hope that she could be admitted and deliver in the next few days or weeks, but one Florida mother warned against a very early delivery, saying that while technology saves many babies, it can never imitate the womb, and that when a baby is very tiny and young, it can be better to let nature take its course. A couple of days later, the original poster reported that her baby had passed inside her.

Struck by the warning, I contacted the Florida mother, who, after being diagnosed with IUGR and preeclampsia, had delivered a little boy weighing a little over 600 grams at 26 weeks a couple of years ago. During a four=month NICU stay, her son was on a ventilator, underwent heart surgery, and suffered extensive damage towho did respond to an interview request about losing her baby was an Ohio schoolteacher whose son Elijah had IUGR and was stillborn in 2011. (Update, Oct. 30, 2015: Due to the nature of the topic, we have removed the name of this woman at her request.) When reversed end-diastolic flow was first seen by ultrasound, the woman says she was offered an induction of labor, even though the baby was too small to have a chance of survival, the idea being that if she delivered, she might meet him alive, and that comfort care could be offered until he died.She decided against that option, both because she felt it would be more painful for him than passing on the inside, and because of her hope, unlikely as


delivered early would in the future choose to deliver at 24 weeks when faced with an imminent stillbirth. Dozens weighed in, and, on balance, the mothers who had delivered early themselves expressed respect for women who opted to wait. One of the responses was from a California woman who had been waiting out an expected stillbirth from IUGR when she went into labor at 27 weeks and unexpectedly had her baby alive; she said whatever choice the woman makes is the best decision for her family.

To rest the question there, on a woman’s right to choose, may sound like an iteration of the abortion debate, but there are important differences, as I came to realize. Unlike a termination, neither a choice to deliver nor a choice to miscarryx where x is a real number". For example,  says "every positive number is the square of a negative number".

Bounded quantifiers in arithmetic

Suppose that L is the language of Peano arithmetic (the language of second-order arithmetic or arithmetic in all finite types would work as well).  There are two types of bounded quantifiers:  and .
These quantifiers bind the number variable n and contain a numeric term t which may not mention n but which may have other free variables. ("Numeric terms" here means terms such as "1 + 1", "2", "2 × 3", "m + 3", etc.)

These quantifiers are defined by the following rules ( denotes formulas):

There are several motivations for these quantifiers.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Surveillance video shows a University of South Carolina student climbing into the vehicle of the person accused of killing her, believing it was an Uber vehicle she had called for minutes earlier.

The video shows Samantha Josephson, 21, on her phone near a crowd gathered outside a bar in Columbia's Five Points entertainment district at around 2 a.m. Friday. A Chevy Impala rolls up, and Josephson skips a few steps to the street and climbs into the back seat.

“She had, in fact, summoned an Uber ride,” Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook said. “She simply mistakenly got into this car, thinking it was an Uber.”

Josephson's body was found the next day by turkey hunters in a wooded area more than 60 miles away. The driver who policesaid picked Josephson up, Nathaniel Rowland, was found with his car early Saturday morning.

Holbrook said blood found in the car matched Josephson's blood. He said the child safety locks were engaged, so Josephson would have been unable to flee once she realized her mistake.

Josephson's death was the result of "multiple sharp force injuries," according to a Monday press release from the State Law Enforcement Division.

Rowland, 24, was held on charges of murder and kidnapping. At a hearing Sunday, Josephson's mother spoke of the pain her family was enduring.

"There are no words to describe the incredible pain he's caused," Marci Josephson said of the suspect. "Samantha was bubbly, loving, kind and full of life. He's taken away a piece of our heart."

Josephson was set to graduate in May and

Bishops' conference has given the go-ahead for three publishers to produce the missals in time for Advent

The bishops’ conference of England and Wales has given the go-ahead for three publishers to produce Sunday missals in time for Advent, it emerged this week.

The missals, containing the new translation of the Mass, will be produced by HarperCollins, Redemptorist Publications and the Catholic Truth Society. They will cost between £16.99 and about £25.

St Paul’s Publishing will be producing its annual paperback missal for just £6. It will provide the readings from Advent this year until the end of 2012.

It is understood that Martin Foster, acting secretary of the Liturgy Office, rejectedtaken from a 12th-century manuscript, the Ingeborg Psalter, which also feature in the altar missals.

CTS will also be publishing a daily missal, including both Sunday and weekday readings, for about £45. HarperCollins will be publishing three editions of its weekday missal, costing between £30 and £40.


First Mack, while closing in from behind on quarterback Tyrod Taylor as the Bills began a drive from their own 4, reached out and got a finger on the ball as it was being released, causing it to pop up into the air and into the waiting arms of safety Nate Allen at the Buffalo 17. Then, after Latavius Murray (20 carries, 82 yards) scored his second touchdown (with Carr's two-point conversion pass to Seth Roberts extending the Oakland lead to 14), Mack snuffed out the Bills' ensuing 13-play drive by forcing and recovering a Taylor fumble at the Raiders' 22.

News for NMU Employees

Northern will convert to a new LTE network for wireless broadband, effective in early August. WiMAX will continue to operate for another two years until the final model of laptops equipped with its built-in adapters cycle out of use according to the university’s replacement schedule. NMU also will begin distributing a higher-end laptop with integrated LTE technology: the fourth generation Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (pictured).

Dave Maki (IT and Technical Services) said there are a few key reasons for the conversion. LTE has emerged as the mobile broadband standard in the United States and is used worldwide via cell phones, tablets and computers. WiMAX can no longer be built into laptops. Its user equipment is more difficult to find and has a shorter lifespan of 10few weeks ago, the 10 (five days shy of 11) year old son of a friend of my daughters passed away. Immediately, anybody feels bad when a child dies. This child was born with a heart which couldn’t keep a steady beat. His mother was told when he was born, he would not live past five. Single mom and son spent the last almost 11 years living one day at a time to the FULLEST!

He was well aware all of his life that any day could be the last and each night the last thing he would do is smile at his mom and say “they didn’t get me today mama!” He planned much of his own funeral during talks with his mom. His IPOD was connected into


the sound system and his music played constantly. It was one of the most light hearted and uplifting services ever attended. It was done his way. A steady string of speakers telling about this wonderful little boy, his wisdom and humor that he gave to others. He knew his mortality was short and was happy each day to wake up and see his mom again. He loved school even though he never knew which grade he would finish. After getting a glimpse of his life through his services, I don’t think I will ever look at life the same again. And like you, I was a stranger in his life.

Linda, your story made me cry . . . but it tells me that love and caring and directionhave regrets when we weren’t.

What was incredible about Cooper’s services was the lack of tears. He had talked with his mom and she shared their belief that he would not go away, just to another room with people he loved. He would see her, know her and just not be able to be with her for now. His grandpa died a few years ago, and she said her first thoughts when he died was visioning him running for the first time,since his heart would not let him run during his life and seeing grandpa again and she could not help but smile. Incredible story they shared for almost 11 positive years.

Linda — your story was beautiful and the mother somehow said ALL the right things — the words


could not have been better. Thanks for the ending.

A P.S. on my funeral home story: on Saturday, a note came in from the friend I had seen at the funeral home, not knowing anyone else. After thanking me, he added a whole paragraph, saying that his whole family (who obviously I had greeted and talked to on my walk around to various unknown groups) had told him that I had helped them so. But it was his mother – he said – who said that I was the kindest, warmest, and said the most perfect things to her more than anyone did — and he wanted to thank me for helping his family so. That he told I felt amazed at — and I do think I willA Perfect Day for a Tree

1:00 a.m., Officer Stringer was on patrol in uniform in a marked police cruiser (along with a Police Department canine in the rear seat of the cruiser) at the corner of Grand Street and Jefferson Avenue in New London, Connecticut. At the time, Officer Stringer was assigned to the 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. shift. Officer Stringer's cruiser was stopped on Grand Street facing the intersection with Jefferson Avenue. That particular part of New London is a high crime area where gang activities, violence, and drug-dealing occur. It is also the home neighborhood of a local, active street gang active in the narcotics trade. Furthermore, at the intersection of Grand Street and Jefferson Avenue, there is a local bar that Officer Stringer described as a "continual headache" forlocal police, where there is often illicit activity. It was not unusual, therefore, for Officer Stringer to be in the area of the bar around its closing time.
While facing Jefferson Avenue, Officer Stringer saw a Pontiac Sunbird with a Rhode Island license plate pass in front of him and proceed down Jefferson Avenue. Jefferson Avenue is a two-lane, one-way street that runs through both residential and commercial areas of New London. Jefferson Avenue is very well-lit, with high intensity street lights. Officer Stringer decided to pull onto Jefferson Avenue and follow the Sunbird to see "what they were up to." He had never seen the Sunbird before. While following directly behind the Sunbird, Officer Stringer saw that the driver appeared to be a female, because of her hair,


and that there was a passenger in the car. The Sunbird proceeded at an appropriate rate of speed, and Officer Stringer followed it down Jefferson Avenue to an intersection with Garfield and Lincoln Streets, which is a well-lit intersection. Officer Stringer did not recall if there were any other vehicles in the area at the time.
While following the Sunbird, Officer Stringer testified that he noticed that neither the driver nor the passenger were wearing their seatbelts, in violation of Connecticut law, Conn. Gen.Stat. § 14-100a. According to Officer Stringer, he could see through the rear window of the Sunbird that the seat belts and buckles were dangling down from the door sides of the car. After proceeding through the *287 intersection and following the Sunbird for a shortdistance, Officer Stringer activated his emergency lights, and the Sunbird immediately pulled to a stop in front of 257 Jefferson Street, a residential portion of the City. Officer Stringer's cruiser was parked directly behind the Sunbird. Officer Stringer radioed in that he had stopped a car and intended to get out and approach the car. He then got out of his cruiser (leaving the canine lying on the back seat of the cruiser), approached the driver's side of the car, and confirmed that neither the driver nor the passenger had their seat belts buckled. Officer Stringer explained that he had pulled the Sunbird over because the driver and passenger were not wearing their seatbelts. Neither the driver nor the passenger protested when Officer Stringer said that they were


not wearing their seat belts. Officer Stringer testified that if, after approaching the car, he had discovered that they were in fact wearing their seat belts, he would have said "have a good night" and would have told them they could leave.
The driver was Theresa Harding, whom Officer Stringer estimated was in her late 30's or early 40's. Officer Stringer did not recognize her. However, from the driver's side, Officer Stringer immediately recognized the passenger as James Bowers, who was then approximately 19 years old. Officer Stringer knew that Mr. Bowers was a member of the local street gang and that he had a prior criminal record. They had previously encountered each other on many occasions  in fact, nearly weekly  while Officer Stringer was on patrolwas valid (it was not) when he went over to speak with Mr. Bowers. At no time was the conversation between Officer Stringer and either of the occupants of the Sunbird either loud, animated, or hostile; Officer Stringer never drew his weapon or made any threats. Instead, the encounter was at all times calm and cordial.
When asked why he went over to speak with Mr. Bowers, Officer Stringer testified, "I knew him [Mr. Bowers] on a professional basis, figured I could get more of a story, more of what's going on from him." When he arrived at the passenger side of the Sunbird, Officer Stringer asked Mr. Bowers why he was there, and Mr. Bowers replied that Ms. Harding was a friend of his aunt's and was giving


him a ride. Officer Stringer then asked both Ms. Harding and Mr. Bowers if either of them had any weapons or drugs. Both said they did not. He also asked them both if they would consent to a search, and both readily agreed to a search. Officer Stringer said he then asked Mr. Bowers a second time if he had any objection to the officer checking for weapons or drugs, and Mr. Bowers said, "Go ahead and check."
Officer Stringer explained that the reason he asked about drugs and weapons was because it was late at night in a high crime area known for drug dealing, the vehicle was from out-of-state and a "good number" of drug arrests in New London involve vehicles with out-of-state plates, *288 and Mr.Bowers was a known member of the local street gang. He also testified that, had either Ms. Harding or Mr. Bowers declined to consent, he would not have detained them further and would have sent them on their way. As he put it, "Most of the times I do ask for consent, if it's in the high crime area, most people do say no, and they're on their merry way."
Officer Stringer asked Mr. Bowers to step out of the car and had him walk to the rear of the Sunbird and place his hands on the trunk of the car. As Mr. Bowers got out of the Sunbird, he told the officer that he did not have anything on him. At or around this time, another New London


not recall seeing any other cars in the vicinity that could have illuminated the interior of the Sunbird on the evening in question.
On this issue, the Government's evidence consisted of Officer Stringer's testimony that he was able to see that Ms. Harding and Mr. Bowers were not wearing their seat belts, that he confirmed this fact when he went to the driver's side of the Sunbird, and that neither Ms. Harding nor Mr. Bowers ever claimed that they were wearing their seat belts. He also testified that it is his practice to stop vehicles when he sees that the driver or passengers are not wearing their seat belts unless he is doing something more important. The Government also points out that Officer Stringer charged Ms. Harding and Mr.car from a distance because of the high intensity lighting in the area. See Government Ex. 7. Third, the Court found Officer Stringer, an experienced police officer, to be a credible witness. He did not hesitate, and his testimony was plausible, consistent, and forthright on both direct and cross-examination, and corroborated by other evidence. It was also unrebutted. Fourth and finally, even Mr. Fallon admitted that on at least one occasion, he could see that a driver was not wearing his seat belt, and that is confirmed by his video. While at other points during Mr. Fallon's video it is difficult to determine whether a seat belt is being worn, his video  unlike Agent Prather's and Officer Crandall's  was taken on a rainy evening (it was


drugs was permissible. He had stopped a vehicle in a very high crime corridor, where armed drug couriers ply their trade daily."). Also, Officer Stringer knew that a passenger in the vehicle was a member of a local street gang active in the narcotics trade. The Court believes that Officer Stringer thus had objective and particularized facts that justified his suspicions about the situation he had encountered and that justified his brief inquiry into the presence of weapons or drugs. Finally, there were no threats of force by Officer Stringer, nor even any raised voices. Instead, the encounter was entirely cordial.
In the circumstances, therefore, it was not unreasonable for Officer Stringer, an experienced officer, to simply ask whether either the driver or passenger had drugs or weapons inThe FBI saw enough merit in a reputed Mafia captain's tip to once again break out the digging equipment in search of the elusive remains of former Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa, last seen alive when he left for lunch with two mobsters 38 years ago.

Federal agents brought excavation equipment Monday to a field in suburban Detroit where Tony Zerilli said Hoffa's remains were buried.

Zerilli, 85, told Detroit television station WDIV in February that he knew the location of the remains.

On Monday, Detroit FBI chief Robert Foley said investigators obtained a warrant to search a field in Oakland Township, about 40 kilometres north of Detroit.

FBI agents halted the search for the day about 7 p.m. Monday and planned to resume digging Tuesday morning.

Foley did not mention Zerilli's claims


in his brief comments, but Zerilli's lawyer, David Chasnick, said his client was "thrilled" that investigators were acting on the information.

"This has finally come to an end. It has been an arduous project to get to this point," Chasnick said. "Hoffa's body is somewhere in that field, no doubt about it."

Chasnick said his client is "a person intimately involved" with people who know where the body is buried.

He said his client wasn't making any public comments but said Zerilli told him there used to be a barn in the field and that Hoffa's body was buried beneath a concrete slab inside the barn.

Zerilli was convicted of organized crime and was in prison when Hoffa disappeared. But he told New York TV station WNBC in January that he wasinformed about Hoffa's whereabouts after his release.

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard, who joined Foley at a news conference, said it was his "fondest hope" to bring closure for Hoffa's family and the community.

Hoffa, Teamsters president from 1957-71, was an acquaintance of mobsters and an adversary of federal officials. The day in 1975 when he disappeared from a Detroit-area restaurant, he was supposed to be meeting with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and a Detroit Mafia captain.

Since then, multiple leads to his remains have turned out to be red herrings.

In September, police took soil from a suburban backyard after a tip Hoffa had been buried there. It was just one of many fruitless searches. Previous tips led police to a horse farm northwest of Detroit in 2006, a Detroit


home in 2004 and a backyard pool two hours north of the city in 2003.

Andrew Arena, who was head of the FBI in Detroit until he retired in 2012, said Zerilli "would have been in a position to have been told" where Hoffa was buried.

"I still don't know if this was a guess on his part. I don't know if he was actually brought here by the Detroit [mob] family," Arena said. "It's his position as the reputed underboss. That's the significance."

Keith Corbett, a former federal prosecutor in Detroit who was active in Mafia prosecutions touching on the Hoffa case, said it was appropriate for the FBI to act on Zerilli's assertions.

*960 Several weeks after construction had started, St. Clair notified the Sextons that the stage of construction did not justify the amount of proceeds that had been drawn by the Sextons' builder. St. Clair advised the Sextons that, given the situation, it would not permit any more draws on the loan proceeds at that time. According to the Sextons, they learned that all but $17,000 of the loan proceeds had been disbursed by St. Clair and that approximately $93,000 of the monies disbursed had not been used by their builder on the construction ofthe residence.
The Sextons were unable to complete the construction, and they ceased making the required payments on the construction loan. St. Clair sued, seeking an order of foreclosure, the sale of the uncompleted residence to satisfy the indebtedness on the loan, and any deficiency that might exist after the sale. The Sextons counterclaimed, alleging that St. Clair had failed to monitor construction and to disburse the loan proceeds in proportion to the stage of construction consistent with the loan agreement. They alleged that St. Clair had thereby breached the loan agreement and had breached a fiduciary duty to them. In addition to punitive damages, the Sextons sought compensatory damages for what they claimed were their "direct, consequential, and incidental losses, including an amount for their mental anguish, emotional


A big loss for Art Pope in NC school resegregation fight

Voters in Wake County, N.C. have shifted political power on the local school board, ending a Republican majority backed by leading conservative benefactor Art Pope that worked to end the system's nationally recognized desegregation policy.

In the Nov. 8 runoff race that pitted incumbent Democrat Kevin Hill, a lifelong educator, against Republican Heather Losurdo, a stay-at-home mom and Tea Party activist, Hill won with just over 52% of the vote in the strongly Republican district. The runoff followed the Oct. 11 general election for the school board in which Democrats won outright four of the five seats that were up for grabs on the nine-member board, but in which Hill narrowly missed the 50% he needed to avoid aand community members rejected candidates who support regressive public policy that leads to resegregation of our public schools," Barber said in a statement. "Their commitment speaks clearly to the rest of North Carolina, but also to the national debate over public education reform, which must have diversity and resources at the center."

The Democratic resurgence was a reaction to the 2009 election, when Republicans gained control of the board in a strategy masterminded by Pope (in photo), a discount-retail mogul and a director of Americans for Prosperity, a corporate advocacy group founded and funded by the brothers behind the Koch Industries oil and chemical conglomerate. Like the Kochs, Pope has used his family's fortune to support a range of conservative causes, including school privatization.

Americans for Prosperity's North Carolina chapter


was active in the 2009 school board race, carrying out voter education and volunteer work on behalf of Republican candidates. At the same time, Pope was the second-biggest contributor to the Republicans in that election, donating over $15,000 to the local party, which in turn spent most of the money on the school board race. A local GOP official acknowledged that Pope was the "architect" of the strategy to elect anti-diversity policy candidates.

Pope's money also played an important role in this year's hotly contested races. In the run-up to the October general election, Pope and his wife, Katherine, contributed $4,000 each -- the maximum allowed by law -- to three Republican candidates who wanted to end the diversity policy: challenger Donna Williams and current school board chair Roncharacterized the staid Hill as a peace sign-flashing hippie stuck in the past. On the other side of the political spectrum, the independent groups Common Sense Matters and Progress NC hammered Losurdo for her Tea Party connections, a personal bankruptcy, exaggerating her responsibilities at a job servicing bank loans, and for a stint working in a New Orleans strip club, where Losurdo says she was just a cocktail waitress.

The new school board will be sworn in next month. Meanwhile, members of the accrediting organization for Wake County schools are scheduled to meet later this month with school officials and board members to review their actions to maintain accreditation. In response to a complaint filed by the NAACP last year, AdvancED investigated and placed the system under warning for


On February 4, 2019, Russian prosecutors announced that they were reopening the investigation into the Dyatlov Pass Incident. This is one of the most puzzling mysteries of the modern era.

In January 1959, Igor Dyatlov was a twenty-three-year-old radio engineering student at the Ural Polytechnical Institute, now known as the Ural Federal University. Dyatlov was an elite skier and hiker, and he assembled a group of nine fellow students to accompany him on a 16-day expedition that would cover 190 miles (305 km) across the North Ural mountains of Otorten and Kholat Syakhl.

The eight men and two women all had Grade II-hiker certification with ski tour experience, and after completing the upcoming expedition, they would receive what at the time was the Soviet Union's highestcertification possible, Grade III.

The trek begins

In the early morning of January 25, 1959, the group arrived by train at the town of Ivdel, then took a truck to Vizhai, the last inhabited settlement before their trek. There, they purchased loaves of bread to add to their supplies.

On January 27th, they began their trek, and the next day a member of the group, Yuri Yudin, complained of feeling unwell and returned to Vizhai.

The remaining nine continued on. They included Igor Dyatlov, 23, Yuri Doroshenko, 21, Lyudmila Dubinina, 20, Yuri Krivonischenko, 23, Alexander Kolevatov, 24, Zinaida Kolmogorova, 22, Rustem Slobodin, 23, Nikolai Thibeaux-Brignolles, 23, and Semyon Zolotaryov, 38.

The Pass

On January 31st, the group arrived at a wooded valley where they


cached surplus food and equipment that they intended to use on the way back. The next day, February 1, 1959, they began to move through the pass that would come to be called the Dyatlov Pass.

RELATED: 15 ESSENTIAL GADGETS FOR HIKING LOVERS TO TAKE IN THE WILD

From what was recovered from expedition members' Dyatlov Pass photos and diaries, investigators were able to determine that the Russian hikers hoped to make camp that night on the opposite side of the pass. During that day however, snowstorms moved in and the group deviated to the west, ending up at the top of a mountain called Kholat Syakhl. In the language of the indigenous people, Kholat Syakhl means "Dead Mountain".

Rather than making their way down the mountain to a forested area,they chose to make camp on the mountain's slope. Temperatures that night were very cold, -25 to -30°C (-13 to -22°F), and the group shared one large tent.

An overdue telegram

Dyatlov had arranged with Yudin that he would send a telegram once the group had returned to Vizhai, but when no telegram arrived on the agreed-upon date or for a week thereafter, Yudin alerted the authorities. The head of the Ural Polytechnical Institute assembled a rescue team comprised of students and teachers to look for the missing hikers. After what they found, the Soviet army got involved.

On February 26, 1959, the rescuers from the Ural Polytechnical Institute found the Dyatlov group's tent — it was cut in half, but


from the inside. Within the tent were the group's belongings, including their shoes. Outside the tent, there were nine sets of footprints made by people who were wearing only socks, a single shoe, or were barefoot.

The rescuers followed the footprints, some of which led down toward the edge of nearby woods 1.5 km (.93 miles) north-east of the tent. At the edge of the forest, under a large pine tree, the rescuers found the remains of a small fire and the shoeless bodies of Krivonischenko and Doroshenko who were wearing only their underwear.

Above the bodies, branches on the pine tree were broken to a height of 5 meters (16 feet), indicating that atcoat and hat.

Unexplained injuries

It wasn't until autopsies were performed on all the expedition members that things took a turn toward the weird. Thibeaux-Brignolles had several fractures to his skull. Lyudmila Dubinina and Semyon Zolotaryov had major fractures of their chests, but none of these bodies showed any signs of external trauma.

The doctor examining the bodies described the force needed to cause the fractures as being comparable to a car crash. It was as if they had been subjected to a high level of pressure.

One body that did show signs of external trauma was that of Dubinina. She was missing her eyes, tongue, part of her lips, part of her face, and a fragment of her skull bone. The skin


on her hands was macerated while Alexander Kolevatov's body showed no signs of injury.

An attempt at an explanation

Authorities initially suggested that the group had been attacked by indigenous people in the area known as the Mansi, however, only the hikers' footprints were visible in the snow. Also, none of the hikers' bodies showed signs of a struggle.

Troubling questions were: Why were the expedition members only partially dressed? Why had they run into the snow wearing only socks or else barefoot?

While there were many Dyatlov Pass theories, an official inquest into the deaths found that:

Six members of the group died from hypothermia (from the cold), while three had fatal injuries.

At the time of the incident, there were no other people on Kholat Syakhlfound within 10 days of the incident were covered with only a very shallow layer of snow. Since the incident, over 100 expeditions to the same area have taken place, and none has ever reported an avalanche.

A "snow slab" avalanche occurs when a weak layer of snow lies beneath a snowpack. When this weak layer breaks off, it pulls all the layers on top of it down the slope. Alexander Zolotaryov was studying for his Masters Certificate in ski instruction and mountain hiking, and neither he nor Igor Dyatlov would have been likely to camp anywhere that could be in the path of a potential avalanche.

The possibility of a hurricane in the northern Ural Mountains is remote at best.

The aftermath of the disaster

Following the incident, the pass was


named The Dyatlov Pass in honor of the group. At the Mikhajlov Cemetery at Yekaterinburg, a monument was erected for the nine students.

In 1990, Russian Anatoly Gushchin published a book about the incident, The Price of State Secrets Is Nine Lives. In 2013, a Russian-British horror film directed by Renny Harlin and entitled The Dyatlov Pass Incident was released. Its name was eventually changed to Devil's Pass.

In 2015, the Russian band Kauan released an album entitled Sorni Nai which attempts to reconstruct the events leading up to the incident. While there are many mysteries remaining to be solved, The Dyatlov Pass incident continues to puzzle and fascinate all who come to learn of it.the reasonableness of a search does not depend on any one criterion, but on what the Supreme Court there described as the "total atmosphere of the case". The opinion declined to set forth any one test, and remarked that "The recurring questions of the reasonableness of searches must find resolution in the facts and circumstances of each case".
One of the facts here is that the agents in charge of the arrest of defendant's wife and the search of his apartment knew that defendant was being held in Florida. The conclusion that the arrest of his wife, lawful or not, was a mere pretext to search for some sort of evidence against defendant is inescapable, and is confirmed by the subsequent dismissal of the harboring charge and the bringing

This first appeared in 1917 in Zurich as part of the famous Dada movement in art and culture, with anti war policies, ridiculing the meaninglessness of the modern world, anti bourgeois and anarchist. It was named “Recueil Litteraire et Artistique”. A lot of modern science needs similar criticism, which is why our new journal is so successful. At about the same time, James Joyce was working in Zurich having said goodbye to his native Ireland, whose hypocrisy he strongly criticised in “Dubliners”, “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man”, “Ulysses” and “Finnegan’s Wake”. James Joyce was appointed to the Civil List before Irish independence and his books were banned in the


is little doubt that on a purely intellectual level AIAS is the leading institute of physics, somewhat similar to a movement in art such as Impressionism or Dadaism in Zurich, where we often visited the art gallery, or abstract expressionism in New York City. We have known this for some years by use of feedback. Zurich is full of art shops selling very expensive paintings, Persian carpets and Rollex watches.

This second article discusses how the inclusion of a vertical component (the infraocclusion of the deciduous molar) into the otherwise horizontal band of transseptal fibers affects the vertical development of the two adjacent teeth. From the hypothesis proposed in the first article of this series, it seemed logical to assume that the occlusal heights of the teeth adjacent to the affected tooth would themselves be lowered, when measured to the inferior border of the mandible and compared with the height of the occlusal table of the control side. Secondly, since the vertical component affects only one side of each adjacent tooth, these teeth would be tilted about a center of rotation

Born in Reading, Berkshire, Winslet studied drama at the Redroofs Theatre School. Her first screen appearance, at the age of 15, was in the British television series Dark Season (1991). She made her film debut playing a teenage murderess in Heavenly Creatures (1994), and received her first BAFTA Award for playing Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility (1995). Global stardom followed soon after with her leading role in the epic romance Titanic (1997). It was the highest-grossing film of all time to that point, after which she eschewed parts in blockbusters in favour of critically acclaimed but little-seen period pieces, including Quills (2000) and Iris (2001).424 F.3d 598

1
Yulia Firmansjah, a citizen of Indonesia, entered the United States as a student and overstayed her visa. She subsequently filed an application for asylum and withholding of removal. After a hearing, the immigration judge denied Firmansjah's asylum request on the ground that Firmansjah was firmly resettled in Singapore prior to her arrival in the United States. The immigration judge also denied her request


for withholding of removal, reasoning that she had not shown a clear probability that she would be persecuted if removed to Indonesia. The Bureau of Immigration Affairs affirmed without discussion, and Firmansjah appeals. For the reasons that follow, we find that substantial evidence supports the immigration judge's determinations and deny the petitions for review.

I. BACKGROUND

2
Yulia Firmansjah was born in Indonesia and is an Indonesian citizen. She is ethnically Chinese. At her asylum hearing, she recounted that in 1986, when she was twelve years old, she and her family moved from their home in Jakarta, Indonesia to the western outskirts of Jakarta in an effort to avoid anti-Chinese violence in the city. In 1988, at the age of sixteen, she moved with her family to Singapore, where she attendedhigh school for four years. She lived with her family in Singapore from 1988 to 1992 when, at the age of nineteen, she entered the United States on a student visa. She studied at the University of Dayton, where she received a bachelor's degree in environmental engineering technology and a master's degree in business administration.

3
Firmansjah testified that in approximately 1990, her father removed all his money from Singapore and reinvested it in business in Indonesia. In 1995 or 1996, after her siblings finished high school and she was already living in the United States, her parents moved back to Indonesia. In 1998, as a result of anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia, her parents twice left Indonesia and headed to Singapore. She testified that as of December 2000, her parents


lived in Indonesia but retained their residency in Singapore.

4
Firmansjah's most recent visa expired on December 26, 1997, and she acknowledged that she stayed in the United States beyond her visa's expiration. She stated that at the time of her graduation from college, she had planned to return to Indonesia. However, after riots in Indonesia in May 1998 during which ethnic Chinese persons were harmed, her parents advised her not to do so. Instead, she completed an application for asylum. On her application for asylum dated September 16, 1998, she stated that she had a "Singapore residence permit" and was "entitled to return to Singapore for residence reasons." At her hearing, she testified that although her parents were still Singapore residents, she no longer had "residency" in Singapore becauseit had expired in March of 2000.

5
Firmansjah asserted that if returned to Indonesia, she feared persecution based on her ethnicity (Chinese), religion (Catholic), and status as a young westernized Chinese woman. She expressed fear that the government was unable to control violence towards Christians or Chinese in Indonesia. She also testified that she did not know anyone personally who had been the victim of anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia.

6
The immigration judge denied Firmansjah's request for asylum on the ground that she had firmly resettled in Singapore prior to entering the United States. The immigration judge also denied her request for withholding of removal, reasoning that she had not established a clear probability that she would face persecution if returned to Indonesia. Her request for voluntary departure was granted, with


stamp, dated March 14, 1995, states it is a "multiple-journey visa for Singapore" valid until March 14, 2000. Firmansjah contends that there is no evidence that this time-limited stamp granted her "permanent" residency in Singapore.

16
Firmansjah's focus on the five-year nature of her visa stamp ignores significant other evidence in the record. In support of its position that it met its initial burden of demonstrating that Firmansjah was firmly resettled prior to entering the United States, the government points to Firmansjah's statements on her asylum application and her testimony at the hearing. First, in answer to a question on the asylum application that asked, "Do you ... now hold, or have you ever held, permanent residence, other permanent status, or citizenship, in any country other than the one fromwhich you are now claiming asylum?", Firmansjah checked "Yes" and typed, "I do have a Singapore permanent resident permit." In addition, she stated elsewhere on her application that she was "entitled to return to Singapore for residence purposes." At the hearing, she confirmed the answers she had provided on her asylum application. She testified that she received a Singapore permanent resident card in 1988.4 In addition, she testified that at the time of her application in 1998, she still maintained her residency in Singapore.

17
We agree with the government that Firmansjah's admission in both her written application and oral testimony that she had received permanent resident status in Singapore satisfied the government's initial burden of producing evidence indicating that Firmansjah had resettled in a third country. The burden then


of her permanent residency status prior to the hearing in this case does not preclude a finding that Firmansjah had firmly resettled in Singapore. Firmansjah testified that by the time of the December 2000 hearing, she no longer had her residency in Singapore and believed it had expired in March of that year. She testified that at the time she filed for asylum, however, she still maintained permanent residency status in Singapore. She explained that maintaining her residency status in Singapore required her to return to Singapore to obtain an extension. However, she had not done so.

21
The text of the statute provides that firm resettlement is determined by asking whether the applicant was firmly resettled "prior to" arrival in the United States. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(2). In Abdallafuture prosecution on account of her status as a Catholic, ethnic Chinese woman who has been westernized. Although we are not unsympathetic to the applicant, we cannot say the immigration judge's finding—that Firmansjah did not demonstrate it was "more likely than not" that she would be persecuted upon a return to Indonesia—was unsupported by substantial evidence.

30
Firmansjah first argues that the immigration judge improperly rejected her claim that she was a member of a discrete and cognizable group of Roman Catholic women of Chinese ethnicity who have been westernized. The immigration judge did not base his decision on whether she was a member of a "social group," however. Rather, the immigration judge stated that while he did not believe that Christian ethnic Chinese women who had studied in the


United States constituted a cognizable "particular social group," Firmansjah failed to show this group had been targeted by the government or by groups the government is unable or unwilling to control.

31
Next, Firmansjah challenges the finding that she did not establish it was "more likely than not" that she would be persecuted if returned to Indonesia. The record contains numerous documents concerning conditions in Indonesia, including newspaper articles, reports by human rights organizations, and State Department reports. This documentary evidence corroborates Firmansjah's testimony of a history of anti-Chinese sentiment in Indonesia, as well as civil unrest and anti-Chinese violence in Indonesia in 1998. In May 1998, rioting broke out in Indonesia following the shooting of students by police snipers, and anti-Chinese sentiment led to widespread attacks on Chinese-owned businesses.According to the 1999 State Department report, at least 85 instances of violence against ethnic Chinese women, including 66 rapes, were verified during the 1998 riots. In addition, Firmansjah testified that although she was then residing in the United States, her parents twice left Indonesia in 1998 to escape rioting.

32
The immigration judge properly recognized the "religious and ethnic strife" that continued to exist in Indonesia at the time of his decision. As the immigration judge observed, however, the 1998 riots resulted in the overthrow of the existing government. The next year, a democratically elected parliament elected a new president. The 1999 State Department Report found that "Racially motivated attacks against ethnic Chinese citizens dropped sharply during [1999]," and newspaper articles in the record discussed steps taken by the


Board of Trade may meet on Oct 11 to review exports

October 05, 2011 14:04 IST

The high-level Board of Trade chaired by Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma is expected to meet next week to review India's export performance in the wake of uncertain economic conditions in Western markets.

A meeting of the Board of Trade, an advisory body to the Commerce Ministry, is likely to be held on October 11, a ministry official said.

The BoT, which has representation from business chambers and trade bodies like the Engineering Export Promotion Council and Federation of Indian Export Organisations, may discuss the impact of rupee fluctuation, rising interest rates and uncertain economic conditions in Western markets on the country's exports.

Teddy Purcell scored twice and Brett Connolly lit the lamp once for the Lightning, who have lost three of their last four and sit eight points behind the New York Rangers for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference with eight games left.

Ben Bishop allowed all six goals on 41 shots in the setback.

"They were getting pucks in off skates, off sticks and that's what happened," said Bishop. "They did a good job of getting bodies in front of the net and creating some confusion."

Jokinen opened the scoring just over four minutes in when he pounded home a rebound off a Brenden Morrow backhander to make it 1-0 at the 4:07 mark.

Dupuis followed with a power-play marker just under two minutes later, as he


buried a rebound from the low right side to double Pittsburgh's edge at 6:02.

Purcell's tip-in tally with four minutes left in the first trimmed the deficit in half, but the Penguins answered while on the power play early in the second when Jarome Iginla's one-timer from the top of the left circle deflected off Kunitz before slipping past Bishop to make it 3-1 at the 1:48 mark of the second.

However, the Lightning responded just under four minutes later when Connolly lit the lamp with a one-timer at the 5:46 mark.

The Penguins, though, outshot the Lightning 14-4 in the third and scored three times in the frame to pull away.

A typical relay is mounted on a base and consists of a frame, a coil assembly consisting of a bobbin with a coil circumferentially wound around the bobbin, a core concentrically located within the coil assembly, a spring-loaded armature assembly, and two electrical contacts, one on the armature assembly and one secured to either the base or bobbin. A relay performs its switching function when the coil is energized, creating a magnetic field which closes the gap between the armature assembly and the core, causing the contact on the armature assembly to make with the contact on the base or bobbin and thereby closing an electrical circuit. When the coil is de-energized

This Bahá'í House of Worship is one of just seven Bahá'í temples in the world and is the only of its kind found in North America. It's just 30 minutes north of Chicago in Wilmette, Illinois.

Although the house of worship was created with a mixture of quartz and cement, the intricately carved temple looks as if it's made of white lace. Like all Bahá'í houses of worship, the circular temple has nineLai Temple in Hacienda Heights, California

With its traditional Chinese design, this Buddhist temple looks like it came from the Far East.

Although it was completed in 1988, the temple's architecture is faithful to the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties, which ruled in China from the 14th to 20th centuries.

The Hsi Lai Temple features golden tiles in its buildings, protective figurines on its roof and a peaceful courtyard at its center. A bird's-eye view shows the building is shaped like a bodhi leaf, symbolic of the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment.

Inside the temple, an art gallery includes both Eastern and Western paintings, ceramics, photographs and Buddhist artifacts.

"People come here and say, 'I don't know I'm in Southern California. It seems I am in another part of the world,'" said


the temple's director of outreach, Miao Hsi.

The temple is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day free of charge, and tours are offered on weekends. For a $7 donation, visitors can enjoy the temple's Chinese vegetarian buffet.

Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan

Although it is a modern mosque in Michigan, inspiration for the Islamic Center of America came from venerable houses of worship in Turkey, India and other countries.

With a stone-carved edifice and fiberglass dome, the mosque's design is distinct. Inside, visitors will find crystal chandeliers, imported granite and a prayer room decorated with Islamic motifs and calligraphy of Quranic verses created by a Lebanese artist.

The 65,000-square-foot facility services nearly 5,000 families in a city with one of the largest Arab-Muslim populations in the U.S. ThisMorrison Flagler, who built the church in 1889. Flagler had always had a special place for St. Augustine in his heart, investing heavily in the city after visiting with his first wife, Mary. And when his beloved daughter died after complications from childbirth, Flagler knew the Presbyterian church he was planning to build in town would be erected in her honor.

Flagler, along with Mary, Jenny Louise and his granddaughter, Marjorie, are all entombed at the church.

The structure's detailed design draws influence from the churches of Europe, including Venice's St. Mark's Basilica. It features wood-carved walls, stained-glass windows, a peaceful sanctuary and a prominent dome that inspires guests to lift their eyes toward the heavens.

"People walk in, and they see a little piece of Europe," church historian Jay Smith


said. "I wouldn't say it rivals the European cathedrals, but it has its own unique beauty and majesty, and people are very surprised by that."

Smith said people must remember to appreciate the rich history of Memorial Presbyterian Church and the city that surrounds it. Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the longest continually inhabited city founded by Europeans in the U.S.

Memorial Presbyterian Church is open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and tours of the building are conducted on weekdays.

Temple Emanu-El in New York City

With a sanctuary that stands 103 feet tall, 100 feet wide and 175 feet long and seating for 2,500 people, New York's Temple Emanu-El is one of the largest Jewish temples in the world.

Inside, Temple Emanu-El is full ofcolor. The ceiling is painted and gilded, its arches are lined with mosaics of glass and marble, and there are more than 60 stained glass windows. The temple is also home to a museum that houses artifacts important in Jewish history.

Completed in 1929, Temple Emanu-El's 5th Avenue and 65th Street location is the fifth home for its congregation, whose members have been worshiping in New York since 1845.

Mark Heutlinger, administrator of the Emanu-El congregation, said the temple and its members are an important fixture "on the greatest street in the greatest land in the greatest city of religious freedom."

"We are a part and parcel of the mosaic society of New York — the quilt of cultures that represents New York City," Heutlinger said.

Admission to Temple Emanu-El is free,


and it is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Palace of Gold in Moundsville, West Virginia

A name like Palace of Gold comes with high expectations, and this West Virginia shrine doesn't disappoint.

The Indian-inspired palace is expansive, with marble floors, crystal chandeliers, stained-glass windows, wood-carved furniture and walls covered in leaves of 22-karat gold. The grounds surrounding the building feature an impressive rose garden, a fountain, thousands of different bushes and a lotus-filled lake.

It's hard to believe this exquisite palace, which opened in 1979, was initially intended to be just a simple house.

In 1973, West Virginia devotees of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a Hindu organization more commonly known in the U.S. as the Hare Krishna movement, had decided to build a home for theirspecial instruction and ordinances, such as celestial marriages. But the view from outside the temple is inspirational enough.

The Neo-Gothic building, which was dedicated in 1893, took 40 years to construct. Except for some of its hardware and glass, the temple was built completely of native materials. With five floors, six spires -- the tallest standing at 210 feet -- and a granite facade, the structure is definitely imposing.

Salt Lake Temple is at the heart of Temple Square, three blocks containing nearly 20 attractions significant to Latter-day Saints' life and history, such as Assembly Hall and the Salt Lake City Tabernacle.

In 2011, Temple Square saw about 2,750,000 visitors from all over the world. And for those not allowed inside the temple, a scaled model is on display in the


Temple Square South Visitors' Center, which shows off the building's interior.

Most buildings in Temple Square are open daily to the public, free of charge.

St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City

Although St. Patrick's Cathedral isn't as tall as the skyscrapers that surround it, the cathedral has an old-world grandeur that's rare in New York.

The design of this Neo-Gothic church, which features soaring spires, an elaborate marble exterior and colorful stained glass windows, was inspired by the great cathedrals of Europe. Replacing a church of the same name, St. Patrick's Cathedral opened its doors in 1879 to help accommodate a growing Catholic population in the city.

The cathedral is iconic in Midtown Manhattan, known as a place of retreat, Monsignor Robert Ritchie said.

For days he had stalked his prey on the frozen wastelands north of Pond Inlet, one of Canada's most isolated Inuit communities deep inside the Arctic Circle. His dog team picked up the scent of an eight-foot adult male and they hurtled over the ice: the hunt was on.

"It was one of those beautiful Arctic days," recalled Mr Warner. "We'd had about 14 hours of sunlight and were completely surrounded by nature. The moment of death comes quickly for the bear. You might track one for days through the ice but a single shot to the heart kills it instantly."

For wealthy modern-day trophy hunters, bagging a polar bear is the ultimate kill. Fourteen days


can't bring your trophy back."

The latest US-led scientific surveys suggest that up to two-thirds of all polar bears could be lost by 2050 – bringing the sustainability of hunting into question. Tackling the issue has been unpalatable for host governments because of the hunts' traditional role and ongoing economic importance in Inuit life. As the mercury rises, the fates of ursus maritimus, Mr Warner and the Inuit hunters will become ever more precariously intertwined.of this year.

A prosecutor decided to release the man after questioning, and police were trying to help him continue his journey to Karachi either late Saturday or Sunday, police spokesman Erik Widstrand said, adding the man had cooperated with investigators.

"He was calm but irritated," Widstrand said.

"The suspicions against the man were not sufficiently strong for an arrest order and he is therefore free to leave Sweden," the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

The pilot asked to land the plane in Stockholm after Canadian authorities said they received a tip by phone the man was carrying explosives. Passengers were told there was a technical problem with the aircraft and didn't find out the real reason until they were on the ground, Widstrand said.

A SWAT team detained the suspect as he wasevacuated from the aircraft along with the other passengers. An Associated Press reporter at the airport saw the passengers boarding yellow airport buses parked near the aircraft.

The tip was "called in by a woman in Canada," police operation leader Stefan Radman said, adding that Swedish police took the threat seriously.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman Sgt. Marc LaPorte said an anonymous caller called twice Friday saying a man on the flight had explosives.

"The first call provided vague information. It did lay out that there was an individual on that specific flight in possession of explosives and then the second call provided more details with regards to the identity of the person," LaPorte said.

He declined to elaborate on the caller, saying there was potentially a criminal offense involved.

The Soldier Bear - World War II
A new Polish army was setting up in the Middle East in 1942 under British command,
when one of the soldiers noticed a bear cub presented to them by an Iranian boy.
The bear had been made an orphan after its mother had been shot by hunters.
The soldiers purchased the cub and it was taken under care by a civilian refugee in the camp.
In August, the bear was donated to the 2nd Transport Company,
or what would become known as the 22nd Artillery Supply Company of the Polish II Corps
and given the name Wojtek by the soldiers,
and soon, he would become a morale-boosting mascot for the troops.
The soldiers fed him milk from aEgypt to enter Italy in 1943,
there was a problem with Wojtek's status as an animal, and he would not be allowed to accompany the soldiers in the fighting.
To get around this, the bear was officially drafted into the Polish army as a Private,
and given his own pay book and serial number.
During the Battle of Monte Cassino, Wojtek supported the artillerymen by carrying crates of ammunition to the men.
One of his carers, Henryk Zacharewicz, had had to leave the bear alone for the day to spot targets.
Wojtek was chained near the soldiers firing artillery and started copying what the men were doing:
picking up the crates and carrying them near to the cannons!
After the battle the 22nd Artillery Supply Company made their badge a depiction of a bear holding a


of the soldiers would have to say goodbye to Wojtek as their service would take them to other parts of the world.
Following demobilization in 1947, Wojtek would live in Edinburgh Zoo,
where he became popular with the locals, visited by journalists and the Polish ex-servicemen who fought with him.
He would pass away in 1963 at the age of 21.

Click the link in the description belowIn 1975 the UK held a referendum on whether we should remain a part of the European Community. Daniel Payne explores some of the campaigning literature and other material the Library holds from that referendum.

Thankfully or otherwise, the internet did not yet exist in 1975, so the body of information capturing the debate around the UK’s membership is not quite as complicated as it is in 2016. Nonetheless, there was a wealth of printed material used during the run-up to the 1975 campaign. The official campaigning organisations consisted of “Britain in Europe” (campaigning for a Yes) and the “National Referendum Campaign” (campaigning for a No), who both produced leaflets as a result of a government grant which were then distributed to households in the UK.

Leaflets from 1975 Referendum.

From a lunch in December 1974, Hetherington interviews Peter Shore (a Labour politician who was opposed to the UK’s entry into the EEC):

He [Shore] expects to win. He seemed genuinely quite confident about that (Unless he was putting on a remarkably good act). He thought that we would come out and stay out. For him, the most important question lies…. in the political psychology of membership.

Third Emmy for Ballycastle man’s work on Game of Thrones

Ballycastle man Ronan Hill won his third Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama series (one hour) at the Creative Awards in Los Angeles Saturday night.

Hill has worked on all 60 episodes of the epic television series starting with the pilot episode of Game of Thrones.

Speaking after attending the awards ceremony in LA, Ronan said: “Its amazing to be part of one of the biggest shows in the world.

“This award is a tribute to my hard working team and the highly professional and talented local and international production team and crew.

“Game of Thrones has put us on the map, not only showcasing the natural beauty of our surrounding landscape but setting out the stall forA current hot topic of conversation on our local message boards as well as on letsrun is the decline of quality depth in local racing and in marathoning more generally. In the late 70s to mid 80s, there was a running boom, much like there is today. That boom had some different qualities, but in some ways I believe that it came from a similar source. In the late 70s to early 80s there was a sense of general unease. Economic conditions were uncertain, and the national mood was anxious. Perhaps these general social conditions put people on the move. They make us nomadic as a culture, looking for a better way of life.Also, in running, the relationship between effort and results is clear. It is a good


proxy for the American dream--you put work in and you get results out. When this dream is jeopardized by economic uncertainty and high unemployment, running offers, perhaps a way to remake the connection between effort and results.Despite what I see as these general similarities in the motivating causes of the running boom, there are some real differences in the nature and shape of these two different booms. In the 70s the iconic figure of the distance runners was Steve Prefontaine. The representative runner was young, male, defiant, and individualistic. Running was a way to escape social pressure, a way to take individual control over one's life. The country was captured by folks like Prefontaine, Bill Rodgers, and Alberto Salazar. These were household names, iconic figures who were admiredWASHINGTON – Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates today announced that Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, known by various aliases including “El Chapo,” will face charges filed in Brooklyn, New York, following his extradition to the United States from Mexico, alleging that he was operating a continuing criminal enterprise and other drug-related crimes through his leadership of the Mexican organized crime syndicate known as the Sinaloa Cartel.

Acting Attorney General Yates was joined in making the announcement by U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers of the Eastern District of New York; U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer of the Southern District of Florida; Deputy Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Blanco of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); Executive Associate Director Peter T. Edge of


U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Assistant Director In Charge William F. Sweeney of the FBI New York Field Office: U.S. Marshal Charles G. Dunne of the Eastern District of New York U.S. Marshals Service and Commissioner of the New York City Police Department James P. O’Neill.

Guzman Loera, 59, arrived in the United States on Jan. 19, and will be arraigned on a 17-count superseding indictment on Jan. 20, before U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein in federal court in Brooklyn. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan. Following his extradition to the United States on related charges filed in the Western District of Texas and Southern District of California, the Mexican government approved a request by the United States to proceedwith prosecution on the charges filed in the Eastern District of New York on May 11, 2016.

The charges in the indictment filed against Guzman Loera in the Eastern District of New York will be prosecuted jointly by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in Brooklyn and Miami and the Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section of the Criminal Division.

The indictment alleges that between January 1989 and December 2014, Guzman Loera led a continuing criminal enterprise responsible for importing into the United States and distributing massive amounts of illegal narcotics and conspiring to murder persons who posed a threat to Guzman Loera’s narcotics enterprise.

Guzman Loera is also charged with using firearms in relation to his drug trafficking and money laundering relating to the bulk smuggling from the United States to Mexico of


boats, and submarines into ports the enterprise controlled in Southern Mexico and other locations throughout Central America. From there, it was shipped through Mexico to distribution hubs in the United States.

As one of the principal leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, Guzman Loera allegedly also oversaw the cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana smuggling activities by the Sinaloa Cartel to wholesale distributors in Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, New York, as well as in various locations in Arizona, Los Angeles and elsewhere. The billions of dollars generated from drug sales in the United States were then clandestinely transported back to Mexico.

To evade law enforcement and protect the enterprise’s narcotics distribution activities, Guzman Loera and the Sinaloa Cartel allegedly employed various means including the use of “sicarios,” or hit men, who carried outhundreds of acts of violence in Mexico, including murder, to collect drug debts, silence potential witnesses, and prevent public officials from taking action against the cartel. To intimidate and eliminate his rivals, during the Sinaloa Cartel’s internecine war for territory with the Juarez Cartel from approximately 2007 through 2011, Guzman Loera directed these assassins to kill thousands of drug trafficking competitors, during which many of his victims were beheaded.

The government’s case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrea Goldbarg, Hiral Mehta, Patricia Notopoulos, Gina Parlovecchio and Michael Robotti from the Eastern District of New York; Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adam Fels, Lynn Kirkpatrick and Kurt Lunkenheimer from the Southern District of Florida; and Trial Attorneys Amanda Liskamm, Anthony Nardozzi and Michael Lang of the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and


Dangerous Drug Section.

The case was investigated by the DEA, ICE and the FBI, in cooperation with Mexican and Colombian law enforcement authorities. Substantial assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the Northern District of Illinois, the Western District of Texas, the Southern District of New York, the Southern District of California, and the District of New Hampshire. The Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs also provided assistance in bringing Guzman Loera to the United States to face charges. The investigative efforts in this case were coordinated with the Department of Justice’s Special Operations Division, comprising agents, analysts, and attorneys from the Criminal Division’s Narcotic and Dangerous Drug Section, DEA, FBI, ICE, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service, the InternalRevenue Service Criminal Investigation, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, and the New York State Police.

The United States would like to extend its appreciation to the Government of Mexico and, in particular, President Enrique Peña Nieto, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray Caso and Attorney General Raul Cervantes Andrade for their assistance in this case.

This case is also the result of the ongoing efforts by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) a partnership that brings together the combined expertise and unique abilities of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt, dismantle and prosecute high level members of drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations and enterprises.

The discs are screwed separately into the floor surface and the post. The center aperture receives a threaded stud and the post is then secured to the floor by screwing the exposed end of the threaded stud into the opposing disc. While the Nicholas device conceals the fasteners, boring is required in both the post and the floor surface. The system is designed primarily for newel posts used with interior railing systems. The mounting discs and stud are fitted very shallow into the opposing mating surfaces and therefore the union is not as strong as it would be if the stud were to protrude deeper into the post. It is also unsuitable for outdoor applications because the base of the post would be in direct contact with theComposition of the saprophytic bacterial communities in freshwater systems contaminated by heavy metals.

Chism by the probation officer was extremely conservative. In making this

assessment, he testified to the information collected in multiple exhibits which

documented each call and the amount of powder cocaine purchased by Mr. Chism.

He also testified the intercepted conversations revealed complaints by Mr. Chism

on multiple occasions about his difficulty in converting the powder cocaine

supplied to him into crack cocaine based on the purity of the cocaine he received

from his supplier.

      Based on his training and experience, the investigating officer testified

in that substance, rather than also selling powder cocaine, so in the instances

Tanuki have long been a prominent part of Japanese culture and tradition. Statues of Japanese raccoon dogs, which natives consider to be masters of disguise and shapeshifting, can be found all over the country, adorning everything from ancient temples to noodle shops. If you walked by a schoolyard in Japan, you might hear the children singing a song about the tanuki to the tune of the American Baptist hymn, Shall We Gather at the River?

James Reimer didn't get his first set of new goalie pads until he was 15.

"They came in a big box, and I never had anything like that happen," he said. "I was pretty pumped. I think I probably slept with them for a couple nights."

Fellow Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier got an earlier start and pads just about every year.

"I was a pretty lucky kid," he said. "My parents treated me well."

Reimer, Bernier and Detroit Red Wings goaltenders Jimmy Howard, Jonas Gustavsson and Petr Mrazek were all like kids at Christmas in recent weeks showing off their special Winter Classic gear. But this game presents its own unique dilemma as each goalie had a mask and pads made up for a game that he may or mayalso hopes that Detroit coach Mike Babcock gives him the start for the Winter Classic.

Before Howard was injured, there seemed to be no doubt he'd be in net in Ann Arbor. But his absence opened the door for Gustavsson and Mrazek to at least think about taking part in the annual game.

"You can pick some different colours than you usually do, so it was fun," said Gustavsson, who has a mask with the Red Wings' vintage word marks on it to go with brown pads. "It's probably a one-time thing, so you really want to make it as good as possible."

That was Mrazek's theory, too, even though the 21-year-old didn't go the traditional route with his pads, which are bright red with child-like snowman drawings on them. The


Air Pano's relationship with volcanoes and mountains is complicated.

When Sergey Semenov and I went to Iceland in 2010 to photograph the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, instead of rivers of lava we found clouds of steam.

In 2011 Dima Moiseyenko was in Iceland on the fourth day of the Grímsvötn volcano eruption, but by that time a 20km-high tower of smoke had turned into a puff.

In 2012 strong winds stopped Dima a few kilometers away from Mount Everest.

This explains why, after reading Sergey Gorshkov's first report about the eruption of our native Plosky (Flat) Tolbachik in Kamchatka, we acted immediately.

We were scheduled to photograph hotels in Dubai in a few days, so we lost a fortune on last minute ticket cancellations. Then we went online looking for help on the Kamchatkathe Klyuchevskaya volcanic group.

About 10 000 years ago (in the Early Holocene), at the summit of Plosky Tolbachik was formed the first caldera some 3 km in diameter and also a regional zone of cinder cones northeast and southwest of the volcano resembling rifts Hawaiian volcanoes.

South zone extends about 45-50 km to the volcano Nikolka, and is called Tolbachinsky Dol. About 80% of the eruptive centers in the form of multitude fissures and chains of cinder cones concentrated along the center zone of Dol in a narrow (3-4 km) strip.

It is reliable known for two eruptions in Tolbachinsky Dol: 1941 and 1975-1976.

First took place on 7-14 May, 1941. The week of the eruption there were formed: the cinder cone about 200 m in height, 0.07 km3 of pyroclastics;


Ipswich Hospital blackout caused by faulty battery Published duration 15 August 2019

image caption The power loss affected outpatients, X-rays, scans and pathology for nearly half an hour

A faulty battery led to a back-up generator failing to kick in when a hospital lost power during a UK-wide power outage, it has been revealed.

When two power stations became disconnected from the National Grid last Friday, power was cut to places including Ipswich Hospital because of the loss of power nationally.

The hospital generator should have been turned on by a battery-powered switch.

The battery, despite being tested a few days before, failed.

image caption The battery was tested a few days before but failed, BBC Look East health correspondent Nikki Fox reported

The power loss affected outpatients, X-rays, scans and pathology for nearly halfan hour, but the hospital stressed no patients were put at risk.

Ipswich Hospital Trust managing director Neill Moloney said: "It was only a few days before that we tested the battery and it was working.

"So it came as a bit of a surprise. We were really happy with the way in which the staff responded."

BBC journalist Vikki Irwin told how her mother was on a scanner's hydraulic lift at the time.

She said: "They said the power had gone out across the site.

"Lots of parts of the hospital were completely dark. We had to get my mum down manually."


Robert Creeley (born May 21, 1926, Arlington, Massachusetts) was a poet with more than sixty books of poetry to his name.

He was the author of For Love and is usually grouped with the Black Mountain poets. He was quite friendly with Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg and John Wieners. For many years he taught at Buffalo and later at Brown University.

Robert Creeley passed away on March 30, 2005.Sinn Fein has announced it will not stand in three constituencies in Northern Ireland to help other pro-Remain candidates defeat DUP Brexiteers.

The party is standing aside in south and east Belfast and North Down - a move that puts the republicans in the highly unusual position of explicitly urging supporters to vote for a unionist, in the form of incumbent North Down MP Lady Sylvia Hermon.

Announcing the move in Belfast, party president Mary Lou McDonald also urged voters to back the SDLP's Claire Hanna in South Belfast and Alliance Party leader Naomi Long in East Belfast.

Sinn Fein's standing aside in South Belfast will strengthen SDLP candidate Ms Hanna's chance of beating sitting DUP MP Emma Little-Pengelly.

Among those whose reinstatement was ordered were five persons who had been found by a Maryland Circuit Judge to have been guilty of acts of violence in connection with a strike and who had been enjoined by him from further acts of violence. The respondent admitted at the bar of the court that, except as to that portion of the order directing the reinstatement of these five men, the action of the Board was based on substantial evidence and should be obeyed, but it contends that, within a week after the entry of the order, it notified the Board thatit would comply with all of the provisions of the order except those requiring the reinstatement of the five men and that, with this exception, the order has been fully complied with. Petition for enforcement of the order was not filed until September 30, 1949, more than a year after its entry, and there is no suggestion in the petition or elsewhere that the notice of respondent was not given in good faith or that, with the exception of the reinstatement of the five men, there has not been full compliance with the provisions of the order.
