OPINION: What is Australia playing at?

Last year, when a raft of intelligence leaks across the ditch revealed the darker side of some asylum seekers detained in offshore processing centres, the motivation behind them was pretty plain to see.

They seemed pointedly aimed at undermining Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's amped-up stance on offering to take up to 150 refugees off Australia's hands.

DOMINION-POST Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has told media that boats bound for New Zealand have been turned around by Australian authorities.

Hers was the continuation of an offer first extended by Sir John Key, but it came with an extra dose of criticism and moral posturing


over Australia's treatment of would-be refugees seeking to arrive by boat.

And it riled the Aussies up like nobody's business. How dare this newcomer (who, while in Opposition, had already butted heads with the Australian Foreign Minister), preach on a problem New Zealand has no practical knowledge of.

HARRISON CHRISTIAN/STUFF Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern met Australian Labor leader Bill Shorten in December last year. His party is in pole position as Australia heads into an election year. Are there plans to attempt to tar him withbut there may also be some domestic political gains in undermining her stance through a series of intelligence leaks on asylum seekers.

There's logic to it - but intelligence "chatter" from people-smuggling crime syndicates in the culprit countries have, for a long time, often referred to New Zealand as a potential destination, and changes of Government in general are bound to increase such covert conversations.

It's hard to prove beyond all doubt, and therefore hard to claim as such. Ardern herself, had a strong set of comments on the issue: such conversations amongst smugglers were not new.

"Chatter amongst people smugglers has ebbed and flowed for many, many years. Keeping in mind of course that Tampa was over 15 years ago," she said.

F&M Alum Rouse Recalls Role in Creating the Modern Presidency

A Franklin & Marshall College alumnus came to campus Jan. 29 to discuss the important role he played in helping to create five federal agencies that for more than 40 years have shaped the policies of presidents and directed the course of the nation.

Andrew M. Rouse, Class of 1949, recalled how he and his colleagues reorganized the federal government during Richard M. Nixon's administration at a Nixon Legacy Forum, "Creation of the Modern Presidency," in the Schnader Theatre of F&M's Roschel Performing Arts Center.

"Andy was in it from the beginning," said Geoff Shepard, former associate director for general government of the Domestic Council in Nixon's administration. Shepard interviewed Rouse during the forum for a future broadcast on C-SPAN. "Whatwe have is [limited to] his institutional knowledge and the documents [in the Nixon Library]."

In introducing Rouse and Shepard, F&M President Daniel R. Porterfield said, "It has been said that, 'It is leaders that have made history, and not history that has made leaders.' Real people, like Andy Rouse and Richard Nixon, are the ones who make the decisions, take the risks, and develop the innovations that we later study as history."

Between 1969 and 1970, Rouse guided the reorganization


as executive director of the President's Advisory Council on Executive Reorganization, more commonly known as the Ash Council. It was named for its chair, Roy Ash, a successful California businessman who would later head one of the new agencies created, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The other four agencies were the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Domestic Council, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Office of Telecommunications Policy. All five agencies play critical roles in making policies and regulations that affect Americans' daily lives.

Until the Ash Council, Shepard said federal agencies had not been reorganized since 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt reshuffled agencies in the wake of the many New Deal programs created during the Depression.

Rouse, who worked in the former Bureau ofsometimes it was petty," Rouse said. "I remember a petty one that was over the spelling of "ensure." Some insisted it was e-n-s-u-r-e, and others insisted that it was i-n-s-u-r-e."

Among the members of the Ash Council was John Connally, former Democratic governor of Texas who would later become Nixon's treasury secretary and change his party affiliation to Republican.

After a meeting at Nixon's California home in San Clemente, Rouse said, the president took the governor aside for about 15 minutes. "Connally did not tell anyone what the meeting was about until many months later," Rouse said.

The meeting, Connally later


told Rouse over lunch in the White House Mess hall, was about politics, not restructuring the government. Connally was a conservative Democrat, and Nixon, concerned about the GOP's future in a solidly Democratic South, wanted Connally's help.

Rouse is an F&M emeritus trustee and sponsor of F&M's prestigious Rouse Scholarship, awarded to students who have demonstrated unusual leadership while achieving academic excellence. He was greeted after the event by alumnus Carra Kramer, a 2012 graduate of F&M and a Rouse Scholar.

"It's always interesting to take an opportunity to learn a little more about him and what he was involved in," said Kramer, who is assistant director of annual giving for F&M. "We hear the names of those agencies every day, and we don't know the people behind forming them."(Newser) – Jimmy Carter has already lived longer after leaving office than any other president—more than 38 years. And on Friday, he'll be 94 years and 172 days old, the Journal Constitution reports, passing the record set by George HW Bush as the oldest living former president. Carter has kept busy since leaving office at age 56: He's written more than two dozen books, built Habitat for Humanity houses, won a Nobel Peace Prize, and established the Carter Center in Atlanta. Asked about their longevity, a Carter Center spokesperson told CNN that the former president and his wife, Rosalynn, 91, "take walks, and they have followed a healthy diet for a lifetime." They have no plans to stop their work, she said: "President and Mrs. Carter are both

The AAAHC develops standards for health care providers to meet in order to promote patient safety and quality through peer-based accreditation processes, according to its website.

Health Services is in the middle of the three-year process, which started in 2009 and is expected to be complete by 2012, Mead said.

During the first half of the process, Health Services personnel analyzed current performance, Sutter said.

The second half will be dedicated to meeting each of the core standards of the AAAHC, Sutter said.

By December, Health Services hopes to be compliant to all eight standards, including rights of patients, government, administration, quality of care, quality management and improvement, clinical records and health info, infection prevention and controlrugby after-match function at Kings College. At the time Ngaro was a board of trustees member. He later entered Parliament in 2011 as an Auckland-based list MP. Kings College officials had asked if anyone objected to a prayer or karakia being said before they ate. Roy said he did not take part due to his atheism but rather looked around the room as everyone else bowed their head. Ngaro, whose son was in the Tamaki First XV, came up to him and got “right in my face” after the prayer, Roy told the ERA hearing, eyeballing him just a few centimetres from his face. Representatives from Kings College saw the behaviour and asked after his well-being, and if he wanted security guards present, Roy said. As he went


to leave he was confronted outside by Ngaro, who lashed out at him, punching him on the back of his head. Members of the First XV broke up the fight, Roy told the hearing. As he was driving some of the boys home, they told him he was bleeding from the back of his head.

Ngaro denies any wrongdoing.

Roy also added in his claim that he was punished for not attending a pōwhiri ceremony at the school in 2010. Principal Soana Pamaka said attendance was mandatory, and the event wasn’t religious at all, though Roy said the ceremony had “numerous references to Christianity.”

It’s possible this whole claim could be thrown out because it happened so long ago and Roy didn’t take action until recently. Furthermore, Roy signed a settlementOpen world – Switzerland open to the world

Globalisation – the worldwide exchange of production factors, goods, technologies and ideas – is a process that has evolved in different ways and degrees ever since humankind can remember. Technological progress is the actual driving force behind globalisation. It thus becomes possible to reduce costs through increasing specialisation and the best use of comparative advantages. The process of globalisation, however, is restricted to some extent by national and international legal frameworks. Despite overall positive and widespread net effects, globalisation is, however, frequently not accepted due to adjustment costs arising for protected sectors.

With its successful export sector and its comparatively attractive local conditions, particularly the excellent infrastructure and the flexible labour market, Switzerland has the potential

River was arrested for the murder of "a great man; the greatest man". Knowing River, I think we all immediately figured out that she was arrested

 for murdering The Doctor at Lake Silencio.

We also know that

 The Doctor isn't actually going to die during the course of the show,

so clearly she didn't actually do what she was accused of.
The reason she went to prison anyway was to maintain the illusion that her victim was actually dead.

 By the time that Wedding happened, The Doctor had realized (through events like Demon's Run, etc.) that he had gotten too "noisy" and made too many people angry. So he decided to go into hiding, and


River plays along by taking the fall for murdering him, even though she didn't. Everyone has to think he is dead, so she cannot use his still-being-alive as a defense against his murder.

She stays in prison for that murder for a long time, which she accepts because The Doctor routinely comes along to break her out of prison again.
When we later saw her in Manhatten, she tells The Doctor that she had "been pardoned", meaning she was definitely in prison for something, but wasn't any longer. Note that she doesn't say she has served her time, nor been paroled, meaning somewhere along the line the truth must have come out, but I don't know when/how that happened.

Though the city is in trouble, and is sick, it still dances and claws in its fight to make it over.

A Chicago woman was killed Thursday after a piece of facade fell off a church in the South Loop neighborhood, police said.

The woman, identified by family members as 34-year-old Sara Bean, was walking in the 1900 block of South Michigan Avenue with her fiance around noon when a piece of masonry fell from the Second Presbyterian Church and struck her, police said.

Witnesses told NBC 5 a brick fell from the top of the building and struck the woman in the head.

"I just see something come down, and I look closely and I just see the lady fall down, really falls down, and the guy just starts yelling hysterically like something was really going on," witness Broderick Adams said.

Bean was transported in critical condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital whereshe was pronounced dead.

The victim's family said Bean was the mother of two young boys, ages 10 and 14, and was going to get married soon. She lived across from the church and worked at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

"I can honestly say a good person, a genuinely great person," the victim's brother, Michael Willis, said. "Anybody could depend on her, she was very dependable, very loved, and we're gonna miss her."

Mimi Simon, spokesperson for the City of Chicago Department of Buildings, said city building inspectors responded to the scene Thursday.

"As assessment determined that a corner of one of the metal decorative pieces on the exterior of the building gave way," Simon said in a statement. "When it fell, it struck the gargoyle on


the southeast corner of the steeple, causing a portion of the gargoyle to fall, striking the victim."

Simon said the Department of Buildings has no record of 311 complaints on the building, and said it was last in contact with the property for an inspection on Oct. 30, 2013.

Buildings Department records show the church failed a series of inspections from 2007 to 2011.

In 2011, the church was cited for five violations, including failing to "maintain the exterior walls of the building or structure free from holes, breaks, loose or rotting boards or timbers and any other condition which might admit rain or dampness to the walls," records show.

The church did pass an "assembly/amusement annual inspection" in 2012.

"The building wasn't structurally sounds because they failed inspections before," Willis said. "Itcould have been prevented." Workers were seen putting up scaffolding around the church Thursday night.

The church, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was where Mary Todd Lincoln and Marshall Field worshipped.

(CNN)President Donald Trump departs for a 17-day "working vacation" at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Friday, and while he's gone, the White House is getting some TLC.

Just like an episode of HGTV's "Fixer Upper," the minute Trump leaves, workers will begin around-the-clock renovations to the West Wing, including structural repairs to address a ceiling leak, HVAC work and repairs to the South Portico steps on the South Lawn. Additionally, renovations to the Navy Mess kitchen, the West Wing lower lobby, the IT system and generic cosmetic upgrades including fresh paint, carpet and curtains will be completed before his return later this month.

A White House official confirms the East Wing will also undergo infrastructural improvements.

All of the upcoming improvements were approved during the Obama administration


following an initial round of renovations.

Around the White House grounds, there were early signs of the upcoming work on Friday. A dozen PODS storage units lined the West Executive Drive between the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building -- starting Friday afternoon, since practically everything in the West Wing will be loaded into storage. A West Wing hallway normally filled with framed photographs of the administration was eerily empty, save for several nails in the wall. Boxes were set outside press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office.

The President denied earlierthis week that he called the White House "a real dump" after he was quoted saying so to several members and staffers at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey in a Sports Illustrated article.

Trump tweeted: "I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen. But Fake News said I called it a dump - TOTALLY UNTRUE."

I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen. But Fake News said I called it a dump - TOTALLY UNTRUE

But another White House official later clarified to CNN that the while the President enjoys the White House residence, he has often remarked on the poor condition the West Wing is in.

He has a point: The West


Wing is in need of some upkeep.

And while the President has lamented information leaks coming from his West Wing, there are also actual leaks there. After flash-flooding in the greater Washington area last week, the ceilings dripped in three separate spots in the Lower Press area, emitting a "foul odor," per one witness. Staffers moved multiple trash cans to catch the dripping.

Although the HVAC systems are 27 years old, they are constantly running.

"Due to the 24/7, 365-day use a year, the estimated age of the system based off of usage is 81 years old," deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday.

The South Portico steps haven't been restored in 64 years, Walters added.

The Oval Office also has a persistent common house fly problem,a distraction during key meetings with senior officials. There are bug zappers in the West Wing to combat the chronic issue, which has not gone away.

And an empty West Wing makes technological improvements much less disruptive -- just ask David Recordon, the director of White House IT in the Obama White House.

"During the last summer vacation @BarackObama took, we replaced hundreds of phones throughout the house. Another before, we deployed Wi-Fi :)" Recordon tweeted.

Besides the small group of aides traveling to New Jersey with the President, West Wing staffers won't take a vacation themselves while the renovations are completed: they're just moving next door to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

"All of us in lower press will miss seeing you guys every day, but we're definitely looking forward to


JFK death news sent 'wave of grief' around world

RUNNYMEDE, England — There is a quiet and somber feel to this small piece of America on an English hillside, near where the Magna Carta was signed eight centuries ago.

Only a trickle of visitors come to the John F. Kennedy Memorial, located on about a half-hectare (an acre) of land given to the people of the United States by Queen Elizabeth II in an unprecedented act of British affection for the fallen president.

Here, near the Thames River meadow where the founding charter of civil liberties was signed in 1215, the queen came to dedicate the austere monument to a president killed 1½ years previously.

Accompanied by Kennedy's widow, his two children and two surviving brothers, the queen spoke of "theunprecedented intensity of that wave of grief, mixed with something akin to despair, which swept over our people at the news of President Kennedy's assassination."

She spoke for the multitudes. Much of the world learned of Kennedy's death within minutes, and 50 years later it still feels the loss.

___

Across six continents, in sports grounds, statues, scholarships, streets, hospitals, bridges, parks and schools, the name of John F. Kennedy is preserved in perpetuity, nowhere more keenly than in the hearts and minds of the Irish.

There he is widely recognized as the nation's most famous son, whose great-grandfather Patrick emigrated to Boston in 1848 from a 14-hectare (35-acre) farm near the River Barrow in Dunganstown, County Wexford.

That farm in Ireland's southeast corner has become a focal point for tens of thousands


of JFK pilgrims annually since June 1963, when Kennedy visited his ancestral homeland. His four-day tour inspired unparalleled excitement in a then-impoverished land that had never before seen an American president.

In the nearby town of New Ross, a bronze podium bearing microphones and the presidential seal marks the riverside spot where Kennedy spoke. A flame taken from his burial plot in Arlington Cemetery burns at the center of a globe-shaped sculpture dedicated to Ireland's emigrants.

Carmel Delaney, a New Ross native, was 11, singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with a crowd of Catholic schoolgirls when JFK's helicopter landed.

"We wouldn't have seen a helicopter before. That was something fabulous altogether," she said. "We knew he was somebody extremely important. We knew he was a god."

The day after Kennedy's funeral, Ireland observeda national day of mourning. Tens of thousands queued to sign the U.S. Embassy's condolence book, and businesses closed so employees could attend Masses in JFK's memory.

Jacqueline Kennedy gave the president's Irish relatives the rosary he had in his jacket when he died. It is on display at the Kennedy Homestead.

At the homestead, JFK's closest living relative in Ireland, fourth cousin Patrick Grennan, says the family is planning no special occasion for the 50th anniversary.

"We Kennedys choose to commemorate life, not death," Grennan, 38, said while showing a visitor around the homestead. "We celebrate the triumph of his visit to Ireland, his inspirational words. We try not to dwell on the horror of what happened later."

"I put on the radio, and just at that moment there was a


chilling report informing us that the president had been assassinated in Dallas," Fidel Castro wrote in a recent newspaper column. The usually voluble former president of Cuba recalled being struck dumb. "For all intents and purposes there was nothing that we could talk about."

In Cuba, Kennedy was reviled for authorizing the Bay of Pigs invasion and perceived as bellicose during the missile crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

"Every Cuban felt like that president was attacking us. You couldn't have the slightest good will for him," said Manuel Rodriguez, a 74-year-old former bank employee and militia member who was mobilized during the Bay of Pigs attack and the missile crisis.

He remembers that Kennedy's assassination shocked Cuba and provoked fears that new tensions would roilrebound to a wide-open Lee Stempniak, and the resulting goal sent the din to new heights. It was loud and painful and hard to think, like a Michael Bay movie was unfolding in your head.

It wouldn’t last. The Anaheim Ducks would tie late in the first, and then go ahead in the second, before the Jets would roar back with two goals of their own in the period, from Tyler Myers and Blake Wheeler. The teams would trade two more goals in the period. Again and again, the building would roar to life, and shake and groan. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was among those in attendance, and he said that on this night, there was “no place he would rather be.” Winnipeg proved him right.


Harriet Tubman’s Great Raid

It is arguably the most beautiful scene ever recorded in war. Two Union gunboats, the Harriet A. Weed and the John Adams, converted ferryboats, churning up the Combahee River with their big side paddlewheels. Steam whistles signal, while in the bow of the Adams, a small, powerful woman is… singing. From all around, hundreds hear Harriett Tubman’s call and run for the boats, for freedom. At least 727 men, women and children escape, mothers carrying babies, including one pair of twins: the largest liberation of slaves in American history.

Perhaps half a million slaves escaped to the Union Army during the war, and in the end the war itself liberated nearly four million. But Harriet Tubman’s achievement on the Combahee River 150 years ago was unique.of 93 — the centennial of her death in 1913 was celebrated earlier this year in Auburn, N.Y., where she was living when the Civil War broke out. Her friends in the abolitionist movement, notably Gov. John Andrew of Massachusetts, reached out to the Union Army to find a place for her.

Just what that place was, and what she was to do, was obscured, even at the time. Ostensibly – particularly when it came to the federal government’s paying her – she was just a cook and a nurse, who did a little instruction for liberated slaves in the refugee camps along the coast of South Carolina.

But her role was always more than that. On Feb. 19, 1863, the Union general David Hunter –


was unique in American history. All Union operations in slave territory, especially as the Emancipation Proclamation become well known, yielded the self-liberated by the hundreds. But the Combahee raid was planned and executed primarily as a liberation raid, to find and free those who were unable or unwilling to take the enormous risks to reach Union lines on their own. That’s how Tubman conceived of it. That, too, is unique – because for the first and only time in the Civil War, or for that matter any American conflict before this century, a woman (and a civilian at that) played a decisive role in planning and carrying out a military operation.

But South Carolina was not like the Eastern Shore, so the Combahee was not like the Underground Railroad.in obedience to your orders, I proceeded up the Combahee River, on the steamers John Adams and Harriet A. Weed, with a detachment of three hundred (300) men of the Second South Carolina Volunteer Regiment and a section of the Third Rhode Island Battery, commanded by Captain Brayton. We ascended the river some twenty-five (25) miles, destroyed a pontoon bridge, together with a large amount of cotton, rice, and other property, and brought away seven hundred and twenty-seven slaves, and some fine horses. We had some sharp skirmishes, in all of which the men behaved splendidly. I hope to report more fully in a day or two.

The Confederates knew that the raid was coming, and that it was intended to liberate slaves. The local slave owner William C.


Heyward reported that at dawn on June 2 “the driver, who was with the hands at work in lower fields, sent up word that there were three Yankee boats coming up the river. Immediately got up and sent word to him to bring up the hands and take them back into the woods.”

The Second South Carolina was not made up of veterans. The men had far more in common with Tubman than with their own officers. That’s why she went with them on the raid. Yet Tubman wasn’t a passenger. The intelligence she gathered, the soldiers she recruited, indicate that she actually planned the raid with Hunter and Montgomery: three landings on the right, one on the left.

The driest desert on Earth may once have had lakes and wetlands, scientists report.

They have found the remnants of freshwater plants and animals buried in the arid plains of Chile's Atacama Desert.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed that Pakistan, being a democracy and a responsible member of the global community, subscribed to the work of the Commonwealth for promoting peace through international cooperation and poverty alleviation through sustainable economic and social development.

US Intelligence Committee unanimously votes to make Democratic memo public

Key Democrats are seeking to put out the document, including the Senate's Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer of NY, whourged Mr Trump to back the public release and said that refusing to do so would show the president's intent to undermine the investigation into Russian election interference.

The House intelligence panel on Monday voted unanimously to make public the Democratic rebuttal to the GOP's memo on the Russian Federation investigation.

An official said Sunday that the White House was open to releasing the Democratic memo pending an examination to protect intelligence sources and methods. It's potentially larger because of what the Republican allegations say about the process for obtaining Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants.

The President tweeted on Monday: "Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper!" On

But Republican committee members said on Monday they were comfortable with releasing the Democratic document now that it had been reviewed by House members.

While Trump allowed the interagency process to play out last week before greenlighting the GOP memo's release, there had been no question that Trump was eager for the memo to enter the public eye. He added, "And then within five days the president will make a decision about declassifying it".

Instead, the airwaves have been filled with claims and counter-claims.

Not even the best thoroughbred trainers in the world are guaranteed
an entry into the 2014 Kentucky Derby. Such was
the case for Bob Baffert in 2013. After War Academy was eased up and did not
finish in the Arkansas Derby, the misfortunes for Baffert’s barn continued. At
the end of April three Baffert horses had qualified for the Derby, yet their status was still uncertain. Then on
the Sunday before the Run for the Roses, Power Broker was ruled out. On the next day a final
decision on Code West and Govenor Charlie was also made.

For the first time since 2008, there would be no horse
running in the Kentucky Derby for the legendary trainer. But, that’s just horse
racing and the result of a very challenging


the trophy before.
For Baffert he’s compiled over 20 Kentucky Derby starts that resulted in three
wins (War Emblem, Real Quiet, Silver Charm) and three runner-up finishes
(Pioneerof the Nile, Bodemeister, Cavonnier). Of those, a memorable win came in
1998 with one of his most recognized owners, Mike Pegram. With Real Quiet and their
back pocket the decision to withdraw Govenor Charlie was probably an easy one.

However, Midnight Hawk brings two other figures into the owner’s
suite that are both looking for their very first Kentucky Derby starter.
Chicago Blackhawks head Coach Joel Quenneville and Atlanta Falcons Offensive
Line coach Mike Tice are a part of the team and they are going to be a fun
story to watch this season. Since they are new to it we wish them the best of
luck because as we sawwith Code West and Power Broker last season, qualifying
but having to skip can be very tough for owners.

Other notable Baffert horses that are contenders for the Kentucky Derby are Indianapolis, Tap it Rich and Bayern.

Previously known as the Santa Catalina Stakes it was renamed
in honor of Robert B. Lewis in 2007. Last year Bob Baffert joined Charles
Wittingham and Ron McAnally with four wins in this stakes race, the most by a
trainer. The last Robert B. Lewis winner to go on and win the Kentucky Derby
was I’ll Have Another in 2012. Prior, it was Ferdinand in 1986 that also won
them both.

This weekend, my dad gave Briley his boat. He wants her to have it at the beach house. Its the perfect little boat to play in the shallow water...

The Holy Synod in its statement noted that for over five years, occupying Russian authorities never ceased persecuting the Crimean diocese headed by Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea, Klyment.

Among most recent incidents is an attempt to seize the building hosting the St Volodymyr and Olha Cathedral in Simferopol, pressure on church community in Yevpatoria, as well as the detention of Archbishop Klyment.

of Bamako. Among other atrocities, the fundamentalist Islamists wanted to ban music. A French military intervention helped stabilize the situation somewhat, a move that was supported by even some of the most peacenik musicians I know, who had travelled to Mali years earlier.

That context informs part of my enjoyment of the new Rokia Traoré album: after all, what better to inflame the ignorant than a female singer and killer instrumentalist who lives a cosmopolitan life that thrives on cultural exchange between Europe and Mali? But more importantly, Beautiful Africa, her fifth release, is simply gorgeous: not just Traoré's stunning vocals, but her entire band's performance and the production of PJ Harvey's right-hand man, John Parish.

Hagen gave this account:

Shortly before 1:30 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Corinne and Donna drives in Newberg on a reported suicidal male subject walking in the neighborhood.

The subject was reported to be armed with a firearm and under the influence of alcohol. Officers looked for the individual and it was reported he was leaving the area in a vehicle.

Shortly after 2 a.m., officers saw the vehicle and attempted to stop it, but the vehicle failed to stop. It finally came to a stop south of East Second Street on Highway 219.

(a) The Authority to Forgive Sins. Ch. 2:1–12

1And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house.

2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room _for them_ , no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.

It represents the comment of Mark himself on the larger meaning of the total incident for the Christian Community. The function of the introductory particle is not to link verse 28 narrowly to verse 27, as if the pronouncement that the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath is somehow being deduced from the more general principle that God instituted the Sabbath for the sake of man. Its function is rather to introduce a declaration which follows from the incident as a whole. Its significance can be expressed by translating "So then (in the light of verses 23–27) the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Reflection on Jesus' act and word, through which he established the true intention of the Sabbath and exposed the weaknessdetermining kinship with Jesus. In the new family which Jesus calls into being there is demanded the radical obedience to God which he demonstrated in his submission to the Father and which the disciples manifested in their response to his call. The one context which makes Jesus' word intelligible is that provided by the demands of the Kingdom of God which has drawn near in his person. Because the Kingdom is breaking in upon men there is a new urgency in the demand for obedience. At the same time this demand creates a fellowship in which the common pursuance of the will of God binds a man closely to Jesus and permits him to know another as brother, sister or mother.
CHAPTER 4

4. Parables Concerning the Kingdom of God.


and veiledness; in verse 12 he cites the text from Isaiah, not to explain why he speaks in parables, but as a commentary on the contemporary situation in which the purpose of God was coming to fulfilment. In both verses the sovereignty of the divine disclosure and determination is clearly in view.

The citation of Isa. 6:9f. does not mean that "those outside" are denied the possibility of belief. It indicates that they are excluded from the opportunity of being further instructed in the secret of the Kingdom so long as unbelief continues. That the Kingdom has come in an initial phase in the presence of Jesus can be discerned only through faith, which is to say by the grace of God. Jesus' presence, therefore, means disclosure _and_ veiling;a fleeting moment. Jesus declared that the woman's act was a valid but proleptic anointing of his body for burial (verse 8). This pronouncement indicates that Jesus anticipated that he would suffer a criminal's death, for only in that circumstance would there be no anointing of the body.

9 In Ps. 41:2 the one who pays heed to the poor has the assurance of blessing from the Lord. Those disciples who had championed the poor by suggesting that the proceeds from the sale of the ointment could be given to them might appear to qualify for such a benediction. It is the woman, however, who receives Jesus' praise for her response to the poor man above all others who is about to suffer for the people of God. By


a solemn vow Jesus authoritatively dedicated the anointing to the remembrance of her deed before men. The assurance that the gospel will be preached in the world looks beyond the humiliation of burial, mentioned in verse 8, to the vindication of resurrection which creates the NT concept of "the gospel." Jesus' word clearly reckons with a period between his death and the parousia during which the evangelical tradition would be openly proclaimed. The celebration of the risen Lord would not erase the memory of this unnamed woman whose action anticipated Jesus' death and expressed her profound love for the Master. The incorporation of the tradition of the anointing within the Gospel already marks a fulfilment of Jesus' promise.

3. The Betrayal by Judas. Ch. 14:10–11

10And Judas Iscariot, he thatIt was not at all uncommon for a body to be left upon a cross either to rot or to be eaten by predatory birds or animals. The release of a corpse for burial depended solely upon the generosity of the magistrate. In actual practice, if the relatives of a condemned man sought permission for burial, the body was normally given to them. Cicero had permitted the burial of confederates of Catiline in response to the request of their wives (Plutarch, _Antonius_ 2; Cicero, _Orationes Philippicae_ II. vii. 17), and Philo reports that before a great festival, like the emperor's birthday, the bodies of those who had been crucified were given to the relatives for proper burial ( _Against Flaccus_ X. § 83). From such examples of legal

104. Only Jn. 7:3–10 speaks concretely of this.

105. Cf. Ex. 32:25–29; Deut. 33:8–9, _et al._

106. Jesus was not insensitive to the demands of the Law on this point. In Mk. 7:10 he cites both the fifth commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother" (Ex. 20:12) and the provision, "He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him surely die" (Ex. 21:17).

SARATOGA - St. Lawrence Universitys mens outdoor track and field team had an individual champion and won the 4x400 relay, but had to settle for a third place finish in the six-team Liberty League Championships at Vassar on Saturday.

Graduate student Elizabeth Edwards and sophomore Divya Biswal were two-event champions, capturing two of nine Saint individual titles and the St. Lawrence women pulled steadily away to win their second straight Liberty League title.

MENS MEET

Mike Scott won the high jump with a 1.98 meter jump, tying the stadium record while the 4x400 relay team of Ogdensburgs Jake Fredericks and Nick Crawford, Chris Payton and Vince Maniscalco prevailed in a stadium record time of 3:25.17.

RPI out-dueled RIT 222-168 for the team title with the Saintsfinishing third with 111.

The Saints added a second in the 4x100 relay with a team of Adrian Wilson, Omaru Kabia, Potsdams Shawn Lillie and another former OFA standout in Andy Fisher in 43.35. Crawford added a second in the 400 hurdles in 55.49 with Fredericks finishing fifth and Fredericks was second in the 110 high hurdles. Wilson added a third in the 200 in 23.57. Brendan Courneene was second and Steve Petramale finished fourth in the 5000 meters.

Other Saint scorers in field events included Brian Kane with a second in the high jump with Crawford fifth, A.J. Blaisdell was third in the discus while Scott Kasson was third in the shot.

WOMENS MEET

Edwards was named the co-Track Performer of the Meet while Biswal, who won both the long and


triple jumps, was the Field Performer of the Meet.

SLU won the team title with 216 points with RPI second at 175, RIT third with 107, Vassar fourth with 97, Bard fifth with 14 and Union sixth eight eight points.

Edwards set a Liberty League record in winning the 5000 meters in 17:39.10 and also won the 1500 with a time of 4:48.27. Biswal won the long jump with a 5.19 meter jump and jumped a Liberty League record 11.63 meters on her second jump and did not have to jump again in winning the triple jump.

SLU won the team title with 216 points with RPI second at 175.

The Saints were helped along by 22 points in the javelin. They also had an 18-point day in the high jump, ledby senior Kylie Morris, who won the event with a Liberty League record mark of 1.63 meters with Marisa Turner finishing second.

Caroline Raue won the 3000 steeplechase in 10:58.33 and Samantha Weber led the Saint point charge in the javelin with a throw of 30.66 meters. Jessica Marini won the 400 meter hurdles in 1:03.30 with Carly Stine second, both breaking the stadium record while Jessica Tyree won the discus with a 36.27 meter throw. Linder was second in the shot at 11:08 meters. Marini led off the second place 4x400 relay team (4:02.19),

Allison Scarf was second in the 100 hurdles in 16.34 seconds and Kinsey added a second in the 100 and a third in the 200 to her javelin finish.

On 17 October 2017, the Ugandan Ministry of Health notified WHO of a confirmed outbreak of Marburg virus disease in Kween District, Eastern Uganda. The Ministry for Health officially declared the outbreak on 19 October 2017.

As of 24 October, five cases have been reported – one confirmed case, one probable case with an epidemiological link to the confirmed case, and three suspected cases including two health workers.

Chronologically, the first case-patient (probable case) reported was a male in his 30s, who worked as a game hunter and lived near a cave with a heavy presence of bats. On 20 September, he was admitted to a local health centre with high fever, vomiting and diarrhoea, and did not respond to antimalarial treatment. As his condition deteriorated,


he was transferred to the referral hospital in the neighbouring district, where he died the same day. No samples were collected. He was given a traditional burial, which was attended by an estimated 200 people.

The sister (confirmed case) of the first case-patient nursed him and participated in the burial rituals. She became ill and was admitted to the same health centre on 5 October 2017 with fever and bleeding manifestations. She was subsequently transferred to the same referral hospital, where she died. She was given a traditional burial. Posthumous samples were collected and sent to the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI). On 17 October, Marburg virus infection was confirmed at UVRI by RT-PCR and it was immediately notified to the Ministry of Health.

The third case-patient (suspected case) isthe brother of the first two cases. He assisted in the transport of his sister to the hospital, and subsequently became symptomatic. He refused to be admitted to hospital, and returned to the community. His whereabouts are currently not known though there is an ongoing effort to find him.

Two health workers who were in contact with the confirmed case have developed symptoms consistent with Marburg virus disease and are under investigation (suspected cases). Laboratory results to rule out Marburg virus disease are pending.

Contact tracing and follow-up activities have been initiated. As of 23 October, 155 contacts including 66 who had contact with the first case and 89 who had contact with the second case-patient have been listed in the two affected districts, including 44 health care workers. The


number of family and community contacts is still being investigated.

Public health response

The Ugandan Ministry of Health has rapidly responded to the outbreak, with support from WHO and partners. A rapid response field team was deployed to the two affected districts within 24 hours of the confirmation.

To coordinate response activities, the National Task Force has convened, an Incident Management System (IMS) framework implemented with an Incident Manager appointed, a District Task Force has been established, and an emergency rapid response plan has been developed.

Marburg virus disease response activities have been initiated, including surveillance, active case search, contact tracing and follow-up, as well as monitoring within affected communities and healthcare centres.

Personal protective equipment has been deployed in the affected districts. Healthcare workers have been put on high alert and trainingand travellers who visited caves inhabited by bat colonies in Uganda. Marburg virus disease outbreaks have been documented during:

2007 – 4 cases, including 2 deaths in Ibanda District, Western Uganda;

2008 – 2 unrelated cases in travellers returning to the Netherlands and USA, respectively after visiting caves in Western Uganda;

2012 – 15 cases, including 4 deaths in Ibanda and Kabale districts, Western Uganda; and

2014 – 1 case in healthcare professional from Mpigi District, Central Uganda.

As of 24 October, five cases have been identified – one confirmed case, one probable case, and three suspected cases, and the outbreak remains localised. Ugandan health authorities have responded rapidly to this event, and measures are being rapidly implemented to control the outbreak. The high number of potential contacts in extended families, at healthcare


facilities and surrounding traditional burial ceremonies is a challenge for the response. In addition, hospitalised cases were handled in general wards without strict infection control precautions, and one probable case refused to be hospitalised for a period of time.

The affected districts are in a rural, mountainous area located on the border with Kenya, about 300km northeast of Kampala on the northern slopes of Mount Elgon National Park. The Mount Elgon caves are a major tourist attraction, and are host to large colonies of cave-dwelling fruit bats, known to transmit the Marburg virus. The close proximity of the affected area to the Kenyan border, and cross-border movement between the affected district and Kenya and the potential transmission of the virus between colonies and to humans, increases the risk ofthat shows up yet in the headline figures for voting intention, where pensioners remain considerably more conservative and everyone else's propensity to put a cross in the Tory box remains much of a muchness. Rather, the staunch individualism of the young emerges when they are probed about deeper attitudes. This even manifests in areas like the welfare state, despite young people being far more likely than their older compatriots to be unemployed.

A full 48% of 18- 24-year-olds, and 46% of 25- 34-year-olds disagreed with a statement suggesting that most unemployed people receiving benefits were "for the most part unlucky rather than lazy" – almost twice as many as in the over-65s group, where only 25% disagreed with the statement.

That gulf on welfare between the age gaps is a


wealth from the richer to poorer – though (as we will see later) perhaps not quite as strongly as their parents did at their age.

The generational shift in attitude towards benefits is perhaps the most frightening shift for advocates of the welfare state – and it is not a mere blip of one opinion poll. According to the long-running British Social Attitudes survey, today more than half of British people think unemployment benefits are too high – versus just over a third in the Thatcher era.

One man who might be said to epitomise Britain's individualistic new generation is Sam Bowman, the 24-year-old research director of the free-market Adam Smith Institute, who sees the shift as one caused by a new cosmopolitanism, brought on by the internet. "People ourthe start of the 20th century and nor will it be so for all that much longer, as the surviving ranks of second world war and Korean war veterans decrease.

Long-sightedness, by contrast, has been – and barring some technological breakthrough – will always remain a facet of old age. In the same way, we can draw a distinction between being associated with a particular age at any one time and having been born in a particular year – and thus being a member of the sort of particular cohort that we label baby boomer or generation X.

Analysis in both Britain and the United States has pooled surveys taken across a large number of many decades and grouped interviewees across them depending on when they were born, and established


to reach out now to young people – and old people too."

Of course, while it's possible that Britain's new "generation self" is bucking a centuries-old political reality, there is also the possibility that the rightwards shift with age has never been a reality.

Harold Wilson, the Labour prime minister already mentioned as one of those who sought to exploit the wisdom of Guizot's famous aphorism, looked to secure an election win by lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 in 1969. He went on to a shock defeat against the Tories in 1970.

Bobby Duffy, the managing editor of Ipsos-Mori's social research unit, and the man leading the company's generational work, says it is easy for politicians to miss the point of the differences – or the battle –generation is not uninterested in current affairs," he says. "It is remarkably focused on particular problems that it wants to resolve. If politicians want to take something positive away from all this, then instead of writing youngsters off as people who won't vote, they might want to consider offering them help with practical problems, such as housing."

Or, in other words, perhaps, letting them know what's in it for them.

What's in a generation?

Any grouping is arbitrary, but the ones used by the Ipsos-Mori researchers were:

Prewar

Anyone born in 1944 or earlier, who was at least alive for some of the second world war and is likely to have at least childhood memories of the war, the rationing that continued long after it, and the birth of the UK's welfare state.

Baby


Boomers

The generation born between 1945 and 1965, as postwar prosperity and the new welfare state led to a population boom. This generation was the first to enjoy widespread university grants, welfare safety nets, and (if they were lucky enough to hang on to their job) were hitting the peak of their careers during the late 80s, and are now starting to move into retirement.

Generation X

Anyone born between 1966 and 1979, this generation grew up in the aftermath of the social reforms of the 60s, only to be hurled into the economic battles of the 1980s, as the postwar consensus crumbled.

Generation Y

For Ipsos Mori, Gen Y-ers are those born between 1980 and 1992 (since those under 18 aren't polled). Born under Thatcher or John Major, and becoming politically awarecurrent situation will be difficult to do."

Taylor only had a New Zealand citizenship and the government had an obligation not to make people stateless, she said.

While Ms Ardern acknowledged the government's obligations to citizens overseas, she reiterated that they were limited in what they could do as they had no connections with the forces detaining him.

She also said she did not know the conditions in which he was being detained.

She said the safety of New Zealanders was a priority and contingency plans had been under way for some time, involving police and other agencies.

"I can assure you that we have long had plans in place in the event that a New Zealand citizen supporting ISIS in Syria were to return. It would involve a comprehensive response and management


ISIS.

A police spokesperson would not discuss matters regarding specific individuals, but indicated that Taylor would face investigation if he returned to New Zealand.

"If a New Zealand citizen suspected of associating with a terrorist group were to return to New Zealand they would be investigated under New Zealand law. The circumstances of these individuals is highly complex and any investigation or possible judicial proceedings would be considered on a case by case basis," the spokesperson said.

Taylor's history

In 2015, the US government declared Taylor a global terrorist after he encouraged attacks in Australia and New Zealand and appeared in an IS propaganda video.

In 2009, he was arrested in Pakistan for trying to gain access to Al Qaeda.

In 2010, he was deported by ASIO after he was assessed as being aDELAND, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2011) - The ETSU men's basketball team did not score for the final 5:38 of the game, giving up an 11-point lead over that time frame and watching as Stetson's Corey Walden sank a layup with 5.5 seconds left, handing the Hatters a 55-54 upset win over the Buccaneers in Atlantic Sun Conference play Sunday afternoon at the Edmunds Center.

The Bucs had one last chance at the end, but sophomore Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) was called for an offensive foul as he ran down the lane for a potential game-winner of his own. With the loss, the Bucs - who have won 13 of their last 15 games - dropped to 17-9 overall, 12-3 in A-Sun play and fell two games back of Belmont for


real story for the first 20 minutes was ETSU's defensive effort, which held Stetson to just 17 points. It matched the lowest point total for an ETSU opponent this season, and was the same as when the Bucs met the Hatters back on Jan. 10.

Stetson shot just 27 percent in the first half and was out-rebounded by the Bucs, 20-12. Smith scored 12 points in the first 20 minutes to lead all scorers at that point.

After the break, it was a different story.

Stetson put together an 11-2 run in the early going to cut the Bucs' lead to just 34-30 with 14:50 left. However, from there ETSU responded thanks to a quick five points from senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) and a 9-0 run ensued to make it43-30 with 12:08 remaining.

Stetson did not go away, though, and was able to make another significant run at the Bucs, methodically cutting the ETSU lead down to just one at 54-53 on a free throw by Graeme Radford with 36.5 seconds left on the clock.

Smith was fouled after Radford missed his second of two attempts at the line, but missed the front end of the one-and-one, giving Walden his chance to become the hero.

For the game, ETSU was led by Williams' 15 second-half points, while Smith finished with 14. Junior Isiah Brown (Miami) and sophomore Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) added 10 apiece in the loss.

ETSU shot 43 percent from the floor, compared to Stetson's 39 percent clip, and the Bucs also held a 38-32 advantage on the glass. However,


Indian reactor breaks operating record

The 220 MWe Indian-designed and domestically fuelled reactor has now operated without a break since 13 May 2016, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) announced today.

The previous operating record for a PHWR of 894 days was set in October 1994 by the Pickering 7 reactor in Canada. The current world record for continuous operation for a commercial nuclear power reactor of any type is held by unit 2 of the UK's Heysham II plant, an advancedUpon consideration of the standard of review, the briefs, and the record
presented, the Court finds no substantial question of law and no prejudicial error. For these
reasons, a memorandum decision is appropriate under Rule 21 of the Rules of Appellate
Procedure.

        Petitioner James Cross Jr. was indicted along with his co-defendant Thomas A. Grantham
in October of 2011, on one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, one count of
malicious assault, and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. The basis of this indictment was
an incident which occurred on April 23, 2011, wherein petitioner and Grantham were involved in a
roadside physical altercation with the alleged victims, Andre Jackson and Jacques Taylor. Three
witnesses saw the altercation and the acts leading to the altercation: Sharenna


Gonzalez, Sheron
Yates, and Shameeka Yates. The three women were at the Brickhouse Bar and Grill when they met
with petitioner and Grantham. The women were previously acquainted with petitioner and
Grantham. Taylor and Jackson were also at Brickhouse, and both were drinking alcohol heavily.
As the bar closed, Taylor and Jackson got into an argument with petitioner in the parking lot.
Taylor began to walk away from the argument, then turned around to return, but was physically
restrained from attacking petitioner.

       Petitioner and Grantham then left the Brickhouse parking lot and drove to a nearby Exxon.
However, the three women, Jackson, and Taylor also ended up at the Exxon, where the argument
continued. All of them then left the Exxon in three separate vehicles, and proceeded to Polo Greens
Townhouses.Cincinnati to the
home of Natosha Grantham and were later apprehended there. No weapons were found at the
scene, but Taylor suffered a stab wound in the neck and chest, and Jackson died from being
stabbed. The murder weapon was never located. The State contends that Taylor and Jackson were
stabbed through the windows of their vehicle and never left the vehicle.

        Petitioner and Grantham were tried jointly on all counts beginning on June 12, 2012. At the
close of the State’s case, petitioner moved for judgment of acquittal pursuant to Rule 29 of the
West Virginia Rules of Criminal Procedure, which motion was denied. On June 18, 2012,
petitioner was found guilty of second degree murder, a lesser included offense of first degree
murder; attempted second degree murder


testified that she saw petitioner follow the two victims in the vehicle, and
saw petitioner and Grantham exit their vehicle and go to the vehicle of the victims. Sharenna
Gonzalez, who was sober, testified that she tried to calm petitioner down after the initial
altercation at the Brickhouse. She also saw petitioner and Grantham follow the victims and saw
them approach the victims in the vehicle. Shameeka Yates testified to seeing petitioner and his
co-defendant attack the victims as they sat in their vehicle. Taylor testified regarding the
altercation, stating that he was stabbed as he rolled down his window, while he was sitting in the
vehicle. Medical evidence showed that both victims were stabbed, and that the stabbing caused
Jackson’s death. Forensic evidence confirmed that the victims had been attacked while still
sitting inside their vehicle.                                              4

which the State proved through testimony of Natosha Grantham was brought to her home by
petitioner and his co-defendant. The court conducted a full analysis under Rule 403 of the West
Virginia Rules of Evidence and found that the probative value of the knives outweighed the
prejudicial effect. Petitioner failed to prove an abuse of discretion in the denial of the motion to
suppress.


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a magnetic roller, a development device, and a processing cartridge for use in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a facsimile, and a printer, and to an image forming apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a development device for developing an electrostatic latent image on a photoreceptor drum, so as to form a toner image by feeding developer carried by a development sleeve including a non-magnetic cylindrical body onto a development area where the photoreceptor drum faces the development sleeve at intervals, and a magnetic roller for use in the development device. Moreover, the present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including the development device and a processing cartridge.
2. Description of Related Art
Conventionally,in an image forming apparatus having a photoreceptor drum as an image carrier, such as a copying machine, a printer, and a facsimile based on an electrongraphic method, for example, an image is transferred by the following operations. At first, a photosensitive layer of the photoreceptor drum is charged by a charging roller. Next, an electrostatic latent image is formed by exposing the photoreceptor drum to a laser beam from a laser scanning unit, and the electrostatic latent image is developed by toner, and then an image is transferred onto transfer paper as a transfer material.
A development device having a so-called two-component development process using developer mixed non-magnetic toner with magnetic carriers is used in the above-described image forming apparatus. The development device having the two-component development process


includes a developer carrier having a columnar development sleeve and a magnetic roller disposed in the development sleeve.
The magnetic roller includes a body part having a circumferential face buried with a magnet. A plurality of magnetic poles is formed by the magnet. In this case, the magnet for forming each of the magnetic poles is formed in the shape of a bar, for example. Especially, a development main magnetic pole for napping the developer in the shape of a brush is formed in a part corresponding to the development area part of the surface of the development sleeve. The developer napped in the shape of a brush by the magnetic pole moves in the circumferential direction by rotating at least either the development sleeve or the magnetic roller.In order to easily feed the developer, a surface roughening process such as a grooving process and a sandblast process is generally conducted on the surface of the development sleeve. The surface roughening process such as the grooving process and the sandblast process is conducted for preventing a decrease in the image concentration caused by the developer slipping and remaining on the surface of the development sleeve rotating at a high speed.
FIG. 20 illustrates a development device of related art. A development device 3′ includes a developer carrier 4′ for feeding developer to a development area facing a photoreceptor drum 23′, and developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 23′, so as to form a toner image. In addition, the developer carrier


development device 3′ illustrated in FIG. 20, the developer tank 311′ includes a pair of developer tanks 311a′, 311b′ and the agitation member 312′ includes a pair of agitation members 312a′, 312b′. The developer in the development device 3′ moves in the developer tank 311′ in the axial direction of the agitation member 312′. The toner supplied from one end portion of one developer tank 311a′ on the side furthermost away from the developer carrier 4′ is agitated with the developer by one agitation member 312a′ while being fed to the other end portion of the one developer tank 311a′ along the axial direction of the one agitation member 312a′. The developer moves into the other developer tank 311b′ close to the developer carrier 4′ from the otherend portion of one developer tank 311a′. The developer moved into the other developer tank 311b′ close to the developer carrier 4′ is transferred onto the surface of the development sleeve 5′ by the magnetic force of the magnetic roller 6′. After that, the amount of developer is uniformed by the developer control member 32′, and then is fed to a development area 41′ where the photoreceptor drum 23′ faces the developer carrier 4′ at intervals. Then, the developer develops the electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor drum 23′, so as to form a toner image.
Recently, such an image forming apparatus has been increasingly colorized and downsized. Since four development devices are generally built in a color copying machine, it is necessary to downsize each of the


More dynamic looks and an even greater feeling of luxury inside.

At 4,824 millimetres in length, the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is around 200 millimetres longer than the other members of the BMW 3 Series family. And that takes it close to luxury-class territory. The design of the new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, which has been sculpted to visibly greater dynamic effect at both the front and rear, heightens the impression of class. The new, standard-fitted LED headlights for dipped and high beam and the LED front foglamps lend the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo a more sporting appearance. The car has a visually broader stance on the road. And the combination of updated LED rear lights and more zestful lines brings extra brawn to the rearmumbai

LOS ANGELES—Nikki Benz won the coveted crown of the 'World's Strongest Naked Woman 2012' on the Howard Stern Show Thursday, beating out other starlets Justin Joli and Heather Vandeven. The contest consisted of two rounds, holding eight pound weights for as long as possible while riding a Sybian, and doing sit-ups for 30 seconds while ringing a cowbell attached to someone's genitals.

"I love being on the Howard Stern show," said Benz. "It's always a blast. I'm not sure what's a more prestigious title, Penthouse Pet of the Year or the World’s Strongest Naked Woman. Trust me, it's not easy riding a Sybian while holding up dumbbells. Every gym should include that exercise."

Benz is celebrating a big week signing her new internet website deal with Vicky Vette's VNA Network,a variety of different instruments including the kìm (moon-shaped lute), cò (two-stringed fiddle), tranh (16-string zither), tỳ bà (pear-shaped lute), song lang (percussion), bầu (monochord) and sáo (bamboo flute), and the violin and guitar which were adapted. The guitar used by tài tử artists has a deep, hollowed-out finger board, enabling musicians to play special ornamentation characteristic of Đờn ca tài tử.

People in southern Việt Nam consider Đờn ca tài tử to be an indispensable spiritual cultural activity and a highly valued part of their cultural heritage. It is performed at numerous events such as festivals, ‘death anniversary’ rituals such as the Death Anniversary of the Ancestors held annually on the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, and celebratory social events like weddings and birthdays.
