Thatcher, a decedent created a charitable trust under the terms of his will. Upon learning of the trust, a number of his descendents brought suit to terminate the trust alleging "the purpose of said trust had long since wholly failed." The attorney general became involved to represent the public in the litigation, electing to retain outside counsel to work on the case. Upon a successful defense of the case, the trial court directed that the charitable trust reimburse the special assistant attorney general from the corpus of the trust.
On appeal, this Court reversed the trial court's decision, relying exclusively on cases involving charitable trust litigation. The Court noted that it was able to find only one case, from the Supreme Court of Oregon, Wemme v. First Church ofthe output terminal of the amplifier and has a plurality of second connection points to be selectively connected to the feedback input terminal of the amplifier; and

wherein each of the first and second resistors is formed by connecting a plurality of reference resistors of at least one reference length by means of interconnect lines.


Fleener, who has drawn first-round interest for his athleticism, was pegged by the anonymous scout as a "red-zone, jump-ball player."

"He's awful as a blocker," the scout said. "Despite his workout numbers he's really not a quick-twitch, dynamic-moving guy. He's a straight-line, build-up player. All these reports about him being an athlete and this and that, they're assuming that because he ran fast."

Fleener, who ran an unofficial 4.45-second 40-yard dash at the Stanford pro day, is NFL.com personnel guru Gil Brandt's 32nd-best player in this year's draft. Fleener hauled in 96 catches for 1,543 yards and 18 touchdowns in college, primarily catching passes from Andrew Luck, likely to be the top draft pick.

But another scout told the Journal Sentinel that Fleener was "a smart guy with a real goodmountable exercise system. The inventive device includes an elongate member. The elongate member has a first end and a second end. A first rod and a second rod each has an end integrally coupled to and extending away from one of the ends of the elongate member. The first and second rods each have a pair of openings therein. A first and second support bar is removably fastened to opposite sides of a doorframe. A variable weight resistance system includes cables and a plurality of biasing members. Each of the cables extends through the opening of each of the rods. The biasing members are generally resiliently elastic along a longitudinal axis. The biasing member each have a distal end and a proximal end. Each of the distal ends


is removably couplable to an end of the cables. A plurality of coupling means removably couples the proximal ends of the biasing members to the first and second rods.
In these respects, the doorframe mountable exercise system according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing an exercise system that uses a relatively small area of space.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of exercise apparatuses now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new doorframe mountable exercise system construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing an exercise system that uses a relatively small area of space.

the client saw an attorney who referred the client to Finley. The client met with Finley and Oddie Richard,[2] an attorney disbarred in 1989, working with Finley. The client executed a fee agreement in Finley's office. Most of the client's dealings with personnel at Finley's office were with Richard, and the client believed Richard and Finley were his attorneys. No one in Finley's office ever told the client that Richard was or was not an attorney. Richard had the client execute a release of information form and instructed the client to keep appointments with his doctor, and to stay in touch with Richard. Finley sent a letter requesting the client's medical records. At some point Richard told the client he had what was needed to pursue the casethe client, who authorized Finley to settle her claims and those of her daughter. Finley informed the client he would send her certain paperwork and that the claim would be settled within a few days. He received a settlement check on behalf of the client and her daughter, and deposited that check in his escrow account. Several months later one of Finley's employees called the client and told her she noticed the client had not signed a release of her claims. Thereafter, a Finley employee faxed the client a release which she executed and faxed back. The client called Finley on several occasions but he did not respond, and she heard nothing from him until she filed a grievance with the State Bar.
After Finley received the Bar's notice


of the client's grievance, he called her and said he did not know she did not receive the settlement proceeds and that someone had stolen the money that was to have been sent to her. Finley testified that when he received the settlement check he did not want to issue an escrow account check because the client was in Texas. He sent someone from his office with cash with instructions to deposit the cash and obtain a cashier's check for the client, which, apparently, never happened. After the client's grievance, and his telephone conversation with her, Finley wiretransferred the amount owed her. During the time of the events in this case, Finley did not have adequate records showing the amount of funds held for respective clients. Also, heaccount for client funds, failed to separate client funds from their own funds, and failed to keep proper records of their transactions, just to name a few problems caused by inattention to detail in the practice of law.

In addition, they fail to acquaint themselves with proper business practices in the operation of a law office.
Unfortunately, too many lawyers are unfamiliar with the many programs offered by the State Bar of Georgia to assist lawyers in the operation of a successful law office, and they fail to inquire about available programs before a crisis occurs. As a result, they often find


Vitomarci

Vitomarci () is a settlement in and the administrative centre of the Municipality of Sveti Andraž v Slovenskih Goricah in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the foothills of the Slovene Hills on the left bank of the Pesnica River. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Drava Statistical Region.

The parish church in the settlement, from which the municipality gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Andrew (sveti Andraž in the local dialect) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It dates to the early 16th century.

Category:Populated places in the Municipality of Sveti Andraž v Slovenskih GoricahDanaya is a group of seven women of the Hamdallaye district in the city of Koutiala in Mali. They know each other through the making of the local "pâte" (typically a cooked mash of grain, seeds, or nuts, formed into a ball and eaten with the fingers) called "soumbala". They average 38 years of age. They are married and the mothers of at least four children.

Working for three years with Soro Yiriwaso - a local partner from Kiva- the loans have gone from 50,000 francs CFA (US$110) for the first loan to 150,000 francs (US$330) for the fifth loan. The group members all do the same work: making and selling soumbala. In addition, they have other work, such as knitting.

The current loan will enable them to buy the


néré nuts, the base product for their soumbala, in larger quantities and at wholesale rather than retail prices. This will generate more profit. Their goal is to raise a profit of 125,000 francs CFA (US$280) for the duration of the loan. A large portion of the profits will serve to cover the school fees of the children and to cope with the typical family expenses.

In the future, the members will get their supplies from other places in Mali, especially from Gao and Kidal, which will lower the base price once more.

The women of Danaya have a 100% credit repayment history. (See their profile on Kiva)

She spoke about her plight:

"We used to live in north Mogadishu. We had a shop which was run by my husband and I had a stall in the market. We were not rich but we had enough to feed our family.

"The area got to the point where no one was safe


and looting and rape became normal. Many houses were destroyed. One night, our neighbour's house was totally destroyed and no one survived. In the blink of an eye the entire family was dead.

"Our house was partially destroyed but we escaped unhurt. That morning we decided to leave with other families and take our children to some place safe.

"The journey was long; it took more than nine days. I lost my boy and we were robbed of everything we had. The bandits took us away from the main road and into the bush. They told the men to lie down and then took the women they thought looked good and young and raped us; five other women and myself. Our husbands heard our cries but could do nothing.

The Lao National Sports Committee will renovate the national football stadium in Vientiane between April and July in preparation for use during the 25 th SEA Games next year.

The Lao Football Federation will hold the Group A football matches here as well as track and field events. It will increase the seating to accommodate about 10,000 spectators.

The federation is organising various annual football events, but they will take place in the football stadium at the National University of Laos and the federation's field.

The federation manages the football stadium, which is currently in poor condition and dirty due to the behaviour of some spectators and the untidy surroundings.

Spectators are in the habit of throwing litter on the ground after eating fruit and snacks; consequently the grounds are not fitfor international use.

The committee renovated the stadium in 2000 for the 6 th National Games. It was built in the 1930s, and has been the capital's major venue for football and other matches.

National athletics teams, sports officials and local residents jog on a synthetic track there in the evenings.

The federation's organising committee will introduce more protective measures after the renovation of the stadium next year. Some athletes and the federation's referees still use rooms there on a regular basis.

Causes of World War I Essay

The immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Frances Ferdinand of Austria Hungary in 1914. He was assassinated by Gavilo Princep, a member of the Black Hand. This minor event led to the out break of the First World War. The fuel to the fire on the other hand was militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. These were the long term effects that started the war.

Militarism is the glorification of the military. This was a romantic view of the war. Germany and Great Britain were in great competition. Both countries were increasing their naval spending.This arms race, or the build up of armies and navies, caused fear and suspicion. Germany had challenged Britain as the number one naval power. This led to a hostile relationship.

Alliances were agreements among nations to aid each other if attacked. By 1907, Europe was divided. Great Britain, France, and Russia all formed the Allies while Germany, Austria- Hungary, and Italy formed the Central Powers. As seen in Document 4, the position of Germany might have led to an early declaration of was because it was surrounded by the allied powers.

Imperialism, competition for trade and colonies, resulted in tense relationships between European nations. Britain and France formed alliances against Germany as a result of competition for colonies. Germany wanted to expand and take over Europe, as seen in


Congressional panel that included General Gavin and General Omar Bradley, expressing the view that such an Army would be racially imbalanced in enlisted ranks. Jim Graham, Washington D.C. City Councilman, was an NSA Vice President during this time.

In 1971, Margery Tabankin was elected the first woman president of the NSA.

In 1978 the NSA merged with the National Student Lobby (NSL), to form the United States Student Association (USSA).

The NSA originally housed the United States Student Press Association (USSPA), and its news agency, College Press Service (CPS). It was also American host for student Euro rail and air passes, and served as American students' representative to IATA, the International Air Transport Association.

 Wilford, Hugh. The Mighty Wurlitzer: How theWhat impact Britain’s exit from the European Union will have on Bitcoin and Fintech?

The British have always seen themselves as a bit distinct from their European cousins across the Channel.

Indeed, Britain is probably more similar to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even the United States than what lies 20 miles away in Europe.

However, the UK joined the European Economic Community on January 1, 1973 and since then has had a complicated relationship with its successor the European Union (EU). Now the British public finally gets a chance to decide for once and all if they want In or Out of the EU and the referendum for that is set to take place on Thursday, June 23, 2016.

How will this EU referendum affect Bitcoin and the wider Fintech industry

Britain as a financial hub

Britain has traditionally and historically been known for its financial services industry. The City of London is a 1.12 square mile area with a population of 7,375 people and is often referred to just as ‘The City’.

According to the City of London’s website, there is US$ 2.7 trillion worth of foreign currency exchange daily turnover or 41 per cent of the world’s global foreign currency exchange. The City alone vies as a global financial hub. It comes as no surprise then that a great deal of Bitcoin business is placed in the UK as well.

According to a report by Ernst & Young and HM Treasury, the UK Fintech sector generated £6.6 bn worth of revenue in 2015 alone.

A few minutes later, the second man eats his apple and asks the lady what to do with his apple core. Again, she replies, "Through it out the window." So he does.

Then God said, “Let the LEGOland produce vegetation: stud-bearing plates and trees on the LEGOland that bear 2x4 with stud in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The LEGOland produced vegetation: plates bearing stud according to their kinds and trees bearing 2x4 with stud in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was brickevening, and there was brickmorning—the third day.

And God said, “Let there be headlights in the vault of the bricksky to separate the brickday from the bricknight, and let them serve as signs to mark sorted times, and brickdays and brickyears, and let them be lights in the vault of the bricksky to give headlight onthe ABS.” And it was so. God made two great headlights—the greater headlight to govern the brickday and the lesser headlight to govern the bricknight. He also made the BIONICLE stars. God set them in the vault of the bricksky to give headlight on the earth, to govern the brickday and the bricknight, and to separate LEGO from other hobbies. And God saw that it was good. And there was brickevening, and there was brickmorning—the fourth day.

And God said, “Let the pellets teem with living creatures, and let gukko birds fly above the earth across the vault of the bricksky.” So God created the great creatures of the ABsea and every living thing with which the pellets teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds,


it. They will be yours for MOCing. And to all the builds of the ABS and all the gukko birds in the bricksky and all the creations that move along the brick—everything that has the breath of LEGO in it—I give every green plate for MOCing.” And it was so.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was brickevening, and there was brickmorning—the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the MOCing he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his MOCing. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating thatplay.

She was fucking outstanding! She nailed it 100% It was like she was channeling Emma Watson's acting of Hermione Granger. Absolutely remarkable, she picked up such subtle mannerisms that really embody Emma Watson's interpretation of Hermione. Amazing. Sooo many of the older actors were legions ahead of Daniel, Emma and Rupert, there was such a huge, blatantly obvious difference in their skill sets. It was frustrating, it was all I could focus on in the movie.

“When they killed Bunchy, they killed the Party – we just didn’t know it at the time.” – Roland Freeman, member of the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party

2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party by Bunchy Carter in 1968. Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter was the least known of the iconic Black Panther Party leaders in the turbulent late 1960s but was arguably the most legendary as the leader of the L.A. chapter of the Black Panther Party who was murdered in 1969 at the age of 26, only a year after founding the chapter.

The SoCal BPP was the first chapter founded outside of the Bay Area, where


the Party’s history started in Oakland, California. The Los Angeles Chapter was the most decimated chapter in the entire Black Panther Party with the murders of Party members by LAPD and agent provocateurs estimated at 10 or more for a single chapter of the Party.

With the murders of L.A. Panthers, the framing of Geronimo Pratt (Ji Jaga) along with the infamous raid and shootout at the L.A. Panther office on 41st and Central would signal the demise of Bunchy’s chapter of the Party. Many members from this chapter went underground to continue work in the struggle and some would become part of the Party’s national leadership, like Ericka Huggins, Flores Forbes and Elaine Brown, who would become the only woman leader of the Black Panther Party in itshistory before the return of exiled Huey P. Newton.

Bunchy founded the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 and by 1969 Bunchy was assassinated, along with fellow SoCal BPP leader John Huggins, by agent provocateurs within the US Organization at Campbell Hall on the campus of UCLA on Jan. 17, 1969. Bunchy Carter, John Huggins, Elaine Brown, Ericka Huggins, Geronimo Pratt and other L.A. Panthers were part of UCLA’s High Potential Program created by UCLA professor Daniel Johnson, which helped admit potential students from the inner city that did not fit the normal standard admittance process but showed high learning potential.

After Bunchy’s death, his legend continued to grow throughout Los Angeles, where, prior to joining the Black Panther Party, he was proclaimed the “Mayor of


the Ghetto” as the former head of the Renegade Slauson street gang after “graduating” from the leadership of the Little Slausons. L.A. is the city of his birth, on Oct. 12, 1942, after his parents moved to Los Angeles from Louisiana.

His consciousness had been developed early when Bunchy became a member of the Nation of Islam’s Youth Fruit of Islam (FOI) but later went to prison on an armed robbery charge from 1963 to 1967. There he met writer and future Black Panther Party Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver, who had left the Nation of Islam while in prison and tried to revive Malcolm X’s Organization of Afro American Unity, which had appeared to die with Malcolm.

RIP Bunchy Carter, Oct. 12, 1942-Jan. 17, 1969

Bunchy would remain a consciousperson until the end of his life. In the 2015-2016 NBC TV series Aquarius, Bunchy Carter was portrayed by actor Gaius as a Nation of Islam member who became a Black Panther during the counterculture turbulence in Los Angeles in the late ‘60s. After trying unsuccessfully to convince Eldridge to come back into the Nation of Islam, Bunchy listened intensely to Eldridge’s reason for leaving and, after much thought, Bunchy left the Nation of Islam.

Eldridge was paroled to the Bay Area, where he would become a writer for the anti-establishment publication Ramparts Magazine after the popularity of his book “Soul on Ice” that sent literary shockwaves throughout America. Eldridge was eventually coaxed into joining the Black Panther Party by both Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, who cofounded


the organization on Oct. 15, 1966.

Once Bunchy was off parole, he immediately visited Eldridge in the Bay Area, where he also met Eldridge’s wife Kathleen. Upon meeting Bunchy, she described him as an extraordinarily serious person with an intense sense of himself. Ericka Huggins, John Huggins widow, described Bunchy in a similar way but viewed Bunchy’s sense of self as “divine.”

After Eldridge convinced Bunchy that the Black Panther Party was the best movement for him, Bunchy returned to Los Angeles with plans of organizing the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party. Many of Bunchy’s early recruits came from his past gang connections, along with community people and some from a conscious think tank group he started called The Radicals.

Malik Ismail pays homage to Bunchy Carter andJohn Huggins at their memorial at UCLA.

The Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party was arguably the most capable chapter in the Party with its accomplishments, national leadership impact and resistance to the LAPD, FBI and CIA, who waged a war against them. With the backdrop of Los Angeles, high theatre was the constant script imposed upon these Panthers by the city’s power structure dedicated to destroy the SoCal Panthers.

An example of this theatre was when the LAPD tried to charge Geronimo Pratt for the Tate-Labianca murders, which were actually committed by the Charles Manson “Family” members who killed actress Sharon Tate, her unborn child, her four friends and the son of her gardener in August 1969. The authorities tried to link Geronimo to the crime because


was false by having an open casket to show the baby’s clearly white skin. Seburg never recovered emotionally from these FBI COINTELPRO actions and eventually took her own life.

After Geronimo’s framing by the power structure, the “Bunchy Panthers” eventually disbanded and for years Los Angeles had no “Panther” movement until B. Kwaku Duren reorganized the Southern California Chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1976 under the national leadership of Elaine Brown with dedicated members like Kato Cooks, Charles “Boko” Freeman, Shareef Abdullah, Virginia Harris, Larry Hardy, James David Barnes, Nida Day, Gregory Franklin, Michael Carter, Bobby Smith, Bobby Johnson, Larry Page and other supporters of the reorganized Southern California Black Panther Chapter in Los Angeles, which continued to serve the community until the demise of the entireBlack Panther Party in 1981.

In accordance with the historical “high drama theatre” of Los Angeles, the O.J. Simpson trial and the rebellion following the Rodney King verdict in the ‘90s shocked the nation and inspired B. Kwaku Duren along with other SoCal members Shareef Abdullah, Charles “Boko” Freeman and community activists to create a resurgent “Panther” Movement in Los Angeles with the founding of the New Panther Vanguard Movement (originally the New African American Vanguard Movement), which emerged in Los Angeles with the objective to rekindle revolutionary activism in the community.

The Vanguard’s first large scale community event was dedicated to Bunchy Carter on Oct. 15, 1994, when Bunchy Carter’s mother, Nora, was given gifts of appreciation and 1,000 bags of free food were given to families in


need. The NPVM continued serving the community of Los Angeles through survival programs with free food giveaways, Seniors against Fearful Environments (SAFE), Busing to Prisons Program, Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC), Free Basic Health Care, computer literacy programs, English as a second language program, other programs along with reissuing The Black Panther Newspaper (1995-2001) and establishing broad based coalitions nationally and internationally without much fanfare.

Its own demise came in 2002 after a suspicious fire destroyed the office for the organization, aptly named the International Panther Headquarters, which was located at 1470 West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Los Angeles, and an internal split in its ranks. But the NPVM made a great impact on the people of Los Angeles in the 1990s and early 2000s, thanksChild malaria in sub-saharan Africa: effective control and prevention require a health promotion approach.
Malaria remains a vital concern of child survival in sub-Saharan Africa despite the existence of effective curative and preventive measures. It is known that child malaria is underpinned by factors such as socioeconomic, cultural, environmental, and so forth, that must be considered simultaneously in order to effectively control it. This study applied to a rural community in Benin (West Africa) the Health Promotion concept (community participation and empowerment, contextualism, intersectorality, multistrategy, equity, and sustainability) to develop a program in order to control child malaria and close the gap of unsuccessful programs.

Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton and Gov. Matt Bevin in happier times

Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Gov. Matt Bevin, a fellow Republican and her nominal boss, that argued that his administration illegally fired two of her senior aides this year. This is the latest, but most severe, fight between the two former allies in the last year, and it comes only a few months before Bevin faces the voters in November.

Bevin picked Hampton to be his running mate back in 2015, but the two have had a bad relationship for a while. While Hampton said that she wanted to run for re-election on Bevin’s ticket this year, the governor spent months talking about finding a new number two. In late January, just before2014 – 2015

Officers: Captains John Church, Mark Eastall

Queen’s College mixed tennis team had a good year, starting very well but sadly failing to build upon early successes. The first league fixture in the premier division was against the old rivals from St Edmund Hall. A strong team consisting of experienced players such as Mark Eastall and freshers such as Will Stone wasted little time despatching Queen’s neighbours. The 8-4 score flattered the opposition and put the team in a good position to push on for league success.

However, Cuppers was the next challenge. The previous year had seen an agonizing defeat to eventual winners Worcester in the semi-finals and the team was determined to make amends. A default by the opposition gave Queen’s a walkover in the first match


their remaining rubber to complete a 6-3 victory and brought a premature end to Queen’s Cuppers campaign.

This turned out to be the last match of the term as a mixture of injury, examinations, and opposition forfeitures resulted in an early close to the league season, with Queen’s comfortably securing a place in the premier division. The Club now says farewell to key players, Rebecca Bibb and Michael Pandya. Thankfully, most of the team will be back next year, hoping to do the College justice in Cuppers and make a strong push for the trophy.Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has spoken out in defence of a church that cancelled a straight couple’s wedding because they support equal marriage.

It was reported last week that Ebenezer St John’s Church in Ballarat, Victoria had cancelled a couple’s long-standing wedding booking with just two months to go.

Church minister Steve North reportedly made the decision after seeing the bride had posted a message on Facebook in support of same-sex marriage ahead of a public vote on the issue in Australia.

Even though the couple is heterosexual North told the bride, who has many gay friends, that he would not officiate her ceremony or permit the marriage to go ahead in his church.

Pierre René-Worms, France 24 | French President Emmanuel Macron delivered remarks in front of La Madeleine church, where Johnny Hallyday's funeral was held.

France pays homage Saturday to French rock icon Johnny Hallyday, who died this week of lung cancer at 74. French President Emmanuel Macron will pay a brief tribute to the singer, who will be honoured with a procession down the Champs-Élysées.

President Macron will be among those paying tribute to the singer at his funeral at the grandiose Madeleine church in the centre of the French capital.

Known as the French Elvis, Hallyday is being honoured with a nationwide "popular homage".

The RATP transport authority temporarily changed the name of Paris's Duroc station this week to "DuRock Johnny" in his honour. The Eiffel Tower also lit upwith the message, "Merci Johnny".

Adored by young and old, hard-living Hallyday was almost a national monument, selling more than 110 million records despite being almost unknown outside the French-speaking world.

Television channels cleared their schedules this week to broadcast tribute shows to Hallyday, who first came to fame in the late 1950s yet always managed to adapt to ever-changing musical tastes.

Last goodbye for fans

Fans chanting "Johnny! Johnny!" amassed in Paris as the funeral cortège headed past his home in a Paris suburb near Versailles to Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe monument.

"The family and


friends of Johnny Hallyday and the President have agreed that as a part of the popular homage, his funeral cortège will leave from the Arc de Triomphe and go down the Champs-Élysées" before continuing to the religious ceremony at Madeleine church, a statement from the presidential palace said.

As the huge cortège paused on the Champs-Élysées, Hallyday's band members began playing his greatest hits from a specially built stage.

"All my life I listened to him morning, noon and night," said lifelong fan Claude Broos, who travelled from Belgium to watch the procession.

"Even now I can't believe that he is dead, I shed a tear," said 36-year-old Johnny Bernard, who camped overnight on the Champs-Élysées with his wife and daughter.

Somefans cried as Hallyday's body, in a white coffin, was driven down the grand ceremonial avenue towards La Madeleine. A huge portrait of the singer hung from the façade and fans – hundreds of whom had spent the night in the streets – sang his songs and did the twist to keep warm on a sunny but freezing cold morning.

The ceremony will end with a concert by Hallyday's band in front of La Madeleine, which was also the site of Chopin's funeral in 1849.

Fans mourn Johnny Hallyday: 'I can't say why I loved him – I just did'

"Because he loved France he would have loved this," Macron declared as the coffin was laid on the steps of the church before the crowd.

"He was part of us, part of


France ... its prodigal son who suffered terribly, furiously on stage for us. Johnny was ours ... because Johnny was a lot more than a singer, he was life," the president said.

Former president Nicolas Sarkozy said Hallyday "was someone who really counted in French people's lives".

"For lots of people Johnny represents the idea of happiness. He leaves a huge hole," he added.

Sarkozy is a huge Hallyday fan who tried to lure him back to France from tax exile. He officiated at Hallyday's marriage to his fifth wife Laeticia, 42, while his predecessor Jacques Chirac made him a knight of the Légion d'Honneur in 1998.

On a tous en nous quelque chose de Johnny Hallyday. Le public de fans et de fidèles qu'il s'était acquis est en larmes. Nous n'oublieronsni son nom, ni sa gueule, ni sa voix.

Yet the French establishment has not always been so warm to the flamboyant performer who, as he grew older, cultivated an air of a benign leather-clad pirate.

When he started belting out American rock more than five decades ago Hallyday was seen as a threat to a conservative France led by the stiff General Charles de Gaulle, with one radio announcer even smashing one of his records on air.

His sustained financial investment in Leicester City, awareness of the club’s emotional significance and his human touch set Vichai apart from some other overseas owners

As the awful news broke over Saturday night of the crashed helicopter in which the Leicester City owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two pilots and as yet unnamed fellow passengers had been travelling, the emotional responses of supporters illustrated how appreciated the Thai magnate had been.

Leicester mourns the man who made impossible dreams come true Read more

Flags, flowers and other offerings were laid outside the stadium sponsored by his duty free company, King Power, and tributes paid: to his stewardship of the club, personal munificence and philanthropy to good causes in Leicester. Towering over these qualities to claim fans’ admiration was, of course, the wildly unlikelyPremier League title win of 2016, which followed sustained financial investment – Vichai spent more than £100m to bankroll the club’s 2014 promotion from the Championship. That and his human and communal touch set him apart from some other overseas investors who have made themselves unpopular since buying English clubs in a burgeoning trend after the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003.

Vichai’s regular presence at Leicester matches differentiated him from many clubs’ absentee owners – and his helicopter’s regular take-off from the King Power pitch was inescapably, and now tragically, emblematic of overseas ownership. Many modern-day owners struggle with the effort, not helped by Britain’s strained train system and clogged roads, to get to their clubs, which were previously run by local businessmen who drove short


distances from their homes to designated spaces at the ground.

Leicester City are as representative of this football evolution, from earnest Victorian beginnings to overseas billionaire ownership, as any of the other clubs bought by investors in modern times. Their formation in 1884 was agreed at a meeting in a garden shed behind a house on Fosse Road, by young men who had been at Wyggeston School together and attended bible classes at the nearby Emanuel Chapel. Like most clubs, Leicester Fosse could not sustain that character as an extension of church and school old-boy associations, as football surged in popularity and moved rapidly into professionalism. Three years after being elected to theFootball League’s relatively new Second Division in 1894, the club fell into a financial crisis and was rescued after a meeting in the Temperance Hall, Granby Street, by an injection of money into a newly formed limited company.

Owners and directors of these new companies were mostly local businessmen who financially supported the clubs and termed themselves custodians. As Football Association rules were designed to prevent them making personal profits from their shares, they gained more from the involvement and enhanced local profile and connections. This structure underpinned the game’s accumulation of heroes and heritage, the Football League’s expansion to four divisions by 1921 and the clubs embedding of their colours in the loyalty of generations.

The flotation, in 1997, raised £10m but was not enough to keep the club competitive in a rising tide of player wages and, although the regime managed to build the new stadium, City fell into administration in 2003.

Acase Keeps the New iPad Safe Inside its New Folio

The iPad 3 Case from Acase is a simple, yet highly convenient folio tablet case compatible with the Apple iPad 2 and the new iPad. The combination of durable polycarbonate and soft polyurethane leather protects the tablet from everyday bumps and bruises, while the soft interior lining keeps the device scratch free.

The new iPad case comes with magnets built into the cover, which will interact with the device turning it on and off. The magnets also keep the case firmly shut when not in use keeping the tablet inside at all times. The case also doubles up as a tablet stand with multimedia viewing and typing angles.

All ports and buttons of the device are open to unrestricted accesscure resin. This method is referred to as a xe2x80x9cradiation cure methodxe2x80x9d, hereinafter. Meanwhile, ultraviolet (UV) rays are generally used as radiation. Generally in the radiation cure method, radiation cure resin is coated on one substrate annularly by rotating the one substrate at low speed and the other substrate is placed on the one substrate such that the two substrates are formed integrally. Subsequently, after the radiation cure resin has been fully diffused between the two substrates by rotating the two substrates at high speed, radiation is irradiated to the substrates so as to cure the radiation cure resin.
However, in this method, since a position of diffusion of the radiation cure resin to an inner periphery of the substrates changes based on a position of coating of the


Since the mechanical strength of the thin substrate is small, it is desirable that the thin substrates are bonded to each other by filling the resin also in the disk clamp area of the substrates so as to be formed integrally. To this end, the UV cure resin should be coated on a neighborhood of the central bores of the substrates.
However, it has been difficult to stop the resin at a predetermined radial position of the substrate at all times. This is because diffusion speed of the UV cure resin to an inner periphery of the substrates changes based on a position of coating of the UV cure resin, timing of bonding of the substrates, rotational conditions of the substrates, change of viscosity of the UV cure resinher time as a prosecutor in California, where she fought to uphold certain wrongful convictions, championed a law to prosecute habitually truant children, and legally defended the death penalty despite her opposition to the practice.

Officials from the Trump administration issued an apology after a security agent at a Detroit airport repeatedly demanded that a Canadian cabinet minister remove his turban, the minister has revealed.

Navdeep Bains, the country’s minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, described the incident in an interview with the French-language paper La Presse on Thursday.

Bains was returning to Toronto after meetings with Michigan state leaders in April 2017 and had already passed through regular security checks, but because he was wearing a turban, a security agent told him that he would have to undergo additional checks, according to La Presse.

“He told me to take off my turban. I asked him why I would have to take off my turban when the metal detector had worked properly,” the minister said.The US amended its travel policy in 2007, allowing Sikhs to keep turbans on while passing during the security inspection process.

“It was an uncomfortable experience,” said Bains.

He refused the agent’s request to remove his turban: “I believed that it was an intrusion into my private life … They would never ask me to take off my clothes,” he said. The agent eventually relented.

Bains said that when he travels, he rarely discloses his identity as a cabinet minister, in order to better understand the travel experiences – and frustrations – of people not afforded similar privileges.

When he appeared at his scheduled gate, a second security agent approached him, requesting Bains return to the security checkpoint – and again telling him to remove his head-covering.

lion air group

Lion Air, a successful fast development national airline, started with only airplane in 2000. Presently, about 12 years later, the company operates 81 units BOEING 737-900 ER, and 2 units BOEING 747-400, with all together more than 600 flights a day. The fleet includes 40 new planes of the type Boeing 737-900ER. The airline flies to many domestic destinations and has international flights going to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Saigon, Penang, Malaka, and Jeddah, Medina in Saudi Arabia. Lion Air became the airline company with the largest amount of domestic passengers in Indonesia.

LIONMAG, a lifestyle and traveling magazine, publishes monthly 65.000 copies that are distributed on all flights of Lion Air. More than 3.600.000 people, mostly belonging to the middle and high class, read the magazine everyScott Eames had not spoken to his brother Jered in six years when he sat down to check his Facebook feed on Friday, November 9. The two had been in a death/black metal band, Saetith, until 2012, when Jered packed up his things and moved to Los Angeles, and they’d been completely out of contact since.

So imagine Scott’s surprise when, scrolling mindlessly though Facebook updates, he spotted his brother’s face in a thumbnail image linked to a story about Threatin, a hard rock artist who conned a sparsely attended European tour for himself and whose empire of fake business entities and paid-for online statistics suddenly came crumbling down around him last week, enrapturing the internet and making it all the way up to the New York Times.

Scott kept quiet at first, hoping the story would blow over without him getting sucked into it. He feared that people would eventually put together the pieces, and when that finally happened earlier this week he issued a statement distancing himself from his brother.

Jered has not spoken to his parents since 2012 either. A post his father, Jerry, left on his Facebook page last year went unanswered. Scott caught up with his parents in the past few days to explain everything that was going on and, unfortunately, they’re sad, but not surprised.

Scott tells me that both he and his brother were always incredibly driven to make music their livelihoods. But at a certain point Jered became too carried away and let his stage persona spill intoit. I was completely cool with being the brother band and taking a portion of the credit. He seemed like he couldn’t stand the fact that anyone else had gotten any attention – me or the drummer.”

It was at this point that Jered started taking credit for his bandmates parts. “We had released the second album for Saetith and when it came back, he had taken credit for some of the stuff he hadn’t done, just like online it says that he was the sole recording member of Saetith. He tracked bass and some of the keyboards, but the rest of it – the guitars and all the vocals — was me and of course the drums were the drummer. So he kind of twisted it a little

      The parties have filed four stipulations of facts which are incorporated

herein by this reference. The petitions in these cases were timely filed on July 31,

2017. At that time BLREDCO’s principal place of business was in California;

MBS’ principal place of business was also in California before it ceased

operations.

      Blue Lake Rancheria (Tribe) is an Indian Tribe federally recognized by the

U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). BLREDCo is a federally chartered

corporation whose charter was issued to the Tribe by DOI. At all relevant times

MBS operated a professional employment organization that provided employee

leasing


and temporary staffing services. MBS has its own Federal employer

identification number (FEIN), separate from the one issued to BLREDCo. The

employment taxes at issue arose from MBS’ business operations.

      On June 8, 2012, respondent prepared Forms 668(Y)(c), Notice of Federal

Tax Lien, for the employment taxes for the tax periods ended June 30 and

December 31, 2009, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2010, and March

mailed Letters 3172 and copies of the prepared Forms 668(Y)(c) to MBS and

BLREDCo. The Letters 3172 indicated that the first NFTLs were filed on June

19, 2012.

      On June 10, 2013, respondent prepared Forms 668(Y)(c) for the

employment taxes for the tax period ended June 30, 2011 (second NFTLs). The

second NFTLs were recorded with the County Recorder of Clark County, Nevada,

and filed with the California secretary of state. The second NFTLs were recorded

and filed in the name of “BLUE LAKE RANCHERIA ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION DBA MAINSTAY BUSINESS

SOLUTIONS.” On December 19, 2013, respondent mailed Letters 3172 and

copies of the prepared Forms 668(Y)(c) to MBS and BLREDCo. The Letters 3172

indicated that the third NFTLs were filed on December 19, 2013.

      The first, second, and third NFTLs all reflected the FEIN of MBS, not that

of BLREDCo.

      On July 25, 2012, BLREDCo and MBS each timely filed a Form 12153,

Request for a Collection Due Process or Equivalent Hearing, with respondent for

the employment taxesfor the tax periods listed in the first NFTLs. On July 18,

2013, BLREDCo and MBS each timely filed a Form 12153 with respondent for

the employment taxes for the tax period listed in the second NFTLs. On January

15, 2014, BLREDCo and MBS each timely filed a Form 12153 with respondent

nor any of its other divisions were engaged in similar business activities during the

tax quarters at issue. In 2009 and 2010 MBS had more than 20,000 employees and

more than $100 million in revenue and expenses.

      MBS had its own bank accounts with Bank of America, including an

operating account and a payroll account, and an account with Union Bank. MBS

paid its employees from its Bank of America payroll account. MBS filed quarterly

Forms 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, for employment tax

a Form 941 for the employmentMBS leased office space and paid the rent and personal property taxes

associated with these leases. In addition, MBS occupied part of an office building

at 605 Coolidge Drive, Folsom, California (Coolidge property). Title to the

Coolidge property was taken in the name of BLREDCo d.b.a. MBS as required by

Rabobank, the secured lender, in order to close the loan.

      Although title to the Coolidge property was in the name of BLREDCo,

MBS made the monthly mortgage payments on the building and paid maintenance

building. In addition, MBS paid the property taxes, the utility bills, and the

line of credit against which MBS could draw.

      On May 26, 2010, an amended financing agreement (amended FF

agreement) was entered into between FF, BLREDCo, and MBS, which the

agreement identifies as a division of BLREDCo. In relevant part the amended FF

agreement states: “This agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain

amended FF agreement. Although BLREDCo was listed as the debtor on the

financing statements, there is no evidence in the record that BLREDCo had any

accounts or other assets that were covered by the collateral as described.

      Following the amended FF agreement, MBS, not BLREDCo, continued to

make payments to FF. In addition, as a condition of continuing the agreement,

BLREDCo’s board of directors granted a limited waiver of sovereign immunity in

favor of FF, which was enforceable only against the assets of MBS. BLREDCo’s

IRA sec. 17 charter delegated to its board of directors the authority to waive

sovereign immunity for the divisions of BLREDCo, including MBS.

were served. In August 2011 EDD released the levies pursuant to a court order.

EDD did not levy on the bank accounts of BLREDCo. MBS has few to no assets

remaining following its cessation of operations. No MBS assets were transferred

to the Tribe or BLREDCo during all relevant times, including after MBS ceased

operations.

First on 12: Columbia County mother and teenage son charged with neighbor's murder

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga.--- A mother and son alleged criminal duo is now in the Columbia County jail. Forty-one year old Rebecca Sears is charged with conspiracy to commit murder and her 19-year old son Christopher Bowers are accused of murdering sears' next door neighbor and co-worker 41-year-old mother Kay Parsons.

Investigators say she was beaten inside her Grovetown home Wednesday morning, she died the next day.

it's the outcome some never saw coming.A brutal murder..allegedly at the hands of two people Kay parsons knew, very well. Still many questions without answers but the main one is --why?

It's the second homicide in Columbia County in more than two years and while it was a tough one; investigators believe theyhave the right people, Rebecca sears and her 19-year old son Christopher Bowers.

We have to set emotions aside and answer five questions. Who, what, when, where, and how. And we're confident we've done that, said Capt. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

Kay Parsons died Thursday; she was attacked the day before, found beaten in her garage. At first investigators say it appeared Parsons walked in on a burglary and was attacked. They found a bat and claw hammer. Sears and Parsons weren't only neighbors, but also co-workers.

"She was an innocent victim. She dropped her child off at school, she came back home and was murdered,"said Capt. Morris.

Parsons' next door neighbor, Rebecca Sears also claimed she was a victim and her home was burglarized. The next day,


Milan reject Flamengo bid for Robinho

Flamengo have abandoned their pursuit of Robinho after failing to agree a fee with AC Milan for the forward.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani travelled to Rio de Janeiro on Monday to thrash out a sale of the 28-year-old - who is understood to be keen on a return to his homeland - but the Flamengo offer of six million euros was quickly dismissed.

A statement on Flamengo's official website read: "Flamengo directors Wallim Vasconcellos and Flavio Godinho met on Monday afternoon with Mr. Adriano Galliani in an attempt to bring Robinho to the club.

"However, because of the amount requested by Milan, the club believes it is appropriate to abandon the deal and step aside."

Galliani, meanwhile, refused to concede defeat in negotiations with the Brasileirao outfitThe development of the spiral ganglion in the human foetus.
The development of the spiral ganglion was studied in steps sections of 81 human temporal bones. By the 8th week, the spiral ganglion has already separated from the vestibular ganglion. At 13 weeks two distinct populations are observed that correspond to neuron and Schwann cells. At 15 weeks the spiral ganglion has increased its distance from the cochlear duct and is surrounded by mesenchyme near the scala tympani. At 14 weeks a gradual decrease in the nucleus-to-cell area ratio was observed in spiral ganglion neurons that may reflect a morphological adaptation to function. By the 23rd week the modiolus begins to ossify and the spiral ganglion is surrounded by bony trabeculae. The time course of spiral ganglion development follows


little thin, but who knows?

As to Inslee, a Democrat, a couple of pieces of background seem in order, since he has specific political background in two geographic areas of interest.

In 1988 he ran for the state House and won, in a Yakima-area district - a hard get for a Democrat even then. In 1992 he was elected to the U.S. House from that central Washington district, also a tough go, and his loss in the 1994 Republican sweep was hardly an indicator of specific weakness. He moved to the Puget Sound after that and (after a primary-losing run for governor in 1996) ran for the U.S. House in his new turf, District 1, which includes a slice of King County but most takes in Kitsap and Snohomish -those latter mainly being swing suburban areas. He won by a hair in 1998, tossing out Republican incumbent Rick White. But since then he has become entrenched, and wins in landslides - Republicans haven't even tried seriously the last few runs. (His six general election percentages in District 1, in order from 1998 to 2008: 50%, 55%, 56%, 62%, 68%, 68%).

Inslee would have ample appeal in King County generally; he would be for the most part their kind of liberal Democrat. He has worked key suburban areas with considerable success. And he would have some experience in, if not necessarily winning in rural areas, at least appealing to them enough to toss a little blue into the sea of red. he also has had the experience (albeit unsuccessful)


ordered oil producers to cut output by 8.7 per cent starting in January after the discount on Western Canadian Select to U.S. benchmark prices widened to a record US$50 a barrel.

Economists at most major Canadian banks have cut economic growth forecasts for next year because of reduced oil revenue and investment. Some also predict Governor Stephen Poloz will refrain from raising borrowing costs at the central bank's next meeting in January.

Many of Ant and Dec's programmes are made by their own production company, and they are about to revive the one of which they have always been proudest – Saturday Night Takeaway, a variety show they created and executive produced, which ran for nine series from 2002 to 2009. An anarchic comedy rollercoaster of stunts, sketches and competitions, it was both emphatically old-fashioned and ironically knowing. When I sit in on a production meeting, they talk through every tiny detail until I'm no longer sure how much of it


comes down to decades of experience and how much to some sort of sixth sense for what an eight-year-old and his octogenarian granny would both want to watch.

Saturday Night Takeaway may be their pride and joy, but it was also the show that very nearly destroyed them. In 2007 it emerged that some of the phone-ins had been rigged, and viewers had been calling premium-rate numbers to win prizes that had already gone. The presenters were cleared of any complicity in the deceit, but at the time they were both certain it was curtains for their career. "Yeah, God, yeah." Ant shudders. "Completely, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah," Dec agrees. "That was just the worst, worst period ever."

The coalmine won't be operating for the next few months

People who used to work at the damaged Severnaya coalmine will be employed by others and their salaries will remain unchanged, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said.

"The coalmine won't be operating for the next few months, but employment will be secured with neighboring mines in Vorkuta. Somebody will be invited to move to another place. In any case, regardless of particular employment, the salaries will be paid in full for a few months," Dvorkovich said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 2.

The lists vary based on the part of the country. Some states are all or almost exclusively trucks and SUVs, while other states are filled with cars. For instance, the top four spots in North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas and Montana were pickup trucks, while other states like Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Hawaii and Rhode Island only had one pickup make the top 10.

The list also shows that old cars remain popular with car thieves. There are many 1990s vehicles that made the list, including the 1990 Toyota Camry in Washington and 1991Despite Hillary Clinton’s claim that single-payer medical insurance is politically impossible, it might get enacted if shown to be necessary for our national defense. There are precedents.

Before the Eisenhower administration, highways were mostly state responsibilities. But Eisenhower admired the German autobahns he saw after World War II. His 1919 military convoy across the U.S. had convinced him that good highways would be invaluable during wartime.

Eisenhower’s National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956 produced our present freeway system. Conservative enthusiasm for this major legislation was surely enhanced because it was a defense measure.

Before 1958, most education had been considered a state responsibility, and again a major federal expansion was justified by the need to strengthen national defense.

During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson backed off from earlier opposition to the proposed 19th Amendment, and he did it in the name of national defense.

This ethnographic study aimed to understand the meaning of quality of life from the perspective of people with coronary disease submitted to myocardial revascularization surgery. Direct observations and semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Data were analyzed through careful reading, identification of units of meaning, thematic groups and themes, and interpreted according to interpretative anthropology and the Centre for Health Promotion conceptual model of quality of life. The identified theme, quality of life being happy as possible, is based on being healthy, having a job and a harmonious family. These were considered dimensions for a "tranquil and happy" life. The meaning of quality of life is complex, subject to new significations throughout life, and
