Some Japanese agent (who may have been a cyborg I dunno) moved into the neighbourhood and started breaking into their houses. She had basically been sent to kill them all.

One of the other agents, possibly the plainest, was a young woman named… Careigh. She was short and kind of intense. She noticed that things were going missing, so she gathered everyone together. The Japanese agent flooded the room, but one of Careigh’s demon animal sidekick things (my dreams are weird) attacked her, forcing her into the flooded room.

Entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers are increasingly entering the business and searching for the holy grail of medicinal marijuana: a purified form of the drug. A purified form would come with minimal side-effects and would be easy to administer in accurate doses.

With strong backing from the business and medical sectors of the economy, Israel could quickly transform into a world hub in the field of medical cannabis.

Israel is concentrating on marketing its agronomic, medical and technological expertise in the hope of becoming a world leader.

Rapprochement with China

Continuing a rapprochement begun during the Nixon administration, Carter sought closer relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC). The two countries increasingly collaborated against the Soviet Union, and the Carter administration tacitly consented to the Chinese invasion of Vietnam. In 1979, Carter extended formal diplomatic recognition to the PRC for the first time. This decision led to a boom in trade between the United States and the PRC, which was pursuing economic reforms under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Carter allowed the sale of military supplies to

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. -

Scotts Valley police officers arrested a 22-year-old man they say called in a fake report and pretended to be a military veteran.

Officers received a call on March 7 from a man who claimed he had been having a conversation with his neighbor in which he told the neighbor he was an Iraq War veteran and that he had several firearms for sale. The caller, who police have identified as Christopher Michael King, told police that at the end of the conversation, the neighbor pointed his own fully automatic rifle at him.

Officers obtained a search warrant for the neighbor's home and found no such weapon. They determined


Against this insurgency, even President Andrew Johnson, an opponent of Reconstruction, continued the state of war for a year after Appomattox. When Johnson tried to end the war in the summer of 1866, Congress seized control of his war powers; from 1867 to 1870, generals in the South regulated state officials and oversaw voter registration, ensuring that freedmen could claim the franchise they had lobbied for. With the guidance of military overseers, new biracial governments transformed the Constitution itself, passing the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

The military occupation created pockets of stability and moments of order. Excluded from politics before the war, black men won more than 1,500 offices during Reconstruction. By 1880, 20 percent of black families owned farms.

But the occupation that helped support these gains couldnot be sustained. Anxious politicians reduced the Army’s size even as they assigned it more tasks. After Grant used the military to put down the Ku Klux Klan in the Carolinas in 1871, Congress and the public lost the will to pay the human and financial costs of Reconstruction.

Once white Southern Democrats overthrew Reconstruction between the 1870s and 1890s, they utilized the Appomattox myth to erase the connection between the popular, neatly concluded Civil War and the continuing battles of Reconstruction. By the 20th century, history textbooks and popular films like “The Birth of a Nation” made the Civil War an honorable conflict among white Americans, and Reconstruction a corrupt racial tyranny of black over white (a judgment since overturned by historians like W. E. B. DuBois and


Eric Foner).

Beyond the problem of historical accuracy, separating the war and the military from Reconstruction contributes to an enduring American amnesia about the Army’s role in remaking postwar societies. Many of the nation’s wars have followed the trajectory established at Appomattox: Cheers at the end of fighting are replaced by bafflement at the enduring conflict as the military struggles to fill the defeated government’s role, even as the American public moves on. After defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War, the Army undertook bloody campaigns to suppress rebellions and exert control over the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico. After World War II, a state of war endured into the 1950s in the occupation of Japan and Germany. And in the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United StatesMcLaren 720S: Keeping the Italians awake at night…

To put things into perspective: it has been only six years since McLaren launched its first sports car. Beginning where the legendary McLaren F1 left off, in six short years McLaren has established itself as a full-blown sports car manufacturer, and one that can easily rival with prancing horses or charging bulls.

The next chapter in this story is called the 720S, which was recently introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show. The successor of the 650S it features a 4 liter, 710-hp twin-turbocharged V-8, mounted behind the driver in the brand’s carbon-fiber composite tub. Carbon fiber is a key-word in the development of the 720S, as it replaces many parts that used to be from metal.

Less weight and more power mean


add some horsepower: they also redesign and redevelop as much of the car as possible. Next, to the new carbon fiber tub, this means newly developed crankshaft turbos, cylinder heads, and pistons for the engine, as well as several advancements in the suspension.

Another area in which McLaren is improving is its design. They found very quickly a refreshing, modern design language that fitted perfectly with the nature of their cars. With the 720S they take it to the next level. While it looks slightly more extreme than the 650S, it also reminds me a few other British supercars of an era long ago, like the Jaguar XJ220. With the 720S McLaren has established itself once more as the predominant British manufacturer of high-end performance cars, and might actuallySpanish government’s finances and force it to demand a sovereign bailout.

Bankia S.A. was formed in 2010 by merging seven savings banks. Back then it was one of Spain’s top financial entities and heralded as the solution to the country’s banking problems following the collapse of the once-booming property sector in 2008.

The 2012 results were more than six times bigger than the €3bn losses suffered in 2011.

The National Court is now investigating suspected mismanagement at Bankia by its former president -ex-ruling Popular Party minister and ex-IMF chief Rodrigo Rato – and 32 other one-time Bankia board members. Mr Rato has not been charged with any crime.

After the first ever cabinet meeting in the Golan Heights, Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech on April 17, 2016 that the territory “will remain under Israel’s sovereignty permanently.” This elicited admonitions from some of Israel’s greatest allies, the United States and Germany, and renewed attention on the issue.

The Golan Heights were opportunistically occupied by Israel after its victory in the 1967 six-day-war. A United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) has monitored the region since 1974, when Israel and Syria signed a ceasefire agreement, and it has been considered an occupied territory of the UN and the international community. In violation of this ceasefire, Israel effectively annexed the territory in 1981 by extending its laws and governmental apparatus over


it. Most of the native population has been displaced and over 30 settlements have been constructed to house Jewish settlers. These settlements, like those in the West Bank, are illegal under international law.

The current escalation is really about oil. Since 2013, the Netanyahu government has granted exclusive oil and gas exploration rights to the oil company Afek Energy in a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights. Afek Energy is an Israeli subsidiary of the US firm, Genie Energy. Afek’s director is former Israeli Housing Minister Effie Eitam, who is an illegal settler in the Golan Heights himself and is responsible for the fatal beatings of numerous Palestinians. Genie Energy’s strategy-advisory board includes former US Vice President Dick Cheney, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, andlargest ever. Germany is Israel’s next largest donor and military trading partner, which suggest that the indignation is mostly symbolic.

The ascent of Genie Energy, a small Newark-based company, to such geopolitical machinations goes back to the discovery of the Levant Basin (also known as the Leviathan Basin) off the Mediterranean coast in 2010, and the confirmation of first deposits of natural gas in the Golan Heights in 2011. The Levant Basin extends from the Northeastern coast of Egypt to the Northwestern coast of Syria and covers a vast area within the territorial waters of Egypt, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Shortly after this discovery and the announcement that Israel intended to begin exploration and drilling, the government of Lebanon objected to the unilateral move, given the fact that


rapidly expanding oil and gas market and to assist US companies pursuing export opportunities in this sector,” according to the US Department of Commerce. In reality, Landrieu was lobbying on behalf of Noble and Genie. But local environmental activists, and a consequent Knesset bill halted the venture in the Shfela Valley. By the time the bill passed, most of the company’s employees had moved to its sister subsidiary, Afek Energy.

US Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, and Israeli Treasury Director General, Doron Cohen, hosted the US-Israel Joint Economic Development Group (JEDG) in Washington on October 24, 2012. After the meeting, the JEDG signed an agreement to extend US loan guarantees of $3.8 billion to Israel to 2016, in order to develop its natural gas industry. In essence, the Obama administrationgave $3.8 billion of taxpayers’ money to Israel, so that they could use it to benefit the investments and interests of American and Israeli oil companies. Given this financial backing and success of her first mission, Landrieu sent a second delegation of 12 energy (gas and oil) company representatives to Israel. During a roundtable discussion hosted by Landrieu and the Chair of Israel’s oil and gas association, Uri Aldubi, “the delegation received presentations from Noble Energy, Zion Oil, and Genie Energy.” They also met with Uzi Landau, Israel’s Minister of National Infrastructure.

All the while, the US ambassador to Israel lobbied Israeli Members of Knesset (MKs) to support legislation that would favor the gas and oil industry, particularly after the botched project in the Shfela Valley. These efforts were


largely successful and resulted in the 2013-14 US-Israel Energy Cooperation Bill, which is intended to foster cooperation between Israeli and American energy companies in the exploitation of these “strategic” reserves.

After the passage of the US-Israel Energy Cooperation bill and grant of rights in the area, Afek Energy continued its exploratory and drilling operations. In October 2015, Israel and Afek Energy announced the discovery of oil reserves of 10 times the global average and capable of ensuring Israel’s energy sufficiency for many years. The announcement did not garner much attention outside the industry, but its connection to the recent militarization of the area by Israel was not coincidental. During a Washington visit on November 9, Benjamin Netanyahu asked President Barack Obama to back a formal Israeli annexation of theGolan Heights, citing the dysfunctional Syrian government, gripped by a foreign-backed civil war. He failed to mention that Israel was undermining the Assad regime and Hezbollah forces that were attempting to thwart ISIS in the region. Other political figures within Israel, such as Zvi Hauser, claimed that Israel should demand this annexation as a compensation for having tolerated the nuclear agreement with Iran.

In the past year Israel has intensified its military presence in the region and contributed to the armed conflict by utilizing the region as a staging and support ground for anti-Assad Islamist groups. As far back as 2012, UNDOF reported that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were seen providing military and medical aid, on numerous occasions, to al-Nusra affiliated extremist groups engaged in hostilities against President


Bashar al Assad in the South of Syria. In the week leading up to Netanyahu’s announcement of unilateral annexation, the Israeli military forces practiced a series of weeklong drills in the region, as well as along the border with Lebanon, in an apparent show of force. More recently, there have been reports of Israeli weapon shipments also being seized along Syria’s southern border, and intended for rebel groups in Syria. This suggests that the area is being used as a staging ground to destabilize the Assad regime even while this destabilization serves as a justification for the annexation.

Perhaps the IDF worries that the Syrian Arab Army, with the help of the Russian Aerospace Forces, is regaining territory formerly under rebel control and that, once this task is achieved,chancellor of the university, by virtue of office.

an examination of the labour market relied on the annual publication of average wages. That is how the story of flat wages for the many and super-returns for the few over such a long period has emerged. Each calculation of average wages is a snapshot of all the people in the workforce. Unfortunately, millions of people quit the labour market during the year and others join. It is not the same cohort, and not just at the outer margins.

Robert J Shapiro, a former economic adviser to Bill Clinton who now runs the Sonecon consultancy in Washington, grabbed the opportunity to look at the raw census data when the US statistical office published it a few years ago.

He tracked the median incomes of average households as they travelled throughthe decades, checking on the progress of men versus women, Hispanic people versus black and white people, college graduates and different age groups. The report presents us with a more nuanced picture of the workforce and how it has fared.

He found that the 1980s boom, which gained traction in the middle of the decade, boosted the wages of all but the oldest group of workers. So large, steady income gains characterised the average household whether they were headed by men or women, or by people with high school diplomas or college degrees, whatever their ethnicity.

As Shapiro said: “This evidence contradicts the narrative told by those who track the value of aggregate income from the 1970s to present the claim that most Americans have made little progress for decades.”

The


momentum dissipated in the first Bush presidency between 1989 and 1993 and accelerated again in the Clinton years before running out of steam in the early 2000s

Then came the downturn. The second Bush era, under George W, was painful for almost all but twentysomething college graduates, who even survived the 2008 crash with barely a scratch, and was worst for those without a high school diploma. Shapiro says the least educated saw their incomes “devastated” after 2001.

“Across the three younger age-cohorts, the median income of households headed by people without high school diplomas fell an average of 1.9% per year as they aged through the 2002-2007 expansion; and over the entire period from 2002 to 2013, their median incomes fell by an average of 1.8% year as theyaged,” the report says.

Between 2010 and 2013, households where the main earner had been aged 25 to 29 back in 1982 suffered even more if they quit education before going to high school. They lost 7.1% in income in each year as vast numbers either took a cut in pay, in hours or were made unemployed.

The rise and fall of the average workers’ wages documented in the report chimes with the business cycle and the trend in Europe, which followed a similar trajectory.

The average German worker made income gains through the same period before a deregulation of the labour market under the Social democrat Gerhard Schroeder brought about an effective freeze in wages from 2003.

In the UK, the chancellor at the time, Gordon Brown, reacted to the downturn


by switching on the government spending taps. He introduced tax credits as an income top-up to offset the trend for flat or falling real wages. It was a policy that insulated British workers from a trend that clobbered Americans and to a lesser extent German workers.

Retelling the economic story of the 1980s, Shapiro says the US benefited from a mix of Reagan’s expansionary policies in defence and infrastructure and the collapse of commodity prices after the inflationary oil shocks of the 1970s.

George Bush senior was forced to cope with the borrowing hangover from the Reagan years before Clinton assumed the presidency.

It’s no surprise Shapiro is a cheerleader for the Clinton years, which he argues developed employment and productivity boosting policies that favoured women, minorities and low-income employees likeHow do you outdo one of the most notorious, extreme splatter movies ever made? Simple: make an art film. Though still chock full of the usual body bonking and assorted gross outs, this is a far more elegant and polished piece of work than its predecessor, more concerned with a mood of unease and melancholia than spraying bodily fluids (until the last five minutes, anyway).

Beautiful young nurse and fledgling necrophile Monika (Monika M.) steals into a graveyard and digs up the rotting corpse of Rob, our hero from the first film. She takes his congealed remains home and deposits him in the bathtub, where does some impromptu prep work and dresses him up to pose for homemade photographs. Of course, our happy couple becomes a love triangle thanks


to Mark (Mark Reeder), a nice but slightly kinky guy who makes his living dubbing and providing sound effects(!) for hardcore porn films. When she isn't at home spending quality time with deadbeat Rob, Monika goes with Mark to pretentious art films and watches seal brutality videos, occasionally suspending him naked by his feet. The strain soon takes its toll, however, and Monika devises an ingenious and thoroughly perverse solution for the two suitors in her life.

Best known as the film that finally sent the German censors off the deep end (including a well-publicized theatrical raid and attempts to destroy the negative), Nekromantik 2 (sometimes subtitled The Return of the Loving Dead) uses its comparatively epic running time for a more ambitious and densely-textured narrative. While the corpsethe lyrical music score, along with five other people!)

As with the original, Nekromantik 2 became an instant word-of-mouth sensation in the horror community and became a popular swap item at conventions, particularly once word of its legal troubles began spreading around the globe. Film Threat issued a VHS that became an eye-catching fixture at more adventurous video stores, and In 2003, the now-defunct Barrel Entertainment released an impressive DVD with a transfer that's still quite satisfying for a standard def presentation of a 16mm film. The new stereo mix is mostly confined to the music, while the mono original is retained as well. Buttgereit returns for another commentary along with co-writer Franz Rodenkirchen and the two lead actors; it's a highly enjoyable and informative track, ranging from discussions


of the extensive make-up appliances to the censorship hassles to the camaraderie behind the scenes.

"The Making of Nekromantik 2" is basically a repurposed version of the half hour of making-of footage from the Buttgereit documentary, Corpse F*cking Art; the creation of Rob's corpse is especially interesting to watch and makes one very, very sorry for the poor actor, whose ordeal wouldn't be out of place in a Jackass episode. Also included are German radio interviews with Buttgereit and Rodenkirchen (with optional subs); "Rise Up" (a heavy metal music video for The Krupps directed by Buttgereit); "Manne: The Movie," an early Super-8 Buttgereit film apparently done as a lark; a reel of outtakes showing bloopers and the crew at work on the set; a huge still gallery; trailers forthe Nekromantik films along with Schramm and Der Todesking (annoyingly still unavailable on DVD in the U.S. -- please do this, Cult Epics!); a hidden peek at a Buttgereit-designed video game; and of course, the usual filmographies. David Kerekes and Buttgereit contribute liner notes to the extensive booklet, and the first 20,000 units included a second bonus disc, a soundtrack CD containing music from both Nekromantik films along with extra tracks (cover and alternate versions). The first handful of tracks are in mono, but have no fear; most of the music from both films is in beautiful stereo and would stand as a particularly odd New Age album on its own terms.

Twelve years later, Nekromantik 2 followed the path of the first film to Blu-ray from Cult Epics.


Advances in video technology have resulted in a startling transfer that easily blows away any other version of the film, taken from the 16mm negative. Apart from the opening credits (which integrate footage from the "climax" of the Super 8 original), it's a very detailed, colorful experience with an appropriate veneer of light grain and rich, deep black levels. The original 1.33:1 aspect ratio is maintained, and the German audio is presented in Dolby Digital stereo. The original mono mix and a slightly beefier 5.1 mix are also included in Dolby Digital; it would be nice to have these lossless, but given the tinny nature of the original mix, what's here sounds fine.

The film can be played with or without a new video intro from Buttgereit in Berlin;he quickly runs through the film's troubles in its native country and advises that you watch it as a love story, not a horror film. The original commentary is carried over here along with the video making-of, outtakes, and trailers for Nekromantik 1 and 2, Der Todesking, Schramm, and Hot Love. Otherwise it's all new stuff here, kicking off with a great 11-minute segment of the film's musicians (including Monika M.) performing the score live at a 20th anniversary screening in 2011. "A Moment of Silence at the Grave of Ed Gein" is a (very, very) short Buttgereist shot in 2012 at the famous serial killer's unmarked grave, and the 2014 Buttgereit music video, "Lemmy, I'm a Feminist" by Half Girl, is a fun slice of German rock

New York GiantsThe White House is refusing to condemn a staffer who said during a closed-door meeting that Arizona Sen. John McCain's opinion "doesn't matter" because "he's dying anyway."

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says the aide, Kelly Sadler, still works for the White House. Sanders is refusing to otherwise weigh in on the comments or condemn them.

Sanders tells reporters she's "not going to validate a leak out of an internal staff meeting one way or the other." She did not mention McCain's name.

McCain's wife and daughter Meghan have both condemned the comments.

The White House said Thursday night in a statement: "we respect Senator McCain's service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time."

Sanders says the White House has respect for


all Americans.

2 p.m.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden says a White House official's comments about Sen. John McCain showed when "decency would hit rock bottom with this administration."

Biden is responding to the dismissal of McCain's opposition to President Donald Trump's CIA nominee. The aide said "it doesn't matter" because "he's dying anyway." That's according to two people, who were in the room at the time and who spoke to The Associated Press

Biden, a Democrat, says McCain in a genuine hero and "he deserves better — so much better."

Biden says that given the White House's trail of disrespect toward McCain and others, the aide is not an exception to the rule, but the "epitome of it."

Biden also says children learn from example and the lingering question is whose example it willthe removed cover member is troublesome.
Another conventional example of the lens barrel with a cover member includes one in which a sliding cover member is provided on an apparatus body of the imaging apparatus to power on/off the imaging apparatus according to a slide position of the sliding cover member.
Since the above conventional example requires rail portions for supporting the sliding cover member and a retaining mechanism for retaining the cover member while keeping the cover member closed or open, the imaging apparatus becomes larger.


Once upon a time, five hundred years ago, there was a clergyman in a village church in Devon who had a problem. As part of his duties as priest, he needed to hear the confessions of his parishioners, when he would hear their sins and grant them forgiveness. In other village churches, the people would come to the church and make their confessions there. But in the parish of Bere Ferrers, on a peninsula between the rivers Tavy and Tamar in south-west Devon, the parishioners were scattered in their farms and there were several silver mines. How could he plan to hear confessions? Farming went alongside mining; some people did both. As he considered his parish, this priest (let's call him Father Geoffrey because that sounds suitably medieval)had two thoughts about his problem.First, if he told the miners to come to the church for confession, they would lose at least a day's production at the mine - one day for the return trip to the church and a little more time to catch up on the effects of a day away from the mine. And the king needed the silver. So did the church, which derived part of its income from the mines.Second, if he went to the miners (against the well-established customs in other parishes) he could visit all the outlying farms, visit the sick, and enjoy the hospitality of some of the farmers. This might be pleasant. He could have a tour of the parish as well as doing his church duty.Father Geoffrey


was not only thoughtful, he was educated; in fifteenth century Devon, there were not many people who could read and write. He wrote down in a list the names of the forty-eight households or mines in the parish. And he drew a simple map of these forty-eight. And one day, he rearranged his list to make a route around those places, making sure that he never doubled-back on himself. Then he divided the list into a succession of days, to balance the number of confessions to be heard each day and (privately) to give himself a nice place to stay overnight. His choice of visiting would have more benefits than summoning his parishioners to the church.So, one day, a fortnight before Easter, Father Geoffrey made his tour ofthe parish. It was a great success. His parishioners enjoyed seeing him. Bere Ferrers in spring is a beautiful place. He returned to his home tired, well-fed and happy, ready for the celebration of Easter.So successful was his trip, that he repeated it the next year. And, to remind himself of the route, he wrote it down. His church owned several manuscripts (this was, of course, before the first printed books). He recorded his journey on the back of one of the church manuscripts, so he could do the tour again, and perhaps his successor in the parish could do it as well. Amazingly, the manuscript survived the centuries and is kept in the library of Exeter Cathedral, with that sequential list on the back in Father Geoffrey's


scrawling handwriting.Five hundred years later, a medievalist in Exeter, Professor Avril Henry, discovered that the handwritten notes on the back of this manuscript formed Father Geoffrey's carefully ordered list of the households of his parish, divided into fourteen groups. Some of those groups were identified alongside days of the week. Professor Henry interpreted the list as a tour of the parish. But, to interpret it as instructions for hearing confessions went against other evidence from medieval church records. So Professor Henry was suggesting something new.A few years further on, I came across Professor Henry's paper, and read about the controversy it had caused. Her paper included a map of the parish, and the route that corresponded to those fourteen days and forty-eight places. And I thought "travelling salesperson".Żelazki

Saudi Arabia has rejected a draft agreement with the government of Indonesia on the employment of domestic workers.

Some members of the kingdom’s advisory body, the Shoura Council, said the agreement did not go far enough to protect the rights of the employer, the state news agency said.

Another council member said the provisions in the agreement reflected negatively on the image of working in the kingdom.

There are about 9 million expatriate workers in Saudi Arabia, including thousands of domestic workers such as maids and drivers.

Indonesia and Saudi Arabia have had a tense relationship in regards to the hiring of Indonesian workers.

The former Indonesian government suspended migration of its citizens to the Arab state in August, 2011, on the grounds they were being exploited.

It was lifted in early 2013 aftertime, a fourth time, and a fifth time. Each rescheduling was done to accommodate Dr. Frankel's schedule. This resulted in the arbitration hearing having to be continued.
Pursuant to the last notice, and apparently informally, the deposition was rescheduled for February 13, 1990. Waicis's counsel did not respond to the notice; one week prior to the deposition Schwartz's counsel called counsel for Waicis and was told the date "might" be a problem. At essentially the last minute Waicis's counsel informed opposing counsel that Dr. Frankel was not available and would not appear as scheduled. Waicis's counsel proposed a deposition time which was literally on the eve of the arbitration hearing, well after the discovery cutoff period, and at 6 p.m.
Schwartz then brought a motion to compel, seeking sanctions plus


an order compelling Dr. Frankel's attendance or, in the alternative, the striking of Waicis's disclosure of expert witnesses or the exclusion of Dr. Frankel from testifying at arbitration and trial. On February 22, 1990, the trial court rejected Waicis's explanation that Dr. Frankel had availability problems because he himself was a party to litigation. The court continued the matter to the following Wednesday, February 28, "on condition that *286 counsel [for Waicis] make Dr. Frankel available this Saturday at a time at which the moving party sets...."
After the court hearing, further scheduling difficulty arose. Dr. Frankel stated he had a "personal meeting" that Saturday and wanted the deposition to begin in the afternoon, after his meeting. Schwartz wanted the deposition to begin in the morning; Waicis agreed anddid not indicate any set time at which Dr. Frankel would have to leave the deposition.
Dr. Frankel appeared for the deposition. He did not indicate he would have to leave by any specific time. Well into the deposition he announced he would have to leave for a meeting. At a later point in the deposition, evidently while the court reporter was changing paper, Dr. Frankel walked out of the deposition before its completion, about three and one-half hours after it began, so that he could attend a "personal meeting."
On February 28, Schwartz renewed his motion to compel. The trial court concluded "there was a clear, unequivocal representation made to the Court that Dr. Frankel would be available all Saturday to complete the deposition," and that "to have him


by requiring that the members of the state legislatures, and the officers of the executive and judicial departments of the States, shall take the oath of fidelity to it. The government of the United States, then, though limited in its powers, is supreme; and its laws, when made in pursuance of the constitution, form the supreme law of the land, `anything in the constitution or laws of any State, to the contrary notwithstanding.'
(p. 426) "This great principle is, that the constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof are supreme; that they control the constitution and laws of the respective States, and cannot be controlled by them."
And particularly apposite is the repetition of that principle in Smith v. Alabama, 124 U.S. 465, 473:
"The grant of power to Congressestablished by the congressional act and in others the different standards recognized by the laws of the State.
We are quite unable to assent to the view that the enforcement of the rights which the congressional act creates was originally intended to be restricted to the Federal courts. The act contains nothing which is suggestive of such a restriction, and in this situation the intention of Congress was reflected by the provision in the general jurisdictional act, "That the circuit courts of the United States shall have original cognizance, concurrent with the courts of the several States, of all suits of a civil nature, at common law or in equity, where the matter in dispute exceeds, exclusive of interest and costs, the sum or value of two thousand dollars,


and arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States." August 13, 1888, 25 Stat. 433, c. 866, § 1. Robb v. Connolly, 111 U.S. 624, 637; United States v. Barnes, 222 U.S. 513. This is emphasized by the amendment engrafted upon the original act in 1910, to the effect that "The jurisdiction of the courts of the United States under this Act shall be concurrent with that of the courts of the several States, and no case arising under this Act and brought in any state court of competent jurisdiction shall be removed to any court of the United States." The amendment, as appears by its language, instead of granting jurisdiction to the state courts, presupposes that they already possessed it.
Because of some general observations intherefore that the courts of the State are free to decline jurisdiction, is quite inadmissible, because it presupposes what in legal contemplation does not exist. When Congress, in the exertion of the power confided to it by the Constitution, adopted that act, it spoke for all the people and all the States, and thereby established a policy for all. That policy is as much the policy of Connecticut as if the act had emanated from its own legislature, and should be respected accordingly in the courts of the State. As was said by this court in Claflin v. Houseman, 93 U.S. 130, 136, 137:
"The laws of the United States are laws in the several States, and just as much binding on the citizens and courts thereof as the

After graduation, Michelle worked in the departments of Paediatrics, Cardio-thoracics, Respiratory and Intensive care. Her special interest in haematology lead to a year in the haematology department at the Johannesburg General hospital. Michelle enjoyed a career as a general practitioner for 12 years but her interest in haematology led her to Next Biosciences where she is responsible for the umbilical cord blood and tissue service.
Michelle also volunteers at Strathyre Girls Home (Salvation Army Children’s Home). She runs a free clinic for 45 girls aged 3-18 and the staff members at the home. She is also Chairperson of theirwhole cargo load is

   Meanwhile, two people from the maintenance crew have been trapped by
   the explosion caused when the Narn ship crashed into the docking bay.
   The two trapped people are brought out, but one of them--the foreman's
   younger brother--has unfortunately been killed.

   In his quarters, meanwhile, G'Kar is observing the holy days of
   G'Quan--the particular Narn religious figure that G'Kar follows. As
   he's solemnly chanting, Na'Toth interrupts him, bringing the news
   about the Narn transport. She tells him about the accident and the
   destruction of the transport's entire cargo hold; she mentions that
   the "G'Quan Eth" (spelling


of the Rush Act being invoked.
   Sinclair tells Connally that by going this far, she's already made her
   point -- and Earth Central will be made aware of the laborers'
   grievances. She replies that she can't send her people back to work
   without guarantees from Sinclair, but Sinclair tells her that he can't
   give her any guarantees unless her people return to work. Sinclair
   asks Connally to trust him, but Connally replies that the Senate
   controls the money--and she refuses to trust the Senate. Garibaldi
   points out the possible uproar of violence that might result from a
   clash between the workers and the government--he mentions how angry
   theworkers seemed when he was down near the bay, but Connally assures
   him that the workers won't be the first to use violence--they will
   only defend themselves. When Sinclair tells her that he doesn't feel
   she fully understands the consequences of her actions, she only
   replies that she's quite aware of the consequences--her father was
   killed during a strike on Ganymede in 2237. "I have spent my entire
   life defending workers' rights," she tells Sinclair, "and I'm not
   about to stop now." She says that her people won't return to work
   until they are provided with better pay, higher wages, and more

   sun rises precisely behind the G'Quan Mountain," says G'Kar, who also
   explains that people who aren't on the Narn homeworld must observe
   this ritual at the same time as those who *are* on the homeworld).
   Each year, the people who celebrate must acquire a new G'Quan Eth
   plant for the ritual--and now, the only person on B5 with a G'Quan Eth
   is Ambassador Mollari. Because this ritual is the most important of
   G'Kar's beliefs, because G'Kar is the highest ranking member of his

   Senate (which he claims he'll have within the hour), he will invoke
   the Rush Act.

   [INLINE] Zento and Connally argue.

   On the way to the docking bay, Sinclair urges Connally to try to end
   this matter peacefully by sending her people back to work. She says
   she's sorry that this whole thing had to happen on B5, but she also
   maintains that it's too late for the workers to back down--they're

he fears that a violent confrontation is exactly what some
   people want. Sinclair reluctantly tells Garibaldi to mobilize his
   troops, and asks Ivanova to bring him the full text of the Senate
   order.

   Down in the docking bay, when the workers find out that the Senate has
   invoked the Rush Act, they are angered but are prepared to defend
   themselves. When Garibaldi arrives with a few security officers, a
   fight breaks out.

   [INLINE] The workers riot.

   Amid the fight, Connally is arrested and dragged away by Garibaldi. As
   Garibaldi leaves the docking bay, he meets Sinclair and tells himthat
   the security forces are ready to flood the bay with a somniferous gas
   and arrest the dock workers while they're asleep. Both Sinclair and
   Connally are angered by the fight, and both claim that they wanted to
   avoid this confrontation. Garibaldi, however, points out that the
   fight was started by the foreman whose brother was killed; the
   foreman, according to Garibaldi, threw the first punch. Sinclair tells
   Garibaldi to have his men to pull out of the docking bay. When
   Sinclair enters the docking bay, the workers temporarily calm down and
   let Sinclair speak.

performed in person among street recruited residents and at street-level businesses. The survey is similar to surveys being used in the Sydney SIF trial, and examines perceived changes in the neighborhood after the SIF\'s opening. In addition, staff satisfaction with the operation of the facility is measured through focus groups and qualitative interviews with staff persons. These interviews focus on how service delivery can be improved and on what measures can be taken to ensure staff safety and satisfaction.

Public Order
------------

Standardized measures of public order were undertaken to examine the impact of the SIF on several indicators of public injection drug use. In brief, the survey protocol involves measuring specified public order indicators within an a priori defined geographical area in the neighborhood and at a priori defined timescare at St Paul\'s Hospital are common as well as referrals to community health centres. Early intervention for primary medical care concerns, such as abscesses, is commonly provided by the Insite nursing team, and coverage with public health interventions, such as flu shots, has been provided to Insite users. In addition, addictions counseling occurs on site and there have been many referrals to detoxification programs and methadone maintenance therapy.

Summary
=======

Overall, Insite has attracted the target population and preliminary evidence suggests that the experiences within Insite as well as the community impact have been consistent with the experience of over two dozen European settings where SIF exist, and more recently Sydney, Australia. The examination of early changes in public order has been completed and there is strong evidence of improvement

Maha Shivaratri

Maha Shivaratri a Hindu festival celebrated annually in honour of the god Shiva. There is a Shivaratri in every luni-solar month of the Hindu calendar, on the month's 13th night/14th day, but once a year in late winter (February/March, or Magha) and before the arrival of Summer, marks Maha Shivaratri which means "the Great Night of Shiva".[5][6]

It is a major festival in Hinduism, this festival
is solemn and marks a remembrance of "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in life and the world. It is observed by remembering Shiva and chanting prayers, fasting, doing Yoga, and meditating on ethics and virtues such as self-restraint, honesty, noninjury to others, forgiveness, and the discovery of Shiva.[6] The ardent devotees keep awake all night. Others visit one of the Shiva temples or go


Hindu god Shiva, and is particularly important in the Shaivism tradition of Hinduism. Unlike most Hindu festivals which are celebrated during the day, the Maha Shivaratri is celebrated at night. Furthermore, unlike most Hindu festivals which include expression of cultural revelry, the Maha Shivaratri is a solemn event notable for its introspective focus, fasting, meditation on Shiva, self study, social harmony and an all night vigil at Shiva temples.[6]

The celebration includes maintaining a "jaagaran", an all-night vigil and prayers, because Shaiva Hindus mark this night as "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in one's life and the world through Shiva. Offerings of fruits, leaves, sweets and milk to Shiva are made, some perform all-day fasting with vedic or tantric worship of Shiva, and some perform meditative Yoga.[10] In Shiva temples,"Om Namah Shivaya", the sacred mantra of Shiva, is chanted through the day.

Maha Shivaratri is celebrated over three or ten days based on the Hindu luni-solar calendar.[5] Every lunar month, there is a Shivaratri (12 per year). The main festival is called Maha Shivaratri, or great Shivaratri, and this is on 13th night (waning moon) and 14th day of the month Phalguna (Magha). According to the Gregorian calendar, the day falls in either February or March.[5]

Many legends explain the significance of Maha Shivaratri, one being it is the night of Shiva's dance.

According to a few God realized Yogis, Maha Shivaratri was the day when Shiva drank poisonous negativity to protect the world.
The Maha Shivaratri is mentioned in several Puranas, particularly the Skanda Purana, Linga Purana and Padma Purana.


Tantra, at this stage of consciousness, no objective experience takes place and the mind is transcended. The meditator transcends time, space and causation. It is regarded as the dark night of the soul, when the yogi attains the state of Shoonya or Nirvana, the stage preceding samadhi or illumination.

Mahasivaratri is observed at night, usually in lighted temples or specially prepared prabha (above).

Maha Shivaratri is celebrated in Tamil Nadu with great pomp and fanfare in the Annamalai temple located in Tiruvannamalai district. The special process of worship on this day is 'Girivalam'/Giri Pradakshina, a 14-kilometer bare foot walk around Lord Shiva's temple on top of the hill. A huge lamp of oil and camphor is lit on the hilltop at sunset - not to be confused with Karthigai Deepam.

Themajor Jyotirlinga Shiva temples of India, such as in Varanasi and Somanatha, are particularly frequented on Maha Shivaratri. They serve also as sites for fairs and special events.[18]

The Mandi fair is in the town of Mandi is particularly famous as a venue for Maha Shivaratri celebrations. It transforms the town as devotees pour in. It is believed that all gods and goddesses of the area, said to number more than 200, assemble here on the day of Maha Shivaratri. Mandi, located on the banks of Beas, is popularly known as the "Cathedral of Temples" and one of the oldest towns of Himachal Pradesh, with about 81 temples of different Gods and Goddesses on its periphery.[19][20][21]

Maha Shivaratri is the most important festival in Kashmir Shaivism, found in the north


Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent. It is celebrated as the anniversary of the marriage of Shiva and Parvati.[7][8]

Central India has a large number of Shaiva followers. The Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain is one of the most venerated shrines consecrated to Shiva, where a large congregation of devotees gathers to offer prayers on the day of Maha Shivaratri. Tilwara Ghat in the city of Jabalpur and the Math Temple in the village of Jeonara, Seoni are two other places where the festival is celebrated with much religious fervour.[citation needed]

In Punjab, Shobha Yatras would be organised by various Hindu organisations in different cities. It is a grand festival for Punjabi Hindus.

In Gujarat, Maha Shivaratri mela is held at Junagadh where bathing in the Damodar Kunda is considered holy. According tomyth, Lord Shiva himself comes to bath in the Damodar kunda.

Maha Shivaratri is celebrated widely in the temples all over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Telangana.[citation needed]

In West Bengal, Maha Shivaratri is observed devoutly by unmarried girls seeking a suitable husband, often visiting Tarakeswar.

Maha Shivaratri is a National Holiday in Nepal and celebrated widely in temples all over the country, but especially in the Pashupatinath temple. Thousands of devotees visit the famous Shiva Shakti Peetham nearby as well.Holy rituals are performed all over the nation. Artists from various classical music and dance forms perform through the night. On Maha Shivaratri, married women pray for the well being of their husbands, while unmarried women pray for a husband like Shiva, considered as the ideal husband. Shiva is also


worshipped as the Adi Guru (first teacher) from whom the yogic tradition originates.[22]

Maha Shivaratri is the main Hindu festival among the Shaiva Hindu diaspora from Nepal and India. In Indo-Caribbean communities, thousands of Hindus spend the auspicious night in over four hundred temples across the country, offering special jhalls (an offering of milk and curd, flowers, sugarcane and sweets) to Lord Shiva.[23] In Mauritius, Hindus go on pilgrimage to Ganga Talao, a crater-lake.[24]Swiss Tourist Gang-Raped in India

Especially because he's also under contract by Numloch to attack Homekey. So he can sucker Homekey into being the ones to break contract, and then destroy them.

Support for Ballina theatre needed

Mayo Advertiser, Fri, Apr 24, 2009

A number of national and international artists will be visiting Ballina this weekend to support the campaign for a new theatre for the town. Part funding of €4.3 million was allocated for the new theatre from the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism; Mayo County Council; and Ballina Town Council at the end of last year. However, in order to secure this funding, a further €500,000 must be raised in the local community by July 2009. A fundraising committee was set up earlier in the year to build on the good work already done by previous interest groups and a number of fundraising events have already taken place.

Support for the project will be boosted this coming weekend when nationallyand internationally renowned artists will visit the town for the next two fundraisers — an art sale and a choral concert. Today, April 24, Ballina’s own Moy Singers will be joined by the Garda Choir for an evening of music and song at the Downhill House Hotel and, over the weekend, there will be a sale of art donated by renowned artists such as Dorothy Cross, Ger Sweeney, Dermot Seymour, Veronica Bolay, and Jackie Nickerson at the Ice House Hotel — viewing from April 24 to 26.

While fundraising events like these are invaluable in raising money towards the project, if the long awaited theatre is truly to become a reality, it will need more immediate funding by the July deadline. The committee is therefore appealing to local individuals


while adding a further attraction to the tourist industry which is so vital to the local economy.

The plans for the venue include a modern, state of the art 240-seat theatre and performance space, along with two exhibition spaces, a coffee shop, dance studio and a rehearsal space. Located beside the recently completed pedestrian bridge in Barrett Street and designed to the highest standards, the new theatre building will be an eye-catching addition to the redevelopment of the Barrett Street area of Ballina and will provide a focal point for the area. The plans can be viewed at the Arts Centre in Barrett Street, at Ballina Town Council Offices (on request ), and on the website at www.ballinartscentre.comAss Munch

Since its inception, the annual Love and Sex with Robots (LSR) Congress has drawn controversy.

This year, however, its hosting conference, The 15th International Conference of Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology (ACE) suffered the most from public backlash—which has unfortunately resulted in organizers shutting down the sex robot workshop as well.

ACE, which was originally slated for December at the University of Montana, was canceled last month after protests against keynote speaker Steve Bannon.

However, co-organizer David Levy has since released a statement on the congress website explaining why the event as has been rescheduled. It is now set to happen during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in January 2020.

Here is Levy’s full statement:

We very much regret that, due to ‘force majeure’ circumstances beyond our control, it has


been necessary to potponse the 4th International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots.

The congress had been due to take place at the University of Montana in Missoula, alongside the 2018 Advances in Computing Entertainment Conference (ACE). When it was announced that one of the keynote talks at ACE was to be given by Steve Bannon on the subject of employment opportunities for minorities in the computing entertainment industry, there were so many protests against Mr Bannon participating in the ACE conference that it became necessary to cancel the 2018 ACE conference. Since the arrangements being made for both conferences were inextricably intertwined, we have had no alternative but to postpone the congress on Love and Sex with Robots.

Also a former advisor to President Trump, Bannon had garnered notoriety for his connections to the alt-right movement.

In a statement released on Nov. 16, ACE organizers described protesters as a “fascist style mob,” decrying what they say was an anti-free-speech agenda behind the protests that led to the conference’s cancellation.

Jorge Lorenzo has passed a second medical test at Assen on Saturday, giving him the green light to start the Iveco TT Assen. The reigning champion, who broke his left collarbone on Thursday, will set off from 12th on the grid.

Lorenzo suffered the injury in a crash during the wet Free Practice 2, before being operated on in Barcelona during the early hours of Friday morning. He then returned to The Netherlands on Friday afternoon and is able to start the race from 12th position courtesy of his leading combined practice time which submitted him directly to Q2.

For example, if a solution of β-D-glucopyranose is dissolved in water, its specific optical rotation will be +18.7°. Over time, some of the β-D-glucopyranose will undergo mutarotation to become α-D-glucopyranose, which has an optical rotation of +112.2°. Thus the rotation of the solution will increase from +18.7° to an equilibrium value of +52.7° as some of the β form is converted to the α form. The equilibrium mixture is actually about 64% of β-D-glucopyranose and about 36% of α-D-glucopyranose, though there are also traces of the other forms including furanoses and open chained form. The α anomer is the major conformer, although somewhat controversially; this is due to the anomeric effect with the stabilisation


IAS officer issued notice for chewing gum during Karnataka state song

The Deputy Commissioner of Tumakuru has written to the officer in question and sought her explanation of the incident.

news News

A probationary IAS has been issued a notice for allegedly chewing gum at a public event while the Naada Geethe, the Karnataka state song, was playing.

The incident took place on Thursday at Sira where the Sadhana Samavesha programme was being held. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was also one of the dignitaries present at the event.

The officer in question, Preeti Gehlot, was issued a notice by Deputy Commissioner of Tumakuru district KP Mohan Raj on Friday where the latter sought an explanation from her about the incident.

"The Chief Secretary has ordered me to take the officer's explanation and submit a reporton the incident within seven days," Mohan Raj told The Hindu.

Visuals of the officer chewing gum while the state song was being played was telecast across several news channels.

According to reports, many are of the opinion that she had been disrespectful to the state song and that as an IAS officer she should be more disciplined and careful of her actions. Those offended have also said that Preeti should have more respect for their land.

The video since has gone viral.

While several organisations tried to get her response, Preeti has declined to comment.

Lee Sustar explains the background to the announcement of a July 5 referendum on austerity measures in Greece--and how it will affect the struggles to come.

THE DECISION by Greece's left-wing government to hold a national referendum on the European authorities' latest proposal for austerity measures has sent political shock waves across the continent.

All eyes are on Greece as the relentless assault of the biggest European powers forced the country's banks to close temporarily after the weekend--and raised the specter of a Greek exit from the eurozone, the group of 19 countries that share the common currency.

Citing the "blackmailing of the ultimatum that asks us to accept a severe and degrading austerity without end," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras used a post-midnight speech January 27 to call fora "no" vote on an austerity program proposed in exchange for financing from the "institutions," previously known as the "troika"--the European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The European authorities struck back by refusing to extend deadlines for Greece to repay installments on its international debts--while the ECB limited lines of credit to Greek banks. This forced the SYRIZA-led government to announce the temporary shutdown of the banks and the imposition of capital controls to keep money from leaving the country. Mainstream Greek political parties, along with the country's big businesses, joined the attack on the referendum.

Supporters of SYRIZA believe--based on their experiences in workplaces and communities, as well as


meaning in Greece. The country was torn by armed conflict between left and right in the years following the Second World War, as the U.S. and Britain helped the Greek capitalist class crush the Communists and others on the far left who had spearheaded the struggle against the Nazi occupation during the war.

When the left revived in the mid-1960s, a group of army colonels staged a murderous coup in 1967, in which the left was again repressed--until popular struggles overthrew the military regime seven years later.

Entry into the European Union in 1981 was supposed to end such conflict forever. But in the wake of the 2007-08 financial crisis, after both the center-left PASOK and conservative New Democracy rammed through a series of austerity measures--in the face of morewas one reason for the government's call for a referendum. But Tsipras was also under substantial pressure from SYRIZA's influential left wing.

Unlike social democratic parties that have been regularly elected in Europe and rule within the free-market, neoliberal consensus, SYRIZA is a product of the Greek far left, rooted in labor struggles and social movements and socialist organizations from a variety of traditions.

In recent weeks, SYRIZA's Left Platform--which includes figures like Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis--signaled that government ministers and members of parliament would break with Tsipras if he brought back an agreement that involved cuts in pensions and higher sales taxes. Other sectors of SYRIZA's left, such as the Red Network, have been organizing public meetings calling for a rejection of any agreement with the creditors that involves


more austerity.

That debate has now come to a head. After winning a convincing victory in the January 25 elections, Tsiprsas and his economic team, led by Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, had proceeded on the assumption that the European institutions would bow to the new political reality in Greece and back off demands for even deeper austerity.

In his effort to make a deal, Tsipras signaled a willingness to retreat even before the election, setting aside SYRIZA's radical economic platform from its founding conference and putting forward the much milder Thessaloniki Program, named for a speech last fall given in that city.

Then came a major concession to the "institutions" on February 20--Tsipras essentially agreed to an extension of previous austerity and privatization programs, shelving even the milder planks in SYRIZA'sTWICE's Dahyun recently encouraged her fellow members to vote for their group in trying to win MelOn's 'Weekly Popularity Award'.

"Dahyun's Ka-talk message is so cute," "Aww how cute," "They're so adorable," "They are such a cute bunch," "I think Nayeon is the one who took the screenshot," netizens reacted upon seeing the post.

Please use this special button to donate:Here is the complete Call to Action from the Network Against Repression and for Solidarity, whom the EZLN designated to coordinate Zapatista supporters' donations in Mexico.On December 1, 2012, Enrique Peña Nieto's first day as president, was the day of his administration's first repression against those who protested against his imposition. That repression, that attack which was planned and approved by the outgoing administration of Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, executed by Peña Nieto's administration and supported by the outgoing and incoming [mayoral] administration in Mexico City of Marcelo Ebrard and Migual Angel Mancera respectively, still continues. The attack continues in a hospital

Kuy is still alive thanks to the strength and conviction and camaraderie of those who collectively work with Otra Cultura ["Other Culture"] and other collectives, organizations, groups, and individuals who are adherents to the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle But compañero Kuy continues to resist,we have been guilty of quite an oversight, and it’s time to start putting that right.

The Headland Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition is held every two years and is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013. It might have passed us by so far, but The New York Times (who have a slightly bigger budget than us, to be fair) puts it in their top 50 places to visit, and tens of thousands of folks from New Zealand and beyond have been taking in the outdoor spectacle since it started. This year they are being treated to the work of a dozen artists; the spectacles range from rural graffiti to urban invasion, from the more conventional to the distinctly abstract. It’s certainly put the place firmly on our map.


the lineup. With him and players such as Evan Longoria and Logan Morrison, this lineup can match up with the best of them.

On the defensive end

We know that Ramos can mash, but how well does he do as a backstop? Well, the last season he caught produced a .997 fielding percentage. The catcher makes clean plays when he has the chance. That year, he picked off 19 out of the 32 runners that were attempting to steal; which amounts to about 60% of the time that he throws guys out. He only made three errors that whole year as well. Ramos will make the routine play, and very rarely makes a mistake. Albeit no errors behind the plate, he did have three throwing errors that year. Other thanthat, he was sound defensively. Hopefully, he gets to catch this season and can vault the Rays into a playoff spot. Anything Tampa can get positively out of Ramos is a plus because came back from injury.

The playoffs are in reach

Losing Kevin Kiermaier was a massive blow to this team, but getting Ramos back makes it sting less. Kiermaier was a vital player defensively and isn’t known for his bat. However, the backstop has a positive value with the glove and has a much better swing. He is best of both worlds and could be more as we progress through 2017. The 29-year-old signed a two-year deal so that he will be back for a full season next year. Focusing on the now, Tampa has plenty of meaningful


come across on Broadway in downtown L.A. or in South Phoenix seem to jump off the walls. Take Martínez's portrait of The Man Who Loves Women, a startling block of a man with a lumpy biscuit face adorned with a pencil-line mustache, the Virgin of Guadalupe tattooed on his chest, and a naked woman on one arm under a rolled-up sleeve. He's reminiscent of some of those harsh Grosz characters from Germany's Weimar days but still fresh and new, as if he's just sprung to life fully formed.

I can see impressionism and postimpressionism in the Chicano artists. Is Margaret García's luscious Janine at 39, Mother of Twins anything but a nubile Gauguin princess transported to the Southwest, surrounded not with orchids and banana plants but maguey and nopal?

TheMexican Big Three  muralists Rivera, Siqueiros, and Orozco  are present too, of course, with their palmy Mexican themes and their messages of social protest. Check out Frank Romero's diptych The Arrest of the Paleteros, which shows the LAPD rounding up unlicensed Mexican street vendors in Echo Park, with the suspects, including a few kids, backed up against a fence with their arms up and the park's lake ablaze with red and pink, as if the world might catch fire from the outrage at this police atrocity.

But these artists aren't, for the most part, married to any sort of academic traditions. As much as you can discern traces of the old Europeans, there are even more obvious signs of comic-book culture or movies or television, like Spanish


telenovelas. Violence seems to thrum underneath the scene, like a heartbeat, or else it breaks into view with bursts of fire and blood. There's Adan Hernández's Drive-By Asesino, a frightening figure in a slouch hat, firing a gun from the back of a streaking car, the explosion of his discharging bullet reflected in the lenses of his dark glasses. See also Hernández's astounding La Bomba, showing a man hurtling through the air with fire and other debris, propelled by an explosion.

Vincent Valdez takes a historical view in Kill the Pachuco Bastards!, a depiction of the so-called "zoot suit riots," when World War II sailor-thugs invaded Chicano bars to beat up Mexicans for entertainment.

Some of the affected railroads voiced questions about the proposed study or requested modification in the study procedures outlined by the Commission in its notice of proposed rulemaking. In response to petitions setting forth these carriers' views, the Commission staff held an informal conference in April 1968, at which the objections and proposed modifications were discussed.
[410
U.S. 224, 232]
Twenty railroads, including appellee Seaboard, were represented at this conference, at which the Commission's staff sought to answer questions about reporting methods to accommodate individual circumstances of particular railroads. The conference adjourned on a note that undoubtedly left the impression that hearings would be held at some future date. A detailed report of the


conference was sent to all parties to the proceeding before the Commission.

The results of the information thus collected were analyzed and presented to Congress by the Commission during a hearing before the Subcommittee on Surface Transportation of the Senate Committee on Commerce in May 1969. Members of the Subcommittee expressed dissatisfaction with the Commission's slow pace in exercising the authority that had been conferred upon it by the 1966 Amendments to the Interstate Commerce Act. Judge Simpson in his opinion for the District Court said:

"Members of the Senate Subcommittee on Surface Transportation expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the Commission's apparent inability to take effective steps toward eliminating the national shortage of freight cars. Comments were general that the Commission was conducting too many hearings and taking too little action.Court for the Middle District of Florida, which we here review, was based on the assumption that the language in 1 (14) (a) of the Interstate Commerce Act requiring rulemaking under that section to be done "after hearing" was the equivalent of a statutory requirement that the rule "be made on the record after opportunity for an agency hearing." Such an assumption
[410
U.S. 224, 237]
is inconsistent with our decision in Allegheny-Ludlum, supra.

The District Court for the Eastern District of New York reached the same conclusion by a somewhat different line of reasoning. That court felt that because 1 (14) (a) of the Interstate Commerce Act had required a "hearing," and because that section was originally enacted in 1917, Congress was probably thinking in terms of a "hearing" such as


became the first part of 1 (14) (a) of the Interstate Commerce Act, meant by the term. Such an intent would surely be an ephemeral one if, indeed, Congress in 1917 had in mind anything more specific than the language it actually used, for none of the parties refer to any legislative history that would shed light on the intended meaning of the words "after hearing." What is apparent, though, is that the term was used in granting authority to the Commission to make rules and regulations of a prospective nature.

Appellees refer us to testimony of the Chairman of the Commission to the effect that if the added authority ultimately contained in the 1966 amendment were enacted, the Commission would proceed with "great caution" in imposing incentive perheart of Buondelmonte de’ Buondelmonti, a knight that couldn’t resist the call of his first true love.
He was being forced into a marriage in order to atone for a wound he had inflicted with his sword to a nobleman of the Amidei family.

Rebelling his hostile fate, led by passion and impulse, he married the woman he loved, leaving his promised to her own devices. Such behaviour provoked the rage of the Amideis family, furious for being humiliated on top of being wounded, and therefore they started to plot against the bold young man. The situation further deteriorated, emotions ran high and Buondelmonte was killed just after passing Ponte Vecchio by the knifes of the rioters and in front of his beloved’s eyes.

It was the Easter morning of 1216.


The murderers, in order to escape the law, appealed to the “imperial right”, thus avoiding the laws of Florence and opening the door to the action of the two main powers of the time – the Pope and the Emperor – on local political issues. As the atmosphere was already tense during the recurrent government crisis, on the following day the Florentine nobles divided into Guelphs and Ghibellines, faithful either to the Pope or to the crown of Federico II respectively. The dispute, carried on over private matters, became one of the most important political elements of the European landscape for two centuries.

Locations where sewer tankers have been pumping sewage include Playhatch and Lambourn. The waste water company said that because the ground is still saturated they see no way of protecting homes other than pumping the sewage away for the “foreseeable future”.
One resident from Playhatch spoke to the BBC, he said he had lived with a “lake of raw sewage” which had appeared intermittently around his home since the beginning of December.
A Thames Water spokesperson said:

"In places like Playhatch we are having to get tanker lorries to suck out excess waste water in our sewers to stop those sewers flooding."

He also said that while they were doing their best there was only so much they could achieve, he continued:

"We are essentially trying to pump a river dry, which we
