this meddlesome Englishman, this
accursed Scarlet Pimpernel. He won't get through my gate,
morbleu! unless he be the devil himself. But Grospierre was a fool.
The market carts were going through the gates; there was one laden
with casks, and driven by an old man, with a boy beside him.
Grospierre was a bit drunk, but he thought himself very clever; he
looked into the casks--most of them, at least--and saw they were
empty, and let the cart go through."

A murmur of wrath and contempt went round the group of
ill-clad wretches, who crowded round Citoyen Bibot.

"Half an hour later," continued the sergeant, "up comes a
captain of the guard with a squad of some dozen soldiers with him.
`Has a car gone through?' he asks of Grospierre, breathlessly. `Yes,'
says Grospierre, `not half an hour ago.' `And youfolly!"

"He deserved his fate!"

"Fancy not examining those casks properly!"

But these sallies seemed to amuse Citoyen Bibot exceedingly;
he laughed until his sides ached, and the tears streamed down his
cheeks.

"Nay, nay!" he said at last, "those aristos weren't in the
cart; the driver was not the Scarlet Pimpernel!"

"What?"

"No! The captain of the guard was that damned Englishman
in disguise, and everyone of his soldiers aristos!"
The crowd this time said nothing: the story certainly savoured
of the supernatural, and though the Republic had abolished God, it had
not quite succeeded in killing the fear of the supernatural in the
hearts of the people. Truly that Englishman must be the devil himself.

The sun was sinking low down in the west. Bibot prepared himself
to close the gates.

"En avant The carts," he said.

Some dozen covered carts were drawn up


in a row, ready to
leave town, in order to fetch the produce from the country close by,
for market the next morning. They were mostly well known to Bibot,
as they went through his gate twice every day on their way to and from
the town. He spoke to one or two of their drivers--mostly women--and
was at great pains to examine the inside of the carts.

"You never know," he would say, "and I'm not going to be
caught like that fool Grospierre."

The women who drove the carts usually spent their day on the
Place de la Greve, beneath the platform of the guillotine, knitting
and gossiping, whilst they watched the rows of tumbrils arriving with
the victims the Reign of Terror claimed every day. It was great fun
to see the aristos arriving for the receptionof Madame la Guillotine,
and the places close by the platform were very much sought after.
Bibot, during the day, had been on duty on the Place. He recognized
most of the old hats, "tricotteuses," as they were called, who sat there
and knitted, whilst head after head fell beneath the knife, and they
themselves got quite bespattered with the blood of those cursed aristos.

"He! la mere!" said Bibot to one of these horrible hags,
"what have you got there?"

He had seen her earlier in the day, with her knitting and the
whip of her cart close beside her. Now she had fastened a row of
curly locks to the whip handle, all colours, from gold to silver, fair
to dark, and she stroked them with her huge, bony fingers as she
laughed at Bibot.

"I made friends with


Madame Guillotine's lover," she said with
a coarse laugh, "he cut these off for me from the heads as they rolled
down. He has promised me some more to-morrow, but I don't know if I
shall be at my usual place."

"Ah! how is that, la mere?" asked Bibot, who, hardened soldier that
he was, could not help shuddering at the awful loathsomeness of this
semblance of a woman, with her ghastly trophy on the handle of her whip.

"My grandson has got the small-pox," she said with a jerk of
her thumb towards the inside of her cart, "some say it's the plague!
If it is, I sha'n't be allowed to come into Paris to-morrow."
At the first mention of the word small-pox, Bibot had stepped
hastily backwards, and when the old hag spoke of the plague,
he retreatedfrom her as fast as he could.

"Curse you!" he muttered, whilst the whole crowd hastily
avoided the cart, leaving it standing all alone in the midst of the
place.

The old hag laughed.

"Curse you, citoyen, for being a coward," she said. "Bah!
what a man to be afraid of sickness."

"Morbleu! the plague!"

Everyone was awe-struck and silent, filled with horror for the
loathsome malady, the one thing which still had the power to arouse
terror and disgust in these savage, brutalised creatures.

"Get out with you and with your plague-stricken brood!"
shouted Bibot, hoarsely.

And with another rough laugh and coarse jest, the old hag
whipped up her lean nag and drove her cart out of the gate.

This incident had spoilt the afternoon. The people were
terrified of these two horrible curses, the two maladies which nothing
could cure, and which

The death of the only man in comics as iconic as his super-powered heroes, Stan Lee, has brought out heartfelt tributes from those to whom he was more than the creator of Spider Man and the Hulk.

Many of the world's most successful people revealed their vulnerabilities as they thanked Lee, who died at the age of 95 on Monday, for creating the stories and characters that helped them through the toughest parts of their lives.

The other important change to the Rent Ordinance would be to protect families with children from owner move-in evictions during the school year. An owner could still evict a family, but the family would not have to disrupt their children’s education and could wait until the summer to relocate. San Francisco has had such protections for renter families for many years.

OMI evictions in Berkeley doubled between 2013 and 2014.When Berkeley voters passed “Measure Y” in November 2000, they also voted to have the Rent Board monitor such evictions. Recently, the Rent Board won an important court victory (see http://berkeleytenants.org/?p=1386)


Update: Councilman calls on city to pay back drivers wrongfully given parking tickets by NYPD

Are you one of the tens of thousands of New Yorkers who has been ripped off for millions of dollars by the NYPD writing parking tickets they shouldn't have?

Tickets were written for years for a law that no longer exists, and can tickets cost motorists up to $165.

New York City Councilman Vincent Gentile says that he's in talks with the city's Finance Department and Comptroller Scott Stringer to figure out if there is a way to get wrongfully ticketed New Yorkers their money back.

When Jane Kelly saw the orange summons on her car window, she didn't even know what to do with it. "I had never gotten a ticket for parking before," Kelly said.

Kelly,in her early 90s, knew she didn't deserve this one. She had parked in front of a pedestrian ramp on Shore Road in Bay Ridge, but not at a crosswalk.

In New York City, it is not against the rules to park in front of a sidewalk pedestrian ramp, provided that it's not connected to a crosswalk. It needs to be at a T shaped intersection, with no stop light or stop sign, and no crosswalk.

So she appealed. "They couldn't find any sign that said "no parking" but they still charged me the full amount," said Kelly, who ended up paying the ticket.

She is just like thousands of others, all of whom were innocent -- maybe $12 million in summonses that should never have been issued.

cell line for research is its immortality; the cells can be grown indefinitely in culture. This simplifies analysis of the biology of cells which may otherwise have a limited lifetime.

Immortalised cell lines can also be cloned giving rise to a clonal population which can, in turn, be propagated indefinitely. This allows an analysis to be repeated many times on genetically identical cells, which is desirable for repeatable scientific experiments. The alternative, performing an analysis on primary cells from multiple tissue donors, does not have this advantage.

Immortalised cell lines find use in biotechnology, where they are a cost-effective way of growing cells similar to those found in a multicellular organism in vitro. The cells are used for a wide variety of purposes, from testing toxicity of compounds or drugsWashington (CNN) With the end of the U.S. arms embargo , Vietnam will join a long list of international recipients of American armaments.

The U.S. is responsible for nearly 33% of worldwide exports -- by far the top arms exporter on the planet -- but which countries does the U.S. sell the most weapons to?

Saudi Arabia was the top recipient of American-made arms from 2011-2015, followed closely by the United Arab Emirates, according to research compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which has been analyzing international arms transfers since 1968.

The rest of the top 10 included Turkey, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Iraq, and Egypt.

Experts believe the Middle East will remain a top destination for weapons for some time -- it currently accounts for about


40% of U.S. arms exports -- especially given the rise of ISIS

"The dynamic of the [falling] oil prices has been overwhelmed by the deep insecurity these countries are currently feeling and the insecure future they feel they face," Andrew Hunter of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told CNN.

Hunter, the director of the defense-industrial initiatives group, said that the countries in the region were "prioritizing defense" over other spending.

The American exports include everything from small arms to fighter jet aircraft and tanks, to Patriot Missile batteries.

Several Asian countries are also represented high up on the arms sales list, reflecting ongoing tensions with North Korea over its nuclear and missile programs and China's stepped up military activity in the South China Sea.

The tightening of U.S.-Vietnam relations comes asVietnam has protested China's actions in its nearby waters, including an incident where China stationed an oil rig in disputed waters off of Vietnam's coast in 2014 , an event that sparked anti-China riots in Vietnam.

The day after the US. announced it would lift its arms embargo against Vietnam, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that Vietnam needs the military equipment it will get in order to defend itself.

While most of the top importers use their own money to buy arms from the U.S., the U.S. also provides some countries with grants and loans -- separate from the arms sales -- to purchase defense equipment from American manufacturers, as part of a program called Foreign Military Financing.

The State Department's 2017 budget request includes approximately $5.7 billion for


Foreign Military Financing.

In the proposed budget, the top five recipients of American foreign military financing will be Israel ($3.1 billion), Egypt ($1.3 billion) , Jordan ($350 million), Pakistan ($265 million), and Iraq ($150 million).

While Israel is supposed to spend this money on U.S. arms, some of that country's most expensive purchases, like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, have yet to be delivered and are therefore not reflected in SIPRI's statistics.

While the Middle East tops the list, funding for African armies in 2017 will more than double from last year, likely a consequence of increased terrorist activity in places like Mali, Somalia, and Nigeria.

Hunter said that U.S. defense companies were explicit in their desire to boost international exports in the wake of recent defense budget cuts.

At a media dayevent in March, the CEO of U.S. defense giant Lockheed Martin, Marillyn Hewson, said, "One area where we expect the majority of our growth potential to come from in the years ahead is our international customers."

Other major arms exporters after the U.S. include Russia, China, France, and Germany.

While Hunter said Russia will always have a market for its "cheaper" arms exports to countries that are accustomed to Soviet-era weaponry, he sees China as being increasingly active in the international market.

China has upped its share of global arms exports by over 60% compared to the 2006-2010 period, according to SIPRI.

One area where China has been particularly active is drone technology, with reports of China exporting drones to Nigeria, Iraq, and Pakistan.

He added that China was facing challenges to growing


poverty joined co-founder and presenter, Ross Ashcroft on this week’s episode of Renegade Inc to discuss how we got here and how we begin to redress the balance.

“At theHormonal Eligibility Criteria for 'Includes Females' Competition: A Practical but Problematic Solution.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) adopted testosterone level criteria for eligibility (i.e. 10 nmol/l or 290 ng/dl in blood for IAAF, levels 'within the male range' for IOC) to compete in the 'includes females' category. The policies address the assertion that women with very high endogenous testosterone (unless they are androgen-resistant) have an unfair advantage over women with lower natural levels. Recently, the Court of Arbitration for Sport suspended the 'hyperandrogenism regulation' by the IAAF, but added: 'since there are separate categories of male and female competition, it is necessary for the IAAF to formulate a basis for the division of athletes into male and female categories for the

They were once just tiny turtles living in a fishbowl in the movie, Rocky. Now these two are full-grown and long living actors who enjoy their days with one of the world’s most iconic film stars.

The two movie star turtles were originally adopted by Sylvester Stallone after the filming of Rocky was over.

The amphibious pair had been his turtles in the movie as well, so this is one of those instances when life on the screen had a chance to become real life as well.

It’s like it was meant to be.

The stardom of Cuff and Link

In the movie, Rocky Balboa would go to the


J&M Tropical Fish pet store to get food and other items for his two pet turtles, Cuff and Link. It was there that a budding romance with Adrian Pennino, who was working at the shop, would begin.

The turtles gave him an excuse to visit and ended up being a way for the two to bond. Eventually, their love would grow into something real and would move beyond the pet shop – all thanks to the two aquatic pets that helped to open the door to the romance.

But Showalter, 56, does have a soft side for Sader, Webster, Jasper and Opie — four floppy-eared basset hounds he and his wife, Angela, shuttle between their countryside home in northern Baltimore County and their off-season house in Texas. When Showalter's lounging at home, each dog takes a turn napping on his lap. He even keeps "animal crackers" in his office for them.

Various enclosures, such as airplane hangers, spray painting booths, and the like, are configured with fire suppression systems. These fire suppression systems typically include fire fighting liquids such as water or foam. Upon activation of the fire suppression systems, the fire fighting liquids are released into the enclosure. Often the volume of the fire fighting liquids results in outflow of the liquids from the enclosure.
The flow of fire fighting liquids out of an enclosure creates various hazards. The possibility of spreading toxic chemicals, resulting from a fire, outside of an enclosure is of great concern. Also, fire fighting liquids which are designed to smother the oxygen of fires may escape into sewer systems adjacent the enclosure and prevent proper biologic action of waste products due to similar oxygenTillman is fifth in the NFL in interceptions since he entered the league, but that seems minor to everything else he's done in his life.

In England's Churches, Boom In New Recruits Changes Nature Of The Clergy

England has seen a boom in young men enrolling in the clergy. The phenomenon has been happening for a decade, so it's not a reflection of the new pope.

MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:

The U.K. is not a very religious country, so a surprising trend has caught people's attention. More and more young people in Britain are enrolling in the priesthood. NPR's Ari Shapiro reports on what's inspiring that choice.

ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: When Nate Leveritt told his parents that he wanted to be a priest in the Church of England, he admits they were taken aback.

NATE LEVERITT: I think they see me as quite a wildcard, and so they were surprised that I stuck it out in the church andactually was really passionate about being there and wanting to be involved.

SHAPIRO: Leveritt is 22. He's spending this year as a sort of apprentice at a church in a poor part of East London. When we met him, he was wearing a hoodie, a denim jacket and slim black jeans - more casual than the typical vicar.

LEVERITT: I wasn't very similar to many of the other people my age at church. I had a lot of different interests, and my clothing style was different. And I want to see people like me to be attracted to church as well.

SHAPIRO: Leveritt's mentor and guide for this program is Reverend Jane Hodges. She's been a vicar at this church for five years.

JANE HODGES: Really, the idea is that young people


England and Wales. The numbers have been going up in both the Church of England and the Catholic Church.

JAMISON: We'd be talking about moving from in the year 2001 about 22 men entering our seminaries to in the year 2010 over 50 entering.

SHAPIRO: For Catholics, this increase has been pretty steady over the last three popes. The numbers are still much lower than they were at their peak. The church used to get well over 100 new recruits every year, and not everybody who enrolls in the seminary makes it all the way to the priesthood. This increase in young priests is also changing the nature of the clergy.

Washington (CNN) Just hours before the third Republican debate, Jeb Bush's campaign released a hard-hitting video against one of his rivals, but it's not someone who will be on the stage Wednesday night.

The highly-produced video goes after Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, portraying her as a "third-term Obama," with ominous music playing in the background.

Video of trash on the ground, homelessness and smoke in the air are just some of the images that are seen while juxtaposed with footage from Clinton in the Democratic debate.

The 1:45 minute video, "Failed Agenda, " shows a clip of Clinton giving Obama the letter grade of "A" and praising the executive action he's taken on immigration, vowing, as she did in the debate, to go even "further" on the issue.

The UK's fifth biggest food retailer and its largest mutual business, the Co-op took the step as an extension of its existing policy which had been not to source produce from illegal settlements that have been built on Palestinian territories in the West bank.

Now the retail and insurance giant has taken it one step further by "no longer engaging with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements".

The decision will hit four companies and contracts worth some £350,000. But the Co-op stresses this is not an Israeli boycott and that its contracts will go to other companies inside Israel that can guarantee


they don't export from illegal settlements.

Welcoming the move, Palestinian human rights campaigners said it was the first time a supermarket anywhere in the west had taken such a position.

The Co-op's decision will immediately affect four suppliers, Agrexco, Arava Export Growers, Adafresh and Mehadrin, Israel's largest agricultural export company. Other companies may be affected by the policy.

Hilary Smith, Co-op member and Boycott Israel Network (BIN) agricultural trade campaign co-ordinator, said the Co-op "has taken the lead internationally in this historic decision to hold corporations to account for complicity in Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights We strongly urge other retailers to take similar action."

A spokesperson for the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees, which works to improve the conditions of Palestinian agricultural communities, said: "Israeli agricultural export companies likead had been placed by Leonard Lawrence, advertising space for rent in a building at 1038 North Dearborn, Chicago. Miss Reyna met with Lawrence, examined the premises and discussed the possibility of opening a restaurant there. She had been in the restaurant business for ten years and was presently operating the Mexico Lindo Restaurant on North Clark Street. She was looking for a larger area in which to open a Mexican restaurant in a better neighborhood. Lawrence believed that a continental restaurant would be more successful at this location and proposed that Curtis Clark, a Chef, be brought in to take care of the continental end of it.
During December, 1960, Miss Reyna had meetings with Lawrence, representatives of Vision Associates, architects, and her attorney in respect to the


architects, to prepare plans and specifications for such alterations and improvements and to direct and supervise the same, Lessor hereby agrees to accept all plans and specifications for such alterations and improvements of said premises finally submitted by Vision Associates and accepted by Lessee, provided they do not conflict with or violate any ordinances of the City of Chicago and have been duly approved by the Building Department of the City of Chicago. The cost of all said alterations and improvements shall be borne by and paid for by Lessee. However, the Lessor agrees to make the following alterations and improvements to the outside of the building premises, pursuant to plans and specifications prepared by Vision Associates, architects, at its own expense:

"(1) remove all north and south wallsand off the job through February and March. The plans continued to be revised by Vision Associates.
About the middle of March, when little of the contemplated work had been completed and the bids were still too high, Miss Reyna began to talk to Mr. Lawrence about getting out of the lease. There was testimony that she wanted to buy out, that Lawrence refused and that he attempted to secure another lessee to take over the lease. Towards the end of March both Miss Reyna and Vision Associates came up with the idea of reducing the size of the restaurant and arriving at a total cost which would be within reach. Lawrence testified that Miss Reyna was enthusiastic about proceeding at this period. The architect from Vision Associates testified


performance was brought against Miss Reyna by the bank as trustee. She counterclaimed against Mr. Lawrence for misrepresentation, and counterclaimed against the bank in its corporate capacity, for the misrepresentation contained in its letter of April 11, in the event that Lawrence be found to be the authorized agent of the bank, as trustee.
During the course of the trial the affidavit of Edward Lucius was admitted. This affidavit stated that Leonard Lawrence was the duly authorized agent of the bank as Trustee on December 29, 1960, and for a long time previously. The affidavit went on to say that Leonard Lawrence had the authority to enter into the lease with Miss Reyna in the bank's name and also to bring the suit for specific performance in the bank'sname. Mr. H.L. Marcus testified during the course of the trial. Mr. Marcus was a former president of the Southmoor Bank; he was also one of the two stated beneficiaries of the trust in question, along with Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Marcus testified that in his capacity as member of the trust committee of the bank, he gave Mr. Skalitsky, former trust officer of the bank, oral instructions that Mr. Lawrence was to be sole leasing agent for the trust. No written memorandum was preserved and Mr. Skalitsky neglected to pass the information on to his successor Mr. Lucius.
At the conclusion of the case the court found that the lease is valid and binding; that the charges of fraud *421 against Mr. Lawrence were not sustained. The court found


the project. Lawrence did not hold himself out as a cost expert, nor did he have control over the estimates of Vision Associates or Samuel Kaye Construction Company. The evidence does not show that he lost interest in forming a corporation but on the contrary he signed the corporate charter petition. Mr. Lawrence did all within his power to settle a stable tenant in his building.
Miss Reyna was not estopped from inquiring into Mr. Lawrence's authority to sign the lease nor from repudiating the lease when no authority was found. The doctrine of worthier title has no application here. Miss Reyna is not contending that the bank, with whom she thought she entered into a lease, did not own the building. She is merely claiming that she hasfor the Guidance of Others" reads:
"One who in the course of his business or profession supplies information for the guidance of others in their business transactions is subject to liability for harm caused to them by their reliance upon the information if
(a) he fails to exercise that care and competence in obtaining and communicating the information which its recipient is justified in expecting, and
(b) the harm is suffered
(i) by the person or one of the class of persons for whose guidance the information was supplied, and
(ii) because of his justifiable reliance upon it in a transaction in which it was intended to influence his conduct or in a transaction substantially identical therewith."
The information supplied by the bank was in the course of its business in response to an


on. The meeting on *424 April 7, 8, or 9 showed no rupture in relations but only an attempt by Miss Reyna's new attorney to reform the lease for her benefit. It was clear at the time of this meeting that Miss Reyna considered Lawrence's statements concerning the adequacy of the heating and toilets as misrepresentations.
At the time the bank's letter was sent Miss Reyna was not in breach of any provision under the lease. No rent was due and payable; no performance deadline had passed. Miss Reyna had not accepted the earlier estimates of Vision Associates and she was under no obligation under the lease to accept estimates which did not reflect the original intentions and directions of the parties. All the construction work which had beenfavor of Reyna and against the Bank as Trustee. I think that the judgment in favor of the Bank as Trustee and against Reyna for $30,676.69 should be affirmed.
Reyna negotiated for a lease with the Bank as Trustee. She is an experienced business woman. She had the advice of able and experienced counsel. Lawrence had authority to represent the Bank as Trustee in negotiating and executing the lease. This landlord was at all times ready, able and willing to carry out the terms of the lease. She engaged the architect and contractor. The trial judge found that the lease was valid and binding and that there was no fraud. These findings are strongly supported by the record. I cannot understand how the majority opinion can absolve Reyna from

Taking a pause from the political scene, I’m coming down from the high felt all last week as a new president took command of these United States. I had a family of four staying all week, reminding me through thoughts and deeds what dear friends they are and how lucky we are who have friends that enrich our lives.

A mother and father with two daughters, one in college (Princeton, yahoo!) and the other, a graduate with a year of teaching in Korea under her belt, now looking to grad school for the next stage in life.

The Motown band and singers were great, really getting people into the dancing mood. Cheryl Crow was next, the first time in a ball gown she said, bubbling over with enthusiasm for the day and singing her heart out. They made her stop a bit early to set up for the presidential party and a laugh flowed through the room at the little man who put out the US flag and the other flags, first one for the VP and then for POTUS. As he set up the flags, he took extra time with each to make sure the emblem showed properly, something everyone of the thousands (seemingly) in the room appreciated later when snapping photos.

The presidential party was over an hour late, but again it was wellworth it to share in the day of celebration, first with Joe Biden and wife and then President Obama and Michele. The Coast Guard band had been set up earlier, playing “Hail to the Chief” when Obama came out, and the room cheered and cheered. I was lucky enough to be close to the front and could see the President was obviously tired. He spoke of the “heartland” and how he represented all of the people and then turned to Michele for their dance. Very affectionate toward each other, they slowly twirled around the stage and seemingly enjoyed their few minutes with us.

They left…we all made a mad dash to secure coats and leave. It was humerous to watch the hundreds of women, now shoeless- highheels getting the


better of them, stop to put their shoes back on at the front entrance. The groans could be heard and laughter broke out as one man, with his date on his back, holding her heels in hand, made a sprint toward the Metro.

We walked slowly, made one last attempt at a dash across a street as green light turned to red and heard the sounds of motorcycles. We turned and watched as the Presidential motorcade came through. Five feet from us, we waved as first the VP came by and then POTUS and Michele – all who were gracious enough to wave back at us. A most satisfactory and unforgettable evening indeed!

On 25 July 2007 the then Defence Secretary Des Browne, announced the order for two new carriers.[11] At the time of approval the first carrier was expected to enter service in July 2015 and the budget was £4,085m for two ships.[12] The financial crisis led to a political decision in December 2008 to slow production, delaying Queen Elizabeth until May 2016. This decision alone added £1,560m to the cost.[12] By March 2010 the budget was estimated at £5,900m[12] and in November 2013 the contract was renegotiated with a budget of £6,200m.[13] The in-service date was further extended to 2020 in the Strategic Defence and Security Review in October 2010.[14]

Travelling 600 miles (970 km) around the northern coast of Scotland, the block arrived at Rosyth on the evening of 20 August 2011.[18] On the 28 October 2012 an 11,000-tonne section of the carrierbegan a lengthy journey around the south coast of England (to avoid bad weather) from the shipbuilding hall at Govan, to the Rosyth dockyard; it arrived on 21 November.[19] Her forward island was built at BAE Portsmouth and attached on 14 March 2013; the aft island was attached in June 2013. The ski jump was added in November 2013,[6] leaving just the elevators and radar to be lifted into place.[6] As of September 2013[update]Queen Elizabeth was 80% complete internally.[7]

Zork: Grand Inquisitor is designed to offer the engaging adventure and quirky humor of the classic text-based series in a graphic interface format more appropriate to a late-1990s release. The game has a look and interface style similar to 1996's Zork Nemesis. However unlike Zork Nemesis, which put a hard, violent edge on the storyline, Zork: Grand Inquisitor strives to return to the tongue-in-cheek presentation that helped win so many devoted fans of the original games.

Players are challenged to explore fantastic areas and solve thoughtful puzzles, without any incessantly dark themes or explicit gore. In this story the Grand Inquisitor has taken charge in the capital city of Port Foozle, in spite of his dubious qualifications. He has banned the use of magic and begun an invasively ubiquitousworth the effort.

Emotions cannot, of course, explain everything. And there are plenty of ways in which the process discussed above might be clarified. In the case of the recent protests in Turkey, for example, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been playing on a number of emotions he assumes the public holds, including pride, anger at foreign influence, suspicion of provocateurs, fear of instability, contentment with economic growth, and more. But his party, the AKP, was elected in 2011 with just under 50% of the popular vote; and many different segments of the population have come out in support of the demonstrations, including some from his own voting base. Yet in his public speeches, Erdoğan has tried to reflect what he contends is the popular emotional will, emphasizing


Wheelchair lifts of the type installed in the stairwells of transit vehicles, such as city buses, are well-known. One type of wheelchair lift commonly referred to as a "step lift," is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,466,771 to Thorley et al. (the '771 patent). Another type of wheelchair lift, commonly referred to as a "platform lift," is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,058,228 to Hall (the '228 patent).
Both wheelchair step lifts and platform lifts typically include a wheelchair platform that is movable from a lowered position in which the wheelchair platform lies adjacent the sidewalk or ground to a raised position in which the wheelchair platform lies in the same plane as the aisle way of the bus, train, or other vehicle on which the lift is mounted.Organic Act of 1954, ch. 558, 68 Stat. 497 (1954) (codified as amended at 48 U.S.C. §§ 1541-1645 (1982 and Supp.1994)), to extend the principles of federalism to the judicial system of this Territory.

If you look at it that way, it was something men always, probably, secretly wanted-- women just made it easier for them, by outright asking for "sexual liberation."

I believe it was on this website there's a history of marriage, which indicates that after the Victorian era, when women's sexuality was basically put into sociological lockdown, married men started looking for prostitutes rather than their wives for sex? (which I'm sure helped proliferate a prostitution industry or two as well...)

To fight for sexual liberation was maybe almost...overly optimistic? As it seems to have been founded on an (unspoken) presumption that men are equally as interested in long-term romance as women. Or at least the women fighting it...to idealize oneA judge sentenced cannabis activist Billy Hayes to two years in prison on Friday for his role in two medical-marijuana businesses.

Hayes, 40, is a hero to those who oppose monopolistic practices and tight restrictions in the marijuana industry, and was the subject of a November 2014 feature story in New Times . About 40 friends and family members showed up to support him at the morning hearing, a crowd that included other activists, cannabis-industry workers, a dispensary owner, Jason Medar of the grassroots legalization group Arizonans for Mindful Regulation, and Mickey Jones of Relegalize All Drugs.

For nearly two years, Hayes had fought a raft of charges related to his 2012 and 2013 business ventures. In 2014, he turned down a plea deal that would have put him behind


bars for between 3 and 12.5 years.

But in March, Hayes took a new deal after his defenses proved unsuccessful. He pleaded guilty to three counts in two cases, including one count of possession of narcotics for sale, one count of possession of marijuana for sale, and one count of misconduct with weapons. The latest plea deal with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office called for a minimum two-year sentence. Superior Court Judge Carolyn Passamonte could have given him more time, so tension at the hearing was high.

Hayes' wife, Starr, a hairdresser, was in tears for much of the proceeding. Hayes, who has been free on bail, was dressed in slacks, a blue dress shirt, and a tie. Husband and wife held each other close, knowing Hayes would soon bewhisked off to prison. Their two young daughters were at home with Starr's mother. Before Passamonte entered the courtroom, Hayes told New Times it was "rough" that he couldn't use the defense arguments he wanted, and that officials still didn't seem to be interpreting the 2010 Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA) correctly. He admitted that his businesses pushed the envelope in terms of what was allowed under the law.

"Absolutely," he said. "And I would push it again."

When former Governor Jan Brewer canceled the dispensary system voters enacted in 2010, Hayes helped open Arizona's first compassion clubs, where patients could make a donation and pick up "free" weed from other patients. When dispensaries finally opened in 2013, he opened the Cannabis Spot Vapor Lounge in Phoenix, a place where


patients could hang out, smoke, or obtain marijuana through a special raffle system he'd devised. He has sued the federal government, unsuccessfully, to rid the AMMA of a rule that stops patients from growing their own marijuana if there's an operating dispensary within 25 miles.

One of his business operations, Arizona Cannabis Society of El Mirage, cultivated marijuana and provided it to qualified patients. Hayes said he's proud of his work making tinctures for the late Zander Welton, a boy who suffered from extreme seizures and whose health care became a matter of law and public debate.

County Attorney Bill Montgomery and other prosecutors around the state had declared that extracts of marijuana, including hashish to make tinctures, remained a serious felony despite the AMMA. With the parents of theand made them eligible to have their felonies reduced to misdemeanors. Ironically, ACS became a state-authorized medical-marijuana dispensary in 2014, and now sells cannabis legally without fear of a raid.

Hayes wasn't eligible for probation because he has a criminal record. He has been arrested several times for marijuana offenses, and in 2003 served eight months in prison for failing to adhere to probation requirements in one of his pot cases. Born and raised in Detroit, where he was shot at age 14 and stabbed, Hayes was also busted for car theft at age 19.

Judge Passamonte didn't see anything too egregious in Hayes' past. She said the mitigating factors in the case, including his minimal record and support from others, outweighed the one aggravating factor of committing crime for


financial gain.

Hayes was represented by attorney Tom Dean for Cannabis Spot and attorney Jason Rosell for ACS. Dean, a pro-cannabis activist himself, became friends with Hayes in the past few years and they occasionally collaborated in writing court motions for Hayes. From the birth of Arizona's medical-pot law, Hayes and others had argued that the AMMA could be interpreted to legalize patient-to-patient sales. Several owners of cannabis clubs tried to use the defense but accepted plea deals in their cases rather than take their chances with a jury trial. Hayes, though, facing up to 12 and a half years in prison, was prepared — with Dean — to argue in front of a jury that the sales at ACS and Cannabis Spot were legal.

Hopes that Hayes would getoff scot-free were bolstered in July 2014, when a Pima County judge tossed out the charges against a marijuana dealer, ruling in favor of patient-to-patient sales. But the Arizona Court of Appeals spoiled that defense, declaring in a 3-0 ruling in May 2015 that the law doesn't allow patient-to-patient sales, and that if it did, it would provide "incentive to embark on a sales enterprise."

Dean gave his own "personal testimony" at Friday's hearing.

"Judge, sometimes there's a case that's an exception and deserves mitigated sentencing. That's this case," he said, describing Hayes as having a "compassionate nature."

Hayes became wrapped up in the confusion after the law's passage, and believed firmly that he wasn't breaking the law, Dean said. Hayes' crimes occurred before he had the benefit of knowing how


the appeals court would be decided, he said, and if the issue involved interpretations that judges and lawyers could disagree on, it would be unfair to punish a layperson like Hayes too harshly.

Rosell also spoke, saying that Hayes' prior marijuana offenses involved medical marijuana. Hayes has several medical issues marijuana helps with, he said. As previously reported, Hayes has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and suffers from pain from his old injuries.

"He's been part of championing the movement," Rosell said. "Billy's intentions were true."

Hayes' wife informed Passamonte that the couple will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. Hayes is a part-time caregiver for their kids, because she works full time. She described him as an outstanding father.

"He will be well missed," she said.

Hayes made a brief statement, accepting responsibilityin the case but saying he didn't think at the time that he was doing something illegal. He added that he tried to run both businesses as nonprofits under the law.

"There was no money found in my case — there were no profits," he said.

Passamonte fined Hayes $3,660 in each of the two cases and stipulated that he'd have to serve seven years of supervised probation after he's released. With Hayes' record of blowing off probation, that may not prove easy for him. When he gets out, he says, the weapons violation means he can't work in Arizona's medical-marijuana industry. He sees a possible future for him and his family in Nevada, which like Arizona might legalize recreational marijuana later this year. But for now, he has to

Insect drift on shore of lakes and seas is a relatively common phenomenon although apparently not frequently reported in the literature.

He has let it be known that he will accept any punishment that is handed down. Which is generous given that is how these things usually work. He's not there to choose his own sanctions.

Pardew has been handed a seven-match ban, with the first three games being a complete stadium ban and the remaining four a touchline ban.

The stadium ban means he won't be able to deliver a team talk in the dressing room, or even watch from the stands. Instead he'll be in a hotel nearby watching on a screen, no contact allowed with his bench.

For the touchline ban, where he takes a seat in the director's box and can't orchestrate proceedings during the game.

John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all?

LAUREN GILGER: But first, the Navajo Generating Station is shutting down, creating a ripple effect felt from the families left searching for jobs to the Grand Canyon, where its absence may mean improvements to the air quality. This moment does not come as a surprise. The plant's owners announced it would close in 2017, but it is no less momentous. To mark the end of the NGS, the Arizona Republic is releasing a series of stories exploring those many effects, and how similar closures are likely to happen elsewhere as renewable energy grows more popular. Utility reporter Ryan Randazzo has been covering the generating stationbefore about how this plant is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases in the country. How will its closure affect emissions, affect the environment in that part of the country?

RANDAZZO: Yeah, as you said, when the thing was running at full tilt, which has been a while, but when it was, it was about the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the country, but also a contributor to haze. And it depended on the season. Sometimes the Grand Canyon gets haze impact from big cities like L.A. and Phoenix, and other times of the year when the winds are blowing a different direction, the emissions from this plant would create a haze impact there at the Canyon. So, that's something that, when this ceases to


allegations concerning religious and sex discrimination; and (4) adding NLIC's parent corporation, National Liberty Corporation, as a party defendant. Also before the Court is plaintiff's motion for declaration of a class action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 23(b)(2).
Plaintiff was employed by NLIC from September 19, 1972, until she was discharged on July 18, 1973. On July 26, 1973, she filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") alleging, inter alia, that she had been given work that she was not hired to perform and was falsely accused of not performing a certain work assignment. Plaintiff went on to state that the fact that she was Jewish must have been the underlying reason for the unfair treatment. On the first page of the charge, she checked the box labeledto NLC as well as NLIC. While it is true that plaintiff, in her January 17, 1974, letter to the EEOC requesting it to amend her original charge of discrimination, did refer to NLC, this does not show that she intended to charge NLC. The letter states, in part, that "[o]n or about August 1, 1973 I filed a charge of discrimination with EEOC against National Liberty Corporation, Frazer, Pa." An examination of the original charge discloses that in the space which asks the charging party to "List the Employer, Labor Organization, Employment Agency, Apprenticeship Committee, State or Local Government Who Discriminated Against You (If more than one, list all)," plaintiff only listed NLIC. In addition, when plaintiff filed her formal amended charge on April 12, 1974, she


again only *716 mentioned NLIC as the employer who discriminated against her. Thus, her reference to NLC in her informal request to amend was a mistake and in no way alerted the EEOC that she was charging NLC as well as NLIC. Moreover, in the space which calls for an explanation of "what unfair thing was done to you," plaintiff in neither formal charge set forth factual allegations stating that NLC, as well as NLIC, was discriminating against her. The record also indicates that the EEOC mailed a "Notice of Charge of Employment Discrimination" after plaintiff filed her original charge and again after she filed the amended charge. Each notice was addressed to "Chief Executive Officer" of the National Liberty International Corporation. Therefore, not only is it clearThe president has described his border proposal as ‘the Great Wall of Trump’, evoking what one expert sees as a calamitous and ill-conceived folly

There is much Donald Trump might learn from a visit to the westernmost tip of the Great Wall of China – not least that if you are really determined to keep outsiders from entering your country, cow and horse excrement can be useful allies.

That, local historians claim, was one of the secret weapons Ming dynasty soldiers used to repel nomadic raiders, hurling bucketfuls of manure into the desert winds to blind the barbarians as they galloped towards this sand-swept Gobi outpost.

But Zhang Xiaodong, who runs a museum dedicated to the Chinese super-structure in the city of Jiayuguan, believes there is an even more valuable lesson


of his own.

Donald Trump's envoys head to Mexico as cracks emerge in border wall plan Read more

What, if anything, do the two projects have in common?

What might the designers of Trump’s barrier along the US-Mexico border glean from studying the history of China’s changcheng (“long wall”)?

What challenges might the president face and what pitfalls might he avoid as he erects his own version of what one 19th-century adventurer called China’s “fantastic serpent of stone”?

Zhang, a 45-year-old history fanatic who has been visiting the wall since he was a year old, when his father was posted to a steel mill near Jiayuguan, said he saw striking parallels between the initiatives.

One had targeted unruly nomads and the other Latin American migrants but ultimately both were designed to “protect people fromlost building a structure some called the longest cemetery on earth – “but the cost would have been much higher had there been no such thing as the Great Wall”.

Zhang, whose museum sits at the foot of the Jiayu Pass, flanked by snow-capped mountains and rock-strewn deserts, has little time for Great Wall detractors.

A sign at the entrance to its permanent exhibition reads: “The Great Wall was a military system of defense of great magnificence … It is one of the greatest cultural and architectural miracles in the history of world civilisation.”

Zhang claimed the Ming wall had allowed foreign traders, diplomats and officials to safely come and go along the Silk Road while simultaneously saving farmers from roaming bands of tribesmen who used “guerrilla tactics” to loot their


Left boycotts President's address

The Left parties boycotted President's address in solidarity with the strike call by trade unions.

Page 1 of 4

NEW DELHI: Members of Left parties boycotted President PranabMukherjee's address to the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament on Thursday and staged demonstration inside the complex in solidarity with the two-day nationwide strike called by all trade unions.

Carrying placards, MPs of CPM, CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc gathered outside the main gate of Parliament near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi and raised slogans against the "anti-people" policies of the government.

They blamed the UPA government for rising prices and growing unemployment, protesting its moves to privatise profit-making PSUs and demanding wage revision for various sections of employees and workers.

Later, the Left MPs also boycotted the President's address tothis marks the end of the section of Genesis that starts back in Chapter 2.  The next section starts off with a recap of everything from the beginning to the birth of Seth.  Genesis 5:1-3 (ESV):

This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

This is followed by the genealogy (which doesn't use the formula) down to Noah's family.  Genesis 5:28-29 (ESV):

When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son and called his name


you want to get right to the relevant part.) Pastor Reese points out (no doubt following Calvin and Vos) that the phrase is a synecdoche for the entirety of the worship of God:

This phrase...is almost certainly referring to the public, corporate word of God, in that it is usually combined...with other acts of public worship in the Bible.

He then cites the following passages. Remember in the following passage that he was travelling with Lot and a very large household (several hundred):

From there [Abraham] went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Yahweh and called on the name of the Yahweh. —Genesis 12:8

Notice in the following passage thethe true God that public assemblies began to make sense:

Adam and Eve, with a few other of their children, were themselves true worshippers of God... We may readily conclude that Seth was an upright and faithful servant of God. And after he begat a son, like himself, and had a rightly constituted family, the face of the Church began distinctly to appear, and that worship of God was set up which might continue to posterity.

Per J.G. Vos
This is also explained by J.G. Vos, in his Genesis commentary (109):

This does not mean that faith in Jehovah, the covenant God of redemptive grace, first began in the time of Enos. It only means that formal public worship of Jehovah began at that time. The religion of faith in Jehovah began


with Adam and Eve. By the third generation, about the time of the birth of Enos, regular public assemblies for the worship of Jehovah had originated.

And

We may venture the opinion that this "calling upon the name of the Lord" took place on the weekly Sabbath, and that it included prayer and offering of sacrifices. But beyond this we dare not speculate.

Naming God?
Jon Ericson and Amichai have brought up some interesting points in their answer, but I must disagree with their conclusion that men first began to call him Yahweh during this time. Parallelism is important to recognize in exegesis, particularly of Hebrew texts, and doubtless polytheism was beginning to about at this time. (I think there is an argument to be made that God did not reveal himselfas Yahweh until the time of Moses, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
Though there is a sort of parallelism between "called his name" versus "called upon his name," the discontinuity is significant. I checked in my Hebrew Bible to make sure this was not simply a translational issue, and it is not. The verb is in a different from in the two cases (though, yes, it is the same verb), and in Enosh's case, the word name is preceded by the direct object marker (אֶת־שְׁמוֹ); whereas when Yahweh is mentioned, there is indeed a preposition before the name (בְּשֵׁם). Jon and Amichai have read too much into the apparent parallel. Pastor Reese, in his sermon on 4:17-26, deals with the significance of Enosh, and the


mean that men now had to work their way up to God; that has already been debunked by the failure of the fig-leaves, the shedding of animal's blood to provide covering from shame for Adam and Eve, and the radical wickedness when the woman's firstborn turned out to be a seed of Satan and a killer of the seed of the woman rather than a killer of the seed of Satan.
Conclusion
This phrase is best understood to indicate the public, communal worship of God.

A:

Cassuto in his commentary to Genesis:

Then men began once more to call upon the name of the Lord —an
  example of paronomasia: above we read, and he called his name Enosh.
  There is a parallelism of both language and theme here: a human being

  hid Thy face from us. As for Adam and Eve, we have already noted in
  our commentary on the previous verse why they were unable, during
  their period of mourning, to call upon the name of the Lord, and were
  forced to restrict themselves to the name ’Elohim. But on the
  birth of Enosh, when Adam and Eve perceived that not only had a third
  son been born to them to replace the first two sons whom they had
  lost, but that, as additional compensation, they had also been
  vouchsafed a grandson through their third son, forming the beginning
  of a new generation and bringing incipient hope for the future, they
  were comforted from their mourning. They

In many countries, the proportion of girls opting to pursue careers in lucrative fields such as engineering and computer science has stagnated. Despite the best efforts of schools, universities and governments, women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the so-called “STEM” subjects. The shortage of women is particularly acute in professions with a heavy focus on maths. But why?

A recent study in PNAS suggests that the answer may lie in differences in ability between boys and girls. But surprisingly, the ability in question is not maths, but reading. In a nutshell, girls who are good at maths tend to be even better at reading, and as a result, many turn away from maths and opt instead to pursue careers that utilise their even stronger languagehas always been open to the explanation that sensitive people are drawn to books, rather than books making people more sensitive. However in 2013 a study came along that appeared to change the game: researchers David Kidd and Emanuele Castano showed that exposure to a single passage of literary fiction actually improved readers’ ability to identify other people’s feelings.

Three years ago, a pair of psychologists at the New School for Social Research in New York attracted worldwide interest and controversy when they reported in the prestigious journal Science that reading just a few pages of literary fiction boosted research participants’ recognition of other people’s emotions, but that reading pop fiction (also known as genre fiction) did not. Now the same researchers have returned with a new paper in

Greatest Teams of All-Time: 1983-84 Edmonton Oilers

From our recent special issue, we look at No. 2 on our list of the best teams in NHL history.

With the names Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, Grant Fuhr and Paul Coffey headlining the roster, you have to wonder how the 1983-84 Edmonton Oilers lost a game at all.

But at that time in history, the Oilers were still the new kids on the block. Four years into its NHL sojourn, Edmonton had won two Smythe Division titles and reached the Stanley Cup final once. The Oilers were built on offense and speed, setting the record for goals in 1982 with 417 and again in 1983 with 424, becoming the first NHL franchise to eclipse the 400-goal plateau.

Not only waswinner – never won a Stanley Cup, would his phenomenal individual career still rank among the all-time best?

In addition to the headliners, many of the supporting cast had outstanding years. Defensemen Charlie Huddy and Kevin Lowe eclipsed the 40-point mark and provided Coffey with backup. Up front, relative veteran Pat Hughes had the last – and best – productive season of his career with 27 goals and 55 points, while Dave Hunter scored more than 20 goals for the only time. Ken Linseman, acquired from Hartford a year before, regressed in production, but proved his worth by finishing third on the team in the playoffs with 10 goals.

The young Oilers, now ravenous for a Stanley Cup, got off to a terrific start, winning their first seven games and


19 of their first 23. The first blip occurred in late November and early December, when they lost four of seven. Hardly a skid, but it was something to improve on.

During their next 20 games, the Oilers lost only one, pulling well away from anyone in their division and showing nothing was going to slow a juggernaut that considered anything less than a championship a failure.

Edmonton did have its fair share of challenges, however. The team faced injury concerns when Kurri and Messier went down. And even though the unheralded Hughes stepped up in response with five goals in a 10-5 win over the division rival Calgary Flames in early February, that didn’t stop the Oilers from having to deal with their first losing streak of the season,move on to the Campbell Conference final against the North Stars. Playing to their strengths and showcasing their maturity, Edmonton showed up in a big way, dumping the Flames 7-4.

With their provincial rivals behind them, Edmonton rolled over Minnesota in four games. The North Stars never stood a chance as Edmonton opened the series with a seven-goal game and outscored Minnesota 22-10 in the four-game sweep.

And with that, the Oilers entered a Stanley Cup final rematch against the one team on which they wanted to exact revenge and steal the coveted chalice from: the juggernaut New York Islanders.

One year after being swept by them, the Oilers were a different, more mature team.

“They really learned a lot from the Islanders when they lost in ’82-83,” said Rod Phillips, the

prices in 2007, severely affecting net food importing developing countries like Nepal. Several countries, including India, banned export of key agricultural items imported by Nepal. The shortage of agricultural goods led to rapid rise in domestic prices. Then came a sudden rise in global fuel prices in 2008, leading to a drastic increase in petroleum prices in the domestic market. This directly reduced real disposable income because a substantial portion of the population banks on petroleum products for daily need. It also shot up cost of production of domestic producers, resulting in rising prices of consumer goods and services. The combined effect of the rise in food, commodity, and fuel prices led to spiraling prices starting 2007.

What's exactly going on with Britney Spears? Reuters is reporting that child welfare agents dropped by her home:

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said on Tuesday deputies accompanied workers from the county's Department of Children and Family Services on a Saturday visit to Spears' home in the beachfront enclave of Malibu.

The spokesman, Sgt. Ken Cheurn, declined to discuss what prompted the DCFS house call, saying, "It was their investigation." But he said the matter was settled at the time of the visit and called the incident "a big nothing."

The Star reported Sean was treated briefly at a Los Angeles hospital six days after the fall for what was described as a minor "scalp fracture" and blood clot caused by the fall.

In 1997, a woman in Oklahoma was struck without injury by a piece of launch shroud but most re-entering debris falls into the oceans. Nevertheless, the vastly expanding satellite population will increase this risk of human exposure. Unfortunately, the UN Liability Convention (1972) in conjunction with the UN Registration Convention (1976) do not appear to be effective---part of the problem lies in proving fault by establishing demonstrable causation by specific debris. The Chinese and Russian responsibility for the criticality of the space debris environment suggests that recent ISO standards recommending satellite disposal at the end of life are likely to be useless, suggesting technological solutions.
