joy?

I stammered out some version of this question to Daniel Messinger—how thinking of emotions as things that develop can seem like an alien idea.

He paused. "Well, you have a baby, right?"

"Yeah."

"So what's your experience..." He laughed.

I laughed, too, because, well, yeah: when you are actually with a baby, such a perspective makes perfect sense. Isaiah had gone from a spectral presence to mischievous sprite, and it was his developing emotional life, as much as anything else, that transformed him: his new joy, his anger, even his sadness, they were what gave him vitality. He'd expanded into himself, like a collapsed sack taking flight as a hot air balloon.

All that said:

Who wants to be the asshole who says a baby's first smile isn't a Technicolor rainbow of happiness? "Wethey turned out debilitated. Wowed by his insight into the importance of touch, Harlow only later realized what the cloth "mother" didn't do. "She didn't teach, direct, or steer the baby toward others," Harlow's biographer Deborah Blum writes. "From cloth mom, baby really learned more isolation, separation from others."

Harlow had revolutionized the idea of what infants needed: he'd proved something that seemed too warm and fuzzy to be provable. But Harlow's baby monkey, despite being "touched," was still the bubble-baby of John Watson's era. "The original concept of his surrogate mother," Blum writes, "was still grounded in that sterilized notion of a healthy baby—clean, fed, warm, disease free, isolated from harm. Once again that had been proved incomplete at best and destructive at worst."

Incomplete and destructive: these are

The draft entitled; “Strategic communication of the EU as a counter-propaganda of the third parties,” states that Russia is waging an information war against the EU.

The document goes on to say that aid that Russia:

“Aggressively uses a wide range of tools and instruments, in particular, the special funds (“Russian World”), multilingual TV channels (Russia Today, RIA Novosti), news Agency (Sputnik), social and religious associations (including the Orthodox Church), and social media and Internet trolls to attack Western values, promote disengagement in Europe, and domestic support and create the impression that the Eastern partnership countries are failed.”

Furthermore, the committee suggests a global EU


Soros and his various Open Societies programs. Enough about the greater scope, let’s continue with the Poland initiative.

The original draft was prepared by Polish Deputy, Anna Fotyga, who is the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of her country. Interestingly, this is the same person who was dismissed and then reinstated (a trick maneuver) from her post for pursuing a policy of isolation about Russia and Germany back in 2006. Pertinent names and NGOs to associate with her include: Lyudmyla Kozlovska – the founder of Open Dialogue Foundation, which is further linked to Open Society Foundations; Artur Deska, who participated in both the Orange Revolution and EuroMaidan;

NATO by virtue of her position as chairmanship of the Subcommittee on Security and Defense (SEDE); Bush Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; andmany others acutely involved in a protracted Cold War billed as new détente. Whether Fotyga is some hapless “yes girl” for those that control NATO or not, the long-term planning of the overall foreign policy is undeniable. I am of the opinion now, the US and European leadership had no intentions whatever of normalizing relations with Russia. NATO and the US hegemony was full active all along.

This WikiLeaks document sheds light on just who Anna Fotyga is. An assessment sent to the Secretary of State | U.S. Mission to the European Union (formerly EC) (Brussels) describes Fotyga’s office as the “black hole” where decisions go to die, and goes on to frame the diplomat as the incessant suckling to President Lech Kaczynski, for her relentless questioning of every


Cohn opened two accounts with the defendant bank, one in his own name, and one in the name of Atlas Audit Corporation, of which he was president. These accounts were small and unsatisfactory, and after two or three months were closed out by order of the bank's officers, Messrs. Rodriguez and Kaplowitz. Mr. Rodriguez was the vice president and general manager. Mr. Kaplowitz was the cashier. Henry Wollenweber was the assistant cashier, and as such he supervised the accounting department of the bank and the work of its receiving and paying tellers. During 1925 Cohn and Wollenweber became friendly, and the latter permitted Cohn to open accounts with the bank, using fictitious names in order to conceal the fact from the bank's officers, and to use the accountsand such payments were subsequently covered by Cohn, either by a deposit of cash, or of checks which were carried as cash by the teller. No entry was made on the books of the bank of any of these transactions. Wollenweber admitted receiving bribes of cash and jewelry from Cohn in return for these accommodations.
The suspicions of Wollenweber's superior officers that he was committing irregularities were first aroused on October 5, 1925, when Mr. Rodriguez received a telephone call from the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company requesting him to redeem a certain check drawn upon the trust company and by mistake paid by it, although the drawer's account was insufficient. The check was drawn to the order of Harry A. Cohn, was indorsed by him, and had come through


the defendant bank. Rodriguez found that no account in the name of Cohn was carried on *296 the books of the bank. The trust company also inquired about the S. M. Barnett account, and Rodriguez ascertained from the books that there was a small account in this name. He then called in Wollenweber, and was told by him that he had cashed the check in question to accommodate his friend Cohn, after telephoning the trust company and being informed by it that the check was good. With respect to the Barnett account, Rodriguez says that Wollenweber said that "he had allowed them to make deposits to cover checks which had come in through the Federal Reserve Bank exchange."
The next morning, Kaplowitz, who also talked with Wollenweber on Octoberaccount of any depositor.
Upon being confronted with these three checks, Wollenweber says he admitted to Kaplowitz and Rodriguez that the checks had been delivered to him by an employee of Cohn, and that he had cashed them before collection, and had instructed the paying teller to carry them as cash items. It was, as the defendant contends, a misappropriation of the bank's money by Wollenweber, who turned the same over to Cohn on Cohn's promise to repay the amount before the misappropriation was discovered.
This made Cohn the bank's debtor in the sum of $23,725. He received the bank's money, knowing that Wollenweber had no authority to deal with it in this manner. In other words, he converted the bank's money, and became its debtor, within the meaning of


cash later in the day, and $725 by a withdrawal order on his personal savings deposit in the bank. Of the cash so paid, $19,500 was obtained by Wollenweber from Cohn; $3,500 in cash and the withdrawal deposit of $725 was Wollenweber's own money.
The petition in bankruptcy was filed against Cohn two days later, October 8, 1925. He testified that he was hopelessly insolvent on October 6, when his $19,500 was paid to Wollenweber, and it was stipulated in the case that the trustee in bankruptcy would be able to pay only a small dividend to creditors. Consequently the sole disputed question on the issue of a voidable preference is whether the bank officials knew that the money came from Cohn, and that he was in financial difficulties.This is the issue upon which the case turns.
There is no dispute that Wollenweber knew of Cohn's insolvency. He met Cohn on the evening of October 5, apparently following his interview with Rodriguez, and told Cohn he would have to take care of the overdrafts amounting to $23,725. Cohn replied that he was on the eve of bankruptcy, but that he would sell jewelry enough to make good the account and protect the bank. Wollenweber says that, when he turned the cash over to Rodriguez on October 6, he told him that he had obtained it from Cohn's employee, Arnow, who had disposed of jewelry to raise it, and that Cohn was in financial difficulties and had fled to Newark. If this is believed, there is no doubt


that the bank had such knowledge as to make its receipt of the money a voidable preference. The amount of the preference, however, would be only $19,500. What Wollenweber paid out of his own pocket was not a preference.
Rodriguez denies this conversation with Wollenweber. He denies that he knew the money came from Cohn. He says that Cohn was mentioned to him only on October 5 in connection with the check about which the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company had telephoned, and that all Wollenweber said was that Cohn was a friend of his. He says that, when the three checks in question were discovered on the morning of October 6, he *297 did not in any way connect them with Cohn; that he asked Wollenweber why he hadcashed them, and was told he did it to accommodate a friend; that the name of Cohn was not mentioned, either in that conversation or when the money was paid over later in the day. He says, further, that he told Wollenweber most emphatically that he must get the money that day; but he was not interested in where Wollenweber would get it, and he did not ask who was the friend whom Wollenweber had accommodated.
This story of the interview with Wollenweber upon discovery of the checks taxes credulity. It is incredible that, when the bank officers find their employee favoring a friend with the bank's money, they should make no inquiry as to who the friend was, and whether he could make good. Wollenweber, getting only $3,500


or $4,000 a year salary, could scarcely be expected to have $23,725 that he could lay his hands on instantly. When Rodriguez testifies that he did not ask who had received the accommodation, and that he was not interested in where the money to repay it was to come from, he belies human nature. He admits that he learned on October 5 that Cohn was the friend for whom Wollenweber had cashed the trust company check. No reason appears why Rodriguez should not have gotten similar information regarding the other three checks discovered on the 6th. His story that he was satisfied with Wollenweber's statement that he had been "a damn fool" to assist a friend, and questioned him no further, is unbelievable. His statement that he didnot connect Cohn with the three checks in question is contradicted by the very terms of one of the checks, for the $10,000 check returned by the Federal Reserve Bank was drawn by Rabinowitz to the order of Harry A. Cohn. It is not believable that, when Rodriguez inquired about the S. M. Barnett account on October 5, he learned merely that it was a small account. Wollenweber's story that he then told Rodriguez who Barnett was is far more likely.
The subsequent conduct of Rodriguez in respect to this transaction is not such as to inspire trust in his veracity. He admittedly lied to Assistant District Attorney Pecora when questioned about Wollenweber's irregularities regarding these checks. He denied that he had learned of such irregularities on October 5


or 6, 1925, or that the bank had ever received any money from Wollenweber to make good the overdrafts of $23,725. When confronted by Wollenweber, who had already told the facts to Mr. Pecora, Rodriguez persisted in his denial. A few days later, after consulting his attorney, he wrote Mr. Pecora a letter, admitting his denials were false, and offering as an excuse that he had promised Wollenweber not to disclose his irregularities, except to the directors of the bank. This excuse, lame at best, collapses completely when it is remembered that the second denial was in Wollenweber's presence, and after Wollenweber had himself admitted the truth to Mr. Pecora in the presence of Rodriguez. Rodriguez also lied to Mr. Galinson, the accountant of the trustee in bankruptcy,if Wollenweber's testimony is to be believed. No effort was made to contradict it. Wollenweber says that, when Galinson called at the bank, Rodriguez told him the bank had not received the money. Wollenweber also says that Rodriguez told him to keep quiet about the payment lest the creditors should be able to get it. Rodriguez was not questioned about this conversation.
Kaplowitz tells much the same story as Rodriguez as to the interview with Wollenweber on October 6. On direct examination he says he did not know that Cohn was involved in the $23,725 represented by the checks. On cross-examination, however, when confronted with his testimony in the bankruptcy proceedings, he admitted that Wollenweber had told him on October 5, when the check returned by the Irving Bank-Columbia


the city was the first in the nation to ban natural gas drilling. Pennsylvania lies on the Marcellus Shale formation, making it a ground-zero for fracking.

Organizers also planned to train attendees on how to run campaigns on college campuses and in their home states focused on organizing the youth vote, “nonviolent direct action” and divesting from fossil fuels.

Conference attendees want the Environmental Protection Agency to reopen investigations into groundwater contamination in Dimock, Pa., Pavillion, Wyo., and Parker County, Texas. Fox said activists had so far gathered more than 270,000 signatures on a petition asking EPA to reopen the investigations.

EPA halted its investigation into contaminated water in Pavillion in June, turning the probe over to the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality,which will receive funding from the Wyoming Natural Resource Foundation via Encana Corp., the company whose fracking is accused of tainting the groundwater supply.

EPA said it was turning its focus toward its national study into the relationship between fracking and drinking water.

The agency also discontinued water testing in Dimock, where citizens were concerned that a Cabot Oil and Gas well had contaminated a nearby aquifer. The agency conducted several tests with mixed results, though the most recent tests conducted in the spring of 2012 did not show contamination levels of concern, EPA said. The agency stopped deliveries of fresh water to the affected homes last year.

The back-and-forth pattern also cropped up in Parker County, where EPA issued an emergency order in 2010 requiring the oil and gas producer

His crime thrillers were dark and morbid. Lapped up by the audiences, he
was the toast of the town. Some of his critics mentioned thathis films

He started drug trafficking and pimping. But then he came across a

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Surpasses $50 Million in Revenue

It may not have been the fastest Nintendo mobile game to do so, but Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has finally passed the $50 million mark. The news comes to us from Sensor Tower, who has been monitoring the sales for the game since it was released last year. While it took a little longer than other games like Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes, the game has now hit a specific threshold to where it can be deemed a success. Here’s a little more info on the numbers.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp revenue has largely come from players in Japan, who’ve contributed about 81 percent of the total it has earned to date. The United States is a distant secondBeijing: China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom Liu Xiaoming said that Pak-China economic partnership is a best demonstration of Belt and Road’s initiative (BRI).

The CPEC has set the pace of global connectivity plan’s implementation under the BRI, he was speaking at the launch-event of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Belt and Road Initiative and CPEC held at House of Commons.

According to the Chinese media’s reports, the event was arranged by Faisal Rashid, a member of Parliament and chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the BRI and CPEC.

The ambassador told the audience that the CPEC is a $62 billion connectivity project envisioned to stretch from the western Chinese city of Kashgar to Pakistan’s port of Gwadar, located near Iran and the Persian Gulf shipping routes that are


acquainted with both Seader and Sandell.  She met Seader while she was employed in Homestead, Florida.  She accompanied Seader and Joe Gregory to Sandell's home in Palm Beach on a Sunday morning in October, 1968.  Seader and Gregory had with them about twenty of the stolen Express money orders.  After the Sunday conversations at Sandell's she spent the night in a motel in the Palm Beach area while the other two returned to Homestead to retrieve the money order machine.  They returned early Monday morning, after which all three again went to Sandell's house, with the money order machine in the trunk of the automobile.  After a brief visit in the Sandell house, Shiland saw Seader take a dirty clothes basket outto his automobile, put the money order machine in that container, bring it back in the house, and deliver it to Sandell.  They were also at Sandell's on at least two other days that week.  It was her testimony, and that of Joe Gregory, that during these visits Seader and Gregory, in return for the money order machine and forms, obtained false identification papers from Sandell, that is, Florida driver's licenses and a Woolco credit card typed out by Sandell in the names of individuals taken from a telephone book.  These false driver's licenses were used as identification upon which to cash many of the stolen money orders.

13
The second witness for the Government was Elmo Frederick Midyette, Jr. Midyette was personally acquainted with both Seader


and Joseph Gregory, as well as with Miss Shiland.  He also knew David Bishop, one time assistant manager of the 7-11 store in Homestead.  Midyette personally participated in and described the entry into the 7-11 store on October 5, 1968, and the taking of the money order machine and the money order forms.  The other participants were Joe Gregory and assistant manager Bishop.  Seader did not enter the store but waited about a block away and thereafter went with the others to a canal bank where they 'printed up' the money orders.  They had taken nine books, consisting of 180 forms.  Seader was present when they discarded the money order machine and some of the forms on the canal bank.  Midyette,within a few days, was arrested by the Prince George County, Virginia, police department and held because he had some of the money order forms in his possession.

14
The next witness was Mrs. Carroll Helen Chesser.  Mrs. Chesser was the head teller at the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of West Palm Beach.  She testified that on October 8, 1968, Sandell presented and she cashed the stolen money order described in the indictment.  She identified this instrument by her teller's stamp and her handwriting.  At the cashing, Sandell wore a moustache, had dark hair, and a receding hairline.  He told her that he was a musician with a band in Miami.

15
She did not see Sandell again until the day prior to her testimony,


when she ran into him in a corridor of the courthouse.  Sandell was on bail at the time and not in the company of officers.  No one pointed him out to her but she recognized him.

16
Mrs. Chesser was about to make an incourt identification of Sandell when his counsel objected and the jury was retired.  Mrs. Chesser then testified that about November 8, 1968, an F.B.I. agent came to see her about the missing money orders.  He had several photographs of white men, some young and some middleaged.  There were four or five of them.  She had previously stated to the detectives that the man for whom she cashed the money order had a moustache, dark hair, and a receding hairline. About a week before the trial, for the second time, she was shown the same pictures by the F.B.I.  On both occasions she identified Sandell's picture as being that of the man who had cashed the money order.

17
Joe Gregory was brought in to see if he, not Sandell, was really the man who cashed the money order, as they resembled each other, at least as to age, color of the hair, and moustache.  Mrs. Chesser insisted that it was Sandell who cashed the money order, that there was no question in her mind of the correctness of her identification.

18
While the jury remained out of the courtroom, the defense called Robert E. Wonderle, a state officer, who testified that on the previous day, while the witnesses were


bearing the name of 'Clifton J. Carlin'.  Joseph Gregory was again brought to the courtroom, before the jury, and Mrs. Chesser said she did not recognize him.

21
Later on, Joseph Gregory testified that the 'Clifton J. Carlin' driver's license was given him by Sandell and that he used it to cash various money orders, at least one of them at a point near in time and place to the episode described by Mrs. Chesser.  Also, Gregory testified that he was under the influence of narcotics most of the time, including LSD on one occasion.  He said he had been off narcotics for seven months at the time of the trial.

22
Gregory also testified that he went to Sandell's house in the early part of October, 1968, withRichard Seader, where he met Ray Sandell, Sandra Jean Neal, and another person whom he did not know.  He saw Sandell type out the false driver's licenses and give them to Gregory and to Seader, as well as a Woolco credit card which was given to Seader.

23
Sandra Jean Neal, the indicted co-defendant who pleaded guilty, testified that she was at Sandell's home when Minda Mondy, Richard Seader, and Joe Gregory came there on Sunday morning, October 6, 1968, that Seader talked with Sandell in one of the backrooms, but she heard none of the conversation.  They all came back to the house on Monday, but Sandell was not there.  She left with them and afterwards went to Miami with Joe Gregory, who, on the return


trip, gave her some money orders to cash, and asked her about obtaining some kind of ID card.  She had been living with Sandell for about two months at the time of these incidents.

24
Miss Neal identified two money orders which she had cashed, one of them at the Merlin-Rent-a-Car (Mr. Donald Hill).  She testified that Royce Peake, an employee of Sandell's drove her to the Rent-a-Car office, that she had never seen Sandell with any American Express money orders or with a money order machine.

25
John Thomas Munn was a resident of the Sandell house.  He testified that he was at Sandell's on Sunday, October 6, 1968, when Richard Seader, Joseph Gregory, and Minda Mondy paid a visit at about 10 o'clock in the morning. what happened?

118
'A.  No, sir, it's not.

119
'Q.  Mr. Hill, showing you this card case which has been marked as Exhibit No. 22 for identification for the Government-- can you identify that?

120
'A.  Yes, sir.

121
'Q.  What is it, please?

122
'A.  This is the wallet that Martha Austin had her driver's license in and when she handed it to me it had a picture, and she told me that this was her son.'

123
Thomsa Ray Sandell, age thirty-one, took the stand in his own defense.  He had never been convicted of crime, was an accountant, a part time policeman, and an elected councilman in Royal Palm Beach.  He also was a minister.  He admitted seeing Seader, Gregory, and Mondy on Sunday, October 6, 1968, at his


him at the jail (Philbin denied making this statement).

125
On cross examination Sandell testified that he had been divorced from his wife in Palm Beach on December 6, 1965, had remarried after he was charged in this case, but had lived for nine months with Sandra Jane Neal without being married to her.  He owned a 1966 blue corvair convertible.  He claimed Seader came to his house to discuss marital difficulties-- that he had performed the ceremony when Seader was married.

126
John Thomas Munn, in general, agreed with Sandell's version of what happened at the jail when he, Sandell, and Neal were booked.  Specifically, he said that he heard Hill say at least twice that he could not identify Sandell until the wallet was produced.

127
We consider firstJesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may (come to) believe… (Jn 18,1-19,42)

The reading presents a long narration of the passion and death of Jesus. The passion narrative gives a continuous flow of events. As the events take place, the narratives show the choice one makes. In two instances Pilot forces the people to make a choice.

In the first instance Jesus is brought in front of the people and the people are made to choose between Barabbas and Jesus. Jesus stands in par with


is condemned to death. He is crucified. As the gospel writer presents, God chooses Jesus, because the scriptures are fulfilled in Jesus. People have not chosen him. God has done it.

An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may (come to) believe. The gospel writer presents himself as an eye witness and he speaks the truth. If we have believed all that he has said so far in his writings (the miracles, parables, and teachings) then we are in line with his writings. Now he presents him as Son of God and his testimony is true. The reader is asked to believe in Jesus.

Jesus is the Son of God; he was rejected by his ownas a context makes a covenant with the people of his times. He takes all the religious, liturgical significances as the background for what he is about to do. The Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark and Luke, make (give an opportunity to make) another liturgical event. That is, Jesus institutes the Eucharist and the Priesthood. This is the covenant that he makes; that is, he will be with the people till the end through the Eucharist and through Priesthood. His life and mission will continue to be fulfilled through these two signs.

John the evangelist, in stead, presents the washing of the feet of the disciples in the place of the institution of the Eucharist and the Priesthood. Does he give the same importance to this action? It could be.

Scenes From a Broken Hand

Monday, November 28, 2016

The modern idea of Democracy is rooted in the 18th
century European Enlightenment and its belief in reason, rationality, and empirical
evidence. The founders believed that if sound arguments were placed in front of
people, people could figure out the right course of action. We would read or
hear the opposing arguments, laid out cleanly and clearly. We would debate and
discuss them, like civilized people, and then we would decide. The arguments
for and against the Constitution, laid out in the Federalist and
Anti-Federalist papers,
followed this recipe pretty well. Arguments were made, supporting evidence and
precedents were cited, respect was given to opposing viewpoints. Up and down
the new states, people read, discussed, and argued—passionately, but more-or-less
rationally.

And then, almost immediately, the founders threw reason to
the wind and started arguingThis renewal application requests continued funding of a predoctoral training program in cellular and molecular biology at Yale University. Since its inception in 1975, the goal of the program has been to provide trainees with both a strong intellectual foundation through coursework and rigorous experimental training in research areas that take molecular and mechanistic approaches to a broad range of basic biological problems. Students and faculty participating in this training program are from several departments, including the main undergraduate campus and the School of Medicine. Thus, the training program fosters connections that transcend departmental boundaries. Much of the research carried out by our students has clear relevance to human health and disease. Students supported by the training program will be in their first, second, or third year of


graduate school. The students arrive at Yale as members of the campus-wide Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). They come with a range of backgrounds in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, molecular biology and physics, and all students have had significant research experience before graduate school. In their first year, students will take courses that provide general knowledge in disciplines related to cellular and molecular biology and a conceptual grounding for critical evaluation of research design and methods. Students will also carry out research rotations in at least three laboratories selected according to their research interests. By the end of the first year, students will choose their thesis research advisor and affiliate with an appropriate academic department. During the second year, academic requirements for candidacy inthe Ph.D. degree will be completed, including a qualifying exam in which the student prepares and defends a thesis proposal. By the third year, a thesis advisory committee will be assembled to guide each student to the completion of his or her Ph.D. training. Teaching experience is an essential part of training, and all students teach with supervision and guidance from the faculty. The average time to graduation is six years.


running at him – a result of the ageing midfield. Tested time and time again, he proved solid throughout (but even more so in the second half of the season). Not as good as van Dijk but for me Pique was the best of the “regular” world class centre backs this season (something similar, albeit in another position, applies to Henderson).

Barcelona’s away game against Manchester United showed Pique at his best.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

What an interesting player! When I see Robertson, I see a player in the typical current mold of elite fullbacks: someone who likely played as a winger earlier on, but was transformed into a defensive player because of their defensive skills (and relative lack of offensive skills…). Then there is the Lahm-sub-mold: central midfielders at heart, playingthe season, while adding his own twist to it. Parejo started slowly into the season, but from Christmas on I saw him as the best defensive midfielder around. The “Busquets-imitation-act” part already implies that Parejo has a fantastic tactical awareness, flawless basic technique and outstanding decision making (right things almost all the time, genius things in between). What he adds is an eye for the final ball and the ability to slot home the occasional penalty.

At 30 his remaining time at the top is limited, but if he plays like he did in 2019 so far, he could strengthen basically any top team in the world.

To see him at his best, pick any match against Barcelona or Madrid from the second half of the season.

Jordan Henderson

Liverpool’s captain belonged


to the wider circle of high quality players who stand a chance of making one of these teams for half a decade now. He never impressed me enough to make it to the first eleven or to the bench (which might have been unfair on my part), but he was rarely far off. This season two things changed. First, he further improved his game and managed to impress both in routine league fixtures and on big European nights. And second, the fight for a spot in the midfield grew a little less competitive than in the years before. The combination of both made me pick him out of a group of midfielders with a similarly strong season behind them.

Henderson is one of the best modern midfield alrounders. Ahis full potential. Hazard, on the other hand, has. And the performances he has produced doing so make him the finest left-sided attacking player in the world today.

Hazard, like Bernardo Silva on the other wing, isn’t as quick as players like Neymar or Mbappé (although he is far from slow either). He is a complete modern forward. In transition situations, he can keep up with the counter attack. And in static possession situations, he can create opportunities by either dribbling and passing in tight spaces. 16 league goals and 15 league assists showcase his mature, well-rounded game. In a way, his playing style is that of a mortal Messi. This should be compliment enough.

One particular match in which he impressed me came early in the season. He entered


He was once again the best striker, winger and attacking midfielder in the world at the same time. Players like Agüero, Cristiano Ronaldo, Hazard, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, and (if fit) Kevin De Bruyne can claim to rival him for one of these titles respectively, but once again no one came close to rival him for all three. In short: the man I think is the best player of all time produced another season that strengthens his claim to GOAT status.

Messi became Barcelona’s captain this season and that, arguably, impacted his game somewhat. He played like someone who felt the responsibility of carrying Barcelona. In critical moments he demanded the ball even more vehemently than before and tried to force the game changing moment more than before. Had henot been injured for a month early in the season and had not Barcelona wrapped up the La Liga title early, his numbers might have been even more impressive as they are anyway.

To watch him at his best, have a look at this Champions League match against Spurs and at his masterclass versus Betis.

The best player of the season by some distance. The only question is how long he will be able to keep this up. And maybe whether Barcelona can manage to build another strong team around him.

Bernardo Silva

Manchester City had a big problem this season. They have many world class players but only one, who in my book even transcends this category: Kevin De Bruyne. He is their game changer. And he was injured for most


of the season. That City nevertheless managed to fight a gruesome duel for the title with Liverpool to the end and come out on top is testament to several things: the quality of their manager, the quality of the overall (super expensive) squad, and, last but not least, the quality of Bernardo Silva.

After playing a good 17-18, Silva now entered the world elite for good. In the first half of the season he did so primarily as an attacking midfielder. Later on, he did so with equal aplomb as a right winger. Silva is an intelligent dribbler and passer who has also got an eye for goal. He is not the strongest or the quickest but an expert for tight spaces and near impossible angles.

As a winger Irate Sterling slightly over Silva. But since I wanted to field at least three players who played as proper midfielders this season (which Silva did and Sterling didn’t), the overall team dynamic made me choose Silva. He plays around Messi. When Messi occupies the wing, Silva acts as a No. 10. And when Messi is the No.10, Silva plays as a winger.

Sergio Agüero

Central striker, as it often is, was the hardest to fill spot on the team sheet. Not for a lack of quality players, but because there were so many of them. Cristiano Ronaldo in particular is the 12th man of this team and is unlucky to miss out. But in the end, Agüero performed just a bit better in my book. In the relentless Premier League

Gould manufactures electrolytic copper foil, which is used in producing printed computer circuit boards, at its foil division in Eastlake, Ohio.  Dale C. Danver was an engineer in Gould's foil division from June 1981 until August 1983, when he left to form Danver Technologies Group, Inc.  Danver then entered into negotiations regarding copper foil manufacturing with Trefimetaux, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pechiney at the time these events took place, and with Pechiney itself or its agents.  Although Trefimetaux manufactured copper and copper alloy products, neither Pechiney nor Trefimetaux had ever produced copper foil.  Sometime in late 1984, Trefimetaux informed Danver that it was notGould's attorneys.  This lengthy affidavit detailed the dates, locations, and purposes of the numerous discussions between Trefimetaux and Danver, several of which took place in Ohio, and indicated that defendants had several other commercial contacts in the United States.

Defendants filed a reply to Gould's response and moved for leave to file a reply brief instanter.  In their reply, defendants objected to several statements contained in the Wick affidavit, and to its admissibility.  On the same day, the district court issued its opinion and order denying defendants' motion to dismiss.  The district court apparently based its opinion upon both the Paul and Wick affidavits.  The court certified its order for an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(b).  Defendants appealed the denial of

In addressing the issue of whether a sufficient amount of that activity was carried on in the United States, the district court said that it "appears" that defendants were "extensively represented" in the United States by their "agent," Pechiney Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in negotiating and planning a possible joint venture with Danver, who had wrongfully come into possession of Gould's trade secrets.  In addition, the court determined that it was not decisive that this joint venture was not consummated, since defendants' activity here was part of a continuing course of conduct which resulted in its obtaining the use of those trade secrets indirectly through a joint venture with Mitsui,A foreign state shall not be immune from the jurisdiction of courts of the United States or of the States in any case--

Moon Express, Inc. (MoonEx) announced with Space Florida today that it has signed an agreement to begin using the historic Space Launch Complex 36 (SLC-36) at Cape Canaveral for its lunar lander development and flight test operations.

SLC-36 is a launch complex at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Brevard County, Florida, that was used for Atlas launches from 1962 until 2005 with a total of 145 launches, including those that sent Surveyors to the Moon, Mariners to Mars and Pioneers to Jupiter, Saturn and beyond. The complex was decommissioned in 2007. In March 2010, the USAF 45th Space Wing issued Real Property Licenses to Space Florida for SLC-36 under a plan to make the facility available to commercial players.

Moon Express and Space Florida have signed an agreement thatfor reimbursement through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) matching funds program.

"This historic site, from which U.S. lunar exploration began, is beginning a new mission as a commercial facility that will help take us back to the Moon," said Space Florida President Frank DiBello. "We are proud to partner with Moon Express on the development of SLC-36 and a new generation of exploration technologies in Florida."

Moon Express plans to send a series of robotic spacecraft to the Moon for ongoing exploration and commercial development. The company has explained that its opportunity is driven by exponential advances in technology that have brought complex systems and missions within reach of private enterprise. Moon Express is pursuing a long-term vision of exploring and unlocking the value of lunar resources, while developing


innovative spacecraft designed to introduce new cost effective access to space beyond Earth orbit, including the Moon, the asteroids and the moon of Mars.

"We are honored to have an opportunity to establish permanent operations at Cape Canaveral SLC-36, at the place where the U.S. first went to the Moon," said Bob Richards, Moon Express co-founder and CEO. "The Moon is rising again in Florida thanks to the unequivocal support of Space Florida, NASA and the USAF 45th Space Wing in helping us create a home for manufacturing, integrating and testing our lunar lander test vehicles and spacecraft."

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. From Greek pillars and “Hope and Change” to this:

President Obama is now considered the worst U.S. president since World War II, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

The survey, which was conducted from June 24-30, found that 33 percent of registered voters believe Obama is the worst commander in chief since the defeat of the Axis Powers.

Surprisingly enough, Obama polled worse than former presidents George W. Bush, who earned 28 percent of the vote, and Richard Nixon, who polled at around 13 percent.

Former President Jimmy Carter received only 8 percent of the vote.

The survey found that voters give Obama poor marks across the board, a trend that can be seen in polls from just about every major research group.

The Quinnipiac pollto run the government.

No other candidate considered for the title of “worst president since World War II” polled worse than 3 percent.

On the other hand, when asked to rate the best president since World War II, a plurality of respondents chose Ronald Reagan, handing him 35 percent of the vote.

No other president considered for this category comes close: Bill Clinton comes in second with 18 percent of the vote, John Kennedy comes in third with 15 percent of the vote and way, way down the line, Obama comes in fourth with only 8 percent of the vote.

Every other post-World War II president came in with 5 percent of the vote or less.

For example, exactly 5 percent of survey respondents say Dwight Eisenhower was the best president since the


Second World War, while 4 percent said Harry Truman. Three percent of respondents said Lyndon Johnson and George H.W. Bush.

But here's the most interesting takeaway from the Quinnipiac University poll: A plurality of voters apparently regret the outcome of the 2012 presidential election.

Indeed, an impressive 45 percent of respondents actually said that the U.S. would be better off had former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the White House in 2012.

Only 38 percent of respondents disagreed with this.have enlisted the courts in their relentless anti-American crusade. It’s fine for justices to appear at a Koch-brothers-sponsored right-wing knees-up. But Sotomayor’s conduct is scandalous.

failed to reveal *267 any defect in the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly referred to as the air bag system.
In his affidavit, Neal set forth his qualifications as an expert on the Honda air bag system. In performance of his assignment, Neal stated that he made a visual inspection of the vehicle and examined pre-repair photographs of the vehicle. Neal opined that the damage to the car was the result of a minor front end collision and was of an "insufficient magnitude and duration to cause the air bag to deploy."
According to Neal, the subject driver side air bag "is controlled by sensors mounted under the dash of the occupant compartment" and the sensors "are designed to close and thereby cause deployment of the air bag in afrontal crash that generates a crash pulse of sufficient magnitude and duration to the passenger compartment[.]" Neal performed a "self-check" of the air bag system by following Honda's shop manual "trouble-shooting" procedure. In that process, he used a digital voltmeter and found the "voltage readings" of the system "to be within specifications." He did not deploy the air bag. Neal concluded that the air bag system had "performed as designed and intended and [wa]s not defective" and that it met "all Honda specifications."
Further, Neal maintained the seat belt webbing and "D ring"[3] would contain marks caused "when a seat belt locks up in a collision of sufficient force to mark these items." Based on the lack of such marks, Neal was of the opinion that either Plaintiff was


not wearing the seat belt or the accident was not serious.
Plaintiff filed a memorandum in opposition to the motion, arguing that genuine issues of material fact existed. In his attached affidavit, Plaintiff represented himself as an expert on air bag systems. Plaintiff stated he was "a professional licensed automobile mechanic for the past twenty years" and was certified by the "National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence." He listed his qualifications as follows:

I have repaired, evaluated, tested, and worked on many Honda automobiles. I have training and job experience with the mechanics, operation, diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of automobile air bag systems. I am personally familiar with how air bag systems operate and function. I have knowledge of the design and performance characteristics of the 1993 Honda Accord SEcert. denied, 493 U.S. 1073, 110 S.Ct. 1120, 107 L.Ed.2d 1027 (1990) ("Generally, the test for exclusion is a strict one, and the purported expert must have neither satisfactory knowledge, skill, experience, training, nor education[.]").

Illinois' long-arm statute, they transacted business in Illinois and its cause of action against them arose from that transaction of business. Specifically, Conagra asserts that James Lee transacted business in Illinois when he came here in July 1984 for two days to negotiate his acquisition of a 50% interest in Seco "with representatives of Seco, Union Bank of Streator, Illinois, and Heller Financial Company in Chicago, Illinois." In view of our disposition of this appeal, we need not decide whether the acts of James Lee while in Illinois in July 1984 constituted the transaction of business such as to subject him to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of Illinois.

College, comes from an average middle-class Patidar family from Viramgam, near Ahmedabad. His father, Bharatbhai, is engaged in farming too.

Hardik’s rise has baffled everyone, especially the political establishment led by chief minister Anandiben Patel. He was a member of the Sardar Patel Group (SPG), a leading Patidar youth body, and was president of its Viramgam unit. But Hardik was ousted from the post because the leader of the SPG, Lalji Patel, was not amenable to the idea of Hardik promoting his PAAS. Formed only in July, PAAS has shaken social and political stability of Gujarat by becoming the uniting force for Patels, so far the bedrock of support to the BJP.

Following his parting with the SPG, Hardik concentrated on building up PAAS even as SPG leaders lodged anFIR against him, alleging that he had failed to return Rs 2 lakh he owed to the group. Hardik claims that the FIR had been filed at the behest of the state government. Old photographs of him with VHP strongman Pravin Togadia are also fuelling the rumour mill about the mysterious source of his strength.

The turf war between Patel factions swung Hardik's way on August 17 after the success of a rousing rally orchestrated by him in Surat which drew an estimated half a million Patels on to the streets of Diamond City. The SPG announced publicly that it shared a common purpose with PAAS.

The flourish has proved tricky for him too. Recently, a controversy broke out with the emergence of a video clip showing a montage of


fiery images — including those with Hardik holding guns. In that video, shared widely on social media, a provocative commentary runs in the background. Hardik, though, says that the audio comprises just lyrics of popular Bollywood song.

The government wants to hold talks with him but he is clear that talks are possible only after chief minister Anandiben Patel announces OBC reservation for his community. There is a scare among BJP’s Patel leaders as his group is threatening to picket BJP leaders till they pledge support to the reservation demand.

Hardik feels that Patidars are losing in the development race because of the present reservation regime. He said, “A Patidar student with 90% marks does not get admission in an MBBS course, while SC/ST or OBC students get it withBreaking News

Currently, Buffett makes most of the investment decisions at Berkshire in consultation with Berkshire’s vice chairman, Charlie Munger. The only exception to that is at one of Berkshire’s insurers, Geico, where Lou Simpson ran investments, but Simpson is retiring at the end of this year.

Buffett told Fortune magazine that Munger had introduced him to Combs.

Buffett told the magazine that Combs grew up in Florida and graduated from Florida State University in 1993. He worked for the Florida comptroller and then Progressive Insurance before joining Castle Point in 2005.

Unlike other candidates in the poll fray, Dr Heena Gavit did not head to the counting centre on the day of the electoral verdict. A post-graduate student of Grant Medical College, the 26-year-old BJP candidate from Nandurbar was busy appearing for her MD exam.

By the end of the day, she emerged as one of the BJP’s giant killers, defeating Congress veteran Manikrao Gavit, 80, who has been representing the Nandurbar tribal seat since 1967, by a margin of over 1 lakh votes.

“This election is a dream come true for me as I have many dreams for Nandurbar. The Congress MP who was elected many times has lost touch with the common man and has done no development in the region. I want to bring development, better medical facilitiesand progress here,” said Heena, daughter of former state minister Dr Vijaykumar Gavit.

On the decision to join the BJP and the tribal population’s apparent acceptance of the party, she said tribals who migrate to Gujarat have seen for themselves the development in the state. “People wanted a change, and bouyed by the first-hand experience of development there, they voted for me,” she said.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, senior Congress leaders said Vijayrao’s image as a man of the masses played an important role in ensuring his daughter’s victory. On the other hand, Manikrao, who was seen as the face of the tribal constituency and tribal politics in the state, seemed to have lost his connect with the people, said political observers.

they're actually pretty easy to figure out. Here are some of the more recognisable characters you'll find floating in the milk of cycling:

The Roadie

Because road cycling is steeped in tradition (and occasionally garnished with attitude), every single aspect of road cycling – from clothing choice to equipment choice to hand signals to which way to pull off the front of a paceline – is governed by rules. And like all rules, some of them have evolved out of necessity, and some of them are simply tradition for tradition's sake.

The negative view of the Roadie is that he or she is fastidious, snotty and aloof. On the other hand, the romantic view is that Roadies are the toughest of all cyclists and that their careful preparation and studied appearanceCaptains from polishing their helmet mirrors, combing their beards, packing a day's worth of supplies in their bum bags, and taking to the roads.

Why other cyclists don't like them: Their vehicles are confusing and frightening.

Compatibility with other cyclists: Themselves. Will also join charity rides and deign to ride among "uprights".

resistance R103. Therefore, the voltage drop of the resistance R103 increases as the output current iout increases. When the voltage drop surpasses the threshold voltage of a PMOS transistor M103, the PMOS transistor M103 is turned on and reduces the decrease of the gate voltage of the output transistor M101, thereby restricting the output current iout.
The short circuit restriction circuit 103 includes an operating amplifier circuit A102, PMOS transistors M111 and M112 and a resistance R104.
When the output current restriction circuit 102 starts operating, the output voltage Vout decreases, and a voltage Va at the connection of the resistances R101 and R102 is equal to the voltage drop of the resistance R103, the output voltage from the operating amplifying circuit A102 decreases, resulting in the decrease of theit through all the games that came after.

Riptide GP, which was released on mobile platforms in 2011, was originally conceived as a spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder Hurricane, a fast-paced water racing game with dynamic, interactive waves, big jumps, and arcade action. But where Hydro Thunder emphasized powerups and shortcuts, the Riptide GP series focused more on the driver character, on pulling off stunts and learning when to take a risk to earn a little bit of extra boost.

Riptide GP: Renegade was designed from the start for consoles and PCs, and we knew we wanted to turn the action up to the next level. During the design process we went back and looked at Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and we decided to incorporate more of the over-the-top, ridonkulous spectacle


that we loved about that game.

We created race tracks with secret shortcuts, and added massive set pieces for you to race through like military bases, burning forest fires, and flying mining platforms. We added in gigantic jumps off huge waterfalls and buildings, and brought back the idea of animated, transforming vehicles. And on top of that we added a whole story mode, a ton of unlockable characters, a stunt skill tree, and upgrade systems for characters and hydrojets. (We even added a secret big head mode for fans of classic console racers!)

And naturally being a console racer, the game features single player modes, ghost racing (Challenge Mode), online multiplayer with up to 8 players, and -- one of the most popular features from the Hydro Thunder series --President Trump doubled down on his criticism of the British ambassador to Washington D.C. Tuesday and the British government supporting him, revealing he’s been told the foreign office’s Sir Kim Darroch is a “pompous fool” while again hitting out at Westminster for having failed to deliver on the promise of the 2016 Brexit referendum.

The remarks follow a leak to the British media of confidential messages sent to London by the UK ambassador to the U.S., Sir Kim Darroch, who called President Trump’s leadership “dysfunctional”, “clumsy”, and “incompetent”. The comments were meant to be seen by senior British politicians and members of the civil service only, but they were published in a British newspaper at the weekend, prompting strong responses from both sides of the Atlantic.

President Trump wrote Tuesday


of the “wacky”, “pompous fool” ambassador at the centre, but also focused on the failure of the British government to deliver on the will of the British people. Prime Minister Theresa May and others have stood behind Darroch during the controversy, with a spokesman saying the Prime Minister has “full faith” in the controversial diplomat.

Winter took over April in Minnesota this year, leaving snow and ice-covered lakes deep into the month, even in the Twin Cities. The cold delayed hiring across a broad range of industries, including construction, landscaping, municipal parks and pools, resorts, restaurants and fishing.

Hiring returned for those businesses in May, according to figures released Thursday by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The state’s largest monthly gain came in leisure and hospitality, which added 2,900 jobs.

Stout
Belgian stouts subdivide into sweeter and drier, and stronger and weaker versions.
Examples include Callewaerts and Ellezelloise Hercule. The sweeter versions resemble the almost-defunct British style "milk stout", while the stronger ones are sometimes described as Imperial stouts.

Champagne beers
Champagne style beers are generally ales that are finished "à la méthode originale" for champagne. Examples include Grottenbier, DeuS and . They receive a second fermentation much like Champagne does and are stored for several months "sûr lie" while the fermentation lasts. This creates the smaller, softer bubbles that we know from Champagne, but maintains the beer flavour and style.

Quadrupel or Grand Cru

In Belgium "Grand Cru" is more often used than "Quadrupel", these beers are a mostly a blend of brews, which is often refermented as a blend.

Ferrara named new Sampdoria coach

Italy Under-21 coach Ciro Ferrara will be the new Sampdoria manager next season, the Serie A club said on Monday.

Speculation had grown in the Italian media that Ferrara, a former Napoli and Juventus defender, was favourite to take the job after former Liverpool and Inter Milan coach Rafa Benitez turned down an offer from the newly promoted Genoa club.

"The news has been in the air for hours, and now it is official: Ciro Ferrara will be the new coach of Sampdoria," the club announced on their official website.

"The agreement with the coach will be ratified over the next few days."

Capped 49 times for Italy, Ferrara won the Serie A title seven times as player, twice with Napoli and five times with Juventus, where healso won the Champions League.

Having been part of the technical staff for the Italian national team, he endured a tough time in charge of Juventus and was sacked after less than a season in charge in 2010.

Since then, he's enjoyed an impressive run with the Italy Under-21 side, unbeaten in qualifiers for the 2013 European Under-21 Championship.

Ferrara, 45, will replace Giuseppe Iachini, who arrived at the club in November 2011 and led them back up to Serie A after one season, via the play-offs.

This case concerns the proper scope of federal and state regulation of employment relationships.  The issues arise from layoffs of steel workers which occurred in 1982 at the Weirton Division of the National Steel Corporation in West Virginia.  The plaintiffs are former union members who accepted management positions after National Steel allegedly made them promises of job security, including the right to return to their former positions in bargaining units.  They maintain that   Id.  Finally, as mentioned earlier, the court's review of National's past practices revealed that company time had indeed played a major role in determining management layoffs in the late 1970s.  Plaintiffs have made no showing of any misrepresentations that would support their claims of actual fraud in Count Six and therefore these claims are properly dismissed.

Leroy Steward's legally adopted son, Terrence Steward, is not entitled to child's insurance benefits under Section 202(d) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 402(d). The matter is before this Court on cross-motions for summary judgment.
The facts in the case are not in dispute. As set forth by the Hearing Examiner (Tr. pp. 7-9), they are as follows:
"Mr. Leroy Steward testified that he is 69 years of age; that he had an 8th grade education and enjoys reading; that he has lived at his current address since October 1963. His first wife died in 1962. He remarried in 1963. His spouse is living with him. They have no children. She is a high school graduate. He has a daughter whom he adopted when she was a babyand who lived with him and his first wife. On April 3, 1959 she gave birth to Terrence. She brought him home from the hospital and continued to live with the wage earner for about a year after her son's birth. At that time she married and moved, leaving Terrence with the wage earner. She has three children by this marriage. She did not provide for Terrence while she still lived with the wage earner, nor has she provided for him since that time.
"In December 1964 Mr. Steward applied for retirement insurance benefits under the Social Security Act. He was an employee of the Detroit sanitation department at the time. He retired on March 1, 1965. While applying for these benefits he told employees of the District Office


of the Social Security Administration about Terrence and said that he would like to obtain benefits for him. He was told that he could obtain such benefits if he adopted the boy. He did nothing about this until in 1966 when he visited the Wayne County Juvenile Court and stated that he wanted to adopt Terrence. The matter was discussed with Terrence's mother and she consented to the adoption. She later signed papers at the Social Security District Office confirming her consent. The necessary petition for adoption was filed. Some time later Mr. Steward revisited the adoption section of the Juvenile Court and was told that the adoption proceedings would take some time. He felt, however, that since he was Terrence's grandfather the adoption would be approved. Hetherefore did not follow up on his petition and just waited. Finally, on July 17, 1967, the Order of Adoption was entered. He received a copy of the order a few days later.
"On examination by counsel Mr. Steward said that he has been Terrence's sole support since his birth. He has fed and clothed him and paid all his expenses. He is attending school and the school authorities consider the wage earner his parent. Mr. Steward signs all his report cards. He treats him as his son and has always wanted to inherit from him as a natural son would. For many years he has shown him to be his son on income tax returns.
"At the time of filing his application for retirement insurance benefits he was not


told by anyone at the Social Security office that adoption of Terrence would have to be effected within 24 months after the month in which he became entitled to retirement benefits. He did not learn of this condition until he had received the adoption order, entered July 17, 1967,30 months after the wage earner became entitled to retirement insurance benefits on January 1, 1965. Had he known of this requirement he would have adopted Terrence much sooner than he did. He had thought about adopting the lad prior to the death of his first wife but she had been ailing about 2 years before her death and therefore he was unable to get out to see about the adoption. On remarrying in 1963 he discussed the matter ofadopting Terrence with his second wife and they decided to proceed with adoption.
"Terrence's mother, Mr. Steward said, had always told him that Terrence was his. Terrence did not want to be with her anyway. He preferred living with the wage earner.
"The documentary record contains a Statement by the wage earner's daughter, (Exhibit 13, dated December 11, 1968), *824 that she is Terrence's natural mother; that formal consent to give up the child (for adoption) was given in April 1966; that she signed all the necessary papers in Juvenile Court; that she gave up Terrence completely as soon as he was born; that she would have given her (formal) consent in January 1966 but was sick and in the hospital; that he (sic) father from the beginning promised to


care for Terrence until he was grown.
"In his Statement dated December 11, 1968, (Exhibit 13), Mr. Steward stated that his first wife died November 29, 1962; that he continued to care for the child and remarried in October 1963. He and his present wife decided that to protect the rights of the child they should adopt him. It was actually after he retired that he had sufficient time to proceed with the adoption. He had adopted the child in his own mind from his birth.
"In an earlier Statement dated February 29, 1968 (Exhibit 8), Mr. Steward stated that when his first wife died he remarried about October 1963 and that his second wife thought they should adopt Terrence; that adoption proceedings were started in about June 1966; thatCounty Superintendent of the poor. The child was supported entirely by the deceased, and treated as a son. He was 22 years old when the deceased died and had not only rendered "filial affection" to the deceased but had labored on the deceased's farm "with the belief that . . . he would inherit". These factors gave rise to a contract which was treated by the Wright court as a contract that the child would inherit rather than a contract to adopt. 99 Mich. at 175, 58 N.W. at 55. In Roberts v.

The genius they call El Loco has steered his team to the top of the Championship, and breathed new confidence into the city

We are fast approaching the 60th anniversary of the publication of Billy Liar. Or, as some of us like to call it, the Book of Leeds. In Keith Waterhouse’s classic novel, the underachieving anti-hero fantasises about living the dream but ends up sabotaging his own chance of happiness, abandoning Liz, his girlfriend, played by Julie Christie in the film.

We are also fast approaching the centenary of Leeds United. For most of its 100 years, the club – like the city – has been a byword for underachievement. Indeed, ever since their overspending chairman Peter Ridsdale triggered an infamous meltdown in 2004, “doing a Leeds” has becomesynonymous with living the nightmare.

There was the great Don Revie team of the 1970s, and Howard Wilkinson’s side won the title in 1992. But for the last 26 years, apart from promotion from the third tier, the Whites have languished in the wilderness.

Billy Liar, Waterhouse revealed, was his Leeds novel. In 1959 he wrote: “The city was stirring out of its pre-war, post-Edwardian sleep. There was a civic restlessness about, a growing clamour for clearing away the old.” In the following six decades there have been several failed attempts at reinvention. But now a messiah has finally arrived to give us self-belief. To convince us that, unlike Billy, we can catch the train to the promised land and marry Ms Christie.

Most people mistakenly assume David Peace’s The Damned Utd is the Book of Leeds. This is a great novel, but its thesis – that Revie’s “brutes” reflected a flaw within the psyche of the city – is itself flawed. As the messiah, also known as Marcelo Bielsa, is currently demonstrating.

Since being relegated from the Premier League 14 years ago, the club has lurched from financial disaster to despair, tumbling down the divisions, going into administration and selling their best young players. At the same time the city, trying to rebrand itself as the “Barcelona of the north”, has seen its own fantasies – the “northern powerhouse”, HS2, the European city of culture – crumble into dust.

Appointed only seven months ago by chairman Andrea Radrizzani,Bielsa has changed everything. He has transformed Leeds from a laughing stock into Championship leaders, despite Saturday’s home defeat. He has moulded the team in his image. He has turned our world upside down. All while sitting emotionless on an upturned blue bucket.

Under the cerebral 63-year-old’s guidance, Leeds are playing a brand of exhilarating football admired by Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane. All three have been mentored by Bielsa. To Guardiola, who once flew to Buenos Aires and drove 185 miles to talk to his guru, he is “the best coach in the world”. Pochettino, who was signed by Bielsa as a teenager in Argentina, revealed that the then-Newell’s Old Boys coach visited his home to inspect his legs as he slept. This last story is


one of many confirming the myth of El Loco, the crazy one. On arrival at Elland Road, he immediately ordered his stars to collect litter from the pitches. Players are weighed every morning and regularly put in 12-hour shifts. They are sometimes prevented from returning home at night. He has installed a bed at the training ground and often sleeps over at Thorp Arch.

At Athletic Bilbao, he once visited a convent and asked nuns to pray for his team. He has banned his own assistants from games because they underperformed in training. Asked if Bielsa really is as mad as people say, an Athletic striker replied: “No. He’s madder.”

They sing his name to the tune of the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army and, most recently, a group of supporters released Bielsa’s Rhapsody, a magnificent adaptation of the Queen ditty.

Sign up to The Recap, our weekly email of editors’ picks.

Bielsa has created a new mindset, a new way of playing the game, a new attitude not just to football but to life itself. He has brought a bitterly divided city together. In trying to find a post-industrial role, Leeds emerged as the biggest legal and financial centre outside London. But it also became a two-nation city, polarised between affluence and


squalor. In the EU referendum, Remain just edged ahead with 50.3% while 49.7% voted to leave.

So we love him for making us a community again. In his unflashy way he has played a huge part in the revival of a great city. Indeed he has been a breath of fresh air for football as a whole. In an ever-swelling economy – mind-blowing TV contracts, rocketing ticket prices, disconnection with traditional communities – he has helped to restore the soul of the Beautiful Game.

In 2019 an underachieving club, and city, will hopefully be finally delivered from the wilderness. Leeds United will return to the promised land and be an antidote to the vanity, selfishness and greed of the money-obsessed Premier League.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?Players accounted for 47,000 all-purpose yards, 588 tackles and 211 TDs in 2014

Louisville, KY. — Monday, July 6, 2015 — The Louisville Sports Commission today named 44 multi-talented college football players to the 2015 Watch List for the Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse.

The Paul Hornung Award, now in its sixth season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung, the Golden Boy. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award Banquet presented by KentuckyOne Health, to be held at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville in February 2016.

The 2015 Watch List was compiled by a panel of college football experts based on


a combination of 2014 statistics, career performance, SID recommendations and expectations heading into the 2015 season. Profiles of each player and information about the Award can be found at www.paulhornungaward.com. Players may be added to the Watch List during the 2015 regular season based on performance.

The Paul Hornung Award Watch List contains 18 of the top 100 all-purpose players from 2014 according to yards-per-game average from ncaa.com. The Watch List also includes four players who participated in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game: Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson from Ohio State, and Byron Marshall and Charles Nelson from Oregon.

“I’m ecstatic that the Paul Hornung Award has gained national prominence in such a short time,” said Paul Hornung, the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner who played every position inthe offensive backfield during his Notre Dame career and was a triple threat halfback for the title town Green Bay Packers of the early 1960s. “The quality of our winners, finalists and weekly honorees has been impressive, and I’m pleased that we are able to acknowledge outstanding players who contribute any way possible to help their teams win, the way I did with Notre Dame and the Green Bay Packers.”

“I look forward to following the players on our Watch List during the upcoming season and enjoy watching many of our winners and finalists from the first five years as they make their marks in the NFL,” continued Hornung who maintains an office in downtown Louisville and continues making appearances and public speaking. Hornung won the Heisman Trophy as


a quarterback and earned NFL MVP honors for the Green Bay Packers in 1961, setting a single-season NFL scoring record rushing, receiving, passing and kicking that stood 46 years. He is a member of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, and Vince Lombardi once called him, “The most versatile man ever to play the game.”

The Watch List is comprised of 11 seniors, 22 juniors and 11 sophomores who start at a total of eight different positions and represent 40 universities and all 10 conferences that are part of the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The Pac-12 leads the conferences with eight players followed by the ACC and Big Ten with seven players and the SEC with six players.

The Louisville Sports Commission successfully launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son, and to promote outstanding performances by versatile college football players who often go unnoticed. Owen Marecic of Stanford, a two-way starter and All Pac-10 performer at fullback and linebacker, won the inaugural Paul Hornung Award in 2010; Brandon Boykin of Georgia won the award in 2011 after excelling on defense, offense and special teams; Tavon Austin of West Virginia won the award in 2012 as one of two players in the nation with more than 500 yards in three different categories (rushing,


receiving and kick returns); Odell Beckham Jr. of LSU won the award in 2013 after finishing the season ranked second in the nation and first in the Southeastern Conference with 2,222 all-purpose yards and 185.2 average yards per game; and Shaq Thompson of Washington won the award in 2014 as a two-way player, earning first team All-America honors at linebacker and finishing as the Husky’s second-leading rusher at tailback. Thompson scored six touchdowns – two on offense and four on defense.

Past winners and finalists who have made their mark in the NFL or are beginning their careers in 2015 include: Boykin (Philadelphia Eagles), Austin (St. Louis), Beckham Jr. (New York Giants), Thompson (Carolina), Kentucky’s Randall Cobb (Green Bay), Oregon’s LaMichael James (Miami), TCU’s Jeremy Kerley (New York Jets),On June 16, 1911, the Tabulating Machine Company, Computing Scale Company of America and International Time Recording Company merged to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company later known as IBM. Its technologies included industrial time clocks, electronic tabulating machines, and commercial scales.

One hundred years later, International Business Machines has been the most successfully technology company in the world having earned more than 75,000 U.S. patents, spending more than $150 billion on research, and employing five Nobel lauriets.

In 1914, CTR made its biggest move hiring Thomas R. Watson as its president. Watson led the company through three major wars, the Great Depression, and the beginning of the Cold War. He helped the company double revenues to $9 million in his first four years and led its global expansion at a time


when the country was isolationist.

Watson is probably best known for his motto at IBM: THINK. Here's his explanation:

"And we must study through reading, listening, discussing, observing and thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of study. The trouble with most of us is that we fall down on the latter -- thinking -- because it's hard work for people to think, And, as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler said recently, 'all of the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.' "

One of IBM's first products was the Electronic Tabulating System, a mechanical tabulator based on punched cards which was invented by Herman Hollerith in the 1890s. His Tabulating Machine Company became part of CTR in 1911.

This computing scalewas invented in 1885 and became a key component in CTR. The company also produced bacon slicers, meat choppers, coffee mills, and retail scales. Interesting name for IBM as it's a scale not a computer.

The Computing Scale Company of America joined CTR in 1911.

The industrial revolution was going on in full force at the beginning of the 20th century. One of the first IBM products was a time clock which had workers dial their employee number and then push a lever to record their arrival/departure on a roll of paper.

In 1924, the company officially changed its name to International Business Machines. It was bolstered at this time by the invention of the Carroll Rotary Card Press that doubled the manufacturing capticity for punch cards - 1,000


cards in 60 seconds - resulting in profits of about $1 per minute of operation.

In the 1930s while the U.S. suffered through the Great Depression, IBM prospered. One of its biggest achievements was helping organize the Social Security Administration which was formed in 1935. It used its army of key punch machines to keep track of tax payments coming from 27 million workers. It showed that a company can help business and government manage itself with the assistance of technology.

Watson pushed IBM's strong allegiance to education and research with the creation in 1932 of a major division for engineering, research and development. He also created the IBM Schoolhouse above in 1933 for education and training of staff. (The motto is on the steps.)

During World War II, IBM andHarvard University developed the the first automatic digital calculator in the U.S. called the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator or Mark 1. It was 58-feet long and 8-feet high. It could add, subtract, multipy and divide numbers up to 23 digits long.

IBM charged ahead in the computing industry in the 1950s with the IBM 701 which operated from vacuum tubes instead of switches used in its earlier computers. This led to the use of computers in business applications. Transistors replaced the vacuum tubes in 1959 with the IBM 7090 mainframe being of one the first.

Here is Thomas Watson at the desk of an IBM 701.

IBM made a splash in 1957 with the introduction of FORTRAN, a computer language based on algebra, grammar and syntax rules.

In 1956, Thomas Watson, Jr.
