state. Conversely, when the lever 220 at the mating position is returned to the separated position, the operation of the cam groove 221 and the cam pin 252 causes both of the connectors 201 and 250 to be separated from each other.
In the connector 201, the first seal 215 is capable of sealing between the contact receiving portion 212 and the mating connector 250 to be mated with, and in addition, the first seal 215 is capable of preventing water from entering into the contact receiving cavities 211 from the opposite side to the side to be mated with the mating connector. Also, the provision of the toggle including the lever 220, of a slide type, having the cam groove 221 achieves the reduction in the operational forcefrom the housing main body 312. Each of the contact receiving cavities 311 accommodates a metal contact (not shown) connected to an electrical wire (not shown).
The first seal 320 is arranged at the outer periphery of the housing main body 312, so as to seal between the housing main body 312 and the mating connector to be mated with, thereby preventing water entering into the contact receiving cavities 311.
In addition, the second seal 330 (as a family seal) is accommodated in the hood 313 of the inner housing 310 so as to be in tight contact with the inner circumferential surface of the hood 313. The second seal 330, as a family sealing member, prevents water from entering into the contact receiving cavities 311 from the rear side


of the inner housing 310. An outer housing 340 is attached to the rear side of the second seal 330, as a family sealing member, so as to prevent the separation of the second seal 330, as a family sealing member. A latching arm (not shown) arranged at the inner housing 310 elastically latches a latching portion (not shown) arranged at the outer housing 340, whereby the outer housing 340 is attached to the inner housing 310.
The outer housing 340 is provided with: a main body 341 located at the rear side of the second seal 330, as a family sealing member; and a hood portion 342 that extends frontward from the outer circumferential end portion of the main body 341 so as to cover the inner housing360 to slide from the mating position to the separated position. The operation of the cam groove 351 and the cam pin causes the lever-type connector 301 and the mating connector C to be separated from each other.
In this manner, the lever-type connector 301 is provided with the second seal 330, as a family sealing member, to prevent water from entering into the contact receiving cavities 311 from the rear side of the inner housing 310. Also, the lever-type connector 301 employs the toggle including: the lever 360 that rotates; and the slider 350 that interlocks with the lever 360 and that has a cam groove 351, thereby significantly reducing the operational force for mating. Additionally, the slider 350 is configured to be accommodated in the outer housing


frame is typically constructed from a set of tubular members assembled together to form the frame. For many bicycles, the frame is constructed from members commonly referred to as the top tube, down tube, seat tube, seat stays and chain stays, and those members are joined together at intersections commonly referred to as the head tube, seat post, bottom bracket and rear dropout. The top tube usually extends from the head tube rearwardly to the seat tube. The head tube, sometimes referred to as the neck, is a short tubular structural member at the upper forward portion of the bicycle which supports the front steering fork, which has the front wheel on it, and the handlebar. The down tube usually extends downwardly and rearwardly from the head tubeto the bottom bracket, the bottom bracket usually comprising a cylindrical support member for the pedals and chain drive mechanism which powers the bicycle. The seat tube usually extends from the bottom bracket upwardly to where it is joined to the rear end of the top tube. The seat tube also usually functions to telescopically receive a seat post for supporting a seat or saddle for the bicycle rider to sit on. The chain stays normally extend rearwardly from the bottom bracket, and the seat stays normally extend downwardly and rearwardly from the top of the seat tube, the chain stays and seat stays being joined together with a rear dropout for supporting the rear axle of the rear wheel. The portion of the frame defined by the


purchased the business of his employer for $500 and, a year later, purchased the office furniture for $800. He changed the company designation to J. Walter Thompson, as he felt that James Thompson was too common a name in New York. One of his first clients was a personal friend – Robert Wood Johnson, one of the three brothers who founded Johnson & Johnson – for whom Thomson personally wrote advertising for the toothpaste brand Zonweis

Thompson, who had served as a U.S. Marine during the Civil War, had first been employed by Carlton & Smith to sell space in religious publications. Under his leadership, the agency became the seller of advertising space in many American magazines and periodicals. By 1889, 80 percent of the advertising in the UnitedEvolution in the process of screening United States high school student-athletes for cardiovascular disease.
The completeness and potential effectiveness of preparticipation screening for high school student athletes in the United States was critiqued in 1997 and judged largely inadequate for raising the suspicion of potentially lethal cardiovascular diseases. Eight years later, the 2005 history and physical examination questionnaires approved in the states as guides to examiners were compared with those available in 1997 to determine whether changes had taken place in the preparticipation cardiovascular screening process for United States high school athletes. The 1997 and 2005 screening questionnaires were analyzed with respect to the 12 items recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA). The approved screening examiners in each state were also systematically analyzed. In 1997, 43 states had

Mr Cummings is nothing if not an ideas man and frequently sets his underlings weekend homework such as finding areas of British comparative advantage that will strike fear into the European Union. The head of the Policy Unit, Munira Mirza, is a former member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, a Trotskyite groupuscule, and enthusiastic contributor to its house organ, Living Marxism. Many of her former comrades-in-arms such as Claire Fox, a member of the European Parliament for the Brexit Party, are prominent in Conservative Eurosceptic circles.

Will the Policy Unit be able to preserve its place at the heart of government? It is one thing to work yourself up into a frenzy of enthusiasm when Parliament is in recess and you’ve been in your job for a month.It is another to keep going when Parliament is in turmoil and hundreds of thousands of protesters are on the streets. Mr Johnson’s government could easily end up being one of the shortest-lived in history. Yet if it survives—and particularly if it survives with an enhanced majority after an autumn election—there is a good chance that the Policy Unit will remain at the heart of Boris-world. Mr Johnson has a close relationship with Ms Mirza, forged when she was one of his deputies as mayor of London and reinforced when she defended ill-judged comments he had made about burqas. During Mr Johnson’s first few weeks he has demonstrated the value of energy in the executive, setting a clear agenda for government, issuing a flurry of domestic-policy initiatives and


the party’s historical function of adjusting to the arrival of a new force in British life—in this case nationalist populism. Mr Johnson is likely to embrace a peculiar mixture of liberal causes (such as environmentalism) and populist ones (such as stiffer prison sentences). The second is that Mr Johnson sees politics through the prism of City Hall, his former base as mayor, just as Mrs May saw it through the prism of the Home Office, which she ran before Downing Street. His main focus other than Brexit is on basic public services such as policing and transport. He has a (sometimes fatal) fascination with big infrastructure projects. Leaving aside Europe—admittedly a big aside—Mr Johnson is intellectually closer to Michael Heseltine, with his enthusiasm for fixing the problems ofbeen waiting quite a while to get to see Dwayne Johnson's Luke Hobbs team up with Jason Statham's Deckard Show in their own Fast and Furious spin-off and it looks like the original release date of July 26th, 2019 will stand.

As you can see in the poster below, one of those issues is the entire building can be set on fire.

New Eid Mehndi Styles Pictures

Mehndi Designs For Eid: Mehndi also known as henna which is a temporary form of skin decoration traditionally famous in Arab countries, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Mehndi is also getting popular in Europe and America where people call it Henna Tattoo or Artificial henna. Girls loves to put mehndi on hands, feet and other body parts in special occasions like Eid, Wedding, engagement and other family, friends and college parties. Bellow are some beautiful designs for you which you can apply on upcoming Eid 2013

Mehendi day is beginning to marry. this day very important in wedding. every brides dream is to take a most beautiful.This fashion show achieve the success after launch Mehendi wear collection for brides. The designerIt's easy to forget that So Yeon Ryu won the LPGA Tour's first major championship of the year.

The strongest memory from the ANA Inspiration was the four-shot penalty assessed to Lexi Thompson with six holes to play for a violation that occurred the day before (two shots for replacing her ball in the wrong spot, two shots for signing an incorrect scorecard).

Ryu played the final 27 holes without a bogey. She made birdie on the 72nd hole that got her into a playoff, and then the 26-year-old South Korean blistered a drive down the middle that allowed her to go for the green on the par-5 18th and set up a chip-and-putt birdie to beat Thompson and claim her second major.

That was the key moment in a strong


turnaround for Ryu.

Over her last nine tournaments dating to Malaysia last fall, Ryu has a victory, three runner-up finishes and a tie for third. Her worst result is a tie for seventh. Ryu has a 68.03 scoring average to lead the LPGA Tour, and her $859,936 puts her more than $370,000 ahead of Thompson.

It was the result of a decision at the end of 2015 to take one step back for a giant leap forward.

Ryu sought out Cameron McCormick, the swing coach for Jordan Spieth, and she moved from Los Angeles to Dallas last spring. She also turned to Ian Baker-Finch to help her stop thinking so much about technique in her putting.

"I knew I needed to change or I was not going to improve," Ryu said ina phone interview Tuesday after a practice session with McCormick. "I changed my coach and I changed my swing. I knew it was going to take time. But the new swing made me dedicate myself. And it was worth it."

She noticed an immediate improvement working with McCormick, though she often reverted to her old swing when she was under pressure last year.

"When you lose confidence in your swing, you lose confidence with everything," she said.

Ryu still finished 10th on the LPGA money list, though it was her lowest ranking in her five years on the LPGA Tour. As she became more comfortable with change, she said, Baker-Finch helped her free her mind over putts.

Her biggest disappointment from going through changes in 2016 was failing to qualify for the


of the No. 1 golfer. And just enjoy it."

Ryu won in her debut on the Korean LPGA at age 17 and captured her first major in the 2011 U.S. Women's Open before she was an LPGA Tour member. She was a junior in college at Yonsei University and wanted to finish her degree. That has been as valuable as any swing change.

"I learned how to make a balance between the professional golf So Yeon Ryu and the person So Yeon Ryu," she said. "On KPGA, I won my first tournament and got all the expectations to think I'm the best in the world. When I went to college, I was just one of the students. I learned so much out of golf. I learned that golf is notmy everything. Golf is only part of my life."

And right now, it's a good life.

TIGER UPDATE: Tiger Woods is promoting his book on the 1997 Masters. And he's designing golf courses, the latest project a public course at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri. He's just not playing much golf.

Woods hit two shots to a par 3 during the TGR Design announcement Tuesday in southwest Missouri. The first one was short and rattled around in the rock. The second one landed about 10 feet away from the flag.

In video from PGA Tour Entertainment, Woods said his back was progressing.

"I have good days and bad days," Woods said. "I've had three back operations, and that's the nature of the business, unfortunately. That's all I can say."

Woods hasn't played since he


opened with a 77 in the Dubai Desert Classic on Feb. 2 and withdrew because of back spasms. He said he tried to get ready for the Masters, but rehabilitation on his back did not allow him enough time.

The next target dates for Woods if he plans to play are The Players Championship (May 11-14), the Memorial (June 1-4) and the U.S. Open (June 15-18), which will be held at Erin Hills in Wisconsin for the first time.

Woods has not played in a major since he missed the cut in the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

DOMINICAN UPGRADE: The Puntacana Resort & Club Championship in the Dominican Republican is going from a Web.com Tour event to an opposite-field event on the PGA Tour next year. The tournament willbe played March 22-25, the same week as the Dell Technologies Match Play.

As an opposite-field event, it will offer a purse of at least $3 million and only 300 FedEx Cup points to the winner (compared with 500 points for a full PGA Tour event). The winner gets into the PGA Championship but not the Masters.

The Puntacana event will be played in two weeks as part of the Web.com Tour schedule.

The Puerto Rico Open this year was held the same week as Match Play. It will return in 2018 to the same week as another World Golf Championships event, the Mexico Championship.

That gives the PGA Tour five events next year opposite the four WGCs and the British Open.

KO CHANGES: Lydia Ko won the Marathon Classic in Ohio on


July 14 for her fifth victory of the LPGA Tour season, which already included a major championship and a playoff loss in another. That was her last victory.

Ko ended a streak of 15 consecutive LPGA Tour starts out of the top three when she shot 65-64 on the weekend at the LPGA Lotte Championship in Hawaii and was runner-up by three shots to Cristie Kerr.

And then she fired another caddie.

Golfweek magazine first reported that Ko parted way with Gary Matthews after they had worked together for nine tournaments. Ko already parted with her previous caddie, Jason Hamilton, with whom she had won 10 times in two years. She also ditched David Leadbetter to work with swing coach Gary Gilchrist. And she left Callaway Golf to sign a dealwith PXG.

Her next tournament is in two weeks in Texas.

DIVOTS: Ian Poulter makes his final start on a major medical extension from a foot injury last year at the Valero Texas Open. Poulter needs $30,624 - alone in 36th place or better - to secure his full card for the rest of the season. Poulter last played the Texas Open in 2013. He tied for 37th. ... Cristie Kerr's victory in Hawaii was the second this year for Americans on the LPGA Tour, matching the total of American victories in 2016. ... Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy are among the early commitments to play in the Memorial.

STAT OF THE WEEK: The last six winners of the RBC Heritage started the final round at least three shots out of


the lead.

FINAL WORD: "Maybe one day I'll wake up and kind of realize what's gone on the last 15 months or so." - Wesley Bryan, who 15 months ago had never played in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament. He won three times on the Web.com Tour last year and earned his first PGA Tour victory Sunday at Hilton Head.around freezing as waves of close to 2,000 racers rolled out of downtown Leadville.

“People were bundled up. It was slow to warm up,” said six-time Leadville 100 winner and Topek Ergon team manager Dave Wiens.

Anticipated rain held off, and it was a warm sunny Colorado afternoon by the time the first racers finished.

Leadville came alive as more finishers crossed the line. The town park took on a festive atmosphere. Dirty-faced finishers smiled and celebrated with their families.

Todd Murray, Ricky MacDonald and John Callahan maintained the 20-year heritage of the race as the only three men to have competed in every Leadville 100 MTB since the beginning. Murray finished first of the three in 8:10:47.

Scouting changes. The Broncos announced multiple changes to their scouting staff last week. The new southeast area scout is Frantzy Jourdain, who spent 13 years with New England and the last three seasons with Houston. Eugene Armstrong shifted to the southwest region. Promoted to college/pro scouts were Rob Paton and Deon Randall. Eddie Simpkins, a former intern, is now a scouting assistant. Led by general manager John Elway, the Broncos’ scouting/personnel staff includes 16 employees.

ConfidentOn January 13, 2017, Paul Skinner earned a place in aviation history he doesn’t want: The 39-year-old became the first drone pilot convicted of a crime for the manner in which he flew. Others have been jailed for flying drones because they were using them to commit crimes; some are serving prison sentences, for example, for remotely piloting aircraft to smuggle drugs and other contraband into prisons. But Skinner’s conviction was unique: When he lost control of his DJI Phantom 3 quadcopter during a parade and two people were injured, he was charged and convicted of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor.

Skinner’s story begins around noon on June 28, 2015. Seattle’s annual Gay Pride parade was about to get under way amid the skyscrapers that line downtown Fourth Avenue. The


street was filled with parade floats and people.

The video from Skinner’s drone begins with the aircraft on the ground where Fourth meets Marion Street. The broad white stripes of the crosswalk loom large across the bottom of the frame. As the Phantom lifts off and turns, a woman with shocks of purple hair enters the frame holding a small child, and both look at the rising camera.

The drone is quickly above them and moving north along the avenue, flying through the canyon of high-rise buildings with crowds of parade-goers below. Moving up the street, the quadcopter drifts to the right but then crabs slightly to the left, as if fighting a crosswind.

The Phantom approaches the end of the block, and the triangular wedges of glass and steel formingthe exterior of Seattle’s Central Library seem startlingly close. The library’s roof is 185 feet high; the drone is high enough to film it. As the drone turns, slices of Puget Sound flash past between skyscrapers. When the image stabilizes, the aircraft is again facing the library, but retreating. The video suddenly ends at 55 seconds into the flight. One second later the Phantom 3 crashed into the 50-story office building at Safeco Plaza.

Although the Phantom was no longer recording, surveillance cameras at Safeco Plaza captured what happened next. One camera is mounted on the front of the Safeco skyscraper and looks down on the plaza several stories below. Small knots of people are milling around, waiting to join the parade. A barely visible white blur plummets from


above and strikes a man standing with a small group of people near the base of the building. The blur ricochets off the man’s head and into a woman’s forehead. The man can be seen rubbing his head in the seconds after impact. The woman is doubled over, her hands covering her face as a companion offers aid. When she looks at her hands, they are covered in blood, according to court records. Unsteady on her feet, she is helped to a nearby bench.

Video from Paul Skinner’s drone captures the ill-fated flight of June 28, 2015. Nobody is sure why the drone died in midair, but it hit Safeco Plaza in Seattle immediately after, and fell onto the group below. Security cameras at Safeco Plaza captured the crashitself: Keep an eye on the group to the left, and watch for the falling drone. Video: Paul Skinner / City of Seattle

A few minutes later the surveillance camera reveals a man, identified in court as Skinner, walking amid the crowd in the middle of the street with a drone controller in his hand. Apparently spotting the fallen drone, Skinner turns off the street and breaks into a trot to approach a man holding the fallen quadcopter.

The aircraft has fallen among a group of lawyers. Although the surveillance camera did not capture sound, one of the lawyers later testified that Skinner claimed ownership of the aircraft and demanded its return. When the lawyers refused, a brief tug of war erupted, with both sides pulling on the drone. Skinner


gave up the fight and left the area. The injured woman later testified that an ambulance took her to a hospital, where she was treated for the cut on her forehead (doctors later determine she suffered a concussion as well). Surprisingly, the man who was first struck suffered only a small bump on the head and marched in the parade as planned.

Skinner remained unidentified until he and his father, a lawyer in nearby Oak Harbor, called Seattle police to claim the drone and request that the injured woman contact them so they could begin addressing her medical bills. Paul Skinner met with a detective a few weeks later and authorized police to search the drone’s memory card for video and GPS data, which were later introduced in courtas evidence.

Section 333 exemptions, named for the statute authorizing them, are the legal mechanism by which the Federal Aviation Administration allows drones to fly for commercial gain. The exemptions establish a number of strict requirements and flight restrictions, including that all pilots flying under the exemption hold a pilot license issued by the FAA. (The rules for hobbyists are more lenient.) Both professionals and hobbyists are prohibited from flying over crowds. Skinner filed for his exemption on April 6, 2015, and it was granted on August 5—roughly a month after the Seattle accident. The exemption authorizes only a specific drone, a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, not the Phantom 3 he flew over the Pride parade.

Seattle had seen other drone-related incidents, but since no injuries were involved, prosecutors declined


a UAV flight, of any altitude, in close proximity of a crowd may have been poor judgement, I do not believe that a 30 day jail sentence fits the guilty verdict rendered by the ‘jury of my peers,’ ” Skinner writes.

As this issue went to press, Skinner remained free on bond as his lawyers worked on his appeal. But Judge Gregory, citing public safety, insisted Skinner meet the terms of his sentence regarding drone registration, the safety class, and his Section 333 exemption requirements in the meanwhile.

Step 5: The Finished Run and Coop

Here is the finished product

Step 6: Adopting the Birds

Here in the UK an ex-bat homecoming charity called the British Hen Welfare Trust has been set up to re house these birds. They request a small donation per bird adopted to cover their fees and have been successful in re-homing thousands of birds.

They organise collection dates every couple of months. More information can be found on their website. A very worthwhile charity in my eyes.

Our birds were adopted a few weeks after the return of my parents. When we first got them, they were in a very poor state with very few feathers due to the conditions they were kept in. We brought them home in cardboard boxes and released them into theirnew home.

Step 7: Settling in

The birds took a week or so to start to feel comfortable in their new environment. At the start we had to put them in the nest boxes at night as they did not know what to do. However after several nights there started to settle and already were looking healthier.

The first week is the trickiest with the birds, however after that they are very fuss free pets. We started feeding them on layers pellets as was recommended to us by a lot of people. They seemed to eat these fine, however sometimes is recommended to start them on a mash ease them on to larger foods.

As the chickens got their health back, so to did they get their feathers. They arrived very bald


LOS ANGELES, Calif. (TST ) — Will Smith, 49, and his son Jaden, 19, have created an eco-friendly water company together, with the latter admitting his environmental consciousness was born when he was out surfing around age 10.
The father-son duo launched the company “Just” back in 2015, but wanted to wait until it gained momentum on its own before people realized they were behind it.
Jaden admitted his love for the ocean began at an early age, with him being devastated to see plastic bottles bobbing beside him as he went out into the water.
Will told The Associated Press: “We did not want this to be a celebrity brand.

In the second such incident at Churchgate this week, a man barged into the ladies compartment of a Western Railway local and harassed women commuters on Wednesday . The accused, Tarak Soni, 51, was nabbed soon after by a team of Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel.But when one of the victims approached the Government Railway Police (GRP) outpost at Churchgate to lodge an FIR, she was turned away . Only after TOI’s intervention the GRP started the process of registering an FIR on Friday evening.
A 22-year-old student and an older woman were the only travellers in the second-class ladies coach of a Churchgatebound local at around 9.40pm on Wednesday . “The train halted near Wankhede stadium and we were at the door, preparing


to alight. Suddenly , Soni climbed in from the tracks. He took one of the seats. We were worried as there was no escorting cop in the compartment,“ the student told TOI. “Later, he got up and stood at the other door. He was constantly staring at us and smiling. We were scared and uncomfortable with his leering and held on to our bags tightly. Soon, he came and stood next to us, forcing us to abandon our position. For the next few minutes, he followed us wherever we stood in the compartment,“ the student added.

Louella Oldbear, a member of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Indian Tribes, used tribal funds to repair one of her personal vehicles and to purchase another. A federal jury convicted her of five counts of embezzling Indian tribal funds in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1163 and one count of making a false statement to a government agent in violation of 18 U.S.C. §during her previous interviews, and Oldbear explained that "she was worried about her husband finding out about how the vehicle was purchased." Id. at 299. Oldbear then asked the agents, "are you going to take me to jail now"? Id.
Oldbear was subsequently indicted for embezzlement and making false statements to federal agents.

C. Oldbear's Proffer at Trial
At trial, Oldbear's defense was based on her state of mind at the time of her charged conduct. She sought to show that because Bullcoming approved her expenditures, she believed she was entitled to the funds and thus did not form the requisite intent for embezzlement. To bolster her theory, she planned to call three witnesses who would have testified that they also received emergency assistance funds for personal vehicle repairs.
The government objected,

She also admitted she could have used tribe-owned vehicles, specifically a tribe van, to fulfill at least some of her work duties. Furthermore, shortly after purchasing the Buick, Oldbear ceased driving it and gave the car to her son. She explained she had done so because she was worried other tribal members would "not like that [I had] a new car." Id. at 372. Finally, she conceded she had helped Bullcoming obtain his own car with tribal funds: a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. Nonetheless, she maintained she had done nothing wrong and claimed the federal investigation leading to her indictment was merely a product of "tribal politics."

Andy Miller's examination of The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society is a great companion to the album which will send listeners straight into a reexamination of the source material. Miller provides enthusiastic descriptions of the tracks' merits, which were not fully appreciated at the time of their release. Through research, interviews with everyone but the irascibleRay Davies - whose "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" personality shines through nonetheless - and a genuine love of the album, Miller gives a detailed representation of the music and its place in rock history. Victor Bevine performs the material with an inquisitive tone that engages the curious music lover interested in a fresh perspective on the culminating effort of one of rock's great bands.

A Samsula sod farm may soon be growing a new product – solar energy – via a Florida Power & Light facility that could start construction early next year.

The facility would be one of more than a dozen FPL plans to build over a span of four years as the company works to expand its use of alternative renewable energy. But the proposal leaves at least one property owner in the rural neighborhood of farms and ranchettes nervous about what to expect.

The Pioneer Trail Solar Energy Center would be built on the south side of State 44, about a mile east of Pioneer Trail, on the former Kirkland Sod Farm. It would include about 300,000 photovoltaic panels, producing up to 74.5 megawatts of electricity a year.

FPL built threesimilar facilities last year across Florida, plans four in 2017 and four in 2018 — enough to power a total of 120,000 homes. The company also installed a commercial set of panels at Daytona International Speedway. By 2023, the company plans for about 4 percent of its energy portfolio to be solar, said spokeswoman Alys Daly, while coal and oil would drop to 1 percent of the mix.

The Samsula sod farm perfectly fit the company's bill for solar sites, said Geoff West, FPL project manager. They look for sites for sale that have already been cleared, are flat and close to a transmission line.

FPL conducted two open houses to discuss the project and invited its neighbors to attend.

The role of the speech-language pathologist in the schools for the treatment of voice disorders: working within the framework of the individuals with disabilities education improvement act.
The role of the speech-language pathologist (SLP) has developed considerably over the past 20 years given the medical and technological advances in life-sustaining procedures. Children born with congenital, surgical, or "medically fragile" conditions become mainstreamed into regular school-based settings, thus extending the traditional role of the treating SLP and multidisciplinary team. Understanding the impact of associated voice disorders on educational performance requires dissemination of additional and important information, as eligibility decisions for students in school-based settings must be made within the framework of the federal legislation and regulations governing the provision of services for students with disabilities. This article discusses how toManchester United will pursue alternative targets to bolster their attacking options this summer after ruling out an £80 million move for Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, sources have told ESPN FC.

Former Manchester City youngster Sancho, 19, has been a long-term United target, with the club's scouting department identifying him as a potential signing prior to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's arrival as the replacement for the sacked Jose Mourinho in December 2018.

- Transfer Talk: Man United making Wan-Bissaka move?

- Sources: United set to make move for Newcastle's Longstaff

- When does the transfer window close?

But while Solskjaer and assistant manager Mike Phelan have encouraged the club's interest in the teenager, who made his England debut against Croatia in October 2018, United have been unable to engage Dortmund in constructive discussions about


a deal for him.

Enquiries by United about Sancho's availability have been rebuffed by Dortmund, who have made it clear that they have no desire to sell the player this summer, having already offloaded United States international forward Christian Pulisic to Chelsea.

Sources said United have been made aware that it would require an offer in the region of £80-90 million to even prompt Dortmund to consider selling Sancho, and with Solskjaer determined to press on with his summer recruitment plans, they have now chosen to look elsewhere due to what they perceive to be an overinflated valuation of a player who has just two full seasons of senior football under his belt.

Sancho remains a player of interest to United, but not at the level of outlay it would requireto persuade Dortmund to sell, sources said.

Plans are already in place to make moves for Swansea City winger Daniel James and Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff. United are also interested in Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

A central defender is also high on Solskjaer's wanted list, with Leicester City's Harry Maguire and Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly the preferred options with Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt expected to reject United's interest in order to move to Barcelona.


So there has been one unexpected addition to the programme of test events for the 2012 Olympics now taking place across London. Last weekend, by the Serpentine, it was the triathlon. This week, in Wembley Arena, the badminton. On Tuesday it was beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade. Next weekend, from historic Westminster to the leafy Surrey Hills and back, it will be the road cycling.

And, right now, perhaps in a high street near you, the riots.

Already the international football, on Wednesday, between England and Holland at Wembley, the venue of the Olympic soccer final, has been postponed, alongside two Carling Cup ties in London, while the weekend's start of the new Premier League season remains in the balance.

As early casualties of the unrest go, this is oflittle significance when compared with the incineration of a 100-year-old family business or the gutting of dozens of homes. The Wembley match was a friendly fixture and, though 70,000 tickets had been sold, many saw it as an unnecessary intrusion into the start of the domestic soccer season.

But what would happen were similar disturbances to break out again in London's poorer suburbs in 50 weeks' time, on the eve of the Olympic Games?

The showpiece arenas of the Lee valley Olympic Park, which is the main stadium, as well as the velodrome and the aquatics centre, are only a short BMX ride from Hackney's Mare Street, and not much further from Tottenham High Road, in the neighbouring borough of Haringey.

The Games will take place during the school holidays, and


the weather could well be warm: two features of this week's riotous events.

Those in charge of security will no doubt be revising and strengthening plans already conditioned by demands which have been steadily rising since the murder of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches and one West German police officer by members of Palestine's Black September group in Munich in 1972, followed by the nail bomb at the 1996 Games, which killed a bystander in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park.

In a statement, the International Olympic Committee said: "Security at the Games is a top priority for the IOC. It is, however, directly handled by the local authorities, as they know best what is appropriate and proportionate. We are confident they will do a good job in this domain."

It is temptingto wonder how all this looks to Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, who ran a rival bid for the 2012 Olympics. His city had been the strong favourite; it had most of the necessary facilities already in place. It had not held the Games since 1924. London's success represented such a bitter defeat that Delanoë protested to the Olympic authorities over supposed irregularities in the winning bid. Perhaps he and his colleagues are smiling now.

Or perhaps not, since only six years ago France experienced something very similar to Britain's current disruption. From a small incident involving a handful of youths in Clichy-sous-Bois, one of the eastern suburbs of Paris, rioting spread through the capital's quartiers difficiles and thence to Amiens, Lille, Strasbourg, Lyon, Toulouse, Marseille, and elsewhere.

The


trouble, in 2005, began on 27 October and lasted until 16 November, Jacques Chirac declared a state of emergency, and the policies of his interior minister, one Nicolas Sarkozy, were attacked by Lilian Thuram, one of the black members of France's World Cup-winning team in 1998, who blamed discrimination and unemployment for the country's unrest.

Who will be London's Thuram? Perhaps Rio Ferdinand, the England and Manchester United defender, who would have played in the match on Wednesday. Ferdinand, an articulate 32-year-old, grew up on an estate in Peckham, one of south London's gang-culture spots, and has campaigned against knife crime. "I can't tell the youths exactly what to do but stealing TVs + trainers + burning innocent people's houses + shops ain't solving nothing at all," he saidhowever minor. London won the 2012 bid on the back of its young people, their significance symbolised by a funky "street art" logo. Promises were hurled around by Tessa Jowell, Sebastian Coe and Ken Livingstone, all pointing to the Olympics as a focus of hope and fulfilment for the young. "This is about kids," Livingstone said.

"Choose London today," Coe said, "and you send out a clear message to the youth of the world. It is a decision about which city will help show a new generation why Olympic sport matters."

In the six years since the bid was won the area has seen much in the way of architectural activity but little in the way of tangible dividends for the younger generation in the London boroughs of Newham, Tower

Meanwhile, U.S. military aircraft are continuing to bomb Islamic State targets near the Mosul Dam.

American fighters, attack aircraft and drones conducted 14 strikes Wednesday and another six on Thursday against insurgent Humvees, improvised explosive device emplacements, mortars, and trucks in the area, according to U.S. Central Command.

All U.S. planes involved exited the area safely, CENTCOM said.

Since Aug. 8, when the Pentagon began bombing militant targets at the request of the Iraqi government, the U.S. military has carried out 90 strikes across the country. The majority of those have been occurred in recent days as the U.S. began providing air support to Iraqi military and Kurdish pesh merga forces operating on the ground against militants near the Mosul Dam, according to CENTCOM.

Iraqi forcesare now in control of the dam, according to DOD.

The latest rounds of airstrikes and the weighing of whether to send more troops to Iraq comes soon after the Islamic State released a video Tuesday showing the execution of American James Foley, a freelance journalist who previously worked for Stars and Stripes.

Foley went missing in 2012 while covering the civil war in Syria.

U.S. officials have confirmed the authenticity of the video.

The militants said the killing was in retaliation for recent U.S. military moves against them, and they threatened to kill another American reporter who they have captured if the American military effort continues.

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama condemned the killing of Foley and suggested that the campaign against the Islamic State will not cease.

Paul Ryan declares, 'We're going to win,' while Bernie Sanders urges Democrats to back Randy Bryce

The fight for the 1st Congressional district is on.

House Speaker Paul Ryan delivered an upbeat message to Waukesha County Republicans on Saturday night and said of the GOP nationally: "We're going to win," while U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders came to Racine and implored Democrats to keep up the fight in 2018 midterm elections and oust Ryan from Congress.

The back-and-forth provided a preview of one of the most highly charged races in the country. Ryan, the Janesville Republican, is facing a spirited Democratic challenge from Racine County iron worker Randy Bryce.

Bryce has already earned the endorsement of Sanders, the Independent from Vermont, but still faces a primary challenge from Cathy Myers, a teacher andRyan .. he is running against all of corporate America," Sanders said. "He is running against Wall Street, he is running against the Koch brothers and the entire billionaire class."

Sanders resurrected many of the themes from his 2016 presidential bid, including income inequality, stagnant wages and the need for greater access to affordable health care.

"We see people working at starvation wages, of nine or ten bucks an hour, and they are falling further and further behind," Sanders said. "In America, nobody who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.”

Bryce said he was awe-struck to be on the same stage with Sanders, who saw a groundswell of support in Wisconsin before losing the Democratic presidential nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

centering attempt from behind the net that went in off Caps defenseman Mike Green at 3:33. Jamie Langenbrunner slammed Shaone Morrisonn in the offensive left corner to free the puck for Niedermayer to relay behind the net to Rolston to bounce in off Green.

Nicklas Bergfors put New Jersey in front at 11:20 of the third with the first of his two late power-play goals, beating Semyon Varlamov short side, off the glove, from right wing. Langenbrunner lugged the puck up the middle, shoved it ahead to Travis Zajac, who passed left to Zach Parise to immediately put it on Bergfors’ stick.

Just 3:50 later, the Devils scored a third goal for the first time this season in Newark, Bergfors tipping in Zajac’s power-play point shot.

Varlamov was on the benchfor an extra attacker when Tomas Fleischmann brought Washington back within one with 1:37 left. The Caps couldn’t muster another, and Varlamov suffered his first loss against five victories this year, and his first-ever in regulation (9-1-1 career).

In 1968 Michigan Governor George Romney tried to run for the presidency, he failed miserably. He was gaffe prone, disjointed, disconnected from the common man and came across as a generally bumbling political oddity; prompting Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes to say:

…”Watching George Romney run for the presidency was like watching a duck try to make love to a football”…

Later, George Romney went on to try and undermine the insurgent “common sense” conservative candidacy of Ronald Reagan.

Today, George Romney’s son, Mitt Romney, another failed presidential candidate, an almost identical duck, tries to undermine the insurgent candidacy of Donald Trump.

There is a profound amount of irony, and hypocrisy, found in the words of the younger duck today as he referenced 1964 and wise words from Ronald Reagan; a man

Assembly passes borough budget

After a making few amendments at its Tuesday meeting, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed the fiscal year 2015 budget.

Funding debates focused on three areas: education, non-departmental organizations and the assembly budget.

In the draft budget, Borough Mayor Mike Navarre proposed the borough contribute $43.5 million to schools. The KPB School District requested an additional $1.5 million. The mayor’s proposed amendments at the Tuesday meeting called for an increase of $500,000 to the school district.

According to a memo, because of the closure of the Kenai River to king salmon and the impact of the Funny River Horse Trail wildfire, sales tax revenues are projected to be less than forecasted in the draft for both FY14 and FY15.

When the Kurds and their friends in the autonomous Democratic Federation of Northern Syria use the revolutionary slogan ‘Jin Jiyan Azadi!’ – Women Life Freedom! – this is no empty phrase. They are summing up the essence of a revolution that has women’s freedom at its heart, both physically and philosophically. When I visited Northern Syria with a women’s delegation in May, I learnt that the women revolutionaries were not just the young girls with guns so beloved by war photographers, but also middle-aged women in long floral dresses who are building a new society in the neighbourhoods where


Due to heightened interest in education and especially PR education, this website is repeating counselor Bill Huey's critique of PRSA's 2007 report on PR education. (Huey is president of Strategic Communications, a corporate and marketing consultancy in Atlanta, and author of “Carbon Man,” a novel about greed.)

Are you a PR practitioner, perhaps with an advanced degree, who is thinking of teaching at a university someday?

That's the message buried deep within the pages of The Report of the Commission on Public Relations Education, published recently by PRSA and ironically titled, "The Professional Bond."

It might as well have been titled, "The Way Forward."

While not as high-profile as The Iraq Study Group Report, it is equally dense in its language, circular in its reasoning, and otherworldly in its recommendations, particularly withinternal jurisprudence in Mexico and the United States, but their relations with each other as well. In 1928, the two countries' representatives to the International Water Commission were negotiating the status of existing diversions from the Colorado and Rio Grande, and the American section proposed that, as a matter of comity, such uses be recognized and confirmed as prior appropriations. The Mexican section rejected the proposal, stating that it could not agree to any restriction on its sovereignty over river tributaries within its own territory, and so could not recognize even established uses of this water on the other side of the border....

Due to these doctrinal disparities, Mexico-U.S. water disputes have been addressed largely through diplomacy rather than the courts....

Notwithstanding divergent legal regimes and diplomatic limits, a few


examples of Mexico-U.S. legal integration suggest opportunities for water law harmonization. The traditional Roman distinction between gradual accretion and rapid avulsion of watercourses became the basis for the International Boundary Commission's settling ownership of the Rio Bravo/Rio Grande bancos (sandbar islands). Bancos were allocated in the Colorado River on the same basis.... [T]he commission used a legal historical source, in this instance an ancestor of Mexican civil law, to fill a gap and reconcile two divergent regimes.

I recently noticed that the Lawbook Exchange catalog from a couple of years ago featured an interesting 1733 book on water law, with the intriguing Latin-German title Tractatus Juridicus de Alluvione, Insulis,is that these controls were the first really successful method of reversing pollution in the United States and moving the country towards meeting its public health and environmental goals.

Why the United States finally embraced specific technologically related requirements to reach its public health and environmental goals at this time has many plausible answers. One explanation involves the popular view of technology at the time as a savior providing benefits to humanity.

Hundley understood that the past should be treated on its own terms, not used as a whipping boy for concerns of the present. He was as judicious and fair-minded as he was prolific. The Great Thirst addresses Donald Worster's thesis in Rivers of Empire (1985). Worster argued that in the American West, a marriage between


government and private capital created a "Leviathan" that served the rich and powerful at the expense of common citizens. Not only did the great water projects of the twentieth century transform the face of California and create an unsustainable economy that centralized people in a few great cities; those projects also subverted the region's democratic promise. Worster branded the West a "hydraulic society" and likened it to the empires of the ancient Middle East, all of which assumed that they could engineer deserts out of existence but learned otherwise.

The Great Thirst raised profound and depressing questions about the future of natural resource planning and management in the United States, not just in California. To some extent, Hundley agreed with Worster. He recognized that the arrogance, greed, and conceitof water planners played a huge role in the history of California, and that the state's great wealth had come at a very high price. He also acknowledged the power of the federal government in water development. Huge agricultural water subsidies, for example, had promoted social inequalities, including a permanent underclass of farm laborers and their families in the San Joaquin Valley. But Hundley denied that the water kings conned an unwary public into supporting water projects, or that the problem was too much government. Indeed, the public consistently welcomed such projects and voted for them as a tool of economic growth and greater wealth. He thought that a more centralized, unified power over water might serve the public interest better than the splintered authority characterized by dozens


of governing boards and local districts.

Three Sue City for Typhoid Deaths. Milwaukee, Wis.-Three suits brought against the city of Milwaukee as a result of the recent typhoid epidemic, have been filed in circuit court, by two men for the deaths of their sons, and by a woman for the death of her husband. They are for $10,000 each. The complainants claim that the victims contracted the disease from the use of lake water, alleged to be unfit to drink because of the sewage which is being constantly emptied into the lake. The suits charge negligence in allowing the water to become polluted and at the same time supplying it to drink. It is claimed that at various times during the last ten years the citylarger and more corporate-dominated California, may explain their differing analyses.

Frederick and May Rindge, the unlikely couple whose love story propelled Malibu’s transformation from an untamed ranch in the middle of nowhere to a paradise seeded with movie stars, are at the heart of this story of American grit and determinism....

The newly married couple reached Los Angeles in 1887 when it was still a frontier, and within a few years Frederick, the only heir to an immense Boston fortune, became one of the wealthiest men in the state. After his sudden death in 1905, May spent the next thirty years fighting off some of the most powerful men in the country—as well as fissures within her own family—to preserve Malibu as her private kingdom. Her struggle, one of the


took only six years for an actual road to materialize, and with it came the movie stars and the surfers and the billionaires and all the other fauna we associate with this pristine stretch of sand where, thanks to a south-facing shoreline, you need never squint into the sun.

But May Rindge’s legacy of cussedness and exclusion lives on. Her unfinished mansion has been reborn as a gated community, and in an atavistic echo of old battles, Malibu’s newest homeowners are once again working to seal off public access to their coastline.

Peter Reich's introductory essay begins by noting developments in the field of western (US) water history since a 1996 special issue of Western Legal History on the topic. He begins by noting the influence of two books publishedin 1992, Hundley's The Great Thirst and Donald Pisani's To Reclaim a Divided West:

In contrast to previous scholarship, Hundley's and Pisani's work marked a maturity in western water studies, arguing that no single factor--the environment, private initiative, or governmental control--was dominant in shaping legal doctrine....

In the two decades since, scholarship on this topic has proliferated, particularly on geographical areas crossing state lines and international boundaries.... [Recent work in the field] build upon Norris Hundley's lifetime evaluation of the dialectic between private rights and government water control over a range of geographic contexts from the local to the transnational.

Reich goes on to survey several books with a regional, interstate perspective (some including Mexico), as well as several focusing on specific territories or states. More on the latter topic later.

One story Jack loves to tell is how he and Carol met – when he was a local news anchor in Kansas City. They started to meet regularly for a quick meal between his shows and became good friends. Whenever Jack had to leave, his exit line was "We'd better wrap this up. Got to get back to the station." One night Carol finally asked, "What kind of a gas station do you work at? You're always wearing a tie."

Jack explained it was a television station. He loved the fact that she had no clue and couldn't care less that he had been on air there every night for four years.

Pachytene chromosome pairing in the desynaptic was apparently normal but a diakinesis and metaphase I several univalents were found. Perennial suckers of this plant in the rainy season showed regular meiosis and good fertility. It is probable that desynapsis was caused by an interaction of genotype and environment, in which the desynaptic gene became activated by the rapid increase in summer temperatures whilst its effect on chromosome synapsis was completely lost in the cooler periods.


It wasn't all that long ago that Microsoft was talking up the Virtual WiFi feature developed by Microsoft Research and set for inclusion in Windows 7 , but something got lost along the road to release day, and the functionality never officially made it into the OS. As you might expect with anything as big and complicated as an operating system though, some of that code did make it into the final release, and there was apparently enough of it for the folks at Nomadio to exploit into a full fledged feature. That's now become Connectify, a free application from the company that effectively turns any Windows 7 computer into a virtual WiFi hotspot -- letting you, for instance, wirelessly tether a number of devices to your laptopin the heat of awards season, so it’ll be interesting to see if the pic can land Wahlberg another Oscar nod.

Damascus, Syria (CNN) The United States is making preparations to suspend bilateral talks with Russia on Syria -- unless Moscow takes immediate steps to end the assault on Aleppo and restore a ceasefire, the US State Department said Wednesday.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said in a telephone call to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, that the United States and its partners held Russia responsible for a drastic escalation in attacks that have put civilians at great risk.

Two hospitals in eastern Aleppo have been bombed "out of service," staff and activists said, as airstrikes pounded rebel-held parts of the northern Syrian city on Wednesday.

Hospital staff said the city's M2 and M10 hospitals were hit early Wednesday, putting intensive care units out of use.

Dr. Mounir Hakimi of the InternationalUnion of Medical Care and Relief Organizations and UK-based charity Syrian Relief told CNN that an airstrike hit the M10 hospital and shelling the M2.

"Anyone offering help to civilians now is being targeted," he said. "It's the message that any humanitarian response is not welcome."

At least six people were killed Wednesday morning when an airstrike struck a bakery as people lined up to buy bread, according to activists. They said the death toll was expected to rise.

Ground battles also raged Wednesday in Aleppo between the Syrian army and rebels.

The Syrian army said it took control of the central Farafra neighborhood in Aleppo's old city


Tuesday, bringing it closer to the rebel-held eastern areas.

However, rebels and activists inside the besieged city told CNN there had been no ground assault in those areas.

There are conflicting reports of how many people were killed Tuesday in airstrikes on eastern Aleppo.

The rebel-held Aleppo Health Directorate reported 18 deaths, including six children. The activist group Aleppo Media Center said more than 30 people were killed, but it was unclear if some of those deaths were a result of earlier strikes or bodies pulled out of the rubble.

The UN children's agency, UNICEF, said Wednesday that at least 96 children had been killed and 223 injured in eastern Aleppo since Friday.

Hundreds of airstrikes have rocked the beleaguered city, home to more than 250,000 people, since the Syrian government, backed byRussia, announced a renewed, "comprehensive" offensive on Thursday.

Hospital strikes 'a big blow'

The strikes on two of Aleppo's remaining hospitals likely will only compound the misery of civilians trapped there.

Hakimi, a UK-based orthopedic surgeon, told CNN that due to damage to the electricity and oxygen generators and the intensive care unit at M10, "the hospital as we speak is out of service. It's one of the main hospitals in Aleppo, so it's a big blow."

JUST WATCHED Aleppo bombardment worst in five-year civil war Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Aleppo bombardment worst in five-year civil war 01:12

There were no casualties in the strike on M10, Hakimi said, but three patients were killed and two members of staff were injured at the M2 hospital. Five artillery shells struck that facility,


he said, citing information from medical and humanitarian workers on the ground.

"The problem now is that there's no intensive care units in either hospital," Hakimi said. "They were already running at double capacity because during the weekend there was the most intensive airstrikes ever."

The remaining hospitals are already running at full capacity, he said. There may be more instances in which doctors perform surgery on patients as they lie on the ground due to lack of space, he said.

"We are so close to humanitarian catastrophe in Aleppo," Hakimi said.

The Syria Civil Defense group, a volunteer emergency medical service also known as the White Helmets, was also hit in Aleppo on the weekend, he said.

UNICEF said the 30 doctors who remain in Aleppo face an increasing number of traumaTottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has ruled out a move to bring Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale back to the Premier League club.

Bale starred for Tottenham in the Premier League after coming through the ranks at Southampton and moved to Real Madrid in 2013. He has been linked with a return to north London, but Pochettino simply responded that "it's not realistic", when asked about the rumours.

The Spurs manager did reveal, though, that the club are looking to make signings before the transfer window closes on August 9, although seemed relaxed as he said that the club are 'going to see what happens' as they look to bring players in.

character. That character is loved by Urraque, and duels with Sanche in the fifth and final act. It focuses on the relationship between Chimene and the title character, a son of Don Diegue, and this play was the subject of a furious pamphlet war after being condemned by the Academie Francaise for not conforming to the classical unities. The title character is originally named Rodrigue and successfully battles the Moors, thus earning the title nickname. For 10 points, name this play by Pierre Corneille about a medieval Spanish hero.
