SAN ANGELO, Texas (Reuters) - The Texas parade where four veterans were killed last week when a freight train crashed into a float did not have a permit, the city of Midland said on Tuesday.

A Union Pacific train on November 15 hit a flat bed trailer carrying wounded veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and their wives, killing four and wounding 16.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the warning signal lights flashed, the alarm sounded and the arm came down on one of the parade floats before the train traveling at 62 miles per hour hit the trailer.

Police have identified the dead as Marine Chief Warrant Officer Gary Stouffer, 37; Army Sergeant Major Lawrence Boivin, 47; Army


Sergeant Major William Lubbers, 43; and Army Sergeant Joshua Michael, 34.

In a statement, the city of Midland, a booming oil city in West Texas, said the parade sponsored by the private "Show of Support" group, did not have a permit.

"The City of Midland did not issue a permit, nor did the city receive a permit application from the Show of Support organization," said Midland spokesman Ryan Stout.

It was not immediately clear if the organization had sought and received permits in previous years. It was the third year the parade had used the same route.a few years ago as she was standing in a public restroom.

Emily Ingalls and Tracey Lind

Tracey Lind: I was washing my hands and I looked in the mirror and I did not recognize my own face.

Bill Whitaker: Didn't recognize yourself.

Tracey Lind: No. I looked in the mirror, and I kept looking, and I remember I kept looking at this woman wondering "who was she?"

This is who she was: the Very Reverend Tracey Lind, dean of the Episcopal Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio, one of the city's most prominent preachers and civic leaders. She was 61 years old when both she and her spouse Emily Ingalls began to notice trouble with things Tracey had always done very well; like finding the right word, recognizing congregants and friends' faces, and of


FTD patient Thomas Cox and his wife Lori. At first glance, Thomas seems fine, but he's not.

Thomas Cox: I've got FTD.

Dr. Bruce Miller: Okay. And has that affected you so far?

Thomas Cox: No.

In fact, Lori Cox says that starting a few years ago, Thomas lost interest in her, in their son, and in his work so much that he was fired from his job. By now, he's pretty much reduced to looking at photos on his phone.

Thomas Cox: That's Bugatti (PH).

Lori Cox: That's our dog. (LAUGH)

Dr. Bruce Miller: Ah. Your dog.

Lori Cox: I can blame the disease. I can say that the disease stole my— my husband.

Dr. Bruce Miller: Yes.

Thomas and Lori Cox

Dr. Bruce Miller: When a family sees someone with this illness, they don't recognize them. Thisbeing a caring, doting father and husband and it just seemed like he flipped a switch off. And he had no idea that he had changed. He had no idea.

Amy Johnson and her husband Mark married in 2006, settled in the small Minnesota town of Windom, and now have four young children - three boys and a girl. Three years ago, Amy says Mark suddenly seemed to stop caring about her and the kids.

Amy Johnson: That's the first time that I really remember thinking to myself, "What happened? Where did you go?"

Amy recalls a day when she left Mark in charge of their sons, then three and two, only to come home and find the boys playing outside, alone by a busy street, while Mark sat inside watching


TV, oblivious. On other days, he began to display compulsive behavior she had never seen before.

Amy Johnson: He couldn't stop eating. I started locking the food up. He would walk down to the grocery store and buy more. I took his credit card. He'd walk down to the grocery store and steal food.

Bill Whitaker: And these changes that you saw, did you ask him, "What's going on?"

Amy Johnson: Yeah. And he just said, "Oh, I don't think anything's different, is it?"

It was. Mark began making inappropriate remarks to a female co-worker at the company where he worked as a manufacturing engineer.

Bill Whitaker: He was fired?

Amy Johnson: Uh-huh (AFFIRM). And his reaction was, "Oh— oh, I guess okay. So what's for supper tonight?"

Bill Whitaker: What was your reaction?

Amy Johnson:'that's a bad idea' doesn't work anymore."

Mark and Amy Johnson

Mark Johnson now lives in a facility about an hour away from home. He's gained nearly a hundred pounds due to compulsive eating; even walking into elderly residents' rooms and taking their food. Amy says his care now costs her nearly $7,000 a month.

Bill Whitaker: Out of pocket?

Amy Johnson: Out of pocket. He would be devastated to know that that's where his retirement savings are going and that they're not going to his family.

Crippling costs are common for FTD families, and it's often tough to find a facility to care for patients like Mark Johnson. The assisted living industry is not set up for six-foot-three 40-year-olds.

Bill Whitaker: Hello, Mark.

Amy Johnson: How's it goin'? This—

Mark Johnson: Hi.

Amy Johnson: —is Bill.

reduced to $20,000. From the evidence, the jury could have found that, as a result of the defendant's negligent use of the cast cutter, the plaintiff sustained three separate and distinct lacerations upon the fore part of her leg. The first was just below the kneecap, extending one and one-eighth inches along the mid-line. The second and more serious wound was about six inches in length along the mid-line of the shin, exposing the bone and cutting into the periosteum. The third was about one inch long on the upper aspect of the foot between the second and third metatarsal bones. The plaintiff told the defendant that he was hurting her when the cutter reached the area of the first laceration.
*577 The defendant continued to cut the cast,and the plaintiff increased her complaints of pain and cried throughout the one-half hour operation. When the cast was removed, it was bloody. The wound was open and messy and contained pieces of plaster of Paris from the cast and cotton from the padding that had been used to protect the leg and keep the cast from touching the skin. The defendant used fourteen sutures in the two lower wounds. The leg became swollen, inflamed and red; an infection developed and the wound completely broke down, requiring removal of the sutures. Dr. Beck treated the plaintiff thirty-five times from May 23 through August 22, 1955, and thereafter saw her several more times, for observation and x-rays, until November 23, 1955. The plaintiff was nervous and upset. She cried


frequently. She worried that her leg would be scarred. For two or three weeks she could not walk and had to be carried. She lost three weeks of school. She underwent considerable pain and suffering. The wounds have healed leaving permanent scars.
The first scar is just below the kneecap. It is one and one-eighth inches long and one-quarter inch wide. The most disfiguring scar is six inches long down the front of the shin. It is five-eighths of an inch wide at the upper third and one and one-half inches wide in the middle and tapers down to three-quarters of an inch. It is irregular, permanent and visible. The lower portion has developed a thick keloid formation of brownish discoloration. The scar on the top of the footis five-eighths of an inch long and three-quarters of an inch wide. The plaintiff cannot wear a shoe with straps or laces because they irritate the scar. The appearance of the largest scar might be improved by *578 plastic surgery, but the scar will be permanent.
In addition, the jury could have found that the plaintiff's physical activities have been severely curtailed. She has had to give up ballet dancing and athletic games at school and home. She has withdrawn from the normal social and group activities at home, church and school with which she had been prominently identified. Modern hosiery does not conceal the scars. The plaintiff is extremely conscious of them and fearful that her activities might produce trauma in the area and further aggravate the condition.

copiously about groups and secret societies. He grasped well the persecutory synergy between Leviathan and racket: "the secret society is so much considered an enemy of the central power that, even conversely, every group that is politically rejected, is called a secret society." (3) Secret groups and rackets exist because of the dearth of individual subjectivity and autonomy caused by the division of labour. Individuals try to compensate for this lack by voluntarily entering communities where there is an appearance of individuality, by the mere fact of not being mainstream. Simmel is one of the more important writers on rackets, and his writings on groups, subordination and domination are profoundly pertinent.

Max Weber (1864-1920) wrote on bureaucracy, castes, sects, rationality, charisma, power and authority, which throw light on rackets.aid the rackets’ survival;

- The more virulent rackets attempt to organise themselves in military fashion. The move illegalises them and places them in direct confrontation with Leviathan. This tends to deplete them of female members and increases the dysfunction of militants enormously. These rackets tend to exist more in the peripheries of the system, where Leviathans are weak and depend mostly on naked terror to survive. This method of rule unleashes an indiscriminate war between Leviathans and opposing rackets, where terror and extermination are the sole methods of asserting domination;

But where do the members of rackets come from? During the Renaissance and the Enlightenment the growing capitalist division of labour released layers of professional and cultured people no longer beneficiaries of church or royal patronage.

Some of these layers


were employed as state functionaries. A number of them remained unemployed, or underemployed. These ‘floating’ layers are the main social basis for political rackets. Historically, they aspired to:

– influence state policy;

– be employed by the state;

– take over the state to run it according to their ideology and doctrine. The state no longer was the attribute of royalty, but of ‘the people’. Because of the tendency of state capitalism, the state itself became a hugely coveted unit of capital. Its capacity as tax collector, manager of the national bank and budget, plus state enterprises, made it an ideal capitalist conglomerate. Rackets of all persuasions were formed to attain the status of parties, the necessary step to attaining state power and reaching state coffers.

State power is also the ultimateconspiratorial description to agree broadly with his definition. These atomised individuals have provided the social base for political rackets and their gurus.

In the late 19 C, Marxism became the ideology of the more extreme and consistently radical faction of political specialists. After constant defeats and massacres, the proletariat learned to be wary of the radical petty-bourgeoisie (1830-1848 in France and Central Europe). Other ideologists replaced these recuperated rackets. In these countries Marxist and anarchist parties and unions managed to implant themselves in a minority of the proletariat. In 1914 most of these organisations supported their own warring states in World War One. They did the same in World Two, when Stalinism proved conclusively that the October revolution had ended in a catastrophic counter-revolution.

These historic defeats confirmed that the


In Russia the expropriated landlords and capitalists were the ideal scapegoats and a war of extermination allegedly against them ensued, the vast majority of victims being workers and peasants. This trend of obliterating civilians was already present in the 1789 French Revolution. These atrocities could only depress consciousness on a massive scale, and disarm mankind of its inner spiritual resources and solidarity.

Towards potential recruits and circles, rackets always appear benign, open, even obsequious... at the beginning. Religious cults behave similarly. Faction fights in rackets share something – they express a totalitarian dynamic intrinsic to life today. In the final analysis, this dynamic reflects the needs and preservation of domination. The gurus of leftist and ultraleft rackets defend a deeply totalitarian worldview. Racket-building, which contains the seeds of Party-Building,members, including the working class." (mentioned in Carl Schorske, German Social Democracy 1905-1917, Harvard 1955, p. 256)

Fortunately for Radek, the Bremen leftists protested the decision of the SPD executive and continued to provide Radek with an outlet for his writings in their paper. Had they not done this, his financial situation would have been worse. These leftists were no worshippers of ‘Juries of Honour’ set up for repressive reasons.

Shurer confirms that "Early in 1914, the traditional court of honour appointed in such cases by the various wings of the Russian and Polish marxist movements sat in Paris and decided unanimously in favour of Radek. Among the judges was Lunacharsky. Lenin and Trotsky made additional separate statements in his favour. Normally the whole case would have gone back to


was defeated. Poor Radek played the victim as the victimiser in all his political life. The roulette ended tragically when he perished in the gulag:

"The story has it that sometime in 1939, one such pack of the Revolution’s monsters [the thousands of orphaned children called the bezprizornii] cornered Karl Radek in the prison yard. He was far from history now. The killing winter was all around him and he was alone with the revolution’s wretches, nameless. Someone flung him to the ground [Radek was 54 then]. Then, following the impulses by which they lived, the bezprizornii were all kicking together, smashing out the brains of this brain-proud man against the tundra. Nemesis the goddess is fierce. Fierce – and ingenious."

So writes Stephen Koch in Stalin, Willi Münzenberg andThe movie Blade Runner is a pretty substantial departure from the Phillip Dick book "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep" on which it was based. Even so, and perhaps uniquely in literary history, Dick seems to have absolutely loved the movie. It kept the right elements of the book - ie, what makes us human -- and shed the silly, trippy stuff.

I don't remember it being a huge box office success. Probably too dark, even with the last minute change of ending (the happy notion that Rachael had no programmed termination date was added to give audiences a more upbeat ending.) But the movie certainly had a huge effect on the look and feel of sci-fi. After the Matrix and the Terminator, we are used to future dystopias,


but in the 1970's most popular sci-fi had cities that were as bright and shiny as a new penny. I remember seeing it the first time, and Blade Runner was arresting, a whole new category of sci-fi noir. I still love the movie, and it wears pretty well, but nowadays fan argue endlessly of the merits of the original release vs. the directors cut. The latter purges the Harrison Ford narration and happy ending that were tacked on to make the movie more audience friendly. I personally like the narration-- it feels consistent with the noir genre -- though the faux happy ending is lame.that perovskite was stable when it came in contact with a solid-state hole transporter such as spiro-OMeTAD, negating the requirement of a mesoporous TiO2 layer to transport electrons. The efficiency at this stage rose to about 10%. In 2013, a 2-step solution processing deposition technique was developed by Burschka which improved the efficiency to 15%.

Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has cancelled a trip to Indonesia at the last minute, a government official has said, in what would have been his first journey outside of Africa or the Middle East in nearly four years.

Bashir's plan to attend the Asia-African leaders conference in the capital Jakarta, which begins on Wednesday, sparked protests among rights groups, who want the president to be arrested.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant in 2009 accusing him of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Sudan's western region of Darfur. Indonesia is not an ICC member.

"Because he is busy monitoring the post-elections operations, the country's leadership saw it best for President Omar al-Bashir to stay in the country," said Sudan's foreign ministry spokesmanAli al-Sadiq.

Sudan's minister of foreign affairs will instead lead the country's delegation at the Asian-African summit.

A conference organiser confirmed Bashir will not be attending, but declined to say why.

A news conference about the issue was scheduled to take place later on Tuesday in Jakarta.

Rights groups welcomed Bashir's cancelled trip.

"These developments reinforce al-Bashir's status as a fugitive from international justice with limited travel options," said Elise Keppler, associate director of the International Justice Programme at Human Rights Watch.

Bashir's last visit outside of the region was to China in June 2011, though he has continued travelling to Arab and African states since then.

Most of Bashir's visits have been to non-ICC states such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where he travelled in March.

He also went to member states that have declined

Frank’s first book, Law and the Modern Mind (1930), provided a psychoanalytical critique of the law that cemented his reputation as a legal realist. His other major work, Courts on Trial (1949), expressed his skepticism regarding how the judicial system determines “what the facts are.”

Frank made his principal contribution to American law as a judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. From his appointment in 1941 until his death, Frank wrote wide-reaching opinions that shaped the laws of obscenity, adhesion contracts, so-called “private attorneys-general,” and labor relations.

A few years ago I ordered this copy of Fate and Freedom from an Internet seller. When the book arrived, I found to


my amazement that it was inscribed by Frank to Learned Hand, who served with Frank on the Second Circuit.

Frank’s assessment of Hand’s wisdom was no private matter. In a 1955 Yale Law School lecture, published in 1957 and anthologized in 1965, Frank declared: “Learned Hand, who both thinks deeply and feels deeply, sees life as a marvelous comic-tragedy. … He has a love for and an understanding of his fellow creatures, like him, humanly fallible. I commend him to you as a great man and as our wisest judge.”

Learned Hand graduated from Harvard College in 1892 and from Harvard Law School in 1895. Appointed to the federal district court in New York in 1909, Hand enjoyed one of the longest tenures on the federal bench (52 years) of all 20th-century judges. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge elevated Hand to the Second Circuit, where he served until his death in 1961.

As a judge, Hand set high standards for clarity of expression and judicial craftsmanship. It is little wonder that he has been quoted more often than any lower-court judge by legal scholars and by the United States Supreme Court. He advocated strongly for free speech, famously arguing in Masses Publishing Co. v. Patten (1917) that the First Amendment should

Lindley Murray is best known as “the father of English grammar.” But before he earned that title, he practiced law in New York. In fact, he acted in the 1760s as the legal mentor of John Jay, who would later become the first Chief Justice of the United States. In 1785, Murray emigrated from New York to York, England.

Over the next 50 years, he became the best-selling author in the world, with some 15 million copies of his literacy books then in print.

This copy of Murray’s Grammar is inscribed by the author to the notedPresbyterian theologian Samuel Miller (1769–1850) of Princeton Theological Seminary. Although the book contains the Miller family’s bookplate commemorating the donation, the university discarded the book in 2005.

Lord Brougham’s signed copy of Law of Elections (1818) by Arthur Male.

Henry Peter Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868), was a British statesman, member of Parliament, and, from 1830 to 1834, Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.

Brougham entered the House of Commons in 1810, but it was not until his successful defense of Queen


Caroline in her 1820 adultery trial that he would gain popular renown. He remained in Parliament until 1830, when he was appointed Lord Chancellor and raised to the peerage. He was an ardent and effective political reformer throughout his life, and according to The Oxford Companion to Law (1980), “[h]is contribution to the law lay in promotion of legislative reforms rather than in judicial work.” As Lord Chancellor, he abolished several obsolete courts, created the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the Central Criminal Court, and was instrumental in the passage of an 1833 statute that abolished slavery throughout the British Empire.

The next major entry in the Yakuza series has been revealed in Japan, and Sega is seriously shaking things up. Ryu ga Gotoku 7, which will likely be called Yakuza 7 in the West, has a new main character, a new setting, and a totally new combat system.

Yakuza 7 was previously teased with the working title Shin Ryu ga Gotoku, where shin means “new.” After Yakuza 6: The Song of Life brought protagonist Kazuma Kiryu’s story to an end, the series will continue with new lead Ichiban Kasuga, another former yakuza who took the fall for a crime he didn’t commit. He is also, apparently, a big Dragon Quest fan.

The action shifts from Tokyo to the nearby port city of Yokohama. According to Japanese games site Game Watch,"Thus it is said that one who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be endangered in a hundred engagements."

Fourth Iraqi Province Transfers to Local Control

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service

April 18, 2007 – Maysan province has become the fourth of 18 Iraqi provinces to transfer to provincial Iraqi control, marking another step toward a stable and secure Iraq, according to Multinational-Force Iraq officials. In a ceremony today at the provincial capital of Al Amarah, Iraqi officials assumed total control of governing the southern province. The province is in the British-led Multinational Division Southeast area of operations.

Multinational Force Iraq officials said the transfer shows that the Iraqi government is keeping its election promises to the people. "Step-by-step, the Iraqi


government is assuming control of the country," an official said.

The transfer also gives Iraqis security responsibility for the majority Shiia province.

The first province to transfer to Iraqi control was Muthanna in July 2006. Neighboring Dhi Qar province transferred in September 2006. Najaf province transferred in December 2006. The remaining 14 provinces will transfer when they meet the conditions, officials said.

In Maysan, Iraqi police and soldiers will assume control of all law enforcement and security operations. Coalition units will continue to partner with Iraqi security forces, and small military and police training teams will continue to help Iraqi forces as they gain more hands-on experience, an official said.

Iraqi officials can call on coalition forces in Basra province if they face a situation they cannot handle, the official said.

From the Washington Post:

Officials in at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports on the matter. Among those nations discussing ways to influence Kushner to their advantage were the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel and Mexico, the current and former officials said.

Of course they have. Why wouldn’t they? Kushner is inexperienced, avaricious, and in tough financial straits. He’s an easy mark. That explains this, also from the Post:

Officers confirmed four victims suffered gunshot injuries.

Police Chief Mark Saunders said none of those injured were in a life-threatening condition.

Three people have been arrested.

Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau was among the two million fans cheering at the a victory parade through the city.

Nathan Phillips Square was the parade's final destination. At least two million fans were reported to have attended.

The incident caused only a brief pause in the celebratory speeches, which were still going on.

The incident is believed to have unfolded in Bay Street and Albert Street.

Bruce Arthur, a sports columnist for the Toronto Star, said police weretelling crowds to "get down" amid the shocking scenes.

"Crowd on east side running again. Cops said get down. Oh no," he wrote on Twitter.

"Gunshots fired at the parade at the back south east corner of Nathan Phillips Square. One witness said four shots. Crowd ran.

"There is a victim down being given medical attention, surrounded by a crowd, and police are clearing people from the area. Speeches are still going on."

When the Mechanix leadership announced that they would be the first AUDL team to support a women’s team, many female players in the Detroit-area community were ecstatic. This development provided an additional opportunity for high-level play for female-identifying players, as well as visibility on a large stage.

Mechanix leadership, with the best of intentions, made many promises about equal treatment and support before the season began, but were unable to meet the agreements put forth when the team was created, including player compensation, game promotion, or basic organizational support. As of the date this statement was published, no Riveters players have been paid.

Beyond our disappointing experience with the Mechanix infrastructure, the lack of an overarching league structure contributed to a dysfunctional experience and left dangerous gaps in liability.The checking fees for all Partition, Subdivision, Condominium, and Cemetery plats within Marion County (except City of Salem plats) will be charged actual cost, with an initial deposit.

In 1979, Molly Hatchet broke it big with their hit single, “Flirtin’ With Disaster.” He would later leave the band in 1987 due to his addiction to drugs. He was later invited to rejoin the group in 2005, playing backup on the band’s eleventh studio album, Warriors of the Rainbow Bridge, and would continue to tour with the band over the years.

On Oct. 11, the courier service flew two rehabilitated sea cows (Pixie and Wheezy) that had been living at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and another (Woodstock) that had been staying at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden to Miami. All three were scheduled to be released into the wild after acclimation at Florida facilities.

The next day, two manatees were flown to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport from Miami for care at the Ohio zoos.

"Moving 5,100 pounds of manatees halfway across the country requires a lot of planning," said Joe Collopy, regional sales manager at the DHL Express Americas hub in Cincinnati.

He was the manager


in charge of the move, which DHL dubbed "the sea cow shuffle."

The manatees traveled in specially designed padded crates with open tops and were accompanied by a zoo representative for their flights aboard DHL's Boeing 767 freighters.

Care also was taken to keep the sea cows as far away from jet engine noise as possible so they wouldn't become stressed, and they traveled in a section where the temperature was maintained at 70 degrees because manatees cannot tolerate low temperatures..

"This was a very complicated process," Collopy said. "but it's a very nice, refreshing moment when it all comes together."

In August, Zoo Miami used American Airlines to ship a harpy eagle - the national bird of Panama - from Miami to the HarpyEagle Center at Panama's Summit Zoo.

The last harpy eagle at the zoo in Panama died, and the young eagle, named "Panama" by Zoo Miami, is being used in a breeding program.

"She had her own little first-class section in the pressurized cargo hold," said Ron Magill, communications director at Zoo Miami.

American Airlines also brought in the Miami zoo's original pair of Komodo dragons and flew two cheetahs from Johannesburg to New York City to Miami.

"It was a 16-hour flight and they were on a tight deadline," Magill added. "They bent over backwards for us."

What has American Airlines excited right now is the Florida-China lobster connection. Some 22,000 pounds of live lobster - packed on beds of seaweed and cold packs in foam containers surrounded by heavy-duty cardboard


- are now moving daily from Miami International Airport to Shanghai.

It's a business that didn't even exist until the summer of 2012.

"A little over a year ago a Chinese businessman living in the United States walked in the office and said, 'I'd like to ship lobsters to Shanghai. Can you help me?' " said Carmen Taylor, managing director for American's Southeast U.S., Caribbean and Latin American sales.

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

As China becomes more affluent, young, sophisticated consumers are seeking out imported seafood - for status and taste.

American had never shipped live lobsters to Asia before so it had to develop standard operating procedures for lobster traffic. Each container holds 30 to 40 Florida lobsters, and the size of the containers dictates they must move aboard wide-body jets.

"It's apremium product that requires premium shipping," said Taylor.

When the lobsters arrive in Los Angeles for shipment to China, there's a cargo operations team waiting for them at the gate. The lobster containers are removed first and a special cart takes them directly to the next plane leaving for Shanghai.

The live lobsters generally are in Chinese markets within five hours of their arrival in Shanghai, said Taylor.

The cushion for completing the whole operation is about 40 hours. So far, said Taylor, there haven't been any claims for dead lobsters.

But it requires American to be nimble. Last year there was a delay in Chicago during a Miami-Chicago-Shanghai flight that would have put the lobsters in jeopardy.

"We flew them back to Miami to replenish the dry ice and gel packs, and


the next morning they were sent out on another flight," said Taylor.

Tracking the movement of cargo, such as the live lobsters, can provide important clues as to changing consumer tastes and growing affluence in markets around the world.

Right now, there's a brisk trade in tropical fish and specimen fish that arrive from Peru, Costa Rica and Brazil in plastic bags full of oxygenated water that are packed in foam containers.

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

From Miami, the fish are shipped to pet stores across the United States, to Europe and increasingly to Asia where national aquariums and private collections are gaining in popularity. American has even shipped live sea turtles as well as baby sharks that are 4 to 5 feet long.

"The aquarium business is exploding in Japanand China," said Nathaniel Miller, who works for PHS (Perishable Handling Specialists), a division of Cargo Airport Services that keeps customers' shipments at the right temperature at the American Airlines cargo terminal in Miami.

Not quite as wild but certainly colorful, flowers are a stalwart of the air cargo business at MIA. Some 40,000 boxes of flowers containing millions of blooms arrive daily in Miami - the flower import capital of the United States.

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

Different blooms require different care. Roses and carnations, mostly from Colombia and Ecuador, must be kept cool, while tropical plants thrive in heat and humidity. A sign outside the refrigerated area at the AA terminal adjacent to MIA warns: "No tropical flowers in the cooler - They love the Miami heat."

While


some of the air-traveling flowers are used in bouquets and arrangements in South Florida, Miami is merely a transit point for other blooms that are flown across the United States, on to the big European flower marketplace in Amsterdam, Japan's flower center in Fukuoka, and even to Shanghai where flowers will be in demand for the Chinese New Year that begins Jan. 31.

(END OPTIONAL TRIM)

Some cargoes are seasonal: Right now it's raspberry and blueberry season in Chile, the Chilean cherry season starts soon, and the lobster season lasts from August to March 31. But other food shipments such as frozen salmon filets from Chile represent year-around revenue for the airlines.

Starting the second week of February, it will be all about seeds as corn and grain seeds from thethe stacks of bank notes that move to and from Latin America. They require high security and are accompanied by armored trucks that stand by on the tarmac until a plane's wheels are up.

The American Airlines terminal has a special high-value cage of floor-to-ceiling wire mesh where valuable cargo is placed when in transit. Companies often send their own guards that stand by while such cargoes are in the cage.

Right before Miami's Art Basel show, the cage was filled with artwork.

Another high-value cargo that frequently flies in the skies above Miami is gold. South Florida is a hub for the nation's gold trade and in 2012, $18 billion worth of gold moved into and out of the Miami Customs District. Most of the gold comes in from mines


in Latin America and then is trans-shipped to Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and the Dominican Republic.

The gold generally is transported in bars, but last fall American Airlines carried gold of a different sort. It transported 200 priceless gold artifacts from Colombia's Bogota Gold Museum to London where the antiquities are being displayed at the "Beyond El Dorado: Power and Gold in Ancient Colombia" exhibition at the British Museum.

"There were a lot of escorts for that shipment," said Taylor. "There were special security procedures at every airport the artifacts moved through."

The show runs through March and when it's over, the gold artifacts will once again be shipped through Miami on their way home.

it all. A person's actions speak highly about one's character. For more than 40 years, Senator Bernie Sanders has been on the frontlines of direct action against the very institution he as a white man could have benefitted from.

A few weeks ago, I penned an article expressing why I wasn't inspired to vote for Senator Sanders at that time. I felt that during his visit here to Baltimore, there was a missed opportunity to engage many of us who traditionally have not been a part of the process. Senator Sanders could have taken the route of ignoring this call for accountability, instead he and his team have worked to establish a relationship with young people here on the ground in Baltimore. From weekly phone calls to consistent effortsfighting for change for longer than I have been alive, and he has remained dedicated and determined to put an end to racial oppression and colorline inequity just as he was when he was arrested while shackled to the causes of Black people in the '60s. His justice reform proposal mirrors the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement, and his economic policy positions will benefit distressed communities in ways that could finally begin to reverse the damage caused by the so-called war on drugs.

That’s when Bishop forcefully pushes Fournier off the bus. Fournier appears to hit his head on the pavement in the fall. He can be seen in the video laying on the ground, partially on top of his cart, as Bishop moves toward the back of the bus.

Police responding to the incident said Fournier refused medical assistance. He later transported himself to a hospital, officials said, and he died from his injuries on April 23.

Many people at the time said the four-star CB would never suit up for the Buckeyes. Those people were right of course, though not for the reasons they prophesied.

Dean, OSU's second commit of the 2015 class, stuck with his commitment all the way through National Signing Day. Unfortunately, he was not cleared to play by Ohio State's medical staff.

OSU offered Dean a medical hardship waiver, allowing him to stay on scholarship at Ohio State, but Dean declined in order to seek footballing opportunities at other institutions.

The Johor government has declared today a public holiday following Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) ending a 17-year wait by the state to bring home the FA Cup.

State secretary Ismail Karim who announced the matter said the state government was also considering rewarding the Southern Tigers handsomely.

"For the players, rewards await them and for the fans, we are giving a public holiday," he said in a "live" interview with Johor FM in Johor Baru last night.

The win by the Southern Tigers was a repeat of the feat achieved by Johor FA (now known as JDT II) who won the FA Cup in 1998.

It erased their disappointment of losing 0-1 to Kelantan in the 2013 FA Cup final at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

Sunday is a working day in Johor.

Ismail,who is also FA of Johor (PBNJ president), said he hoped JDT would achieve the much sought after "treble" by winning the Super League this season.

Meanwhile, Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin congratulated JDT saying the state was proud of this achievement.

"We hope this victory will inspire the Southern Tigers to reach lofty heights," he said in a statement.

He also congratulated and thanked Tunku Mahkota Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim for his tireless efforts in building JDT into a football powerhouse not only locally but in Asia.

A victory parade will be held in Taman Yayasan Segamat tomorrow, which is also the final stop on the second day of Kembara Mahkota Johor 2016 expedition.

SEWING MACHINE - DOORWAY TO BETTER LIFE

A sewing machine helps lift a woman out of poverty and creates new jobs in her community.

SEWING MACHINE COURSE

The use of sewing machine in rural Ethiopia has an immense advantage. Women can sew clothes for their family. This reduces their family expense. They can also use it as a way of making money by the side to their family. The school kids travel long distances to get their school uniforms made. This all is easily solved by having a training center in the area.

Coffeeprint4change has started giving training on sewing machine for twenty boys and girls, who have a strong desire and passion to change their lives and impact others in the community. After a couple of months, they will graduate andDeputy assistant to President Trump Sebastian Gorka in an interview with the BBC said it is "simply nonsensical" to think that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Rex Wayne TillersonGary Cohn: 'I haven't made up my mind' on vote for president in November Kushner says 'Alice in Wonderland' describes Trump presidency: Woodward book Conspicuous by their absence from the Republican Convention MORE will discuss military decisions on North Korea.

Gorka made the remarks to BBC4 Radio's "Today" while seeking to explain the different messages members of President Trump's administration have made on North Korea.

"You should listen to the president," Gorka said in response to a question about what red lines exist that might prompt a military response from the United States on North Korea.

"The idea that Secretary Tillerson is going


to discuss military matters is simply nonsensical," Gorka said.

"It is the job of Secretary [James] Mattis as secretary of Defense to talk about military options, and he has done so unequivocally. Today he said woe betide anyone who militarily challenges the United States, and that is his portfolio, that is his mandate," he continued.

"Secretary Tillerson is the chief diplomat of the United States, and it is his portfolio to handle those issues," Gorka added.

The Trump adviser pushed back on the reports calling his comments on Tillerson criticism on Thursday evening.

"This is a deliberate distortion of my comments and yet another example of fake news. I was clearly stating that it is absurd for reporters to try to press the Secretary of State to give answers on military issues,"of nuclear weapons,” Mattis said in the statement.

“The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.”

Mattis's remarks shared a similar tone to comments from Trump on Tuesday, though there was also a critical difference.

Trump said North Korea will face "fire and fury" if it continued its threats toward the United States.

While Trump's remarks suggested aggressive threats from North Korea could lead to military action, Mattis's remarks suggested the nation's actions would have to go beyond threats to receive a military response.

On Thursday, Trump said his "fire and fury" remark may not have been tough enough, and Gorka, in his interview with the BBC, suggested the mere threat from North Korea could lead to a

BUSINESS and cultural leaders last night welcomed David Henshaw's warning that Liverpool has to suffer the pain of being a huge building site before enjoying the gain of Capital of Culture.

Senior figures agreed with the council's chief executive that wide-scale development work is inevitable but they have called on him to carefully manage the disruption.

Stephen Pearse, policy specialist at the Chamber of Commerce, said businesses had their part to play in mini-mising the problems.

He said: " We can all play a part in using other forms of transport if the roads are closed.

"We can look at the ferriesdeterred from opening stores in Liverpool.

He said: "Many other retailers want to open in the city but the problem is that there are not enough sites."

Thomas O'Brien, chief executive of regional promoter The Mersey Part-nership, said careful management will ensure tourists are not discouraged from visiting the city.

He added the building work signals Liverpool is at the start of a boom.

Mr O'Brien said: "The private and public sectors don't always agree on everything but we are with Mr Henshaw on this one.

"Liverpool will have major projects under way, including building sites in the centre - and that's a real sign of a vibrant, happening city.

"Cities like Boston and Barcelona have managed major construction projects and growing visitor numbers at the same time - and so will Liverpool."

is home to 193, slightly more than Texas with 191, according to the most recent survey by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, one of the nation’s leading authorities on megachurches.

The majority of these congregations are in the suburbs between Los Angeles and San Diego, an area that some who study the phenomenon call the Southern California Bible Belt.

A handful have risen to national prominence -- notably Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and its celebrity pastor, the Rev. Rick Warren.

But dozens of other large, if lesser-known, churches also are growing, even as many traditional houses of worship struggle to fill their pews.

The megachurches are expanding by adapting to changing times and tastes, scholars say. Many have jettisoned formal rituals such as organs and hymns in favor of Christianprovided ready supplies of potential new members -- including Geraldine Victoria, who was raised Catholic but decided to visit Shepherd of the Hills on a recent Sunday at a friend’s invitation.

The 32-year-old Glendale nurse said she was attracted to the spontaneity of the worship service, a departure from what she called the formality of Catholicism. “I think I want more,” Victoria said as she emerged from the sanctuary.

Shepherd of the Hills is rapidly outgrowing its home at the foot of the Santa Susana Mountains, in the northwestern San Fernando Valley. Its gym doubles as a second sanctuary, and church leaders have plans for a 3,500-seat auditorium. It also has opened satellite church campuses in Agua Dulce, Lancaster, Woodland Hills, the Westside and Fremont, near San Jose.

also has sparked criticism that large churches are siphoning people away from smaller congregations.

Megan Rief, for one, left her Lutheran church in La Verne for Christ’s Church of the Valley in San Dimas, which attracts about 4,500 people to its large worship center each weekend.

The 25-year-old bank teller said the formalities of her former church -- including the robed clergy, hymnals, organ and repetitive liturgy -- left her uninspired.

At the San Dimas church, she found what she called a fresh approach to her Christian faith that emphasizes a joyful, free-flowing worship and the importance of maintaining a relationship with Jesus seven days a week rather than only on Sundays.

At church, she also met fellow Lutherans, along with Presbyterians and Methodists, all searching for new ways to express theirspirituality.

“I’ve become a lot more comfortable in my faith and willing to share that with people,” said Rief, who now volunteers at the church Thursday nights, greeting college students who are treated to dinner and lively worship services.

One recent night, she welcomed visitors for a chicken dinner and then joined them for the service that looked and sounded like a rock concert -- with a band, dimmed lights and lyrics about Jesus projected on overhead screens.

Southern California has long been a laboratory of church innovation.

The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, one of the most influential American pastors of the last half-century, preached from the roof of an Orange County drive-in theater snack bar in 1955, and later launched his “Hour of Power” television ministry and built the Crystal Cathedral


in Garden Grove.

In 1965, Pastor Chuck Smith opened Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, a tiny nondenominational congregation that welcomed hippies and changed the way many American Christians worship by combining literalist Bible teaching with contemporary rock music and casual dress (Smith is fond of Hawaiian shirts).

The worship style helped Smith expand his single church into an empire of 1,500 independent congregations nationwide.

He said several thousand people attend services each weekend at his sprawling Orange County home church, which has 25 pastors, a school and a radio ministry.

“I believe there is a great spiritual hunger,” said Smith, 82, who still preaches weekly. “Jesus said, ‘If any man thirsts, then come to me and drink.’ ”

About 85 miles to the south, a newer congregation has demonstrated a deft marketing handof its own, drawing large numbers through its doors by appealing to niche interests.

San Diego’s Rock Church offers a multitude of ministries, including those for dog lovers, rock climbers, skateboarders, four-wheel-drive enthusiasts, people with eating disorders, even strippers and mimes.

Since it opened in 2000, the church has more than tripled in size. Each weekend, 12,500 adults and children pray in its sanctuary.

Members also are encouraged to put their faith to use in the world outside of the church, which has set a goal this year for its members to perform 600,000 “Do Something” hours of service in San Diego County and beyond -- mentoring children, picking up trash, planting trees.

“In the end, God calls us to grow,” said Pastor Miles McPherson, a former San Diego Chargers football player

POPE, Judge.
Defendant Roosevelt Henderson was convicted of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and escape from custody. At the time of his arrest, he had been carrying a brown paper bag which contained nineteen smaller manilla envelopes of marijuana, known as "nickel bags," the total weight of which amounted to just less than one ounce. Defendant did not contest that he was in possession of the marijuana, but claimed he intended only to use it for himself and had no intention to sell it to others. Defendant testified he was addicted to cocaine and used marijuana cigarettes as


a medium in which to "free base" cocaine. He denied ever selling drugs in order to purchase drugs. He claimed he purchased drugs with money paid to him in settlement of a personal injury claim brought by him as next friend of his minor child who had been injured in an accident. Defendant appeals his conviction, setting forth three enumerations of error.

Prior to trial, the court granted defendant's motion in limine to prohibit testimony from the State's witnesses concerning a telephone call from an anonymous informant who reported someone was *835 selling drugs at a certain street corner. At trial, the district attorney asked one of the arresting officers to state the reason why he had gone to the location where defendant was arrested.

The Cattleya epic for Sky, Canal+ and Amazon will shoot in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Wolof and Arabic for a whopping eight months in six countries.

Gomorrah director Stefano Sollima is helming the adaptation of the book by Gomorrah scribe Roberto Saviano about international cocaine trafficking and its economic and political effects. The plot will chart family dynamics, Mexican cartels, the ‘Ndrangheta (the Calabrian mafia) and corrupt businessmen. The stellar line up of directors also includes Pablo Trapero (The Clan) and Janus Metz (True


Detective). After concluding the first weeks of shooting in New Orleans, principal photography moves on to Mexico and then to Italy and Africa.

The 8-episode series will also feature actors Harold Torres (Sin Nombre), Giuseppe De Domenico (Euphoria), Francesco Colella (Made In Italy) and Tcheky Karyo (Nikita). It is developed by the same creative team behind TV series Gomorrah, Leonardo Fasoli, Stefano Bises, Saviano and Sollima, and is written by co-head writers Leonardo Fasoli and Mauricio Katz (The Bridge). Max Hurwitz (Hell On Wheels), Sollima and Maddalena Ravagli round out the team of writers.

The show will debut in 2019 on Canal+ in French-speaking Europe and Africa, on Sky in Italy, the UK, Ireland, Germany and Austria, and on Amazon in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Spain. International salesand predictive play calling. With a spring practice season, summer workouts, and fall training camp hammering the same offensive scheme, those “just missed” plays start to become routine. As they say, “practice makes perfect”, and Coach McNulty’s return pushes that agenda further towards a respectable offensive showing in 2019.

There is also the unique ability to have a sample size of past seasons for reference. Coach McNulty was the Offensive Coordinator for 3 seasons prior this stint, from 2006-2008. Before we delve into some of the numbers, we should acknowledge that those years were part of the golden age of Rutgers Football, when a bowl game was a foregone conclusion. Yes, those teams included nine offensive players drafted into the NFL, but we will come back to that later.

really is the epitome of that to me. Despite being written in the 1920s, this new production mirrors the feminist issues risen in the play perfectly and it's more necessary than ever.

I have an intense passion for one-scene plays and I also have a love for Lucy Kirkwood, so it's safe to say the The Children was a natural fit for me. There is something so unique about Kirkwood's way of seeing life and she brings that to the stage perfectly in anything she touches and The Children is no exception. It's a play that tells a unique story in such a clever way, and it works oh so well.

Q:

Artists like (the late Pakistani singer) Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn

What genre would describe the music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (the late Pakistani superstar singer) and who are the current top singers who authentically embody that same style?

A:

As @wcullen says in the comments, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan performs qawwalis in the Sufi tradition. The Encyclopedia Britannica has a reasonable article on qawwalis, although the description of the style of music is given from the perspective of Western classical music.
Nusrat's nephew Rahat Fateh Ali Khan continues the tradition of performing qawwalis, in addition to singing ghazals and performing as a playback singer in several movie industries. The Sabri brothers are another troupe who are of the highest caliber. You could take a look at the music of the Wadalifollows:
"McCoy, Carl L. Jr. d/b/a McCoy Furniture & Appliance, 108 So. Main, Hutchinson, Kansas."
*534 In August, 1967, McCoy's place of business burned down and he moved his store a few doors away to 105 South Main in Hutchinson, where he operated until June, 1969, under the same trade name of "McCoy's Furniture and Appliance."
In June, 1969, McCoy moved his business again, this time to 229 East Third Street, Hutchinson, where he operated under the trade name of "McCoy's Discount Furniture Warehouse" until bankruptcy intervened with the filing of his voluntary petition on October 1, 1970.
On February 21, 1970 McCoy executed a promissory note to Mid-Plains for $23,338.73 and a concomitant security agreement. Both were signed by McCoy with the designation "McCoy Furniture", and the security agreement indicated McCoy's


1970 security interest in the fixtures and inventory located at an entirely different address. The Referee found that the designation of the bankrupt's name in the financing statement was proper, irrespective of whatever trade name he used, and that the address was correctly stated as of the time the financing statement was filed, and remained effective through the first change of address since there was a "presumption" that mail would have been forwarded from the former address during the six months period of that removal. However, the Referee concluded, upon equitable grounds, that the efficacy of the 1967 financing statement expired once McCoy had made his second move; that it was not clearly apparent that the description of the security which appeared in the 1967 statement applied tonote in the index the file number and the address of the debtor given in the statement." [Emphasis supplied.]
In the State of Kansas, the index of financing statements is thus by the name of the debtor. In this instance, as the Referee found, an inquiry directed to the Secretary, listing the bankrupt's name alone, without address, resulted in information concerning the Mid-Plains financing statement and all other parties who had filed on McCoy at any of his Hutchinson addresses.
The Court concludes that Mid-Plains had a perfected security interest in McCoy's stock of merchandise and fixtures at the time bankruptcy intervened, and therefore, the reclamation petition of Mid-Plains should have been granted. Accordingly,
This matter is remanded to the Referee with directions that he enter an Order Sustaining and Granting


the unionised blue-collar working class.

The collapse of blue-collar unionism

Union membership and union density have been in steady decline in Australia since peaking in the late 1940s or early 1950s. It fell far more sharply in the 1990s. Between 1986 and 2008, union density fell from 45% to 19%.

Union density did not drop below 40% between 1913 and 1992, and was usually much higher. In areas of blue-collar employment, the union density figure was closer to 75% at its peak levels in the 1950s and the blue-collar working class consistently made up two-thirds of the workforce between the 1890s and the 1950s.

By 1981, white-collar workers made up almost 40% of the workforce compared to 28% in 1969. The typical union member today is female, university-educated and working in aprofessional role in a service industry, particularly health, education and community services.

A study done for UnionsNSW in 2003 found that more highly qualified employees (i.e. in terms of educational attainment) were more likely to hold positive views about unions, and that employees with lower or no formal qualifications were more likely to think Australia would be better off without unions.

A new base?

The collapse in the old base was partially offset during the past few decades by a new urban middle class concerned with rights-based issues and the environment. In recent years, this new base has been deserting the ALP for the Greens.

ALP branches started to attract white-collar members in the late 1940s. During the 1960s, the ALP began to draw increasing numbers of teachers and other tertiary educated


professionals. By 1981 blue-collar workers comprised just one-quarter of employed branch members in the Victorian ALP.

Unions affiliated to the ALP, mostly blue-collar, have felt the full effects of the collapse of union membership. Big unions covering university-educated professionals like the Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) and the Australian Education Union (AEU) have been far more successful in maintaining high unionisation rates.

Unions like the ANF and AEU remain outside the ALP and have not been included as part of a new base. Former union officials still dominate the federal ALP caucus, but very few of them come from these more successful unaffiliated unions.

Despite many internal reviews, the ALP has yet to change its structure to attract a new, or broader, base.

She then became known as Princess Grace.

Renown Health officials on Wednesday gave the media an early peek at the company's $240 million expansion on its main Reno medical center campus.

From the 10-story Tahoe Tower's roof-top helicopter landing pads to still-in-the-making operating rooms and patient rooms, the attention to detail will be unprecedented when the complex opens in September, said Newton Chase, Renown's director of facilities.

Examples include tubing inside the concrete landing pads to melt ice and snow, high-speed elevators down to the emergency room, and four air-controlled rooms on each floor for patients with airborne infections.

In the 18-room surgery suite, cameras will be part of the lighting


fixtures and airflow will change the air on average 26 times per hour, compared with 16 in the hospital's existing operating rooms.

In the patient rooms, the amenities include crown molding, flat-screen TVs, ceiling lights with nature scenes and a "family zone" with pull-out couch for visitors.

"We're trying to get a 'hotel' feel," Chase said. "We're trying to lessen the anxiety. The more we reduce stress, the faster the recovery process is.

"It's all about the details."

The Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) has worked closely with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), Taiwan's top financial regulator, to boost turnover on the country's stock market.

The TWSE, which operates the main exchange, said the FSC announced additional measures in November, including increasing the number of stocks eligible for day trading, to encourage investors to play the market and help the market climb out of its turnover doldrums, the exchange said.

In line with the FSC's goal to allow more stocks to be day-traded, the TWSE said it has expanded eligibility to all stocks allowed to be short sold, adding an additional 10 stocks open to day trading from the previous 1,428.

Day trading allows traders to first buy and then sell the same


shares or vice versa on a single day.

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has expanded the range of day trading at an accelerated pace since June 2014, hoping to boost interest in investing in the Taiwan exchange and lift market turnover.

The TWSE said that from the time the FSC started easing rules on day trading phase by phase to the end of October 2016, day trading has accounted for 9.26 percent of total turnover, contributing to investor willingness to put money into the market.

But its impact on overall turnover has been limited, as the market continued to face sluggish trading in 2016.

According to the TWSE, the aggregate turnover on Taiwan's stock market totaled about NT$18.9 trillion in 2016, the lowest level in 15 years. It was also the thirdMarissa Mayer's time running Yahoo is about to end.

A man of wealth and taste

Romania sure gets a bad press in American popular fiction. Vampires, orphans, war crimes, vampires. The horror writer Dan Simmons once managed to work all three together in one of his books, with added vampire content (this is not a recommendation).
But Romania might now be best known among American readers as the home of the Antichrist.
Yes, that's right. Just when you thought Romania's PR couldn't get any better.
The Left Behind series of books is immensely popular in the US. Tens of millions of copies have been sold here. Basically, it's a series of disaster thrillers where the disaster is a fringe Protestant interpretation of prophecies regarding the Christian Apocalypse. The story begins with all the good Christians vanishing -- thecommercials for Pizza Hut. He did have that freaky birthmark though.
At least thinkers within Orthodox Christianity have wrought a more interesting picture of the Antichrist. Here's an excerpt from Vladimir Solovyov's last work, War, Progress, and the End of History:

At that time, there was among the few believing spiritualists a remarkable person -- many called him a superman -- who was equally far from both, intellect and childlike heart. He was still young, but owing to his great genius, by the age of thirty-three he had already become famous as a great thinker, writer, and public thinker. Conscious of the great power of spirit in himself, he was always a confirmed spiritualist, and his clear intellect always showed him the truth of what one should believe in: the


good, God, and the Messiah. In these he believed, but he loved only himself.
He believed in God, but in the depths of his soul he involuntarily and unconsciously preferred himself. He believed in Good, but the All-Seeing Eye of the Eternal knew that this man would bow down before the power of Evil as soon as it would offer him a bribe -- not by deception of the senses and the lower passions, not even by the superior bait of power, but by his own immeasurable self-love. This self-love was neither an unconscious instinct nor an insane ambition. Apart from his exceptional genius, beauty, and nobility of character, the reserve, disinterestedness, and active sympathy with those in need which he evinced to such a great extent seemed abundantlyto justify the immense self-love of this great spiritualist, ascetic, and philanthropist.
Did he deserve blame because, being as he was so generously supplied by the gifts of God, he saw in them a sign of Heaven's special benevolence towards him, and thought himself only second to God himself? In a word, he considered himself to be what Christ in reality was. But this conception of his higher value showed itself in practice not in the exercise of his moral duty to God and the world but in seizing his privilege and advantage at the expense of others, and of Christ in particular.

Then a mysterious stranger advises him to become a best-selling author. Around the world, "cheap editions with portraits of the author were sold in millions of copies",


at the opposite end of the lake the water mysteriously flowed away. Geologists did a hasty survey and discovered that a large area of the park had developed an ominous bulge. This was lifting up one end of the lake and causing the water to run out at the other, as would happen if you lifted one side of a child's wading pool. By 1984, the whole central region of the park-several dozen square miles-was more than three feet higher than it had been in 1924, when the park was last formally surveyed. Then in 1985, the whole of the central part of the park subsided by eight inches. It now seems to be swelling again.

Chongyi Feng, an Associate Professor in Chinese Studies at the University of Technology Sydney, was detained and questioned by Chinese officials during a visit to China in March last year about his links to liberal intellectuals in mainland China and contacts in Australia.

Fairfax Media can reveal that during the interrogation, Chinese state security officials demanded information about adviser John Garnaut, who at the time was working on an ASIO inquiry commissioned by Mr Turnbull.

The inquiry was aimed at assessing the“Boys, I only did my duty; the old flag never touched the ground!”

William Harvey Carney was born into slavery in 1840. It’s not certain how he became a free man, but based on most accounts, he escaped through the Underground Railroad.

In 1863, he joined the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. And on July 18th, 1863, this regiment led the charge on Fort Wagner.

As the regiment marched in battle, the unit’s color guard was shot. William, only a few feet away from the falling color guard, rushed over to catch the flag. He caught the flag and proceeded to march forward.

Then he too was shot. Twice.

But he continued to march forward, holding the flag up high as “he crawled up the hill to the walls of Fort Wagner, urging his
