Back in 2012, Frank Ocean tweeted that he planned to drop five albums by the time he turned 30. After releasing four full-length projects so far in his career, his 30th birthday came and went earlier this year without a new album. However, a new post on his Tumblr indicates that the long-awaited fifth project is finished:

There’s no other information about it available, and Frank has notoriously dragged out his album rollouts in the past. However, the Tumblr post does match the much-cited tweet about releasing five albums, which lines up with his discography. He dropped Nostalgia, Ultra back in 2011 (technically billed as a mixtape), followed by channel ORANGE in 2012 and both Blonde and Endless in 2016.

OnCue just has that feeling.

"That Feeling" is the latest release from Connecticut emcee/songwriter OnCue, featuring production from Detroit, Michigan's Chanes. The last time these two collaborated was on Cue's 2012 mixtape Leftovers.

The track samples experimental psychedelic rock group Animal Collective's "My Girls" single, included on their 2009 album Merriweather Post Pavilion, the music video for which you can watch below.

The last we heard of OnCue was the late-April cut "DSFM," a freestyle over Brooklyn electronic duo Ratatat's 2004 single "Cherry," from their eponymous debut album. Listen here.

"That Feeling" won't be included on Cue's upcoming album Angry Young Man, which has been executive produced by Just Blaze. Stay tune for the rollout, and keep up with these two via Twitter in the meantime: @OnCue / @ChChanes.

Metallic fuels were the first fuels chosen for liquid metal cooled fast reactors (LMR's). In the late 1960's world-wide interest turned toward ceramic LMR fuels before the full potential of metallic fuel was realized. However, during the 1970's the performance limitations of metallic fuel were resolved in order to achieve a high plant factor at the Argonne National Laboratory's Experimental Breeder Reactor II. The 1980's spawned renewed interest in metallic fuel when the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) concept emerged at Argonne National Laboratory. A fuel performance demonstration program was put into place to obtain the data needed for the eventual licensing of metallic fuel. This paper will summarize the results of the irradiationthe flow of coolant through the sub-assemblies. The magnetic fields of the electro-magnetic breaking devices are temperature sensitive so that as the power output of the breeder sub-assemblies increases the electro-magnetic resistance to coolant flow is reduced thereby maintaining the temperature of the coolant outlets from the sub-assemblies substantially constant.

Endotracheal intubation in the rat is difficult because of the extremely small size of anatomical structures (oral cavity, epiglottis and vocal cords), small inlet for an endotracheal tube and the lack of proper technical instruments. In this study we used seventy rats weighting 400-500 g. The equipment needed for the intubation was an operating table, a longish of cotton, a cotton tip, orotracheal tube, neonatal laryngoscope blades, KTR4 small animal ventilator and isoflurane for inhalation anaesthesia.

or withdrawal of a fuel assembly the rotor is rotated to bring the fuel assembly to a loading or discharging station. The irradiated fuel assembly is withdrawn from the rotor within its bucket and the total weight is approximately 1000 kg, which is lifted about 27 m. In the event of malfunction the combination falls back into the rotor with considerable force. In order to prevent damage to the rotor fracture pins are provided, and to prevent damage to the reactor vessel and other parts of the reactor structure deformable energy absorbing devices are provided. After a malfunction the fractured pins and the energy absorbing devices must be replaced by remote control means operated from outside the reactor vault - a complex operation. The object of the arrangementoffer an energy supply for thousands of years. Moreover, a fast neutron device offers the opportunity to run an actinide-burner that could improve the situation of waste management. Within this concept metallic fuel could play a key role. The present report shows some important aspects of the concept like the pyrometallic reprocessing, the behaviour of metallic fuel during a core meltdown accident and others. The report should contribute to the discussion of these problems and initialize further work

During the period 1985-1998, there have been substantial advances in fast reactor technology development. Chief among these has been the demonstration of reliable operation by several prototypes and experimental reactors, the reliable operation of fuel at high burnup. At the IAEA meetings on liquid metal cooled fast reactor technology (LMFR), it


became evident that there have been significant technological advances as well as changes in the economic and regulatory environment since 1985. Therefore the International working group on Fast Reactors has recommended the preparation of a new status report on fast reactors. The present report intends to provide comprehensive and detailed information on LMFR technology. The focus is on practical issues that are useful to engineers, scientists, managers, university students and professors, on the following topics: experience in construction and operation, reactor physics and safety, sore structural material and fuel technology, fast reactor engineering and activities in progress on LMFR plants Refs, figs, tabs

This report describes the


experimental, demonstration and commercial size - that have been or are planned for construction and operation. Fast reactor physics is dealt with in Chapter IV. Besides the basic facts and definitions of neutronics and the compilation and measurement of nuclear data, a broad range of the calculation methods, codes, and the state of the art is described. In Chapter V, fuels and materials are described. The emphasis is on the design and development experience gained with mixed oxide fuel pins and subassemblies. Structural materials, blanket elements and absorber materials are also discussed. Chaper VI presents a broad overview of the technical and engineering aspects of LMFBR power plants. LMFBR core design is described in detail, followed by the components of the main heat transport system, the refuelling equipment,technology programs in the areas of plant system and component design, component fabrication, prototype testing, and site construction. The major objectives of the FFTF were to provide a strong, disciplined engineering base for the LMFBR program, provide fast flux testing for other U.S. programs, and contribute to the development of a viable self-sustaining competitive U.S. LMFBR industry. During its ten years of operation, the FFTF acted as a national research facility to test advanced nuclear fuels, materials, components, systems, nuclear power plant operating and maintenance procedures, and active and passive reactor safety technologies; it also produced a large number of isotopes for medical and industrial users, generated tritium for the U.S. fusion research program, and participated in cooperative, international research work.

The formula has been modified in order to include the density effect. The derivation was accomplished in connection with a formalism given by Kim. It was shown that the material dependence on the collision stopping power is entirely comprehended by the density and two effective material parameters. Thus a simple criterion is given for the comparison of materials as to their collision stopping power

The key objectives and activities of Member State liquid metalfast reactor (LMFR) programmes are: Demonstration of effective designs; demonstration of system safety; demonstration of economic competitiveness with other power generation systems. The International Working Group on Fast Reactors (IWGFR)at its 1995 meeting observed that while some countries (as a result of static or falling power demand) are reducing the research and development programmes or delaying the commercial deployment of fast reactors, other countries are planning to introduce these reactors and are embarking on their own development programmes. In these circumstances the international exchange of information and experience is of increasing importance. These proceedings contain updated information from long standing members of the IWGFR and new information on the status of LMFR research and development from new members of the Group: Brazil, China, Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Korea.

Metal fuel is being developed for the prototype generation-IVsodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR) to be built by 2028. U-Zr fuel is a driver for the initial core of the PGSFR, and U -transuranics (TRU)-Zr fuel will gradually replace U-Zr fuel through its qualification in the PGSFR. Based on the vast worldwide experiences of U-Zr fuel, work on U-Zr fuel is focused on fuel design, fabrication of fuel components, and fuel verification tests. U-TRU-Zr fuel uses TRU recovered through pyroelectrochemical processing of spent PWR (pressurized water reactor) fuels, which contains highly radioactive minor actinides and chemically active lanthanide or rare earth elements as carryover impurities. An advanced fuel slug casting system, which can prevent vaporization of volatile elements through a control of the atmospheric pressure of the casting chamber and also deal with chemically active lanthanide elements using


protective coatings in the casting crucible, was developed. Fuel cladding of the ferritic-martensitic steel FC92, which has higher mechanical strength at a high temperature than conventional HT9 cladding, was developed and fabricated, and is being irradiated in the fast reactor.

was made by using JENDL-2 and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute's standard calculation system for fast reactor neutronics. The power flattening trend, caused by the decrease of the fast neutron flux, was observed in the axial and radial power distributions. The effect of the radial boundary shape of the internal blanket on the power distribution was determined in the core. The thickness of the internal blanket was reduced at its radial boundary. The influence of the internal blanket was observed in the power distributions in the core with a control rod inserted. The calculation predicted the neutron spectrum harder in the internal blanket.

Leads are placed in flutes in a seal body, and a seal shell is then placed around the seal body. Circumferential channels in the body and inner surface of the shell are contiguous and together form a conduit which intersects each of the flutes, placing them in communication with a port through the wall of the seal shell. Liquid silicone rubber sealant is injected into the flutes through the port and conduit; the sealant fills the space in the flutes not occupied by the leads themselves and dries to a rubbery hardness.

provisions, for pool type reactors, the guillotine rupture of PCP could be placed in the BDBE category. The topical Technical Meeting (TM) on 'Primary Coolant Pipe Rupture Event in Liquid Metal Cooled Reactors' was called to enable the specialists to present the philosophy and analyses applied on this topic in the various Member States for different LMFRs. The scope of the Technical Meeting was to provide a global forum for information exchange on the philosophy applied in the various participating Member States and the analyses performed for different LMFRs with regard to the primary coolant pipe rupture event. More specifically, the objectives of the Technical Meeting were to review the safety philosophy for the PCP rupture event in pool type LMFR, to assess the structural reliability of thecatalysts displayed different catalytic capabilities towards the pyrolytic products. The catalysis by CaO significantly reduced the levels of phenols and anhydrosugars, and eliminated the acids, while it increased the formation of cyclopentanones, hydrocarbons and several light compounds. ZnO was a mild catalyst, as it only slightly altered the pyrolytic products. The other four catalysts all decreased the linear aldehydes dramatically, while the increased the ketones and cyclopentanones. They also reduced the anhydrosugars, except for NiO. Moreover, the catalysis by Fe2O3 resulted in the formation of various hydrocarbons. However, none of these catalysts except CaO were able to greatly reduce the acids.

A protruding molten metal reservoir is disposed to a sealing vessel embedded in the armour tile of fast walls, and molten metal of low melting point such as tin, lead or alloy thereof is filled in the sealing vessel. The volume of the molten metal reservoir is determined such that the surface level of the molten metal is kept within the molten metal reservoir even when the sealed low melting point metal is solidified at room temperature. When the temperature is lowered during plasma interruption period and the sealed low melting molten metal is solidified to reduce the volume, most of the molten metal reservoir regioin constitutes a vacuum gap. However, the inner wall of the sealing

dropped their previous sounds in favor of playing three chords and taking on the social ill of choice. The UK Subs came from this historic trajectory. Lead singer Charlie Harper had fronted an R&B outfit that dissolved rapidly, when punk exploded, into the UK Subs. Adding guitarist Nicky Garrat a few months later, the Subs were set for what has become a quarter-century of ambitiously carrying the punk rock flag. Always anchored by the duo of Harper and Garrat, the UK Subs went through a host of bassists and drummers over the years, yet always remained completely true to '77 punk in their musical approach. The band separated in the mid-'80s, and now, after a decade's worth of downtime, they've reunited and released a pair of records.

I stepped to the edge of the lake to lend a hand as my companions came to a stop, their headlamps the only artificial light visible for miles. There were no cabins, cottages or resorts here. Not a single other person. Then, from across the lake, a long lone howl lifted into the air, followed by three more. A chorus of mournful cries echoed through the silent landscape of rock, wood and water.

I was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) of Northeastern Minnesota — a 1.1 million acre expanse of boreal forest, pre-Cambrian rock and pristine lakes — for just this kind of experience. To


these lands opened for extractive use, on the other are stakeholders vying for the conservation of these landscapes for recreation and wildlife.

The fate of this Minnesota haven may hang in the balance

Today the BWCAW is at the heart of just such a contest. Up for debate is the fate of a series of proposed sulfide-ore copper mines on the edge of the wilderness area, which one side champions as a boon for the economy and the other derides as a serious threat to the landscape and watershed. This clash is representative of dozens of others ongoing throughout the United States today and many more that preceded it over the last century and a half.

Story continues

In 1907, Republican President Theodore Roosevelt found himself in a similar situation. Our nation’s26th president had come to find great solace in wild places as a young man exploring the American west. But he’d also seen first-hand just how quickly they can suffer, bearing witness to the devastation of big game populations and wild lands following the westward expansion of the nation during the 1800s.

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Superior National Forest, Minnesota.

When Roosevelt took office as president many years later, he took immediate action to protect the places he knew to be both valuable and threatened. In just his first year in office, Roosevelt protected more than 14 million acres of new forest reserves (now known as national forests) — landscapes that would be protected for perpetuity and managed for sustainable resource extraction, recreation, wildlife and clean water.

industry, suddenly unable to take from the nation’s forests at will and without oversight, pushed back almost immediately. The result of the industry’s lobbying effort was an amendment to a must-pass spending bill that blocked the future creation of forest reserves without approval by congress. It appeared that big business had won the battle, but the president had other ideas. In the final hours leading up to his required signing of the bill, Roosevelt made the surprise move of boldly signing into existence 32 new national forests just before his ability to do so would be removed.

A short number of years later, another controversy erupted, this time around the creation of a hydroelectric dam in the midst of Yosemite National Park intended to power the city of SanFrancisco. This time industry did prevail and a pristine mountain valley stands flooded still today because of it. The push and pull of development versus recreation and conservation has continued ever since.

Break out of your bubble: Let's restore bipartisanship on the environment

The creation of Jackson Hole National Monument and other national parks in the 40s was followed by the damming of Glen Canyon in the 50s for hydropower. The Wilderness Act of the 60s was followed by the rollback of public land protections during the Sagebrush Rebellion of the 70s and 80s. And two new Utah national monuments created by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama saw their fates reversed when President Donald Trump came to office and slashed their borders by more than 50%.

On October 9, 1979, appellant filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings alleging, inter alia, fraud, misrepresentation, deceit and "arrogant violation of the law and rules of court."
A hearing was held before Judge Toole on the motion for protective order on October 10, 1979. On the same day Judge Toole entered an order denying the motion and directed appellant to "appear for discovery" at the law offices of appellee's attorney on October 19, 1979, and "to testify at that time concerning the legal title claimed in the replevin action filed to this number, and to bring with him any records or evidence he may have of said title, or any hospital records or evidence he may have verifying the alleged illness set forth in said complaint." TheA Connecticut woman's call to police to report domestic violence led to a standoff and explosion in a barn behind her home that left one person dead and nine officers injured, officials said Thursday.

The officers were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the Wednesday night blast and the remains of one unidentified person were found in a building at the home in North Haven, State Police Trooper Kelly Grant said at a news conference.

Grant said she couldn't confirm the identity of the body until an autopsy was completed. The woman was not at the home when police arrived Wednesday night, but Grant declined to release her condition, saying it was part of the investigation.

The owners of the property, Deborah and John Sayre, were going through a divorce, according


to court records.

Deborah Sayre filed for divorce on April 18 and checked a box for a line that said the marriage had "broken down irretrievably." She did not immediately return a phone message Thursday.

North Haven Deputy Police Chief Jonathan Mulhern said a woman called police to report domestic violence and police tried for hours to coax the man outside.

"Come out, John," police said into a bullhorn aimed at the house before the explosion.

All nine officers remained hospitalized Thursday. They were members of the regional tactical team, and included five from East Haven, three from North Haven, and one from Branford.

"They all did suffer injuries that were consistent with the blast," Mulhern said. "This impacted not only the North Haven Police Department, not only our community, but this isa far reaching incident to the other communities that serve the south central region."

Firefighters on Thursday continued to battle the barn fire that also damaged other structures and vehicles.

Residents near the home said on the police department's Facebook page that they heard the explosion and felt their own homes shake. Additional police rushed to the scene as the fire raged, and sounds of smaller explosions also were heard.

North Haven resident Joan Mazurek, 76, a retired accountant, heard what she thought was a train at her home about a mile away from the scene. It was the explosion.

"Then we heard all the, oh my God, all the ambulances and fire engines. The noise from all the emergency vehicles was unbelievable," she said. "It's a shock. Nothing ever happens like

The polluted river and water from open wells served the local population as their principal irrigation water resource and some used it for drinking. Four RBF wells (up to 25 m deep) were installed. The mean hydraulic conductivity of the well field is 6.3 x 10(-3) cm/s and, based on Darcy's law, the water travel time from the river to the principal RBF well (MW3) is 45.2 days. A mixing model based on dissolved silica concentrations indicated that, depending on the distance from the river and closeness to irrigated rice fields, approximately 27 to 73% ofLatintos stands for "language transformations in texts and open sources." The LATINTOS BLOG highlights different spellings and different meanings of words, phrases and abbreviations as well as their origin.

The Michael D. Thompson Trailhead west of Reno in northern Nevada is a gateway to the scenic landscapes of the Truckee River Valley and the Mount Rose Wilderness. This trailhead is a popular meeting place and starting point for short, medium and long hikes to destinations such as the Steamboat Trail Arrow, the two Holes in the Wall and via the Hunter Creek Trailto Hunter Creek Falls and


beyond .

The trailhead is named in honor of Reno-born Michael David Thompson, who died young and is still remembered by some locals. The trailhead kiosk provides a brief biography:

The land for this trailhead has been given to the citizens of Washoe County in memory of Michael David Thompson. Michael was born in Reno on June 10, 1970, graduating from Reno High School in 1988. He was president of his senior class, a member of the ski team, and an outstanding student. During his twenty years, Michael lived life to the fullest, seeking new challenges and giving back to the community.

Michael loved to do what many Reno residents love to do when outdoors:

Cheetah is a special animal which has particular drinking habit. There are three sources gained by cheetah when he wants to drink. He will take the drink from the blood of the prey, the water from the river or pool as well as from the moisture on the air by using the nostril. The size of cheetah is various. On average, the length lies between 3.5 up to 4.5 feet. That measurement is without measuring the tail. The weight of the male cheetah is counted at 75 up to 150 pounds.

Cheetahs are extremely shy creatures and although they roam widely, the Cheetah is not often seen as easily as some other cats due to their reclusive nature. Due to habitat destruction and loss of species


other cockerels out of their flock when they start becoming big enough to be a threat to him. The dominant male is usually the mating partner for all of the hens that he watches over. Chicken is one of the most widespread meats in the world with numerous cultures having their own special ways to prepare and eat chickens. The UK's most common dish is roast chicken, the USA's most common dish is fried chicken and in China they use every part of the chicken including their feet which are commonly found in soup.

Chimpanzee are mainly found in rain forests and wet savannas. While they spend equal time on land and in trees, they do most of their feeding and sleeping in trees.Chimpanzees are the great apes, whichbelongs to the genus Pan, very closely related to humans (splitted about 4-6 million years ago). They share the Hominidae family along with the gorilla, humans and thee orangutans. Two species of chimpanzee can be found today, viz. Pan troglodytes (found near the west and central Africa) and Pan paniscus (found in the forests of democratic republic of Congo). Due to rapid deforestation of their habitats they are listed under the endangered species. In 1973 Mary-Claire king found 99% similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA, since then in several researches upto94% of similarity have been found.

Chimpanzee are diurnal (but often active on moonlit nights) and begin their activities at dawn. After descending from their night nests they hungrily feed on fruits, their principal diet, and on leaves, buds

Clown Fish (also known as ANEMONE fish) is a small species of fish found around tropical coral reefs. The species most commonly known clown fish is orange with white spots, but the clownfish can be found in many different colors and can also vary in shape. There are 28 recognized species of clownfish that is found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. The clown fish is also north to the Red Sea and inhabit the Great Barrier Reef, on the east coast of Australia.

Clown fish inhabit a single sea anemone in groups that include the breeding male and female and a number of younger male clown fish. All clown fish are born male and developthe marijuana sector.

Corona beer owner Constellation Brands has said it would pour some $4bn (£3.1bn) into Canada's top cannabis producer, Canopy Growth, in a deal marking the largest investment in the industry to date.

Tobacco firm Imperial Brands is investing in UK biotech company Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies, while a recent media report said Coca-Cola was in talks with a Canadian producer Aurora Cannabis about developing marijuana-infused beverages.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned to legalise cannabis, arguing laws criminalising its use were ineffective given Canadians are among the world's heaviest users.

Cannabis possession first became a crime in Canada in 1923 but medical use has been legal since 2001.

to learn
about the slavery 'angle' in college...

As opposed to most wars, where history was written by the victors, in the US
Civil War was mostly written about by the _losers_. They immediately went
about reinventing the war in order to ease their conscience. I mean, the South
deliberate started the war to defend an absolutely evil act (slavery), and in
the ensuing conflict brought utter ruin on their society. The North was
complicit in this rewriting because their main interest was in reintegration
and reunification of the country.

Unfortunately, fast forward 100+ years, and now we have people talking about
state's rights, and not about slavery. Counterrevisionism, in this case, is
more than justified.

Also Texan, we learned slavery was the primary motivation and the discussion
concerning states rights was based on the outcome dovetailing into a pattern
of federalismfor the past few
years as a hobby. The states rights thing came down to equal enforcement of
federal policy.

Around 1830 prior, South Carolina was denied the ability to set its own port
tariff when it tried to assert states rights. See Tariff of Abominations. When
the fugitive slave act wasn’t enforced it was seen as northern legal bias.
This was a big deal because it was already seen as big problem. Around the
time of the war, 80% of the US federal tax revenue came from the south while
most spending benefited the north.

The root cause of the war was absolutely slavery, but when people say there
were a lot of contributing factors...they aren’t kidding. Including parts that
nobody on either side wants to talk about.

Go read all of Lincoln's racist quotes. He is on record saying he would keep
the slaves slaves if that meant the country stayed together. He wanted them
all exported back to Africa. Slave owners in the south were a very small
percentage of the population. The south did not rise up to defend slave
owners. They rose up to defend themselves.

The waiter held my hand as I stepped onto a chair and clambered over the table to get into my seat. For anyone too preoccupied with the term 'personal space', I wouldn't suggest going. I also managed to splatter sauce all over my silk dress after attempting to pull my bread out of the cheese fondue which appeared to be at the other end of the table. It was a little on the runny side which meant getting it to melt on the bread was a chore and a half, but I managed. Would I go back? Perhaps with afrown formed on her lips. "That waiter just ate a hunk of meat from that plate he's about to serve" she insisted. I turned around in dismay and saw his jaw chomping hurriedly through his stolen bit of meat.

The initial rates of peptide bond formation catalyzed by the metalloproteinase thermolysin were determined. The dependence of the formation rates on the concentration of the carboxyl donor and the acceptor can be explained by a rapid-equilibrium random bireactant mechanism, in which the binding of one substrate has a positive influence on the binding of the other (synergism). The specificity of the enzyme for the donor and acceptor in the condensation reaction was further investigated by determining the apparent kinetic parameters kcat and Km for various substrates. The pH-dependence of the initial rates of synthesis was found to be identical to the pH-dependence of the hydrolytic action of the enzyme. The rates are also shown to be

Exeter kept the pressure on Wycombe in the race for automatic promotion from League Two with a nervy 2-1 win over Chesterfield at St James Park.

City created the best of the early chances with Jayden Stockley seeing his shot saved by Aaron Ramsdale, although Kristian Dennis screwed a decent chance wide for Chesterfield.

The Grecians continued to press and they got the goal their play deserved on 39 minutes when Jake Taylor stood a cross up to the back post where Stockley powered in a header from six yards for his 22nd goal of the season.

Dennis fired tamely at Christy Pym early in the second half before the Spireites came close to an equaliser when Exeter's Lloyd James headed against his ownpost and George Smith was denied by a superb reflex stop by Pym on the rebound.

Pierce Sweeney forced a smart stop from Ramsey with a fierce free-kick in the 74th minute for Exeter and, from the resulting corner, Alex Whitmore turned into his own goal from Hiram Boateng's cross to double the Grecians' lead.

Chesterfield's Andy Kellett pulled one back in the 84th minute after good work by Joe Rowley but Exeter held firm to pick up an important three points.

the deficiency and dismissed plaintiff's petition.
The sales and use taxes involved are for an audit period ending August 31, 1977. Two separate factual situations are involved in the appeal and the facts in both situations are stipulated.
*247 The first situation involves city use tax of the city of Omaha, Nebraska. Stainless steel condenser tubes were purchased by OPPD from Crucible, Inc., outside the State of Nebraska for incorporation into OPPD's power station at Nebraska City. The tubes were delivered to OPPD in Omaha, Nebraska, and stored at its Jones Street station in Omaha for approximately 1 year. The tubes were then transported to Nebraska City where they were installed in the power station. An Omaha city use tax was assessed on the purchase price of the condenser tubes.The Nebraska state use tax has been paid. Only the Omaha city use tax is involved in this appeal.
The second situation involves sales or use taxes in connection with a contract under which Harding-Williams Western Corporation, referred to as Saga, contracted with OPPD to operate a food service on OPPD's premises for OPPD's employees. Under the contract the prices charged by Saga were determined by agreement between Saga and OPPD. Saga retained the money received from the sale of the food. A state and city sales tax was paid by Saga on the sale of food to OPPD employees. In addition, Saga was to receive 4 percent of its gross sales as a management fee to be paid by OPPD. If Saga's operation resulted in a loss after


interpretation. The factual situation involving the storage in Omaha and the subsequent use of the condenser tubes in Nebraska City was subject to the use tax of the city of Omaha as well as to the Nebraska state use tax.
We turn now to the issue of sales or use taxes in connection with the food service contract between OPPD and Saga. The Tax Commissioner held that the management fee and the loss reimbursement payments by OPPD to Saga were taxable as part of the gross receipts for food sales and assessed a use tax deficiency against OPPD. The District Court determined that the management fee and loss reimbursements constituted part of the gross receipts of Saga and that such payments were subject to sales tax and affirmed theThe food service was operated on the employers' premises and the food service provider paid sales tax only on the amounts received from employees on the sales. Under the contract the food service provider was to recover its expenses as well as a management fee based on a percentage of the employee sales or on a fixed fee. The California court held that the amounts paid to the food service provider by the employers were not subject to sales tax. The court emphasized that gross receipts constituted the amounts received in consideration for the sale of tangible personal property and that only the employees' payments for the meals constituted the consideration for the sale of the meals. The subsidies paid by the employers merely guaranteed a profit to

Jerick McKinnon long has admired Adrian Peterson. Now he'll get the chance to meet him up close.

The Vikings selected the Georgia Southern running back Friday night with the No. 96 pick in the third round of the NFL draft. That followed the selection of Oregon State defensive end Scott Crichton with the No. 72 pick earlier in the evening.

The Vikings are looking to take some wear and tear this season off Peterson, 29, by reducing his carries. They're looking at McKinnon as a possible third-down back.

"For a long time, I'd say,'' McKinnon said about how long he's admired Peterson. " Just the way he plays the game with passion, with his physicality. ... I think he's the


you like.''

What Spielman likes about 5-9, 209-pound McKinnon is his athleticism. McKinnon had some of the best marks among running backs at the NFL combine in February in the vertical jump, three-cone drill and short-shuttle.

McKinnon, who played quarterback about half his time in the Eagles' triple-option attack, rushed for 1,050 yards in 10 games in 2013. He gained 1,817 in 14 games in 2012.

Spielman watched his pro day on tape. He said he'd never seen one player do so much in such a setting, with McKinnon showing off at running back, punt returner and defensive back, a position he also played some in college.

"We're trying to find another third-down back who gives us a little different version of what we have with Adrian and what we have withMatt (Asiata),'' said Spielman, who saw McKinnon at both the Senior Bowl and the combine.

The Vikings also met with Crichton at the combine. Spielman called him a "great-character kid.''

Crichton's parents are from Western Samoa. The native of Tacoma, Wash., said he gave up his final year of college eligibility because he wants to help support them.

Crichton's father, Lucky, drives a forklift in a warehouse after having lost a leg due to health reasons. His mother, Malama, is a nurse at a retirement home.

"I told my dad to retire,'' Crichton said. "So I think he is. I don't know about my mom. She doesn't want to stay around the house and do nothing all day.''

Crichton's pick was announced in New York by former Minnesota star defensive back Joey Browner.

"When Victoria Loustalot was eight years old her father swept her up in a fantasy: a trip around the world. It was a grandiose plan and she had fallen for it. But it had never been so much as a possibility. Victoria's father was sick. He was HIV positive and soon to fall prey to AIDS. Three years later he would be gone. When Victoria realized that the grand trip with her father wasn't going to happen, she was devastated. Her mother assumed she'd get over it, that eventually it would become just a shrug. But it didn't. In the years to come, Victoria wondered what it would have been like to have been alonewith her dad all those months, to see him outside of his sickness, beyond anything related to their family or their life. To have been with him in a new context. That's what she wanted. And that's what she did. Some fifteen years after that initial promise, Victoria went to Stockholm, to Angor Wat, and to Paris. She went to the places they were meant to see together, and she went to make peace with her father, too. Because while he'd always be forty-four, she'd gone on accumulating birthdays. Every year, her understanding of him continued to evolve and their relationship was still alive. Victoria Loustalot felt trapped beneath all of the unanswered questions he left behind. She needed to be set free. She needed to say goodbye"--

TEIGEN, Judge.
The petitioner-respondent landowners appealed to the District Court of Barnes County, naming the Board of County Commissioners of Barnes County, the State Highway Commissioner, Clerk of the District Court and the County Auditor of Barnes County as respondents. Inissues of fact and law was demanded.
Judgment was rendered against the members of the Board of County Commissioners of Barnes County, the State Highway Commissioner, the Barnes County Clerk of the District Court and the Barnes County Auditor. This was incorrect according to the stipulation. It is apparent the District Judge considered the appeal was taken from an award made by the County Commissioners. As previously stated, none of the records of the proceedings had before the appeal to the District Court are made a part of the judgment roll and we do not know what took place.
The appellant, State Highway Commissioner, in his brief argues that the Highway Commissioner did not petition the Board of County Commissioners for a determination of damages as provided in Section 24-0119


of the 1957 Supplement to the NDRC 1943; but an informal hearing before the County Commissioners was held prior to the deposit made by the State Highway Commissioner with the Clerk of Court. However, the findings of the County Commissioners amounted only to a recommendation to the State Highway Commissioner. The hearing had no legal status, was not held pursuant to any law but was set up by the State Highway Commissioner informally merely for the purpose of providing an opportunity for the landowners and the Highway Commissioners' representatives to present their evidence as to damages to an impartial board to assist the Highway Commissioner in determining an amount to offer to purchase and to deposit with the clerk of court. The record certified to us on appeal,or less. Thus the taking was a narrow strip of land approximately 77 feet wide and a mile long, except in the vicinity of the farmyard where the taking was of a width of 27 feet. The taking was located at the east side of the section abutting the then Highway No. 32. The major portion of the land taken was farming or crop land. The portion of the farmyard taken contained a garden, some shrubs and a pile of dirt. (The pile of dirt consisted of dirt removed from an excavation located in the farmyard outside the area taken. A basement had been constructed and the landowners testified they intended to use the pile of dirt to fill the grade around the foundation.) About one-fourth to one-half


mile north of the buildings was located the end of a strip of trees which extended in an east and west direction. Thus the landowners contended that there were contained upon the strip of land taken certain improvements. The evidence adduced by the landowners values the land separately from the improvements heretofore named and the cost of moving a fence located within the strip taken to land owned paralleling the strip and consequential damages. Several witnesses were called. John Kuecks, husband of Della B. Kuecks, record owner of the land, testified that he removed over one-half mile of fence and rebuilt some of it. That the reasonable cost of taking down the fence and setting it up again was $125. That he obtained an estimate from an excavatingThe Mystery of the Concrete Tower

The long-deferred story behind a puzzling riverbank ruin

During the warm months every year, when nautical Vols and summer sailors get out on the river in boats in the downtown area, somebody brings it up. On the north shore, maybe half a mile east of downtown, is a building unlike any other in town. It's a peculiar structure, a cast-stone tower of variable height, depending on the water level: two, sometimes four stories tall, built in the shape of an elongated hexagon. The side that faces the river squarely has alternating eyelid-shaped apertures, like gun holes. On its top is a small turret-like structure. People want to believe it's a fortress of some sort. Maybe a pillbox to defend Knoxville from a naval invasion


by the Union Army. Or, in the alternative, a naval invasion by the Confederate Army. Some Knoxvillians were concerned about each threat.

One modern observer saw it from a boat and wondered if it could have been something left by the Indians. From a distance, it does look vaguely Mayan.

Lately, other people are noticing it from its other side. The Three Rivers Rambler steams by the structure on summer weekends, and the relatively recent extension of the Volunteer Landing greenway goes right by it.

The Volunteer Landing Marina, built a few years ago, has partly obscured the tower from the eyes of boaters, but now it also offers the best way to get a good look at its more distinctive riverfront side. It's an interesting walk, if you've never triedit ever had an address. It's not on a street. Except for the dock, there are no other buildings anywhere near it. It's just there, alone in a dense strip of woods along the riverbank.

But sometimes you just blunder across a clue.

A few weeks ago, looking for a picture of the elaborate old Vendome apartment building at the McClung Collection, I found a promotional book called
Progressive Knoxville
, dated 1904. A generation or two later, that title would have seemed an obvious joke, but in 1904, they took the idea earnestly.

On page 23 is a photograph of the tower. It looks different, with no woods around it, but other buildings and houses nearby.

It's labeled as â“Intake Tower at Knoxville Water Company's Main Pumping Station.â” The caption adds, â“Using the


latest invention of William Wheeler, Boston.â”

I'd never heard of Mr. Wheeler, but looked him up. I found he was a connoisseur of conduits. He's remembered today as pioneering a â“light pipeâ” technology sometimes cited as a precursor of fiber optics.

I also found out that the inventor's company, Wheeler & Parks, bought the whole Knoxville Water Co. in the early 1890s, and established, for the first time, a consistently effective filtration system, furnishing to the whole city water that was â“clear and sparkling.â” Not necessarily sanitaryâ"chlorination would come laterâ"but definitely clear and sparkling. In those days, it was expedient to locate the pumping station here, close to town but just upstream of the sewers and industrial drainpipes of the city.

It was apparently around that time of massive improvements tothe water-supply system that Wheeler and Parks built this intake tower below what was known as Reservoir Hill. Built in the late 1890s of concrete and iron, it reportedly pumped 15 million gallons per day.

It's silent now. I'm not sure when they turned it off. The water plant and intake that are still in use, the unaccountable handsome Mark B. Whitaker plant about a mile upstream at Williams Creek, was built in 1926. By then, this remnant of Victorian progress was known as â“the old intake tower.â”

Of course, today we just see the upper half of the utilitarian wonder that
Progressive Knoxville
advertised. Before the dams, the river used to fluctuate much more than it does today. In that 1904 photo, which may have been taken at a low stage


of the river's level to show the tower's full height, it's about twice as tall as it appears today. But if the building's upper apertures were ever at water level, as you'd assume, it would seem an indication that the river, while sometimes shallower, was also sometimes deeper than it ever gets now.

This section is now jungle-lush and green with thick kudzu and honeysuckle, with no streets in sight. The railroad's old, but the marina and bike trail are relatively new. You could easily assume this wilderness had never been developed at all until recently.

First, a number of agencies and NGOs have pointed to serious difficulties with a rather opaque, arbitrary and discretion-based approach to family reunification. It should be noted that an important recent critical study – by the Immigrant Council of Ireland – notes that Ireland has not signed up to the Directive, but does not recommend that it do so.
Second, the question of family unity has been central in the debate on the right of non-national parents of Irish citizen born children to reside in Ireland together with their children. This problem is, in a sense, of historical importance, since, following constitutional changes in 2004, children born in Ireland of non-national parents no longer have an entitlement to citizenship.

U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on a Somali-born congresswoman Friday while reversing his previous criticisms of a North Carolina crowd who chanted "Send her back," defending them as "patriots" while again questioning the loyalty of four Democratic lawmakers of colour.

In a week that has been full of hostile exchanges over race and love of country on both sides, Trump returned to a pattern that has become familiar during controversies of his own making: Ignite a firestorm, backtrack from it, but then double down on his original, inflammatory position.

"You know what I'm unhappy with?" Trump answered when reporters at the White House asked if he was unhappy with the Wednesday night crowd. "Those people in North Carolina, that stadium was packed. It was a record crowd. AndI could have filled it 10 times, as you know. Those are incredible people. They are incredible patriots. But I'm unhappy when a congresswoman goes and says, 'I'm going to be the president's nightmare."'

It was another dizzying twist in a saga sparked by the president's tweets , which opponents have called racist, about Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who moved from Somalia as a child, and her colleagues Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.

The moment took an ugly turn at the rally when the crowd's "Send her back" shouts resounded for 13 seconds as Trump made no attempt to interrupt them. He paused in his speech and surveyed the scene, taking in the uproar, though the next day


he claimed he did not approve of the chant and tried to stop it.

Watch Trump's reaction to the chants at his rally:

U.S. President Donald Trump remained silent during chants of 'Send her back!' at his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night. The following day he told reporters he disagreed with the sentiment. 0:18

But on Friday, he made clear he was not disavowing the chant and again laced into Omar, the target of the chant.

"You can't talk that way about our country. Not when I'm president," Trump said. "These women have said horrible things about our country and the people of our country."

He also tweeted that it was "amazing how the Fake News Media became `crazed' over the chant `send her back' by a packed Arena (a record)condemnation and scathing cable news coverage, he issued a clean-up statement at the White House days later. Yet, after watching the response to his reversal, he doubled back to his original position during a wild Trump Tower news conference.

Watch Trump reassert that there's 'blame on both sides' for Charlottesville:

U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his blame of “both sides” for the violence in Virginia, calling out the “alt-left” and equating it to the neo-Nazis on the right 3:06

This week, Trump started the tumult by tweeting Sunday that Omar and three other freshmen congresswomen could "go back" to their native countries if they were unhappy here.

The chants at the Trump rally brought criticism from GOP lawmakers as well as from Democrats, though the Republicans did not fault Trump


himself.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California declared that the chant has "no place in our party and no place in this country."

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois tweeted that it was "ugly, wrong, & would send chills down the spines of our Founding Fathers. This ugliness must end, or we risk our great union."

Citing Trump's rhetoric, House Democrats said they were discussing arranging security for Omar and the three other congresswomen.

Even by Trump's standards, the campaign rally offered an extraordinary tableau for American politics: a president drinking in a crowd's cries to expel a congresswoman from the country who is his critic and a woman of colour.

It was also the latest demonstration of how Trump's verbal cannonades are capable of dominating the news. Democrats had hoped theOmbudsman for Children criticises the Civil Partnership Bill for not addressing rights of children in same sex families

8 Jul 2010

The Ombudsman for Children, has made a submission on the Civil Partnership Bill 2009, in advance of the Seanad's consideration of the bill. She highlights concerns she has 'regarding the broad approach taken to the consideration of children's rights in the Bill and the impact the legislation will have on the children directly affected by it'. In particular she outlines a number of key concerns where the Bill does not adequately address the rights and needs of children, such as;

'The omission of robust protections for the children of civil partners will have real consequences for the young people concerned and it is in their interests that the law reflect

Yesterday, on May 21, Day was visiting his parents’ house in Bangor when he looked out the window and something caught his eye. At first, he thought the ball of fur tumbling across the street was a cat attacking an injured squirrel. Worried about the wild animal, he ran outside to find not one but four squirrels, and they appeared to be tied together by their tails.

With his phone, he took a short video of the remarkable sight, which he posted on YouTube today.

“I took the video as a holy-cow-what-the-hell-is-this video,” Day, 41, said in a phone interview

"Mr. Lundell was pretty special," said Pine Ridge High School Principal John Atkinson. "He gave of his time so often, just to tutor and to mentor, and just to establish real personal relationships with the kids."

Staff and students were shattered to hear that the 48-year-old died.

They shared pictures and stories of the teacher at a remembrance ceremony Wednesday morning, which almost the entire high school attended.

Earlier this year, after learning the teacher was hospitalized for the third time with lymphoma, the prom team renamed themselves Team Charlie, raising thousands of dollars that would have gone to the dance, for something, or rather someone far dearer to hearts.

Lundell's school family will continue to support his family, including Lundell's wife, who is expecting the couple's twins this June.

Power Ranking Notables

Brackets are officially busted. The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins were swept in four games. The Calgary Flames were ousted in five by the Colorado Avalanche, while the Winnipeg Jets were polished off in six by the St. Louis Blues. As it stands right now, only one higher seeded team has won a playoff series: the New York Islanders. This has been a weird post season to say the least.

The Avalanche jump all the way up to the second spot on our list, after easily handling the Flames. The top line of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and Mikko Rantanen showed exactly why they are the best line in the NHL.

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are heading to Game 7, yetto pace the league, with Rantanen close behind after a strong week.

The Bad

The big guns for the #1 seeds did not show up in the first round. Johnny Gaudreau finished with one assist, while Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point finished with a combined three points. Both teams needed more, and while it’s not the sole reason, their respective teams are already on summer breaks.

Biggest Gainer and Loser

Gainer: Dallas Stars (+7)

Two dominant wins and the series lead heading into a Game 6 on home ice has the Stars rolling. The offence is really starting to click as previously mentioned, and Ben Bishop has been the model of consistency. The stars may have been a wild card team, but they are proving they are far from that.

Loser: Nashville Predators (-7)

The


team the Stars are facing are trending in the opposite direction. Pekka Rinne has not been himself, and the outstanding defence is having a hard time stopping the aforementioned scorers. With Game 6 being an away game for the Predators, you wonder if another divisional winner is going to fall in the first round.

The game starts with main protagonist Ness waking up in the night because of a strange loud noise. He gets outside to find out a meteorite has crashed on a hill nearby. A bee-like creature from the future explains Ness he has to stop the evil Gigas by finding 8 melodies and save them in a so-called Sound Stone. Ness meets three other characters on his quest and they experience a very quirky story on their way to stop the thread from outer space.

The graphics are quite colourful and I really like the playful art-style which has aged pretty well in my opinion. There are very interesting but strange aspects to the graphics such as a psychedelic background animation in battle


Sir Alex Ferguson didn't get an awful lot wrong during his time at Manchester United but, three-and-half years after he said it, his assertion that Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling would be Old Trafford's central defensive pairing of the future remains distinctly unproven.

'That is how I look upon it,' said Ferguson in an interview with the official Inside United magazine in February 2011. 'I think their time will come.'

Had things gone as planned, this indeed would be the era of Evans and Smalling. Both have been at the club for long enough now. This season, for the first time, the path to the first team has been left clear by the departures of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Chris Smalling has failed to cement a place in the heartof Manchester United's defence

Jonny Evans had to be replaced during the first-half against Leicester with an injury

Sir Alex Ferguson (centre right) predicted Smalling (far right) and Evans would be the club's defensive pairing

Still United wait, though. As both careers continues to be hampered by injury, Evans and Smalling remain some way short of a pairing that can move United forwards to where they need to be in the coming weeks, months and years.

Recent problems for Louis van Gaal in his first season at United have only highlighted the issue. Four goals were conceded at Milton Keynes Dons in the Capital One Cup while an astonishing five were shipped at Leicester in the Barclays Premier League at the weekend.

Now, with Evans injured and young prospect Tyler Blackett suspended after


a red card on Sunday, Van Gaal is having to countenance the prospect of using central midfielder Michael Carrick as a defender when he returns from the ankle injury that has ruined his summer and early season.

Certainly, it is difficult to see who United's central defensive pairing will be this time next year, never mind in five years' time. This, as much as anything, illustrates how the natural evolution that top clubs like to oversee in all areas of a playing squad has stalled in defensive areas at Old Trafford in recent years.

Ferguson also signed England man Phil Jones from Blackburn three summers ago. That was part of the grand plan, too. But Jones, shunted about too often from midfield to defence, has similarly struggled to consistently make an impact.

Neither of the three players will like to hear it, no player does, but Jones, Evans and Smalling are all too injury prone. That, in some way, is why it


a cast with a foot injury and Smalling had come on to replace him. Blackett, meanwhile, had been sent off. And so it goes on.

Tyler Blackett (right) was sent off for United during their humbling at the King Power Stadium

Evans (centre) has only managed to play seven games in a row for United in the last two years

Interestingly, United's medical staff began this season convinced that their defenders would enjoy relatively injury-free campaigns. With players like the three we have mentioned reaching physical maturity, it was anticipated inside the club that they would be available more often.

How you can make those assessments is hard to understand but, whatever the science behind it, the opposite is proving true so far.

While better coalescing solvents have a retention time of about one year in dried paint films, cracking nevertheless starts to progressively appear after one year in the dried paint films. Hence, the elimination of coalescing solvents and attendant objectionable odors, along with air pollution caused by volatile organic compounds (VOC), and film cracking deficiencies represent both a technical and marketing advance in the state of the art of consumer latex paints.

Suicide attacks on two predominantly Christian communities in northeast Nigeria today and on Wednesday (Jan. 27) left at least 26 persons dead and dozens of others injured, sources said.

At noon today a suicide bomber suspected to have been sent by the Islamic extremist Boko Haram group detonated explosives in a crowded market in Gombi, Adamawa state, killing at least eight people, sources said. Boko Haram, which seeks to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria, has continued to carry out terrorist attacks since losing territory to the Nigerian military last year.

“Some members of our church who escaped the attack in the market said they saw eight dead bodies, while about 28 others were injured,” the Rev. Bitrus Njidda, pastor of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria (EYN) inthe town, told Morning Star News.

The Red Cross reported eight persons killed and 25 wounded in the bombing, said to have been carried out by a teenage boy.

Gombi was one of several Christian communities taken over by Boko Haram, and many of the town’s displaced Christians are EYN members still living in camps for internally displaced people in other parts of the country, the pastor said. Though the Nigerian military hs since reclaimed Gombi, many of these displaced Christians have refused to return to the town due to fear of terrorists.

In Chibok, Borno state, suicide bombers suspected to have been sent by Boko Haram bombed a crowded market on Wednesday (Jan. 27), killing at least 17 civilians and a soldier and injuring at least 30 others, sources said.


Following the government troop recovery of the town, the market had reopened that day for the first time since Boko Haram took over Chibok two years ago, area Christians said.

Boko Haram kidnapped more than 300 high school girls in Chibok in April 2014 because of its mainly Christian population. Of the girls kidnapped since the Islamic extremist rebels seized the town two years ago, 219 remain missing.

Six suicide bombers reportedly entered Chibok on Wednesday, and The AP reported a military spokesman said that two of them were disguised as women.

Ayuba Ali, a resident of Chibok town, told Morning Star News that more than 15 persons lost their lives and another 30 were injured in the attack carried out in three locations in the town.

“Twenty-one wounded people have alreadysearch blew herself up, killing several people and wounding a commander, according to The AP. Veiled women or men dressed as women detonated other explosives at the market, it reported.

Recently Boko Haram, which originated in Maiduguri, Borno state and has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, has increasingly used child and adult suicide bombers who may have been captured by the terrorist group. The bombers may not be carrying out the atrocities willingly; some explosives have been detonated remotely, a military bomb expert has told The AP.

Boko Haram launched a violent campaign in 2009 that has killed an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 people and forced more than 2.5 million to flee their homes. Muhammadu Buhari, president of the 51-percent Christian and 45-percent Muslim country, last month declared that

Recurrence of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst: a case report.
A 65-year-old man presented with bitemporal hemianopsia. He had undergone frontal craniotomy for a Rathke's cleft cyst associated with narrowed visual field 8 years earlier. His vision had returned to normal soon after surgery and he remained asymptomatic until the present complaint. Neurodiagnostic imaging revealed a recurrence of the intrasellar cyst extending into the suprasellar cistern. His vision improved rapidly after a second surgery. The histological findings were the same as those of the previous operation; the cyst wall was composed of a single layer of ciliated columnar epithelium resting on a collagenous connective tissue stroma.The Wall Street ties of two top aides to Hillary Clinton at the State Department are raising concerns among progressives about the composition of a future Clinton White House.

Nides is also the former chairman of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (Sifma), the main lobbying group for Wall Street in Washington DC.

Hormats, a former vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs, served as under secretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment from 2009 to 2013.
