2019: End of reign

Errick McCollum, who had played for the team in each of the prior four tournaments, did not play in TBT 2019, due to getting married. Overseas Elite won their first three games, to capture their region and advance to the quarterfinals in Chicago. In the quarterfinals, they defeated Loyalty Is Love, 86–73. That win advanced Overseas Elitewound in a roll form on the bobbin together with the interleaf interposed in the roll form to cover the film-forming face of the web substrate is delivered from the bobbin and moved in the longitudinal direction for film formation while the interleaf being separately delivered and wound on the bobbin for the interleaf, when strong adhesion is present between the web substrate and the interleaf due to adhesion or electrostatic absorption of the interleaf, there is a fear such that the interleaf is pulled in the steering roller whereby the interleaf is sandwiched between the web substrate and the steering roller, where the interleaf is broken or the interleaf is in a state that the interleaf is mounted on the back face of the web substrate and


it is moved into a first film-forming chamber adjacent to the substrate-delivering chamber together with the web substrate while maintaining said state.
Further, in the case where the rotation performance of a bobbin shaft for winding the interleaf fails due to aging of bearings for the bobbin shaft because of continuous repetition of the film formation over a long period of time and the winding speed of the interleaf becomes slower than the peeling speed of the interleaf from the web substrate, there is a fear such that the interleaf is gradually loosed and eventually, the interleaf is moved into a first film-forming chamber adjacent to the substrate-delivering chamber together with the web substrate while the interleaf being mounted on the back face of the web substrate.
When the interleafis not normally wound, there is a tendency of causing problems such that abnormality is entailed for the transportation of the web substrate, and when the interleaf is taken into the first film-forming chamber as above described, depending upon the kind of the constituent of the interleaf, the interleaf is evaporated to deposit on the inner wall face or the like of the film-forming chamber or it is melted or burned in a worst case due to heat from the heater of the film-forming chamber, where the film-forming apparatus is greatly damaged.
Separately in the case where the web substrate having a plurality of deposited films sequentially formed thereon is wound on the bobbin, when the web substrate is wound on the bobbin together with a new interleaf while


laying the interleaf on the film-forming surface of the web substrate so as to cover the film-forming surface and wherein the rotation performance of the bobbin shaft for delivering the interleaf fails and the speed for the interleaf to be delivered becomes faster than that for the web substrate to be wound on the bobbin, there is such a fear as will be described in the following. That is, the interleaf is gradually loosened and eventually, the interleaf is pulled in the steering roller in a state that the interleaf is mounted on the back face of the web substrate, where the interleaf is broken.
Without being noticed to the fact that the interleaf is broken during the film formation, when the film formation is continued, there is atendency in that no interleaf is laid on the film-formed face of the web substrate which is wound after the time when the interleaf is broken. This situation is liable to entail a remarkable decrease in the yield of a film product and also in the characteristics thereof.
The occurrence of such problems as above described is limited only in the case of forming a deposited film on a web substrate by way of the roll-to-roll film-forming process. Similar problems are liable to occur also in the case of other substrate-processing apparatus in which a web substrate is treated by way of roll-to-roll manner. These substrate-processing apparatus include film-forming apparatus by means of sputtering, vapor deposition, CVD apparatus, plating, or coating, etching apparatus, and washing apparatus.

Michael, of Art of Adventuring, visited Hoi An. He wanted to find out more about what happens behind the scenes in this town filled of cloth, so he visited the famous Miss Forget-Me-Not, a local tailor who is well-known for crafting superb products at incredibly low prices.

He sat down to interview her and, during their chat, she began to cry; as it turns out, competition is cutthroat, and Miss Forget-Me-Not had been the subject of abuse. She didn’t play by the same rules as the rest of the tailors, so they would wreck her shop, threaten her with abuse and steal her customers. She was only trying to run an honest business and, in doing so, became an unpopular figure around town.

Hoi An Cloth Market, Stall 20

I made my way to 37 Phan Chau Trinh Street, in downtown Hoi An, and introduced myself. She asked lots of questions about Michael before moving on to me, and made sure that my friends and I were well looked after. She immediately treated me as though I was kin. She kept her shop open late just for the refitting and she was caring and attentive to everybody I saw her with.

Due to previous incidents at the cloth market, in which her shop had been wrecked and she had been threatened with violence, Miss Forget-Me-Not was forced to move. It took her a number of years, but in the final half


Problem eating attitudes and behaviors in young children.
The factor structure of the Children's Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) and the predictors of problem eating were examined in young boys and girls. Two hundred and twenty eight children from Grades 2 and 4 completed questionnaires which examined problem eating attitudes and behaviors, body image, and self-concepts. Four factors were found for girls and boys. The girls' four factors, Dieting, Food Preoccupation, Social Pressure to Eat, and Restricting and Purging, corresponded closely to previous studies with older girls and women. Four different factors were found for the boys, Global Problems, Dieting versus Purging, Dieting and Food Preoccupation, and Emotional Eating. However, dieting behaviors in both girls and boys were predicted by poorer body image and in boys emotional concerns about eatingAseptic packaging is widely used to prolong the shelf life of food and drink products. With conventional aseptic packaging, the product is filled and sealed in the package under aseptic conditions. It is well known from people of the art, that aseptic conditions are aimed at preventing as well as possible, contamination of the product and of the inner packaging in contact with the product, from being exposed to germs of the environment. The product is said to be aseptic, when the number of packages filled does not exceed 1 per 3,000 units. The almost irreducible rate of failure is mainly due to the fact that containers are filled open in the environment within the filling machine, which itself is cleaned aseptically.

Partisan Rock - Red Dawn

... In the early days of World War III, guerrillas - mostly children - placed the names of their lost upon this rock.They fought here alone and gave up their lives, so that 'this nation shall not perish from the earth.'

Red Dawn is a 1984 American war film directed by John Milius and co-written by Milius and Kevin Reynolds. It stars Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Grey. It was the first film to be released with the MPAA rating of PG-13.

The film is set in an alternate 1980s in which the United States is invaded by the Soviet Union and its Cuban and Nicaraguan allies.However, the onset of World War III is in the background and not fullyelaborated. The story follows a group of American high school students who resist the occupation with guerrilla warfare, calling themselves Wolverines, after their high school mascot.

An introductory text explains how the USA gradually became strategically isolated when several European nations, except the United Kingdom, withdrew their membership in NATO. At the same time, the Warsaw Pact are aggressively expanding their sphere of influence. In addition, the Ukrainian wheat harvest fails and a communist coup occurs in Mexico.

On a September morning in the small town of Calumet, Colorado, a local high school teacher pauses mid sentence when he sees paratroopers landing in a nearby field. These are Russian Airborne Troops, who promptly open fire when the teacher confronts them. Pandemonium follows as students flee amid heavy gunfire. In downtown


Calumet, Cuban and Soviet troops are trying to impose order after a hasty occupation. Shortly thereafter, Colonel Bella (a Cuban officer) instructs the KGB to go to the local sporting goods store and obtain the records of the store's gun sales on the ATF's Form 4473, which includes the names of citizens who have purchased firearms.

Jed Eckert, his brother Matt, and their friends Robert, Danny, Daryl, and Aardvark, flee into the wilderness after hastily equipping themselves at Robert's father's sporting goods store. While on the way to the mountains, they run into a Russian blockade, but are saved by a US Army helicopter gunship that destroys the blockade. After several weeks in the forest, they return to town; Jed and Matt learn that their father has been capturedand is being held in a re-education camp. They visit the site and speak to him through the fence; Mr. Eckert orders his sons to abandon him, and to "avenge" his inevitable death. They then visit the Masons and learn that they are behind enemy lines in "Occupied America" (as opposed to Free America, the unoccupied zone) and that Robert's father has been executed because the guns from his store - the ones he gave to the boys - were found to be missing by the occupation authorities. The couple also charge the boys with taking care of their two granddaughters, Toni and Erica. After killing some Soviet soldiers in the woods, the youths begin an armed resistance against the occupation forces calling themselves "Wolverines" after their high


school mascot. Initially the occupation forces try reprisal tactics, executing groups of civilians following every Wolverine attack, in hopes of intimidating the local population and compelling the Wolverines to surrender or desist from further attacks. During one of these executions the Eckert brothers' father is killed. Daryl's father, Calumet's Mayor Bates (who is a collaborator), tries to appease the occupation authorities.

The teenagers find a downed United States Air Force F-15 pilot, Lt. Col. Andrew Tanner and learn about the current state of the war: several cities such as Washington, D.C., Kansas City, and Omaha have been obliterated, America's Strategic Air Command has been crippled in a surprise attack by Cuban saboteurs who had posed as immigrants illegally crossing the US-Mexico border, and the paratroopers the youths have encounteredwere dropped from fake commercial airliners to seize key positions in preparation for subsequent massive assaults via Mexico and Alaska. The middle third of the US has been taken over, but American counterattacks have halted Soviet progress and the lines have stabilized. Concerned about nuclear fallout, both sides refrain from the further use of nuclear weapons.

Tanner then assists the Wolverines in organizing raids against the Soviets. Soon after, in a visit to the front line, Tanner and Aardvark are killed in a battle between a US and two Soviet tanks. As a result of the escalating attacks, Soviet commanders now view the Wolverines as a serious threat. Using threats of torture, KGB officers force Daryl to swallow a tracking device, then release him to rejoin the guerrillas. Spetsnaz


are sent into the mountains following these signals, but are ambushed and killed by the Wolverines. The group discovers that their pursuers are carrying portable radio triangulation equipment and trace the source of the signal to their friend. Daryl confesses and pleads for mercy but is coldly executed by Robert, along with a Soviet soldier captured during the battle.

The Wolverines' morale erodes as the war of attrition takes its toll. The remaining members are ambushed by three helicopter gunships after being baited by a truck dropping supplies on the road, and Robert and Toni are killed, leaving the group reduced to four.

Determined to save at least some of their number, Jed and Matt attack the Soviet headquarters in Calumet to distract the troops while Danny and Erica escapeto liberated territory. The plan works as Danny and Erica escape, while Jed and Matt are wounded. Though Colonel Bella encounters the brothers, he cannot bring himself to kill them and lets them go. Still, it is implied that the brothers die in the park where the two spent time as kids.

The film's epilogue is narrated by Erica and suggests that the United States repelled the invasion some time later. A plaque is displayed with "Partisan Rock" in the background, which has been a recurring motif throughout the film as each dead comrade's name has been inscribed upon it. The plaque reads:

...In the early days of World War III, guerrillas - mostly children - placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone and


the membership of peroxidase. Phyletic analysis shows the monophyletic evolution pattern of peroxidasin in insect phyle, and more over only one peroxidasin is present in each species of insects, suggesting its evolutionary conservation on function. Peroxidasin mRNA is mainly expressed in egg and the final instar larvae stage. Injection of peroxidasin dsRNA into the final instar larvae impacts the cuticle sclerotization during the metamorphosis from larvae to pupa, and eventually lead to lethality of larvae and pupa. These results suggest the presence of collagen crosslink in chorion and cuticle of insect, and indicate peroxidasin play a role in the development of chorion and cuticle, furthermore peroxidasin might be the one of potential target genes for pest control using RNAi.

Image copyright The Gray family Image caption Archie had scalds on both thighs - but no scars

Scott Gray had made a cup of tea at home and left it on the side while playing with his sons, four-year-old Archie and two-year-old Freddie.

Moments later, Archie had knocked the tea off the side and on to himself.

Scott said: "I pulled his trousers and his skin came off too. It was horrendous. It happened so fast. It was only on him for one or two seconds."

Each year hundreds of UK toddlers, like Archie, end up in hospital with severe but avoidable coffee and tea scalds.

But thanks to Scott's quick thinking and action - plunging Archie's legs into cold running water in the bath and keeping him there while the ambulance arrived- Archie's thigh burns could be treated without a skin graft and he's been left with no scars, say surgeons.

Almost half of child admissions to specialised burn NHS services in the past five years in England and Wales, some 17,052, involved children who had been scalded by hot food or liquid spillages.

In 2018, there were 6,645 child admissions to designated specialised burn services in England and Wales.

More than 3,100 of these burns to children involved spillages from hot food or drink, and more than half of these involved children aged two or younger.

Archie, who lives with his family in Berkshire, was treated at the specialist burns unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

His doctor, Mike Tyler, whom Archie and his dad affectionately call Batman because he is their "superhero", said: "This is exactly the type of injury where good first aid with cooling can make a real difference to the outcome. Archie had scalded 5% of his body surface area and typically children with this size of burn may well require a skin grafting operation to the worst-affected areas and some form of lifelong scarring is common. I prepared Archie's parents for this."

But Archie's legs healed well and he was discharged without any scars.

There an ophthalmologist removed his right eye and the pieces of glass. He remained in the hospital for ten days. Later he was fitted with an artificial eye.
*262 Appellant contends that neither the stipulations nor the testimony established that appellee received a general injury in addition to the specific injury to the eye.
In answer to the special issues submitted the jury found that "the injury" was a producing cause of the total incapacity, which began on August 30, 1967, and was permanent. They found that the incapacity was not caused solely by the loss


out pieces of glass hit appellee in or around his right eye. The pieces of glass and the right eye were removed shortly after the accident. There was no direct testimony that the blow to the back of appellee's head caused harm or damage to the physical structure of his body. Appellee testified that after the accident he was semiconscious and bleeding. He remembered going to the first aid station, the Wayside Clinic, and finally to the hospital. He did not describe his symptoms during that period of time. About six hours after the accident he was taken to surgery and thereafter remembered nothing until the next morning.
On the second or third day after surgery his left hand and two fingers began hurting and felt numb. The painextended into his arm and felt like someone was sticking him with a pin. He had headaches which he attributed to the surgery. He had stitches in his nose and around his eye. He was in the hospital ten days. He had "awful headaches" when he got home. His eye was draining. His hand and arm continued to hurt. Two of his fingers are still numb. He still has headaches. When he has headaches he gets dizzy and has a ringing sensation in his ears. This occurs once *263 or more a week depending on the weather. Every time the weather changes his head swells up. He gets tired quicker now than before the accident. His condition is not improving.

work about two and a half months after the accident. One of his fellow employees assists him with heavy work. He is a mill-wright and his work involves such things as moving and installing machinery, welding and running pipe, making ducts and installing them in the ceilings. He had no trouble doing this work before the accident, but has experienced difficulty in doing it since the accident. He can't sit down and rest while at work. His pay has increased from $3.71 an hour at the time of the accident to $4.17 an hour at the time of the trial. He does some overtime work, usually on Saturday.
Billy Umfried, a fellow employee of the appellee, testified that appellee was injured in the accident. He saw blood all overappellee's face. He testified that appellee was a good worker and never made any complaints about his physical condition before the accident. He was able to do high work, close work, and heavy work before the accident. He has observed that since the accident appellee "seems to give out pretty easy." He can't do close work. Umfried testified that he was afraid for appellee to do high work for fear of another accident. He explained that he had tried walking down the hall with one eye closed and that he "wouldn't want to get up in a situation and walk around with one eye." He testified that appellee is not as good a millwright as he was before the accident and in explanation of this statement testified:
"He can't


weld like he used to; he can't seehe can't run no air hammer very long, he can't do no climbingwe build lots of shoots for ink to run into out there and they are real thin and he used to be good at that but he can't build one nowit has to be real close."
Appellee's wife testified that when she arrived at the hospital his hand was bandaged up and his eye was bleedingjust soaking through." When he was able to return home he was "real upset and nervous very timid and wouldn't even go outside and speak to the neighborshis head was ringing and had dizziness and his hand hurted him and everything hurt him * *" After he returned to work he had similar complaints. Histhe end of the day, such an individual would not be doing the usual and customary tasks of a workman at American Can Company.
*264 Dr. John Skogland, a neurologist, had examined Mr. Polasek at the request of the appellant. He testified that appellee told him about the eye injury, but did not mention the blow to his head. Appellee told him that he had right frontal headaches initially, but that the headaches had disappeared. On examining appellee he found that he had an artificial right eye. The vision in the left eye was all right. The other nerves that come off the brainthe cranial nerves that go to the facefunctioned normally. The reflexes were normal. He had no muscle weakness, and his coordination was good. He did not


sway when he stood with his eyes closed and his heels together. Other tests were normal. The doctor found no evidence of neurological injury. Based on the history given him and the result of his examination it was the doctor's opinion that appellee should be able to continue all of his usual occupational pursuits except to the extent that he is handicapped by the loss of vision in his right eye. He testified that dizziness, impairment of vision, easily becoming tired, noises and ringing in the ear, and inability to concentrate can be symptoms of a post-concussion syndrome. He did not think that the ringing in appellee's ears, the dizziness, the headaches, or the numbness in the hand and arm were caused by a blow to his head.
Appellantwhen he went back about twenty inches. He was not knocked down. He was semiconscious. He was taken to a hospital and his right eye was removed that night. He noticed that he had a problem with his arm, hand and finger in the hospital when he "came out from under that dope."
When asked what bothers him other than the loss of his eye, Polasek said "Wellmy hand hurtsthese two fingersthen I get awful headaches; every time the weather changes my head swells up." He didn't tire on the job before the accident, but he does now. The finger problem makes it difficult to hold the heavy tools he works with.
I would hold that the appellee successfully passed the "no evidence" test in establishing that the blow probably


Stephen King is known for consistent themes throughout his work. The biggest would be his vilifying of religious fundamentalism, from Carrie White's mother in his first published novel to Mrs. Carmody in The Mist to Reverend Coggins in Under the Dome. Then there are the vindictive bullies, sadistic in their hounding of the protagonists, from Ace in The Body to Henry Bowers in It. There is, of course, his fascination with writer characters, a way perhaps to transplant himself into his work, done literally when he appears in his The Dark Tower series. But while these are all well-documented, less discussed is a throughline of anti-intellectualism across much of King's work.

As stated in an impressive Rolling Stone article from last year, King has "never had much patience foracademic bullshit." This is in response to a question about the 2012 documentary Room 237 that provided a forum for different theories and interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of King's novel The Shining. King's well-known antipathy toward the movie's fidelity could be one explanation for the negativity, but the truth is this attitude permeates much of his oeuvre, personified by Brent Norton in The Mist (1980), Calvin Tower in The Dark Tower series (those entries released from 1991-2004) and Thurston Marshall in Under the Dome (2009). What King does value, however, is imagination and utilitarian application of knowledge.

Ideas without applicability are just masturbation, and knowledge without imagination can never be wisdom.

In The Mist, Brent Norton is a big city lawyer that had previously filed a lawsuit against neighbor


and audience surrogate David Drayton. After a freak storm the night before, Brent and David temporarily call a truce and go to the supermarket for supplies. When a strange cloud descends upon the town they are trapped in the supermarket, and not long after David witnesses something monstrous pull a bagboy out into the desolation. When David attempts to show Brent, the latter man believes he is the object of a prank in retaliation for the lawsuit and refuses. Almost immediately cracks show, with one of the locals calling Brent a "cheap New York shyster," emphasizing the class rift. Not long after he leads a party outside, in denial that there is anything supernatural taking place. He and his followers are never seen again, their downfall correlating witha reliance on rationality without the benefit of imagination.

Calvin Tower, by contrast, is the lease holder of The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind bookstore, first appearing in The Waste Lands (1991). He also owns the lot containing the Rose, the avatar of the Dark Tower. Over several books Calvin, who is first identified as "a fat guy in an open-throated white shirt", encounters both Jake Chambers and Eddie Dean, gunslingers and members of Roland Deschain's Ka-Tet. They are both disdainful of the man who Eddie believes, in Wolves of the Calla (2003), has "a kind of willful stupidity about him…self-created and maybe propped up by his analyst." His extreme reluctance, selfishness and obsessive addiction to collecting rare books makes him both an asset and a hindrance. Of course


the first thing Eddie does to convince Calvin he is in danger is tell him gangsters will mutilate his testicles, "the old sperm-firm" as Eddie eloquently puts it, implying the importance of masculinity, or Calvin's lack thereof. Calvin does eventually sell the lot and becomes a member of the Tet Corporation's board, but mostly due to the influence of his one friend, Aaron Deepneau. This character embodies a reliance on material possessions and abstract associations made with them.

Finally Thurston Marshall in Under the Dome, a recent character that is played more humorously and achieves a bit of redemption. A "full professor of English (and guest editor for the current issue of Ploughshares)," something he loves to inform people of, he is first introduced as a "Masshole" tourist whohas rented a cabin in the small town of Chester's Mill for a weekend of wanton sex with one of his graduate assistants. Sporting a ponytail and a rotund gut, when the dome drops he finds himself trapped and subsequently abused by resentful townie police. Obstinate and outraged, he is at first a figure of impotent, pacifist ideals. Eventually, however, he reveals positive qualities when he takes in his charge two stranded children and later volunteers at the hospital, having learned medical skills while working as an orderly at a veterans' hospital during the Vietnam War. Consequently, he gets the most sympathy from King when stacked up against main character Dale Barbara, a former Army lieutenant that is reluctantly promoted to colonel during the crisis in Chester's Mill.


control over the world, he walks freely to his death due to his inability to think outside the box.

Against the gunslingers, Calvin Tower's fragile civilized world collapses. Books are a source of comfort for him, and show his cathexis with the past that extends to his unprofitable book shop and the lot the Rose resides in. These possessions have no pragmatic function and hold him back from real living, such as a social life or some works that give back to society. Gunslingers rely on things as well, such as their ancient pistols and certainly the Tower, but their ideals and objects are put to good use as lawmen and the Tower is the last vestige of hope for saving the multiverse. Lofty philosophy and veneration of objectsare only acceptable if they can be put into action for the benefit of others. They are a means to an end, not the end itself.

Thurston is similarly insufferable and possibly morally questionable at first, due to his fling with the much younger Carolyn Sturges, but by two-thirds of the way through Under the Dome has been changed by his experiences. This could very well be as a result of the author's accident in 1999 altering his world view. Taking old knowledge and applying it to helping people at the hospital proves to be so emotionally fulfilling as to make Thurston "happier than he had been in years," with others commenting, "The guy's wasted in some college English department – he should be doing this." This continues King's


view of the satisfaction and obligation of those that can give back using their skills to do so. Dale Barbara, Barbie to his friends, by comparison starts the novel as one of King's working class heroes and never succumbs to manufactured ideas of ego, like military rank or savoir vivre. Instead he uses his in-born skill of understanding human nature, something that benefited him while deployed in the Middle East, in service of the town such as when he helps quell a supermarket riot.

So where does this mindset come from? After all King has lived a stereotypical life of an intelligentsia. Before the publication of Carrie he was a high school English teacher, and even after cementing himself as a professional novelist he taught a college class onhorror that resulted in the non-fiction Danse Macabre. His age, however, and oft-cited oppression as a long-haired youngster in the 1960s do point in the direction of a problem with authority and any power base. Considering his time in that world it makes sense that he would have butted heads with the gatekeepers of academia, and has continued to do so. For instance, in 2003 King won the National Book Foundation's annual award for "distinguished contribution", something Harold Bloom, the acclaimed American literary critic, described in an op-ed for The Boston Globe as, "another low in the shocking process of dumbing down our cultural life."

So if King prides himself on populist writing that appreciates the small town everyman, it makes sense that even his writer characters are as


devoid of pretension as he claims to be. Many of them, from Gordon Lachance in The Body to Bill Denbrough in It, write the same kind of horror and pulp fiction that is King's wheelhouse. One that stands out as drunk on his own grandiosity includes Jack Torrance in The Shining, who struggles with a play after a once-promising career has fizzled, and in the end pays for his arrogance with his life. In this case, his imagination leaves him open to the Overlook Hotel's manipulations, but it's his pride and entitlement that brings about his destruction. A man must be humble, says King, and put others before himself. If all of these writers are variations on the same type, then King must be their template. He justifiestheir possibly pretentious livelihoods the same way he would his own, portraying them as folksy storytellers in touch with the common man. Even so, King is self-depreciating of himself and his profession, and this is never more evident than in the latter two Dark Tower books.

He first shows up in the sixth book, Song of Susannah (2004), although he is hinted at earlier on with Eddie Dean remembering the movie The Shining as early as The Drawing of the Three, as a successful author in 1977. "[P]udgy in the middle" and "rather stooped", he has been putting off continuing The Gunslinger out of a fear he doesn't understand. Eddie Dean and Roland are nonplussed by him, although Eddie worries after seeing a fridge full of beer that, "Writers


liked to drink." Under hypnosis King admits he is no writer but a channel for Gan, the creator of the universe and spirit of the Dark Tower, or maybe even is Gan. The younger man states, "I know that there are writers who do write, but I'm not one of them." Roland tells King to listen for the song of the Turtle, one of the guardians of the beams that hold up the Dark Tower, as King can only write when he is inspired.

By the final book, The Dark Tower (2004), however, the older King has changed his opinion on himself and writers in general. Once again Roland encounters King, this time on June 19, 1999, saving King on the day he was, in reality, struck by aSam's Club 'Lowest Prices of the Season' Event: iPhone 6s for $99, $150 Off iPad Air 2 64GB

The order came on a PIL filed by Joshi, an advocate and a resident of Garuda in Bageshwar district.

It was contended in the PIL that liquor sold under government protection is affecting lives in the state.

Many households have been destroyed by the social evil and no compensation has been made for casualties, diseases and accidents caused by alcohol consumption, the PIL said.

In Uttar Pradesh, the Excise Act, 1910, was amended by the UP government through 37A in 1978, but the Uttarakhand government did not implement this amendment. Even after 19 years of the creation of the state, no preventive steps have been taken towards prohibition of alcohol through this provision, the PIL submitted.

On the contrary, the state government has registered an


increasing number of shops in the name of revenue. The Excise Policy of 2019 gives special power to the District Magistrate to ensure that no area of the district is deprived of a liquor store, it said.

The government for its part assured the court that in the year 2002, many restrictions had been imposed in the Excise Policy which were being duly followed.

For instance, alcohol has been banned in religious places of the state including Haridwar, Rishikesh, Chardham, Purnagiri and Piran Kaliyar. Prescribed distance from school, college and temple mosque has also been maintained.

Describing the verdict as historic, senior advocate VP Nautiyal, appearing for the petitioner, said the court has given the government six months to formulate a policy to implement the provisions of 37A.

"The high court hasKerry warns Syria's Assad

Tensions are rising along Syria's borders as government forces battle to regain control of a strategic border town from rebel fighters.

An exchange of fire between Syrian and Israeli forces on the Golan Heights lent weight to warnings the civil war could become a regional conflict. It is feared this could draw in Israel and Iran, which sponsors the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah, and harden the fault line between Shiite-ruled nations backing President Bashar al-Assad's regime and Sunni-led Arab nations that support the rebels.

US Secretary of State John Kerry flew to Jordan for a meeting of the Friends of Syria group of nations in Amman on Wednesday, to press leaders from 10 other nations to back a US-Russian effort to end the conflict with peace talks


next month.

Intense fighting continued for a third day in Qusayr, held since February by the Free Syrian Army.

The border town of 25,000 has been a key rebel supply route. Videos filmed by activists showed the now familiar images of streets reduced to rubble, residents digging for survivors and the bloodied bodies of children. At least 64 civilians had been killed and hundreds wounded, local activists said.

Although Syrian state media reported gains by government troops, with support from Hezbollah, it was clear they also suffered significant losses. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights indicated at least 31 Hezbollah fighters had died.

The US has expressed concern about Hezbollah's involvement.

''It is the most visible effort we haveto argue for military intervention by the West - a move Ms Yacoubian said would only result in more civilian deaths and casualties.

The obvious presence of Hezbollah fighters alongside Assad regime forces did, however, mark a turning point, said Shlomo Brom, a senior research associate at the Institute for National Security Studies and a retired Israel Defence Forces brigadier-general.

''Hezbollah have been helping the regime for a long time but … this is a new thing. Their involvement earlier was not so blatant,'' he said.

Israeli forces returned fire into Syria after a military jeep was damaged by shots fired overnight, prompting armed forces chief Lieutenant-General Benny Gantz to warn Dr Assad: ''If he disturbs the Golan Heights, he will have to bear the consequences.''

perhaps, two years older than Cynthia.

Leroy Hill (hamstring) and Malcolm Smith (groin) came out of Sunday night’s game with injuries, and the next-man-up at weakside linebacker is Mike Morgan, who started one game and played most of the second on the strongside for K.J. Wright earlier this season.

Carroll expects Marcus Trufant to practice on Wednesday after missing the past four games with a hamstring injury. But he is not sure if Walter Thurmond will be able to return by then. Thurmond has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury.

PLAYER WATCH

Jermaine Kearse. Signed as a free agent in April after the NFL Draft, the rookie free agent from the University of Washington was released Aug. 31 on the roster cut to 53 players. He was thenIII. Wilson’s 101.5 passer rating in the fourth quarter is seventh in the league and his 92.4 rating on third downs in eighth. With 25 TD passes, he is ninth in the league, tops among rookie QBs and one shy of Peyton Manning’s league record for a rookie QB.

Leon Washington remains second in the league in kickoff return average (30.1), while Jon Ryan is sixth in the league in net punting average (41.6) and tied for 10th in punts inside the 20 (28).

Middle linebacker Bobby Wagner leads the team with 130 tackles, which is six shy of the single-season club record for a rookie set by Terry Beeson on 1977. Special teams co-captains Heath Farwell (15) and Michael Robinson (10) lead the team in coverage tackles.

game first in the NFL in scoring defense. Russell Wilson had the first four-touchdown-pass day of his exploding career, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 111 yards, and the Seahawks, with a crowd so loud that NBC sideline reporter Michele Tafoya had to scream into Pete Carroll’s ear to be heard before the game, continued on the NFL’s best three-game offensive run since 1950.” – King in his “Monday Morning Quarterback” at SI.com

A recap of the Seahawks’ 58-0 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at CenturyLink Field on Sunday:

PLAYERS OF THE GAME

The entire Seahawks team. With a franchise-record 58 points, there was one for each of the 46 players who were active – with bonus points for leading rusher Marshawn Lynch (three touchdowns), cornerback Richard Sherman (two interceptions and a fumblesince going 10-6 in 2007.

“You work so hard, and so often the games don’t afford you that opportunity. For everybody to play, everybody to contribute, so many guys can get on the stats sheets and all that stuff – and contribute – it’s really very positive.”

PLAYS OF THE GAME

Offense: The last, and longest, of Lynch’s three touchdown runs. It came on a third-and-4 play early in the second half. It covered 33 yards. It allowed him to tie his career-best for TDs in a game. It was the last of his three carries in the seven-play, 86-yard drive, when he gained 59 of his 128 yards. It was his last carry of the game, and put him at 1,266 for the season – surpassing his single-season rushing best


the Chiefs in overtime in 1983.

The 58-0 score also is the largest margin of victory in franchise history, topping 45-0 against the Chiefs in 1984 and 42-0 against the Eagles in 2005.

The Seahawks’ six takeaways in the first half was a franchise record and their eight for the game ties for second-most behind the 10 they had against the Browns in 1981.

With Lynch rushing for 128 yards and rookie Robert Turbin adding 108, the Seahawks had two 100-yard rushers in a game for the first time since 2005 – when Shaun Alexander (141) and Maurice Morris (104) did it against the Texans.

The Seahawks’ 284 rushing yards were the fourth-highest total in franchise history. They had 320 in that 2005 game against the Texans; 319 in a 2001 gameagainst the Raiders; and 298 in a 1986 game against the Broncos.

Lynch’s 100-yard effort was his seventh of the season, one more than his previous high from last season.

With his 128 yards coming on only 11 carries, Lynch also set a franchise record for rushing average (11.6). The previous record was held by Sherman Smith, who now coaches the team’s running backs. He averaged 8.9 yards in a game against the Falcons in 1976.

With his 20th TD pass of the season, Russell Wilson tied the mark for third-most by a rookie QB. Peyton Manning had 26 and Cam Newton 21. Andy Dalton and Dan Marino also threw 20. And Wilson has three games left.

Wilson’s second-quarter interception was his first at home this season.

Returning from their run at the 2019 Overwatch World Cup, AVRL sits down with team New Zealand’s Equinox, Signed, and Noxious to talk about their journey through BlizzCon.

Barely a fortnight ago, team New Zealand shipped out on a Tuesday evening under a cool spring breeze, heading to the biggest event that many in the team had ever been to. With a calm temperament, the players and staff boarded for a destination that had culminated the hopes and dreams of all those who had come before it.

August 2017. Team New Zealand lands in LAX to represent the nation for the preliminary of the biggest international event of the year. That event was none other than the Santa Monica Group Stage of the 2017 Overwatch World Cup, an event thathurdles teams are required to navigate through in order to find effective practice. But despite having to work through difficulties, the team was optimistic about their chances. Going into this year’s World Cup, New Zealand remained among several other teams that despite having participated in previous years, were yet to claim their first international victory. It was abundantly clear from the start of the campaign that this team had plans to change that.

In terms of setting goals for the event, coach Noxious had admirably stated that they were aiming to achieve top two in their group. An aspiration shared by the team in particular as the official bracket was drawn for the preliminary stage. That knockout bracket in question, released the day before the opening World Cup match


was to be played, detailed the exact premise of the opening stage of the event.

Twenty eight teams would be split across five single elimination knockout groups. From the preliminaries only one team from each group would progress to the Top 10, joining the likes of prequalified teams such as South Korea and the United States for the next stage. In order to get there, New Zealand would have to battle through Austria, Australia, Denmark and Taiwan (Chinese Taipei), all of whom were drawn into group A.

“As the team rapidly developed and as brackets were being released, I quickly gained more confidence and knew the team could perform well,” Equinox stated alongside a confident Signed who revealed that “when we saw the bracket we knew we could beat Austriaand Australia,” a claim that would be tested within 12 hours of the team’s official bracket announcement as New Zealand would face Austria at the top of the morning in one of the opening matches of the 2019 Overwatch World Cup.

At 9:00 am local time the next day, New Zealand took their gloves off for their first official World Cup match in two years – and it was short.

Group A – Game 1 results:

🇦🇹 0⃣ @TeamAustriaOW

🇳🇿 New Zealand advances, facing 🇦🇺 Australia in the next round! pic.twitter.com/bYWv4TbC16 — OWWCTracker (@OWWCTracker) October 31, 2019

Suffice to say New Zealand were living up to their expectations insofar as breaking the losing streak of the past. In comparison to his last run with the 2017 team, Signed voiced that “we


international results from past performances. Those results included four total appearances across all four years the World Cup had taken place, two podium finishes at group stages leading to two qualifications to the main BlizzCon playoff stage, falling short only at the quarterfinals. Needless to say Australia was a strong favourite not only in this matchup, but in the group itself.

Team New Zealand knew this was likely going to be the stumbling point for their 2019 run. Both teams were very familiar with the other sharing a joint Contenders region in their home setting. Outside of the World Cup, Noxious is the coach of the historic Sydney Drop Bears who’ve held three consecutive Contenders titles across 2018. On the opposite side was coach Sam “Face” Merewether as Noxious’riding on that match and it would’ve been amazing if we won.”

Australia would go on to suffer a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Denmark, who themselves had narrowly missed the playoffs in 2018 after an upsetting loss to Sweden on the last day of the Bangkok group stage. From that context, both Australia and New Zealand could take solace in knowing that another darkhorse team who had fallen short of playoffs for two years running would go on to have one of the most successful World Cup runs in recent history as an underdog country.

The 2019 World Cup would end as a watershed moment in international Overwatch history. South Korea would be toppled for the first time in four years. Team USA would finally become World Cup


the 69-year-old had not obtained the army's approval to run for president and accused him of seeking to divide the armed forces and citizens of Egypt.

Speaking to Al Jazeera before Anan was arrested, Kaldas said the Sisi government has "made it so untenable and so undesirable and so dangerous to run" for president today, that it is "fairly discouraging for anybody who would seriously entertain" the idea.

He also said the Egyptian government appears unconcerned by whether anyone views the election as credible.

"The question is: what's worse, a convincing sham, or one that's transparently a sham?" Kaldas said.

'A show'

The election is set to take place from March 26-28. Presidential hopefuls have until January 29 to collect enough signatures to officially submit their candidacies.

A runoff vote will be held inthe now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood movement.

But in the weeks leading up to the 2018 elections, multiple media reports have suggested that would-be opposition candidates were under pressure to drop out of the race.

"It's going to be a show," said Nezar AlSayyad, an Egyptian historian and the former head of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of California-Berkeley, about the polls.

AlSayyad told Al Jazeera he expects the Sisi camp to "allow two or three people to run" for president, but it will "absolutely make sure that these people have absolutely no chance of even scoring a few percentage points".

Crackdown on opposition

Last week, Anan announced he would run for president only hours after el-Sisi had confirmed he was seeking re-election.

"I call on civilian and military institutions to maintain


neutrality towards everyone who had announced their intention to run and not take unconstitutional sides of a president who will leave his post in a few months," Anan said.

He also named Hisham Geneina, the former head of Egypt's anti-corruption watchdog, as part of his election team.

Amr Khalifa, an Egyptian journalist and political analyst, told Al Jazeera that the lead-up to the election has been "incredibly well-organised theatre".

Khalifa said he expected el-Sisito "win [the election] quite handily", not least because of recent events "where he has obliterated those within the inner circles that he views to be problematic" to winning a second term in power.

The political atmosphere in Egypt has left the country without any real opposition, he said.

Egypt has seen an unprecedented crackdown on human rights activists sinceparticipation and freedom of expression" in Egypt.

"It appears that Sami Anan has been detained because he was widely considered to be a serious contender" against Sisi, said Najia Bounaim, Amnesty's director of North Africa campaigns.

"This is not the first time such a contender has been prevented from running against the incumbent."

Indeed, a handful of presidential hopefuls have abandoned their campaigns in recent weeks.

Former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik's plan to run was short-lived after he withdrew his potential candidacy earlier this month. "I saw that I would not be the ideal person to lead the state during the coming period," Shafik said in a statement posted on Twitter.

One of Shafik's lawyers accused the Egyptian government of putting pressure on the 76-year-old by threatening to re-investigate previous corruption allegations against


him, the New York Times reported.

Khaled Ali, an opposition leader who ran in the 2012 presidential polls, also announced his intention to run this time around, but he faces a suspended jail term that could hamper his ability to even present his formal candidacy.

The human rights lawyer was sentenced to three months in prison for "offending public decency" after he allegedly made an obscene gesture during a protest against Egypt's decision to cede control over two islands to Saudi Arabia.

A hearing in his appeal against that sentence was recently adjourned. "They are [fabricating videos] against me because I am the lawyer of workers," Ali told a judge during an appeal hearing on January 4, according to the Egypt Independent newspaper.

"This case was fabricated because I plan running forpresident," he said.

In December, Ahmed Konsowa, an Egyptian army colonel, was sentenced to six years in prison after he announced his intention to run for president. Konsowa was charged with "stating political opinions contrary to the requirements of military order", his lawyer said.

Another high-profile potential candidate, Mohamed Anwar el-Sadat, the nephew of Egypt's assassinated former president, Anwar Sadat, also recently cancelled his campaign.

A spokesperson for el-Sadat's campaign told Reuters that at least three Cairo hotels reportedly refused to rent el-Sadat a space from which to officially launch his candidacy and printers refused to print his campaign manifesto.

"It's a systematic campaign to kill off candidates. I call it a political assassination process," Osama Badie told the news agency.

posterior representation, but also local cortical expansion resulting in relocation of representations and the modification of other language-related pathways. The present study sought to critically reassess some of these suggestions.

Human AF was left lateralized both in its body volume and in its cortical representation, but left lateralization of the latter was most obvious in ventrolateral frontal and temporal cortex. This pattern was markedly different to that of the ventral language pathway. As previously established (cf. [@bib32]), the AF invaded the middle and inferior temporal lobe in the human, but stayed dorsally in the macaque. The expansion of the AF in the human as compared to the macaque was evident by the ratio of brain volume of the AF and of the ventral IFO.

With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad on the horizon, the DC Expanded Universe is set to evolve in a big way next year. The film that kicked it off was 2013’s Man of Steel, and although it was financially successful it has also proven to be one of the more divisive comic book films in recent memory.

The decision to have Superman (Henry Cavill) kill General Zod (Michael Shannon) to save a family in the film’s destructive finale was a particular point of contention, sparking quite the reaction from journalists and fans alike. While speaking with Nerdist, Man of Steel writer David Goyer weighed in on the issue. "The way I work, the way Chris [Nolan,


WELCOME ADDRESS -- PRESIDENT

Dear Esteemed Members,

Greetings.

The following is the anamnesis of issues/activities after assuming the post of President, Indian Psychiatric Society. In the first Executive Committee meeting, I assured all the members that transparency would be maintained in all the issues and requested the members to come with the initiatives for the betterment of the society without incurring expenses to the society. Various committees were formed and to support the excellence in clinical standards and practice, the clinical software development committee was entrusted with the idea of bringing out a software for use of Psychiatrists in academics and practice. The software would be released at Hyderabad ANCIPS 2015.

To have Psychiatry as an examination subject, the Scientific Committee met the MCI officials and voiced our concern. In spite ofbackdrop of the Musi River on one side and the Hussain Sagar lake on the other, the modern techno-city of Hyderabad is now the common capital of two states, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and will be the fascinating venue of ANCIPS 2015. As a bustling metropolis of 6.8 million urbanites, it has a mix of modern and historical landmarks. Known as a 'Princely State' during the British rule, it is famous for various landmarks and monuments dedicated to and built by The Nizams of Hyderabad. The most famous of these, the Charminar, symobilizies the end of the Plague, and stands as a global icon for the city. Nicknamed the City of Pearls, due to the history of it being the global trading center for pearls in the early


18^th^ century, it has a bustling trade even today in jewelry, specifically in pearls and diamonds and also gold.

As a city for tourists, its other famous attractions besides the Charminar are the the Golkonda fort, the Chowmahalla Palace, the Salar Jung Museum and the Mecca Masjid. The city is also filled with parks and recreational places such as a the NTR Gardens, the KVR Botanical Gardens, Lumbini Park. Modern multistore malls are also a specialty of the city like the GVK One mall, Inorbitz Mall, etc. Since the city features the second largest producers of film and movies in India, the Ramoji Film City is the ideal home for Tollywood and recently made its way into the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest film studio inin the Cockrell School of Engineering and a member of The University of Texas at Austin's Texas Materials Institute, has confirmed the existence of a phase transition at a temperature close to absolute zero degrees, higher than the temperature needed for many superconductors, in copper-oxide-based (or cuprate) superconductive materials. The team believes that it could be during this phase transition, the "quantum critical point," when superconductivity actually occurs. The findings were published in a recent issue of the journal Nature.

The study measured the effects of heat on two cuprate systems known to be superconductors: Eu-LSCO and Nd-LSCO, both copper-oxide-based crystal systems. The two materials were cooled to their critical temperature points while large magnetic fields were used to suppress their superconductivity. The resulting thermodynamic signatures produced through the


Donald Trump Jr. reported for jury duty Wednesday at Manhattan Supreme Court, where he snapped selfies with waiting prospective jurors, witnesses said.

The president’s eldest son fulfilled his civic duty at 100 Centre St. in Lower Manhattan and fiddled with his phone before being called in for a 2016 attempted robbery case before Justice Michael Obus.

During the hour-long lunch break, he took the stairs down 13 floors and headed for a bite at Forlini’s, a favorite courthouse haunt on nearby Baxter Street. He ordered the chicken parmigiana for lunch.

“He was pretty basic looking. He was called in with the other 80 people,” one juror told The Post. “The lady called his name twice and he was hesitant to say ‘here.’ You could hear it in his voice.”

Wearing a graysweater and khakis, Trump Jr. took photos with jurors and shook their hands in the jury room on the 15th floor, another juror said.

He also kept busy on Twitter, retweeting posts about his father, including one of a story saying Trump was more popular than Obama.

Trump Jr. was eventually sent two floors down to Obus’ courtroom, where he sat in the first row flanked by Secret Service with his arms stretched across the bench.

At times, he appeared bored, yawning and raking his hand through his hair as lawyers in the attempted robbery case began questioning prospective jurors for voir dire.

Members of Secret Service were waiting outside the courtroom as well as the courthouse.

Towson, MD – A recently uploaded video of police violently arresting an unarmed teenager is raising public scrutiny amid the national debate over officer’s use of force.

The video, which was uploaded on Saturday, shows the brutal arrest of 19-year-old Dickinson College student, Zachary Blumenstein and the tense aftermath that followed.

The incident began around 2 am at the Greene Turtle Tavern on York St. According to police spokesperson Elise Armacost, approximately 40 minutes before the incident transpired, Blumenstein was seen having an argument with another patron. After officers later witnessed the teenager shoving another person, they stepped into arrest him. The incident that transpired was caught on film by a bystander and uploaded to youtube.

As the video begins, Zachary can be seen on the ground with anofficer on top of him. Within seconds, another officer approaches and appears to try and stomp on the teenagers head. Moments later a third officer jumps into the fray and after a brief struggle, one of the officers unleashes a torrent of fists to the teen’s head, striking him, at least, six times. The officer then proceeds to aggressively grind his knee into the teenagers head forcing it into the pavement. During the struggle officers also stated that they pepper sprayed the teen twice.

As soon as the teenager is subdued and placed in handcuffs, one officer jumps up and begins to try and intimidate innocent bystanders yelling at them to “Get off the sidewalk” and “Go Home” despite the fact that no one in the crowd was impeding


Before Meeko the raccoon and Flit the hummingbird came along, Pocahontas told her troubles to a talking turkey named Redfeather. Redfeather was voiced by John Candy and was to have provided much of the film's comic relief.

John Candy's death in 1994 may not have helped matters, but much of Redfeather's dialogue had already been recorded prior to the comedian's untimely demise. What really spelled doom for Redfeather was the decision to rework 'Pocahontas' into a more dramatic film, with older lead characters, a serious romance and no talking animals.dominant, Texas A&M wasn't far behind (at the start of the year), LSU was nearby, and Arkansas was only floating around .500 because of round-robin play. All seven West teams spent a portion of the year in the F/+ top 20.

Six are still in the top 20. Alabama fell from first to third by losing to new No. 1 Ohio State. Ole Miss fell from fourth to seventh after getting its doors blown off by new No. 4 TCU. Mississippi State fell from sixth to 12th after getting run over (and around, and through) by new No. 6 Georgia Tech. Auburn fell one spot after losing a tight game to No. 17 Wisconsin. LSU somehow managed to move up two spots after losing a heartbreaker to No. 35


survived Auburn, and Michigan State unleashed a hellacious, three-touchdown comeback in the fourth quarter to knock off Baylor. Minnesota still lost to Missouri, but... that's a good day!

Of course, outside of January 1, the conference only went 2-4, with Illinois (against Louisiana Tech), Maryland (Stanford), and Iowa (Tennessee) all losing by 17 or more points. And for the season as a whole, the conference was still probably the weakest of the power conferences.

The Big Ten can have January 1, but maybe the unexpected winner for the rest of the season was the ACC. The conference went only 5-6 in bowl play, and its champion got its doors blown off by Oregon in the Rose Bowl. But from top to bottom, this was a deep, underrated conference in 2014.

Georgia Tech finishes the year sixth in F/+; Clemson's complete destruction of Oklahoma moved the Tigers all the way to ninth; and Florida State still comes in at 10th despite the Oregon loss. The conference boasts the nation's best offense (Georgia Tech) and two of the top six; the best defense (Clemson) and two of the top four; and eight top-35 teams. Its standing is aided by the Pac-12's early underachievement, I think, but second place (in the table above) is still second place.

3. Hello to you, too, Conference USA

Before 2013, the former Big East (now the American Athletic Conference) plucked away a good number of teams from Conference USA, and in turn, CUSA invaded the Sun Belt. The result was a pretty mediocre conference in 2013,


of the 13 biggest overachievers (Tennessee, Arkansas), and the Big 12's averages were dragged down significantly by Oklahoma State (projected 17th, finished 67th) and Texas Tech (projected 43rd, finished 77th).

It has been a unique year -- not quite as thrilling top-to-bottom as the 2013 season, but as with every season, it has had its moments. January 1 was awesome, though, and hopefully we will be talking about a phenomenal championship game this time next week.the proprotors provide forward thrust. In this manner, tiltrotor aircraft combine the vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of fixed-wing aircraft. Tiltrotor aircraft, however, typically suffer from downwash inefficiencies during vertical takeoff and landing due to interference caused by the fixed wing.
A further example of a VTOL aircraft is a tiltwing aircraft that features a rotatable wing that is generally horizontal for forward flight and rotates to a generally vertical orientation for vertical takeoff and landing. Propellers are coupled to the rotating wing to provide the required vertical thrust for takeoff and landing and the required forward thrust to generate lift from the wing during forward flight. The tiltwing design enables the slipstream from the propellers to strike the wing on its smallest

Lee Pomeroy, would have been 52 yesterday, but died on Friday afternoon when he was stabbed in the neck during a brief argument with a fellow passenger on a train in Surrey.

Mr Pomeroy, an IT consultant, who lived with his wife, Svetlana, and teenage son in Guildford, was described as an honourable man who was always willing to help those in trouble.

In a statement, his devastated family said: “Lee took his son on a trip to London hoping to spend some quality time with him which was cut short by an horrific and pointless attack.

The statement went on: “Lee would

William Arnold Ridley was born in Walcot, Bath, Somerset, England, the son of Rosa Caroline Morrish (1870–1956) and William Robert Ridley (1871–1931).[3] His father was a gymnastics instructor and ran a boot and shoe shop. He attended the Clarendon School and the Bath City Secondary School where he was a keen sportsman. A graduate of the University of Bristol, he studied at the Education Department, and played Hamlet in a student production. Ridley undertook teaching practice at an Elementary School in Bristol.[4]

Ridley was a student teacher and had made his theatrical debut in Prunella at the Theatre Royal, Bristol, when he volunteered for British Army service in August 1914, upon the outbreak of the First World War. He was rejected due to a toe injury, but in 1915


was able to enlist as a private in the Somerset Light Infantry. He saw active service in the war, sustaining several serious injuries: his left hand was left virtually useless by injuries sustained on the Somme;[5][6] his legs were riddled with shrapnel; he was bayonetted in the groin; and the legacy of a blow to the head by a German soldier's rifle butt left him prone to blackouts.[7] He was medically discharged from the army with the rank of captain.

After his medical discharge in 1916, Ridley went into acting. In 1918, he joined Birmingham Repertory Theatre, staying for two years and playing 40 parts, before moving on to Plymouth, where he eventually had a break from the stage when his war injuries began to trouble him.

After being strandedfor an evening at Mangotsfield railway station, near Bristol, Ridley was inspired to write the play The Ghost Train (1923).[7] It was a tale of passengers stranded at a haunted railway station in Cornwall, with one of the characters being a detective trying to catch smugglers. The show became a huge success, enjoying 665 performances in London's West End and two revivals. The Ghost Train was first filmed in 1931 and again in 1941 when it starred Arthur Askey. Ridley also wrote more than 30 other plays including The Wrecker (1924), Keepers of Youth (1929), The Flying Fool (1929) and Recipe for Murder (1932).[14][15]

Ridley worked regularly as an actor, including an appearance in the British comedy Crooks in Cloisters (1964). He also played Doughy Hood, the village baker,


in the radio soap opera The Archers and the Rev. Guy Atkins in the ITV soap Crossroads from the programme's inception in 1964 until 1968. However, he became a household name only after he was cast as Private Godfrey, the gentle platoon medic in the popular British comedy Dad's Army (1968–1977). He continued to appear into his 80s, and was appointed an OBE in the 1982 Queen's New Year Honours List, for services to the theatre.

He was manager of the Leas Pavilion Theatre in Folkestone in the 1970s, writing, directing and producing a number of plays for the rep company based there.

Ridley was married three times. His first marriage lasted from January 1926 to 1939, and was followed by a short marriage beginning in 1939[19] before his finalmarriage to actress Althea Parker (1911–2001) on 3 October 1945;[20] they had one son, Nicolas (b 1947).[21] Ridley died in hospital in Northwood in 1984 at the age of 88 after falling at his residence in Denville Hall, a home for retired actors.[22] He was cremated at the Golders Green Crematorium and his urn buried at his parents' grave in Bath Abbey Cemetery.[7] His collection of theatrical memorabilia was left to the University of Bristol and has been made available online.[23][24]


should balance between understanding the modern industrial exposures and health risks of traditional sectors like agriculture and plantations. Lack of education, unawareness of hazards in one\'s occupation, general backwardness in sanitation, poor nutrition and climatic proneness to epidemics aggravate worker\'s health hazards in the work environment. Despite the existence of law that prohibits a paid work from children under the age of 14 years, an estimated 70-115 million children are part of the Indian workforce. Child labour in the agriculture sector accounts for 80% of child labourers in India and 70% of working children globally.([@CIT5])

Occupational health in India has to compete with primaryA 19-YEAR-OLD national title holding surf life saver has died after being hit by his own ski while competing in rough conditions off the Gold Coast.

Paramedics attempted to resuscitate Australian Surf Life Saving Championships competitor Saxon Bird on Kurrawa Beach and continued CPR while he was transported to Gold Coast Hospital by ambulance.

But he died in hospital on Friday afternoon, officials said.

The teenager's surf ski washed onto the beach around 11.30am (AEST) on Friday during the under-19 ironman event.

After an air and sea search of a one kilometre section of the beach Bird was located by a fellow life saver less than an hour later.

The championships has been suspended and a decision will be made by Saturday morning on whether they continue.

A strong rip is running along the


water's edge about 10 metres out from the sand, with waves between 1.5 and two metres.

Organisers deemed conditions at Kurrawa safe enough to go ahead with the event on Friday, despite two people being injured in rough conditions at the surf carnival this week.

At 3pm, Surf Life Saving Australia held a press conference to confirm the tragic death.

"The Surf Life Saving community is grieving the loss of one it’s rising stars who started with the Association as an eight year old nipper.

"The Surf Life Saving community is deeply affected and our thoughts are with the family, friends and club mates."

Bird was a member of the NSW surf life saving high performance team and has taken a number of national titles over the past four years.

Morrell never received that posted notice, and after she failed to enter an appearance, Howell moved for a default judgment. At a hearing on Howell's motion, New Mexico Judge Anne Kass ordered that Morrell be served by personal service and ordered her to appear in court on the day following service. That order was served on Morrell by hand delivery in El Paso, and when she failed to appear the next day, Judge Kass entered the following order:

IT IS FOUND IN OPEN COURT:

Respondent was personally


David Morrell secured a job in Illinois, and the Morrells moved there with Joshua.

Howell then traveled to Illinois and filed the New Mexico order with the Will County Circuit Court clerk. Howell appeared that same day on an emergency motion before the Will County Circuit Court and requested enforcement of the New Mexico order by way of a body attachment (a civil writ ordering the seizure of a person). The Illinois judge refused to issue the writ without notice to Stacey Morrell. Undeterred, Howell went to the Will County State's Attorney's office and spoke to defendant Judy DeVriendt, an assistant state's attorney. DeVriendt telephoned the local police and told them to take custody of Joshua pursuant to the New Mexico order. When the local police went to Staceyany other orders or judgments involving these parties had been filed in Will County, and directed his subordinates to verify that the New Mexico order had not been vacated. Mock concluded that the New Mexico order was valid and directed DeVriendt to have the Will County Sheriff's Department pick up the child and give him to Howell.

Defendant Richard Ackerson, an investigator with the Will County Sheriff's Department, was assigned to the case. According to Ackerson, DeVriendt showed him the New Mexico order and paperwork from the Indiana action, told him that the New Mexico order had been validated by an Illinois judge, and directed him to arrest Morrell if she did not cooperate. Acting on her instructions, Ackerson and two deputy sheriffs, defendants Richard Holman and Keith Ploense,


went to the Morrells' home. As she had when the police visited a few days earlier, Morrell showed the sheriff's deputies the paperwork from the Indiana action. She also asked them to speak by telephone with her lawyer in Indiana, who told them that the Indiana action had "superceded" the New Mexico order. Ackerson replied that he had instructions to serve the New Mexico order, which was the only one that had been "validated" in Illinois. Morrell gave Joshua to the deputies--after being threatened with arrest if she refused--and the deputies gave the eight-month-old infant to Howell. Howell immediately returned to South Carolina with Joshua.

Later that day, Morrell appeared before another judge in Will County, who ordered Mock to retrieve the baby. Joshua was reunited with his mothera body attachment compels a different conclusion. Mock had no knowledge of the basis for the judge's denial, and the judge's failure to issue an order was not obviously inconsistent with enforcement of the New Mexico order, given Mock's interpretation that an order from an Illinois judge was not required.

Morrell also contends that the order was, on its face, a "constitutional abomination," and so it should have been obvious to the defendants that it could not be enforced. The only alleged procedural deficiency apparent from the face of the order was the fact that it was entered ex parte after Morrell failed to appear the day after personal service. Morrell has pointed to no cases holding that a single day's notice is, under these circumstances, constitutionally inadequate, and


In late November 2004, the French national Women''s Studies association (ANEF), like dozens of other feminist organizations and research centers in France and around the world, wrote to the President of the University of Toulouse-le-Mirail to protest the hiring of Daniel Welzer-Lang for the Gender Studies sociology professorship in Work, Gender and Society. Daniel Welzer-Lang had been an associate professor at this university since 1995. This full professorship was explicitly created to reinforce the Simone-SAGESSE Research Center and its ability to incorporate and advise doctoral students. However, in July 2003, Daniel Welzer-Lang had been suspended from
Simone-SAGESSE, and he had been asked repeatedly to explain his professional ethics and practices; instead, he chose to resign in September 2003, and to officially apply to, and join a different research centerat the University (in sociology, CERS-CNRS), all the while declaring that he intended to leave Toulouse in the near future.

In Women's Studies circles, the collective protest against Daniel Welzer-Lang's promotion for "disagreements around issues of professional ethics" may have seemed like a euphemism, since several written and oral testimonials describe this professor's sexual harassment, moral harassment, abuse of authority, and violation of human dignity, targeting students, and employees working on research contracts under his
authority, either at the university or in the "Traboules" association.

In October 1998, several students declared that they were "invited" to his home and were subjected to sexual propositions. Our Toulouse colleagues reprimanded Daniel Welzer-Lang; however given that no formal legal charges were brought against him by these students, and due to the absence of clear


disciplinary procedures
within the university, Simone-Sagesse members accepted his promises to amend his ways. Why did it take a new spate of collective denunciations by Simone-Sagesse doctoral students at the Center to measure the extent to which Welzer-Lang's teaching and management of research contracts seems to have violated women's dignity and
intimacy? Indeed, it was only in July 2003 that members of the Simone-SAGESSE Center decided, after long internal debate, to suspend Daniel Welzer-Lang. This decision became inevitable as new testimonies came to light describing pressures resembling sexual and moral harassment, and their long-term effects as well as potential
handicaps to the students' university career and personal well-being. Some of those who spoke out have dropped out of the university; others have changed institutions and/or advisors. None of them have emergedHis head hit the thick stack of paper with a thump and then quickly sprung back up. He leaned back in the black swivel chair and flexed open his eyelids until the back of his head throbbed. The pain felt like his brains were being sucked out of his skull through a straw. He massaged his temples in a slow, clockwise motion. The comfort of his bed waiting above had summoned him, and after a long, difficult fight, he finally surrendered.

Isaac headed upstairs. First, he checked on his nine-month-old daughter, Amy, and then tiptoed into his bedroom, careful not to wake his wife. Linda Winters slept on her right side with her hands snuggled between her cheek and pillow. She was wearing a white silk nightgown Isaac had


out of bed and removed a loaded nine millimeter from the bedside drawer. Then he woke his wife and told her to lock the bedroom door, call 911, and stay quiet until he returned. Linda didn’t bother to ask why; the gun in her husband’s hand was all the answer she needed. She did as he ordered and locked the door after he left the bedroom.

The baby’s cries increased.

Isaac inched through the dark upstairs hall, holding the gun out in front of him with his right index finger cradling the trigger. As he came to the staircase on the left, he pressed his back against the inner wall and sidestepped the remaining distance. Then he rolled from behind the corner and pointed the black firearm down the lengthof stairs.

Clear.

With the stairs behind him, he opened the door to Amy’s room and hurried over to the crib. She appeared to be fine, like him, she had just woken suddenly. He twisted the knob on the mobile suspended over the crib then listened as Brahms Lullaby chimed and the small stuffed giraffe, elephant, and tiger slowly revolved counterclockwise.

Amy quieted.

Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed.

He turned the small screw lock from inside the door before shutting it. Then he walked back to the center of the hall and crept down the old wooden staircase. A subtle peeling sound, like tape being removed very slowly, came with each lift of his bare feet from the hardwood. When he reached the second stair from the


bottom, he saw a giant shadow dance across the opposing wall of the living room. The shadow stopped for a brief moment and then smoothed into the darkness.

His hands were now sweating and the gun felt slick and heavy. He turned left from the bottom step and saw the broken window in the dining room up ahead. Many large fragments of glass lay on the dark brown carpet beneath the windowsill. The white curtains over the window shuddered with the force of the gusting wind. Outside, lightning struck, and a heavy rain began battering against the roof.

As he stepped past the stairs, his eyes still focused on the broken window, Isaac heard a slight click sound come from the left of him. He knew the sound. It wasthe sound of a hammer being cocked back, a cylinder rotating.

He twisted to his left and pointed the 9mm into the dark crawl space behind the stairs. He didn’t move or blink, nor did he breathe. His index finger quivered on the cold, oily trigger of the gun.

What are you waiting for?

Before he could act, a brilliant flash of light robbed his sight, and an enormous wave of pressure (like the force of two storms colliding) pulsated through his body. Falling backward, he heard nothing, not rain, nor thunder, just silence—peaceful and undisturbed.

Upon hitting the floor, a sharp pain clambered up the ladder of Isaac’s spine to his left shoulder. Without thought, he sealed a hand over the broken skin. Seconds later, two large boots walked into his


sight, and when he looked up, he saw the .38 caliber revolver pointed at his head. Lying on his back, Isaac could see directly up the silver barrel; it seemed a mile wide and many oceans deep.

Apparently satisfied, the intruder pulled the revolver away and turned toward the staircase. On the stairs, his soppy boots thumped and whined against the wood.

Isaac got to his feet, saw the black pistol lying on the floor a few feet behind him, and staggered over to pick it up. Then he walked to the staircase, leaned on the handrail, and applied more pressure to his left shoulder. At the top of the stairs, the dark intruder looked both directions down the hall, and then turned right.

He’s heading for my bedroom, for Linda!

Isaachobbled up the stairs, gripping the wooden handrail. From above, he could hear banging on the bedroom door and his wife desperately crying out.

Isaac! Isaac! Help!

Hearing her scream only made him try harder to push his bleeding body up the stairs.

When he finally reached the upstairs hall, the banging had stopped, along with Linda’s cries. All he could hear now was the final verse of Brahms Lullaby concluding.

Guardian angels are near, so sleep on, with no fear.

The bedroom door was wide open, the broken handle hanging loosely from the wooden frame. Muffled sounds escaped from the room.

He was almost upon the open doorway when he heard the bedsprings quake, followed by the terrifying shriek of his wife. The scream felt like it had been amplified two hundred times


before it reached Isaac’s ears. Then the gun went off.

But it wasn’t his.

Isaac trembled as the gun fired one, two, three, four times, and with each shot, he felt the wound within his chest ache and wrench as though a hand was burrowing inside the round, bloody hole one stiff finger at a time. Once inside, the hand formed a fist around his heart, and squeezed.

Amy began crying again from down the hall. The lullaby had finished on an off note, overpowered by the passionate swell of gunfire.

When the intruder came through the broken door, his face spotted with blood, Isaac was waiting for him. “Drop the gun!” he yelled.

The intruder was noticeably startled by Isaac’s presence in the hall. He had expected Isaac to be dead. Heand then fell backward to the hardwood floor, convulsing violently, blood draining from the multiple holes in his chest.

Once he was sure the intruder was dead, Isaac began limping toward the bedroom, smearing blood against the wall as he extended his left hand outward for support. He dropped the pistol in the doorway and looked over at his wife’s body sprawled across the bed. Linda’s arms lay against the headboard, elbows bent, palms up. Her right leg dangled halfway off the bed and her head faced the small square window.

Isaac carefully stepped over the broken door and closer to his wife. He grabbed her hand and touched her cheek, trying not to look at the expanding red holes in her white nightgown. Linda’s green eyes stared toward the


window, vacuous and inactive. Her mouth hung open, poised for a scream that would never surface. Somewhere in his mind, deep within some nightmare of contemptuous, eternal memory, Isaac could still hear her final scream echo, and the deafening blast of emptying shells.

He knelt next to his dead wife, bowed his face in the messed sheets, and wept. Without looking up, he reached for Linda’s hand, still warm, and squeezed it in his own. Minutes later, he heard the droning of police sirens over the thundering rain. He slowly sat up, released his hand from his dead wife’s, and whispered, “I’m so sorry, honey.”

He left the bedroom, stepped over the fractured man lying in a blood puddle in the hall, and hobbled down the stairs. He thought ofgoing back up and getting his daughter, who was now fast asleep, but he lacked the strength needed to break down the locked door. He was closer to death than he realized, yet not as close as he would have preferred.

He fell to his knees in the middle of the front yard with his hand still pressed tight against his heart. A punishing rain drummed down on him, cleansed the blood and tears, but the pain remained. The bullet buried in his chest—he hardly felt it. The true source of pain lay far beyond the physical, eating away at his conscience.

How could I let this happen? How?

Three police cruisers pulled up at the side of the house. One officer hurried over to him and asked, “What happened?”

Boston Shamrocks Alumna Savannah Harmon, a standout defenseman for the Clarkson University National Champion women's hockey team, was selected by the Buffalo Beauts in last week's National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) draft. Entering her senior year in 2017-18, Harmon was the sixth overall player selected in the draft with Buffalo's second-round pick. The five-round NWHL Draft is for college players entering their senior season.

Before Clarkson, Savannah played with the Boston Shamrocks where she earned first-team JWHL All-Star honors in 2014 and served as assistant captain during the 2013-2014 season. Savannah also attended the USA Hockey National Player Development Camp every year from 2009-2012. At Clarkson, Savannah was points leader among rookie skaters in 2014-2015 and was named to the ECAC All-Rookie Team.

A native of


Downers Grove, Illinois, Harmon served as a co-captain on Clarkson's National Championship squad last season. She scored the game-winning goal in the 3-0 win over Wisconsin in the national title game to earn the Golden Knights their second NCAA Championship in four years.

During the 2016-2017 season she was second in the country in points among defenseman, scoring a career-high 36 points on 11 goals and 25 assists. Through 119 NCAA D-1 career games, Harmon has totaled 79 points on 22 goals and 57 assists. Harmon earned a myriad of honors in 2016-17, being named a second-team All-American, ECAC Hockey Best Defenseman Award winner, first-team all-league all-star, NCAA Frozen Four All-Tournament Team, All-USCHO second team, a finalist for ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and a finalist for theon July 25. At that meeting, it could consider endorsing the variance proposal, which would have to win final approval from the Town Council.

As planned, each townhouse would have five bedrooms, about 6,000 total square feet and windows on three sides.

Responding to an emailed question from the Daily News, Katie Frisbie Crowell, project manager for the site, said the northern part of the property — which today houses Kaplan Park — was particularly of concern to neighbors, who "preferred more open space on the north end of the property and to preserve their ocean views," she wrote.

In the revised drawings, the walled-in yard and pool for the northernmost townhouse is about the same size as Kaplan Park.

the park

The park was dedicated in 1986 when the Charley’s Crab property was owned by Harold Kaplan, who died in 1990, about 12 years before the death of his wife, Sylvia. The couple was well-known in Palm Beach County for their philanthropy. An ownership company controlled by their grandsons sold the site and the park area to the Frisbie Group.

Among his business interests, Harold Kaplan was a major shareholder when the late Chuck Muer founded Charley’s Crab, which was later sold to the Landry’s restaurant chain. The two men’s business relationship also included their namesake restaurant, Chuck & Harold’s, which for years anchored the east end of Royal Poinciana Way.

Although Kaplan created the park, he continued to pay property taxes onfrom Hildegard Jones, who lives at the seven-story Winthrop House condominium across Hammon Avenue from the park.

"I am concerned about the development of the Charley’s Crab property, which would include the removal of the park and I would hope for a plan to save the park," Jones wrote. "My late husband, David Lloyd Jones, was awarded the beautification award from the (Palm Beach Civic Association) some years ago for (helping maintain) the park. We have consistently enjoyed visiting the little park and the pretty dolphin sculpture by Peter Johnson."

But Jones said Friday that she had met with representatives of the Frisbie Group, who listened to her concerns about preserving ocean views from her apartment on the building’s southeast corner. They also offered to give her the sculpture, which
