with the pharmaceutical lobby, agreeing to table substantive reforms, such as the government leveraging its negotiating power to lower drug prices or legalizing the importation of drugs from Canada, and including policies that Big Pharma favored and stood to reap a windfall of billions of dollars in profits from. In exchange, the White House received the industry's support, which resulted in the pharmaceutical lobby spending $150 million on television commercials in support of the ACA, more than the total amount Republican Senator John McCain spent on his 2008 presidential campaign.

The public option, expanding Medicare coverage to people beginning at the age of 55, importation of drugs from Canada and bulk price negotiations were all traded away by the Obama administration, and in their place Democrats offered $450 billionthe inside," reported The Hill in 2013, noting that in the three years following the passage of the ACA, "more than 30 former administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street.”

According to the New York Times, by 2013, the healthcare industry spent "more money on lobbying in Washington than any other sector of the economy" and of the "revolving door lobbyists," those "specializing in healthcare" accounted for "more than any other economic sector.”

It’s not hard to see that Joe Biden was right when he called the ACA “a big fucking deal.” It was a lucrative business venture crafted between the Democratic Party and the health industry, and everyone in Washington is cashing in. The Clinton campaign is

BACKGROUND:While Hidon is quite similar looking to Pandorite, this monster is not a ghost like Pandorite is. In fact it is a strange, green, treasure chest-shaped monster that traps other monsters within and uses their powers to aid it in battle.
There was only one known Hidon in existance and it was destroyed by Mario and his band of adventurers while searching for parts of Star Road for Smithy. Some believe the monster was put on the Sunken Ship to protect the treasure of the sailors who lived on the ship before it was sunk by King Calamari.


eyes and nostrils. The current opinion is that these tentacles supplement the normal sense of smell, possibly for navigation and to locate prey underground.

Mammals
The star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata, of North America, has 22 short but conspicuous tentacles around its nose. They are mobile and extremely sensitive, helping the animal to find its way about the burrow and detect prey. They are about 1–4 mm long and hold about 25,000 touch receptors called Eimer's organs, perhaps giving this mole the most delicate sense of touch among mammals.

Tentillum

The word tentillum (pl. tentilla) literally means "little tentacle". However, irrespective of size, it usually refers to a side branch of a larger tentacle. In some cases such tentilla are specialised for particular functions; for example, in the Cnidaria tentilla usually bear cnidocytes,The

initial recession. But from 2003 to 2007, Chávez presided over a period of robust growth, largely due to strong global oil prices. The economy tanked again when oil prices fell and Wall Street collapsed in 2008, but the contractions of the later Chávez era were relatively short and mild — nothing like what Venezuela is living now.

Merlano was drawn in by the promise of a worker’s paradise. Relying on Chávez’s programs to help the poor, he moved his family out of the slums and into a government-built apartment complex complete with hibiscus-filled gardens and mountain views.

Shrinking resources and hyperinflation were tied to an implosion of the lifeblood of Venezuela: the oil industry.

In the 2000s, Chávez purged skilled managers, engineers and technicians from the state-owned oil giant PDVSA, stocking it with government loyalists. That set it up for a catastrophic failure as global prices fell from record highs. Venezuelan oil output is now at its lowest levels since the 1950s.

Industries nationalized by Chávez, who expropriated 1,500 companies, collapsed as regulated prices distorted markets. In two decades, the government seized nearly 5 million acres of productive farmland that has now been largely abandoned. In 1999, there were 490,000 private companies in Venezuela.

Ink-Slinger Profiles by Alex Jay: Charles H. Wellington

Charles Hewitt “Duke” Wellington was born at Edore Central Township, St. Louis County, Missouri on January 13, 1884, according to the Missouri Birth Records and his World War I draft card at Ancestry.com. His parents were James, a commercial traveler, and Josephine, whose maiden name was Hewitt.

Wellington’s father died before the enumeration of the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, which said his mother operated a boarding house in St. Louis at 3863 Washington Boulevard. She also cared for her parents, Charly and Carrie Hewitt. Wellington was not recorded there, but, according to Edan Hughes’ Artists in California, 1786-1940, “Wellington was educated at Smith Academy in his native


city and at Washington University.” The 1901 St. Louis City Directory listed Wellington as a student who resided at 3863 Washington Boulevard.

Without citing any sources, the World Encyclopedia of Comics said: ”Wellington’s first published work appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and St. Louis Republic. He accepted, in 1908, an offer to draw for the Memphis News-Scimitar and later moved to Nashville for a six-month stint on the Tennessean.”

The 1903 St. Louis City Directory listed Wellington and his mother at 522 North Newstead Avenue. He was an artist for the Post Dispatch. The 1907 Memphis City Directory had listings for Wellington and his mother at 908 East McLemore Avenue. His occupation was artist, News Scimitar. The New York Times, April 2, 1942, said he was a cartoonist onthe Memphis Commercial Appeal.

A photograph of Wellington and other cartoonists appeared in the comic section of the St. Louis Star-Chronicle, June 18, 1905 (below).

The Bookman, April 1910, said Wellington got his idea for There’s a Reason after reading an advertisement for Grape Nuts.

Wellington has not been found in the 1910 census. For Heart’s Newspaper Feature Service, Wellington produced the long-running, Pa’s Son-in-Law (1913–1915). His listing in the 1916 New York City Directory was: “artist Newspaper Feature Service 35 W 39th.” In the artists category his business address was: “41 Park row 507.”

He signed his World War I draft card on September 12, 1918. His address was the Friar's Club, West 48th Street, and occupation was cartooning for the Newspaper Feature Service. His description was medium height, slender build,


and brown eyes.

Wellington has not been found in the 1920 census. Artists in California said he moved to California around 1925. The 1928 San Fernando City Directory listing said the cartoonist lived with his wife, Emily, at 9920 Toluca Lake Avenue.

In the 1930 census, the couple lived in Los Angeles, California at 9920 Toluca Lake Avenue. They had married in 1919. His occupation was cartoonist for the New York Tribune.

Wellington’s address and occupation remained the same in the 1940 census, which said he completed four years of college.

Wellington passed away April 1, 1942 at home. The Newport Mercury and Weekly News (Rhode Island) reported his death two days later.

Charles H. Wellington, 56, creator of the comic strip, “Pa’s Son-In-Law, ” which ran in the Daily News for yearsuntil recently, died at his home, North Hollywood, Cal., Wednesday. He created the strip, which was one of the most popular of the cartoons, in 1914. The daily strip, which ran in the Daily News from the New York Herald Tribune, was discontinued because of Mr. Wellington’s recent illness, although he continued his Sunday feature. Surviving are his wife and his mother.

Kue, which will be the territory’s fourth diamond mine. The company has already transferred 41 employees from Snap Lake to Gahcho Kue, and hopes to move dozens more in the months ahead. But the majority of the workforce, which numbered about 800 people, are losing their jobs.

Snap Lake had problems since it opened in 2008 and was never profitable. Unlike Ekati and Diavik, which began as open-pit mines and later moved underground, Snap Lake was underground from the start. Underground mines are generally higher-cost than open-pit mines, and overall costs in the North are far higher than they are in less remote jurisdictions. Snap Lake is more than 200 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife.The Diyarbakır Sixth High Criminal Court ruled to release anthropologist Müge Tuzcuoğlu and eight other suspects pending trial in the ongoing Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) suit on Tuesday. The court adjourned the trial for Dec. 14, 2012.

A total of 27 suspects, 19 of them arrested pending trial, are facing charges in the suit that began after law enforcement officials raided the Politics Academy of the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) on March 8, 2012.

The court released Ramazan Kızıltepe, Mehmet Çetin, Müge Tuzcuoğlu, Cavidan Yaman, Mehmet Ekici, Mehmet Salih Yalçınkaya and Türki Gültekin, as well as two other suspects whose names have not yet been disclosed.

"The government is now trying to establish its own system via the judiciary. The profile of other cases across various locations in Turkey also

"An institutional attack against the BDP's academy"

Meanwhile, Tuzcuoğlu told bianet that she was still in a state of shock due to her sudden release, after her life had turned upside down following her arrest on March 8, 2012.

Tuzcuoğlu, an anthropologist who penned the book "Ben Bir Taşım" ("I Am a Stone,") also added that she felt bittersweet despite her release, as a number of her friends still remained locked up behind bars.

"There is not much I can say with respect to the legal aspect [of this situation. Our lawyer] friends do not know how to make sense of anything in this case either," she said.

Tuzcuoğlu also thanked all those who supported her and said their backing showed both the validity of their work, as well as howbut fumbled; teammate Leonard Russell recovered the ball and ran 22 yards; Bledsoe then absorbed a Dolphins blitz and launched a 36-yard touchdown to Michael Timpson, ending a wild 33–27 Patriots win.

Several weeks later owner James Orthwein completed sale of the team to Robert Kraft.

Anabolic steroids hit U.S. gyms in the early 1960s, courtesy of John Ziegler, the Americans' team doctor at the 1954 World Weightlifting Championships in Austria. He watched in horror as his countrymen were decimated by Soviet he-men who, he later found out, received testosterone injections as part of their regimen. Ziegler teamed up with a pharmaceutical firm to create the synthetic testosterone Methandrostenolone, better known by its trade name, Dianabol.

The biological function of anabolic (tissue-building) steroids isin 2016, boosting profits globally and potentially providing unions more leverage in negotiations. The union has demanded a bonus equivalent to 4 percent of dividends distributed to shareholders in 2017, or about $34,000 per worker.

Workers at the mine last year decided to end the strike by invoking a legal provision that allows them to extend their existing contract by 18 months, through July 31, 2018.

Gary Bernard MEANS
v.
STATE.
6 Div. 471.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.
June 12, 1973.
Rehearing Denied June 26, 1973.
J. Massey Relfe, Jr., Birmingham, for appellant.
William J. Baxley, Atty. Gen., Montgomery, Herbert H. Henry, Asst. Atty. Gen., Birmingham, for appellee.
TYSON, Judge.
The Grand Jury of Jefferson County, Alabama, indicted the appellant for first degree murder in the fatal stabbing of one Allen Moore. The Jury's verdict and judgment fixed punishment at life imprisonment in the penitentiary.
*357 The evidence showed that on the morning of November 14, 1970, the appellant went to the home of the deceased in Birmingham, Alabama. Appellant left to buy a bottle of wine, and when he returned he was accompanied by Robert Nash, the deceased's brother-in-law. They were joined, a short time later, by John Williams,a cousin of the deceased. Mrs. Richard Lee Moore, wife of the deceased and a cousin of the appellant, testified that all three of the men were drinking the wine and left once to get another bottle. George Dunham, another cousin of the deceased, arrived shortly after noon. At that time Robert Nash asked Mrs. Moore for a dollar to buy some more wine. When Mrs. Moore refused, Nash stood up as if to swing at Mrs. Moore and fell and hit his mouth. Appellant and Dunham then took Nash to the bathroom to wash the blood from his mouth. The deceased had remained in the bedroom up until this time. Mrs. Moore testified that while Nash was in the bathroom he was talking in a very loud


voice, using vulgar language about getting the dollar. At this time the deceased came out of the bedroom and went into the bathroom. Mrs. Moore heard the deceased tell Robert that he had to stop hitting his wife, even though she was his sister. She further testified that she heard a slap from the bathroom. An argument then broke out between the deceased and the appellant. Mrs. Moore testified that appellant and George Dunham picked up chairs as if to strike each other, but that no blows were struck. Mrs. Moore became very upset and asked appellant and Dunham to leave. She and the deceased, accompanied by Nash and Johnny Williams, then left to go to Mrs. Moore's grandmother's house. On the way they stopped once at apoolroom, and as the deceased was going in, he passed the appellant coming out. After one more stop at a friend's house, they arrived at the house of Mrs. Moore's grandmother. As they approached the house, Mrs. Moore's aunt, Betty Davis, and cousin, Peggy Brown, were standing in the door with appellant standing behind them. Mrs. Moore testified that they were asking why Allen had jumped on Robert. The deceased replied, "Yeah, I slapped you and I will slap you again." At this point appellant said "You made a mistake," and stabbed the deceased. The victim was then taken to Carraway Hospital where he was admitted and later died.
Mrs. Moore further testified that the deceased did not have a weapon, nor did he attempt to strike the appellant.
John


P. Helton, a deputy coroner, testified that he had been employed by the Jefferson County Coroner's office for five years, and before that had been employed by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department for fifteen years. He stated that he had examined the body of Allen Moore on November 14, 1970, at the Carraway Hospital. He testified that during the examination he observed a large "surgical incision" on the right side of "the chest that had been sewed back up," and a three-inch stab wound in the right side of the neck. He then identified a photograph, State's Exhibit No. 1, as accurately depicting the body at the time of his examination, and showing the wound which he described. It was then admitted into evidence. Mr. Helton further statedthat he had had occasion to examine many knife wounds, and from his experience as a coroner, he knew the vital body organs. He testified that in his opinion the death of Allen Moore was caused by a severed carotid artery and hemorrhaging.
Peggy Brown testified that she saw appellant stab the deceased. After the blow was struck, she observed the victim step back, throw open his coat, and pull the blade out. She stated, however, that she did not see that knife when it fell to the ground. She stated that the knife the deceased pulled from his shoulder was similar to a steak knife.
Sergeant O. C. Ellard then testified that he had investigated the homicide of Allen Moore on November 14, 1970. He identified *358 State's Exhibit


No. 3 as the blade found in his presence at the scene of the homicide by Lugenia Brown. It was found by the porch in front of the residence. Sergeant Ellard testified that he saw Mrs. Brown pick it up and then hand it to him, and that it had been under his custody and control since that date. It was then introduced into evidence.
Reginald Davis, who also witnessed the stabbing, testified that the knife used was a steak knife.

Appellant first contends the trial court erred in allowing into evidence the photograph of deceased, marked State's Exhibit No. 1.

Dame Vera Lynn and Ben Woollacott took to the water at the Rementowa shipyard in Gdansk earlier this week, ahead of the two-month closure of the ferry service this autumn, which will see replace and modernise facilities.

The two boats, costing £20 million each, are replacing the existing three vessels – Ernest Bevin, John Burns and James Newman – which have plied the route since 1963. They will be the fourth generation of ferries since the free service began in 1889.

They will now be fitted out and painted before undergoing sea trials. They are named after notable figures from each side of the Thames: wartime


QUEEN MARGARET, the successor of Albrecht, for the first time in history united the three Scandinavian countries and their dependencies under one rule. Born in a prison in which King Valdemar of Den-mark had placed his consort, Queen Hedvig, there remained in the character of Margaret something of the rigor and chill of her uncomely birthplace. When she was seven, she was engaged to King Hakon of Norway, and married to him at eleven years of age. In Norway, her education was continued for several years after her marriage under the stern supervision of Dame Martha, a daughter of St. Birgitta, who often applied corporal punishment to the young queen. Margaret early gave evidence of self-control and power of reflection, and her mind developed at the expense ofher heart. Her son Olaf became king of Denmark upon Valdemar’s death, in 1375, and king of Norway upon that of Hakon, in 1380. Upon his death, in 1387, Margaret succeeded him, and two years later laid Sweden under her sceptre.

Albrecht was captured, but the Germans still were in possession of several Swedish strongholds. These yielded to Margaret, one after the other, except Stockholm. In the capital, the German influx of soldiers and merchants had made the foreign population exceedingly large. They now acted as oppressors. A secret league was formed which captured a great number of prominent Swedish citizens, who were cruelly tortured with wooden saws and then thrown into an old shed on the islet of Kæpplingeholm. The shed was ignited and the poor prisoners suffered


a terrible death. German freebooters, especially the Vitalen or Victuallen Brotherhood, who provided the fortress of Stockholm with victuals, were plundering in the Baltic and Lake Mælar, and were the allies of the Germans of Stockholm. Margaret was powerless against them until she entered into an alliance with the Hanseatic towns. This ended the war; Stockholm surrendered and peace was made, in 1395. The plunders by sea-rovers in the Baltic were put an end to during Margaret’s reign, but cost heroic efforts and much money, while the influence of the Hansa grew into menacing proportions.

Margaret was anxious to place the dynasty of the North firmly within her line of descent. In 1389, she selected her sister’s grandson, Eric of Pomerania, then six years old, her successor, and hewas thus proclaimed in Norway. In 1395, Eric was chosen king of Denmark and, in 1396, of Sweden. At his Swedish coronation in Kalmar, in 1397, Queen Margaret, who remained at his side as the real ruler, had the outline drawn of an Act of Union, which should forever unite the three Scandinavian kingdoms under one ruler. Each country was to preserve its constitution, laws and traditions unmolested, but they were to support each other in times of war. When a king was to be chosen, representatives of equal numbers from each country were to meet in Halmstad, the sons of kings to be favored by choice. This Act of Union was never carried into effect, according to legal forms. The sketch or outline of it, such as


Swedish law to install foreigners as bailiffs and vassals, and as she appointed a great number of Danes to Swedish fiefs, and never a Swede to Danish positions of the same or equal importance, the Swedish complaints, on this point, were justified.

Margaret was as severe toward the ecclesiastics as toward the nobles. But when she noticed the forebodings of powerful resistance, she made important concessions. She was anxious to observe religious practices, joining the convent of Vadstena as a “worldly sister,” kissing the hands of all the monks and nuns on that occasion. She took interest in the conversion of the Laps, sending a baptized woman of their race, by the name of Margaret, to preach the Gospel among them.

The war with Holstein concerning the possession of Schleswighad been brought to an armistice, and the queen sailed to Flensburg to conduct further negotiations. While still on board of her ship, death surprised her, in 1412.

Margaret has been called the Semiramis of the North and well deserves her widespread fame. During her reign, the Northern countries, through her wisdom and strength, enjoyed a degree of order which they missed both before and after. She put an end to the foreign influence which had governed Sweden. Yet her rule was a disappointment, and the Union also. She paved the way for a new foreign influence, by making a German prince her successor and by leaning too much on the Hansa. The aristocratic oppression was crushed by her, but she introduced the oppression through royal bailiffs. She promised


to preserve the old territory of Sweden unmolested, but placed the island of Gothland under Denmark. The Union of which Queen Margaret was the champion her successors were not able to grasp or uphold in the spirit of her good intentions. To Sweden it came in an inauspicious time when it was not fit to receive it. Foreign oppression had irritated the people to resistance, and discontent was to give life to patriotism.

Sweden had recently developed into one joint constitutional body, the various provinces giving up their ancient laws for a state law, in which the old individual traits were gathered and recognized. We know how Sweden was settled, not by various tribes, but by pioneers who, from the old home of culture, Scania, penetrated to the wildernessabove, settling one district after the other, which, one by one, developed into provinces, little states by themselves, later united into one realm with a common king. One by one these provinces had taken the lead in the political and cultural development, often the youngest before the oldest. Thus the Swedes, a younger branch of the Gauts, gave their name to the country and furnished the rulers, the Guts of the island of Gothland securing the commercial supremacy of the sea, and the Rus of the out-skirts of Upland founding the Russian empire. Now it fell upon Dalecarlia, the most recently settled of Swedish provinces, to save freedom and independence to a newly regenerated state which was awakening to the consciousness of its solidarity of interests, aspirations and


duties. From Dalecarlia came the first great political leader. From there he and his later successors received their chief support.

Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson is the earliest and greatest of the patriotic heroes of Swedish history. To the glory of his deeds and the noble simplicity of his character the death of a martyr gives added lustre. Engelbrekt was born at Kopparberg, in the mining district of Dalecarlia, where there were many German settlers. Possibly his early ancestors were among them; but for three generations at least they had been native-born Swedes, Engelbrekt’s father, as he himself, belonging to the Swedish nobility, although not of the influential families. Engelbrekt had received the chivalric education of his time at the courts of the great nobles, being next in rank to a knight,voepnare (squire), at the opening of his career. He was small of stature, but eloquent, courageous and of a lofty mind. The integrity of his character was absolute; his personal necessities were few and plain.

King Eric was a highly educated and refined man, not without a certain ability, but entirely without discernment and patience for the various demands and conditions of the countries over which he was set to rule. His foreign bailiffs in Sweden, mostly Danes, with a fair sprinkling of Germans and Italians, were still less in sympathy with his Swedish subjects. They tried to manage them as they did the Danes and the inhabitants of more southern countries, for centuries accustomed to slavery, ignorant of the ancient spirit of independence of the Swedish yeomanry, abated


but not suppressed. When oppression no longer kept within reasonable bounds, the Swedish patience came to an end, and, first in the youngest and most solitary parts of the country.

The most hated of Danish bailiffs was Jsse Ericsson, of Westmanland and Dalecarlia. After having confiscated the horses of the peasants, he is said to have harnessed the men to plows and the women to grain-loads, once suffocating five peasants. Engelbrekt felt compassion for the misery of the suffering people and accepted the commission to seek the king, to make complaints in their behalf. He appeared before King Eric in Denmark, demanding punishment of the cruel bailiff and offering to go into prison or surrender his life if not speaking the truth, as was the custom of the time.The king gave him a letter to the Swedish council of state, demanding an inquiry which was promptly made. When Engelbrekt for a second time appeared with the corroboration of his statements from the Swedish councillors, the king sent him away in a fit of impatient rage. Upon his return, the Dalecarlians rose in a body, selecting Engelbrekt as their leader and marching south to Westeros. The councillors met and promised to have justice done in the case. But things remained the same until the following spring, in 1434. At midsummer the Dalecarlians commenced operations. The fort of Borganæs and the castle of Kping were destroyed. Engelbrekt asked the people of Westmanland to join him, which they did to a man, the nobles also joining upon evidence of


the determination of the popular leader. In Upsala, Engelbrekt found the people of Upland ready to join, and he made clear to the great multitudes the mission he had undertaken. He now felt strong enough to take a hand in the affairs of state; with the consent of the leading nobles reducing the taxes by one-third. Engelbrekt called upon a young, high-spirited nobleman, Eric Puke, to bring Norrland to revolt and destroy the forts of that district, which commissions Puke fulfilled to the letter, thereupon reinforcing Engelbrekt with his men. In the meantime, the people of western Sdermanland rose by their own determination, destroying Gripsholm; the bailiff of the castle escaping with his treasures in boats over Lake Maelar. In Vermland and Dal the people followed these examplesKing Eric, yet giving as an excuse that they were compelled to do so. The revolt had now spread to all parts of the kingdom, at least 100,000 being armed to meet the emergency. But so carefully and quietly was the work of liberation performed that no harm was done in the parts where the peasant armies were moving. After having entered Halmstad, Engelbrekt returned to Westeros, where the army was scattered, but soon gathered again upon the report that the king with a fleet was approaching Stock-holm. Upon his arrival, the king found Stockholm en-closed by a peasant army and returned to Denmark, forced to agree to an armistice. At a meeting in Arboga, Engelbrekt was elected regent. This was the first meeting in which representatives of


the merchant class and the yeomanry took part, being thus the first riksdag or parliament composed of the four Estates  noblemen, ecclesiastics, burghers, and yeomen.

King Eric promised, upon his return to Stockholm, to govern the country according to its laws and through Swedish men, appointing Krister Nilsson Vasa drotsete, and Charles Knutsson Bonde marsk. But so badly did he keep his promises that he was once more dethroned. The nobles hastened to elect Charles Knutsson regent, but through pressure which the peasants brought to bear it was agreed that he should share his power with Engelbrekt and lead the siege of Stockholm, while the latter should free the country from the bailiffs reinstalled by the king.

Upon his second tour through the country, Engelbrekt was seized by illness,but being called to Stockholm by an important state affair, he started over the lakes thither from OErebro. One evening he stopped at an islet in Lake Hielmar for the night. When he saw a boat approach with Mons Bengtsson on board he staggered on a crutch down to receive him. This man sprang ashore and assaulted Engelbrekt, who tried to ward off the blows of the axe with his crutch, but failing to do so he was killed on the spot, in April, 1436. The perpetrator of this beastly murder was a son of a noble with whom Engelbrekt had been engaged in some controversy which he had recently settled to the satisfaction of both parties. The murderer escaped; but, although shielded from punishment by Marsk Charles


Knutsson, he was shunned by everybody, his high-born and wealthy relations for several centuries refusing to carry the proud family name (Natt och Dag) upon which he had brought shame.

The memory of Engelbrekt is one of the most honored and most beloved in Swedish history. He waged the first battle against the oppression which foreign intrigues had brought upon his country, and saved from the peril of slavery the ancient freedom and independence of the Swedish people.

Through a remarkable coincidence, a cousin of Engelbrekt’s murderer, Nils Bosson, a young follower of the popular hero, who took his mother’s family name of Sture, was to become the father and grandfather of two of the most revered of Engelbrekt’s successors; Nils Bosson himself being as sympathetic and upright a typeof noble-man as any time or country has produced.

Charles Knutsson, after Engelbrekt’s death, was the most influential man in Sweden. But he was a very different man. Belonging to the highest aristocracy, he was him-self of great wealth, highly talented, well read, and a great traveller. He was exceedingly handsome, dignified, amiable, eloquent, and possessed a voice of unusual charm and strength. But he was a prey to ambition, determined to make his way to the throne, but little careful in the selection of his means toward that end. He aroused the suspicion and hatred of Eric Puke, whom he irritated to revolt only to get him in his power. This noble but headstrong man was executed for treason, while Drotsete Krister Nils-son, who signed the death-warrant in


the interest of Charles, himself was persecuted by the latter and deprived of all his fiefs save one. Charles showed great severity in punishing the peasants, who were Puke’s supporters, four of them being burned alive; thus losing the popular sympathy, while becoming an object of envy in the eyes of the nobles. These recalled King Eric, who was again found impossible and soon dethroned also in Denmark.

Christopher of Bavaria, a nephew of Eric, was elected to succeed him (in 1440) by the nobles of Denmark and Sweden. He was a good-natured man, who allowed the aristocrats of Sweden to rule as they pleased, only keeping an eye on Charles Knutsson. Christopher died in 1448. During his reign a new state law was issued in 1442, called “KingChristopher’s land’s law,” although the king probably had very little to do with its form or stipulations. It offered a few improvements, but in general so closely resembled the older state law that the one was often mistaken for the other and both remained valid until 1738 Charles Knutsson (Charles VIII.) returned from Fin-land, which duchy had been held under his supremacy, four months after Christopher’s death, and was by an overwhelming majority elected king of Sweden. Shortly after his coronation at Upsala he was elected king of Norway and crowned at Drontheim, in 1449. His reign opened with a lucky expedition to the island of Gothland. But in the following year King Charles lost both Gothland and Nor-way to Christian of Denmark, with whom the Unionist party


of Sweden entered into secret plots against the king. Invasions and intrigues followed. Christian invaded Smaland, East Gothland and Vermland, to which Charles responded by an invasion of Scania, destroying the old town of Lund with nineteen of its twenty churches, the cathedral alone being spared. Christian took revenge by an invasion of West Gothland, capturing Ldse. An-other Danish army marched through East Gothland, but met defeat at Holaveden through an onslaught made by Swedish peasants. The valiant Tord Bonde, a cousin of King Charles, took the Danes by surprise, recapturing Ldse. An armistice of two years was agreed on, in May, 1453.

In the battle against open and secret enemies things turned out badly for King Charles. The best supporter of his cause, his cousin Tord, was murderedby a Danish traitor in his service, in 1456, and a new and dangerous enemy was encountered in the Church. The king had confiscated to the crown a number of estates which the Church had gained in an illegal way. While preparing for an expedition to (land, and having instructed the archbishop to gather troops for him, Charles learned that this man, Jns Bengtsson Oxenstierna, had turned against him. The archbishop deposited his ecclesiastical robe at the high altar of the Upsala cathedral and started, sword in hand, with his forces to meet the king. Charles tried to surprise him, but was himself caught in a trap and met his enemy on the ice of Lake Maelar. The encounter proved a defeat to Charles, who in haste stored


his treasures in a convent in Stockholm and sailed for Dantzic.

Christian of Denmark was called in by the archbishop and chosen king of Sweden. Christian was a sagacious ruler, but his great need of money, incurred by the redeeming of Schleswig and Holstein, made him unpopular. As the easy-going Christopher had been surnamed “Bark-king,” on account of dearth experienced in Sweden during his reign, when the people had to mix bark with their flour, thus Christian, on account of his avidity, was called “The Bottomless Purse.” During Christian’s war with Russia, the archbishop was commissioned to collect the increased taxes, but failing to do so, to the full extent demanded, he was imprisoned at the command of the king. This caused indignation.

Kettil Karlsson Vasa, a nephew of thearchbishop, and the bishop of Linkping, revolted and defeated the king and his army at Haraker’s church, in Westmanland, in 1464. The victors then marched on Stockholm. The popular opinion of the country demanded the reinstallation of King Charles. The peasants wanted him “because Sweden was of old a kingdom, not a regent’s land or a diocese.” King Charles returned in the same year, but soon left the throne again on account of a conflict with Bishop Kettil. This latter turned to Christian, promising a safe return to the crown if he set free the arch-bishop. Christian immediately did so, the worthy bishops commencing operations against Charles, who, defeated and forsaken by all, abdicated his throne, January 30, 1465. The once upon a time richest man of Sweden


was now deprived of all, Christian having taken his hidden treasures. He retired to Raseborg, a castle in Finland, which after some hesitation was granted him. “We have,” wrote he, “in such manner departed from Sweden, that never longeth us to return thither the third time.” He also complained of his misery in the following strophe of assonance verse :

While I was lord of Fogelwick Then I was both mighty and rich, But since made the king of Svea land I am a poor and unhappy man.

Great confusion reigned in Sweden during the next two years, Bishop Kettil, who styled himself regent, tried to conduct the government in common with the archbishop, but the great nobles did their own pleasure. At last one of them, Ivar Axelson Tott,who had the island of Goth-land in fief, joined the party of Charles, marrying his daughter. His brother, Eric Axelson, was made regent. Nils Bosson Sture had been repeatedly asked to accept this dignity, as also the crown, but he refused. He and Sten Sture, of the original Sture family, who led the army under Bishop Kettil at Haraker, now made possible the second reinstallation of Charles, in 1467, the ambitious archbishop dying in the same year. But Charles was old and weary of the vanities of life, for which he had made so many sacrifices. It was only the valor and strength of the two Stures that made it possible for him to keep the crown and to die in the purple, in 1470. He designated Sten


artistic lines of the Old Chronicle as compared to the New. With the seeds of patriotism were sowed those of national hatred against a foreign foe. That the Dane and not the German was destined to be this national enemy was disastrous to the Union of the North, but probably a gain for the cultural development of Sweden. This period is rich in shorter poems on political men and conditions, all of a strongly democratic flavor. Among these the song about his friend Engelbrekt, by Bishop Thomas of Strengnaes, occupies a high place, but a still higher one the Song of Liberty, by the same high-minded patriot.Transcript for Utah man celebrating wedding anniversary killed in London attack

Florida pulled off a shocker on the recruiting trail this weekend. No, it wasn’t when California native and top-100 quarterback Matt Corral committed on Saturday night. It was, in fact, when Louisiana native JaMarr Chase decided to jump on board with the Gators Sunday night.

On July 3, the talented playmaker was set to announce his commitment to TCU. However, a scheduling issue arose with the NFL Network as Chase stood at the base of the stage at The Opening Finals. Chase did not have a time slot to announce his pledge on television and he walked away that day disappointed without committing.

The other team in the race was LSU. Chase had family members that wanted him to play with the Tigers. LSU has made a strong push toland his commitment this summer in the hopes of keeping the in-star star home.

As Chase saw the television mishap as a sign to wait, Florida was able to convince the talented receiver to visit Gainesville again, something that he last did exactly a year earlier. The trip was enough to land Chase’s pledge as the buzz at Florida’s Friday Night Lights camp was at a fervor pitch.

247Sports rocketed Chase up the recruiting rankings after his showing at The Opening Finals. In a year loaded with elite receivers, Chase is in the top echelon of that group. One with five-star potential as he currently ranks No. 23 in the nation’s by 247Sports.

Chase is silky smooth running his routes, and he explodes out of his breaks to get separation from


a strong desire, to need, to be unable to escape, and can mean just or righteous.

Beyt is the picture of the tent and means the house, the dwelling place, or the physical tent or body, and is the first letter in the Torah that identifies the Son of God.

Tet is the picture of the coiled snake and means to surround, encircle, ensnare or entrap, or to entwine and can be in a good way or a bad way.

The first mystery in the pictographs is that when Boaz reaches out to Ruth, he is with his own hand demonstrating his strong desire to bring her into his house and encircle and entwine her with his protection. He is offering to make her his bride.

There is another mystery here asthe time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

These verses describe the first coming of Messiah, our Goel. We know He is a Goel just as Boaz was because Isaiah tells us that a few verses later in the same passage. In Chapter 59 verse 20 he describes the second coming of Messiah for His people Jacob:

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

The word redeemer here is Goel. He is Yeshua Ha-Mashiach, Jesus the Christ, who is again the Goel of which Boaz was a type.

But why was Tsabat only used in


this one instance with Boaz and Ruth?

Remember, just as Boaz as the redeemer was a type of Yeshua, our Messiah, Ruth as a Moabite was outside the family of Yehovah and is a picture of the Gentiles who by grace may be extended the privilege of becoming a bride of Yeshua.

What was it that Boaz Tsabat or reached in his hand for Ruth to accept? It was the bread. Why is that noteworthy? John, the beloved disciple of Yeshua wrote in his Gospel in Chapter 6 verse 35:

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger.

Luke recorded the words of Yeshua at the Last Supper in Chapter 22 verse 19 as He extended the bread to them andhappened before and it will never happen again. The Messiah Tsabat, or reached out, to those separated from Him those outside His family and offered Himself as the redemption price for us to become His bride. As the pictographs showed us, His strong desire all along has been to encircle you and entwine you into His family. As the perfect Lamb of God He is both willing and able to do so.

We will also takeand longer maybe to the
paleolithic revolution.

Early civilizations were (we think) these slave societies with god kings and
terrible oppression. They had seeds in our natural (even prehuman) instincts
for dominance, status, subordination. But, they were really pathological
worlds where people couldn't thrive. They built institutions like slavery and
priesthood out of the existing "natural" dynamics (say tribal shamans and
chieftains) but most of the brickwork was this clunky new stuff barely holding
together this new way of doing society: slavery, cast hierarchy… When we think
of the "Charles Dickens World" of street urchins, poorhouses, filth and urban
poverty we're seeing people living in a newly constructed industrial world
with cobbled together institutions and culture.

Organic cultural takes time, generations. The alternative is an engineered
culture with its legible, formalizable logic and none of the nuance.

21, she just 19. Making their story even more glamorous, the two young champions were engaged.

As someone who was an obsessive tennis player then, who followed Evert’s every Grand Slam, it’s hard to underestimate how influential she was in the sport, how adored “Chrissie” was. Young girls flooded into tennis, awed by her competitive drive, her strength, and her success. As for Connors, he was the first bad boy of tennis. I often wondered what she saw in him, a tantrum-throwing, foul-mouthed jerk. When their engagement suddenly ended in 1974, I thought, good riddance.

Now Connors has confirmed just how much a jerk he really is. In his new memoir, “The Outsider,” he suggests that the reason he and Evert broke up is because she got pregnant and hadan abortion. There are two things wrong with this. The first being that Evert has never said one way or the other whether she did have an abortion.

As Jessica Luther points out in The Atlantic, Evert has been pretty forthcoming about other private matters in her life, including an affair and two divorces. That she chose not to reveal whether she did have an abortion was her decision, not Connors. The second problem is that Connors never bothered to speak with Evert before he chose to disclose this utterly private and difficult experience. Instead, he took what was her story to tell and used it to serve up controversy and sell books.

The age of the marketplace, where merchants and consumers meet in a centralized location and conduct commerce face-to-face, is slowly becoming a thing of the past. In today's global economy, business is more frequently being conducted using telephones, fax machines, and the Internet. In recent years, use of the Internet as a means for purchasing consumer goods has increased exponentially. Comprehending the magnitude of the Internet on the U.S. economy is most easily summed up by providing a snapshot of recent Internet sales figures. For example, $100 billion was spent on e-commerce in the United States during 2003. The fourth quarter of 2004 alone is expected to produce $22.34 billion in online sales.

The recent pledge of allegiance ceremony to Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been landmark. Many in Saudi society believe that Prince Mohammed resembles his founder father Abdulaziz as he is determined and decisive. He learnt management since his early days thanks to his upbringing in the library belonging to his father, King Salman, which is described as one of the most important libraries in the world. King Salman had obliged all his sons to read one book a week.

When Prince Mohammed became a young man, he learnt management skills during his work in Riyadh. The king wanted him to learn the real skills of management to apply what he learnt in university after he attained a bachelor degree in law. The king realized his son’s knowledgeable and ambitiouscharacteristics, and saw him as having a real plan. He then believed in his son’s talents and realized he could become a distinguished political and administrative figure. He then paved the way for him to work in the rough path of politics, and Prince Mohammed has mastered it.

Prince Mohammed attracted attention from all during his years of work. He did not know defeats, and he strongly and resolutely overcame challenges. The Saudis have now pledged allegiance to him as new crown prince for this promising country with its persistent youth.

Rita Fulciniti put a down payment on a new west-end condo, thinking that home ownership would bring her a little comfort and financial security in her retirement years. Instead, the 66-year-old is living in a homeless shelter, broke, and still chasing the Toronto real estate agent who borrowed her life savings.

In March 2014, Fulciniti's $42,000 down payment was for a second-floor unit in the Vivid Condos on Michael Power Place near Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue. A year later, while the condo was still under construction, Fulciniti learned her potential roommate wouldn't be moving into the building.

I have sleepless nights. I don't know who to turn to, where to go or who to talk to. It's devastating. - Rita Fulciniti

Fulciniti approached Chaim Smilovici — who also goesby the name Howard Smilovici, and was a real estate agent with Adenat Realty at the time — to find a tenant who would help cover the costs of carrying the condo. It was the beginning of her nightmare, she says.

"I have sleepless nights. I don't know who to turn to, where to go or who to talk to. It's devastating." Chaim Smilovici, who also goes by the name Howard Smilovici, borrowed $95,000 from Rita Fulciniti in June 2015, but says he didn't pay her back before she was supposed to close her condo deal, as they had agreed. (Facebook)

Smilovici found her a tenant, but he also asked to borrow $95,000 she had earmarked to help close the condo deal when construction of the building was complete.

In June


lost the condo she had put a down payment on near Bloor Street and Islington Avenue after Smilovici didn't pay back her $95,000 loan and she no longer had the funds to close the deal. (CBC) "I didn't keep her money," he added.

Fulciniti says the real estate agent originally gave her postdated cheques to cover the $1,000 monthly interest on the loan, but even those bounced. Her bank provided her with a notice that there were insufficient funds in Smilovici's account.

Smilovici claims the cheques didn't bounce. He says he put a stop-payment order on them because he was angry that Fulciniti kept calling his office demanding her money.

"She was constantly calling my office. Before you know it, I was canned," said Smilovici. "She owes me peace and quiet."

Smilovici'sformer boss at a RE/MAX agency says he fired the real estate agent in June because Fulciniti wasn't the only one calling the office looking for Smilovici over unpaid money.

She was constantly calling my office, before you know it, I was canned. She owes me peace and quiet. - Howard Smilovici talking about Rita Fulciniti

Reg Fleming says a man who was involved in a car accident with Smilovici claimed the real estate agent assured him he would pay for the damages. When the bill came in, Fleming says, Smilovici denied knowing the man or ever being in an accident.

"All these things affect our reputation. I'm trying to establish a business on a good reputation," RE/MAX manager Reg Fleming told CBC Toronto. "The owner said, 'You got to get


pay her $1,000 a month. When told that might take a decade at that rate, Smilovici replied, "It is what it is" and "you can't get blood from a stone."

Smilovici has few assets to his name, apart from a 2009 Mercedes-Benz. However, he is known to spend time in Boca Raton, Fla., where his wife is registered as the owner of a $118,000 condo purchased in September. She is also registered as the buyer of two condos in the Toronto area. The more recent of those purchases was a unit bought in July for $430,000 at 7460 Bathurst St. in Vaughan.

When asked if he would borrow money from his wife to repay Fulciniti, he replied, "It doesn't work that way."

An employee of Adenat Realty, the agency Smilovici workedfor when he and his company borrowed Fulciniti's life savings, told CBC Toronto: "It has nothing to do with me," then hung up the phone.

Fulciniti said the ordeal has affected her health and she's worried she may spend the rest of her life in the women's shelter.

"I'm nowhere," she said, "after all the hard work I did throughout my life to save that money. I don't have a cent to my name."

Over the course of the last month, while Americans were distracted with the threat of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and the devastation wrought by the Boston bombings, President Obama was quietly working behind the scenes to craft laws and regulations that will further erode the Second Amendment.

Stafford's Opera house gives its final performance

A crowd gathered outside of the historic old opera house, Wednesday as the century old building gave its final performance with a crash of bricks and cloud of white dust.

Terry Spradley St. John News editor

A crowd gathered outside of the historic old opera house, Wednesday as the century old building gave its final performance with a crash of bricks and cloud of white dust.

"I should have sold tickets to this," said Stafford police Chief Doug Brown. "That way we could have used some of the money to pay for the demolition costs."

The old opera house was built circa 1911, on Broadway street just east of the Main business district. German immigrant August Weide organized the Stafford Opera Company in 1910 and thebuilding followed shortly after. It was named the Weide in honor of August's efforts.

In its early days the Weide offered plays by the Morey Stock Company and other traveling shows, hosted graduations, poetry readings and other events.

In 1928 the town newspaper, The Stafford Courier took up residence in the basement and lower level with it's printing presses and reporters desks.

But time and the elements were not on the Weide's side as it past the century mark. Roof damage was only part of the decaying process as the building crumbled with age.

"There were times when you could hear large chunks of plaster falling from the upper story," said Courier editor, David Green. "Once the roof went there wasn't much hope for it."

The city declared the building a hazardous structure


and in 2013 gave the bid for demolition to Stone Sand Company in Great Bend.

There was a grassroots effort to save the building and get it on the historic building records, but the effort failed to come up with the needed capital.

"It's too bad," said Arlene Lickass as the large crane dismantled the walls. "But how much money do you spend on trying to save something like that?"

The large crane pulled down another wall exposing part of the old stage to the crowd that had gathered to watch the demolition.

"Oh, there's the old stage," Lickass said. "That is kind of sad."

Stafford business owner Clare Moore echoed some of the sentiment expressed by Lickass and others in a facebook post the following day. Moore has revived four historic oldwas a member of the school's trophy-winning football team, which also progressed to a national cup final. During a season in the school's under-14 team, El Fitouri's father once stopped him from playing due to declining grades, but he subsequently returned to playing football after his grades improved.

Club career

Manchester City
After leaving school, El Fitouri and two friends joined Manchester City, but all three were subsequently released. El Fitouri spent around a year with the club's youth setup. He was described as a player that could cope physically, but was not the best in the other aspects of the game. He was deemed as a late developer and did not manage to break into the club's first-team squad during his time there.

Salford City
Following his release from Manchester City's youth


system, El Fitouri participated only in recreational football, before joining Salford City after a successful trial in December 2014. On 3 January 2015, he made his first-team debut for the club, in a Division One North tie against Kendal Town that ended 2–1. His debut match would turn out to be his only appearance for the Northern Premier League club. Several weeks prior to the match, the club had sacked incumbent manager, Phil Power. Part-owners Phil Neville and Paul Scholes had stepped in as caretakers for the club during the period, and were impressed with El Fitouri during training and his performance in the match against Kendal Town, prompting the pair to recommend El Fitouri to their former club's under-21 manager, Warren Joyce.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT : The aim of the study was to analyse the use of audience response activities as part of
active learning at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and to map out strategies to
explore the most effective use of audience response technology.
As developer of the audience response system that was used at Stellenbosch
University, I was required to attend lectures to identify problems with the use of the
technology. During these lectures I also identified a lack of pedagogical expertise in
the integration of audience response activities as part of the lesson designs.
Consequently a detailed research study into the pedagogical aspects of the integration
of audience response technology as part of teaching and learning was undertaken.
Audience response technology and the associated learning activities were analysed,
using activity theory as an analytical basis. The study isJermaine -- They Tried to Revive for an Hour

On their third stuido album, Philadelphia's Pink Skull add more members and more songs with vocals, but skimp on the Led Zeppelin jokes.

There was a time, a couple of years ago, when Philadelphia's Pink Skull seemed to be developing their own hybrid of club-music precision and alt-rock sensibility, a sort of parallel to what the DFA bands were working up in New York. The duo of Julian Grefe and Justin Geller had finely honed senses of rhythm, tone, and humor from the get-go; they didn't resort to words very often, but when they did, they were pretty funny. (The previous two Pink Skull albums were called Endless Bummer and Zeppelin 3-- both classic-rock references, notably.)

The designation of the record on appeal included "all minute and docket entries". The minute entries of the trial court disclose that the written judgment was signed on the 19th day of November, 1964. It was filed in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court on the 27th day of November. On the 23rd day of November the defendant filed her motion to vacate *576 judgment and for new trial.

The claim was rejected and within the time allowed by law, and on the 15th day of November, 1962, a suit was filed against the estate seeking a recovery in excess of $25,000.

On the 26th of June, 1964, an amended complaint was filed, this time the prayer specified a sum slightly in excess of $20,000.

Based primarily in New York City, Vera also has offices in Washington, D.C..

It was an age of Shamanism and Magic when the rulers of men had a firm grasp on the psychic forces. Such forces conferred a high survival value on puny naked man living in intimate communion with the dangers of a hostile environment. This form of consciousness has left its mark in the various underground traditions of witchcraft and sorcery. It has also survived in the hands of several aboriginal cultures in which the powers were used to enforce social conformity. The second Pagan aeon arose with a more settled way of life as agriculture and city dwelling began. As more complex forms of thought arose and men moved further away from nature, the knowledge of psychic forces became confused. Gods,


spirits, and superstition uneasily filled the gaps created by loss of natural knowledge and man's expanding awareness of his own mind. The third, or Monotheistic, aeon arose inside of the pagan civilizations and swept their fold form of consciousness away. The experiment begun once in Egypt but failed. It really came into its own with Judaism and later with Christianity and Islam, which were offshoots of this. In the East, Buddhism was the form it took. In the monotheistic aeon men worshiped a singular, idealized form of themselves. The Atheistic aeon arose within Western monotheistic cultures and began to spread throughout the world, although the process is far from complete. It is far from being a mere negation of monotheistic ideas.

would be claiming that his values now are closer to the Liberal Party's values at the time he was elected than those of the Liberal Party now," he said.

Mr Abbott also argued Mr Storer's expulsion from the NXT party was not in accordance with the party's rules and constituted a denial of natural justice.

He was expelled in November 2017 after he tried to take the Senate seat left vacant by Mr Xenophon's return to SA politics.

The influential South Australian politician had chosen his senior adviser Rex Patrick to replace him in Canberra, which Mr Storer claimed was his rightful spot.

"However, I decided that it would be contrary to the best interests of the NXT Party and my own personal interests to become embroiled in a public dispute aboutthe matter," Mr Storer said in court documents obtained by the ABC.

Despite not accepting that he was banished from the party, Mr Storer has since resigned in disgust.

Both Mr Storer and the Commonwealth's legal representative, Solicitor-General Stephen Donaghue QC, have submitted that Ms Kakoschke-Moore's case is untenable.

Her mother was born in Singapore in 1957, at the time classified as a UK colony, which therefore made her a British citizen and her daughter British by descent.

The NXT team member renounced her British citizenship in December last year, just weeks after resigning from the Senate.

greenery. A place of leisure for the ancient drow, where pleasure ships had lazily drifted between enchanted metalwork that sung songs when touched by the breeze. It’d been centuries since those days, though, and now the Flowing Gardens were an eagerly fought-over battleground. The district had both water and food, after all, and the entire thing had been fed lakewater through a complex system of canals and sluice gates: holding those was a sign of power among sigils. My confiscating of Lake Strycht had lowered the waters within until the majority of the sections had become little more than large scummy ponds whose dirty waters were still fought over brutally by the minor sigils occupying the district and its outlying regions. Most members of my ‘allied’ coalition underMighty Jindrich were from there, and my assessment was that the Rumena were going to hit them hard and early to keep them from assembling. Which would draw opportunists from the warlike sigils in the region, making it a beautifully chaotic mess. As a front, it’d been named for what it was going to turn into: a Pit.

The fourth and final front would be in the centre of the city. It would be the slowest to come into being, and at the start wouldn’t even exist. The Rumena Sigil’s territory was to the west, a five large and comparatively rich islands serving as the heartlands of their tribal possessions, but the fight would never get that far. The forces going after Mighty Rumena and its warriors after being


freed from other fronts would pass through the central district of the city, since it was the quickest and easiest path, which meant that was where the ambush would be waiting. It was good grounds, I’d been told, for that kind of fighting. The centre of the city was filled with old temples and administrative complexes, set on a massive plain of solid rock. Every single building was separated from the others by deep grooves carved into the stone, more or less small canals, and the drying of Lake Strycht had turned the place into a labyrinth of bridges and corridors on three separate levels. A good spot for the Rumena to await an enemy force, after they’d devoured the sigils currently occupying it. It’d be hard toIt's arguable the hemp plant has more uses than any other species under broadacre cultivation today.

And at the Jackey's Marsh Forest Festival in northern Tasmania, talk of its potential for profitable and sustainable farming pulls an attentive crowd.

"If you look at Canada, they're producing hemp pastas, hemp milk, hemp cake mixes, hemp breads,"

"And it is known to be incredibly nutritious," Klara Marosszeky says.

Klara Marosszeky is a hemp advocate who is based in the NSW Northern Rivers region and led a hemp masonry building workshop at the 2014 forest festival.

She mentions a range of uses for hemp and its by-products, including building materials, industrial oils, land remediation and biofuel production, in addition to hemp's potential


the Highlands, where reds are most under threat and grey squirrels are being shot on sight by patrols in the Borders.
Bounties have previously been paid in the UK but the system was abandoned in the 1950s because of abuse.

Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Mr Fraser said the smaller population could be wiped out unless action is taken and a bounty of a few pounds per grey should be on offer.

He has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament seeking the backing of fellow MSPs for his proposal.

He said: "Scotland's red squirrel is now under serious threat from a foreign invader.

"Areas such as Perthshire and Angus are now the frontline for the red squirrel and we are seeing their numbers under threat in these areas."

"This is an absolutely ridiculousidea and it would lead to carnage in the countryside"

Advocates for Animals

On the proposal for bounties, he said: "It may seem like a drastic step, but the seriousness of the current situation cannot be underestimated.

"Paying bounties to gamekeepers and others to eradicate the grey squirrel in areas where they threaten red squirrels would be a positive and imaginative step to try and tackle this serious issue."

Ross Minett, director of Advocates for Animals, said: "This is an absolutely ridiculous idea and it would lead to carnage in the countryside with every man and his dog out to raise cash from the killing of squirrels.

"Mr Fraser obviously hasn't studied ecology because if he had he would realise that the grey squirrel is here to stay and killing them in


"trap the greys" day, the trapped squirrels could be sorted, the reds caught released, and the greys humanely killed for fur (to avoid the entire country out in the woods shooting each other)... some wealth would be produced, and the grey population would be drastically curtailed. Repeating this in a month, and again in 2 months, would probably all but eliminate them.

It's worth a try...

Hands off the adorable gray squirrels, you despicable barbarians in Great Britain ! The real reason you barbarians kill those beautiful-in-and-out animals is your animosity toward the American people. You barbarians consider those valuable animals the AMERICAN INVASION!

The argument of gray squirrels being nonnative to the Great Britain is TOTALLY IRRELATIVE – gray squirrels have existed in that country for around 130 years!!!explicit or implicit.

The second aspect is that the mass-murder is GOVERNMENT SPONSORED, including by that royal parasite prince Charles. He dared even try to score some ethicality points by this disgraceful occasion, by having proclaimed that he killed the gray squirrels at his estate HUMANELY!

All you've got is opinions based on emotion:

1. The Indians never over-hunted. Never. Of all peoples in the Americas, they had the most elevated sense of harmony with nature.

2. Grey squirrels in the UK are legally classified as vermin based on their ecological damage. Not because they are 'American'. There are many enlightened, kind, educated and logical Americans. Learn from them.

3. The Royal family form no part of British government. The Queen is the constitutional head of state - a ceremonial role in all

(Dan McCurry)

CLEVELAND, Ohio — "The second I walked in the producer comes up to us and asked, 'Hey are you guys going to grab a drink?'" local actor Dan McCurry said.

McCurry, 26, is in the process of becoming a full-time actor and credits his audition video about loving LeBron James for landing a spot on a locally filmed episode of Comedy Central's Drunk History.

Drunk History, and the show's creator/host Derek Waters, announced on social media that it would be at The Euclid Tavern/Happy Dog in Uptown Jan. 12. After some back and forth with the show's producer, McCurry went into the basement while Clevelanders upstairs watched Ohio State's national championship victory.

The season 3 premiere date has not been announced, but when McCurry watches the episode he said he knows he'll be crying laughing.

McCurry has made appearances in "Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice (Warner Bros. 2016) and "Cleveland Abduction" (Sony Pictures Television 2015) which is a film about The Kidnappings of Ariel Castro, as his "Neighbor."


losses at this figure. The CAG's estimate of the coal block losses were Rs 1,86,000 crore. Assuming the states were responsible for even half the loss, the Congress contribution would be Rs 93,000 crore, since the coal ministry was directly under PM Manmohan Singh. As for 2G, the lowest loss estimate by the CAG was Rs 57,666 crore. So even without taking the hyped-up figure of Rs 1,76,000 crore into account, the loss caused by the Gandhi family in allowing A Raja to run his own scam would be at least this amount. Together, the Coalgate and 2G losses attributable to the Gandhi family's political misadventures would be Rs 1,50,000 crore.

During implementation of the present invention, the inventor finds at least the following problem in the prior art: The substrate is bent at certain parts due to gravity of the substrate and component or distortion of the substrate. Therefore, during plastic injection on the first surface, the second surface of the part to be encapsulated with plastic needs to reserve a large room for support to help support the mold and prevent local bending or distortion of the substrate. The large room for support occupies a layout space on the component. Nevertheless, The space of the support plane is insufficient, and the substrate still suffers inevitable distortion possibility. To
