Amazon's one-day delivery ad for Prime members has been banned as misleading.

The UK advertising regulator said it had received 280 complaints, mostly from Prime customers who reported not receiving their packages within a day.

It said the ad "must not appear again in its current form" and Amazon must make clear that "a significant proportion" of Prime items were not available for next-day delivery.

Amazon said the "overwhelming majority" of one-day orders arrived on time.

It said the "period of extreme weather" last year meant "a small proportion of orders" missed their delivery deadline.

The firm's top service, Prime, offers next-day deliveries for £7.99 a month, or £79-a-year.

The Advertising Standards Authority said the adverts for Amazon Prime on its website in December meant customers would assume "one-day delivery" appliedImpact evaluation of an oral health intervention amongst primary school children in Ireland.
A pilot oral health programme was developed which aimed to improve dental health knowledge and behaviour amongst Irish school children aged 7-12 years. The programme comprised two integral components: a television campaign, run over a 6-week period, was incorporated into the children's programme 'Den TV' on national television, with video clips of a member of the music band Boyzone promoting key oral health messages; and a Smile of the Year contest. Concurrently, a dental nurse delivered an interactive talk with pupils, showed a video of the Den TV oral health programme and distributed posters and leaflets. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the overall intervention on school pupils' dental health knowledge


Gross anatomy of the head and neck and neuroscience in an integrated first-year medical school curriculum.
The curriculum for first year medical students at the University of Cincinnati has changed. Beginning in the fall of 1998, material in the first year was presented in an Integrated Educational Program. The goal of this program was to provide students with an understanding of the normal structure, function, and development of the human body. The purpose of this report is to discuss the unique integration that occurs in a block offered during the Spring Quarter. The two components of this block are Gross Anatomy of the Head and Neck and Brain and Behavior I. Brain and Behavior I is a new offering combining neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, and a psychiatry/behavioral component. The uniqueSwitzerland: Coop records 5% sales increase

Coop was able to increase its retail and wholesale sales last year. According to the Swiss company, sales rose by 5% to around 30.7 bn Swiss francs.

In 2017, Coop broke the 30-bn-Swiss-franc-barrier for the first time. The company increased its net sales by 9% to around CHF 14.2 bn, particularly in the wholesale and production sectors. The Coop subsidiary Transgourmet, which is active as a wholesaler in many European countries, accounted for a large share of the growth in the wholesale trade with a good CHF 9.7 bn. This enabled the Swiss wholesaler to further expand its position as the second-largest company in the European collection and delivery wholesale trade.

Coop specialist formats grew particularly strongly

Robshaw reveals captaincy pain

England captain Chris Robshaw admitted he'd been laid low by the flak he encountered after some questionable decision-making.

England captain Chris Robshaw admitted he'd been laid low by the flak he encountered after some questionable decision-making during the 2012 end-of-year internationals.

Robshaw's leadership qualities came under severe scrutiny following England's losses at home to Australia and South Africa in November.

He was criticised for running kickable penalties against the Wallabies and then, with time running out the following week against the Springboks, his decision to tell Owen Farrell to go for goal with England four points behind and needing the five that would come from a try for victory.

Farrell landed the kick but time ran out and England lost 16-15.

However, England then ended the year on a colossalhigh when they returned to Twickenham the following week and, against all predictions, beat world champions New Zealand by a record 38-21.

It was just what Harlequins flank Robshaw, who captained the London club to the Premiership title last season, needed after a rocky few weeks.

"Beating New Zealand like that was definitely satisfying for me, it's always nice to finish on something special," the 26-year-old openside said Monday as he was confirmed as England captain by coach Stuart Lancaster for the forthcoming Six Nations.

"The previous year we as a team and myself had enjoyed a lot of good press.

"It was my first time experiencing the other side.

"The day after South Africa I went into camp and my head was a bit down. I went home for the weekend to


try and get away. I was a bit down and moping about.

"That night the boys spoke to me and said, 'Don't worry, we're going to win this weekend and it will be fine'.

"It really made me appreciate the character of the guys we have in the England squad at the moment."

England, runners-up in last season's Six Nations, head into their 2013 opener at home to Scotland on February 2 as one of the favourites for the tournament with France, the other major European side who impressed during the autumn test series.

And Robshaw said it was vital England maintained the standards they had set for themselves against the All Blacks.

"New Zealand is the benchmark of where we want to be as a team. It's where we strive to be,"to the streets.

“No doubt that’s a


factor not only in the delay over the visit but also the secrecy surrounding the details.

“But there’s no escape. We could mobilise hundreds of thousands at a day’s notice.”

The Stop Trump group formed in February in response to the President’s short-lived and highly controversial “travel ban” against residents of seven Muslim majority nations.

It has the backing of several high profile politicians, including Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas, former Labour leader Ed Miliband, former Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and London Labour MPs Tulip Siddiq and David Lammy.

Several high-profile names from the entertainment world also back the group, including singers Paloma Faith and Lily Allen, comedian Frankie Boyle and writer Caitlin Moran.

Donald Trump, Sr. Wiki/Biography

US President Donald John Trump Sr. was born on 14 June 1946, in Queens, New York City USA, of German (father) and Scottish (mother) descent, and is an entrepreneur, television personality, film and television producer, as well as an investor, and as of January 2017, President of the USA. Until recently, Donald Trump was perhaps best known for his multi-million dollar businesses and self-promotion, namely through such enterprises as “Trump Entertainment Resorts” and “The Trump Organization”, but also for making and losing several fortunes, at least theoretically.

So just how rich is Donald Trump? Even authoritative sources have trouble assessing Trump’s net worth, but have estimated that Donald’s wealth is somewhat less


than he has variously claimed, at no more than $3.7 billion as of early 2017, accumulated through his various business interests during a career now spanning close to 50 years. However, failure to disclose tax returns as expected of a presidential candidate – allegedly because of continuing IRS audits, but denied by the IRS – continue to cast doubt over even this figure, partly because of volatility in the real estate market, but perhaps more so as Trump insists that he self-funded his presidential campaign. Significant assets include a casino and hotel in Atlantic City, which is called Trump Taj Mahal, and Trump Entertainment Resorts founded in 1995, after the purchase of the Atlantic City Hotel, where the business of the company is currently located. As President, hissalary will be $400,000, plus an automatic $50,000 for expenses.

Donald Trump Net Worth $3.7 Billion

Donald Trump studied at The Kew-Forest School, but from 13 years of age he was enrolled at the New York Military Academy because of behavioural problems, and from where he eventually matriculated. Initially he registered at Fordham University, then transferred to Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a BA in economics in 1968, while concurrently taking a job at his father’s company, which saw the start of his net worth. At the time, Trump wasn’t drafted for military service, initially because of deferments to study, then apparently because of heel spurs. Trump’s business career started at “Elizabeth Trump and Son”, which had been established by his father. Donald Trump took full


control of it in 1971, and renamed it The Trump Organization in 1999.

Trump began acquiring various properties around New York City, among which was The Taj Mahal Casino in 1988, and quickly showed his tendency for narcissism by renaming it the Trump Taj Mahal – but which resulted in bankruptcy and financial re-structuring in 1991, including the sale of the Trump Shuttle airline and his mega-yacht, the Trump Princess. Trump’s financial situation improved somewhat when his father Fred died in 1999, and divided his estate of around $300 million equally among his four surviving children. Donald continued building properties, including his New York skyscraper called Trump World Tower which was finished in 2001, and an apartment complex in Manhattan known as Trump Place. Again, many other projects areself-named, including the Trump Marina casino, and Trump Plaza, which is a part of Trump Empire. Additionally, he has been involved in golf course design, construction of casinos and hotels, and has continued to make various investments in stocks and shares.

However, not all projects have proceeded smoothly, and Trump’s net worth has experienced considerable volatility over the years, with several real estate projects under his name having foreclosed. Further bankruptcies occurred in 1992 (Trump Plaza Hotel), 2004 (Trump Hotels and Seaside Resorts), and in 2009 (Trump Entertainment Resorts); although business bankruptcies filed under Chapter 7 of the US Bankruptcy Code,, there is no doubt that Donald had considerable personal involvement in these dealings. Regardless, the value of Trump’s stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts is estimated to amount to


over $200 million, and Donald’s other, current valuable assets include Trump Entertainment Resorts Riverside South, valued at $170 million, and Trump Tower, valued at $288 million.

Trump has also been involved in marketing various real estate projects around the world, but actually owns very few – apparently using his name has been very profitable, including on projects in Mexico, Dubai and The Philippines, but that situation may not continue while in public office, and also because of the persona he projected during the presidential campaign. Even so, recently the owner of Trump Towers Istanbul, who was paying Donald for using his name, now wants to dissociate the property from him following his call to prevent Muslims entering the US. This is not the first time that Trump has facedsuch a problem, as he first attracted public attention in 1973 when accused of violations of the Fair Housing Act for allegedly denying rental housing to racial minorities in New York.

Donald Trump had previously received most public attention when he began making appearances in the reality game show called “The Apprentice”, which first aired in 2004, although not now with Trump’s involvement. Over his years on the show, Donald Trump became known for his flamboyant manner and blunt attitude, however, he received a couple of Emmy nominations, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame apparently as a result of these shows, as well as for his appearances on WWE, during which he hosted several “WrestleMania” pay-per-views shows. In fact, for his contributions to WWE, Donald Trump


was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

Aside from property and specific TV programs, between 1996 and 2015 Trump had substantial business interests in the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe beauty pageants; the latter in particular is of public interest, but subsequently lost by Trump supposedly because of racist remarks he made.

Overall, the UK Economist magazine has analysed Donald Trump’s business career, and concluded that his “…performance has been mediocre compared with the stock market and property in New York City.”

In his less-than-private personal life, Donald Trump has been married three times, firstly to Ivana Zelnickova (1977-91) a Czech model with whom he has two sons and a daughter; they divorced because of his affair with actress Maria Marples, later his secondyoung and beautiful piece of ass.

The allegations were understood by most rational-thinking adults as quite serious, as Trump initially went on television and offered a cash reward to Obama if he released his birth certificate (which, by that point, had already been released and available publicly). Showing that there were no hard feelings, Obama allowed Trump to attend the White House Press Corps Dinner, where Obama announced to Trump he would do one better, and play

As the world discovers the skills of the man from Namur as the keeper of all that’s good in the wonderful big band jazz tradition, he has quietly expanded his musical thinking on the stage where the existence of the CBBB as an instrument for his imaginations is virtually comparable to that of the Ellington, has done with his men.

Like Ellington and unlike, say, Gil Evans, Francy Boland has the advantage of having an orchestra to write for. In the decade of the CBBB’s existence, he has had time to weight up and balances the massive resources within the band and every track abounds with examples of his judgement. By now he knows exactly when to call on the phenomenal

There is an added poignancy to “Endosmose”. The searing alto on this track was the last that Derek Humble recorded with the Band before his death on the 23rd of February 1971. Humble was one of the pillars which sustained the CBBB organisation in its earliest days and, thankfully, lived to enjoy the international acclaim which the Band was accorded after many years of struggle.

This collection includes reports, documents, data, correspondence, and public comments from both the 1995 and 2005


the deal, senior officials in Berlin, Paris and London say it may be only a matter of time before the pact between Tehran and six world powers unravels, with grave consequences for Middle East security, nonproliferation efforts and transatlantic ties.

The two-year-old agreement, under which Iran agreed to freeze its nuclear program for 15 years in exchange for sanctions relief, is viewed in Europe as a rare triumph of international diplomacy in the Middle East.

As tensions over North Korea’s nuclear activities risk boiling over into all-out war, any move by the United States to undermine the Iran deal is seen in Europe as utter folly.

European capitals have been delivering this message to the White House and Congress in one of the most intense lobbying campaigns in recent memory. InTrump would kick the ball to Congress, which would then have 60 days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions lifted as part of the JCPOA.

THREE-PRONGED RESPONSE

European officials said they were preparing a three-pronged strategy if this does occur.

First, Berlin, London and Paris would issue statements reaffirming their commitment to the deal.

Second, they would redouble efforts to lobby Congress, which appears keen to keep the deal, against any rash moves.

And third, they would present measures to pressure Iran over its ballistic missile program and destabilizing policies in the Middle East — areas that fall outside the narrowly-focused nuclear deal.

French President Emmanuel Macron alluded to this at the United Nations last month. Diplomats said the package was still in the works and they had not yet briefed Brussels on it.

Iyama Hofuku-ji is a temple of the Rinzai Zen Buddhist sect, and is located in Soja, Okayama Prefecture.

The Sangharama monument here is said to be very rarely seen in this area. Within the temple precincts is the second oldest three-tiered pagoda in the prefecture and it is designated as an important cultural asset.

Iyama Hofuku-ji is associated with a legend about a 'rat' and Sesshū, a famous ink-landscape artist. Sesshū was put in the temple for ascetic training when he was young. However, he only liked to draw pictures and did not like to recite sutras. One day he was punished and tied to a column by a senior monk. When the monk decided to forgive Sesshū and untie him, he saw a large rat. The monk tried tochase the rat away, but it stayed still. Staring at it closely, he saw it was a rat drawn by Sesshū using his foot and his tears. The priest began to understand that the boy had an extraordinary talent for drawing and later he did not reproach Sesshū from drawing any more.


The Philadelphia Eagles need some wide receivers, and Stefon Diggs appears to want out of Minnesota. Multiple reports indicate Diggs wants to be traded, and the Eagles should be in the market for a player of Diggs’ caliber. Diggs would provide an immediate upgrade to the depth chart while also providing the offense with some much-needed youth at the position.

Stefon Diggs, Philadelphia Eagles A Perfect Trade Destination

Stefon Diggs the Player

Diggs is one of the few wide receivers in the league capable of doing literally everything at a high level. While some fans might be taken aback by his (relatively) underwhelming volume stats, all the advanced numbers show that Diggs truly is among the best of the best.

In 2019, Diggs finished second in the league in yards per routeschool. I’d been interesting in architecture and possibly civil engineering and saw this listed as a possible career choice, researched it further, and decided I wanted to do that. The career’s scope of building parks, studying human habitat, creating impressive civic spaces, city plazas, and squares was very interesting to me and I chose to pursue this path at Penn State, which consistently has a top program in the nation.

The star of Bicentennial Man and Patch Adams was rumoured to have coveted the role of Hagrid, played in the film by Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane. "There were a couple of parts I would have wanted to play, but there was a ban on American actors," Williams told yesterday's New York Post. That said, he is not ruling out a role in one of the sequels. "Maybe one day," he shrugged. "Say if [Harry] goes to Yale and becomes president."

In the film, the young Harry is shadowed wherever he goes by his faithful owl Hedwig. But the possible implications have experts in a flap. "In a sense the timing of this film is unfortunate, coming just before Christmas," says Ray Lowder of the Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre in Northumberland. "An owl may top many a child's Christmas list this season, and already we're being left with unwanted ones." The sublimely named Caroline Screech of Cornwall's Screech Owl Sanctuary agreed: "Many children may quickly become bored with their new acquisition, especially when they realise how frequently they have to clean out the aviary, and that owls can't be cuddled."

Set when Russia acquired a portion of Manchuria in the nineteenth century, a demographic time-bomb may bring any marriage of convenience to an unhappy end.

In the grand scope of Chinese history, Russia’s presence in Northeast Asia is a recent development. Until the reign of Ivan III, which ended in 1505, Muscovy held less than 3 percent of present-day Russia, and it was not until 1639, at the end of the European Age of Discovery, that Russian explorers would first reach the Sea of Okhotsk. Russia arrived in the region in an era of tumult, as the sinking Ming Dynasty tried to contain a peasant rebellion and stave off waves of incursions by Manchu horsemen, who finally captured Beijing in 1644, establishing the dynasty that would become known


as the Qing.

During the late seventeenth century, Cossacks would clash with Manchu forces along the Amur River, which today separates the Russian Far East from the northeastern Chinese provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin. The Manchus mostly got the best of the interlopers, and the first Sino-Russian treaty, signed in 1689, awarded the Qing territory north of the Amur in exchange for Russian traders’ access to Chinese markets. Henceforth, Moscow would adopt a canny strategy of free-riding, slowly advancing when the Qing faced other external or internal threats, but it would need to wait nearly two centuries, until China’s final imperial dynasty had entered its death spiral, to capture all of coastal Manchuria.

In contemporary China, it is known as the “century of humiliation”: the period starting with Britain’s victoryin the First Opium War in 1842 and lasting at least until Mao Zedong’s declaration of the People’s Republic in 1949. Beginning in the 1850s, Russians seized advantage of Chinese disarray to pressure the Qing’s northern frontier, from restive Muslim Xinjiang in the west to the Amur River in the east. Two “unequal treaties” in 1858 and 1860 gave Russia more land than it had conceded to the Manchus two hundred years earlier, including the vast region then called Outer Manchuria. The southern part of this concession would become Russia’s maritime province, Primorsky Krai, where the city of Vladivostok (“Ruler of the East”) was chartered in 1880.

The century that followed Moscow’s “Amur annexation” introduced dramatic changes to Northeast Asia’s political landscape, but did not erase Chinese resentment over


this lost territory, which was to become a significant irritant during the Sino-Soviet split. What started as an ideological dispute between the world’s two largest communist states led to a set of border clashes, the most explosive of which occurred along an Amur River tributary in 1969. Five years earlier, Mao had infuriated Moscow when he told visiting Japanese reporters that much of the Russian Far East was stolen land; now, he instructed Chinese premier Zhou Enlai to press this inflammatory line in emergency talks with his Soviet counterpart. The risk of war passed despite Beijing’s provocative rhetoric, but Chinese bitterness did not—as Henry Kissinger would learn during his first meeting with Deng Xiaoping in 1974, when the topic of a U.S.-Soviet arms summit in Vladivostok prompted thethe official line. For although China currently maintains no claims to Russian land, many in Moscow remain convinced that Beijing has not given up on the Far East forever. Fueling Russian fear is a fantastic population imbalance and a wave of illegal Chinese immigration which could eventually render European Russians a regional minority. With 110 million residents—and 65 million in the border provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin alone—the northeast holds only 8 percent China’s population but is more than three quarters the size of Russia’s, which is heavily concentrated west of the Ural Mountains. With around 6 million people, the Russian Far East is among the most vacant places on earth and is only growing emptier, as nationwide demographic collapse is compounded by out-migration. Endowed with oil, gas,


coal and timber, the region is the opposite of nearby China: rich in resources while starved for labor and capital.

Thus, although Moscow and Beijing recently staged their largest-ever joint naval drill off the coast of Primorsky Krai, Russia has continued to run exercises which appear to be aimed at China—including a 2010 ground drill tailored to repel an invasion by an unnamed foe resembling the People’s Liberation Army, and massive war games held just last month. In addition, the Kremlin has maintained its time-honored partnership with India, and has also sought to improve ties with China’s archnemesis Japan, pledging to negotiate a long-delayed World War II peace treaty, which would not only sow the seeds for additional Japanese investment in Far East oil and gas fields, but couldline of control in areas disputed with India. While Chinese nationalists loathed the Manchu Qing in the early twentieth century, they are now inclined to embrace its capacious borders—and if Beijing’s hawks grow louder in an era of slowing growth, some may recall the Russian indignities that Mao and Deng never forgot.

Needless to say, none of this promises an immediate end to Russo-Chinese collusion, nor does it obviate the need for Washington to pursue pragmatic policies designed to avert such a partnership. Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping will continue to seek common ground, if only as a result of their shared discomfort in an international system built and maintained by the United States and its allies. As Leslie Gelb and The National Interest publisher Dimitri Simes noted in


Administration's Dressing Down of Israel is a 'Gross Overreaction'

New York, NY, March 12, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today said it was shocked and stunned by the Administration's public dressing down of Israel by saying it had "undermined trust and confidence in the peace process, and in America's interests," as related by Assistant Secretary of State Philip J. Crowley in his daily briefing. Crowley was referring to the announcement about future building in Jerusalem made during Vice President Joe Biden's Israel visit.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

We are shocked and stunned at the Administration's tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem.

Superstar teachers and great charter schools are saving thousands of young lives, writes Steven Brill, but the intensity and time commitment required of the teachers and principals in these schools is burning them out. In an excerpt from his new book, Class Warfare, published in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, Brill argues that reformers need to find a middle ground for teachers and principals that gives them a work life somewhere between the status quo and an unsustainable sprint. Finding a way to inspire teachers without burning them out, and reaching into more American classrooms, means working with teachers unions, Brill concludes. In Spring 2009, EdNext published a look at the earliest days of KIPP, and at the lives of these superstar teachers and leaders in great charterbus or rail line traveling in the same direction to help you complete your trip.

EU foreign ministers agreed Monday there would be no change in the bloc's Russia policy, including sanctions, as the union's diplomatic chief warned the Ukraine situation had got "much worse" in recent weeks.

They said they would stick to their course until Russia fully implemented the Ukraine peace accords it had backed in September, despite EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini's suggestion of a review in the way the European Union deals with Russia.

"EU foreign ministers agree we must keep sanctions pressure on Russia until it helps deliver peace in Ukraine," Britain's Philip Hammond said on Twitter said after talks in Brussels.

"EU must stay the course," Hammond added.

The 28-nation EU imposed limited economic sanctions after the annexation of Crimea in March 2014, with more stringent measures following the shootingdown of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July.

With a fresh round of fighting erupting in eastern Ukraine, Mogherini said the "latest developments on the ground are not encouraging, rather the contrary."

"The situation on the ground today is much worse than in last weeks," Mogherini told a press conference after the talks.

In a briefing paper before the meeting, Mogherini had asked ministers to look beyond the immediate Ukraine crisis to consider if both sides could make progress on shared concerns such as Syria, Iraq and terrorism.

She also suggested controversially that a distinction might be made between sanctions imposed for Russia's annexation of Crimea in March and those for backing pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine.


Waging Culture 2012: the socio-economic status of Canadian visual artists

The rumours are true, we are redoing the Waging Culture survey.

The first Waging Culture survey was undertaken in 2008, and covered the 2007 calendar year. Covering the social and economic conditions of Canadian porfessional visual artists, it was the most comprehensive study of artists in Canada since the Statistics Canada Canadian Cultural Labour Force survey of 1993.

Five years on, and it is time to return to gauge how artists are doing now, and compare their situation to five years ago. While the survey has retained many of the important questions regarding demographics and finances, the extended section on career benchmarks has been excised to streamline data collection.

For those that have already participated in the survey:Our great thanks. We appreciateBirmingham.

Home of America’s First Veterans Day.

Although World War I officially ended with the Treaty of Versailles, fighting ceased seven months earlier after an armistice between the allied nations and Germany commenced on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day.

Armistice Day was set aside to honor veterans of World War I. But after World War II required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen in the nation’s history, a World War II veteran from Birmingham named Raymond Weeks had an idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans. In 1947 he led a delegation to Washington, D.C. to urge then-Army Chief of Staff General Dwight Eisenhower to


create a national holiday that honored all veterans. In 1954, President Eisenhower signed legislation establishing November 11th as Veterans Day.

President Reagan honored Weeks as the driving force for the national holiday with the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 at the White House. Weeks led the first National Veterans Day Parade in 1947 in Alabama, and he continued the tradition until his passing in 1985.

use the phone.  Sonia described Appellant as a 45-year-old Hispanic male weighing
approximately 180 pounds, with  short black hair and last seen wearing a jean shirt, jeans, and a
black cowboy hat.  At trial, the 911 operator testified Sonia sounded scared and feared her husband
was still outside and “going to get her.”  The operator entered all this information into the Computer
Aided Dispatch (CAD), a system which allows officers to view the information from the computers
in their vehicles.  The audio recording and a transcript of the 911 call were admitted into evidence.
            Officers were then dispatched to the location on a family disturbance call.  Officer Chavez
was the first on the scene and he proceeded to Maria Fonseca’s apartment, where the 911 call had
originated.  Hethey established that Appellant
was not inside.  At this point, Officer Ojeda waited outside while Officer Chavez remained with the
victim and continued to question her about the events which led to the 911 call.  During that time,
Sonia broke down and cried again.  Appellant had torn off her clothes and raped her in the bedroom.
Officer Chavez noticed that her arms and neck were bruised.  Sonia described how Appellant had
grabbed her and bitten her.  She felt pain and soreness in her buttocks and was having trouble
walking and sitting down.
            Sonia provided Officer Chavez with a description of her husband and his vehicle.  Chavez
relayed the information to Officer Ojeda who left the apartment complex to search for Appellant.
The information included the make, model, and color


informed him he was under arrest for
sexual assault.  He read Appellant his rights and transported him to the Crimes Against Persons
office (CAP).
            Meanwhile, Officer Chavez accompanied Sonia to Sierra Medical Center where she was
admitted for a rape analysis exam.  Stacey Adams, the attending nurse, testified that Sonia reported
Appellant had “repeatedly had sex with her against her will.”  Sonia had also reported that her
husband accused her of cheating and, when she denied it, he forced himself on her both anally and
vaginally multiple times throughout the night.
            After Officer Ojeda escorted Appellant to the CAP office, Detective Chavarria sent him to
relieve Chavez at the hospital.  Chavez then returned to the station to give his statement.  Detective
Chavarria informed Appellant of his Miranda rights for the secondtime and obtained his confession.
Appellant’s confession was conducted completely in Spanish.
            In his confession, Appellant admitted to both the anal and vaginal rape of his wife.  He
described in detail the events of the two proceeding days.  He admitted throwing his wife into a
bedroom, forcibly removing her clothes, aggressively telling her to lay down on the bed, and
penetrating her anally and vaginally.  She was very scared and did not want to engage in sex.  He
knew he was hurting her but that he did it anyway because he was angry.  Appellant also described
a conversation whereby Sonia repeatedly told him she wanted him to let her go.  He became enraged
and decided to have sex with her “for the last time.”

So the EPA will soon revoke Mora Mutual's permit to discharge into the river, leaving Aragon with two choices: Build a new treatment plant a half-mile from the river that would treat wastewater less stringently than the EPA requires and let it percolate into Mora's groundwater -- the community's only source of drinking water -- or abandon his subscribers to septic tanks. "There's no law that says we have to have a sewer service," he says.

James Bearzi, the New Mexico Environment Department's chief of surface water quality, calls that second option an "outrageous proposition," one that "would dramatically increase the total amount of contamination in the Mora River Valley."

But Aragon feels increasingly pushed in that direction. In mid-October, the EPA sent him a letter


warning that he was about to incur fines of $5,400 per day because he hasn't fixed his lagoons. Never mind that the state told him several years ago to cease work on that upgrade because the lagoons could never meet the new permit's terms.

Aragon wrote back, reminding the EPA of Mora Mutual's history. But the threat compounded his frustration. "The people who formed this association did so because they cared about the community's health and safety," he says. "Now it's turned into something we can't afford."

Mora Mutual's predicament echoes thousands in the rural West: small, community-run drinking water and sewer associations entangled in state and federal water-quality laws whose terms they can't afford to meet. Even as environmental groups were suing the EPA over water in New Mexico,with a TMDL for nutrients in a rural area, it becomes a problem for whatever wastewater treatment plants are in that watershed. Ten thousand dollars might as well be $10 million to them."

TMDLs have yielded unqualified successes. In California's Los Angeles County, for example, they've inspired laws requiring buildings to retain rainfall and inland cities to install screens to catch trash in storm drains. That's in part because the Legislature went after scattered, or "nonpoint," pollution sources, holding whole communities accountable for what runs off of their streets. "California has done an excellent job of regulating nonpoint sources of pollution," says Alexis Strauss, who oversees the water programs for the EPA's Pacific Southwest region.

Then again, Los Angeles is a urban area, with millions of people to share costs


and hundreds of participants to hammer out agreements. When the TMDL for trash in the Los Angeles River was set at an unattainable zero, regulators agreed that simply installing catch screens was good enough. "It was the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law," says Joyce Neal Amaro, public education coordinator for the City of Los Angeles' stormwater program. "And we're seeing water quality improve."

Still, in rural California, state water authorities continue to exempt certain agricultural producers from TMDLs; California's latest water inventory, submitted to the EPA in early October, shows that more than half the state's bodies of water fall short of "water quality goals." Many rivers and wetlands suffer from the same nonpoint source pollution that afflicts nearly every state's waters: agricultural runoff.

FAITHLESS               music cometh,
Sweeter than the notes around him,
On the distance flowing sweetly.
Soon the strains come nearer, clearer,
And he wonders why the music.
'Whence these songs of mirth and gladness?'
Asketh thus his angel escort.
'Where and whence these sounds melodious?
Whose are all these festive voices?
What the cause of such rejoicing?'
And the spirits answer thuswise:
'These are bands of angels singing
In the happy land of Blessing,
In the lofty halls of gladness.
Seraphs from their golden harps draw
Notes to swell the songs of gladness.
These are songs of glad rejoicings
For another pilgrim nearing,--
One escaped the land of bondage.
This the source of these rejoicings.'
Ere this answer hath been spoken,
Lo! before them rise the portals
Of the holy land of Blessing.
This the city he hath heard of
In such sweet and wondrous stories,
Whence he longed in patient waiting
To arrive at, now


succour;
Every heart in very terror
Quailing at the rising future.
But these cries cannot be answered;
They have sought too late for succour;
For the gates are closed upon them,
And the victors have their spirits,
Bearing to their princely Sero,
And their bodies are consigned
To the halls of mighty Neptune.
Then did Sero take the spirits
As the mission brought them to him;
And for every one which entered
By the wicket on his right hand,
Leading to the land of gladness,
Seven by the other entered,
Down into the pit of terrors.

     Stood a fair and stately dwelling
In the concourse of the people,
Of the lofty of the people;
Looked it on the smaller buildings
Downward in a scornful manner;
Proud was it of fine appearance,
Proud the people who dwelt in it.
There the arts of every nation
Met with the unitedand bitter;
And they heap the mould upon it,
And return a little season,
Till the time for their departure:
Soon in death they also slumber.
Let us always keep as sacred
This still dwelling of our fathers,
Whereto oft the lonely mourner,
Oft the orphan and the widow,
Come to weep a tear of sorrow
On the cold ground which enshrineth
The remains of dear ones parted
Ever from their earthly presence.
     Now we leave the crowded city,
With its mingled good and evil,
With its noise, and din, and bustle,
And the roll of laden waggon,
And the mail cart, and the black van;
And we pass a little onward,
Down beside the pleasant river,
To the fields of war and bloodshed,
Where destruction's storm is raging,
Where the valiant and the brave men
All around are thickly falling--
Falling as the leaves of Autumn,
Trampled


to say, "He lives!
He lives!"  The song of praise is heard ascend,
Raised to the heavenly throne, in one to blend
With angels' song, from many a cottage rung,
Where on this day the father with his young
Sits down in peace; while, in the pine grove down
The rural glen, a myriad voices crown
The clear-tuned solo of the warbling thrush,
Or oft in chorus to a duet flush,
Sung with the full-piped blackbird of the wood,
Their notes are joined.  The aspect and the mood
Of everything is changed, as wont on day
Of toil the crowded city moves to lay
The bands of slumber for a time away,
But brings not out the bustle and the din
Which is her weekday aspect; and within
Her walls a stilly peace prevails; the roar
And noise of lumbering waggon comes nohappy thought
     Of boyish days!
Can hope no more arise?
Can I no more surmise
That they will come again?
     All happy sport!
     All sweet resort
     To merry games,
To which, with spirit light,
I often did unite
In free and boy-like glee!
     The welcome call
     To bat and ball
     I used to hear
With that intense delight,
So free, and pure, and bright,
Which only boys can know.
     The merry gambols
     And country rambles
     I loved to join,
With admiration high,
To which no fear was nigh.
Are they for ever gone?
     Yes, they are


an incredibly special way to end my best year yet. I'm grateful for all the amazing people in my life! A post shared by Jay Harbaugh (@jayharbaugh) on Jun 15, 2017 at 6:37pm PDT

Jay serves as the Wolverines’ running backs coach. It may be surprising that Harbaugh and the Obamas have linked up, but the head coach has a previous relationship with the former first couple. Harbaugh was invited to the Obamas’ farewell party in January, where he also hung out with Usher.

Kaskie, Proffitt and Vasconcelos drafted by Red Stars

CHICAGO – The Red Stars have added a great amount of depth to their roster with three solid draft picks in the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft, selecting Brigham Young University forward Michele Vasconcelos, Marquette defender Morgan Proffitt and UCLA midfielder Lauren Kaskie.

Chicago entered the day with five picks, but ended the day with three picks after strong strategic draft-day trades that will benefit the club in the 2018 NWSL College Draft. The Red Stars gained the 11th overall pick in the draft from Boston in exchange for the Red Stars 2018 second-round draft pick and an international slot for the 2018 season. Later in the same round, Chicago traded their


Donald Trump is radically reshaping the same federal courts that have been the biggest bulwark against his agenda – by picking mostly white, conservative men

Donald Trump has sustained more than his fair share of political losses during the first 10 months of his presidency, mostly at the hands of the federal courts.

It was the federal courts that struck down his “Muslim travel ban” on three separate occasions, that blocked his ban on trans people in the military and that did the same to his attempt to defund so-called sanctuary cities.

But the makeup of America’s judges is quietly becoming the site of one of Trump’s most unequivocal successes: nominating and installing judges who reflect his own worldview at a speed and volume unseen in recent memory. Trump could conceivablyCategory: Economy

"The LNG Boss" Special adviser

The top staffer in the premier's office is a former 27-year civil servant who helped the premier kickstart her most important file: liquefied natural gas.

An economist by training, Steve Carr spent years as deputy minister of LNG, growing what's become the core of the premier's jobs plan. He created the new LNG tax regime and led negotiations with large LNG companies (though none have made final investment decisions). The importance of the file led to close work with Clark, both within B.C. and on overseas trade trips. When Carr, 56, announced his intent to retire last year (i.e. 2015), Clark asked him to instead lead her staff. Don't let his title of special adviser fool you.


Carr has all the powers of her chief of staff, overseeing political employees in the building and making sure virtually every file of importance to government is aligned with the premier's priorities. It's the second time Clark has turned to an experienced, non-partisan civil servant to take on the hyper-partisan role of running her office. Carr's predecessor, Dan Doyle, spent 50 years working for the government and was known for his calm demeanour and problem-solving skills. Carr appears a similar choice...

There are conflicting reports coming out of Egypt and Libya tonight on the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the consulate in Benghazi.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, drawing upon reports from Reuters and AFP, stated one U.S. official was killed and a second injured in the attack on the Benghazi consulate,while the Washington Post, citing the Associated Press, reported that no one was inside the Benghazi consulate when the attack occurred.

The protests, coming on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 bombings, are being described in most press accounts as being driven by religious fervor. The New York Times reported:

The protest was a result of outrage over a movie being promoted by an anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States, clips of which


are available on YouTube and dubbed in Egyptian Arabic. The video depicts Muhammad as a fraud, and shows him having sex and calling for massacres. Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad at all, much less in an insulting way.

And the ABC noted:

Reports suggest both incidents were sparked by anger over a film which was produced by expatriate members of Egypt’s Christian minority resident in the United States.

A dozen men scaled the embassy walls and one of them tore down the US flag, replacing it with a black one inscribed with the Muslim profession of faith: “There is no God but God and Mohammed is the prophet of God.”

The New York Times added a bit of context about this black flag, stating: “The flag, similar to Al Qaeda’sbanner, is popular with ultraconservatives around the region.”

Religion, then would seem to be one of the forces driving the attack — though some Egyptian Christians with whom I was in contact via email today suggested the attacks were driven by Egyptian domestic political considerations. Their argument was that the Salafist parties — the hardline Islamist groups that are junior coalition partners with the Muslim Brotherhood government — are seeking to incite the “Arab Street” to pressure the government to adopt a stricter Sharia law-based government. Religion, this line of thinking believes, is a tool for political ends.

I have no knowledge as to the truth of these assertions, but the first day reports out of the Middle East have noted the religious and political nature of the protests.

The Washington


their efforts to control freedom of speech and press with regard to anything negative –even if possibly historically true– about Mohammed. This can be seen in the groveling American first response to the threats and violence directed against American embassies. It can also be seen in what appears to be censored, careful coverage of the story in the American mainstream media including leaving out even the name of the film in question. In the meanwhile the on-going negative treatment of Christ, Christianity, and God by some elements in our country–from the Democratic Party Convention to some of the media’s cheerleading for it— “courageously” moves forward.

According to wikipedia the film is called “Innocence of Muslims”. From what I have read so far the claim that the filmSunni Islam? I’ve seen images of Mohammad from Turkish and South Asian sources, which (I believe) would be Sunni.

Now, that will probably anger folks who cheer for the New England Patriots or the Green Bay Packers, who have combined to win six Super Bowls since the Cowboys last won a championship.

Pittsburgh Steelers fans will point to their collection of Super Bowl rings -- when not waving their Terrible Towels -- and stake their claim to the title of the NFL's most popular team.

None of that matters. The TV executives have spoken, which is the truest test of who America wants to watch.

Those Cowboys were trying to win a title before Romo, their then 34-year-old quarterback, succumbed to Father Time because his replacement wasn't on their roster.

There was a desperation to their quest because owner Jerry Jones had moved into his 70s and the questions about when his son, Stephen Jones, would take a larger role became more frequent.

I wish I'd seen Deadwood before I went to Baku. Maybe another day I'll write a post on how watching the Godfather taught me all I needed to know about clan politics in Azerbaijan -- Carpetblogger, March 2007

Apparently, according to the Wikileaks, the former US DCM in Baku compared Ilham Aliyev to Michael/Sonny Corleone in the Godfather in a cable in September 2009. This has gotten a lot of play! Because it is true! We said it a long time ago! Must credit Carpetblog!

But it's more true that living in Baku is just like living in Deadwood, a boomtown inwide audience in Foggy Bottom.

SPEYSIDE-- Scottish whisky producers reacted switfly to news that Azerbaijan, known primarily as the oasis between Iran and Chechnya, plans to begin distributing locally-produced whisky from the famed Tovuz-Baltiya distillery.

Presently, Tovuz-Baltiya is known primarily for its cognacs, which have been described by local experts as "the best in Ganja-Qazakh."

"We know that Muslims in general are known for the quality of their alcoholic beverages, and Azerbaijan, in particular, is noted for the "Seven Beauties" and "Karavansary" wine labels," said Scottish whisky spokesman William MacDougal. "We view this as a serious threat to our market share."

in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence reveals that on September 23, 2002, Hudson stabbed her husband in the chest with a butcher knife after her husband accused her of having an affair. Hudson called 911, and when a police officer arrived at the scene, Hudson admitted to the officer that she had stabbed her husband. She claimed, however, that she did not mean for the knife to go so far into her husband's body and that the stabbing had occurred by accident. Despite this contention, Hudson later admitted at trial that she tried to force her husband back with the knife when she felt the knife penetrate his body. Hudson's husband was not breathing and showed no signs of life when the paramedics arrivedacquitted of malice murder. On October 28, 2003, Hudson was sentenced to life imprisonment for felony murder and five consecutive years for possession of a knife during the commission of a crime. Hudson filed a motion for new trial on November 26, 2003, which she amended on November 5, 2007. The trial court denied Hudson's motion for new trial on November 28, 2007. Hudson's appeal was docketed in this Court on May 1, 2008, and submitted for decision on the briefs.

Depending on the route he takes, David's walk will end up being somewhere in the region of 108 to 120 miles over five days. Speaking about why he is doing it, he explained:

"I, like many others, have had close friends and family whose lives have been turned upside down as a result of poor mental health and I wanted to raise funds to deliver a project to support similar people in need.

"The aim is also to raise awareness, so over the five day trek I will be visiting all of the EFL Football Clubs in Lancashire, in the hope that the football community will back the cause.

"To replicate the loneliness that many with mental health problems face, I will largely be doing this alone and camping in thegreat outdoors en route.

"In the 50 days leading up to the event, I have clocked up around 500 training miles to prepare my legs, which is hopefully due a donation in itself!"

David's outline route is likely to consist of the following daily walks (with the clubs he visits in bold)...

Monday: Ewood Park to Clitheroe via Accrington Stanley and Burnley

Tuesday: Clitheroe to Forest of Bowland

Wednesday: Forest of Bowland to Garstang via Morecambe

Thursday: Garstang to Fylde coast via Fleetwood Town and Blackpool

Blind Teen May Play For USC Football Team He Inspired in 2009 At 12, Jake Olson watched USC football games before losing his eyes to cancer.

 -- When faced with losing his second eye to cancer at the age of 12, Jake Olson wanted to watch his last University of Southern California Trojans football game in person and take it all in. He got his wish and met the team.

Now a high school senior and totally blind, he may play for them.

The California teen was diagnosed with retinoblastoma when he was 1 and lost one of his eyes, ABC News reported. Although the cancer came back eight times, he was able to beat it until he was 12 in 2009. That year, doctors told him he would losethe other eye.

Though the thought of being totally blind scared him, Olson's one wish was to see the Trojans play one last time.

"I want to take in as much as I can," he told ABC News at the time.

USC head football coach Pete Carroll heard about it and invited Olson to practice.

"I got to sit next to Pete Carroll on the bus, which was awesome. I got to see them practice, which was awesome," Olson said. "I got to go into the locker room and everyone was partying. It was just awesome."

On the eve of his surgery, he was on the USC football field with the team. Carroll told him they loved him, and wanted to see him after he recovered. The next day, the Olsons sneaked his


favorite player, Kris O'Dowd, into the hospital to wish him well.

"The nurse came in and gave him his IV and that's when Jake just broke down, just emotionally broke down and his parents broke down. I broke down," O'Dowd said. "I went up and gave him a kiss on the head and just told him, 'You're the strongest kid I've ever known and keep being who you are and everything will work out.'"

He was right.

Olson went on to write a book, "Open Your Eyes to a Happier Life," and even got to play on his high school football team at Lutheran High School of Orange County.

"I was going to have to give up that dream of playing on the field," he told ABC News last fall. "It wassomething that being blind you couldn't do."

But the coach and the rest of the team worked with Olson to figure out how he could snap the ball. Olson's teammates clap and tap his leg to guide him.

"My heart pounds twice as fast every time," Olson said.

This fall, he's headed to USC on a full scholarship through Swim with Mike, which was founded at USC 35 years ago to help send disabled athletes to school. He's one of 60 students to get a Swim with Mike Scholarship this year, 12 of whom will go to USC, Swim with Mike founder Ron Orr told ABC News.

Orr said Olson was at the annual recruitment dinner in February, and after all the new players were announced, the Trojans' new head coach said


there was "one more Trojan." It was Olson, who isn't an official member of the team yet, but Orr said the coach hopes to work with the NCAA to allow him to snap the ball soon.

"It was quite a moment," Orr said. "Jake Olson got up there with his dog and brought the house down."Study and application of herbal disinfectants in China.

NEW YORK—Iran is fighting back against Washington's denial of a visa to its new United Nations ambassador, demanding that the U.N. reverse the U.S. decision.

The U.S. has repeatedly insisted that Iran's appointment of Hamid Aboutalebi is unacceptable because he is tied to the 1979 hostage crisis when 52 American diplomats were held in Tehran.

An orange shirt saying "inmate" is thrown by a protester at former Donald Trump presidential campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, right, who triggered the Russia investigation, and who pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the FBI, as he holds hands with his wife Simona Mangiante on arrival at federal court for sentencing, Friday, Sept. 7, 2018, in Washington.


That probe was later taken over by Mueller.

According to a sweeping indictment handed up this summer, Russian intelligence had stolen emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other Democratic groups by April 2016, the same month Papadopoulos was told by a professor that Russian officials had told him they had “dirt” on Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.”

Papadopoulos later used his connections with the Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud, and other Russian nationals in an attempt to broker a meeting between then-candidate Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He admitted last year to lying to the FBI about those contacts with Russians and Russian intermediaries, false statements that prosecutors say caused irreparable harm to the investigation during its early months.

‘Shrek the Musical’ comes to the Victoria

When a friend originally suggested he try out for the road company of “Shrek The Musical,” the Wright State graduate headed for the open auditions in New York. After competing against hundreds of other acting hopefuls, he landed the leading role of Donkey.

Gaston, who initially appeared in the international version of the family musical, is now touring America with the cast that comes to the Victoria Theatre Jan. 15-27 . The show, which opened on Broadway in 2008 with 19 all-new musical numbers, is based on the 2001 Oscar-winning Dream Works film.

Thump...Thump...Thump...Thump

The pounding of the All Terrain Open Transports was a continuing chorus. Each thump sent snow into the air, as they made their way through the remains of the Separatists defenses. Mere hours ago, 100 Galactic Marine Shock Troopers had assaulted this bunker. None of them remained, killed by the blast of the bomb that had been planted in advance by CIS forces.

16-year-old, Jedi Padawan Zana Jabrinth could still feel the left over shock and fear from the recent battle. She hugged her knees as she sat on the floor of the open transport, shutting her eyes and whispering comfort to the dead soldiers. She could remember talking to this particular squad: Kalfa Assault Group. They were all laughs then,
