Generals, Flag Officers & Ambassadors’ Course (GFOAC 2017-2)

The Generals, Flag Officers & Ambassadors’ Course took place this week at the NATO Defense College. Bringing together 48 high-level civilian and military participants from 31 different countries, GFOAC 2107-2 was entitled “NATO: Facing an Increasingly Diverse, Unpredictable, and Demanding Security Environment”.

The Course was introduced on Monday 13 November by Course Director BrigGen Heinz-Josef Feldmann (DEU A), Head of the NDC Academic Planning and Policy Division, and participants were warmly welcomed by the Dean of the NDC, BrigGen (ret.) František Mičánek. An opening lecture entitled “Cultural Dialogue: the Western Encounter with the Rest” was delivered by Prof. Christopher Coker (GBR). In the afternoon, further lectures took place: focusing on “The Transatlantic Link: the Cornerstone of the Alliance”, these were given byThe body of an 87-year-old man was discovered in the back seat of a vehicle driven by a Quebec family trying to cross the border at Hemmingford on Sunday morning.

According to reports, a man in his 60s and his elderly parents were driving back from Florida.

His father, identified as Fernand Drapeau, reportedly died of a heart attack on the trip home.

Paramedics said that the man had been dead for at least two days.

The family said that the high cost of American healthcare was the reason they continued their trip back home to Canada.

The case remains under investigation by the SQ.


deemed the trustee's objection to be a motion for an extension of time in which to file a properly supported objection to exemption. The bankruptcy court's order entered December 26, 1995, gave the trustee "until January 17, 1996, to file his motion objecting to the Debtor's Two Individual Retirement Accounts Claimed as Exempt, in conformity with applicable rules and supported by admissible evidence." The debtor appealed the bankruptcy court's denial of its motion and the grant of an extension of time to the trustee.
In January of 1996, the trustee moved for a second extension of time alleging that the debtor had not complied with various discovery requests. The debtor opposed the motion and on January 23, 1996, the bankruptcy court heard oral argument on the motions. At thehearing, the debtor acknowledged that certain documents had been produced that very morning and noted, "I suspect that this will result in a short extension of the January 24th time." Indeed, the court granted the trustee until February 5, 1996, to file his motion. The debtor appealed this second extension of time.
On February 5, 1996, the trustee filed its motion for an order disallowing the debtor's claimed exemption in the two IRAs. The debtor timely filed an opposition thereto. On February 27, 1996, the bankruptcy court heard oral argument on the motion and granted the trustee's motion to disallow the claimed exemptions. The debtor appealed.
The bankruptcy court granted the debtor's motion for stay pending appeal. The three appeals were consolidated by BAP order dated August 23, 1996.

A international mining company has announced it will debut the world's largest electric vehicle at one of its platinum mines in South Africa.

Called the Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle, it will weigh around 290 tons and is more than six times heavier than the second biggest electric vehicle in the world, a 45-ton ‘eDumper’ used to move lime and marlstone around an unrelated mining facility in Switzerland.

The Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle was designed with a hybrid engine design that uses both a lithium-ion battery and hydrogen fuel cells, which replace the conventional diesel engine vehicles typically used at mines.

The Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (pictured above) is the world's largest electric vehicle, set to be put into regular use at the Mogalakwena platinum mine in South Africa later this year

Thetruck will have combined energy stores of 1,000 Kilowatt-hours, and the only waste byproduct created by the engine is water, which is only produced when it's running on hydrogen fuel.

The truck will also have the capacity to recapture small amounts of kinetic energy from its braking system to charge its lithium-ion battery, according to a report in Popular Mechanics.

The truck will be put to use later this year at the Mogalakwena mine, one of South Africa’s largest platinum reserves where more than 310,000 ounces of platinum are extracted every year.

The mine is run by Anglo American, an international mining conglomerate that produces 40 percent of the world’s platinum, and also mines diamonds, copper, nickel, iron ore and coal.

Meet Dudley, the most nightmare-inducing site marker in the deep sea

The Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents site was declared Canada's first deep-sea Marine Protected Area back in 2003 – and for good reason. Around 2,000 metres (6,560 ft) below the ocean's surface, here you'll find hundreds of towering 'black smokers', chimneys made of iron sulfide that spew superheated water laced with chemicals toxic to most forms of life. It's a place as extraordinary as it is extreme – and it's home to an ecosystem of bizarre creatures that have evolved to survive in this hostile environment, from huge spider crabs and colourful tubeworms to ancient microbes. All in all, it's a pretty fitting home for another unusual inhabitant: a terrifying humanoid named 'Dudley'.

According to marine biologist Jackson Chu, who recentlysubmersibles to reach hydrothermal vents on the sea floor ... and that is where Dudley got his name. Perhaps the most infamous of these deep-diving subs is Alvin (one of the first of its kind in the world, Alvin is still being used by researchers today). In a nod of thanks to Alvin's then-pilot, Dudley Foster, the UW team decided to name a site marker in his honour. As it turns out, wooden Dudley is actually a life-sized cutout of his human counterpart!

Only one person in the world has logged more hours in a deep-sea pilot chair than Foster, so we're glad to know there is something drifting along the sea floor in tribute to him ... even if we have to keep the lights on to look

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Police Department had legitimate reasons to put specific mosques and Muslim worshippers under surveillance as part of its counterterrorism efforts, a city lawyer said Thursday at the first court date in a civil rights lawsuit accusing the NYPD of religious profiling.

Peter Farrell of the city Law Department argued that before the case goes forward, the city should be allowed to present evidence specific to the six plaintiffs that he said would prove police were acting with legitimate law enforcement purposes. If the judge agrees, "then this case is over," he said.

An American Civil Liberties Union attorney, Hina Shamsi, countered that her clients already had sufficient legal standing to sue the city and that the NYPD should be ordered to begin turningover sensitive reports and documents detailing the alleged spying on Muslims.

U.S. Magistrate Joan Azrack said she would rule at a later date.

The suit was filed in June following a series of Associated Press reports, detailing the NYPD's Muslim surveillance programs. It alleges that the programs undermined free worship by innocent people and asked the court to halt the surveillance.

In a letter filed on Tuesday, city lawyers outlined evidence they say shows that a security team at a mosque named as a plaintiff in the suit sponsored survival training outings and referred to team members as "jihad warriors." Another plaintiff mosque was frequented by a man convicted earlier this year of lying to the FBI about plans to team up with the Taliban or al-Qaida, the letter said.

An NYPD


investigation of a third plaintiff, college student Asad Dandia, "is based on information that he has made statements and conducted activities in support of violent jihad," the letter said. Dandia also "attempted to organize a trip to Pakistan in 2011 to train and fight alongside extremist elements there," it added.

An NYPD informant acknowledged last year in an interview with the AP that he had spied on Dandia and others.

Story continues

The NYPD didn't target particular mosques "simply because the attendees were Muslim," the letter said. "Rather, the NYPD followed leads suggesting that certain individuals in certain mosques may be engaging in criminal and possibly terrorist activity."

In response, the ACLU accused the city of vilifying its clients "through inflammatory and insinuation and innuendo, suggesting (they) are worthy of criminal investigationSunday, March 6, 2011

One-stop Gallery Hopping at Arc

On Saturday night, I finally made it out to Arc Studios and Gallery, a two-story gallery and studio complex that opened in SOMA last year. In the large gallery downstairs, a national juried photography exhibit was on display, featuring a number of local artists.

What was interesting about how the Arc space is set up, is that during the opening reception for the gallery shows, resident artists have also opened their studios and filled in additional wall


space with their works. The result is an opening event that is one part gallery exhibition and one part open studios, with lots of varied work on display.

A Vancouver teen who was partially blinded while playing in school grounds when he was seven years old has settled his lawsuit against the Vancouver School District for $35,000.

Isaac Deo was in Grade 2 at Nootka Elementary School when a tree branch hit him in the eye, permanently damaging his eyesight. He'd been trying to help a group of friends collect leaves for a game at lunch time.

Deo's father later sued the school district for negligence. The B.C. Court of Appeal approved his settlement late last month.

Collecting leaves for a game

Deo was hurt on April 21, 2010. Court documents said he'd been playing in thesandpit on school grounds when three classmates called him over to a big maple tree.

The other students, all girls between six and eight years old, were collecting leaves for a game. They called Deo, who they said was the tallest in the class, to help them reach a higher branch.

Deo pulled the branch down and the girls plucked the leaves — but when the branch was let go, it whipped up and went into Deo's eye.

He was left "nearly blind" in the eye, according to court documents.

Deo's father sued the Vancouver School Board for three claims of negligence on his son's behalf: failure to implement a proper supervision plan for school grounds, failure to supervise on the day Deo was hurt and failure to phone for an ambulance.

The


family won on the third claim, concerning the ambulance. The other two were dismissed.

'Delay in timely treatment'

A B.C. Supreme Court judge found the school assistant, who was the designated first aid attendant at the school, had failed to meet the standard of care "expected of a careful and prudent parent … certified to provide first aid in a school setting."

Justice Paul Riley found that negligence "led to a delay in timely treatment for Isaac's injury." Whether that contributed to or exacerbated the resulting damage to his eyesight would have been settled at trial.

the court's reasons for departing upward from the guidelines, it is necessary to understand the details of Williams's 1985 fraud conviction.

9
On February 7, 1985, Williams was arrested in Oakland County, Michigan, and charged with knowingly passing a nonsufficient funds check over $50.  Using an alias, Williams had purchased stereo equipment worth $1,659.76.  Following Williams's guilty plea, the state court imposed a one-year suspended sentence because, at the time of sentencing, Williams had already begun to serve a confinement following his federal court convictions for possession of stolen mail, forgery, credit card fraud, and mail fraud.  Although these offenses represented three separate schemes Williams had perpetrated during 1983 and 1984, there was a relationship between the stolen mail, forgery, and mail fraud schemes.

10
From November 1983 toJanuary 1984, Williams organized a criminal enterprise using a letter carrier and other persons to steal checks from the United States mail.  Williams opened bank accounts under the names of fictitious persons and nonexistent companies and used these bank accounts to negotiate the stolen checks.  In three months, Williams negotiated more than 100 checks totalling over $140,000.  He was arrested January 27, 1984, when he attempted to cash a stolen $90,000 U.S. Treasury check.  Williams convinced the government to delay his prosecution in exchange for information on other mail thieves.

11
The mail fraud count related to Williams's scheme to defraud Gloria McKay and her family.  In May 1984, some three months after his arrest for mail theft, Williams posed as "Eric Mason," a broker


working for Precious Metals International.  Over a period of several months, Williams convinced McKay to "invest" more than $215,000 in nonexistent precious metals.  In November 1984, Williams convinced McKay to loan him $63,000 to begin a new "computer chip manufacturing company," and, in January 1985, he convinced McKay to loan him $72,000 to buy a seat on the Chicago Board of Exchange.  Williams was able to convince McKay's brother to invest $79,000 and her mother to invest $30,000 in nonexistent silver, and to loan him $100,000 to open a new business.  Williams seems to have received at least $559,000 from the McKays between May 1984 and February 1985.  This entire scheme took place after the government had arrested Williams for his mail theftscheme and while Williams was allegedly assisting the government's investigation.

12
The credit card fraud count related to Williams's third fraud scheme.  On February 7, 1985, Williams was interviewed by United States Secret Service agents who were investigating Williams's fraudulent use of credit cards.  Williams used false names and false identification, including false social security numbers, to obtain credit cards.  Between August 1984 and February 1985, Williams fraudulently applied for and obtained several credit cards.  This was seven months after his arrest for mail theft.  Williams made approximately $75,000 worth of transactions with these fraudulently obtained credit cards.

13
The day following the February 7th interview with the Secret Service agents, Williams attempted to complete his mail fraud scheme by withdrawing the last of the funds that


he had obtained from the McKays.  The bank would not allow him to withdraw the funds because the alias Williams used was not on the signature card for the account.  Three days later, Williams's stepfather, who was a signatory on the account, attempted to withdraw the remaining funds after being directed to do so by Williams.

14
Federal agents arrested Williams the next day, February 12, 1985, charging him for the 1983-1984 mail theft scheme, which was the crime in whose investigation Williams was allegedly assisting.  When Williams was arraigned on this charge, the magistrate ordered Williams to turn over all of his false identification.  Williams did not do this, because one week later he attempted to continue his credit card fraud by negotiating "cash advance"checks using a false state identification card.

15
The government brought one indictment against Williams for these three schemes.  In April 1985, Williams pleaded guilty to four of the counts against him.  In August 1985, Williams was sentenced to four years imprisonment for mail and credit card fraud, and to ten years for possession of stolen mail and forgery.  The court suspended the ten-year sentence and imposed five years of probation, to run consecutively with his four year sentence.  The court also ordered Williams to pay $365,000 restitution to the McKays.

16
Confinement in a federal prison did not deter Williams from his fraudulent ways.  The criminal activity that underlies Williams's conviction in the present appeal began even before he was sentenced for the 1983-1985 mail theft


and fraud schemes.  In July 1985, about a month before Williams was sentenced as previously described, Williams wrote to Gloria McKay, who had been his prime victim in the fraudulent precious metals scheme.  Playing on the guilt McKay felt after she had convinced her mother and brother to invest several hundred thousand dollars in fictitious silver and fictitious "new business," Williams requested that McKay lend him $10,000 to start up a new investment company.  Williams assured McKay that the only way for him to repay her was for her to provide him with funds to begin a business, the profits from which would be used to repay the McKays.  This letter included a five page "business outline" detailing wholesale and consumer prices, the individualsand that he was to receive a $500,000 government loan under a special program for ex-convicts.  To assure McKay that this was true, Williams forged a letter on Department of the Treasury letterhead.

18
While still in prison, Williams directed his sister to incorporate United Fidelity Financial Services, the corporation he would eventually use as the vehicle for his nationwide fraud scheme.  After Williams's release from prison in the fall of 1987, he began to operate United Fidelity.  One of the conditions of his parole was that he not be associated with any financial institution.  In order to dupe his parole officer, Williams requested assistance from Richard Beyer.  Beyer was an employee at World Wide Transportation, which was a trucking company.  Beyer supplied false


pay stubs to Williams, which Williams then gave to his parole officer, convincing her that he had found legitimate employment.  Beyer supplied these false pay stubs from November 1987 to April 1988.

19
Williams's fraud scheme with United Fidelity was large scale.  The company had a well furnished office and thirty-six employees, at least three of whom were criminally culpable persons.  The fraud scheme had three facets:  First, Williams was obtaining as much money from Gloria McKay as possible.  He convinced McKay that this money was for "investments" and "loans" so that the business would succeed and Williams could repay McKay.  Williams also convinced McKay to cosign loans and credit card applications for business purchases such as office furniture.  Williams also used thismoney to purchase personal items.  Williams got as much as $1.3 million from Gloria McKay and her family after his first conviction.

20
The second facet of the United Fidelity fraud scheme was the ostensibly legitimate business of arranging loans.  United Fidelity conducted a nationwide advertising campaign asserting that it had access to billions of dollars in credit available for loans.  Customers were told that, for a fee, United Fidelity would guarantee that a loan would be made.  Customers were told that the fee also paid for "loan enhancements" that would help the prospective borrower get the loans.  United Fidelity's "guarantee" was that if no loan were arranged, then the customer's fee would be returned.  Government investigators interviewed about forty customers of United Fidelity.


had knowledge of the criminal mail fraud alleged in Count 24.  This argument is unconvincing.  Beyer provided Williams with false pay stubs knowing that Williams would use these stubs to dupe his parole officer.  Whether Beyer knew of the precise nature of the mail fraud that Williams was conducting is immaterial.  Beyer was criminally culpable in that he knowingly provided Williams with the means to deceive his parole officer, thus enabling Williams to operate United Fidelity in violation of the terms of his parole.

27
At least three employees of United Fidelity were criminally culpable.  Karl Whitner, the "Chief Financial Officer," was the second in command at United Fidelity under Williams.  Farooq Azizuddin was the "Chief Information Officer" at United Fidelity.  Both Whitnerhas no basis upon which to review the district court's exercise of discretion.

46
In the present appeal, the district court articulated on the record why it felt the guidelines were inadequate and then recalculated the sentence range based on the higher Criminal History Category.  The sentence imposed by the court was the maximum allowed within the range for Category VI.  The district court's actions here do not reflect the mischief that this court has prohibited:  the district court created a record and reasoned its way to the sentence imposed.  This court may readily review the district court's exercise of discretion.

stir chaos in the Hashemite Kingdom, ISIS has achieved just the opposite. Jordanian tribes, the military and the public are rallying in unprecedented fashion behind King Abdullah II and his government.

“Opening a new front with Jordan is strategically and politically foolish for ISIS”
Joyce Karam
Opening a new front with Jordan is strategically and politically foolish for ISIS. The group is already under fire from a broad international air campaign, Kurdish and Iraqi and Syrian fighters as well as Shiite militias.

Regionally, ISIS’ savagery has brought a rare moment of agreement among political nemesis in the Arab world. Here is Hezbollah an ally of the Assad regime and on the opposite side Muslim cleric Yousef al-Qardawy both condemning ISIS.

The group that exploited disaffected Iraqis and Syrians last June as it vanquishedMosul and Raqqa and Deir Azzor, has very little to offer today besides fear and terror. As it ransacks libraries in Mosul, sells kids, rapes girls and stones women, while failing at providing social services, the Caliphate is seen to be detouring to the old tactics of its founder Abu Musaab Zarqawi.

Political strategy
The backlash over ISIS’ killing of Moaz al-Kasasbeh comes at a critical political juncture for the organization. While the gruesome burning is believed to have occurred in early January, its release this week was to overshadow losses for ISIS in both Iraq and Syria.

ISIS has recently lost its five-month battle in Kobane, its Chemical Weapons expert Abu Malik has been killed, it’s being pushed back in the Diyala province and there is increased speculation about a

“There are many people I could thank for the role they've played in my career, and the time for that will come. Right now, I want to thank the two clubs that I played for – the Sounders and Timbers – for giving me the opportunity to represent them and live my dream. It was a tough year for me in Portland, but the organization treated me very well and gave me tremendous support through my injuries and my decision to retire.”

Zakuani, 26, was the first-overall selection by Seattle Sounders FC in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and joined the Timbers prior to the 2014 season. He appeared in 17 league matches (9 starts) and registered three assists during the year, notably scoring Portland’s first-ever goal in CONCACAF Championsof the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zakuani was raised in London, England, and was a member of the Arsenal FC Academy as a youth. Making his way to the United States for college, Zakuani was a standout player for two seasons under head coach Caleb Porter at the University of Akron in 2007 and 2008, leading the nation in scoring as a sophomore with 20 goals and 47 points in 23 games and earning the runner-up spot for the MAC Hermann Trophy in 2008.

“It’s unfortunate that a player in his prime is forced to retire because of a series of injuries, but this is the harsh reality of sports, and it’s too bad he couldn’t contribute to the Timbers this season the way he had in previous


years,” Porter said. “No doubt Steve will enjoy great success in the next phase of his life, and we wish him all the best.”

Starting his professional career with Sounders FC, Zakuani appeared in 29 matches in each of his first two seasons in MLS, recording career-highs in goals (10) and assists (6) during the 2010 season and earning a call-up by the DR Congo National Team for an international friendly against Mali on Nov. 12, 2010. He saw his 2011 season end prematurely, sustaining a broken tibia and fibula in his right leg against the Colorado Rapids on April 22, 2011, just seven games into the campaign.Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg testifies during a US House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing about Facebook on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, April 11, 2018.

Dr Peter Shirlow, a human geographer and public order expert at Queen's University Belfast, agreesA consortium from Thailand has completed its takeover of Reading Football Club.

The club’s chairman, Sir John Madejski, has been trying to sell the club for around a year and negotiations with the consortium have been going on for some months.

Madejski, who became club chairman in 1990 and largely funded the building of the stadium that bears his name in 1998, confirmed in a statement: "I am delighted to announce that, following confirmation from the Football League, our new Asian consortium partners are now in place at Reading Football Club.

“After months of tireless hard work and a lot of speculation, I am very pleased to say that Reading Football Club's future has been resolved.

when he ran out of computer memory. He didn’t expect anyone to watch what would become his video blog.

But soon viewers of all identities and orientations discovered Kergil’s journey.

Now, nearly six years later, Kergil lives in Cambridge and has more than 61,000 YouTube subscribers. His 191 videos have been watched nearly 6 million times. Thousands of people from around the world have written to cheer him on, and seek advice.

Earlier this month, he flew to Los Angeles, where the Trevor Project, a national group that works to prevent suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and other young people, awarded Kergil its prestigious Youth Innovator Award.

But back on Jan. 21, 2009, Kergil was just a high school senior, sitting in his Acton bedroom, a Red Hot Chili Peppers posterof conversations, but it was all Kergil needed to make sense of his inner dissonance. He knew immediately that transgender described him. Even better, he saw a way to align his body with his mind.

He approached his family gently, telling them he was questioning his gender and asked to visit a gender therapist. His parents, who were divorced, agreed. In the summer before his junior year of high school, he decided to change his name to gender-neutral “Skye,” and asked others to describe him with male pronouns.

He remembers that his mother cried. He knows now that she was grieving the loss of a daughter and also that she worried about him. But 16-year-old Skye felt like she wasn’t supporting him.

His mother, Stephanie Tyler, told her son she would


teller, plays guitar, and sings. He has recorded one album, with a five-song EP on the way. (When he learned about the Trevor Project award, his boss at the bank took him shopping at Macy’s to buy his first suit.)

Kergil gets requests to speak at colleges and high schools about being transgender, sometimes playing his music or reading his poems. In “I Will Mean Everything,” a poem he read on YouTube this summer, he calls himself, “a recycled man in a repurposed body.”

When Kergil went to LA to accept his Trevor Project award, he took his mother with him as his plus-one.

Some transgender people say they see themselves as two beings: the person they were born, and the person they became. Kergil said he felt that way forthe 32 U.S. Sky Island ranges. The vegetation of the Catalinas was first described in a classic study by Forrest Shreve ([@b71]), and it was further elucidated through studies by Whittaker, Niering, and Charles Lowe (Lowe [@b46]; Whittaker and Niering [@b84], [@b87]; Whittaker [@b82]; Whittaker et al. [@b88]; Niering and Lowe [@b57]; and Moore et al. [@b56]).

Robert H. Whittaker (1920--1980) was one of the preeminent ecologists of the twentieth century. Often described as the father of modern plant ecology, he published a series of highly influential research articles that detailed the vegetational patterns of montane regions across the United States. In 1963, Whittaker (and colleague William Niering) surveyed plants in the Santa Catalina Mountains, one of Arizona\'s "Sky Island" mountain ranges next to the city of Tucson. Their


survey ran along the Catalina Highway, which traverses the southern slopes of the Santa Catalinas (Whittaker and Niering [@b83]). Their published articles refer to this as the "Catalina Highway Transect." The Catalina Highway (aka "Mt. Lemmon Highway"), which has not changed its path since it was opened to the public in 1947, runs from 762 m (2500 ft) desertscrub in the Tucson Valley to 2791 m (9157 ft) mixed conifer forest at the top of Mt. Lemmon. Whittaker and Niering ([@b83]) provided a detailed list of plant species for the Catalina Highway Transect, a 49-year-old data set that we use to examine changes in elevational distribution of the most common montane plants in this range.

Historical data sets, such as the Whittaker & Niering (W--N) plant data from theMethods
=====================

Whittaker and Niering ([@b83]) used thirty 0.1 Ha quadrats (20 × 50 m) to undertake a floral survey along the Catalina Highway Transect, from 2500 ft to 9000 ft. Data included in their 1964 study from above 9000 ft were from the Pinaleño Mountains, and data from below 2500 ft were from the Tucson Mountains. Our plant elevation comparisons focused on upland species in the 3500--9000 ft elevation range of the Catalinas. USGS topographic quadrant maps for the Santa Catalinas were first issued in 1957 (both 7.5\'/1:24,000 and 15\'/1:62,500), and W--N might have used those to assist in determining elevations. However, the 1000-ft elevation highway markers were also in place along the Catalina Highway when they did their sampling, and based on an examination of their original field

Cancer treatment is important work, sometimes frustrating and sometimes successful. In contrast, soccer is a game, something that many people take seriously, but still ultimately a fun pursuit.

In at least one case, however, the worlds are colliding.

NJ.com's Richard Greco posted a feature earlier this month on high school soccer player Ben Landel. Landel, a senior at Ramapo High School, has to sit out this season as he's undergoing treatment for carcinoma.

But Dr. Julia Glade Bender, Landel's physician, has brought a bit of soccer to Landel as he undergoes chemotherapy to battle the cancer. Glade Bender is a New York City FC fan, while Landel supports the New York Red Bulls.

Landel explained the bonding he's done with his doctor over the NY Derby.

Hi All,I am in the middle of acquiring this 653 Reynolds road frame from Amrjon

I have found and talked to the original owner (John Groom - Groman Plumbing Woollongong) and he tells me the Geoff Scott built a couple of frames for him in the mid 80s. Geoff Scott at the time had his own business and produced 'Gefsco' frames however the business was not successful and he went and worked at Clarence St Cycles for a time. Does anyone know him, of him or has a frame with his decals on them. Any info would be most appreciative

The most compelling quote in Lizza's piece comes not from a politician or strategist or commentator but from an old college friend of Paul's—closer to a normal human being, in other words. Back in 2010, GQ reported an entertaining moment at Baylor when Paul and a co-conspirator snatched a friend and made her pray to "Aqua Buddha." Lizza tracked down the source, Kristy Ditzler, and got her to go on the record. It turns out she was appalled by the way her anecdote was turned into an attack on Paul, but she was still uneasy about how Paul seemed to be whitewashing his college days:

"The only reason I felt like speaking up was that I was a little bit irked by him making himself out to be allforeign-policy views, which make the Republican establishment and many voters particularly uneasy.

Another tack is simply to pretend that the younger Paul doesn't believe the stuff he's saying now. Paul fans told The Daily Beast's Olivia Nuzzi earlier this month that the senator was just playing a political game and suggested he didn't really mean it—which doesn't do much for the true-believer reputation.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul's past continues to haunt his son. Take the racist newsletters published in the former representative's name. Rand Paul bristles at being connected with fringe groups, but he also seemed happy to use the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's radio show as a platform during his Senate race. He's had his own links to questionable characters, like the former neo-Confederate radio host Jack Hunter, a Paul

Despite a strong support across the board, mostly from disenfranchised, low information voters on the conservative side of the spectrum (which makes M5S possibly the only contender of PD for an electoral victory), this movement is decidedly to the extreme left both in its ultra-liberal stance on social matters, and its essentially socialist/naive Keynesian fiscal policy proposals.

Drive, Hamilton Square, New Jersey, while the defendant, John Guerieri, Jr. now resides at 247 Pope Avenue, Hamilton Township, New Jersey. Since receiving his Alabama divorce John Guerieri has married Rosalia R. Acolia with whom he is living at this time.
The defendant appeared personally before the Alabama Court on March 4, 1961, where he filed a complaint against the plaintiff for divorce on the ground of cruelty. At this time he produced a paper entitled "Answer and Waiver," which was signed by his wife on January 17, 1961. This "Answer and Waiver" provides:
"Comes the Respondent in the above styled cause and accepts service of a Bill of Complaint heretofore filed in said cause; waives notice of the filing of interrogatories in said cause, and the right to crossappointment of Alabama counsel, which also was executed on January 17, 1961.
The plaintiff claims that this waiver and appointment of counsel was achieved through threats and the exertion *544 of undue pressures. In fact, on January 19, 1961 she sent a telegram to John Guerieri repudiating the waiver and appointment because of misrepresentation and absence of legal counsel. However, the defendant produced another statement signed by Mrs. Guerieri, dated February 9, 1961, advising him to disregard the telegram sent on January 19, 1961. The plaintiff also claims that this statement was procured by threats and pressures, and by the promise that no divorce proceedings would be initiated without consulting her. It is further alleged by the plaintiff that she knew nothing of the institution of the proceedings in


Alabama, was not served with any complaint or summons therein, and knew nothing of the granting of the decree for divorce or of its existence until she saw in the Trenton Times newspaper a notice of application for a marriage license by John Guerieri, Jr. and Rosalia R. Acolia on November 3, 1961.
The relevant law of Alabama, as amended July 6, 1945, provides:
"When the defendant is a non-resident, the other party to the marriage must have been a bona fide resident of this state for one year next before the filing of the bill, which must be alleged and proved; provided, however, the provisions of this section shall not be of force and effect when the court has jurisdiction of both parties to the cause of action." Ala.a lawyer who was to enter his wife's appearance in a suit which he contemplated instituting in the State of Nevada. She repudiated this power before it was acted upon. However, the *548 husband, notwithstanding the repudiation, brought the suit and by the fraudulent use of the revoked power procured a decree of divorce without process and without notice to her. The decree was held to be invalid as lacking due process, and the wife's subsequent suit for separate maintenance was allowed. The court held that extrinsic or collateral fraud practiced by the successful party to a suit, whereby the unsuccessful party was prevented from exhibiting fully his case, so that there was no real contest, renders the decree invalid as lacking a basis of procedural due process,


and hence was vulnerable to collateral attack.
In Staedler v. Staedler, 6 N.J. 380, 392 (1951), both the husband and wife were bona fide domiciliaries of New Jersey. The husband was not a resident of Florida for the 90 days next preceding the institution of his divorce action in that state, and the attorney ostensibly acting on behalf of his wife was actually an agent for the husband, who paid for his services and controlled his actions. The court found that the husband could not use the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution to foreclose inquiry, and could not use his appearance in the Florida court to perpetrate a fraud. The New Jersey Supreme Court held:
"We are firmly of the opinion that the principles of the Sherrer,the wife was represented by counsel chosen by her husband and under his direct control. In the Isserman *549 case the court held that where the wife, by her own independently selected counsel appeared in the foreign divorce proceedings instituted by her husband, pleaded to the complaint, and filed a cross-complaint, and contested the jurisdictional question of the residence of her husband, she could not thereafter challenge the validity of the divorce decree in New Jersey but that same was entitled to full faith and credit under the Federal Constitution.
In Nappe v. Nappe, 20 N.J. 337 (1956), both parties personally appeared in Nevada. The wife sued for divorce based upon residence there which met the jurisdictional requirements of the Nevada court, and both sides were represented by independent


credit to divorce decrees of other states in instances where the courts of other states have made jurisdictional findings of domicile after proceedings in which both parties have participated.
In the present case the defendant, John Guerieri, was in Alabama less than a week. His wife, Mary Guerieri, was not represented by impartial counsel. In fact, it is her contention that she did not even know of the divorce proceedings. The Answer and Waiver signed by her, later repudiated and then subsequently recognized has questionable validity. Counsel appointed by her was actually retained *550 to represent the husband. The answer and waiver and appointment of counsel were signed in anticipation of litigation, to be used at the husband's pleasure. It is believed these facts mock the elements of anA decree of divorce was granted though the petitioner sought a divorce on the ground of the husband's adultery. It was held that at the time of the Mexican decree neither the petitioner nor defendant was domiciled or resident in Mexico, but both were domiciled in New Jersey. The divorce was therefore declared invalid in New Jersey and the petitioner was granted a decree for divorce on the ground of the defendant's adultery.
In the case at bar the divorce procured by John Guerieri, Jr., in Albama is not valid in New Jersey. He has since remarried and has been living with his new spouse as husband and wife. A divorce will therefore be granted to the petitioner, Mary Guerieri, on the ground of the adultery of her husband,

Even when the full delegation is seated in January and Hassan sworn in, the United States will most likely still rank 69th or thereabouts among countries with the highest percentage of women in government.

It is a trend all too pervasive outside of government, as Shaheen implied.

In corporate boardrooms, women make up 3 percent of CEOs and occupy around 16 percent board seats (up 0.5 percent from 2009) at the nation’s Fortune 500 companies, and 15.2 percent of the directors at the largest companies are women, according to Linda Tarr-Whelan, author of “Women Lead the Way.”

As reported by The New York Times, science professorsvehicle.

The Model S owner was nonetheless able to exit the highway as instructed by the onboard alert system, bring the car to a stop and depart the vehicle without injury. A fire caused by the impact began in the front battery module – the battery pack has a total of 16 modules – but was contained to the front section of the car by internal firewalls within the pack. Vents built into the battery pack directed the flames down towards the road and away from the vehicle.

When the fire department arrived, they observed standard procedure, which was to gain access to the source of the fire by puncturing holes in the top of the battery's protective metal plate and applying water. For the Model S lithium-ion battery, it


was correct to apply water (vs. dry chemical extinguisher), but not to puncture the metal firewall, as the newly created holes allowed the flames to then vent upwards into the front trunk section of the Model S. Nonetheless, a combination of water followed by dry chemical extinguisher quickly brought the fire to an end.

It is important to note that the fire in the battery was contained to a small section near the front by the internal firewalls built into the pack structure. At no point did fire enter the passenger compartment.

Had a conventional gasoline car encountered the same object on the highway, the result could have been far worse. A typical gasoline car only has a thin metal sheet protecting the underbody, leaving it vulnerable to destruction ofthe fuel supply lines or fuel tank, which causes a pool of gasoline to form and often burn the entire car to the ground. In contrast, the combustion energy of our battery pack is only about 10% of the energy contained in a gasoline tank and is divided into 16 modules with firewalls in between. As a consequence, the effective combustion potential is only about 1% that of the fuel in a comparable gasoline sedan.

The nationwide driving statistics make this very clear: there are 150,000 car fires per year according to the National Fire Protection Association, and Americans drive about 3 trillion miles per year according to the Department of Transportation. That equates to 1 vehicle fire for every 20 million miles driven, compared to 1 fire in

FLAC owned the Grassy Hill Country Club (the "Club") located in Orange, Connecticut. CTB and its parent, Centerbank (or the "Creditors") held mortgages on the Club and other property which were being foreclosed when Peck filed his Plan. On October 9, 1990, Centerbank filed an objectionp. 7. The Stipulated Order noted that Centerbank's objection to the Plan had been resolved by the Stipulation; found that there was good cause for approving the Stipulation; and provided that: "[I]t is hereby ORDERED that the Stipulation attached hereto as Exhibit A and all . . . the terms and conditions contained therein are approved." The Plan was confirmed on October 22, 1990.
On November 21, 1990, Peck, as shareholder and director of FLAC, voted to authorize FLAC to file a chapter 11 petition. On June 26, 1991, Peck, as president, authorized FLAC's bankruptcy filing. On June 28, 1991, FLAC filed a chapter 11 petition. It is therefore apparent that when Peck authorized FLAC's filing, he breached the Stipulation in that he directly or indirectly had some involvement


Star Trek – The Trouble with Tribbles Slot Machine

The Trouble with Tribbles is one of the most famous episodes from the original Star Trek series, this coming in the middle of the second season of three. Tribbles are small, furry and round creatures, who are known for their cute-factor, although the fact that they can mate and reproduce so fast can cause trouble, as they’ll need to consume ever more food – a reason why they are classed as dangerous by the Starfleet.

This slot is the third in the Star Trek series of slots designed by WMS. To play this game you’ll need to have earned enough medals throughout your play in the first two episodes – ‘Red Alert’ and ‘Explore New Worlds’.

Over the past 14 months, the Irish Hsüan imprint has been carving out its own space in the bass music world with releases from up-and-comers Drop/Dead, Blacktee, and EOMAC, among others. Now, the label has passed along a track from another burgeoning producer, Pneumatic, who has a forthcoming release for Hsüan slated for later this month. Humbly beginning as a sparse, soulful beat of the futuristic variety, the Irish producer takes to chopping a pitched-up female vocal amongst a host of cyclical synth lines for the first half of the six-plus minute track. Then a few hints of what’s to come start to appear—sped-up percussion, a brooding bassline—and finally

word vba range not repositioning using a loop

I am working on a macro in word. It pulls cell contents from some cells in an excel doc, puts part of them at the end of the word doc, bolds the first part, then puts the rest of the string and unbolds it.Then it looks for the next match in the excel doc and repeats until there are no matches.
On the second pass through the loop, it continues to affect the content added in the first pass. The font with block also affects the previous line and ends up bolding the entire thing. I set the object to Nothing at the end of the function so I wouldn't expect it to see the first part of the loop asjobs, all of them."

Simplot says most of its Caldwell workers will lose their jobs by mid-January.

"Money's tight to begin with, and then when you take away their job on top of that, that... doesn't make for a very nice Christmas for them," said Christina Haymes of Caldwell.

The new Caldwell plant already has several production lines open for testing. The Deparment of Labor expects it to be fully open early next year.

On December 16, the Department of Labor plans to have a job fair for the laid off workers.


In Temecula the winners are …

The fifth annual Southern California Wine Competition awards were presented recently at Wiens Family Cellars in Temecula. The Temecula Wine Society did the necessary work and guests were able to taste the results of the tasting of five notable judges, including Dan Berger, a leading wine columnist since 1976. Special guests were Vince and Audrey Cilurzo, pioneer Temecula winery owners who have now written a definitive book on the history of Temecula wines and the South Coast appellation. Details on this first-ever chronicle of the region can be accessed by e-mailing vacilurzo@verizon.net.
After a lovely catered dinner, Jay Coyne, president of the Society, took the mike and announced the judge’s decisions.
Best of Class included Fallbrook Winery for its 2008 Rose. Falkner Winery was honoredfor its 2008 Reisling. Callaway scored with the 2008 White Dessert Wine. The favorite of the evening was South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. It won Best of Class twice for its Blanc de Blanc Sparkling wine nonvintage and for the 2006 Sangiovese, with grapes harvested from the legendary Wild Horse Peak, 2,200 feet high up on Palomar Mountain. Jon McPherson, South Coast’s accomplished winemaker, was present to receive this prestigious Best of Class. He has often said that Temecula is particularly suited for Italian varietals and especially Sangiovese. His is 100 percent true to its character, barreled in French Oak, with a red licorice and black cherry cola taste. “With some aging, this Sangiovese will taste more like the king of Tuscan wines, Brunello of Montalcino,” McPherson

I was there talking about our Open Source contributions (OpenUI5, Eclipse,assignments on three key investigations. These included 1) the Hillary Clinton email scandal, 2) the Michael Flynn inquiry, and 3) the special counsel’s investigation into possible Trump – Russia collusion.

His influence at the FBI is hard to understate. According to the New York Times, Strzok was one of the most experienced and trusted agents within the entire organization.

Meanwhile, his colleague and secret lover Ms. Page served as an attorney within the Bureau’s Office of the General Counsel and, for a time, on Robert Mueller’s investigation. She was also a Clinton supporter.

It’s also a dubious political strategy. If senior FBI officials are rightfully under indictment next November rather than Trump, election night may not be as kind to The Resistance as one might hope.

In exchanges between Strzok and Page,


Ohr met with Mr. Steele both before and after the FBI dismissed the British national for exposing his dossier to the media. He also relayed Steele’s information to other officials within the FBI. Mrs. Ohr, for her part, conducted opposition research on Trump on behalf of her employer, Fusion GPS. Mr. Ohr shared this reporting with FBI colleagues too.

Comey: Former FBI Director James Comey has acknowledged that, on at least one occasion, he served as an unauthorized source for a New York Times story critical of the president. Recall that Comey possessed numerous memos regarding his meetings with Trump, with some of those interactions leaving him alarmed. But rather than pass the memos to Congress, he provided them first to a friend in New York with instructions torelay them to the Times. This conduct was a clear violation of FBI rules and protocol. It was also a possible violation of U.S. law given the sensitive, proprietary nature of the information leaked.

Comey, Brennan, & Clapper: In January 2017, Director Comey was also involved in another worrying episode when he, then-CIA Director John Brennan, and then-DNI James Clapper briefed the Steele dossier to a large number of elected officials in D.C. As the New York Times highlighted, this move was odd in that, by spreading the dossier’s uncorroborated allegations, Comey and company virtually assured the dossier would leak and be given a degree of credibility that it didn’t otherwise deserve.

Their decision is all the more perplexing given that each of the men downplayed or rejected the dossier’s

Bailey found himself in back to back games against Toronto in the middle of February and has been a dominant player since. He finished the season with four goals in the last four games of the season.

All three players have the chance to increase their value for the future based on how they play in the post season. Play as a team and individual success will follow is something that the coaching staff has stressed all season and carries into the playoffs. Care about each other and win hockey games.

More high drama on high seas as France captures pirate ship

MOMBASA, Kenya — On another day of high drama in the waters off Somalia, French forces struck Wednesday at what they described as a pirate "mother ship," and captured 11 suspected pirates hours after pirates attacked an American cargo ship with rockets in the second serious attack on a U.S. vessel in a week.

Pirates operating from the coast of Somalia have threatened revenge and stepped up their activities after U.S. Navy SEAL snipers killed three pirates Sunday and rescued American captain Richard Phillips, who'd been taken hostage. His ship, the Maersk Alabama, narrowly escaped capture a few days earlier.

In the Wednesday attack, pirates used automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades against the U.S.-flagged vessel, the Liberty Sun, which likethe Alabama, was ferrying food aid into East Africa. They caused damage but no injuries and failed to seize the vessel. The crew barricaded itself in a safe room, much as the Alabama's crew did, according to a crewmember's e-mail obtained by news agencies.

In Washington, senior aides to President Barack Obama met at the White House Wednesday morning to a plan strategy to deal with the crisis and to address the chaos in anarchic Somalia that's part of the problem.

After the meeting, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced several new steps, including aid to shippers and insurers to bolster their defenses; attempts to block pirates from buying sophisticated vessels and arms; and a diplomatic initiative to press Somali leaders to deal with the problem.

Clinton acknowledged that piracy will


not be stopped without tackling Somalia's poverty and its lack of governance. She said, however, that, "You've got to put out the fire before you can rebuild the house. And, right now, we have a fire raging."

The French raid was an unusually aggressive move by international forces patrolling the Indian Ocean, and it was a sign that both pirate attacks and the international response are escalating.

After a Liberian-flagged container ship came under heavy rocket-propelled grenade and small-arms fire from two pirate speedboats, a French frigate, the Nivose, dispatched two helicopters to the scene, about 500 miles east of the Kenyan port of Mombasa, the French defense ministry said. The helicopters saw the skiffs operating with a 30-foot "mother ship" — often a previously seized vessel used by piratesas a floating base.

Eleven pirates were captured and taken aboard the Nivose.

The assault was the latest hardline French response to piracy, following a commando raid last week to free a French yacht, the Tanit, in which French troops killed two pirates and one French hostage. They captured three other pirates, who've been sent to France, where they're expected to face trial, French officials have said.

The Liberty Sun was due to arrive in Mombasa, its original destination, early Thursday.

The captain of the Alabama, Richard Phillips, who was held hostage for five days, was also due in Mombasa Thursday aboard the destroyer USS Bainbridge. Phillips is to be questioned by U.S. law enforcement agents based in Kenya and then will fly to the U.S. to reunite with his family, said


Gordan Van Hook, a representative of the ship's owner, Maersk Line of Norfolk, Va.

The 19 other Alabama crewmen flew out of Mombasa and were expected to reunite with their families at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Van Hook said.

Clinton said she'd called for a meeting of an international "contact group" that deals with piracy from Somalia and would press for "an expanded multinational response."

A team of U.S. diplomats, she said, would engage officials of the weak Somalia government and regional leaders in Puntland, the breakaway Somali region where many pirates are based, to urge them to take action.

A State Department official, who requested anonymity to speak more frankly, said most of the steps Clinton announced drew from initiatives already under way and begun in the final daysMonday, November 8, 2010

"Enlightenment critiques of the reasonableness of religious belief point to defects not so much in religious belief as in the conceptions of knowledge uncritically adopted as the basis of these critiques. Maybe religious knowledge looks dubious because we have the wrong idea about what it is to know something and how we know what we know." --C. Stephen Evans and Merold Westphal, Christian Perspectives on Religious Knowledge.

Introduction

In Religious Epistemology we encounter the intersection of traditional epistemology with the newly burgeoning fieldof Philosophy of Religion. One of the most rapidly developing areas of Philosophy of Religion has been the exploration of the epistemic status of religious truth claims, their rationality, and warrant.

Positivism and the Presumption of Atheism

We may gain an appreciation of how Religious Epistemology has changed by casting a backward glance at questions facing the previous generation of philosophers. As mid-twentieth century philosophers of religion struggled under the pall of Logical Positivism, they were forced to defend the very meaningfulness of their claims against the attacks of positivists and their philosophical ilk. Positivists championed a Verification Principle of meaning, according to which an informative sentence, in order to be meaningful, must be capable in principle of being empirically verified. Since religious statements like “God exists” or “God loves


the world” were, in their opinion, incapable of being empirically verified, positivistic philosophers held them to be literally meaningless, as if one had asserted, “’twas brillig, and the slythey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.” Under criticism, the Verification Principle underwent a number of changes, including its permutation into the Falsification Principle, which held that a meaningful sentence must be capable in principle of being empirically falsified. The fate of religious language was thought to be no brighter under falsificationism than under verificationism, as became evident at a famous Oxford University symposium on 'Theology and Falsification' held in 1948.

At the symposium Antony Flew borrowed a story told several years earlier by John Wisdom concerning two explorers who came upon a patch of flowers in a junglea written report stating that it was his opinion that Bishop was competent to stand trial After evaluating all of the evidence, the trial court determined that an additional full competency hearing was not necessary.  In light of the evidence, this court finds that there was not a bona fide doubt as to Bishop's competency.  Therefore, an additional hearing was not required, and Bishop was not deprived of due process.

b. Continuance

9
Bishop contends that he was denied due process by the trial court's refusal to grant a continuance to allow him to subpoena or depose his wife.  Bishop claims that Mrs. Bishop was a material witness for the insanity defense.  In some cases, due process may dictate that a defendant be granted a continuance in


her special relationship to the accused.  Bishop was able to put on an expert witness to testify in support of his insanity defense.  In light of these facts, the trial court's ruling on the motion to continue was not so arbitrary as to deprive Bishop of due process.

c. Use of Perjured Testimony

13
Bishop contends he was denied a fair trial by the prosecutor's use of perjured testimony.  He bases this claim on trial testimony by one of the arresting officers that Bishop called the officer to the jail three days after the arrest.  This testimony was used by the prosecution to rebut Bishop's contention that he was in a disassociative state at the time of the crimes and his arrest and could not remember anyUK loses out on trade due to poor flight links

Business leaders in some of the world's fastest-growing economies are more
likely to trade with France, Germany and Holland than Britain because of the
UK's relatively poor air connections, a survey has found.

Some 64pc of the 350 executives surveyed believed the UK would miss out on economic growth because of declining flight connections to London.Photo: GETTY

Two-thirds of directors in Brazil, China, India, South Korea and Mexico said they were more inclined to do business with Britain's major European rivals because they offered more direct flights.

Some 64pc of the 350 executives surveyed also believed the UK would miss out on economic growth because of declining flight connections to London, whose major airport Heathrow is operating at 99pc of its capacity.

The study, commissioned


by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and Heathrow, gives an important foreign perspective on the highly-charged political debate over Britain's aviation policy – or lack of one.

It heated up last week with news that the Government, having blocked a third runway at Heathrow, would review a potential £50bn new airport in the Thames Estuary.

John Longworth, BCC's director-general, said: "While businesses welcome the ambition displayed by the Government's recent announcement on a possible four-runway airport in the Thames Estuary, this so far unfunded project will take 20 years to deliver. More has to be done in the meantime to solve the UK's capacity crunch, for example by building a third runway at Heathrow."

Willie Walsh, chief executive of British Airways-owner International Airlines Group, last week said he doubted theand the Zimmer Trilogy cross-linked polyethylene (Longevity, Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) was revised. The locking ring of the Trilogy shell was released with much difficulty because it was already expanded and did not move freely. Although there was no apparent damage to the locking ring, and it was found to be appropriately seated in the appropriate position, there was a solid film of translucent yellow-organic material in the locking ring channel and behind the polyethylene. The Longevity (Zimmer Biomet) cross-linked liner was removed, and the periarticular tissue was debrided with a portion of the capsule sent to pathology. The interior of the cystic structure anteriorly was gently debrided, but it was not excised because of its proximity to the neurovascular structures. The joint was then irrigated with scrubbing


Dolphin II, a charter vessel operated by Defendant Dolphin Marine Transport, Inc. ("Dolphin"). At the time of the collision, both boats were located in Freeport Creek in Nassau County, New York. (Freeport Creek is connected to the Great South Bay.) The Boat required $32,000 in repairs. The boat maintained by Dolphin also was damaged in this collision.
At some time after the collision, Michael Cassella, filed a claim with Plaintiff. Dolphin also submitted a claim to Plaintiff. Thereafter, Dolphin initiated a lawsuit alleging negligence by Thomas Cassella and seeking to hold Michael Cassella vicariously liable for the lost profits it suffered while its boat was not seaworthy.
Plaintiff refused to pay Michael Cassella's claim and, on October 2, 2000, initiated *163 the instant declaratory judgment action. Plaintiffs complaint argues thatstating that "Minority Members 'shall be entitled to ... call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon.'”

It is unclear who specifically Republicans plan on calling as a witness, although several have floated the idea of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., being called, after his committee released a report on the impeachment inquiry Tuesday that concluded Trump withheld nearly $391 million in military aid from Ukraine, conditioning its delivery -- as well as a White House visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky -- on a public announcement that Zelensky was conducting investigations into 2020 Democrat Joe Biden and his son Hunter. It also accuses Trump of obstruction for instructing witnesses not to


The Force is strong with this one. "This one" meaning Rodarte's Fall 2014 collection (obviously). Yesterday, the Sisters Mulleavy sent their latest line down the runway, which featured a few VERY familiar faces—and we're not talking about the models. With the blessing of director George Lucas, his wife Mellody Hobson, and Disney (who recently acquired the rights to Lucas' Lucasfilm Limited production company) Rodarte presented a series of Star Wars-themed looks that were both very literal (i.e. gowns emblazoned with Yoda, Luke Skywalker, and C-3PO) and creatively interpretative.

Before the beloved character-print dresses closed out the show (sans noticeably absent leads like Princess Leia and Darth Vader), Rodarte duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy delivered a collection filled with what we believe were more-discreet references to the cult-classic trilogy—which, toSUSPECTED CHOLERA OUTBREAK KILLS FIVE PEOPLE IN THE CAPITAL

HARARE – At least FIVE people have been confirmed dead following a suspected cholera outbreak in TWO suburbs of the ZIMBABWEAN capital.

Children in poor high density areas are the most exposed (Pic. red Sky News)

THE HERALD says the disease has invaded CLENVIEW-THREE and BUDIRIRO high-density areas in the last TWO days, when it infected another 36 people.

It says the health authorities have admitted the suspected cases, 11 of them confirmed as cholera, to the BEATRICE Infectious Diseases Hospital in the HARARE township of MBARE.

An earlier report in the SUNDAY MAIL says the country experienced the deadliest cholera epidemic between AUGUST 2008 and JUNE 2009, when ONE-THOUSAND people from 98-THOUSAND recorded cases died.

It says the deadly disease started in the dormitory


town of CHITUNGWIZA and spread across the country at a record speed, before causing havoc beyond the national borders.

The State-owned weekly says cholera killed FIVE people in APRIL in CHEGUTU Town, just outside the capital, but the Ministry of Health managed to contain the ailment.

The latest outbreak report comes amid reports saying HARARE water is not suitable for human consumption, which spells doom for families without easy access to boreholes and other protected sources.

Medical experts say the situation of poor water and sanitation facilities is rendering HARARE and CHITUNGWIZA fertile breeding grounds for the bacteria that causes cholera.

They say the infectious disease causes severe watery diarrhoea that can lead to dehydration, and even death if untreated, yet the World Health Organisation reports at least 150-THOUSAND cases each year.
