LONDON (Reuters) - Some Brexit-supporting lawmakers in British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party could support her divorce deal if she sets out when she will quit, The Times newspaper reported.

With just four months to go until the United Kingdom is due to leave the European Union on March 29, the fate of May’s divorce deal is uncertain as she faces significant opposition in parliament from lawmakers in all parties.

May has 314 active Conservative lawmakers in the 650-seat House of Commons and would need around 320 votes to ratify the deal under current attendance projections.

Speedy DeShields helps pace Rangers in 5-3 win over Mariners

by STEPHEN HAWKINS, AP Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Delino DeShields homered after taking a speedier trip around the bases for an earlier run as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series matching teams still hoping to get one of the AL's two wild cards.

Cole Hamels (10-3) struck out seven in six innings to win for the first time in his last four starts.

DeShields reached on a one-out bunt singlein the second, when he was initially called out before a replay challenge overturned the call. DeShields then raced home from first on Shin-Soo Choo's two-run double that made it 4-1, running through a stop sign from fill-in third-base coach Jason Wood and scoring on a nifty headfirst slide.

Two innings later, DeShields hit his fifth homer.

Alex Claudio worked a perfect ninth to get his eighth save in 12 chances for the Rangers (72-71), who got within two games of idle Minnesota for the American League's second wild-card spot. Seattle (71-73) is 3 1/2 games back.

Kyle Seager and Mitch Haniger homered for Seattle. Seager led off the second with his 23rd homer and Haniger, who had three hits and finished a triple shy of the cycle, had a two-run


shot in the third.

Mariners starter Ariel Miranda (8-7) allowed gave up six hits and walked three in only 1 2-3 innings.

Texas led for good when Nomar Mazara hit a two-run double in the first — a ball that ricocheted off the upper half of the wall in right-center field.

COACHING THIRD

Wood, the Rangers' Triple-A manager, coached third base with Tony Beasley out to deal with a personal matter. But the Rangers said it wasn't a health issue for Beasley, who was limited last season while undergoing treatment for rectal cancer.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Mariners: OF Jarrod Dyson, whose 28 stolen bases were tied for third in the American League, is done for the season. He will have surgery to repair something similar to a groin injury. He hasn't played since Sept. 2,a pre-cash society that was prone to conflict over land and limited resources. But times were changing, and the Scottish king was perpetually short of cash. In 1464, James III convinced Parliament to revoke the grants issued by his father, who had been ‘misled by certain men then around him during his minority’, and allow him to feu them out.[3] Professor Mitchison tells us that although the Crown ‘had been feuing land occasionally since the thirteenth century … in the late fifteenth century the practice became more frequent. The tenants got security and the king got cash. . . .’[4]

Though I have no direct evidence, I suspect that this Donald was Donald Dùbh, younger brother of the laird of Loup and eventual founder of the Tarbert family. Most


of the early landholding Macalisters in Bute and Arran seem to have had connexions to one or another of the leading families (indeed, the leading families were the only ones in this clan to hold land anywhere at this point), and I am unaware of another Donald of note in the clan at this time. It’s possible that before he was appointed keeper of Tarbert castle in 1540, Donald Dùbh had made his home in Bute, much as two hundred years later his descendant Charles, of Tor in Arran, made his home on that island before succeeding as the 8th laird of Tarbert.

Whoever Donaldo Makalester was, his lands (the southern part of a property called Langilwenach in the parish of Kingarth[5]) were not be passed on to hisheirs — male or female. In or before 1555, Macalister sold his Bute property to John M’Wyrartie and his wife Katherin Glas.[6]

On this day in 1689, Jacobite forces under John Graham, Viscount Dundee, inflicted a spectacular defeat on the forces of William of Orange at Killiecrankie in Perthshire. Among Dundee’s forces, fighting with the young MacDonald of Largie in a regiment led by Sir Alexander Maclean, were Alexander Macalister of Loup, and (probably) Alexander Macalister of Kinlochkellisport.[1] (Tarbert and Balinakill – the other two Macalister lairds who had participated in the rising’s early stages – had remained in Ireland with King James.) The Grameid, a Latin poem written shortly after the battle, names in flowery language the various clans that joined Dundee; lines 394-396 tell us: “The hero


Loupe was one most faithful to the King, among those whom the rebel land of Argyll begat. The mighty M’Alister, second to none in warlike spirit, summons his clan from the paternal fields.”[2]

Killiecrankie was the climactic battle in the first Jacobite rising, which began a few months earlier when the Argyllshire clans learned that William of Orange had taken the throne and King James VII had fled to Ireland. In fact, nearly the entire force of ca. 2000 raised by Dundee consisted of (mostly West Highland) clansmen – some, but not all, following their chiefs. The clansmen rallied to Dundee for a variety of reasons, including religion (most of the Jacobites in all of the rebellions were Episcopalians) and politics. But Sir Alastair Campbell of Airds is probablycorrect in his assertion that their immediate motivation, “neither for the first nor the last time, seems to have owed much to a shared antipathy to Argyll and his Clan”.[3] Indeed, with a new, Protestant king in place partly thanks to the Earl of Argyll, the chiefly line of Clan Campbell seemed poised to rise from the ashes yet again, and a resurgent House of Argyll threatened most of its neighbours for one reason or another. When Sir Alexander Maclean was granted a commission by the king in Ireland to raise a force in Kintyre, he found what Paul Hopkins calls the ‘non-Campbell clans’ in the north of the peninsula “unable to resist alone for long . . . but anxious to rise”.[4]

Dundee’s force seems not to have


at Killiecrankie was the seizure of Blair Castle, ancestral home of the Murrays of Atholl, by Patrick Steuart of Ballechin on Dundee’s orders.Learning of the castle’s fall, Lord Murray hurried to its defence, but with a small force and little ammunition, he could only set up a blockade and write to the new government for help. In response, General Mackay headed north. On the 26th of July, Lord Murray withdrew by several miles, and Dundee with his Highland army arrived at Blair Castle. By the following afternoon, Mackay’s force – six battalions of foot and two troops of horse, with some ‘leather’ cannons[7](about 3,500 men) – had arrived.

Mackay’s army considerably outnumbered Dundee’s, but the Highlanders had several advantages. First, in the words of John Roberts, “Dundee had executedwhat can only be described as a brilliant tour-de-force”[8]: instead of taking the main road to the site of battle, he had led his troops up a back way, so that by the time Mackay saw them, they were uphill from the government forces, gaining a tactical advantage. Then, Dundee withheld the command to attack for two hours. Although there was a practical reason for this – the setting sun was in his warriors’ eyes – it must have been unnerving for those awaiting attack below. Third, Mackay was overly confident in the ability of his trained soldiers and horse to defeat what was (despite the image of Highland clans as violent, feuding warriors) essentially an untried force, most of whom had never before faced a battle.

But the


company of such men as Campbell of Auchinbreck, Campbell of Lochnell and Campbell of Otter. Evidently by this point Tarbert was seen as the head of a distinct house.

Although the Macalister connexion to Tarbert went back to the 1540s, it was not until the very end of the sixteenth century that these Macalisters began to act as a separate branch of the clan. They were not required to sign the General Band of 1587, suggesting that they were still very much under the authority of the Macalister chief, and as of 1591, they still held their lands as tenants of Loup rather than directly from Argyll. In 1596, they were included in a list of Kintyre landholders, but not given any particular prominence.[6] In fact, we first findTarbert lairds acting independently at the start of the 1600s, when two of them, Hector and Archibald successively, are in trouble for raiding in Arran and Bute. Interestingly, in Archibald’s case his associates included the Earl of Argyll, suggesting that he was already on good terms with the chief of Clan Campbell.

I suspect the key to the Tarberts’ rise to prominence might lie in the status of the Loup family at this time. The head of our clan at the turn of the century was Godfrey 5th of Loup – a troublemaker in general (it was he who murdered his tutor in 1597 and instigated the Askomil incident) and a close associate of the even-more-troublesome Dunyvaig Macdonalds. Godfrey was followed as chief by Hector, who was a minor


been a factor. Whatever the reasons, in this period the Tarbert Macalisters appear more frequently in connexion with various Campbell lairds than with anyone else.

Although Hector of Loup was finally an adult by this time, recognised as one of the primary Kintyre lairds and included in the peace-keeping arrangement of 1618, it makes sense that it would be Tarbert rather than Loup who was called upon to be party to the Campbell bond. Though loyalties would vary from generation to generation, from this point on the Tarbert family were their own men, and they continued to play a prominent role in events in Kintyre well into the 18th century.

[3]Argyll had been granted permission to travel to England. Instead, he went to Spain, and he did not return whenordered to do so. In view of his dire financial situation – caused partly by other people’s failure to pay him rents and debts owed – it is hardly surprising that he wanted to escape, and as he had converted to Catholicism, Spain was a logical place to start again. Spain was not seen as a friend of Scotland at this time, however, and to make matters worse, once he was there the earl established friendly relations with a number of the king’s enemies, among them his own erstwhile foe, Sir James Macdonald of Dunyvaig. Eventually he was declared a traitor by King James, and although he spent his final days in London, he was never allowed to return to Scotland. (Wm. Anderson, The Scottish Nation, vol. I


connected were the various Macalister families in Kintyre, and how involved they were in each other’s public lives. The first of the three was written by Archibald Macalister of Tarbert, who granted to John McKinnie, minister at Kilcalmonell, a plot of land for the building of a manse. The legal overseer of the process was Ronald McAlester, who was baillie in Clachan, and the document was witnessed by Ronald’s son Colin and by another of the clan who came from Lochhead (Campbeltown).

This Ronald might have been Tarbert’s brother, Ronald of Dunskeig, who had a son named Coll. The role of baillie was generally filled by men of some influence locally, which suggests a connexion to one of the more important families, and Dunskeig, like Balinakill (which this familyin the mid 1600s, and according to Gordon Donaldson, it was not long before “the potentialities of the commissioners for purposes other than raising money were realised”.[4] Over time their duties expanded into areas unrelated to taxation or land value. In 1669, for instance, they were made responsible for the building and maintenance of roads and bridges; in 1696 they were empowered to enforce the Education Act. Their role continued to grow through the 18th century and into the 19th. By the 1850s, however, elected officials were assuming many of their functions, and with the establishment in 1889 of county councils, the commissioners’ role had become redundant. The position was abolished in the early 1900s.

The inclusion in this list of Ronald of Tarbert suggests that, although the Clan


Alasdair didn’t rampage through history quite as conspicuously as the Campbells, Macdonalds and Macleans, they were nonetheless men of considerable standing in Argyll. It is therefore interesting to note that the primary branch of the clan, Macalister of Loup, is missing. I suspect, although it is just a guess, that in 1667 the clan was between chiefs. Hector Macalister of Loup last appears in Parliamentary records in the year 1661; I believe he is also the Macalister of Loup named Justice of the Peace in 1663. After that the family disappears until 1669, by which point Godfrey Macalister had succeeded his father as chief.

On this day in 1661, Ronald Macalister of Tarbert and John Dow Macalister of Glenakill submitted to the arbitration of several men, chosen by Tarbertthe areas involved. The Tarbert Fairs were to begin on 10th May, 16th July, 19th August, and the 16th of October, and they were to continue for two days. Macalister and his heirs were granted the right to hold these events, to collect tolls and customs and to enjoy other privileges connected with the events.1

The Tarbert Fair did benefit the area – so much so that it outlasted both the original Scottish Parliament (which voted itself out of existence in 1707) and the Macalisters of Tarbert. In 1886, Dugald Mitchell called it “a great institution of the village”, and noted that although livestock and goods were still sold there, Tarbert Fair for most people had become a social event, a chance to meet up with friends and family


from other parts of Kintyre and the Isles. By Mitchell’s time, the fair was being held only once a year, on the last Thursday in July, and lasted for three days.2

Today, Tarbert Fair remains one of Tarbert’s most important annual events. It now begins the last Wednesday of July and runs for four days; livestock have disappeared entirely, and instead the fair features music, carnival rides, and other entertainments.3 Instead of drawing visitors from only Kintyre and the south Isles, Tarbert Fair now draws people from all over the world. Archibald Macalister might not recognise the modern incarnation of the Tarbert Fair, but it is his legacy to the town nonetheless.

On this day in 1854 Donald (later Sir Donald) Macalister was born in Perth. Because of his longassociation with Glasgow University, he is probably the best known descendant of the Tarbert family, but the direct line of descent is unclear. He lived briefly in Aberdeen as a child before moving with his family to Liverpool at the age of ten.[1]

Donald was the eldest of eight children and the brother of Sir John Young Walker Macalister. Like his brother he dreamt of a medical career; unlike John, Donald eventually fulfilled this dream, earning his doctorate from Cambridge in 1884 and being elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London two years later.[2] However, much of his career was spent in academia, first as a tutor and lecturer at Cambridge, and later at Glasgow, where he was appointed principal in 1907 and chancellor in


did was revoke all the land grants that had been made during his minority. This made both political and economic sense. Extensive grants had given too much power to regional strongmen such as (in Kintyre) the third Earl of Argyll, and the rentals collected by these men from their tenants often failed to reach the king’s purse.[2]Nonetheless, revoking the grants inevitably meant a lot of unhappy, newly landless families, some of whom – such as the various branches of Clan Donald – were bound to cause trouble.

Second, the Earl of Argyll himself died in 1529. As occasionally happened, the Macdonalds of Islay and their allies – including the Macleans and the Macalisters (in the person of Donald’s brother, Alexander of Loup) – took advantage of the situation toWhat’s in a logo?

Those who have followed the journey that God has had Desire Street Ministries on the past 27 years might agree that His hand has been steady on His work through the people, despite literal and figurative storms, as well as His shifting plans for how to use this ministry best for His glory.

Part of that journey has been the look of Desire Street through the logo. Our prior logo was an iconic representation of the origins of the ministry in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Desire Street Academy was flourishing, along with many other ways in which the Lord was working in and through the neighborhood.

That was Desire Street Ministries Phase 1. After Hurricane


Katrina, the ministry rallied to care for kids and families impacted by the devastation. After graduating all of the DSA students through the makeshift boarding school created in Baton Rouge, God called the Board and Danny to a new vision of how Desire Street could impact many other neighborhoods through the learnings in Desire, and by His grace, Desire Street Ministries Phase 2 began with a new approach to join together with other leaders living in under-resourced neighborhoods, to live and serve with their neighbors to see revitalization through holistic spiritual and community development.

What a journey that has been! Through the wisdom of Dr. Anthony Gordon, and many others, the ministry has impacted countless other leaders through encouraging, equipping and connecting them to others doing the same Kingdomgreat physical flexibility. Image: Roy Winkelman/University of South Florida

New Orleans, who even considered trading down had Jean-Baptiste not been available, picked the former Nebraska Husker at the 26th position (58th overall) in the second round of the draft and in him they're getting a player that will fill a need of the team to perfection.

With NFL defensive backs increasingly having to defend against taller wide receivers and tight ends, big cornerbacks have never been more in vogue than they are now. But size isn't all that Jean-Baptiste brings to the table: the 6'3", 218 lbs.


rookie comes with an arsenal that includes rare athleticism and football instincts to spare.

Saints Draft Stanley Jean-Baptiste Everything you need to know about the newest member of Who Dat Nation.

Jean-Baptiste is far from perfect however, as are most first-year players. There are flaws in his game that he'll need to erase in order to consistently see the field in New Orleans where he'll be competing with no less than three veteran cornerbacks (Champ Bailey, Corey White and Patrick Robinson) for a starting job.

As raw as he sometimes looks, when watching his game film, it is fairly easy to see why the Saints fell in love with Jean-Baptiste's abilities and maybe more importantly, his enormous potential. Let's take a look at the tape and judge for ourselves.

***

Physical Cornerback

In 2013,Jean-Baptiste had 41 total tackles (27 solo), 12 passes defended and four interceptions. His willingness to get his hands dirty is apparent on film, although at times he appears to shy away from contact.

On this next play in a game against Illinois last year, he shows the ability to shed the block of a wide receiver and help against the run. Pre-snap, Jean-Baptiste (#16, red circle) is lined up in press coverage.

Post-snap, the Illini quarterback hands the ball to his running back (blue arrow) and the wide receiver immediately engages the Huskers cornerback (red circle).

Jean-Baptiste sheds the block of Illinois wide receiver Ryan Lankford (#12, red circle), while Huskers defensive end Jason Ankrah (#9, blue circle) forces running back Donovonn Young (#5, blue circle) wide.

Jean-Baptiste darts towards Young


will have to quickly learn in the NFL. His aggressive nature and tendencies to go for the ball got him interceptions, but also got the best of him at times in college.

In this next GIF, with a perfectly executed double move, former Penn State wide receiver (now with the Jacksonville Jaguars) Allen Robinson schools Jean-Baptiste by turning his strength into a weakness. The Huskers cornerback is only bailed out by an overthrow from the Nittany Lions quarterback.

***

He looks plenty fast to me!

In the age we live in, where every single aspect of a draft prospect is dissected, even the slightest flaw will get exposed. Jean-Baptiste's top-end speed had been questioned, after he ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the 2014 NFL combine. However, in a familiar environment atNebraska's pro-day, he improved that mark to a very good 4.45.

That result, along with plays like the one below should help quell the fears of Saints fans with regards to Jean-Baptiste's speed. After picking the ball off at the goal line, he not only shows more than adequate speed in returning it nearly 40 yards, he also displays an elusiveness that could have him be considered for kick-off return duties in New Orleans.

***

All in all, the New Orleans Saints and the Who Dat Nation should be very happy with the team's selection of Stanley Jean-Baptiste in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. If he develops quickly and lives up to his potential, Jean-Baptiste could become a full-time starter with the Saints before the end of the


any other era of Doctor Who, it is one I often have to enjoy in spite of itself.

So yes. To get up to speed, in 1985, while Colin Baker was the incumbent Doctor, Robert Holmes was commissioned to write a story pairing him with the Second Doctor. The result is The Two Doctors. But for reasons obscured by the mists of 1985 (which will turn out to be a very misty year, with almost nobody involved in the series having an account of it that is entirely compatible with anyone else's), he did so in a way that wrecked havoc with continuity. Specifically, he has the Second Doctor and Jamie traveling alone together (Victoria is said to be "studying graphology") in an apparently accurately steerable TARDIS doing missionsfor the Time Lords. All parts of this, including, frankly, Victoria the graphologist, seem patently ludicrous in terms of the Troughton era, where the Doctor clearly could not steer the TARDIS and where Jamie has clearly not heard of the Time Lords (since he asks about them in The War Games).

The resulting continuity problems are why the Season 6B idea was cooked up. Mind you, Holmes seemed to know what he was doing at the time. Which isn't surprising - we shouldn't forget that Holmes wrote the stories immediately before and after The War Games. In an interview, quoted extensively here, he states his view that the Time Lords were in partial control of the TARDIS throughout Troughton's tenure and that the trial was a hypocritical sham -


hear it out of Troughton's is jaw-dropping. There is no point anywhere in seasons 4-6 where Troughton's Doctor would ever say anything like that to Jamie. If nothing else, Season 6B makes more sense than fouling the actual televised Doctor with that.

But that's hardly the only problem here. Watched immediately after The War Games or, as I ended up watching it, interleaved with episodes of Spearhead From Space, The Two Doctors is jarring in its extremity. It's not just the anger of the Second Doctor. It's not even the violence of it - the lion's share of The War Games, after all, is set in a reenactment of World War I. Rather, it's the way the series here revels in the violence.

There is, for someone accustomed to theso, but utopian all the same. Baker's Doctor isn't at all. Baker's show isn't at all. It's not that the show has nothing to say, nor that what it has to say is wrong. It's just that it doesn't seem to have anything good to say about the world. It is an ugly, cynical, and vicious show, at least when compared to the Troughton era.

Which is basically where the entire Season 6B debate ends up. Yes, in terms of what happens on screen up to 1985, Season 6B is probably the easiest and simplest explanation for the continuity errors involved in The Two Doctors. It only involves retconning a single episode of the Troughton era, unlike Holmes's apparent intentions, which muck up most of the era. Tat Wood's


AKRON, Ohio -- A toddler who died after her mother found her on a porch in freezing temperatures had wandered from home when her father fell asleep, police in Akron, Ohio, announced Monday. Two-year-old Wynter Parker's mother left for a few hours Friday afternoon only to come back and find her daughter unresponsive on their apartment's front porch, authorities said.

Her mother frantically called 911, and the young girl was taken to Akron children's hospital where she later died. Temperatures on Friday ranged between 12 and 19 degrees Fahrenheit.

The mother left Wynter with her father for about two hours at the family's apartment and authorities said the man -- who works a night shift -- fell asleep.

The present research examined the correlations between types of family relationships and adolescents' beliefs about their own health. "Healthy" adolescents (N=765) completed both the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control questionnaire and Olson's scale assessing family cohesion and adaptability. They were compared to a group of 358 adolescents diagnosed with mental disorders. Cohesion in the family of origin was a significant factor in the adolescents' feeling of control over their own health as well as in the level of power they attributed to other people. Among these adolescents, adaptability of the family of origin was positively correlated with stronger feelings of control over one's own health and with lower levels of belief in chance. Family relations were significant in the adolescents' acquisition of feelings of control

Addelman told Postmedia that the sentence reflects Larmond’s degree of responsibility, and his guilty plea allowed his followers, twin brother Carlos Larmond and Suliman Mohamed, 23, to get more favourable sentences. Carlos Larmond and Mohamed were each sentenced to seven years.

Carlos Larmond was arrested in January 2015 at a Montreal airport as he was boarding a flight overseas with plans of joining ISIL. He sold his belongings on the Internet before taking a train from Ottawa to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. His descent into extremism was quick and came at the behest of his dominant twin brother. In RCMP wiretaps, Carlos expressed hatred for Imams who preach modern Islam. He said they’re worse than infidels because they tell Muslims to sharpen pencils insteadof knives.

Ashton Larmond gave up his street life in Vanier in 2011 when he converted to Islam. He went from ecstasy parties and hip hop to studying an extreme form of Islam, and when his passport was revoked days before a scheduled flight overseas to join ISIL, he grew increasingly frustrated and instead spent his time recruiting others — including and unbeknownst to him, an undercover RCMP agent.

The RCMP’s case against the three men involved wiretap and informant-provided body-wire evidence. That evidence revealed, in particular, disturbing thoughts and plans by the Ottawa network’s director, Ashton Larmond:

FACTS
On March 13, 1990, Baltimore City police arrested McKay and charged him with the shooting of Roth, a 28-year-old trim carpenter from Annapolis. The shooting occurred the previous night during an altercation between Roth and McKay outside the Sugar Shack Bar in South Baltimore. Roth sustained wounds to his right hand, right chest, and back. The gunshot wound to his back left him paralyzed.
Following a two day trial, which ended January 24, 1991, McKay, who was twenty-three at the time of trial, was convicted of assault with intent to murder, carrying a handgun, and using a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence. On February 26, 1991, the court heard arguments on McKay's motion for a new trial. Defense counselargued that the trial judge's refusal to give a jury instruction about a hot-blooded response to legally adequate provocation deprived her client of an "adequate defense, because he had one-third of his defense cut out from under him." McKay's motion was denied, and he was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison.
The shooting occurred shortly before midnight on March 12, 1990, on East Patapsco Avenue in the Brooklyn section of South Baltimore. A witness at the scene told police the gunman's name was Steven McKay; and later at the hospital, Roth identified McKay from police photographs. Police recovered a black nine-shot.22 caliber handgun[1] from under a chair in the apartment where McKay was arrested the day after the shooting.

Such a mutation introduces the potential for further genetic variation within the population.

No simple relationship exists between a mutation and the degree of phenotypic change it might produce. For instance, a single base mutation in the gene of a serum albumin might marginally modify the physical chemistry of the blood, perhaps with some impact on adaptation or perhaps not. On the other hand, a similar mutation in a gene that affects the timing of the program of embryological development might have dramatic consequences for the mature organism. The slowing


the elements. This process, known as weathering, can be calibrated, and by looking at the degree of weathering evident in a fossil bone, it is therefore possible to determine how long the bone lay on the surface before its burial. Applying this technique to the sites at Olduvai reveals that in many cases bones accumulated over periods of 5 to 10 years. This would be unheard of in modern hunter-gatherer sites, which are occupied only briefly.112

## Clues from marks on bones

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, several researchers discovered on the surface of a small percentage of the Olduvai bones what appeared to be marks made by stone tools (Fig. 4.7). Thus, although the sites might not have been typical hunter-gatherer home bases, it did appear thatMuseum, London, as is seen in the dwarfing of species on islands.191 According to Robert Martin, of the University of Chicago, the stress results from a shift to early weaning, a strategy that boosts reproductive output in the face of the competition associated with increased populations. Early weaning inevitably leads to a reduction in brain size, though not, says Martin, necessarily to a reduction in body size. This viewpoint separates Martin from most anthropologists, who argue that reductions of brain size in recent history simply followed in the path of body-size reductions.

The advent of agriculture was once viewed as the universal change in human culture that produced a universal change in human physique. As more was learned about the shift from foraging to food production, however, this notion


John Constable (1776 – 1837) broke new artistic ground in the 19th century, with scrupulous images of nature and extraordinary broken colors. Constable lived in England, gaining fame for his cloud-swept local landscapes. He made numerous sketches of his subjects outdoors, before painting the final artworks in his London studio. Shunning tradition, Constable represented light with daubs of white or yellow, and storms with swift brushstrokes. Although he was snubbed by his own country, Constable won several gold medals in France. His exemplary work strongly impacted the French romantics, the Barbizon school and the Impressionists.Women at work at the telephone switchboard, 1914 (Library of Congress)

In the mid-20th century, in response to the United States’ rapidly expanding telephone network, executives at the Bell System introduced a new way of dialing the phone. Until then, for the most part, it was human operators—mostly women—who had directed calls to their destinations.

Dialing systems had reflected this reliance on the vocal cord. Phone numbers weren’t numbers; they were alphanumeric addresses, named after phone exchanges that encompassed particular geographic areas. The Elizabeth Taylor movie Butterfield 8gets its name from that system: The Butterfield exchange served the tony establishments of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, should you have attempted to call their apartment, were apparently reachable with a request for "Murray Hill 5-9975."

That system evolved, slowly.


the North American Numbering Plan, a decade earlier. Recognizing that users of the phone system (as users of any technology are wont to do when transition comes along) would likely resist the change, the group did so slowly, and strategically. It built in long grace periods for people to accommodate themselves to the new numbers. It produced pamphlets methodically explaining the new system.

Still, people protested. In San Francisco, a group sprang up to battle Bell and its numbering scheme. The Anti-Digit Dialing League—consisting of thousands of members at its height, including the semanticist S.I. Hayakawa—decried Bell's version of digital transition. The all-digit dialing system was evidence of "the cult of technology,” the League argued, not to mention that cult’s "creeping numeralism." To make its point, the group publishedfelt at the changes that Bell, the behemoth corporate interest, was imposing on their behalf. As John Brooks put it in his book Telephone: The First Hundred Years,

All-Number Calling—it is clear in hindsight—stood in the minds of many for the age of the impersonal, when people live in huge apartment buildings, travel on eight-lane highways and identify themselves in many places—bank, job, income tax return, credit agency—by numbers.

Those concerns feel familiar today, as we continue to navigate well-worn anxieties that pit human labor against automated, and things that are named against things that are numbered. Individual privacy was a concern even in those early days of telephony—one common argument against human phone operators being that automation would make surveillance of phone calls less likely. People feared, too, that


automation.

From there, it proceeded cautiously, and strategically. Once the company had chosen Englewood as its test city, it began a long public-education campaign in the area, explaining—through newspaper articles and pamphlets and movie shorts—how to use the new dialing system. "To reach a distance telephone," read a guide distributed in Englewood, "all you need do is first dial the Area Code, and then the desired telephone number. Be sure to enter the Area Code for distant points in the address book with the telephone number."

On November 10, 1951, the official rollout of area codes took place. With 100 guests watching, Englewood Mayor M. Leslie Denning dialed a number: 415-LA-3-9727. Exactly 17 seconds later, Denning’s call was picked up by Frank Osborn, the mayor of Alameda, California. Bell engineerscalled the cross-continental and intramayoral conversation a "historic first in communications." And newspapers, for their part, were even more jubilant about the proceedings. As The New York Times put it in an article announcing the Englewood test-call, “the vine-like network of this small community's telephone plant will grow tomorrow like an atomic age descendant of Jack the Giant Killer's beanstalk.”

***

As the network grew, it also became more complex. Splits and overlays of area codes, especially as the population of phone users grew in the 1980s and 1990s, became common. Lapsley points out that, when codes split—as 408 did in 1998, leading to 831—there can be resentment and even anger associated with the division. As the communications scholar James Katz told Gene Weingarten in 1998: "When we are assigned


to a 12-person team working out of an office in Sterling, Virginia: the current administrators of the North American Numbering Plan. For a brief period in the 1990s, it was Lockheed Martin that oversaw that administration; after Lockheed got involved with telecom concerns, however, the FCC decided that it needed a neutral and non-governmental body to administer the nation's numbers. Lockheed's numbering division divested itself and became Neustar, which remains under contract with the FCC.

Any changes made to the existing system are "going to include the numbers that we have today."

John Manning is the Senior Director of NANPA at Neustar, overseeing the nation's numbering system on behalf of the FCC and the rest of us. He spends a lot of time thinking about phones and phone numbers. HeThe move was part of a "safe haven" law designed to address increased rates of infanticide in the state. Like other safe-haven laws, parents in Nebraska who felt unprepared to care for their babies could drop them off in a designated location without fear of arrest and prosecution. But legislators made a major logistical error: They failed to implement an age limitation for dropped-off children.

Within just weeks of the law passing, parents started dropping off their kids. But here's the rub: None of them were infants. A couple of months in, 36 children had been left in state hospitals and police stations. Twenty-two of the children were over 13 years old. A 51-year-old grandmother dropped off a 12-year-old boy. One father dropped off his entire family -- nine

To compete with the classic muscle car Mustang from Ford, the Chevrolet Camaro was released in 1966, with four distinct generations developed until it ended production in 2002. The Camaro was revived though in 2009 as a concept car, which eventually evolved into a fifth generation model for the vehicle. Production of the fifth-generation Camaro began in March 2009 and is still currently in production. In 2007, the car made its big-screen debut in Transformers as the vehicle mode for the Autobot Bumblebee. In 2013, the Camaro boasts of being the car used by almost all of the Chevy teams participating in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

History of Chevrolet Camaro

Chevrolet Camaro was launched by Chevrolet, an American automaker, in the September 29, 1966 with an FR layout. This car was manufactured by the General Motors Company and is closely related to the Pontiac Firebird. The Camaro is classified as a pony car, a sports car, or a muscle car, and over the years, that car has had the two door coupé and two door convertible body styles.

Camaro was created to become the main competitor of Ford Mustang, which was given the code name Panther. Although it went on sale only in Spetember 29, the Camaro was displayed in September 12 in Michigan, and on September 19 in California. This came to be the first generation Camaro and stayed in the market until1969. In February 1970 until 1981, the second generation Camaro was released, and the redesign of the car was greatly noticeable.

The third generation came in 1982 and stayed in the market for a decade. In 1993, the fourth generation came still with an F body platform, and it retained several features as well, including a rear wheel drive, 2 plus 2 seating, convertible, and V8 or 6 cylinder engines. This model remained until 2002, and for seven years, the Camaro took a break from the market. It was only in 2009 that the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro was released, which was largely based on the 2006 Camaro Concept and the 2007 Camaro Convertible Concept. It came to be known as the World Car Design of the Year in


which Mr. Callendar might wish to reconsider. In the first place he thought it was not sufficiently realised by non-meteorologists who came for the first time to help the Society in its study, that it was impossible to solve the problem of the temperature distribution in the atmosphere by working out the radiation. The atmosphere was not in a state of radiative equilibrium, and it also received heat by transfer from one part to another. In the second place, one had to remember that the temperature distribution in the atmosphere was determined almost entirely by the movement of the air up and down. This forced the atmosphere into a temperature distribution which was quite out of balance with the radiation. One could not, therefore, calculate the effect ofand we would have achieved MORE by not doing any “research” at all.

Mr Turner asks whether anyone understands the jet streams. The polar jet streams were discovered by accident in the Second World War. They have been much studied, since the recent displacement of the circumpolar vortex caused eddies in the northern polar jet stream, giving many places in eastern North America their coldest winter on record.

Mr Jonas queries whether the Singer Event – a step-change in global temperature in the late 1990s – occurred. Yes, it did, beginning with the rebound in global temperatures following the Pinatubo eruption, and ending with the Great el Niño of 1998. The Singer Event was self-evidently not caused by CO2. One would not necessarily expect CO2-driven warming to be entirely smooth.


based on "facts and science and argument," lavishing subsidies on electric cars is an intellectual scandal. The J.D. Power study is hardly an outlier.

The Twin Cities Ordnance Plant comprised an area of 2,425 acres, lying north of the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

and equipped in the same manner as the ordinary municipally-operated fire department.
Defendant operated said plant as a cost-plus-a-fixed-fee contractor with the United States government, manufacturing ordnance for the United States Army, and in this process large amounts of high explosive powder were used.
Prior to March 19, 1944, plaintiffs worked for defendant in shifts of eight hours or more per day, forty-eight or more hours per week, and defendant maintained said fire-fighting service and facilities twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, employing three alternate shifts per day of approximately eight hours each.

Ian MacCormick (known by the pseudonymIan MacDonald; 3 October 1948 – 20 August 2003) was a British music critic and author, best known for both Revolution in the Head, his critical history of the Beatles which borrowed techniques from art historians, and The New Shostakovich, a study of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. MacDonald was instrumental in popularising Nick Drake during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Biography

MacDonald briefly attended King's College, Cambridge, at first to study English, then Archaeology and Anthropology. He dropped out after a year. While at Cambridge, he was distantly acquainted with the singer/songwriter Nick Drake. From 1972 to 1975 he served as assistant editor at the NME. MacDonald began a songwriting collaboration as lyricist with Quiet Sun, which included his brother Bill MacCormick and


future Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. The collaboration resumed in the late 1970s, with MacDonald providing lyrics for the album Listen Now. Later, Brian Eno assisted MacDonald in producing Sub Rosa, an album of his songs released on Manzanera's label.

MacDonald returned to teaching at Colonel Gray High School before retiring in the early 2000s. Following the electoral victory of Robert Ghiz in the 2007 general election, MacDonald was appointed Executive Assistant to the Premier.

Early life

He was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and was a solicitor before entering politics. He was also a Councillor in the Burdekin Shire Council 1979–90. He was Vice-President of the Liberal Party in Queensland from 1987 to 1990.

Early political career

In 1992, Macdonald was appointed to the Opposition Shadow Ministry under Liberal leader John Hewson asShadow Minister for Local Government and the Australian Capital Territory. In 1994, following Alexander Downer's accession to the party leadership, MacDonald was given the positions of Shadow Minister for Regional Development and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and continued to serve at these positions under Opposition leader John Howard.

Author Wilma Dykeman (1920-2006) pioneered and popularized the concepts of Appalachian Studies and Appalachian Literature. Her focus on the role of the mountain woman in her family and the community is perhaps reflected best in her novels “The Tall Woman” (1962), “The Far Family” (1966), and “Return the Innocent Earth” (1973). In this next segment, we’ll listen to anexcerpt from “The Tall Woman.” The main character, Lydia McQueen, wants to build a school for the children in her valley, but one of the men in town, Ham Nelson, opposes the idea.

By Rina Chandran

MUMBAI - Just hours after the high court dismissed petitions against cutting trees in a heavily wooded area in suburban Mumbai for a metro rail depot, hundreds of protesters swarmed the site, crying and clinging to trees as the felling began.

It was an unusual display of emotion for normally stoic Mumbaikars, who braved arrests on Friday night to try and stop the cutting of nearly 3,000 trees in Aarey Colony, known as the Indian city's "green lung".

On Monday, the Supreme Court, after hearing a petition, stayed the cutting of more trees until Oct. 21.

As rising heat and frequent floods batter some of the


world's most densely populated and polluted cities in India, urban residents are rallying around fast disappearing green spaces seen as vital safeguards.

In the southern city of Bengaluru, residents protested the cutting of hundreds of trees for a flyover, while a petition led the Supreme Court to slam the amendment of a colonial-era law to open up the Aravalli mountains for real estate development.

"Earlier, villages bore the brunt of climate-change impacts, but now cities are also experiencing flooding, air pollution and water scarcity more often," said Kanchi Kohli, a researcher at the Centre for Policy Research think tank in Delhi.

"People have realised that disappearing green spaces are a part of the problem, and there is a strong determination to fight on the streets and in the courts because theywill face "unknown" climate conditions by 2050, as rising temperatures heighten the risks of drought and flooding, scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerland have warned.

Cities in tropical regions such as South Asia are likely to see some of the strongest impacts, the study showed.

Nearly 300 people died in floods in 2015 in the coastal city of Chennai, where floodplains have long been built over.

Mumbai's tree cover has fallen to less than 13% from more than 35% in the 1970s, according to the Indian Institute of Science, which recommends green cover of a third of total area.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged to restore 26 million hectares of degraded land by 2030 through tree planting and other means, alongside a push to switch to electric vehicles by


2030 to cut carbon emissions.

But the loss of green spaces in urban areas cannot be offset by planting trees elsewhere, said Chetan Agarwal, an analyst at the Centre for Ecology, Development and Research.

"The loss of green spaces in cities represents a net ecological loss, as large numbers of people are concentrated there and are deprived of their benefits," he said.

"Small and large green spaces provide a toehold for nature in the city, with manifold benefits including better air quality and overall health," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

From Athens to Seoul, big cities worldwide are planting more trees to minimise the severity of heatwaves and floods, and to boost people's physical and mental health.

The United Nations recently unveiled plans to create urban forests in cities in Africa andAsia to improve air quality, cut the risk of floods and heatwaves, and halt land degradation.

DUST STORMS

Nearly 30% of India's land area has been degraded through deforestation, over-cultivation and depletion of wetlands, according to the government.

This is evident in the Aravalli mountains, which run through four states for a distance of nearly 700km (435 miles).

Dilution of environmental laws over the years have led to deforestation, construction and illegal mining, causing desertification, drying up of lakes, and more frequent dust storms.

The Delhi Ridge, a stretch of the Aravallis, acts as lungs for the city's toxic smog, and is a cherished green space.

In February, Haryana state amended the Punjab Land Preservation Act of 1900 to open up thousands of acres of forest land in the Aravallis for construction and mining,


European Commission Considers Taking Over Cartel Investigations to Prevent Exploitation of German Law Loophole

Under German law, companies may escape cartel fines by undertaking an internal restructuring. The German competition authority has indicated a willingness to reallocate such cases to the European Commission, which can impose a fine on the corporate group regardless of any internal restructuring. Commission officials speaking at a conference have suggested recently that the Commission would be willing to take over cartel cases from EU Member States, even at a late stage in the proceedings, in order to fine undertakings for their anti-competitive behaviour.

Background

The German competition authority can impose fines on undertakings that have violated European competition law by forming a cartel. Under German law, if the undertaking ceases to exist, for example by mergingToday's Paper

"Sickies Making Films" Joe Tropea's history of American movie censorship is a 2018 DocFest must-see for its insights into the complicated reasons that Americans have tried to keep other citizens from watching movies they personally find distasteful for religious, moral or aesthetic reasons. The film's chats range from an unrepentant Maryland censor to a filmmaker whose career was inspired by prejudices of Baltimore blue noses. John Waters favors us with a snippet of an infamous scene from one of his films:


Divine chows down on dog poop.

Director Tropea traces the agonizing history of domestic film censorship right down to the game-changing 1950s Supreme Court decision that ended Hollywood's ongoing attempts to placate local censors as the movies came of age at the beginning of the sound era. (Roxie, 6/2, 4)

"Complicit" Heather White and Lynn Zhang follow the long, tragic history of Mainland Chinese factory workers poisoned by exposure to the toxic chemical Benzene, already banned in most industrial countries. The film details the horrendous obstacles to worker safety erected by bottom-line-obsessed government bureaucrats. Featuring heartbreaking personal stories from young Chinese workers betrayed by the Communist dictatorship. (Roxie, 6/5; New People, 6/9)

"The Organizer" Local filmmaker Nick Taylor follows the now-notorious history of the Arkansas group ACORN as it tried, startingin the Nixon years, to empower a multi-racial coalition of low-income residents throughout the old Confederacy. The star is a tall, blond organizer, Wade Rathke, who combines rock-star good looks with a tenacious desire to allow ordinary citizens to buck efforts by the conservative establishment to evict folks from neighborhoods seen as prime for gentrification. As the story unfolds, Rathke is betrayed by a financial scandal involving his brother. He winds up taking his fight to Africa, in the process recalling the career of the late pioneering openly gay labor organizer Howard Wallace. (Roxie, 6/2, 6)

KAIBARA EKKEN(1630–1714)

Kaibara Ekken, or Ekiken, a Japanese Confucianist influential in popularizing Confucian ethics among ordinary people, was born in Fukuoka. The son of a physician, he became a doctor himself, then left medicine to become a Zhu Xi neo-Confucianist. His teachers in Kyoto were Kinoshita Junan (1621–1698) and Yamazaki Ansai. At thirty-nine Kaibara returned to Fukuoka, where he spent the rest of his life in the service of the Kuroda fief. Blessed with an extraordinary capacity for work but little originality, he wrote on many subjects. He became an important botanist with the issuing of separate books on the vegetables, the flora, and the medicinal herbs of Japan. His books on education were pioneering works in pedagogy; Onna daigaku (The great


learning for women), the standard book on women's ethics in the Tokugawa era, is attributed variously to him and to his well-educated wife. His books were a great success. Unlike most Confucianists, who wrote in Chinese, he wrote in Japanese; furthermore, his teaching was highly practical, applying Confucian morality to everyday life. His pedagogical ideas were not equalitarian (he assigned to women the role of mere submissiveness and obedience to their husbands), and his botanical studies were not at all scientific in the modern sense, but he played an important role in spreading education.

Kaibara's philosophical importance today rests on his Taigiroku (The great doubt), in which he aired his dissent with the official doctrine of the Zhu Xi school. Kaibara was also critical of the "ancient learning" schoolof Confucianism and its scholars Itō Jinsai and Ogyū Sorai, and of the Wang Yangming school, the rival of Zhu Xi. Kaibara disagreed with Zhu Xi Confucianism in his elevation of ki, the material force, over ri, the principle immanent in all things. For him ki is the "great limit" or the "ultimate" and is an all-pervading life force. Kaibara does not distinguish the original form of human nature from its acquired form; contrary to Zhu Xi, he is an optimist in his view of man and of the natural world. His cosmology is characterized by cosmic love that embraces all men, born as they are of heaven and earth. Man's indebtedness to nature is limitless, and for him the Confucian virtue of jen, "humaneness," comes close to


being a religious benevolence, first toward nature and then toward men. His practical bent, however, makes it difficult to clarify his position, which seems to be one of eclectic doubt rather than critical inquiry. In administrative matters Kaibara opposed imitating Chinese ways; rather he was an ardent patriot, loyal in support of the emperor.

Kaibara Ekken (1630–1714). A Japanese Confucian scholar of the early to mid-Tokugawa period. As an advocate of ‘practical learning’ (jitsugaku), Kaibara wrote many popular works encompassing a wide range of interests: philosophy, moral education, health and diet, and the natural sciences. Although originally a follower of the orthodox Chu Hsi school of Neo-Confucianism, he established his own independent, critical position, often compared to the school of Ancient Learning (Kokugaku). For example, in his major work, the Taigiroku (Record of Grave Doubts), Kaibara attacks Chu Hsi's

KAIBARA EKKEN

KAIBARA EKKEN (1630–1714) was a Japanese Neo-Confucian scholar. Ekken was born in Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu in southern Japan. Although he was the son of a samurai family, he had early contacts with townspeople and farmers of the province. This no doubt influenced his later decision to write in simplified Japanese in order to make Confucian teachings available to a wide audience. His father taught him medicine and nutrition, awakening a lifelong interest in matters of health that would culminate in the composition of his well-known book Yōjōkun (Precepts for Health Care), completed in 1713. It was his older brother Sonzai, however, who urged Ekken to abandon his early interest in Buddhism and to immerse himself in theConfucian classics. Under Sonzai's tutelage, Ekken became well versed in the classics and in the Neo-Confucian writings of Zhu Xi. During a seven-year stay in Kyoto under the patronage of the lord of the Kuroda domain, he came into contact with the leading Confucian scholars of his time, including Nakamura Tekisai, Kinoshita Jun'an, the botanist Mukai Gensho, and the agronomist Miyazaki Yasusada. These contacts continued throughout his life by virtue of Ekken's numerous trips to Kyoto and Edo. Ekken's tasks as a Confucian scholar included lecturing to the lord of the Kuroda domain and tutoring his heir. In addition, he was commissioned to produce lineage of the Kuroda family that required some sixteen years of research and writing. He also recorded the topography of Chikuzen Province, in a


work that is still considered a model of its kind. Ekken's other major research project, entitled Yamato honzō, consisted of a classification and description of the various types of plants in Japan. It has been praised by Japanese and Western scholars alike as a seminal work in the history of botany in Japan.

Ekken's enduring interest, however, was the popularization of Confucian ethics and methods of self-cultivation for a wide audience. Accordingly, he wrote a number of kunmono, instructional treatises for various groups such as the samurai, the lord, the family, women, and children. His work Onna Daigaku (Learning for Women) is especially well known. In addition, he wrote on methods of study, on literature, on writing, on precepts for daily life, and on the five Confucian virtues. Althougha devoted follower of Zhu Xi, toward the end of his life he wrote Taigiroku, a work that records his "great doubts" about Zhu's dualism of Principle (li ) and material force (qi ). Ekken's ideas were influenced by the thought of the Ming scholar Luo Qinshun (1416–1547), who had articulated a monistic theory of qi. Ekken felt that the dynamic quality of Confucianism had been lost by certain Song and Ming thinkers, and he hoped through the monist theory of qi to reformulate a naturalism and vitalism that he, like Luo, viewed as essential to Confucian thought. Consequently, Ekken was concerned to articulate the vital impulse of the material force that suffused all reality. His thought can thus be described as a naturalist religiosity rooted in profound


reverence and gratitude toward Heaven as the source of life and earth as the sustainer of life. He felt that by recognizing one's debt to these "great parents," human beings activated a cosmic filiality toward all living things. This idea of filiality implied that one should preserve nature, not destroy it. The highest form of filiality was humaneness (jin ), through which humans formed an identity with all things. Ekken, then, was a reformed Zhu Xi scholar whose broad interests, voluminous writings, and naturalist religiosity mark a high point in Japanese Neo-Confucian thought.

What scared you the most growing up as a child? When I was a child, the highlight of the week was watching TV at weekends – there was wrestling on a Saturday afternoon and a movie on Sunday afternoons- usually a black and white film about World War 2 or a Western. One of the scariest films I ever remember watching still haunts me. It was called Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Made in 1956, Don Seigel adapted the screenplay from Jack Finney’s 1954 novel The Body Snatchers. The story depicts an extraterrestrial invasion of a small town in California. The invaders replace human beings with clones that appear identical to real people but are actually devoid of any emotion or individuality. A

Rahab risked her life to rescue the Hebrew spies. She further risked her life to share the good news with her family in order to save them too. She had very little information to go on but she was convinced they were sent by God and she acted to do his will.

Billy Graham had this to say about faith and works: “There really is no conflict between faith and works. In the Christian life they go together like inhaling and exhaling.

This is a diversity action to quiet title to an oil and gas leasehold estate on a tract of land located in Beaver County Oklahoma, and referred to as the Alkire tract.  The appeal is from the order and judgment of the court below quieting appellees' title to such oil and gas leasehold estate and perpetually enjoining appellants from asserting or claiming any right, title or interest therein.

2
The material and undisputed facts, as disclosed by the record, are as follows:

3
On November 29, 1954, the owners (Defendants-appellees Leota L. Alkire, Zella M. Boyle and Charles Boyle) of the tract of land in question executed and delivered to The Pure Oil Company (hereafter after referred to as Pure Oil)


particular area is the Morrow Sand formation.  This tract was unitized with the remainder of the section in which it is located for the production of natural gas from the Morrow Sand.

7
In June, 1959, Pure Oil entered into a farmout agreement with the appellant, Statex Petroleum (hereafter referred to as Statex), under the terms of which Statex was entitled to an assignment of the November 29, 1954, lease on the Alkire tract upon the drilling of a Morrow Sand gas well in the unit.  Thereafter, Statex entered into an operating agreement with Cabot Carbon Company (hereafter referred to as Cabot), the owner of the oil and gas leases on the remaining acreage in the section unit, under which Cabot became the 'Operator' of such unit. On that same date, a test well for oil and gas was commenced on land in the section unit other than the Alkire Tract and was completed on July 22, 1959.  The completed well, referred to as the 'Barby well,' was capable of producing natural gas in commercial quantities from the Morrow Sand formation.  Upon its completion, the well was shut in and remained shut in until it was connected and commenced delivery of gas to the pipeline of Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company on May 23, 1960.

8
After the well was completed, Pure Oil proceeded to assign the November 29, 1954, lease to Statex and it, in turn, assigned certain undivided interests therein to the appellants, Cosden Petroleum Corporation and Caldarko Gas Company, a limited partnership.

9
The Barby


well produced a total of 30,418 m.c.f. of gas from May, 1960, to September, 1960, with production generally decreasing throughout that period of time as a result of water intrusion which developed and came from the pay zone in the Morrow Sand.  The Barby well ceased to produce on September 15, 1960.  Work-over or remedial operations on the well were commenced on September 19, 1960, which were unsuccessful and production was not restored.  On October 24, 1960, all such operations ceased.  Cabot's work-over report showed the following notation as having been made on October 24, 1960: 'Shut down.  Released pulling unit > 4:00 p.m.'  According to the expert testimony, with the release of the pulling unit the workover was completed, the operationwas concluded and 'that is the normal final entry into the well completion record, 'released tools."

10
During the week following October 24, several meeting were had in which representatives of appellants and Cabot discussed the possibilities of 'whipstocking' or a 'major fracking operation' in the Barby well in an effort to restore production but determined that no further operations should be attempted on the well.  By about November 2, 1960, appellants and Cabot had dicided that a new well should be drilled in the approximate center of the section unit and that the owners of the leases involved should not undertake the expense of drilling such well but a farmout arrangement should be attempted.

11
However, about this same time Cabot's attorneys pointed out to Statex that the November 29,


1954, lease did not have a clause permitting the resumption of drilling operations for a new well within 60 days after loss of production in the Barby well and discussed with Statex's representatives the necessity of obtaining an extension or ratification of such lease before making arrangements for the drilling of a new well.  Cabot's leases did contain such a 60-day clause and it was necessary for the new well to be commenced by November 15, 1960, to come within this 60-day period.

12
On November 7, 1960, Dawson, a land man for Statex, telephoned to an agent of the owners of the Alkire tract concerning a ratification of the lease in connection with the drilling of the new well.  On November 8, he wrote a letter tothe agent enclosing a 'ratification of and amendment to the oil and gas lease,' and requested that such instrument be executed by the owners and returned to Statex.

13
On November 11, 1960, Dawson wrote a memorandum to the other appellants referring to a 'tentative farmout agreement' with Crest Exploration Company and stated:

14
'Inasmuch as our Alkire lease covering the west half of the west half of said Section contained no provision for the drilling of a new well subsequent to the expiration of the primary term of the lease, and since Crest proposes to drill a completely new well, our farmout arrangements with them may be contingent upon our ability to secure a lease ratification from the Alkires.  Crest is presently exploring the rights of the lessee to drill


lease or assert any rights contrary to such lease until this action was commenced on March 10, 1961.

18
In the meantime, and on November 14, 1960, Petroleum joined in the drilling of a new well under its lease at approximately the same location previously considered by Statex and Cabot.  This well, known as the 'Eisner well,' was completed on December 21, 1960, and production in commercial quantities achieved from the same Morrow Sand formation.

19
Upon these facts, the trial court found against appellants on all controverted issues and concluded the November 29, 1954, lease to Pure Oil had been construed and interpreted by the parties thereto as not entitling appellants to commence additional drilling operations on the section unit after abandonment of the Barby well, and that:
