For former magazine editor and Goldsmith's Uni lecturer Kathryn Blundell, she has a different perspective, and worries whether The Face will actually attract young people.

"It's interesting that The Face has chosen to pitch itself to a younger audience given that its original readers - now in their 40s and 50s - are more established magazine buyers," she tells Newsbeat.

Bolivar Soy Yo (Bolivar Is Me) Photos

Movie Info

Director Jorge Ali Triana attacks political corruption and historical accuracy in entertainment in his satirical 2002 film Bolivar Is


Me. Actor Santiago Miranda (Robinson Diaz) is cast in a Latin American television miniseries chronicling the legendary revolutionary Simon Bolivar's life. The hyper-sensitive actor -- whose mental well-being was already questionable -- snaps when forced to perform a revisionist version of Santiago's death. As the actor angrily leaves the set, he also takes leave of his senses and believes himself to actually be Bolivar. Furthermore, he assumes Bolivar's mission to unite Latin America -- which shocks his producers and provides a rather unexpected opportunity for the local political leaders. Bolivar Is Me was viewed at the 2002 Los Angeles Latino Film Festival.

Audience“Look at this!” my friend Kristen called me over to a case in the Ancient Greek wing of the Penn Museum. The case was right next to the bathrooms, small and probably often overlooked, except by those waiting for their friends to finish washing up.

The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (or the Penn Museum for short) focuses on a wide variety of ancient cultures, ranging from China to Iran, the Americas to Greece and Rome. College students take anthro classes in the museum, and kids and families from all over Philadelphia are invited for programs like the 40 Winks with the Sphinx museum overnight, Chinese New Year celebrations, and instructional tribal drum circles.

In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of madecassoside, isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Centella asiatica, in the rat model of early phase of parkinsonism. During intragastric administrations of madecassoside for 7 days, the rats were injected with MPTP on the 7th day. And for the following 14 days, madecassoside were also administered. On the 14th day, the behavioral tests were assessed after 1h of administration. And then, the rats were sacrificed, substantia nigra and striatum were dissected. The content of DA, MDA, GSH, and Bcl-2/Bax gene expression levels and BDNF protein level was determined. Treatment with madecassoside was found to improve locomotor dysfunction and to protect dopaminergic neuron by antagonizing MPTP

team members, who range in age from 11 to 16, and the coach became trapped on June 23 while exploring the cave complex in the northern province of Chiang Rai after soccer practice and a rainy season downpour flooded the tunnels.

'We have done something that nobody thought we could do,' says regional governor of Chiang Rai 1:01

British divers found the group, hungry and huddled in darkness on a muddy bank in a partly flooded chamber several kilometres inside the complex, on Monday last week. After pondering for days how to get the 13 out, a rescue operation was launched on Sunday when four of the boys were brought out, tethered to rescue divers.

Another four were rescued on Monday, and the last four boys and the 25-year-old coach werebrought out on Tuesday.

Amporn Sriwichai, an aunt of the rescued coach, Ekkapol Chantawong, said she was happy and excited. "If I see him, I just want to hug him and tell him that I missed him very much," she said.

Word that they had all made it out safely was met with cheers at a local government office where dozens of volunteers and journalists were awaiting the outcome of the rescue operation.

Payap Maiming, 40, who helped provide food and necessities to rescue workers and journalists, said a "miracle" had happened.

"I'm happy for Thais all over the country, for the people of Mae Sai, and actually just everyone in the world because every news channel has presented this story, and this is what we have been waiting for," she said. Mae Sai is the district where the cave is located.

Volunteers from as far away as Australia and the United States helped with the effort to rescue the boys. U.S. military

personnel also helped.

"We did something nobody thought possible," Chiang Rai province acting Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn, leader of the rescue effort, said at a celebratory news conference.

The last five were brought out of the cave on stretchers, one by one over the course of Tuesday, and taken by helicopter to hospital.

(CBC)

Three members of the SEAL unit and an army doctor, who had stayed with the boys since they were found, made it out of the cave later on Tuesday, officials said.

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, speaking Tuesday before the final rescue was completed, said the boys were given an anti-anxiety medication to help with their perilous removal from the cave.

Prayuth said the Tham Luang cave would be closed for some time to make


it safe for visitors.

Officials have not been commenting on the rescue mission as it has been taking place, so the condition of those brought out on Tuesday wasn't clear.

Josue Portillo was 15 years old at the time of the April 2017 slayings. He admitted to planning the killings with other MS-13 defendants because he said they believed the four were rival gang members. The victims, Justin Llivicura, 16, Michael Lopez, 20, Jorge Tigre, 18, and Jefferson Villalobos, 18, were lured to a park and attacked with machetes, knives and clubs.

"Nothing can bring back the young lives lost, and no sentence imposed by a court can truly bring justice in this situation, but the Eastern District and our partners in the FBI's Long Island


Gang Task Force will continue to work relentlessly to eliminate the scourge of MS-13 violence," Richard Donoghue, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement.

The violence, including the 2016 slayings of two teenage girls in Brentwood, led to congressional hearings and visits to Long Island from both President Donald Trump and then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. At one appearance, Trump seemed to reference the case directly, saying MS-13 members "have transformed peaceful parks in beautiful neighborhoods into blood-stained killing fields."

MS-13, also known as La Mara Salvatrucha, recruits young teenagers from El Salvador and Honduras, though many gang members were born in the U.S. The gang has been blamed for dozens of killings since January 2016 across a wide swath of Long Island.

Before heW. P. BLUCK, a well known farmer and stock raiser of Island Creek Township, Jefferson County, Ohio, where his finely improved farm of 202 acres is situated, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, September 26, 1860 and is a son of Thomas P. and Hannah Bluck.

Thomas P. Bluck was a representative citizen of this section of Jefferson County for many years. He was a native of England and was reared and married there. When he brought his family to America he settled first in Coshocton County, Ohio where he remained until 1869 and then came to Island Creek Township, Jefferson County, where his death occurred in September 1891. He was survived by his widow until December, 1905. They were members of the Episcopal Church. Inpolitics he was a


Democrat. To Thomas P. Bluck and wife a large family of children was born and of these there are five survivors, as follows: Sarah, of Steubenville, Ohio; P. T., of Coshocton County; W. P., of Island Creek Township; Beatrice P., and Benia, both of Steubenville.

W. P. Bluck was nine years old when his parents came to Jefferson County and he has ever since lived in Island Creek Township. Since leaving school he has devoted himself mainly to farming and stock raising and since oil was discovered on his land, has done some producing. In 1907 Mr. Bluck completed his dine brick residence which is probably one of the most modern rural homes in Island Creek Township. Other improvements make the place attractive and increase its value.

Another Listeria scare has hit the marketplace. This time it’s cheese that is being recalled after testing confirmed it contained Listeria monocytogenes.

A lab confirmed that a half pound package of four year aged cheddar cheese, sold under the label Fair Oaks Farms Fine Cheese, contained the now familiar bacterium. It was in September that an outbreak of Listeria occurred due to contaminated cantaloupes. That outbreak appears to have run its course, but in doing so 139 people became sick, and 29 died, after being infected.

Based on this recall, it does not appear that the product has been distributed as widely as the cantaloupes were. The cheese was distributed in parts of Indiana, Northeast Illinois, and one store in Sulphur Springs, Texas.

The


cheese was sold in half pound packages and packages may also be included in cheese gift boxes, which are also part of the recall.

The company is asking consumers to return the cheese to its purchase point for a refund. Consumers with questions or concerns are being asked to call the company at 847-884-000 or at 630-673-5200 after 11PM EST, though why they have a second number for calls after 11PM is unclear, as they also stated both lines will be answered 24 hours a day.

The negative perception that the public has of the migrants is one of the main problems that the International Organization of the Migrations faces today, affirmed this Monday its president, António Vitorino, assuring that the reality is very different.

“We must deal with the perception that we are witnessing an invasion,” António Vitorino said at the conference “Perspectives on Migration: Political Action and Civic Engagement – Portuguese-German Forum” (Perspectives on Migrations: Political Action and Civic Engagement – Forum Portugal-Germany), taking place in Lisbon.

According to him, the trend to migrate has been increasing and will continue to grow, with “60


to 70% of migrants illegally crossing borders.”

Mr Vitorino also said that “80% of Africans who migrate do so to another African country” and because of the overwhelming bulk migrate within Africa, demonstrate that “the perception, very felt in Europe, that we are dealing with an invasion from the South to North is very far from the reality,” he added.

The North of the planet faces the same difficulties regarding the migration waves as the South, António Vitorino said, recalling the serious problems in this area faced by countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Mexico or Venezuela.

The feeling of rejection towards migration that has spread throught the whole World comes from two factors according to mister Vitorino: 9/11 in the United States, which led people to associate migration with terrorism (completelywas lowered from 5 to 1.5 percent of the electorate. Additionally, referendums will be declared passed if a majority of voters vote for propositions, and the number of agreeing votes reaches 25 percent of the electorate, instead of 50 percent.

An amendment to separate election years from referendum years was passed, and will take effect in August 2021. The same amendment also limited referendum voting to every two years, and mandated a specific date for the vote, the fourth Saturday in August, putting the next referendum on 28 August 2021.

MANHATTAN — Police are looking for a man they say has stolen wads of cash and five credit cards out of women's purses and theaters across Manhattan — in one instance charging more than $650 to the victim's card.

The man first snuck into the Public Theater at 425 Lafayette St. on the border of NoHo and the East Village on June 2 around 1:45 p.m., but was escorted out by security when he was found in an employees-only area, police said.

He entered a neighboring building at 26 Astor Place just 25 minute later and pulled a credit card from a 33-year-old woman's purse, police said.

Less than a year after Roger Ailes was ousted as chairman of Fox News following a number of high-profile sexual-harassment claims, the company was hit with new discrimination allegations in a lawsuit filed Tuesday night in New York. Two black women who worked in the Fox News payroll department claim the company’s longtime comptroller, Judith Slater, subjected them to “top-down racial harassment,” the New York Times reports.

Filed in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, plaintiffs Tichaona Brown, a payroll manager, and Tabrese Wright, a payroll coordinator, allege Slater made racially charged remarks, such as suggesting that black people wanted to cause white people physical harm and that black men were “wife beaters,” according to the Times. The lawsuit also claims Slater asked Wrightessentially allowed her behavior to continue by doing little to address it. The result, according to the lawsuit, was a hostile work environment with “severe pervasive discrimination and harassment.”

Wright has been working at Fox News since 2014 and has allegedly spoken up about Slater’s behavior in the past. She was transferred out of the payroll department on Monday, which the suit claims was a demotion, though the company says it was a lateral move. Brown joined Fox in 2008 and was fired on Monday, according to the lawsuit, though the company contended on Tuesday night that she was still one of its employees. The suit notes that both women rejected a Fox settlement offer, and four other black employees who either left or were allegedly forced out are

Ways to connect with media influencers andOur goal was to evaluate the genetic structure and levels of genetic diversity and inbreeding in pet ferrets from multiple countries among the continents of North America, Europe, and Australia. We hypothesized global ferret trade resulted in distinct international genetic clusters. We also hypothesized ferrets transported to other continents would have lower genetic diversity than ferrets from Europe because of extreme founder events and no opportunities to hybridize with wild polecats or genetically diverse ferrets. Our international and intercontinental assessment of ferret population genetics provides broad insights into global patterns of founder events, and the impacts of isolation and inbreeding on the population structure of a domesticated species (Larson & Burger, 2013 ). Our results will be of broad social, economic, and biomedical importance and have direct applications


following the exact protocols of Ernest et al. ( 2012 ).

Based on genetic diversity estimates that are robust to sample size or account for sample size, ferrets from Australia, Canada, and the United States had the lowest genetic diversity (Table 2 ). Australian ferrets, despite having the largest sample size, had only a single private allele and the lowest number of polymorphic loci. North American ferrets had no private alleles and, with Australia, shared among the lowest measures of allelic richness, Shannon index of allelic diversity, and heterozygosities. Ferrets from the United States and Australia, respectively, had the highest measures of internal relatedness (i.e., inbreeding). New Zealand, England, and Scotland ferrets had intermediate levels of genetic diversity. Ferrets from all other European countries had relatively high estimates ofTwo‐thirds of the individuals in each country are contained within the corresponding ellipsoid

The DAPC showed similar patterns to the previous analyses and supports the genetic distinction between ferrets and polecats in the UK (Figure 2 ). Australia had the least amount of overlap with any other country, indicated by DAPC axis 1 (26.3% of total variation), which primarily separated Australia from all other countries. Polecats clustered most closely to ferrets in the UK, with some overlap. Australian and North American ferrets are most distinct from sampled European polecats, and then ferrets from the UK, indicated on DAPC axis 2 (15.7%). Similar to Bayesian analyses, New Zealand clustered between UK and Australian ferrets, but most closely to the UK. Ferrets from Hungary and Norway also clustered closely to the


country except New Zealand and the Netherlands. European countries were not strongly differentiated but exhibited moderate differentiation with the United States and Canada. When population differentiation was assessed based on population assignments in GENELAND, the United Kingdom (UK: England & Scotland ferrets) cluster was not strongly differentiated from non‐UK European cluster (Table 1 ). The North American cluster was strongly differentiated from the Australian cluster and moderately differentiated from both European clusters.

4 DISCUSSION

Intercontinental ferret (Mustela putorius furo) trade has resulted in geographically distinct genetic clusters, likely resulting from founder events and geographic isolation combined with inbreeding and genetic drift. Spatially explicit programs TESS and GENELAND showed comparable population structure, however, TESS identified additional substructure within North America and Hungary. Additionally, our nonspatial STRUCTURE results were highly consistent withthose from TESS and GENELAND except that STRUCTURE identified the sampled polecats to be genetically distinct from domestic ferrets, indicating the algorithms from the spatial programs or unequal sample sizes may have overridden the genetic differences between polecats and ferrets in the UK. Within our sample, ferrets within any single country tended to assign to only one of the four genetic clusters, including the United Kingdom (UK), non‐UK Europe, North America, or the Australia cluster. Exceptions to this pattern were New Zealand and Norway. Ferrets in New Zealand primarily assigned to the UK cluster but also shared assignments with the Australian cluster, supporting the hypothesis that New Zealand ferrets originated from England and from Australia (Buller, 1877). Ferrets from Norway either assigned to the UK or the non‐UK


of the primary ways to reverse inbreeding depression is through genetic restoration (Frankham, 2015; Whiteley, Fitzpatrick, Funk, & Tallmon, 2015). In domestic animal populations, genetic restoration requires human intervention and breeding programs (Ralls & Ballou, 1986; Rollinson et al., 2014). However, international trade laws could limit the feasibility of introducing new genetic material to genetically depauperate pet ferret populations, especially on continents without potential for interbreeding with wild polecats. For example, ferrets are common pets in Australia (Talbot, Freire, & Wassens, 2014) and our study supports the assertion that inbreeding has been a national problem (Lewington, 2007b). However, ferret importation is currently illegal in Australia (Department of the Environment and Energy, 2017) and ferrets are completely prohibited in Queensland (Queensland Government, 2016) and the Northern Territory (Northern TerritoryHere's why Uber is avoiding an IPO for as long as possible

As the Milwaukee Bucks romped through the 2018-19 regular season, a summer littered with critical personnel decisions loomed over their front office.

Milwaukee general manager Jon Horst, who would later earn Executive of the Year honours for his meticulous construction of a roster that delivered Milwaukee's best campaign since 1980-81, had extended starting point guard and eventual 1st team All-Defensive player, Eric Bledsoe to a four-year, $70 million deal in March.

Despite that, the Bucks would enter free agency with multiple key players up for new deals, which included Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Malcolm Brogdon, George Hill, and Nikola Mirotic.

“Khris Middleton knows how valuable he is to us and that we want him here. Malcolm Brogdon knows that, and Brook Lopez knows that, and hopefully Nikola Mirotić knows that,” Horstthe franchise into luxury tax territory for just the second time in franchise history, so to say this was a controversial decision would be putting it lightly. And that was before Brogdon got off to a brow-raising start with the Pacers. But more on that in a bit.

Brogdon started in every single one of his 64 regular season appearances in 2018-19, averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists, eclipsing the elusive 50/40/90 shooting splits in the process. It's a combination of volume and efficiency that puts him in the same company as some of the biggest names in the history of the NBA .

In a recent interview with Ben Golliver of the Washington Post, Horst had this to say on the decision.

The three Calcutta doctors who treated Anuradha, private hospital AMRI are to pay him Rs 1.34 cr

It took Saha a 13-year legal battle for which he made 50 trips to India

***

W hen Dr Kunal Saha first told his family and friends he wanted to go to court against the doctors who had treated his wife, Anuradha, they begged him to change his mind. They all agreed the doctors had a case to answer for the shocking, untimely death of the vivacious and intelligent 36-year-old. But then they listed the reasons why Saha’s life would become a living nightmare if he went to court: the doctors involvedhis spare time he ran a juice bar/concession stand in Joe's Body Shop, a gym run by co-defendant Joe Thomas.   Swatzell had met Thomas some ten years ago, and the two became re-acquainted when Swatzell began working out at the gym.   Eventually Swatzell bought an interest in the gym, running the concession stand and dividing the profits with Thomas.   This continued until the two were arrested six months later.

In September of 1989 an undercover narcotics agent began investigating Joe Thomas.   The agent (Gary Reichenberger) met with Thomas and eventually arranged a marijuana-for-cocaine transaction.   In meetings with the agent Thomas often referred to his "man" or "partner" in Arlington Heights, who turned out to be Stephen Ickow, the cocaine


supplier.   No one mentioned or referred to Swatzell during the negotiations leading to this deal.   On September 22nd Swatzell got off work as a paramedic early in the morning and went to the gym to prepare his juice bar for the day.   Joe Thomas spoke with Swatzell at the gym and convinced him to "take a ride."   Though he was unsure where they were going or why, Swatzell suspected he had been invited to help Thomas collect a debt, as he had mentioned that earlier in the day.   Swatzell followed Thomas to a mall in Forest Park, Illinois.   At the mall they switched cars, Thomas taking Swatzell's Nissan Pathfinder and Swatzell sitting in Thomas's Corvette, whichwas equipped with a car phone.   Thomas drove across the parking lot and parked next to agent Reichenberger's car.   He got into the agent's car and began to discuss the drug deal.   Soon Swatzell pulled up in the Corvette and parked on the other side of Reichenberger.   Thomas told Reichenberger that Swatzell was there to make sure everything went smoothly.   According to Reichenberger, he and Thomas discussed the transaction for a few minutes, then Thomas and Swatzell rolled down their windows and Thomas said "call him," after which Swatzell picked up the car phone and appeared to place a call.   Thomas got into the Corvette and began speaking on the phone, then rolled up the tinted


window while Swatzell pulled the car forward, out of Reichenberger's view.1  The apparent purpose of this call was to notify Steven Ickow that Thomas was coming to pick up the cocaine to trade with Reichenberger.

5
Thomas then told Reichenberger that he needed to make a quick trip to the 7-Eleven and drove off.   Swatzell remained.   While Thomas was gone, Swatzell called Reichenberger on the car phone and told him that Thomas was running late and would be back soon.   He identified himself as "the guy sitting next to you in the Corvette."2  He also told Reichenberger that Thomas was waiting for his "man" to deliver a package to the 7-Eleven.   Soon thereafter, Thomas returned and went directly to theagent's car, where he showed him the cocaine.   Reichenberger then gave a pre-arranged signal and agents moved in, arresting Thomas and Swatzell.

Swatzell's trial defense was that he was an innocent bystander who ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.   He claimed that he thought Thomas was collecting a debt, but was unsure, and that whenever he asked Thomas what was going on, he promised to explain everything later.   The district court found the agent's testimony to be credible, and disbelieved the defendant because Thomas could not have been so careless as to bring an uninformed, unpredictable innocent to a drug transaction.   Swatzell alleges that the evidence was insufficient to support this verdict.

emerged as a champion of all things Scandinavian. Indeed, this desire to imitate its neighbours, stands in contrast to the bleak media depictions of Eastern Europe, which often cast the region as backward, chaotic and thoroughly illiberal. However, by chasing this fascination with the north, Estonia has challenged such stereotypes head-on, with the former Soviet republic now a trailblazer for regional reform.

This newfound position is directly tied to the Nordic nature of Estonia’s modernisation, which has encouraged authorities to extend their concerns beyond simple monetary issues. Sharing an extensive history with the social democracies of Northern Europe, the young state has sought to build a new political outlook, emphasising societal needs. As such, the ideal has become a powerful narrative for a nation still unsure of its placeEstonia. It is the national university of Estonia. Image: studyestonia

These links would soon take on a more reactionary edge. The nation became subject to over 50 years of Soviet control, a period many Estonians view as an unjust binding of the country to a repressive dictatorship, incompatible with its natural Nordic outlook. It would not be until the country’s independence in 1991 that such ideas would again be freely discussed.

The restoration of relations with neighbours such as Finland and Sweden was viewed as an integral part of its ‘return to Europe’ policy. Spearheaded by figures such as then foreign minister – and fourth president – Toomas Hendrik Ilves, this push for a renewed place in Northern Europe would soon take on a rich mythology, as seen through Mr.


those first days of statehood. But such problems have been met with a tangible sense of optimism by a country and people increasingly united in an effort to build a “new Nordic state”. Now more than ever, and inspired by its Nordic neighbours, Estonia is unafraid to forge its own destiny.

A case of heterotopic transplantation after bilateral traumatic above-knee amputations.
This paper describes a case in which a young woman's two lower limbs were crushed and amputated from the upper part of the thighs by a train. She was in serious hypovolemic shock at the time. With rapid infusion of intravenous fluids, she recovered from shock quickly, avoiding acute renal failure and ARDS. Heterotopic transplantation was performed. Two years later, the limb which had undergone heterotopic transplantation had partly restored function.Raipur: Chhattisgarh's capital city Raipur displayed thought-leadership yet again among the Smart Cities by issuing an innovative new Smart Card specifically for the city and its citizen. This smart card makes it easier for people to make over a dozen different types of payments for public as well as private sector services. This is the same city that was appreciated not so long ago for its innovative festival "Kachra Mahotsav" that was recognized and praised in good measure by PM Narendra Modi in his broadcast show "Mann Ki Baat".

In a conference held in Raipur, the card was launched under the "One Raipur Smart Card" scheme. Through this scheme, Raipur Smart City Limited was able to bring this initiative to life in association with Axis Bank in a mere


4 months from initiation via the PPP mode, which helped reduce the cost of the project even further. The One Raipur Smart Card enables Raipur to have its own medium of transaction, through which, all public works including payment of parking tickets, space booking for parking, bus tickets, retail payment and even municipal taxes can be taken care of easily.

Speaking of the initiative, the Minister of Urban Administration and Development Amar Agrawal who was the chief guest at the launch event praised the efforts of the Municipal Corporation and Raipur Smart City Limited. He also thanked the Managing Director Rajat Bansal and his entire team for constantly striving towards progress, digital empowerment and for building a brighter and better future for the city of Raipur.

In the past fewyears, Raipur Smart City has made its mark in the country through various undertakings, initiatives and programs with its key philosophy of making the city a "People-powered Smart City". With citizen participation, the different facets of administration and development, from infrastructure to public engagement have been brought to life with the people of Raipur at the heart of it all.

I had the good fortune recently to share a conversation about poverty with Peter Edelman. Professor Edelman serves as co-director of the Georgetown University Law Center and the Center on Poverty, Inequality and Public Policy. He continues a long and illustrious career advocating for the poor and the voiceless, having served alongside, among others, Sens. Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy and in President Clinton’s administration. We are both privileged to serve on the Board of Directors of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights.

I began the conversation by wondering whether it’s even possible to discuss poverty without discussing inequality. Both are central issues for me as I work to carry forward NYSUT’s mission to advance equalthe purchase of private mining stakes by a Canadian company. 3.

This included allowing the Bulls to go 28-of-43 from the restricted area (65.1%) and 40% from three on 30 attempts. The Bulls got threes and layups all night, the two things every NBA defense tries to stop.

Offensively, the team on paper seemed okay, but they were never able to recover from an anemic 18-point second quarter that was highlighted by some really questionable play by Terry Rozier.

The young guard has had trouble adjusting to the role as a reserve, but rather than trying to fit in, Rozier has opted to press harder in his limited role which has usually led to forcing shot attempts. Last night felt like one his worst performances of the year


to come in here and get a point, and get a shutout, showed that we were ready for the game and that we game planned and executed the right way.”

The match got off to a slow start, with the cross-conference opponents feeling each other out in the early going. Most of the first half was played between the boxes, with each team making the occasional foray into the attacking half.

The best chance of the first half came in the 40th minute, when Lloyd Sam flicked on a header that got Bradley Wright-Phillips in a step behind the defense. The Red Bulls striker turned, but his shot was then blocked by a defender who had recovered.

The visitors threatened again in first half stoppage time, when Kljestan gained possession anddarted diagonally into the box. The midfielder’s pass for Sam was poked just wide of the left post.

After 45 minutes, New York held the edge in possession at just over 60%, and also recorded the only shot on-target, an effort from Felipe that was easily handled by Dallas ‘keeper Dan Kennedy.

Both teams subbed on speed at the hour mark, with Dane Richards coming on for New York and Michael Barrios replacing Dallas’ Tesho Akindele.

FC Dallas turned up the heat in the second half, earning several scoring chances. The home side looked to go ahead in the 72nd minute, when a cross from Moises Hernandez fell for Barrios, but his shot was cleared off the goal line by Felipe.

Dallas had another strong chance minutes later, when a ball fell


to Fabian Castillo behind the backline, but he put his chance over the crossbar.

Wright-Phillips and Kljestan connected for a clever give-and-go in the 84th minute. Wright-Phillips slid a return into the path of Kljestan, but his shot was blocked away.

Luis Robles was sharp when called upon, making two saves on the evening for his third shutout of the season, and 22nd of his career.

For the contest, New York claimed just a shade under 60% of the possession. Both team registered three shots on goal.

to a potential having the same polarity as the toner polarity. The toner particles migrate to the photoreceptor and selectively adhere to the latent image via electrostatic forces, forming a toned image on the photoreceptor.
In the transfer step, the toned image is transferred from the photoreceptor to the desired final image receptor; an intermediate transfer element is sometimes used to effect transfer of the toned image from the photoreceptor with subsequent transfer of the toned image to a final image receptor. The transfer of an image typically occurs by one of the following two methods: elastomeric assist (also referred to herein as “adhesive transfer”) or electrostatic assist (also referred to herein as “electrostatic transfer”).
Elastomeric assist or adhesive transfer refers generally to a process in which the transfer ofsubstrate are electrostatic forces. An exemplary electrostatic transfer process is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,244.
In the fusing step, the toned image on the final image receptor is heated to soften or melt the toner particles, thereby fusing the toned image to the final receptor. An alternative fusing method involves fixing the toner to the final receptor under high pressure with or without heat. In the cleaning step, residual toner remaining on the photoreceptor is removed. Finally, in the erasing step, the photoreceptor charge is reduced to a substantially uniformly low value by exposure to light of a particular wavelength band, thereby removing remnants of the original latent image and preparing the photoreceptor for the next imaging cycle.

Dzongkha, occasionally Ngalopkha, is the national language of Bhutan. The word "dzongkha" means the language spoken in the dzong, – dzong being the fortress-like monasteries established throughout Bhutan by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in the 17th century. WikipediaJonny Bairstow (right) has made four one-day centuries for England since making his debut in 2011

Fifth one-day international, Christchurch (Hagley Oval): New Zealand 223 (49.5 overs): Santner 67, Woakes 3-32, Rashid 3-42 England 229-3 (32.4 overs): Bairstow 104, Hales 61 England win by seven wickets Scorecard

Jonny Bairstow's superb 104 helped England beat New Zealand by seven wickets and win the one-day series 3-2.

A dismal start cost New Zealand who, despite 67 from Mitchell Santner and 55 from Henry Nicholls, were bowled out for 223 in Christchurch.

Bairstow dominated the bowlers, smashing nine fours and six sixes as he thrashed a century from just 58 balls.

Alex Hales, replacing the injured Jason Roy, made 61 before Ben Stokes scored an unbeaten 26 to seal victory.

England, building towards the 2019 World Cup


on home soil, have now won six successive ODI series.

Chris Woakes excelled with the ball for England, finishing with figures of 3-32 without conceding a boundary from his 10 overs, and his sharpness was backed up by the spinners.

Accurate with the ball and showing a controlled aggression with the bat, England look a settled one-day side and, as shown with Hales coming in for Roy after he suffered a back spasm, they have good depth available to them.

They looked assured in their pursuit of New Zealand's total and played smartly, led by Bairstow as he registered his second century of the series.

England now travel to Hamilton for a tour match beginning on 13 March, before the two-match Test series starts on 22 March.

Bairstow powers England to victory

Bairstow averages48.36 in one-day cricket for England

Bairstow's performance in this series - he has scored 302 runs at an average of 60.40 - has surely settled his place at the top of the order, after seven years of playing in every position from one to six.

If England's bowlers were miserly, then Bairstow was the opposite. Taking on the senior role in the absence of Roy, he was aggressive and confident as he led the chase on a flat pitch.

He partnered well with Hales, the two taking sharp singles, before Bairstow began to cut loose. He cut and swept the spinners with regularity, reaching his half-century from 38 balls.

After achieving one milestone, Bairstow stepped up a gear. Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi was dispatched into the crowd for consecutive sixes as Bairstow


plundered 22 from one over to near his century.

Pace from Trent Boult was pulled for four, while Santner's left-arm spin was swept for six. Bairstow reached three figures from 58 balls, moving from 50 to 100 in just 20 deliveries.

It was the fastest century by a England opener in one-day cricket and the third fastest by any England player. It was almost a surprise when he fell, hitting his stumps as he attempted to cut Boult.

Hales, opening the batting for the first time since September, looked in good touch. He played a back seat to Bairstow and was left frustrated as he was caught at mid-wicket by Kane Williamson.

Eoin Morgan fell for eight as he sent a long hop from Sodhi straight to Colin de Grandhomme on theboundary, but Joe Root's 23 and an entertaining 18-ball cameo from Stokes saw England home with 17.2 overs remaining.

Black Caps struggle with England accuracy

Mark Chapman (right), who replaced Ross Taylor, was bowled by Moeen for a duck

Ross Taylor, who led New Zealand to victory in the fourth ODI, was ruled out with a recurrence of a thigh injury and his stability was missed as the hosts stuttered through their innings.

Man of the series Woakes has set the tone for England throughout the series, taking a wicket in his first two overs in every game. It was no different in Christchurch as he struck with his third ball, enticing Colin Munro into top-edging a drive to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.

New Zealand seemed to struggle to read the pitch. Kane Williamson


chopped on after being outsmarted by a change of angle from Mark Wood, Tom Latham offered a simple catch off Adil Rashid and Mark Chapman was bowled by Moeen Ali for a duck as the hosts floundered.

Once opener Martin Guptill fell for 47, New Zealand looked close to subsiding. It was left to Nicholls and Santner to rescue the innings as they came together at 93-6.

They timed their partnership well, first being cautious against Moeen and Rashid to make their way to half-centuries, before accelerating. Nicholls hit Root's off-spin for six but he top-edged Tom Curran to square leg at an inopportune moment.

England were lax at times in the field, with Moeen dropping Santner on 57, but they improved in the final overs. Hales adjusted well to catchSantner in the deep, before Bairstow took a superb, one-handed diving catch on the boundary to dismiss Tim Southee for 10.

Despite Nicholls and Santner's efforts, New Zealand were not able to recover from a poor start. The tail were left struggling at the end against Curran's variations and the home side were bowled out for the first time in nine matches at the Hagley Oval.

While the Black Caps end this series with questions over their batting line-up, England's bowling attack looks secure. They are a far cry from the team that arrived in New Zealand for the World Cup three years ago.

England have won their last six ODI series

From the race for president, now to Congress. It's caught in a serious time crunch, not to finish its legislative business, though it hasn't done much of that this year. No, the real squeeze is in the campaign fundraising. As NPR's Peter Overby reports, lawmakers are trying to fill up lobbyists' schedules with events hoping to extract a few more dollars for their re-election bids.

And I'm Audie Cornish. In the presidential campaign, it was relatively quiet on the stump today, but it was anything but on the cable channels. Pundits and spinmasters continued to chew over that Florida fundraiser and Mitt Romney's controversial line about America's 47 percent.

Texas state Rep. Wayne Christian was born two blocks from where he now lives in

Spanish-language network Univision will broadcast the first part of its presidential forum Wednesday night. GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney will be the first candidate to appear, and President Obama follows Thursday night.

The presidential interviews came after a dramatic clash that would rival any of the network's famous telenovelas. Univision confronted the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonprofit group that organizes the candidate debates, after it announced an all-white lineup of moderators.

The fundraiser where the Romney video was recorded was held in Florida. And today, in that politically importantlatest news and political fall out from the release of Mitt Romney's remarks at a private fundraiser. The comments were made in May and the recording was released by Mother Jones magazine.

Vice President Joe Biden has been an important surrogate for President Obama this year, as he was four years ago. Biden especially excels at connecting with white, working-class voters — a group with which the president has struggled.

Some conservatives have denounced Romney's remarks. The "Weekly Standard's" Bill Kristol called them arrogant and stupid. In the New York Times, David Brooks wrote that it shows Mitt Romney doesn't understand the country or its culture. But others, such as radio personality Rush Limbaugh, have come to the candidate's defense.

And I'm Audie Cornish. Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney admits he


could've used more elegant language, but he's not backing down. Romney was secretly recorded speaking at a fundraiser in May and his comments were publicized yesterday by the liberal magazine, "Mother Jones." Here he is telling wealthy backers that President Obama has a built-in base of support.

The question of whether Mitt Romney's presidential campaign will be hurt by his characterization of 47 percent of Americans as people who believe they are victims, entitled to health care, food, housing, "you name it," is fairly settled.

Yes, it will — at least in the short run. Romney's problem? There's not much more campaign left than a short run.

Mother Jones released the full video of Mitt Romney at a Florida fundraising event in May that included the clips they made public ofMitt Romney commenting on the "47 percent." NPR senior Washington editor Ron Elving talks about the tape and how it could affect the presidential campaign.

Money is flowing through this election season like never before. The proliferation is due in part to the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and other recent rulings, which paved the way for superPACs, other outside groups and massive, secret donations from individuals, corporations and unions.


on an intriguing Glockenspiel, it establishes a well marked atmosphere in just four minutes. The rhythm is both more present and better used, serving keyboards from the Moog from the 70s to the 80s. Vitaly KISELEV skilfully slides guitar parts for a more energetic and relevant overall rendering. Keeper Of The Castle Forest push INSERTER in this way, in equal quality.

SUNRISE AURANAUT knows his classics and he never hesitates to refer to them, for the good cause. Identification Man (Psychedelic Inserter) could be his sequel: the Hammond organ always holds a place of choice, for a very progressive piece, in the spirit of InThe Old House. Rhythm breaks and other tempo changes are part of the journey and thanks to the contribution of MALAKHOV, KISELEV can refine the programming and the guitar playing, forming a solid and always interesting. The pair works perfectly, which allows him to offer the short but beautiful Fog. This time, we hear the contribution and influences of the Classic claimed by SUNRISE AURANAUT.

Describing each song becomes unnecessary, since the 10 songs (taking the short introduction) bring all that eighties feeling, that is, songs that convey emotion, euphoria and even that pleasant nostalgic feeling. Each song is unique, engaging and striking showing a solid work of seductive sound beauty to those who enjoy good music.

Forest Field – Angels – Peter Cox’s request not to take this album too seriously, should be regarded as a moment of good humor, as well as the cover of the album. The opening track, Broken Wings, totally instrumental, even with a modern footprint reminds us of good progressive rock.

He was at his normal place, at the front desk of the Wellness Center. James Fisher didn't get paid to do this. He volunteered.

So he showed up on that January day in 2012, the way he always did, with a spring in his step and a kind word for any who happened to wander in.

"He encouraged people," said Scott Morris, founder of the Church Health Center, which opened the Wellness Center to help people live fuller, more vigorous lives.

Fisher had a particular chair he liked to occupy at the front desk of the Wellness Center. Brenda Campbell, who shared desk duties with Fisher, used to kid him about that.

So Fisher was almost certainly in


that chair when he got the call, when he heard the news that would forever shatter him.

His son, his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter had all been murdered. Ricky Fisher, 46, Patricia Fisher, 46, and PaShea Fisher, 23, had been shot dead in their home. PaShea's boyfriend would later be arrested and charged with the crime.

"He never recovered from that," said Campbell. "He still came in and tried. But, truthfully, I think it broke his heart."

The Banana Man

James Fisher died recently at the age of 77. His funeral took place Friday at St. Andrew AME Church.

"If he had his way, we would have been here a long time ago," said Dr. Kenneth Robinson, presiding over Fisher's service. "He said, 'I'm done, I'm ready to leave this place.' "

So maybeyou think this is the story of a man who was brought down by an unbearable tragedy. And I guess it could be interpreted that way. But that would be missing everything that came before, including Fisher's wonderful nickname.

"The Banana Man," said Morris, breaking into a smile, because it's impossible not to smile at a nickname like that.

When the Church Health Center first opened the Wellness Center, it hired a few people to serve as peer counselors, to work out with other members and encourage them as they exercised.

Fisher was one of the first peer counselors. He was paid minimum wage to be a cheerful presence around the place. Before too long, the money for the peer counselor project ran out. But Fisher never went away.

"He kept coming,"


said Campbell. "He treated it like his job. A lot of people thought he was on staff. They didn't realize he was doing it for free."

Fisher greeted people from behind the front desk. But he did a whole lot more than that.

"He used to go to stores around town and get day-old bananas," said Campbell. "He'd bring them in with him. He didn't just get a few bananas. You can't believe how many he got. The whole table would be piled high with bananas."

Hence the nickname: Banana Man.

Fisher would make giant salads, too. He'd give people all kinds of gifts.

"If Kroger had a sale on sugar for $1.59, he'd buy out the whole shelf," said Campbell. "Then he'd give people sugar as a present. Or he'd give cansof cashews and pecans.

"If you lost someone in your family, he'd make sure you got a card. And he wasn't going to give anyone an empty card. There was always a check in it."

Fisher wasn't rich or anything. He had retired after years of working at the Kellogg's plant.

"He liked making people happy," said Campbell. "That's just who he was."

And then, on that January day of 2012, Fisher's own happiness was destroyed.

"Everyone tried to reach him," said Robinson.

Said Campbell: "Sometimes, at the front desk, he would just break down and cry."

You know that saying, that God doesn't give people more than they can handle?

That's bunk. Life certainly gave Fisher more than he could handle. More than any of us could handle for that matter.

But that doesn't mean Fisher's


life has to be defined by that tragedy, that his 77 years can be summed up by what happened in the last 18 months.

"To me, life is more complicated than that," said Morris. "It's an entire spectrum, the good and the bad. If you took the worst 100 days from any of our lives, it would look like a living Hell. It just happened that James Fisher's worst 100 days came at the end. But his life was filled with joy and grace. It was a good, rich, beautiful life."

There is an informal tribute to that life at the front desk of the Wellness Center, including a photo of Fisher, sitting in his favorite chair.

The appointments of Saaed Anwar junior (Northern second eleven) and Shoaib Khan (Balochistan first eleven) without prior experience are shocking as well.

Former Test cricketer and television expert Mohammad Waseem has been appointed the head coach of the Northern area team. He is still waiting for his level three coaching course’s result.

Similarly, Rafat Ullah was appointed the head coach of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) second eleven without any prior experience.

The PCB has never officially allowed coaches to hold dual roles. However, now Misbahul Haq, Sameeh Niazi, Rafat Ullah, Mohammad Waseem andIvan Cooper, who has died aged 75, was an exceptional figure in the tempestuous politics of Northern Ireland, and the person who organised the 1972 civil rights march in Derry that ended in what became known as Bloody Sunday.

After the introduction of internment without trial, the Unionist-controlled Stormont government banned marches in an attempt to tackle months of protest and public disorder in Derry. Cooper ignored the ban, and was one of the campaign leaders at the head of the illegal march in Derry on 30 January 1972, when members of the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment opened fire on the crowd, shooting 14 people dead and wounding many others. The catastrophic consequences outraged the Catholic community, increased support for the IRA and destroyed the prospect of any imminent


of the nationalist (Catholic) Social Democratic and Labour party (SDLP) in 1970. As a result, for the rest of his life he was called a “traitor” by his adversaries, and while he continued to be loyal to the Anglican Church of Ireland, some worshippers refused to share a pew with him.

Ivan was born in the village of Claudy, Co Derry, and was brought up for a while in nearby Killaloo, where his parents, Jeannie (nee Moorehead) and Albert Cooper, ran the local post office, until the family moved to Derry in 1956. After school he worked in Derry as a factory line manager in the shirt-making business, the city’s staple industry. Moved by the poverty he saw among the workers, and by the anti-Catholic discrimination manifested by Derry’sUnionist-dominated council, his first move into politics came in 1965, when he briefly joined the Claudy Young Unionist Association.

Shortly afterwards he resigned, switching to membership of the Northern Ireland Labour party, which was trying to persuade working-class voters to join together on a non-sectarian basis. Cooper stood for election to the Stormont parliament in 1965, winning some cross-community support but failing to gain a seat.

Around that time there were widespread demands for the Unionist government to introduce reforms to benefit the entire working class on a non-sectarian basis. Cooper, by then resident in Derry, was at the centre of the campaign and in 1968 left the Labour party to become founder of the Derry Citizens’ Action Committee. His rallying call was for Catholics and Protestants to fight for


the largest crowds, but on more than one occasion he was knocked out cold by bricks and stones.

He was first elected, as an independent representative, to the Stormont parliament in 1969, the first of many electoral victories. In 1970 he co-founded the SDLP along with Devlin, John Hume, Austin Currie and Gerry Fitt, and the high water mark of his political career came in 1973 when he was elected to the power-sharing executive at Stormont, where he gained ministerial responsibility for community relations. But the executive was jinxed, foundering after only five months in office when the United Ulster Unionist Coalition brought it down with a general strike.

Cooper and the SDLP continued to fight elections and to pursue the elusive goal of power-sharing, cross-community co-operation and an endto the Troubles. In 1983, with great disappointment, he withdrew from active politics and became an insolvency practitioner. After a stroke, his health progressively deteriorated and he became a wheelchair user. Nonetheless, much of the work that Cooper had done helped ultimately to smooth the way for the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

Over the years, the events of Bloody Sunday became mired in a propaganda war over culpability that continued until the Saville Inquiry finally concluded in 2010 that there “was a serious and widespread loss of fire discipline among the soldiers”. Even though Cooper’s health had declined, he had strongly supported families of the bereaved in their campaign for truth and justice and continued to give pin-sharp interviews on the subject. He was present with the relatives


Counter-Strike mod, Gun Game and a scythe. That's a pretty good cross-section of the sort of bonus extras we can expect from Killing Floor's active modding community.

Red Orchestra 2 will be getting Steam Workshop support soon as well. To celebrate, a Tripwire Steam bundle has been on sale all weekend at 66% off. There's still seven hours left on the deal, which includes Killing Floor (and all DLC character packs), Red Orchestra 2, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, The Ball and Dwarfs!?

A post on the Red Orchestra blog announces Rising Storm as the first expansion pack for Red Orchestra 2. It'll ferry Red Orchestra 2's bloody, muddy realism out to the sunny, sandy beaches of the Pacific theatre, where American forces will battle the Japanese army on famous battlefieldslike Tarawa, Kwajalein, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Peleliu.

The expansion is a total conversion created with help from Red Orchestra's active modding community. Tripwire recruited a "hit-list" of modders who had worked with Tripwire before, and asked them to help produce the expansion.

"As Red Orchestra: Ostfront had such an avid modding community, producing some pretty good content, it made sense for the Tripwire team, the core of whom were ex-modders themselves, to offer this opportunity to a team of modders," Rising Storm producer Tony Gillham tells Gamespy.

The US and Japanese factions will be asymmetrically equipped. Gilham tells Gamespy that balancing the well-equipped US forces against a Japanese army that hardly used automatic weapons at the time is the biggest design challenge for the team at the moment, but they're


example. Battles on this vast recreation of the deadliest sector of Omaha Beach often feel like subliminal adverts for the Quakers.

Sade will reportedly debut her new song “The Big Unknown” as part of the end credits for Steve McQueen’s upcoming thriller Widows. “It was an honor to work with such a legend. Sade is an incomparable talent and incredible artist who so rarely releases new material, but luckily the original series of Widows had deeply resonated with her,” McQueen said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. The eagerly awaited movie is set to premiere on September 8 at the Toronto International Film Festival, and will hit the theaters on November 16.

Philadelphia’s newly minted district attorney, Larry Krasner, was meeting constituents in a packed church in West Philadelphia earlier this month to discuss his plans for the job. The meeting was unique in that it quickly revealed to community members what local civic leaders and officials have already learned about Krasner: He is making good on his promise to revolutionize the job of district attorney and, in the process, offering an extraordinary experiment in criminal justice reform at the municipal level that could serve as a national model.

In the church, queries and complaints from constituents that might have made his predecessors cringe were softballs for Krasner: a loved one has been wrongfully incarcerated? Send the case to the


opioid crisis. Notably, his office had already initiated legal proceedings against some of those pharmaceutical companies.

Back on the campaign trail last year, Krasner, a former civil rights and criminal defense attorney who had been best known for suing police officers, offered a stump speech that condemned the criminal justice system for being racist and for criminalizing poverty and addiction. He was an unusual candidate to be the city’s top law enforcer. Voters swept him into office. Now, two months into his term, DA Krasner is virtually undistinguishable from candidate Krasner.

On Tuesday, Krasner issued a memo to his staff making official a wave of new policies he had announced his attorneys last month. The memo starts: “These policies are an effort to end mass incarceration and bring balance backnot fully studied, except their deviations from midline.^[@R19],[@R20]^

The external cranial base linear measurements illustrate variants among subtypes, although most of them were reduced, when compared with normal controls. The Apert class I has more evidently reduced distances from anterior and middle cranial base to the PNS, with a normal distance between BA and the PNS. This result indicates a more limited nasal and nasopharyngeal space, than oropharyngeal space, when bilateral coronal synostoses occur in Apert syndrome. However, in class II, from anterior to posterior, the degree of reduction in length between cranial landmarks and the PNS was more marked. This is associated with a significantly reduced distance between BA and the PNS, indicating a smaller oropharynx. Considering class I (bilateral coronal synostosis) accounts for 55% of all Apert

Title & brief summary

Tackling social risk in the food & beverage’s packaging industry

With the introduction of the ModernISTANBUL – At least one gunman shot his way into an Istanbul nightclub packed with hundreds of New Year's revelers on Sunday, killing 39 people and wounding more than 40 in what the provincial governor described as a terrorist attack.

One assailant shot a police officer and a civilian as he entered the Reina nightclub before opening fire at random inside, Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said at the scene. Some reports suggested there were multiple attackers.

"A terrorist with a long-range weapon … brutally and savagely carried out this attack by firing bullets on innocent people who were there solely to celebrate the New Year and have fun," Sahin told reporters.

The attack again shook Turkey as it tries to recover from a failed July coup and a series of deadly


bombings in cities including Istanbul and the capital Ankara, some blamed on Islamic State and others claimed by Kurdish militants.

The club, one of Istanbul's most iconic, popular with locals and foreigners alike, overlooks the Bosphorus Strait separating Europe and Asia in the city's cosmopolitan Ortakoy district.

Around 500 to 600 people were thought to have been inside when the gunman opened fire at around 1:15 a.m., broadcaster CNN Turk said. Some jumped into the waters of the Bosphorus to save themselves and were rescued by police.

U.S. President Barack Obama, on vacation in Hawaii, expressed condolences and directed his team to offer help to the Turkish authorities, the White House said.

Sahin said there was only one attacker but other reports, including on social media, suggested there may have been atleast two, dressed in Santa Claus costumes which they later ditched.

The Hurriyet newspaper cited witnesses as saying there were multiple attackers and that they shouted in Arabic.

"We were having fun. All of a sudden people started to run. My husband said don't be afraid, and he jumped on me. People ran over me. My husband was hit in three places," one club-goer, Sinem Uyanik, told the newspaper.

"I managed to push through and get out, it was terrible," she said, describing seeing people soaked in blood and adding that there appeared to have been at least two gunmen.

Dozens of ambulances and police vehicles were dispatched to the club in Ortakoy, a neighborhood on the city's European side nestled under one of three bridges crossing the Bosphorus and home to


nightclubs, restaurants and art galleries.

"I didn't see who was shooting but heard the gun shots and people fled. Police moved in quickly," Sefa Boydas, a Turkish soccer player, wrote on Twitter.

"My girlfriend was wearing high heels. I lifted her and carried her out on my back," he said.

Hurriyet quoted Reina's owner, Mehmet Kocarslan, as saying security measures had been taken over the past 10 days after U.S. intelligence reports suggested a possible attack.

Turkey, a NATO member and part of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State, faces multiple security threats including spillover from the war in neighboring Syria.

It launched a military incursion into Syria in August against the radical Islamist group and is also fighting a Kurdish militant insurgency in its own southeast.

The New Year's Eve attack came fivemonths after Turkey was shaken by a failed military coup, in which more than 240 people were killed, many of them in Istanbul, as rogue soldiers commandeered tanks and fighter jets in a bid to seize power.

Istanbul, Turkey's most populous city, has seen several attacks this year, the latest on Dec. 10, when two bombs claimed by Kurdish militants exploded outside a soccer stadium, killing 44 people and wounding more than 150.

In June, around 45 people were killed and hundreds wounded as three suspected Islamic State militants carried out a gun and bomb attack on Istanbul's main Ataturk airport.


in Hamilton County, TN, now I know the maiden name of my great grandmother, Rosa Lee Rodgers. The 1900 census of Jefferson County, AL finds the family in a mining camp in Bessemer, AL with their young children. The oldest child is a son Jasper Gerber, age 10. In 1910 the family has grown by two children, but there is no record of Jasper Gerber. Just as we were about to leave the Archives, someone asked if I had looked at the book they had and that there was a Jasper Gerber in it. That book was an index of loose records for Jefferson County, AL and there was an estate record shown for Jasper Gerber and an LDS film number where the record could be found. Icopied all of the information and knew I wanted to order the film. At that time you had to make an appointment to use the local family history center. I tried but without being able to contact anyone, I put that piece of paper in my Gerber notebook.

Now more than 10 years later, Nichols Memorial Library recently became an affiliate library for Family Search. The first film I ordered was the Jefferson County, AL loose records, 1901-1903. After what seemed like forever we received the film and I found out that Jasper Gerber had died. The estate record involved an insurance payment from Birmingham Mining Company to his parents due to the death of Jasper Gerber, a child under age 14. While I have one answer, it leads
