David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas consists of six stories set in various periods between 1850 and a timefar into Earth's post-apocalyptic future. Each segment lives on its own the previous first person account picked up and read by a character in its successor creating connective tissue between each moment in time. The various stories remain intact for Tom Tykwer's (Run Lola Run) Lana Wachowski's and Andy Wachowski's (The Matrix) film adaptation which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. The massive change comes from the interweaving of the book's parts into one three-hour saga — a move that elevates the material and transforms Cloud Atlas in to a work of epic proportions.
Don't be turned off by the runtime — Cloud Atlas moves at lightning pace as it cuts back and forth between its various threads: an American notary sailing the Pacific; a budding musician tasked


with transcribing the hummings of an accomplished 1930's composer; a '70s-era investigatory journalist who uncovers a nefarious plot tied to the local nuclear power plant; a book publisher in 2012 who goes on the run from gangsters only to be incarcerated in a nursing home; Sonmi~451 a clone in Neo Seoul who takes on the oppressive government that enslaves her; and a primitive human from the future who teams with one of the few remaining technologically-advanced Earthlings in order to survive. Dense but so was the unfamiliar world of The Matrix. Cloud Atlas has more moving parts than the Wachowskis' seminal sci-fi flick but with additional ambition to boot. Every second is a sight to behold.
The members of the directing trio are known for their visual prowess butgame taking on roles of different sexes races and the like. (Weaving as an evil nurse returning to his Priscilla Queen of the Desert cross-dressing roots is mind-blowing.) The cast's dedication to inhabiting their roles on every level helps us quickly understand the worlds. We know it's Halle Berry behind the fair skinned wife of the lunatic composer but she's never playing Halle Berry. Even when the actors are playing variations on themselves they're glowing with the film's overall epic feel. Jim Broadbent's wickedly funny modern segment a Tykwer creation that packs a particularly German sense of humor is on a smaller scale than the rest of the film but the actor never dials it down. Every story character and scene in Cloud Atlas commits to a style.


That diversity keeps the swirling maelstrom of a movie in check.
Cloud Atlas poses big questions without losing track of its human element the characters at the heart of each story. A slower moment or two may have helped the Wachowskis' and Tykwer's film to hit a powerful emotional chord but the finished product still proves mainstream movies can ask questions while laying over explosive action scenes. This year there won't be a bigger movie in terms of scope in terms of ideas and in terms of heart than Cloud Atlas.

When you're in high school it feels like the whole world is against you. In writer/director Stephen Chbosky's high school-set The Perks of Being a Wallflower the whole world may actually be against Charlie (Logan Lerman) whose freshman yearof high school should be listed in the dictionary under "Murphy's Law." Plagued by memories of two significant deaths as well as general social anxiety Charlie takes a passive approach to ninth grade. A few days of general bullying later he falls into a friendship with two misfit seniors Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson) who teach him how to live life without fear. Perks starts off with a disadvantage: introverts aren't terribly engaging but Chbosky surrounds Charlie with a vivid cast of characters who help him blossom and inject the coming-of-age tale with a necessary energy.
Set in a timeless version of the '90s Charlie's world is full of handwritten journals mixtapes and a just-tolerable amount of tweed. He writes letters to a nameless recipient as a


way of venting a preventative measure to keep the teen from repeating a vague incident that previously left him hospitalized. The drab background of Pittsburgh fits perfectly with Charlie's blank existence. And when he finally comes to life as part of Patrick and Sam's off-beat clique so does the city. Like the archaic vinyl records Sam lusters over (The Smiths of course!) Chbosky visualizes Charlie's journey through the underbelly of suburban Pennsylvania with a raw emotion blooming lights and film grit at every turn. Michael Brook's score and an adeptly curated soundtrack accompanies the episodic affair which centers on Charlie's search for a song he hears during the most important moment of his life.
The charm that keeps The Perks of Being a Wallflower from collapsing under its ownsuper seriousness come from Chbosky's perfectly cast ensemble. Lerman has a thankless job playing Charlie; often constrained to a half-smile and shy shrug Lerman is never allowed to grapple with Charlie's greatest fears and problems until (too) late in the film. Watson nails the spunky object-of-everyone's-affection but she's outshined by Mae Whitman as Mary Elizabeth another rebellious friend in the pack who takes a liking to Charlie. The real star turn is Miller riding high from We Need to Talk About Kevin and taking a complete 180 with Patrick a rambunctious wiseass who struggles to have an openly gay relationship with the football captain but covers his pain with humor. A scene of confrontation — at where else the cafeteria — is one of the best scenes of


the year.
Chbosky adapted Perks of Being a Wallflower from his own book and the movie feels stifled by a looming structure. But it nails the emotional beats — there is no obvious path to surviving high school. It's messy shocking and occasionally beautiful. That about sums up Perks.

There's an allure to imperfection. With his latest drama Lawless director John Hillcoat taps directly into the side of human nature that draws us to it. Hillcoat finds it in Prohibition history a time when the regulations of alcohol consumption were subverted by most of the population; He finds it in the rural landscapes of Virginia: dingy raw and mesmerizing. And most importantly he finds it in his main character Jack Bondurant (Shia LaBeouf) the scrappy third brother of a moonshiningfamily who is desperate to prove his worth. Jack forcefully injects himself into the family business only to discover there's an underbelly to the underbelly. Lawless is a beautiful film that's violent as hell striking in a way only unfiltered Americana could be.
Acting as the driver for his two outlaw brothers Forrest (Tom Hardy) and Howard (Jason Clarke) isn't enough for Jack. He's enticed by the power of the gangster figure and entranced by what moonshine money can buy. So like any fledgling entrepreneur Jack takes matters into his own hands. Recruiting crippled family friend/distillery mastermind Cricket (Dane DeHaan) the young whippersnapper sets out to brew his own batch sell it to top dog Floyd Banner and make the family rich. The plan works — but it puts


the Bondurant boys in over their heads with a new threat: the corrupt law enforcers of Chicago.
Unlike many stories of crime life Lawless isn't about escalation. The movie drifts back and forth leisurely popping in moments like the beats of a great TV episode. One second the Bondurants could be talking shop with their female shopkeep Maggie Beauford (Jessica Chastain). The next Forrest is beating the bloody pulp out of a cop blackmailing their operation. The plot isn't thick; Hillcoat and screenwriter Nick Cave preferring to bask in the landscapes the quiet moments the haunting terror that comes with a life on the other side of the tracks. A feature film doesn't offer enough time for Lawless to build — it recalls cinema-level TV currently playing on outletslike HBO and AMC that have truly spoiled us — but what the duo accomplish is engrossing.
Accompanying the glowing visuals and Cave's knockout workout on the music side (a toe-tapping mix of spirituals bluegrass and the writer/musician's spine-tingling violin) are muted performances from some of Hollywood's rising stars. Despite LaBeouf's off-screen antics he lights up Lawless and nails the in-deep whippersnapper. His playful relationship with a local religious girl (Mia Wasikowska) solidifies him as a leading man but like everything in the movie you want more. Tom Hardy is one of the few performers who can "uurrr" and "mmmnerm" his way through a scene and come out on top. His greatest sparring partner isn't a hulking thug but Chastain who brings out the heart of the impenetrable beast.


a quick trip to Pittsburgh, where Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Ezra Miller were filming the flick, Hollywood.com got a look at what that process looks like.
It was a muggy, overcast Pittsburgh day when myself and a group of journalists piled into a van and made our way to Peters Township High School, where Watson, Lerman, Miller, Mae Whitman, Nina Dobrev, Dylan McDermott, and Kate Walsh were filming their characters’ high school graduation under the watchful eye of writer/director Stephen Chbosky. From the sound of Watson’s surprisingly accurate American accent peeping through our headphones when filming began, to the fake snow puddled around the wheels of a school bus for another scene, the high school was all movie set. But from the crowds of local teens set upas extras, the proliferation of red and white balloons all over the football stadium, and a general air of excitement, Peters Township was all high school. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect — after all, Pittsburgh and its surrounding suburbs are where Chbosky grew up and where his novel takes place.
In case you were not a teen in 1999, it might be news to you that The Perks of Being a Wallflower was a life-affecting book for many of its stalwart fans. It follows the story of a young, socially-challenged teenager named Charlie (Lerman, in the film) and is told through a series of his letters. After enduring the aftermath of his friend Michael’s suicide, Charlie seeks refuge with two seniors, Sam (Watson) and Patrick (Miller). The


for the rest of the set, which overall included only a pair off last year's sadly neglected Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired, a bunch from the self-titled, and a handful of new songs. These new jams retained the band's concise approach, though "City by the Ocean" was noticeably more adventurous in the vocal department.

Desaparecidos took the stage a half-hour later and promptly began to rock the entire house to its core. While half this crowd was there in blind appreciation of Oberst's unintentional cult of personality (judging by the silly "CONOR! CONOR!" chants during the encore break and a handmade ashtray he was gifted in the middle of the set), the other half were clearly diehard Desparecidos fans psyched to finally see one of punk/rock'sbest long-dormant acts as they sang and shouted along to every song in a massive tidal wave of bodies. Everyone seemed to lose their minds for the entire hour and change while the band plowed through almost every song they've written with joyful energy, grit and professionalism. It was honestly one of the best sets I've seen any band play in a long time, although that opinion might be tainted by the fact they released a favorite record of mine with songs from which I'd never even seen performed live at all. Still, the whole set was a thrill ride.

While there's some nostalgia and joy behind reunion tours like this for sure, the band have kept their revival decidedly relevant with some new songs tackling current topics like


hacktivist group Anonymous (Oberst encouraged everyone in the audience to hack into government computers) and Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio ("He's not a sheriff, he's a criminal," Oberst remarked). Oberst also spread some awareness about imprisoned U.S. soldier Bradley Manning (jailed for allegedly passing info to WikiLeaks), and during the encore let one audience member announce an upcoming show taking place on the streets of Boston to protest the local epidemic of city police shutting down DIY show spaces (for perhaps a minute too long, as a regretful-looking Oberst began to motion for the mic back a full minute before the confident, self-proclaimed queer punk in the audience was finished speaking).

Speaking of the encore, what a weird scenario. Oberst and company came back on stage and said they weregoing to play a song by their favorite band before busting into "Constant Headache"...by Joyce Manor...who had just played the song an hour and a half prior to that...on that very stage. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen live, but it totally worked. Hell, a smiling band of Desaparecidos probably played it better than JM did, who were standing on the back of the stage watching and smirking before their singer strolled out to join the frenzy at one of the mics. Then they mentioned they would play a cover by their second favorite band and segued into a great, more distortion-laden take on the Clash's "Spanish Bombs."

In an interview with Iran’s state TV and radio news agency on Friday, September 28, Zarif promised that the new channel will be created soon and it will ultimately lead to the establishment of a new institution. He did not name the seven countries involved.

The establishment of the new institution however will take longer, he said and added that the new payment system will not use the U.S. dollar and will be based on the euro.

The special arrangement mentioned by Zarif seems to be what earlier in the week

Following the withdrawal of the United States from the landmark 2015 nuclear accord and the reimposition of nuclear-related sanctions, Iran and the EU scramble to find ways to save the agreement. Despite their efforts, many European companies, including the oil giant Total, and car manufacturers such as German Daimler have stopped business with Iran.

As the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini announced, this special financial channel was not limited to Europe, but all other countries and companies that had financial transactions with Iran, could use it to maintain their business Zarif said in his interview on Friday.

Jessica Stone has her life in perfect order until her perfectly boring
boyfriend Brett puts things in perspective. So when she receives a call to
action from her heartbroken best friend Cassie, she ditches her plans for
Winter Break in gloomy Olympic Falls and sets off to Mexico for some fun in the
sun.

Determined to use her oceanview to prep for her MCATS, she doesn't plan
to run into anyone from Olympic State, least of all the cute communications
prof she's been crushing on for a year. When he unexpectedly saves the day, the
two are thrown together in a distinctly extracurricular activity.

Roman Markson doesn’t expect to run into anyone he knows from Olympic
Falls while visiting his family in Puerto Vallarta, especially not a former
student. Although Jess Stone has a way of


white picket fences but when it all falls apart, she decides freedom is the only way to go. As a traveling masseuse, she's just moved into her new assignment when she finds herself in a little predicament. Lucky for her, the sexy marine next door comes to her rescue. I liked Chloe. She is funny, smart and full of spunk. She is insanely attracted to Michael but she is also scared. She tried the relationship thing once and it was an epic fail.

Michael is an injured Marine and right now he wants nothing more than to get back to duty. That is until he meets his sexy neighbor, Chloe. He is definitely intrigued by her and certainly attracted. He offers to help Chloe out when she's in aHaving been tied down to a husband that cheated on her, she now wants nothing more than to be a free spirit. No strings, no attachments... She hasn't been with anyone else since the divorce and now fate would bring Major Hottie Michael McCade to her doorstep. She always said she would never date a military man because of how her father always put the Corps first and never his family. Staying away from Michael proves to be quite the undertaking... he is patient, kind, encouraging and he is looking for more stability in his life. He wants a home, a family.... He's never been in that all-consuming love before, but he wants it and I love that he isn't afraid to admit it.

Getting to know each other


relationships with his family. He is a bit bitter, jaded and sullen. He doesn't want anyone's help, especially Alyssa. He sees her as a spoiled, rich girl and because of his past, this rubs him the wrong way. The problem is, Brody doesn't really know her and he's making a snap judgement. I totally understood his anger, considering all he has been through but I wanted to knock him upside the head for they way he judged her in the beginning.

Alyssa comes from a very wealthy family but she is definitely not a spoiled brat. She is so sweet and humble and she doesn't want to be defined by her family wealth. She is so down to earth and she wants to use her money to do goodhim though when he treated her poorly. She was able to prove to him pretty quickly that she is not who he thought she was and then he becomes intrigued. What I loved most was how volunteering at the shelter and getting to know Alyssa healed Brody. He was able to find his way back to the man he was before and while he will never be the same, he realized that he still has a lot of life to live and he can be happy again. Alyssa showed him that. My favorite thing about this book was the development of their relationship. It wasn't fast paced or instant love. They really had to get to know each other to get past their judgments and really fall for


each other.

Overall, this was an amazing book and probably one of my favorites for the year so far. While I loved the first book, On the Rocks, Make it a Double was even more spectacular. The development of Brody and Alyssa as characters as well as their relationship together was incredible. I also really liked the plot and Sawyer did a great job of adding a little suspense and drama in there to make it intriguing and a real page turner.

Today is my stop on the blog tour for Better When He's Bad by Jay Crownover, hosted by InkSlinger PR. I adorethe Marked Men Series, her excellent writing style is still there and I think she developed an excellent plot. It took me a bit to get into because Bax is such a different male lead than I'm used but I quickly got hooked as the plot and characters developed.

Bax has just got out of prison and he's out to get even and find out why he ended up there in the first place. Of course he was no saint and he was definitely a criminal but ending up in prison was no accident and he wants some answers. Bax is cold. He doesn't get close to people and he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Or so he wants everyone to think. However, the more you get to


know him, the more you can see that he does care about a few people, he just has a hard way of showing it. He has a very tough exterior and he doesn't let anyone break through. Until he meets Dovie.

Dovie grew up in the same environment as Bax but instead of succumbing to the life, she has dreams of making it out and living a better life. Her attitude is the exact opposite of Bax's and that throws him off. He's never met someone from the same background with the pureness that Dovie carries. Without his consent, she penetrates his thick skin and buries herself inside. Dovie sees the good deep down inside Bax and she wants him to know that she sees it. Despite her feelings,Bax still terrifies Dovie and her feelings for him terrify her even more.

I really enjoyed the development of Bax and Dovie's relationship and I liked that Bax never gave her any pretense that he would change or be any different than he was. Dovie loved him for who he was because she saw the good that is in there despite the bad that he only ever showed. I loved that Bax isn't some reformed bad boy. He is a guy that never makes excuses for the things he's done. He knows who he is and he never pretends to be anyone else, even with Dovie. I really enjoyed the plot of this book and I liked the way the story flowed. It had a bit of mystery to


it and Jay did a great job of dangling it in front of me in a way that made me want to keep reading to find out how everything was going to play out.

Jay Crownover is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men series. She will also be introducing the dark and sexy world of The Point in a new series this summer starting with Better When He’s Bad. Like her characters, she is a big fan of tattoos. She loves music and wishes she could be a rock star, but since she has no aptitude for singing or instrument playing, she'll settle for writing stories with interesting characters that make the reader feel something.

Thoughts on Vixen

Unfortunately for Vixen, I read this book after I read Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen. Both books are set in the 1920s. Both are part of a series. Both follow the lives of three girls -


– or sarpanches – were elected in Indian-controlled Kashmir in an experiment in grass-roots democracy, at least eight have been killed and countless more threatened, apparently by Pakistan-based militant separatist groups. Thousands of those who took up posts in order to help local development now say they want to quit.

The wave of attacks on sarpanches has threatened to undermine one of the central achievements of the Indian authorities in Kashmir. It has also underscored the tensions in a place that India and Pakistan have fought three wars over and where troops are still regularly killed on the unofficial border known as the Line of Control.

Last night, most of Indian-controlled Kashmir was under curfew amid fearsthat the execution of an alleged militant hanged in Delhi could spark attacks against Indian targets. But for local administrators, the threat of violence looms every day.

As with Mrs Kumar, when Habibullah Mir stood for office in Goripora, about 45 miles west of Kashmir’s summer capital, Srinagar, he wanted to help people in a village that has electricity for no more than an hour a day. “You only have to look at our home,” said his widow, Hajra Begum, sitting in their freezing, unfinished house. “He was too busy to finish building this.”

Most of his time, she said, was spent arranging drainage projects, road construction and the installation of lavatories at the local school and the mosque. He rarely came home before 11pm. But someone brought that work


to an end. At lunchtime on 11 January, as Mr Mir was overseeing work at the mosque, he was approached by a man no one had seen before who said he had some private business with him.

According to Ali Mohammed Mir, his brother, who was working at the mosque, the stranger also covered most of his face with a scarf and wore a dark pheran, a traditional Kashmiri shawl, baggy enough to conceal a small, hand-carried stove of embers or, in this case, a pistol. “There was a cement mixer on, there was lots of noise,” said Ali Mohammed Mir, explaining why he heard no gunshot. “Ten minutes later people came shouting that Habibullah Mir had been shot.”

His brother, who grew apples on a half-acre of orchards andwho had three children, was hit by a single bullet in the neck. Villagers raced to the nearest hospital, in the town of Sopore, but Mr Mir was dead on arrival. He was buried alongside his father in the village graveyard, just yards from the muddy track where he was killed.

The attacks on Mr Mir and Mrs Kumar took place within a couple of days of each other and just a few miles apart. Both of the sarpanches were elected in the Sopore district, an area known as a stronghold of anti-Indian militants 20 years ago and where such individuals are still active today.

Trump's final pitch in Mississippi to send Hyde-Smith back to the U.S. Senate drew on fear as he unleashed a staunch defense of his administration's response to a crisis happening more than 1,000 miles away.

“We will not tolerate an assault or attack on our border agents, like happened yesterday," he said at the Tupelo rally Monday, as he took aim at the migrants who tried to breach the U.S. border near Tijuana.

This may come across as self-serving and more than a little high-and-mighty, but… why are wrestling fans some of the worst people you've never met?

John Cena is the WWE Champion for the 15th time after winning a ladder match at Sunday's Money in the Bank PPV. I expressed an opinion on Twitter – and a pretty mild one at that – stating that John's win made sense, given the current situation WWE finds themselves in.

What situation is that? If you're not watching the week-to-week, the basic scenario is this: Daniel Bryan won the WWE title at WrestleMania 30 after the company sunk half a year building him into the one of the biggest underdog success stories in wrestling history – whether they wanted him to be or notRollins, Dean Ambrose, etc. But every single one of you complaining about John Cena winning the title are EXACTLY the same people who complain that WWE rushes the title to stars before they are ready, inevitably resulting in their fall from grace into mid-card irrelevance.

So what options are they really left with? Kane was a placeholder for Daniel Bryan – and my original pick, before the news that Bryan wasn't returning soon. In a lot of ways, the people complaining are the ones responsible for John Cena's 15th title reign – you left them with literally ZERO options in a pinch situation. They know you hate him too, but he's the evil you're used to, and the evil they can get away with using, because they know it'll


still result in the same old "let's go Cena – Cena sucks!" chant in every major city that isn't Chicago, New York, or Philadelphia.

Plus, let's not forget that in 2013 John Cena was WWE Champion, and had a surprisingly good PPV match with Ryback, told a great story with Mark Henry, and sacrificially PUT OVER Daniel Bryan clean, in the middle of the ring, at Summerslam. He then went on to elevate Randy Orton as a champion – despite the fans' best attempts to sabotage an otherwise good series of matches – before taking Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family to a main event level.

So seriously, what are you complaining about?

ANYWAYS – my point of this editorial was to rant about how terrible certain wrestling fans are, NOTSuperior Court. Their assignment of errors includes an objection to the denial of their motion for a new trial. They also challenge the validity of other actions and rulings of the trial justice during the course of the trial. The plaintiffs have briefed and argued their appeal under five main points and for convenience we shall treat this appeal in like manner.
The alleged accident occurred on Main Street in the town of East Greenwich on the night of August 7, 1965. Richard G. Bookbinder's wife, Dorothy, his brother-in-law, Joel Zarum, and the latter's wife, Marjorie Ann Zarum, were riding with him. Mrs. Marjorie Ann Zarum is not a party in these cases.
The following is plaintiffs' version of what happened. Immediately prior to the accident the Bookbinder car was


stopped in a line of traffic when it was struck in the rear by defendant's car. They testified that both cars were damaged and they described the damage they claimed was caused by the accident. According to plaintiffs' story there was damage to the rear of the Bookbinder car and damage to the grille, bumper and hood of defendant's car. After the accident they went to a country club, stayed about twenty minutes, and then left. The first time they sought medical attention was four days after the accident when they all went to see a doctor at the Miriam Hospital emergency room. They described their injuries and testified as to the period of time they were out of work as the result of such injuries. Mrs. DorothyBookbinder complained of injuries to her right hand and to her back and testified she was unable to work for eight weeks because her hand was painful and because she could not sit for any length of time. Richard G. Bookbinder claimed five weeks of disability because of injuries to his neck and back. The Bookbinders testified they were employed by a family-owned company, the Bookbinder Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc., he as an estimator at a salary of $300 a week, and she as a bookkeeper at a salary of $100 a week. At the time of the accident the Bookbinders had their office and telephone in their home.
The plaintiff, Joel Zarum, testified about his injuries. He said he was treated by the doctor for six or


seven weeks, and that he was totally disabled for six weeks and partially disabled for two weeks. He was employed as a business manager at a salary of $130 a week by a local retail jewelry house. He also stated that he had a prior existing hernia condition which did not prevent him from working.
The doctor who treated plaintiff's was called as a witness by them. He described their injuries, which he said were causally connected with the accident in question, and testified that as a result of such injuries they were unable to do their regular work for certain periods of time. The medical bills were introduced in evidence through the doctor.
The plaintiffs called Donald E. Kettelle as a witness. He testified that in August of 1965he was employed by the town of East Greenwich as a patrolman with that police department; that he investigated the accident in response to a radio message; that as a result of his observation he determined that there was minor damage to both vehicles; that the Bookbinder car had been struck in the rear by defendant's car; that plaintiffs complained of whiplash injuries; that although there was no broken glass in the street there were 12 feet of skid marks behind defendant's car; and that it was his belief that the skid marks had been left there by defendant's car.
The defendant, Charles W. Papi, who was called as an adverse witness by plaintiffs, testified in substance as follows. On the night in question he was driving a car


which he had borrowed from the other defendant's son; that just prior to the alleged accident he was going southerly on *390 Main Street at about 20 miles per hour behind plaintiff Bookbinder's car and had reduced his speed to 15 miles per hour to make a turn when he saw a yellow caution light; that he was 6 feet behind the Bookbinder car when he saw the brake lights go on and the car stopped short; and that he applied his brakes and managed to stop before there was any collision or impact.
Mr. Papi's wife, who was with him on the night in question, corroborated her husband's testimony. The defendant, Vincent Rotondo, and his son, John, testified in substance that the car had not been damaged onthe night of August 7, 1965, and that when Mr. Papi returned it, the car was in the same condition as it was when it was loaned to him.
Richard G. Bookbinder appeared as a witness in his capacity as an officer of Bookbinder Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc., and presented the payroll records of his company. Over his objection he was ordered to read into the record, in the presence of the jury, the company's payroll records of Richard and Dorothy for the periods of their respective disabilities. These records were later, over their objection, introduced into evidence.
After the conclusion of Richard Bookbinder's testimony, the trial justice permitted defendants, over plaintiffs' objection, to introduce Joel Zarum's W-2 form for the year 1965.
When both parties rested, the case was

He then permitted the members of the jury to disband to their homes with the understanding that they would reassemble in the same courtroom at 9:30 a.m. the following day. He admonished them that they should speak to no one about the case.
On the following morning the jury reassembled as instructed. After receiving further instructions it was permitted to retire at 9:45 a.m. and at 11:20 a.m. it returned verdicts for defendants.
The plaintiffs argue that the trial justice's failure to discharge the jury when he was told by the foreman it was "just hung" violated his promise to it and created in the minds of the members of the jury the *391 reasonable inference that he wouldWEST GOSHEN, Pa. -- Police have arrested and charged a man they say shot and killed a recent high school graduate during a road rage incident in suburban Philadelphia, CBS Philadelphia reports.

Abstract

In an attempt to erase Islamic-fundamentalist sentiments held by detainees apprehended in the course of the "war on terror," the United States government began teaching and preaching a more moderate version ofthe Qur'an and Islam to detainees in Iraq. One such detention program in Iraq was dubbed the House of Wisdom. But the wisdom of such a practice is highly suspect-both because it likely runs afoul of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and because it may be doing more harm than good to the American effort to defuse Islamic-extremism and anti-American sentiment. This Article examines the practice of promoting the "true" meaning of Islam in detention centers

In other words, they did not believe in the popularly accepted myths.  The key piece of evidence comes in the Republic, where Plato depicts Socrates as explicitly rejecting all myths that depict the Greek Gods behaving badly, and strongly hints at a commitment to monotheism (in contrast to Greek polytheism).
It is true that one cannot always take Plato at face value. In the context of his other writings, however, it is plain that he would never accept that a higher being (a god) could have a lower moral standard.

Brita Sigourney Wins Winter Dew Tour Snowbasin Women’s Superpipe

Brita Sigourney, the Californian who has been tearing up the Superpipe this year — including silver at X Games — found the top of the podium on this sunny Utah day. Brita suffered a hard crash during her second run (having to be taken away in a ski patrol sled), but returned with the addition of crutches for the podium ceremony. Vermont's Devin Logan has finally found the podium at a Dew Tour, taking second. And no stranger to the podium herself, USA's Jen Hudak managed a third place finish today. Here are the top three pipe runs:

Brita Sigourney — She starts on the right wall with a lofty 540 tail into an alley-oop air. From there she links upthe 900 into an alley-oop 540. A straight air into another alley-oop sets up her penultimate 720.

Devin Logan — Kicking things off on the left wall she straight airs first hit, drops a 540 tail grab into a rightside flare, then into another left 540. Then she goes into her alley-oop air, finishing off with a 720.

Jen Hudak — Hitting the right wall first she started things off with a 900 into an alley-oop air. Then a straight air into an alley-oop 540, followed by a 540, the another straight air. She ended things off with a 720.

L-R: Devin Logan, Brita Sigourney, Jen Hudak.

Sigourney, who under-rotated a last hit 1080 in hopes to increase her lead second run, crashed and ended up in the care of the medical


staff. Luckily she was cognizant and able to return for her podium celebration. Devin Logan put down two copies of her silver medal run, showing that she is consistent and solid today. Hudak also attempted the 1080 last hit on her second run, unfortunately not quite stomping it, keeping her that third spot.

Jen Hudak gets her 540 on.

Maddie Bowman's amplitude may not have been as last as the top three girls (hence the gap in scores from 3rd to 4th), but she put down back-to-back 540s and 720s like the rest of the field. Keltie Hansen couldn't keep her feet under her her first run, but brought things back into a positive light second run by crushing her 900. Ms. Consistent herself, Rosalind Groenewoud suffered a hefty fallfirst run, being carted away, unable to take a second run. Prelimiary reports point to a collarbone injury. Hopefully it's nothing more serious and we'll see Roz shredding the stunt ditch in no time. Best of luck in recovery, Roz.

So after today's action we have a new Dew winner crowned, a couple scary falls and the successful end to another women's halfpipe event. This win will most likely further cement Sigourney's position as the top ranked AFP Halfpipe athlete, but Devin Logan (who sits in 2nd currently) will be hot on her tails. For all the updates on the current standings and what will change from Dew Tour regarding the AFP, visit the organization's website.

‘The Elks Temple was built in 1915-16 when fraternal organizations were an important part of the community and had the money to build beautiful buildings such as this one. It was designed by É. Frère Champney, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts, in the second Renaissance Revival style.

Adjacent to the building is a stairway called the “Spanish Steps” that winds up the hillside adjacent to the building. These steps, modeled after the Scalinata di Spagna in Rome, were rehabilitated in 2011 by a grant from WSDOT and the Federal Highway Transportation Enhancements program’

In 2009, Tacoma experienced a not so happy story, one that many Tacomans wish not to repeat. A neglected, six story, on the National Register of Historic Places, Burnham & Root building, the Luzon, was torn down despite its historical significance as an example of early architectural designs that led to the modern skyscraper-- it was one of the first buildings in America to have steel columns. What’s now in its place? A parking lot. Yup. Still there, in all its UNIQUE (ha!) glory.

Lessons in sustainability from the jungles of Ecuador

Children in Los Bancos, Ecuador, receive computer training in their new learning center.

By Rob Wood, past president of the Rotary Club of South San Francisco, San Francisco, USA

A few years ago, I learned valuable lessons in sustainability trying to help the people of Los Bancos, a community of about 100 villagers living in extreme poverty in the jungle near Guayaquil, Ecuador.

As president of my club in 2007, I was expected to come up with an international service project and had heard about a new club in Guayaquil looking for an international partner. When I asked them what the villagers needed, they answered “They need everything!”

Of course, by our standards, they did need everything. But if we truly want to

A new well was dug, and a new pump house built by a combined force of Rotarians and villagers, and for the first time in its history, the sound of flushing toilets was heard in Los Bancos. (Of course, the villagers continued to use the fields around the village as their bathroom, but they were very proud of their latrine block.)

The computer learning center flourished, and as it turned out, there was an Internet Service Provider in Guayaquil who could build a 200-foot-high tower necessary to reach above the jungle canopycoastal towns, many built around fisheries and tourism, are particularly vulnerable to climate change.

but often overlapping philosophies, and a crucial element in this comparison is the language that each employs. It is not immediately evident at any given point whether an apparent similarity or opposition in their views is a matter of ideas or simply of terminology.

Sri Aurobindo, born in the 20th century and educated in the classical tradition of the occident as well as self-educated in the tradition of his native cultural heritage, employs the English of the intelligentsia of his time supplemented by the specific terminology of the Hindu tradition, sometimes in the original Sanskrit and sometimes in various translations.

Maslow, on the other hand, although he had read a great deal of eastern thinkers, was a citizen of the United States of America, where the development of language wasdiverging from the British mainstream. He thus employed a syntax and nomenclature which was far more idiomatic, colloquial and immediate in its impact than that of his predecessors in the field of psychology: his language had almost nothing in common with the language of Sri Aurobindo, classical scholar and mystic seer in the Hindu tradition.
It should be emphasised here that this thesis is not a comprehensive study of the complete works of the two thinkers, but rather a critical survey of some of their points of agreement and divergence; care has been taken not to lose sight at any point of what is essential in their respective visions.

In the first chapter insight is gained into the personal roots of the visions of both thinkers, and an attempt is


full of anxiety, attacks of depressions and uncertainties, as he did not have the courage to express his intuitive feelings and visions to a sceptical scientific audience which demands proof or at least logical consistency. But what Maslow offered was not a definite elaborated psychological theory but a unique vision of human nature, which was the intuitive product of his inner experiences.

Sri Aurobindo’s main objective in life was to make a new level of consciousness possible on earth and to prepare the next stage of evolution. His whole life in Pondicherry was devoted to the confirmation, expansion and practical application of his spiritual vision. However, Sri Aurobindo was not trying to work out a mental solution for a technical problem, but attempting to transform the whole nature, tobring about a change in the very stuff of the individual’s inner and outer nature. The extreme difficulties he met originated from his attempt to apply spiritual knowledge practically in external life. Sri Aurobindo was not born with the supramental consciousness and he knew all about the hard realities of life, his life had been a battle, he was not living in a “lotus eating dreamland”.

Maslow, in the development of his ideas, started his early training in psychology within the materialistic framework of science, which was based on classical laboratory research methods. But he soon realised the limitations of these methods and started to concentrate on the higher potentials and image of man. In studying these higher dimensions, within himself as well as in others, he frequently adjusted


his theory. The ‘farther reaches of human nature’ came to Maslow after his second heart attack, and he was able to make only a few forays into this area, expressing his findings in some tentative hypotheses.

Sri Aurobindo in the development of his ideas, on the other hand, started out from literature and revolutionary politics. In his early thirties, after beginning to practice Yoga in order to increase his capacities, he spent more than twelve years in relative seclusion, concentrating on his inner experiences. He used the traditional framework of Indian psychology and Yoga as a guide, and only afterwards started writing, producing a comprehensive outline of the structure of existence, based on his spiritual illuminations and intuitive visions. His psychological ideas were founded upon personal experience. After completingYoga through which integration of all the levels and aspects of the individual being becomes possible.
The action and influence of the ‘psychic being’ is seen as playing a crucial role in the development of an integral personality, and the concept of the psychic being is one of Sri Aurobindo’s main contributions to a dynamic and spiritual view of human personality.

In their respective visions, both these thinkers occupy themselves with a future utopian society, a utopia not based on illusive ideas but realisable by each and every individual.
In the fifth chapter both thinkers elaborate extensively upon the relation of the individual with the society, and the role that society plays in the development of the individual. For Sri Aurobindo this relation is based on a spiritual integration between individual


between religion and science. What he called the higher metaneeds, related to Being-values and spirituality, are, he considered, indispensable for a balanced growth of human personality. A person deprived of metaneeds and spiritual faith suffers from metapathology, which may manifest as loneliness, insecurity and purposelessness.

Maslow’s message appears particularly relevant in the artificial environment which prevails today, especially in westernised technological societies where contemporary man is deprived of access to his inner being.

Where Maslow and Sri Aurobindo meet
In the present era, the world is witnessing the influence of many radical changes in the mind of humanity. In the words of Sri Aurobindo, “The most vital issue of the age is whether the future progress of humanity is to be governed by the modern economic and materialistic mind of theWest or by a nobler pragmatism, guided, uplifted and enlightened by spiritual culture and knowledge. The West never really succeeded in spiritualising itself and latterly it has been habituated almost exclusively to an action in the external governed by political and economic ideals and necessities…On the other hand the East, though it has allowed its spirituality to slumber too much in dead forms, has always be open to profound awakenings and preserves its spiritual capacity intact.

Therefore the hope of the world lies in the re-arousing in the East of the old spiritual practicality and large and profound vision and power of organisation under the insistent contact of the West and in the flooding out of the light of Asia on the Occident, no longer in forms that are


external in character and based on a superficial association between various parts. In Sri Aurobindo’s view, development of the integral personality involves development of the unifying psychic being, as all the different aspects of personality must find their true position and role around this psychic centre. It has the double work of inner purification and organisation or integration of the outer instruments. It prepares and opens each plane of the being, so as to make them ready for union with the Divine; in those parts of the individual being where the ego maintains too strong a grip the application of the divine principle becomes difficult or seems impossible.
The two thinkers vary widely regarding the principle of integration.

Maslow uses the word transcendence in a hierarchical-integrative way which implies thatthe first transformation.

On that must follow the spiritual change, which implies the organisation of all the parts of the being around the spiritual Self; the descent of a higher Light, Force, Bliss, Purity into the whole being.

Last, there must take place the supramental transformation in which the whole of human nature is transformed into the image of the Divine, a transformation of the inner, higher as well as the outer ways of the being, the total transformation including the inconscient parts of mind, life and body. In the supramental transformation the individual Self becomes a centre of the working of the universal and Transcendental Spirit. What Sri Aurobindo terms ‘integral transformation’ is not merely a growth from lower to higher levels, but also implies the uplifting and transformation

BISSAU (Reuters) - Six people were killed in a gun battle at an airforce base near Guinea-Bissau's capital early on Sunday in what diplomatic sources described as an apparent failed counter-coup attempt.

The tiny former Portuguese colony on Africa's west coast is in the midst of a messy recovery after the army overthrew the government in April, derailing elections midstream, and diplomatic and military sources said the violence may have been orchestrated by supporters of the self-exiled former premier.

"It appears to have been a failed counter-coup," one diplomatic source said, asking not to be named.

Military sources said "rebels" had attacked the airforce base in Bra, about 7 kilometers (5 miles) from the capital Bissau at about 3 am but were repelled after two hours


of fighting.

"There was an exchange of Kalashnikov fire and then the rebels took refuge in a building near the base," a military source said on condition of anonymity.

He said government soldiers used rocket-propelled grenades on the building before killing several of the attackers. A Reuters witness saw six bodies near the base.

Witnesses said the army had set up checkpoints and was checking vehicles on the main road leaving Bissau, but added that the capital appeared otherwise calm.

The same military source said that some of the attackers appeared to be from an ethnic group, Djolla, common in neighboring Senegal's southern Casamance region.

Decades of turmoil in Guinea-Bissau since it became independent in 1974 have made its maze of mangrove-lined islands a hub for Latin American drugs cartels smuggling cocaine toEurope.

DISRUPTED ELECTION

Elections earlier this year were meant to put the country on the road to stability and to improve its chances of clamping down on drugs trafficking, but instead triggered more chaos after the army detained poll front-runner and former Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Junior before the second round.

The junta said Gomes Junior had a secret pact with Angola, which had a contingent of soldiers in Bissau at the time, to eliminate the military's leadership.

Gomes Junior fled into exile in Portugal after being released under international pressure, while several of his allies took refuge in Gambia, a sliver of land sandwiched by northern and southern Senegal.

Led by General Antonio Injai, the junta has since handed power to a transitional civilian government charged with setting up elections, though international


divisions over its legitimacy have stalled progress.

Diplomatic and military sources said the fighting on Sunday may have been launched by Gomes Junior supporters, incensed that the military had blocked his widely anticipated election win.

Guinea-Bissau's interim president Manuel Sherifo Nhamadjo has backing from West African regional block ECOWAS - which has played a leading role in mediating the crisis.

But Nhamadjo lacks the full support of the United Nations, the European Union and the CPLP grouping of Portuguese-speaking countries who say his government remains under army influence.

2008 COSAFA Cup

The 2008 COSAFA Cup is the 12th edition of the football tournament that involves teams from Southern Africa.

Due to their internal competitions calendar, Angola decided to send their under-20 national team to play in this tournament  and South Africa will play with a "Development XI"; therefore matches involving Angola and South Africa will not count towards FIFA ranking according to FIFA.

South Africa won the tournament defeating Mozambique 2-1 in the final.

"According to an industry insider, the GS was retained because it can't be emulated by the PS3 chipset. This is due to the GS's pipeline architecture which requires 4MB of super-wideband and low latency eDRAM. Because the RSX (Reality Synthesizer) GPU of the PS3 has a PC graphics pipeline with external memory, it can't replicate the special architecture of the GS."

"Moreover, it is difficult for the cluster of SPUs (Synergistic Processor Unit) in the PS3's Cell BE processor to emulate the GS. Even though each SPU has 256KB of on-chip memory (Local Store), that is insufficient for the requirements of the GS. In addition, a number of game industry insiders point out that there are many developers who did direct, custom access to the GS which would necessitate


existence of the new student. Haruhi instead puts all of her energy into forming a club called the SOS Brigade, which she hopes will help her find the unknown. The club soon attracts a number of school stereotypes - bookworm, ditzy girl, hunky guy, etc. - who, along with the new student, become unwilling new members.

Or are they really that unwilling? As the show goes on, the new student finds out that all is not it appears to be. And that, quite possibly, Haruhi herself can unmake reality.

The show was originally aired in a scrambled order. There are only 7 episodes of the main plot derived from the original novel - the rest of the episodes are from subsequent works. By scrambling the order, the mystery of theshow is preserved.

Or so it might be, if Bandai had decided to release them in that order. With the exception of the first episode on the disc - which occurs much later in the series - the rest of the episodes are in sequential order. This is actually mildly disappointing - the original scrambled order does sound like a better way to view the show. Luckily, starting with Volume 2, the Deluxe Editions will include a second disc that preserves the scrambled order as originally aired in Japan.

A quick note about the Deluxe Edition for Volume 1. This is one of the most gorgeous boxes I've ever seen. It has magnetic latches, and opens up like a jewelry box, with doors and trays. There are a slew of

British singer Jamelia and US hip hop star Kanye West were the big winners at the Music of Black Origin (Mobo) awards on Thursday night.

The pair were both named winners in three categories at the ceremony held at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Jamelia was awarded UK act of the year, shared with Dizzee Rascal, as well as winning best single for Thank You.

The ceremony was overshadowed by protests following the exclusion of two artists over homophobic lyrics.

Other winners on the night included Usher, who won best R&B act, and Jamie Cullum for best jazz artist.

Kanye West's accolades included best hip hop artist, best producer and best album for College Dropout, although he not present to collect the awards.

Among those he beat for the best album titlewere Jay-Z, Outkast, Usher and Joss Stone.

Banners waved

Jamelia's third win was best video for See It In A Boy's Eyes, a track that was written by Coldplay's Chris Martin.

Speaking about her win for the autobiographical single Thank You, she said: "This is probably the most important and significant one for me to win because this is a single that really means a lot to me."

Ahead of the awards there had been accusations from the gay rights group Outrage! that the Mobos supported homophobic artists.

Jamaican reggae stars Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel were eventually dropped from the nominations after


protests over anti-gay lyrics of their early songs and their refusal to apologise for them.

On the night about 30 protestors from the Black Music Council waved banners in support of the two ousted artists, reading "Defend Reggae Music" and "Enraged by OutRage!"

They also booed the celebrities as they arrived at the Royal Albert Hall.

Outrage! campaigner Peter Tatchell, who was not at the ceremony, said he was "appalled" at the actions of the Black Music Council.

"OutRage! defends the right of artists to criticise homosexuality, but free speech does not include the right to commit the criminal offence of incitement to murder," he said.

"The Mobos are to be congratulated for dropping Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel."

Janet Jackson was on hand to present an award to Anita Baker

Following the dropping ofthe two acts there were just two artists left in the reggae category, which was eventually won by Sean Paul who beat Toots and the Maytals.

Ceremony host Pharrell Williams pulled out just days ago and was been replaced by actor Mos Def.

Lifetime achievement

Stars including Beyonce Knowles, Outkast and Usher all turned down invitations to attend the awards.

But Janet Jackson was on hand to present a lifetime achievement award to Anita Baker.

Lemar was the only UK artist nominated for best R&B act but this was won by US singer Usher.

The best world music act was taken by Brazilian Bebel Gilberto, the daughter of guitarist and vocalist Joao Gilberto and singer Miucha.

The gospel award was won by UK five-piece group Raymond and Co.

A week after most masquerades around the globe have shut down, the Swiss town of Basel is revving its engines for Fasnacht, the only Protestant carnival in the world.

Around since at least the 14th century, this European folk secret hasn’t succumbed to the globalization that's propelled more famous carnivals into the global zeitgeist and onto the international travel circuit.

Maybe that's because this is one festival that doesn't allow visitors to play crazy dress-up. Only members of local cliques, or recognized carnival groups, are allowed to participate.

Fasnacht has many hallmarks of more well known carnivals -- street parades, outrageous costumes and late nights of revelry among them.

However, the insanity of other carnivals isn't part of the more orderly Basel event.

Many floats, displays, artistic lanterns and costumes address overtly political19, 2013 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Duke defeated UCLA 80-63.

Fargo won two Golden Globes early on during Sunday night’s show, winning Best TV Miniseries or Movie while Billy Bob Thornton took home the award for Best Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie.

Fargo previously won the Emmy Award last year for Outstanding Miniseries. Executive producer Noah Hawley accepted the award and mentioned that he and the show’s crew were ready to head back into the cold for filming season two.

The FX miniseries is based on the Coen brothers film of the same name, and included Allison Tolman, Martin Freeman, Thornton, and many more among its season 1 cast.

of Clinton's former staffers to be deposed.

The scope of inquiry covers Abedin and Clinton's use of a controversial private email server. Unlike Clinton, Abedin also had an email address provided by the State Department and she told lawyers did the "vast majority" of her work on that government account, according to the deposition transcript. In that same interview Abedin said she used the private email address "for the Clinton family matters" and for her own personal email.

Abedin said she didn't remember being told not to use private email for work-related purposes, suggesting she knew that practice would have been wrong.

"I always tried to do the right thing and tried to be on my State.gov BlackBerry," Abedin said in the deposition. Moments later she clarified slightly, saying she believedClinton were the only ones at the State Department using Clinton's private email server, which at the time was located at the Clinton's family home in Chappaqua, NY.

Clinton has apologized for her use of a private email -- first doing so in an interview with ABC News -- but she has always maintained that she did nothing illegal, particularly as it concerned her handling of sensitive information. The FBI is still investigating the use of the private server, and officials familiar with the probe do not believe the bureau will find any criminal wrongdoing.

Last month the State Department's inspector general found that she would not have been approved to use a private email had she asked in the first place. The Clinton campaign and Abedin have yet to


to Esseghaier, was called to a meeting in New York. A senior Canadian Security Intelligence Service official had flown in to hear what Elnoury knew about Esseghaier’s plans to go fishing with someone.

Elnoury scoffed at the notion the intense Tunisian would ever go fishing, and advised that Esseghaier “is here to hurt us.”

CSIS learned the fishing trip turned out to be a mission with Jaser to scout a railway bridge they planned to sabotage, sending a train that travels from New York to Toronto hurtling into the river below, killing many passengers.

The file, now a criminal matter, was handed to the RCMP and Elnoury was enlisted to gather evidence. He paid a visit to his friend in Montreal.

Elnoury portrays Esseghaier as zealously devoted to the extremist cause, butalso someone who had a crush on a female colleague and enjoyed eating lobster and stopping in at Tim Hortons.

During a drive to Toronto to meet Jaser, Esseghaier confided details of the operation: al-Qaida planners in Iran ordered him to cut a hole in the train tracks. He and Jaser would use jackhammers to cut the track, while Elnoury would be needed to act as lookout.

Esseghaier told Elnoury he emptied his bank account in the spring of 2011, buying a one-way ticket to Tehran and planning to drive to Afghanistan, where he would die in battle. But in Zahedan, a town in southeastern Iran, he was recruited by al-Qaida. He returned the next year for training and was briefed on the train plot.

Esseghaier also said something that made

In his tweet Mr Trump said: "Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory."

He added: "Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president?"

Despite repeated requests, the White House has not given any evidence for the claim.

It has instead asked Congress to examine the allegation as part of an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in last year's election.

A spokesman for Mr Obama has said the accusation is "simply false".

On Monday, seven Pennsylvania Republican state representatives introduced a bill to make this vote-rigging scheme a reality in their state. Under their bill, the winner of Pennsylvania as a whole will receive only 2 of the state’s 20 electoral votes, while “[e]ach of the remaining presidential electors shall be elected in the presidential elector’s congressional district.” Pennsylvania is a blue state that voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in every single presidential race for the last two decades, so implementing the GOP election-rigging plan in Pennsylvania would make it much harder for a Democrat to be elected to the White House. Moreover, because of gerrymandering, it is overwhelmingly likely that the Republican candidate will win a majority of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes evenBy Marissa Payne, (c) 2017, The Washington Post

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto canceled a visit to the White House because of Trump’s rhetoric, and Mexican leaders have said repeatedly that they will not pay for a wall.

1) The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors. It was located at 826-830 St. Louis St.

2) It's about a women's prison in New Orleans called the Orleans Parish women's prison, which had an entrance gate adorned with rising sun artwork. This would explain the "ball and chain" lyrics in the song.

The melody is a traditional English ballad, but the song became popular


as an African-American folk song. It was recorded by Texas Alexander in the 1920s, then by a number of other artists including Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Josh White and later Nina Simone. It was her version The Animals first heard. No one can claim rights to the song, meaning it can be recorded and sold royalty-free. Many bands covered the song after it became a hit for The Animals.

The folk music historian Alan Lomax recorded a version in 1937 by a 16-year-old girl named Georgia Turner . In this context, it is sung in the first person, present tense with the singer lamenting how the House of the Rising Sun has ruined her life. In this traditional folk version, the main character is either a prostitute or a prisoner.The Animals changed it to a gambler to make their version more radio-friendly.

The Animals performed this song while touring England with Chuck Berry in May 1964. It went over so well that they recorded it between stops on the tour. In our 2010 interview with In 1964, this folk song about a New Orleans brothel became a transatlantic hit for a British rock band when The Animals recorded it. Their version landed at #1 in the UK on July 9, and in America on September 5.The Animals performed this song while touring England with Chuck Berry in May 1964.
