industry. The company also drives down wages in other sectors worldwide, by ruthlessly demanding the lowest possible price from suppliers.

According to several experts interviewed for a recent PBS “Frontline” special, Wal-Mart is one of the key forces driving the outsourcing of U.S. jobs to Asia — as only countries with the lowest-cost labor can meet the low prices the company demands.

In fact, if Wal-Mart were a country, it would be China's fifth largest export market. Wal-Mart sells 10 percent of all goods imported to the United States from China, where independent trade unions are illegal and it is notoriously difficult to monitor factory conditions. (In March 2004, the company announced that it would, for the first time, hold its board of directors meeting in China, where the companyabout the Wal-Mart problem.

Communities — often working closely with unions — have had far more success fighting Wal-Mart than labor has had in organizing it, preventing at least 13 Wal-Mart Supercenters from opening in 2004. Labor and community groups in Chicago prevented Wal-Mart from opening a store on the city’s South Side. Wal-Mart does plan to open a store on the city’s West side, but may yet be thwarted by an ordinance that would force the retailer to pay Chicago workers a living wage. Citizens in Inglewood, California defeated a Wal-Mart Supercenter in a voter referendum. In Hartford, Connecticut, labor and community advocates just won passage of an ordinance protecting their free speech rights on the grounds of the new Wal-Mart Supercenter, which is being built on city


Our October 2015 issue has been mailed to subscribers and will hit newsstands next Tuesday, September 1. It includes descriptions of four great hawk watches: Hawk Cliff in Ontario, Franklin Mountain in New York, Hitchcock Nature Center in Iowa, and Chelan Ridge in Washington.

The first three will be happy to welcome visitors this fall, but the Chelan Ridge watch site is closed due to the massive Chelan Complex Fire, which started two weeks ago (well after we had sent the October issue to the printer).

The wildfire is one of 29 active fires currently burning in Washington State, according to InciWeb. It has has burned more than 90,000 acres and forced the evacuations of more than 2,000 residents. Statewide, more than 900,000 acres have burned, three firefighters have beenkilled, and an unknown amount of property has been destroyed.

The Chelan Ridge site was scorched in the blaze, says Joseph Dane of HawkWatch International (HWI), and the U.S. Forest Service has closed access to FS Rd. 8020, which leads to the hawk watch.

       Cambridge House is a health care facility. Ms. James worked transporting patients
within the facility. On September 16, 2015, she tripped over a cord and fell, injuring her
right knee. Ms. James reported the accident, and Cambridge House provided authorized
treatment with Occupational Medicine. 1 Later, Dr. Parsley, of Associated Orthopedics in
Kingsport, Tennessee, became her authorized physician.

       When Dr. Parsley first examined Ms. James, he noted she suffered arthritic knee
issues prior to the September 2015James experienced increased pain after her knee buckled while
walking. She treated at the local emergency room and reported the incident to Dr.
Parsley. He recommended a series of three viscosupplementation injections.

       Afterwards, her knee felt better, but her pain returned in April 2016 while pushing
a heavy patient up a ramp at work. Dr. Parsley ordered a round of anti-inflammatories,
but the pain continued. In June 2016, Dr. Parsley recommended a total knee arthroplasty.
Ms. James agreed to the surgery, and Dr. Parsley noted that he would seek authorization.

        Cambridge House did not authorize the procedure, and in his July 2016 office
note, Dr. Parsley stated, "The question of preexisting nature is valid as the arthritis
certainly was preexisting, however this


does represent an exacerbation of a preexisting
condition[,] which should be covered." He also stated, "She was not having symptomatic
problems with the knee up until the time of injury, at least not to the point that caused
inability to work." He continued to treat her conservatively as he awaited authorization.

       As of Ms. James' last visit with Dr. Parsley on August 25, 2016, Cambridge
House had not approved the surgery. Some time later, Dr. Parsley left Associated
Orthopedics for a position in Greeneville, Tennessee, approximately fifty-five miles from
Ms. James' home. Ms. James requested a new panel of physicians; however, on October
10, 2017, Cambridge House filed a Notice of Controversy questioning causation and did
not supply a panel.

       In response to theJim Madden to run for Labor in Ipswich West

LOWOOD-based lawyer and councillor for Somerset Regional Council Jim Madden says he is ready to contest next year's state election.

Cr Madden was chosen last week in a ballot of members to be the Labor candidate for Ipswich West, a seat won by the LNP's Sean Choat in 2012.

Cr Madden said he would continue as a councillor up until the election is called.

"I will then take leave to contest the election, and if successful, I will step down - if not, I will continue as a councillor for the full term," Mr Madden said.

Mr Madden is the fifth generation to live in the Ipswich West region since his family came to Australia from Ireland in 1863. He was educated locally and


still lives locally.

He said he was running for state parliament because he was disappointed in the Newman Government's cuts to the public service and also because of that government's disregard of legal and judicial principles.

"They sacked the all-party crime and misconduct commission, they are not using the committee system properly and they have reduced their hours," he said.

"It shows an arrogant government that reminds me of Joh Bjelke-Petersen."

Mr Madden said he wanted to improve infrastructure and services in the region.

"This is a growing area and we need better services, but we cannot ignore economic development as well," he said.

"What projects there are, like the Blacksoil overpass and the Ipswich Icon building, were done by Labor."

Mr Madden said his work as a lawyer and a councillor has helped himMariners apologize, but Moose will remain on duty in Seattle

"The Mariners are very sorry for the unfortunate accident," the team said in a statement. "We were grateful that no one was hurt. We apologized to Coco and the Red Sox and they were gracious enough to accept. No punishment is planned against the Moose."

In the middle of the fifth inning, Crisp was leaving the Red Sox dugout when the Moose drove by. He clipped Crisp, who was knocked down. Crisp dusted himself off and feigned anger by cocking his arm as if he was going to throw his glove at the Moose.

Lunch is at Pett Level, after which the terrain levels out, before leading up through the New Gate into Winchelsea for tea. After tea and just east of the town, you reach The Look Out, offering panoramic views across the whole of Romney Marsh and the Kent Downs beyond. From there it is down and along to Ferry Bridge, following an easy flat route north east to Rye.

Walk Options

You may reduce the length of the standard walk by 9.5km to 9.5km (6 miles) by following the main route directions as given until [2]. Then follow the Shortened route directions which go past


the Caves and the Castle to finish at Hastings. You may also reduce the length of the walk by 2.5km to 16.5km (10 miles) by finishing at Winchelsea station.

History

Hastings nowadays is most famously connected with the battle of 1066, although it existed long before as a small community, to become a Saxon settlement after the Romans left early in the 5th century, taking its name from the group of Saxon invaders, the Haestengas.

Hastings Castle (tel 01424 781111) was built high on the sandstone rocks above the town, by William the Conqueror in 1067. Although just a ruin today, it is still worth a visit which includes the dungeons and an exhibition area. The castle is open 10am - 5pm, daily from April until August. 11am - 3pm daily,from September to March.

St. Clements Caves, West Hill, Hastings(tel 01424 422964) have over time been put to many uses including a military hospital, an air raid shelter and even a dance hall. Open 11am - 5.30pm, daily from Easter until September. 11am - 4.30pm, daily from October to Easter.

Visiting Winchelsea today it can be difficult to imagine with the sea over 2km away, that 700 years ago it was one of England's leading ports. This new town of Winchelsea replaced the earlier old town, which was sited on a massive shingle spit somewhere out towards Dungeness (probably offshore from the village of Camber). The old town of Winchelsea was devastated by storms in the 13th century, with the great storm of 1287 causing its final destruction. At the


time, the loss of Winchelsea could be compared to losing Portsmouth today, such was its importance. King Edward I ordered a commission to find a new site for the town. Building commenced in the 1280s, from the Strand to the New Gate (where you can see the deepest section of the town ditch around Winchelsea, part of the town's defence), with the streets being laid out on a grid system.

The wealth of new Winchelsea in its heyday was based largely on its huge wine trade. (There are 47 known cellars in the town.) Other trades included wool, timber, iron, shipbuilding and repair. Winchelsea along with Rye emerged to be of far more importance than Hastings (one of the Cinque Ports along with Sandwich, Dover, Hythe, Romney). The stormsof the late 13th century, which had destroyed old Winchelsea, caused silting of the Hastings harbour ruining its future as a port. Thus Winchelsea and Rye joined the Cinque Ports to become the ancient towns whose duty in the days before a navy, was to defend England's most vulnerable coastline and provide transport for the King and his retinue in return for trading privileges. The King effectively gave them a licence for piracy, allowing them to attack anybody in the channel.

However the heyday of new Winchelsea lasted only a few generations. By the middle of the 14th Century the town was in terminal decline. In the 1340s it started to suffer from shingle drifts, and was unable to get ships easily in and it started to lose its


livelihood. Eventually the returning shingle bank sealed the town's fate.

St. Thomas' Church, Winchelsea is semi ruinous. All that's left (the transepts and the eastern end) is about a third of the original 59 metre long building, although it is still a functioning church. It was badly damaged during various raids; particularly a French and Spanish raid towards the end of the 14th century. With the town in decline the damaged sections were quarried rather than being repaired.

The Look Out is named from the days when the look out man was stationed here during the French wars. It is also the site of Winchelsea windmill destroyed in the hurricane of 16th October 1987.

Rye as a port faired much better than Winchelsea and benefited from its decline and final abandonmentas a port in the early 16th century. However over the centuries it had constant battles with nature, being affected by the eastward drift of shingle across the mouth of the harbour, and the enclosing of the salt marshes along the rivers Rother and Brede causing gradual siltation.

Ian Chappell suggests that Dravid is too worried he hasn't covered the out-swing of a delivery enough and hence is tending to play outside the line of a delivery.

Dravid's two dismissals to Ben Hilfenhaus in the two Tests against Australia support this theory. On both occasions, he played outside the line of the delivery and left a gap between his bat and pad.

Hilfenhaus is usually a bowler who would only bowl outswingers. His action rarely permits an incoming delivery.

That Sydney dismissal was due to an off-cutter which Hilfenhaus managed by under-cutting the seam of the delivery. It took Dravid completely by surprise.

Sourav Ganguly is equally bewildered and wonders if Dravid is not going forward enough and with his


bat always in front of his pads, it is leaving a gap big enough for the ball to breach his defence.

A senior player of the side thinks there has always been a particular spot on which Dravid has found it difficult to go full forward throughout his career. It has led to 52 dismissals by way of bowled -- second only to Allan Border's 53 rattling of timber.

Somehow all these dismissals never registered in discerners' mind, so elegant was his presence at the crease, the crispness of his strokes and masterly negotiation of the short stuff.

Dravid has easily spent more time at the crease than anyone in the history of the game. Even though his strike-rate was never better than 42.56, no battle for India was ever overtill Dravid was at the crease.

Now Dravid looks fallible and he knows it and it explains the unusual fretting he indulged in before the second Test at SCG last week.

He asked fielding coach Trevor Penny and main coach Duncan Fletcher to have a closer look at his technique. Every throw-down negotiated was followed by a technical inter-exchange among the three.

Should Dravid open up his stance a little? is his head falling over on the off-side a little? is he playing too early at deliveries? All kind of possibilities were explored. Yet the outcome of the Sydney Test was the same.


a plan before it was carried out," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters in March 2007.

In federal court, however, the administration's lawyers have been more ambiguous.

"The record does reflect at this stage that the president was not involved in decisions about who would be asked to resign from the department," Justice Department lawyer Carl Nichols carefully argued before a federal judge in June. But "the record does not reflect that the President had no future involvement" in the scandal, he noted.

Just how much of a role the president played in the firings and its aftermath remains unclear. But in trying to prevent top White House officials from testifying or turning over documents to Congress, the Bush administration "is very consciously trying to walk a very fine tightrope,"explained Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at American University in Washington, D.C.

On the one hand, experts say, the White House finds it politically necessary to make clear statements insulating Bush from the scandal. But in court, "If they said [Bush] wasn't involved at all they would undermine their case for executive privilege," Vladeck said.

The resulting argument, he said, is "a lawyer who's trying to be very obtuse."

Still, the administration lawyers' fancy footwork hints that the president's involvement could be broader than widely known. "They are not expressly saying it but it is an implicaton because you can't mislead the court," said Charles Tiefer, former House general counsel now a law professor at the University of Baltimore.

The story of how the leading industrial nations passed from the Slump to a war in which they were all belligerents is told chronologically. Unlike painters, who can present a vast composition on a single canvas, writers must proceed in linear fashion. But in so doing writers of large histories, especially, risk losing the narrative thread in the warp of simultaneous incident and the weft of related interpretation. I try to avoid this hazard by taking the action forward country by country, in a series of long strides. Sometimes the same events are seen from different angles. But usually the spotlight focuses on the peculiar circumstances of each country, illuminating the diverse national experiences as they coalesced into a singlehe began his working life. But Al Smith was ambitious and he soon got his feet on the Tammany ladder which had enabled many a likely lad to climb out of the slums. He made himself useful to the corrupt Democratic machine and proved to have outstanding political gifts. Though "unspoiled by formal education," his mind was "first-class." He was shrewd, quick and full of common sense. He possessed a phenomenal memory and was never at a loss for racy repartee. When someone from Ossining, site of a state prison, proposed a literacy test to exclude immigrants from the ballot, Smith replied that not all Americans who could read and write were qualified to cast an honest vote and that Ossining contained "people who could not only sign


the process."14

In fact MacDonald's strength was strangely alloyed with weakness. Perhaps because of his illegitimacy, he was constitutionally insecure and hyper-sensitive to criticism. As proud of his intellect as of his appearance, he could never "allow that there was anything he did not know. He would talk science with scientists, music with musicians, medicine with doctors, Buddhism with Indians."15 (The Indians delighted him by saying that he was a reincarnated Brahmin.) Intolerant of all who questioned his omniscience, MacDonald was alternately aloof and condescending towards his colleagues. Malcolm Muggeridge remembered him as a picturesque figure in a tweed knickerbocker suit and a flamboyant tie "who shook hands by extending two fingers, made conversation by asking fatuous questions, and engaged in little playfulnesses almost like royalty."16 To royalty itselfand the Clyde presented a picture of dereliction—mouldering warehouses, rusting cranes, rotting ships.

Jarrow, light of the world during the Dark Ages, now epitomised "some of the worst darkness known to the human spirit."85 Eighty per cent of the population was unemployed and the town was "utterly stagnant."86 Many of its shops had closed, though not pawnbrokers or undertakers. Funerals were "the remaining bit of pageantry available to the poor"; death was the only spree they had left. J. B. Priestley, who made these observations, added that Jarrow and similar places in Northumberland and Durham "looked much worse to me than some French towns I saw at the end of the war, towns that had been occupied by the enemy for four years."87 In Lancashire bitter industrial strife broke


by the incendiary spectacle. But he at once began to seek ways of exploiting it politically. "God grant that this be the work of the Communists," he intoned. If the Reds got hold of Europe, he continued, warming to his theme, within two months "the whole continent would be aflame like this building." Papen then entered, immaculate in evening clothes amid the charred debris, smoking carpets and pools of water from the firemen's hoses. He had been giving a dinner at the exclusive Herrenklub in honour of Hindenburg, who, though apparently unmoved at seeing the Reichstag "looking as though it were illuminated by searchlights,"7 had to be kept informed. Hitler grasped Papen's hand convulsively: "This is a God-given signal, Herr Vice-Chancellor! If this fire, as I believe, isreward was to be made (for the second time) President of the Reichsbank in 1933 and, the following year, Economics Minister. As it happened Hitler did not really trust this prim technician. Appearances were certainly against Schacht: "A tall, dry, spare, devil of a man, his features might have been hacked out by a billhook, and his long wrinkled neck was like the neck of a bird of prey." 48 But the Führer, who had no blueprint for saving Germany from the slump, hated anyone who tried to talk to him about economics, which should always, he insisted, be kept subservient to politics. Schacht took precisely the opposite line: "I am not a politician and I do not believe in politics," he once said. "Politics is what prevents


of France would not follow me."75 There was also, Blum said subsequently, an associated danger: "In France we too were on the verge of experiencing a military coup d'état." 76

Blum was too cautious to risk more French civil strife. He was too scrupulous to force his convictions on a divided nation. He was too civilised to imitate fascist governments, desiring instead to set the world an example of "conciliatory politics."77 As André Malraux later observed, "Blum valued conciliation to the same extent as General de Gaulle valued inflexibility."78 So the Premier changed tack and, in agreement with other countries, adopted the policy of "non-intervention"—a term which, as Talleyrand had said, roughly corresponded in meaning to "intervention." Blum's "non-intervention"—he denied Madrid more than a clandestine trickle of French munitions—actuallyLike Roy Campbell, the South African poet who supported Franco, Hemingway made a fetish of virility and felt compelled to exaggerate his own. Seriously wounded on the Italian front while working for the Red Cross in 1918, he gave the impression that he had been engaged in combat. So mad about bloodsports that he thought nothing of machine-gunning sharks from his boat or shooting coyotes from a low-flying Piper Cub, Hemingway embellished his own exploits shamelessly. Nothing appealed to him more than the bloody theatre of the bull-ring and during the 1920s he saw literally hundreds of taurine deaths in the afternoon. No Scott Fitzgerald, he drank as though to prove his masculinity. Already Hemingway's tall, well-balanced frame and handsome, wide-mouthed face were ravaged by whisky, absinthe and


protests of the Western powers against this fresh act of Fascist aggression were muted for fear of driving Mussolini more surely into the arms of Hitler. The attitude of leaders such as Chamberlain was indeed hardening: he privately condemned the Balkan "smash and grab raid," which Mussolini had carried out with "complete cynicism."123 But the tone of the democracies remained soft and their very moderation provoked the Duce's extremism—he dismissed Roosevelt's plea for a ten-year truce as the product of spreading paralysis. Hitler, by contrast, congratulated him on a Fascist triumph and on the consequent strengthening of the Axis. He drew the Duce inexorably into his thrall, daring him to be bold. Observing the process, Bernardo Attolico, the Italian Ambassador in Berlin, described Mussolini's attitude towards the Reichto a standstill during the previous major border conflict, at Changkufeng. But this in itself spurred on the fire-eaters of the Kwantung Army to ignore the restraining hand of Tokyo and teach Moscow a lesson. They were, in any case, convinced that the Red Army had been incapacitated by the purges and would be no match for troops inspired by devotion to the Emperor. As the "Nomonhan Incident" developed from a frontier skirmish into a small war, the Japanese infantry did, indeed, fight with fanatical courage. They stopped Soviet tanks with Molotov cocktails. They made bayonet charges over open ground against murderous firepower. Under cover of darkness they became homicidal shadows, faithful to their training motto, "The night is worth a million reinforcements." They took part in so-called

14The 2017 New York State GeoCon in Lake Placid provided the opportunity to for me to catch up with several statewide colleagues which will be reflected in at least a couple upcoming blog posts. As part of these discussions, I ended up connecting with a familiar Empire State GIS person of interest: Carol Cady – who serves as GIS Specialist/Map Librarian at St.Lawrence University (SLU) in Canton, New York. Our discussion and follow-up communications certainly highlight a wide range of geospatial activities in the state’s North Country which the SLU GIS program is a significant contributor.

Carol directs the GIS project which is housed in the Libraries and Information Technology Division. Unlike many of the New York State public university geospatial programs, the SLU program is not associated with


a specific academic curriculum or major. She and other GIS program staff provide instructional, technical and research geospatial support to the entire university community in the use of geospatial software and technology including Remote Sensing and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Carol arrived at SLU in 2002 to oversee and manage the GIS program. Before her arrival, the SLU GIS program had been established in the early 90’s by Professor Bill Elberty who was a Geography Professor and for whom the current GIS lab is named after. Professor Elberty taught GIS courses which provided the foundation for many current GIS professionals across New York State. After Professor Elberty retired in 1999 the GIS program data and software was moved to the Science Library.

Prior to accepting the SLU position, Carol servedDepartment to identify houses built before the early 1970s and may contain lead paint. This was part of a larger project to help with lead paint remediation for household owners.

One SLU project which was of particular interest to me is the June 2017 Death in St. Lawrence County (DSLC) Project that began an archeological excavation at the St. Lawrence County Poorhouse Cemetery in Canton, NY. As a result of decades of erosion, the cemetery had a number of graves at risk of washing away into the Grasse River. While the original goal of the project was to identify and exhume at-risk graves, identify the individuals using forensic techniques, and re-inter the remains elsewhere on the property. Unfortunately, Mindy C. Pitre, an assistant anthropology professor at St. Lawrence University,


student projects focusing on American Kestral nesting sites, Brook Trout spawning sites, wind turbine placement relative to hawk migrations, and the effects of St. Lawrence County land use changes on grassland bird habitat can be found on the SLU GIS landing page.

Working Partners:

Collaborating organizations in the North Country recognize SLU’s GIS contribution in regional geospatial efforts. Notes Jason Pfotenhauer, Deputy Director. St. Lawrence County Planning Office:

“The St. Lawrence County Planning Office has had a long relationship with the GIS lab at St. Lawrence University having worked with Carol Cady for many years, as well as several of her mapping technicians. We traveled to numerous State GIS conferences and NYS geo-spatial summits together and have had approximately 10 SLU students work with our office in various capacities.

Mr Pence drew criticism earlier this week when it emerged he was staying at the Trump International Golf Club in Doonbeg, despite the majority of his duties taking place nearly 180 miles away in Dublin.

Marc Short, the vice-president’s chief-of-staff, later said the idea was the US president’s.

"I don't think it was a request, like a command ... I think that it was a suggestion," Mr Short told reporters on Tuesday. "It's like when we went through the trip, it's like, well, he's going to Doonbeg because that's where the Pence family is from," Mr Short said before paraphrasing


Mr Trump. "It's like, 'Well, you should stay at my place'."

But on Wednesday, Mr Trump said he had had “no involvement” in Mr Pence’s travel arrangements.

stated that the concpt was originated by Amoss. Beam, however, dates the Amoss essay as being published in 1962, when its first appearance was in 1953.

Beam cannot recall when or where he first saw the Amoss essay, and complains that his files were seized by the FBI so it is impossible for him to check his records. [interview]

Beam published the newsletters the Inter-Klan Newsletter & Survival Alert and the Seditionist.

It was in the the Inter-Klan Newsletter & Survival Alert that Beam proposed an international computer network linking White supremacists in 1984. Although Beam is often credited with launching the first online race hate communications system, it was Dietz whose system went online first, in early 1984, and perhaps as early as late 1983. Read it Here!.

Beam played arole in the development of the armed citizens militia movement in the early 1990s, but did not develop the concept of Leaderless Resistance for the Militias, a movement that overlapped with the organized White Supremacist movement, but according to most scholars, was distinct and independent from it.


blades into the bone at its distal end. With the device inserted lengthwise into the bone, the bone-engaging mechanism was supposed to prevent rotation, angulation, and antero-posterior translation. However, a longitudinal track defined along the entire length of the covering sheath has been found to cause loss of torsional rigidity. In addition, problems have been encountered with deployment of the engagement fins.
One method which seeks to overcome these problems is the Russell-Taylor interlocking nail system, in which screws are placed at both ends of an open channeled, cloverleaf-shaped Kirchner rod. It has been found that when this type of rod is put in a circular medullary canal, compression results on three points of the rod, causing the bone to resorb and allowing the rod to rotate.
According to theRussell-Taylor interlocking nail system, an oblique skin incision is made 2 cm distal to the proximal tip of the greater trochanter and continued proximally and medially for 8-10 centimeters. The fascia of the gluteous maximus is incised in line with the skin incision.
A curved awl, designed to enlarge the entry portal, is introduced at the trochantric fossa in line with the femoral shaft. The blunt tip of a tapered T-handle reamer is used to enlarge the metaphyseal canal.
A ball-tip guide rod is introduced into the bone to the level of the fracture. Containment of the guide rod within the femur is confirmed by antero-posterior and lateral image intensification. After reaming of the proxima femur, an alignment device is inserted.
A guide pin is extended into the distal fragment until


life, and if you start to talk to them, and worst of all call them by name, you are destined for heartbreak. It's as inevitable as snow in winter. But Mesanna couldn't help herself.

She knew the minute she saw him, cold shivering and wet on the stable floor, that there was something special about this goat. Something in his eyes, in the way he fought to stand up, long after the others in the barn had been licked dry and were busy getting their first taste of warm milk. She understood him, and almost before she knew it, she had given him a name and the long conversation had begun.

Mesanna wasn't soft. She had lived and worked at the tavern for eight years, ever since her father hadlost her in a game of backgammon to Bernholdt when she was very young. She had wrung the necks of more chickens, and used that mace on the heads of more sheep, goats and even cows, than she could count in that time. But none of them had been Peggle.

She delayed as long as she could, cleaned ferociously, pulled weeds in the gardens until there wasn't one to be found in any of the garden plots, organized and sorted, washed windows, aired linen and even made the long journey to Britain to buy flour and restock the wine cellar. But she couldn't procrastinate any longer, the dance was a week away, and Peggle would need to hang in the meat locker for a full week after he was


dressed before he would be ready to be butchered and divided between the stews and skewers.

Mesanna had always been a hard worker and she never complained. She made up for her height and her slim build with energy and steely determination, just like Peggle had. And all the hard work had made her strong. She knew that she was stronger now than most of the boys her age that had stayed at the inn - not that there had been many of those. She did what she was told, and most of the time, she did it cheerfully.

Mesanna was also honest, but she had one great secret, a secret she had never shared with anyone other than her teacher. She could read. Markus the Cook had taught hera week after that incident.

But he didn't think that girls should be taught to read. Didn't think they'd ever have a use for it. All women are good for is cooking, cleaning, and making babies, what use do they have for book learning?

But Mesanna learned to read. It was her one act of rebellion, and it was Peggle that she practiced her reading on. When her chores were done, and she had some time to herself, she would go hide in the barn and read the books that Markus gave her to read aloud to Peggle. And after she read to him she would talk to Peggle about what she had read, and before she knew it Peggle had become her best friend, the one she shared all


her hopes and dreams with. And it had all been a terrible mistake.

She wanted to convince Bernholdt to substitute one of the other goats for Peggle, but she knew that if she tried that he would ask questions, and her big secret would be in danger. And besides, she had already protected Peggle as long as she could; all the other goats that were the right age were already gone. Peggle was the last one.

She couldn't avoid it any longer. She knew it needed to be done. She felt sick to her stomach, but she gritted her teeth and headed toward the shed where the mace hung in a rack on the wall. But on the way a thought began to form in her mind. She knew fromher reading that slavery had been abolished in the lands of Britannia a long time ago, but wasn't that what she was?

She had never been paid for all her years of hard work. She had been lost in a game of backgammon. Only a slave could be lost in a bet. What was she going to do, spend the rest of her life working at the Twin Oaks and receiving nothing but a bed and enough food to keep her alive in return? Maybe, even worse, Bernholdt would give her to be married to some ugly old man to pay off a debt, or cover his own losses in a game of backgammon.

She grabbed the mace and pulled it off the rack with more force than was necessary,


gripped it tightly, and headed for the barn. It was early morning, so Peggle would be there with the other animals, waiting to be let out for the day. She could hear the cow complaining about a full udder that needed to be emptied of it's milk. She would do that first.

She turned to get the milk pail from the kitchen, but changed her mind and headed toward the barn again, her knuckles white around the handle of the mace. She already had the knife she would need; she always carried that with her. The rope she would need was hanging on the wall next to the barn door.

She opened the barn door, took the rope off the wall, but this time calmly. She was no longer grippingthe mace as if her life depended on it. She made a loop on the end of the rope big enough to fit over Peggle's head and made her way to Peggle's stall.

We're going to do something different Peggle, you and I. And Peggle walked over to her, gave her a friendly nuzzle then looked at her the way he always did, as if he was the wisest goat in all of Britannia. Nothing will ever be the same for us, she said. And she choked a little and a tear ran down one cheek.

She put the rope over Peggle's head, and led him out of the stall. Hidden under a pile of hay was the last book Markus had given her to read. She dug the precious


book out from under the hay and left it wrapped up inside the sack she had used to protect it. Then she opened the barn door and led Peggle outside.

But she didn't head toward that pole where she had slaughtered all those other goats. She headed in the opposite direction, toward the road that led away from the Twin Oaks Tavern. Something inside her had broken, and she felt lighter than she had ever felt. The world was beautiful, the birds were singing their early morning songs, and Mesanna was no longer a hard working slave girl, she was a free woman.

Tadashi Sawamura vs Samarn Sor Adisorn

By one account I’ve read, there has been historical Thai bitterness around Japanese Kickboxing, due to the feeling that the Japanese had in someway “stolen” the Thai sport and art, in a kind of appropriation (something some feel is going on today through MMA and westernization),

Experiences in the late 1960s, when Japanese martial arts promoters appropriated many of the techniques and trappings of muay as kick-boxing, and later as K-1, but discarded the cultural connections to Thailand, further stoked these fears. Thais were incensed by this injury to national pride, and there is a strong resistance to letting it happened again with the rise of MMA.

Muay Thai: Inventing Tradition for a National Symbol, Peter Vail

On the other hand, I’ve


also read that in the beginning Tadashi suffered ostracization from the Japanese for abandoning more traditional Japanese arts, though he quickly grew to become a Japanese hero, an anime was even created in 1970 celebrating his achievements. This fight, and its aftermath is arguably the origin of present day, 2nd wave Muay Thai internationalism, ironically enough, triggered in part by Buakaw’s success in K-1 (Japanese) tournaments, along with the rocketing popularity of MMA.

In any case, above is the video of the historic fight which set the internationalization of Muay Thai rolling. The Tashashi fight was indeed big, but it had been preceded four months earlier in a show where 3 Japanese Karate fighters faced off against 3 Muay Thai fighters, but oddly only one Muay Thai fighter seemedwork, finding a job!

Azhar Ali: Somerset sign Pakistan opener as Matt Renshaw replacement

BBC UK – Somerset have signed Pakistan opener Azhar Ali for the last seven matches of the County Championship season to replace the injured Matt Renshaw.

Summary

Somerset have signed Pakistan opener Azhar Ali for the last seven matches of the County Championship season to replace the injured Matt Renshaw.

“His experience at the top of the order will prove to be hugely valuable at the business end of the season,” Somerset director of cricket, Andy Hurry said.

“I have spoken to him several times over the last few weeks and he is very keen to share his knowledge of the game with our aspirational players, so the influence he can have within the changing room will also be vital for us asa club.”

Renshaw scored 513 Championship runs in six games at the start of the campaign, including three centuries, but broke his finger last month.

The Australia batsman was signed by the county after compatriot Cameron Bancroft was banned for nine months for his part in the ball-tampering scandal during Australia’s tour to South Africa.

Administration of diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) can enhance the urinary excretion rate of plutonium (Pu) for several days, but most of this Pu decorporation occurs on the first day after treatment. The development of a biokinetic model describing the mechanisms of decorporation of actinides by administration of DTPA was initiated as a task of the coordinated network for radiation dosimetry project. The modelling process was started by using the systemic biokinetic model for Pu from Leggett et al. and the biokinetic model for DTPA compounds of International Commission on Radiation Protection Publication 53. The chelation of Pu and DTPA to Pu-DTPA was treated explicitly and is assumed to follow a second-order process. It was assumed that the chelation takes


Ark. Legislature Overrides Governor's Veto of 20th-Week Abortion Ban

The Arkansas legislature overrode a veto by Governor Mike Beebe to enact a pro-life law that bans abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.

On February 27 the Arkansas state legislature overrode a veto by Governor Mike Beebe of HB 1037, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which will prohibit most abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy. Following the veto, which Beebe said came because the law contradicts the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision, the legislature quickly enacted the override, with the House voting by a wide 53 to 28 margin, followed by a much closer 19 to 14 Senate vote. With passage of the bill, Arkansas became the the eighth state to ban abortion after 20th week ofwarning.

2 Die, 2 Injured in Washington County Crash

CONCORD, Mo. (AP) - Two people are dead and two are seriously injured after a crash in eastern Missouri's Washington County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened early Sunday. A mini-van collided with two pickup trucks that were parked in the northbound and southbound lanes of Highway U because of debris in the road. Neither truck was occupied.

The patrol says the crash killed 16-year-old Brandon L. Stark and 40-year-old Steve L. Stark, both of Irondale. The 32-year-old driver was taken by ambulance to Parkland Hospital and a 34-year-old passenger was flown to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.that cause generalized weakness, soreness, pain, and fatigue.

The plant is also used as a wash for itching and skin rashes. Another use of the herb is bringing color back to graying hair. The Chinese nickname for the herb, ho shou wu, literally means "Mr. He's Black Hair," Mr. He being a man of Chinese legend who restored his youth and sexual potency by taking Fo-Ti tea.

The Maryland basketball program has shown "strong interest" in Delaware point guard transfer Kory Holden, according to a report from ESPN's Jeff Borzello.

Delaware transfer Kory Holden has attracted strong interest from Miami, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Nevada, Louisiana Tech and others. — Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 23, 2016

Holden is a Salisbury, Md., native and has two years of eligibility remaining. He scored 17.7 points per game out of the Blue Hens' backcourt this season and shot 39 percent on three-pointers. He's listed at 6'2 and 180 pounds, and he plays the one position. If Melo Trimble were to leave for the NBA, Holden would be an intriguing reinforcement – although he'd need a waiver to play immediately, and there's no reason to expect he'd get one.

Holden wants to transferto play at a higher level. The teams Borzello mentions that most meet that criteria are definitely Maryland, Miami and Virginia Tech, and the Terps and Hokies are both at least in the same region as Delaware. The Blue Hens are terrible, as they went 7-23 this season and finished last in the CAA.

There's recent precedent for CAA guards transferring to major conferences and thriving. Drexel's Damion Lee transferred to Louisville for this season and scored 16 points per game for the Cardinals. It would be surprising if Holden couldn't make the adjustment and be an effective piece for a Big Ten or ACC team. He has a diverse set of skills to help him to do it, too. He shot 80 percent at the foul line this

Now Toronto published a condensed version of this piece earlier this week.

A U.S. federal district court in Washington DC has indicted two leaders of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), one Canadian and another American. They are accused of committing hate crimes against a Palestinian-American professor and an American Jewish progressive activist during last year’s Aipac conference. Yosef Steynowitz, 32, of Thornhill, Ontario and Rami Lubranicki, 59, of New Jersey are charged with assaulting Kamal Nayfeh, a technical instructor at a North Carolina college; and graduate student, Ben Doernberg, with wooden poles and repeated kicks. They also assaulted Galen Vandergriff in a similar fashion, smashing the video camera he used to record the incident.

The indictment, reads in part:

Yosef Steynovitz, while armed with and having readily available dangerous andColumbia, Matthew Massey, has agreed to postpone the arraignment to permit Steynowitz more time to make travel arrangements. He will face arraignment on February 13th. Presumably, he will be spending considerable time away from home in DC over the next year or so!

Toronto continues to be a hotbed of anti-Muslim incitement. Last month, the JDL hosted notorious Islamophobe, Pamela Geller, whose Muhammed drawing contest incited two American Muslims to attack the exhibition hall, where they were killed by police. She spoke at the Canada Christian College. It is well-known as an evangelical hotbed of homophobia and Islamophobia. During her harangue, Geller made a number of provocative statements. Among the most bizarre was this quoted in the Torontoist:

Trudeau may be suffering from PTSD because his mother was “out there,


on the front pages, with her lady bits out…”

Geller may be the first person who’s ever claimed that nudity induces mental illness.

Tory-darling, Ezra Levant, joined her on stage that night. Video of their exchange is featured on Kevin Johnston’s website. The latter himself has been accused of a hate crime and arrested by Canadian police.

Though local activists and a media outlet asked the government to ban Geller from entering the country due to her propensity for inciting violence (Britain excluded her in 2013), Canadian authorities ignored the complaints.

Weinstein was invited by the City Council to address the issue of preventing hate speech. The body was asked to suppress annual Al Quds Day rallies sponsored by Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, which had in the past allegedly had included chantsHoboken Animal Hospital

Galway County Council is set to submit proposals to An Bord Pleanála for the bypass, after the approval of the €600m Galway City Ring Road was announced yesterday.

It’s hoped the scheme will reduce traffic congestion and improve journey times in and around Galway city, where motorists have experienced long delays for years.

The plan incorporates a new bridge and viaduct over the River Corrib, and two tunnels on the east side of the city.

The proposed route will provide an 18km link between the east and west of the city, closer to the urban area than the original bypass plan.

It has been designed to avoid special conservation areas and environmental concerns that dogged the


Hundreds held after Egypt rallies

Ayman Mohyeldin reports on poll monitors threatening to boycott observations if there is a lack of transparency.

Hundreds of members and supporters of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood movement have been arrested after clashes with police during campaign marches ahead of parliamentary elections.

Al Jazeera's team in Alexandria, citing Muslim Brotherhood officials, said at least 250 people were arrested and dozens more wounded during gatherings in the coastal city on Friday.

Streets were cordoned off and police reportedly used tear gas, knives and tasers on Muslim Brotherhood supporters who were seen throwing chairs and stones.

Muslim Brotherhood supporters throw bricks and other debris at police

A Muslim Brotherhood member, running as an independentcandidate in the district of Mena el-Bussal in the upcoming polls, led the march in Alexandria. Supporters were heard chanting: "No, no to election fraud. Yes, yes for change" and "God is great, Islam is the solution".

Hamdy Hassan, a spokesman for the group's parliamentary bloc, said that "certainly over 100 Brotherhood supporters were detained on Friday, and from different cities".

"What happened today are not just assaults, it was more like war. Police fired at the crowds... Some people were injured," Hassan added.

Arrests were also reported in Sharkiya, Beni Suef and Gharbiya governorates near the capital, Cairo.

Police crackdown

Police have rounded up hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members in recent weeks, with many still in custody, after the group announced plans to field candidates for the November 28 polls.

The group, which


registered its candidates as independents to skirt a ban on religious parties, won one-fifth of the parliamentary seats in the last election in 2005.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has hit out at the United States for wanting to send foreign observers to monitor the elections.

Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Cairo, said the Egyptian foreign ministry strongly rebuked the US and other international calls to allow for observers and monitors in the upcoming elections at the end of the month.

"The ministry said any such call violates Egypt's sovereignty and meddles with its internal affairs.

"The Egyptian government is also under intense criticism both at home and abroad to allow for free and fair elections, with critics saying the political system is structured toand dismemberment of cats, dogs and a crying baby.

Relevant to yesterday's post on the Smithsonian Channel documentary that misrepresented the history of Greenwood, Tulsa's historic African-American neighborhood that its residents rebuilt after it was sacked and burned in the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot. The rebuilt neighborhood thrived and prospered for decades, becoming known as Black Wall Street, before urban renewal and expressway construction destroyed it again in the late 1960s. Here is a news story from the time that illustrates the social and financial impact of the decision to route the expressway through the heart of the Deep Greenwood commercial district.

From the Tulsa Library's online "vertical files," this article from the May 4, 1967, Tulsa Tribune, shows a photo of the demolition of the Dreamland Theater to make way for I-244. The story reports on thenumber of long-time small businesses that are closing down because they can't get financing to reopen somewhere new. Although the library's PDF has OCR text, it is full of mis-scanned words, so I decided to transcribe it here, and correlate it with other contemporaneous sources of information.

An Old Tulsa Street Is Slowly Dying

Greenwood Fades Away Before Advance of Expressway By JOE LOONEY

An old man walked doen the sunny side of Greenwood Avenue and paused to stare at a pile of rubble.

Across the street, Ed Goodwin looked out the window of the offices of the Oklahoma Eagle and shook his head. "That's L. H. Williams," the Negro publisher said. "He comes down here every day. Since he had to sell out, he's just put the money in the savings


office in another neighborhood.

His father operated a grocery store in a building across the street--one of those torn down to make room for the expressway.

"He built it in 1915," Goodwin recalled. "and it was destroyed in the 1921 riot. But he rebuilt and there was a grocery store there until 1930. I ran a furniture store there for a while, then put the Eagle office in there in 1936."

There, the Oklahoma Eagle remained until last year.

Goodwin owned an old theater building. It was not in the path of the highway.

"I wanted to put the paper out closer to my house, but they wanted so much money for the property, I decided it would be better to put the money into the building."

In the midst of old buildings, mostof them dark, red brick structures dating to the early 1920s, he built a shining modern buff-brick structure. Behind the new building housing the Eagle, in what had been the orchestra pit of the old theater, he put a sunken garden.

OTHER PIECES of history have scattered away. There was the Dreamland Theater. J. W. Williams built it in 1916, then rebuilt it after it burned in the 1921 riot. A Negro Elks lodge moved in years ago, and this was a leading social center for the Negro community.

A rather substantial expressway pillar is slated to plunk down just about where the lobby of the theater was. The Elks managed to find a house 15 blocks up the street and there they moved a few weeks ago.

Otis Isaacs had


a shoe shop next door. He rented his space from Alex Spann, who owned many of the buildings on the street. lsaacs had to shift for himself. He found a place 10 blocks away.

Attorney Amos Hall had an office downstairs. and upstairs had provided space for the Negro Masonic Lodge, of which he is Grand Master. Hall and his lodge both moved Into a building five blocks away.

BUT THE WILLLIAMS Drug is not being relocated. Nor has barber Joe Bulloch found a new place to go into business. Dr. A. G. Bacholtz has given up the private practice he carried on for so long on Greenwood Avenue, and is working with the City-County Health Department.

And Alex Spann. the building owner. He had a pool hall. With the moneyhe got for his buildings, he bought another old pool hall a mile up Greenwood.

Hotel owner A. G. Small couldn't build another hotel anywhere. So he decided to retire. Mrs. Joseph W. Miller, whose late husband built a hotel which she operated, also could not rebuild. She, too, has retired.

A couple who operated a cafe gave up their own business and went to work for restaurants in downtown Tulsa. A man who owned a garage was just about able to get his mortgage paid off from the funds from the sale of the building to the highway department. He is not back in business anywhere else.

PAT WHITE was able to move his barbecue stand into a new home on Pine Street. The Christ Temple CME Church moved to


Apache and Lewis.

"There is no Negro business district anymore," Goodwin said. Tulsa attached the name of Greenwood to the entire district occupied by Negroes--a name that ironically came from the city of Greenwood, Miss., a pIace hardly considered a Mecca for Negroes.

"They might as well take down all these parking meters," the publisher said. "There's nothing to park here for anymore."

In its heyday, it was a busy street. But the buildings grew old. The Negro population moved into newer neighborhoods. Slowly, integration opened a few doors downtown, on the other side of Archer Street. Places to eat. Go to a movie. To work at good jobs.

RAUCOUS CLUBS and rooming houses sprang up around Greenwood and Archer. Long before the expressway came and brushed the old street away, itfeet above the ground as it crosses Greenwood.

It will carry the designation Interstate 244, and will be part of the Crosstown Expressway which forms the north side of a planned inner dispersal loop around the downtown area.

East of Greenwood, the project is taking nearly all the land between Cameron and Archer Streets as far east as the Texas & Pacific Railway (formerly the Midland valley) tracks.

The expressway will cross Archer Street and both the T&P and Santa Fe railroads east of Hartford Avenue.

West of Greenwood. the right-of-way runs northwesteriy, crossing Cameron before it gets to Frankfort Place.


the direction of emission of the luminous flux, a lamp placed in front of the first concave mirror; and a second concave parabolic or spherical mirror, the reflective surface of which is oriented toward the first concave mirror. An aperture window is formed in the second concave mirror which has a rectangular configuration of the same size as the rectangular configuration of the liquid crystal display panel, and which emits a rectangular luminous flux. The beam of the lamp is reflected by the first concave mirror, and one or more times by the second concave mirror, resulting in a parallel beam oriented in the direction of the optical axis. The parallel beam is formed into a luminous flux of rectangular cross section by the rectangular window aperture inthe aperture outside the inscribed circular area. The reflector design of this embodiment is particularly suited to motion picture theater projection applications in which the aperture to be illuminated is relatively far away from the light source. The use of such identical reflector segments greatly simplifies fabrication of the tooling for manufacturing the reflector surface. In a second embodiment the reflector segments are not identical, and the reflector is particularly useful in projection systems in which the light source is relatively close to the aperture, such as in liquid crystal display systems.
The possibility of using a liquid crystal display in a video display system, including projection television, is well accepted, and several such systems have been proposed. In an article on pages 375-377 of the 1986 issue of

the Continental Divide Trail crosses a river. On the map you link to it can be seen about 8 km SE of the Grants label. The trail follows Route 66 at this point, and that is the road in this image (courtesy Google Maps):

The river, such as it appears in the image, is the Rio San Jose, which feeds into Rio Puerco, which feeds into Rio Grande, which discharges into the Gulf of Mexico and hence categorised as East of the Continental Divide.
Upstream of the Rio San Jose are various tributaries, including Middleton Ditch, fed by Bluewater Creek from Bluewater Lake and Cottonwood Creek. Cottonwood Creek is about 20 miles west of a North/South line through the location shown above.

The narrowest part of the 'gap' is about half way between Gallup and Grants, ie about 2 miles south of the township of Continental Divide. However, from there the Continental Divide does continue in a generally northern direction. Since the area is not densely populated, Continental Divide township is the nearest feature of any note (and "about half way" was only ever approximate anyway).

The U.S. Air Force has notified Congress that it intends to shut down HAARP, a controversial Alaska-based research facility that studies an energetic and active region of the upper atmosphere.

Conspiracy theorists are abuzz about the news, given that HAARP (short for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) has long been the center of wild speculation that the program is designed to control the weather — or worse. In 2010, Venezuelan leader Huge Chavez claimed that HAARP or a program like it triggered the Haiti earthquake.

For the record, the Haitian quake of 2010 was caused by the slippage of a previously unmapped fault along the border of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates.

HAARP is a research program designed to analyze the ionosphere, a portion of the upper atmosphereused to measure the perturbations.

The goal of the program is to understand the physics of the ionosphere, which is constantly responding to influences from the sun. Solar flares can send solar particles racing toward Earth, occasionally disrupting communications and the electrical grid. If scientists could better understand what happens in the ionosphere, they might be able to mitigate some of these problems.

But the Air Force is no longer interested in maintaining HAARP, according to David Walker, the Air Force deputy assistant secretary for science, technology and engineering.

At a Senate hearing on May 14, Walker said the Air Force has no interest in maintaining the site, and is moving in another direction in ionospheric research.

Politics and conspiracy

The Air Force's plan to destroy HAARP has detractors.

"While the Air Force neither


wants nor appreciates the unique value of HAARP, users from several federal agencies, laboratories and universities, and friendly nations such as Canada, Britain, Taiwan, South Korea, Sweden and Norway, are eager to use its unique resources, which would further spread American influence and leadership," Dennis Papadopoulos, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Maryland, wrote in an outraged opinion piece in the Alaska Dispatch.

HAARP cost more than $290 million to build, much of it earmarked by late Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who had great influence over the U.S. defense budget during his time in Congress. The site was host to numerous projects over the years, including the creation of the first man-made aurora in 2005. The site's generators now require remediation to meet the environmentalTactical Analysis of Ajax wonderkid Frenkie de Jong

Ajax are back in the UEFA Champions League after failing to qualify on the past three occasions. Therefore, the UCL comeback is one of the biggest accomplishments, in recent years, for the decorated Dutch club.

Being a part of Europe's most prestigious club competition inevitably brings a lot of attention towards the team's talented youngsters. Because of it, the likes of Frenkie de Jong, Matthijs de Ligt, and David Neres are all now under the radar of European giants.

Although quite a bunch of players at Ajax are turning heads, it is Frenkie de Jong who has garnered the biggest chunk of attention from a host of clubs across the continent including FC Barcelona.

Ajax have mostly lined up in a 4-3-3 or a


4-2-3-1 formation this season. And with Daley Blind returning to the club from Manchester United, de Jong has transformed from being an aggressive ball-commanding centre-back to more of a deep-lying midfielder.

The young midfielder has effortlessly adapted to his new role this season and has been wonderful in controlling the flow of the game for his team.

The Dutch team prefer to play most of their game through the middle-third from the left side. A growing habit observed in their gameplan is the advanced role of their left-back, usually Nicolás Tagliafico, who is positioned higher up the pitch in order to provide width in attack. This move helps de Jong manoeuvre into the space vacated on the left side, which creates somewhat of a back-three during play.

While in possession, deJong can either pass it horizontally to his closest centre-back--either Blind or de Ligt--or move the ball forwards to one of his teammates in the opposition's half.

De Jong is a dual threat when in possession of the ball because, in addition to being an accomplished passer in tight areas, he is also adept at carrying the ball forward from deep and attracting opposition markers before laying off a pass to a teammate who is in open space.

The Dutch wonderkid's dribbling stats last season, in Eredivisie, were extraordinary as he mainly played as a centre-back. He completed 93% of his dribbles in the 2017-18 season with an average of 3.1 successful dribbles per 90 mins. His dribbling record has been pretty


impressive yet again in this campaign, now that he has returned to his natural midfield role.

When the ball gets in the middle or the final third of his team's half, de Jong acts as a persistent presser which forces the opponent, who is on the ball, to cancel his plan and play the ball back into his own half.

De Jong dispossessing an oppenent

The way the Lancers build their game mandates that the man on the ball envisions multiple passing routes to use at every given moment. De Jong does just that and distributes incisive passes with no hesitation. Most of the times, he is also able to make those subtle passes which greatly influence the result of a match.

Another likeable thing about the youngster is that he isvery alert on the pitch and often positions himself to receive a pass with minimal pressure from the opposition. Naturally, he would quickly look over his shoulder to see if there is an opponent and then scan the areas where he can pass the ball forward to keep the attack going.

It's the brilliant footballing vision of the Dutchman and certain other strong traits that make him a well-rounded midfielder.

Ajax employ a counterpass immediately after a turnover, which has a compact style that allows an easier access to the ball. Thus, they usually have more possession than their opposition. Despite the limited time off the ball, de Jong boasts good stats when out of possession.

The Ajax starlet has been heavily linked to Barcelona and Spurs

Last month, international human rights group Fortify Rights accused the Myanmar government of genocide against the Rohingya minority living in the country. Thousands fled violence amid an uprising in August 2017 and attempted to enter neighboring Bangladesh, leading to a refugee crisis there.

The Rohingya, a group of ethnic Muslims largely living in Myanmar's Rakhine state, are a religious minority in Myanmar, but are denied citizenship and an ethnic minority status.

Within a few weeks of the uprising, conservative estimates from Doctors Without Borders showed at least 6,700 Rohingya were killed in the violence, including at least 730 children under the age of 5, and hundreds of thousandsyear. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has appealed that ruling, and it’s now headed to the US 6th Circuit court of appeals.

Semi is capable of 500 miles of range at highway speed, he said. While lengths under that range are generally considered regional, rather than a long-haul, the truck would satisfy many freight requirements. Nearly 80 percent of freight in the U.S. is moved less than 250 miles. The average length-of-haul in the trucking industry has dropped from about 800 miles 15 years ago to about 500 miles last year, according to the American Trucking Associations, a result of port expansions nationwide and the e-commerce boom.

2. Houska

Houska Castle is nicknamed The Gateway to Hell. Built in the 13th century in what is now the Czech Republic, it is said to have been constructed over a bottomless well that is a portal to hell, and therefore the structure was built to contain it instead of protecting residents from outside forces. The legend says:

When construction of the castle began, local prisoners who had been sentenced to death were invited to the site and offered a reprieve


for being lowered down into the cave and then reporting there findings.

The first volunteer was lowered down, and after only a few seconds after disappearing into the darkness his screams were heard above. When unfortunate fellow was pulled to the surface his hair had gone white and he was still screaming. The prisoner was sent to an insane asylum where he died two days later from unknown causes.

The current owners have renovated the castle, and opened it to the public for the first time only in 1999. Houska Castle was the subject of the TV show Ghost Hunters Internationalin 2009.

8. Huniazilor

Hunyad Castle (Castelul Huniazilor) is in Hunedoara, Romania, a Transylvanian town. It was built by King Carol Robert of Anjou (also known as Charles I) in 1307 and completed in 1315. It was restored in the mid-15th century and modified many times since then. It also goes by the name Corvin Castle (Castelul Corvineştilor) and even more names in other languages. This castle was in Hungary when it was owned by King Matthias Corvin, a contemporary of Vlad III. Corvin, a former friend, imprisoned Vlad in Hunyad Castle for seven years, but then became allies again and Vlad was set free. Vlad’s lengthy stay in the castle gives it a valid reasonsuch as declines in traditional fish stocks, population increases, climate change and illegal fishing.

"These boom-and-bust cycles occur across a range of resource industries," says co-author Nathan Bennett, a postdoctoral fellow at UBC. "What makes these fisheries so tricky is that they appear rapidly and often deplete local resources just as rapidly, leaving communities with little time to recover."

The researchers based their findings on a case study of Río Lagartos, a fishing community on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. For the past 50 years, small-scale commercial fishing has been the dominant livelihood of the community.

The town's first commercial sea cucumber permits were issued in 2013, a significant economic opportunity for fishers in the region. The leathery marine animals are a delicacy in many parts of Asia, and as stocks have depleted
