Confidentiality

To avoid disappointing players, all aspects of the PSO selection process must be kept confidential. Coaches should not discuss ratings or who was selected as a player for any team until AFTER the regular season ends on November 10. The Head Coaches will then notify families that their players have been invited to play on the PSO team. This process may take several days to complete.

How long does the PSO commitment last?

Practices begin in November once the regular season ends. Typically only a few practices are possible in the weeks between the regular season and the tournament. The PSO tournament is a two-day event, with games played on Friday and Saturday immediately following Thanksgiving Day. Teams willNanjing – Video with Nile

The brush rabbit (Sylvilagus bachmani), or western brush rabbit, is a species of cottontail rabbit found in western coastal regions of North America, from the Columbia River in Oregon to the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Its range extends as far east as the eastern sides of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges.(TNS) — One of the world's largest train operators says that its proposal of a passenger rail network that includes the Interstate 35 corridor would be a better fit for Texas than the $15 billion Dallas-to-Houston bullet train that's on the table.

"Look at the state as a whole. Instead of creating a link, create a network," said SNCF America president Alain Leray, who is visiting Dallas, Austin and Waco this week on the heels of filing his company's eight-pages of commentary on the Federal Draft Environmental Statement for the Dallas-to-Houston line.

Maryland-based SNCF America, a branch of the French National Railway, pitched its "Texas T-bone" idea to the Federal Railroad Administration in 2008 and 2016. The plan calls for "higher speed rail" service of 125 mph.

The railroad administration has


instead proceeded to work with Texas Central Partners on a Dallas-to-Houston bullet line featuring speeds up to 210 mph and using Japanese technology.

"Of course, SNCF, the state-owned and highly-subsidized French National Railway would declare they are against competition and block the world's best high-speed train technology from coming to the U.S.," Texas Central said in a prepared statement.

SNCF concedes that the Shinkansen bullet trains in the Texas Central plan are safe, comfortable and reliable. However, they and others say the technology is not compatible with that currently in use in the U.S.

If Texas Central Partners is first on the ground in the U.S., SNCF officials feel it may be game over for their firm and any other competition.

Currently, federal regulations do not address equipment requirements for train speedsMatrimony's Speed Limit

Matrimony's Speed Limit is a 1913 silent comedy short film produced and directed by pioneering female film maker Alice Guy-Blaché. It was produced by Solax Studios when it and many other early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based in Fort Lee, New Jersey at the beginning of the 20th century.

The story concerns a young man (Fraunie Fraunholz) who refuses to accept financial assistance from his wealthy girlfriend (Marian Swayne) in favor of earning his own fortune on the stock market. She concocts a plan to convince him that he will collect an inheritance from a wealthy aunt if he marries before noon. While he desperately proposes to every female he meets, she is trying to reach him before he finds a girl

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – San Diego Comic-Con took a somber turn late Friday when History’s Vikings staged a first for the massive pop culture confab: a funeral.

The marketing stunt came after the drama parted ways with leading man Travis Fimmel as his Ragnar Lothbrok was killed off in season four, with Friday’s traditional Viking funeral offering die-hard viewers a chance to say a proper goodbye to the former king of Kattegatwas out in full force, with many in cosplay as various characters, showing off their unique body art and trumpeting their Viking blowing horns as they paid their respects to the character. Finally, when the time came, the crowd was led in a chant that sent Ragnar off to Valhalla once and for all and the ship erupted in flames.

The flames raged on while the audience cheered. For Alex Hogh Andersen, who joined in season four as Ragnar’s son Ivar the Boneless, it was the perfect end to his first Comic-Con experience.

Daniel Ricciardo has opened up on the contract dilemmas ahead of the "most important" decision of his career, admitting "there's a lot at stake" as he ponders his Red Bull future.

The Australian only has a year remaining on his current deal with the team who have supported his entire Formula 1 journey, and is set to enter 2018 as one of the quickest and most sought-after 'free agents' on the grid.

The Australian is regarded as one of the best overtakers in F1 and his fifth-place finish in the Drivers’ Championship this year has come in spite of a string of mechanical retirements.

But the 29-year-old has refused to rush into any decision over his contract, citing Hamilton as the example he would like to follow.

“The next deal will takeA seven-man military jury reached a verdict Tuesday in the court-martial for Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher, finding him not guilty of murdering a wounded war prisoner in Iraq.

Gallagher was charged with premeditated murder of a male ISIS detainee by stabbing, obstruction of justice by attempting to discourage members of his platoon from reporting his actions, attempted premeditated murder of a noncombatants by shooting, retaliation against members of his platoon for reporting his criminal actions, wrongful willful discharge of a firearm in circumstances to endanger human life, and wrongful posing for an unofficial picture with a human casualty.

He was found not guilty on all charges except wrongful posing for an unofficial picture with a human casualty.

“The jury found him not guilty of the murder, not guilty of the


And to see somebody of that kind of caliber and character and integrity be accused of such offenses and then be relegated to public scrutiny as such without actually knowing the truth – it was a very emotional thing.”

The panel weighed whether Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, a 19-year veteran on his eighth deployment, went off the rails and fatally stabbed the war prisoner on May 3, 2017, as a kind of trophy kill, or was the victim of allegations fabricated after the platoon returned to San Diego to stop him from getting a Silver Star and being promoted.

Gallagher, 40, pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder in connection to the alleged war crimes.

Chief Eddie Gallagher arriving with his wife for closing statements in his suspected warState militant in the neck but stunned the court when he said he was the one who ultimately killed the prisoner by plugging his breathing tube with his thumb as an act of mercy.

Scott told the court he thought the fighter would survive Gallagher's stabbing and wanted to spare him being tortured by Iraqi forces, so he plugged his breathing tube. He never mentioned the asphyxiation before because prosecutors never asked him the cause of death.

He may now face perjury charges.

Seven SEALs said Gallagher unexpectedly stabbed the prisoner moments after he and the other medics treated the detainee. Two, including Scott, testified they saw Gallagher plunge his knife into the prisoner's neck.

The jury saw text messages sent by Gallagher that read, "Got him with my hunting knife," along


with the photo he took with the dead fighter during a reenlistment ceremony.

Gallagher's defense has not argued whether the picture was taken. His attorney said it was proabably taken in poor taste, but that it isn't evidence of a murder.

They have also argued that SEALs conjured false accusations against Gallagher because he was tough on them. Parlatore repeated a line from opening statements during closings on Monday: "This is case is not about murder, it's about mutiny."

The final witness testified under immunity on June 28. Lieutenant Commander Robert Briesch, a 10-year friend of Gallagher's, said a captain who had a personal issue with the chief made the original complaint that launched the criminal investigation.

On June 27, an Iraqi general who fought alongside Gallagher's platoon in Iraq testified thathe was there from the moment the fighter was taken captive to the moment he died, but did not see Gallagher stab him.

The general testified he was in the room with Gallagher and the other Navy SEALs who were giving the fighter medical treatment and never saw Gallagher stab the soldier in the neck.

Gallagher, whose case has drawn President Donald Trump's attention, faced seven counts that include premeditated murder and attempted murder. He was also accused of shooting two civilians — an elderly man and a school-age girl — from sniper perches in Iraq in 2017.

Under the military justice system, the prosecution needs two-thirds of the jury, or in this case five jurors, to agree to a guilty verdict to convict. Jurors can also convict him of lesser

He was found not guilty, but guilty for a lesser offence of “wanton and furious cycling” and now faces 18 months in prison.

Worse for Alliston and following a two week nationwide deliberately orchestrated anti-cycling perjury campaign, an even more hysterical frenzy ran during trial. Some one-hundred-and-fifty articles — many salacious and deceptive — flooded through the likes of the Dail Mail, Evening Standard, Guardian, Metro, Times and Mirror. TV coverage was daily.

"I think it's ridiculous," Koenig said of the charity's long-term spending plan. "Figure out a way to disperse it. People need the money now."

However, Salvation Army leaders insist they are taking a prudent approach, based on the organization's many years of experience responding to disasters like Sandy.

The charity's ongoing Sandy work includes case management guidance, support groups for storm victims, material aid and short-term financial assistance, such as replacing lost furniture or making rent or mortgage payments.

At the Jersey Shore, the Salvation Army continues to operate drop-in Sandy assistance centers in Hazlet and Toms River. The charity also is one of the nonprofit groups collaborating to meet victims' needs through the long-term recovery groups in Monmouth and Ocean counties.

"We're providing direct services every day,"


said Brenda Beavers, the director of human services for the Salvation Army's New Jersey Division.

Maj. George Polarek, community relations and development secretary for the charity's eastern territory that covers 11 states including New Jersey, said it's true that the Salvation Army is best known for providing food, shelter, blankets and other forms of emergency relief in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.

But the charity also has a track record of remaining in affected communities for years after a disaster strikes, he said. The charity's outreach to victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks continued for 10 years, and the charity is still tapping its $400 million Hurricane Katrina fund to help with ongoing long-term recovery efforts in the Gulf states, more than eight years after that storm.

Abstract:

Antigone, the insurgent from Sophocles's Oedipus, has long been a feminist icon of defiance. This book redefines Antigone's legacy, recovering her significance and liberating it for a progressive feminism and sexual politics. It reconceptualizes the incest taboo in relation to kinship - and open up the concept of kinship to cultural change.Read more...

The present study describes changes during the period 1982 to 1992 in smoking prevalence, knowledge of the health consequences of smoking and analysis factors predicting quitting smoking among Danish adults. Data were collected by questionnaire in two independent cross-sectional studies in the western part of the County of Copenhagen. In 1982 the participation rate was 79% among 4807 randomly selected men and women aged 30, 40, 50 and 60 years. In 1992 it was 73% among 2226 randomly selected men and women of similar ages. Five years later 2987 of the participants from the study in 1982 were re-examined. From 1982 to 1992 the proportion of participants stating that smoking increases the risk of bronchitis, asthma, lung cancer, cancer of


mouth and throat, thrombosis and hypertension increased. Knowledge was independent of smoking status. In 1982 men and women with a vocational education were more knowledgeable than those who were uneducated. This difference equalized in men during the study period. During the same period, the prevalence of smoking decreased from 62% to 52% in men and from 54% to 49% in women, but the declining prevalence was found in those with a vocational education only and an existing educational difference in smoking behaviours was enhanced. The decline in smoking in Denmark in the last decade has been associated with a narrowed gender difference and widened social difference. Knowledge of the health consequences of smoking has increased independently of these changes in smoking behaviour.how the interaction proceeds. For example, the game assigns avatars quests to accomplish. The player's avatars play the heroes, while the game software directs or referees many of the outcomes.
One common characteristic of many or most RPGs is that the multiple players' avatars share a common game space and can play at the same time. Various players throughout the world connect to a network, log to the game server, and play the game simultaneously. The actions of an avatar controlled by a player can affect the actions of other avatars controlled by other players as well as the status of the game. Such multi-avatar interaction occurs when multiple players play together at the same time, i.e., the game being played is a multiplayer game.
A high degree of interactivity


in real time in RPGs is attractive to many players. However, some players may not want social interaction while nevertheless enjoying the benefit of a very dynamic virtual world. For example, it would be beneficial to provide a method and a system that allows a single player to play a game without the player having to interact with other players playing the game at the same time. However, it would be desirable if the player's avatar's actions still affect the status of the game and the status of other avatars, like in the conventional multiplayer games, even though the game being played is a single-player game from the perspective of each participant of the game.
In one exemplary illustrative non-limiting implementation, a single-player game is played where the playercontrols an avatar in a game space. The actions of the avatar affect the status of other avatars controlled by other human players and/or game characters or virtual game environment controlled by the computer, even though the player's avatar does not interact with avatars of other human players participating in the game at the same time.
In another exemplary illustrative non-limiting implementation, any massively single-playing online game (MSO) may be shared by a great plurality of players who are able to play a favorite game without the simultaneous interaction with other players playing the game at the same time, while having the capability of affecting the status of the game and of the non-player avatars of other players exactly as if they were playing a multiplayer game.

As it was well known that neither Prince nor Princess Orloff were really

considerable profit.

     colleague Baron Nothomb has called to tell me that he had a long
     conversation with Moltke yesterday fully confirming what is said
     in my despatch. Moltke added that, much as he hated war, he did

British Foreign Policy.

Lord Salisbury's circular of April 1, 1878, was intended to show that
the Treaty of San Stefano threatened the interests of Europe, and
that the whole, and not parts of it, as proposed by Russia, should be
submitted to the Congress. It pointed out that the creation of a big
Bulgaria, stretching over the greater part of the Balkan Peninsula,
and with ports on the Black Sea and the AEgean, would give Russia a
predominant influence; that the proposed annexations in Asia Minor would
give Russia control over political and commercial conditions in that
region, and that the exaction of an indemnity which it was impossible
for Turkey to provide, would enable Russia either to exact further
cessions of territory or to impose any other conditions which might be
thought advisable. The logic  Turkish territory. They have loudly and constantly asserted that
     no military action is to be expected on their part. In Europe we
     can meet the consequences of that desertion by the help of Austria,
     Greece, the Rhodope mountaineers and others. But in Asia we are
     abandoned wholly to ourselves. The French have left us to face and
     guard against the consequences of that Russian encroachment which
     they undertook to join with us in resisting. Does it lie in their
     mouth, if we say that such encroachments, if persisted in, require
     special precautions? that we


sketched, although he mentioned M. Challemel Lacour--as a man who
would not do. In spite, however, of M. Challemel Lacour being in M.
de Freycinet's opinion a man 'who would not do,' it was evident that
he had a powerful backing, for an emissary from the French Foreign
Office shortly made his appearance at the Embassy and intimated in
so many words that the appointment of M. Challemel Lacour would be
agreeable to Gambetta. That no doubt was a considerable advantage, but
M. Challemel Lacour by no means corresponded to M. de Freycinet's ideal
representative, being a man of unconciliatory character and particularly
notorious on account of a speech which he had once made, in which,
alluding to political opponents, he had used the words _Fusillez moi ces
gens la!_ an expression which was continually being quoted against him.
Ineither by withholding the tribute or by any other step to weaken
the connexion of Egypt with the Porte, for the French Government had
taken elaborate pains to show that in dealing with Tunis it was dealing
with an independent Power. This contention had naturally been resisted
by the Porte, and there was little difficulty in proving that suzerainty
had been effectually established by a Firman of 1871. But the Sultan of
Turkey, who in the past had enjoyed the possession of more suzerainties
than any other potentate, had seldom derived anything but embarrassment
from this particular attribute, and in the case of Tunis it proved
to be singularly inconvenient. Encountering no opposition from other
Powers, the French flouted the claims of Abdul Hamid, and in order to
signify their new position, announced that the French representative
would thenceforth take


similar position, to be
menaced with a similar fate: besides which, Italy had already marked
Tripoli down as her own prey. Accordingly the French Government were
informed that 'in view of the unquestioned incorporation of Tripoli in
the Turkish Empire, as well as its proximity to Egypt, Her Majesty's
Government could not regard interference of whatever description on
the part of the French Government in that province in the same manner
as they viewed the recent occurrences at Tunis. That Her Majesty's
Government should take this view of the question of Tripoli cannot, they
feel assured, be a source of surprise to that of France, since they
have, on all occasions when the question of the extension of French
influence in the direction of Egypt has been under discussion, been
perfectly frank in their explanations with the French Government onweight beside himself. Gambetta
took the Foreign Office as well as the Presidency of the Council, and
on the principle that _il vaut toujours mieux avoir affaire a Dieu qu'a
ses anges_, this was an advantage, although it was believed that he
entertained so great an admiration for Bismarck, that, following the
latter's example, he would probably hand over the foreign diplomatist to
an under secretary. The first impressions produced by the new Ministry
were not favourable.

   might perhaps have the support afforded by the presence of an
     Anglo-French squadron, or an International squadron. In either
     case, would the squadron be provided with men to be landed in
     case of need, and would the Commission be authorized to call for
     the assistance and protection of a force to be put on shore? If
     this were so, it might be merely a small beginning which might
     ultimately render intervention in arms on a larger scale inevitable.

     On the other hand, if the presence of the squadron were to
     be merely a no doubt lies in this; but I suppose that with Gambetta the wish
     is father to the thought. On the one hand, in face of the present
     unpopularity of the Tunis expedition, it would be very awkward for
     him to have to send another French force to Africa at the present
     moment. But, on the other hand, he could not confront the mass of
     enraged bondholders if he abandoned their interests; and public

 pleasant enough,
     but he has the reputation of being irritable and cross-grained.

     The proceedings against the Princes are bad enough in
     themselves, and they are of evil augury. The Reds having once
     tasted blood, may become ravenous for more, and who can say where
     they may look for the next victims?

     Notwithstanding the critical state of home affairs, the
     French papers find room occasionally for bitter articles against
     us about Egypt. The great point to attend to, in order to prevent
     the smouldering irritations bursting into a blaze, seems to be to


only to ratify what had already
     been settled. Does this afford an opening for purely financial
     negotiations, and admit of dropping the French political proposals
     which appear to be so unpopular in England? I believe Jules Ferry
     is in some tribulation about the difficulties his proposals have
     met with in England, and is half inclined to be sorry he made them
     so strong, though I doubt whether Waddington has made him fully
     aware of the violence of the opposition they encounter in England.

     Generally speaking, I am very unhappy about the growing
    this, though possible, is not so probable as Hartington thinks.

     The M.P.'s neither desire a Salisbury administration; still
     less a dissolution.

     But how will our relations be, if we previously break off
     with France? and what can you suggest for the settlement of the
     financial difficulties of Egypt, if we obtain no sanction for a
     change of the Law of Liquidation?

     Do you think that the House of Commons would allow us to take
     the whole debt upon ourselves, in order to save the bondholders? I
     should be really grateful for your


Afghanistan. They think that the ultimate
     object at which she is really aiming is to extend her possessions
     to the Persian Gulf, and that she would be tractable enough about
     the Afghan frontier, if that question were separated from military
     honour, or rather vanity.

     I met Freycinet and Herbette at dinner yesterday. They seemed
     to be much relieved at having got rid of the _Bosphore Egyptien_
     difficulty, and to be really much obliged to you for the help you
     had given to them.

The _Bosphore Egyptien_, a French newspaper in Cairo which continually
attacked the British administration in  efficiency, and lest, in an emergency calling for much labour,
     I may break down altogether. This being the case, it would
     undoubtedly be a great relief and comfort to me to retire on
     becoming superannuated towards the end of next month.

     Begging you to take the misgivings into full consideration,
     and to be sure that they have not been conceived without good
     reason, and that they are strongly and very seriously felt by
     me, I place myself in your hands. If after giving full weight to

the statesman who amongst living Englishmen is the most competent to

his memory will ever be held in affectionate remembrance.

LORD LYONS IN PRIVATE LIFE.

BY MRS. WILFRID WARD.

It is not uncommon to find a seeming contradiction between the official
and the private characters of the same individual. Extreme reserve, for
instance, evenit as he had. I remember once helping him to escape
with, for him, astonishing speed across the garden of a country house,
when a very agreeable woman, whom I believe he really liked, had come
to call; he was as full of glee as if he were a boy running away from a
school-master.

I don't think that in Paris he ever gave way to such impulses; they were
the relaxation of a shy nature in the holidays.

To return for one moment to Paris. He occasionally gave a big official
dinner which I don't think he at all enjoyed, and of which we knew
nothing. But he certainly enjoyed small gatherings, especially if they
included old friends who were passing through Paris, although not one
word of ordinary sentiment would


be the most suitable. It was about
ten days before my marriage in November, 1887, that I first heard of
his intentions. I learnt it in a fashion very characteristic of him. I
was not staying in the house, but I had been dining with him when he
remarked casually: 'Really, my austerities are becoming alarming. I have
given up soup for dinner and jam for breakfast.' This struck me as a
novel proceeding, as I knew his fondness for jam and that the ordinary
routine of dinner beginning with a clear soup was a fixed ceremonial
with him. That night I questioned my aunt, who told me that he had been
for some weeks preparing to join the Church. It was at this time that
he said to one of the family: 'I am now ready to  in Egypt, ii. 189, 238, 261, 278;

of time in the previous
history of mankind. It was his lot, moreover, to wield considerable
influence over the course of affairs, inasmuch as his public service,
extending over fifty years, caused him to be employed in a succession
of highly responsible, and even critical, situations. British Minister
at Madrid at the outbreak and during the course of the Carlist Civil
War from 1833 to 1839, he was admitted into Lord Melbourne's Cabinet
immediately upon returning to England in the latter year. He was Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland throughout the memorable famine years, 1847-1852.
Relieved of that arduous post, Lord Clarendon entered Lord Aberdeen's

through the Crimean War, and became responsible for the terms of the

LOCKPORT – A judge ordered a mental competency examination Thursday for a man accused of killing his girlfriend with a sledgehammer and a knife in the victim’s North Tonawanda home.

State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. said he was acting on his own to order the exam for Brian C. Lowry, 32, of Ypsilanti, Mich. He is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Heather M. Rylowicz, 34, of Lincoln Avenue. Her decomposing body was found Nov. 21, but prosecutors say she might have been killed as far back as Nov. 2.

Lowry, who had started a relationship with the woman last summer, was arrested Nov. 24.

Kloch said he encountered some opposition to the competency exam from attorneys in the


There are very few places across the globe where the parents do not have to drag their young adult children to the place of worship. The scenario is similar in Ghana and in Chad but the religious dominance in the two countries is different. In the African nations, the young adults identify with their faith then that of their elders.

According to the study revealed by the Pew Research Center, it has been revealed that the younger people over the world are less religious than the elders. After surveying 106 nations it is clear that the young adults are shifting from the faith commitments of the elders. In the economically developed countries the gap appears to be the widest. The average gap is quite small but in many countries,there exists a huge gap.

Canada is leading the charts with a 28% difference between younger and older people on the grounds whether they affiliate with a particular religion. Denmark, South Korea, Australia and Norway are the close flowers on the list. In the United States, The younger adults in the age group 18-39 are 17 percent less likely to claim their affiliation to a religion than the adults who are aged above 40.

The study also had examined the importance of religion in the lives of people, weekly worship attendance and daily prayer and the results were surprising. In Africa, Middle East, Latin America and South Asia, the gap between the young and the old are quite narrow. In Lebanon, a 20 percent point difference was observed in the


opinion of the young and the old when they were asked whether religion was very important in their lives.

A large number of interesting theories came up after the survey. It was observed that educational opportunities led to lower religious adherence.SEC warns of interruptions during solar park installation

Saba Electric Company (SEC) NV has informed its customers that there is a possibility of island-wide interruptions in the supply of electricity during the two-week period between Monday, February 12, and Friday, February 23, as the company is in the process of finalising its first solar park installation.

The final phase includes the commissioning and acceptance testing, which may cause interruptions, SEC management stated in a public notice.

The first solar park, located near Juancho Yrausquin Airport, will reduce Saba’s dependency on fossil fuels, marking a “huge milestone in Saba’s goal to move towards renewable energy and energy independence,” according to SEC.

The utility company apologised for any inconvenience caused by the interruptions.


An exchange is a central marketplace with established rules and regulations where buyers and sellers meet to trade. Some exchanges, referred to as open outcry exchanges, operate using a trading floor where buyers and sellers physically meet on the floor to trade. Other exchanges, referred to as electronic exchanges, operate by an electronic or telecommunications network instead of a trading floor to facilitate trading in an efficient, versatile, and functional manner. Electronic exchanges have made it possible for an increasing number of people to actively participate in a market at any given time. The increase in the number of potential market participants has advantageously led to, among other things, a more competitive market and greater liquidity.

Amazon’s Bezos: Still Crazy After All These Years

Amazon is a company built on a mad premise which was followed by a number of more crazy ideas that were bolted onto the company as time passed. The most outrageous part of the entire enterprise is that it worked. Selling books online, competing with bookstores, managing huge inventories. Shipping product all over the world.

But, the company did the improbable up against companies like Barnes & Noble, and more recently Wal-Mart and NetFlix (DVDs), Best Buy (computers and consumer electronics), Kroger and Safeway (food), and almost anyone who sells anything anywhere. The company has even started a movie download busness. In this business it gets to compete with Apple, Disney, and Movielink.

Amazon's audacity comes from its founder


Jeff Bezos. He is the only person to have ever run the company. Bezos is chairman. He is president. He is CEO. The next person on the ladder is a senior vice president. Who probably makes no decisions. It is the world according to Bezos.

Amazon's stock has gone through periods when it was as hated as any public company in America. It's shares were at $61 in 1998. Bezos made the cover of Time. By 2003, the stock traded at $16.

At most companies, Bezos would be taken away in a straight-jacket. But, the place is basically his, no matter what the other shareholders think.

His audacity and willingness to take on any competitor, not matter how large, with his online model, has earned him a company with sales movingincluding an unusually structured haemoglobin to allow it to function at low oxygen levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions.

Emperor Penguin (music)

Emperor Penguin is a Chicago-based electronic music duo consisting of DJ Lazlo Minimart and keyboardist Melvoin Stanke. Their sound combines samples, old-fashioned synths, found sounds and electro-funk. In 1999, they released their debut album, Shatter the Illusion of Integrity, Yeah. A second full-length album, Extreme Gaming, followed later that year. They asked their fans to vote on their label's website to determine the title of their third album which was released in 2000 as Mysterious Pony. In 2001, they put out the four-song EP, which featured bassist/guitarist Jack Flapjack, keyboardist Nord 2000 and drummer Ferrari


on two tracks.

Publication history

Fictional character biography

Some time ago, Ignatius Ogilvy's parents had been murdered outside the Monarch Theater, not unlike that of a familiar wealthy billionaire known as Bruce Wayne. His father Ed Ogilvy had been a small-time crook some time ago. He had been loyal to his employers, but was murdered in the process of a business negotiation. After his father's death, Ignatius worked his way to becoming one of the Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot)'s top lieutenants and eventually his right hand man. While his father had never rocked the boat, Ignatius had seen how that worked out for him and decided to own the boat.

Ignatius Ogilvy was a young boy when he joined the Penguin's gang. He started off as a runner and a watchman. Ignatius firstencountered Batman during an operation for the Penguin. Batman beat Ignatius' entire crew. Seeing the boy terrified in the corner, Batman walked over to Ignatius and threatened him to stay out of trouble. Obviously, the boy did not comply. Ignatius stayed with the Penguin going up in ranks after many operations. During one of those experiences, Ogilvy fought Batman as a normal henchman and took three batarangs to his left arm leaving a deep scar. After many more missions, Ignatius became one of the Penguin's right-hand men. Before long, Ogilvy became Cobblepot's favorite. The Penguin sent Ignatius on a mission by himself to collect data from a bank with a new recruit. While Ignatius got the data, the new recruit raided the bank's vault trying to impress the


levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions.

Brendan Rodgers insists he is in no doubt Dejan Lovren will prove exactly why Liverpool were so keen to secure his services last summer as he continues to adapt to life at Anfield.

The centre-back was an August recruit from Southampton and has made 22 appearances so far this season.

However, a groin injury has meant Lovren has not started a game since December 17 at Bournemouth, though he did play a part in the Reds' latest outing as a half-time substitute in Saturday's 1-0 win over Sunderland in the north east.

Now back to fitness, Rodgers is convinced Lovren will demonstrate his worth to the Liverpool cause.

"Dejan will prove in his time here he is a very, very good player," said the boss.

"It's never easy and we've seen it overmany years at the big clubs, players that come in - some will settle in straight away and some will take that little bit of time.

"For a defender - a central defender - he's still very, very young.

"He in his time here will prove to be an outstanding player. He's a good guy and whether he starts on the field or comes off the bench, he'll come and do his best.

"This whole year's experience for him as a Liverpool player will benefit him. Over the coming months and years, he'll show what a top player he is."

with a priest Luigi Di Liegro, founder of Roman Caritas (a catolic institution
to help poor people). (still according to the witness) Majorana was a
homeless, he was hosted in a monastery. "I was one among the closer assistants
of Luidi di Liegro and with him we met Majorana probably the 17 March 1981. It
was not the only time, I met him in three-four occasions. " This witness is a
"director programmer"(??) from Calabria, he lived in Rome when he was young,
but he wants to remain anonymous. "Majorana was in Pilotta Square, on the
Università Gregoriana's stair, near Fontana di Trevi. He looked like more than

Majorana back home. "After one hour and half he came back and said to me: 'you
know who that man is? He is the physicist Ettore Majorana, the one missing. I
phoned the monastery where he was hosted and they told me he left. Now I
brought him back.'" The director of the monastery said "Majorana had the
feeling his studies could precede the atomic bomb and he had a conscience

If getting scared of seeing the horrifying face of Valak is enough to satisfy the viewer in you, then The Nun of the conjuring franchise might well be your cup of tea. After the highly successful Conjuring from James Wan, most of the films in the franchise tended to have a repeating nature and for me personally, those movies started to feel like a series of scares. With The Nun, the burn out is more evident and I feel that the franchise needs to work on reinventing itself.

In 1952 an abbey in Romania witnesses the death of two Nuns and the circumstances were so mysterious that the Vatican decides to send a priest named Burke and a novitiate sister Irene to the place to identify the reason


behind the unusual things happening there. The two along with a local guy named Maurice decides to go there and The Nun is ultimately about how they all survive the days there.

The Conjuring franchise has capitalized on the success of the first film’s victory at the box office with the sequels that weren’t as genuine as the first one. Now the question is whether this franchise needs to have introspection. Every cliché is fresh when it was used for the first time and thus there was a making uniqueness that sort of broke the typical mold which made Conjuring a special one. The Nun is the fifth installment in the series and by the looks of it, I can really sense the writers clearly not investing in beingArt(ology) is an eclectic, fine arts gallery located in the heart of the Mobile Arts District on Cathedral Square.

Last month, a Vermont lawmaker introduced a bill to give his state a Latin motto ("Stella quarta decima fulgeat") in addition to its official one, the suggestion of a middle school student studying the ancient language. Pretty cute, right?

It was, at least, until a local news station asked its viewers what they thought about the proposal, asking on Facebook, "Should Vermont have an official Latin motto?" You can probably guess what happened next:

The bill's sponsor, Republican State Senator Joe Benning, admitted he was surprised by the impressively dumb and loud reaction.

"I anticipated suffering the backroom internal joking from my colleagues in the legislature," Benning told the Vermont Political Observer. "What I did not anticipate was the vitriolic verbal assault from those who don't know the difference between theMadeira back in the mid-1880’s.

Madeira is a small mountainous island in the Atlantic. Its location is southwest of Portugal and close to the coast of North Africa.

The climate in Madeira is tropical and heavily forested. At a point, it was known for its thriving timber industry. The island also has a rich history of making furniture.

In fact, Madeira means “wood” in Portuguese.

Moreso, Madeira is known for producing grapes and winemaking. Wine originally became popular back in the 16th century because it wouldn’t go rancid during long sea voyages. We’re sure the warm, fuzzy feeling people got when they drank it didn’t have anything to do with Madeira’s bustling wine industries.

Music in Funchal

Madeira was a sought after tourist spot for people traveling for Europe. They loved its exotic plants,


beautiful landscapes, and unique music culture.

Funchal was a bustling port city in Madeira where tourists would travel to watch street performers play their music. Because of the hot, muggy climate, the houses on the island weren’t built with encased windows. So, even the locals would get to constantly hear the music during the day and night.

Local musicians in Funchal played waltzes, mazurkas, and folk songs on Spanish guitars and a smaller, yet similar instrument. The instrument had four strings and was known by quite a few names.

The most common name was a machete. People also called it the braguinha, or the machete de Braga, which pays homage to the city in northern Portugal where the little instrument originated.

Madeira’s Economic Decline

By the mid-1880’s Madeira was no longer a fun,clipper ship, SS Ravenscrag in August of 1879. It took four months of ocean travel to cover the 12,000 miles from their home island.

One of the passengers, Joao Fernandes began to play music from a machete to celebrate at the time of the ship’s arrival in Honolulu.

Not long after their entry, the following was published in the Hawaiian Gazette: “…Madeira Islanders recently arrived here have been delighting the people with nightly street concerts. The [m]usicians are fine performers on their strange instruments, which are kind of a cross between a guitar and a banjo, but which produce very sweet music in the hands of the Portuguese minstrels.”

Hawaiian locals were fascinated by the machete and the immigrants who’d introduced them to it.

translates to farewell to thee.

The song is a valuable and sacred part of Hawaii’s history. The queen wrote the song prior to ascending the throne after her brother.

According to researcher Leslie Ann Hayashi’s book “Aloha Oe: The Song Heard Around the World,” the song was written about James Aalapuna Harbottle Boyd. He was a military official who served the Kalakaua family.

She was riding horseback one afternoon in the Koolau Mountains when the inspiration for the song came to her. Some say that Queen Lili’uokalani wrote the song after having been betrayed by an affair between Boyd and her sister, Princess Likelike. But that’s just one of many stories.

The mele (which means song in Hawaiian) has since been covered by numerous artists, including Johnny Cash.

Alwar, Rajasthan: Munfed Khan was admitted to a hospital in Alwar's Shahjahapur area

An alleged cow smuggler was beaten up by a mob in Shahjahapur area of Rajasthan's Alwar district, the police said on Monday.

On a tip off that cows were being smuggled in two jeeps, police had put up barricades on Sunday night.

While one of the jeeps managed to dodge police teams, a group of villagers managed to stop another jeep carrying 6-7 cows in Fusa ki Dhani village where they thrashed one of the suspected smuggler, police said.

"Khan holds a criminal record of smuggling cows. 6-7 bovines were recovered and taken to a cow shelter. A cross FIR has been registered in the matter and the case is being further investigated," a police official said.

The exposure of a benthic community to NP and MP for 15 months led to a lower total abundance of macroinvertebrates, which was correlated with a lower number of Naididae worms. The number of Naididae found in trays after 3 months was low, probably due to a low colonization of the systems, and did not significantly differ among concentrations. In contrast, after 15 months of exposure, which included the growth season and was five time longer, the number of Naididae significantly increased in all treatments, except for the highest MP concentration (5%), where the number of Naididae was significantly lower in comparison to lower concentrations. Next to the overall pattern in macroinvertebrate and Naididae abundances, individual differences were also


The membrane may be an important factor in browning of fresh-cut pear.
Surface browning is an important cause of deterioration of fresh-cut fruit during postharvest handling. In this paper, four pear cultivars with different extents of natural browning were selected to analyse the factors involved in browning. The main results are as follows: the lipoxygenase (LOX) activity of 'Mantianhong' and 'Yali' pears was higher accompanied by a stronger degree of browning, while the LOX activity in 'Xueqing' and 'Xinli 7' pears was lower, with less browning. A higher unsaturated fatty acid ratio of pear resulted in reduced browning. The cell membranes disappeared 30min after being cut in 'Mantianhong' pear, which browns easily; however, the cell membranes were still intact 30min after being cut in 'Xueqing' pear, which does notKansas ethanol plant about ready

About 100 workers are busy at a Kansas ethanol plant putting on the final touches, but work is almost complete after more than 400,000 man-hours of labor. At the peak, more than 250 people were working on the plant.

About 100 workers are busy at an ethanol plant putting on the final touches, but work is almost complete after more than 400,000 man-hours of labor. At the peak, more than 250 people were working on the plant.

"We're at 98 percent complete," said Frank Moore, vice president of plant operations. "We'll start processing the third week in September."

Welding, painting, connecting, adjusting controls is happening all across the plant. The lab equipment for ethanol quality control


will be the last equipment brought in and set in place.

Each piece of equipment, each structure, each element is state-of-the-art and together will make the best facility possible.

"I feel the facility is the highest quality," Moore said.

Area residents have watched the plant slowly take shape over the past months and dominate the skyline. The circle railroad line will be used to bring in grain for the facility and to ship out ethanol. Trucks will also haul in grain and haul out miller's grain for feedlots and the newly processed ethanol. The tracks can hold 165 ethanol cars leased to the plant.

The plant will employ 38 people when fully operational, but some of the leadership has been in place for four months, said Dr. Pat Barker, Orion Ethanol executiveto collect CO2 for resale.

It took two years from having the finances in place to producing ethanol. The plant has had positive support from the community and the city and county commissioners as the financing was gathered and put into place, Barker said.

"There was a huge commitment from the community," Barker said.

The team is anxious to see the impact the plant has on the community. The plant should produce $200 million in revenue, and that money will recycle in the community.

"Now that's added value in Pratt County," Barker said. "If only half of that turns over seven times in the county, what a difference that will make."

The plant has the capability to expand and double its size to produce 110 million gallon a year.

Juwan Morgan* (A-) He was an absolute force on the floor, and showed why he is too valuable to get in foul trouble. Chris Collins admitted they were trying to do just that early, and who could blame him? He has double doubles in three of his last four games. He has become an exceptional passer, but did have four turnovers, including at least one questionable offensive foul on a screen.

Justin Smith* (C+) Miller gave him credit for his play down the stretch when Morgan went down, saying “He was good. He stepped up in the last four minutes when we needed him.” But Smith continues to be an enigma, with uninspiring rebounding numbers and struggles taking care of the ball and finishing at the rim. The struggles appear to be in part due to the lack of an effective left hand.

When a referee's clerical error gave a suspension to a backup rather than one of the team's star players just days before the most important game of the year, the coaching staff of St. Thomas More's senior boys soccer team had a choice.

They could let someone know a mistake had been made. Or they could take advantage of the situation and seize the loophole.

Sadly, they chose door No. 2.

It was late in stoppage time during the Catholic championship on May 19. More was leading Bishop Tonnos when in the midst of some pushing and shoving by a number of players, a fight broke out between the two goalies. Both were shown red cards on the field and sent off by the referee.

After the game, linesmen Zach Muraca andSteve Kalotinis both say, an assistant coach from More approached head referee Milan Lasica — who was standing with them — and asked him to change his ruling.

"The gist of the conversation was, instead of giving both goalies red cards, can you write it down as yellow cards?" Muraca says. "The ref said, 'Not a chance.'"

This is key because a red card in any level of soccer comes with an automatic suspension for the next game which would be the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference, the last step before the provincial OFSAA championships. And Eric Griffin is a star fifth-year keeper.

However, More had two goalies marked simply as GK on the game sheet. No numbers. When Lasica wrote the name of the expelled player, he somehow wrote the name


of the backup goalie who hadn't played one second of the game and was on the sideline while the skirmish was underway.

So when More stepped on the field to face Oakville's Holy Trinity Titans a week later with a berth in the Ontario championships on the line, the red-carded Griffin was back in net while the innocent backup served his accidental suspension. They won. Then a week later, they finished second at OFSAA.

"Our silver was the best in St. Thomas More history," head coach Sandra Moretuzzo — a teacher at the school and an experienced coach who's worked at the college level — said on the school's website.

She declined to comment for this story and referred questions to the school board. Athletics convener Joanne Condello also referred allMonday, March 5, 2018

Regardless of the name, the procedure was rare and used to protect the health of the mother in cases when the pregnancy had progressed past a certain point. Progressives and other pro-choice members of the Senate argued that the ban was an attempt to chip away at a woman's right to choose, and that the absence of an exception to protect the health of the mother virtually guaranteed the Supreme Court would strike the bill down as unconstitutional. Feinstein (D-CA) proposed a substitute bill that would ban the procedure only in cases when the woman's health was not threatened and the fetus


Even as cord-cutting has grown, the quality of television programming has reached what many believe to be an all-time high. As I write these words, it's the middle of summer, traditionally the deadest time of the year for television. And yet TV critics and viewers are frothing at the mouth over "Orange Is the New Black" and "The Bridge" and the imminent arrival of the final season of "Breaking Bad." For someone who came of age in the late '70s, the current wealth of options is almost inconceivable. There's too much to keep up with. There's a national my-DVR-is-too-full crisis!

There are many competing theories and no consensus about why TV has gotten so good. But here's my pet favorite: competition, aided and abetted by the second screen.

Since operations began in and around Mosul, the military advance in Iraq has been nothing short of a perfect storm. The battle for northern Iraq’s major city knocked over the first domino in what has developed into a humiliating year for the so-called Islamic State (Da’ish). One stronghold after another has been liberated by a resurgent Iraqi military, determined to heal the wounds of the past. The Mosul operation dragged on for months, rapidly turning into one of the bloodiest and most difficult urban warfare battles since World War ll. After the conclusion of that battle, Da’ish morale across the country evaporated. Since then, the Iraqi flag has been raised in Tal ‘Afar, Hawijah and Al-Qa’im in rapid succession.

The collapse of Da’ish forces across Iraq and in easternKurds seized their opportunity and conducted a series of land-grabs across northern and central Iraq, taking over areas abandoned by Iraqi forces. The primary focus has been and remains Da’ish but the Kurdish transgression had to be rectified with the least amount of bloodshed possible. And that is exactly what has happened.

As many predicted, the Kurdish referendum backfired spectacularly. But no one imagined that within a couple of weeks, not only would Kirkuk be back under federal control but pretty much every other disputed area in Diyala, Salahuddin and Ninawa provinces too. The Kurdish dream was crushed not by Baghdad but by the greed and ambition of the Barzani dynasty sitting comfortably in Erbil. Had it not been for their attempt to exploit the desire of the Kurdish


people for independence to buttress the power of Mas’oud Barzani, Kirkuk and its oil could have remained under their control for the foreseeable future.

Iraq now faces a host of challenges from rehousing hundreds of thousands of internally displaced civilians as an unforgiving winter looms to the financial hardships born of corruption, low oil prices and a 3-year military campaign. But the security situation must remain the main focus in order to ward off the eventual revival of the next mutant offspring of Salafi jihadism and the latent affinity of some corners of the Sunni community for absolute power in Iraq.

Western Iraq.

The province of Anbar can only be described as a tinderbox. The Sunni heartland has been seeped in violence since the early days of the occupation and notfrom Diyala and eastern Anbar that target northern and central Baghdad seem to have also been stemmed for the moment, which has contributed to the decrease in bombings.

The running battle between Iraq’s intelligence forces and Da’ish militants receives little attention but is paramount to the safety of Iraqi civilians and saves countless lives on a weekly basis. As the border with Syria is sealed up, the security situation in Baghdad and the south should noticeably improve.

The complex and coordinated terror attack in Nasiriyah in September which claimed the lives of 84 Shi’a civilians and wounded 93 more should serve as a reminder to Iraqi leaders that while the south is generally the safest part of Iraq, Da’ish still has the ability to strike deep in the heartland of

More than 200 years ago two (maybe three) Goldschmidt brothers migrated from Richterswil, Switzerland and settled in the region of Markirch (Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines), Alsace. The Goldschmidts living in Alsace, France, and Switzerland descend from these brothers. One branch of the family settled in the region of Basel, Switzerland before 1856. Fritz Goldschmidt, a member of this family, was elder of the Basel Holeestrasse and the Schänzli Mennonite congregation. Charles Goldschmidt, a nephew of Fritz Goldschmidt, was elder of the Hang congregation in Alsace. Henri Goldschmidt was a preacher in the Pfastatt congregation in Alsace. The great-grandmother of J.S. Gerig of Smithville, Ohio was Elizabeth (Goldschmidt) Gerig of Markirch. The Ohio Gerig families are, therefore, descendants of the Markirch Goldschmidts.

fourth child of Konrad Goldschmidt of Markirch, immigrated to North America in 1819. After living in Pennsylvania, Ontario and then Ohio, he moved to Iowa, where he served as a bishop of the Amish Mennonite churches in Lee and Henry counties.Why do we like this?

It's been five year since the last full band Broken Social Scene album, and it might just have been worth the wait. The new album is solid and there's more than one hit single within (the hit singles are obvious). While there is definitely some filler, I think this album deserves more than just a couple of listens. The opening song, "World Sick" is almost seven minutes long, and yet , its moments of epic musical swells, followed by quiet found sounds elements make it all worthwhile. It sets quite the stage for what's to come.There's a reason that "World Sick," "Forced to Love" and "All in All" were the first songs to leak : they carry the album. These are the songs that


repetitive hook acts as the chorus, and the rises and falls are just enough to keep things interesting. Other songs on the album are less standout, and indeed, some may call them filler.Broken Social Scene is best known for its collective approach to music making. Previous line-ups have included members from many bands. This time, BSS has whittled themselves down to a core group of six members. Of course, this is BSS, and they wouldn't be complete without cameo appearances from outside musicians -- and the number of rotating musicians still outnumbers their core group. However, it is this newfound leanness that offers more fluidity to their songs, and ultimately the album is more cohesive. There's just one auditory thread here, whereas previous BSS albums were more disjointed,in the '60s.
And it was the year

Giant guitarfish

(Rhynchobatus djiddensis)

The giant guitarfish is found in the tropical waters of the western Indian Ocean from the Red Sea to South Africa. It is a shallow-water species that inhabits marine and estuarine waters. Its body is elongated and resembles that of a shark even though it is a member of the ray family.

This guitarfish is olive green in color dorsally with a white underside. It has a triangular head and a pointed snout. Adults can reach 10 feet in length and weigh around 500 pounds. Its fins and flesh are very popular among many Asian markets.

Look for the giant guitarfish swimming around in the Ocean Voyager gallery.

Fun Facts

The giant guitarfish feeds on crabs, lobsters, small fish and squid.

Q:

Scifi short story-aliens with inscrutable thinking have taken over Earth, one alien in charge of each continent

The main character is a human who has risen to be the assistant to the alien in charge of North America because he can understand their inscrutable thinking a little better than most.
It's a mystery why the aliens have taken over Earth as they don't seem to want anything from Earth or enjoy being in charge.

A:

The story you are looking for could be All the King's Men by Barrington Bayley. It appeared in a collection of his short stories published in 1978 called The Knights of the Limits. Someone has put a reading of the story on YouTube here. It can also be read here, along with the rest of the storiesin The Knights of the Limits.
All the King's Men is different from what you describe in one or two respects. The main character is indeed a human who has risen to be the assistant of an inscrutable alien in charge of a human country, but the country is Britain, not the US. Furthermore it is not the whole Earth that has been taken over but only an apparently random selection of countries: Britain, Brazil and South Africa. The first two were conquered by different and mutually hostile groups belonging one alien species, the third simultaneously taken over by another species entirely.
However the incomprehensibility to human eyes of why only three countries should be taken over does tie into what you said about the inscrutability of the aliens and


the mystery of how they don't seem to want anything from their conquests. The main theme of the story is the gulf between alien motivations and human ones.
The main character and narrator is known only as Smith. He is now the chief human lieutenant to a seven foot humanoid but vaguely insectile alien known as the King of All Britain. Smith is conscious of how inadequate he is to fill this role compared to the recently-deceased previous chief intermediary who had a genius for explaining the two sides to each other. The King is described as having "a personality like atonal music". He seems to want to be fairly benevolent but keeps messing up because he is bewildered by how humans think. For instance as part of histaken on some of the King's apathetic melancholy.
The rebellion succeeds. Hotch, ruthlessly and in violation of the alien-imposed laws of war, launches nuclear rockets at the cities of Brazil, presumably in an effort to eradicate the aliens ruling there rather than out of any particular enmity to the human population. The Brazilians launch nuclear-armed bombers to strike Britain in retaliation.
Hotch having clearly won, the King gives up. Because he feels that in some strange way he is British, he does all he can to help Hotch reactivate the old air defence system against the Brazilian bombers. But we never find out whether these efforts succeed. Smith, the narrator, has ceased to really care. The reason for his indifference is that the King has shown him space and

Here is Charles Ashbacher's Amazon customer review of Dickson's novel Way of the Pilgrim:

This is one of the best science fiction stories ever written. Several years before the tale begins, an alien race called the Aalaag arrived on the Earth and easily take control. Their technology was so far advanced over humans that all military resistance was futile, the most advanced human technology could not even reach the level of scratching their paint. The Aalaag are also a species with a strict code of honor, and their goal is to harness the resources of Earth to build the Aalaag strength so that they can eventually reclaim their worlds. Many centuries before, an even stronger species had taken over the Aalaaghome systems, forcing them to flee out across space, looking for new places to live.
While the presence of the Aalaag has brought an end to war between humans and created a very ordered society, the Aalaag mentality is such that the humans are considered to be the equivalent of cattle. The main character, a linguist named Shane Evert, is one of the few humans capable of speaking and understanding the Aalaag language. He is a translator for the Aalaag governor of Earth, in some ways one of the highest ranking humans on Earth.
As the story begins, he witnesses an Earthman being killed by the Aalaag for an act they consider rebellion. An Aalaag youth unintentionally injured the man's wife so he attacked the Aalaag with his bare hands.


According to Aalaag law, the man must immediately be put to death by being impaled on spikes and all humans in the area forced to watch until the man is clearly dead. Evert is repulsed and draws an image of a cloaked man with a staff under the dead man. With this act, he takes the first step in becoming the pilgrim, the worldwide symbol of human resistance to the occupation.
However, he knows that any overt resistance against the Aalaag is futile, so he must find a way to fight back without overtly challenging the Aalaag. As his plan develops, he creates a worldwide network of resistors, which grows to include the covert security services of the major nations. They all cooperate to prepare for the day whenThat’s because King’s high-tech milling system is completely enclosed, according to Brian Doyle, president of the company.

Despite the size and output of King Milling — actually, now three mills together — it employs only 50 people because it is a fully automated network of steel rollers and other equipment monitored and run by a computer program. The mill does generate other jobs in the Lowell area, however, in support of it.

The first flour mill in Lowell was built in 1844 on the east bank of the Flat River where it joins the Grand River. In 1867, another mill — Superior Mill — was built on the west bank of the Flat, where King Milling is today. When Superior Mill filed for bankruptcy in 1890, it was bought by


invitation to their suite” at Fifth Third Park to watch a baseball game.

The newest mill is for white flour, with a daily maximum capacity of 5,000 hundredweight (500,000 pounds). The other two mills currently in production have capacities of 7,500 hundredweight of white flour and 4,000 hundredweight of whole wheat.

Ground broke on the new mill last November; general contractor on the project was Todd & Sargent Inc. of Ames, Iowa. The milling machinery is the latest technology designed and built by a Swiss company.

On St. Patrick’s Day this year, a contractor began pouring the concrete for the pad and walls of the new mill — which went on, truckload after truckload, for six and a half days, 24 hours a day. The Doyles estimate it was enough concretehauled in and placed around the plant.

King Milling had its own road cones, too, which came in handy during the flood. The town had been highlighted by the news media as a major target for flooding, so soon cars filled with gawkers were clogging the entrance to the plant, which is in the middle of downtown Lowell, making it difficult for loaded flour trucks to get out and trucks full of sand to get in.

The U.S. food industry — King Milling included — is awaiting a major revision of regulations from the Food & Drug Administration, the second in two years.

“Food safety is a huge issue” within the U.S. government, said Jim Doyle, and that includes safeguards against potential bioterrorism. But King Milling has been ahead of the
