he turns on Luminar's system and the difference is impressive. But it's not just the quality of the items being scanned that's important, it's how far out the sensor sees. Luminar placed a black panel 200 meters away from the system, and it was clearly visible on the display. Typical systems see about 30 meters away and when a car is barreling down the highway at 70 miles per hour, the further a sensor can see, the better.

Luminar's big jump in quality and distance took Russell five years and if you're keeping score, that means he started the company at age 17.

He added that NYU, at the very least, expressed its gratitude to him for notifying it of the leak by mailing him a poster. While he was trying to figure out who exactly the Windsor files belonged to and just how they’d wound up on a completely naked folder on the internet, Adam called David Chudnovsky, the world-renowned mathematician and IMAS co-director at NYU. Reaching Chudnovsky was a cinch, because his entire email outbox, including correspondence with active members of the U.S. military, was for some reason stored on the NYU drive and made publicly available alongside the Windsor documents. According to Adam, Chudnovsky confirmed his knowledge of and


a change quantified by measuring the reduction in nanometers (nm) between certain chip features. The overview states: The WindsorGreen ASIC is a second-generation redesign of the WindsorBlue ASIC that moves from 90 nm to 32 nm ASIC technology and incorporates performance enhancements based on our experience with WindsorBlue. We expect to achieve at least twice the performance of the WindsorBlue ASIC with half the area, reduced cost, and an objective of half the power. We also expect our system development cost to be only a small fraction of the WindsorBlue development cost because we carry forward intact much of the WindsorBlue infrastructure.

A key to good golf is to learn to use the putter.
A variety of mechanical and optical technologies to improve putting, as well as driving, are available for the golfer. One technique utilizes a golf club that is designed with movable pins on the head of the club. By the displacement of the set of movable pins located on the head of the club a physical impression of the ball contact after a stroke is given and the properties of the contact such as primary position and uniformity are evident. However, The presence of the pins is invasive since they may affect the golf putting.
Optical technologies based on LED sensors and CCD or CMOS cameras have been employed for the purpose of teaching a golf stroke. For example,BEIJING — An outspoken Chinese human rights lawyer was sentenced to four and a half years in prison on Monday, the last to be prosecuted among hundreds of legal activists who had been rounded up in a crackdown in 2015.

The lawyer, Wang Quanzhang, was found guilty of “subversion of state power,” the No. 2 Intermediate People’s Court of Tianjin said on its website. That charge is usually applied to critics of the ruling Communist Party who are accused of organizing political challenges.

Other lawyers and activists who had been picked up in an expansive campaign by the government that began in the summer of 2015 were either released or put on trial and sentenced. But Mr. Wang, 42, had been held for nearly three and a half years before

It was a little past 3 p.m., with the sun high in the sky but the air still too brisk for spring, when 16 people gathered and sat cross-legged in a circle, blushing at the strangers they knew they’d be mingling with for the next two hours.Wearing figure-hugging tights and sleeveless tops in a variety of shapes and sizes, each person took turns sharing their names and native countries. All but five were foreigners from places including the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.“Feel the power in your hands everyone,” said Melodi Crowson, from Louisiana, as she led others to stand in the same round circle, but this time spreading their arms sideways to wrap around the waists of the


person next to them.As Crowson raised her voice to instruct the group to spread their right legs out into the center of the circle, bursts of laughter finally broke free as the attendants, mostly between the ages of 20 and 45, struggled to strike a balance.“Guys, feel comfortable with each other! Find that comfort zone!” yelled Crowson.For members of Acro Yoga Seoul, who gathered at an indoor gym in Yongsan District, central Seoul, earlier this month, breaking the ice with their fellow yogis was an indispensable step in continuing with other postures that required flipping, tossing, pushing and squeezing each other, skin to skin.The club is open to anyone who pays 10,000 won in advance, which Crowson, the organizer, explains goes toward using the mats in the rentedon teamwork between partners. The term was first used in 1999, and the number of instructors worldwide is incredibly limited, with Acro Yoga Seoul being no exception.None of the members in the group is a certified Acro Yoga instructor, although most, including Crowson, have either practiced yoga for several years or passed other yoga training courses.She herself is preparing to go to Japan in May to work toward becoming an official Acro Yoga instructor.For now, though, she and some of the other experienced members in the group gather a couple days or hours in advance of the club’s meet-ups, held every other Sunday, and reference an Acro Yoga manual for guidelines on what poses to try.In groups of four - one flyer, one base and two spotters -

In general, the ink drop generators eject ink drops through an orifice (such as a nozzle) by rapidly heating a small volume of ink located within a vaporization or firing chamber. The vaporization of the ink drops typically is accomplished using an electric heater, such as a small thin-film (or firing) resistor. Ejection of an ink drop is achieved by passing an electric current through a selected firing resistor to superheat a thin layer of ink located within a selected firing chamber. This superheating causes an explosive vaporization of the thin layer of ink and an ink drop ejection through an associated nozzle of the printhead.
Ink drop ejections are positioned on the print medium by a moving carriage assembly that supports a printhead assembly containing thebales, array them in an ordered matrix, and deposit such accumulated matrix of bales at a distant point for storage or further operation.
Such devices are commonly known as bale accumulators and various progenitors have heretofore become known especially as created for use with smaller bales of the 80 pound variety. Such known accumulators have generally picked up bales from the ground by moving the lower portion of an angulated conveyor against the lower portion of a bale resting on the earth with sufficient force to cause the bale to rise slightly and be engaged with the conveyor for lifting onto the accumulator structure. This method of picking up a hay bale is not particularly applicable to the larger bales of one ton size as it is difficult to

The NHL goalie was part of the Chicago Blackhawk's second cup win in four years. The Cup will be on display with Emery when he visits Koi Restaurant in Hess Village on Saturday July 13.

Visitors will get a chance to take a photo with the Cup and Hamlton-born Emery between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Koi’s patio.

Emery posted a remarkable 17-1-0 record for the Blackhawks during the regular season, but didn’t see any time in the playoffs due to injury and the strong play of teammate Corey Crawford.

Emery will play in Philadelphia next season. He signed a one-year, $1.65 million US contract with the Flyers.

A hip injury derailed Emery's 2009-10 season with the Flyers. It could


have ended his career but he revitalized it with the Anaheim Ducks and then the Blackhawks.

"No one had ever come back from what he had and played professional sports again," said Dean Collet, one of the owners of Koi. "To see him hoist the Stanley Cup was an emotional moment for all of his friends and family. To get to share this with him on Saturday is going to make for a special day."

Only lunch guests will be allowed on the patio so if you don’t get a seat, the Cup will be visible from Hess Street as well.Luxury Living for Christmas? Consider E2 apartments in Evanston

to address those low-water crossings.”

Most Popular

At the crossings, sensors in waterways measure the water levels and transmit a signal to a solar-powered control box that then activates flashing lights and, in some locations, a crossing arm descends. Then, Green said, a signal is transmitted to the county's system, and an online map that details each crossing is updated; the system also notifies officials including the county's Emergency Management Coordinator Kyle Coleman, who coordinates the Bexar County Sheriff's Office's response.

The $2.5 million system currently is only operational in unincorporated parts of Bexar County. The project began with 10-pilot sites in 2009, and this year, 42 sites were added. Someday, Green said she hopes to include additional crossings in the county and possibly work with city of San Antonio officialsif they choose representation.

The case is scheduled before a NLRB administrative law judge July 31.

In the petition for the temporary injunction, the regional director for the National Labor Relations Board in Newark said the company's actions had a "chilling effect" on unionizing at the facility.

Lifetime Brands' "retaliatory disciplines caused employees to avoid union representatives by refusing to return their telephone calls and some of the most active union supporters indicated to union organizers that they no longer wished to take active roles in the organizing campaign," the petition said.

An attorney representing Lifetime Brands, Michael Taylor, declined to comment. But in response to the petition, the company denied violating the National Labor Relations Act.

Lifetime Brands also was given five days to offer two employees, Rafael Ordonez and Anaudy Sanchez,


their jobs back. The company had already rehired three employees and two others had chosen to retire, said Jose Vega, an organizer with United Service Workers Union Local 947 who was collaborating with the warehouse employees.

Ordonez was a 25-year employee at the Robbinsville facility warehouse when he was fired in July 2017, according to the request for the injunction.

"The union's campaign momentum led (Lifetime Brands) to target Rafael Ordonez, the leading internal union organizer, and another union adherent by pouncing on minor safety violations and abruptly terminating them," the petition said.

Ordonez was first offered a promotion, which he declined, and was then fired after his employer concocted a safety violation, the petition said.

The company argued they were fired "for serious safety related conduct."

Vega said Ordonez's firing "shook" employees.

"Peopleare very afraid that what happened to Mr. Ordonez is going to happen to them," he said.

Then last September, the petitions said, other employees were "coerced" into resigning, the petition, said, after a supervisor who drove them to the facility for work announced that he was resigning, and they no longer had transportation to Robbinsville from New York. He was rehired once they had resigned.

"The evidence demonstrates that (the supervisor's) abrupt decision to resign, without giving employees a chance to obtain alternate transportation, was a subterfuge created ... to force the employees' departure," the petition said.

Despite the decision in their favor, Vega said employees "won't believe anything until they see him back."

HAINES CITY, Fla. — Polk County Sheriff's Deputies say they were forced to open fire during a domestic incident on Carl Boozer Road in Haines City Saturday evening.

A witness driving by saw two women screaming and fighting in the front seats of a minivan that was parked on the side of the road. That witness called 911 after hearing the victim, 47-year-old Wendy Schutte, scream that the other woman, her 76-year-old mother Linda Wages, was going to shoot her.

POLK COUNTY NEWS | The latest headlines from Polk County

Deputies arrived on scene around 5 p.m. The mother and daughter continued to fight and scream, ignoring deputies' commands to stop. Deputies say Wages ducked out of sight and then came back up, causing the deputy to shoot out of fearfor the life of Schutte and himself.

Wages suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, where she is currently being treated.

Deputies say Schutte displayed injuries consistent with being battered. She told deputies they were going to a Winn-Dixie in Davenport when she pulled over to compose herself following a family dispute that happened at their shared home.

Schutte said her mother began hitting her, pulling her hair and biting her before saying she had a gun in her bag. Wages told her daughter she would "end it all" if she "didn't stop blubbering," according to the sheriff's office.

Authorities say Schutte took her mother's bag and placed it under her left leg near the driver's side door. Deputies say that is the bag Wages was reaching for during


the struggle.

Following the incident, deputies did not find a gun in the bag or in the van.

Wages is charges with battery - domestic violence and aggravated assault - domestic violence. She will be booked into the Polk County Jail when she is released from the hospital.

The sheriff's office says the responding deputy is on paid administrative leave per standard protocol.

Sentinels helped to spy on Iraq during the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. One of the distinctive, bat-shape ‘bots was photographed by a journalist at Kandahar airfield in 2007. In 2009, the Air Force copped to the Sentinel’s existence, but released no details.

In December 2011, one of the 60-foot-wingspan Sentinel drones, probably flying from Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, crashed on the Iran-Pakistan border and was seized by Iranian forces. The Sentinel presumably had been surveilling Iran—specifically, Tehran’s suspected nuclear weapons program.

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) is proposing regulations relating to the mercury content in emissions from coal-fired power plants. In December 2000, EPA announced that it would propose regulations by 2003 and issue final rules by 2004. The goal of the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) is to cut mercury emissions by 50 to 70 percent by 2005 and by 90 percent by 2010. The level of mercury in coal and the resultant flue gas from the burning of coal, such as in coal-fired plants, is so low that economical accurate analysis at this level was not possible until the last decade.

to the accused as to his rights, or any purported waiver given by the accused without first consulting with his counsel concerning such interrogation.

I first state the factual context in which this question has arisen.  Appellant Coughlan, then nineteen years of age, and indigent, was arrested on September 12, 1966.  On that day he was interviewed at the Los Angeles Police Department by Irvin B. Wells, III, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  At the outset of the interview Wells advised Coughlan of his rights, substantially as outlined in Miranda v. State of Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 478-479, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694, decided on the previous June 13th.  After being advised of his rights, Coughlan stated that he desired tomake no statement, after which the interview was terminated.

10
On the following day, September 13, 1966, Coughlan was arraigned before a United States Commissioner, and attorney Bernard G. Winsberg was appointed to represent Coughlan.  On September 15, 1966, Wells and other officers interviewed Coughlan's father at the latter's home.  The father suggested that Wells interview Coughlan at the jail.  At this time.  Wells testified, he assumed that Coughlan had counsel inasmuch as he had been arraigned.  Nevertheless, following the father's suggestion, Wells went to the county jail on September 16, 1966, to again interview Coughlan.  He was accompanied by F.B.I. Special Agent Jim Cagnassola, and Detective Sergeant Henry Seret of the Los Angeles Police Department, all three being seated opposite Coughlan during the


interview which followed.

11
Wells commenced the conversation by again giving Coughlan a full statement of his 'Miranda rights.'  He also had Coughlan read a written statement setting out these rights.  Tehre was a place on this statement for Coughlan to sign his name, indicating waiver of such rights.  However, Coughlan told Wells that while he would be willing to talk to the officers, he did not want to put his signature to the paper.  Wells then asked Coughlan if he had an appointed attorney, and the latter replied that he did.  The interrogating officers did not ask for the name of the attorney or make any effort to contact the attorney or arrange for his presence at the interrogation.

Wells testified that Coughlan did notto a single throat. With a spacetime wormhole, matter can travel from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat. In 1985, American cosmologist Kip Thorne and the late astronomer Carl Sagan first suggested the current incarnation of wormholes when the pair was brainstorming scientifically plausible ideas for Sagans science-fiction novel Contact. Sagan posed the problem of hyperspace travel to Thornehow could he transport his fictional characters from Earth to various points in space quickly and within their lifetimes? Thorne expanded on earlier, discarded wormhole concepts by European physicists Karl Schwarzschild and Ludwig Flamm in 1916 and by Princeton University physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in the 1930s. The so-called Einstein-Rosen Bridge was named after the duo worked out the basic mathematics of connecting a


A hard rock band from Hamburg has won the opening slot for KISS’s concert July 31 at HersheyPark stadium in a worldwide online competition.

The Feens, whose first, self-produced CD came out less than two weeks ago, entered a competition that is giving one band from each of 22 U.S. markets KISS is playing the chance to open its shows. At the conclusion of the tour, KISS will choose the best of those bands to receive the grand prize that includes a $10,000 Guitar Center shopping spree.

Guitar Center(www.guitarcenter.com), the world’s largest musical instrument retailer, is sponsoring the contest.

Through online voting, The Feens was the top-rated band among 80 groups, including some from Maryland and New York, that entered for the Hershey show, band manager Kevin Shire said. More than1,000 entered nationwide.

The contest rules then had the top five bands for each venue listened to by KISS, who chose the winner.

Shire said that on Tuesday, he got a call from Guitar Centers Marketing and Promotions Division Jake Cheung telling him The Feens had been chosen to open the Hershey show.

The Feens have been together just six months. They are guitarist Zach Ernst, drummer Matt Liptak, bassist J McCabe and singer-songwriter Mike Narvaez. Some of the band’s influences are Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Just five days after the big date, The Feens also will open for the band Y&T at Allentown’s Sterling Hotel on Aug 5.

KISS’s “The Hottest Show on Earth” North American tour begins Friday and continues through late September.

country the mind-blowing chance to open for one of the greatest rock groups on the planet when KISS comes to their town,” KISS said in a statement.

“A lot of rock's greatest bands got their start opening for KISS including AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Rush, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe among many others.Thirty-seven years ago someone gave KISS the opportunity to become the Hottest Band on Earth.Now, KISS and Guitar Center are returning the favor by offering unsigned bands the opportunity to open for KISS on The Hottest Show on Earth."

Rep. Jerrold Nadler appeared with his fellow New York Rep. Peter King to discuss plans to build the Islamic center and mosque near ground zero on CNN's State of the Union. Nadler made a few really great points during this segment which more Democrats need to be repeating. The people opposed to the center being built are conflating Al Qaida with Islam, no one is objecting to the mosque in the Pentagon, the people who want to build the center already have a mosque a few blocks away which no one objected to and we don't put the Bill of Rights and religious freedom up to a vote.

He also said he'd respect the Republicans' sincerity on the issue if they'd voted to take care of the first respondersthe International Federation of Association Football.

Valerie, thanks for making a good point on education's vast influence in American culture and the world. Too bad Arne Duncan doesn't use good research and fact-based positions to drive his agenda.

The list says that mostly big-money rules the world with a few political leaders thrown in. I knew the Koch brothers would make it, especially after financing the Tea Party rallies (so much for "grass-roots" organizing!)

One major person missing from the list is our very own Karl Rove. How many years has he worked behind the scenes, oh, so viciously and effectively. Obviously, he wants to keep it that way to maintain his influence.

How about our own list of powerful people in American education? Instead of the usual heads like Arne Duncan


Front work is “a task of the whole Party”,4 and is supported by an extensive organisational system that branches down from the national to the provincial, city and district levels of administration and manages a whole network of related organisations overseas.5

The United Front tactics used by the CCP, seeking to coopt extra-Party forces at home and abroad, trace their roots to the Comintern, which brought them to China in the early 1920s. In post-War Europe, they were notably implemented to control vestigial non-Communist parties and other organisations in the ‘National Fronts’ in the Soviet bloc, as they were in Communist East Asia.6 Xi Jinping’s administration is upgrading the CCP’s United Front toolbox to work in the international domain. Organisations within the CCP’s United Front system that once targetedof the impact of “economic diplomacy” with Chinese characteristics on the political institutions of an EU member state. The case also illustrates the larger, indeed global ramifications of the PRC’s bilateral relationships with individual countries.

CEFC: The ‘flagship’ of political interference

The main actor on the Chinese side of the bilateral relationship was – until its collapse last year – the by now notorious Chinese company CEFC China Energy (中国华信能源), hailed at the time as “the flagship of Chinese investments in the Czech Republic”.47 The company’s chairman, Ye Jianming 叶简明, was even named an “honorary advisor” to Czech president Miloš Zeman in 2015. He still officially holds that position, even in his conspicuous absence after being disappeared a year ago, presumably investigated by the CCP’s disciplinary apparatus.

The CEFC affair is


a prime example of the double messaging that underlies “economic diplomacy” in the region and beyond. Ostensibly a private company, CEFC was in fact linked to the CCP’s political influence machine,48 through the China Association for International Friendship Contact (CAIFC, 中国国际友好联络会), a front organisation within the PLA’s political warfare apparatus.49 The company’s Hong Kong think tank, further connected to the United Front system through former religious-affairs official Ye Xiaowen 叶小文, was at the centre of discourse-engineering efforts promoting BRI at the United Nations.50 The methods chosen, which included large-scale political corruption at the UN and in African countries, likely played a role in the company’s demise: the head of its non-profit arm has been convicted by a federal court in New York.51

The “flagship of Chinese investment” has beenlimited licence for the city of Tianjin, as part of a pilot programme initiated by the Chinese government to stimulate domestic demand in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Four cities were selected for this pilot programme, to be serviced by four different financial institutions. Home Credit was the only foreign one among them.

The success of the pilot project demonstrated the opportunities of a potential national licence. By their own accounts, Home Credit’s representatives were told by Chinese regulators that, for this to happen, the rather cool relationship between the two countries would need to improve. At that point, Home Credit started to hire former Czech politicians in an apparent effort to work towards that goal.

Most prominent among these politicians turned lobbyists was Jaroslav Tvrdík, a former


Defence Minister.55 Tvrdík speaks no Chinese or English but, as a former minister and ČSSD insider, he had access to the political corridors back home. After Zeman was elected president in 2013, Tvrdík became his advisor and enjoyed full access to both the Zeman-nominated cabinet and the regular ČSSD-led government that replaced it in 2014.

In May 2014, the new China-friendly policy was officially declared during the Czech foreign minister’s Beijing visit. That same year, Home Credit indeed won the coveted national licence for their consumer loans business in what still was a very closed sector for foreign firms. Home Credit’s China venture suceeded beyond expectations: by 2017, its net loans in China were nearly €10bn, a 15-fold increase since 2014.56

…and China’s opening of the Czech Republic

Simultaneously, the Czechincestous circle, Tvrdík became the central hinge in an informal axis between PPF, CEFC, and the Czech state.60 One Miroslav Sklenář, originally in charge of protocol at the Prague Castle, distinguished himself by circulating through the revolving door between CEFC Europe and the Czech Presidential Office not once, but twice in three years.61 In late 2017, CEFC even hired the former Czech Euro-Commissioner for Enlargement, Štefan Füle.62 The Czech state seemed to be personally fusing with CEFC.

At the same time, CEFC appeared to go from strength to strength on the global scene. It was buying assets on several continents, and signed an agreement to buy a 14% stake in the Russian oil behemoth Rosneft.63 Chairman Ye Jianming kept collecting awards and distinctions: he became an advisor not only


to Czech president Zeman, but also the UN General Assembly president Sam Kutesa;64 CEFC cultivated politicians from Serbia65 to Georgia.66 The company’s non-profit arm, also named CEFC in English, was awarded an affiliate status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council.

CEFC unravels…

And then it all unravelled, almost as fast as it had come together. In November 2017, the FBI arrested in New York the head of CEFC’s non-profit arm, former Hong Kong politician Patrick Ho (何志平), on charges of bribing politicians at the United Nations and in Africa. Shortly afterwards, CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming disappeared from public sight. On March 1, 2018, the respected Chinese financial portal Caixin revealed in a quickly censored article that the former head of a major state-owned CEFC partner had been detained byof the “economic diplomacy” narrative despite the project’s obvious economic fiasco is a testimony to the efficacy of the kind of elite capture performed by CEFC. In the face of obvious facts, the political personalities engaged by the company perpetuate the narrative construct with slight modifications, reality be damned.

President Zeman took this tactic one step further by attacking the very institutions that had been warning against CEFC all along. The Czech counterintelligence agency BIS (Bezpečnostní informační služba) has been issuing veiled warnings against elite capture by Chinese entities for several years, as reflected in their public redacted yearbooks.70 These warnings have been not only ignored, but outright dismissed on a number of occasions.

Efforts to coopt the Czech elite went beyond such salient targets as president Zeman and his


of Party-state interests.84

Political interference at work: The captured elite to the rescue

Diplomatic and propaganda pressure was compounded with that exerted by local individuals ‘cultivated’ by the CCP. Two days after a Huawei executive was arrested in Poland on suspicion of spying for the PRC, and hours before the arrest was made public, Czech president Miloš Zeman devoted the beginning of his weekly interview with a (CEFC-funded) television station to a spirited defence of Huawei. Seemingly reading from notes, Zeman attacked the local intelligence services and warned of economic retaliation from the PRC. The PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs endorsed Zeman’s statements within hours; the unusual speed with which the MFA spokesperson was briefed about media statements in a small European country is again indicative of the level ofHi, my name is Catherine; I was born on the beautiful green island of Ireland.

This invention pertains to game equipment and more particularly, to game equipment that includes a ball rolled across the ground to a target or location and contacts other balls or objects.
2. Description of the Related Art
Bocce ball is a popular game in which opposing players or teams attempt to roll a ball assigned to them to a position closer to a smaller target ball than the ball tossed by an opposing player or team. The game which is played in multiple rounds, which requires players take turns tossing and rolling their balls at the smaller target ball typically located 30 to 70 feet away. At the end of each round, the player who tosses the closest ball or balls to the target ball iscap assembly axially aligned and partially extends into the ball's spherical body. The illuminated cap assembly includes an outer housing, and intermediate assembly, and a lower inner housing. Mounted on the intermediate assembly is a PCB with a multi-functional switch and a longitudinally aligned plunger. The intermediate assembly also includes a downward extend bridle with a downward extending LED bulb. Located inside the bridle is a plurality of stacked watch batteries.
One problem with the LED illuminated bocce ball disclosed in the '396 Application referenced above it uses watch batteries that are difficult to replace in the dark and relatively expensive. What is needed is an improved LED illuminated bocce ball configured to use standard, inexpensive AAA batteries that are easy to replace. In addition, because only LED bulb


Playing middle linebacker in new Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s 4-3 scheme is both mentally and physically demanding.

First, you get the play call from a coach and relay it to teammates in the huddle. Then, you have to read the offensive set and, if necessary, adjust the defense like a quarterback calling an audible at the line of scrimmage.

After the snap, you need the dexterity and strength to shed a blocking lineman and tackle a speedy running back and the quickness to drop into pass protection and cover a bigger tight end.

Third-year pro Denzel Perryman was expected to fill the role this season until he suffered a left ankle injury in the Aug. 13 preseason opener that will sideline him for two to three months, leaving Korey Toomerbe complete without a classic kit from yesteryear and the old-gold jerseys of the 1960s are synonymous with the era of Ron and Graham Atkinson.

7. Back in the 21st century, last season's grubby orange home shirt (which certainly did Dave Kitson's complexion no favours) won't be winning any fashion awards, but its purple sibling might just go down as our best away kit of recent years.

8. If last year's home kit looked a bit off colour, the Domino-sponsored creation of 2000/2001 is surely even worse. Still capable of sending shivers down the spine, this mouldy-looking monstrosity was worn by the club's worst-ever defence in a forgettable final season at the Manor.

public holiday itself or one at the month’s end.

That used to be the case in February until the provincial government decided in 2008 to follow three other provinces and mark the third Monday of February as Family Day, which coincidentally or otherwise is also celebrated in the United States, but as Presidents Day.

As matters stand, the Easter holiday always falls in March or April, and we have ordinary national holidays in May (Victoria Day), the first of July (Canada Day), Labour Day in September and Thanksgiving Day the second Monday of October, as well as some sort of holiday on the first Monday of August, be it called either Civic Holiday or Simcoe Day.

Another argument to be made is that other countries usually have a public holiday tohonour their war dead. In the United States it is Memorial Day, now celebrated on the last Monday of May, although November 11 is marked as Veterans Day, albeit without the poppies or cenotaph ceremonies that accompany Remembrance Day observances in the Canada and most of the Commonwealth.

The U.S. observance honours all those who served in the nation’s armed forces, unlike Memorial Day, which is traced to the May 1865 declaration ending the Civil War and initially honoured the war dead from both North and South.

As for the arguments against making November 11 an ordinary holiday, perhaps the best is that it would mean closing schools instead of either having in-school observances or arranging to have the students go to the nearest Cenotaph service.

Before the cartels, Rockefeller had relied solely on stellar production and efficiency to achieve great success; his participation in the cartels brought him failure and ire and was antithetical to his fundamental goal of expanding production.

In the wake of the South Improvement Company fiasco, Rockefeller claimed that he had never believed the cartel would work and that he had participated in it merely to show failing refiners that the only solution to their problems was to sell their businesses to him. Given his company’s prominent role in the SIC, this is likely overstated. But it is undeniable that while planning the cartel, Rockefeller began an aggressive policy of acquisition and improvement that continued


throughout the decade.

Consolidation: 10 to 90 in Eight Years

Rockefeller had several motives for acquiring competitors. First, other refineries had talent and assets that he wanted—including facilities that produced not only kerosene, but a full range of petroleum products. Second, he wanted to eliminate the industry’s excess refining capacity and its accompanying instability as soon as possible, rather than ride out the storm as the other ships sank.

Rockefeller made his first acquisition in December 1871. He proposed a buyout to Oliver Payne of Clark, Payne & Company, which was his biggest competitor in Cleveland (and which featured the same Clark family that initially had been involved in business with Rockefeller). Payne, suffering from the depressive industry conditions and without much hope of timely relief, was open to the possibilityoil. These pipelines connected new oil wells to transportation hubs. Managing these with its typical excellence, Standard made its stream of incoming oil more reliable and enabled drillers to quickly find a place to put newfound oil instead of letting it go to waste in an uncontrolled gusher.

An Integrated Giant

Standard was no longer just a kerosene company; it was a full-fledged, integrated oil-refining giant. And, after the Conquest of Cleveland in 1873, Rockefeller, age thirty-three, was still just beginning.

Starting in 1874, Rockefeller focused on acquiring competitors in the rest of the country. He began, as he had in Cleveland, with the major players: Charles Pratt in New York; Atlantic Refining in Philadelphia; and Lockhart, Waring, and Frew in Pittsburgh. He bought out the largest refiners in the Oil


Regions, including the refinery of a man named John Archbold, who later became president of Standard when Rockefeller retired.

Rockefeller’s operation was so superior to others in every facet—from its marketing efforts, to its access to supplies of crude, to its ability to generate and profitably sell dozens of by-products—that the acquisitions occurred with relative ease, even when he was acquiring his most sophisticated competitors. Charles Morris writes of buying out the Warden interests in Atlantic Refining: “Warden’s son recalled that his father was invited to examine the Standard’s books and was astonished at its profitability, just as Oliver Payne had been in Cleveland a few years before.”59

The most difficult acquisitions for Rockefeller were in Pennsylvania. The difficulties were not initiated by the refiners but by the Pennsylvania Railroadand its subsidiary, the Empire Transportation Company (ETC).

ETC owned extensive gathering pipelines and tank cars in the region, and it attempted to freeze Standard out of the area and acquire a nationwide refining victory of its own by—of all things—lowering its prices and making transportation nearly free for its refiners. This attempt ended in disaster. Rockefeller, who had provided the Pennsylvania with two-thirds of its freight, first tried to convince the Pennsylvania’s Tom Scott to stop his scheme.

When that failed, he stopped shipping on the railroad and redirected his domestic and international traffic elsewhere. The Pennsylvania Railroad started hemorrhaging money and, facing terrified shareholders, Scott not only ended the scheme, but he sold ETC to Standard, making Standard’s onloading and offloading transportation network that much more extensive and

how Vishnu's incarnation Parashurama brought about the end of the 19th Kali Yuga of the Vaivasvata Manvantara by killing the kings of the world:

Even the great ascetic Rama, the hero worshipped by all heroes, that son of Jamadagni, of great fame, will die, without being contented (with the period of his life). Rooting out all evils from the earth, he caused the primeval Yuga to set in. Having obtained unrivalled prosperity, no fault could be seen in him. His father having been slain and his calf having been stolen by the Kshatriyas, he without any boast, slew Kartavirya who had never been vanquished before by foes. With his bow he slew four and sixty times ten thousand Kshatriyas already within the jaws of death. In that slaughter wereincluded fourteen thousand Brahmana-hating Kshatriyas of the Dantakura country, all of whom he slew. Of the Haihayas, he slew a thousand with his short club, a thousand with his sword, and a thousand by hanging. Heroic warriors, with their cars, steeds, and elephants, lay dead on the field, slain by the wise son of Jamadagni, enraged at the slaughter of his father. And Rama, on that occasion, slew ten thousand Kshatriyas with his axe.

But as I discuss in this answer, Vishnu did take one earlier Kalki-like incarnation in the Swayambhuva Manvantara.  His name was Pramati (as opposed to the present Kalki who will be named Vishnu Yasha), and his story is described in this excerpt from the Matsya Purana:

King Pramati of the Bhrigu family and Chandramasa gotra


was born at the end of Swayambhuva Manu in the Sandhyamsha period, to inflict proper punishment on the sinners. That king travelled all over the earth for 30 years and collected arms and ammunitions, elephants, horses and chariots and marched with a vast army consisting of horses and elephants and accompanied by 100,000 Brahmana soldiers armed with various kinds of weapons, against the Mlecchas and destroyed them. After killing all the Sudra kings he annihilated all the hypocrites After destroying all the sinners and subduing the people living in the North, central regions, the mountaineers, the inhabitants in the East and West, the residents on the Vindhyas, the Deccanis, the Dravidians, the Singhalese, the inhabitants of the Mleccha countnes...

Three other ministries – Civil Aviation, Coal and Petroleum and Natural Gas – were found to have published monthly reports up to December 2017, while Ministry of Finance had published them till November 2017. As for the Ministry of Earth Sciences, CHRI said, it had published monthly reports from Januaryto December 2017 but reports for the previous months were not accessible on its website.

Intermittent reports

Amongst the worst performers were the Ministry of Mines, which appears to have stopped publishing monthly reports after February 2017; the Ministry for Rural Development stopped the practice after July 2016; and the Ministry for Corporate Affairs only revived the practice of publishing monthly bulletins in November 2017.

In the case of five ministries – Commerce and Industry; Communications; Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution; Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises and Science and Technology – the analysis revealed that they do not have separate websites of their own but were accessible to the public through the websites of their constituent departments.

An investigation by the US Air Force into alleged accounting irregularities at Micro Technologies has unexpectedly dragged all that nasty business between HP and Autonomy back into the limelight.

The USAF has been looking into MicroTech, which does a lot of business with government agencies – and, crucially, resells Autonomy software, meaning its own fortunes were closely linked to Autonomy's, in its pre-HP-acquisition days – and it appears to have uncovered suspicious transactions between the firms, the Washington Post reported.

Its investigation has led to allegations against Autonomy that are very similar to those HP made against the firm, after it wrote off $8.8bn on its $11bn acquisition of the company.

A letter from the USAF outlining the allegations, which has been published online byRecode, proposes that MicroTech and a numberof former Autonomy execs be debarred from federal government contracts.

The USAF made a number of claims, including that the British company faked software licence transactions with resellers to inflate its revenues.

The letter describes how Autonomy would recognise revenue on its books that it would then refund in some fashion to resellers, or recognise revenue from end-user licences on deals that hadn't yet closed – or even revenue on deals that never closed. In one case, Autonomy was trying to seal a ten-year deal with an unnamed agency worth $106m. Apparently, as part of the deal, MicroTech agreed to sell $11m of Autonomy software to the agency, which Autonomy put on its balance sheets. Yet, according to the USAF, MicroTech didn't have any role in the negotiations with the


Hello all,

My name is Wo Chan. I am a 23 year old poet, performer, and activist. I came to the US in 1996 as a young child, arriving with my family with full legal permanent residence. As a child my status followed that of my parents who immigrated to the U.S. legally.

The present invention relates to a toner for development of electrostatic images for developing electrostatic latent images formed on a photosensitive member by an electrophotographic process, electrostatic recording process or the like, and more particularly to a toner for development of electrostatic images, which is sharp in particle diameter distribution, excellent in flowability and shelf stability, small in dependence of charge level on environment and little in deterioration of image quality by continuous printing.
In an image forming apparatus such as an electrophotographic apparatus or electrostatic recording apparatus, an electrostatic latent image (electrostatic image) is formed on a photosensitive member uniformly and evenly charged by exposure to a light pattern of the image, and a developer is applied to the exposed region or unexposed region on the photosensitive memberto conduct development. The developer image formed on the photosensitive member is generally transferred to a transfer medium such as paper or OHP film, and the unfixed image is then fixed to the transfer medium by a method such as heating, pressing or use of solvent vapor. As the developer, is used a toner composed of colored particles comprising a binder resin in which a colorant and various kinds of additives such as a charge control agent and a parting agent have been dispersed.
As toners for development of electrostatic images, ground toners obtained by melting and mixing a colorant and a charge control agent, and optionally various kinds of additives such as a parting agent in a thermoplastic resin to prepare a resin composition and then grinding and


by the polymerization of the polymerizable monomer becomes a binder resin, and the additives such as the colorant are dispersed therein. In the polymerization process of such a polymerized toner, it is extremely important from the viewpoint of properties of the resulting toner to uniformly disperse the additives such as the colorant and charge control agent in the polymerizable monomer, and to stably form the fine droplets of the monomer composition in the aqueous dispersion medium.
However, the colorant such as carbon black is generally high in hydrophilicity and hence difficult to uniformly disperse in the polymerizable monomer. When the dispersion of the colorant is insufficient, the colorant becomes unevenly distributed on the surfaces of the droplets of the monomer composition due to its high hydrophilicity, and the dropletdiameter distribution of the droplets also becomes broad. As a result, the flowability and developing ability of the resulting polymerized toner are deteriorated, and classification is required to lower the yield of the polymerized toner.
Further, since many of charge control agents such as nigrosine dyes which have heretofore been generally used are high in hydrophilicity like the colorant, they have involved such problems that the dispersibility of other components such as the colorant is inhibited, the stability of the droplets of the monomer composition in the aqueous dispersion medium is inhibited, and the blocking resistance of the resulting polymerized toner is adversely affected to lower the shelf stability thereof, in addition to its poor dispersibility.
In order to solve such problems, there is adopted a method in which in

As the nation reflects on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination today, we also mourn the loss of another legendary civil rights activist, Linda Brown, who died last week. As a little girl in 1954, she was at the center of one of the most consequential cases in the history of the Supreme Court: Brown v. Board of Education. In Brown, the court unanimously declared that segregated schools were unconstitutional, and Brown kept fighting to desegregate schools throughout her life.

But why did Linda Brown dedicate her life to a fight she’d supposedly already won?

Because court rulings cannot change minds. Oppressors will fight to retain their privileged status and the belief that they are inherently “better” than others. A Supreme Court


ruling is unlikely to ever resolve a serious civil rights issue by itself.

Linda Brown’s legal battle only ended formal racial segregation in public schools, striking down the disgraceful “separate but equal” doctrine upheld in the 1896 case, Plessy v. Ferguson. After 1954, states could no longer designate a “white” school and a “colored” school. Frustratingly, though, even after a solid decade of judicial strong-arming, racism and segregation were so entrenched in southern public schools that they were largely able to defy the Brown ruling, only making significant progress in desegregation after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Two examples help illustrate the necessity of Brown’s lifetime project to desegregate U.S. public schools.

for summary judgment have been stipulated by the parties and briefly may be stated as follows:
On August 6, 1947, defendant Oravitz as administrator of the estate of John Oravec, deceased, filed a suit in the Common Pleas Court of Mahoning County against defendant Acri for wrongful death by murder. On the same day moneys, securities, and property of Acri in the safety deposit box at The Dollar Savings and Trust Company were attached. This suit proceeded to trial and a judgment for Oravitz in the amount of $18,500 was entered on January 19, 1949.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, meanwhile, had assessed taxes against Acri for the years 1942 to 1946. The assessment list covering these taxes was received by the Collector on November 19, 1947, and demand forpayment was mailed to Acri on November 19, 1947. Thereafter, on November 21, 1947, a notice of tax lien was filed in the office of the Recorder of Mahoning County. On the same date notice of tax lien and notice of levy were served upon The Dollar Savings and Trust Company.
On June 14, 1948, The Dollar Savings and Trust Company was appointed guardian of the estate of Michael P. Acri who had been incarcerated on his conviction for the murder of Oravec. The Bank inventoried the contents of Acri's safety deposit box on September 11, 1948. Currency in the sum of $35,821 and bonds having a total maturity value of $8,675 were found.

Ravens, 68The Marshalls–Gilberts raids were tactical airstrikes and naval artillery attacks by United States Navy aircraft carrier and other warship forces against Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) garrisons in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands on 1 February 1942. The Japanese garrisons were under the overall command of Vice Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue, commander of the 4th Fleet. Japanese aircraft in the islands belonged to the IJN's 24th Air Flotilla under Rear Admiral Eiji Gotō. The U.S. warship forces were under the overall command of Vice Admiral William Halsey, Jr.

Contents show]

Raids Edit

The raids were carried out by two separate U.S. carrier task forces. Aircraft from Task Force 17 (TF 17), commanded by Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher and centered on the carrier USS Yorktown, attacked Jaluit, Mili, and Makin (Butaritari) islands. The


Yorktown aircraft inflicted moderate damage to the Japanese naval installations on the islands and destroyed three aircraft. Seven Yorktown aircraft were lost, as well as a floatplane from one of TF 17's cruisers.

Aircraft from TF 8, commanded by Halsey and centered on the carrier USS Enterprise, struck Kwajalein, Wotje, and Taroa. At the same time, cruisers and destroyers bombarded Wotje and Taroa. The strikes inflicted light to moderate damage on the three islands' naval garrisons, sank three small warships and damaged several others, including the light cruiser Katori, and destroyed 15 Japanese aircraft. The heavy cruiser USS Chester was hit and slightly damaged by a Japanese aerial bomb, and six Enterprise aircraft were lost. TFs 8 and 17 retired from the area immediately upon completion of the raids.

Aftermathand significance Edit

The raids had little long-term strategic impact. The IJN briefly sent two aircraft carriers to chase TFs 16 and 17, but quickly abandoned the pursuit and continued their support for the ongoing, successful conquests of the Philippines and Netherlands East Indies. The raids, however, did help lift the morale of the U.S. Navy and American public, still reeling from the Pearl Harbor attack and loss of Wake Island. The raids also provided valuable experience in carrier air operations, which hardened the U.S. carrier groups for future combat against Japanese forces.[1] For their part, the Japanese apparently did not realize that their concept of a perimeter defense using dispersed island garrisons had serious flaws in that the garrisons were too far apart to be sufficiently mutually supporting


to prevent penetration by enemy carrier forces. The raids, along with the Doolittle Raid in April 1942, helped convince the IJN's Combined Fleet commander, Isoroku Yamamoto, that he needed to draw the American carriers into battle as soon as possible in order to destroy them. Yamamoto's plan to do so resulted in the Battle of Midway.

The present study aimed to investigate the association between uric acid levels and hyperuricemia, and genotypes of the Chinese population of the southeast coastal region. In the present study,


Animal production and genetic resources in Guinea Bissau: II--Tombali province.
A survey of the animal production systems and genetic resources was conducted in Tombali Province, Guinea Bissau. Animal owners and their families, village chiefs, shepherds and local officials were interviewed. The vast majority of the population is dedicated to very small-scale subsistence farming where animal ownership has an important role in both food supply, ceremonial events and as form of cash reserve. Animal production in the area is characterized by the existence of several ethnic groups: Balanta, Nalú, Sosso, Biafada and Fula. Only Balanta raise cattle (N'Dama and West African Shorthorn) and pig (crioulo breed) whereas all ethnic groups own goats (West African Dwarf), chickens and ducks. Sheep are limited to specific areas and ethnic groups. The survey ischarges against Professor

Tonkovich. An evidentiary hearing was conducted before a standing University

Hearing Committee, which issued its decision and recommendation to the

Chancellor, who dismissed Professor Tonkovich from the faculty in 1993.

Professor Tonkovich then took an appeal to the Board of Regents. What follows

are the details of the events surrounding Professor Tonkovich’s dismissal, which

form the basis of his claims.

      C. Facts

      In May 1991, just after her graduation from the Law School, the Law

Student went to Robert Jerry, Dean of the Law School, and complained that

Professor Tonkovich had made a pass at her in the fall of 1988. Dean Jerry

informed Professor Tonkovich that a female student had complained about his


                              5
conduct. However, he did not name the student, nor did he provide any details

about the nature of the allegation. Professor Tonkovich denied misconduct and

asked to confront his accuser. During July and August 1991, Professor

Tonkovich repeatedly requested that Dean Jerry disclose the name of his accuser

and the nature of the allegation, but the Dean refused to do so.

      In August 1991, the Law Student filed a formal written statement with

Vice Chancellor P. Delbert Brinkman, alleging that in July 1988, when she was a

first-year law student, she had engaged in a sexual act with ProfessorTonkovich,

who was her professor at the time, and that the act was preceded by a discussion

of law school grades. That same day, a local television news crew came to the

Law School. The station later aired a segment about allegations of sexual

misconduct against various law professors, who were not named. Later that day,

Professor Tonkovich learned the name of his accuser. Shortly after the Law

Student filed her written statement, Law Professor Elinor Schroeder told Vice

Chancellor Brinkman that some faculty members thought the Law Student was

unstable and that the accusations were part of a conspiracy against Professor

Tonkovich.

      The University established September 6, 1991 as the deadline for

submitting complaints against Professor Tonkovich. Professor Tonkovich’s

response, filed on September 9th, denied the Law Student’s allegation and denied


                                       6
sexually harassing any student. Two days later, he submitted an affidavit of Jean

Younger, one of the Law Student’s classmates. Ms. Younger had hosted the

party that preceded the alleged sexual activity. Ms. Younger stated (and later

testified at the hearing) that at the party, the Law Student was flirting with

Professor Tonkovich.

      The following is Professor Tonkovich’s version of the events that took

place on the evening of the party. The Law Student followed him around the

party for approximately five hours. She flirted with him, but he didnot return

her flirtations. When Professor Tonkovich left the party, she followed him out.

She asked him for a ride home, claiming she was too drunk to drive. However,

she did not appear too drunk to drive. He agreed to drive her home, but he was

concerned that she had romantic intentions. He suggested that they go for a

drive. He drove her to the campus police department parking lot where they got

out and took a walk. During their walk, she attempted to kiss him. When they

returned to the car, she attempted to sit in the driver’s seat with him. When

Professor Tonkovich said they should go, she became upset. He then drove her

back to her car, dropped her off, and left. He did not have sex with her, nor did

he discuss grades with


                  7
      During the course of the investigation, in September 1991, Dean Jerry

issued a memorandum to the Law School faculty, stating that the guidelines of

the Association of American Law Schools apply to the faculty. In particular,

Dean Jerry pointed out the guideline concerning the inappropriateness of a

professor engaging in sexual conduct with a student enrolled in his or her class.

Dean Jerry’s memo stated that the guidelines were relevant to the ethics provision

of the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct (“Faculty Code”). The Faculty

Code in effect at the time the Law Student filed her statement, and at the time of

the alleged incident, did not expressly prohibit sexual relations betweenof Regents called the Hearing Committee’s chairman, Professor

William Lawrence. During their conversation, they discussed recusals from the

committee. After this conversation, Professor Lawrence and two other members

of the standing committee recused themselves. Three other professors were

substituted. The conversation, the recusals, and the substitutions occurred

without Professor Tonkovich’s knowledge. Professor H. Rutherford Turnbull,

III, a substituted member, became the new chairman. Other members of the

Hearing Committee were Professors Nancy Ann Dahl, E.P. Johnsen, John Michel,

and Delores Ringer. None of the Hearing Committee members were members of

Professor Dayton as a witness, she testified that she had received a written

                                         14
statement from a complainant but that she had discarded it. Professor Robinson

also testified that he received approximately five written statements from

complainants. He further testified that he received the statements in sealed

envelopes, that he never opened them, and that he later threw them away.

      A week after she testified, Professor Dayton sent a letter to the Hearing

Committee stating that she possessedWarner. On September 15, 1994, the Regents upheld

Professor Tonkovich’s dismissal.

        D. Procedural History

        Pursuant to the Act for Judicial Review and Civil Enforcement of Agency

Actions, Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 77-601 et seq., Professor Tonkovich had the

opportunity to file an action in Kansas state district court for judicial review of

the University’s decision.   See id. at § 77-609. However, he decided to forego

this route, and on April 27, 1995, he filed suit in federal court against the

University of Kansas, the University Board of Regents, and approximately thirty-

four other defendants in their individual and official capacities, alleging

violations of § 1983 and various state laws. In his first amended complaint,

Professor Tonkovich averred three § 1983 counts


   Id. at 1412. He was also advised that

he could appeal the decision and that a hearing would be afforded at that time.

At the end of the ten-day period, the plaintiff received a termination letter, which

specified the nature of the charges against him and his right to appeal. The

plaintiff filed an administrative appeal, which was denied as frivolous. At no

time during the administrative proceedings did the employer provide the plaintiff

with transcripts of the tape-recorded interviews.      Id.

       The plaintiff then filed a § 1983 action. After a bench trial, the district

court held that the pretermination proceedings deprived the plaintiff of a property

interest without due process of law.    Id. at 1411. We reversed, holdingof terminating his employment with the University.

Professor Tonkovich claims that the reason the University handled his case the

                                         70
way it did and the reason he was ultimately dismissed is because of his outspoken

political conservatism and because he supported an unpopular candidate during a

divisive dean search at the Law School.      10


The rise of a science in the early twentieth century: the forgotten voice of Gualtiero Sarfatti and the first "social psychology" volumes in Italy.
Establishing social psychology as a distinct field of study has been the object of heated debate over the first decades of the 20th century. Entrenched in different theoretical traditions, such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, and criminology, the development of the conceptual boundaries of social psychology as an autonomous science was the result of a historic effort. Resulting from a negotiation process between competing stances, some voices relevant to the identity construction of social psychology have been lost over time. Within the framework of a "polycentric" historical perspective valorizing local histories, the present study aims to scrutinize those early voices, which were later marginalized.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) -- Elizabeth Taylor's family mourned the screen legend in a brief private funeral service Thursday at a Southern California cemetery famous for being the final resting place of Hollywood celebrities, including her good friend Michael Jackson.

Inside the sprawling Forest Lawn Cemetery, barricades blocked access to the funeral, where about four dozen family members mourned the actress during a service that lasted about an hour, said Glendale police spokesman Tom Lorenz. Five black stretch limousines transported Taylor's family to and from the funeral, but no procession was held.

The service began 15 minutes after its announced start time in observance of Taylor's parting wish that her funeral start late, her publicist Sally Morrison said.

Taylor had left instructions asking for the tardy start and had requested that someone
