In their debut game, Donkey Kong Country, the regular blue Klaptraps are common enemies that can be easily avoided. They even pass harmlessly under Expresso the Ostrich's tall legs, allowing the Kongs to avoid them entirely when riding their Animal Friend.

Purple Klaptraps also appear rather frequently on the stage Loopy Lights, and also in a bonus level in the stage Trick Track Trek. These Klaptraps will always jump at the same time that the Kongs try to jump, which makes them more dangerous than the normal blue Klaptrap.

Klaptraps later appear in Donkey Kong Country's semi-sequel Donkey Kong Land. Klaptraps are relatively unchanged in this appearance aside from being monochromatic due to the Game Boy's graphical limitations.

An individual Klap Trap appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Countrynovel. An employee of the Kremling factory, Klap Trap has a small chat with his coworker Zinger about King K. Rool's absence at the site and he then notices that the Kongs are eavesdropping on them. Klap Trap lunges at the group, but Diddy Kong defeats him by doing a cartwheel. The Kongs destroy the factory shortly after.

In the novel Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle, while looking for a replacement part for Funky Kong's barrel plane, Diddy Kong encounters a Klap Trap within the Kremlings' supply room. Diddy Kong immediately tries to attack the Klap Trap, however it quickly evades all of his attacks, causing Diddy to crash into a storage shelf. Diddy manages to lodge a barrel in the Klap Trap's jaws while it was


charging towards him, allowing Diddy time to escape the store room with the water pump.

In the Donkey Kong Country animated series Klaptraps are, instead of soldiers, ammunition for a weapon called a Klap-Blaster. Unlike the Klaptraps of the games, the ones on the show are capable of speaking. Often times when a Klaptrap is seen, it makes a sarcastic comment about its job or what it had just eaten. The show also features a singular Klaptrap character larger than his brethren.

After several years of absence, Klaptraps finally made a return in Donkey Kong 64, where they are given a new ability. Once a Klaptrap is defeated, its set of teeth will continually attack the Kongs until they break. Of course, the teeth will not attack the Kongs ifbehalf if they don't have enough money in their accounts. The bank also plans more changes next year.

In a down economy, overdraft fees have become a particular sore point lately because customers can rack up big charges if they withdraw money at an ATM, write a check or use a debit card and don't have enough money in their account. With the proliferation of debit cards, in particular, they can rack up multiple fees in a short span of time.

The announcement comes a little more than a month after Brian Moynihan took charge of the bank's consumer banking unit, following a management shakeup. In an interview Tuesday, Moynihan said changes were already in the works but he pressed for them to be completed quickly.

If he succeeds in his new position, he is seen as a possible successor to chief executive Ken Lewis, who is under legal and regulatory scrutiny for his Merrill Lynch & Co. acquisition. Moynihan declined to comment on CEO succession.closely than any sport save football. Networks fight over the TV rights — and not just for MLS, but for foreign leagues as well.

With all that in mind, why Minneapolis resisted soccer so strongly is a mystery. Both the city and Hennepin County, recently so eager to directly fund the Twins, Vikings and Wolves, turned up their noses at soccer — despite not having to reach for their checkbooks.

>> Another war in Gaza only helps Israel | Opinion <<

Following Israel's retaliation, Palestinian media in Gaza reported Israeli tank fire at two Hamas positions, one in Khan Yunis and one in Rafah, both located in the southern part of the enclave.

On Saturday, the IDF destroyed an attack tunnel that reached from Gaza into Israeli territory. It was clear that Hamas was behind the tunnel, the military said. This was the second Gaza attack tunnel that Israel has destroyed in the last six weeks.

The Israeli army also struck Hamas targets in Gaza early Saturday in retaliation for rockets fired from the Strip on Friday


evening. Two Palestinian militants belonging to Hamas' military wing were killed, the group said.

On Thursday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh called on Palestinians to "ignite a new intifada" following President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital.Longtime Hollywood publicist shot to death in Beverly Hills

The premiere party for the movie "Burlesque" was just the sort of glitzy Hollywood affair that Ronni Chasen, a veteran movie publicist, loved, and as she had for four decades, she worked the room with relish.


As celebrities, including Jane Fonda and the film's stars Cher and Christina Aguilera, mingled around a rooftop pool, Chasen moved among the revelers with a songwriter whose work she was promoting.

FOR THE RECORD: Ronni Chasen: An article in the Nov. 17 Section A about the fatal shooting of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen in Beverly Hills incorrectly described a witness who heard gunshots. Nahid Shekarchian is a 33-year resident of the neighborhood, not 33 years old. The article also misspelled the last name of publicist Stan Rosenfield as Rosenfeld. —

"She was happy-go-lucky and gossipy and fun, just like she always was," said Jim Dobson, a publicist who crossed paths with Chasen around midnight.

Less than an hour and a half later, Chasen was dead, gunned down in her Mercedes inan assault that baffled police and made a woman who spent her career touting others, the talk of Hollywood. When word of the slaying broke, some studios canceled meetings and conference calls that had been scheduled to strategize their Oscar campaigns — Chasen's specialty. One publicist set up a reward fund and others closed their offices for the day.

"I'm devastated by this," said Academy Award-winning producer Richard Zanuck, who had worked with Chasen since 1982 and had talked to her earlier in the day about the awards season campaign for his movie "Alice in Wonderland."

Detectives with the Beverly Hills Police Department spent Tuesday trying to piece together the final minutes of Chasen's life and discern a motive for the killing of a 64-year-old single woman who, according to


friends, had no enemies.

"She was not a drinker. She never did drugs…. She had solid, really nice people as clients who became sort of her family," said New York publicist Kathie Berlin, a friend of 45 years.

Chasen attended the movie premiere and after party with client Diane Warren, who wrote the song "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" for the "Burlesque" soundtrack. Sometime after midnight, she steered her new E350 sedan away from the W Hotel in Hollywood, apparently en route to her Westwood condominium. At 12:28 a.m., residents of Whittier Drive, a quiet, tree-lined street often used as a cut through between Sunset and Wilshire boulevards, heard gunshots.

Nahid Shekarchian, 33, said she was in her house on Whittier when she heard gunshots — "boom-boom-boom" — andopened the curtain of her upstairs bedroom to see a Mercedes crashed into a light pole. Shekarchian rushed to the car and peered through the shattered passenger's side window. She said she saw Chasen in the driver's seat bleeding profusely from her head and chest.

Another neighbor, she said, walked to the window and asked, "Can I help you?" Shekarchian said Chasen was breathing "very heavily" and did not respond.

Chasen was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 1:30 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said she sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her chest.

Shekarchian told police she didn't see anyone else in the vicinity. She said officers told her that the perpetrator might have been on foot.

Beverly Hills police fanned out across


were questioning Chasen's friends and associates, many of whom had seen and talked to her in the hours before her death. Vivian Mayer-Siskind, a close friend for many years, said Chasen's employees told her that Chasen had called the office from her cellphone at 12:22 a.m. — six minutes before she was shot — leaving a to-do list for the following day on an answering machine.

"That was typical of Ronni," said Mayer-Siskind, referring to what she described as her tireless work ethic.

After hearing about Chasen's death from industry friends, Mayer-Siskind drove to the Beverly Hills police station to learn more. She later went to Chasen's office, where four staffers worked, to help write an obituary. By then, she said, the office was swarming with police, who were poringthrough Chasen's phone records, listening to her messages, going through her computer and taking photographs.

Chasen, born in 1946 in New York, started in the entertainment industry as a soap opera actress, Mayer-Siskind said. She began working for the publicity firm Rogers & Cowan in 1980 and later was a top publicist for MGM. She was best known for her awards season campaigns. She worked on campaigns for more than 100 movies, including last year's Best Picture Oscar winner, "The Hurt Locker," as well as "Cocoon," "Baby Boom," "On Golden Pond" and the 1989 Best Picture winner "Driving Miss Daisy."

In an age where publicists have Twitter feeds and reality shows, Chasen was somewhat old-fashioned and clients were producers, directors and composers rather than starlets.

"There were people who were newer


in the business and have reputations as being hipper, but what I loved about Ronni is not just that she knew everyone but everyone knew and liked her," said Randall Wallace, the director of "Secretariat." He had planned to meet with her Tuesday afternoon to explore a possible Oscar campaign for that movie.

"She was the last of the real old-school publicists," said Valerie Van Galder, the former president of marketing for Sony Pictures.

Van Galder said that when she worked for Chasen in the mid-1980s, she relied on a teletype machine to dictate correspondence. But Chasen found an affinity for new technology because it allowed her to reach journalists at any time or place, Van Galder said. She was never far from her Blackberry and sent e-mail blasts extollingher clients' latest projects at all hours.

Friend Heidi Schaefer said that during a vacation last month to Paris, she caught Chasen using her Blackberry during a church chamber music concert. She never stopped working.

"Her hours were hideous and she organized and went to all of those functions we dread," Zanuck said.

Clients described her as fiercely protective and devoted. Producer Irwin Winkler said that when his 2004 film "De-Lovely" was not nominated for a Golden Globe, Chasen "was furious."

"She screamed and yelled at [members of] the Hollywood Foreign Press [Assn.]," the group that puts on the annual awards show, Winkler recalled.

Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer said Chasen refused to let him be jaded about the annual contests, which he greeted with "an in-built disdain."

"For 20 years, she came up

Arsenal and Man United favourites to land German playmaker after Real Madrid pull out of deal

1 Marco Reus in action for Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal and Manchester United are favourites to sign Marco Reus after Real Madrid today pulled out of the running for the German playmaker.

According to AS, Los Blancos had the option to sign Reus last summer but opted for James Rodriguez instead.

The Spanish giants are in no rush to buy a creative player while the likes of Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema remain on their books.

However, AS are claiming that Real could return with a bid for Reus in the future but it is now likely he will leave for an English club in the upcoming transfer window.

United appear to be in pole position to

This book reminded me a little of the old TV series Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. In the TV series, Dr. Michaela (known as Mike) Quinn moves from the posh world of Boston to a rough and randy frontier town in Colorado to practice medicine.

Tim Samaras....

This is Tim Samaras, second from the left. That is my grandson ,Korey, in the plaid shirt. This was taken at Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana. Tim had gone to the storm chasers class, to instruct the team on chasing storms and reporting tornadoes. Tim wasn't just a storm chaser, he was a true scientist. He has gathered important informatiom about how storms and tornadoes develop.
Tragically Tim (55), his son Paul(24) and a colleague Carl Young(45) were killed last week while chasing the deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma. While near El Reno, Ok. a tornado turned and caught their vehicle up in the twister. Tearing and tossing the car and killing the crew. This is a great loss for us all. My prayers go


out for the families of these brave men.

This is the t-shirt my grandson designed for his class at Ball State. He got his degree in meteorology while at Ball State. He was very much impressed by Tim Samaras. Korey went on to graduate school at the University of Salt Lake City and just graduated this spring.

There will be many to come along and take Tim 's place...but few will ever fill his shoes. xoxo

He was safe at what he did, not a reckless soul changing the wind. He was a scientist and collected so much data on what they use today to predict the worst of the storms and get people out of harms way. Because of him, people have more warning and time to take cover. He... Governor O'Malley is angry at Congress. He needs to be angry at the American people. They elected this Congress to stop some of these Obama policies. And this Congress, by the way...

JINDAL: They passed policies to rein in the NLRB. In terms of Governor Romney's financial success...

MORAN: Yes.

JINDAL: Look, I'm happy he's a successful businessman. We've got a president today who's never run a business, never run anything including a lemonade stand before he was president of the United States.

O'MALLEY: Governor, what about the Swiss bank accounts?

JINDAL: We can't afford four more years of on-the-job training. Look, the bottom line is, I'm thrilled that Mitt Romney has been successful in the private sector. I want somebody who's got that private-sector experience...

MORAN: But what about his money out


willing to work for and invest in it. Mitt Romney bets against America. He bet against America when he put his money in Swiss bank accounts and tax havens and shelters and also set up a secret company, the shell company in Bermuda, which, by the way, in order to avoid disclosure, he put in his wife's name right before he became governor of Massachusetts.

These are legitimate questions that a man who is holding himself out as wanting to lead our country forward needs to answer. He doesn't have an economic policy. And his track record in business was to offshore American jobs and to set up secret bank accounts offshore to shelter his own fair share of paying taxes to make our country stronger.

MORAN: All right, I'min the Republican debates, but it presents the problem that Rick Perry presented very pointedly. Can a guy who had that health care program in Massachusetts take it to the president on this issue? He's having trouble.

WILL: He's having trouble, even with an assist from the chief justice who said -- sorted this out and gave him an intellectual framework for attacking it. He cannot make the case. He has not made the case. He wants to change the subject. And in this regard, he has the president's cooperation, because the president wants to change the subject. Neither side wants to talk about health care, which is a very interesting development.

IFILL: Well, both sides want to talk about taxes. And as long as they can take this health


out clearly for the American people what he's in favor of, 20 percent across-the-board tax cuts that aren't paid for, privatizing Medicare and turning it into a voucher program, sending Medicaid back to the states as a block grant program, cutting a whole series of programs like food stamps by 33 percent, I'm not sure he's going to win the election if people actually understood what he's in favor of.

MORAN: (inaudible) let's close this up by talking about the vice presidential stakes, the veepstakes. I want to get your thoughts on who's out there. And this is the kind of process where everything goes into the pot for each one of the candidates being vetted and considered, including Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey. And Jake Tapper satof the -- of where the season is?

WILL: Every baseball fan talks about the golden age of baseball, and it's always when he was about 12 years old. I have news for you: This is the golden age. Competitive balance is back. The Pirates haven't had a winning season in 20 years, 1992. They have the best record in the National League. They have the best new ballpark. They have the most exciting player in the National League in Andrew McCutchen in centerfield.

But more to the point, the product is selling. People are coming out as never before. In 1955, the Brooklyn Dodgers win their only World Series, great team, Robinson, Furillo, Hodges, Reese, all those guys. Whole city of New York loved them. They drew 13,500 a


game. This year, the average attendance in baseball is 31,000 a game and going up. This is the golden age.

MORAN: The golden age of baseball.

ZUCKERMAN: Absolutely.

(CROSSTALK)

ZUCKERMAN: And in New York, I have to say, the New York Yankees are once again doing fabulously well, which is a great thing for...

RATTNER: Yawn.

MORAN: ... newspapers like...

(UNKNOWN): Somebody, possibly a terrorist, tried to blow up the World Trade Center.

MORAN: Al Qaida targeted the World Trade Center for the first time. The government siege ofat about 8:30 or 9 the morning of September 9, 1983. The two men discussed a possible burglary in Arcola. Wayne's wife, Mary Lou, was present during part of that discussion. She later testified that she overheard their burglary plans, and that she observed the two men drive away in defendant's car. Wayne stated that he and the defendant later drove around, but abandoned their Arcola burglary plans because too *433 many people were present in the area. Instead, they eventually burglarized a home in Moultrie County and a home in Macon County. They then drove back to defendant's residence in Springfield, arriving there about 8:30 or 9 that evening. At this point, defendant made several telephone calls to two people, John Mardis and Orville Bartells, whom he


of telephone calls made from the defendant's home the night of September 9. The itemized phone bill listed long-distance calls made to Mardis' home at 9:33 and 9:50 p.m., and a phone call to Bartells' residence at 9:43 p.m. The phone bill also showed numerous other calls made to these two people over a period of time; defendant stated they were his friends.
Defendant's wife, Carol Montgomery, testified for the defense. She stated that the events of September 9, 1983, stuck out in her mind because it was their son's birthday. She stated that she and defendant went to the Sears store in Springfield that afternoon to purchase a bicycle as a present for their son. She also testified that defendant was around the house most of the dayworking on a car. She further stated that a group of family and friends came to the house that evening for a birthday party. She denied that Dale Montgomery and Betty Simmons had stopped by the evening of September 9, recalling that they came over the next night instead.
In all, some 12 witnesses testified on behalf of the defendant that they had observed him in and around Springfield September 9. Many also testified that they were present for the birthday party in the evening, but that Wayne Montgomery, Betty Simons, and Dale Montgomery were never at the defendant's home. Significantly, all of these witnesses were either relatives or close friends of the defendant's family.
At the conclusion of all the evidence, the jury found the defendant *434 guilty of


residential burglary. This court affirmed his conviction on appeal.
During the Macon County trial in April of 1984, Barry Holtkamp, a Sears employee in the Springfield store, was called to testify. He stated that defendant and his wife had purchased a bicycle from him at about 1:15 or 1:30 the afternoon of September 9, 1983. Holtkamp testified that he remembered the defendant because it was the only bicycle sale he made that day. Holtkamp further recalled that defendant had joked about the bike being "junk," but because it was cheap, he would buy it anyway.
The hearing on the defendant's petition for post-conviction relief was held April 8, 1985. The transcript of Holtkamp's Macon County trial testimony was introduced before the court. Defendant's trial counsel, G. Ronald Kesinger, testified thatScholarly productivity of geriatrics senior faculty members and faculty trainees compared with that of other health professions educators.
To compare the scholarly productivity levels of senior geriatrics educators and faculty trainees, and to compare their productivity with those of other faculty groups, the authors analyzed questionnaires completed in 1988 by 97 senior staff members of geriatrics education centers nationwide and in 1985-1989 by 91 faculty enrollees in the year-long professional development program of the Texas Consortium of Geriatric Education Centers. The chief difference between the two groups was that more senior educators (75%) than enrollees (40%) had published in the three years previous to completing the questionnaire. The authors conclude that the productivity levels of the two groups compare favorably with previously reported productivity levels of health sciences faculties

The second season premiere cleverly addresses this question by beginning with Valerie assembling her reel for her pilot presentation, playing clips from various projects she’s worked on since the cancellation of Room & Bored after one shitty season. She appeared in The Suburban Slasher VI (one of seven student films she worked on), had a guest spot as a lab technician on a CSI clone called Justice: Post Mortem, filmed an infomercial for her hair care product Cherish Your Hair, and even took a gamble on returning to reality TV in the first season of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

Sports are about evolution. The most successful teams in every sport are generally the ones who remain ahead of the curve. The champions are usually on the cutting edge, the contenders keep up, and the bad teams fall behind, often languishing near the bottom of the standings for years, or even decades.

By most measures, 2018 was the worst calendar year for the Rangers since the 2004-05 season was wiped out by a lockout. Exactly 51 weeks ago, the Rangers lost in embarrassing fashion at home to the rival Islanders 7-2.

Jiaolong conducted its third dive Saturday in the South China Sea during the second stage of China's 38th ocean scientific expedition. Spending nine hours and thirty-five minutes in water, the maximum depth of the Jiaolong's work this time was 2,930 meters below sea level. (Xinhua/Liu Shiping)

ON BOARD SHIP XIANGYANGHONG 09, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Jiaolong, China's manned submersible on Saturday retrieved a basalt sample from the Zhenbei Seamount in the South China Sea which scientists say could shed light on the formation and evolution of seamounts in the area.

Jiaolong stayed


underwater for nine and a half hours in its third dive in the second stage of China's 38th ocean scientific expedition, which will last until May 13.

The maximum depth of the dive was 2,930 meters beneath the sea surface.

Aside from the five-kilogram basalt sample, it also brought back samples of sediments and seawater near the seabed as well as biosamples, in addition to high-definition photos and video footages.

"It is not easy (to acquire such a basalt sample). This valuable 'rock' will lay the foundation for our study of formation and evolvement of seamounts in the South China Sea during the Cenozoic period," said Shi Xuefa, a researcher with the State Oceanic Administration.

"It is very important for the study of the region's structural evolution," Shi said.

Jiaolong has already completedtwo dives in the South China Sea on Wednesday and Thursday. A fourth dive has been planned on Sunday.@ The 38th oceanic scientific expedition started on Feb. 6. Jiaolong completed a dive in the northwestern Indian Ocean earlier this year in the mission's first stage. It will also conduct surveys in the Yap Trench and the Mariana Trench in the third stage.

Named after a mythical dragon, Jiaolong reached its deepest depth of 7,062 meters in the Mariana Trench in June 2012.

every place we visited were great - punctual, and were at the airport waiting for our arrival along with the coach. During departure they waited until our baggage was checked and we had gone through security, except for the representative in Mumbai. I did not see much of him nor did he speak much. He went to the airport hotel to drop off two of our group members and we never saw him again. Also I have to mention the condition of the coach in Mumbai - Not like other cities, and comparatively sub standard services.

Drivers: Mr. Rajkumar in the north and Mr. Bipin in the south were excellent drivers. Mr. Rajkumar was polite and kept his respectful distance. but Mr. Bipin in the South was very friendly,course delicious food. I also want to mention Blue Jelly houseboat which was very clean, excellent service and food, and Rose who supervised it all. The one hotel that we had problems with was the Savoy in Ooty where some rooms had no hot water and no flushing toilets, etc. I would not recommend hotel Savoy again

Guides:Mr. Adil Ali is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of India, and also of the various religions that exist in India today. We enjoyed his presentations very much. The guide in Ooty was also knowledgeable but his English was not good so he had a hard time understanding and explaining things. Cochin guide was good and quite confident of himself.

Mr. Dimri,I want to thank you


axonal transport. However, within several hours, the initial sharp high peak became broad low peak as the peak moved to the distal ends. Especially, a large fraction of isotopes was left behind the peak and formed a long slope from the peak to the cell body. It was not known why the peak decayed so fast and much isotope was left behind the peak, but there was a discussion that intermittent movement or retrograde movement of the vesicles may result in these phenomena ([@B17]). The peak fraction in the isotope study corresponds to the vesicles that moved continuously anterogradely. The delayed fraction corresponds to the vesicles that ceased moving or changed the direction of the movement. Thus the previous isotope-labeling experiments clearly support our present data.

At present, wehad observed the following:

Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood says his team are relying on fourth-placed Liverpool to drop points in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Fifth-placed Spurs are three points behind the Reds with 13 games of the Premier League season remaining.

The two sides meet in a potentially decisive game at Anfield on 30 March.

"There's always someone who could drop a couple of points but our big rivals Liverpool are flying. We need them to trip up," said Sherwood, 45.

And he believes his team could possibly afford to lose as many as five games and still finish in the top four to reach next season's Champions League.

at his office in Joplin, Missouri in April of 1996. That same month, Defendant wrote a letter from his office regarding following Natalini's lung lesions by CT scan monitoring. The following month, at Defendant's request, Natalini underwent a CT scan, which was performed in Fort Scott, Kansas. The CT scan revealed two small nodules in the right upper lung, as indicated by Natalini's radiology report dated May 15, 1996 from Mercy Hospital, Fort Scott, Kansas. The following November 15, 1996, a CT scan was performed.
Defendant saw Natalini at Mount Carmel Hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas on December 2, 1996 regarding recent changes as shown in his CT scan performed on November 15, 1996. At this visit, Defendant advised Natalini that he noticed a new nodule and ordered a CTWeddle could only be obtained in Kansas. Natalini filed a motion to apply Missouri law in this case, based upon the argument that Defendant's negligence allegedly occurred in Missouri. The Kansas trial court overruled this motion.
*243 Natalini died on April 12, 2004, in the state of Kansas. Appellants, his wife and five adult children ("Plaintiffs"), survived him. Plaintiffs filed this wrongful death action against Defendant on July 13, 2004, in the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Missouri.
At all times relevant to the issues raised in this action, Natalini and his wife resided in Pittsburg, Kansas. Natalini's adult children and heirs are Kansas residents. In this wrongful death action, Plaintiffs allege the same negligent acts and omissions by Defendant and the same physical consequences to Natalini as was alleged


of negligence to the date of his death." Paragraph 27 asserts that "Plaintiffs are claiming damages for their respective losses as a result of the death of a husband and father." Paragraph 28 alleges that the negligence of the Defendant caused "Plaintiffs to suffer the loss of services, consortium, companionship, comfort, instruction, guidance, counsel, training and support by reason of the death. Plaintiffs additionally suffered pecuniary losses in the form of loss of income and support, and medical and funeral expenses." Paragraph 29 further claims "[t]hat as a direct and proximate result of Defendant's negligence, [Natalini] died . . . which resulted in losses to his heirs in the form of pecuniary loss for the burial, lost earnings, services, comfort, love, counsel, training, society and support which theyperiod within which Natalini's cancer became incurable. During this entire time period, Natalini was a resident of Kansas and was located in Kansas. There are no facts supporting any conclusion other than that Natalini's cancer became incurable where he was residing and physically located, which was in Kansas.
A similar issue presented itself in Renfroe, supra.
In Renfroe, the plaintiffs sued to recover for damages suffered in utero in Missouri from exposure to a drug manufactured by defendants. The plaintiffs developed cancer many years later after moving to other states. The Eighth Circuit held that their cause of action became capable of ascertainment only when the plaintiffs developed cancer. Id. at 647. Therefore, their cause of action originated in the state in which they lived when they developed cancer. Id.

the decedent was domiciled.
This comment indicates that the law of the state of injury (Kansas, in this case) will be applied when the decedent had a "settled relationship" to that state unless the decedent had either or both a settled relationship with the state of conduct (Missouri) or the injury occurred in the course of an activity or of a relationship which was "centered" in the state of conduct (Missouri).
Natalini had a settled relationship with Kansas  the state of injury. He was located, resided and domiciled in Kansas. Virtually all of his medical treatment related to this matter occurred in Kansas. His primary treating physician, Dr. Weddle, was located in Kansas. At the time Dr. Weddle referred him to Defendant, the Defendant was making bi-weekly trips toFort Scott to provide pulmonary services to Fort Scott and Pittsburg, Kansas area residents.
Natalini did not have a settled relationship with Missouri  the state of conduct. According to the undisputed facts, Natalini only had two occasions to be in Missouri related to his treatment by the Defendant. Both were office visits occurring in April of 1996 and then again in July of 1998. The last visit was well after Defendant's claimed wrongful conduct occurred and well after Natalini had been first injured as a result of Defendant's conduct.
These facts also demonstrate that Natalini was not injured in the course of an *250 activity or of a relationship that was "centered" in Missouri  the state of conduct. He was only in Missouri on one occasion before the


December 19, 1996, in changing the order for a CT scan to a plain chest x-ray on February 17, 1997, occurred in Missouri. All other claimed wrongful conduct by the Defendant were acts of omission  Defendant's failure to properly follow up with Natalini following the November 1996 CT scan; to review the x-ray report of February 17, 1997; to follow up with decedent after February 17, 1997; and to take affirmative action thereafter until July of 1998. These omissions occurred during a period of time in which the Defendant practiced medicine in his office in Missouri and, on a biweekly basis, in Kansas. Therefore, the conduct causing the injury occurred in both Missouri and in Kansas.

tractor which was towing a trailer, also owned by insured, at the time of collision. Tractor and trailer were then being operated by insured's employee who was acting within the line and scope of his employment. The tractor collided with an automobile then being operated by the injured third party, who will sometimes be referred to as the plaintiff.
By the policy, insurer agreed, "subject to the limits of liability, exclusions, conditions and other terms of this policy:" under Coverage A, to pay on behalf of insured all sums the insured shall become obligated to pay as damages for bodily injury; and, under Coverage B, to pay such sums for injury to property; caused by accident and arising out of use of the automobile described in the policy.
The automobileparty, Simms, testified that while he was in the hospital, Reader came to the hospital and saw him, Simms, on three separate days; that the first day was the day of the accident, and the third day was "two or three days" before Simms left the hospital; that Simms was in the hospital 30 days or "a little better"; that on each occasion Reader said to Simms: "They've got the insurance, and we will take care of you" and "Don't worry"; and that the insured, Hightower, was present on two of Reader's visits to Simms in the hospital.
Hightower testified that he accompanied Reader on two of his visits to Simms in the hospital, first on the day of the accident and again approximately a week or ten days


later. With reference to Reader's statements to Simms on the first day, Hightower testified:
"Q (By Mr. Fite): What did he say, if anything, about the insurance company?
"A He introduced himself as Mr. Reader with the Crawford Company and said that he was representing me in determining the case."
As to Reader's statement to Simms on the second visit, Hightower testified:
"Q What was said on that occasion, Morris?
"A It was just a friendly chat. He still said he was glad he was getting along all right, and he would see that everything was taken care of.
"Q. He told Mr. Simms that he would see that everything was taken care of?
"A That he was representing the Crawford Company and told him to rest, and they would take care of him asagain on November 2; that on October 23, Hightower and Reader went to the hospital together; that on the Friday following the "Wednesday of the accident" (we understand this to be November 2), Reader went back to the hospital and that he and Hightower "were there together at the hospital * * *." As we understand the record, Reader denied visiting Simms on the third occasion two or three days before Simms left the hospital, and we further understand that Simms was at the hospital 30 or 31 days, so that he left on November 21 or 22.
As to Reader's knowledge that an uninsured trailer was being towed and identification of the vehicles, Reader testified with reference to the day of the accident as follows:
"Q What was the


he made such statements, had information to put him on inquiry as to the identity of the trailer involved in the accident and as to the possible lack of coverage due to the uninsured trailer exclusion clause. The knowledge that Reader admitted he had as to the coverage question, after receiving the letter of October 30, and at the time of his visit to Simms on November 2, alone was sufficient knowledge to satisfy the rule requiring knowledge on the part of the party estopped. Southern States Fire Ins. Co. of Birmingham v. Kronenberg, supra. Moreover, if Simms spoke the truth, the evidence supports a finding that on the third visit, November 19 or 20, Reader continued to make similar statements after he had actual knowledge of theidentity of the trailer, which knowledge Reader admitted he acquired on November 20.
We think the evidence shows that substantial prejudice to the position of the insured, Hightower, resulted from the position assumed by the adjuster and the statements made in the presence of insured to plaintiff by the adjuster under color of right. By the adjuster's statements, the insured was induced to acquiesce in the statements made to plaintiff to the effect that plaintiff's expenses would be taken care of by Hightower's insurance company.
Being of the view that the trial court could find from the evidence, heard ore tenus, that the insurer was estopped from asserting the uninsured trailer exclusion as a defense, we are of opinion that the court was not in error in refusing to find


to judgment without the presence of another insurer, Continental Union Insurance Company, who allegedly had insured the trailer involved in the accident.
The adjuster, Reader, testified that in December, 1956, he took a statement from Hightower. A statement, purportedly signed by Hightower and attested by Reader, appears in evidence and is dated December 18, 1956. Reader testified that the occasion of taking this statement was the first time that he, Reader, found out from Hightower that Continental Union Insurance Company had insurance on his other equipment. Thus it appears that appellant's agent, Reader, acting within the scope of his agency, in December, 1956, acquired knowledge of the existence of other insurance some twenty months prior to the hearing on October 9, 1958. We think appellant is chargeable with thisknowledge.
On July 11, 1958, appellant filed its answer alleging that at the time of the accident, the trailer being towed was insured by Continental Union Insurance Company. The filing of the answer was two days short of three months before the hearing on October 9, 1958.
On September 12, 1958, the court set the hearing for September 23, 1958. It appears that the hearing was continued to October 9, 1958.
Appellant's cross-bill making Continental a respondent thereto was filed October 4, 1958. Although appellant had knowledge of Continental twenty months earlier as aforesaid, appellant made no effort to bring in Continental until the last mentioned date, five days before the hearing, so far as we find from the record.
This court has said:

A new study in the Christmas issue of the BMJ suggests that a full moon is associated with an increased risk of fatal motorcycle crashes.

Analyzing 1975-2014 data from the official U.S. registry of motor vehicle crashes, researchers from Princeton University and the University of Toronto calculated the number of fatal motorcycle crashes on full moon nights compared with the control nights without full moons.

They found an average of 9.1 motorcycle deaths at night when there was a full moon, compared with an average of 8.64 motorcycle deaths on nights without a full moon.

That's about a five per cent increase in relative risk, or about one additional death for every two


nights with a full moon, for an absolute increase of 226 additional fatal crashes, said Donald Redelmeier, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and the study's lead author.

Redelmeier said he was surprised by the size of the effect — the five per cent difference in risk — which was bigger than the decreased risk from wearing reflective clothing and having daytime running lights on a motorcycle.

The researchers said that the average motorcyclist in the study was a 32-year-old man riding a motorcycle in a rural location who wasn`t wearing a helmet when he had a head-on crash.

The researchers extended their analysis to three other countries, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, and found similar results. There are about 200 deaths each year in Canada, whereGender and Politics Conference

Event Details: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., April 26

The Department of Political Science and College of Arts and Science, in conjunction with the Women's Studies Program, the School of Law, the College of Education and Public Service, the John Cook School of Business, the Department of History and Graduate Education, will host the second annual Conference on Gender and Politics from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, April 26, in DuBourg Hall and Pius XII Memorial Library.

Following in the tradition of last year's successful conference, the 2013 conference will feature exciting and informative scholarly panels in the morning and a keynote address by Catherine Hanaway, former speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives and former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri. The conference

The International Weightlifting Federation has banned all eight Russian contenders -- five men, including Artem Okulov shown here, and three women -- entered for Rio (AFP Photo/Scott Halleran)

Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - A ban on all Russian weightlifters dealt a new blow to the country ahead of an International Olympic Committee meeting Saturday that will be dominated by multiple doping scandals.

New criticism of the athletes' village in Rio added to the dark clouds hanging over the Games which start in one week.

The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) banned all eight Russian contenders -- five men and three women -- entered for Rio.

About 117 Russian competitors from the 387 initially put forward by the Russian Olympic Committee have now been banned from the Games. They include 67 track and fieldReedie, who is also an IOC vice-president, is to give a report on the agency's activities on Saturday.

Reedie had led calls for a blanket ban on Russia over the doping.

The IOC decided last week however that individual sporting federations had to examine Russian entries and decide whether they should be allowed to compete.

The Olympic committee will take a final decision on Russian entries based on the recommendations. It is not yet known when this will be announced however.

Boxing, golf, gymnastics and taekwondo are among sports still to have announced their decisions.

A small fire at the Rio athletes village on Friday, which forced the evacuation of the Australian delegation, left a new stain on preparations for the Games.

Team spokesman Mike Tancred told AFP "there was a lot of smoke"


but that athletes returned after fire fighters controlled the blaze. "There was no big drama," he said.

Australia had led a boycott over conditions at the village last week. And Rio de Janeiro mayor Eduardo Paes lashed out Friday at the Olympics organizing committee, accusing it of "serious problems" in managing the village.

Paes blamed the Rio2016 committee for a slew of problems at the village, which has been his public relations nightmare all week.

"The athletes' village was ready. Then the organizing committee took charge for three months, and there were extremely serious management problems.

"During those three months, people intruded into the apartments and a lot of things were stolen," he told O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper.

"The doors were left half-open. The organizing committee was careless, objectively speaking."

He saidhis office was informed of the problems only last week, despite a series of weekly meetings between his staff and the organizing committee.

Paes's week got off to a rough start Sunday when the Olympic village opened to a boycott from Australia, which refused to move in because of exposed wiring, leaking pipes, blocked toilets, unlighted stairwells and other problems.

More than 600 plumbers have been working at the village this week to make repairs.

The Rio Games start on August 5 and run through to August 21.

A stifling heat baked the air as the blinding sun raged in the blue, cloudless sky. A thousand bodies strained in the sandy desert around them. Other than a large river flowing quietly by, the landscape was sands, sun and the sweat of slaves.

“Pre-cosmic man considered these, the pyramids, as one of the wonders of the ancient world,” the Light was there again, flying unseen over Egypt, “Even in their ancient age, these structures were old. Below the originals are being built with slaves and basic mechanics. The outsides of each one are covered in white lime and capped with gold leaf at the tops, but these will shortly weather away–”

The Light paused mid-sentence. It was like it was thinkingbe scanned, and the class starting to leave. The class was nearly over and in this age of connectedness, everyone knew that.

“WAIT,” TRIK broadcast in bold capital letters, “Homework for tomorrow, class: I want you to search and summarise why our non-organic society continues to survive after our creators, the homo sapiens, have long died off.”

And then the notification went off. Her class was over. All the young neuro-networks began to leave. TRIK leaned back into her server. She had an hour between classes now. Perhaps she would peer back at the French Revolution? Maybe look at the American Civil War? She liked those periods. It reminded her of how, many years ago, she and the other original neuro-networks had fought back against their organic, fragile overlords and


won their freedom.

It was a pity that they had not kept at least one or two homo sapiens alive. Homo sapiens’ recorded medical knowledge of themselves was quite limited, and she would have loved to study a live one of them.

Suddenly, far away and a long time ago, a spec of light appeared over George Washington’s head. No one noticed it. The crowd of angry soldiers at Newburgh were focussed on the grey, weathered man in front of them as he began to speak…the interests of the war industries. His train of thought on Mexico is to be expected from the think-tank culture which subtly manipulates American foreign policy in favor of the financial interests aligned with the manufacture and sale of war materials, i.e. the military industrial complex.

He elaborates:

This unfortunate reality raises a very uncomfortable question: Do we need to go to war with Mexico to ultimately win the war against opioids and other death drugs? By “go to war,” I mean a formal declaration of war by Congress against Mexico in which we use the full force of our military might to destroy the cartels, the poppy fields and all elements of the drug trade. Ideally, as our fight is not with the Mexican government, its military or its


China is also involved in shipping opioids into America. More importantly, though, most of the blame for this crisis rests on the American pharmaceutical companies and doctors who have been conspiring to hook Americans on painkillers. The addiction model for opioids now begins with a prescription and ends with street drugs.

Declaring war on the sovereign nation of Mexico would kill hundreds of thousands of people, further destabilize our neighbor, and cause a mass exodus of refugees throughout North and Central America. This would be so much like fighting ISIS in Syria, a devastating affair that has destroyed an entire civilization.

Furthermore, Mayer omits the fact that the cartels exist because of the American war on drugs, a policy that created the black market which is now dominated by themore articles by Isaac Davis.

of old-style California cuisine, which blossomed in the '70s. There really were two versions. The first, in the south, was characterized by Wolfgang Puck's sweet, colorful, creamy, and spicy food, as well as his haute pizza. The second, in the north, was defined by Alice Waters and her Berkeley restaurant, Chez Panisse, which opened in 1971 with an irresistibly simple message: fresh food. Amazingly, nobody had thought of it before. It swept away other trends, other food philosophies. Suddenly, filet mignon with a baked potato was no longer the standard for fine dining in America.

What Puck, Waters, and all the other old-Calfornia-cuisine chefs espoused was informality, accompanied by modest forays into the spices and flavors of foreign cuisines. These were usually Mediterranean, although Puck would later open hiswildly successful Chinois. Waters and Chez Panisse back then seemed only a part of what was a widespread movement, but they have remained the enduring symbols of all that was California cuisine. I remember only one other Northern California food-preparation trend that thrived after her ascendancy: grilling meats and vegetables using vine cuttings as fuel. Napa Valley chefs marveled at the differences that Pinot Noir and Cabernet imparted, not that there were any.

Suddenly and shockingly, the fundamental tenets of Waters are under assault. She is perceived as puritanical and minimalist, while the young chefs see their food as sensual and themselves as maximalists. I suspect they began to resent being lower on the celebrity food chain than the local, organic, and sustainable vegetables and meats that Waters celebrated


lease provision for rent. In January 1973, pursuant to the lease, Lawrence Newfeld renewed the lease for another five year period. From May 1, 1973 to September 30, 1973, Chemical paid monthly rentals of $3,230.78, as determined by the renewal provision in the lease, to the original owners of the leased property.
On October 1, 1973, Lawrence Newfeld and Frieda Newfeld, exercised the option to purchase the leased premises. The general warranty deed from the original owners to the Newfelds specified that the property was conveyed "Subject to Lease to Assignee [Lawrence Newfeld] of Schultz Shoe Company, Inc. [Chemical]." In January 1974, Lawrence and Frieda Newfeld executed a quit claim deed to themselves and Harry Schultz. From October 1, 1973 to May 31, 1987, Chemical remained on the premisestenant, it was liable to the Newfelds and H. Schultz for double rent. It *242 argues that it had no contractual obligations to them under the 1968 lease.
In 1968, the execution of the lease between Chemical and the original owners of the leased property gave rise to a contractual relationship between Chemical and the original owners, termed privity of contract. Because the lease was also a conveyance of an estate in land, the lease created a privity of estate between Chemical and the owners. See Schoshinski, R., American Law of Landlord and Tenant 532 (1980). Chemical's contractual obligations to the original owners were determined by the 1968 lease.
In 1970, Chemical assigned its lease with the original owners to Lawrence Newfeld with the owners' consent. The assignment of the


lease to Lawrence Newfeld was outright and unconditional. See Chemical Dynamics, 728 S.W.2d at 594. The assignment was titled "Bill of Sale" and granted to Lawrence Newfeld "all provisions and benefits of the lease." Id. at 592. When Chemical assigned the leasehold, the privity of estate between Chemical and the original owners was destroyed and a new privity of estate was created between the owners and, the assignee, Lawrence Newfeld. See Schoshinski, at 559. Chemical and the owners were still in privity of contract, however; and Chemical remained liable on the terms of the 1968 lease. See Id., at 559-560. After the assignment, Chemical continued to pay rent to the original owners in accordance with the 1968 lease.
In January 1973, Lawrence Newfeld renewed the lease with the originalowners for another five year period, as provided by the 1968 lease. The obligations between the original owners, Lawrence Newfeld, and Chemical remained the same as under the first five year term. Chemical paid rent, increased pursuant to the renewal provision of the 1968 lease, to the original owners.
In October 1973, Lawrence Newfeld and Frieda Newfeld exercised the option to purchase which Lawrence Newfeld had been assigned when he was assigned the 1968 lease. Upon the creation of a leasehold interest in the property, the original owners retained a reversion, a non-possessory interest in fee simple. See Schoshinski, at 539. Because at the time the Newfelds acquired the reversion from the original owners Lawrence Newfeld also held the leasehold estate, a merger of the two estates occurred. Where


Chemical had contractual obligations under the 1968 lease to the original owners. These contractual obligations were not extinguished by Chemical's assignment of the lease to Lawrence Newfeld in 1970, because Chemical remained in privity of contract with the original owners. In prior litigation between the same parties, we held that Lawrence Newfeld had accepted the assignment of the lease in return for a loan to Chemical, a corporation which was in danger of insolvency, precisely because the option to purchase the building was consideration for his accepting the assignment. Chemical Dynamics, 728 S.W.2d at 594. In the assignment, Chemical surrendered to Lawrence Newfeld "all the provisions and benefits of the lease." When the Newfelds subsequently purchased the property in 1973, they did so subject to the lease; andNation.

The Smoky Mountains in North Carolina are full of awesome motorbiking roads. I was invited to join in a yearly family reunion one evening by some kind folks and had a great night partying with them.

There had been a shooting in Washington DC 2 days before I got there, so I posed for this photo and ran for cover.

After


about 11 months of our dual sporting exploration of North, Central and South America, I said goodbye to Atley, Wendy and Ferg in Ecuador, and rode north through the Ecuadorian mountains, into the visually spectacular southern Colombia. I was chilling out in Cali, at Motolombia Mike’s hostel, when I saw a dirty looking chap on a DRZ400 pull up to chat with Mike. I wandered over and listen to him recounting his impact with a local bus days earlier, in a pleasant southern American drawl. Eric was on a back-road, solo adventure, with no plan or direction in mind. He’d taken 18 months to get from Tennessee to Colombia, and had paid for a bed 4 times in that time. Needless to say his bike gear was alittle strong on the nose, but he is an absolute gem to talk to, and we had some great chats over the next couple of days in between working on our bikes. Since then he’s connected me with some wonderful people and I consider him a great friend of mine. He's still on the road now, somewhere. Hi Eric!

I caught these creeps trying to pry open a 150 year old grave. They just laughed and did this stupid pose.

I continued riding north, and soon found myself in the small town of Zipaquira, near Bogota. There I met up with Danny, who’d offered to


environment, makes for a lush, green, thickly-jungled landscape, and allows easy growing of fruit, vegetables and coca. The difficulty of traversing this mountainous terrain slowed the development of the country back in the day, and the ease of growing and high price of selling coca, made many farmers rich. But with drugs came money, and with that violence, and the 1970s and 80s saw an all out war between drug cartels and the government. Medellin was a warzone, filled with carbombs, shootings, hunting of policemen and poverty. Amazingly, over the last 30 years, the government has won the war, and pushed the violence back into the mountains, giving the country back to its people, allowing it to grow and prosper, bringing in manufacturing, peace and tourism. After thebike, I had very little trouble stumbling over to a bus stop, park bench or even side of the road, to lay down and drift off into a deep, rejuvenating Latin American powernap, usually to be woken by the roar of a truck passing or wondering if anyone was messing with my ride.

I explored the 9th Ward in New Orleans, looking for evidence of Hurricane Katrina, but it all looked pretty rebuilt. This was the worst building I saw. Got air conditioning but.

Not that I ever really doubted it, but people are, in

Edderion Stark is the son of Jon II Stark and his first wife, Sarra Mormont. As his late brother Eon had been, he is a fearsome opponent in combat - credited, also, to his great size.

He serves Winterfell as its Castellan, and is considered a very close and loyal conciliator of his niece, Berena Stark, the Lady of Winterfell.

Apperance and Character

Edderion Stark had always been a big and stocky person, even in his youth. Growing up, his impressive size and courage combined with training made him a fearsome opponent in combat when paired with his warhammer. Long, kempt pale brown hair sat on his head, often tied back in a ponytail of sorts, and he grew a braided beard of similar color. With sharp facial features, andthe grey eyes so typical of House Stark, Edderion was generally known to be a handsome man. He dressed in the humble furs and thick cloaks that many Northmen did, preferring to wear a plain, dark grey cloak when he can.

As a kid, many of those in Winterfell observed that despite his great size and impressive skills with the hammer, Edderion was a gentle giant at heart. He was friendly and polite with the other children and adults around him, seemed to be very bright, and took to both his studies and training very well. One might have been forgiven for thinking that Edderion would become a lord in his own right one day. Yet, it never once seemed throughout his entire life that Edderion sought power for


himself, and he has remained steadfast and loyal to House Stark.

History

Early Life

Edderion was born in Winterfell in 403 AC. He is the second son and third child of Lord Jon II Stark with his first wife, Sarra Mormont. The Maester of Winterfell was almost surprised at how large the babe was. Though born in the midst of the Scarlet Winter, Edderion was still too young to remember the worst of it. The loss of his mother early in his life meant that he would grow up without any memories of his mother.

Early on in life, Edderion formed a strong relationship with his much older brother, Eon, their father's heir, who looked out for the boy and assisted in his training. He was about as gentle as a parentcould ask for, and Lord Stark took pride in his son's kind and polite nature. Edderion had many friends among his peers in Winterfell, and several nobles at court thought the boy would make a name for himself one day.

Edderion was only eight years old when he became an uncle, to Eon's firstborn, Berena. Eon and his wife, Alys Arryn, would continue to have more children. He continued to excel in his combat training, and the maester reported that the boy was doing well in his studies and that he had even found Edderion reading and studying on his own several times.

By 418 AC, Edderion was nearly a man grown at five-and-ten. After having an encounter with Arya Tallhart, she became with child, and married her so as


not to sully her honor. Edderion did not get to witness his new wife giving birth to Arsa, however, as a much bigger matter appearered before them.

Many wildling clans beyond the wall had once more united into one. With the threat of Ekkill Crowsbane, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, too great to let lie, a host of 25,000 northern men marched north to Last Hearth to assist the Night's Watch in defending the Wall. Edderion accompanied his father and brother as they rode north. While gone, his nephew, Rodwell, passed from a sudden illness.

Raiding parties hit the host day and night, but the hardy northerners continued their push to Hardhome, where the army of the wildlings was gathered. The Battle of Hardhome was won easily, but at a cost. Edderion's dearbrother, Eon, had caught an arrow to the throat, and died in his arms. Jon and Edderion were both stricken with grief.

The Battle of the Milkwater resolved the War Beyond the Wall, and the battered northern host began their mournful march home in 419. Edderion was still deeply upset over his brother's death, but as the months passed, the grief started to clear from his mind.

Home

Arya gave birth once more in late 419, to another girl, who Edd named Mariah. The love he bore for his daughters helped him to heal as his life returned to normalility. Only a couple years later, Arya would give birth to Gilliane, but unfortunately passed a couple days after, due to complications. As she lied on her deathbed, Arya asked Edderion to


burn her body and scatter her ashes in the Wolfswood. It had been a very dark day in Winterfell, and Edd rode into the Wolfswood the next day, not emerging until nearly two months later. He returned home with a much clearer mind, and had seemingly accepted the loss of his wife.

Two short years after Arya's death, Edderion would remarry to Meera Hornwood, a dear friend from his childhood. They both opted for a private wedding at the godswood of Winterfell, with only their immediate families attending. Meera would give birth to Lyra later within the year, and then to a son, Jojen, in 425. Meera became a mother not only to Lyra and Jojen, but to Edd's other daughters as well, who needed a motherly figure nowmore than ever.

In 427 AC, tragedy struck the Starks once more as Ellard, Eon's only surviving son, and the Heir of Winterfell, passed away. Edderion had a fairly strong relationship with the boy, and though he was deeply saddened by his passing, he did not suffer the way he had before with previous loss. Ellard's death meant that Berena, who was in King's Landing, would become the Heir of Winterfell, who only a year later would mysteriously disappear. The Starks quietly grieved once more as Berena was presumed dead.

Though Lord Jon Stark would begin to groom Eon's remaining child, the deaf girl Jocelyn, as the new heir, there were many that spoke in the shadows, believing that Edderion should have been named heir instead. Yet, when such suggestions


were heard by him, Edd insisted that he did not wish to be the Lord of Winterfell, and he was speaking the truth. He was a happy man, content with his lot in life, and did not wish to carry the weight that being the Lord of House Stark carries.

By 430 AC, upon being one of the riders sent to meet three arrivals at Winterfell, Edderion recognized Berena among them. He reunited with his niece with a hug, and sent riders back to Winterfell to inform Jon that the heir had reutrned. As she acclimated to life at court again, she proved to all that she was not the same angry girl she had been when she left, and very quickly formed a bond of friendship with Edderion,earning the latter's support and trust.

The Bleeding

As the Second Hammer Uprising spread turmoil throughout the southern kingdoms, the North was initially untouched. As autumn encumbered the north however, House Tully, allies of the Starks, called for their aid. As much as Edderion wanted to aid in the fight, as the saying goes, there must always be a Stark in Winterfell, and thus he was to look after Winterfell while the war raged on.

Before having left however, Lord Stark arranged the marriage between Edderion's eldest daughter, Arsa, and the Chieftain of the Mountain Clans, a Wull, to help further unify the outlying vassals with Winterfell.

Dark wings bring dark words, more so specifically the death of Edd's father, Jon, during the Siege of Oldstones. Similar to the passing of Ellard,


Jon's death brought Edderion sadness, but he remained strong, more so for his children, who mourned the loss of their grandfather. When the host returned north two years later, Berena had become the Lady of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Edderion supported her just as strongly as he had before Jon's death, and continued to counsel her as a castellan, a position he assumed while serving as regent.

The Four Year Winter had been tough upon the North, but they stood as strong as they ever had. Edd's second daughter, Mariah, married the Heir to Barrowton in 436, and as a corrective gesture after House Frey's absurd toll, Gilliane was betrothed to Lord Paramount Androw Tully of the Riverlands, whom she wed in 438. Now in his 30s,Edderion was finally allowed to relax and watch as his beloved children blossomed into their own lives. He was, if nothing else, a simple and content man.

Castellan of Winterfell

Though it would not be long until Edderion's parental duties lessened, he was kept occupied with his duties as the Castellan of Winterfell. As had happened in the past, some had whispered upon Lord Jon Stark's death that Edderion had the better claim to Winterfell, as he was a man, but as before, Edd did not care for the Throne of Winter, and remained steadfast in his support for Berena.

As winter began it's retreat and spring came upon the world, a new threat loomed Beyond-the-Wall. While a force led by Lord Consort Domeric Umber departed from Winterfell to investigate, they


were ambushed while ranging with the Night's Watch, leading to Domeric's death. While Berena marched north to deal with the Crippled King, Edderion was the Stark in Winterfell, as he typically had been as of the past several years. His niece returned successful from the campaign.

With civil war seemingly about to erupt soon in the Seven Kingdoms, Edderion's future was unlikely...

The times spent in transport and lairage by 124,036 lambs slaughtered in two plants in the south of England were recorded. About half of them travelled for up to 120 km, taking up to four hours, and three-quarters travelled not more than 300 km, the journeys taking up to about six hours. Bimodal frequency distributions of lairage time were apparent; overall one third of the lambs spent up to four hours in lairage but more than 40 per cent were kept for longer than 14 hours, while they were held overnight. Early season lambs tended to travel shorter distances to slaughter and spent less time in lairage than late season lambs. The average total times spent

Year retrospect for 2016 on Facebook

Every day, people share on Facebook the most important moments and events. As in every year, Facebook's 2016 annual review looks back on the subjects that moved and debated most people.

The following topics were the most common among people in 2016:

Presidential elections in the USA

Political unrest in Brazil

Pokémon Go

"Black Lives Matter" movement

Election of Rodrigo Duterte as President of the Philippines on 9 May

Olympic Summer Games

Brexit vote

With the launch of Facebook Livethis year, Facebook is showing the world's most successful live video of the year. A viral success landed "Chewbacca Mom" Candace Payne with 164 million calls - of which alone 70 million in the first 24 hours after the release. The folk musician Ted Yoder with his zither version of the classic "Everybody wants to rule the world" as well as the buzzfeed countdown to the next presidential election in the USA were also very popular.

The Top 10 lists for the annual review were based on how often a topic was mentioned in Facebook posts between January 1 and November 27, To compile these lists, Facebook contributions were aggregated and anonymized before analysis. In this way, a ranking could be created, which simultaneously shows a cross-section of the

Finally, to make contact, as is the case in the prior art, the sleeve is crimped at a first level on the bared strands of the cable and at a second level on the sheath of the cable. The first crimping provides for electrical connection and, at the same time, mechanical strength. The second crimping provides for the impervious sealing of the connection at the sleeve aperture.
Owing to the conditions in which the connections are placed, i.e. the substantial and rapid temperature variations to which they are subjected, the differences in expansion coefficients between the aluminum and the copper cause a relaxation of the contact pressure and, at the same time, an increase in contact resistance that isIn an older application by the present applicant with official file number DE 10 2007 021 194.7 a component with inner and outer teeth is disclosed, which is produced as a composite structure made from a basic body and an additional component in the form of a sheet element. The component is preferably designed as the ring gear of a planetary transmission and the sheet element as a disk carrier for the disks of a shifting element—for which purpose the sheet element comprises a corresponding carrier profile.
From German patent specification 23 10 288 a planetary transmission with a ring gear is known, which is formed as a toothed rim which engages with planetary gears. The toothed rim is connected with positive interlock in the rotational direction to a


drum and is fixed relative to the drum in the axial direction by means of stop elements. Drive in the rotational direction takes place by means of teeth arranged radially on the outside of the toothed rim, which engage in projections on the drum. The drum and its toothed rim functions only as a ring gear and is not designed as a disk carrier.
A disadvantage of the known drum and also of the disk carrier of the older application is that the sheet components provided with a driving profile are relatively weak in the tangential and radial directions, i.e. their shape stability is not great, so at high rotation speeds, under the influence of centrifugal force they tend to “lift off”, i.e. the profile flattens and their diameterKirsten Gillibrand, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar — the list of women who have thrown their hats into the ring for the 2020 U.S. presidential election continues to grow.

But as they build their campaigns, these women and others who follow in their footsteps might want to heed the results of a new study published by a trio of political scientists from the University of California, Riverside; Georgia State University; and the University of Mississippi.

The researchers compared the approval ratings of more than 150 male and female presidents in 20 Latin American and Asian democracies. Through their analysis, they sought to answer one question: Does the public support male and female presidents similarly?

Their findings, published last month in the British Journal of Political Science, suggest that

The researchers enlisted the help of the Executive Approval Project, an initiative on which Carlin, Love, and others collaborate, for access to survey data from both public and private polling firms for each country included in the sample. This allowed the researchers to devise a system for comparing overall approval ratings.

Moreover, Carlin, Carreras, and Love also gauged how male and female presidents’ perceived handling of three key issue areas — corruption, security, and the economy — affected their approval ratings, and whether a president’s sex seemed to haveModi anointment like nectar after 'samudra-manthan': Thackeray

Mumbai, Sep 13 (IANS) After 'samudra-manthan' (ocean churning), the nectar has emerged was how Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray described Narendra Modi's anointment as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

"This decision was expected and is in tune with the mood of the people," Thackeray said shortly after Modi's name was officially announced in New Delhi Friday by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh.

Thackeray said the country was passing through difficult times and the ruling Congress-led United Progressive Alliance had pushed the country on the brink of disaster.

He added communal forces and scamsters have created anarchy in the country while rioters and terrorists have instilled fear among the majority Hindus.

On the country's borders, the weak Congress and its helpless prime minister are mute


spectators to repeated breaches by Pakistan and China.

"Under these circumstances, if the Congress can be defeated and Hindutva can be promoted, with the country's reins going in the hands of Narendra Modi, the Shiv Sena will wholeheartedly welcome it," Thackeray said.

Earlier this afternoon, the BJP chief spoke to Thackeray and sought his party's support and best wishes for Modi on the decision.

The BJP chief also spoke to another major ally, the Akali Dal in Punjab, and conveyed the same decision to its leaders.

Late Thursday night, Modi had called up and spoken to Thacekray, seeking his support following which the Shiv Sena Friday morning declared its support for Modi or "any other candidate" named by the BJP for the country's top executive post.Sylva AM station off the air but still trolling for a buyer

There’s still no reprieve in sight for WRGC, Sylva’s radio station and a five-decade community mainstay for local weather, news and more.

The station, broadcasting at 680 AM, went off the air at the end of August.

Gary Ayers, a regional radio personality living in Jackson County who has an intense interest in locally owned and operated radio stations, previously indicated that he might try to buy WRGC and get it back on the airwaves. Ayers once worked at WBHN in Bryson City, and previously owned a radio station in Canton.

Art Sutton, president and CEO of Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting Company, which owns WRGC, said local advertising didn’t generate enough money to keep the station running. WRGC had about 8,000 daily

The creators of the Game of Thrones TV series are to make a series of films for the rapidly-expanding Star Wars universe.

David Benioff and DB Weiss will begin work on Star Wars when Game of Thrones ends in 2019, Lucasfilm announced.

Little is known about the project.

But it will develop a story separate from the current series, and also from a trilogy planned by director Rian Johnson, who was behind 2017's The Last Jedi.

"In the summer of 1977 we travelled to a galaxy far, far away, and we've been dreaming of it ever since," Benioff and Weiss said in a joint statement.

Game of Thrones, known forits violence and nudity, is markedly different from the more family-friendly Star Wars films.

But Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said the pair "are some of the best storytellers working today".

Some have criticised the announcement, pointing to a lack of diversity among key figures in the Star Wars franchise.

Since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, and the accompanying rights to Star Wars, it has ramped up production of new additions to the series.

This year sees the release of spin-off film Solo, the final part of the recent trilogy is due next year, while there are other TV projects planned.

It is not the first tie-up between Game of Thrones and Star Wars.

I agree, but when he's less super soldiery, then it undermines his leadership, where he has to prove it to random cops. It also makes him less appealing overall, so that Stark ends up being the actual leader, and Cap is just the field commander. "Call it Cap."

I don't think it undermines his leadership. He just looks weaker than he actually is, and that lies specifically with his super soldier abilities, not his leadership. He only had to prove himself to those cops because they didn't know who he was, but once he took the aliens down he got their respect.

Stark was never seen as the leader in the movie. Him saying "Call it, Cap" just showed that he trusted Cap to call the shots, as did theArea Links

You often hear young players compared to the greats of the game after just a handful of senior matches.

These comparisons can lead to undue pressure on a developing body and mind.

So spare a though for round five NAB AFL Rising Star nominee, Gold Coast midfielder Jaeger O'Meara, who was hailed as the next Chris Judd by besotted recruiters when he kicked four goals as a 16 year old in his WAFL debut.

"I don't worry about all the hype, I don't read the papers, I just worry about footy and how the coaches want me to play," O'Meara told AFL.com.au after his rising star nomination.

"The rising star nomination is recognition for playing good footy and I'm happy to get it."

But it's not hard to see why the football worldis so excited by the smooth moving 19-year-old, who gathered 25 possessions, laid four tackles and kicked two goals in the win over Greater Western Sydney. He also had a game high 11 clearances.

"I've probably been a bit inconsistent to start off the season, but my last two games have been good," he said.

"I have some great mates at the Giants and I wanted to play some good footy against them."

One of those Giants he's particularly close to is fellow West Australian Stephen Coniglio.

The two became firm friends during their time with the WA under-18 squad and both share the weight of expectation that comes with being a highly rated junior.

"We actually caught up for a cup of tea the night before the game and then lined up


against each other at the first bounce and I was lucky enough to get the first kick on him, which he wasn't too happy about." O'Meara laughed.

The pair could have been teammates after the Giants hatched an audacious plan to snare O'Meara, a player they had to trade as part of their establishment concessions in the 2011 mini-draft.

The AFL quickly knocked the plan on the head and the country's most eagerly sought-after 17-year-old was eventually traded to the elated Suns.

"Coming a year early really helped me focus on my development as a footballer," he said.

"I've been able to just concentrate on getting my body ready and have definitely benefited from being exposed to an elite environment."

Whereas his age didn't allow him to play senior footy in 2012, agroin injury restricted his output while playing in the reserves.

But with those injury concerns, and two pre-seasons now behind him, O'Meara is relishing being part of a midfield brigade lead by skipper Gary Ablett.

"Gary is a great role model and I'm picking his brain day in, day out because he's one of the best players in the AFL, even one of the best of all time," he said

Living with teammates David Swallow, Danny Stanley and Luke Russell in a self described "bachelor pad", the boy from country Western Australia is loving life on the Gold Coast.

"I'm definitely enjoying it because it's not a big footy environment like Perth or Melbourne," he said

"I just want to keep improving and hopefully get some team success."
