Explanation: This digitally processed and composited picture creatively compares two famous eclipses in one; the total lunar eclipse (left) of January 31, and the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The Moon appears near mid-totality in both the back-to-back total eclipses. In the lunar eclipse, its surface remains faintly illuminated in Earth's dark reddened shadow. But in the solar eclipse the Moon is in silhouette against the Sun's bright disk, where the otherwise dark lunar surface is just visible due to earthshine. Also


Ehrman takes you on a journey to the ancient world and the forgery battles that have raged through the centuries. Ehrman contends that the New Testament is riddled with contradictions about the life of Jesus and his significance. He has provided compelling evidence that early Christianity was a collection of competing schools of thought and that the central doctrines we know today were the inventions of theologians living several centuries after Christ. Ehrman is a distinguished and prominent religious scholar, and has also appeared on NPR, "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."Insight from focus group interviews: adolescent girls' well-being in relation to experiences of winter, nature and seasonal changes in Northern Finland.
According to previous studies, gender-related differences have been found in relation to the experience of well-being. There are also research results indicating that environment and seasonal variation have an influence on the well-being. The aim of the study was to describe how adolescent girls living in northern Finland experience nature, winter and seasonal changes and meaning of these to their well-being. In this descriptive, qualitative research, 17 girls aged 13-16 who live in northern Finland participated in five focus group interviews where they presented photographs of nature they took themselves. Participation for the girls was voluntary, and the data were analysed by using content analysis. Three main categories

Rangers' Tuesday starter up in the air

Rangers' Tuesday starter up in the air

ARLINGTON -- Rangers reliever Matt Harrison could start in place of Dustin Nippert in Tuesday's game against the Angels.

It would be Nippert's scheduled turn in the rotation, but manager Ron Washington said he has preferred to throw left-handers against the Angels.

"Lefties do a good job against them. All of that will be discussed," Washington said. "In the past, we've always tried to throw our lefties against them."

Harrison began the season as a starter before being injured and picked up his first Major League save on Wednesday by pitching three innings with three strikeouts while giving up a run.

Since Nippert entered the rotation due to injuries to Rich Harden and Derek Holland, he hasn't pitchedpast the third inning in either of his starts.

In Wednesday's 13-3 win over the Pirates, Nippert struck out seven batters in just three innings of work. But three two-out walks and several foul balls by Pirates hitters kept Nippert from a quality start, as he threw 40 pitches in the third inning.

"In the third inning, he got the first two outs quick," Washington said. "He threw 40-something pitches, he lost his fastball. It was hot out there. It just took it out of him. When he got the first two outs, I thought, 'Geez, he might get five.'"

As a result, Harrison or Nippert could start. Should the Rangers choose go to the Minors, Guillermo Moscoso would be the candidate. Tanner Scheppers and Blake Beavan are not candidates.

The Italian club – the second most successful in European Cup history – is expected to be excluded from the 2018-19 Europa League by the Adjudicatory Chamber of UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body this week.

The proposed sanction – which the European governing body envisages as a warning to overspending clubs – has raised doubts over Milan’s ownership as well as the futures of recent high-profile signings, including club captain Leonardo Bonucci. The Italy international has been identified by Manchester United as an option to strengthen their defence.

Signed from Juventus for €42million last July, Bonucci was the most prominent acquisition of a window in which Milan committed a total


by debt as Milan “gambled” on securing Champions League revenues in the 2018-19 season, a practise the governing body would like to make an example of.

Li’s Sino-Europe Sports Investment Management company purchased Milan from former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi in April 2017 in a complex transaction that included financing by an American hedge fund, Elliott Management. Further high-interest loans were taken on during last season and, if Elliott is not repaid by October, it can take control of Milan from Li.

French midfield prospect Adrien Rabiot scored the opening goal last night as PSG knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League.

The midfielder netted in the seventh minute, cancelling out Chelsea's away goal from the first leg, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic went onto score a late winner after Diego Costa equalised.

Rabiot is a player better known in England for appearing in the gossip columns than on the pitch, and it was a sign of his progress that he played such a prominent role in a big game.

He has been linked with signing for Tottenham Hotspur on multiple occasions, while at one stage it was even claimed a deal had been struck.

Here's a brief timeline of the reported interest...

August 2014:The Express report Tottenham 'dramatically' enter the race to try and beat Arsenaland Chelsea to Rabiot's signature.

January 2015: The Star report Tottenham agree a deal to sign Adrien Rabiot on loan for the rest of the season.

June 2015: The Telegraph report Tottenham could re-ignite their interest in Rabiot during the summer.

December 2015: Talksport report Tottenham could fight it out with Arsenal to sign Rabiot on loan in January.

Needless to say, none of the moves ever came off and Rabio remained a PSG player.

He had been seen as a player with a bit-part role at the club due to the excellence in midfield of established stars, Marco Verratti, Thiago Motta, and Blaise Matuidi, but this season he has been forcing his way into the starting line-up more frequently.

Last night he was picked as a starter at Stamford Bridge, while former Spurs


midfielder Benjamin Stambouli was an unused substitute.

Whether Tottenham need him with Dele Alli and Eric Dier is another matter, while PSG are now a lot more unlikely to let him leave, especially to go out on loan as was previously suggested.

Rabiot completed all 90 minutes, touching the ball 107 times and completing 90 per cent of his passes, while also making five tackles, the most of any PSG player.

His performance was enough to leave Tottenham fans wishing they had made a move, or urging them to revisit their interest. An upgrade on Nabil Bentaleb or Ryan Mason? On last night's performance, yes.

The ICU team superficially packed his oral and nasal cavities with gauze, held bivalirudin, and started antibiotic prophylaxis. Upon otolaryngology evaluation on HD 8, the patient was not bleeding around packing. No further intervention was performed due to concern for clot destabilization and manipulation of mucosal membranes. His bivalirudin gtt was resumed at a lower dosage, oral packing was removed on HD 11, and bleeding resolved. On HD 15 the patient was started on vasopressin.

Last but not the least we have redbus.in. It came up with an online network to sort outSusan C. *977 Cole resides in Iowa and is employed by Wells Fargo.
Cole began her employment at Wells Fargo as a tax representative in 1997. She was promoted to Underwriter I in June 2003. In October 2003, Cole began suffering panic attacks as a result of changes in certain medications Cole required. Cole informed her supervisor, Rebecca Jones, about these attacks. Later that month, Cole was contacted by a Wells Fargo physician, who recommended Cole be placed on leave until her response to her medications stabilized. Cole embarked on a period of leave, returning to Wells Fargo in November 2003. When she returned, she suggested several accommodations: she petitioned for a closer parking spot, requested to work on the first floor of the building, and asked to work


from her home.
In December 2003, Jones suggested Wells Fargo purchase an armchair for Cole to use during her panic attacks and that Cole be permitted to work in a tall, secluded cubicle. Later that month, the armchair purchase was approved, and in January 2004, an armchair was placed in Cole's secluded cubicle. Cole claims Jones harassed her about the use of her chair, but she provides no factual details backing this allegation.
In August 2004, Wells Fargo reorganized the office where Cole worked. According to Cole, she was placed in the center of the workspace in a short cubicle surrounded by other workers. Jones told Cole the armchair would not "fit" in the reorganized space, so she would need to do her job without it. Cole complained she wouldbe unable to work effectively without her armchair. Ken Roth, Cole's manager, told Cole she could work in a double cubicle with her armchair, but Jones had disposed of the armchair "in such a way that it could not be placed in the center of the work space."
Also in August 2004, some of Cole's coworkers began to work flex schedules. Although Cole wished to attend work on such a schedule, she was told she needed a higher quality rating before becoming eligible for that benefit. Cole later learned others working flex schedules had lower quality ratings than her own.
In November 2004, Cole checked certain underwriting statistics and found errors in her reports. She reported these errors to Roth, who told her to speak with Jones. Cole complied. According


to Cole, Jones advised her that if she corrected the errors, Jones would find more errors, so Cole was "better off" if the errors remained. Cole's filings are devoid of detail regarding what the alleged errors were or how Cole could conceivably benefit from their presence.
Sometime between November 2004 and January 2005, an individual with a lower quality rating than Cole's was promoted to Underwriter II. In January 2005, Cole met with Roth to discuss why she was not promoted. Roth told Cole she was not selected because of a poor assessment and told Cole she required additional training. The record contains little regarding Cole's work performance. The pleadings reflect that in December 2003, a Wells Fargo employee told Cole she "was having performance issues," but in September2004, Cole earned an award for "quality." Cole requested a copy of the poor assessment from Roth and Wells Fargo's Human Resources department, but this request was purportedly denied.
*978 Since she began working at Wells Fargo, Cole has converted to Judaism. On October 28, 2004, Cole asked Roth that she be permitted to arrive at and leave from work thirty minutes early on Fridays to attend services at her synagogue. Roth initially advised Cole he was unable to give a definitive answer, but Cole claims her request was eventually denied.
Cole filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission (ICRC) on May 2, 2005, and received an administrative release on January 9, 2006. Cole initiated this action in the Iowa District Court in and for Polk County in


early 2006, and it was removed by Wells Fargo to this court on March 6, 2006.
The current version of Cole's Complaint contains four counts. Count 1 sets forth a disability discrimination claim, wherein Cole claims she was not promoted because of her penchant for panic attacks. In Count 2, Cole claims Wells Fargo denied her request to adjust her work schedule so she could attend religious services, amounting to a violation of the Free Exercise Clauses of the United States and Iowa constitutions.[3] Cole sets forth a tortious misrepresentation claim in Count 3. She alleges Wells Fargo employees informed her she "would need to reach level 4 performance in order to be promoted."

Grammar schools in England may ask parents for hundreds of pounds a year to cope with funding cuts, their head teachers' association has warned.

A majority of grammars will be left worse off by proposed funding changes, according to analysis by the Grammar School Heads' Association.

A number of Conservative MPs are urging the government to change its plans.

But the Department for Education said it was ending a postcode lottery in school funding.

'Fundamental change'

The new system is designed to support deprived areas by reallocating existing funding.

But the Grammar School Heads' Association has said that while 60 grammar schools will gain, 103 are set to lose money, 62 of which will receive cuts as deep as any in England.

Grammar schools: What are they?

Grammar schools: Check your area

The head of Altrincham Grammarspending on salaries and library books.

Latymer School in north London has asked parents for contributions to help cover a funding shortfall, and expects more schools to do likewise.

Schools are not allowed to charge for education in school hours, but no law prevents them from asking for voluntary contributions for the benefit of the school or any school activities.

'Distorted outcomes'

The existing funding system for grammar schools was criticised for being arbitrary and tending to give more money to city schools than those in suburbs and shire counties.

The co-chair of the F40 campaign for fairer funding, Conservative MP Alex Chalk, said there was concern about the risk of replacing one geographical injustice with another.

The campaign spent years pushing for funding reform.

He welcomed the fact the funding rules were being rewritten,


but said: "The bottom line is that it's created some distorted outcomes which we think require some significant remodelling."

Ministers face pressure from other Conservative MPs concerned about proposed cuts affecting schools of all kinds in their constituencies.

Some of them privately expect the government to change its plans.

A number of Tories are backing heads' demands for a minimum per pupil funding guarantee that teachers and MPs proposed to the schools minister Nick Gibb in a meeting at the start of the year.

Tallgrass Film Festival 2017 - Ad Astra honoree announced

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Tallgrass Film Association announces Rose McGowanwill be honored with this year’s Ad Astra Award at the 15th Tallgrass International Film Festival (October 18-22)

Wichita, KS (September 12, 2017) – The Tallgrass Film Association today announced that actress, filmmaker, and outspoken social and political activist, Rose McGowan, will be this year’s recipient of the Ad Astra Award during the 15th edition of the Tallgrass International Film Festival Presented by Consolidated Equities Trust (October 18-22) in Wichita, Kansas.

Regarding McGowan’s selection as the Ad Astra honoree this year, Tallgrass’s Program Director


Nick Pope said, “From her debut in THE DOOM GENERATION through films like JAWBREAKER, SCREAM and PLANET TERROR, Rose McGowan has been a major indie film icon that epitomizes the phrase ‘stubbornly independent.’ However, we have all learned that as dynamic as her onscreen presence was, it was barely scratching the surface of her filmmaking vision – as demonstrated by her directorial debut, DAWN. On top of that, her brave and uncompromising voice in Hollywood speaking out on the issues that female filmmakers, actors, and frankly, anyone, in the filmmaking community faces as they attempt to create art and make a living in what can oftentimes be a brutal and unforgiving industry, has made her a leading light in the world of film.”

Tallgrass will present the Ad AstraAward to Rose McGowan at the Scottish Rite Theater (332 E 1st St N) prior to a screening of her critically acclaimed short film, DAWN on Thursday, October 19 at 9:00PM. A Q&A will follow with McGowan moderated by film critic and host of The Canon, Amy Nicholson, and Festworks.com’s John Wildman. The special evening will conclude with a retro screening of PLANET TERROR at 9:45PM, including an introduction by McGowan.

Tallgrass will kick off its tribute to Rose McGowan prior to the festival with a free screening of SCREAM, on Final Friday, September 29th in Gallery Alley, following a reel of 2017 Coming Attractions festival trailers. Sponsored by J. Andrew & Liv + Work.

DAWN, PLANET TERROR

McGowan has been a dynamic and provocative presence on film and television for


the past two decades. A favorite of the most iconoclastic directors, she has appeared in acclaimed films by Gregg Araki, Wes Craven, Brian De Palma, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. In 2014, her directorial debut, DAWN (2014) was nominated for the Short Film Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. McGowan made an indelible mark on the independent film scene with her iconic debut in Araki’s THE DOOM GENERATION (1995), which earned her a Spirit Award nomination for Best Debut Performance. She followed that success with Craven’s SCREAM (1996), which became one of the highest grossing films of the year, and launched a film franchise that arguably revived the horror genre. Additional strong performances in indie films included GOING ALL THE WAY (1997), SOUTHIE (1998), and JAWBREAKERTallgrass Film Association Stubbornly Independent since 2003, the Tallgrass Film Festival is the largest film festival in Kansas.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was the special guest at the world premiere on Thursday evening of Jaha’s Promise, a feature documentary on female genital mutilation (FGM) following the life story of a 26-year-old campaigner Jaha Dukureh.

The film, made by the Guardian and Accidental Pictures, got a standing ovation from the audience at the annual film festival. Dukureh, who is a Time 100 leader, survived FGM as a child in the Gambia and then at 15 was flown to New York to marry a man she had never met.

In the US the horror of what happened to her body became apparent. The film crew follow her as she confrontsfilm is directed and produced by Patrick Farrelly and Kate O’Callaghan and was a co-production by Accidental Pictures and the Guardian. It will be shown on TV in the summer and will beginning touring in FGM-practising countries in April beginning in The Gambia and Sierra Leone.

Reason: What happens if a Scyther is traded w/ a Metal Coat?.

The Time Capsule (Japanese: タイムカプセル Time Capsule) is a mechanic in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal that allows players to trade Pokémon back in time to Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, Yellow. It is not present in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the games

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (Japanese and Western versions)

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each Pokémon Center. However, it will be under repair and unavailable until the player has met Bill in Ecruteak City. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 hourstrading room of the Generation II games. The attempt to trade will be cancelled and Bill will appear as soon as the player attempts to leave the Pokémon Center in Ecruteak City.

After unlocking it, the player can use Time Capsule with Western versions of the Generation I games. However, like when trading between Korean and Western Generation II games, because the Western games do not support Korean characters, Pokémon names and Original Trainers will not display properly in the Western games; if a Korean character corresponds to a control character in the Western games, this can have other unexpected effects.

Comparison with other games

The Time Capsule is the only facility which allows direct


inter-generational trades. Starting with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in Generation III, this is no longer possible in the games, although it is possible to migrate Pokémon forward a generation through use of Pal Park (from Generation III to Generation IV), the Poké Transfer (from Generation IV to Generation V) and the Poké Transporter (from Generation V to Generation VI). Pokémon can no longer be "sent back in time", i.e., they can no longer be directly traded back to a previous generation game.

In addition, the scientists found that, although the black hole had reached the end of its growth, stars were still forming in its galaxy. Prior research suggested that radiation and flowing gas from around the black hole would stifle the birth of stars.

"The black hole didn't affect the growth of the galaxy — again, contrary to many common models and ideas in the field," Trakhtenbrot said. "The black hole has done most of its growth and is shutting down. The galaxy is still growing."

This finding supports previous research suggesting that black holes may have grown incredibly rapidly in the newborn universe, Trakhtenbrot said. For instance, the early universe was much smaller, and thus denser, on average than it is today,

It was never a sure thing that Kim would make it here. That's why the Orioles were able to sign him for a two year, $7 million contract, a very modest sum. No one really yet knows how the performance of the best Korean players will translate over to MLB.

Jung Ho Kang was a KBO star before having a successful 2015 with the Pirates, so there's one example of a successful transition, but Kang had a different skill set than Kim.

For the first time since the Cold War the German government is advising citizens to stockpile food and water for use in a national emergency.

Some opposition MPs said the new civil defence concept, to go before ministers on Wednesday, was scaremongering.

Citizens are advised to store enough food to last them 10 days, because initially a disaster might put national emergency services beyond reach.

Five days' water - two litres (half a gallon) per person daily - is advised.

The German news website Frankfurter Allgemeine (FAZ) said the new concept was set out in a 69-page


The 'dump button' in a radio station allows presenters to prevent profanity, defamation, or any other unacceptable content from ever going to air.

Sometimes referred to as the 'seven-second delay', the technology was taken up quickly by commercial radio stations across Australia after the Federal Government legalised talkback radio in 1967.

However, the national broadcaster was cautious in its uptake.

It is understood the ABC first trialled the technology years later in 1976, and within three episodes of its new Talkback Gardener show, the dump button was first used.

So what caused the ABC to freak out and hit the dump button for the first time?

The Country Hour host

In 1976, Allan Humphries had recently moved from Darwin back to Sydney and was hosting the New South Wales Country Hour program.

He recalls theend, so I hit the dump button," Mr Humphries said.

"That was the first time the dump button was hit on the ABC and quite an interesting piece of radio history."

Mr Humphries went on to host a number of programs that were born from the ABC's Rural Department, including a talkback program about hobby farming, initially established to assist city people wanting to have a lifestyle change.

In 2019, the ABC works in 10-second delay.

sitting in storage, despite reports of critical shortages at hospitals and medical centers treating coronavirus patients across the county.

N95 respirators are personal protective equipment used to shield the wearer's face from airborne disease particles. The masks are primarily used by healthcare professionals treating the COVID-19 disease caused by the novel coronavirus, as well as by officials at the US Customs and Border Protection.

Experts have warned that the US faces a shortage of critical supplies, as the number of cases continues to grow. Doctors have started storing their single-use face masks in paper bags so they can reuse them, prompting ordinary people to donate face masks and other supplies to help medical staff facing shortages.

Five people with knowledge of the stockpile told The Washington Post that the surplus ofmasks is sitting in a CBP warehouse in Indiana.

Three unnamed sources told The Post that the masks are part of the CBP's emergency supplies and that the Department of Homeland Security has decided to offer the supplies to the Transportation Security Administration.

Officials have chosen not to ship the masks out due to their expiration date, the outlet added.

A senior administration official told The Post that the masks are "fully capable."

"We'd never put the lives of the men and women at DHS at risk," the official said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new guidelines for using expired masks in February, stating that masks that are past their manufacturer-designated shelf life are no longer certified by the CDC but can be considered for use in the event of


Insider's request for comment.

A spokesperson for the CBP told Business Insider that the agency was going to transfer some of its N95 masks in emergency storage to the TSA and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"CBP is committed to minimizing the risk of COVID-19 exposure to our workforce and to members of the public with whom we interact," the spokesperson said.

"CBP took early action to ensure all Sectors and Field Offices continue to keep a supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including N95 respirators readily available to all front line employees. CBP, in consultation with its DHS partners, will transfer some of the N95 respirators in its emergency supply to TSA and ICE to help protect their personnel and the American public."

The spokesperson added that the DHS, throughFEMA, has also shipped 9 million N95 masks and 20 million surgical masks to support US public health authorities.

On Sunday, FEMA administrator Peter Gaynor told CNN's Jake Tapper that he could not give a "rough number" on the number of masks the Trump administration has bought and distributed to hospitals in need.

On Monday, President Donald Trump said FEMA would be distributing 8 million N95 respirators and 13.3 million surgical masks to areas hardest-hit by the virus. As of Thursday evening, the US reported over 83,000 cases of coronavirus, surpassing China and Italy in its case count.

Over 1,200 people have died in the US so far.

India's infrastructure performance in 2014-15 was better than the previous fiscal, as production of inputs including power, steel, coal and cement moved up.

Other areas that showed improvement are fertiliser, refinery, goods traffic carried by railways, cargo handled at major sea ports, airports and net addition in telephone switching capacity, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation (MoSPI) said.

In addition, new cellphone connections were also higher than the achievement in 2013-14, it added.

Overall power generation during April-March (2014-15) at over 1110 Billion units (BU) was 8.85 percent higher than the power generation during the corresponding period of the previous year, it said. Production of power thermal (878.32 BU), nuclear (36.10 BU), hydro (129.24 BU), and renewable (61.78 BU) were all higher than the targets set for the year.

Renewable energy productionwas 16.44 percent higher than that in the previous year.

The Number of passengers handled, both international and domestic terminals of the airport, were also higher than the respective targets as well as the performance during the corresponding period of the previous year, said the ministry.

It said however that while production of coal, fertiliser, hydro power generation, refinery, goods traffic carried by railways, export and import cargo handled at airports improved last fiscal, over 2013-14, the achievements were lower than the targets set for the year (2014-15).

ADELAIDE was meant to implode when Patrick Dangerfield walked out the doors at West Lakes to join Geelong.

Despite the Crows winning an elimination final in 2015 and retaining most of their core group of senior players, not one of AFL.com.au's reporters tipped them to finish in the top eight this season.

On paper the Crows' midfield looked thin, their backline shaky and they were facing a nightmarish opening eight rounds with a relatively unknown coach at the helm.

But at the halfway point of what loomed as a baptism of fire for Don Pyke, his side has instead constructed a finals launching pad.

Since narrowly going down to North Melbourne in round one, they've humiliated Showdown rivals Port Adelaide and pummeled a hapless Richmond, scoring 82 points directly from turnovers.

And into Sam Jacobs, the Crows were the League's best side at scoring from restarts.

They've dropped to 11th in the competition this year, while they're no longer bullying opponents around the ball.

The Crows' contested ball differential has plummeted from nearly +10 (third in the AFL) last year to almost -2 (ninth in the AFL) without their reigning club champion.

But they are holding their own.

Scott Thompson has been in vintage touch and remains a beast around the ball. Rory Sloane is winning more of it out of the centre square, and supporting cast Matt Crouch, his brother Brad, Jarryd Lyons, Rory Atkins and ex-Magpie Paul Seedsman are stepping up after playing just 50 games between them in 2015.

The midfield is deeper than originally given credit, while defensively the Crows are

The Crows boast the AFL's second-most potent offence – only undefeated North Melbourne has scored more – however Adelaide is facing another huge challenge to prove its can match it with the best against Hawthorn at the MCG.

When the teams met in last year's semi-final, it was Dangerfield who battled nearly one-out in a 74-point humbling.

On Friday night, we'll see just how far the Crows have come.

STATS QUIRK OF THE ROUND: North Melbourne, sitting on top of the ladder, has conceded more points (412) than cellar-dwellers Carlton (403) after four rounds.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A slew of superheroes, magic and King Arthur are just some of the bait that movie studios are using to entice fans at this year's San Diego Comic Convention as Warner Bros' DC Comics franchise goes head-to-head with Disney's Marvel universe.

The four-day event, which has become an increasingly important tool for Hollywood to generate interest in upcoming movies, is due to kick off on Thursday. It will include panels and activities hosted by studios and television networks for the 100,000-plus audience comprising comic book, film and TV fans.

Dreamworks' "Trolls," Oliver Stone's "Snowden" and sci-fi adventure "Valerian" are putting on celebrity panels, while Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are scheduled to host a screening party for their


R-rated animated "Sausage Party."

On Saturday, Warner Bros will showcase its upcoming films and Marvel will close out the day.

Anthony Breznican, Entertainment Weekly senior writer, said in an interview that Warner Bros has some work to do after the criticism around March's "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice."

"(Warner Bros) has to win over the people about the rest of this universe going forward," Breznican said. "Marvel just has to maintain, they have cruise control on, but of course that doesn't mean they can slow down."

Disney, keeping its line-up under wraps, is expected to bring "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" and Benedict Cumberbatch's "Doctor Strange."

Alongside "Wonder Woman", "Suicide Squad" and Guy Ritchie's new "King Arthur" film, Warner Bros is throwing in a dose of magic with "Fantastic Beasts and Wherein esports history."

Enlarge this image toggle caption Hannah Grabenstein/AP Hannah Grabenstein/AP

Just months after a statue of Baphomet grabbed national headlines while briefly appearing outside the Arkansas State Capitol, the winged, goat-headed creature has stepped back into the spotlight — this time, taking its starring turn in the courts.

The Satanic Temple has sued Netflix and Warner Bros. in a New York federal court, alleging that the media giants lifted and misused its distinctive icon. The organization filed a complaint Thursday saying its copyrighted statue design, known as Baphomet with Children, appeared without its permission in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a new streaming series released on Netflix last month.

The temple claims that by doing so, the companies committed copyright infringement, violated


a young boy and girl gazing admiringly at the seated deity, which has two fingers raised to the sky as it stares straight ahead. What's more, the plaintiff notes that unlike previous depictions, the Sabrina version uses "an exposed male chest, instead of exposed large voluptuous female breasts" — a characteristic the Satanic Temple claims to be its own original contribution.

Temple co-founder and spokesperson Lucien Greaves presented the two versions together in a tweet earlier this week "for purposes of comparison."

The statue may look familiar — and not just for Sabrina viewers.

Back in August, the Satanic Temple made a national splash with its protest of a Ten Commandments monument that had been installed on Arkansas State Capitol grounds earlier in the year. The temple — and other groups,including the American Civil Liberties Union — decried the move as violating the separation of church and state.

In reaction to the Ten Commandments monument, the temple hauled out its own 7 1/2-foot statue to take up residence on the state grounds. And it held a rally to celebrate the short-lived installation.

It came down after just a handful of hours.

Now, the Satanic Temple is girding for a new fight, saying the series has twisted its publicly espoused tenets — which it says call for "compassion and empathy," the "struggle for justice" and conforming beliefs to "one's best scientific understanding of the world," among other principles.

The series, on the other hand, implies "the monument stands for evil," the complaint states. And now, the temple is demanding redress in a trial


of local folklore I have been aware of for many years concerns the former Green Street House in Newham in London, which was subsequently dubbed the Boleyn Castle by locals due to a castellated decorative tower which formed part of the building. Locals believe Anne Boleyn once lived there despite there being no evidence to show that she ever did. The myth goes on to say the building was festooned with secret tunnels emanating from the site that were used by Henry VIII for the purposes of secret romantic trysts with Anne Boleyn at a time when he was still married to Catherine of Aragon.

It is not quite known when Green Street House was built but there is however a detailed description of the building that was writtenin the mid-16th century. The building was demolished in 1955 and West Ham Football Club stands on part of its former land hence the name ‘Boleyn’ ground which refers to the club’s football stand.

Depending on which version of local folklore is being related, the supposed secret tunnels run from Green Street House marked ‘A’ on the 1777 Chapman & Andre map, to either the Black Lion public house in Plaistow marked ‘B’, the Spotted Dog Inn in Upton Lane marked ‘C’ or, Saint Mary Magdalene Church marked ‘D’.

While it is known the Black Lion Public House does indeed have a bricked up tunnel in its basement, the use of secret ‘Priest Holes’, (hiding places built for Roman Catholic priests during Henry VIII’s reign), cannot be discounted. In each

PETALING JAYA (Feb 18, 2009): Forensics police today visited the Bukit Gasing home of Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman Elizabeth Wong as part of investigations into her report that intimate pictures of her sleeping had been circulated.

At about noon, a team from the federal police forensics department went to Wong's house where they were believed to positively ascertain the locations where the two photographs they have in their possession could have been taken.

The


photographs were reportedly taken with a handphone at her home.

Wong had in her earlier statement refused to speculate on who took them, although some reports had linked them to her ex-boyfriend who is also a Parti Keadilan Rakyat member.

Selangor police chief DCP Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said Petaling Jaya police will hand over the investigation to Kuala Lumpur police in a day or two as the assemblyman's house comes under the jurisdiction of Brickfields police.

On the progress of the probe, he said police are trying to trace Wong's ex-boyfriend to record his statement and are checking with the Immigration Department if he is still in the country or had left for overseas.

He also warned those who have the said photos to either hand them over to police orto destroy them.

"If we catch anyone distributing or having these photos in their possession, we will not hesitate to take stern action against them," he said.

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said to date police have recorded a statement from Wong and four journalists from two English newspapers who first carried the story on the photos

Elizabeth Wong, who has been thrust into controversy following the release of her nude photographs, has offered to resign as Selangor state executive councillor and Bukit Lanjan state assemblyman.

She told a news conference at the PKR headquarters today that she would discuss with Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim arrangements for the handover of her responsibilities.

Wong, 37, is the state executive councillor in charge of tourism, consumer


affairs and environment.

In an emotionally-charged news conference and surrounded by about 30 supporters, Wong said the incident was an underhanded attempt by certain quarters to smear her reputation.

"My personal life and privacy have been violated. These people have conspired to undermine my credibility both as a Selangor state executive council member as well as a Parti Keadilan Rakyat leader," she said.

Wong, who was intermittently wiping her tears throughout the news conference, also maintained that she did not break any law.

"I have done nothing wrong. I wish to state that I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and as a single person. I have broken no law," she said.

"I stand by the fundamental principle in a democracy that everyone has a right to privacy," she added.

Wongsaid that the decision to offer her resignation as the Selangor executive councillor and state assemblyman was made in the interest of the party.

"Although the smear campaign directed towards me has caused me a lot of anguish, I am aware that the real objective is to discredit Parti Keadilan Rakyat," she claimed.

Wong said she believed that the "attacks" to discredit the party would continue with greater intensity.

"Accordingly, I have decided to make a stand in the interest of the party and its struggle for the people," she said.

Wong lodged a police report at the Damansara police station on Sunday following the circulation of her nude photographs. -- BERNAMA

SHAH ALAM (Feb 13, 2009): Pakatan Rakyat (PR) is now vigilant in Selangor as it is learnt that


Barisan Nasional (BN) is trying to get at least seven PR assemblymen to either cross over or quit their parties.

The case of "missing" Port Klang assemblyman, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)'s Badrul Hisham Abdullah, had sparked talk that BN agents are on overdrive to reclaim the state it lost in the general election – buoyed by their success in wresting Perak last week.

However, Badrul Hisham called a press conference yesterday to rubbish claims by Klang PKR information chief Aziz Johari that he had met with a Klang Umno division leader.

He said the rumour was spread by certain people to create confusion in the PR government in Selangor and he had met the party's top leadership to explain all issues that had cropped up about him.

Asked whether he had beenoffered to cross over, he said he had not received any offers and he had not thought of jumping to another party, Bernama reported.

On claims that he was "missing" lately and difficult to contact or hardly met constituents, Badrul said: "I am in my area."

On other claims that he did not receive state allocations and was involved in a "khalwat" case, he said: "No, I did not do it."

At the same time, it is learnt that BN, particularly MCA and Gerakan, is milking the discontent of State DAP leaders among themselves as well as with the national leadership and with senior State Assembly officials. At least one executive councillor is being courted.

Senior PR leaders claimed that apart from offers of money, one or two members were also being


meeting.

It was decided there was no need to sign any oath of allegiance because ultimately "the allegiance is more towards the voters".

It was also agreed that such meetings should be held more regularly to straighten out issues and to avoid confusion, as well as to keep everyone in check, said a source.

As chief executive of the State, Abdul Khalid also heads PR in Selangor. He had told a news conference on Wednesday that the meeting would also discuss how allocations to assemblymen could be better spent.

Of late, there had been murmurings among several assemblymen over the amount and method of disbursement of the allocations.Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman and executive councillor for tourism, consumer affairs and the environment, Elizabeth Wong of PKR said she is confident one will not seesystem, councillors carry these roles and responsibilities.

Based on a short, successful campaign by the religious right and tea-party groups last year, ratification fell six votes short. A number of otherwise responsible legislators were intimidated by highly organized nonsense.

The treaty does nothing to encourage abortion. It only sets the expectation that a country's existing "sexual and reproductive health" services should be equally available to the disabled. In practice, this means disabled people should not be subjected to forced sterilization or forced abortion — presumably pro-life commitments. The U.S. has made clear it views the treaty as silent on the general legality of abortion — a view uniformlythe plaintiffs was a "consummation of loan" agreement, by which the loan was made contingent upon the plaintiffs' ability to grant Pico a "valid" second mortgage on their home.

expressed regret for some of the mistakes made in planning for the Iraq War (mistakes, by implication, made by others). But he could not regret the war itself and his decision to launch it. How could he? He still thought it was the right thing to do. Meanwhile, the voters who put Blair in office and who have turned on him since are rarely heard regretting their original decision. It wasn’t their fault he went on to behave the way he did. He let them down. The ballot box is not designed to serve as a confessional. It is a place where people go to express their anger at the behaviour of others.

Might referendums be different? When politicians decide to put a decision they would otherwise take onreturn to the status quo. The status quo has gone for good. For Britain to remain a member of the EU would require a new set of negotiations. It is true that the original vote merely offered us the status quo against some unspecified alternative (‘Leave’) and that specifying the alternative might well increase the attractiveness of the status quo, as happened in New Zealand. But the difficulty here is that there is no way to specify the alternative – to agree a deal, or to arrive at no deal – without consigning the status quo to oblivion.

That, though, is simply part of the wider problem, which is that the Brexit referendum was nothing like a referendum on a change to the voting system. When the British people


as right, were far more likely to vote for Brexit than the young. But another division, just as pronounced, was education: whether or not someone had gone to university was one of strongest indicators of voting behaviour in the referendum (just under 70 per cent of university graduates voted Remain). Yet a degree has become something close to an entry requirement for a political career at Westminster. A large majority of MPs are now graduates (with only a few exceptions, the Brexit-sympathising Corbyn being one), along with a near monopoly of their advisers and civil servants. On many questions – health, housing, welfare, education itself, even fox-hunting – this might not matter because public opinion divides on grounds other than education. But on Brexit it means Parliament risksChristians urged to speak out over EU sanctions against Palestine

art these days that deserve to be immortalized.

Much of his upper body is covered in about $40,000 worth of intricate tattoos that all hold meaning for Hamm who lives in Cleveland, Ohio. His grandson's love of lizards inspired the ones on his arms and the gorilla on his chest bears his wife's name, Penny. "That gorilla is guarding her," he says.

Death-defying tattoos

A successful businessman, Hamm was once a partner with the accounting firm KPMG, and now runs insurance companies. The 60-year-old recently lamented to a group of business associates that when he dies, his tattoos, "this beautiful artwork is going to be gone."

He explains, "One guy jokingly said, you know what, when you die, I'll have somebody come and cut them off for you."

It was no joke toHamm who was inspired to investigate further. He gathered a group of specialists, including a master embalmer, a doctor, and tattoo artists, to find a way to preserve skin art.

The group came up with a proprietary formula involving a series of non-toxic chemicals baths.

Hamm didn't want to risk wrecking a client's real tattoo so he became the first test case. He had recently lost 100 pounds and had loose skin around his waist. So he got two small tattoos on the area, one stating his former workplace, "KPMG" and a classic one with the word, "MOM."

He then had a doctor remove them from his body. "He handed me two little pill bottles with tattoos in them," says Hamm.

The formula proved successful and NAPSA was born. For a $115


US initial fee and yearly dues of $60 US, members can name a beneficiary who receives a designated tattoo on their passing. More than one tattoo will cost extra. Members are welcome across North America.

This is how it works: the beneficiary must notify NAPSA within 18 hours after the person dies. The organization then sends a kit to the deceased person's funeral home so it can remove the tattoo and ship it to NAPSA.

NAPSA then treats the tattoo and sends it, packaged in an encasing, to the beneficiary, along with a certificate.

Keep it in the family

All Hamm's tattoos have been designated to family members including the lizards for his grandson and the gorilla for his wife.

"My tattoos from my perspective are an expression of who I am andthey show the love that I have for the people in my life," he says. "I think it's important those things live on."

Shelly Krajny from Cleveland recently joined NAPSA so she could pass on her treasured tattoo. She started it four years ago with a Blue Heron to mark her recovery from a 12-year battle with an eating disorder.

"I picked [it] because it does symbolize strength and patience and determination," she says.

The 32-year-old college instructor then kept building on the tattoo, adding another heron, flowers, trees, even the moon. "It kind of just progressed from this one amazing bird into this entire kind of work of art," she says.

Krajny was thrilled when she learned she could preserve her tattoo. "After the person dies, the art will be gone


and now it doesn't have to be," she says. "It's something that can be preserved forever. I think that's amazing."

Krajny hasn't yet decided who will get her tattoo. She comes from a traditional family and says some relatives are still grappling with the concept.

"They appreciate the art, but none of them have tattoos so it's hard for them to wrap their brains around the whole [preserving] process."

My tattoos die with me

Ben Rayner is also still trying to wrap his head around the process, and he sports about 20 tattoos. "It's sort of like one step away from having yourself stuffed and mounted," says the Toronto music critic.

Rayner's tattoos — all with an alien theme — are meaningful to him. "I'm a UFO nut," he says. But he feelsthat the parts can be moved or transferred in a direction in which the automobile bodies are fed, and are brought into the automobile bodies during the movement of the parts with the bodies, as disclosed in laid-open Publications Nos. 59-185182 and 63-181588 of unexamined Japanese Utility Model Applications. While the burden on the worker for bringing the heavy parts into the automobile body can be considerably reduced, the worker still has to bear a great burden when the worker enters the automobile body and performs the intended job, such as fastening of bolts, in a half-sitting posture.

       In 1989, long-time employee Ralph Little applied for and was granted Social
Security disability benefits and long term disability benefits under Union Electric
Company’s disability plan on account of a severe and continuing mental disorder. In
1994, Little applied to return to his janitorial position. When Union Electric rejected

In support of this assertion, the Plaintiff presented to the Court certain affidavits, which, in conjunction with the other uncontested facts of this case, show that the following events transpired in this case:
The Plaintiff is engaged in the business of selling construction materials and products. The Defendant, who operated under the business name of K.C. Enterprises, was a customer of the Plaintiff. In the year 1997, the Defendant took delivery of certain construction materials, on credit, from the Plaintiff. These construction materials, which had a retail value of Eight Thousand One Hundred Two and 14/100


fund, for the benefit of the person making the payment, contractors, laborers, subcontractors or materialmen, and the contractor or subcontractor shall be considered the trustee of all funds so paid to him for building construction purposes.
With respect to the debt at issue in this case, it is clear that the Defendant was a contractor and the Plaintiff was a materialman for purposes of the above statute. However, notwithstanding the initial applicability of the Michigan's Building Trust Fund Act to the Parties' transaction, an issue, as the Plaintiff acknowledges, arises in this case by virtue of the fact that the Defendant was compensated for his services, not in money, but by the forgiveness of a debt. In particular, as Michigan's Builder's Trust Fund Act only applies to a "fundby the Act. Accordingly, to exclude the applicability of the statute solely on the grounds that the Defendant was compensated for his services by the forgiveness of a debt, instead of in actual money, would clearly run contrary to the Act's intentions. In fact, to hold otherwise would create an unintended loophole in the law, as any party(s) wishing to avoid the operation of Michigan's Building Trust Fund Act could, through creative accounting practices, simply designate the payment of certain construction services as the forgiveness of a debt, notwithstanding the fact that money was contemporaneously paid to the contractor for his or her services. Thus, for these reasons, the *128 Court finds that the Defendant was subject to Michigan's Building and Trust Fund Act, and was thereby acting


mortars, light machine guns, AK-47 rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and materials for making roadside bombs from Iran. These weapons are allegedly shipped into Afghanistan through the common border between Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Journal reported. Toward this end, the drawdown of U.S. troops from Afghanistan has also helped smugglers, who can now cross the porous border undetected.

Shia-majority Iran and the Sunni militant group Taliban have long been foes and almost came to a full-blown war in 1998 when Iran deployed more than 70,000 troops along the Afghan border in response to the killing of its diplomats. The Iranian officials were allegedly killed by the Taliban, which was then in complete control of the Afghan government. A full-scale conflict in the region was prevented only after the United Nationsintervened.

However, recent reports have hinted at the formation of an alliance between the two ideological foes, spurred by the rise of a common enemy in eastern Afghanistan.

“Iran seeks to counter Daesh [ISIS] with the Taliban,” an unnamed Afghan security official told the Journal. ISIS, which currently controls regions in Syria and Iraq, has the potential to unite splintered militant groups in Afghanistan under a common banner, Nicholas Haysom, the U.N. envoy to Afghanistan, warned in March. Earlier in January, local militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan had released a video, claiming that several groups from the two countries had pledged their allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph of ISIS.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The Indonesian government on Wednesday banned Hizbut Tahrir, an Islamic organization that wants to establish a global caliphate, under a new presidential decree criticized as draconian by rights groups.

Hizbut’s legal status was revoked to protect national unity, said Freddy Haris, a director-general at the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
