this description running across a field near the scene of the incident. The man ran in front of the police car, stumbled when he saw it, then shouted that a girl needed help and pointed in the direction of the rape scene. The officer ordered the man to approach the police car, but he disregarded the order and continued to run away from the area where the rape had occurred. The police officer was unable to pursue him because construction made the road impassable, but he broadcast a further description of the individual, saying that he wore dark pants, a blue print shirt, and no jacket despite the winter temperatures. Another officer spotted a man fitting this description running a few blocks away, on the other side ofthe construction area. Upon seeing the police officer, the man stopped short and ran into a bar. The policeman followed him into the bar and arrested him there. The arrest occurred within approximately five minutes of the first report of the incident and only a few blocks away from the house where the rape had occurred. We think that the fact that appellant fit the description given by the victim and the eyewitness, taken together with appellant's suspicious behavior in ignoring police orders to stop, his repeated attempts to escape or hide from police and the proximity of these events in both time and place to the rape justified the police in arresting him. We therefore find that there was probable cause for the arrest, and that neither


the identification nor the physical evidence need be suppressed as fruits of that arrest.

B.
Appellant argues further that even if the arrest was valid, the identification should be suppressed. The record shows that the identification occurred about twenty-five minutes after the rape. Appellant was transported in a police car to an area near that where the initial attack occurred. He was taken from the car, and stood near the car under a streetlight when the witness, standing on the *466 sidewalk, was asked if he were the man who had attacked her friend. She answered that he was. Appellant contends that the fact that he was in police custody at the time of the identification was so suggestive as to render the witness' identification of him as the assailantof attention, the accuracy of [her] prior description of the criminal, the level of certainty demonstrated at the confrontation, and the time between the crime and the confrontation." Manson v. Brathwaite, supra, 432 U.S. at 114, 97 S.Ct. at 2253. Here, the witness was able to observe appellant at close range, although only for a brief time, on a lighted street. This view occurred under circumstances likely to increase her degree of attention and to impress the criminal's face upon her memory. Although her description of the assailant was only general, she displayed absolute certainty that appellant was the assailant when she confronted him, and this confrontation occurred within half an hour of the time of the crime. In light of these facts, the suggestiveness of appellant's being


General Edward Braddock of the Coldstream Guard

After George Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity, his British force retreated to Wills Creek (present day Cumberland, Maryland).

THE MARCH TO THE FORKS

After appeals from colonial governors, the British decided to take matters more seriously and sent Major General Braddock to North America with two regiments of infantry. Braddock, a career soldier, had risen through the ranks. After 45 years of military service he became commander-in-chief of all British forces in North America. The British plan for 1755 was to simultaneously attack many French forts in North America. Braddock would lead the expedition against Fort Duquesne personally. That spring, he disembarked his army at Alexandria, Virginia. After adding colonial troops and a few Indians to his force, Braddock had about 2,400 men. GeorgeWashington joined the campaign as a volunteer aide to the General.

BRADDOCK ROAD

The army assembled at Wills Creek. Braddock decided to follow the road Washington had blazed over the mountains on his way to Fort Necessity the previous year. Because the trail was inadequate for the army's large wagons and artillery, it was widened to 12 feet, but only at great effort and expenditure of time. The force seemed to move at a snail's pace. Finally the army was split in two with Braddock moving ahead with the bulk of the men and a few pieces of artillery. The remainder would follow under the command of Colonel Dunbar

In early July, the advance group was approaching the Forks of the Ohio. On July 9, they made a second crossing of


the Monongahela River. From that point it was a short march to Fort Duquesne.

THE BATTLE OF THE MONONGAHELA

Soon after the river crossing, the woods in front of the British column exploded with musket fire and the whooping of Indians and their French allies as they collided head-on with the British. Advance British units fell back upon the main body, while the rear units continued advancing, adding to the confusion. Disorganization and fear seized the British. In the smoke of the battle, fighting an unseen enemy, and with many British officers killed early on, discipline all but ended.

The Battle lasted three hours. Finally, as Braddock was carried from the field severely wounded, the surviving British fled. British losses had been horrendous: more than 900 casualties out of 1,400 menengaged. They were completely beaten by a force they could not see in a wilderness where they did not want to be. Their retreat to the safety of Dunbar's camp was hasty and disorganized. Washington reported "The shocking Scenes which presented themselves in this Nights March are not to be described. The dead, the dying, the groans, lamentations, and crys ... of the wounded for help were enough to pierce a heart of adamant".

THE GENERAL IS BURIED

On July 13 The British camped about one mile west of the Great Meadows, site of Fort Necessity, and in the evening Braddock died. Washington officiated at the ceremony the next day. The general was buried in the road his men had built. The army then marched over the grave to obliterate


any traces of it and continued to eastern Pennsylvania.

One can only imagine what went through the general's mind after the battle. He commanded what some considered an invincible army. They were not ambushed, but rather surprised, and discipline broke down. The rout was a disgrace. Doctors later reported that the general had died more from anxiety than from his wounds.

Washington later wrote "...Thus died a man, whose good and bad qualities were intimately blended. He was brave even to a fault and in regular Service would have done honor to his profession. His attachments were warm, his enmities were strong, and having no disguise about him, both appeared in full force."

The French used this British retreat to their advantage,and soon French-inspired Indian attacks occurred throughout the frontier. Terrorized settlers streamed eastward and the war spread. In the ensuing decade, however, France lost all her colonies in North America and the British Empire was expanding around the globe. The removal of external threats to colonist and the increased cost of governing the British Empire helped set the stage for the American Revolution.


Jerry mistakenly causes Babu Bhatt (Brian George) to be deported. While Jerry is painted as the jerk who makes a stupid mistake, this episode provides a prime example of how marginalized people are so often treated as the "butt" of the joke, or as disposable characters who somehow serve a greater plot — like the ongoing theme of Jerry trying to be a good guy but missing the mark. This one definitely misses the mark in 2019.

7 Cedric & Bob NBC/YouTube Cedric and Bob appeared in three episodes, per Seinfeld's Wiki, including the "Puerto Rican Day" episode. In each episode they appear, the two characters who make up a gay couple play up stereotypes of both of Latinx and homosexual male cultures. While these characters might be funand add more diversity to the thoroughly homogenous show, they're basically the only ongoing characters of marginalized groups, so the fact that they play up such stereotypical characteristics is a shame.

8 When George Got Caught Staring At A Teenager's Breasts Columbia TriStar/YouTube Everything about this storyline is awkward: Jerry catches a glimpse of an NBC executive's 15 year-old daughter's (Denise Richards) cleavage when she bends over in an office waiting room. Jerry nudges George, who then stares boorishly and the camera spends a solid four seconds on a close shot of Richards bending over before the NBC executive (Bob Balaban) finds him ogling his daughter. Sure, it's pretty funny the way George has no chill, but the gratuitous zooming in on a supposedly under-aged woman's cleavage is an


patient." Yikes. It's one thing to make a joke out of Kramer hallucinating some sort of mythical creature in a hospital, but to actually root a silly storyline in reality and dehumanize someone with mental illness is totally unnecessary.

11 When George Pursues A Woman Because She Can't Speak English Columbia TriStar Television/YouTube In Season 4, Episode 18, George and the crew volunteer to help the elderly. Once George learns that a housekeeper (Lanei Chapman), a Black woman, who works for Jerry's assigned patient doesn't speak English, George says he's interested in dating her. The joke here is that George finds a woman who can't talk to him attractive and, ew. Again, Seinfeld makes a disturbing example of how not to portray a woman or a person of color.

12The Joke About The Handicap Spot NBC/YouTube In a Season 4 episode titled "The Handicap Spot," Kramer convinces George to park in a handicap spot, and when the group returns to the car, they learn that a person in a wheelchair got into an accident because the handicap parking spot was taken. The fact that a big laugh comes after a woman describes the person in a wheelchair falling down an incline and into a wall might make you feel a little bit icky, and for good reason. Seinfeld has awesome instances of physical comedy, but when it's based on a person's lack of mobility, that's just plain mean.

In honor of its annual diversity conference, Harvard University's faculty of arts & sciences invited an anti-Christian activist to speak at its "Decade of Dialogue" event. Tim Wise, known for his hatred of Christians, pushed the racial divide and condemned Christian belief in his remarks.

In an attempt to garner liberal support, Wise spoke of the nation needing to give reparations for slavery and criticizing President Trump as "always" being a racist. He stated the 2016 election showed that "this country is more sexist and more racist than I realized."

He went further to condemn the belief that people who put in the effort can be successful.

Gardens, Nature and Conservation in Islam

The notion, repeated in the Quran, of Paradise as a garden (al-janna, "The Garden") is symbolized in the form of Andalusi gardens, a few of which survive physically and some of which are described in literary sources.

The Quran says:

"Surely the God-fearing shall be among gardens and fountains."(Sura 51: 15)

"And those on the right hand;
what of those on the right hand?
Among thornless lote trees,
And clustered plantains,
And spreading shade,
And water gushing,
And fruit in plenty.
Neither out of reach nor yet forbidden,
And raised couches."(Sura 56: 27-34)

the form of Andalusi gardens, a few of which survive physically and some of which are described in literary sources.

The form of these gardens, quadripartite rectangles with fruit trees arranged in rows parallel to an axial watercourse, was of direct Persian (though ultimately, perhaps, of Roman) inspiration. Such an arrangement is apparent in an eleventh-century description of the Hair al-Zajjali, a renowned Cordoban garden, and is confirmed by the pattern of gardens, such as the Generalife of Granada, surviving from a later era. The symbolic value of the formal Islamic garden was as an earthly anticipation of paradise. In this sense, its contents of water, shade trees, and flowers were dictated by a generalized reaction to the desert environment, the traditional environment of Arabs, one that is dominated,Socialist freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sees a conspiracy between Fox News, Republicans, the Mercers, dark money–and fellow Democrats–as the driving force behind her crushing unpopularity. A new Quinnipiac poll published Thursday found her with just a 23 percent approval rating overall and underwater across all demographics except Democrats. But even then she does not have the approval of a majority of Democrats.

Ocasio-Cortez became a media darling last year when the then 28-year-old bartender defeated incumbent Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley in a stunning primary victory.

Since taking office in January Ocasio-Cortez has stumbled with the roll out of her Green New Deal and made several comments that revealed a brainwashed leftist who speaks like a teenager.

Bonus fact : Flip-flops have a history dating back to ancient Egypt, but the ones commonly worn in the U.S. and Europe are probably originally from Japan. Per Wikipedia: “The modern flip-flop descends from the Japanese z?ri, which became popular after World War II when soldiers returning to the United States brought them back.” Zori were often considered formalwear for Japanese women of the time.

She does everything with such simplicity and honesty, it's breathtaking."[5] A struggling actress at the time, Falco said her salary from these television episodes paid for one month's worth of rent.[6] Fontana cast Falco as a regular character, prison officer Diane Wittlesey, in his HBO series Oz based on her work in the Homicide episodes "Son of a Gun" and "A Shot in the Dark".[7]

Her friendship with former SUNY Purchase classmate Eric Mendelsohn, who was the assistant to Allen's costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland, helped her to be cast in the role. Mendelsohn would go on to direct Falco in his feature film Judy Berlin, for which he won "Best


Director" honors at the Sundance Film Festival.

During the 2004 U.S. presidential election, Falco appeared in a 30-second television commercial on behalf of M.O.B. (Mothers Opposing Bush) in which she said "Mothers always put their children first. Mr. Bush, can you say the same?" referring to George W. Bush who was running for re-election.[13]

Falco has said she had problems with alcohol and decided to become sober after "one particular night of debauchery." She said in an interview that it is hard to be around the hard-partying cast of The Sopranos; "This cast (of the Sopranos) in particular, they really love to hang out and party.

Aides say Gulen stays in a small apartment atop a modern three-story house, one of 10 buildings on the bucolic property. He has gone out the front gate, past the stately oak and cedar trees, only a few times since he moved here in 1999 just ahead of a treason charge back in Turkey.

The recluse enjoys his “quiet and tranquil” refuge in this tiny Pocono Mountains town, where he can “avoid stress and legal harassment” in Turkey, Alp Aslandogan, an informal spokesman, said as he

Turkey coup attempt live updates: President urges citizens to take to the streets >>

One who clearly doesn’t is Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who blames the cleric for the political upheaval that threatens his hold on power. A harsh government crackdown on opponents, including many who follow Gulen’s educational and cultural movement, has chilled Erdogan’s once warm relations with the White House.

Gulen preaches an unusual mix of Islamic piety and Sufi mysticism, as well as free markets, democracy and religious tolerance. His followers have built a worldwide religious, social and nationalistic movement, known as Hizmet, in his name. They control a network of schools, companies and charitiesaround the globe, including about 120 schools and scores of nonprofit groups in the United States.

Gulen’s following is especially potent back home. Inspired in part by sermons on his website, his supporters in the Turkish police and judiciary, backed by allies at the country’s largest newspaper, are pushing a corruption investigation into Erdogan’s inner circle that has sparked a bitter political power struggle.

The wide-ranging inquiry already has caused three Cabinet ministers to resign and led to dozens of arrests. The economy has taken a hit and the lira, the national currency, fell to a record low against the dollar in the last week.

Erdogan, who once embraced Gulen as a close political ally, has launched an escalating series of counterattacks. The government has closed Hizmet schools and fired 2,000


Internet sermons and scores of books he has published.

Unlike the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who spent 14 years in exile from Iran before he was swept to power in the Islamic Revolution of 1979, or the Dalai Lama, who has lived in India since fleeing Chinese-controlled Tibet in 1959, Gulen avoids the media and makes few public appearances.

Experts who have studied Hizmet describe it as secretive, partly because it emerged as an opposition force during an era of repressive military rule in Turkey. And his self-imposed exile in the hills of northeastern Pennsylvania has spawned conspiracy theories.

“His movement is very opaque in nature,” said Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “It flourished as an underground movement in the 1980sand ‘90s under military rule, and there is a deep-rooted memory of operating in an opaque manner in order to survive. Even those in the U.S. are not entirely transparent.”

The Hizmet movement is surprisingly widespread in the U.S., where Gulen has permanent resident status. Hizmet operates nonprofit groups across the country devoted to social services, education and promoting Turkish culture. They include the Pacifica Institute in Los Angeles and six other California cities, and the Niagara Foundation in Chicago, which has branches in eight other states.

The movement also supports more than 120 publicly funded charter schools in about two dozen states.

The U.S. schools do not teach religion, and many are highly regarded academically. But state and federal authorities are investigating Hizmet schools in Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and


elsewhere for improper use of public funds and for allegedly importing Turkish teachers without proper visas, among other complaints. The inquiries have led to the repayment of public funds in some cases.

Born in eastern Turkey, Gulen is said to have memorized the Koran by age 12. In the 1970s, he developed a following when he began distributing tapes of his sermons, largely based on the Sufi branch of Islam best known in the West for the dervishes who whirl themselves into religious ecstasy.

Soon he opened private schools in Turkey to prepare children of religious Turks for college exams. By the 1990s, his followers had expanded that network into a diversified business empire.

Gulen left Turkey for medical treatment just before he was accused of plotting to overthrow the secularmature ponderosa pine habitats of the Black Hills in South Dakota, western tanager occurred at the highest densities in stands with intermediate (40%-70%) canopy cover.

The 34-member team will be inaugurated on Monday and the new portfolios include, for the first time, a coordinating ministry of maritime affairs tackling one of the country's most severe bottlenecks.

The announcement comes after nearly a week of false starts as intended names ran afoul of anti-corruption watchdogs, Parliament and party luminaries, underlining the delicate balancing act that will likely characterise the start of Mr Joko's presidency.

Market voices on:

"Jokowi is under a lot of pressure from his party and elsewhere," said Philips Vermonte, head of the department of politics and international relations at the Centre


also notable for who is absent.

In the run-up to Sunday's announcement, media reports had suggested Mr Joko will name ex-general Wiranto, the former commander of the Indonesian military, as coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs. Instead, that job has gone to Tedjo Edy Purjianto, the former chief of the navy.

As head of the military in 1999, Mr Wiranto is under scrutiny for potential links to atrocities in East Timor from militias that enjoyed Indonesian army backing. His possible nomination earned a rare public rebuke from Mr Joko's own coterie of volunteers, who played a big role in delivering victory at July's election.

Still, naming ministers such as Rini Soemarno, who headed the Jokowi transition team, as minister for state-owned enterprises may prompt some to question the president'sreform credentials. She has been under repeated questioning from the graft watchdog, the Anti-Corruption Commission (KPK), for her role in the nearly US$600 million Bank Century bailout in 2008.

Also making the cut are Anies Basweden, president of Paramadina University, as minister for education, and Ignatius Jonan, chief executive of state-owned rail operator PT Kerata Api, as transport minister.

The KPK and the anti money-laundering agency, the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, last week warned Mr Joko of nearly a third of the names from his 43-person shortlist because of income statement irregularities.

A three-year-old boy being taken out shopping by his grandmother has been killed in a road rage shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas, US police say.

Their vehicle was fired upon by another driver who thought the woman had not driven quickly enough through a stop sign, police said.

The grandmother drove away but the boy later died in hospital.

Police are hunting for a black Chevrolet Impala but gave few details of the man driving it.

Authorities identified the grandmother as 47-year-old Kim King-Macon and the boy as Acen King, according to local media reports.

Decorative fully engraved title print, (32) pp. Rare First Edition of this political pamphlet. Though anonymously published, it commonly accepted that he author was Willem Meerman, a seafaring man. In 1612, the year this pamphlet was published, Meerman embarked on a voyage to America, from which he never returned. In this pamplet, Meerman uses maritime expressions as an allegory on the political situation in Holland. The pamphlet is written in a clear and witty style. It attacks the protestant clergy in Holland as being little better than their Catholic predecessors. Hence the title, which translates as "the old game". The illustrated titlepage print shows prince Maurits, seated at a table with seven other gentlemen. He

Small stamp on bottom of the titlepage. Rare. In the same year 1612 another edition was issued, with the extended title "Comoedia Vetus, of anders ghenoemt Het Bootsmanspraetjen".

In 1573 North accompanied his brother, who had been appointed ambassador to the French court, to Lyons. It seems likely that North's translation of Plutarch has its roots in that journey, the translation being based on the third edition of Amyot's translation which was published in Lausanne in 1574. Samuel Johnson asserted that Shakespeare had read and was familiar with North's translation of Plutarch. This familiarity may have come about because at the time the printer Richard Field was preparing a 1595 edition of North's translation he

(see below page 3 for a full-sized photograph of the newly-discovered transcript).

On May 3, 1980, the Church Section of the Mormon newspaper, Deseret News,
reported that an amazing discovery had been made:

A hand-written sheet of paper with characters supposedly copied directly
from the gold plates in 1828, and also bearing other writing and the signature
of Joseph Smith, has been found in an old Bible by a Utah State University
student.

This would make it the oldest known Mormon document as well as the earliest
sample of the Prophet's handwriting. . . .

Experts believe the paper may be the original one copied by Joseph Smith
from the plates and given to


Martin Harris in February 1828 to take to New
York City for examination by linguistic experts. . . .

The paper, written in faded brown ink, was discovered by Mark William
Hofmann, . . . Written on the back, apparently after Harris brought the paper
back from his encounter with Professor Anthon, are the following words (and
spellings):

These curators were diligently coppied by my own hand from the plates of
gold and given to Martin Harris who took them to New York Citty but the
learned could not translate it because the Lord would not open it to them in
fulfilment of the prophecy of Isaih written in the 29th chapter and 11th
verse. [signed] Joseph Smith Jr.

"In my judgment, this writing is that of Joseph Smith," said Dean C.
Jessee, senior historical associate in the Church HistoricalDepartment. He is
a recognized authority on the handwriting of the Prophet. . . . Brother Jessee
said that after a preliminary examination, the paper and ink also give every
appearance of being authentic materials of the 1828 period. . . .

The discovery of the historic paper by Brother Hofmann was quite
accidental.

In March he purchased . . . a Bible once owned by members of Joseph Smith's
family. . . .

Handwriting in the Bible is signed by Samuel Smith, either the
great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather of Joseph Smith. . . . while
leafing through the book, he noticed two pages stuck together. He carefully
pulled them apart and saw a folded paper.

"I couldn't tell what it was, but I saw the signature of Joseph Smith. I
wasn't sure it was genuine, but I got rather excited," he


an admission that church leaders are not guided
by revelation as they claim. The Mormon church is led by a man who is
sustained by the people as "Prophet, Seer, and Revelator." The Book of Mormon
says that a "seer" can "translate all records that are of ancient date"
(Mosiah 8:13). Apostle John A. Widtsoe stated that if "records appear needing
translation, the President of the Church may at any time be called, through
revelation, to the special labor of translation" (Evidences and
Reconciliations, vol. l, p. 203).

Since the church claims to have the "seer stone" and is supposed to be led
by a "Prophet, Seer, and Revelator," we might expect a translation by this
means. Instead, however, the papyri were sent to Dr. Nibley to be translated
by "the wisdom of the world." Thus, it appears thatthe prophet does not have
the gift to translate languages as has been previously claimed.

Because Dr. Nibley was not really qualified to translate the papyri and
because he felt that it was "doubtful whether any translation could do as much
good as harm" (Brigham Young University Studies, Spring 1968, p. 25), he
stalled around until other Egyptologists produced translations. When their works
were published, it was discovered that the roll of papyrus Joseph Smith
"translated" as the Book of Abraham was only a pagan funerary text known as the
Book of Breathings. The roll identified by the Mormons as the Book of Joseph
turned out to be nothing but the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The new discovery of characters supposedly taken from the gold plates puts
the Mormon Prophet in an embarrassing position. Instead of using the


with them to the city of New
York. For what took place relative to him and the characters, I refer to his
own account of the circumstances, as he related them to me after his return,
which was as follows:

I went to the city of New York, and presented the characters which had
been translated, with the translation thereof, to Professor Charles
Anthon, . . . Professor Anthon stated that the translation was correct, more
so than any he had before seen translated from the Egyptian. I then showed
him those which were not yet translated, and he said that they were
Egyptian, Chaldaic, Assyriac, and Arabic; and he said they were true
characters. He gave me a certificate, certifying to the people of Palmyra
that they were true characters, and that the translation of such of themthat the Book of Mormon
has been "proven" to be translated correctly, for Professor Anthon certified
to this effect. Actually, nothing could be farther from the truth! At the time
of the above incident, the study of Egyptian was in its beginning stage. . . .
He was in no position to vouch for the correctness of the translation. (Fourteenth
Annual Symposium on the Archaeology of the Scriptures, April 13, 1963,
page 20)

The idea that Professor Anthon endorsed the translation of the Egyptian
characters was undoubtedly an after-thought, for when Joseph Smith first wrote
an account of his early life in 1832, he said nothing about Anthon endorsing his
translation. On the contrary, he claimed that when the "learned" were asked to
read the characters they replied, "I cannot" (Joseph Smith's 1832-34 Diary,
pages 10-11 [Now available in An


American Prophet's Record: The Diaries and
Journals of Joseph Smith, page 7.]) The newly discovered document tends to
verify Anthon's own statement that he did NOT certify that the characters were
"true characters, and that the translation . . . was also correct." The back
side of this sheet contains Joseph Smith's own signed statement that "the
learned could not translate it because the Lord would not open it to them in
fulfilment of the prophecy of 04 Isaih. . ." In this case we feel that the new
discovery vindicates Anthon rather than the account published in Joseph Smith's
story in the Pearl of Great Price.

Long before Mark W. Hofmann made his discovery, the Mormon Church published
photographs of another document known as the "Anthon Transcript." This document
had been preserved by Book of Mormon witness DavidWhitmer and is now in the
possession of the Reorganized LDS Church. In a booklet published in 1887,
Whitmer wrote: "I have in my possession the original manuscript of the Book of
Mormon, . . . also the original paper containing some of the characters
transcribed from one of the golden plates, which paper Martin Harris took to
Professor Anthon, . . ." (An Address To All Believers In Christ, page 11)
Although this document contains "caractors" from the gold plates, they are
printed horizontally (the new document has the characters running in vertical
columns).

Dean Jessee, of the Church Historical Department, feels that Joseph Smith
penned both the vertical and the horizontal transcript (see The Herald,
May 1, 1980). He points out, for instance, that both documents have the same
misspelling of the word character. The letter h is


In another letter written in 1841, Anthon
maintained the "characters were arranged in columns, like the Chinese mode of
writing, . . . the whole ended in a rude representation of the Mexican zodiac"
(Gleanings by the Way, p. 233).

Mormon scholars seem to have accepted the new find as authentic. We are
inclined to agree because it not only fits Anthon's description, but it also
contains very distinctive characters which were omitted on the horizontal
transcript. It was pointed out at a meeting of the Mormon History Association
that these very characters appeared in the Mormon newspaper, The Prophet,
on Dec. 21, 1844 and in a placard printed about this same time (see photographs
in About The Book Of Mormon, by Ariel L. Crowley, pp. 11 and 17).

Reformed Egyptian Or Deformed English?

There are a number of theoriesWesley P. Walters discovered an original
document which proves that Joseph Smith was a "glass looker" and that he was
arrested, tried and found guilty by a justice of the peace in Bainbridge, New
York, in 1826 (see The Changing World of Mormonism, pages 67-75). Three
years after Walters made this startling discover (1974), Dr. Reed Durham, who
was director of the LDS Institute of Religion at the University of Utah and
president of the Mormon History Association, discovered that what had previously
been identified as the "Masonic jewel of the Prophet Joseph Smith" was in
reality a "Jupiter talisman." This is a medallion which contains material
relating to astrology and magic. Dr. Durham, apparently not realizing the
devastating implications of his discovery, announced this important find in his
presidential address before the Mormon History Association on April 20,


and to New York. It was a magic book by Francis
Barrett and, lo and behold, How thrilled I was when I saw in his list of magic
seals the very talisman which Joseph Smith had in his possession at the time
of his martyrdom. . . .

So closely is magic bound up with the stars and astrology that the term
astrologer and magician were in ancient times almost synonymous. The purpose
of the Table of Jupiter in talismanic magis [magic?] was to be able to call
upon the celestial intelligences, assigned to the particular talisman, to
assist one in all endeavors. The names of the deities which we gave to you,
who could be invoked by the Table were always written on the talisman or
represented by various numbers. . . .

When properly invoked, with Jupitertried to make a translation of the Anthon Transcript in
1973, but the results proved to be disastrous. While one translator felt he
found the word "Mormon" in the first line, the other scholar believed it
contained "Zarahemla." John Buerger tells about this matter in Appendix I of his
unpublished paper, "A Preliminary Approach To Linguistic Aspects Of The Anthon
Transcript."

Edward H. Ashment, who has studied Egyptology at the University of Chicago
and is now working with the Translation Department of the LDS Church, has been
much more cautious with regard to the Anthon Transcript. He worked on it with
the noted Egyptologist George Hughes, of the University of Chicago, but was
unable to come up with anything concrete.

Dr. Hugh Nibley now claims that the transcript preserved by David Whitmer
looks like it was copied by a baby:


for the Provo Herald, asked Dr. Nibley what
would happen if the transcript which was supposed to have been copied from the
gold plates turned out to be something other than the Book of Mormon:

What if, when it is translated, it turns out to be just an Egyptian shopping
list?

Countered Nibley, "Then the question still remains—where did Joseph Smith
get it? Demotic Egyptian wasn't discovered until the 1850s and there was no
grammar until the 20th century" (The Herald, May 1, 1980).

It would appear from this that Nibley would maintain faith in Joseph Smith
even if the document contained nothing about the Book of Mormon. The statement
that "Demotic Egyptian wasn't discovered until the 1850s" is so far from the
truth that we wonder if Nibley has been misquoted. The Rosetta Stone, for
instance, was discovered beforeJoseph Smith was even born. In his monumental
work, Egyptian Grammar, page 12, Sir Alan Gardiner gives this information:

Such a clue was at last provided when some French soldiers, working on the
foundations of a fortress at Rosetta, came across a trilingual inscription in
Greek, demotic, and hieroglyphic (1799) . . . scholars first directed their
attention towards the demotic section.

In our book Archaeology and the Book of Mormon, we suggested that it was
possible that Joseph Smith copied his characters from some book available at
that time. Even if this were the case, however, the characters might still be
impossible to read. Those who have studied our work, Mormonism—Shadow or
Reality? know that when Joseph Smith made copies of the characters from the
Egyptian papyrus he obtained in 1835, the reproductions were so badly done that
they


necessarily
interested in historical accuracy as much as he was in getting what the Lord
wanted him to get.

"We cannot judge Joseph Smith's work from the viewpoint of twentieth
century theory and methodology."

Ashment warned also against making rash statements or drawing early
conclusions that could trap the church into an embarrassing position.

What if the transcript is a translation of Mormon's abridgement of the Book
of Lehi (the 116 lost pages)?

"We've got to slow down and take it easy. We can't have contradictions.
There are people like Tanner and 'Former Mormons for Jesus' in California who
are just waiting to catch us slipping up."

Ashment said that Tanner had called him recently to verify Hugh Nibley's
assessment that the Anthon transcript could be translated.

"I told him I wasn't as convinced as Nibley although I did discuss the
characters withDr. George A. Hughes of the University of Chicago. We agreed
that there are some characters that look like demotic Egyptian."

The Herald called Hugh Nibley to see if he was still confident about his
earlier assessments.

"I still say just what I said before. It can be translated. I will take a
couple of years to complete though. These things take time" (The Herald, May
12, 1980).

It would now appear that Dr. Hugh Nibley is going into the same type of stall
that he used with regard to the Book of Abraham papyrus. In 1968 we were told
that Dr. Nibley was going to unfold "the meaning of the hieroglyphics and
illustrations on these valuable manuscripts" (Improvement Era, Jan. 1968, p.
40-H). Twelve years have now past and he has still not translated the
hieroglyphic writing which is


name "Nefi."
This, of course, reminds one of "Nephi"—the first writer mentioned in the Book
of Mormon. Mr. Fell claimed that he had originally been asked by a Mormon man if
he could decipher the horizontal version of the Anthon Transcript. He felt that
it was a very poor copy and was unable to translate it. When the newspaper
published a picture of the recently-discovered document, he examined it and
immediately recognized that it contained scripts which he had encountered in
North Africa. After translating the first four lines, he sent his work to the
Mormon Church for publication. When we asked about obtaining a copy, Mr. Fell
indicated that he was giving the Mormon Church first chance to purchase his
work. Later, however, Mr. Fell became somewhat disturbed that the Church had not
responded and began to releasesome of his material. We have been able to
examine his translation of the first four lines plus a letter to Ali-Akbar Habeb
Bushiri, dated May 27, 1980, which contains additional information.

Mr. Fell's translation is remarkable in that it sounds very much like the
first chapter of the Book of Mormon. For instance, in the first line he
translates: ". . . I, Nefi, a son born of sagacious parents, . . ." This, of course,
sounds like the first eight words of the Book of Mormon: "I, Nephi, having been
born of goodly parents, . . ." (I Nephi 1:1) In line three Fell finds the words,
"My father, Lehi, was of Salem, . . ." This is similar to I Nephi 1:4: ". . . my
father, Lehi, having dwelt at Jerusalem. . ."


. . . Dynasty
in Andalusia . . . in Libyan (Numidian) script." This would tend to date Joseph
Smith's "Caractors" to the 12th or 13th century A.D.! Barry Fell, then, would have us believe that
instead of making a copy of "Reformed Egyptian" from gold plates, Joseph Smith
copied a gold coin and characters from an old Arabic manuscript known as the
"apocryphal book of Nefi."

Mr. Fell's thesis would lead a person to conclude that Joseph Smith saw a
book or manuscript which contained a copy of a page from the "book of Nefi"
together with a translation in English, and that this became the basis for his
Book of Mormon. While we would really like to accept Barry Fell's work, we feel
that there are a number of things that cast considerable doubt upon it.

Towanted at some point,
then it could be claimed that this portion was written in another language.
Because Mr. Fell works from several different scripts and uses "cipher," we feel
that it makes his "translation" very questionable. His rendition of the very
first character which appears on the transcript gives an interesting example of
his questionable methods of operation. This character, which looks like a small
bowl in a larger one, is supposed to be the n in "Nefi." We find this same
character written seven times in the first four lines. Below is a photograph of
the way it appears each time together with Mr. Fell's transliteration and
translation of the word in which it appears.

The reader will notice that in the first three examples Fell transliterates
the character as n, but in example number four he


only on his wishful-thinking with regard to one character.
The reader will also notice that the second and third characters (f and
i) which
Fell uses in making "Nefi" are almost completely different in examples one and
two.

Because Mr. Fell claimed that those who knew how to read Arabic would support
his translation of the first line, we decided to consult someone who was
qualified to pass judgment. We were referred to Adel Allouche of the Department
of Middle East Studies at the University of Utah. Mr. Allouche, who teaches
Arabic and reads both ancient and modern script, examined photographs of Joseph
Smith's "Caractors" to see if Mr. Fell's thesis is correct. He consulted others
at the University concerning this matter, and after carefully comparing the
characters with many ancient scripts came to the conclusion that it was noknown
form of Arabic nor any other language that he was aware of. He felt, in fact,
that Barry Fell's translation was only a work of the imagination.

Mr. Fell's statement that he found "cipher number 19 in the book of ancient
alphabets prepared by Ahmed bin Abu-Bekr bin Washish" has been questioned by at
least one scholar who is critical of his work. David Persuitte, however, has
obtained access to a copy of this book and has made photocopies. It was printed
in London in 1806 under the title, Ancient Alphabets and Hieroglyphic Characters
Explained; With An Account of the Egyptian Priests, Their Classes, Initiation,
and Sacrifices. It not only has Ahmad Bin Abubekr Bin Wahshish's work in the
Arabic language, but also a translation into English by Joseph Hammer. We feel
that this book furnishes devastating evidence


talismans, magic and money-digging. Pages 6 and 7, for instance, contain
this information about some of the scripts:

Section XI. The alphabet of Costoodjis . . . He wrote in this alphabet, three
hundred and sixty books on divinity, talismans, astrology, magic, influence of
planets and fixed stars, and on the conjuration of spirits, . . .

Section XIII. The alphabet of Colphotorios . . . He was deeply learned in the
knowledge of spirits and cabalistic spells, in talismans, astrological aspects,
and in the magic and black art. . . .

Section XIV. The alphabet of Syourianos . . . He wrote in this alphabet on
astronomy, and the secrets of the stars; on talismans, and their qualities; on
magic alarm-posts; on the effects of planet-rings; and on the invocation and
conjuration of spirits.

Although Mr. Fell is certainlyincorrect about the Belinos script, his work
has brought an interesting old book to light. When speaking of Mr. Fell's work,
we should probably mention the fact that he has stirred up a great deal of
controversy with the publication of the book, America B.C. in 1976, and this
year he has come out with a new volume entitled Saga America. His work is of
special interest to the Mormons because of his attempt to prove contacts between
the Old World and America in ancient times. In his new book Saga America, page
83, he even includes a photograph of Professor Paul Cheesman of the Church's
Brigham Young University. Newsweek, May 26, 1975, stated that while "Fell has
his defenders," his "translations bring snorts from some critics. . . . 'He is
doing too much cross-country running,' argues


Frank M. Cross, professor of
Semitic languages at Harvard." Ives Goddard and William W. Fitzhugh of the
Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution wrote a criticism
which was published in Biblical Archeologist, September, 1978, pp. 85-88, which
contains the following:

The Department of Anthropology of the Smithsonian Institution occasionally
receives inquiries regarding the book America B.C. . . . The statement below has
been prepared to explain briefly why Smithsonian specialists in linguistics and
New World prehistory consider the conclusions reached in this book to be
incorrect.

None of the inscriptions mentioned in America B.C. can be accepted as
genuine ancient inscriptions carved in the New World. Some appear to be
accidental or random markings, while others have been created by hoaxers. . . .

No prehistoric loanwords of Old World origin have been found in any North
American Indian language.that his work on the first four lines is completely unconvincing.

MICMAC?

Some scholars have noticed a resemblance between some of Joseph Smith's "Caractors"
and a script used by the Micmac Indians. In his book America B. C., Barry Fell
published photographs of Micmac and related it to the Egyptian language: "The
Micmac language has evidently acquired much of its technical and astronomical
vocabulary from ancient Egyptian, . . . " (page 278). Ives Goddard and William W.
Fitzhugh criticized Mr. Fell for this conjecture:

The claim is made in America
B.C. that the so-called hieroglyphics of the Micmac Indians are derived from
Egyptian hieroglyphics. However, general resemblances between some individual
signs, some of which have been misinterpreted or misdrawn (pp. 254-58), do not
prove a relationship between the two writing systems, because there is no
explanation of their very different


structures. The Micmac writing system is a
purely mnemonic system used to aid in the reciting of Christian prayers; it
cannot be used to write new messages. It was developed by Roman Catholic
missionaries inspired by the use of pictographic mnemonics among the Indians,
but its principles have never been explicated in detail. . . (Biblical
Archeologist, September 1978, p. 86)

In his latest book, Saga America, p. 223, Fell seems to have changed his
opinion somewhat:

In America B.C. the hieroglyphic system of writing used by
the Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia was attributed to influence from Egypt, and
the similarity of the signs to hieratic letters was illustrated in tables. . . . this was taken as evidence of an ancient contact with Egyptian writers of the
ancestors of the Micmacs of modern times. More recent studiesevidence stems to show just the
opposite. Garrick Mallery claimed that what has been "erroneously" called "Micmac
hieroglyphics . . . do not partake of the nature of hieroglyphics, and their origin
is not Micmac." (Picture Writing of the American Indians, p. 666) If any
connection between Micmac and Joseph Smith's work could be established, it would
lead us to suspect that Smith had access to a copy of a Christian text produced
in the 18th or 19th century A.D. It is possible, of course, that Joseph Smith
could have acquired a sample of this writing. Wesley P. Walters has pointed out
that Smith's uncle, Jason Mack, lived in "New Brunswick" (Joseph Smith's History
by His Mother, page 52), and, according to Mallery, "the northern part of New
Brunswick" was occupied by Micmacs. We tend to doubt, however,


Jail in lieu of $2,000 bail.

Since the driver of the truck was
named Michael Marquart, and since a man with a similar name has done a great
deal of research for us, some members of the Mormon Church rejoiced thinking
that at last they had a way to discredit our work. On the Sunday following the
incident, an LDS Church security officer reported in priesthood meeting that he
looked through the file the Church maintains on Mr. Marquardt and found that he
is a "cohort of the Tanners." When we called this officer he freely admitted
that he had mistakenly linked the man arrested at Temple Square with the man who
has helped us with our research. He said he realized his error Sunday afternoon
when he found that Mr. Marquardt was working at the U.S. PostOffice while the
other man was in jail. The Mr. Marquardt who has given us a great deal of help
is actually named "Henry Michael Marquardt." He usually goes by "H. Michael
Marquardt" in his publications, but we usually refer to him as just "Michael
Marquardt." The reader will notice that the Tribune identified the man who drove
the pickup truck as "Michael George Marquart, 29, 642 Spring Hill Dr., North
Salt Lake, . . ." The Mr. Marquardt we know is 35, lives in Sandy and does not have
a pickup truck.

We have had a number of inquiries about this matter. A man from a local
television station contacted us to see if it was the same man, and another man
from a Provo radio station wanted to know just what comment we had to make


own minds
concerning this important question. The Mormon Church's Deseret News, April 14,
1980, said that "Roberts' defense of the Book of Mormon is contained in two
manuscripts titled 'Book of Mormon Difficulties' and 'Book of Mormon Studies.'
To say that these manuscripts contain a "defense" of the Book of Mormon is
certainly a serious error.

B. H. Roberts believed that his fellow Church leaders should come to grips
with the problems of the Book of Mormon. He was very disturbed with Apostle
Richard R. Lyman's attitude of sweeping them under the rug. He mentioned this
matter in a letter to President Heber J. Grant and the Council of Twelve
Apostles, and four years later wrote directly to Apostle Lyman:

You perhaps will recall our conversation of a few days ago in relation to the
inquiry we had before thePresidence [sic] and the Council of the Twelve. . . . I thought I would
submit in sort of tabloid form a few pages of matter pointing out a possible
theory of the Origin of the Book of Mormon that is quite unique . . . which in the
hands of a skillful opponent could be made, in my judgment, very embarrassing.

I submit it in the form of a Parallel between some main outline facts
pertaining to the Book of Mormon and matter that was published in Ethan Smith's
"View of the Hebrews" which preceded the Book of Mormon, . . . It was published in
Vermont and in the adjoining county in which the Smith Family lived in the
Prophet Joseph's boyhood days, so that it could be urged that the family
doubtless had this


movement terminating in its being wound onto itself. The compression roller may move in such a way as progressively to enlarge the space in which the felt is being rolled up.
In order to arrive at a uniform compression of the felt, it is necessary for the pressure exerted by the compression roller to grow with the number of turns of felt rolled. The law of increase in pressure to be applied depends on numerous parameters.
Hitherto, the means used for increasing the pressure exerted have not been entirely satisfactory.
In the typical conventional construction, the increase in pressure exerted results directly from the increase in the "diameter" of the felt rolled up. For example, the compression roller is disposed on the end of a movable arm. The roll of felt,as it grows, pushes back the compression roller. A pneumatic jack fixed on the arm carrying the compression roller exercises a reaction which tends to oppose the movement of the arm. The pressure in the pneumatic jack which is transmitted through the arm and the compression roller to the felt while the felt is being rolled up is all the greater as the displacement of the compression roller becomes greater.
Even when such means are refined, it is not possible in practice satisfactorily to follow the progression necessary to ensure a uniform rate of compression of the felt over its entire length. Typically, it is found more often than not that compression is much higher in the center of the roll in comparison with that which is exerted on

Trump at NRA Convention: 2nd Amendment 'Will Never Be Under Siege' While I'm President

Tucker Carlson said Robert Mueller's probe into President Donald Trump and his campaign shows that political endeavors are now being "waged with guns, subpoenas and the surveillance power of the U.S. government."

Carlson said that in conventional politics, candidates run on issues and face each other in a way that is in line with historical precedent.

But, he said the Mueller "campaign" being brought against Trump in the form of a special investigation is one "waged with guns and subpoenas."

He alluded to the fact that Mueller or other federal investigators have sanctioned armed raids on Trump attorney Michael Cohen and former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort.

"Now, lives are beingdestroyed forever," Carlson said. "It's pretty obvious what's going on."

Carlson said that at least one federal judge has appeared to push back against the prowess of Mueller and his team.

Eastern District of Virginia Federal Judge T.S. Ellis III, a Reagan nominee, criticized the Mueller team in court Friday.

Carlson said Ellis accused the team of granting themselves unfettered power.

Caldwell: 'Politics in the Pulpit' May Have Prompted Ryan to Dismiss House Chaplain


A fire broke out Tuesday at the Parc restaurant in downtown Detroit's Campus Martius.

Video posted on social media appeared to show flames shooting out of a tube on the roof.

Fire trucks were quick to arrive to the scene and appeared to have the fire under control minutes later.

Parc co-owner Zaid Elia said the fire appeared to have stemmed from the wood-fire grill.

“A piece of wood got caught, sparked it and went straight through the chute," Elia said. "It looks way worse than it is. Thank God. Literally only one ceiling tile was burnt. The flue did exactly what it was supposed to do and contained the fire. That’s why it was shooting out instead of burning up.”

Four Cincinnati studentssitting in Campus Martius park shortly after the fire said they watched the entire incident. They had just arrived in Detroit, got coffee and were sitting in the beach area when they noticed lots of dark smoke coming from the restaurant.

The visitors could "feel the flames," which were shooting out of a chimney on the roof, they said, and saw people run out of the restaurant.

"They all ran out and said 'get out of the building' and were a little jumpy," said Julia Glenn, one of the Cincinnati students. "All the pedestrians here naturally backed up and started taking videos."

The process of publishing the final draft today was carried out in cooperation with the Registrar General of India , along with the central and the state government officials, under the direct supervision of the Supreme Court, the chief minister said.

The much-anticipated second and final draft of the NRC with 2.9 crore names out of the total 3.29 crore applicants was published around 10am today.

The first draft, with 1.9 crore names, was released on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1, this year.

Assam is the first Indian state where the NRC


is being updated after 1951, with March 24, 1971 as the cut-off date, to include names of "genuine Indian citizens".

The CM thanked the officials, who were involved in updating the NRC.

"For this remarkable feat, I extend my heartiest congratulations to the 55,000 officials engaged in NRC updation process and the people living across the Barak and Brahmaputra valleys, plains and hills of the state," he said.

Sonowal expressed confidence that the NRC, which has become the "instrument to safeguard the interest of greater Assamese society", would be able to pave the way for realising the hopes and aspirations of the genuine Indian citizens.

Both the central and the state governments have extended their support from the very beginning of the NRC publication exercise, he asserted.

"After the government led by theBJP and its allies assumed power in 2016 in the state, I went to the NRC office on May 25 that year to take forward the process," he said.

Sonowal also urged people not to panic if their names did not appear in NRC draft as genuine Indian citizens would get "full opportunity" to make claims and objections.

"NRC is a national programme. It is the duty and obligation of every Indian citizen to maintain peace in the wake of its publication. I appeal to all sections of the society to desist from making any inflammatory or communal remarks," he added.

The names of 40.07 lakh applicants did not find a place in the historic document, touted to be a proof of Assamese identity.

The NRC will include the names of all

Elspeth - Oh, what a subtle but nice tribute to Morse that comment was :-). A nice "inside joke," too, in a way. Thanks for sharing it.

You're not the first person I know of who's said that Dexter didn't give the reader as much information in the Morse books as viewers got in the series. It's an interesting comparison, actually, since both the books and the show have deeply-dedicated followers. It highlights, too, that delicate balance between giving the reader enough information to "play fair" without giving the whole show away, especially for experienced crime fiction fans who know,The company is struggling in the US market.

NOW 98: Dua Lipa – New Rules

It took the toss of a coin to determine the NOW playlist entrant for NOW 98. Iain Richards tossed and it came down on Dua Lipa, with New Rules, the sixth single from her self-titled debut. It sounded like female-dominated pop in 2017 and was a much-deserved first number one that kicked the door open fully for Dua to burst through. She was on the cover of GQ Magazine soon after, in which her parents kvelled, to use the Yiddish word for being proud of their progeny.

The coin helped Dua defeat the era’s most prolific songwriter to have ever come from Suffolk. Ed Sheeran played to over 300,000 over four June nights at Wembley Stadium in 2018, cementing his status as ‘theurban, a little bit Top 40, but also a little bit folk and country. From the time of his first album + (or Plus), Ed was equal parts Damien Rice and Damian Marley (sorry…), rapping along to an acoustic guitar like some ginger busker who could also write political songs like Small Bump and The A Team.

On x (Multiply), Ed went stratospheric thanks to Thinking Out Loud. When I first heard the song, I messaged the song’s co-writer Amy Wadge on Twitter congratulating her on writing the Song of the Year (it was). Amy goes over to Nashville several times a year to write with American acts, a move copied by writers usually based in Los Angeles or New York City. I know friends who go to Nashville


once or twice a year who then build followings on both sides of the pond. If anything, Ed Sheeran blazed the trail; he is an admirer of country band The Shires and gave them a song, Stay The Night, that made it on the duo’s third album.

On his third album Divide, Ed outsold every other album in the world. My friend Angeline bought three copies of the album to take back home to East Asia. It included two tracks released on the sixth day of 2017 which dominated not just that week, or that month, but the entire quarter. Shape of You was number one in the UK for so long that it was able to be joined by the other fifteen tracks in the UK Top 20.No performer will ever match his nine songs in one Top 10 because the Official Charts changed the rules to ensure only three songs from one album charted at any one time. Ed Sheeran literally altered pop music.

Castle on the Hill (which was on NOW 96) was the other song released two months before the album came out, a song that included a namecheck for Elton John’s Tiny Dancer. The song that was the third single was Galway Girl and is on NOW 98; it is rooted in an Irish folk instrumental written by the band Beoga, who are all credited alongside Wadge, Foy Vance, Johnny McDaid and Sheeran on the track. It’s a country song: verse one sees Ed meet the girl in Dublin on Grafton Street;


was ‘doing the right thing for this one’. Ed also gives a shoutout to the ‘hero dads’ at his concerts; he is a businessman of the highest order who ought to teach at the BRIT School which (little known fact) he didn’t attend. Every musician on NOW 98 can learn from Ed from Suffolk, the market leader.

Post Malone, the white version of Drake, blethers monotonously over his UK number one Rockstar, a trap song which admittedly has good production as well as rapper 21 Savage. I prefer the three-chord marvel Havana, a step up in the career of Camila Cabello, who is assisted by Young Thug. Havana is part of the trend that is the result of music executives, in time-honoured fashion, demanding more of whatever just madewho sings competently.

Top dance anthems from the end of 2017 include Real Life, a massive banger from Duke Dumond, NAATIONS and Gorgon City, and the fun More Than You Know, a collaboration credited to ‘Axwell /\ Ingrosso’. MK took listeners back to the early 1990s with 17, thanks to uncredited vocals from Carla Monroe. The song was co-produced by Camelphat who, along with rapper Elderbrook, was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award in 2018 with the groovy Cola.

The Killers return to a NOW with The Man, which moved towards disco; Paloma Faith offered Crybaby, one of her better songs; The Script warbled their way through Rain (which was all over Radio 2); and Rag’N’Bone Man offered more of the same with Grace (We All Try). Returning to a


the slight Anywhere and sings on the excellent Avicii song Lonely Together, while Khalid comes from nowhere to offer his own Young Dumb & Broke (was I young at 29? I was certainly the other two adjectives) and Silence, a track produced by Marshmello, another anonymous dance producer who two-times with Selena Gomez purring the song Wolves, ironic since she admitted suffering terribly from lupus.

Mabel McVey, daughter of Neneh Cherry, appears with Kojo Funds on the brilliant Finders Keepers. Another new name for NOW 98 was Alma, sounding like 2017 on Chasing Highs, while in UK rap Yungen and Yxng Bane teamed up on Bestie. Also appearing was Michael Daapah, who performed as Big Shaq and sang a song that had the chorus that said he would takeof postoperative infection^\[[@r15]\]^. Because of this situation, various techniques were used, such as coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in 1955^\[[@r16]\]^, and later with other surgeons^\[[@r17]-[@r20]\]^, with good results in relation to the CPB. But these technical limitations were reported as difficult as revascularization of the lower wall of the left ventricle, large cardiomegaly and severe heart failure. In these situations, the technique often resulted in incomplete revascularization^\[[@r21]\]^. Another option found to the problems of CPB was to minimize the volume of the infusion, with the miniaturization of the cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB). Afterwards, several studies published comparing the CPB with off pump surgery and the MCPB, finding lower presence of hemodilution, coagulopathy^\[[@r21]\]^ need for transfusion of red blood cells^\[[@r22]-[@r27]\]^ and lower systemic inflammatory reaction in the


cardiac surgery and for the world cardiology.

However, success was accompanied by problems such as hematological disorders^\[[@r13]\]^, cognitive, and systemic inflammatory reactions^\[[@r14]\]^ and infections^\[[@r15]\]^, resulting from direct blood contact with oxygen and non-endothelial surfaces like metal and plastic. These situations led to the search for solutions to work around the problem. Then emerged coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass^\[[@r16]\]^, technique followed by other surgeons, with good results in relation to the CPB^\[[@r14]-[@r16]\]^.

However, other challenges have emerged, especially in CABG as the difficult access to the lower wall of the heart, great cardiomegalies and severe heart failure, making it difficult to complete revascularization^\[[@r21]\]^. Another option was the miniaturization of cardiopulmonary bypass described as good alternative by several authors^\[[@r21]-[@r28]\]^ and restrictions by other researchers^\[[@r29]-[@r30]\]^.

Currently, the mini CPB is establishing itself as aa first direction, a data line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the gate line and the data line, a pixel electrode connected to the TFT, and a storage line overlapping the pixel electrode.
The pixel electrode may be separated into two parts to improve the viewing angle of the flat panel display device. For example, the pixel electrode may include a first pixel electrode to which a first voltage is applied and a second pixel electrode to which a second voltage, having a lower level than the first voltage, is applied. A drain electrode of the TFT is connected to the first pixel electrode directly and overlaps the second pixel electrode to form a capacitor.
As such, the second

Happy retirement.high school equivalent education. In the early 1990's she worked as a cashier, but stopped working in July 1995, allegedly because of migraine headaches, hypertension, difficulties concentrating, memory problems, anxiety, depression, shortness of breath, and chronic pack pain. Despite those problems, Sims worked at home in 1996 and 1997 as a part-time telemarketer.

A. Sims's Physical Impairments

3
Sims was first diagnosed with hypertension in October 1995 after complaining of migraine headaches and blurred vision. A doctor at Wishard Memorial Hospital ("Wishard") in Indianapolis noted Sims's elevated blood pressure and prescribed anti-hypertensive medication. A week later the doctor noted that Sims's blood pressure had "greatly improved," and Sims reported a decrease in headaches. Sims stopped taking her medication two months later because she allegedly could not afford the cost. In December


examined Sims and diagnosed hypokalemia (low potassium concentration in the blood) and severe hypertension related to renal artery stenosis. He concluded that Sims's hypertension and hypokalemia were controllable with treatment and warned Sims to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities until her potassium and blood pressure were normalized.

B. Sims's Mental Impairments

7
In February 1998 psychologist J. Mark Dobbs examined Sims at the request of the state agency. He diagnosed "Major Depression, recurrent, mild" and "Panic disorder with agoraphobia (agoraphobia mild)." He noted Sims's poor concentration, but described her as cooperative and oriented. Dr. Dobbs documented no motor or neurological impairments, but noted that Sims complained of frequent headaches. Dr. Dobbs assigned Sims a Global Assessment of Functioning ("GAF")5 rating of 60. Three months later Sims was assigned a GAFthat Sims's hypertension is "controllable." Moreover, the ALJ cited Dr. Zafer's January 1998 report and a March 1998 report from Dr. Henderson concluding that Sims's hypertension resulted in no end-organ damage. The ALJ also cited various medical reports documenting Sims's noncompliance with her blood pressure medication. Additionally, the ALJ recognized that Sims's syncope had been associated with abnormal EKG readings, but the ALJ relied on Sims's 1998 discharge summary concluding that her arrhythmias were associated with dehydration and a resulting electrolyte imbalance.

19
Sims, however, argues that three medical reports from late 1997 prove that her high blood pressure was "chronic and persistent despite medical intervention." Although those reports document Sims's high blood pressure at certain intervals, the report from September 8, 1997, indicates that Sims did not take her


Circuit Judge, dissenting.

According to the uncontroverted facts, the applicant for disability benefits, Linda Sims, age 46 at the time of the administrative law judge's decision, is of dwarfish stature (4 feet 9 inches), is anemic, and has a shriveled kidney that may be responsible for her stratospheric blood pressure (220/108). Her blood pressure is controllable by medication, but she sometimes forgets to take it. She has had three strokes, has bouts of depression, a history of alcoholism, and an IQ of only 72 — a combination of mental and psychological deficiencies implying a level of mentation at which it is easy to forget things. She is prone to fainting. The idea that she is capable, as the administrative law judge found, of doing "light work" — which ishigh-school education." (She left school after the eighth grade but later earned a GED certificate.) That was irrational. Sims obtained the equivalent of a high-school education before she had any strokes, a point ignored by the ALJ; he might as well have said of an Alzheimer's patient that he might still be able to work because he had a college degree. It is surprising that he made this mistake since he was mindful of the fact that she had ceased being gainfully employed, presumably because of her strokes and other ailments.

31
More important, the ALJ failed to include Sims's blood pressure and resulting fainting fits in the list of impairments on which the vocational expert was to base the judgment of disability. His ground for the omission was that


The flourish of his delivery, his leg kick and tremendous follow-through are unique, and a metaphor for who Yordano was as a person. His did everything maximum-effort, and he wore his emotions on his sleeve. Every fifth day, Royals fans excitedly marked the days he pitched with his catchphrase, “Let’s throw fire.”

When his close friend Oscar Tavares passed away in October 2014, Yordano was visibly shaken, and pitched Game 6 of the World Series in tribute to his friend. He went seven scoreless innings, giving up only three hits. He threw fire. His performance elicited enormous praise from Pedro Martinez, a Hall of Famer, and Yordano’s childhood hero.

Yordano’s hat for Game 6 of the 2014 World Series was inscribed to honor his friend and countryman Oscar Tavares. Itrests in the Baseball Hall of Fame. (KCTV)

On Sunday, Pedro took to Twitter to express his heartbreak. Roughly translated, it reads “Another one of mine, another one of our own, another one of baseball’s. So little to say, so much pain to process. Rest in peace, son, you have broken our hearts.”

Yordano was part of the Royals’ core of talented Latin American players. His growth, along with Alcides Escobar, Salvador Perez and Kelvin Herrera, paralleled the ascendance of the franchise. He was signed for another five years. Danny Duffy coined the phrase “Bury me a Royal” when seeking his recent contract extension. It was not supposed to be literal.

on the order of about 25 to about 250 .mu.m. As is apparent, the reduced thickness of the film reduces the total amount of internal resistance within the electrolyte thereby minimizing losses in conductivity due to internal resistance.
The solid electrolytes also contain a solvent (plasticizer) which is typically added to the matrix in order to enhance the solubility of the inorganic ion salt in the solid electrolyte and thereby increase the conductivity of the electrolytic cell. In this regard, the solvent requirements of the solvent used in the solid electrolyte are art recognized to be different from the solvent requirements in liquid electrolytes. For example, solid electrolytes require a lower solvent volatility as compared to the solvent volatilities permitted in liquid electrolytes.

It's been many years since the Hazlet Lutheran Church has been abuzz with activities and a couple of enterprising young ladies are trying to bring life back into the place.

"Their last church service was in 1992 and it's been sitting empty ever since," said Erin McKnight, who purchased the building last summer with Lindsay Alliban, with the vision of renovating it as a place to hold community events."Most importantly, we bought it to save it. Secondly,


it is a great space for holding events. We'll be able to hold concerts, weddings, and events with live music where people can come listen to live music, enjoy a nice atmosphere, and enjoy some visiting," she added.The building was originally located seven kilometers northeast of Hazlet in the hamlet of Bethany, but was moved to Hazlet in 1959. From then until 1992, the Hazlet Lutheran Church was a place for local people to gather, worship, and enjoy fellowship.

Heide is Athlete of the Year for 3A track and field

Bayfield's Carl Heide smiles after leading his fellow 300-meter hurdles competitors over a barrier during one of the event's preliminary heats at the 2018 State Championships in Lakewood. Heide officially set a new meet record with his time in the prelim, would go on to win the title in both the 300 and 110m specialties, and was recently named Class 3A Boys' Track & Field Athlete-of-the-Year.

Bayfield's Jordan Lanning flashes a first-place glance after a successful attempt in the high jump during the 2018 Pine River Invitational inside Wolverine Country Stadium. She went on to win the state championship in the event, setting a new meet record in the process, and recently earned First Team All-3A distinction.

Dominant in histwo specialties from season start to state championship finish, Carl Heide seemed to have but one thing on his mind as he hopped every hurdle placed before him:

Clear the last one.

And by doing so, clear last year's trip to state from his memory.

"Tripping over the last hurdle in the 300 was just...incentive for him," said Bayfield co-head coach Josh Walton. "He would have won the state title last year easily had he not tripped, and he really wanted that state title this year after just missing it by a little bit."

Bound for NCAA Division II Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, the now-graduated senior star was recently named not only First Team All-3A but the Class 3A Boys' Track & Field Athlete-of-the-Year. Heide took state titles in both
