The conclusion, reached in an analysis of Kronos published by security firm Malwarebytes, by no means proves or disproves federal prosecutors’ allegations that Hutchins wrote Kronos code and played a role in the sale of the malware. It does, however, clarify speculation over a Tweet from January 2015, in which MalwareTech—the online handle Hutchins used—complained that a complex piece of code he had published a month earlier had been added to an unnamed malware sample without his permission.

The 176th (Niagara Rangers) Battalion, CEF, was a unit in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Based in St. Catharines, Ontario, the unit began recruiting in January 1916 in Lincoln and Welland counties. Their training ground and campsite was situated on Spring St., Niagara Falls, where Memorial School was built in 1921. The unit left Niagara on 24 April 1917 bound for England. Upon arrival, the battalion was absorbed into the 12th Reserve Battalion. The 176th (Niagara Rangers) Battalion, CEF, had one Officer Commanding: Lieutenant-Colonel Donald Sharpe.

After the war, the perpetuation of the battalion was assigned to the Lincoln Regiment in 1920, and then to the Lincoln and Welland Regiment in 1936.

GALVESTON, Texas – A lifeguard supervisor with the Galveston Island Beach Patrol, Mary Stewart, says she was patrolling the beach Saturday. Waves were choppy, winds were strong and five people were swimming too deep.

"They were out too far and weren't strong swimmers and they panicked," Stewart said.

Stewart says the area between the Pleasure Pier and the jetty is typically a dangerous place to swim, but she says Saturday it was almost hopeless as she tried to rescue a group of drowning visitors and they were beginning to overpower her.

"I would just go under to regain my breath and strength and grab back onto them," Stewart said.

Fighting to stay in control, she says she experienced a wave of strength.

This assent to or belief in the truth received upon the divine testimony has always associated with it a deep sense of sin, a distinct view of Christ, a consenting will, and a loving heart, together with a reliance on, a trusting in, or resting in Christ. It is that state of mind in which a poor sinner, conscious of his sin, flees from his guilty self to Christ his Saviour, and rolls over the burden of all his sins on him. It consists chiefly, not in the assent given to the testimony of God in his Word, but in embracing with fiducial reliance and trust the one and only Saviour whom God reveals.

Encroaching Syrian Conflict Pits Hezbollah Against Jabhat al-Nusra

Author: A correspondent in BeirutPosted April 18, 2013

Three months ago, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned that the West is indirectly attracting al-Qaeda members to Syria to be killed there, thus achieving two significant goals by weakening the Syrian regime and creating a genocide for al-Qaeda.

Summary⎙ Print Border villages of Hezbollah-backed Shiites sympathetic to Assad are clashing with the Sunni Jabhat al-Nusra, reports an Al-Monitor correspondent in Beirut.

But there are those who believe that Nasrallah has fallen into the trap set up for al-Qaeda by the West andled by Washington.

Almost a month ago, Hezbollah slipped further into the gravitational pull of Syria's internal war. Almost daily, the body of at least one Hezbollah member fighting in Syria along with the Syrian regime was being returned to Lebanese Shiite villages in the South and in the Bekaa valley.

Information indicates that about 35 Hezbollah members have been thus far killed in Syria. They died in the Homs countryside, Zabadani — near the Lebanese border — and in the area of Sayyida Zeinab, which is located in the countryside south of Damascus.

According to the most recent information, a group of Hezbollah members fighting in area of the Sayyida Zeinab shrine were subjected to a major attack carried out by Jabhat al-Nusra a couple of days ago. This attack


led to heavy losses, leading Hezbollah to organize a counterattack to recapture the ground it had lost in the area of the shrine.

Hezbollah does not announce the deaths of its members all at once. It gradually announces them and the bodies are transferred to Lebanon in stages in an attempt to avoid a backlash from its social base against its participation in the Syrian war.

But the most important development related to Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian war is the start of direct battles between its armed groups deployed in the Lebanese city of Hermel and the village of al-Qasr, near the town of al-Qusayr, which is home to Lebanese Shiites as well as Sunnis and Christians, but located inside the Syrian border.

Jabhat al-Nusra has been shelling the villageof al-Qasr on a daily basis for several days, with the latest round of shells hitting the village square. Two days ago, the shelling killed a boy who was returning from school.

The most dangerous part about the al-Qasr battles is that they are transferring every single detail of the ethnic fighting in Syria to Lebanon. Al-Qasr is home to Lebanese Shiites who come from the same families in the Lebanese city of Hermel and the Syrian town of al-Qusayr. These families belong to tribes which still believe in revenge and in the rescue of relatives.

When Shiite people from al-Qasr village and al-Qusayr before them died, the residents of Hermel announced a public period of mourning in the city and received condolences. These developments show that the fighting between


Hezbollah can avoid being held accountable by its popular base regarding its involvement and the involvement of Lebanon's Shiites in a war in which they do not have a direct interest.

A few days ago, an improvised bomb was found in Hay al-Sellom in the southern suburbs, a stronghold of Hezbollah. Insults to Nasrallah and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad were written on the bomb with the signature of Jabhat al-Nusra. The bomb was found by the party's security service, and then the news was leaked to the media. Those closely following the issue doubt that Jabhat al-Nusra was responsible for the bomb. They tend to believe that Hezbollah planted it to suggest to the Lebanese Shiites that Jabhat al-Nusra is chasing them into Lebanon, and that Hezbollah did notLong and thin, the redrawn state senate district in Massachusetts stretched from near Boston to the New Hampshire border, where it hooked east along the Merrimack River to the coast. It sliced up Essex County, a political stronghold for the Federalist Party – all by design of its ascendant political rival, the Democratic-Republicans. It worked: the freakishly shaped district elected three Democratic-Republicans that year, 1812, breaking up the county’s previous delegation of five Federalist senators.

It wasn’t the first time in American history that political machinations were behind the drawing of district boundaries, but it would soon become the most famous.

Gerrymandering, the politicians’ practice of drawing district lines to favor their party and expand their power, is nearly as old as the republic itself. Today, we see it in


Ohio’s “Lake Erie Monster” and Pennsylvania’s “Goofy Kicking Donald Duck.” But where did the name come from, and who was the namesake for the much-maligned process?

Elbridge Gerry, the governor who signed the bill creating the misshapen Massachusetts district, was a Founding Father: signer of the Declaration of Independence, reluctant framer of the Constitution, congressman, diplomat, and the fifth vice-president. Well-known in his day, Gerry was a wild-eyed eccentric and an awkward speaker, a trusted confidant of John Adams and a deep (if peculiar) thinker. He could also be a dyspeptic hothead—a trait that got the better of him when he signed the infamous redistricting bill.

A merchant’s son from the port town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, Gerry had wanted a different kind of fame—the immortality that comes with founding adefined Gerry’s role at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. He spent its first two months arguing for less democracy in the new government than his colleagues were willing to support. For instance, Gerry argued against directly electing congressmen to the House of Representatives. In the convention’s second half, he took a different tack, arguing that the proposed central government would be too powerful.

Gerry refused to sign the Constitution—“as complete an aristocracy as ever was framed,” he complained – in part because he thought the standing army and the powerful Senate could become tyrannical. He became an Anti-Federalist, arguing that the Constitution had gotten the balance of power between states and the national government wrong. Gerry’s peers, and some historians, have dismissed his stance at the convention as inconsistent.


the 1810 gubernatorial election.

Though Gerry resisted joining a political party in the 1790s, in the 1800s he cast his lot with this new party, which supported a less centralized government and favored France over Britain in foreign policy. Like many Democratic-Republicans, Gerry came to believe that the Federalist opposition were too close to the British and secretly wanted to restore the monarchy.

At age 65, Gerry ran for governor, motivated by “his obsessive fears about various conspiracies underway to wreck the republic,” according to Billias. In his 1810 inaugural address, Gerry called for an end to partisan warfare between his Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists. But as the United States edged toward war with Great Britain in 1811, Gerry decided that Federalists’ protests against President James Madison’s foreign policy hadIt looked like a salamander, another dinner guest noted. No, a “Gerry-mander,” offered poet Richard Alsop, who often collaborated with Tisdale. (An alternate origin story, which Dean found less credible, credited painter Gilbert Stuart, famed portraitist of George Washington, with drawing the monster on a visit to a newspaper office.)

Tisdale’s drawing, headlined “The Gerry-mander,” appeared in the Boston Gazette of March 26, 1812. Below it, a fanciful satire joked that the beast had been born in the extreme heat of partisan anger—the “many fiery ebullitions of party spirit, many explosions of democratic wrath and fulminations of gubernatorial vengeance within the year past.”

The gerrymander did its job, giving the Democratic-Republicans a bigger state Senate majority in Massachusetts’ April 1812 election, even though the Federalists actually got more votes statewide.

"They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right," Kennedy wrote in the opinion.

"Sitting in the court room, once it finally stuck that Justice Kennedy was saying we had won," Obergefell remembered in a recent interview. "I realized for the first time in my life as an out gay man, that I felt like an equal American."

Since the opinion, Obergefell -- the lead plaintiff in the case -- says he's been stopped in the street and at times thanked


further questions to fight over," Baude said.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a dissent in Obergefell and foreshadowed future challenges.

"Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that may be seen to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage" the chief wrote.

Indeed, Phillips' faith is central to the upcoming arguments. One of his lawyers, Jeremy Tedesco of the Alliance Defending Freedom, said the new case -- that began before gay marriage was legalized nationwide -- will "test" the language of Obergefell.

"That people who disagreed with the redefinition of marriage, would be able to continue to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and act on those beliefs," he said.

All the way back to 1993, when Phillips decided to open his bakery, hethat would be performed in another state.

Phillips says he knew right away that he couldn't create the product they were looking for without violating his faith.

"The Bible says 'in the beginning there was male and female,'" he said.

For Phillips, his religious beliefs guide his decisions in every aspect of his life. So he cannot, in good conscience, create a cake for an event he says contradicts God's teaching, he said.

He offered to make any other baked goods product for the men.

The decision followed close on the heels of the re-release of the Lion King in 3D. That film is close to crossing the $80 million mark, according to Disney.

While $80 million may not seem like much — Pixar's Up made more than $730 million — it's a ton of cash considering the studio's minimal investment and the fact that most people have already seen the movie.

The extra cash in-hand has helped greenlight at least four other films including Beauty and the Beast (Jan. 31, 2012), Finding Nemo (Sept. 14, 2012), Monsters, Inc. (Jan. 18, 2013) and The Little Mermaid (Sept. 13, 2013).

Bautista battles adversity in hopes of postseason

With a little help, veteran slugger could have shot at compelling second-half surge

By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com

The .525 winning percentage the Blue Jays carried at the end of 2010, the year of Jose Bautista's 54-homer breakout, might be enough for a Wild Card spot, the way this strange 2014 season is unfolding. But at the time, it was good only for fourth place in the loaded American League East.

What followed for Toronto, in succession, were records of .500 in 2011, 16 under in 2012 and, famously, 14 under in a 2013 season that had begun with high hopes.

All of which is to say that Bautista's emergence as one of the most productive players of his generation has been all for naught, lostin the wilderness of frustrating finishes.

"I've been on plenty of teams in September where you're just waiting for the season to be over," Bautista said. "It sucks to have to say that, but it's true."

That's one reason why the Blue Jays' relevance here in the second half is so consequential.

Frankly, we don't know how many of these opportunities Bautista will have, and there has to be some school of thought that a Blue Jays team in many ways centered around the 33-year-old slugger must be opportunistic in its efforts to improve at the upcoming Trade Deadline.

A Blue Jays team that, just a short time ago, looked capable of slugging its way into October hit an offensive rut in early June -- a rut compounded by the current absences


over the weekend, he took groundballs at third base. Even if Bautista is an option at the hot corner on only a limited basis, the added flexibility would help manager John Gibbons, should the Blue Jays bring aboard an outfield bat before the Deadline.

As it stands, Juan Francisco has been seeing the bulk of time at third, and he's carrying a .188 average dating back to June 1. And generally speaking, a Blue Jays team with a .691 OPS against left-handers is in need of some right-handed thump. That explains why an unheralded outfielder such as the Padres' Chris Denorfia, who has posted an .809 OPS in his career against lefties, could be a worthwhile target for them.

The Blue Jays' other option, of course, is to simply standbut it’s best not to question the logic of the Roger Moore–era Bond films too closely.

Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – City of God, 2003

Fernando Meirelles’s tense gangster drama doesn’t make you want to visit the favelas of Rio, exactly, so much as it makes you thank the heavens you weren’t born into the same cycles of poverty and violence as its characters. But rarely has a film captured the distinctive energy and the life of a city so well. And there isn’t alooting of many homes; and everlasting damage to the reputation of the city of Tulsa and the State of Oklahoma. — Walter F. White, “The Eruption of Tulsa,” The Nation, June 29, 1921.

In 1921, the Greenwood district in Tulsa was a community of 15,000 Black people—a small city within a segregated city. There were working people, those who had fled the slave-like chains of sharecropping, veterans back from World War 1, as well as doctors and lawyers and business owners. Some called it the “Black Wall Street.” The white racists of Tulsa hated Greenwood, and the powers openly expressed a desire to drive the Black people out.

Almost 1,500 homes were also destroyed in the 35 blocks that went up in flames and over 300 Black residents murdered by


the Democratic created Ku Klux Klan-led Tulsa Race Riot.

On May 31, 1921, a Black shoe shiner named Dick Rowland rode an elevator operated by a white woman. When the elevator reached the lobby, some people allegedly heard the woman scream and saw Rowland run from the scene. No charges were ever filed against Rowland. But he was arrested and taken to the county jail.

The next morning, the headline in the Tulsa Tribune screamed out: “To Lynch Negro Tonight.” That night, a white mob of some 2,000 descended on the courthouse, intent on lynching Rowland. But then a group of Black men, some in World War 1 military uniforms, marched from Greenwood, courageously confronting the lynch mob. Shots were exchanged, and the Black men, greatly outnumbered, retreated to Greenwood.

University Hospital of Psychiatry, was headed by Karl Wilmanns, was the most fruitful period of the "Heidelberg School". 1933 was not only a political but also a psychiatric turning-point. Karl Wilmanns was one of the first of the well-known university teachers who was dismissed from office for political reasons. With his exit the Heidelberg School came to an end, and with it the discipline of psychopathology as a fundamental part of psychiatry- which had been the true progeny of that school. The references outline the influence of biological though on the "zeitgeist" of psychiatry. The contradictions, inhumanity and seduction of this line of thinking were not sufficiently recognised in all their aspects and consequences even by critical minds such as that of K.

Bitfinex and Tether share a CEO, Jan Ludovicus van der Velde, and the two entities had created controversy last fall over alleged price manipulation of Tether. The two companies reportedly received subpoenas from US regulators on Dec 6, 2017, with the impetus for the subpoenas still unclear.

Tether has also since been under some scrutiny from the crypto community after they dissolved a relationship with their New York-based auditor before an official audit was released. The “stable-coin” issuers recently minted 250 mln more USDT at the end of May, renewing debate about


whether Tether has enough cash reserves to back each token with one US dollar as they advertise.

The June 5 FOIA request, which was initially submitted in February, asked for "subpoenas issued to iFinex inc. also known as Bitfinex and it's [sic] subsidiary companies, as well as subpoenas issued Tether Limited and its subsidiary companies.”

The CFTC’s negative response to the request noted that it had "thousands of responsive records, all of which are exempt from the FOIA's disclosure requirement.”

The letter cited one FOIA exemption that disclosure could impede their law enforcement activities, as well as another that excludes the records on the ground that "confidential sources are not lost because of retaliation against the sources for past disclosures or because of the sources' fear of future disclosures."

In response toMother of Gardens

When the early 20th-century plant hunter Ernest H. Wilson published a book on his
collecting expeditions in China, he titled it "Mother of Gardens." China earned
this epithet for good reason: the country is home to some 31,000 native plant
species, a third more than the U.S. and Canada combined, and many of these
species are endemic to China. Yet a vast number of Chinese species could be
adopted in North America and Europe because the regions share similar climates.
Gardens throughout the world today are graced with flowering
plants—rhododendrons, forsythias, magnolias, camellias, primroses,
viburnums, and many others—that originated in China. In this slide show,
glimpse just a tiny sampling of some of the most stunning
transplants.—Susan K. Lewis

ROCK'S PEONY Paeonia rockiiWhile this particular species of tree peony was named for the Austrian-American
botanist Joseph Rock, who


found it in the mountains of western China in the
mid-20th century, Chinese gardeners have cultivated peonies since at least the
seventh century A.D. Many of the most beloved, double-flowered tree and
herbaceous peonies of today originated long ago in Chinese nurseries. The genus
Paeonia is not exclusive to China (some peony species are native to
western North America and southern Europe), but China's native species and
horticultural traditions have vastly enriched Western gardens.

DAWN REDWOODMetasequoia glyptostroboides
This prized redwood has been called a "living fossil" and is a testament to why
China's flora is so diverse. Like many other plants in China, this species
survived the last Ice Age, when glaciation wiped out similar flora in North
America and Europe. Until 1948, the genus Metasequoia was known only
from the fossil record, but a small stand of trees discoveredin the
Sichuan-Hubei region proved to belong to this ancient genus. Thanks to seed and
saplings collected in China, the dawn redwood now flourishes in gardens
throughout the world.

FORTUNE'S RHODODENDRONRhododendron fortunei
Europe has just nine native species of rhododendron; China has more than 600.
When China's floral bounty became available to Western horticulturists in the
mid-19th century following the end of hostilities between Britain and China,
rhododendrons became highly sought after because many could survive harsh
winters. The Scottish plant collector Robert Fortune discovered this species in
1856, growing at 3,000 feet in the mountains of eastern China. It was the first
Chinese rhododendron introduced to Britain and has spawned hundreds of
cultivated varieties.

DOVE TREEDavidia involucrata
When it blooms in the spring and a breeze rustles the long white bracts
(modified leaves) at the base of its flowers, it's clear why


Davidia
involucrata has the common names "dove tree" and "handkerchief tree." It is
still uncommon and prized in Western gardens, but in the 19th century it was
legendary. Around 1870, French missionary Armand David brought it to the
attention of Western nurserymen. But it wasn't until the turn of the century
that plant hunters, including Ernest Wilson, tracked down these trees and
shipped seed back from China.

PRIMULA WILSONII
This tall primrose with whorls of bell-shaped flowers was the first species
named for Wilson. (It is recognized universally by its scientific name and has
no common name.) Wilson collected it from the high alpine meadows of the
Hengduan Mountains in 1900, during the first of four expeditions to this rugged
region of southwestern China. Of the roughly 500 known species in the genus
Primula, which includes many commonly encountered species inWestern
gardens, nearly 300 are native to China.

REGAL LILYLilium regale
In grand botanical garden beds and countless humbler household plots, regal lilies reign supreme.
While ubiquitous today, the regal
lily's only natural habitat is a 30-mile stretch of rocky cliffs in a narrow
valley in the Hengduan Mountains. It is Wilson's most famous introduction, both
for its beauty and for nearly costing him his life. In 1910 a landslide
devastated Wilson's party as they were collecting hundreds of lily bulbs. A
falling rock shattered Wilson's leg and left him with what he later nicknamed
his "lily limp."

PAPERBARK MAPLEAcer griseum
The paperbark maple, while not as showy and celebrated as the regal lily, was
one of Wilson's introductions that the plant hunter himself favored most. Its
trifoliate leaves turn vibrant shades of red and orange late in the fall, often
retaining their


color well into winter. The common name "paperbark" refers to
the fact that the tree's cinnamon-red bark peels away from the trunk, an
ornamental attribute valued by gardeners.

PEACH TREEPrunus persica
Thousands of years before Wilson's time, China was exporting many of its
botanical treasures, and the peach tree is a prime example. Its species name,
persica, springs from the mistaken belief among European naturalists
that the plant was native to Persia. In fact, botanists now think that peaches
were introduced to the Middle East and Mediterranean regions along the Silk
Road as long ago as 2000 B.C. Other flowering trees with edible fruits,
including oranges, may have traveled a similar path.

CHINA ROSERosa chinensis
Roses are native to central and southern Europe as well as Asia and have grown

gardens in the West are now indebted to roses introduced from China in the late
18th and 19th centuries, for these roses carried genes that allowed them to
bloom repeatedly through the summer and into fall. The Rosa chinensis
"Old Blush" pictured here was one of them. Chinese gardeners likely created
this cultivar centuries before it reached Europe. Today, thousands of varieties
of repeat-blooming roses owe their parentage to roses from China.

Six Wildcats score tries in rout of Grand Canyon

Alex Solomon | January 12, 2016

BOULDER, Colo. – Following a week of two-a-days, Arizona’s first XV took to the pitch for its first game of the season and earned a 59-3 win over Grand Canyon University.

Junior center Shane Dempsey kicked off the Wildcats’ scoring barrage less than five minutes into the match with a converted try. Before the opening half would come to a close, danger man Dante Weeks dotted down, followed by scores from freshmen Steve Branham and Ryan Fitzpatrick to help produce a 24-3 halftime advantage.

“We were fairly pleased with a number of things, notably our attacking mindset and the results of our renewed emphasis on the finer points ofDonald Trump’s election has sparked a heated debate about the past, particularly over whether the Trump administration represents a continuum, if not an echo, of the protean origins of fascism. This is an argument that combines the resources of historical memory with current analyses of the distinctive temper of a new and dangerous historical moment in the United States. For instance, an increasing number of pundits across the ideological spectrum have identified Trump as a fascist or neo-fascist, while resurrecting some of the key messages of an earlier period of fascist politics. On the left/liberal side of politics, this includes writers, such as Chris Hedges, Robert Reich, Cornel West, Drucilla Cornell, Peter Dreier and John Bellamy Foster. Similar arguments have been made on the conservative side by writers,


has been replaced by the rule of major corporations and the financial elite. At the same time, the social cleansing and state violence inherent in totalitarianism has been amplified under Trump. Both Hannah Arendt and Sheldon Wolin, the great historians of totalitarianism, have argued that the conditions that produce authoritarian logics have persisted well after their mid-twentieth century expressions. Wolin, in particular, insisted in 2010 that the United States was evolving into an authoritarian society.

Recently, though, numerous critics have denied the persistence of fascism and totalitarianism. They have argued that Trump is either a sham, right-wing populist, or simply a reactionary Republican. Three notable examples of the latter positions can becurrent conditions exist outside of history in some ethereal space in which everything is measured against the degree of distraction it promises.

Echoes of Trump’s fascist impulses have been well documented, but what has been overlooked is a sustained analysis of his abuse and disparagement of historical memory, particularly in light of his association with a range of current right-wing dictators and political demagogues across the globe. Trump’s ignorance of history was on full display with his misinformed comments about former president Andrew Jackson and nineteenth-century abolitionist Frederick Douglas. Trump’s comments about Jackson having strong views on the civil war were widely ridiculed, given that Jackson died 16 years before the war started. Trump was also criticized for comments he made during Black History Month when he spoke about


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and the [recently defeated] French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Front party. All of these politicians have been condemned by a number of human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Freedom House. Less has been said about the support Trump has received from controversial right-wing bigots and politicians from around the world, such as Nigel Farage, the former leader of the right-wing UK Independence Party; Matteo Salvini, the right-wing Italian politician who heads the North League [Lega Nord]; Geert Wilders, the founder of the Dutch Party for Freedom; and Viktor Orbán, the reactionary prime minister of Hungary. All of these politicians share a mix of ultra-nationalism,instance, one of the darkest periods in French history took place under Marshall Philippe Petain, the head of the Vichy regime, who collaborated with the Nazi regime between 1940 and 1944.

As Helene Fouquet and Gregory Viscusi have noted, the Vichy regime was responsible for “about 76,000 Jews [being] deported from France, only 3,000 of whom returned from the concentration camps…. Twenty-six percent of France’s pre-war Jewish population died in the Holocaust.” For years, France refused to examine and condemn this shameful period in its history by claiming that the Vichy regime was an aberration, a position that has been recently taken up by Marine Le Pen, the neo-fascist National Front candidate. Not only has Le Pen denied the French government’s responsibility for the roundup of Jews sent to


collaborators in Belgium, Croatia, the IRA [in Ireland], Greece, Holland and other countries. At the same time that millions of people were being killed by the Nazis, many businesses collaborated with them in order to profit from the fascist machinery of death. Business that collaborated with the Nazis included Kodak, which used slave laborers in Germany. Hugo Boss, the clothing company, manufactured clothes for the Nazis. IBM created the punch cards and a sorting system used for identifying Jews and other marginalized people and sending them to the gas chambers. BMW and IG Farben used forced laborers in Germany along with Audi, the giant car company that “used thousands of forced laborers from the concentration camps … to work in their plant.”

Despite the shrinking size of the juvenile population, the number of youngsters confined to public juvenile facilities rose 10% between 1983 and 1987, the Justice Department reported. In its Children in Custody Census conducted for the Justice Department by the Census Bureau, the department said that 53,503 juveniles were held in publicly run facilities in 1987, the highest number since the first such census was taken in 1981.

Proliferation of biological weapons: challenges and responses.
The threat posed by the proliferation of biological weapons (BW) confronts all strata of our society, from the individual, the nation, or the region to the truly international. The history of state-run offensive BW programmes and the attacks in the United States with powdered anthrax demonstrate that existing measures fall short of addressing this threat. This article examines the current regime and the concerns that confront it in order to suggest possible responses across the social strata that may mitigate future proliferation of BW.spent a lot of time acting in theatre, so she takes a part of theatre to her dancing and improvisation. She values creativity, authentic way of dancing, musicality and playfulness in a dance and spreads it to her students.
For her Lindy Hop is much more than only leading and following, it’s dancing, trying to feel your partner and having a great time that’s important. She is also known for her contagious energy and loud laugh.

Joris Focquaert comes from Ghent, Belgium. He discovered the Lindy Hop in Copenhagen when he was studying at the Commedia School for mime & physical theatre. Working with the art of clowning, he takes this to his jazz dances & dance performances. In his classes, Joris tries to share his best of ideas. He


is one of the starting figures of swing dance school 'Crazy Legs' in Ghent and vernacular jazz dance troupe 'the Dipsy Doodles'.

Elze & Joris (Vilnius/Ghent) have been dancing the Lindy Hop together since 2012. They have been astonishing different crowds far on end, in and outside the swing dance community: in dance classes, during performances and during the swing dance competitions all over the world... with full success! They are often recongnised as shiny sparkles on the dancefloor, very expressive and with strong emphasis on authentic jazz & improvisation. As a pair, they have been on the teachers board at Crazy Legs Dance School (Ghent, Belgium) and Hoppers' Dance studio (Vilnius, Lithuania). Today they keep on working internationally at different dance workshops. Come and be inspired by thesefour hot feet!

Ira started Lindy Hop in 2006 and found that this is the best way to express yourself, have fun, meet people and discover the world.
She first found her way into partner dancing as a Follower with a capital F, but since then has found the thrill of her own interpretation and improvisation.
She prefers to dance for, and with her partner rather than the audience and doesn't go for flashy dancing. She follows as much as possible and she's amazing at it.
She finds ways to have the most comfortable, joyful and cohesive dance: "Listen to the music, your partner, and your body. Follow these guidelines and you'll have the best dances ever!"
During the last year she has been teaching Lindy Hop and Blues in Germany,


quality of the connection and the partnership was excellent. Now these are unbelievable.

v.
Rodney BROWN, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 09-1028.
United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
Argued October 29, 2009.

Before FLAUM, MANION, and WOOD, Circuit Judges.
WOOD, Circuit Judge.
When Rodney Brown pleaded guilty to distributing more than five grams of crack cocaine, it looked as if he was about to go to prison for a long time. Brown had a prior drug conviction, and so he faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months' imprisonment. To make matters worse, his two


previous convictions for aggravated assault qualified him as a career offender for purposes of § 4B1.1 of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and this bumped up his recommended guidelines sentence to 262-327 months' imprisonment.
At the sentencing hearing, the district court limited itself to making a few negative remarks about Brown's character and capacity for change. It then surprised the parties by sentencing Brown to the lowest possible point available to it, the 120-month mandatory minimum, a full 142 months below the low end of the guidelines range. In its terse explanation of the sentence, the district court mentioned only Brown's age (40 years old), the short length of his previous state sentences, and the conditions of his upbringing.
The government has appealed the sentence. Although a sentence so far belowthe recommended guidelines range lies within the court's power, and may even have been justified in this case, the record is too spare to support that conclusion at this point. We therefore vacate Brown's sentence and remand for resentencing.

In the spring of 2007, the Champaign (Illinois) Police Department enlisted the services of a confidential informant to help it go after the local drug dealers. After the informant tipped the authorities to Brown's dealings in cocaine, officers had the informant engage in a controlled purchase of crack cocaine from Brown. Video and audio recording devices captured Brown handing over 13.3 grams of crack in exchange for $400 in pre-recorded currency.
On August 7, 2007, a grand jury indicted Brown on two charges: distributing five grams or more of crack cocaine


furnished some details about Brown's life, which had been a difficult one. Brown grew up in a fatherless household, living for most of his youth with his mother and maternal half-sisters. He began abusing alcohol and smoking marijuana at age 12 or 13. By the time he was 14 years old, he had been convicted of theft. Brown reported that he had been abused as a child by his mother and bullied by other neighborhood kids. While his mother acknowledged that she disciplined Brown, she maintained that the "discipline never hurt anybody." She did admit, however, that on one occasion she "had to beat the shit out of him," but she asserted that the beating did not inflict permanent physical harm on Brown.
At the sentencing hearing, Brown reiteratedAs the masterful drip-drip-drip strategy employed by Edward Snowden drops bomb after bomb on the National Security Agency’s formerly secret Panopticon, we are getting closer to the central purpose of what the world’s most famous whistleblower dubbed "the architecture of oppression."

ICE Deports 256,000 Aliens in FY18, but 560,000 Fugitives Remain

WASHINGTON—Representing a 13 percent increase over last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed more than 256,000 aliens to their home countries in fiscal 2018, according to a report published Dec. 14.

ICE removals included both aliens arrested by ICE, and aliens who were apprehended by Customs and Border Protection and turned over for repatriation, according to the report. More than half (57 percent) came from ICE arrests of convicted criminals in the interior of the United States.

Their crimes included more than 12,000 sexual offenses, 2,000 homicide convictions, and 2,000 kidnapping offenses.

“ICE continues to prioritize the arrest and removal of convicted criminals, gang members, and repeat immigration violators,” said Acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello, who added that ICE operations areremoved because they are already detained—rather than having to locate them in communities around the country.

Still, the fugitive population continues to grow, with more than 560,000 currently “in the wind,” he said.

The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States still outstrips those being deported, especially with the ongoing surge at the border of family units and unaccompanied minors.

Although about 50,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended at the Southwest border in fiscal 2018, only 5,570 were removed, reflecting an 11 percent removal rate. Only 2 percent of family units were repatriated, with 2,700 being sent home out of the 107,000 apprehended at the border.

Vitiello also made the case for a border wall, saying it would help ease the burden downstream.

“The wall makes the border safer, it makes the agents

Justin Riley Brafford, 29, faces a felony count of interference with a flight crew and a misdemeanor assault charge. He made an initial court appearance Wednesday in New Mexico and remains in federal custody.

According to a criminal complaint, Brafford got on Southwest Flight 859, from Los Angeles to Dallas, on Tuesday and sat in a middle seat. The woman in the aisle seat said that Brafford put his arm on her leg as the plane was getting ready to take off and that she leaned away from him and tried to ignore him.

But Brafford


got closer to the woman, she later told an FBI agent, and began "playing footsies" with her. She asked him to stop kicking her, and then tugged on her sweater and started asking personal questions — her name, where she lived, whether she was staying alone at a hotel. When the woman declined an invitation to go out with him, Brafford whispered "don't [expletive] with me" into her ear, she said.

The woman then asked a flight attendant if she could move to another seat.

The flight attendant — who thought Brafford and the woman were a couple based on how close they were sitting to each other — changed the woman's seat, then retrieved her belongings from the old seat. When he brought her a drink later, she wascrying and said Brafford had come to the new seat and confronted her, according to the complaint.

When the flight attendant spoke to Brafford, he responded in a belligerent manner and started cursing and yelling. Brafford wasn't acting "like a normal person" and seemed to go "from zero to sixty in nano-seconds," the complaint says, leading the flight attendant to believe he might be on drugs.

The flight attendant notified the pilot, who agreed to divert the flight to Albuquerque. Flight attendants had restraints and blankets ready in case Brafford caused more trouble, the complaint says, but the flight landed without further incident and he was taken into custody.

In an interview with authorities, Brafford said that he and the woman had been watching videos on her computer and that he


thought she was flirting with him, according to the complaint. He may have misread the situation, he said.

Brafford also admitted to using methamphetamines the day before the flight and said he had overdosed on heroin Saturday, according to the complaint. He also told the FBI agent that God had been talking to him during the flight.

The flight and two others were delayed an hour and a half, and a number of passengers missed connecting flights.

In a statement, Southwest said: "The safety and comfort of everyone on board every operating aircraft is our highest concern."

Sexual misconduct — verbal harassment, unwanted touching, or worse — has persisted as an in-flight problem for years. Although no comprehensive statistics are kept about sexual assaults on planes, a 2017 survey of nearly 2,000flight attendants found that 1 in 5 had received a report of passenger-on-passenger sexual assault.

In June 2017 a woman said she was raped in the bathroom of an American Airlines aircraft, and the airline offered her $5,000 for her "nuisance claim." American later apologized for how it handled the incident and changed how it deals with reports of sexual assault and harassment on its aircraft.

Drug and alcohol abuse is a relatively common catalyst for in-flight incidents. In 2016, the International Air Transport Association reportedthat intoxication from alcohol or drugs was identified as a factor in 33 percent of reported cases of unruly passengers.

If convicted of interfering with the flight crew, Brafford would face up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. The assault charge carries

Eclipsing their debut album, New Edition spun off the top five hit "Cool It Now" and the top twenty "Mr. Telephone Man", and went on to be certified double platinum in the United States.

While promoting their second album, the group was dismayed to realize that they weren't actually signed to MCA Records, but instead with the production company Jump and Shoot, which had its own deal with MCA; subsequently, all business matters pertaining to the group were controlled by the former. To buy themselves out of the stifling production deal, each of the five members borrowed $100,000 from MCA. Though itthey also produce large amounts of noise and vibrations. Using power tools without hearing protection over a long period of time can put a person at risk for hearing loss. The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that a person should not be exposed to noise at or above 85 dB, for the sake of hearing loss prevention. Most power tools, including drills, circular saws, belt sanders, and chainsaws, operate at sound levels above the 85 dB limit, some even reaching over 100 dB. NIOSH strongly recommends wearing hearing protection while using these kinds of power tools.

Prior to the 1930s, power tools were often housed in cast metal housings. The cast metal housings were heavy, contributing to repetitive use injuries, as well as conductive -


Glen Chamberlain's award-winning fiction published in book of short stories

September 6, 2011 -- By Carol Schmidt, MSU News Service

Glen Chamberlain, has earned a reputation as an award-winning writer of fiction, particularly short stories, while teaching composition classes at MSU for the last 21 years.

Glen Chamberlain finds inspiration in the most disparate of things: owls hunting voles, a child's interest in quantum physics, a crossword puzzle filled out with a dull pencil and the birth of a foal.

Theresult of those inspirations are stories -- each one a precise and intriguing jewel. Eleven of those stories are woven into Chamberlain's first book, "Conjugation of the Verb To Be," which has been published by Delphinium Books.

The collection has already been well reviewed. Writer Mark Spragg, who lived in Bozeman for a time and met Chamberlain while both were walking on Peet's Hill, says of her book, "Here are stories composed with spare and lovely and graceful prose, patterned by insight, revelation and passion, and finally wisdom."

While fiction readers may know Chamberlain for her stories published in Montana Quarterly, Big Sky Journal and literary journals such as High Desert Journal, students and staff at Montana State University know her as a teacher of 100 and 200-level composition classes


in the MSU Department of Englisn, where she has taught for 21 years.

But she has written for nearly all of her life. Her form of choice is the short story, and her ability to write stories is so superior that she has won several prestigious prizes, including a Pushcart Prize for the best writing in small presses, the Gilcrease Prize for fiction and the Rona Jaffe Award for both fiction and creative nonfiction. The Rona Jaffe Foundation, from whom she received her award in 2001, named her "one of the six most promising women writers in the nation." Chamberlain was unable to travel to the award ceremony when the 9/11 tragedy grounded her flight, which makes the publishing of her book exactly a decade later an interesting coincidence.Chamberlainsaid she has tried and is currently trying to write, a novel. But the pacing and character development of the short story seem to fit her and her viewpoint.

"I also love poetry," she said. "I don't write it, but I love the way poets create a mood in so few words."

Even though she is an award-winning writer of growing reputation, she doesn't find it any easier now to write than she did when she first started writing decades ago.

Such honesty, as well as a sense of humor and intelligence, has long been evident in Chamberlain's personal stories. She said she writes about what she knows, and since she lives in the West, the landscape does permeate the stories. But, she is quick to point out that she is


not a Western or "regional" author.

"Western writers take a bad rap," Chamberlain said. "People brand western writers as regional, which I want to avoid. I would like to escape the landscape, but I can't escape it. It seeps into my writing, it's so iconic."

A native of Kansas, Chamberlain graduated from the University of Michigan. She has a master's degree in American Studies from the University of Wyoming and came close to finishing an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. She and her husband, Tom, found Bozeman more than 30 years ago and are serial residents, she says.

Linda Karell, chair of MSU's Department of English, is excited to see Chamberlain'sprotect her from the gang members who had taken to following her. For that, she said, “my father was killed in the plaza in broad daylight by MS-13.”

After MS-13 murdered her father, it threatened her and her mother with the same fate. She, her mother, and two brothers fled in fear to the United States, where they had family. They took buses and trains and stayed in hotels until they reached Texas in August 2016.

blamed Internet activity for fanning fears that resulted in tens of thousands of migrants fleeing back to the northeast last week from Bangalore and elsewhere.

But Twitter users, legal experts and analysts criticised the government's approach, which appeared to have resulted in only partial blocking of material, much of which was still accessible.

"The officials who are trusted with this don't know the law or modern technology well enough," Pranesh Prakash, programme manager at the Centre for Internet and Society research group, told AFP.

"I hope that this fiasco shows the folly of excessive censorship and encourages the government to make better use of social networks and technology to reach out to people."

Among the blocked content were photographs by AFP and other news agencies from Myanmar in the British Daily Telegraph,a parody Twitter account pretending to be from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and dozens of YouTube videos.

ABC issued a statement saying it was "surprised by the action" after content on its website about unrest in Myanmar between Muslims and Buddhists was included on the blocking list.

India's Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde insisted in a statement the government was "only taking strict action against those accounts or people which are causing damage or spreading rumours."

Shinde added that the government sought to block the Myanmar online photos because they were "disturbing the atmosphere here in India."

The government said photographs of clashes in Myanmar were circulating on the Internet with fake captions claiming the scenes were from the northeastern Indian state of Assam, where 80 people have died in recent ethnic


violence.

Vivek Sood, senior Supreme Court lawyer and an author on Internet legalisation, called the government's step "a gross abuse of power."

"It's completely illegal under the Indian IT Act," he told The Economic Times.

Indian journalist Kanchan Gupta, who is often critical of the government, had his Twitter account targeted by a government blocking order in a move he called a "political vendetta".

Al Jazeera webpages on the blocking list, including a report on the exodus from Bangalore, appeared unaffected by the government orders, the channel's Delhi bureau chief Anmol Saxena told AFP.

Ministers earlier complained they had not received cooperation from websites and social network groups.

The government on Thursday said Twitter had agreed to remove six fake accounts parodying Prime Minister Singh.

In my freshman year, I joined the U-High Midway staff as a reporter in Beginning Journalism. I enjoy the wide variety of writing techniques and styles that reporting accesses. My best story was a feature called “All shapes and slices.” Outside of the Midway, I love playing upright and electric bass, dance and cooking.

witty and raucous re-telling of the legend of King Arthur, “lovingly ripped off” from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The Crown Uptown Theatre presents Little Women now through June 8. With period costumes and sets, this production is based on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. Set in 1860s Massachusetts, it is a heart rending tale about the four sisters of the March family, who lose their wealth while the family patriarch is away serving in the Civil War but gain much more. Through the struggles, the sisters still have heaps of fun, make new friends, in the end fall in love, and find out that not everything has to be glamorous.First Ecom.com, Inc.

Originally released in 1996, House of the Dead leans hard into its campy style. The stories, characters and dialog are absurd, but in the best way possible. Notably, many of the zombies in the games are fast-moving, which was unheard of in the mid '90s, long before 28 Days Later, which brought agile undead to the big screen. Speaking of, House of the Dead also has the dubious honor of being adapted into a movie by infamous director Uwe Boll.

A few weeks ago, Polish website Graczpospolita reported on an unverified claim that Forever Entertainment would publish remakes of the first two games in the series. These new versions will feature improved graphics and some slight gameplay tweaks, according to the post. This didn't sound far fetched; the samerelease the first House of the Dead remake in late 2020. In the meantime, Sega fans can get their fix with the Genesis Mini, which features classic 16-bit games like Gunstar Heroes and Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master.

Turn it over press/smooth the contact paper down, removing any air bubbles.

Step 4: Making the Wooden Mount: Part III

Using craft scissors, cut tabs into the remaining contact paper all the way around the mount, right up to the mount edge. (cut out sections of the contact paper at all the corners, shown in the third image)

Pull each tab taut and stick it to then back side of the mount. Repeat until the entire outside edge is stuck in place.

Use duct tape to reinforce the folded over tabs.

Cut a hole out of the contact paper within the center hole of the mount. Repeat the tab/tape process.

The process by which the cuts were decided upon by Governor Paterson has not yet been reported.

17.96 metres high, the Senja troll is the world’s largest, as duly noted in the Guinness Book of World Records. Its weight, 125 tons, is equally impressive. Since its creation in the early 1990s, the troll has drawn tens of thousands of tourists. Visitors crowd inside the monument’s museum where the story of this mythical being is told through a series of presentations. But if height is a decisive factor, the Senja troll pales in comparison to the celebrated Devil’s Teeth, magnificent rocky crags rising along the sea. Where does the nickname come from? From their shape, simply, suggestive of enormous canine teeth.

An endless day on the island of Senja

Direct contact with nature is the focus of many of the activities available on Senja. From late May toabout two and a half years. They all died.

The firefighters pushed back against the state Health Department's plan to restrict who can perform intubations. A few days later, Arditi reported, a 12th patient with a misplaced breating tube died.

The response from the firefighters who perform these emergency procedures was swift. Fire officials and their unions angrily criticized these stories. They have been joined by some city and town officials, particularly Johnston Mayor Joe Polisena, a nurse and retired firefighter.

At a meeting last week of the Ambulance Service Coordinating Advisory, Polisena labeled the reporting “fake news.” He also skewered emergency room doctors as “having an agenda” driven by how much they get paid as consultants to communities around the state for advising fire departments on emergency response issues.

"Federal grants make up nearly one-third of New Jersey's budget, and the Trump proposal decimates the federal dollars that go into many of these grants -- particularly those that serve the working poor and the impoverished," Whiten added.

The 150-km railway is the first transportation project in Indonesia conducted solely on business basis and without any fund from the government’s budget.

Construction of the railway will largely be financed by China Development Bank with a 40-year loan and a grace period of 10 years.

Sahala expected the Indonesia-China joint venture to expand its service to similar projects in Southeast Asia and Middle East in the future.

The Chinese partner was also willing to provide transfer of technology (TOT), which would build facilities to produce high-speed trains in Indonesia and supply them to new markets served


This is an excerpt from the newly published book Shadow Courts: The Tribunals that Rule Global Trade by Haley Edwards.

The environmental activist Jane Kleeb was driving down Highway 281 near Lincoln, Nebraska, on a gray day in January 2016, when she got a call from a reporter.

At the time, Kleeb was still riding high off of her success organizing local farmers, ranchers and environmentalists in opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would have carried petroleum products from Canada’s tar sands across the Nebraska plains to the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to her and other activists’ efforts, President Barack Obama had announced in November 2015 that his administration would deny the Canadian company TransCanada permission to move forward with the project, ending an eight-year-long effort to get theto a specific owner listed on the bond registry of the issuer. The bank, as trustee or paying agent, is responsible for mailing a check in the amount of the payable interest to the owner at the registered address. When the issuing entity pledges revenue from a project funded through the bonds as security, the bank holds the revenue to ensure that the covenants and other provisions of the indenture are followed. In the event of a default, the bank is responsible for enforcing the remedial provisions of the contract.
In this case, Summit Bank, formerly United Jersey Bank (the Bank), has served as trustee and paying agent in connection with numerous bonds issued by various governmental entities. The bonds fall into several categories: general revenue bonds issued for
