Static electricity

The Daleks used static electricity in their city on Skaro; rather than use an internal power source, they picked up power through the floor. The First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Susan Foreman realised this by the smell they made when moving and were reminded of dodgems at a fairground. They disabled a Dalek by pushing it onto a Thal cloak, insulating the Dalek base from the electricity. They then used the empty Dalek shell to escape the city. (TV: The Daleks)

On Vulcan, scientist Lesterson found a capsule in a mercury swamp containing three dormant Daleks, which he brought back to life. The Vulcan colony did not have metal floors from which the Daleks could extract static electricity, so they had power cables laid for themThe wall of a mosque in Kadalpur was not the first religious structure that was razed by Greater Noida authorities. On July 19, eight days before IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal was suspended, a temple was demolished in Beta 1 sector, just seven kilometres from her office.

"We were given no notice, no warning. The officials came with a bulldozer and knocked down the building. This temple has existed here for at least nine years, where will residents go now?" said Harinder Bhati, Beta 1 RWA general secretary.

Sources in the collectorate said that when an encroachment has to be demolished, the government usually calls in the police and the sub-divisional magistrate to maintain law and order. According to reports, only a police escort was sent for the action on


the temple. "But both Temple was also demolished, but Nagpal was not sent Nagpal and a police team were sent for the demolition in Kadalpur," said a senior official.

While the Uttar Pradesh government has said Nagpal was suspended on grounds of "causing communal tension" by demolishing the wall of the mosque, sources maintained that she reached the spot only after the wall was taken down, with some help from Kadalpur residents.

On Saturday, supporters of SP leader Narinder Bhati, who recently boasted that he got Nagpal suspended in 41 minutes, gathered at the Gautam Buddh Nagar collectorate to protest against Nagpal and District Magistrate Ravi Kant.

Haji Nanka Saithi, district president of the SP minority cell, said they had gathered to support Bhati. "The DM and Nagpal are communal andwarned the administration of President Trump not to further politicize what started as a legal matter involving accusations that Huawei had committed bank fraud.

Mr. Spavor was detained on Monday by state security officials in Liaoning, the province along the border with North Korea where he has lived, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lu Kang, said on Thursday. That same evening officials in Beijing arrested Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat who since last year had worked for the International Crisis Group, a nongovernmental research organization that seeks to defuse international conflicts.

new ambassador to India, was speaking after a visit to Washington D.C. where he led a high ranking and broad Turkish interagency delegation for the third round of consultations with the US government on Afghanistan since 2009.

“Welcoming the delegation, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Marc Grossman thanked Turkey for its important contributions in Afghanistan … both with a strong ISAF presence and a robust civilian assistance program. Referencing Secretary Clinton's February 18 Asia Society speech, he highlighted that Turkey has a very important role to play in the ‘third surge,' which Secretary Clinton characterized as the diplomatic initiative to bring the Afghan conflict to an end and chart a new and more secure future for the region,” the US State Department said on Friday concerningthe year ahead,” it added.

Just on the day when the meeting at the State Department was held last Monday, US President Barack Obama made a statement and called for tolerance in Afghanistan after the burning of a Quran in Florida that reportedly prompted an attack that killed UN workers and sparked violent protests across the country. “Now is a time to draw upon the common humanity that we share,” Obama said in a statement issued by the White House. “The desecration of any holy text, including the Quran, is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry. However, to attack and kill innocent people in response is outrageous,” he said.

As part of consultations on Afghanistan, a British delegation led by the country's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Karen


Pierce, was in Ankara on April 1, holding talks with Akçapar, the Turkish representative in the International Contact Group, before the Turkish delegation visited Washington for the third round of consultations with the US government. The visit was actually a reciprocal visit as the second meeting was held in Ankara last year. Following the Washington talks on Afghanistan, a Norwegian delegation visited the Turkish Foreign Ministry for consultations on Afghanistan. Akçapar confirmed that such talks and consultations with related countries will continue in the coming months. The consultations are apparently also related to the arrangement and debates over modalities of the upcoming regional conference to be held in Turkey.

“In concluding the meeting, SRAP Grossman noted with satisfaction the depth and strength of U.S.-Turkish cooperation on Afghanistan, as shownby the broad spectrum of current and prospective joint activities and the common strategic vision on the way forward. The two delegations agreed to follow up on a number of specific joint initiatives, including by continuing annual bilateral consultations, and by closely coordinating work in Kabul as well as in the framework of the UN, NATO and the International Contact Group,” the US State Department, meanwhile, said.


Iran and the United States remain so far apart on so many issues that they refuse to talk about them.

But in the cramped sea routes of the Persian Gulf, U.S. and Iranian warship sailors and fighter pilots speak to each other daily.

U.S. warship: A photo caption accompanying an article in Wednesday’s Section A about U.S. and Iranian warships in the Persian Gulf said a fighter jet was lifting off from the U.S. nuclear-powered carrier John C. Stennis. The plane, a French naval jet, was flying over the warship. The photo was taken in April, when the carrier was participatingCmdr. Marcus Hitchcock, the Stennis’ executive officer.

A flotilla of nine U.S. warships steamed through the Strait of Hormuz two months after the United Nations Security Council passed the last round of sanctions against Iran for continuing with its uranium enrichment program and Iranians seized 15 British sailors and marines in disputed waters off Iraq.

Positioning two aircraft carrier groups in the gulf gives the United States the capability to operate 24 hours a day and potentially conduct about 180 daily bombing and surveillance operations over Iran.

It also means the United States may be deploying nuclear weapons, believed to be aboard some of the ships in the aircraft carrier groups, within 10 miles of Iran’s shores.

Understanding Jihad in Muslim Thought and Developing a Christian
Response

By Dr. N.S R K. Ravi

September 11, 2001, was the bloodiest day in the history of the United
States (U.S.).Two of the largest office towers in the world-the Twin Towers of
the World Trade Center-were destroyed. In addition, the Pentagon, the center of
American military might, sustained heavy damages and casualties. As a result,
American complacency has been shattered to its core. In the past months, there
have been terrorist acts in many places-a homicide bomber attacked a crowded
marketplace in Jerusalem, another blew up a bus full of women and children in
Tel Aviv, and others have annihilated villages in Algeria. The list of events
worldwide that have come to symbolize this kind of Islamic terrorismdays shy of the two-year anniversary of the Nuggets sending Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks. Three of the players, they received in the deal — Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov — are still on the team.

Denver has roughly $77 million invested in Chandler and Gallinari, who each received contract extensions last winter. However, while Chandler did dress after missing two straight games with a strained left groin, Gallinari sat out a second straight game with a sinus infection.

Chandler, who is averaging 9.4 points per game on 38.4 percent shooting, has appeared in 16 games this season. The Nuggets won 21 of the 35 games he sat out with a left hip injury.

Gallinari has been more durable this season, as he had missed just two games before


last night. He missed the season opener with a left ankle strain and sat out his second straight game with a sinus infection.

Rumor of the day

The NBA trading deadline is next Thursday and with that day fast approaching rumors are flying all over the internet.

In the last week, the Nets have been linked to Charlotte shooting guard Ben Gordon, Atlanta forward Josh Smith and Utah forward Paul Millsap.

The latest speculation comes from ESPN’s Chad Ford, who speculates about Chicago forward Carlos Boozer, who is making $15 million this season and has two years remaining on his contract.

If the Nets actually acquired Boozer, it would mark a reunion with him and Williams. Boozer played five seasons with Williams in Utah, twice averaged at least 20 points and shot overSingular Passage in the Life of the Late Henry Harris, D.D.

The Ingoldsby Legends, 1st Series
by Richard Harris Barham (1788-1845)
The Ingoldsby Legends are a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories and poetry supposedly written by Thomas Ingoldsby of Tappington Manor, actually a pen-name of Richard Harris Barham.
The legends were first printed in 1837 as a regular series in Bentley's Miscellany and later in New Monthly Magazine. The legends were illustrated by John Leech and George Cruikshank. They proved immensely popular and were compiled into books published in 1840, 1842 and 1847 by Richard Bentley. They remained popular through the Victorian era but have since fallen out of fame. An omnibus edition appeared in 1879: The Ingoldsby Legends; or Mirth and marvels. (Summary from Wikipedia)

host U22 Eastern Espoir Championships

Moncton will once again host a major track and field championships as the U22 Eastern Espoir Championships will be held in New Brunswick.

On August 6th & 7th, 2016 the Stade Moncton Stadium will welcome the best under 22 year old athletes from the eastern provinces. Over 300 athletes coming from Ontario, Quebec and each of the Atlantic Provinces will battle for not only individual titles but also a team championships award!

"We are extremely happy to have this event in our province,’’ said Gabriel LeBlanc, Technical Director of Athletics New Brunswick. “This event will allow our athletes to compete among some of the best athletes in Canada and will play a vital role in our preparation for the 2017 Canada Games, of which all athletescompeting at this meet will still be eligible for.”

This championships certainly brings memories of Moncton’s recent image of hosting high profile competitions, including the IAAF World Junior Track and Field Championships in 2010, the Hub City Track Classic annually, and the Canadian Track and Field Championships in 2013 and 2014.

This is the second time New Brunswick will have played host to these championships as Saint John hosted it in 2002. Other cities to have hosted this competition include Halifax, Toronto and Mount Pearl.

Sep 23 2015 - 2017 Canada Summer Games Coach Profiles: Bill MacMackin

2017 Canada Summer Games Coach Profiles:

Coach #1 - BILL MACMACKIN

For all who know Bill MacMackin, Saint John native and current middle distance coach of the Saint John Track Club, it is clear that he is one of athletics’ biggest enthusiasts. It is no surprise that Coach MacMackin made the decision to revive the Saint John Track Club back in 2005 as he was once an athlete who competed proudly for the club back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. He continued to thrive in the sport as an athlete throughout his university years where he competed for the University of New Brunswick Cross Country Team. As an athlete, Coach MacMackin has many fond memories, whichhe claims are “all favorites”. He reflected on some of those memories which included being a part of legion teams and winning the AUS Cross Country Championships for UNB in his last year. More recently, his most cherished athletics memories have been seeing the Saint John Track Club and the UNB team reborn and the Canada Games Stadium rebuilt. He is very proud of hosting well run track meets in Saint John, whether it is NBIAA, Masters or any other event. His number one excitement in athletics, however, is Monday and Thursday nights in May and June, he says, “when we have 100+ at practice; athletes of all ages and abilities having fun and training.”

Coach MacMackin has an incredible passion for athletics and he brings a wealth of


knowledge to the sport. Athletics New Brunswick is extremely fortunate to have this coach on board for the 2017 Canada Summer Games. Coach MacMackin was asked if he has any advice for the athletes hoping to represent our province at the games and he had this to say:

- Focus on a goal of “more than just making the team.”
- Set a performance goal for yourself now, two years out – a real high caliber result!
- Identify the training needed and the key competitions.
- Build a logical and attainable plan to get there.

Looking ahead to 2017, Coach MacMackin is getting pumped up for the athletes, the competition and seeing New Brunswick strive for success. He could not be more excited about being a part of the games coaching staffCanadian record

Paul Gautier of Rothesay was unquestionably the star of the day setting 3 M50-54 provincial records and one National record. His provincial records include a 43.83m throw in discus, a 41.33m toss in the hammer throw and a combined score of 3614pts in the Weight Pentathlon. His Pentathlon score breaks his own Canadian record and ranks him 11th in the world for this season.

Adrienne Cameron of Saint John Set 3 provincial record in the W65-69 category first in the discus throw with a toss of 15m91 , then in the javelin with a 13m48 performance and finally in the weight throw with a 6m43.

Dave Jefferson of Saint John set a new provincial M70-74 record with a throw of 31m81 in the Hammer throw.

outdoor season. These athletes achieved performance standards which place them as the best in the province, and in many cases among the best in the country. As a part of the High Performance teams, these athletes will have special training and competition opportunities to help them continue to improve with the goal of representing New Brunswick on the national and international stage. A total of 41 athletes achieved the required performance standards, with 11 of those being named to the A team.

“New Brunswick athletes continue to develop and perform at a very high level,” said ANB Director of High Performance Steve LeBlanc. He added, “This summer, we had some of our athletes compete at the very highest levels, including national champions and international medalists. Caleb Jones and GenLalonde continue to perform at the very highest levels, and many of our other athletes are following their examples.”

ANB Technical Director Gabriel LeBlanc also noted the international successes of NB athletes. “Veronica Coombes was a multiple international medal winner this summer,” he noted. “And Geneviève Lalonde’s season was simply amazing! Bronze at Pan Am Games and finishing 19th at the IAAF World Championships were great accomplishments, but her participation in an IAAF Diamond league meet was a first for a New Brunswicker, and truly shows the level she has attained,” added LeBlanc.

Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., and Michelle Stilwell of Nanoose Bay, B.C., led the way with four gold for Lakatos and three by Stilwell. In 2011 Canada took home 12 medals from the IPC World Championships (4 gold).

“The team’s objectives are to put more athletes into finals, win more total medals and win more gold medals than at the last IPC Worlds,” said Peter Eriksson, Head Coach and Chief Technical Officer.

“In recent years, New Brunswick athletes have had extremely successful cross country season with many athletes making National teams. Last season, two of New Brunswick's finest (Barry Britt and Ryan Cassidy) competed at the highest stage, the IAAF World Championships, in Guiyang, China.

Assyrian Farmer in Turkey Attacked By Kurds

Iskandar Dayan, an Assyrian farmer in south-east Turkey who was attacked by Kurds, in hospital. (AINA) -- Iskandar Dayan, an Assyrian farmer living in south-east Turkey near the Syrian border, was attacked and severly beaten by twelve Kurds on November 16. Mr. Dayan was driving his tractor alone when approached by the twelve Kurds, whom he recognized as being from a neighboring Kurdish village. The Kurds beat him, breaking his jaw, and warned him to never cultivate his land.

Mr. Dayan was brought to a hospital in Diyarbakir. The Kurds were arrested by the police, but were set free after they were interrogated.

The attack is part of a wider pattern in which Kurds intimidate, threaten and attack Assyrians in order to take overtheir lands. Court cases relating to this problem abound in south-east Turkey, where Kurds, empowered by their sheer numbers and the support of PKK Kurdish militia, carry out an ethnic cleansing campaign against Assyrians.

The area in south-eastern Turkey, known in Assyrian as Turabdin, was inhabited almost entirely by Assyrians one hundred years ago. The genocide on Assyrians in 1915, the war with the PKK and Kurdish encroachment has sharply reduced the Assyrian population to a few thousand.

Yadav recalled that in February-March 2012, the then government had taken a decision to defer the budget on its own till the completion of the poll process at that time.

“In my capacity as the representative of the people of the state I request you think about deferring the Budget till after the elections so that the development of the state and schemes in the interests of the people could be announced,” he added.

The Supreme Court had ruled recently that the government does not need to move the budget from February 1 to a date after elections are held in five states.

Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa andA Brief History

From October 2, 1919 and for some weeks afterwards, First Lady Edith Wilson (October 15, 1872 — December 28, 1961) unofficially ran the U.S. government following her husband’s (then President Woodrow Wilson’s) life-changing stroke.

Digging Deeper

In the aftermath of America’s participation in what was then the world’s worst war (World War I) and his diplomatic wrangling at the Paris Peace Conference that followed the war’s conclusion in 1919, a worn-out President Wilson returned to America only to experience a series of medical crises. First, he endured a bout of influenza early in the year. Second, on September 25th, he actually collapsed on a public speaking tour while trying to garner support for his proposed League of Nations. The worst incident, however, occurred on October 2, 1919.

On that


date, Wilson suffered a stroke of such intensity that it incapacitated him, having permanently paralyzed the left side of his body and even blinding his left eye. While he was bedridden for the next two months, only his wife, physicians, and a few other close associates saw him.

In the meantime, the First Lady in effect took over many of the president’s responsibilities, including reviewing various important matters of state. Even after the president was released from his sick bed, he still spent the remainder of the year in a wheelchair. As 1920 came about, his mental health had clearly deteriorated as his mind wandered and he exhibited a diminished memory. Thus, the First Lady continued to play a pivotal role as a sort of unofficial “acting president”. Asthe First Lady put it, she had taken on a “stewardship” to care for the largely incapacitated president and keep the American government running as smoothly as possible. The situation was so unique in American history and the president’s condition so tragic, that the extent of what the ailing president endured was kept secret from the American public until his death a couple of years after his term ended.

Mr Trump fielded questions about the summit during a press conference days after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un announced he would suspend the talks over joint US-South Korean military drills.

But Mr Trump claimed nothing had changed with regards to North Korea, adding that "our people" were "literally dealing with them right now".

"North Korea's actually talking to us about times and everything else as though nothing happened," he said. "We have not been told anything. We're just reading stories like you are."

The summit between Mr Trump and Mr Kim would be the first between a sitting US president and North Korean leader. The two leaders had planned to discuss the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula – a top foreign policy priority of the US for decades.

Mike Pompeo confident USand North Korea have 'shared understanding of ultimate objectives from summit'

The two countries have been discussing the summit for months, exchanging compliments and even negotiating the release of prisoners. But North Korea backed away from the talks this week, after the US and South Korea launched their annual military drills in the South.

Mr Trump said on Thursday that there would be no change to the military exercises. But he also distanced himself from controversial remarks made by his national security adviser, John Bolton, which angered Mr Kim.

The president said he was not looking to employ the “Libya model” in his dealings with North Korea – something Mr Bolton had suggested in comments days before.

Trends in utilization of transarterial treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma: results of a survey by the Italian Society of Interventional Radiology.
This study was designed to provide an overview of the practice of locoregional treatments for HCC by the Italian centers of Interventional Radiology (IR) with particular reference to transarterial modalities. A questionnaire of 11 questions on locoregional treatment of HCC was e-mailed to 134 Italian IR centers. The response rate was 64.9% (87/135 centers). Of 8,959 procedures in 2011, 67% were transarterial treatments, 31% percutaneous ablations, and 2% Y90-radioembolizations. Regarding (chemo)embolization, approximately 59% of procedures were performed in the intermediate stage, 28% in the early stage, and 12.8% in the advanced stage. TACE techniques varied greatly; approximately 52% of procedures were performed with drug-eluting particles and 32% with lipiodol,Well first person shooters began for me properly with Duke Nukem back in 1991, I would play on LAN with my father, brother and their friends.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Though the story has faded from the forefront of media coverage, several press outlets have been working day and night to confirm various elements of the now infamous Steele Dossier that alleged President Donald Trump has been deeply compromised by Russian intelligence agencies. Among the more salacious details were accusations that Trump hired Russian prostitutes to perform a “golden shower” show for him in which the women micturated on the bed that President Obama had apparently slept on when he stayed in Moscow earlier.

Sources very close to the president, speaking on condition of anonymity and gift cards to Bass Pro Shops, have told the press that they can confirm Mr. Trump does indeed have a penchant for “Russian whore piss,” as oneNintendo’s last Advance Wars title before the series disappeared was Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Days of Rune was released in North America and Europe in 2008, but its Japanese release was cancelled after numerous delays.

Japanese players that still want to play game are in luck, though. All these years later, Nintendo are going to release Advance Wars: Days of Ruin in Japan as a Club Nintendo Platinum Reward, similar to how Wii racer Excitebots was made available in Japan.

More interestingly, the game will be distributed as a Nintendo eShop download for 3DS and it uses 426 blocks of storage space. This marks the first time that Nintendo have made a Nintendo DS game available for 3DS via the eShop.

Moneyball is a film based on the book of the same name that was directed by Bennett Miller about a small market baseball team that found an innovative way of evaluating players. Co-written by the talented Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network), the film is a true story about how Billy Beane used unconventional thinking to focus on buying wins instead players.

Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) was a whole package as a baseball player. He could hit, field, throw and run; a rare package to find. The New York Mets gave him an offer right out of high school. Billy already had a full ride to Stanford but a tough decision that the Beane Family would have to make is go to college or go to the pros.

There are someplayers that just do not pan out in baseball. They have the ability on paper but for one reason or another just do not perform in the major league. Billy Beane was one of those players. After 6 years he comes to grips that he is not a baseball player but he would like to stay in baseball as a scout. He eventually became the General Manger for the Oakland Athletics.

Set in the 2002, the team with the lowest budget aims to get back to the postseason again but will have to do so without 3 major players. They lost first baseman Jason Giambi, outfielder Johnny Damon and closer Jason Isringhausen to teams that could offer a higher salary. “There are rich teams and there are poor teams.


him. His name is Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), a shy young player analyst who has never had a job in baseball before this. Not only that, but this is his first job in any profession. This baffles Billy but he is more concerned on what exactly he told the guy in the meeting.

The two step out of the building to talk more privately about what Peter Brand is all about. Peter explains that baseball teams are misjudging their players and more importantly mismanage their teams. He explains that instead thinking in terms of buying players they should think in terms of buying wins.

Soon after the two first met, Billy hires Peter to his team as the assistant GM. Peter uses Bill James’s formulas to come up with theEven by his daughter. She asks him if he will be losing his job. He tells her not to worry about the fact his team is in last place and the things on the internet about him potentially losing his job. He tells her not to worry for her comfort but you can tell he is worried. Still, deep down he believes in his strategy.

The film portrays the hero to be Billy Beane but when you really think about it, it was only his acceptance of Peter Brand’s (in real life his name was Paul DePodesta) strategy and philosophy really changed the game. Every decision that he makes is because Peter said to do it. At least that is what I got out of the film, though props


to Billy for looking for progressive ways to win and giving Peter a chance.

It is a movie about sports but it is not a sports movie. In fact, you do not even need to be a baseball fan to enjoy Moneyball, but it does not hurt either. The point of the film is not about an underdog sports team winning games but rather the way they went against the traditional way of evaluating players.

Brad Pitt does a fine job playing Billy Beane but I think the top performance goes to Jonah Hill. He played the number-crunching nerdy Yale graduate wonderfully. Philip Seymour Hoffman comes in with the small role of the team manager named Art Howe but takes a backseat to the main roles of Pitt and Hill.

(Reuters) - Irish Olympic boxing champion Katie Taylor will defend her title at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games after revealing on Thursday that she had rejected lucrative professional offers to remain in the amateur ranks.

Taylor, four-times world champion, won Ireland's first untainted gold medal in 20 years in August and became one of the faces of the London Games by playing a leading role in a stunningly successful Olympic debut for women's boxing.

The former international soccer player, 26, said in August that she felt she could keep fighting for 10 more years but had Taylor turned professional, she would not have been eligible to box in Olympic


FC Arizona, a soccer club that competes in the National Premier Soccer League, announced plans Thursday for a new facility in the Southeast Valley, including a 10,900-seat multi-use stadium.

The exact location of the facility is to be determined, but FC Arizona said it is working with real-estate developers and investors to create the venue as part of a mixed-use development that includes offices, retail locations and a hotel.

In addition to the stadium, the facility will include four full-size fields, classrooms and an indoor soccer facility. FC Arizona, which currently plays its home games at Mesa High School, will be the primary tenant of the facility, but the club plans to hold concerts, high school football championships and other sporting events at the venue.

FC Arizona hopes to break groundon the facility in early 2021. It will be built on private land and will not require taxpayer funds, according to the team.

FC Arizona is in its third year of competition. In addition to its men's team, it recently added a women's soccer team and just announced the creation of a youth program. The NPSL is generally recognized as a fourth-tier soccer league in the United States.

FC Arizona released artist renderings of what the completed venue is expected to look like.


Everyone knows that technology and the internet is growing and at a rapid pace, but where is it all headed, What is driving it, and What does it mean?

This past week Internet Week New York was held at the metropolitan pavilion in New York City and These were the questions on everyone’s minds. From start-ups to CEOs everyone had their own opinion and believe it or not there was actually a common thread. However fledgling they all revolved around how new tech deals with information.

In a discussion event hosted by NYU at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism institute, the big spenders in the gamble that is today’s media got together to “discuss” the future of media. In an aggressive discussion the CEOs of the The New York Times,Business Insider, Buzzfeed, Salon Media Group, and The president and Co-creator of Huffpost Live squared off in what seemed like less of an attempt and answer the question ‘What is the future of media?’ but to see who had the best poker face as they all believed they had the trump card.

Roy Sekoff, President and Co-creator of Huffpost live, who was the only participant who did not seem as if he thought he had the ace Card hidden up his sleeve, as he was the only one at the table whose next move was obvious to everyone (video) said “We get so busy looking over our shoulder afraid of the next big thing that will sweep the ground out from under us, that we forget about what made


23 head of cattle are being reared in a farm house near Udupi

Three generations of a family have been conserving and breeding indigenous breeds of cattle here. The family has 23 head of cattle of Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, and Ongole breeds at Uppinakote village, about 18 km from Udupi. They are being reared in the farm house of 36-year-old Mohammed Irshad Abideen. His younger brothers, Naushad Ahmed, Mumshad Alam, and Sheik Mudassar, are supporting him in running the farm house.

Explaining their love for native breeds of cattle, Mr. Abideen said his grandfather Hanif Shah Saheb used to rear Malnad Gidda. His father, Jainulla Abideen, who used to rear Jersey and HF breeds for some time, later shifted to Malnad Gidda, Punganur, and Sahiwal breeds.

Description

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/618,455 filed on Nov. 27 1990 nowabandoned.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus formed in a manner that toner image is attracted directly on a recording sheet or a plane paper without utilizing a photosensitive drum or other latent image carrier. Embodiments of the invention relate to an image forming apparatus having a toner carrier and a backing electrode on which surface the recording sheet is movable, wherein the backing electrode is disposed to face to the toner carrier, and having means for toner passage disposed therebetween, wherein the means for toner passage is consisted in a plurality of toner slots effectable to open and close electro-magnetically arrayed along desired direction.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A well known electro-photograph apparatus, which is used as printers


and copying machines, operates by a process involving imprinting an electrostatic latent image on a photosensitive drum, developing the electrostatic latent image by applying a developing agent of single or two components, and transferring the visible developed image to a record surface such as a sheet of paper.

As far as the electrophotographic apparatus is based on the process of transferring the toner image on the recording sheet by means of the photosensitive drum, it involves, beside the photo-sensitive drum for carrying the electrostatic latent image, means for imprinting the latent image on the drum, means for transferring the toner image borne on the drum, means for cleaning the residual toner particles attached on the drum, means for erasing the latent image, and means for recharging such as amovable on a backing electrode (of which direction is referred as `subscanning direction` hereinafter), disposed between the backing electrode and a development roller which carries toner, in which a signal voltage corresponding to image information is applied to the means for toner passage to open selectively the toner slots during the movement of the recording member on the backing electrode, to transfer the toner borne on the surface of the toner carrier to the recording member through the toner slots.

The first prior technique, however, includes some restrictions for finer resolution (or printing dots density) which requires a more dense array of the slots, which issues other mechanical and manufacturing tasks.

A technique to resolve drawbacks as discussed above is disclosed in the PCT/SE88/00653 or International Publication No. WO89/05231 (referred


be described below, the open voltage -V1 for effecting to open electromagnetically the toner slot 3a has always the same polarity of the charged particles, thus the passage of the toner slot 3a formed by the open voltage -V1 becomes geometrically smaller; and that, the smaller the size of the toner slot 3a is made to obtain finer resolution, the narrower the physical area of the passage becomes, resulting in a thin dot, or forming image with poor intensity.

The fourth issue is a toner stain in a marginal area or a region where no print is developed.

In the development roller of the basic technique acting as the toner carrier 1, the toner layer on the development roller is formed uniformly with a doctor blade in more wider thanpaper arranged on the backing electrode. A further embodiment of the invention features to form an electrostatic field between the control grid and the backing electrode during the period when no print is performed, whereby the toner attached on the control grid is transferable on a recording paper arranged on the backing electrode.

The constitution may be attainable, for example, to break the toner carrier 1 off from the ground, to apply the developing voltage V0 on the control grid 3, whereby the development field is formable between the control grid and the backing electrode.

As the inner and around surface of the toner slot 3a, as previously described, is coated with an insulator layer, the constitution above can not prevent toner from sticking on the surface due to the


backing electrode 2 and to the toner carrier 1, or may be formed with a layer made of conductive or semiconductive material 50B, or may be formed with a coating insulator layer 50A containing surface detergent applied around the toner slot 3a.

A further embodiment of the invention is aimed to prevent the clogging and adherence of the toner at the toner slot 3a by means of the toner carrier 1, which features to form the toner carrier 1 made of conductive materials with an insulator layer on the surface at least facing to the means for toner passage.

In the constitution above, the toner carrier 1 with the insulator layer thereon, as will be described below, can have its potential brought into infinitive by breaking off the ground linea dense dot pattern, and aimed to provide an image forming apparatus with a finer resolution and a clean image. This feature employes a magnetic toner made in single component, forming a sharply pointed projection of toner or a toner ear 9 on the toner carrier 1, arranging the toner ear 9 long enough to attach on the surface of the control grid 3. The toner ear 9 makes a forcible entry into the toner slot 3a of which the electrostatic field is formed to be able to transfer the toner with an application of the open voltage -V1, whereby the dot pattern is able to form with a sufficient image intensity.

If the development field is formed in an alternating field varying its polarity from a positive state

The recording paper 4 borne an unfixed toner image which is formed by the image forming unit 10 corresponding to the image information of which detail will be described later enters into the fixing roller pair 18 through the covey guide 7 to fix the toner image.

The inlet guide 6 is made of conductive material which is grounded through means for ground 6a to remove the charge formed triboelectrically with the register roller 17 etc., and of which tail end is bent convex slightly so that the front end of the recording paper 4 will slide steadily on the surface of a backing electrode 2 in the image forming unit 10.

The convey guide 7 is made of flat conductive materials, and is also grounded through means for ground7a as well as the inlet guide 6 is grounded, to remove the charge of paper received in the image forming device before entering into the fixing rollers 18.

The image forming unit 10 consists of a unit body 10A being removable from, and lodgeable into the apparatus, and a backing electrode 2 disposed on an apparatus 10B and opposed to the unit body 10A. The unit body 10A comprises a toner container 8 with a long and narrow opening 21 at the bottom, a development roller or toner carrier 1 disposed in the toner container 8 opposing to the opening 21, and the control grid 3 stretched near the bottom of the toner container 8, wherein the members are formed in a single unit mechanically assembled or rotatably

Though she is under house arrest, the star is allowed to leave the house for work. That includes shooting scenes for the next season of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey.

She is not the only RHONJ star with a book to talk about.

On Thursday it wasrevealed her former cast mate Danielle Staub, 53, is penning a tell-all book.

The TV personality, who is known for fighting with Teresa on the series, added: 'And writing my tell all including the "Reality of #RHONJ" the impact on mine and my family's life's @Andy @bravotv.'

It is not known why she singled out both Bravo and Andy Cohen in her tweet, but left off the names of the cast members she feuded with, including Jacqueline Laurita and Caroline Manzo.

She did not mix well: Staub was invited on the series by Laurita, but did not get along with the other ladies. She often took pot shots at Teresa and was involved in the infamous scene where Giudice flipped a

As their businesses spread across their new homeland, so did their influence, which they used to dominate the only organized criminal industries possible under the communist regime: prostitution, gambling, and illegal currency exchanges.

When Slovakia gained its independence in 1993, the organized crime syndicates remained and flourished. Soon enough, the Italian mafia joined the former Yugoslavs and the Albanians.

Today — though known for its relatively painless transition from communism and its picturesque landscapes — Slovakia is teeming with organized criminal groups from across the continent.

It’s not just that the country’s law enforcement bodies


and judicial system are ill-prepared to deal with the influx. In many cases, the criminal operators are deeply entrenched with powerful politicians, including a former prime minister and a Supreme Court judge. The resulting nexus of crime and political corruption is notoriously difficult to disrupt.

It is also deadly. Several years ago, Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak began investigating organized crime in his country and collaborating with international reporters from OCCRP. He focused on the operations of the Italian ‘Ndrangheta, one of the world’s most feared and notorious criminal groups.

As the reporters inched closer to publishing their findings, Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kušnírová — both 27 years old — were shot to death on Feb. 21, 2018 in their new home outside Bratislava, the Slovak capital.

Read “A Murdered Journalist’sLast Investigation,” OCCRP’s first project about Kuciak’s work and death, which was published in the immediate aftermath of the murders.

In the following weeks, thousands flooded the streets of Bratislava to demand justice. Prime Minister Robert Fico and three of his ministers were among those who resigned amid public accusations that the state was either negligent or complicit in the deaths.

OCCRP reported at the time that Mária Trošková, Fico’s assistant, was the business associate of a man who had been investigated for ‘Ndrangheta connections.

Four people have been charged in connection with the killings, but the masterminds have not been found.

Key questions remain: How did the


about its ability to independently investigate financial crimes and to assist other countries in freezing the assets of potential criminals.

The Roaring ‘90s

A new wave of organized criminals, many from Albania, came to Slovakia after the fall of communism. While isolated under their paranoid communist leader, Enver Hoxha, Albanians had been forced to rely on family ties and subterfuge in life and business.

Then, in its chaotic transition to capitalism, the country’s economy collapsed under the weight of massive pyramid schemes. By 1997, the government had been overthrown, and more than 2,000 were killed in an uprising that escalated into civil war. After losing everything, many Albanians looked abroad for a fresh start. Some formed mafias that spread across the globe. And some of these found a safe haven inSlovakia.

It was so safe, in fact, that the ethnically Albanian boss of a heroin trafficking ring had a friendly relationship with Slovak Supreme Court Judge Stefan Harabin, who later became minister of justice and eventually head of the Supreme Court. He is now running for the presidency.

In 1994, a friendly telephone call between Harabin and the heroin trafficker, Baki Sadiki, was recorded via wiretap. When a transcript of the conversation leaked into the press in 2008, the revelation that the two had met in person and were on good terms caused a scandal.

Despite the recording, Harabin claimed that he didn’t know Sadiki and that their only connection was through Sadiki’s wife, whom Harabin had known before they married.

Sadiki was


arrested in his native Kosovo and in 2012 extradited to Slovakia, where he is now serving a 22-year prison term for drug charges that include smuggling heroin from Turkey to Slovakia.

After his confirmation to the presidency of the Supreme Court, Harabin sued the General Prosecutor’s Office for publicly confirming the veracity of the private phone call, claiming prosecutors had damaged his reputation. Harabin won the lawsuit, and the court awarded him 150,000 euros in damages for what it ruled was an improper official proceeding. The case is still on appeal. Harabin also threatened to sue media outlets who reported on the case.

Moreover, according to a U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks, Harabin was behind an effort to close a special court created to try corruption and organized crimein 2004.

His status didn’t come to the public’s attention until 2014, when then Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić complained that Kosmajac — whom he described as the most important narco-trafficker in the Balkans — had fled justice in Serbia. It was reported that he had escaped the country with a Slovak passport. He later returned to his homeland but never faced any drug charges. His lawyer, Djordje Simic, emphasized that every case against his client has been dismissed.

Slovakia had started tightening its immigration laws in 2005. But just a year later, Darko Šarić, a leading Serbian drug trafficker, gained Slovak citizenship too.

Eight years later, he would be arrested in Latin America on charges of cocaine smuggling and money laundering and handed over to Serbia. After a lengthy trial,


family historically tied to them, the Rodàs, followed.

Their goal was to escape the bloody feuds being waged at home and to build new opportunities in lands richer than rural Calabria, which in any case was already dominated by wealthier families.

One member of the Rodà family, an experienced cattle breeder named Diego, moved on from Switzerland to Slovakia in the 1990s. He bought property and continued raising cattle, eventually establishing a successful breeding enterprise that made him rich. (Diego Rodà has never been convicted of any charges related to organized crime.)

The Rodà family is now well established in Slovakia, and controls large parts of the agricultural business in the east of the country.

For more on the Rodàs’ activities in Slovakia, see OCCRP’s earlier story: “Italian Farms, Slovak Soil.”

An investigatordifficulties moving across borders because foreign countries fail to recognize the crime of ‘mafia-type association.’” This charge, frequently used in Italy to prosecute mafia members, exists in only a few countries.

As Diego Rodà continued building his empire in Slovakia, he was eventually able to draw on the resources and talents of another Calabrian family, the Vadalàs. Antonino Vadalà, a Calabrian cattleman, married Rodà’s daughter Elisabetta, and the couple also settled in Slovakia.

Vadalà would become a central player in the story of Jan Kuciak. The slain Slovak journalist was investigating the Calabrian and his connections to then-Prime Minister Fico when he was killed.

Shortly after the killings, Vadalà was charged by Italian prosecutors with trafficking drugs for the ‘Ndrangheta.

He and Rodà were both detained in Slovakia after the murders, but

Semi-naked climate change protesters interrupted a House of Commons Brexit debate and glued their hands to the glass of the public gallery, spending almost 20 minutes with their buttocks facing the chamber.

MPs attempted to continue the debate during the peaceful protest by 11 activists from Extinction Rebellion, though several made coded mentions to the protest in their speeches.

Protesters had slogans daubed on their chests, including “for all life” and “SOS” and two more wore grey body paint and elephant masks, which the group said referred to climate change as “the elephant in the room”.

      Sommer and Cayne were divorced in July 2010 in Jefferson County, Texas.
In the divorce decree, the trial court (1) appointed the parents as joint managing

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Marcos Campos takes an intermediate English class at the HarborOne Multicultural Banking Center.

Originally from Peru, Campos has been in Randolph for two months visiting his sick mother. He decided to take advantage of his time in the states to perfect his English.

“I want to perfect my English because I want to move to the United States and continue my career in information security,” said Campos, 24,


how to select the correct teacher, and how to make sure they had the right skills, were considered as the center began to take shape.

Despite some challenges, the center has been recognized on a national and international level. Other banking centers and credit unions have tried to duplicate the center. Special visitors to the center include the prime minister and ambassador of Cape Verde, along with other representatives of credit unions and community banks across the states.

Agueda Teixeira, 28, moved to Brockton from Cape Verde 18 months ago. Today, she works at the local Market Basket, but in Cape Verde, she worked as an elementary school teacher.

Teixiera is also enrolled in the intermediate English class at the center.

But that was not enough for the gay couple. Even though they got their ceremony, they wanted to punish the Christian who had declined to conduct it. The case ended up in the courts. And the result? Those with religious objections to conducting such ceremonies now face the loss of their jobs.

COLLEGE PARK – The pins cracked in the ninth frame and Baltimore’s best bowler, Danny Wiseman, saw his dream slowly slip away as he lost his lead in the 1992 Firestone Tournament of Champions semi-final match.

In order to move on to the championship game, he needed two strikes and two pins in the 10th frame. Unfortunately, one pin remained standing after he rolled the first ball. Almost immediately, he buried his head into his hands as the room went silent. Game over.

It was a hard loss to swallow knowing he couldn’t win for his father, who was sitting just a few feet behind him. It was the last tournament his terminally-ill father watched him compete in before he died.

“Not winning that title has always bugged me,” he said.he would become a great bowler.

“He lived, ate and drank bowling. If he wasn’t practicing, he was watching the adults bowl,” he said. “Danny would always be talking to good bowlers. He was enamored with bowling.”

Wiseman progressed very quickly as a junior bowler. At 15, he became the youngest bowler in Maryland to bowl a perfect 300 game.

“In that era, a 15-year-old shooting a perfect game was unheard of, especially in this area,” Wiseman said.

A PROFESSIONAL CAREER

Wiseman continued to perfect his game, moving up to the local adult league right after high school. He transitioned to the PBA tour circuit in his early 20s.

Wiseman started his professional career just as the sport’s popularity was beginning to wane. Though many well-known bowlers were still competing, the game was overshadowed


on television by other sports like football, according to experts.

At that time, many corporate sponsors were pulling their support and television networks had stopped airing tournaments, Hamilton said. Today, ESPN is the only network that broadcasts tournaments during the PBA season.

Kuhn said that local bowlers recognized Wiseman as a “top dog” in Baltimore. But Wiseman knew he had to adapt to larger tournaments, Kuhn said.

“I found out that I was a big fish in a little pond, so to speak,” Wiseman said of his early local career. “These guys from around the country and the world — they could bowl.”

During his first season, he won a few tournaments locally, but in his second year on tour failed to win on any of the six stops he made.

In 1990,and preferred not to do things in organized groups, he said.

Wiseman won several titles in back-to-back years from 2000 leading up to his major title win at the Miller High Life Masters in 2004. It was another memorable moment in his career, which took him back to his childhood.

The tournament’s stage was constructed in the center of Miller Park in Milwaukee. Baseball was one of Wiseman’s passions as a kid. Bowling on the first base line of the ballpark with 5,000 to 6,000 people watching was huge, he said.

END OF HIS CAREER

Wiseman dealt with serious injuries as his career continued. In 2005, a car accident injured his neck and gave him a concussion. He also broke his ankle and a toe, which hurt his game.

Wiseman said he never


felt the same after those injuries and has struggled since then, though he still loves the game and continues to perform rather successfully.

In 2008, he won the PBA Exempt Doubles Classic with his tournament partner Michael Fagan.

“Danny was always a good sport,” Fagan said. “He was always there helping other guys, especially in a sport that was all about the individual.”

Over the course of his career, Wiseman won one major title — the Miller High Life Masters — and 23 other regional or national titles.

Today, Wiseman considers himself a semi-retired bowler.

In October, he competed in the 2013 World Series of Bowling in Las Vegas, where he placed 30th overall — missing the top 24 by 30 pins.

Going forward, Wiseman said he plans to bowl more regional tournaments closerA WOMAN lost seven teeth after she and four lesbian friends were reportedly brutally attacked by more than 15 men in a homophobic attack.

One of the women was left covered in blood in the apparent hate crime, which saw the men pounce on the group while they were on a night out in Portsmouth.

The women, speaking to Portsmouth's The News, said they had left the Blue Anchor pub on Kingston Road last Sunday, with the happy group singing "I'm in the Mood for Dancing" before the nearby group of men started to shout homophobic abuse.

They said


the men then started beating one of the women, turning on her friends as they desperately tried to help.

A sister of one of the women said that she had begged for the men to stop, saying: "It was horrendous. I've never seen anything like it. I've had nightmares."

"Affirmative Action and Reparations After the 2016 Elections By: Katherine Mills".

I stood nervously by my girlfriend of 2 years as she began her presentation to a room full of our classmates and peers. We were at the Ubuntu Equality Community Center just off campus, in the rough part of town. This was the beginning of our Junior year at an urban-campus university in the mid-Atlantic US. Kat had always been a crusader for social justice, equality and harmonious race relations. Our more cynical friends had always said that it was just a way to rationalize her addiction to dark meat.

Although it was true that as part of our "one-way open relationship", she regularly went to house parties


in the rough parts of town, and took basketball players back to her studio apartment while I was on campus studying (I had a real major, after all, not Women's Studies like her...), she was my first true love and I was completely subservient. I was hooked on her perky tits and plump white ass. Even though we rarely had sexual intercourse (I was too small for her favorite position, doggy-style), I ate her ass and pussy on a daily basis. She had explained to me numerous times, through the lens of Feminist theory, why her pleasure was more important. I didn't quite understand all her complicated postmodern explanations, and it was much easier (and more pleasant) to just go down on her than to argue about somethingI couldn't possibly understand.

She had begun the presentation by sharing a lot of demographic statistics. Race and age, mostly. She talked about the uprising of the oppressive majority. The hegemony of the patriarchy. She talked about how the election results were because of a "white-lash". She deconstructed "white-lash" as coming from white men's insecurities. The audience, a mix of white female undergraduates from the Women's Studies program and the young black male Community Center organizers, murmured in agreement.

"As white male insecurities continue to manifest in political coups, what is the solution? How can we, in 2016, close the gaps that divide us and come to a more equal, harmonious social order?" She asked, breathlessly. The crowd tittered.

"Affirmative action!" Yelled out a young woman in front. The small crowd


made sounds of approval and light clapping followed. "Reparations!" howled a young man on the perimeter of the crowd. A young redhead piped up, "Integration!".

"Excellent, thank you," Kat continued. "These are all good parts of the solution. I'd like to talk specifically about an unusual, if not radical, solution based on these ideas. Most of you are courting with this already, but academia has yet to catch up with this new social movement." She clicked the next slide. Some of the women in the crowd giggled.

The slide, boldly titled "BIOLOGICAL INTEGRATION", contained tables of statistics about the rise in interracial pregnancy. Her presentation took on a defensive tone as she tried to calm down the tittering girls. "The dynamic is changing! As the social stigma of interracial relationshipsfor this, which I will go into later," The group was nodding along. An alternative-looking, punkish blonde girl offered, "Black men have bigger dicks!" Several of the women murmured sounds of assent and agreement. I heard the redhead from before lean into her friend and say, "Once you go black..." before trailing off.

Kat nodded emphatically and smiled. "Let's actually discuss this. I have a slide, um..." She clicked a few times and the slides blipped by, briefly showing stats about slavery and race relations. "Ah, here," she stopped on a slide with a plot chart titled *Women's Real Ideal Penis Size Preferences*. "Sexual relationships under the hegemony of white men have been a great suffering for white women. A majority of white women dating white men do not
