western portion of this belt wraps around the northwest (southwest in the Southern Hemisphere) side of the cyclone, which can contain moderate to heavy precipitation. If the air mass is cold enough, the precipitation falls in the form of heavy snow. Theory from the 1980s talked about the presence of a cold conveyor belt originating north of the warm front and flowing along a clockwise path (in the northern hemisphere) into the main belt of the westerlies aloft, but there has been conflicting evidence as to whether or not this phenomenon actually exists.

The revelation that a substantial amount of players had played in VR, despite the difficulty in acquiring the HMD at present, seems to have instilled faith in the new medium, as Capcom has declared their intentions to invest in more VR content.

Revealed as part of a press release revealing the company’s financial results for the nine month period ending December 2016, Capcom addressed the success of big titles such as Dead Rising 4 and, of course, Resident Evil 7 biohazard, while stating that spin-off titles such as Monster Hunter Stories received a ‘soft’ reception by

The brief was presented as part of a preparatory project for the final-year project, titled A Primer Project, Unfold Story Spaces (Paradigm of Pursuance). In essence, the project is targeted at uncovering the potential of under utilised spaces and redefining the spaces by introducing attractive features that bridge people.

DESIGN OBJECTIVES
For Design Studio 3 (design module that featured this project), Primer Project, Unfold Story Spaces acts as a portal and platform to reach out to the community and advocate the spaces where ‘stories’ are possibly unfolded in order to disclose, develop and extend community participation and bonding. The Paradigm of Pursuance acts as an important opportunity for developing social awareness through community activities, which will enliven existing public spaces.

Story Spaces seeks to influence hearts and minds by pursuing multipleand by keeping in line with the budget available. In relation to the design of the project, the open concept of the structure had to be readily waterproof and finished to protect itself against weathering and erosion.

Waterproof and durable marine plywood was obtained from local suppliers and used for the façade, flooring and movable furnishing. It is imperative for the durability of the structure against the typical tropical weather of Singapore. There was also a need for the retention of warm aesthetics to match the contextual natural theme in the area. In addition, the conceptual idea was developed to use materials that are immediately modifiable by the users themselves and wood was a good candidate for such usage.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court is taking on a major test of LGBT rights in cases that look at whether federal civil rights law bans job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

The justices said Monday they will hear cases involving people who claim they were fired because of their sexual orientation and another that involves a funeral home employee who was fired after disclosing that she was transitioning from male to female and dressed as a woman.

The cases will be argued in the fall, with decisions likely by June 2020 in the middle of the presidential election campaign.

The issue is whether Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, protects LGBT people from job discrimination. Title VIItreating LGBT discrimination claims as sex discrimination, but the Trump administration has changed course. The Trump Justice Department has argued that Title VII was not intended to provide protections to gay or transgender workers. The administration also separately withdrew Obama-era guidance to educators to treat claims of transgender students as sex discrimination.

President Donald Trump has appointed two justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

The justices will take up three cases in the fall.

In one, the federal appeals court in New York ruled in favor of a gay skydiving instructor who claimed he was fired because of his sexual orientation. The full 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10-3 that it was abandoning its earlier holding that Title VII didn't cover sexual orientation because "legal doctrine evolves."

The court held


that "sexual orientation discrimination is motivated, at least in part, by sex and is thus a subset of sex discrimination."

The ruling was a victory for the relatives of Donald Zarda, who was fired in 2010 from a skydiving job in Central Islip, New York, that required him to strap himself tightly to clients so they could jump in tandem from an airplane. He tried to put a woman with whom he was jumping at ease by explaining that he was gay. The school fired Zarda after the woman's boyfriend called to complain.

Zarda died in a wingsuit accident in Switzerland in 2014.

The second case is from Georgia, where the federal appeals court ruled against a gay employee of Clayton County, in the Atlanta suburbs. Gerald Bostock claimed he wasfired in 2013 because he is gay. The county argues that Bostock was let go because of the results of an audit of funds he managed.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Bostock's claim in a three-page opinion that noted the court was bound by a 1979 decision that held "discharge for homosexuality is not prohibited by Title VII."

The third case comes from Michigan, where a funeral home fired a transgender woman. The appeals court in Cincinnati ruled that the firing constituted sex discrimination under federal law.

The funeral home argues in part that Congress was not thinking about transgender people when it included sex discrimination in Title VII.

The law prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of "race, color, religion, sex or national origin."

in the efforts to end the shutdown, increase the debt ceiling and build a real budget deficit reduction strategy. It became a drama with a never-ending number of acts. It came down to the bitter end for a passable compromise. This was a result of the warring factions among House Republicans and prodding from a handful of very conservative Senate Republicans to hold their ground. With the compromise, the war has not ended.

This is not how mature responsible adults are supposed to work together. This is not how elected officials work in the best interest of a nation, especially this one. Unfortunately, the last few weeks have shown that political positions and ideology trump the best interests of this nation’s citizens, economic interests and world standing. There isothers, given their roles during this Congressional and Administration theatre. Speaker John Boehner, whose speakership was thought to be on the ropes, will survive. Senators Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Joe Manchin and a few other senators’ stock has risen. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stock also rose because she continued to offer to work with the Speaker and deliver her block of votes to end the shutdown. The obstructionist tea party members in both the House and Senate have lost something, but it is not clear what and for how long. That will be determined by several upcoming votes in Congress and the results of several primaries before the mid-term elections. Senator Rand Paul came out untainted by the actions of others, namely Senator Ted Cruz,

One casualty of the delay in reauthorizing the farm bill is the insurance reimbursement to cattle farmers for the cattle killed as a result of the freakish snowstorm in South Dakota. Without reauthorizations, there is no program authorized to provide the funds.

O5-1 laid sprawled out on the desert ground and slowly succumbed to death. The prospect of death had never truly hit O5-1, and in his mind it never would have. Alas, the Fountain of Youth can only do so much, and being miles away from it in the middle of nowhere after being shot is certainly an unfortunate position to be in for an O5 member. O5-1 attempted to stand, only to discover that he had lost all feeling in his legs.

He stared into the blue sky, the sun having no effect on him becoming colder and colder by the second. He realized no one would come, and accepted it, just as a shadow suddenly cast over him. He looked to his right and saw, on the rock beside him, a man in a black suit and pants, his face somehow covered in shadow. As O5-1's eyes widened, the suited man took out a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket, took one cigarette out, and offered it to O5-1.

Anime about a teenager with superpowers who hunts demons

It's this anime where there's this teenager. He lives alone and has superpowers, but people at school don't know; he's also a bit of a loner.
I remember at some point, maybe in the first episode, this girl that goes to his school is on a train and looks out the window to see him killing someone (pretty sure he was killing a demon), and she sees this supernatural blue light (from a power or something).
I'm also fairly certain this kid hunts demons and stuff.

From MyAnimeList:

Riding the bus one day, Sakurakouji Sakura looks out the window to see people being burned alive with a bluefire and a boy her age who's unharmed and standing over the people.
She comes back to the site the next day and there are no corpses or evidence of any kind of murder, just a small fire. She then goes to class to find there's a new transfer student, Oogami Rei, who looks exactly like the boy she saw before and wears a black glove only on his left hand.
Oogami is a Code Breaker, one who "does not exist". He is a seemingly cold-blooded killer who follows the principle of "an eye for an eye", to "use evil against evil". Convinced that killing is not right, Sakurakouji sets out to stop him and penetrate his icy heart.

EghtesadOnline: More than 40 international business and technology organizations representing hundreds of companies on Friday expressed “deep concerns” to the Chinese government about a new cyber security law they said would likely increase the separation between China and the rest of the world economy.

According to Reuters, Beijing on Monday adopted a cyber security law it called necessary to counter growing threats of hacking and terrorism.

The measure, to take effect in June 2017, was swiftly condemned by overseas critics, including business and human rights groups. They said it threatens to shut foreign technology companies out of various sectors deemed "critical", and includes contentious requirements for security reviews and for data to be stored on servers in China.

Chinese officials have said it would not interfere with foreign business interests.

In theirletter, the groups warned that Beijing's efforts to control more of China's Internet and technology would "effectively erect trade barriers along national boundaries" while failing to achieve its security objectives.

The cyber security law would also burden industry and undermine "the foundation of China’s relations with its commercial partners,” the groups wrote in a letter addressed to the Chinese Communist Party Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs.

The letter’s signatories include the Information Technology Industry Council, the Internet Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Australian Industry Group and BusinessEurope, among others.

The law's adoption comes amid a broad crackdown by President Xi Jinping on civil society, including rights lawyers and the media, which critics say is meant to quash dissent.

From February 1 to December 18, 1981 plaintiff Manuel Ledesma was a member of the Teamsters Union and was on strike against his employer, Bil-Mar Foods, Inc. of Borculo, Michigan.  His family received food stamps from February 1 until September 30 of that year.  The regulation promulgated by the Secretary in conformity to the 1981 amendments was published on September 4, 1981, see 41 Fed.Reg. 44,723 (1981), and on October 1, 1981 Ledesma's family stopped receiving stamps.  Manuel's wife Dorothy appealed the family's disqualification from the food stamp program to the Michigan Department of Social Services, which is charged under federal law with responsibility for administering the Act in Michigan.  The Department held that thethe technology and techniques needed to perform EVAs (Extra-Vehicular Activities)

Meeting all of these objectives was necessary if the Apollo lunar program were to be successful.

Gemini was a two-man spacecraft that was roughly conical in shape with a base diameter of 3.3 meters which stood 5.8 meters tall. Built by the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (which merged with Douglas in 1967 to become McDonnell Douglas which subsequently merged with Boeing 30 years later), it consisted of two major sections. The first section was the reentry module which housed the crew, their equipment, food supplies and so on in orbit as well as the recovery systems needed to safely return them to Earth. The nose of this module also contained an L-band radar system for orbital rendezvous operations. Unlike today’s crewed


modified Titan II ICBM built by Martin Marietta (which is now part of Lockheed Martin). A number of modifications were made to simplify the operation of this rocket, smooth out its ride and improve its reliability to support crewed missions. With the Gemini spacecraft mounted on top, the Titan II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle) was 33 meters tall and had a fully fueled launch mass of about 154 metric tons.

Since its first manned mission in March 1965, the Gemini program had made steady progress in meeting its objectives in support of Apollo over the following 15 months. A series of three long duration missions culminating in the two-week flight of Gemini 7 in December 1965 demonstrated that a crew and its spacecraft could operate in space for periodsof time longer than that needed for Apollo to land on the Moon and return (see “Gemini 7: Two Weeks in the Front Seat of a Volkswagen“). With this major program objective met, the rest of the Gemini missions concentrated on perfecting rendezvous and docking techniques as well developing the skills needed to perform EVAs.

Gemini 6 successfully performed the first rendezvous using Gemini 7 as a target (see “Rendezvous in Space: Gemini 6 and 7”). Gemini 8 completed the first docking in orbit in March 1966 although its mission was cut short due to a thruster malfunction (see “Gemini 8: The First Docking in Space”). Gemini 9 attempted to repeat the feat of its predecessor in June with a faster and more aggressive rendezvous profile but was unable


to dock with its target because its launch shroud had failed to jettison properly (see “The Angry Alligator & The Snake: The Mission of Gemini 9”). Difficulties were also encountered during the mission’s EVA forcing it to be cut short due to astronaut fatigue. The objectives of the Gemini 10 mission were to continue gaining experience in rendezvous and docking testing new tools and techniques as well as addressing the EVA issues.

The Gemini 10 Mission Plan

On January 24, 1966 NASA announced the crew for the Gemini 10 mission. The primary crew consisted of USN Commander John W. Young as the command pilot and USAF Major Michael Collins as the pilot. The 35-year old Young was a test pilot before being selected as part of NASA’s second group ofastronauts in September 1962 and had previously flown as the pilot of the Gemini 3 mission with veteran astronaut Gus Grissom in March 1965 (see “The Mission of Gemini 3”). Collins, who was also 35 years old, was a West Point graduate and served as a test pilot before being selected as part of NASA’s third group of astronauts in October 1963. This was going to be his first flight in space.

The original backup crew for the Gemini 10 mission were to be USN Lt. Commander James Lovell, who had been the pilot on the record-setting Gemini 7 mission, and rookie astronaut USAF Major Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. With the death of the original primary crew of the Gemini 9 mission, Elliot See and USAF Captain Charles Bassett, on


February 28, 1966 when their T-38 jet crashed, Lovell and Aldrin became the new backup crew for Gemini 9 as the original back up crew of USAF Major Thomas P. Stafford and USN Lieutenant Eugene A. Cernan moved up to become the prime crew. On March 21, NASA announced the replacement Gemini 10 backup crew: USN Lt. Commander Alan Bean as command pilot and USMC Major Clifton Williams as pilot. Both rookies had extensive experience as test pilots before joining NASA as part of its third astronaut group along with Mike Collins.

Like the previous two missions, the first set of objectives for the Gemini 10 mission centered on orbital rendezvous and docking. The docking target chosen for the Gemini program was a modified Agena D upper stage knownas the Gemini Agena Target Vehicle (GATV) launched into orbit using the SLV-3 (Standard Launch Vehicle-3) version of the Atlas booster built by General Dynamics. Built by the Lockheed Missile and Space Company (which is now part of the aerospace giant, Lockheed Martin), the Agena D not only served as an upper stage for use with Thor, Atlas and (by 1966) the Titan IIIB rockets, but could also be integrated into range of Defense Department payloads such as the Corona reconnaissance satellites to provide in-orbit support functions during these missions. The standardized Agena D, with its modular design, could be easily modified to serve as a docking target for Gemini.

In addition to modifications to its primary and secondary propulsion systems to support its role as a docking target,


the forward end of the Agena D was fitted with an auxiliary rack holding special rendezvous and telemetry equipment. Also added were strobe lights and an L-band radar transponder to aid in rendezvous operations as well as command equipment to allow the GATV to be controlled from the ground or by the Gemini crew. A cone shaped target docking adapter (TDA), which was under a shroud during launch, was added to the forward end of the stage to allow the nose of the Gemini reentry module to dock with the Agena and mechanically lock the two spacecraft together. Once in orbit, the GATV was 9.7 meters long with a mass of about 3,200 kilograms.

A number of different rendezvous modes with the GATV had been identified during theoretical studiesby the astronauts as well as tracking information from the ground. No docking would be attempted with Agena 8.

The other major mission objectives centered on gaining EVA experience. While the first short EVA performed by Ed White during the Gemini 4 mission in June 1965 went well (see “The Forgotten Mission of Gemini 4”), the same could not be said for the next EVA performed by Gene Cernan during the Gemini 9 mission a year later. Cernan became dangerously fatigued during his long EVA as he struggled to perform the simplest tasks. Suit-related mobility problems, the lack of adequate handholds and foot restraints as well as fogging issues with Cernan’s helmet faceplate conspired to force an early end to this EVA. Performing EVAs was turning out to be


experiments would also be followed. With a dual rendezvous involving three spacecraft and a pair of EVAs accomplished during less than three days in orbit, the Gemini 10 mission would be the most complex crewed spaceflight attempted to date.

The Start of the Mission

The first major piece of mission hardware to be shipped for launch was Gemini spacecraft number 10 which left McDonnell’s facility in St. Louis, Missouri on May 13, 1966. Three days later, the GATV-5005 which would serve as the Agena 10 rendezvous and docking target arrived at Cape Kennedy. As testing on Gemini and the Agena spacecraft began, the mission’s Titan II launch vehicle, GLV-10 serial number 62-12565, arrived at the Cape on May 20 and was erected on its pad at Launch Complex 19 onJune 8 – just five days after the successful launch of the Gemini 9A mission.

The Atlas rocket that was originally earmarked to launch Agena 10, serial number TLV-5304, had already been diverted to launch a backup target known as the Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) for the Gemini 9A mission on June 1 after the loss of its original GATV. A replacement Atlas, TLV-5305, was delivered on June 19 and erected on the pad at LC-14 six days later. The Agena 10 target was mated to the Atlas on July 1. Spacecraft number 10 was mated with its Titan II launch vehicle on July 5 for the start of a series of final tests. With the successful completion of the Simulated Flight Test on July 13 with dual


countdowns for the launch of the Agena and Gemini, the first launch attempt was set for July 18.

Because of the need to rendezvous with the unpowered Agena 8 in its storage orbit about two days after liftoff, the launches for this mission were scheduled for much later in the day than the previous Gemini flights. The first craft scheduled for launch was Agena 10 at 3:39 PM EDT which would be followed by Gemini 10 and its 35-second launch window about 100 minutes later as the Agena was completing its first orbit. In order to make the most of their first hours in space and dock with the Agena during the fourth revolution, Young and Collins went to bed at 2:00 AM on launch day and were wokenlarge maneuvers to correct as Gemini approached Agena 10. Rendezvous was completed five hours and 21 minutes after launch and hard docking was achieved 31 minutes later. Unfortunately, Gemini 10 had consumed 181 kilograms of OAMS propellant during its first docking because of the extra maneuvering required from the alignment error – 63 kilograms more than had been budgeted and triple the amount consumed during earlier missions. Mission control cancelled subsequent docking and station keeping exercises that had been planned. Gemini and Agena would remain docked for the next 38 hours and 47 minutes.

About six and a half hours into the mission, Young and Collins started preparations for the next phase of their mission: a series of maneuvers of the combined spacecraft using the Agena’s propulsion system for


Alexei Leonov in March 1965 (see “The Mission of Voskhod 2“).

With the Agena dominating the view out of their windows, Young and Collins could not fully appreciate the perspective from their new high orbit. Instead, their post-flight descriptions were dominated by the spectacular sight of the Agena’s engine firing and the odd sensation of pulling negative-gs. Nine hours into the flight, the crew started their first sleep period in orbit as their spacecraft slowly got into phase with the orbit of Agena 8.

The Second Day

After sleeping fitfully, Young and Collins were ready to start their first full day in orbit at the end of their rest period 18 hours after launch. At 20 hours and 20 minutes after launch, the Agena’s main engine was fired once again tobegin his first EVA. After orbital sunset, Collins successfully exposed 22 frames of film to observe the southern part of the Milky Way from the stars β Crucis to γ Velorum at UV wavelengths. Young helped identify the stars as he controlled the attitude of the spacecraft during the session. By orbital dawn, Collins began his next set of tasks but was unable to complete them as his eyes began to fill with tears. Initially Collins thought that maybe the new anti-fogging compound applied to the inside of his helmet’s faceplate was the cause but Young soon started having the same problem as well as noticing a strange smell.

The decision was made to cut the standup EVA short to assess the problem. After an EVA of only 49


minutes, the hatch was finally secured about six minutes earlier than originally planned. Young and Collins suspected that the strange smell might have been caused by the lithium hydroxide used to remove the carbon dioxide from the crew’s air. Eventually the problem was traced having both suit fans on simultaneously. One of the fans was shut down and the strange smell disappeared. After a good meal, the crew began their second sleep period about 30 hours after launch. Fatigued by the day’s activities, Young and Collins slept much better this time around.

The Last Day and the Return Home

After a getting some much needed sleep, the astronauts’ second full day in orbit started with system checks, a meal and experiments. A couple of hours after the end of their8 at the impossible range of 176 kilometers but it turned out to be the newly freed Agena 10 only 5½ kilometers away. Agena 8 was finally spotted at a range of 30 to 37 kilometers right where it was predicted to be. At mission elapsed time of 47 hours and 26 minutes, Young started the final closure maneuvers and finally came to a stop about three meters from Agena 8. Despite having no power, their target was pretty stable and was deemed safe for Collins to approach during his EVA.

With Young closely watching his propellant usage, Collins opened his hatch at orbital dawn for his second EVA 48 hours and 41 minutes after launch. Attached to Gemini 10 by his 15-meter umbilical, Collins exited the spacecraft and


as Cernan had during his EVA with every task taking much longer than planned or rehearsed during training. Ultimately, Collins was unable to attach a replacement experiment panel for fear of losing the panel he had just retrieved. While struggling to get his sample back into the Gemini cabin, he lost to space the 70 mm camera that was being used to record his work. Because of this and the malfunction of a second camera Young was using, there are no images of Collins EVA or of Agena 8.

Collins then unsnapped a buckle on his umbilical allowing it to unfurl from six meters to its full 15 meter length so that he could better evaluate the performance of the HHMU. But before he had a chance to performhis evaluation, Mission Control cut the EVA short because of their concerns about propellant use during station keeping. Every time Collins pushed off Gemini or tugged on his umbilical line, Young had to fire Gemini’s thrusters to maintain position and attitude expending precious propellant in the process. With some difficulty as Collins struggled with his rigid pressure suit and his long umbilical, he got back inside with Young’s help and closed the hatch 39 minutes after the EVA had started. Between Cernan on Gemini 9A and Collins on this mission, a total of three hours and 41 minutes of EVA time had been logged. Although problems had been encountered which remained to be rectified, at least it had been shown that astronauts could perform tasks outside their spacecraft.

An


hour and 12 minutes after the end of the second EVA, the hatch was opened for one last time so that the umbilical, ELSS and other equipment no longer needed could be thrown overboard. At mission elapsed time of 51 hours and 38 minutes, Young fired the OAMS thrusters to slow Gemini 10 by 30 meters per second lowering the perigee to just 106 kilometers in preparation for the return home. For the balance of the day, Young and Collins performed more experiments including photography of the Earth and its weather before settling down for their last rest period of the mission.

Young and Collins woke up about 63 hours after launch for a meal, systems checks and more experiments before their return.

When was the last time you felt a sense of pride (in yourself)? LAURA, NICE, FRANCE

Dear David and Laura,

Recently, I watched the movie Mandy with my sons – a terrifying but beautiful film. The song ‘Starless’ by King Crimson was used to great effect during the opening credits. My sons agreed that this was an amazing song, which made me happy because when I was a teenager I was a huge King Crimson fan. King Crimson was able to combine extraordinary moments of purity and fragility with super heavy rock ‘n’ roll, and maybe they imprinted somewhere in my mind the template for some of the more schizophrenic Bad Seeds songs. King Crimson were masters of the sudden violent eruption.

Something Funny

As we are often known to do, we were spending some time in the local library this week. We stumbled on a ridiculous book. It appears to be the work of a conspiracy theory group in the western United States, but it specifically mentions the VOSJ, so we thought we would take a look.

The "book" in question is called Taking Off the Blindfold, by G.C. Hatonn. Essentially, it espouses the theory that the entire world is controlled by a Jewish/Satanist group of which HM Queen Elizabeth II is a part. The following paragraph comes from the section of chapter 1 entitled "Knights of the Order of the Garter:"

The Knights of the Order of the Garter are the leaders of the Committee of 300, Queen ElizabethII’s most trusted “privy council”. When I did my research on the Order of St. John of Jerusalem some years ago, I went to Oxford to talk with one of the Masters who is a specialist on ancient and modern British traditions. He told me that the Knights of the Garter are the inner sanctum, the elite of the elite of Her Majesty’s Most Venerable Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Let me say this is not the original order founded by the true Christian warrior, Peter Gerard, but is typical of many fine institutions that are taken over and destroyed from the inside, while yet appearing to the uninitiated to be the original.

The next section is entitled "Order of Jerusalem (and a Little Satanism!)" and goes more


specifically into the VOSJ. Here, the author states:

I learned from the papers in the museum named after Victoria that she changed the name of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in 1885 in order to break away from the Catholic connection of the Order’s founder, Peter Gerard, and renamed it the “Protestant Most Venerable Order of Jerusalem.” Membership was open to every oligarchical family that had made its fortune in the China opium trade and every thoroughly decadent family received a place in the ‘new order.’

The next section brings the discussion to Canada discusses "the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, who control Canadian commerce in all of its facets." Now we had a long discussion about this book amongst ourselves. Some of us wanted to makewould also track where customers enter and leave the T system, and allow the authority to assess fares using different criteria – length-of-ride or time-of-day, for example.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service

The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the county-wide, statutory emergency fire and rescue service for the metropolitan county of West Yorkshire, England. It is administered by a joint authority of 22 people who are appointed annually from the five metropolitan boroughs of West Yorkshire, known as the Fire and Rescue Authority.

West Yorkshire covers an area of approximately  which includes remote moorland, rural villages, large towns and cities as well as Leeds Bradford International Airport.  The fire and rescue service's headquarters are located at Oakroyd Hall, Bradford Road, Birkenshaw, Bradford. There is also a large training centre at Birkenshaw used by other authorities besides West Yorkshire.

In 2006, the service was listed as being the fourth largest in England (behind London,typically worked a 55-hour week and its 220 long-haul drivers averaged 10 hours a night.

A trunk driver travelling from the Durham depot to the main hub at Atherstone could complete the journey in less than four hours but, by the time his trailer has been tipped and then reloaded, he has already clocked up six hours, making it impossible to return to Durham in the remaining two hours.

The whole of TNT?s investment in UK distribution depots is centred around a 10-hour night shift. In fact, 20 out of 50 nationwide depots are more than three hours away from the nearest sorting hub at Tamworth, built at a cost of #22 million.

the defendants' motion for summary judgment.   The district court held, as a matter of law, that Mr. Ducote is not a seaman because the spud barge on which he worked is not a vessel.   Because we find that a reasonable juror could conclude that the spud barge was a vessel, we reverse and remand.

BACKGROUND

2
On March 23, 1988, Robert Ducote was operating a dragline/crane from the deck of a spud barge located on the Red River near Natchitoches, Louisiana.   He was allegedly injured when the crane began to tip over and he was forced to jump out of the cab.   Mr. Ducote was driving pilings as part of a piledriving and revetment project being performed for the United States Army Corpsof Engineers.   Mr. Ducote was hired by either the general contractor, V. Keeler and Company, Inc., or the joint venture of Greg O'Neal and E & B Construction Company, which was supplying all of the labor and equipment.

3
In August of 1988, Mr. Ducote and his wife brought suit against Keeler and others1 claiming compensation as a Jones Act seaman or, alternatively, as a maritime worker entitled to damages for vessel negligence under § 5(b) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act.   In September 1990, after several defendants had been dismissed, Robert Murray Collins, as Representative of Certain Underwriters at Lloyd's, London, filed a motion for summary judgment.   In October 1990, Employers National Insurance Company joined in the motion for summary judgment

Night Knight – God Is A Motherfucker

In the press email regarding the release of Night Knight's debut album 'God Is A Motherfucker', its frontman and lead songwriter Serafeim Giannakopoulos is described as "one of the most active musicians in the Greek underground rock scene". A claim as bold as that usually incurs derision and an inclination to avoid – but a listen to this solo effort, with foreknowledge of his drumming duties with the notorious Planet of Zeus, led me to believe it.

'God Is A Motherfucker' touts itself as a classic rock album, parts of it filling the mandate of instant, riffy, gritty AC/DC gratification – opener 'Born Again' is a bonafide straight-up rock tune, while 'Turned Back Blues' shows its hand a little earlywith guitar-crunch and little else. But the album has more than a few moments of real introspection and delicate care, not to mention some monumental swerves into different genres and styles. 'Turn Back Time' is a real stand-out song and a personal favourite in this case, eschewing the precedent set by the album's outset for 'In Rainbows'-y construction and soaring instrumental mid-sections. 'Us' reminds of 'You Were A Dick'-era Idaho and 'Crystal Rivers' comprises desert-blues telecaster tone a la She Keeps Bees, and all of these tracks sit in the same palette. Often, these trend-bucking tunes show up the more classically rocky tunes of the album; its title-track doesn't offer as much by the way of dynamics or progression. The album's closer 'Set It On Fire' is another


"the biggest deal in Shark Tank history". iCapsulate founder Kane Bodiam says just before the episode of Shark Tank aired he was contacted and told Banks was pulling his investment because iCapsulate did not have biodegradable capsules.

Bodiam claims he did not proceed with biodegradable capsules because Banks did not get back to him. "The investment was important but we could see straight away that nothing was going to eventuate we could see straight away the goal posts were constantly changing," Bodiam says. Bodiam admits Shark Tank was good for promoting iCapsulate. Cancer Aid was one of only four businesses last year which got a deal that came through.

I.e. not actually free-market capitalism. So why refer to it as such?

I'm puzzled by the number of people who call the economic system of the US
free-market capitalism. It's corporatism, or state capitalism, or a mixed
economy, or something else. But not free-market capitalism.

Much like people point to the state of health care and health insurance in the

Narcotic Enforcement of the State of California for ten years, went to 3934 East McKenzie in Fresno on December 1, 1965; he had obtained a search warrant; he did not knock at the door but went into the house from the alley through the rear door. He was accompanied by Agents Lacey and Sherwood from his office, Officers Thrasher and Packard from the Fresno Police Department, and a representative of the Fresno district attorney's office. Shoemaker first saw Lydia Reyes standing at a kitchen table, and then Perez in the living room. Perez placed one hand to his mouth and took a step toward the front door. Shoemaker and Agent Sherwood seized Perez and a struggle followed, which caused defendant to fall to the floor. The officers didnot retrieve what they testified Perez put in his mouth. At that time, Shoemaker left the living room and returned to the kitchen; when he again walked into the living room, Agent Lacey arrested Perez. Shoemaker testified that some five or ten minutes after the arrest, Perez stated, "Man, that was close. I just swallowed two papers." The officers searched the entire house and took Perez and Miss Reyes with them to be booked at the jail.
 John L. Lacey, a California narcotics agent, testified that he was also in the house at the time of the arrest, and that, while the scuffling was going on, he noticed something orange, which he thought was a balloon, in defendant's mouth, and then heard defendant yell, "I am sorry. I


swallowed it." Lacey testified that he heard Perez say, after his arrest, "Boy, that was sure close. I swallowed two papers."
 Gilbert D. Thrasher, a Fresno police officer in charge of the narcotics detail, was also in the residence at the time of the arrest; he testified that after entering the front door he immediately went to the kitchen area, taking Lydia Reyes from the *278 living room to the kitchen with him, and that he there noticed a blackened spoon lying on the drainboard, a burned white paper in the wastebasket, a burned match cover on the ashtray, a hypodermic needle lying on the floor near the wastebasket by the sink, and an eye dropper in the wastebasket along with some parts of balloons.
 Louis Moller, aheroin are made, was improperly admitted in evidence because when the raid took place the officers did not preliminarily request admittance, pursuant to the requirements of section 1531 of the Penal Code. The officers were, in fact, armed with a search warrant for the house in question; all of them except Officer Thrasher went to the back door, and Thrasher went to the front door. Officer Shoemaker was asked whether he entered the rear door, and he said that he did. He said that the door had a latch on it; that he put his hand through the screen and unlatched it. He was asked if he did not knock on the door or press the bell button for entry, and he stated that there was no bell


behalf of the People. If there is a difference, and there were many differences, in the evidence received at the trial as between the appellant and his companion on the one hand and the peace officers on the other, it is our duty on appeal to accept the truth of the evidence adduced on behalf of the People.
 Was there evidence of the possession of heroin by the appellant? There are two instances which, taken separately or together, constitute ample proof of the fact. While the defendant's witnesses claimed that the paraphernalia for effecting an injection of heroin and the heroin on the spoon belonged to Miss Reyes, that was not the theory of the prosecution; there was ample evidence to show by legitimate inference that there wasjoint possession by the two defendants of the instruments and the heroin. Both defendants were confessed habitues, and it would seem strange that the appellant, who was admittedly taking heroin regularly, should not have *282 the instruments in his home for the purpose of effecting such injections. The evidence was such as to authorize the jury to make an implied finding of jointly held possession, not only of the paraphernalia necessary to give an injection of heroin, but of the heroin which was found in the spoon and which, under the testimony of Chemist Agent Moller, was sufficient in quantity to permit its being taken as a "fix," or dosage of the forbidden drug. We thus have, in this instance, specific evidence of the possession of heroin in


about three weeks after December 1, 1965, following the arrest, he met Perez at the intersection of Inyo and "F" Streets and that Perez made a statement to him that the officers had never "gotten him good," that in the then pending case he had "swallowed the stuff." The agent then testified for the purpose of showing defendant's knowledge of the narcotic nature of the substance that on January 26, 1965, some 12 months before the arrest, he conversed with defendant in a residence on the west side of town and at other locations. There was an objection to this evidence, and an offer of proof was made outside the presence of the jury; the district attorney offered to show that on these prior dates, defendant made admissionsthat he was a narcotic addict, that he had knowledge of the narcotic nature of heroin, and that he knew the character of the substance he possessed at the time of his arrest. Later, Agent Lacey was permitted to testify that on January 26, 1965, he talked with the defendant at the Fresno office of the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, and they discussed narcotics and defendant's use of them, and that on January 27, 1965, in the Fresno County jail, Lacey talked again with Perez about narcotics and looked at needle marks on his arms. There was also testimony about a conversation on August 18, 1965.
 In this type of case it is imperative for conviction that the People prove that the defendant had knowledge that whatever substance


They also subject the food product that is being smoked to undesirable smoke, odors and products of combustion.
Open containers of water are often placed inside smoker attachments to add steam to the inside of the smoker attachment and to the food product that is being smoked. Steam and excess moisture may make the food product soggy and may also remove some of the natural flavors from the food product. Water sprays have been provided for wetting wood chips to prevent wood chips from flaming up. The water spray has the same potential problems as steam from a water container in a smoker attachment. The rate at which moisture is added to the air inside the smoker attachment is difficult to control with either system for adding moisture. Therate of water evaporation from an open container can be controlled by moving the container toward the heat source or away from the heat source. To relocate such a water container, it is generally necessary to open known smoker attachments and let smoke and heat escape. The quantity of water supplied through a spray depends on the requirement to control wood chip burning rather than controlling the quantity of moisture in the air inside the smoker attachment.
Lava rocks may be used to distribute heat more evenly. While smoking a food product, drippings caught and held by the lava rocks over a period of time are reheated and produce smoke and vapors. This smoke and the vapors may impart foul odors and tastes to the food product being smoked.

Scudder also argues that Hanover and Economy were estopped from denying him coverage. We affirm.
The four boys filed a complaint against Scudder on January 3, 1985, which they subsequently amended twice. In the second amended complaint, the first boy alleged that Scudder took him on a fishing trip which began on July 16, 1984. At one point during the course of the trip, Scudder intentionally fondled the sexual organs of the boy, who was 13 years old at the time. Approximately one year earlier, Scudder had intentionally fondled the boy's


sex organs while they were in Scudder's home in Darien.
Two other boys alleged in the second amended complaint that Scudder intentionally fondled their sex organs during the July 1984 fishing trip. One of the boys was 14 years old at the time; the other was 12. The boys further alleged that, during the trip, Scudder caused their hands to come into contact with his penis for the purpose of his sexual gratification. A fourth boy alleged that, on several occasions during June and July 1984, Scudder intentionally fondled his sex organs. The boy was 13 years old at the time.
Scudder was arrested in Kentucky during the fishing trip after one of the boys reported him to the local police. Charges were subsequently brought against him in the circuitImpact of body habitus on fluoroscopic radiation emission during minimally invasive spine surgery.
Minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISSs) have gained immense popularity in the last few years. Concern about the radiation exposure has also been raised. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the impact of body habitus on the radiation emission during various MISS procedures. The authors also aim to evaluate the effect the surgeon's experience has on the amount of radiation exposure during MISS especially with regard to patient size. The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 332 patients who underwent 387 MISS procedures performed at their institution from January 2010 to August 2013 by a single surgeon. The dose of radiation emission available from the fluoroscopic equipment was recorded from the electronic database. The authors

     In 1941, the owners of 190 acres known as the J.M. Williams homestead tract partitioned
the property. They divided it into seven tracts or “blocks” varying in size from thirty-one acres
to thirty-five acres. Added together, the total amount of acreage purportedly divided among the
seven blocks was 235 acres. Each block was specifically described by separate field notes.
        In 1997, the Scateses bought Block 6, which, according to a recital in the deed, contains
thirty-three and one-third acres. Directly north, and sharing a boundary with Block 6, is Block 5,
which the Crawfords bought in 2008. The 1941 partition deed attributed thirty-one acres to
Block 5. However, a 1974 survey revealed that Block 5 contains 24.08 acres–the amount recited
in the Crawfords’divided into seven tracts with Blocks 5, 6, and 7 lying to the east of a
road, and the other four blocks to the west of the road. The east-west calls in the deeds call for
the western corners to be at a point in the Jericho Road. That road is now a farm to market road
and has changed in size since the partition. Opperman testified that the distances east and west
on both the Scateses’ and the Crawfords’ tracts were at variance with the original partition deed
call and those lines are about 200 feet short. Both sides agree on the location of the southeast and
southwest corners of the original Covington Survey, as well as the Scateses’ southeast and
southwest corners. Opperman testified that he found the southwest witness tree for the


split the property. Further, Blocks 5, 6, and 7 lost land along the
west boundary due to the expansion of the road, and the loss would be the same for each tract.
Block 5, which was supposed to contain thirty-one acres, contains 24.08 acres. Block 6, which
was supposed to contain thirty-one and one-third acres, contains 24.56 acres. Birdwell testified
that Block 7, the tract south of the Scateses’ property, is the one that is farthest south within the
east side of the Covington Survey, and was also short on acreage. It contains 22.4 acres although
it was supposed to contain thirty-three and one-third acres.
       The evidence shows the locations of the corners of the original 190 acre tract. Where a
corner is found, it influences the surveys inhe has made more (and sent along the above photos). "I wanted to see how people reacted, and the reaction has been really great so far—I mean really great, probably some of the greatest reactions anyone has ever had to anything, ever."

the responsibility for complaints, PALS and FFT was split across three different teams who had little crossover and therefore minimal capacity to consider this wealth of feedback from patients as a whole. In a different Trust, a senior manager had noticed this division was holding learning back and brought representatives from these teams together once a month in a formal event. A few participants noted how the electronic systems for collating the different sorts of feedback were completely distinct, which further compounded the lack of cross‐team working. The division between complaints and PALS**---**both as a concept and practically**---**was remarked upon by some management participants as being arbitrary and unnecessarily confusing to patients and the public. Some participants spoke about how several different initiatives on patient experience were simultaneouslyThe former president of South Yemen called on Monday for the Saudi-led coalition to intensify its air strikes against the Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels and militias of the deposed leader Ali Abdullah Saleh.

In an interview with sister channel Al Hadath, Yemeni politician Ali Salem al-Beidh said Southern Yemenis will continue to fight the Houthis and Saleh’s militias adding that Southern Yemenis’ position concerning the conflict is “clear.”

Al-Beidh was the general secretary of the Yemeni Socialist Party in the former South Yemen. Upon Yemen’s unification in 1990, al-Beidh became vice president in deposed President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s government.

Three years later, al-Beidh quit his office and returned to Aden, the former southern capital claiming Saleh’s government was marginalizing the south.

In 2009, he declared himself the leader of the southern separatist


movement, Al Harak, which called for the re-establishment of a separate South Yemen.

Since the Saudi-led military campaign was waged against the militias last month, Aden has been a battlefield between the Houthis and Popular Resistance forces that are allied to legitimate President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi.

Saudi Arabia is leading a 10-state coalition to combat the Houthi’s advancement of Yemen in support of the country’s legitimate President Hadi and his government.

Last week, the Arab League vowed that “Operation Decisive Storm” would continue until the Houthis would surrender.

The Houthis and Saleh-allied militias seized power in the capital Sanaa in February and last month advanced on the port city of Aden, Hadi’s stronghold, forcing him to go into exile and prompting the Saudi-led airstrikes against the rebels.

Next year, 2013, will mark the 100th anniversary of what many see as the most significant industrial dispute ever to have taken place in Ireland - the Dublin Lockout. The employers of Dublin, led by William Martin Murphy, locked out over 20,000 workers in an attempt to starve them into submission and to smash the increasingly popular Irish Transport and General Workers Union (ITGWU).

The Social Solidarity Network came into existence in the Autumn of 2009 in Dublin as an initiative of the Workers Solidarity Movement. It fadedout of existence a few short months later and never amounted to all that much in the interim beyond a couple of meetings, a leaflet distribution at a mass ICTU march and a badly organised and executed protest at the Dail on budget day. Nevertheless there are some useful lessons (mostly of the ‘how not to do it variety’) to be taken from its short existence.

News that the Red Cross, an international humanitarian organisation, have been directly assisting local community workers in the Rosemount area of Derryhas again heightened concerns of a potential “drugs epidemic” developing in the city.

Cross has been working with the Rosemount Resource Centre over the past eight months, believed to be the first time ever the humanitarian group has worked with another organisation in the north.

Climate campaigners on Monday responded to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 2019 Justice Agenda—which includes a pledge to pursue a Green New Deal for the state—with demands that the Democratic governor push for even bolder policies than those he is promising.

"Cuomo calls the climate crisis a matter of life and death, but unfortunately his policies don't match the lofty rhetoric."

—Alex Beauchamp, Food & Water Watch

The governor's office claimed that by making the state's electricity carbon neutral by 2040, "New York will be the most progressive state in the nation in moving to renewables and growing the new sustainable green economy," but green groups say that's not nearly detailed or ambitious enough.

"Cuomo calls the climate crisis a matter of life and death, but unfortunately his policies don't match thetakes to hold Cuomo accountable to walk the talk and truly make New York a beacon of progressive action for climate justice."

Cuomo outlined his goals for the first 100 days of the next legislative session in a speech hosted by the Roosevelt Institute in New York City. Watch:

Outside the building where the governor was delivering his speech, activists gathered to demand that he move #OffFossilFuels immediately, with many carrying signs condemning the Williams pipeline.

Reporters and activists—including Beauchamp—shared updates from the protest outside Cuomo's speech on Twitter:


fast friends, and a warm social relationship developed between the Smiths and Bitter. Within a short time, the three began discussing the possibility of going into the tavern business in an area convenient to Dubuque's "college community", consisting of Loras and Clarke colleges and the University of Dubuque.
The parties bought real estate housing an existing tavern, took title in the name of Gomer's, Inc., a corporation which Bitter formed for the Smiths and himself, and entered into extensive remodeling of the building. Bitter was to furnish legal services and loan expertise in getting the business started. The Smiths were to be primarily responsible for remodeling. The tavern was to be operated under the name of "Gomer's Bar," capitalizing on the nickname "Gomer" which had identified Steve J. Smithwhen he attended Loras College.
Early in the game differences arose. The Smiths became convinced that Bitter was not carrying his share of the load. He, in turn, was fearful the Smiths were trying to freeze him out. There is evidence to support both of these views. Over Bitter's vigorous protests, the Smiths assumed virtual control of the remodeling and of plans for opening the tavern.
Originally Bitter brought suit against the Smiths, and the Smiths countered by filing a petition for declaratory judgment. Later Bitter's original action was dismissed pursuant to Iowa R.Civ.P. 215.1 for lack of prosecution. Bitter raised the same issues, however, in his cross-petition for declaratory relief. He also filed a counterclaim asking both actual and punitive damages.
Smiths' petition for declaratory judgment asked a determination of


says it was never "viable," and insists the three principals always intended the tavern to be operated as a partnership venture.
Bitter, however, isn't the only one to change course. In an apparent effort to obtain control of the business, the Smiths, too, abandoned the position they earlier espoused. Originally the Smiths represented themselves to be partners, filed tax returns as a partnership, took out a beer license in their individual names, and did not object when Bitter made representations of which they were aware to several lending institutions that the business was a partnership. Now they brush all this aside and insist the business was a corporate venture.
The prize of all this, of course, is control over the business, a vital concern now that Bitter is an unwelcomethe offer to purchase was signed. Under the record before us, we do not deem that to be material.
Later a contract for the purchase of the property was signed by Steve J. Smith as president and Joseph J. Bitter as secretary of Gomer's, Inc., which had by then been issued a certificate of incorporation by the State. Within a short time, other financing was arranged through the Dubuque Bank & Trust Company. The sellers were paid off, and they then conveyed the property by warranty deed to Gomer's, Inc. Gomer's, Inc. executed a note and mortgage encumbering the property to Dubuque Bank & Trust Company in the amount of $50,000. In connection with this loan, Bitter furnished the lender with a title opinion certifying Gomer's, Inc. as the

9. The Design of the White House

Most people know that there have been a few US Presidents that have Irish roots, including current President Barack Obama. And by “a few,” I mean at least half. But not only have we sat in the White House, we also designed it. James Hoban was born and raised in Ireland and, in 1792, Hoban won the competition for the design of the White House. The design itself is very obviously based on what is now the House of the Oireachtas (the Irish Parliament), Leinster House. Both have a triangular pediment supported by four round columns, with three windows on multiple levels underneath, and four on either side, with alternating round and triangular crowns above each window.

In 1793, he became a lecturer of chemistry, and later, the very first professor of chemistry in Trinity. Then, in 1800, he developed soda water. What’s strange, however, is that we’ve clearly established Perceval as an intelligent guy and yet, after developing the soda water, he suggested it be used for medical purposes.

6. A Lot of English Words

English words have worked their way into a lot of languages. Being one of the most spoken languages in the world this is, of course, inevitable. Sometimes the roots are near impossible to spot, such as the Spanish word “esmoquin,” meaning “tuxedo,” as it was associated with smoking. Other times, they can be


years for Holland to get a submarine built. In 1875, after emigrating to the US, he submitted his blueprints to the US Navy, who turned them down. A few years later, the Fenians took an interest in his designs. These were a group of American-based Irish Republicans and, by 1881, they launched the Fenian Ram, a basic submarine. Over the following years, Holland continued to improve his designs, launched the first long-distance submarine in 1897, and sold it to the US Navy in 1900.

Police say a 16-year-old killed his mother and then spent days living with her decomposing body in the family's northeast Miami-Dade condominium.

The body of 35-year-old Renette Emile was found late Wednesday in a fourth-floor unit at the Jade Winds Condominiums at 1710 Northeast 191st Street, Miami-Dade Police spokesman Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said.

Zabaleta said no one had heard from Emile in more than a week, and officers were called to the home after her ex-boyfriend, who is the father of her youngest son, couldn't get a hold of her.

The teen, identified by police as Kit Darrant, and Emile's 3-year-old son had been living in the unit for several days as her body was decomposing nearby, police said.

Darrant, who arrived home shortly after officers made the disturbing discovery, was detainedfor questioning and confessed to killing his mother, police said.

The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner, and authorities said the teen faces a charge of second-degree murder.

The State Attorney's Office said that the matter is under investigation and that it cannot comment any further on the case.

Darrant and his mother had an argument on Tuesday, March 27 after he stayed out late on a school night, police said in his arrest affidavit.

They alleged that he went to this bedroom and began planning how to kill his mother, deciding to strangle her. He went to her bedroom and choked her, making her unconscious, and after he realized that she was still breathing, he stabbed her numerous times, police said.

His 3-year-old brother was sleeping in the


condominium at the time, according to police.

Darrant began cleaning his mother's bedroom and hiding evidence the next morning, and even said that he hosted a gathering of friends in the home four days after he killed his mother, police said.

Darrant is a student at Miami's Krop Senior High School, according to police.

The 3-year-old was placed in the custody of Emile's sister, Janet Baker.

"He's fine, I'm taking him to get something to eat," Baker said, as she left the apartment complex Thursday. "We're just praying, that's all."

Zabaleta said police had responded to a domestic disturbance between Emile and the teen last month, and officers were called to the home just last week after the son was reported to have been driving recklessly.

A neighbor who didn't want to be identifiedsaid the teen had been arrested for vandalism and was sent to boot camp by his mother.

Baker confirmed the teen had been sent to a boot camp.

"We thought he would have been better by sending him to boot camp," she said.

The neighbor also said the teen had been selling things out of the apartment earlier this week, including a TV, and that the house had a bad odor coming from inside for the past few days.

A childhood friend and relative of Emile said her son was always a handful, but she worked hard to give him a good life, taking him out of a tough neighborhood to a safer one.


BOISE, Idaho -- An Idaho soldier has been released from prison four years after he admitted shooting an unarmed Afghan boy for sport and posing for photographs with the victim's corpse as part of what prosecutors described as a series of thrill killings by a rogue group of U.S. troops.

Andrew Holmes, 25, left Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and flew home Sunday evening to the Boise Airport, where he was greeted by dozens of friends and relatives. His mother, Dana Holmes, told KTVB-TV that his relatives are "grateful to have him home and look forward to having this chapter of our lives closed."

Holmes was one of five soldiers from a Washington state-based Stryker brigade who were arrested in Afghanistan in 2010 in what prosecutors described as a conspiracy to killcivilians for fun. After the first killing, one of Holmes' fellow soldiers tried to blow the whistle on the plot, but the warnings went unheeded and the soldiers murdered two more civilians over the next few months.

Get Breaking News Delivered to Your Inbox

The killings, in Kandahar Province, were among the most serious war crime allegations of the Afghanistan war before another soldier from Washington state's Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Robert Bales, slaughtered 16 villagers in March 2012.

Holmes was accused of directly participating in the first killing, of a 15-year-old boy named Gul Mudin, and he was initially charged with conspiracy, premeditated murder and other charges before making a deal with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty in September 2011 to committing murder by an inherently dangerous act, possessing a finger bone


from his victim and smoking hashish, and a judge sentenced him to seven years.

In court when he made the guilty plea, Holmes, then a private, acknowledged that he fired a heavy machine gun at a startled, unarmed civilian from 15 feet away after a co-defendant, then-Cpl. Jeremy Morlock, tossed a grenade at him. The man posed no threat, Holmes said.

"I looked at the young man. He was standing there like a deer in the headlights," he told the judge in a clear, steady voice. "I fired six to eight rounds at the man, and I've regretted it ever since."

At the time, Holmes' attorney, Daniel Conway, blamed his client's troubles on the unluckiness of having been assigned to such a dysfunctional unit. Holmes went into the Army as aIranian president says no war with US, Israel The Associated Press

Print This Email This By VIJAY JOSHI KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sees no possibility of a war between his country and the United States or Israel. "I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," Ahmadinejad told a news conference during a visit to Malaysia for a summit of developing Muslim nations. Ahmadinejad's comments came less than 24 hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that its forces were carrying out a military drill involving "missile squads" and warned that the country would retaliate against any military strike by targeting Tel Aviv and U.S. warships in the Gulf. Iranian officials have been issuing a

"Today, the government of the United States is on the threshold of bankruptcy  from political to economic," Ahmadinejad said. "The greatest threat in the Middle East and the whole world ... is the United States' intervention in other countries," Ahmadinejad said. He urged Washington to heal its image by "relying on (the) basis of justice, humanitarian acts and respect for human beings." For months, Ahmadinejad and other Iranian officials have said they don't believe the U.S. will attack because of its difficulties in Iraq, domestic worries and concerns over the fallout in the region. At the same time,Tehran has stepped up its warnings of retaliation if the Americans  or Israelis  do attack it, including threats to hit Israel and U.S. Gulf bases with missiles and stop oil traffic through the vital Gulf region. The Web site of the elite Iranian force posted a statement late Monday quoting guard official Ali Shirazi as saying that Iran would retaliate against any military strike by targeting Tel Aviv and U.S. warships in the Gulf. "The Zionist regime is pushing the White House to prepare for a military strike on Iran," Shirazi was quoted as saying. "If such a stupidity is done by them, Tel Aviv and the U.S. naval fleet in the Persian Gulf will be the first targets which will be set on fire in


Iran's crushing response." Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev would not comment on Shirazi's warning other than to say "his words speak for themselves." State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos said such statements by Iran were "unfortunately...not out of the norm." "We continue to stress our desire to resolve this issue diplomatically," Gallegos added. Israel's military sent warplanes over the eastern Mediterranean for a large military exercise in June that U.S. officials described as a possible rehearsal for a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, which the West fears are aimed at producing atomic weapons. The U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, headquartered in the Persian Gulf nation of Bahrain, is responsible for patrolling the Gulf, the Suez Canal and parts of the Indian Ocean. Shirazi is a cleric who represents supreme leaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei in the guards' naval force. Khamenei has the final say over all state matters. The Guards' Web site also announced late Monday that forces were carrying out a military drill involving "missile squads," but did not say where it was taking place. Iran's guards and national army hold regular exercises two or three times a year, but the statement did not say whether this drill was one of them or if it was a special exercise. Associated Press Writer Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran contributed to this report.
