In response to the growing incidence of cancer in Malawi, a new oncology unit was established at the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre. The unit opened in 2010, the first in the country, and is led by a single consultant oncologist. In 2012, a healthcare partnership was formed between the oncology and palliative care unit at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and the Edinburgh Cancer Centre, UK. The principal objective of the partnership is to help develop high quality multidisciplinary cancer care in Malawi. Methods A needs assessment identified three priority areas for further improvement of cancer services: nurse-led treatment delivery; management of clinical data; and multidisciplinary working. The partnership received grant funding from the Scottish

I. BACKGROUND
Commerce issued the final results of the third administrative review in July 2003 ("Final Results"). Certain Preserved Mushrooms From the People's Republic of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of the New Shipper Review and Final Results and Partial Rescission of the Third Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 68 Fed.Reg. 41,304 (July 11, 2003) ("Final Results'). Plaintiffs Gerber Food (Yunnan) Co., Ltd. ("Gerber"), a Chinese producer of preserved mushrooms, and Green Fresh (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd. ("Green Fresh"), a Chinese exporter, contested the Final Results in an action brought in the Court of International Trade in August 2003. That action culminated in the court's decision in Gerber I, which remanded the matter back to the agency for reconsideration and redetermination. See Gerber I, 29 CIT at ___, 387 F.Supp.2dentered into an agreement under which Green Fresh was to provide services in arranging for export shipments of Gerber's mushrooms, "Gerber in fact arranged shipment of all of its sales of subject merchandise and paid Green Fresh a fee to use Green *1331 Fresh's sales invoices for this purpose in order to take advantage of Green Fresh's comparatively low cash deposit rate during the POR. . . ." Id. at 41,306. Commerce concluded that as a result of the parties' misrepresentations in their questionnaire responses and the circumvention of cash deposit requirements, all of the information submitted by the two parties during the administrative review that was required for the calculation of individual antidumping duty assessment rates was unreliable and could not be verified. Id. at 41,306-07. In


addition, Commerce invoked its authority under 19 U.S.C. § 1677e to deter circumvention of the antidumping laws. Id. at 41,307. Based on its various findings, Commerce, in the Final Results, assigned both Gerber and Green Fresh the 198.63 percent assessment rate, which corresponded to the highest rate assigned to any party in the third administrative review and the rate that Commerce assigned to parties that had failed to establish independence from control of the government of the PRC. Id. at 41,309.
The Final Results departed from the approach Commerce had taken in the preliminary results of the third administrative review, which Commerce had issued in March 2003 ("Preliminary Results"). See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from the People's Republic of China: Prelim. Results and Partial Rescission of Fourth New Shipper Reviewanother company in the respondent's country was ultimately shipped to the United States. Gerber responded, stating that
Gerber transacted some sales during the period of review through an agent[,] Green Fresh, who was paid a commission for its services. For those sales transacted through Green Fresh, Gerber negotiated the price with the U.S. customer and at all times was aware that the product was destined for the United States. Green Fresh acted as the exporter of record, however.
Gerber Section A Resp. at A11-A12 (May 23, 2002) (Confidential Admin. R. Doc. No. 2); see Redetermination at 9. Because Green Fresh was not a reseller of Gerber's merchandise, Gerber's response was unnecessary. It was also misleading. Gerber did not sell to Green Fresh any merchandise involved in the review, and during


false. The record establishes, and neither plaintiff contests, that Green Fresh never took title or possession of any of the Gerber-produced merchandise involved in the review, had no role in the sale of the merchandise, and did not arrange for the transport of the merchandise from China to the United States. The statement by Gerber that Green Fresh exported the product to the United States was not qualified elsewhere in Gerber's first supplemental response. The unqualified statement is perplexing when read together with Gerber's subsequent questionnaire responses.
Commerce again sought clarification in a second supplemental questionnaire: "Please define and discuss the role Green Fresh played when it acted as an agent in the sale of Gerber merchandise. When did Green Fresh begin acting as an agent in the saleat issue were unsatisfactory in one respect or another in providing Commerce with the actual facts concerning the identity of the exporter and seller for certain of the sales transactions of subject merchandise. The Department's questions throughout the series of supplemental questionnaires to both parties indicate that Commerce misinterpreted, quite reasonably, the initial responses of Gerber *1343 and Green Fresh so as to presume that Green Fresh actually exported some of the merchandise produced by Gerber and that Green Fresh had some role in the sale of Gerber's merchandise. Neither party confined their inadequate responses to the initial questionnaires. Each party had the opportunity, in responding to the inquiries in the first supplemental questionnaires, to clarify that Gerber never provided Green Fresh with subject merchandise during the review,


that Green Fresh did not export any of Gerber's product to the United States, and that Green Fresh never took title to, or had any other role in, the sale of Gerber's merchandise. Neither party did so. Instead, both Gerber and Green Fresh provided confusing and contradictory information in response to the first supplemental questionnaire. The record consisting of the questionnaires and the responses, when viewed as a whole, supports a finding that Commerce was caused by the deficient responses to direct significant time and resources to acquire information that the parties were obligated by statute and regulation to disclose at a much earlier point in the process.
B. The Department's Determination that Each Plaintiff Failed to Cooperate by Not Acting to the Best of Its Ability to ComplyCommerce provided Gerber with the opportunity, as required under § 1677m(d), to remedy inaccurate, confusing, or otherwise deficient information. While Gerber, in its third supplemental response, provided a more accurate and comprehensive account regarding the execution of the twenty-four transactions at issue, even that response stated that Green Fresh would "amend[] its sales listing to reflect a total of 24 sales made on behalf of Gerber[.]" Gerber Third Supplemental Resp. at 2 (Dec. 23, 2002) (Confidential Admin. R. Doc. No. 42). Throughout the administrative review, from the initial Section A response to the third supplemental response, Gerber provided confusing, incomplete, and inaccurate responses.
With respect to Green Fresh, substantial record evidence also supports the Department's finding that Green Fresh did not act to the best of its ability to


constitute evidence supporting the Department's finding that it was appropriate to assign all, or any, of the twenty-four transactions to Green Fresh.
As Commerce found according to the record evidence, Gerber was the importer of record for the merchandise on all twenty-four transactions and therefore was responsible for preparing all entry documentation submitted to Customs, including the listing of the manufacturer code. See id. at 29-30. The entry documentation prepared by Gerber identifies Green Fresh as the manufacturer for only twelve of the twenty-two entries. See Green Fresh First Supplemental Resp., Ex. AS1 (Aug. 19, 2002) (Confidential Admin. R. Doc. No. 21). The evidence cited by Commerce links to Gerber, the importer of record, the act of setting forth Green Fresh as the exporter for all twenty-two entries, butRank : 0View : 4209Biography : Bijou Phillips is the progeny of none other than late Mamas and Papas founding member John Phillips, so it comes as no surprise that she's a rather free spirit. By the age of thirteen that babe had given up on school in favour of a career as a model. In keeping with her genes, Beej is also a singer and titled her first album I'd Rather Eat Glass in reference to a rumor about the prospect of her returning to modeling. In 2000 Bijou took a go at acting with a role in Dark and White, which was filmed in undressed color and marked her First time flashing hootage onscreen, in a bi sexual 3some out in the woods, no less. Although


Bijou's Dark girl-on-girl smooch was as steamy as one could imagine, the film paled in comparison, by sheer skinful standards, at least, to her turn in Bully (2001). Bijou left absolutely nothing to the imagination in the flick, so don't back down from the title: stand tall and see Bijou's all. Bijou's yen for skin have to rub off on these around her, as she stood in nature's garb beside Disney princess Anne Hathaway as that babe fell to the skin side in Havoc (2005). If that is the case, Bijou should star in each movie!Todd Selby

Over 180 people were detained[1] due to clashes that broke out between rival Russian and Polish football fans in Warsaw on June 12. Unrest started during the march organised to mark the Russian National Day, attended by thousands of visiting Russian fans ahead of the Poland-Russia Euro 2012 game at the National Stadium.

Concern about possible tensions had been expressed by several newspapers and public figures prior to the march, given the troubled history of the two countries. Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz[2], the Mayor of Warsaw, recognised the problem, but stated that “the Russian fans’ delegation promised that there wouldn't be any political exclamations on their part.”

Gronkiewicz-Waltz called the day of the march “the main challenge for the city during the Euro 2012 championship.”

The last two weeks have been crazy, with the team announcement, health scares and plenty of media hype. After returning from China, we had a week at home in which we were finally going to find out who would make the cut for the Games. Although it was supposed to a restful week it was difficult to be restful when you are waiting for you future to be decided by a phone call.

Only three long days before the team was finally announced and although we had to wait a couple of days for everything to be official. It was very exciting to let friends and family know that the team was finally announced and they could openly plan their trips overseas. A few days of


last week before flying off for our final leg. With a quick day trip to Melbourne for the National League Tigers Dinner and a quick catch up with some of the girls, coaches and club members. To top it all off a fantastic breakfast at the South Melbourne restaurant Chez Dre.

Yumm... the french toast is fantastic!

Headed back to Brisbane to unpack, wash and repack for the tour to Montenegro and Italy before arriving in London. Was able to catch up with a friend for her 26th Birthday. Happy Birthday Rach!!! As well as my sisters boyfriend's 30th. Happy Birthday Dan! With my little sister leaving for New York today, my brother Tom and his girlfriend Jill leaving for Hong Kong on Monday and my other brother Hamish headingoverseas on Tuesday. Before they all meet up together in Paris, then head to London.

So for now I am going to enjoy some quite time at home while getting ready for the next tour and of course training.

Saturday, 9 June 2012

Finally home from the mammoth 6 week tour, 1 week of national league finals and then 5 weeks overseas, with stops in London, Tokyo and Shanghai. It has been a very busy time, plus with selection hanging over our heads every training session, every game is that much more important as it has the potential to decide our Olympic future. The World League had a mix bag of games, with four teams sending development teams while the other 4 have close to their Olympic line up.

Christian Hackenberg apparently blundered during interviews with NFL teams in advance of next month's draft.

By telling the truth.

As a freshman at Penn State, the quarterback completed 58.9 percent of his passes, throwing for 20 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions. Some pegged him as an eventual No. 1 overall selection.

After that season however, Bill O'Brien left to go coach the NFL's Houston Texans. James Franklin took over with an offense that has traditionally skewed more to the spread than O'Brien's pro-style.

Hackenberg's numbers dropped to 12 TDs and 15 picks as a sophomore, only to rebound to 16 TDs, six interceptions as a junior. He isn't viewed as a great prospect anymore and is unlikely to be taken in the first round, let alone at the top of it.

View photoseven after the school was hammered by NCAA sanctions following the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Crippling scholarship reductions meant he'd play in State College with few fellow playmakers and a thin offensive line. In purely football terms, the smart move was to run the other way. Hackenberg didn't care. He signed anyway. He was hailed for keeping his promise to Penn State.

Enoh Meyomesse, a Cameroonian writer and blogger [fr] was arrested on November 22, 2011, at Nsimalen airport in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on his way back from Singapore. Charged with robbery by the military court of Bertoua, in the east of the country, he is now detained at Nkondengui prison in Yaoundé, where Amnesty International has documented severe over-crowding and life-threatening conditions.

Meyomesse's arrest has sparked many reactions among the Cameroonian online community.

Enoh Meyomesse and his alleged accomplices – Military Tribunal of Bertoua – From Patrica Nganang Public Facebook profile

The illustrious critic of the terror machine of the Biya regime, is now the victim of a plot worthy of the darkest Stalinist years, he stands accused of “aggravated robbery and possession of weapons of combat.” It is with this charge, inventedalmost all authorities in the town of Bertoua were present. Citizens, journalists, photographers were also there. Handcuffed, they gave each of us papers on which they had written down our name, age and the alleged reason for our arrest. (…) It was after this spectacle we were transferred to Yaoundé. On Thursday, December 22, 2011, we were appeared briefly before the military court which decided to detain us at the Central Prison of Kondengui.

The Cameroonian Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, commented [fr] on the affair during a press conference in December. According to the Cameroon Tribune, the minister claimed Enoh Meyomesse was named by alleged accomplices in an armed robbery at a mine in November:

the City had constructive notice by virtue of the

fact that, at the time of the accident, the City’s Public Works Department had approximately

60 people “out and about on the streets of Gallatin”. However, Ms. Knight herself testified

that the area she stepped in just looked wet and she could see nothing other than the

water.

         In response to the City’s motion for summary judgment, Ms. Knight presented the

affidavit of Mr. Barry Lynn Newberry who states that he regularly travels the area in front

of the car wash and has observed water running across the sidewalk on a regular basis.

He further stated that he noticed a green fungus type slime build-up on the sidewalk “at

least three years ago.” Ms. Knight fell on June 27,1995 and Mr. Newberry’s affidavit is

dated February 11, 1997. Interestingly, Mr. Newberry’s affidavit also states that, when he

observed the fungus and slime build-up, it was open and obvious to him. Plaintiff also

presented the affidavit of Ms. Kayron McGrew who stated that she worked in the vicinity

of the fall; had periodically observed water flowing across the sidewalk since she began

working in the area in July 1992 and had never observed anyone cleaning the sidewalk.

This was apparently an attempt to rebut the testimony of the owner of the car wash, Mr.

Herman Taylor, that he generally cleaned the sidewalk area once per week. Although this

creates a factual dispute, it is not material to the issue of whether the City had constructive

notice that slime and algae had built up beneath the water.

there's a difference
between the supply of money in politics
and the demand for money.
Almost everything you read
about money in politics
is about the supply.
It's about the lobbyists,
it's about the fat cats,
it's about the people who spend money
in order to work their way in politics,
and that's why they're supplying it.
Almost nobody talks about the demand side.
Why is there so much desire
for money in American politics?
Much more in American politics
than in many other systems.
And so in the last part of the lecture
I'm gonna come to the demand side.
For most of the lecture I'm
gonna focus on the supply side,
as almost everybody does,
but we should remember
that it's only one piece of the equation.
I'm gonna begin by talking
before I get into the guts
of the money in politics subject
I'm gonna talk more generally
about courts in Americanpolitics
and separate out some
myths from realities.
Many people think that they
idea of an independent judiciary
with powers to review the
constitutionality of legislation
that comes out of the political
branches is a great thing.
If you look at the third and fourth waves
of democracy around the world,
which I'm gonna be
talking about on Thursday,
the idea of a separation of
powers is a big American export.
It's often the feature
of the US Constitution
that is most often copied in
constitutions around the world.
So I'm gonna start out
by spending some time
on myths and realities
about the role of courts
in American politics and more generally.
Then we'll go into the
history of the First Amendment
since the 1970s sixth
decision, Buckley v. Valeo,
where the modern world of money and speech
really gets started.
I'll pay some attention to
the changing media context
that all of this is going
on in as we've


evolved
from the world I was
describing in the last lecture,
the world in which everybody watched
the same evening news at 6:30
to the world of Twitter and blogging
and people getting most of their news
from places like Facebook.
And then we will conclude by
attending to the demand side,
the much-neglected demand side,
which will become an important
feature of my argument
later in the course.
So let's talk about courts
in American politics,
as my subtitle here is
"Myths and Realities."
This is a picture of the Warren Court.
And I put the Warren Court up there
for a very particular reason,
which is that the Warren Court
was a massive outlier in American history.
It was a massive outlier
because it was an extremely progressive,
to use the term that liberalism
has been reinvented as
in the last decade or so.
Possibly the most progressive
Court in American history.
And it was remarkable,first and foremost,
because Earl Warren, who was appointed by
President Eisenhower in 1953,
Eisenhower called it
"the worst damned-fool
mistake I ever made."
He had been a conservative governor,
a Republican governor of California.
He had been responsible for the internment
of Japanese prisoners during World War II.
He didn't have any signs
that he was gonna be a
much different person
than he turned out to be on the Court,
and so he presided over this
era known as the Warren Court.
And as you can see, actually,
interesting, if you go down to
the bottom of the slide there
you can see another one that Eisenhower
pretty much got wrong.
The Eisenhower appointees
are in blue there.
William Brennan also turned out
to be a very liberal justice
and didn't make Eisenhower very happy.
But you can see that there
were four holdovers in beige
appointed by FDR,
and so it turned out to


on the basis
of what came to be used
for proxies of race,
like poll, taxes, or
literacy requirements,
or the other instruments
that were there wheeled out
across the American South
to disenfranchise blacks.
The same year, they
adopted US v. Cruikshank,
which said that the Bill of Rights
does not apply to private
actors or state governments.
Again, limiting the Civil War amendments
in their range and force.
The Civil Rights Cases
the following decade
said that the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Amendments
didn't apply to private individuals.
Lochner v. New York in the
early part of this century
became emblematic of the
Court that would strike down
much new deal legislation
in subsequent decades,
eventually leading to FDR's
attempt to pack the Court,
which blew up in his face
as they were striking down
so much new deal legislation.
But in fact the Court, even though FDR,
which he had threatened to
appoint five new justices
and produced a lot ofSpeech Clause of the First Amendment
as it pertains to money in politics.
So the background to this is in 1974,
when Congress had enacted
very radical changes
to the Federal Election Campaign of 1971.
They did this over Gerald Ford's veto
and it was the first comprehensive effort
by the federal government to regulate
campaign contributions and spending.
Money was starting to become
a really important issue
in American politics
and they felt the need
to do something about it.
I would just note and
pick up this point later,
this is the period at which
American political parties
were starting to become weaker.
And I think there's an
important connection
between weak parties
and the need on the part
of politicians for money
that I'm going to spend
more time on later.
So the key provisions of
the 1974 legislation were
to limit contributions to
candidates for federal office,
limit how much can be given to campaigns.
It


stop corporations from
making independent expenditures
to support candidates on the grounds
that "corporate wealth can
unduly influence elections."
So they were saying corporations
are not protected in the same way at least
as individuals by the Speech
Clause of the First Amendment.
They don't have the same
First Amendment rights.
And then, in that case,
the government interest
in the conduct of elections
and not in leveling the
playing field, if you'd like,
not having undo corporate interest trumps.
The reason I'm putting
the Michigan case there
is because that was what
was overruled in 2010
in Citizens United.
Citizens United was
founded by Floyd Brown,
a DC political consultant, in 1988.
And it was an organization, you
can see here its big motive.
It's "an organization dedicated
"to restoring our government
to citizens' control.
"Through a combination of education,
"advocacy, and grassroots organization,
"Citizens United seeks to reassert
"the traditional American
values of limited government,
"freedom of enterprise, strong families,
"and nationalsovereignty and security.
"Citizens United's goal is to restore
"the Founding Fathers'
vision of a free nation
"guided by the honesty, common sense,
"and good will of its citizens."
So American as apple pie.
So what was at issue in this case
is that they have planned
to advertise a film
that was essentially an anti
Hilary Clinton commercial
shortly before the 2008
Democratic primaries
when she was still running
for the nomination.
And at that time, federal law
had prohibited corporations
and unions from making what they called
"electioneering communications"
30 days prior to an election, the primary,
or 60 days prior to an election,
or it's making any expenditures
advocating the election
or defeat of a candidate at any time.
So there was some limit on the content
and some limit on the timing,
and the argument had been that
under the then prevailing Michigan law
that these were the kinds of constraints
that had been


A grant announcement by the Department of Homeland Security eliminated funding for the Chicago-based Life After Hate, which was initially awarded the money in January during the closing days of the Obama administration.

Life After Hate, run by a former skinhead, is among a handful of domestic programs dedicated to helping people leave white power groups including neo-Nazi organizations and the Ku Klux Klan, and it was the only one of the original grant recipients dedicated solely to combatting white extremism.

The co-founder of Life After Hate, Christian Picciolini, said in an emailed statement, “While it’s disappointing that DHS broke its promise to us by changing the rules to the grant after we’d already won it, it is more alarming that the current administration is refusing to acknowledge that whiteUS President Donald Trump's poll numbers continue to plunge while the popularity of both his predecessor Barack Obama and former Vice President Joe Biden, are on the rise.

The website FiveThirtyEight put Mr Trump's approval rating at just 37.1 per cent over the Christmas holiday. Every other President has had a rating at least 10 per cent higher on the 337th day of their first terms, making Mr Trump the most unpopular leader in modern US history at this point of his time in office.

Mr Obama, on the other hand, has seen his approval rating increase by four points to 63 per cent since leaving office in January, according to a Gallup poll.

At 57 per cent in a CNN poll, Mr Biden's popularity is 20 points higher than that


of the current President. The former Vice President's unfavourability rating is at just 27 per cent, nearly ten points lower than in the same CNN poll conducted while he was in office in 2015.

To add insult to injury, Mr Obama's favourability rating in the deeply conservative state of Alabama was at 52 per cent last month, just ahead of Mr Trump's 49 per cent.

That was at the time when the President came out in support of accused child sex abuser and Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, in the race he ultimately lost to Democrat Doug Jones. That particular poll was run by Mr Trump's preferred television viewing - Fox News.

Barack Obama says we must set example with social media use, in Prince Harry interview

The former leaders largely stayedout of Washington politics, at first.

Mr Biden devoted time to furthering cancer cure research and writing a book, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, about the death of his son Beau from a rare form of brain cancer.

Though he said last month in a speech in Chicago that Mr Trump was part of a history of "charlatans" but empathised with his voters. Mr Biden said the President's supporters in the working class “aren’t prejudiced, they’re realistic” about how their lives have become harder and more expensive.

He also said Mr Trump's "America First" foreign policy is "ideological incoherence, inconsistent and erratic decision-making".

Mr Biden, even at 75, is seen by many in Democratic circles as one of few legitimate challengers to Mr Trump's 2020 bid for

iTunes Radio, Apple's music streaming service, will launch next month in the United States, NME reports.
The free internet radio will feature over 200 stations with a large catalogue of music after Apple inked deals with all the major record labels and the service will go ahead Stateside after the brand made sponsorship deals with companies such as McDonald's, Pepsi and Nissan. Users will hear an audio advert every 15 minutes and see a video ad every hour. It was previously announced that the service will launch in the Autumn with that date now specified as being September by industry site AdAge.
They claim that brands such as McDonald's, Pepsi, Nissan andProcter & Gamble have committed to take out advertising campaigns which will range in value from "high single-digit millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars."
It is claimed that iTunes Radio adverts will be opened up to brands who agree to spend at least $1m with Apple from the start of 2014.
iTunes Radio users will be offered the use of personalised radio stations tailored to their own taste as dictated by the music they already listen to on iTunes. Additional stations will be based on genre with others curated by Apple.
"iTunes Radio is an incredible way to listen to personalised radio stations which have been created just for you," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "It's the music you love most

Russia has expressed a strict condemnation of the car bomb attack which took place yesterday in Jaramana suburb of the Damascus countryside in Syria.

The statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry says that there is only one possibility, to condemn such terrorist bombings in all levels. This has not been the first bomb attack against the suburb of Jaramana (Jaramana city) near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Therefore, the keyword “Jaramana Bombing” already exists at search engines and keyword suggestions, due to a very sad reason – the many attacks of the foreign-backed terrorists against the Christians and Druze who represent the main part of the citizens living in Jaramana.

The statement by the Russian Foreign Minister in response to the next “Jaramana Bombing” yesterday, which has caused the


dead of 10 Syrian citizens, while 66 other civilians were wounded, expressed condemnation of the terrorist bombing and also called on all international partners of Russia to take a stance towards such terrorist attacks and other crimes of the terrorist groups in Syria and to forget about their double standards in regards of such crimes by the terrorist forces within Syrian borders.

The car bomb attack in the suburb of Jaramana took place on the al-Siyouf Square in Jaramana city yesterday. According to some sources, the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State Organization in Iraq and Sham claimed responsibility for the car bomb attack in Jaramana city yesterday and has killed 10 Syrian civilians and injured further 66 citizens.

The statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry from today says further that Russia onceagain renews its calls upon all partners at the international arena and upon all the groups of the (so-called) external Syrian opposition to give a principle assessment in terms of all the crimes of the terrorist groups in Syria. It further calls upon all sides that are directly or indirectly involved in the conflict in Syria to avoid all “the double standards policy that would allow international terrorism to achieve its criminal goals” in Syria.

Moscow vehemently condemns this new terrorist attack against Syrian civilians in Jaramana city, near the Syrian capital Damascus. The statement by the Russian Foreign Minister further noted that this car bomb attack “clearly aims for revenge against the Syrian people who reject religious extremism in thinking and practice.”

Syria: Car Bomb Attack in Jaramana near


Damascus 2012

As mentioned already yesterday after the sad next terrorist attack against Syrian civilians in Jaramana, Christians and Druze represent the main part of the citizens in this suburb near the capital, Damascus. In addition, the locals suffer under such terrorists attacks by the foreign-backed militants and jihadists since over a year and longer. The reasons? They oppose such religious fanatics and do not cooperate with the US-backed gunmen.

The statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that the car bomb attack in the suburb of Jaramana is considered an attempt to stoke “denominational tension” in the Syrian society. It further says that these terrorist attacks wilfully adds a sectarian character to all the conflicts in Syria.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also expressed condolences to all the Syrian familiesincluded the following: Selection and detailed description of the field trail site and study population, including a census and determination of sources of medical care, establish a clinical at the study site which will serve as the hub of the clinical research, including surveillance for adverse effects, establish means of transportation between the site and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the tertiary care referral hospital; establish and standardize assays for immunogenicity and virus shedding; and establish facilities for proper storage of vaccines and clinical specimens to enable the trail to be conducted according to good clinical practices.

A staff member at Coast Cafe said customers were calm and that 'a couple of people were complaining of itchy eyes'.

'They've cleared the seafront and we've got the windows closed and are locked in,' she added.

Former windsurfing world champion and Olympian Christine Johnston has run Kite, Surf and Sup Co for six years and was on the beach preparing kitesurfing lessons at 12.15pm when she and her students were told to leave by beach patrol.

Ken Finlayson said he was able to exchange goodbyes “for a few minutes” before his wife, Kimberley Finlayson, who had underlying health conditions, died on the Indonesian island on 11 March.

She had undergone two emergency operations in an Indonesian government hospital before her death. She was one of the first British victims of coronavirus to be named.

Kathleen Wynne takes a day off, but that doesn't mean she's gone quiet

The long weekend is here, but it's no holiday for some of the leaders as they continue to campaign across the province. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is still on her tour of Northern Ontario, with stops in Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. PC Leader Doug Ford is visiting a brewer in Baysville and a beer festival in Huntsville. Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne is taking today off, but her campaign co-chair Deb Matthews spoke to reporters this afternoon at the Liberal party headquarters in Toronto about the 407 data breach.

Glen Archer has apologized for a controversial March 2015 Facebook post about the Ontario Liberal Party and Kathleen Wynne, which said the Liberal leader "should be inthey are fabulous actors, but they seemed bewildered by the response they were seeing at stops along the campaign trail in towns usually considered out of reach for the NDP.

In Kenora and Kiiwetinoong, the NDP are in their element. They've won ridings in northwestern Ontario for decades, by big margins.

And yet, Kenora was the closest to a misstep I've seen for the NDP so far.

The NDP candidate in Kenora Glen Archer is a corrections officer and a rookie politician. He's learning about how past comments can come back to haunt you.

Simmer Sandhu resigned his candidacy after it was revealed that his former employer, 407 ETR, was probing an "internal theft" of data that affected some 60,000 customers. He was quickly replaced with another candidate.

Brampton East was created in 2015 from two others, including Bramalea-Gore-Malton, which was held by former MPP and current federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh until last year.

Singh's younger brother, Gurratan Singh — himself a telegenic lawyer — is running beneath the NDP's banner. It will be an interesting test of the NDP's attempt to cultivate enduring appeal in the riding, which under the elder Singh was the party's sole presence in the suburban GTA.

But it's clear that the Liberals see the riding as a chance to make up ground in the 905that may be lost elsewhere.

The Grits are fielding a candidate with an undeniably high profile in Brampton East's considerable Sikh community. Parminder Singh is an emergency room doctor and the founding host of CBC's former Hockey Night in Canada in Punjabi broadcast.

the late 1990s, the introduction of the internet prompted a massive wave of speculation in dot-com companies. The Nasdaq Composite Index, which listed most of these tech startups, jumped from under 500 at the beginning of the 90s to establish highs over 5,000 in March 2000. The index plunged by 80 percent after that but recovered back by 2015 to set new highs.

The crypto market has crashed similarly after most of its startups failed after raising millions of dollars in over-hyped investments. Bitcoin, as many believe, is the survivor of a market-wide wipe off.

Lou Kerner, a crypto venture capitalist, called bitcoin the Amazon of crypto, stating that the digital currency would survive the crypto bubble burst similarly to how Amazon did after the dot-com crash.

“If you go backThis truly fantastic Internaional trio have been touring since 2007 and have finally released their first CD which certainly doesn't disappoint!!! with really, great tunes, great groove and stunning solos from all!!
featuring Swedish born Greek Jiannis Pavlidlis on guitar, Greek compatriot Giorgos Kontrafouris on organ and the virtuoso legandary American jazz/fusion drummer Adam Nussbaum
The musical approach the trio follows is open with a strong reference on groove.The material is mostly original as well as reworked standards with a new twist, and with refreshingly quirky arrangements.
During the last tour (March 2011) the trio decided to record this, their first album, a decision made due to the natural chemistry between the three musicians.Good job they did , its terrific!!

Green Party’s Undemocratic Processes

Category

As the Green Party of England and Wales gathers in Nottingham for it Spring Conference featuring the 40th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party, one person who will be not attending this event is Mark France.

Mark a longstanding Labour Movement and Socialist Activist who joined the Green Party in June 2010 was Expelled by a decision of the Green Party Regional Council at a meeting held on the Weekend of 2nd/3rd February 2012.

Mark was never given any clear indication of what charges were laid against him or provided with any evidence or documentation relating to these charges. Mark was not able to provide any defence. There was no hearing in which Mark was able to participate in nor was he able tothe movement a sense of social solidarity and mutual respect allowed a plurality of views to flourish without unity in struggle becoming compromised.

One of the great tragedies of recent decades has been the collapse of social solidarity and the destruction of this old radical democratic tradition. Many Trade Union and Labour Party members, activists in various campaigns and left organisations can recount tails of undemocratic behaviour, the formation dominant cliques, the frequent use of bureaucratic manoeuvring to stifle debate or worse hide under the carpet uncomfortable truths.

Sometimes it is a hard pill to swallow but much of the left is riven with forms of behaviour which mimic the worst excesses of power struggles in wider capitalist society. Our organisations and our culture is polluted by various forms of

Proletarians in the town were allowed to have their ‘Labour Party’ as a lap dog opposition so long as they stayed on their reservations kept their heads down and tugged their forlocks when the local squirearchy demanded a show of subservience…. You have to remember that very dogy organisations like the Midlands Industrial Council and the Consultancy Group that had their origins in the Economic League and those planning a military coup against Wilson were based in this area.
The Court Leet and the Tories were a particularly nasty bunch of feudal overloads in this neck of the woods and via a variety of mechanism their control of local housingthe GPRC’s co-chairs turned up at the meeting, nor did they produce a report to Conference. According to the Green Left forum, her expulsion was due to tweeting critically on the jag-driving Welsh GP leader, as on the blog http://pippabartalotti.blogspot.co.uk/
It looks like an unaccountable clique misusing power to expel critics.

case – I did offer to advocate (he is in West Midlands Green Left) for Mark and make representations on his behalf (others in the party have as well) and in my case using my experience and knowledge of best practice to ensure his rights – but only with the understanding for a limited time that Mark refrain from making public statements on the case until evidence had been gathered and representations had been made.

Aerosmith brings it back to the 70s with strong performance

When the lights went down at the Marcus Amphitheater just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday night on Day 10 of Summerfest, the two large video screens that lit up – including a circular screen designed to hypnotize – predicted a futuristic, or at least current, show.

A robotic voice narrated for two minutes over a collage of images racing across the large back screen, working the crowd up for the appearance of headliner Aerosmith – which promptly took the 20,000 or so fans back to the 1970s and early 1980s.

Currently touring in advance of a new record set to be released in the fall, the Boston-based rockers have featured a set list straight designed for those who became fans of theband three or four decades ago. That said, the band took enough breaks in the action to prove to the crowd that they are, indeed, four decades into a career.

Playing 16 full songs in just under two hours, Aerosmith reached back to play 1970s releases "Draw The Line" (1977), "S.O.S. (Too Bad)" (1974), "Last Child," (1976), "Lord Of The Thighs" (1974), "Combination" (1976) and "No More No More" (1976).

Of the group, only "Last Child" could be considered a crowd favorite.

Perhaps the reason for the set choice – which has been consistent all tour – is that the group's new record is being hailed as a return to its rock roots. To that end, new tracks "Oh Yeah" and "Legendary Child" fit in seamlessly. And, the band didn't introduce


them – so much of the crowd was left wondering what they were, like many of those 1970s deep cuts.

Favorites that were played included "Jaded," which was really well received, "Sweet Emotion,""Love In An Elevator," "Livin' On The Edge" and "Walk This Way."

The songs were spaced out with solo's for every band member, but Joey Kramer's has been on the set list all tour long – and for good reason. He worked through his entire, impressive repertoire, and was joined by Tyler for what seemed like a memorable finish; at least until Kramer tossed his sticks into the crowd and capped the performance with his right fist, the back of his left hand, and bass accents played with his head. Yes, his head.

The other solo's were a littletired however, and brought the crowd down quite a bit. One Joe Perry feature gets the crowd going. A second, not so much. A third and a fourth? Eh. And when bassist Tom Hamilton was inevitably introduced for his spotlighted walk down the platform, one fan yelled "C'mon!" in exasperation.

While the breaks were long and perhaps prevented the band from playing more hits ("Falling In Love Is Hard On The Knees," "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," and "Cryin'" have been played on other tour stops), the crowd benefited from a fresh Steven Tyler.

The eccentric front man was on his game, holding his screams and hitting the high notes on each song with strength. I'm sure many wondered what condition his voice would be in, or he would


act strangely or forget some words, but he was vintage Tyler vocally.

He no longer moves like he used to (perhaps due to that stage fall a few years ago) he kept his energy up by working the long platform that jutted out from the stage and moving between his band mates.

The platform also allowed more fans a "front row" experience, which Tyler took advantage of my making out with several female fans during breaks in the vocals. Yes, making out.

Because the set list didn't feature many fan favorites, their performance of "Dream On" to open their two-song encore brought on thunderous applause. Tyler did not disappoint, either, beginning the song behind a white piano at the end of the platform.

His vocals were impeccable, and then Perry added tothe theater by climbing a set of stairs atop the piano for a few chords. Once Perry climbed down, Tyler went up for the climatic final words – hitting the notes just right as two fountains of smoke bordered he and Perry.

The group then ended on with their cover of "Train Kept Rollin'" a crowd favorite that ended the night on a high note.

On balance, Aerosmith performed at a high level, both musically and vocally. Perry was brilliant – as you would expect – as were Kramer, Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford.

At this stage in their careers, Tyler will always be the wildcard, but he brought it Saturday night. The constant (and lengthy) solo's and long instrumental play outs got a little annoying, but if the result is


To the 80 students who shaved their heads, it was just hair, but to 9-year-old Marlee Pack, it's her life.

After being diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that develops from connective tissues in the body, a year ago, Marlee was finally returning to Meridian Elementary School in Broomfield, Colorado.

In an effort to support her best friend, Cameron McLaughlin decided to donate a portion of her long, curly locks, but didn't feel like that was enough — she wanted to shave her entire head.

[Unequal breast-nourishment as pretended cause of differences of features at twin-brothers (author's transl)].
A theological polemical treatise of 1709, as a source for the general history and this history of civilization and especially of ethics, is exploited to declare some scientifical matters of fact. The conception, developed by the author by reason of the different behaviour of twins as adults, the nourishment assimilated in earliest youth would decide the future of man, is analyzed and compared with the modern state of knowledge of the twin-research. On the confrontation of the notions "nature" and "nurture", which can be traced back to Shakespeare, in Galton, the originator of the twin-research, is referred to.and Jefferson retrieved his SKS assault rifle from outside of the bedroom. The State contends that Jefferson loaded one round into the chamber of the rifle and placed it beside the bed as the argument continued. Jefferson maintains that he did not load the rifle at that time. He pushed Felicia down on the bed and physically assaulted her with his fist, causing facial cuts.
¶ 8 Jefferson then placed the barrel of the rifle against Felicia's head and threatened to kill her. He left the bedroom and returned with their nine-year-old son. The State alleges that he also made threats against Felicia and their son at that time. Jefferson's mood changed and he became apologetic. He ceased the attack and placed the barrel of the rifle against his


own head and asked Felicia to kill him. Jefferson claims that he loaded one bullet in the chamber just before placing the rifle against his head. At this point Felicia fled from the room with the rifle and her son and went next door to her mother's home.
¶ 9 Later that morning, Felicia went to the hospital where she received stitches for her lacerations. However, she did not report the incident to the police until May 21, 1998, because she was afraid Jefferson would kill her if she did so. Jefferson had approximately seven months of probation to serve for a prior federal conviction.
¶ 10 On May 26, 1998, Jefferson was charged by Information with attempted deliberate homicide and entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment. TheDistrict Court set his bond at $150,000. The United States filed a petition to revoke Jefferson's probation for violating the terms of his probation. Release on bond was not provided for in that proceeding.
¶ 11 Trial was scheduled for September 28, 1998. Although neither party filed for a continuance, and Jefferson did not waive his right to a speedy trial, a trial was not held on that date. The delay occurred because the State's evidence against Jefferson had not been returned from the Montana Crime Lab. On December 15, 1998, 203 days after charges were filed, Jefferson filed a motion to dismiss the charges against him for lack of a speedy trial. Jefferson alleged that he had been prejudiced, his relations with his new wife had been impaired,


and he lost his job as a result of the delay.
¶ 12 The District Court rescheduled his trial for February 8, 1999. On that day, Jefferson entered a plea agreement in which he agreed to plead guilty to one count of felony assault in exchange for the State's promise to request a 20 year sentence, to request that the United States withdraw its petition to revoke Jefferson's probation, and not to request persistent felony status in the District Court. The State amended the Information from attempted deliberate homicide to felony assault pursuant to the agreement. However, at Jefferson's request, the District Court granted a continuance pending resolution of his motion to dismiss.
¶ 13 On February 23, 1999, Jefferson informed Judge Russell Fagg, by letter, that he had enteredthe plea agreement based upon inadequate advice from his counsel. Consequently, he wished to withdraw his guilty plea and exercise his constitutional right to a trial by jury.
¶ 14 On April 30, 1999, the District Court concluded that Jefferson had not been prejudiced *644 by the delay of his trial and denied his motion to dismiss. On July 1, 1999, the State requested leave to amend the Information to the original charge of attempted deliberate homicide and requested a trial date. A trial by jury was scheduled for July 12, 1999. On the morning of trial, the State amended the Information to the original charge of attempted deliberate homicide. Following a two-day trial, a jury found Jefferson guilty of that charge. Jefferson's defense counsel was permitted to withdraw


as counsel of record two weeks later. Following a psychological evaluation conducted by Dr. William Bredehoft, Jefferson's post-trial attorney moved for a new trial on March 6, 2000. He alleged that Jefferson was entitled to a new trial because the psychological evaluation indicated that he suffered from a mental disease or defect.
¶ 15 Due to a conflict of interest, Judge Blair Jones substituted for Judge Fagg in the proceeding. Judge Jones denied Jefferson's motion for a new trial and later sentenced him to be committed to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services for a period of sixty years. Jefferson contends that the District Court erred when it denied his motion to dismiss for lack of a speedy trial, permitted the State to amend the Informationto the State was mitigated by the fact that the United States filed a petition to revoke Jefferson's probation and, consequently, Jefferson would have been incarcerated for that time period regardless of the State's delay. It concluded any harm caused by the lengthy pretrial incarceration was inevitable.
¶ 26 On appeal, Jefferson asserts that only seven months remained on his federal probation. Therefore, only seven months of his pretrial incarceration can be mitigated by the United States' petition to revoke his probation. The State counters that Jefferson would have been re-sentenced to prison for violating his probation pursuant to statute. Additionally, it maintains that the delay was primarily institutional and not oppressive in nature and, therefore, not the type of incarceration the speedy trial guarantee is concerned with.
¶ 27


of imprisonment. Jefferson testified at trial that his probation officer warned him that he would be sentenced to five or ten years in prison if he possessed a firearm.
¶ 29 The original trial date was scheduled for September 28, 1998. That date passed because the Crime Lab failed to return the State's evidence in a timely fashion. Jefferson entered a plea agreement on February 8, 1999, the rescheduled trial date. However, rather than enter the Alford plea, Jefferson requested a continuance until the District Court ruled on his speedy trial motion. Therefore, the District Court continued the matter until March 15, 1999. Soon after the *646 plea was agreed to, on February 23, 1999, Jefferson withdrew from the plea agreement and requested a jury trial. The court coulddelay weighed slightly in favor of Jefferson. Regardless, it concluded that when the other considerations were balanced, the anxiety and concern caused by the delay was insufficient to outweigh the other factors. The State contends that the pending probation revocation was equally responsible for any anxiety and concern that troubled Jefferson during his pretrial incarceration.
¶ 32 Anxiety and concern are an inherent part of being charged with a crime. Our inquiry considers the extent to which a defendant's anxiety and concern is aggravated by the delay. Longhorn, ¶ 38.
¶ 33 The record indicates that Jefferson was unable to attend to his ill mother, lost his job, and suffered strains on his personal relationships as a result of his pretrial incarceration. However, we noted above that Jefferson's incarceration was


likely a tactical decision based upon the small amount of disputed testimony in Jefferson's favor. Such assumption is especially likely considering defense counsel's use of Jefferson's candor to argue a strong case for Jefferson's honesty in all of his testimony. The transcript reveals that the State presented strong evidence at trial that Jefferson hit Felicia and pointed his assault rifle at her while threatening to kill her. Jefferson himself not only did not deny doing these things, but admitted to the acts when he chose to testify.
¶ 72 Aside from admitting Jefferson's guilt to the lesser offense of felony assault, Jefferson's counsel also pursued an adversarial posture in an attempt to achieve just results, as guaranteed by Article II, Section 24, and the Sixth Amendment, when he attempteda committee to make short-term and long-term recommendations for current and future stadiums.
After being passed on first reading Thursday night, the new property tax rate will be the subject of a public hearing during the next City Council meeting. After the public hearing there will be a second and final reading.
The rate was approved with the help of a suggestion by Councilman Charles LaPorte that the rate should be adopted in pieces rather than as a whole. LaPorte made the suggestions after the council tried several alternatives last month and could never reach a consensus.
His suggestion quickly bore fruit. The agenda was amended to take the tax rate in sections. The first item considered was the recommendation of the city staff for a 22.19-cent increase to fund a


ISIDRO BALDENEGRO LÓPEZ, a farmer and a leader of the indigenous Tarahumara people, had spent much of his life campaigning against illegal logging in the Sierra Madre region of northern Mexico. On January 15th he was shot dead. His father died in the same way, for defending the same cause, 30 years before.

Defending nature is a dangerous occupation, especially in Latin America. According to a recent report by Global Witness, an NGO, 185 environmental activists were murdered worldwide in 2015, an increase of 59% from the year before. More than half the killings were in Latin America. In Brazil 50 green campaigners died in 2015. Honduras is especially perilous: 123 activists have died there since 2010, the highest number of any country relative to its population. Berta Cáceres,Rafael de Flores in south-eastern Guatemala, where activists have been murdered.

Often, as with Mr Baldenegro and Ms Cáceres, the resisters are from indigenous groups; a third of the environmentalists murdered in 2015 belonged to such groups. Their defence of traditional livelihoods like fishing often complements global campaigns on issues like climate change. Indigenous peoples and other small communities manage territories that contain nearly a quarter of the carbon sequestered in tropical forests, estimates Rights and Resources Initiative, an advocacy group. Their alliances with international pressure groups have brought more attention but have not reduced the violence.

Confrontation often happens along frontiers that are either lawless or poorly policed. After Ms Cáceres was murdered, police told journalists she had been killed in an attempted robbery. They have since arrested eight


suspects, including serving and former military officers and two employees of the firm developing the dam she opposed. But the Honduran government has yet to order an investigation into the people who ordered the killing, says her family. The company denies any involvement in the crime. In Mexico, the governor of Chihuahua state, where Mr Baldenegro was killed, says he wants an investigation, but little progress has been reported.

The odds of finding the culprits are greater if the victim is foreign. Dorothy Strang, an American nun who fought to protect the Amazon rainforest, was killed in Brazil 12 years ago. Both the gunman and a rancher who had hired him eventually went to jail. But that is an exception.

Indeed, governments often take sides against the activists, even thoughsymptoms include thigh pain which may be present months before the actual fracture occurs \[[@REF5]\]. Although recently, there has been an increase in the number of such cases, no general consensus has been reached regarding the method of management of such fractures \[[@REF1]\]. Here, we discuss a case where an insufficiency fracture was seen in the subtrochanteric region, and it was primarily managed with proximal femoral nailing. However, it later went into nonunion and was managed by additional plating with bone grafting and bone marrow concentrate after one year.

Origin Story

Butter coffee can generally trace its roots to Dave Asprey, who discovered the reinvigorating powers of the drink when he first consumed tea containing animal fat in Tibet. Recalling it, he said, “I staggered into a guest house from the -10 degree weather and was literally rejuvenated by a creamy cup of yak butter tea.”

That’s story most westerners know about butter coffee, but its origins are actually way older. The credit for its inception also lies with Ethiopia rather than America.

Ethiopia, one of the oldest coffee producing countries in the world, has been producing and consuming coffee since the 9th century. During this time, people would grind roasted beans and mix it with ghee, a type of clarified butter. This made the beans easy to carry, andMore

Another Connecticut Serviceman Dies In Afghanistan

Another American member of the military with ties to Connecticut has died in Afghanistan.

The Department of Defense says 35-year-old Sergeant 1st Class Daehan Park of Watertown died Saturday in Wardak province after his unit was attacked with a home-made bomb. He was a member of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group at Lewis-McChord Base in Washington State.

Governor Dannel Malloy ordered state and U.S. flags to fly at half staff until after his burial.

Park was a graduate of Watertown High School who enlisted in 1998. He took part in the Best Ranger Competition in 2002 and deployed to Afghanistan in 2003 as a Rifle Squad Leader.

It was his fourth deployment overseas, his first to Afghanistan.

Park was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.

He is survived

Climate change played a role in the deaths of thousands of puffins in Alaska, according to a study.

Scientists believe the birds starved to death when the fish they eat migrated north with rising sea temperatures.

The bodies of dead, emaciated puffins began washing up on beaches on Saint Paul Island in autumn 2016.

Up to 9,000 puffins and other seabirds died over the course of a few months, US scientists say.

And climate-driven shifts in fish populations, combined with the onset of moulting, may have caused this mass die-off.

"Mass mortality events are increasing in frequency and magnitude, potentially linked with ongoing climate change," researchers led by Timothy Jones of the University of Washington, Seattle, wrote inthe journal Plos One.

The findings add to fears that rising temperatures are having unpredictable effects on birds, bats and other wildlife.

A recent study found birds nesting in the Arctic faced a bigger risk of having their nests raided by predators due to changes linked to climate change.

And over two days last November, record-breaking heat in Australia's north wiped out almost one-third of the nation's spectacled flying foxes, according to researchers.

The latest study looked at tufted puffins breeding in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska.

The birds feed on fish and marine invertebrates, which in turn feed on ocean plankton.

Scientists fear that


unusually warm waters can shift the ocean food web, spelling trouble for marine life, including puffins.

More than 350 bodies of seabirds were found on beaches on Saint Paul Island between October 2016 to January 2017.

Most were tufted puffins but bodies of a second seabird, the Crested auklet, were also found.

Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean

The family of Freddie Mercury's personal assistant Paul Prenter has spoken of their anger that the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody has portrayed him as a villain who broke up the rock band Queen.

Record company executive Prenter is played as a 'snake' who seduces the flamboyant lead singer, turns him against his band-mates and tries to prevent Mercury's blockbuster performance at the charity concert Live Aid.

The Queen-biopic movie, which won five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor at the Oscars, claims Prenter's father 'would rather see him dead' than let him be gay and suggested he died a lonely death from AIDS after selling his soul to the press.

But the film, which is set to break $1.3billion box office receipts and was masterminded by Queen guitarist Brian


May, has been condemned as 'hurtful', 'cowardly' and untrue by the people that knew Paul Prenter best – his brothers, his god-daughter, his close friends and his former workmates.

Paul's brothers, his goddaughter, close friends and former workmates all describe the movie as 'hurtful', 'cowardly' and 'untrue. Paul is pictured right, with look-a-like actor Allen Leech portraying him in a clip from the movie (left)

The family say guitarist Brian May (left) masterminded the whole movie to make himself, drummer Roger Taylor (right) and bassist John Deacon (not pictured)look good and say they remember May as 'rather arrogant'.The band members are pictured at the Oscars with Rami Malek (center), who took home the Best Actor award for portraying Freddie Mercury

Paul was openly gay since age 16 and the Prenters say their parents were supportive throughout, caring for him until his AIDS death in 1991, but say Freddie (right) was the one with issues regarding his sexuality

'The only person who had an issue with being gay was Freddie,' says Paul's sister-in-law. The pair are pictured together on a tour airplane in 1982

'The film [Bohemian Rhapsody] was like a Disney movie with all these good characters and then one villain in the shape of Paul,' his brother Gerard Prenter told MailOnline.

'They would never have dared to do it had Paul been alive. It is a cowardly way


a brother, he was a son, he was an uncle, he was a god-father. He was something to so many people.'

His eldest brother Ray added: 'Paul didn't have a nasty bone in his body. He was a very gentle and kind guy. The film has blackened Paul's name.'

The hit-movie charts the journey of rock music phenomenon Queen from failing college band to becoming the 1985 Live Aid concert headline act, focusing on the struggle of front-man Freddie Mercury with his bisexuality.

The film introduces Paul Prenter as a confident gay man who seduces Mercury, manipulates him into turning against his band-mates and leads him to a self-destructive world of promiscuous sex and illicit drug-taking.

But Prenter's younger brother Stephen, who lived with him in London during the height of Queen'swas Freddie.

'I heard Paul's side of the conversation and they would gossip about the band about men in their lives, they would laugh, but they were never lovers.

'I can say 100% categorically Freddie and my brother were not involved sexually in any context, any one who knew them knew that.'

Paul (back, second from the left) and Freddie's close bond became 'problematic' because he worked for Queen and not just Freddie, his brother Stephen says. 'He worked with Freddie too much and the rest of the band thought they were being neglected, that Paul was not taking care of their needs,' Stephen says

His brother Stephen says Paul and Freddie were 'inseparable' and his brother would travel all over the world with the band on tour, but says the rest


of Queen rarely socialized together. Pictured on tour in Argentina in 1981

This never-before-seen photo of (from left to right) Paul Prenter, John Deacon, Roger Taylor and Freddie Mercury, was exclusively provided to MailOnline by Paul's brother Stephen to show him in a positive light, unlike that of the movie

Roger Taylor and Freddie Mercury (right) are pictured backstage in 1982 on tour in Japan, with Paul (left) close by. His brother Stephen said Queen rarely socialized together after a concert or studio recording, which was different than the 'family' depicted in the movie

Stephen recalls Prenter taking him to Elton John's birthday party on board HMS Belfast which is moored on the River Thames in central London.

'It was great, I was 19 and there was a free bar. Freddie calledElton by his gay nickname Sharon.

'I remember being invited to a lot of parties during that time and I met a lot of stars, the likes of Rod Stewart, Annie Lennox, Diana Ross. I was also backstage at a lot of Queen concerts.'

For Paul's family the most hurtful scene in the movie is when Prenter's character, played by actor Allen Leech, announces; 'My father would rather see me dead than let me be who I am.'

Stephen, 59, a casino worker who lives in Las Vegas, said this was wrong.

He said Paul was openly gay and their parents had known of his sexual preference for years and never had a problem with it.

'My parents knew about Paul being gay since he was 16, so for a long time,' he


explains.

'He'd come back on holidays with his boyfriends and stay at my parent's house in Dublin with his partners staying in the same bedroom.

'So there was never any issue, the only person who had an issue with being gay was Freddie. Freddie never once in his life admitted to being gay, it was an open secret but never once did he say, 'I'm gay', whereas Paul was very open about it.

'So to bring the Irish Catholic parents thing into the movie is nonsense.'

His other brother Gerard, 71, a retired pay-roll manager from Sheffield, agreed with this assessment.

He told MailOnline: 'They have just reached lazily for the stereotype of what a Catholic father from Belfast might be without any regard for the truth.

'Paul had boyfriends when he started DJ-ing.He never lived in fear of our father. 'Both he and my mother were ordinary people and very liberal minded, really good parents.

'He ended up burying his son after he died of AIDS so for the makers of the film to portray the family like that is a disgrace.'

And eldest brother Ray Prenter, 75, a retired head-teacher from Waterford, Ireland, said: 'My parents had total empathy for Paul when they found out he had AIDS. There was no rancor about what he had been doing or how he had become ill.'

His daughter Blathanaid, 32, who was also Paul's God-daughter, added: 'The film's portrayal of how the family regarded Paul's sexuality could not be more untrue.

'It's hurtful because they are speaking about our grand-dad and it's completely false.'

Paul convinced


the band to get back together for Live Aid (pictured performing at the charity concert in 1985), according to the family, which is represented in the film as the polar opposite

In the film (pictured), Paul tried to keep Queen from playing Live Aid and the band finally reunited for the concert once Freddie (Rami Malek) fired him

Paul's brother Gerard says it's 'ludicrous' to even imply that Paul was against [Queen]', when he was 'instrumental' in the band's success. Paul is pictured in Los Angeles with Freddie (center) and Michael Jackson (left)

Gerard says Paul (right) worked for the band for 'years and years and got little from them', but remained close to Freddie (left) and supported one another, 'unlike the rest of the band'. Drummer Roger Taylor is picturedcenter

Paul's brother Gerard said there were 'tensions in the band'. 'The truth is that Freddie (right) was the boss. He wanted to go and do solo stuff. To pretend that Paul (left, standing) was the instigator is simply wrong'

Far from abandoning their son, Prenter's mother Eileen and father Bill cared for their dying son after he was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid 1980s.

He had moved back to Ireland following his break-up with Queen in 1987 and spent his final days at their home in Glenageary, outside Dublin, when he was allowed out of the hospital.

'Eileen was always up at St Michael's Hospital looking after her Paul,' a neighbour told MailOnline.

'They had ''gold discs'' mounted on the walls and limousines would come and pick them up from the


house.

'An old lady across the road thought it was the Queen of England who had sent the cars. But really it was Freddie Mercury.'

Interviews with Prenter's childhood contemporaries, friends and work-mates at Downtown Radio, have also revealed that Paul did little to hide his sexuality.

Veteran Downtown Radio Station DJ Trevor 'Big T' Campbell said: 'Paul Prenter was very flamboyant. He was very camp. He had the walk, he had the accent and he used to swear, oh my God!

'I can picture him wearing a bright, green, three-piece suit with the collars out. But he was really good at his job.'

Former Downtown Radio Station DJ Michael 'Hendi' Henderson added: 'He was so camp that people used to ask; ''is he putting that on?'''

'He was a little bit like [Radio2 DJ] Kenny Everett. But it never bothered us. If you've worked in show-business, you get to know gay people.'

The third son of a successful Belfast Catholic bookmaker, Paul Prenter stood out from the crowd from an early age.

His love of music and friendship with record label mogul John Reid led him to work with soul legends Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder as their assistant while based in London.

But the launch of Northern Ireland's first commercial radio station, Downtown Radio, in 1976, brought Prenter back to the province where he worked as promotions manager and hosted his own evening shows including 'Soul Train'.

Eighteen months later he returned to London to work with John Reid who had signed up the revolutionary rock band Queen – and became lead singer


Freddie Mercury's personal assistant.

Because the rest of the group had families or their own interests, Paul and Freddie's relationship blossomed as they traveled the world together, according to Stephen. They are pictured in 1981 on tour in Argentina

The band met with President of Argentina Roberto Eduardo Viola (right), with Paul and their lawyer Jim Beach present, all pictured together in this photo

Queen had a large road crew, pictured together on tour with the band, and though Paul was their manage, he had little money when he was fighting AIDS later in life

In the film, the band joke that Paul and Freddie are beginning to look alike with their short hair and dark mustaches, which can be seen in this never-before-seen photo of the band

Brother Stephen says Paul andFreddie became inseparable and Prenter would travel all over the world with the band on tour, never leaving their side.

But he says Queen rarely socialized together after a concert or studio recording.

Paul's younger brother Stephen Prenter lived with him in London during the height of Queen's success and is adamant that unlike the film, Paul and Freddie never had a sexual relationship

'They'd finish in the studio and then go four different directions, they didn't socialize,' recalls Stephen.

'Freddie was gay, him and Paul would go to gay clubs. Roger Taylor was a heavy drinker he'd go out drinking, John Deacon was a married man he'd go back to his wife and Brian May did his own thing.'

Stephen says this cemented Paul and Freddie's friendship further.

But he says their close
