In additionand a presumptive bedside diagnosis maybe made at the time of presentation. It classically presents with the triad of mid-thoracic pain, sentinel arterial hemorrhage, and exsanguination after a symptom-free interval (Chiari\'s triad). Usually the identification of massive upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage that is bright red and arterial in nature is characteristic. There have been few reports of survivors.

**CASE:**

We present two interesting cases that presented with sudden onset of massive hematemesis, without any apparent underlying cause. After initial volume resuscitation, upper GI endoscopy was performed. The first patient had an opening in the posterior wall of lower third of oesophagus. CECT revealed erosion of the pouch into the aorta. The second patient had a large, depressed ulcer and a diverticulum in the middle third of oesophagus. CECT revealed a saccular


done by Dr.William Glenn in which, the Superior Venacave is anastomosed to Right Pulmonary Artery where the deoxygenated blood from Head is bi-directionally routed to the lungs through the right and left pulmonary arteries.

**CASE:**

A 2 year old male child was admitted with a history of congenital cyanotic heart disease. He was diagnosed to have Dextrocardia, DORV with VSD with L-TGA with Pulmonary stenosis with OS ASD. He had a room air saturation of 74 %. It was decided to perform a bidirectional glenn shunt for him. On the day of surgery an echo revealed presence of Left Superior Vena cava, which was not revealed in Cardiac CT angiography done earlier. Left side Glenn shunt was done off pump and right sided shunt was done on pump. Post procedureof a pseudoaneurysm.

**CASE SCENARIO:**

A 65 year old male presented with one day history of breathlessness and chest discomfort. He had inferopostero-lateral wall myocardial infarction 6 months back which was managed with deployment of Evorolimus eluting stent in the occluded major obtuse marginal branch. His echo revealed hypokinesia of inferopostero lateral wall and fair left ventricular systolic function. Post procedure he was stable and discharged. He had a symptom free period of 6 months. During the present admission, his echo showed regional wall motion abnormality of the posterolateral wall with a 2.5 cm defect in the mid posterolateral segment with pseudoaneurysm and mild left ventricular dysfunction. He was taken up for surgical repair. On table,there was a 7x5 cm pseudoaneurysm in the LV posterolateral wall with normal contraction of


46 year old male with history of angioplasty and stenting to right coronary artery two weeks prior to admission, presenting with history of fever of 10 days and chest pain of 7 days duration. Blood culture grew Pseudomonas species . A coronary angiogram revealed aneurysm of the right coronary artery. He was treated with appropriate antibiotics for a week and was taken up for surgery. Resection of the aneurysm with debridement and explantation of the stent was done. RCA was suture lighted proximally and distally. RCA was bypassed using saphenous vein grafts along with other target arteries. He recovered well and was discharged on 5th postoperative day. He was treated with sensitive antibiotics for 6 weeks similar to infective endocarditis.

**CONCLUSION:**

Coronary artery aneurysms following percutaneous coronary intervention needs thoroughdecided to undertake surgery after review of literature and experience of author in one of the visiting centres.

Out of the two cases-21 year old Male patient had acute on chronic presentation.He had severe Tricuspid regurgitation and severe PAH with RV dysfunction.

2nd Patient 39 years female patient had chronic PTE.She had history of DVT and IVC filter insertion in another hospital.She was severlel symptomatic.

In both cases CT pulmonary angiogram was done and taken up for surgery.In both cases pulmonary thromboembolectomy was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass using short period of profound hypothermic ciculatory arrest.Both cases recovered well.

In 1 st case PAH came down in the span of 2 months.In the 2nd case it took almost one year for regression of PAH.

with our short experience we came to conclsion that pulmonary


reversible cardiomyopathy(7-10days). We present our experience with a patient who had sepsis, cardiomyopathy supported on VA-ECMO successfully to recovery.

**CASE REPORT:**

A 52-year old gentleman was brought with hypotension. He had a short history of illness started on antibiotics, deteriorated rapidly, suffered a cardiac arrest and was revived in a neighbouringhospital. Initial evaluation showed moderate ventriculardysfunction. He was started on inotropes; cultures were sent as part ofthe investigations.

Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries. He required escalating doses of inotropes and was soon on maximal doses of multiple inotropes, was intubated. His ventricular function dropped to an LVEF of 15% and was in severe shock. Hence it was decided to support him on ECMO.

VA ECMO was established with femoral arterial cannulation through a 8mm dacron tube graft anastomosed end-to-side to theradiation followed by surgery. The second case was found in a series of 107 cases from Tata Memorial Hospital in Bombay, India. The third case was reported in a large study of 11,087 bone tumors in the Dahlin tumour series at the Mayo Clinic. The last case was reported in the most recent report from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center describing their experience with primary and secondary malignancies of the sternum over 69-year period.

**CASE:**

A 26 yr.-old female presented with Ewing's sarcoma of the sternum which extended into the anterior mediastinum. At presentation, there was no evidence of metastatic disease. The patient was initially treated with chemotherapy. The tumour was subsequently resected and the sternal reconstruction was done with titanium plate and fibula free osteo-cutaneous flap. Post-operative course was


glottis, and air tracks along the bronchoalveolar fascial planes to reach the mediastinum.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum, presents as a triad of chest pain, breathlessness and subcutaneous emphysema.

**CASE REPORT:**

A healthy, 6 year old girl was playing with her elder brother in a dark room, suddenly got scared seeing him acting like a ghost. Panicked, she ran out of the room with a loud cry, then brought by her parents to emergency room with complaints of breathlessness, mild central chest pain and swollen neck . Clinically there was subcutaneous emphysema over the neck and radiological examination showed specific named signs characterstic of spontaneous pneumomediastinum in paediatric patients, confirmed with plain CT Thorax.

She was conservatively managed with observation and discharged stable on the same day. Follow up with chest x ray after onebiopsy followed by immunohistochemistry suggestive of very rare type of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma of biphasic type. Subsequently due to repeated hemoptysis and as a possible measure of palliation, right middle lobectomy and wedge resection of right lower lobe done.

The resected specimen sent for histopathological study which revealed dead calcified necrotic area in the lung parenchyma as a result of irreversible vascular compromise owing to lodgement of dead dirofilariasis parasite in interlobar arteriole, with its typical chitinous wall which was confirmed by staining. Repeat immunohistochemistry of resected specimen and revaluation of pre operative IHc slides revealed no malignancy but a very unusual case of pulmonary necrosis followed by calcification of parenchyma due to infarction caused by presence of Dirofilariasis parasite. The patient'was discharged on 7th postoperative day uneventfully.

Another official said Australia needed to be more active in the region and cooperate more with liberal democratic partners to promote a rules-based order, multilateral free trade and ensure the peaceful settlement of disputes.

"We shouldn't be ignoring the rise of India as a key strategic partner."

Australia's former Ambassador to China Geoff Raby warned in Tuesday's The Australian Financial Review the QSD would be counterproductive.

"Recognising that Australia is more dependent economically on China than any of the others, and by a big margin, it is curious why Australia would want to join a group which China sees as hostile to its interests," he said.

"It may seem preposterous in Canberra, but Beijing does in fact feel threatened by the United States. Japan's invasion and occupation of China is still inliving memory. And China has a long-standing military conflict with India over disputed borders."

But officials said Australia saw the QSD, which embraces the rapidly emerging India, as an important counter to China's military influence and her territorial ambitions in the South China Sea.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull started laying the groundwork in June in Singapore when he delivered the keynote speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.

"The gathering clouds of uncertainty and instability are signals for all of us to play more active roles in protecting and shaping the future of this region," he said.

"I believe that the Indo-Pacific, as the most dynamic region, is well-placed economically, strategically, and culturally to shape and drive the global response."

Mr Turnbull emphasised the need for a rules-based order and "a neighbourhood that


is defined by open markets and the free flow of goods, services, capital and ideas".

"Where freedom of navigation goes unchallenged and the rights of small states are untrammelled," he said.

Mr Turnbull leaves Thursday for Da Nang, Vietnam, for the two-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (summit) where trade will be is main focus. On the sidelines, Australia is expected to seal a free trade deal with Peru and will meet with 10 other nations to revive the Trans-Pacific Partnership minus the US which withdrew when Donald Trump become president.

From there, Mr Turnbull will make a lightning visit to Hong Kong to finalise free trade negotiations as well as discuss anti-money laundering techniques to try and curtail North Korea. In Manila, the theme will be security with a heavy focus o12:27 says that the substance—the wealth—of a diligent man is precious, meaning that it is worth all the more to him because of the conscientious effort he has put into it.

In short, the psalmist is proclaiming that the death of a saint is precious to God because the saints are the objects of His attention, because they are rare (Matthew 22:14), and because He is putting so much effort into them at this time—far more than those with whom He is not yet working. He is investing Himself in His saints, and thus the death of each one brings with it the combined weight of all God has poured in and the choices of the individual in either responding to or rejecting Him.

the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (II Timothy 4:6-8)

Notice that Paul could only make these summary remarks about himself. He was in no position to judge when somebody else's race was complete, or whether God was finished using another man for the accomplishment of His will. Paul did not deign to assume that he knew when God's workmanship was complete in another person. Instead, he learned the lesson of Jesus Christ's mild rebuke when the manner of Peter's death was predicted, and Peter became concerned about the end of another servant of God:

Peter, seeingdoes not say that he shone in the darkness, or that he will shine in the darkness eventually. It tells us that he SHINES in the darkness.

Jesus overcame darkness and death in the Resurrection. He is still winning NOW, even when things may seem so dark. He will win in the end, at his final coming. He shines in the darkness.

It’s easy to look around and to feel so discouraged by all of the evil in the world. While the world is indeed filled with brokenness, God graciously holds back the amount of evil that could unfold. His light still pierces through the darkness. And one day, Jesus will return to conquer injustice, evil, and death once and for all. Hallelujah.

A project to boost the population of golden eagles in southern Scotland has reached a "fantastic milestone".

Organisers said more than 10,000 people had now been involved in a range of initiatives linked to the scheme.

However, the project team said the support of so many people had a "vital role" to play in building up golden eagle numbers in the area.

The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project (SSGEP) - at a secret location in the Moffat Hills - has seen young birds relocated to the region from the Highlands.

It has seen thousands of people take part in associated schemes.

Community outreach officer Philip Munro said: "It is fantastic to see so many people are so passionate about protecting this iconic species in the south of Scotland.

"We are absolutely delighted with the support, which plays an absolutely vital role in protecting golden eagles.

"We need to keep building on this so that we can ensure that we can see even more of these magnificent birds across the south of Scotland's skies for generations to come."

Francesca Osowska, Scottish Natural Heritage's chief executive, described the level of support achieved as a "fantastic milestone".

The scheme's work with Scottish Borders Scouts has also been praised by naturalist Steve Backshall in his role as Scouts ambassador.

He described it as an "amazing opportunity" for those involved.

"They will be playing a vital role in the continued protection of many unique and important species, such as Scotland's golden eagles," he said.Amour de poche

Muslims have demanded that Christian evangelist Franklin Graham be booted from yet another National Day of Prayer service, prompting officials with the National Day of Prayer Task Force to condemn as “ridiculous” the idea that religious leaders should be excluded from public events because of their faith statements.

The controversy began when the Army disinvited Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and
son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, from a prayer service at the Pentagon. Graham said his invitation to be
honorary chairman at the May 6 event was revoked after
Muslim members of the military complained about his description of
Islam after the 2001 terrorist attacks as “a very evil and wicked
religion.”

Muslim activists then announced they were trying to get him barred from
a National Day of Prayer event scheduled with memberstheir workspaces.

Today’s employers are focused on:

1. Transportation

A well-located workplace is a major selling point for attracting potential employees and retaining existing ones. Employers with a central location, easily accessible by public transportation, already have an advantage. For example, The Legacy Town Center office in Plano, Texas, boasts transit drop-off and pick-up at the building.

For environmentally minded employees who bike to work, secure bike storage is a real plus. The office tower at 201 Spear St. in San Francisco anticipates the needs of the area’s environmentally conscious workforce with bike storage and EV car charging stations, plus easy access to light rail.

Accenture Tower in Chicago sits above Ogilvie Transportation Center, one of the main suburban train stations connecting downtown Chicago to the suburbs, providing direct access to city trains,


PM Modi met Kapil Sharma and other Bollywood celebrities at an event in Mumbai.

In 2016, comedian Kapil Sharma kicked off a row when he tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in angst-ridden tweets complaining about corruption. Since then, the comedian-turned actor has come a long way in his admiration for the prime minister.

Kapil Sharma was among the many Bollywood celebrities to meet PM Modi at the inauguration of the National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) in Mumbai. Soon after the event, Mr Sharma tweeted: "Respected pm Sh @narendramodi ji,it was nice meeting u n great knowing ur inspiring ideas and progressive views about our film industry and our nation. N sir I must say u have a great sense of humor too! (sic)".

The prime minister responded to the tweet"the best damn barman from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine... and Portland Oregon for that matter". But Lloyd isn't real. He's just a figment of Jack Nicholson's imagination, an imagination living in a brain that has gone very, very wrong. After being cooped up for too long in a hotel, a hotel that doesn't even have Wi-Fi or rolling Sky Sports News, he goes completely hat-stand, chasing his wife around the place with an axe.

Come on, we've all done it.

3) Mean Streets

Mean Streets is the film that hailed Martin Scorsese a "made man" in the world of cinema. Filmed in muted colour and almost entirely with a handheld camera, it broke new ground in cinematography and boasts three great bar scenes.

came up with the idea of drinking cider over ice. It, quite literally, made cider cool again and was widely hailed as a marketing masterstroke at the time.

But it wasn't their idea. It was the boozy brainchild of Withnail (Richard E Grant - a teetotaller) in Withnail and I. From lighter fluid to "the finest wines available to humanity", this cult eighties classic is steeped in alcohol and even boasts its own drinking game where viewers (mostly students) matching Withnail drink for drink. We suggest replacing the lighter fluid with vinegar as they did in the film.

5) Apocalypse Now

In preparing for his role as a dying alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas, Nicholas Cage would film himself when he was drunk, study how he acted and talked, and replicateit while sober.

In preparing for his role as in Apocalypse Now, Martin Sheen didn't bother with all that. He just got drunk. A lot. In a rather dark place personally, Sheen was off his face for the entire filming of the iconic opening scene, in which he drinks a bottle of whisky, goes stir-crazy within the walls of a Saigon hotel room and lacerates his hand by smashing it through a mirror.

That last bit wasn't in the script but, hey, it was his birthday.

Months later, he had a heart attack and Apocalypse Now went on to win an Oscar.

Sadly, the actual scene is hard to find online but here, Sheen recalls the despair, the darkness and the drink that drove the scene.

made. Not least because it's pretty much the only true bartender film ever made. Featuring Tom Cruise as Brian Flanagan doing cheesy and cocky in a way that only he can, it inspired many to pick up a Boston Shaker - even though purists point out that Flanagan is perhaps the world's worst bartender.

Even now, over two decades later, anyone who so much as drops a bottle of booze is hailed as a wannabe Flanagan. While the film is brimming with killer/cheesy quotes, mostly from Dough Coughlin - the film's cocktail mentor played by Bryan Brown, the scene that melts the butter of nearly every bartender is Flanagan's impromptu recital of The Last Barman poet.

So bad, it's good.

But he first emerged on the film scene as the writer and star of Good Will Hunting. Directed by Gus Van Sant and starring co-writer Ben Affleck, it tells a tale of a Boston ne'erdowell who belies his unfortunate background by being a serious smartypants who can do algebra 'n' that.

Damon's beanbag-size brain first reveals itself when he puts a Harvard student upstart firmly in his place via the medium of long words and clever-clog sentences.

San Jose extended a streak of scoring two goals in a period to

Michal
Handzus opened the scoring by tipping a Brent Burns blast past Bachman 4:42

before pivoting toward the high slot and unleashing a shot from the blueline.

The Sharks impressive shutout streak came to an end 12:41 into the 2nd period

(REUTERS/Chris Keane)Well-known atheist and best-selling author Richard Dawkins signs a poster reading, "In the beginning, MAN created GOD" for Andrea Garber (C), 15, during the "Rock Beyond Belief" festival at Fort Bragg army base in North Carolina March 31, 2012. The atheist-themed festival drew hundreds of people to Fort Bragg for what was believed to be the first-ever event held on a U.S. military base for service members who do not have religious beliefs. Organizers said they hoped the "Rock Beyond Belief" event at Fort Bragg would spur equal treatment toward nonbelievers in the armed forces and help lift the stigma for approximately 295,000 active duty personnel who consider themselves atheist, agnostic or without a religious preference. Now, the Freedom from Religion Foundation is asking President Obama toattend a similar gathering to legitimize atheism.

MADISON, Wisc. (Christian Examiner) – On the heels of his speeches about faith, fear and religious freedom at a Baltimore mosque and the National Prayer Breakfast last week, President Obama has been offered an invitation to speak to a group decidedly less religious – in fact, the irreligious.

The leaders of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, a litigious Wisconsin-based atheist group, claims the president should speak up for religious "nones" because they've suffered in silence for far too long.

"We respectfully invite you, in your final year in office, to do something no American president has ever done: reach out to secular America," FFRF Co-Presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote in the letter.

"The Confederate Sketches of Adalbert Volck" features 20 etchings and lithographs selected by Portrait Gallery Historian James Barber, and drawn from the Portrait Gallery's collection.

WASHINGTON — Dr. Adalbert Volck led a most interesting life.

A trained dentist, Volck plied his profession in Baltimore during the mid-19th century.

But the good dentist also had some intriguing sidelines.

As a Southern loyalist during the Civil War, he operated a safe house for rebel soldiers and agents, smuggled medical supplies to the South, and even served as a personal courier for Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Above all, though, he loved to skewer President Abraham Lincoln in his artwork.

Volck's strong passion for the South and enmity toward all things Yankee come into sharp focus with a rare exhibition of his drawings at the Smithsonian Institution's NationalPortrait Gallery.

"The Confederate Sketches of Adalbert Volck" features 20 etchings and lithographs selected by Portrait Gallery Historian James Barber, and drawn from the Portrait Gallery's collection.

Born in Bavaria, Germany, on April 14, 1828, Volck emigrated to the United States in 1848 after he sided with revolutionaries during a failed revolt. He eventually settled in Baltimore and enrolled in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, where he earned his D.D.S. in 1852.

Volck sympathized with the Confederacy after Civil War erupted in 1861. A talented artist as well as proficient dentist, he brought his creative skills to bear for the Southern war effort.

Upset by how Northern illustrators derided the South in print, Volck launched a clandestine artistic counterattack, producing works for a limited number of subscribers under the alias "V.


Blada."

Volck chronicled several aspects of the rebel cause in his drawings.

But it was Lincoln who drew his particular attention and ire.

Volck instilled his derisive interpretation of "The Emancipation Proclamation" (1864) with deft symbolism. In the lithograph, Lincoln sits amid satanic motifs, including a small devil, drafting the document that freed slaves in the rebellious Southern states. His left foot rests upon a volume of the Constitution. On the nearby wall hang pictures of abolitionist John Brown, and one of wanton violence born from a slave uprising on Santo Domingo in the 1790s.

An adjacent etching, "The Knights of the Rueful Countenance" (1861), renders Lincoln in the guise of Don Quixote, the errant knight of Miguel de Cervantes' celebrated novel. A seated Lincoln ponders his penned list of Union battlefielddefeats, with one leg relaxed irreverently upon a stack of books entitled "Constitution," "Law" and "Habeas Corpus."

In "Passage Through Baltimore" (1863), Volck satirizes Lincoln's surreptitious rail journey to his first inauguration as it passed through the city in 1861. The president-elect peers out from inside a railroad boxcar, cowering between the car's doors as he looks for would-be assassins.

The war also found its way into Volck's art. Rather than dwell on large battles, he opted for more micro perspectives of the conflict.

"Scene in Stonewall Jackson's Camp" (1863) touches on Jackson's strong religious faith and leadership. The piece depicts a group of Confederate soldiers bowing their heads during a pious service, overseen by the general himself. Nearby, "Marylanders Crossing the Potomac to Join the Confederacy" (1864) portrays four men


secretly rowing across the river in a style that echoes Emanuel Leutze's famous 1851 painting, "Washington Crossing the Delaware."

Volck likewise created intimate views of wartime civilian life.

A Southern grandmother, mother and daughter appear in a domestic setting generating garments for Confederate use in "Making Cloths for the Boys in the Army" (1864). Beside it, "Searching for Arms" (1863) shows a pro-secessionist home in Baltimore being turned out by Union troops in search of weapons or any other household items that could aid the South.

"Cave Life in Vicksburg" (1864) presents a subdued scene of a woman praying inside a ramshackle earthen abode outfitted with furniture and family objects. The lithograph references the Union siege of Vicksburg, Miss., in 1863, during which time many of the town's residents took coverin caves dug into hillsides.

After the war, Volck resumed his dental practice. In addition, he expanded his artistic interests with painting and sculpture, and became a prominent figure in Baltimore's cultural circles. He died in 1912.

"The Confederate Sketches of Adalbert Volck" remains on display through Jan. 21.

Mr Niblock alleged the authority continually failed to clear rubbish from the route, and believed that mirrored failings elsewhere in the region.

A number of people gave evidence during the hearing, at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, including Mr Niblock and Philip McKay, the council’s head of roads.

The court heard that Mr Niblock had been campaigning for the council to address the perceived problem for eight years.

He presented 24 different photographs during the hearing, which he claimed showed litter and rubbish piled up along the route, along with overgrown foliage covering adjacent footpaths.

There was also pictures of animal carcasses, a fox and a badger, left on the road included in the photographs.

Mr McKay gave evidence that the authority complied with its statutory duties to clean streets but also said budgetary pressuresto the accident. On the evening before the accident plaintiff John E. Dieruf, with a girl he met at the Ulm Bar, began his evening activities. The girl testified that at the time she met plaintiff at about 7:30 p.m. "He seemed like he had been drinking some. He wasn't drunk * * *". The couple drove from Ulm to Great Falls and went to the J-T Bar, the Cowboy's Bar, the Westside Bar, the Caboose Bar and Dykeman's Bar in succession and consumed beer at each. At the next bar, the Cimmaron, plaintiff changed his drinking pattern and began drinking a drink known as a "Sagebrush" the basic ingredient of which is whiskey. Upon leaving the Cimmaron Bar they proceeded to the Cartwheel Bar arriving there about


midnight and plaintiff had at least one more Sagebrush. From there they went to the Nuggett Bar where plaintiff again had one or more drinks. His date testified that at about this time, approximately 1 a.m., he was "Acting pretty drunk then. One time he got up on a table and danced." They remained at the Nuggett Bar until it closed at 2 a.m.; they then drove to Gibson Park and there plaintiff "went to sleep". His date testified he slept at least one hour and probably more because she was unable to awaken him, by shaking him. Just how long plaintiff slept is a question, but when he did awaken he went to his apartment to get some clothes, put gas in his car and began atrip to Bozeman, via Ulm where he intended to return his date to her home. A few miles southwest of Great Falls he was involved in the head-on collision.
Myrle A. Gollaher, the defendant, is a young cattleman living on his family's ranch east of Cascade. At the time of the accident he was 25 years of age and unmarried. On the day before the accident, a Friday, he had worked all day with cattle and in the evening drove some 25 miles into Great Falls to relax. Like the plaintiff, he went to the Cowboy's Bar, but consumed no drinks there. Later, after helping a friend pick up a truck, he and his friend went to the nearby J-T Bar where they met some girls. They spent the


rest of the evening dancing and drinking. All told, defendant drank from 6 to 8 brandy cokes. When the bar closed at 2 a.m. the two couples went to defendant's ranch to have breakfast, a ranch breakfast of waffles, bacon, eggs and coffee. According to the testimony, after breakfast defendant took about a half-hour nap. It was when he was returning his guests to Great Falls that he met the plaintiff head-on.
The accident took place at approximately 5 a.m., May 25, 1968 about 3 miles south of Great Falls. Plaintiff was driving a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle and traveling in a southwesterly direction toward Ulm. Defendant was driving a 1966 Dodge station wagon, traveling in a northeasterly direction toward Great Falls. Reconstruction of the accident, based on the participants'accounts of it, is difficult. Plaintiff remembers nothing of the accident, except headlights and glass. His date testified she was dozing and not very attentive. Too, she suffers from eye difficulties having only one-quarter vision in one eye and is often troubled with double vision, especially at night. She was supposed to wear glasses at all times but was not wearing them the night of the accident. She recalls seeing defendant's car coming at them, and that it "looked like" it was in their lane of travel.
Defendant testified that at the time of the accident it was real light but he still had his lights on, and that he believed the plaintiff's car also had its lights on when he saw it coming toward him. He further testified


approximately where was the heavy damage on your car?
A. Left front side.
"Q. Back how far? A. Just about to the door.
"Q. Was there any damage on the door itself? A. It tore the mirror off of it, outside mirror, and chrome strips and scratches."
There was one witness to the accident who had not been out on the town the evening before the accident. He was a truck driver from Minnesota who was driving toward Great Falls in a White Freightliner. His view of the road was some 10 feet above the road. The truck driver, Mr. Nordin, testified he was driving between 65 and 70 miles per hour and was gaining on defendant's car when the accident occurred. He estimated that he was some four and a halftenths of a mile behind defendant's car when the accident took place; that just before the accident plaintiff's car moved to its left, crossed the center line and into defendant's lane of travel.
Plaintiff's contentions throughout the trial were:
That on May 25, 1968, approximately 3 miles southwest of Great Falls, Montana, on U.S. Highway 91, he was seriously injured as the result of a head-on collision with the defendant. That defendant was operating his vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and did not give plaintiff at least one-half of the main traveled portion of the highway in violation of section 32-2152, R.C.M. 1947. That defendant wrongfully turned his automobile from the lane of traffic in which he was originally and normally traveling over and across the center


additional witnesses were these: During the week before the trial defendant's counsel met with Highway Patrolman Brown and went to the scene of the accident with him. Patrolman Brown pointed out a gouge in the highway caused by the accident but he had no opinion as to what part of either car had caused the gouge. Three days before the trial defendant's counsel learned that plaintiff's counsel had located plaintiff's car and that Patrolman Brown had examined it and would testify that plaintiff's left front wheel had made the gouge mark at the instant impact between the two cars. With this apparent surprise change of the anticipated testimony of Patrolman Brown, defendant's counsel asked for a continuance, which was denied. Defendant's counsel then secured two witnesses to rebutZealand

Bozak had the same amount of points in 69 games, but despite perennially great faceoff stats, he has been horrendous in his own end. Bozak is likely going to become a free agent this summer, and signing Thornton would allow William Nylander to remain on the wing of Auston Matthews instead of shifting to centre. In my Reddit


A Runner's Recurrent Abdominal Pain.
In brief A 14-year-old female runner suffered intense, recurrent, perium-bilical pain that occurred only with running. The patient's symptoms had worsened over time, but no obvious etiology could be determined by history, physical examination, and radiologic and laboratory workups. The patient quit running. However, her symptoms resolved after a trial of a psyllium stool-bulking agent and increased fluid intake, confirming a presumptive diagnosis of silent constipation aggravated by the jarring motion of running. The patient resumed her cross-country training with no recurrence of symptoms.Story Highlights Support for legalization at 51%

Conservatives and Republicans still oppose it

States in the East and West are biggest supporters

PRINCETON, N.J. -- A slim majority of Americans, 51%, favor legalizing the use of marijuana -- similar to the 50% who supported it in 2011 and 2012, but down from a reading of 58% last year.

The new result is based on an Oct. 12-15 Gallup poll, conducted in the run-up to the midterm elections in which various pro-marijuana policy initiatives went before voters in Oregon, Washington, D.C and Florida, as well as in several cities in Maine, Michigan and elsewhere. Most of those initiatives succeeded, although a proposed Constitutional amendment in Florida to legalize medical marijuana failed with 57% of the vote, just shy of the 60% needed.

Gallup's long-term


states, with most of the blue -- heavily Democratic -- states clustered on the coasts, and most of the red -- Republican-oriented -- states concentrated in the middle and southern regions of the country, Gallup finds a solid majority supporting legalization of marijuana in the East and West, while in 2014, fewer than half support it in the South and Midwest.

Bottom Line

Public support for legalizing the use of marijuana has clearly increased over the past decade. The question now is whether the momentum will continue to build or level off at a bare majority supporting it.

Last year's finding of 58% in favor was recorded as Colorado was preparing to become the first state to implement a law decriminalizing the use of small amounts of marijuana for recreational use.Although the law passed in November 2012, it did not go into effect until January 2014. Americans may have warmed some to proponents' arguments in 2013 in the ongoing discussion around the Colorado law. More recently, Colorado has been in the news over the sale of marijuana-infused edibles -- everything from brownies to gummy bears -- and the risk they pose to children, possibly sparking public concern. Also, a year ago, proponents in California were poised to launch a ballot initiative for 2014 to legalize marijuana in the Golden State, adding to the sense of momentum for legalization, but later decided to wait until 2016 for fear of losing at the polls, as they did in 2010.

But parallel to the near-global obsession have been the concerns of, well, grown-ups around the world worried about the app's effects. These include security flaws posed by the app itself, as well as myriad cases of robbers and other assailants exploiting the game's mechanics to lure unsuspecting victims.

Then, there's the simple issue of propriety. In Washington, the Holocaust Museum and Arlington National Cemetery have been compelled to put out stern notices, requesting visitors to refrain from chasing around Pokemon while on the premises.

"Playing the game is not appropriate in the museum, which is a memorial to the victims of Nazism," Andrew Hollinger, the museum's communications director, told The Post's Andrea Peterson. "We are trying to find out if we can get the museum excluded from the game."

The consternationin the United States is mirrored elsewhere. Police in the Belgian port city of Antwerp, for example, issued a warning about the potential dangers of pedestrians playing the game.

"Players will only have eyes for their screen, and so captivated will they be by the game that they may no longer be paying attention to the traffic,” the police said. They also warned of "criminals using the game as a means to hunt down victims and steal from them."

In Bosnia, a charity organization that focuses on shielding civilians from the country's minefields as well as demining them, recently put out a notice warning Pokemon Go users from venturing near risky areas. Some 600 people have been killed by mines in the country since the end of the Balkan wars

In some corners of the Muslim world, the reaction to the game took on a particular moral valence. Earlier this week, my colleague Sudarsan Raghavan blogged about the 2001 fatwa against the original Pokemon game, issued by an Egyptian cleric, who said the game taught children gambling through the use of "Masonic and Zionist symbols." But now, the deputy chief of Cairo's Al-Azhar, the most important scholarly institution of Sunni Islam, has declared Pokemon Go to be as illicit as alcohol.

"This game makes people look like drunkards in the streets and on the roads while their eyes are glued to the mobile screens leading them to the location of the imaginary Pokemon in the hope of catching it," said Abbas Shouman, as quoted by Gulf News.also recommend you keep your eyes on the road and not on the screen of your phone, especially when crossing the street.”

The Israeli military warned its soldiers not to use the app, a sieve of information, on army bases. In Indonesia this week, a Frenchman was briefly detained after accidentally straying into a military base in West Java while hunting Pokemon.

Perhaps the most vehement response to Pokemon Go came from Russia, where the game was set to be officially released. Andrei Polyakov, a Cossack leader in St. Petersburg, the country's second-biggest city, said and his comrades would seek a government ban of the game.

"People should be dragged out of this virtual world, it reeks of Satanism," he told local radio, according to Tass news agency. "There are so


many interesting things to do and people are just wasting their lives."

Dmitri Peskov, a senior spokesman for the Russian government, warned Pokemon Go players from seeking their quarry in Moscow's most well-known site.

"Pokemons are no reason to visit the cultural treasury of the world that is the Kremlin, which unprecedentedly remains open, despite being the residence of the Russian president,” Peskov said last week.

That sentiment is not shared by some in South Korea, where the app can't function particularly well because the government constrains the use of Google Maps. Nevertheless, diehard fans have managed to find a few blindspots where they can manage to play the game, particularly in one town perched in the country's northeast.

The researchers used a new analytical technique on samples from the homes and found a chemical compound, 2-BE, and an unidentified complex mixture of organic contaminants, both commonly seen in flowback water from Marcellus shale activity. The scientists published their findings this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Officials from the Department of Home Affairs have been grilled about the controversial $423 million contract awarded to a company called Paladin to provide security, among other things, on Manus Island.

Speaking at a Senate Estimates hearing, Home Affairs Secretary Michael Pezzullo denied the government had paid $10 million to Paladin upfront.

The officials implicitly blamed Papua New Guinea for the situation.

The contract of the company which previously handled security and other services on Manus Island was due to run out on October 31, 2016.

problem among teens and gaining roots among adults. By being more aware of cyber bullying, teens and adults can help to fight it. Cyber bullying involves using technology, like cell phones and the Internet, to bully or harass another person. The introduction of social media and other communication systems has seen several people being bullied online by those who are already proficient on the platforms. The reasons behind cyber bullying might or might not be mala-fide but its existence isn't in the best interest. It has been looked at mainly from the teens' effect both in physical and psychological perception not realizing that adults are also equally affected. The impact on adults comes in different forms and has serious impact on the families and work places. The impactdoesn't usually discriminate based on any protected grounds of human rights which is more used on adults rather than young people. For a long time bullying was associated with boys who are often seen as portraying more aggressive behaviour right through child growth. On the other hand females, were seen as being involved in more subtle and indirect forms of aggression, such as verbal and emotional bullying (Salmivalli & Kaukiainen, 2004; Smith & Sharp, 1994). Of late the act is still going on in different forms and being enhanced by online operations. This makes it have a global effect by people of different races and class – economic status.

Talking therapies: Ivan Lewis launches guidance for SHAs

The government published guidance today on how strategic health authorities (SHAs) will deliver talking therapies in the near future, on the day that research revealed that antidepressants do not work.

The programme is designed to train two levels of therapists to work with people with mild to moderate and moderate to severe mental health conditions.

Mental health problems are the largest single cause of illness and disability in England and affects one in six adults. It is hoped this programme will treat 900,000 more people for depression and anxiety, of which 450,000 will be completely cured, in line with Nice (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) guidelines.

L. Ron Hubbard, Charlatan

Hubbard, the man who created Scientology in 1952, has an unusual CV for a religious and spiritual leader. As well as being a writer, he was a congenital liar: quite simply a “charlatan”. That was the view of a High Court judge in 1984, who said Hubbard’s theories were “corrupt, sinister and dangerous“.– Tom Cruise’s Church of hate tried to destroy me

The curriculum and textbooks used by Prescott’s 156 eighth-graders are similar to methods and books used among Scientologists worldwide. And teaching the children is a Scientologist hired by the school district.

Scientologists helped usher Hubbard’s program


slowed its expansion into the core curricula of public education. School districts in San Antonio, the St. Louis area and Nevada backed off the program after parents or educators voiced concerns.

In 2001, Applied Scholastics bought and renovated a former retirement home of the sisters of Notre Dame outside St. Louis. The building, on nearly 100 acres, became Applied Scholastics’ headquarters.

Watching from afar was Clearwater’s most prominent Scientology parishioner, Bennetta Slaughter. Time and again, the savvy coalition builder and respected community volunteer persuaded members of Clearwater’s civic establishment to be accepting of volunteering Scientologists.

To Slaughter, Applied Scholastics’ purchase of the St. Louis property signaled a commitment to serious expansion. She became chief executive in 2001 and in the years since, Applied Scholastics recorded dramatic growth.

Prescott Middle isin a predominantly black neighborhood of small, aging homes with chain link fences and convenience stores with bars across the windows.

More than a quarter of its students have been held back at least two years. Another quarter are special education students.

Prescott was the first Louisiana school to be “reconstituted” two years ago as a result of enduring academic failures. Elida Bera was hired from Texas to take over the school and essentially start over.

“The school was horrible, ” she says. She kept just 10 of the school’s 75 employees.

And that was before Katrina.

Hurricane evacuees made their way to every corner of southern Louisiana. Prescott’s classes swelled.

After Thanksgiving of 2005, Bera got a call from the office of Baton Rouge Mayor-President Kip Holden. He had a program he thought


the school should consider. He had been visited before and after Katrina by Slaughter – the chief executive of Applied Scholastics.

Holden also had met Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, when the two actors came to Baton Rouge after Katrina. Musician Isaac Hayes, a longtime proponent of Hubbard study tech, also put a word in Holden’s ear.

At Holden’s suggestion, Bera met with two representatives from Applied Scholastics. She had done her homework on the Internet. Her first question: What does this have to do with Scientology?

“I’m so glad you asked, ” Bera says she was told. “We want to put that on the table.” They said the program has nothing to do with Scientology other than sharing a common architect.

Bera was sold. The Baton Rouge school district agreedthough? Kowloon Walled City, one of the largest modern examples of an anarchist state, had a population estimated as high as 50,000 people - over two orders of magnitude greater than Dunbar's number.

The Free Rider problem is one issue with anarchist societies, but that's only really the first step in the issue: The reason there's a Free Rider problem at all is because there's a lack of dispute resolution.

Modern states and societies in the developed world rely on the monopolization of force by the state to grant the state the ability to make and enforce laws that are - in theory - ultimately desired by the population at large, and it has built-in dispute resolution systems in the form of the legal system (for when laws are violated)

Every revolution of the modern age (that is, from the 1700s onwards), with the notable exception of the Haitian Revolution, seems to have been caused either by someone raising taxes or by foreign rule (no matter how skilled; it'd be hard to deny that Napoleon was a much better king than Ferdinand).

I was speaking specifically of social revolutions: since the Industrial Revolution (no relation)--when every stratum of society finally got access to books, and thus the tools of literacy--governments have occasionally ceded ground to "selfless" intellectual movements. The Indian independence movement (which had tremendous support among working-class Brits), the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War spring immediately to mind.

The Iranian president added that the prime minister of the Zionist regime of Israel, which is killing people every day, is roaming around in a bid to portray a false image of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian people.

The regime in Israel has lobbied for European countries to follow the example of the US President Donald Trump and pull out of a landmark nuclear accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, and to force European firms to pull out of Iran.

The Israeli prime minister made a three-day


trip to Germany, France and Britain earlier this month and held talks with leaders of the three European signatories to the JCPOA.

The US president announced on May 8 that Washington was walking away from the nuclear agreement, which was reached between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China - plus Germany.

Trump also said he would reinstate US nuclear sanctions on Iran and impose "the highest level" of economic bans on the Islamic Republic.

Under the JCPOA, Iran undertook to put limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.

He was accused of flying the airplane to Mexico to deliver it to the Russians. The Russians then supposedly dropped him off in the desert from which he walked back to civilization. I believe this was Post WWII & Korea. The pilot lived with the accusation his entire life despite claiming his innocence despite the plane never being found.
The wreckage was just recently found, vindicating the pilot although he had passed away some years ago.
Any help would be appreciated. My google searches came up with many defection stories


and red herrings.  I know the story is recent. I just can't find it.

According to the relevant Wikipedia page Lt. David Steeves of the USAF bailed out of a T-33 trainer in 1957 near King's Canyon National Park in California and was not found until 52 days later.  When the crash site could not be located Steeves became the subject of various rumors, despite the T-33 being a relatively unimpressive trainer aircraft.
Steeves left the air force after the incident and reportedly conducted some of his own searches on the ground and in the air before being killed in an unrelated crash in Idaho in 1965.
A canopy located in the park in 1977 was as identified as being from this aircraft in 1978 but the remainder hasthey believe and how much "they go along to get along" is hard to determine but it is clear that people in groups do things they would never do on their own.

Dr. Robert M. Wachter, of UCSF, is well known in medical circles for his writing and activities in the hospitalist phenomenon. In the June 21, 2006 issue of JAMA he writes about the quality and IT "revolutions".

His comments about the unforeseen effects of the quality movement resonant with me and likely many real life physicians who may have found the quality activities impeded their work as doctors.I quote:

" More typically, individuals and institutions begin to focus on improving their performance on the variable measure, in doing so turning away from others. This "playing for


Naps and Drugs to Combat Fatigue and Sleepiness") by a well known and prolific sleep researcher, Dr. Christian Guilleminault. ( Annals Internal Medicine-volume 144,number 11 p. 856)

The other was a special issue of Internal Medicine World Report on the topic of excessive Sleepiness (ES). (ES has joined the ranks of conditions designated by an abbreviation and may soon rival ED in the level of promotional material produced.) The Report offered free CME and the authors credited with its material were an academic family doctor teamed with PhD sleep researcher from University of Michigan. The readers are told that the supplement was provided by "CME Outfitters,LLC" and was supported by an educational grant from Cephalon, Inc.,the manufacturer of modafinil (trade name Provigil).

The readers of the supplement are told thatA single-celled slime mould mindlessly foraging for food can create a network as efficient as the Tokyo rail system, researchers say.

A network created by a slime mould connects food sources corresponding to cities around Tokyo. The network is similar to the railway system that exists around the city. ((Science/AAAS)) A team of Japanese and British researchers say the behaviour of the amoeba-like mould could lead to better design of computer or communication networks.

The slime mould Physarum polycephalum grows to connect itself to food sources as part of its normal behaviour.

The mould "can find the shortest path through a maze or connect different arrays of food sources in an efficient manner," wrote Atsushi Tero of Hokkaido University and his colleagues in this week's issue of Science.

MC’s emotional underpinning and grounding come from elder sister - her death would change him. Should she die?

MC is an assassin who was raised with and by his sister after the death of their parents. They were adopted by an uncle, who did his best though he was overwhelmed by the task so the two kids raised each other.
MC is highly successful and unrepentant assassin who is devoted to his sister. She and her family are the closest thing to normal that he has ever experienced and his love for his family is such that there is nothing he will not do for them. He is the ultimate professional and never acts out of anger or passion.
The sister, Diana,is fiercely protective of her little brother in part out


of habit, but mostly because she knows him well. She is the voice of normalcy in Alexander’s life. She understands him in ways no one else can and is also the only character who could truly change him as he would choose her over his profession if push came to shove.
The two siblings have a strong bond though they must find time to be together unobserved since his departure from the CIA. He wants her in his life and she wants him in hers, but both understand that she is placed in peril as she is his vulnerability. The threat, if any, will never come from any of his colleagues as he is too highly respected for that to occur - but his former employers might force things- go home to take care of her.
If she is neither injured nor killed he continues down the road he has travelled for the past sixteen years. He goes about his business as a ‘liquidator of corporate assets’ and has Thanksgiving and Christmas with his sister and her normal life counterpoints his. He is the assassin at the table.
My main reservation is that I think it is intriguing to have this dichotomy and her normal life offers him the hope of the same if he ever chooses to retire.
I like her character but am not sure if she should essentially continue to ground her brother or if he should be forced to find his own gyroscope.

Promoters said the fight between Mayweather and Nasukawa will headline the Rizin 14 card to be staged on 31 December at the Saitama Super Arena.

Mayweather, who turns 42 in February, captured world championships in five divisions, but has not fought since a 10th-round knockout of UFC star Conor McGregor under boxing rules in August 2017. He announced his retirement after the McGregor fight with a 50-0 record as a professional, but has since teased comeback fights against old nemesis Manny Pacquiao and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Nasukawa, a southpaw who is unbeaten in 27 kickboxing fights and four MMA bouts, has won titles across several promotions in the flyweight (125lb) and bantamweight (135lb) divisions, which raises an obvious question about the contracted weight forproclivity for bragging on his paychecks when promoting a fight. One Entertainment CEO Brent Johnson, the entertainment executive who helped broker the deal for Mayweather and who sat beside the boxer on Monday, suggested that “long-term partnerships and opportunities” between Rizin and Mayweather’s nascent promotional company were the priority over a one-time cash grab, but admitted the fight would “have to make money to make sense”.

Sakakibara, who established Rizin in 2015, rose to prominence as the co-founder and president of the Pride Fighting Championships, the wildly popular and influential Japanese mixed martial arts organization that was sold to the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2007. While the companies were initially intended to co-exist as independent entities with occasional crossover events, the UFC instead absorbed


You know you’re in Winchester when…

A city in Hampshire in the south of England, with a population of over 40,000 and home to schools, English language centres, the University of Winchester and the Peter Symonds' College of further education… Winchester has a lot to offer. But what really defines a day in Winchester?

We asked Savannah King, International Students Officer at the University of Winchester Student Union, to explain! You know you’re in Winchester when you are…

…peering the whole way down the longest Gothic cathedral in Europe

Winchester Cathedral is a majestic gem in the heart of Winchester that has been welcoming visitors for over 1,000 years. Not only is it a magnificent building to see, it's a popular picnic spot – when the weather is nice, the cathedral's gardensare full of families and friends socialising, reading and enjoying the fresh air.

Plus, in December, the Cathedral Close is transformed into a winter wonderland. Cosy Christmas market stalls selling all sorts of goodies surround an ice skating rink, all set against the backdrop of the Cathedral’s amazing architecture... magical.

…feeling fit

The South Downs National Park officially begins in Winchester, so there is no excuse not to climb a nearby hill for a fantastic view over the city. The banks of the River Itchen are great for reflective rambles, and the area known as the Water Meadows allows keen runners and casual weekend walkers (and everyone in between!) to escape to the peaceful countryside just a 10-minute walk from the city's central shopping areas.

…carrying a flaming torch through the city


centre

Winchester takes its Bonfire Night celebrations very seriously at the beginning of November! The most interactive part comes at the start of the evening, when you can buy a torch to join in a procession through the ancient streets, all the way up the High Street to an enormous fireworks display.

But this isn’t the only annual parade in Winchester – at the opening of the Christmas market, there is a procession of huge, handmade, glowing lanterns heading down to the festivities.

…walking in the footsteps of Jane Austen and John Keats

The Pride and Prejudice author Jane Austen lived for most of her life in a small village outside of the city, and penned her final pages during the last few months of her life while living in Winchester. Austen'sbutter-yellow house (now a private residence) can still be gazed upon admiringly. Just around the corner in the Cathedral, readers can pay their respects at her final resting place.

The poet John Keats was another writer inspired by Winchester, where he supposedly proclaimed the air to be worth ‘six pence a pint’. This area is believed to have given Keats his ideas for the poem To Autumn – and on a crisp day during this ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’, his words do seem to flutter through the city.

All of the benefits of London – culture, sports, history, entertainment – are easily accessible from Winchester, by train in only an hour. You can enjoy your time in the


There are other kinds of performances, too, from sand sculpting to breakdancing!

In July, the city hosts the Hat Fair – the UK's longest-running festival of street theatre. These acts are both inspiring and wacky, with three creative days of unicycles, upside-down gymnasts and even more unexpected sights. Plus, most of the events are free – it's called the Hat Fair because a hat is passed around at the end of each show, for audiences to donate as much or as little as they can afford.

…finding it hard to leave

According to local legend, there is a curse put on the Buttercross – the medieval statue in the middle of the High Street. Apparently, thanks to a witch from the Middle Ages, anyone who sits on the steps of thisShoscombe and Single Hill Halt railway station

Shoscombe & Single Hill Halt was a small railway station on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway serving small villages between Wellow and Radstock, about seven miles south of Bath.

The station was the last to open on the Somerset and Dorset main line, with services beginning on 23 September 1929. It closed with the rest of the line on 7 March 1966 under the Beeching Axe.

The station, sited in the hamlet of Single Hill, consisted of two bare concrete platforms, with ornate oil lamps but without buildings. A small building containing a booking office and a waiting room was provided on the footpath leading to the station.

for whom the disease is still clinically silent, and does not include China and India, where information concerning AD is limited. The human cost goes well beyond the patients; it also includes the caregivers, with a ratio of three caregivers per patient. The financial cost for society is also exorbitant: US\$200 billion for the United States in 2012. Current projections estimate an increase to US\$1.1 trillion in 2050. In comparison, the financial stimulus package passed by the Obama administration in 2011 was \$800 billion.

The history of drug development for AD is not a success story. For years, drug developers focused on compensating for the loss of cholinergic neurotrans mission. This led to the development of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, with tacrine as the class leader. This strategy was based onthe cause for amyloid accumulation and aggregation remains to be established. In that sense, transgenic mouse models are unfitted for unveiling SAD etiopathogenesis. In addition, the only true validation of an animal model used for drug development purposes is whether it led to successful testing in human trials and thus to the subsequent release of a drug to the market. From discovery to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for release, it takes an average of 15 years to complete a drug development program. The first transgenic mouse model of AD was developed 22 years ago. Based on the current condition of the AD drug pipeline, the limitations of these transgenic models of AD in drug development are apparent. The obstacles to drug development require creation of novel

The second patient was on DSF for 6 weeks. The symptoms of the Lyme Disease improved but the treatment was stopped following a syncope, which resulted in a concussion and required hospitalization. In summary, the Liegner study reports three cases in which DSF seems to have been effective against late Lyme Disease, but in two of them neurological problems occurred during the treatment.

National reserve

Member States set up a national reserve to grant rights to payments to new farmers and to those deemed to be in special circumstances, and to establish rights for farmers in areas subject to restructuring and/or development programmes.

Payment entitlements

In order to benefit from the Single Payment Scheme, farmers must first have payment entitlements, which they must declare together with the eligible hectares. The payment entitlements may be transferred from one farmer to another under certain conditions.

Historic implementation

In the "historic model", entitlements are calculated based on the amount of direct payments each farmer has received during a reference period (generally the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. Other calculation options are possible in


specific cases or when other integrations are concerned). Each direct payment is calculated by dividing the reference amount by the number of hectares which are entitled to the support received.

Regional implementation

Member States may opt to allocate payments at regional level. In that case, regional ceilings are to be established and divided among the farmers in the region. The value of their entitlements is obtained by dividing the financial envelope by the number of hectares declared in the first year of application of the scheme.

Partial implementation

Member States have had the option of partially implementing the single payment system. In this case, Member States keep part of the coupled aid and pay it to farmers in the form of a supplementary payment and according to production. These options will disappeartheir job. One of them, a half-orc fighter with amazing stats named Wester, gets his neck snapped on their first mission. He is replaced by Berg, who has terrible stats and everyone jokes will be around forever. Joke was on them, he is unkillable. Geoff’s character is killed next and he leaves the show. Sean creates a pompus wizard and is immolated within his premier episode. His death allows JP’s slave character to be freed through a magical artifact. Instead, the completely randomly generated gnome ranger, Persnidgetron, joins alongside the npc Azure Vortex. She is important to Berg, as either a friend or love interest depending on who you ask. Snidge’s mission is to free his people from the rock gnome king. Unfortunately, rock gnomes are best in


character to re-awaken a Primordial serpent. They also lose Chuckles, a magical ivory elephant carving that could turn into an elephant. They will never get him back. Then the three of them (minus Morgan’s character) go back into the rock gnome cave to get the orb back. This is universally acknowledged as a mistake. They do get some cools buffs though, including a Farang passenger inside Berg. They eventually meet some kind of mechanical dragon chained in a wall. Everybody but Berg dies, and Berg crits a stealth to escape. He then meets the mysterious Hazaan (who has been in the background for a while, hinted at here or there), and is offered a job with The Tower. Berg takes it.

The ancient man is the other half of Hazaan (Ramus-stlye split-soul situation), and kills him to become whole again. He also takes the power of his siblings. Oops.

After a treacherous journey through the moon bridge, the destroyed temple on the other side, and the swamp leading to the jungle, we reach episode 100. There, the party meets up with an arch-wizard hiding in the jungle who eventually will analyze the green potion. They also learn more about the state of the Court of Swords and the rise of the Necromancer King. The necro army now holds the monastery.

The Irish Peace Park memorial symbolises hope among the hops in the Fields of Flanders

(#04 – Top 10 Highlights from 2015 Tour de Travoy) The photo above shows a stone round-tower in the Island of Ireland Peace Park near Messines/Mesen in Belgium. The centerpiece of the Peace Park is a 34 m tall round tower, which was built with stone from a former British Army barracks in Tipperary and from a work-house outside Mullingar in Ireland. The tower was inaugurated on 11 November 1998 by President Mary McAleese, Queen Elizabeth II, and King Albert II of Belgium. The design has a unique aspect that allows the sun to light the interior only on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the anniversary of thearmistice that ended the war.

Ploegsteert cemetery and Memorial to the Missing in Belgium. On the way to the Irish Peace Park, I passed by this memorial in Ploegsteert. There are over 11,000 names inscribed on the Memorial to the Missing in the centre of this cemetery. The Memorial was unveiled in 1931 and is flanked by 2 large lions. Interestingly, the 2 lions are not symmetrical as one lion bares his teeth while the other sits more placid. All the graves beside the memorial were moved here from nearby cemeteries. They include almost 500 graves from the Chateau Rosenburg cemetery which were moved here in 1930 after the chateau owner complained about the graves in his grounds.

of games of football being played between troops. But there is certainly a lot of anecdotal evidence that games took place, though they were not widely publicized at the time. For example, on January 1, 1915, the London Times published a letter from a major in the Medical Corps reporting that in his sector the British played a game against the Germans opposite and were beaten 3-2. Also, Kurt Zehmisch of the 134th Saxons recorded in his diary: “The English brought a soccer ball from the trenches, and pretty soon a lively game ensued. How marvellously wonderful, yet how strange it was”. In some places, the Christmas Truce lasted until New Year’s Day whereas elsewhere, it lasted less than a day and in places, officers were court-martialed forof Belgium (Flanders) and the French speaking southern part of Belgium (Wallonia). The town was captured by British forces during the Battle of Messines in June 1917. The battle is unique for it was here that the largest non-nuclear explosion ever occurred when 19 mines, which had been tunneled underneath German positions were detonated, at 3.10 am on the morning of June 7th 1917.
