In 1939 the newly created House Un-American Activities Committee cut the cord on the Federal Theater Project. HUAC members objected, most of all, to the left-wing leanings of WPA artists and writers. Ironically, they judged the work of dramatists like Blankfort and Gold “un-American” while a play honoring the Confederacy’s four-years-long military effort to break up the United States never even popped up on HUAC’s radar. The Federal Art Project continued through 1943, giving artists a few extra years to create murals and sculptures for schools, post offices, and government buildings, including a mural by William Scott, installed in the Recorder of Deeds building in Washington, DC that shows Frederick Douglass urging Lincoln and his cabinet members to enlist black men in the Union army.

The landscape of international taxation is changing. The OECD’s BEPS project is likely to rewrite the rules governing international taxation in a way that has not been seen since the League of Nations shaped existing rules in the 1920s.
A key component of this is taxation of the financial sector. Various sector-specific tax laws have been proposed. This is providing those in the sector with plenty to think about. One such figure is Mariano Giralt, Managing Director, Tax Services, at BNY Mellon. He


talks to Matthew Gilleard about some of the key tax developments impacting financial services.

The new EU legislation changing the place of supply of business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic services, telecommunications and broadcasting to the country of the consumer has been the VAT story of the year. Joe Stanley-Smith speaks to Dermot Donegan, head of VAT policy at the Irish tax authority (Revenue), about how the plans were finalised during the Irish presidency of the EU Council, his thoughts around their implementation and the possibility of expanding the mini one-stop shop (MOSS) to cover goods and other services.

A £42,000 restoration project is beginning at Dumbarton Castle by Historic Environment Scotland.

The conservation aims to restore a stone sentry turret at the castle which was struck by lightning in 2016.

Last week, a helicopter delivered materials to the upper levels of the castle – which is over 500 steps high.

Scaffolding will then be installed around the remains of the turret to allow staff access, and to build up traditional wooden propping to support the roof as it is reconstructed.

Once the keystone at the summit of the dome has been fitted, the roof will be self-supporting and the props removed.

The castle, where Mary Queen of Scots took refuge before fleeing to France in 1548, sits on the volcanic rock which overlooks the Clyde.

Dr David Mitchell, Director ofConservation for HES said: “The damage caused to the sentry cupola by lightning earlier this year caused significant damage to electrical systems and the masonry tower - I visited the site soon after the incident and was taken aback at the destructive power of the lightning strike.

"By combining the conservation and traditional craft skills of our stone masons we will be able to re-construct the tower, retaining as much historic fabric as possible.

"The geology of the rock was of course a key attribute in its use as a place of fortification - the ease of defending the site and the dramatic vista from the rock were key to its success. Those same attributes present us with challenges in transporting heavy materials safely to the top of the rock.


Sen. Bernie Sanders said in early April that he supports allowing people who are currently incarcerated to vote.

Sanders is the first Democrat to endorse this idea, which is already implemented in his home state of Vermont.

The Senator from Vermont expanded on his stance on voting rights for incarcerated people during a CNN town hall on Monday. Sanders said he supports voting rights for all US citizens, even if they're "terrible people" — contending disenfranchising any group of Americans is a slippery slope.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proposed enfranchising felons who've completed their prison sentences, but has stopped short of promoting voting rights for current prisoners.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in early April became the first Democratic presidential candidate to champion extending voting rights to people currently behind bars, andthat, yes, I do."

It's up to states whether or not current or former inmates are allowed to vote. In Vermont, felons maintain voting rights regardless of whether they're incarcerated, but it varies from state to state.

In Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, a lifetime voting ban is placed on people convicted of murder or rape. Meanwhile in Iowa and Kentucky, people with felony records are barred from voting for life unless the governor personally intervenes.

Oprah Picks Girls for South African School

Oprah Winfrey is one step closer to opening her long-anticipated South African girls' school, telling the first 73 ecstatic students in person over the weekend that the program will prepare them to attend "the best universities in the world."

The talk-show host has been planning the $40 million Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, to be built on 52.7 acres south of Johannesburg, since 2002. On Sunday in Pretoria, she told the 73 girls aged 11 and 12 – who thought they were attending another interview – that they'd been accepted.

Speaking at Sunday's event, Winfrey, 52, said the project was a natural for her. "I grew up with my grandmother," she said, according to the Guardian.

In this riding mower, since the heavy battery and fuel tank are arranged below the operator's seat, a rearward shift of the center of gravity due to the engine mounted in the rear part is resolved and, thereby improving the weight balance of the entire mower body. However, since the space below the operator's seat is limited, a large-capacity fuel tank cannot be arranged. If the large-capacity fuel tank is arranged forcibly, it may cause another problem that the operator's seat is located high.

Pat. No. 5,347,799 discloses a riding mower in which an engine, a fuel tank, and an air cleaner are arranged in a horizontal plane behind an operator's seat. In this case, the fuel tank is located lateral to the engine, and the air cleaner is located behind the fuel tank. Since the fuel tank, the operator's seat, the engine, and the air cleaner are arranged without overlapping with each other when seen from above of the riding mower, it becomes possible to suppress the height of the riding mower. However, the capacity of the fuel tank becomes smaller, resulting in more frequent refueling.Canadian police are investigating after a human foot washed up on the shores of British Columbia – marking the 14th time since 2007 that tides have carried a shoe-clad foot on to the province’s coastline.

The latest grisly discovery was made on Gabriola Island in the strait of Georgia on Sunday, said the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A man was walking along the beach just after noon when he came across what appeared to be a disarticulated foot inside a hiking boot. The boot had become lodged in a logjam, police said in a statement.

The find was the latest in a series that has sparked speculation around the world. Since 2007, another 13 feet have washed up in British Columbia, all of them clad in running shoes.

The last sneaker-clad foot was found in December 2017 by a man walking his dog along the southern coast of Vancouver Island. After an object tangled in sea kelp captured his dog’s attention, he leaned in for a closer look and found a fibula and tibia attached to a left foot, all of it encased in a white sock and black Velcro shoe.

The province’s coroner service later said the foot belonged to a 79-year-old Washington state man who had gone missing and was later found dead. The investigation is ongoing.

The European amateur MMA championships are taking place in Rome this week. Ireland is sending out a 31 strong team to this year’s competition. I caught up with Team Ireland head coach Andy Ryan as he was heading to the airport to meet up with the athletes and coaches before flying out to the Italian capital later in the day.

Ireland Team Selections

Injury has reduced the size of the Irish team above, the most notable absentee this week will be current European and World Heavyweight champion Ryan Spillane.

The European championships are taking place under the banner of the World governing body IMMAF. IMMAF are the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation and are probably the largest international body for amateur MMA in the world. They certainly seem to be growingcategories, from Atomweight to Lightweight for women, and Strawweight to Super Heavyweight for men.

While the Senior Championships is open to all eligible athletes over the age of 18, the U21s Junior Championships gives a platform for competitors of 18, 19 and 20 years only. The Junior events are designed to provide better opportunity for younger rising stars to shine against fellow competitors of a similarly limited range of experience. In line with IMMAF- WMMAA’s ethos, they also create a safer competition environment for younger adults who have not yet reached their physical peak.

Gold, Silver and 2 Bronze medals will be available to win in each division, and competitors will earn ranking points for the IMMAF-WMMAA World Amateur MMA Rankings. Both tournaments take place under the Unified Amateur MMA

'He's constantly got a girl, maybe even five. He is a sick bastard, trying to keep up with his image.'

Another prostitute who works in Tauranga, on the North Island of New Zealand where Rudd lives, said she had visited Rudd's house and boat a couple of times and spent the night with him without ever having sex.

The identities of the man Rudd had supposedly wanted killed and the man he tried to hire to do the job have been suppressed.One of the targets is reportedly a 46-year-old martial arts fighter.

The man Rudd allegedly tried to hire to commit the murders has told The Herald that Rudd hired him as a bodyguard when he was threatened for not paying prostitutes.

He described Rudd as 'the Hugh Hefner of Tauranga' and claimed the amount of money he spent on prostitutes was 'like someone's yearly wage'.

One prostitute, who told Daily Mail Australia that Rudd was never slow paying her, described the bizarre scenes on the boat he kept berthed near his restaurant, Phil's Place.

'There were up to four girlswhen I've been there,' she said. 'He sort of separates the girls'. On his boat, he'd have one in his main room, one in the lounge area and one in the smaller room. He'd go to different rooms randomly.

'He didn't like us playing with his little dog. He had it in a little cage inside the house and we sort of made a fuss of it.He nutted off at us when we paid attention to the dog.'

The woman told Daily Mail Australia that Rudd would insist the escorts he called to his boat sit in a lounge area and wait for him.When he entered the lounge he would be so incoherent as to be incomprehensible.

AC/DC fans continued to back Rudd, with one, Stefan Matijasevich, saying he and his girlfriend Jessica had made the 200km drive from Auckland as a show of support.

'I had faith in him, I was always 100 per cent on his side,' he said.

Meanwhile, another sex worker told Daily Mail Australia that Rudd owed her $3000. She said he owed her brothel the same amount for the same booking.The brothel owner hadn't chased up the debt because it would be bad for business.

John Lynch as 'Shades' I thought was particularly good, giving the film one of its genuinely funny scenes.

Bernstein said FOX has driven Trump's candidacy less than Matt Drudge and called the website "an influence unequalled."

With its new status and strategic location, Sacramento quickly prospered and became the western end of the Pony Express. Later it became a terminus of the First Transcontinental Railroad, which began construction in Sacramento in 1863 and was financed by "The Big Four"—Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker, Collis P. Huntington, and Leland Stanford. Both the American and especially Sacramento rivers would be key elements in the economic success of the city. In fact, Sacramento effectively controlled commerce on these rivers, and public works projects were funded though taxes levied on goods unloaded from boats and loaded onto rail cars in

Cuisine

In 2012, Sacramento started the marketing campaign as "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital" due to Sacramento's many restaurants that source their food from the numerous surrounding farms. The city has an annual Farm-to-Fork festival that showcases various grocers and growers in the industry. In 2012, The Kitchen was nominated for Outstanding Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation. It continues to excel, earning the AAA's Five Diamond dining award since 2011. Sacramento is home to well-known cookbook authors, Biba Caggiano of Biba's Restaurant and Mai Pham of Lemongrass and Star Ginger.

Most arrived at San Francisco, which was then the largest city in California and known as "Dà Bù" ("Big Port", Chinese: 大埠, Jyutping: daai6 fau6). Some eventually came to Sacramento, then the second-largest city in California and consequently called "Yee Fow" ("Second City", Chinese: 二埠, Jyutping: ji6 fau6). Today the city is known as 萨克拉门托 (pinyin: Sàkèlāméntuō) by Mainland Chinese and as 沙加緬度 (pinyin: Shājiāmiǎnduó) by Taiwanese.

Sacramento's Chinatown was on "I" Street from Second to Sixth Streets. At the time, this area of "I" Street was considered a health hazard because, lying within a levee zone, it was lower than other parts of the city, which were situated on higher land. Throughout Sacramento's Chinatown history, there were fires,

Government

The Government of Sacramento operates as a charter city (as opposed to a general law city) under the Charter of the City of Sacramento. The elected government is composed of the Sacramento City Council with 8 city council districts and the Mayor of Sacramento, which operate under a mayor-council government In addition, there are numerous departments and appointed officers such as the City Manager, Sacramento Police Department (SPD), the Sacramento Fire Department (SFD), City Clerk, City Attorney, and City Treasurer. As of 2016, the mayor is Darrell Steinberg and the council members are Angelique Ashby, Allen Warren, Jeff Harris, Steve Hansen, Jay Schenirer, Rich Jennings, and Larry Carr.

A series of inquiries are dedicated to the residence itself, including when it was built, how much land it occupies, how many rooms it has, number of bathrooms, type of plumbing, and market worth. The survey also asks the cost of monthly utility bills, mortgage or rent, and the dates each resident moved in.

The form also asks how many children each resident has given birth to, if any, or if any residents are currently pregnant. Military service and retirement questions are also covered in the ACS.

The ACS also requires employment addresses, the time each resident leaves fordata the Census has traditionally asked. I have seen early 1800's census forms, in which 25 or more families were recorded on one legal size sheet of paper, one line per family. You had the name of the head of household, then columns for number of male and females in age ranges. Head of household occupation was included and race of household. By 1850, you could still get two large families on one sheet of paper. The change became one line per person, not family. Each family member was named, then age, race, etc. Occupation was also asked for each. Typical was farmer, housewife, student, at home. This is the stuff that is legitimate. The ACS is a thinly disguised mechanism to pile on questions that bypass legal

You can even see this at work within the titles of his books; his earlier pieces, Moon in a Mason Jar and What My Father Believed, make no reference to nature or the natural world, while Earthly Meditations and Reign of Snakes are quite obviously referencing nature.
Nature becoming dominant in his work is perhaps symptomatic of his own self-discovery as an artist.

DESIRE LINES

“Desire Line – a path created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. Desire lines emerge as shortcuts where constructed ways take a circuitous route,have gaps or are non-existent.” (Wikipedia)

The landscape as a genre has held captive the imagination of the American public for the better part of the last two centuries. With unbound adoration, we have embraced the landscape, from the grandeur of the paintings of the Hudson School to the manifest destiny myth of a rugged and unspoiled west. Americans have been drawn to artists’ interpretation of place, real and fictional. Despite the popularity of the landscape, too often the public conceptualizes these works in a very traditional way, whether that is plein air oil, watercolor painting or photographs that are devoid of any hint of human disturbance.

Desire Lines highlights the various paths, ranging from archiving to reproduction to collaborations with nature to works that critique the history of landscape


[The increase and decrease of the total pollen counts of Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) due to abnormal weather during pollen scattering season].
We investigated the changing total number of airborne pollen grains of Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) due to abnormal weather during pollen scattering season. The pollen season was divided into 7 periods by the discrepancies in forest flowering time for observations. The observation forests were located at an altitude of 150 m, 220 m, 350 m, and 500 m, and 800 m in the Rokko mountains. These were located at equal spaces, when altitude was taken in the logarithm. The distribution percentage of pollen counts from 1993 to 1998 showed an almost normal distribution level. This was demonstrated by the Log-Normal Probability paper, with a middle level altitude of ashirts are created entirely from the text of books. Up to 40,000 words per t shirt.

King III delivered a speech during an Alliance San Diego-hosted event at the Border Field State Park that called on the country to "create a collective consciousness that holds the values of human dignity, liberty and civility."

King III's remarks:

"This border wall behind me has become a symbol of hate and division. It leads to the separation of children from their parents, endangers border communities and takes the lives of people in search of safety and freedom. For many, it is a symbol that represents the injustices against immigrants and


for all of the people of North America and the world.

Towards the final days of his life, my father often turned to a theme honed in the crucible of nonviolent struggle. That theme was a call to conscience. It was a call that would create a collective consciousness that holds the values of human dignity, liberty and civility. This would be a revolution of values. That revolution would restructure the very architecture of our society. That call to conscience remains today. And, it is up to you and me to answer the call and realize his Dream."

On Aug. 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his powerful speech during the March on Washington.1990. It is understatement to say that the parties have had a full and fair opportunity to provide the court with evidentiary submissions and briefing in support of their respective positions. I now am prepared to render a decision.

BACKGROUND
The background of this action is involved. GDC is a corporation incorporated in Delaware. GDC has its principal executive offices in Miami, Florida (complaint para. 4). GDC develops planned communities in Florida. It appears, from the complaint, that GDC is involved in developing communities in Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach/Vero Beach Highlands, Sebastian Highlands, Port Malabar, Port St. John, Silver Spring Shores, Julington Creek, Port LaBelle and Port Charlotte/North Port/Myakka Estates, Florida. In developing these communities, GDC purchases land, plats the land for sale, constructs roads and drainage, water, and


peddling, the date of completion of improvements, the types of improvements that would be made, the costs of improvements, the relationship of GDC to its many subsidiaries which permitted self-dealing and multiple dipping, the role of GDC as a developer, past and current appreciation of property at North Port and other GDC subdivisions, GDC's maintenance of improvements to plaintiff's property, the willingness or ability of the City of North Port and other municipal bodies to maintain improvements in GDC developments, such as paved roads and drainage, the availability of rentals, and the demand for building lots ("homesites") in North Port and other GDC areas, the resale results and possibilities for these "homesite" lots, the number of lots GDC would plat and continue to sell (more than 200,000 plattedand sold at North Port and GDC's adjoining Port Charlotte subdivision), economic and environmental restrictions and impediments to improving North Port lots and GDC's other subdivisions, the only conditions under which the City of North Port will accept or maintain lots sold by GDC in North Port, the number of lots which GDC did, can/or will improve with central water and sewers, the problems of obtaining permits for central water and sewerage and the costs of same, the flood prone conditions at GDC developments such as North Port, the availability of refunds to out of state purchasers of property at North Port, the market value of lots and their saleability [sic], the availability of improved lots to exchange, and the other facts why North Port lots and GDC's


member. The name of that law firm is Richard Joel and Associates.... That law firm has offices in New York and New Jersey. Richard Joel, senior partner, will be in charge of members' individual litigation. We urge lot purchasers to independently verify the professional standing and experience of that law firm through their personal attorney or local Bar Association
(complaint exh. D).
Once at these meetings, referenced in letters like the one detailed above, it appears that Mr. Binstein urged interested individuals to join the Association's and take up the cudgels against GDC. For instance, at the October 10, 1989 meeting in Albany, New York, over which Mr. Binstein presided, Mr. Binstein first explained that he was not an attorney, but that he had thirteen years experience in researching fraudulentthe long run; and (6) that GDC people might go to prison for violating the RICO Act. It appears that, in addition to this particular meeting, the Association held other meetings in Saddle Brook, New Jersey; Queens, New York; Elmsford, New York; Albany, New York; Connecticut; and Lexington, Massachusetts (complaint para. 12). It is reasonable to infer that the same basic themes were dealt with at these meetings.
In view of Mr. Binstein's and Mr. Joel's conduct, GDC filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on October 27, 1988. In this complaint, GDC states that certain parts of the letters that Mr. Binstein sent were false. First, as to the letters' statement that "North Port lots sold by General Development


at the various organizational meetings of the Association, in particular stating that:
(1) GDC was guilty of fraud and RICO violations;
(2) GDC "swindled" people by selling lots as investments;
(3) GDC's homesites were on unbuildable lots;
(4) the City of North Port was part of the "scam;"
(5) GDC never obtained any of the necessary permits and approvals from the State of Florida to develop North Port;
(6) the residents of North Port were part of a conspiracy with GDC to defraud people living in the North;
(7) GDC targeted nine areas in the North within which to perpetrate "land scams;"
(8) GDC has been ordered by a court not to refer to its lots as homesites; and
(9) the people at GDC responsible for the "swindle" may go to jail for violating RICO.
(complaint para. 26).communications that contain misrepresentations and omissions (complaint paras. 52-66). Last, GDC asserted that Mr. Joel has violated certain ethical and statutory provisions regarding the improper solicitation of legal business with Mr. Binstein aiding, abetting, and assisting him in this regard (complaint paras. 67-70). The plaintiff submitted that this alleged improper solicitation constituted intentional tort, "unlawful maintenance and barratry at common law" (id.).
The defendants did not answer these allegations immediately. Rather, when this action was pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York before Judge Broderick, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment dismissing the complaint in late, 1988. It appears from the record that Judge Broderick, at first, continued the motion due to a rule of his court. In a January 9,


motion for sanctions dealt with in my December 11, 1989 opinion). After Judge Broderick rendered his decision, the parties consented to a transfer to this district, and subsequently, to me "for the convenience of the parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice," "with the thought that it could be there consolidated" with the Rolo matter in September, 1989. Then, to use a tired phrase, "all hell broke loose."
On September 29, 1989, Mr. Joel, at the time appearing pro se, filed a motion for summary judgment, or, alternatively, for a stay of the proceedings pending the outcome of Rolo. On October 23, 1989, Mr. Binstein joined the fray, filing a similar application. On October 30, 1989, GDC filed a cross-motion for Rule 11 sanctions. On December 11, 1989,In addition to these submissions, however, he also based his motion on the fact that a federal grand jury sitting in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida had returned a sixteen count indictment against GDC and that GDC and certain corporate officers had agreed to plead guilty to count 16 of the indictment  conspiracy to commit mail fraud and interstate transport of persons in furtherance of fraud. Mr. Binstein notified the court of this fact in mid-March, 1990.
The indictment named GDC, GDV Financial Corporation, and two corporate officers (Robert F. Ehrling and David F. Brown). The indictment stated that pursuant to a scheme and artifice, "GDC sold over 11,000 houses from January 1, 1982, through December 31, 1988, and received as proceeds


and unlawfully, did combine, conspire, confederate and agree with persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury to violate Title 18, U.S.C., Section 1341 (mail fraud) and Title 18, U.S.C., Section 2314 (interstate transport of persons in furtherance of a fraud)" (indictment, count 16, para. 5).
On March 22, 1990, GDC, Robert F. Ehrling, and David P. Brown conditionally pled guilty to count 16 of the indictment before United States District Court Judge Lenore C. Nesbitt in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. There, Mr. Andres Rivero, representing the United States Government proffered that during the period of July 1, 1985 through July 1, 1986, GDC targeted certain nonFlorida residents to buy lots. Then, after two or three years, according to Mr. Rivero, GDCon June 29, 1990. Thereafter, the parties furnished me with additional submissions.
On July 16, 1990, I received a letter from Mr. Redmon of Davis, Markel & Edwards. Therein, he informed the court, "[i]t has just come to my attention that Judge Nesbitt of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has refused to accept the conditional guilty pleas of GDC and the individual defendants in the criminal matter pending before her."
Specifically, on July 13, 1990 Judge Nesbitt advised GDC, among others, that she would not accept the plea of guilty. She stated, "I am not prepared to accept the pleas of guilty because I am not satisfied that the penalties that could be imposed for the single count of the indictment is commensurate with

Norristown, Pennsylvania (CNN) Spending two days sitting in a Pennsylvania courtroom listening to lawyers argue over his blindness -- and with a criminal trial seven months away -- is likely the last place Bill Cosby imagined he would find himself at 79 years of age.

But that's where he was this week as a Montgomery County judge listened to lengthy pre-trial arguments on several key issues -- the outcome of which will significantly shape the famous comedian's upcoming trial.

Much has changed in Cosby's life since May of last year when he wrapped up his "Far From Finished" comedy tour. Not only does he now face three counts of aggravated indecent assault stemming from accusations made by a former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand, but his lawyers say he isblind, and that condition is severely hampering his defense.

Cosby has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

'Can he really not see a photo six inches from his face?'

TV cameras, reporters, and onlookers swarmed the Norristown courthouse on Tuesday and Wednesday, hoping to catch their first glimpse of Cosby since his lawyers revealed in court filings last month that he suffers from a "degenerative eye condition."

"He can't write, he can't read, he can't draw or drive -- he's blind," defense attorney, Angela Agrusa, told CNN Friday.

Constand's allegations are only part of a longer story for prosecutors, as they want to show he's engaged in a specific, repeated pattern of criminal behavior over the years by introducing testimony from at least 13 other women who claim that Cosby sexually assaulted them.


for years. While unbeknownst to audiences who attended his performances last year, Cosby required neon yellow tape be stretched from the backstage area to his chair on stage so that he could see, according to his publicist, Andrew Wyatt.

"This didn't happen overnight," Wyatt told CNN on Thursday. Wyatt is regularly seen at court hearings by Cosby's side, guiding him by the bicep in and out of the courthouse, and helping him into his car.

His loss of sight has been a "major adjustment" in his life, according to Agrusa -- though it remains unclear when exactly he was first diagnosed with glaucoma or declared legally blind.

Medical experts say that glaucoma does "progressive damage" to the optic nerve, leading to blind spots in one's vision. Often by the time aperson first notices symptoms, the condition has advanced, according to Dr. Anastasios Costarides of the Emory Eye Center in Atlanta.

"Once you've lost vision from glaucoma, you can't bring it back," Costarides, who is not involved in the Cosby case, told CNN.

Some legal experts, however, say that it is unlikely Cosby's blindness will result in the dismissal of all charges. Laura Coates, CNN legal analyst and a former prosecutor, explained that even if Cosby is blind, he has "ample tools at his disposal to provide his lawyers with an alibi or other exculpatory evidence" to challenge the credibility of the 13 other accusers. A fair trial is not "contingent on eyesight," Coates said.

The judge gave no indication when he would issue a ruling on the defense motion to dismiss.

Expressions


in court show mixed emotions

Vision issues aside, the famous entertainer did not shy away from showing his feelings in court this week, entering the courtroom with a confident stride and cracking a smile as his lawyers wrangled with the judge. "He's doing well, he's in great spirits," Wyatt told CNN.

Yet at other times, he appeared more withdrawn.

Cosby frowned, looking down at the floor as District Attorney Kevin Steele began describing alleged "drug-facilitated rapes" and a "decades-long pattern of sexual assault." During other long stretches of argument, Cosby leaned back in his chair away from counsel table, with his head in his hand.

Cosby's wife, Camille, was not with him in court this week, but Wyatt told CNN that Cosby has the "full support" of his family and friends, andHospice is about living!

Our History

History of the Peace Arch Hospice Society

The origins of the Peace Arch Hospice Society trace back to a community meeting initiated by First United Church in 1981. The impetus for the meeting related to the unmet needs of people in the community requiring palliative care. This first meeting evolved into a grass roots movement led by Teresa Hotell, the Society’s founder and first Executive Director. This group moved forward quickly and in August 1982 the White Rock Hospice Society was incorporated under the Society Act of British Columbia.

The 1980s

The early years were highlighted by volunteers providing their time and resources to ensure the Society achieved its mandate of providing support to palliative clients and their families and to educating the community about the hospice


movement. The first hospice volunteers were trained by the Pastoral institute of British Columbia.

Peace Arch Community Services provided the first formal office space and some early funding support came from the United Way. By 1985, the Society’s trained volunteers were providing support to clients at Peace Arch Hospital, in care facilities in the community, and in private homes. During this period, the Society’s services were extended to provide professional counseling and grief support to individuals and families.

In the latter of half of the 1980s, the Society continued to grow locally and played an integral role in the development of a palliative care unit at Peace Arch Hospital. During this period, the Society also played a leading role in the establishment of the BC Hospice Palliative Care Association andhad representation on the board of the BC Bereavement Foundation. By the end of the decade, the Society had a small paid staff and a vibrant volunteer group that needed more space in order to meet the community needs for hospice palliative care services and grief support programs.

The 1990s

In 1992 the Society purchased a house on Russell Avenue in White Rock. This residence was converted to office and multipurpose meeting room space for the Society’s programs and services. This facility became known in the community as the Hospice House. Though generous bequests from supporters during the 1990’s the Society was able to purchase the residence immediately to


the west of Hospice House and it was used as a source of rental income over the years. Throughout the balance of the decade and into the current century the Society’s base of volunteers continued to grow and now numbers over 200. Volunteers include those directly serving clients and those who provide clerical and fundraising services among a myriad of other opportunities that present themselves.

The 2000’s

As the Society approached its 20th anniversary in 2002, the provincial government created the Fraser Health Authority and soon therewas a commitment to develop hospice beds in every community within Fraser Health. It was now clear that the Society would have the support of the Health Authority to reach its long held dream of creating a Hospice Residence, but to achieve this goal work had to be done to improve financial self sufficiency and strengthen every facet of the organization.

By 2006 plans were in place to develop the Hospice Society Thrift Store, which is now an example of what can be accomplished when hard work supports an achievable goal. Since it opened its doors to the public in February 2008, the Thrift Store has generated ever increasing sales, and by the end of the decade it was contributing 13% of the Society’s gross revenue.

In 2007 the Society


began planning for a Hospice Residence in White Rock, however, the worldwide financial crisis that occurred in 2008 served to delay this project from moving ahead as quickly as it might have otherwise. While this was disappointing, it provided the Society with an opportunity to revisit the assumptions on which the project was based and to review the strategies intended to bring the project to completion. Through this period, the need for the Society to have appropriate space from which to deliver existing programs and to develop new programs became a primary objective.

The Society’s volunteer and client base continued to grow throughout the decade and during the two year period ending in 2009 the Society’s volunteer base increased by 32%. The new resources of people and money allowedfor significant growth of existing programs and the development of many new programs to meet the demand of a vibrant and growing community.

It was also in 2009 that the property directly to the east of the Hospice House came up for sale. To complete their vision of having a Free Standing Hospice and Supportive Care Centre, the Society took a loan to purchase the property. This gave the Society added rental income and the land space they would need to fulfill their goal.

In 2009 the Society reviewed and renewed it Mission, Vision and Values statements, revised its constitution and bylaws, and developed a 3-year strategic plan. Subsequently a communication plan was launched that included the development of a new website and a print media campaign to create awareness


and educate the community about hospice palliative care.

2010 – 2012

In 2010 the Society formalized a plan for board development and intentionally recruited new Board to fill the desired skills and abilities that had been identified a s necessary to continue the Society’s growth. The Governance model was modified and governance policies were developed that clearly identified and differentiated the roles and responsibilities of the Board and Executive Director.

The Society’s name was changed to White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society in 2010 to include reference to the South Surrey Community which had been served the the Society since its inception in 1982. The staff directed fundraising efforts and the recruitment of 3rd party and corporate sponsorships resulted in significant growth in revenue. This growth, combined with the continued successof the Thrift Store, resulted in the Society’s earned revenue representing 71% of gross revenue by the end of fiscal 2011 compared to 54% at the end of fiscal 2009.

Two major projects were on the horizon as the Society looked ahead to its 30th anniversary in 2012. The first project related to the planning and selection of new expanded space for the Thrift Store, which had outgrown its current space which was leased until the end of 2012. The continued growth of the operation was essential for the Society’s long term financial security and independence.

The second project related to a new expanded Supportive Care Centre and Hospice Residence. In late 2010 Fraser Health planning staff and their consultants began to work with community stakeholders to prepare a master


concept site plan for the Peace Arch Hospital lands. During this exercise the Society was given a opportunity to provide Fraser Health with its planning objectives and functional requirements for the proposed Hospice Residence and Supportive Care Centre. At a meeting with Fraser Health staff in the fall of 2011, the Society was advised that Fraser Health was committed to providing a site located in the south-east corner of the Peace Arch Hospital lands for the development of these facilities. The Society was actively involved with Fraser Health in the planning of the build. Many meetings took place with plans going back and forth until a final design was agreed upon by both parties. Once the approvals were to be in place and the land-lease negotiations completed, theSociety would finalize building plans and commence to plan for a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to complete this project. They were looking forward to bringing this important project to fruition as it was a major step toward achieving their vision that all residents of the Semiahmoo Peninsula have the support they need as they face advanced illness and bereavement.

2010 – Hike 4 Hospice at Centennial Park

2013 – 2016

However, without warning, in the spring of 2013 the Ministry of Health announced that they would be giving a three million dollar grant to the Peace Arch Hospital & Community Health Foundation for the expansion of the Peace Arch Hospital Hospice. None of the 3 million was allocated to the Society and no monies were given for a


the Society would not be able to build the Supportive Care Centre on the current properties they owned. With this in mind, and the vision as strong as ever, the Society started looking for property that would be close to the newly proposed Hospice Residence. In 2014, the properties were sold on Russell Avenue and a new property was purchased on 16A Avenue in South Surrey, on the same block as the future Hospice Residence. Through the generosity of the builder who purchased the Society’s original properties, they were able to stay in their current building until their new Supportive Care Centre would be built.

In 2016, after much planning and hard work by the Staff and Board of Directors as well as through the generosity of the businessesand community at large, a very successful Capital Campaign was initiated and the 2.1 million dollar goal was reached. On September 8th, 2016 White Rock South Surrey Hospice Society had their ground-breaking ceremony and the mortgage-free build was started. Also during this time, after community consultation and an in-depth, comprehensive process, the Society changed their name to Peace Arch Hospice Society to better reflect the location of their growing community.

UNITEDRANT

Michael Carrick: a season in numbers

Love him, hate him, Michael Carrick has divided supporter opinion like few other modern Manchester United players. Superb during his début season with the club, only to suffer an 18 month slump after the 2009 Champions League final. But the Wallsend-born midfielder has returned to form with gusto this season… (right-click ‘open in new tab’ for the full size image)

What was that about passing backwards too much? Yeah thought so… Carrick is going to be remembered by those who love him as the most underrated United player of modern times. The haters will say he was a waste of money. I was sceptical at first but I think he’s proven himself this season and at his first season.

Is it me or is heLeague last year, I feel he was one of the reasons we did so well in The Champions League… his performance against Chelsea was right up there. I was one of the people who ripped him for his performance last year, but credit where credit it due. Fantastic season this year, and I can tell he’s enjoying playing which is wonderful to see.

Not gonna drag this one out, as it’d done to death ny now but he indeed had two great games against Chelsea in the Champions league last season .
But people make way too much of these two games.
Firstly Chelsea arnt they team they were and secondly, Chelsea are a Premiership team not Spanish , German or Portuguese team that we cant often even match in midfield.
He


watch Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets and I see how these players are played in formations that bring out the best in them. But we expect Carrick to do the job of three players cos he is wearing the no 16!

Before we try and rewrite history, we picked up last season when Carrick got his form back around November. He was sensational in all our European games. Our manager had a stinker in the Champions League final by playing him and Giggs against Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in the final. This season he has been exceptional too.

Consumers will prioritise data security in purchase decisions and will expect security to become part of


the vehicle standard operating equipment.

Dieter Becker, Global Head of Automotive at KPMG: “The financial strength of the biggest technology companies overshadows the major auto manufacturers. Together, the 50 major auto manufacturers make up only 20 percent of the market capitalisation of the 15 biggest technology companies. In 2010 they made up 40 percent. This clearly shows digital companies are playing in a completely different financial league. Particularly for mass producers, partnership is key if they want to survive against the technology giants. Although premium suppliers are better positioned, they too have recognised the signs, resulting in integrations such as map services or charging stations for electric cars.”

The number of car dealers is likely to decline sharply

Tuesday's incident has raised concerns over security procedures in the wake of an alleged plot to blow up planes on trans-Atlantic flight.

The boy was detected by member of the Monarch Airlines cabin crew only after he was seated and had been given a drink and a snack.

He was removed from the plane by police officers before the flight took off.

"The boy had passed through a full security screening process and we are confident there was no threat to passengers, staff or the aircraft at any time," said Stewart McDonald, a spokesman for BAA, which operates Gatwick, Heathrow and five other major UK airports.

BAA has launched an investigation into the incident, McDonald said Wednesday.

The boy had run away from a care home in northwest England andthe flight which is the critical issue, and then serve as a witness to the government forces to get them probable cause to hold and search the person considered a threat. I think that would let us best mirror the more effective approaches of other countries without giving the government powers it shouldn't have.

Actually, citizens who are not law enforcement CAN arrest someone if they catch them in the act of committing a crime (such as attempting to carry weapons onto an airplane). It's called "citizen's arrest".

Here in North America the right to be free from racial or religous discrimination is engrained in the constitution. Anyone that thinks this right should be sacrificed in the name of "efficiency" doesn't deserve to hold these rights.

to drop off the tour due to a death in their singer’s family. I decided to attend the show anyway, in part because Pet Symmetry – a fun pop punk group featuring Evan Thomas Weiss of Into It. Over It. – filled Pinegrove’s spot. It turned out, however, that the highlight of the evening was the first opener: a band called Petal, which at first seemed unassuming. But soon, the band’s leader, Kiley Lotz, completely captured my attention. Her seemingly simple melodies were infectious, and so was her bubbly personality, as she kept talking about how honored she was to perform on Prince’s home turf. (She played a killer Prince cover too.) Since the show, Petal’s latest album has seen many rotations on my turntable.

City Pages, which has repeatedly named The Garage as the top all-ages venue in the Twin Cities, described the perplexing place thusly: “During the day, The Garage serves as an after-school youth center, offering everything from homework help and Guitar Hero sessions to weightlifting and support groups. But at night the Garage transforms into a bona fide club (minus the booze) that helps promote the local music scene.”

One of the high school bands I played in performed at The Garage more than a decade ago, and stepping inside to see locally based Tiny Moving Parts was like entering a time machine. Rather than a bar, there’s a little café that sells coffee, soda


1979, members of his family brought plaintiff to defendant Bergen Pines County Hospital ("the hospital"). He was 29 years old and had a history of mental illness. Although the parties described the commitment as "voluntary" we note that plaintiff was admitted to the hospital on certification of an Englewood Hospital physician. Presumably the commitment was pursuant to N.J.S.A. 30:4-46.1 *346 which permits seven days temporary commitment on the certification of a single physician. Defendant Dr. Ghanta, an employee of the hospital, examined plaintiff and concluded that he suffered from "schizophrenia chronic undifferentiated suicidal."
The doctor assigned plaintiff to the closed ward where he was placed in leather restraints "for his own protection." After responding to treatment he was transferred on June 18 to a less restricted open ward. Inkept in minimal restraints as they are improving to develop a sense of control. This is important for the schizophrenic patient who may be anxious and does not feel that he has a sense of control.
Significantly, he added, "The chronic schizophrenic patient is never totally impulse-free but they cannot be locked up for the remainder of their lives."
Unlike patients in the closed ward, open ward patients were permitted escorted walks on the hospital grounds. During such a walk on June 20, plaintiff detached himself from the group and was later injured by an automobile while attempting to cross the Garden State Parkway. Plaintiff settled his negligent supervision claim against the hospital and the nurses who were in charge of the walk. Summary judgment was entered in favor of

Remembering Tony...

Image from TONY'S LONG MARCH (photo: Sherman Ong)

During the upcoming Singapore International Film Festival, they'll be a tribute to Tony Yeow, the Singaporean film producer who died in June this year. Tony worked as the Unit Manager on Saint Jack, among many other things. He produced, conceived and co-directed about six feature films during his career; developed dozens more; produced and directed a bunch of commercials, documentaries and PSAs; was a TV presenter for a while; as well as an actor in big-budget TV miniseries and local theatre productions. Tony was a character. And Sherman Ong and myself set out to capture that in a film we shot between 2008 and 2010 called Tony's Long March. We'll be showing that at the tribute, and


hearing from some of those who worked with him.

Details of the event can be found here. Scroll down to find 'Remembering Tony'.

In the meantime, here's something I wrote about him for Time Out Singapore in 2008.

***

Singapore’s film industry has its fair share of colourful characters, none more so than Tony Yeow. A producer, writer, director, occasional actor and veteran of television and commercials, Tony was born in 1938, around the same time as the Shaw Brother’s set up their film studio in Jalan Ampas and so his career spans the history of film-making in Singapore until today.

“I’m a has-been that never was,” he ‘s fond of saying, and its true that Tony has been an outsider, hustling to get projects off the ground, facing indifference, censorship and criticalhostility along the way. He’s also a survivor, and recalls several close escapes from death during his WW2 era childhood in Chinatown (one bad fall leaving him with two broken arms), which he credits to “somebody upstairs taking a liking to me.”

As a boy, Tony often slipped off alone to the cinema, soaking up martial arts and horror flicks, “I enjoyed it, but I never thought I’d end up as a film producer.” Instead, as the premature breadwinner for his family, he became a teacher, then stumbled into radio broadcasting, largely on the strength of his still-resonant, crystal-clear voice, a tool he deliberately cultivated to imitate colonial era English news announcers. He side-stepped into television, getting promoted as a producer and presenter, and managing to be in the


studio in 1965, when Lee Kuan Yew tearfully told the nation of Singapore’s separation from Malaysia.

His first film, Ring of Fury, came in the aftermath of a year working in TV in Hong Kong, “they had colour, Singapore was still in black and white.” Tony had met Bruce Lee, who was deeply into disco, “He was always dancing. He broached the idea of doing a musical with me. Unfortunately a year later he died.” Inspired by Lee, Tony created the Singapore’s first and (so far) last martial arts action film, producing, storylining and co-directing a low-budget but very stylish tale of a humble noodle-seller (played by Peter Chong, a real-life Karate master) who battles against gangsters led by a man in a metal mask. Aside from showing manyparts of Singapore in 1973 that no longer exist, the film has some memorably hard-hitting combat scenes. “We didn’t choreograph those,” Tony explains, “I told them where to run, and we just turned on the camera and they fought.”

The film was banned for its portrayal of crime at a time when Singapore was aggressively ‘cleaning up’. After a disaster like that, most people would bow out, but Tony found himself “bitten by the passion”. His second film, a comedy about fisherman-out-of-water called Two Nuts, didn’t change the tide of decline in Singapore’s film industry in the late 70s, and his production company Impact, turned to commercials, documentaries and government campaign films (such as ‘Stop At Two’, intended to curb overpopulation). During this period, Tony joined the crew of


Rebecca Saunders, whose focus on the later prose of Samuel Beckett has for many years now been essential for her composition work, will not only once again relate to a Samuel Beckett text in her commissioned work but will, for the first time, also adapt the text for a singing voice. The selected text entitled XIII comes from the later prose collection Texts for Nothing and also forms the working title of the new piece of work.

The composition XIII will be conceived as a space-filling and shaping work that is to be specially arranged both spatially and acoustically by the Ensemble Musikfabrik in Cologne for the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic in a production phase lasting several days: beyond the stage the performance will be playedtruth drugs?

With both hands he took the cup. The cool, refreshing water sluiced down his parched throat. He drank all of it. Damn the drug consequences.

The woman took the cup from him and eased him back onto the pillows. Her scent lingered for several minutes, cueing a familiar memory that sat just beyond his conscious. Chilled, Rohin pulled the blankets around himself as she retreated beyond his vision. A chair scraped along the floor near the desk.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

Rohin swallowed, testing his throat. "Unsteady." His own voice sounded strange and far away. Ignoring the lingering headache, he risked a question. "What happened? Uh ... do I know you?"

The woman hesitated, then said flatly, "You

The elevator didn't move.

He swore. These must be some special agents. Only Kant's men carried electronic interruptors.

He braced himself for the blast as the doors opened.

He fell as the beam hit him. He closed his eyes and let the darkness come.

* * * * *

Rohin shook himself awake. A mask hovered near his face. It was like he was caught in a repeating nightmare.

"We're done here," a woman's face said behind the mask. She held up a probe.

"Give it to me," a harsh male voice demanded from the darkness.

A click and a slight whirr caught Rohin's attention.

The male chuckled. "I knew there was something at Qyzylqum."

"What should I do with him now?" the woman asked.

"But him under and drop him back at the hive. Let's see what elseare corrupted and the one sample that could be the breakthrough is missing."

Kant's nostrils flared and his jaw tightened. "Then I suggest you have a leak, Hollinrake, and you better get it plugged quickly."

"I think Randy was the leak, and his murder was a gift to you."

Kant slammed his fist on his desk. "I don't need gifts like that. I need results, results that I can use. Are you telling me he had a counter-agent and you've lost it?"

"It wasn't developed, it was a sample," Anna said. "Did you find out about Randy's work and then make arrangements to get his research for yourself?"

"What was there to find out?" he countered. "That's what I have you for. What are you holding out on me, Hollinrake? What did you


Three separate battery incidents occurred downtown over the weekend, including two on State Street and another at 20 North Pinckney St., according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

North Pinckney Street

A police report said two men attacked a family was attacked Saturday night while they were walking from the Old Fashioned restaurant on North Pinckney Street.

Police spokesperson Joel DeSpain said one of the victims, a 28-year-old male, suffered a broken jaw, fractured finger and chipped teeth in the incident. DeSpain said the 58-year-old father intervened in the attack, helping to de-escalate the situation until bouncers from a nearby restaurant arrived to help.

DeSpain said incidents like this are not at all common in Madison, although increased patrol downtown aided a fast response time from law enforcement.

According to the report,police have arrested two suspects, Daniel Barsch, 24, and Kyle Bevilacqua, 24. Barsch faces five counts of substantial battery, battery and disorderly conduct, and Bevilacqua faces five counts of disorderly conduct, the report said.

State Street

Just hours later on Saturday night, police arrested Michael R. Zaiss, 22, on the 500 block of State Street for disorderly conduct and possession of cocaine, according to DeSpain.

The incident report said there were two 22-year-old male victims from Madison involved. After some name calling, one victim was punched in the head and the other suffered a head-butt that may have broken his nose, the report said.

Again, DeSpain said the increased patrol downtown during late-night hours helped catch the suspect. Police encountered the incident outside the Roast Public House during a routine patrol, he

Pellegrini has offered his subversive solutions for the financial system in opinion pieces on financial Web sites and blogs and in correspondence to legislators and senior officials in the Obama administration. One proposal was to use the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) program, enacted as part of the 2008 bailout to help struggling homeowners, as a mechanism to reset inflated real estate prices. Hedge funds and private equity firms would get cheap funds from TALF to help homeowners refinance their underwater mortgages at realistic, lower levels. To do so, they would bideasy step that would help get the aircraft up to the necessary speed and in the air faster.
It's very unlikely that a crew would decrease flaps in this situation, as this would decrease the lift, and thus take even longer for the aircraft to lift off. There have been several crashes where insufficient flaps were suspected as a contributing factor, causing the airplane to not lift off as expected and making it more difficult to control at low speeds. The crew might actually increase flaps to lower the speed needed to lift off.
The crew may also decide to to reject the takeoff. By the time an aircraft is rotating, there may not be enough runway left to stop safely, so the crew must make a quick decision as


His heavy metal band, Fozzy, is celebrating two decades of success, boasting an ever-growing fan base. Jericho produces a highly acclaimed podcast, and is essentially doing all of the things that he loves — but can he do them all at the same time?

In October 2018, Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea made its maiden voyage. The themed cruise was such an incredible success that it only made sense to do another one. The second “Jericho Cruise” is going to take to the seas aboard the Norwegian Pearl on January 20 through January 24, 2020. The awesome expedition charts a course from Miami through the Bahamas.

AEW talents will serve as just some of the featured guests on this particular sailing, but Jericho brought aboard stars fromRing of Honor and Impact Wrestling last year. The man known as Y2J has been in the wrestling business for a very long time, a reality which has allowed him to see the ups and downs — and ins and outs — of the game.

I had the chance to catch up with Chris Jericho, one of the best professional wrestlers — and biggest rock stars — in the world. The former champion doesn’t really have a lot of free time, but it is completely obvious that he’s perfectly fine with that. Jericho spoke on the state of professional wrestling today, his burgeoning partnership with AEW, and his next big cruise.

Maduro has maintained the backing of the powerful armed forces and controls paramilitary groups known as “colectivos.”

On Saturday, Maduro appeared at a “day of anti-imperialism rally” in central Caracas, saying he was “facing my responsibilities as the elected and legitimate president of Venezuela.” It was his first public appearance since the start of the blackouts — the worst in living memory in this oil-rich country. He spoke in a sector of the city that did not have power.

Q:

Earliest science-fiction mention of space stations?

Heinlein's The Puppet Masters, published in 1951, involved three space-stations orbiting Earth. I am curious to know which was the earliest science-fiction which involves space-stations. Furthermore, which was the first one to use the term space-station?
I wouldn't mind an answer addressing short stories, novels, and film. For completeness :)

A:

There are two separate questions here, concerning the origin of the concept and the term.
The earliest science-fiction story about a space station is Edward Everett Hale's 1869 "The Brick Moon" with its 1870 sequel "Life in the Brick Moon" (a combined edition from 1872 is available as a Project Gutenberg etext), but that doesn't answer your question because "The Brick Moon" is only a novella and you asked for a novel. The Puppet Masters (1951)is certainly not the earliest one, because part of Heinlein's 1948 novel Space Cadet is set on a space station. This calls for more research.
If you don't insist on novel length, but you want examples from modern science fiction (so the space stations will be constructed of metals and plastics instead of bricks), a famous early example is "The Jameson Satellite" by Neil R. Jones, first published in Amazing Stories, July 1931:

He had then soliloquized upon the possibility of preserving the human body in its state of death until the end of all earthly time—to that day when the earth would return to the sun from which it had sprung. Quite suddenly one day he had conceived the answer to the puzzling problem which obsessed his mind, leaving


him awed with its wild, uncanny potentialities.He would have his body shot into space enclosed in a rocket to become a satellite of the earth as long as the earth continued to exist. He reasoned logically. Any material substance, whether of organic or inorganic origin, cast into the depths of space would exist indefinitely. He had visualized his dead body enclosed in a rocket flying off into the illimitable maw of space. He would remain in perfect preservation, while on earth millions of generations of mankind would live and die, their bodies to molder into the dust of the forgotten past. He would exist in this unchanged manner until that day when mankind, beneath a cooling sun, should fade out forever in the chill, thin atmosphere of adying world. And still his body would remain intact and as perfect in its rocket container as on that day of the far-gone past when it had left the earth to be hurled out on its career. What a magnificent idea!

You can read the whole story at Project Gutenberg.
But that's just an orbiting mausoleum. If you want a space station with a livelier crew, there's Frank K. Kelly's obscure novelette "Famine on Mars" from Astounding Stories, September 1934, available at the Internet Archive. Notwithstanding the title of the story, the action takes place on a manned (and womanned and Martianned) space station in Earth orbit:

The station seemed to hang in space like a giant's lantern, put here to light the void between the Earth and her satellite moon;


form "spatial station". This does not answer your question, which asks for the first use in a science fiction novel.
So far, the earliest example I've found of the term "space station" in a work of fiction (unfortunately not a novel) is in Manly Wade Wellman's short story "Space Station No. 1", first published in the October 10, 1936 issue of Argosy, reprinted in Famous Fantastic Mysteries, September-October 1939 which is available at The Internet Archive:

In its time Space Station No. 1 was unique in the solar system and probably the universe, for, of all the worlds that swung around the sun, it alone was a creation of mortal engineers and mechanics, built of materials artificially prepared, shaped and joined, for civilized purposes and profit.Without it the Martio-Terrestrial League'sJovian colonies might well have failed at the start. Jupiter's moons abounded in valuable minerals, offered broad lands for development and settlement by emigrants, but they were almost too far away. Only once in two years were Mars and Jupiter in conjunction, close enough for liners and freighters to ply between. A few days thus, then the planets drifted apart on their orbits, the gap widening to an impossible distance for two years more.Wherefore the League's experts planned and built Space Station No. 1, to circle the sun along Mars' orbit, but on the far side of the sun from Mars. Old Sol's gravity carried the synthetic planetoid in approximate position, as the current of a whirlpool carries a chip of wood in an endless circle. Occasional rocket


blasts kept the station exactly where it should be. Thus, when the planet was in opposition and at its farthest from Jupiter, the station was at its closest, a half-way house for the refueling of Jupiter-bound ships from Earth and Mars. Supplies and other relief could reach the colonies once each year instead of once each two years.

A:

Kurd Laßwitz' novel "Auf zwei Planeten" published in 1898 has a space station in a geo-stationary orbit (over the north pole, which I think is not actually possible). The book also features a xerox-like procedure to make quick copies, wide-scale use of solar power ("why waste your fortune when you can live happily off the interest collected") and synthetic foodstuffs.
The two planets referred to in the title are Earth and Mars;In the trucking world, owning your own truck is a big deal.
Drivers at most companies are required to drive at least one year before they are qualified to get their own truck due to the responsibilities it entails.

Every year, a nonprofit organization made up of local, state, and federal motor carrier safety officials from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), conducts roadside checks of semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles.

Tasked with moving nuclear weapons and their parts between military bases and weapons facilities located around the country, including Texas, the trucks within the Office of Secure Transportation cover about 3 million miles each year.

Although semis account for just eight percent of all highway miles driven by vehicles, they were responsible for 30 percent of
