Driverless INNOVIA Monorail 300 system for new mass rapid transit lines in Bangkok will benefit over 400,000 passengers daily and ease congestion

The Driverless INNOVIA Monorail 300 system

BERLIN, GERMANY - Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation has announced two contracts for its BOMBARDIER INNOVIA Monorail 300 system for two mass rapid transit lines in Bangkok. This will improve the commute for more than 400,000 people - every day. The contracts are with the Northern Bangkok Monorail Co. Ltd. (NBM) and the Eastern Bangkok Monorail Co. Ltd. (EBM), responsible for the turnkey construction and 30-year concession of the new, elevated lines. Richard Hunter, President of Rail Control Solutions and South East Asia at Bombardier Transportation said, “Bombardier is helping citiesAuthorities in Portugal have placed the country on high alert for wildfires amid a prolonged dry spell and unseasonably high temperatures.

The government announced a civil protection alert from Wednesday through Sunday because of "a significant worsening of the wildfire risk."

The alert means exceptional measures are being enacted, including more firefighters on standby and a ban on burning cut vegetation.

The move comes after many weeks of almost no rain. A typically dry easterly wind from Spain is also forecast to blow strongly in coming days.

Authorities say the southern Algarve region, where forested hills look down on some of Europe's most popular vacation beaches, is especially at risk.

More than 100 people died in Portuguese wildfires in 2017. None died last year after the government took exceptional measures.


triggered and enriched by information, scientific and/or other, and this then allows us to have a more complete and stronger aesthetic experience of the landscape. Again, there is no tension between a subjective 'imagination approach' of the aesthetic appreciation of landscapes and a more objective 'science-based approach' – on the contrary, the latter completes and enriches the former (contra Brady (1998), see Fudge (2001) for a discussion). Landscapes and the information we have about them actually play the role of props that stimulate imagination to produce an aesthetic experience, in a way similar to how Walton (1990) analyses the way pictures depict by being props in games of make-believe. In Walton's view, when children play and imagine tree stumps to be bears, they are creating a fictional worldpreceding sections, where a landscape, unlike nature19, comes into being via an interaction with an observer – the 'artist' – when she chooses, at the very least, a point of view, a framing, and a time of observation, there is then room for bad choices and failure. As we have seen, aesthetic properties of landscapes (as of all objects of aesthetic appreciation) are grounded in their non-aesthetic properties. These include the context of creation, that is, a point of view, a framing, and a time of observation – thus, they include such-and-such sensory properties rather than others – and they also include non-sensory properties based in the taste of the evaluator, the information she has, and the way she uses her imagination; all of which can be triggered

Verses and songs were used in pre-Roman Iberia to transmit history to the younger generations, as told by ancient authors. Sallust said the mothers sang the military feats of the fathers to incite the children to battle. He was later quoted by Servius, who emphasised that it was the role of the mothers to remember and teach the young men about the war feats of their fathers. Silius Italicus added more; he said that the young warriors sang songs in their native language while hitting their shields in the rhythm of the songs and that they were well versed in magic. Strabo, too, commented that history was recorded in


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota has a first team all-conference player coming back with Kenisha Bell, along with Big Ten Freshman of the Year award winner Destiny Pitts and four of the top five scorers from a team that finished 24-9 last season and won an NCAA Tournament game.

When the Gophers start their schedule Friday night in front of a packed house, though, the fans will be most excited to see the head coach.

Lindsay Whalen will take the court with her new team in the opener against New Hampshire, one of the most-anticipated debuts in women's college basketball this year. Three months after announcing her retirement from the WNBA, Whalen has begun her full-time focus on the program she once helped build .

"I always hoped at some point Iwould work my way back here. You just don't know in what timing or in what capacity, so I'm just really thankful and really appreciative of the opportunity and the timing for it all to work out," Whalen said before practice Thursday afternoon.

The Gophers, who were the first team to miss the cut in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll, have naturally been looking forward to this lid-lifter with more eagerness than usual.

The game on the elevated floor at 90-year-old Williams Arena was declared a sellout more than two weeks ago, with an expected crowd around 14,000. Though demand was boosted by steeply discounted tickets offered by the university to help spur sales, the heart of the buzz undoubtedly revolves around the beloved Whalen who first began


I would play here. So for me to have them get to experience this is really special."

With a Big Ten Player of the Year Award, a trip to the NCAA Final Four, four WNBA titles and two Olympic gold medals with the U.S. national team, Whalen has plenty of accomplishments with which to command respect from the players. There's no better way to build their trust, though, than with relatability.

"It's easy to talk to her for her to understand the things that we're going through as players," Bell said.

For some fun at the end of a recent practice, each player tried a half-court shot. They all missed. So Whalen stepped in.

"She was like, 'All right, let me just do it for you," Bell said. "So she grabbed theThe First World War; a British Army platoon are delighted to be assigned to a quiet area of the trenches..front line, but quiet.

Elementary lessons on culture

Fourth grade student Natalie Ng, first grade student Jerry Zhu, third grade student Zayna Arif and third grader Julia Crumb dress in the costumes of their home cultures in China, India and Scandinavia, during a Cultural Night held Friday, Nov. 14 at Snoqualmie Elementary School. Some 60 students and their families put on displays about their cultural heritage. More than 20 different nationalities were represented, and special exhibitions included Celtic music and German folk dancing.

In a significant expansion of the war on drugs, the United States has begun training an elite unit of counternarcotics police in Ghana and planning similar units in Nigeria and Kenya as part of an effort to combat the Latin American cartels that are increasingly using Africa to smuggle cocaine into Europe.

The growing American involvement in Africa follows an earlier escalation of antidrug efforts in Central America, according to documents, Congressional testimony and interviews with a range of officials at the State Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pentagon.

In both regions, American officials are responding to fears that crackdowns in more direct staging points for smuggling — like Mexico and Spain — have prompted traffickers to move into smaller and weakly governed states, further corrupting and destabilizingthem.

The aggressive response by the United States is also a sign of how greater attention and resources have turned to efforts to fight drugs as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have wound down.

"We see Africa as the new frontier in terms of counterterrorism and counternarcotics issues," said Jeffrey P. Breeden, the chief of the D.E.A.'s Europe, Asia and Africa section. "It's a place that we need to get ahead of — we're already behind the curve in some ways, and we need to catch up."

The initiatives come amid a surge in successful interdictions in Honduras since May — but also as American officials have been forced to defend their new tactics after a commando-style team of D.E.A. agents participated in at least three lethal interdiction operations alongside


a squad of Honduran police officers. In one of those operations, in May, the Honduran police killed four people near the village of Ahuas, and in two others in the past month American agents have shot and killed smuggling suspects.

To date, officials say, the D.E.A. commando team has not been deployed to work with the newly created elite police squads in Africa, where the effort to counter the drug traffickers is said to be about three years behind the one in Central America.

The officials said that if Western security forces did come to play a more direct operational role in Africa, for historical reasons they might be European and not American.

In May, William R. Brownfield, the assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement, a leadingarchitect of the strategy now on display in Honduras, traveled to Ghana and Liberia to put the finishing touches on a West Africa Cooperative Security Initiative, which will try to replicate across 15 nations the steps taken in battling trafficking groups operating in Central America and Mexico.

Mr. Brownfield said the vision for both regions was to improve the ability of nations to deal with drug trafficking, by building up their own institutions and getting them to cooperate with one another, sharing intelligence and running regional law enforcement training centers.

But because drug traffickers have already moved into Africa, he said, there is also a need for the immediate elite police units that have been trained and vetted.

"We have to be doing operational stuff right now because things are actually

This required little training as animals responded to the stimulus almost reflexively. Stimuli were presented manually and introduced suddenly from behind a black curtain while the animal was fixating. Additionally, on some trials, the ball remained hidden behind the opaque curtain and was tapped on the side of the apparatus to produce an auditory stimulus. If the animal oriented to and approached any test stimulus it was rewarded there, but could also move directly ahead to obtain a similar reward at the fixation point.

Description: The internationally renowned string quartet had been performing together for most of their adult lives when their lead violinist suddenly died, leaving the remaining three confused about their lives and careers. Up till then, all they had known were the rigors of constant practice and traveling. Music was everything, and they never took the time to sample Life's other pleasures. The trio decide to split up, but then a young violinist shows up and convinces them to reform the group and let him take over. He is one of the most talented players they have ever heard and the quartet once again makes sweet music. But as good as he is on stage, the youth is a wild man off stage who freely smokes dope, sleeps withfans, and parties whenever he can. Seeing that his private life has not affected the brilliance of his playing and even suspecting that it may even improve his playing, the three old players are thrown into personal tail spins as they look back at their own austere life choices.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide


Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced investment in a concept and development phase for the vessels – called littoral strike ships.

It represents part of the Navy’s vision for the future of amphibious warfare, alongside plans for the future of the Royal Marines.

These ships would form the backbone of a littoral strike group, a scalable force made up of different elements of the fleet and the future commando force.

They would each be forward deployed, permanently away from UK shores, to exert global influence on behalf of the UK government.

Major General Charlie Stickland, Commandant General Royal Marines, said: «This announcement to accelerate the concept and assessment stages of future littoral strike ships brings us one step closer to realising our ambitions for the future commando force».

The work announced by the Secretaryflexibility to deal with a crisis anywhere in the world.

The ships would need to be versatile enough to handle a range of different missions in all types of environments, and they would also be able to work as part of a larger strike group.

Key to their success are the Royal Marines, remade as the future commando force and enhanced with their own cutting-edge technology – and the ability to be more lethal, agile and far-reaching than ever before.

1 Petitioners named James Aiken, Warden of Central Correctional Insti-
tution where they were then incarcerated, and the South Carolina Attor-
ney General as Respondents in their petitions. Subsequently, Michael W.
Moore, Director of the South Carolina Department of Corrections, was
substituted for Aiken. For ease of reference, we refer to Respondents col-
lectively as "the State" throughout this opinion.

    men were
introduced into evidence. Gilbert's confession indicated that he ini-
tially remained outside the store while Gleaton went inside. Gilbert
stated:

        [Stoudemire] reached into his pocket and I ran into the sta-

contradiction concerning the nature of the wounds inflicted,
providing a graphic picture of the attack. The pathologist described
five stab wounds to different areas of Stoudemire's chest and two
defensive slash wounds to his left arm. The two defensive slash
wounds were delivered with such force that the first was stopped only
by the bone in Stoudemire's arm and the second actually cut into his
wrist joint. The stab wounds to Stoudemire's chest were delivered
with similar or greater force. For example, one of the wounds indi-
cated that Gleaton's knife entered Stoudemire's body at the center of
his chest and left "a fairly large gaping wound that simply cut the skin
open. [The knife] was stopped by the bones of the chest." J.A. 1419.
Another injury was described as "a stab wound that came in just

The locking member has a first end attached to the base portion with the locking member extending along the interior passage from the first end to a second, free end that is in engagement with the bearing surface. The first end of the locking member is flexibly attached to the base portion such that the free end can be flexed outwardly away from the interior passage while providing an inwardly directed force. This permits the sleeve to be assembled onto the sealed end and slid towards the interior space with the free end being flexed outwardly during movement of the sleeve towards the interior space and the free end thereafter moving inwardly towards the passage when the free end reaches and engages the bearing surface.Joseph Delaney Book Signing (Nov 13)

A real treat was in store for our Y6 children who were invited to QEGS to meet Joseph Delaney the children’s author famous for his ‘Spooks’ series. In fact one of his books is being made into a Hollywood Blockbuster with Jeff Bridges playing the lead part! Joseph entertained us for 45 minutes as he told us what inspired him to become a writer. He was born and brought up in Preston where he loved books and visiting the library. One of his earliest memories is of his mum putting him on the bus to the library each week! He talked to us about how he motivated him self to write, how he kept going, how he reflected and improved his initial efforts.


His main message was to never, ever, ever give up!

When he first looked for a publisher to show an interest in his books, He had so many rejection letters that he lost count, but he kept going and in the end he achieved SUCCESS! He talked to us about editors who act as writing buddies and give him constructive advice. Joseph talked about the power of someone else looking over your shoulder as a writer and making really valuable suggestions! We bought several ‘Spooks’ books for school, and they have all been taken out– this is a very good sign!!This advertisement is so interesting to me. It typifies us so many things about Victorian Clarendon Park life.

Number 241 Avenue Road Extension was a shop. In 1891 it was occupied by John and Elizabeth Clayton (and her mother), who also kept boarders. Census night was 5th April 1891 and E.L., whoever he was, had presumably found a job and moved out. He was almost certainly a boarder rather than a family member (Elizabeth’s maiden name was Rawlins). There was a surprising amount of mobility in and out of Clarendon Park, and also within it – a bit like the student population today I suppose. Boarders were particularly likely to move frequently, in search of better landlords or a more convenient location.

As to E.L. – well, I have found

for the Southern District of West Virginia seeking injunctive and
declaratory relief against the West Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals and Justices Workman and Starcher. Thecould give the case a fair hearing because of their personal rela-

by both the refusals of Justices Workman and Starcher to recuse
themselves and the failure of the West Virginia Supreme Court

The Badger Inn

My sister and brother in law live in Cheshire so we quite often meet and go out for lunch at a local venue. On our last excursion we had our lunch at The Badger Inn in the village of Church Minshull which is sort of between Nantwich and Winsford in Cheshire.

When we arrived there was a large empty car park so no problem with parking. We went in and it seemed that once again we were going to be eating alone in the restaurant as no one else was around at all. We ordered our drinks and toyed with the idea of sitting in the bar area of the comfy looking leather sofa near the wood burning stove butthe arrangement of cushions looked so neat that we decided to go straight to our table. It was nice to get my white wine spritzers with soda water and ice as asked as so often I end up with lemonade and have to ask for it to be changed.

It was lovely and warm throughout the place from the bar area with it polished wooden floors and wood burning stove all the way through to the quite sizeable restaurant also with polished wooden floors. The place has been extended with a sort of conservatory large windows so the place was nice and light. The ceilings were wooden and beamed with twigs and branches with small lights decorating it and it looked really welcoming and cosy.

We were shown to our


sandwiches ,salads and side dishes so there was plenty of choice for both veggies and carnivores on the menu.

As I said the two men went for the smoked haddock dish and judging by the noises made it was to their satisfaction. My husband commented a couple of times on the way home as to how much he had enjoyed the dish but as it was topped with a poached egg it didn't tempt me.

I finally chose the oven baked brie with salad and trio of chutneys with herby crostini and was really pleased with it. I would have liked a bit more salad as the baked cheese it quite rich. The chutneys were really yummy, one was a chilli jam, another was a red cabbage and onion oneand residences on the west side of Peter Street in Daly City, a city of the sixth class. Peter Street is a dead end street, 30 feet wide and one block long. Prior to the challenged action of the city council, the property on both sides of the street was zoned R-3, or third class residential, which permits multiple dwelling units such as apartment houses as well as single family dwellings. Ordinance Number 294 was then in effect. It was a general zoning ordinance of the areas of the city. On plaintiffs' side of the street there were exclusively single unit dwelling houses. On the other side of the street up to November, 1955, the lots were vacant but in that month some unsightly houses were moved in.

 The final action of the commission and the one upon which the council acted in adopting ordinances Number 421 and Number 422 was taken April 11, 1956. The minutes of the commission meeting of that date show "The petition of A. Neville for rezoning ..." was heard. Certain persons spoke for and against the rezoning. A motion was then carried "to send a letter to the City Council recommending the complete rezoning from R-3 to C-1." (Emphasis added.) Section 65652 requires that the recommendation of any amendment to a zoning ordinance be by resolution of the commission. This was done here merely by motion.

Trenholm has played a key role in student success with the opening of the Student Success Center (SSC) in 2014, helping the program make a name for itself as a life-changing resource for students. All of this dedication and hard work has sure paid off for Trenholm students, with increased student success evident across several key measures.

A decision to ask the UN General Assembly to establish an international commission to investigate the circumstances of Arafat's death was taken at an Arab League meeting in Cairo on Saturday.

'Russia has no stakes in this game'

Arafat died in France on November 11, 2004 at the age of 75, but doctors were unable to specify the cause of death. No autopsy was carried out at the time, in line with his widow's request.

His remains were exhumed in November 2012, partly to investigate whether he had been poisoned with radioactive polonium, a suspicion that grew after the substancewas used to assassinate Russian ex-spy and Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in 2006.

Some 60 samples were taken and divided between Swiss and Russian investigators as well as a French team carrying out the probe at the request of Arafat's widow, Suha. The French have also ruled out radioactive poisoning.

Suha Arafat has told AFP that she was "completely convinced that the martyr Arafat did not die a natural death."

Fyodor Lukyanov, head of the Kremlin-friendly Council on Foreign and Defence Policy, said he saw no reason for the Russian experts to distort the results of their findings.

"At the time of his death Arafat was no longer a figure defining Palestine-Israeli relations. Russia has no stakes whatsoever in this game."

The invention relates to a method for operating a hot rolling train with at least one edger and at least one sensor for determining the position of the ends of the strip, an optimization of the strip width distribution of at least one end of a rolled strip being achieved by means of a calculating system.
The invention also relates to a device for operating a hot rolling train with at least one edger and at least one sensor for determining the position of the ends of the strip, an optimization of the strip width distribution of at least one end of a rolled strip being achieved by means of a calculating system.
One of the main problems when rolling strips, for example strip steel, is the achievement of arectangular basic form with a constant width over the length of the strip. In a hot rolling train, vertical rolling stands, which are also referred to as edgers, serve for controlling the width of the strip. To be able to achieve a favorable formation of the ends of the strip and good constancy of the width of the strip over the entire length of the strip, the edgers are equipped with high-speed hydraulic adjusting systems.
If the edgers are operated with constant adjustment, the rolled strip generally becomes narrower at the ends of the strip, that is the head of the strip and the foot of the strip, than in the middle part on account of the unsymmetrical material flow and other effects. Starting out from the rectangular rolled


strip form, width constrictions are obtained at the ends of the strip after an edging operation, i.e. when the rolled strip runs through the edger.
The state of stress during the edging operation leads to what is known as nosing of the head of the strip and consequently to width dimensions which, depending on the degree of edging, lie far below the adjusted setting of the edger.
In a similar way, depending on the degree of edging, this forming process also brings about negative width deviations at the rear end of the strip, i.e. at the foot of the strip, the flat pass that follows in a horizontal stand leading to a rolled strip contour which is known as a fishtail formation.
The underwidths or width constrictions occurring at the endsof the strip are primarily attributable to the asymmetrical compressive and shearing stresses in the region of the ends of the strip, introduced by the edgers and leading to an increased longitudinal flow of material because of the absence of material support. As deformation progresses, an increase in the change in vertical form comes about at the same time as the change in linear form lessens, and leads to a bead formation along the edges of the strip. This bead formation along the edges of the strip is also referred to as a dogbone form.
To counteract the fishtail formation and the formation of the so-called dogbone form, the adjusting position of the edgers is adjustable during the running through of the strip, the adjustment of the edger being


opened up further, in the form of short strokes, as the ends of the rolled strip run through, in relation to the middle part. This adjustment correction at the ends of the rolled strip, i.e. at the head of the strip and at the foot of the strip, takes place in a way corresponding to an operating curve, which can be defined by predetermined operating curve parameters.
A major factor in avoiding fishtail formation and the dogbone form is the correctly timed activation of the operating curve. Depending on the position of the rolled strip, adjustment corrections to the edger are activated at the ends of the rolled strip, i.e. at the head of the strip and at the foot of the strip. To be able to carry outat least one edger and at least one sensor for determining the position of the ends of the strip, which device permits a more reliable determination of the position of the ends of the rolled strip.
The object is achieved according to the invention by a method as claimed in claim 1. The object is further achieved according to the invention by a device as claimed in claim 7. Advantageous developments of the method and of the device are specified in the further claims.
The method according to the invention as claimed in comprises a linear recording of the infrared radiation from the rolled strip for determining the position of the ends of the strip.
The device according to the invention also includes operating a rolling train with at least one


edger and at least one sensor for determining the position of the ends of the strip, an optimization of the strip width distribution of at least one end of a rolled strip being achieved by means of a calculating system, comprises a sensor which is designed as an infrared linear sensor, which is arranged upstream and/or downstream of the edger.
The problem presented at the beginning of determining the position of the ends of the rolled strip, which is made more difficult by adverse ambient conditions, such as for example by water or scale located on the rolled strip, is now solved by an infrared linear sensor. The infrared linear sensor linearly records the infrared radiation given off by the rolled strip on a predeterminable measuring area.
An advantageous refinementof the use of the infrared linear sensor is that the predeterminable measuring area runs transversely in relation to the running direction of the strip. An advantage of this alignment chosen transversely in relation to the running of the strip is that, in addition to the detection of the ends of the strip, i.e. the head of the strip (the end of the strip running into the edger first) and the foot of the strip (the end of the strip running out of the edger), a detection of the edges of the strip is also carried out. This involves determining the position of the width of the strip, with respect to the center of the rolled strip running in the longitudinal direction of said rolled strip.
A further advantageous


refinement of the use of the infrared linear sensor is that the predeterminable measuring area runs longitudinally in relation to the running direction of the strip. With this alignment, cold spots lying transversely in relation to the rolled strip do not influence the detection of the ends of the strip, since the measuring area, set longitudinally in relation to the running direction of the strip, covers an extended longitudinal region of the rolled strip, and consequently also permit plausibility checks. These plausibility checks at the same time represent a higher degree of dependability and accuracy of the measured value detection.
According to an advantageous refinement, the recording of the position of the ends of the strip takes place upstream of the edger.

Mourners


He is not even one year into Test cricket, but already Rishabh Pant is the most misunderstood current India cricketer. He is playing the wrong format for starters, that too almost by accident. It is his time spent in the other formats, where people tend to misunderstand his batting.

Pant is unlike any other Indian batsman before him. He truly is from the next generation of batting. He has a range of shots that Indian batsmen are discouraged from even dreaming about. He looks to hit in the middle overs in both shorter formats. He looks to hit big from ball one of both formats. He hits to all parts of the ground. He takes high risks. He plays not for the average but for the thrill, for thequick runs, for what the team needs. Yet he is kept away from those sides because he plays what is conventionally thought of as immature cricket. Getting out playing a reverse lap against a fast bowler is considered worse than prodding along and letting the asking rate climb.

Then an accident happened when Pant looked set for an idle summer at home. Wriddhiman Saha's injury was poorly handled, and he ended up being ruled out for a year. The selectors were caught unawares as this came to them only days before the Test selection for the tour of England. Still not considered good enough to play international limited-overs cricket, Pant was not even the next in line for longer formats. India A's four-day side on the shadow tour of


England had KS Bharat as the wicketkeeper.

Bharat was being groomed as Saha's successor until emergency struck and India didn't want to send someone who didn't have the experience of the spotlights to England. So Pant was quickly drafted into the A side, and two failures from Dinesh Karthik later, he was keeping in the most difficult land to keep wicket against seam.

play 5:59 Agarkar: No need to worry about Pant's wicketkeeping right now Sanjay Manjrekar, Ajit Agarkar and Damien Martyn discuss Rishabh Pant's batting and wicketkeeping skills

It has been an extremely tough initiation for Pant. His footwork was not up to it for the late movement in England. His batting was soon found out to be either six or block. Against good bowling in testing conditions, he didn'tseem to have a shot to get off the strike. By their own admission, India had thrown a kid into the deep end, and he was learning to swim right in front of our eyes. His byes were talked about more than his runs. Highlight reels were being cut from his byes. Often the byes were higher were his runs. He was dropping catches. He scored the hundred at The Oval, but it was when England hardly bowled their main bowlers for a majority of the final day, and once saving the Test became a distinct possibility Pant went back to a six-or-block game and got out.

What Pant did bring was great attitude. He was not going to be a victim. He was going to find a way.


He was not embarrassed even though the very nature of a wicket-keeping job is its ruthlessness if you are not up for it. He would be on the ground having conceded another set of byes, but he would do a kip-up to get back up on his feet. He is a gymnast, but also possibly a fan of Shawn Michaels, the professional wrestler. He was enjoying his time in the sun. He was a 20-year-old kid calling all his seniors by their name and without a title next to it, another rarity in Indian cricket and, in fact, in India. It surprised Sunil Gavaskar, who has seen Indian cricket closer than most.

Where did Pant get all this confidence from? From his game, evidently. He had come this farbased on his game, he was not going to change it, or his own person. His spirit and positivity made him a favourite in the team.

Over in Australia he found himself in the spotlight again. He scored streaky 20s but Nathan Lyon had a grip on him with catches flying out to the men in the deep. Wicket-keeping remained a difficult job with pitches in Perth and Melbourne displaying uneven bounce. Pant's feet movement still needs work but he kept throwing himself around to keep the byes count low. Important catches went down. He revealed himself to not be the most natural catcher in front of slip.

The broadcaster turned Pant into a wind-up toy, letting him do


their job of providing entertainment and insights. All through the series, especially the first three Tests, Pant was just a source of amusement. He was setting records for most dismissals, but he was struggling with the really difficult chances. It would have been easy to say 'I was not ready for this, and I should be playing the format that I am more suited to right now', but Pant kept turning up with a smile, with the fitness, with a kip-up to get off his back. He has never been down on himself, and if the wicketkeeper is a barometer of a team's spirits, India's have been pretty high.

Without meaning to, the selectors, the team, the broadcasters have all set Pant up to fail by putting him ina format he is not yet ready for, by asking him to go for a win at The Oval when it was not possible, by turning up the stumps mic for dubious reasons. Pant has gone through all that with a smile. Which is why not one soul will grudge him day two of the SCG Test.

No century is easy, but it will be fair to say Pant's second, 159 not out at a strike rate of 84, which buried Australia under a mountain of runs, was not the toughest of five scored by Indian batsmen on this tour. At the press conference after that hundred, he said what you hear of him on the stump mic is just him, that he is not conscious of being heard

Panthers quarterback Jimmy Clausen, in the meantime, has yet to throw his first pass of the game.

The Bengals took their third possession on a 53-yard drive culminated by Cedric Benson's 1-yard run. The drive was helped considerably by two officials' calls that went against Carolina.

First, on a critical pass to Terrell Owens, the Panthers thought they had gotten Owens to fumble the ball after catching it. However, officials ruled his forward progress had been stopped -- which looked iffy on the replays. John Fox threw his challenge flag but to no avail, because you can't challenge forward progress.

BRIDGEPORT -- Nearly two months after a group of city firefighters asked the federal government to investigate alleged discrimination in the local fire service, a state lawmaker wants the city to review its hiring practices in the Bridgeport Police Department.

"I believe the police department needs to be a reflection of the city, and that people in the city of Bridgeport need to be given an opportunity to work in their own city," said Stallworth, pastor of the East End Baptist Tabernacle Church.

City officials, however, contendthe state Legislature, which recently convened its spring session.

Instead, Stallworth said, he wants an investigation by the city, its Civil Service Commission and community leaders, including local politicians and religious leaders from the Hispanic and African-American communities.

Stallworth, who wants to be part of the process, said including community leaders would bring people who "have no vested interests and no commitments when it comes to returning political favors."

The Bridgeport Police Department said 43 percent of its 425 sworn officers are of minority ethnic backgrounds, with Hispanic officers comprising about 27 percent of the police force and African-American officers making up about 15 percent.

There are also 43 female officers on the force, according to police department officials. If women are also counted as a minority, the proportion of minorities in


Anakbayan New Jersey Stands Alongside the Victims of the Kentex Factory Fire, Demand Justice & Accountability for All Workers

Anakbayan New Jersey sends its deep condolences to the workers and victims’ families of the Kentex factory fire. We vehemently condemn Kentex Manufacturing Incorporated, the Department of Labor and Employment, and the Aquino Administration for failing to ensure the proper health and safety standards for the Kentex workers and other workers across the Philippines. As Filipinx American and immigrant youth and students, we stand alongside the workers who have paid the ultimate price for producing profit for big business.

On May 13, 2015, 72 workers were burned to death and 20 more went missing at Kentex Manufacturing Incorporated, the biggest factory fire in the Philippines. Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz alleged thatthe Department of Labor and Employment inspected the factory in September 18, 2014 as did the Bureau of Fire Protection. However, Kilusang Mayo Uno (May 1st Movement), among various other labor organizations found violations of standards pertaining to general labor conditions and occupational health and safety in an investigation following the fire. Most likely, these violations caused the fatal conditions seen through the lack of fire exits, mishandling of volatile chemicals, and absence of smoke and fire alarms.

The Kentex factory tragedy began years before May 13th. The fire was a mere culmination of the socioeconomic death trap that is the sweatshop industry in the Philippines and other developing nations. Although the Kentex workers have been employed for almost two decades, they did not receive a clear contract or


go? Will they continue to be pushed out of the country to find work elsewhere, like us, products of Labor Export Policy? Or will they be forced to become accustomed to the stifling heat of corruption, only to be subjected to long-term death by chemical exposure and socioeconomic exploitation or short-term death by fire?

Although the Philippines boasts that it has the world’s fastest growing economy, the Kentex factory fire illustrates the price at which it must come and begs the question: for whom? An entire family was burned to death as both parents and three children worked for Kentex, leaving behind an orphaned child in primary school. The three high school youth sought to help through a summer job at the factory, while attempting to attain socioeconomic mobilityby earning their education during the school year. Their deaths were manufactured by the Philippines’ semi-colonial, semi-feudal character, built to profit the few and the imperialist plunderer.

Youth and students are the next generation of workers, farmers, and professionals, but what future are they promising us when all that faces us under this system is tragedy? When our education system has become just as much a money-making machine as our government, the youth are being funneled into exploitative low-wage, seasonal work. Everyone is being burned alive at the hands of corrupt business.

However, the responsibility cannot fall solely on employers to ensure an appropriate working environment. Business owners take after the profit-driven framework of the Philippine economy. We must demand accountability from the government that neglects to ensure the health


and safety of its people. The Department of Labor and Employment and Interior Secretary, Mar Roxas, has been an advocate for big business, and not the workers. The suffering of the Filipinx working class, both at home and abroad, is directly caused by the Aquino administration and its cronies, who protect multinational corporate interests over the livelihood and wellbeing of the ordinary citizen.

This past year alone, we have witnessed countless failures by the bureaucrat capitalist and puppet administration of BS Aquino The tragedy of the Kentex factory fire is on the coattails of the Save Mary Jane campaign, which was only partially won due to the people’s international and domestic efforts. She still remains incarcerated in Indonesia. BS Aquino’s inaction is consistent with the Mamasapano tragedy, another displayFrancisco.

The construction work of the mega project of Sukkur-Multan motorway has been completed, and it will open for the traffic during the month of August 2019.

According to the spokesman of Chinese foreign ministry, the motorway project which started back in September 2016 has been finally completed. The scheduled plan for its completion was set by September 2019, which seems to be accomplished a month before. The mega-project continued for three years, which involved thousands of local working staff. It generated as many as 29,000 jobs for the local workers, which is another positive element of the project.

When Derrick Rose went down with a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs, Chicago Bulls management made it clear that they wanted their guy Kirk Hinrich to run the show at point guard for the time being.

Hinrich, who was originally drafted by the Bulls in 2003, returned to Chicago after being traded to the Washington Wizards in the summer of 2010. He also got more than what he bargained for when Rose went down yet again early in the 2013-14 season with a torn meniscus. Due to Rose’s injury, Hinrich was thrusted into the starting lineup for a second consecutive season.

Although he had his struggles in the 2014 playoffs, Hinrich did have a respectable season nonetheless. He averaged nine points, four


assists, and two rebounds per game. While his stats won’t blow anyone away, Hinrich has drawn praise from head coach Tom Thibodeau for his ability to run the offense, and also for his defensive capabilities. He also received two votes to make the All-Defensive Team from writers and broadcasters.

However, Hinrich is also 33-years-old and is a free agent this summer. While the Bulls would love to have Hinrich back to finally play behind Rose, they more than likely do not want to spend more than the veteran minimum to bring him back. The Bulls also have backup D.J. Augustin as a free agent, and will try to bring him back as well if he takes a discount to stay in Chicago.

At the time the use of the KD was hyped due to limited alternatives, falling out of favour in the late 1930s due to its unpalatability and the emergence of AEDs like phenytoin \[[@B26-jcm-06-00056],[@B27-jcm-06-00056],[@B28-jcm-06-00056]\].

The interest in the diet was re-ignited in the sixties due to growing evidence of its broad neuroprotective effects. The

Part of the Jumanji franchise, the film is a sequel to the 1995 Jumanji, which was based on the 1981 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. It pays tribute to Robin Williams, the star of the first film, bymentioning his character's name.In addition, a replica of the board game piece used by Williams's character also appears as a clue for the Jumanji game's new players. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and Bobby Cannavale. Set twenty-one years after Jumanji, it follows four teenagers who are transported into the video game world of Jumanji and play as their chosen characters. Joining another player, they must overcome the game's magical power to win and return home.

That film has quietly become one of the most heralded classics from the Studio Ghibli canon since its release in 1995, a picture of youths in the midst of discovering their potential inside themselves at the same time that they discover it in one another, providing a canny portrait not only of young love but the journey of self-love. The demands and challenges of the real world are never quite as convincing and real as they are here, as they stand in the way of not only a young girl’s burgeoning crush with a boy about to move away to find himself, but also her own slowly gestating personal ambitions to become a writer. In that film, the brief glimpses we see of the fantasy novel she


than a mere look at childhood crushes and into a graceful portrait of adolescence in all its facets. Even most of the fantasy elements are inventions of the film– only the inciting “character” of the Baron cat-statue is present in both, the original manga ending just at the moment when the young girl is first encouraged to begin a tentative pursuit of her dream to write. We never see the fantastic adventures she dreams up for the Baron herself in that manga, though they become a subplot all their own in the Miyazaki/Kondo film, and one that deepens connections already present from the original book. As such, when Aoi Hiragi’s Baron: The Cat Returns was released, with its emphasis on the high-flying adventures of a porcelain cat cometo life, it was less a sequel to her own original manga or even to the filmed version of it, and more a sequel to the story written by the girl in that film– the second chapter to a story within a story.

And what is that story? A fun enough trifle of a fairy-tale involving an ordinary teenage girl who saves a cat from being run over by a truck, only to discover that he is the prince of a kingdom of talking felines and that she is soon to be “honored” with the prospect of becoming his wife, like it or not. Soon enough she finds herself being whisked away to the magical kingdom, where she’ll turn into a cat herself if the Baron and his motley


assortment of friends don’t come to her rescue in time, resulting in an escalating series of comic adventures and misadventures that seem to poke gentle fun at the conventions of the animated fairy-tale as much as they live up to them (not that different from the Shrek or Puss in Boots films from DreamWorks, but without all the distracting pop-culture references). The fact that Ghibli had commissioned Hiragi to invent this new manga (originally at the behest of a theme park that wanted a short production, before turning it into a feature of their own) further complicates the authorship and origins, as most of the returning characters resemble more their Whisper of the Heart incarnations than their manga counterparts. The most obvious example is the train-commuting cat Muta–a slim black-cat in Hiragi’s original, but a plump butterball in the Miyazaki/Kondo film, a trait that continues here. Hiragi embellishes the Ghibli characterization by giving Muta the same disgruntled, cynical voice that Jim Davis’ Garfield has, which at once feels a natural fit to the version from the earlier film while at the same time diminishing just a little bit of the realism that movie relished upon. The Muta of Whisper of the Heart is convincing as an actual cat, whereas in The Cat Returns, he resembles more a cartoon character.

At the same time, Hiragi stretches her imagination throughout her story in ways that alternately strain to reach the same heights and expectations of Studio Ghibli storytelling, and at other times match it almost perfectly. On the


the major sequences with only minor abridgement to fit into the shorter-than-average feature running time. What results is a movie that stands out from the Ghibli fold, even as it remains tied to the same conventions of fantasy storytelling and even visual theatrics that served it in the past– some of the latter palace chase bits almost seem patterned after the Miyazaki-animated Puss in Boots, which the director would later recycle in bits and pieces for Castle of Cagliostro and Castle in the Sky.

To determine the long-term risk of intestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies in Crohn's disease patients in Copenhagen County, Denmark. In Copenhagen County, a strictly population-based cohort of 374 patients with Crohn's disease diagnosed between 1962 and 1987 was followed until 1997 in order to determine the long-term risk of intestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies. Information on cancer occurrence was provided by the Danish National Cancer Registry and confirmed by the examination of hospital files. The observed number of cases was compared with the expected number, calculated from individually computed person-years at risk and 1995 cancer incidence rates for the background population. The risk of small bowel adenocarcinoma was significantly increased, independent of age and gender


in the Japanese application, one wheel spindle has a straight grinding wheel (G1) at one end thereof and also has an angular grinding wheel (G2) at the other end thereof. For a grinding operation with the straight grinding wheel, the wheel head is turned a predetermined angle about a center shaft (13) to bring the one wheel spindle in parallel relation to a traverse feed direction of a work table. For another grinding operation with the angular grinding wheel, on the other hand, the wheel head is turned another predetermined angle about the center shaft to bring the generatrix of a grinding surface facing a workpiece of the angular grinding wheel into parallel relation to the traverse feed direction of the work table.
In the cylindrical grinding machine ofthis kind, a swivel drive unit composed of a worm and worm-wheel mechanism for turning the wheel head and a positioning and fixing unit composed of a curved-gear coupling for positioning the wheel head to a designed angular position are arranged to be spaced long therebetween in the vertical direction (the swivel axis direction) of the wheel head. This unavoidably causes the position of the wheel spindle to go far away in the vertical direction from the top surface of a bed of the grinding machine and hence, gives rise to a problem that the wheel head is lowered in rigidity against a rotational moment and is liable to be inclined by the grinding resistance.

Volunteers

Since 1953, hospital volunteers have served Wyoming Medical Center patients, families and staff. They are often the first people visitors see when entering the hospital.

Jack Laird was honored for 7,500 hours of service to Wyoming Medical Center.

Volunteers can choose from more than 20 service areas including escorting patients and families throughout the hospital, working in the Cottage Gift Shop, manning information desks, delivering flowers, assisting the chaplains and more. They are often the liaison between the family and the physician while a loved one is in surgery.

Our volunteer program is unique. Not only do our volunteers donate their time, but proceeds from the volunteer-run gift shop and other yearly fundraisers benefit both hospital staff and patients. Volunteers fund the WMC Wish List which provides medical equipment andsupplies to specific departments and floor. Volunteers also support the hospital's scholarship program and Benevolent Fund.

Wherever they work, WMC volunteers provide a welcoming smile and caring attitude for all who pass through our doors.

In 2008 it was reported that non-medical use of pain relievers among the population aged 12 or older in the United States was second highest in prevalence among illicit drugs, after marijuana. Abuse of prescription pharmaceutical products follows the increasing availability of opioid dosage forms due to the more aggressive treatment of chronic pain in the populace. The increasing number of abusers, increasing availability, and the destructive/addictive potential of opiates make prescription pharmaceutical abuse a matter of public health concern.
Several routes of administration are commonly attempted by abusers. For example, the pharmaceutical dosage form may be chewed, or it may be crushed or pulverized into a powder and administered intranasally (i.e., snorted). Alternatively, the intact or tampered pharmaceutical dosage form may be dissolved in a suitable solvent andan exceptionally useful reference tool.

Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah says Malaysia is seeking to address the issue of the South China Sea in an Asean-centric way instead of via bilateral methods. — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim

KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 — Malaysia is seeking to address the issue of the South China Sea in an Asean-centric way instead of via bilateral methods, said Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.

He said the claims by China over sovereignty of the South China Sea is “a bit overboard”, adding it was often joked about what would happen if India decided to do the same to the Indian Ocean.

“Malaysia is sticking to Asean-central ways of dealing with China. It is asking each of us, with the exception of a few such as Myanmar, if it can discuss theplace where people not only come to do business, but to exert their geopolitical influence.

“We are aware of that, and we tell them that we welcome them to do business, but also emphasise that we want this area to be known as a trade region of peace,” he said.

China uses a vague demarcation system known as the Nine-Dash Line in claiming a major portion of the South China Sea. This includes contested areas such as the Spratly islands, the Paracel Islands, the Scarborough Shoal, and the Macclesfield Bank.

However in July 2016 China's claims were ruled against by an arbitral tribunal which gathered under the United Nations' Convention on the Law of the Sea's Annex VII, which had been requested by the Philippines. In turn both it and the

'Call of Duty: Black Ops II' leads weak November video-game sales

Nintendo sold 425,000 of its new Wii U console within a week in November,… (Robin Van Lonkhuisen )

The launch of the biggest video games of the year was only enough to lessen the long-running slump in retail video game sales.

U.S. game industry receipts were down 11% in November, the month that saw the debut of such hot titles as “Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” “Halo 4” and “Assassin’s Creed III” -- the top three titles of the month, in that order. Searching for a silver lining, NPD Group analyst Liam Callahan noted that “November had the smallest year-over-year decrease we have seen for dollar and unit sales so far this year.”

Nintendo launched its new Wii U onthe Sunday before Thanksgiving and sold 425,000 units by Saturday, Nov. 24. That's slightly less than the 475,000 units that the original Wii sold in its first week on sale in 2006.

However, the Wii remained a decent seller this holiday season, moving 420,000 units in November.

The Japanese game giant's portable 3DS sold 540,000 units, compared with 370,000 for the standard DS.

Sony did not immediately release sales data for its PlayStation 3 or PS Vita devices.

Half of all game sales in November were for the Xbox 360, Callahan said, a gain of eight share points over the same month in 2011.

Other games that sold well in November included “Just Dance 4,” “Madden NFL 13” and “Skylander Giants.” Toys tied to “Skylanders,” which let children play with characters from the

MPs from across the political spectrum have criticised the government for continuing to sell weapons to the Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Much of the criticism has revolved around Saudi-backed bombing of a bus carrying school children and an attack targeting a wedding.

But Labour’s Graham Jones said responsibility for the spiralling emergency in Yemen lay with Tehran-backed Ansar Allah rebels, likening their missile attacks on Saudi targets to Nazi V2 attacks on Britain during the Second World War.

Mr Jones, who chairs the Commons Committees on Arms Exports Controls (CAEC), told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme

Some of the most strident criticism has come from Labour, with frontbench figures including party leader Jeremy Corbyn vowing to end Saudi arms sales if it is elected.

But Conservative MP and


former cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell also criticised arms sales to the Saudi kingdom on Wednesday, saying Britain was “complicit” in creating the famine in Yemen.

CAEC is an overarching committee which brings together four select committees – defence, foreign affairs, international trade and international development – that have an interest in the arms trade as part of their scrutiny role.

It emerged on Saturday that aid projects in Yemen funded by Oxfam have been hit in Saudi-led coalition airstrikes.

Oxfam’s head of advocacy, Toni Pearce, called British policy towards Yemen “irresponsible and incoherent”.¶ 1 The defendant, Rudy Stanko, was charged by a complaint filed in the Justice Court for Garfield County with failing to drive in a reasonable and prudent manner in violation of § 61-8-303(1), MCA. Following trial by jury, he was found guilty of that offense and was sentenced. He appealed his conviction to the District Court for the Sixteenth Judicial District in Garfield County where he was recharged by information with the same offense. In District Court, he again pled not guilty, moved to dismiss the charge against him on the basis that the statute pursuant to which he was charged was unconstitutionally vague, and following denial of that motion, received a second jury trial. He was again convicted and sentenced and now appeals that conviction to


which vehicles can be operated on Montana's highways.

¶ 4 Kenneth Breidenbach is a member of the Montana Highway Patrol who, at the time of trial and the time of the incident which formed the basis for Stanko's arrest, was stationed in Jordan, Montana. On March 10, 1996, he was on duty patrolling Montana State Highway 24 and proceeding south from Fort Peck toward Flowing Wells in “extremely light” traffic at about 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning, when he observed another vehicle approaching him from behind.

¶ 5 At Flowing Wells, where Highway 24 intersects with Montana State Highway 200, he stopped or slowed, made a right-hand turn, and proceeded west on Highway 200. About one-half mile from that intersection, in the first passing zone, the vehicle which hadbeen approaching him from behind passed him. He caught up to the vehicle and trailed the vehicle at a constant speed for a distance of approximately eight miles while observing what he referred to as the two or three second rule. He explained that the two or three second rule meant that he maintained a distance between the two vehicles that it would take two to three seconds to travel at the speeds at which the vehicles were being operated. He testified that he clocked the vehicle ahead of him at a steady 85 miles per hour during the time that he followed it. At that speed, the distance between the two vehicles was from 249 to 374 feet.
