When the man realized the other car was following him, he took a large sword out of his vehicle and began running toward the driver in the other car, jail records show. The driver put their car in reverse, and the man threw the sword at the vehicle as it drove backward. He then grabbed a snow shovel outside a nearby business and began walking to the driver's car with it.

Police arrived before the man could cause any damage with theshovel, however, and instructed him to drop it. Instead, the man made an obscene gesture at the officers and began walking back to his vehicle, records state. Officers commanded him several times to stop, and he eventually turned around and stopped walking.

Police then attempted to take him into custody, but he resisted by twisting his body on the ground. Once officers were able to put him into handcuffs, he began to "spit at officers and threaten to kill the officers and their families," according to the jail report.

Kyle Madison Wall, 30, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of assault, aggravated assault, a DUI, assault or threat of violence to a peace officer, interference with an arresting officer and failure to stop at the command

Hughes, who was driving the Cadillac, entered the intersection at a high rate of speed, disregarded the red light and struck the Caprice in the driver's door. The Caprice was pushed into Officer Miley's squad car. Then the Cadillac struck the squad car and pushed it to the curb. The driver of the Caprice died as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.
At his trial, Hughes interposed an insanity defense. Several witnesses testified as to Hughes' behavior just prior to the collision and after the collision occurred. Officer Miley, who had seen Hughes at a coffee shop approximately 30 times prior to October 8, 1984, stated that he had not noticed anything unusual about Hughes' behavior. On the


The Next Big Quake?

UNITED STATES, LOWER MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION

Fault Line: New Madrid

Last big quake: 1812

Reasons to worry: A string of earthquakes in the early 19th century along the New Madrid fault — covering parts of Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi — caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards, rang church bells in Boston, and affected an area more than three times as large as the famous San Francisco quake of 1906.

Two hundred years ago, the at-risk population was minimal. Today, the major cities of Saint Louis and Memphis lie within the danger zone of arguably the United State’s most threatening fault line. FEMA warned in 2008 that a major New Madrid fault earthquake could cause “the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in theUnited States,” largely due to a relative lack of earthquake preparation compared with California and the Pacific Northwest.

TURKEY

Fault line: North Anatolian

Last big quake: Duzce, 1999

Reasons to worry: The 1999 earthquake in Izmit — located off the Sea of Marmara, and just southeast of Istanbul — killed nearly 18,000 people. Izmit was the latest in a series of quakes that struck westward across Turkey over the last 70 years. A quake only three months later in Duzce killed close to 900. In the last four decades, Turkey has suffered more than six earthquakes with more than 1,000 fatalities.

More frighteningly, scientists say the next quake is likely to break slightly west of Izmit — and directly south of Istanbul, a city of 12 million people. The seismic buildup is likely


struck in the barren center of the country, causing minimal damage. But the unpredictability of seismic bursts has led to a false sense of security — building materials in major cities like Sydney are old, corroded, and vulnerable, as evidenced a by relatively minor 5.5 magnitude 1989 Newcastle earthquake that caused more than U.S. $1.4 billion in damage. A quake near Sydney, which has a population 15 times greater than Newcastle, would be far more deadly.

NEPAL

Fault line: Himalayan Frontal Thrust, Main Boundary Thrust, Main Central Thrust

Last big quake: 1988, Nepal-India border region

Reasons to worry: Just south of the Himalaya Range, and only 150 miles southwest of Mt. Everest, the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu is right on the border between the Indian and Eurasian plates. Despite there being noIt is usually the case that such electrical machines, for example permanently excited synchronous machines, but also externally excited machines, reluctance machines or hybrid machines, use an entire sheet assembly containing a plurality of electrical sheets.
The electrical sheets have narrow crosspieces, in particular on the periphery of pockets, that is to say of recesses such as magnet pockets for accommodating permanent magnets. In order to reduce the magnetic conductivity of the electrical sheets in the region of the magnet pockets, and for the resulting increase in the magnetic flux which helps to provide the torque of the electrical machine, it is known for magnet pockets to be configured such that crosspieces which are as thin as possible form in the vicinity of the magnet pockets.

of the office that manages civil service employees is quite unusual. The last two OPM chiefs of staff, Elizabeth Montoya and Kiran Ahuja, came to the role with extensive federal government experience.

Simmons’ appointment isn’t unusual in this administration, however. In March, ProPublica listed him as a member of the 520-person Trump White House “beachhead team.” Members of the beachhead team are intended to serve as the eyes and ears (or “spies,” as one congressional staffer put it) for an administration that is increasingly convinced that career federal government employees are trying to undermine the White House.

Neither Fitzhugh nor Simmons responded to a request for comment.

When told of Simmons’ previous experience, Davis said he was surprised that someone with no federal government experience was serving in a critical rolethat deals with the intricacies of the federal bureaucracy.

Although the language of Rice’s letter was routine, she says the topic ― cybersecurity at the OPM ― is critical. OPM essentially serves as the human resources department for all federal employees that quality for civil service status, which adds up to about 2 million people. Chinese hackers were reportedly behind a massive security breach at the agency in 2015. Over 21 million records were stolen, including highly sensitive security clearance forms, military records and millions of fingerprints. The breach led to multiple investigations, and Katherine L. Archuleta, who was serving as director of the OMB at the time, resigned under pressure.

The letter that Rice and her colleagues sent asked OPM to detail its overall training and testing policies, as

What kind of quality of life will the people of this world have if the Islamic State is successful and they take away all our freedoms?

President Obama isn’t it true that in her book your previous secretary of state Hillary Clinton acknowledged that America created and funded Al Qaeda as a terrorist organization in the prime of the Soviet-Afghan war? Mrs. Clinton was fine with all of this but when the revolution came about in Egypt and the Islamic brotherhood government and president were kicked out by thirty-eight million Egyptian demonstrators it changed the American plan.

Assyrians today are considered the indigenous cultural group in what is known as Iraq. Throughout their history, they have been subjected to different kinds of national and religious persecution since the fall of their political entity in 612 BC. Their religion is Christianity, and they are divided into many sects: Syriac, Chaldean (Catholic) and Assyrian Church of The East. They used to form around 8% of the Iraqi population before the fall of Saddam, while today this rate has decreased to less than 3% due to frequent aggressions implemented according to strategies based on national and religious malice on one side, and international plots on the other side,kurds who converted to the Evangelist Church.
– No aggression or terrorist act has taken place to anyone inside the kurdish occupation areas.
– The terrorist acts against Assyrians discontinued after their politicians adopted the project of annexing their lands to the kurdish occupation.

Though the article /50/ was issued by the governing council on September 29, 2003, which states that: “All acts, decisions, regulations, directives, instructions and orders that are issued by what is known as revolution leadership council and other Iraqi officials (During Baath Rule), and which are issued for the purpose of changing the political and the demographic reality in Iraq, shall be cancelled”, this was selectively enforced when the Governing Council kept the effects of Al-baath decisions on March 11, 1970 which states the separation of the

American, my family came to the United States with nothing. They created everything they have, and instilled hard work, dedication, and love within their two daughters. I am an enriched person, a kind person, a loved person, because of my mom and dad.

After 40 years of an impeccable reign, the empire is celebrating its emperor. Sargon Gabriel, the people-proclaimed ’emperor of singers’, is being celebrated by the Assyrian people worldwide for a legendary 40 year career behind the mic. Much deserved and a move that sends the right signal of support by the Assyrian people to their singers.

When it comes to the legend and emperor Sargon Gabriel, it has been one unforgettable journey in the world of Assyrian music, which has taken him to our vinyl records,is when they take on these humanitarian and political challenges for the poor and underrepresented in the third world.

Unfortunately, these Hollywood celebrities need to be told about the Assyrian Christian people of Iraq first, otherwise they will probably never know how serious our situation is.

It has been less than two months since Ashur TV’s coverage started reaching North America, and so far the reception (excuse the pun) by people has been amazing. The chatter and the buzz about the channel is starting to intensify, and it is becoming like a ritual to walk into an Assyrian home and find the family watching Ashur TV.

Many had doubts whether this channel could ever extend its reach beyond the Middle East, let alone reaching the North American continent, which it has


TV is a beacon of hope for Assyrians and all of Iraq.

November 15, 2009: it is a great day for the Assyrian nation. It is the day Ashur TV has finally reached the North American continent, and our people can now watch it in this side of the world.

Ashur TV was launched in 2004, but its reach was only local and regional. But for the last few months, there was a serious effort to bring the channel to the USA and Canada. That of course required the support of as many of our people as possible, and they did step forward and offered their monetary and social support.

Today, as I sit and type this, Ashur TV is playing on my TV here in Toronto, Canada and it isSays she is staying at Kevin’s house to atone for the crime committed by her kin

The wife of a Dalit Christian youth, who was allegedly killed last year, testified before a court here on Thursday against her father and a former sub-inspector (SI) of police.

Deposing before Principal Sessions Judge C. Jayachandran, Neenu Chacko, wife of Kevin P. Joseph, stated that both Kevin and she had received threats from her father Chacko and Niyas, the second accused and a relative of Neenu.

Neenu, who is a witness in the case, spoke of an attempt by her relatives to take her forcefully into a car from the Gandhinagar police station.

According to her statement, M.S. Shibu, the then sub-inspector of the Gandhinagar police station, had caught Kevin by the neck while mediating


the issue, and insisted on Neenu going with her father. After she resisted, Shibu demanded her to give it in writing that she was going on her own wish.

Besides Chacko, Niyas had also called her up in the presence of her mother Rehna and warned that she would not be permitted to live with a man from a lower caste at any cost.

Neenu told the court that she had decided to stay back at Kevin’s house to atone for the crime committed by her relatives. The examination of Neenu, which began at 10 a.m., lasted till 3 p.m.

The prosecution also examined Shibu, a fireman, who had recovered Kevin’s body from a stream at Thenmala. According to his statement, the water level of the stream, while recovering the body,was only waist-deep.

To back the statement, a video clip of the Fire and Rescue Services personnel recovering Kevin’s body was played before the judge. The court is slated to examine more witnesses, including Betty Benny, the manager of the hostel where Neenu had been staying, on Friday.

As per the prosecution’s case, a gang led by Shyanu Chacko, brother of Neenu and first accused in the case, abducted Kevin from his relative’s residence at Mannanam on May 28, 2018, and chased him to a stream at Chaliyakkara, near Thenmala, with the intention to kill him.

There are 14 accused in the case and based on a preliminary hearing, the court had framed charges against all the accused under 10 sections, including murder.

programs, which resulted in the legal guardianship.

       The juvenile court detained the child and placed him with his paternal great

grandmother.

       Jurisdiction and Disposition

       Mother appeared for the jurisdiction and disposition hearing on September 30,

2013. Neither mother nor the legal guardian contested jurisdiction. For the purpose of

disposition, mother offered stipulated testimony that she had recently completed anger

management and a 45-day residential drug treatment program, and that she “actively

attends AA/NA meetings.” Mother stated she had been free of drug use for       3
        On October 1, 2013, the court ruled that DPSS could choose to provide non-

statutory reunification services to mother, but that the court could not order DPSS to

provide. That is because, as long as the legal guardianship existed, only the legal

guardian was entitled to services under section 361.5. The court suggested a section 388

petition might be an appropriate vehicle for mother at a future time if she could become

ready to take custody of the child. The court ordered DPSS to provide reunification

services to the legal guardian. The court ordered weekly visits for mother, along with

reasonable telephone contact. Mother was at that time living in northern California.

Monitoring stress and recovery: new insights for the prevention of injuries and illnesses in elite youth soccer players.
Elite youth soccer players have a relatively high risk for injuries and illnesses due to increased physical and psychosocial stress. The aim of this study is to investigate how measures to monitor stress and recovery, and its analysis, provide useful information for the prevention of injuries and illnesses in elite youth soccer players. 53 elite soccer players between 15 and 18 years of age participated in this study. To determine physical stress, soccer players registered training and match duration and session rating of perceived exertion for two competitive seasons by means of daily training logs.

Bo was a well trained dog and was good with people and other dogs.

As good as Bo was, he was also very protective of family. He would always be patrolling the house keeping an eye on everyone. He would get up during the night and wander through the house like he was checking on everyone. One night everyone in the house was woken up by Bo going crazy like he was going to kill something in the younger cousins room. She was screaming her head off too as his actions woke her up and scared her pretty bad. Bo was not facing her or her bed. He was facing the opposite corner of her room from her


bed.

In that corner was where my cousin had her ~3' tall plastic doll. She always kept the doll there. I know as all of us would play board games in her room sometimes. Bo had been in her room with the doll there a number of times. Whatever he sensed or saw or whatever triggered him that night was eerie. I have brought this up here before. I am pretty sure I did not mention how Bo acted with the doll after we all ran into her room.

Bo sounded like he was in the fight of his life when we heard him. But, he never actually attacked the doll. He stayed several feet away from it.

"Demand justice for these children!" That's just one message posted on Chinese social media following allegations that a Chinese kindergarten run by a company listed on the NYSE abused the kids in its charge.

Per the New York Times, parents allege teachers at RYB Kindergarten in Xintiandi in eastern Beijing made kids take their clothes off, poked them with needles, gave then pills that made them sleepy, and locked them in a dark room, though local cops and education officials haven't confirmed the allegations.

The rumors have erupted into what the Times calls a "cacophony of fury," with some parents telling the media they fear their children may even have been molested.

Underlying the outcry is Chinese citizens' overall distrust of the government and of institutions their kids attend—especially in aOffice

Some more forgiving depictions of this trope rely on the stalker simply being too shy to approach the object of his or her affections directly, and is otherwise harmless.

In Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, although Tsuna is sort of creeped out by Gokudera's Stalker with a Crush tendencies, the show depicts him as being a very loyal and wonderful friend, writing off his desire to kill off anyone who gets close to Tsuna as being comedy.

Sōsuke is assigned a mission in which he must follow Kaname around and protect her from terrorists, all the while not letting her know. Although his actions are way overboard


by any normal standards and could easily be constructed as stalking, Kaname seems to view it with a mixture of curiosity, annoyance, attraction, and a bit of amusement. The reasons are probably a mix of the factors that Sōsuke's actions are extremelyoutlandish even by stalking standards, he appears to have as much grasp of romance and sexuality as her hamster, and of course that he is extremely attractive. This disappears when she finds Sōsuke on her balcony with a pair of her panties in his hand (which, in fact, were snatched back from Shinji, who was the one trying to steal it because some bullies put him up to it), at which point she attempts to beat him to death with a baseball bat and completely refuses toentitled to have her as his conquest just because he's ostensibly more suave. He only succeeds in getting Kaname to hate his guts, especially since he stole her first kiss, which she wished she had given to Sōsuke.

Played with the usual amount of taste and seriousness (that is, none at all) in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, where Matoi and Kafuka certainly


seems completely used to Matoi following him everywhere, even into the bathroom, and is quite comfortable in one episode with her living in his home, and is also comfortable with Kiri Komori living in his closet, and she also followed him into the bathroom at least once.

Then again, it's pretty clear that none of these people, Nozomu included, could be considered even remotely well-adjusted.

In Ask Dr. Rin!, this is Meirin, full stop. Maybe justified by the fact that she and Asuka are childhood friends, but that angle just makes it look even more awkward.

Zetsuai1989 is about a male singer named Kouji who's childhood crush on a male soccer star named Izumi that he fell for as a kid, leads to assorted sexual harassment when the two meet instalking me!

Shuichi from Gravitation chases Yuki constantly, despite being rejected, verbally abused, and often being called a little brat. They eventually end up together.

In Koharu No Hibi while Akira is freaked out by Koharu's Stalker with a Crush tendencies he still eventually ends up dating her because as he said he can't leave her alone.

Arima's dark side in Kare Kano. Any time that he comes onto the screen, you just know Arima is seconds away from shattering. This is made worse because to the outside world, he appears to be a put together, genius with his only match being Yukino, his girlfriend. It's scary to slowly see his thoughts morph from wanting to be with Yukino, to wanting to isolate her from everyone and keep her just for


a spy sent to keep an eye on Toma's growing list of powerful True Companions, specifically Mikoto. Except that he really is in love with her, and volunteered for the mission so that they wouldn't send someone else, who wouldn't have a problem killing her if she got difficult (and "difficult" is a pretty good way of summarizing Mikoto).

In flashbacks, Naruto's father Minato is shown stalking Naruto's mother Kushina. He watches over her but doesn't actually step in when she gets bullied because he has faith that she can take care of herself. The one time she's outmatched, when she's kidnapped by enemy shinobi from another village, he's there to rescue her and this causes her to fall in love with him.

Finally, in the Distant Finale to theseries, Naruto and Hinata's son Boruto is shown being stalked by Sasuke and Sakura's daughter Sarada.

Sho Kano in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple followed Miu around, watching her from high places for nearly the entire DoD story arc due to an obsession with her based on her having similar "wings" to his.

Tokyo Ghoul does a variation. While Torso's actions towards his "lovers" are depicted as being very disturbing, Torso thinks what he's doing isn't wrong. Sasaki theorizes that Torso removes the legs of his victims so they won't "leave". Once he becomes obsessed with Mutsuki, he becomes obsessed with following him and making him his, which especially escalates after Mutsuki responds to his affections in the negative leading to him to cut off his limbs to keep him from


leaving. A volume 4 diary entry reveals that he believes they share a mysterious connection, and this "spark" of desire will be his salvation. He just believes they need to have a long, private talk.....then Mutsuki will understand their destined bond, and return his love. After he cuts off Mutsuki's legs and arms he declares he will forcibly marry him while having him dressed up in a white dress and putting a wedding ring on his cut-off hand. He then stands in front of him shirtless while breathing deeply which heavily implies Attempted Rape. Usually, his past "lovers" rejection of him drives him to extreme violence to punish them including destroying their faces. Also, in chapter 73 of re: Torso brings Mutsuki a flower crown, but gets angrywhen Mutsuki glares at him and won't accept his compliments. He beats Mutsuki violently while screaming insults. He later has them on a makeshift bed and says he only beats Mutsuki because of how deep his love for him is. He also gets a sad backstory and Mutsuki finds himself sympathizing with Torso after hearing it despite how he abused him. Despite Torso's gruesome end at Mutsuki's hands they are still shipped together in the 2016 calendar.

Tsukiyama is depicted as Kaneki's Stalker with a Crush in a Ho Yay way radiating fanservice and is portrayed very sympathetically following him being rejected by Kaneki and falling into an Angst Coma after believing him to be dead.

Mika in Seraph of the End has Ho Yay with Yuu and is depicted


as being a very loyal and caring friend. He also has stalker tendencies towards Yuu in the Serapuchi comic and he's portrayed sympathetically with many fans hoping they get together.

Despite Mahiru being a Yandere stalker towards Guren and him realizing he's walking down a dangerous road by having anything to do with her he still loves her and they have sex in the novels.

Air Gear: Akito's relationship with Ikki. For example, Akito once kissed Ikki full on the mouth and often tries to kiss, bathe, and sleep next to or with Ikki, and constantly has No Sense of Personal Space around him. And after "rescuing" Akito, Ikki lets him stay at his house, and the only thing in any of this he seems to have a problem withis Akito's tendency to kiss him. Akito's also apparently fond of crossdressing and is even shown to have a dark side of his own, becoming jealous to the point of scaring Kururu when she gets too close to Ikki.

Comic Books

One time while watching Siryn sleep, Deadpool laments that what he's doing used to be considered romantic, but now it's called "stalking" and generally considered "Trespass". But that's Deadpool.

Similarly Black Cat stalking Spider-Man isnt presented as creepy. At one point she even shows Spidey the Stalker Shrine she made for him and while a little freaked out, he still pursues a relationship with her.

In Deep Gravity, it's specifically averted. Paxon was sufficiently determined that his relationship with Michelle ought to have worked that he signed on to a deep-space


Anthony was introduced as Liz's secret admirer, following her around watching her every move while she was oblivious. It took her friend finally pointing him out for her to even notice him, after which they dated for a while, with nothing said against his questionable behavior. Of course, that was child's play to the turns the relationship took years later. (Ex: him continuing to stalk her even after he married someone else.) Literally child's play- Anthony and Elizabeth were children when they met, so the behavior was less "questionable" and more "shy nerdy little boy with his first crush."

Zits: One arc had Jeremy stealing his parents' car in the middle of the night so he could repeatedly drive by the house of a girl he was interested in,an act which got him arrested. When Connie chewed him out over it, asking what he thought he was doing, Jeremy described it as a "desperate romantic gesture". Connie then told Walt to take over lecturing him, as she almost forgave him.

Fan Works

In the Twilight fan fictionThe (Not So) Short Second Life of Bree Tanner the main character, Bree, is the object of some restraining order-worthy affection from Alec, though — unlike Bella with Edward — she's not nearly as charmed by the creepily felonious antics or isn't shy about mentioning it.

In Code Geass: Mao of the Deliverance, Mao travels hundreds of miles to find C.C. again while listening to her voice constantly on his headphones. She actually recorded this for him, however, and he is really just


trying to save her life (albeit against her wishes).

Most (but not all) Glee fanfics that involve Kurt/Dave Karofsky will have this trope.

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic The Games We Play is about one of Rainbow Dash's friends having a crush on her and using the Mare Do Well costume as a means to disguise their identity and get close to her without risking their friendship. Except "get close to her" pretty much ends up meaning "stalk and sexually harass her". Zigzagged in that Dash is very unhappy with this, but starts to reciprocate, and ends up feeling pretty damn confused.

In If Bella Were Sane, Edward stalks Bella and tries to trick her into marrying him while she's drunk because he's in love with her. Unlikethe Bella of the Twilight books, the fanfiction has her creeped out and punch him over it. The last chapter, in which Bella's very loopy, very Mormon Aunt Stephenie comes to visit from Arizona makes a huge Take That! at the trope.

I told her everything, sipping tea in my pajamas. I left out the rude words and stuff and most of my freakoutslike I said, really Mormonbut she got the whole story. She said it was almost sort of romantic. Like I said, sort of loopy.

In the Facing the Future Series, Maddie once told Jazz that Jack would camp out on her family's yard when they were away just so he could see her when she got back. While Jack and Maddie thought it was romantic, Jazz thought


bothered by it and only relents to his presence when Dracula hypnotises her.

In Killing Jessica Stein, Jessica ends up with Josh who quite obsessively went through her personal files (including letters) at work. Apparently, because he was motivated by jealousy from their past relationship, this is fine.

Scott falls in love with roller-skating, punk-haired Ramona Flowers at first sight, across a public space. He stalks her in a way thats apparently meant to be adorable... To be fair, it's lampshaded right off the bat ("And then... he stalked her...") and played for laughs. She agrees to go out with him the next time they speak and is never really aware of his previous stalking, but neither does she seem to like him any more than "meh, he's a niceguy."

From what is shown of her various exes, she also has a tendency to date psychotic people. This includes Gideon, who creates The League of Evil Exes to keep her from dating anyone else and return to him, brainwashes her into being with him again, and hits and shove her down some steps in a decidedly non-comedic way. Compared to that, a guy who shyly follows her around at a party would be normal.

The obvious Twilight rip-off Blood Red Moon features this, with the male lead Victor. However, he does it... poorly. As Obscurus Lupa put it in her review:

"At least Edward Cullen stood more than six feet away when he was stalking someone."

In Untamed Heart, Adam and Caroline's relationship really begins because he rescues her from attackers


while stalking her. He also enters her room while she's sleeping which he somehow pulls off without her calling the police.

Strongly represented in Crazy Stupid Love in the storyline of the son. Even to the point where the object of his desire is sending him messages to stop because he's making her uncomfortable. It's still presented as romantic, though.

A blatant example in Major League, Jake stalks his crush several times after Willy's character says to follow her home (Since he didn't know where she lived) and she seems to take this all with just a shrug of her shoulders despite telling him it's over several times. They end up together at the end of the film.

In Disturbia, Kale watches Ashley from his bedroom, though rarely for things likeundressing. He later tells her about all the little personal quirks and hobbies he knows about her from his spying, to prove that he understands her. They kiss right after this. Granted she does tell him that it's either "the creepiest or the most romantic thing [she] ever heard".

Gary, the eponymous character in The Last American Virgin stalks Karen by leering at her at the ice cream parlor, by letting the air out of her bike's tires so he can give her a ride to school, following her around and watching her have sex with Rick.

In Superman Returns the Man of Steel spends some spying on Lois at her house after finding out she's married now.

Peter's love interest Gwen Stacy doesn't have much of a problem with finding


out she graces the background of his computer, or him attending a tour of hers that he clearly didn't sign up fornote he didn't sign up for the tour for her sake, or him repeatedly visiting her room via the window rather than by the doornote he explains it as being scared of the doorman the first time and by the second she knows he's Spidey. May be lampshaded by showing she owns several Twilight books.

Even more so in the sequel The Amazing Spider Man 2, where Peter takes to watching Gwen from rooftops after they break up. We get this exchange:

Gwen: Have you been following me? Gwen: How often? Peter: Just once a day. Sometimes... Sometimes more.

In P2, Thomas expects Angela to be attracted to him evenafter he kidnaps her, chases her through the parking lot, kills two of her coworkers, locks her in the trunk of a car, and sics his dog on her.

Played for laughs in There's Something About Mary, in which the title character has several men who are stalking her and plotting to win her love. It's actually portrayed as creepy, especially from the supporting "suitors", but even main character Ted realizes what he's been doing is not OK and has an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy moment and is willing to walk away.

Ripcord's amorous designs on Scarlett tend to come off as being this, despite most likely being meant to be charmingly goofy.

Destro has this sort of relationship with the Baroness. Unlike traditional versions of the romance


where it's entirely consensual, he seems very interested in the current one despite her showing only marginal interest in return. He even has her husband killed for touching her. However, he also knows she's mind-controlled.

In Indecent Proposal, Gage's behavior towards Diana following their one-night stand, something that was contractually agreed on to be one night and nothing more. He shows up at both of her workplaces (she's a realtor who teaches ESL part-time) uninvited and unannounced and otherwise manipulates situations in order to bring her close to him, essentially forcing her into a relationship. At one point, incensed at his conduct, she shows up at his office to tell him off, and here the Double Standard kicks in full force — whereas his behavior was portrayed as adorableand playful even though she clearly found it upsetting, hers is made out to be alarming and disruptive even though she has every right to be angry with him. But sure enough, she gradually softens towards him and they end up together for a good portion of the movie.

Hannibal turns the title character into a Stalker with a Crush for Clarice Starling. While in ''The Silence of the Lambs, he simply seems to enjoy being creepy for creepiness' sake, the sequel turns it into a kind of weird romantic love for Clarice Starling, with him sneaking into her house and watching her sleep (while touching her face and hair). In a deleted scene, he breaks into her car and licks the steering wheel to get the taste of


her. Not to mention the part where she's talking to him on a cell phone trying to find him, and it turns out he was behind her touching her hair. The weird thing is that it's actually meant to be romantic.

Notorious Vanilla Ice star vehicle, Cool as Ice sees Badass Biker Johnny Van Owen playing this trope jaw-droppingly straight. He obsessively pursues Kathy, whom he knocked off a horse in their first meeting, and yet she's somehow charmed by him and his early 90s witticisms, at the expense of her current jock boyfriend. The most infamous moment is when Johnny sneaks into Kathy's house early in the morning, lays down right next to her(!), and wakes her up with an ice cube.

In Written on the Wind, Lucy eventuallyfalls in love with Kyle and marries him despite initially trying to get away from him several times.

Wish Upon: Paul, under the influence of the wish box, falls madly in love with Claire. So madly that he starts breaking into her house and taking photos of her while she sleeps.

Literature

In Ovid's The Metamorphoses (specifically the Daphne and Apollo chapter), Apollo tells Daphne that he chases her not as a foe, but from love (although she certainly didn't see it that way), making this trope at least Older Than Feudalism.

Fans of the Broadway Musical are also unaware (or at least dont acknowledge) that in the book while Christine does care for Erik and pity him, shes still horrified and disgusted by him and how he haunts her steps. In


fact when faced with the prospect of marrying Erik in the book Christine literally bangs her head against the walls trying to kill herself, but she only succeeds in knocking herself out. The musical and other adaptations have made the relationship between Christine and the Phantom Lost in Translation, by glossing over the darker aspects and just how tormented Christine is by him.

Also in The Phantom of the Opera, Raoul's claim to Christine's love is that he's been obsessed with her since he met her when they were children, becomes jealous and possessive the moment he suspects she's seeing someone else (Note: that at this point he hasn't even spoken to her since they were teenagers). And then he waits in the darkness outside her dressing room sohe can sneak inside and search for The Phantom. Christine does call him on this creepy behaviour and Raoul does eventually cool down by the end of the book. Christine also choose not to speak to him before since Erik was close by and murderously jealous of Raoul, so she was actually protecting him.

In Twilight, Edward Cullen starts out by flat-out stalking Bella and watching her as she sleeps. Does she mind? No. Even as he tells her how dangerous he is, she finds him more and more attractive, eventually allowing him to entirely isolate her from her old life and friends (even granted that she wasn't particularly happy with them to begin with, her sheer passivity can still come across as disturbing). Edward even lampshades this in


the aborted prequel Midnight Sun, becoming disgusted with himself when he sneaks into Bella's window to watch her sleep and berating himself as a creepy stalker who should not be doing this. It doesn't stop him from going ahead and doing it anyway.Repeatedly. When he does finally confess that he has been watching her sleep, she is flattered. Yes, you read that right. She is flattered. By someone watching her sleep.

In the Kate Daniels novel Magic Strikes, Kate learns that Curran has been breaking into her apartment to watch her sleep (and eat her snacks). While she calls him a stalker to his face and threatens to call the cops on him, the shapeshifters consider this normal courtship behavior.

In Hush, Hush, Patch constantly stalks Nora. Her being flusteredand bothered by this is treated like a Meet Cute, even though we later learn that he initially was stalking her to learn how best to murder her. We also later learn that he decided that he loved her during said stalking before they even met once.

This happens in the Twilight-ripoff Fifty Shades of Grey. The title character actually tracks Ana via her cellphone, which, in addition to being creepy, is kind of illegal.

In the same book, Grey also stalks Ana Steele across state lines when she goes to visit her mother in Savannah, Georgia. Ana calls it stalking, too; she's just unable to grasp that stalking is a bad thing.

In the second book of Song of the Lioness, Alanna explicitly calls George's behavior "stalking" while he's doing


his Dogged Nice Guy routine, and in the third he has a couple of his spies follow her into the desert (where she is trying to get away from this and other complications of Corus). Although Alanna is annoyed with these things at the time, she eventually marries him. Tamora Pierce has since acknowledged this as a major case of Values Dissonance, as stalking was much less understood in the '80s, and even says it's the one thing about the franchise she'd like to go back and change.

Then The Immortals has Numair stealing a lock of Daine's hair without permission while she's suffering from a debilitating illness, which she doesn't mind at all since she suddenly realizes she's in love with him. It was actually so he'd havea way to magically track her if she went missing, but given the fact that Pierce had previously given us George and Alanna, many fans cried Unfortunate Implications. There's also the whole thing about her being 16 and him 30, and a teacher and student - which was why he initially rejected her, pointing to the age gap and his reputation (also, she was kind of concussed at the time).

The plot of a The Babysitters Club book featured the girls fearing the actions of a prank caller/prowler roaming the neighborhood. One night when two of the girls are sitting together, they're frightened by mysterious phone calls and noises outside. When one of the girls actually sees someone running away from the house at one point, she gets fed


up and calls the police, who bring in one of her classmates. When she and the cops demand to know why he's been harassing her, he shyly admits that he was trying to work up the nerve to ask her out—and she accepts. This isn't Played for Laughs or made out to be adorable like so many other examples, this is flat-out creepy and scary behavior that still results in the guy getting the girl.

While he doesn't flat-out stalk her, Peeta Mellark admits to Katniss Everdeen during the 74th Hunger Games that he used to watch her walk home from school every day.

Live-Action TV

In 30 Rock this is played with. Jenna is upset after her creepy stalker loses interest in her — not because she loved him butin Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which is a whole series deconstruction of Rom Com tropes, but played straight in season two when Josh realises that Rebecca has always been there for him and falls for her, despite all the creepy stuff she's done towards him. However, it's implied that he was just desperate to find a rebound relationship as he hates being single, and while they seem happy together at first, by the end of the season he has some very cold feet.

In Criminal Minds, "Crazy" Jane was nearly a murder victim of Frank Breitkopf, a sexual sadist and murderous sociopath. She gave him a compliment on his eyes and this caught him by surprise. He failed to properly torture and kill her like he had done before and let


her go. Since then, he had been dropping by her house and let her gifts... made from the bones of his previous victims. Neither this nor the reason revealed behind his visits to her home town are enough to frighten her. In fact, when she saw him again, she ran towards him instead of away.

"Blink": Kathy gets sent back to 1920 by one of the Weeping Angels. Ben is the first person she meets; they later get married. Ben does have an interest in being curious and concerned about Kathy since she's clearly not from around the area and is quite distressed.

Kathy: Are you following me? Ben: Yeah. Kathy: Are you going to stop following me? Ben: No, I don't think so.

The Doctor: How did you meet? Youand Reg, tell me how you met. Madge Arwell: He followed me home. I worked in the dairy, he always used to follow me home. He said he'd keep on following me until I married him! I didn't like to make a scene.

In the first season, Paul serves as a Deconstruction of The Dulcinea Effect, so while he is trying to save Echo, his actions come across as obsessive and weird at times, especially as he ignored a (seemingly) healthier romantic partner in Mellie. Eventually, Paul and Echo get together.

Alpha gets a bit of this, too, with a lot less subtlety. He's Axe-Crazy and obsessed with Echo, but in The Finale he's apparently reformed, and it's hinted he still loves her (though he would rather see her happy


with Paul). So he apparently did really love her, despite his earlier psychotic actions.

Family Matters. Urkel's behavior towards Laura, even though it's played for laughs and seen as annoying even at its worst. Though a handful of incidents—his locker combination being equivalent to her measurements, him asking for a lock of her hair—leave her genuinely creeped out, by the end of the series, they're together. The Double Standard comes into play here also—his behavior is considered romantic and endearing, but Myra and Myrtle' s identical behavior towards him and Eddie, respectively, is portrayed as the craziness it truly is.

Chuck Bass does a lot of stalking of Blair on Gossip Girl. Though sometimes he leaves it up to his PIs to do the actual legwork.

"There's a fine line betweenthe stalkee is interested in the stalker.

Deconstructed on an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. When the detectives interview the business partner of a man they suspect of raping and murdering an assistant DA, she mentions that the man had sent her flowers the day after they met, presumably to entice her into going into business with him. Rather than seeing it as a sweet gesture, she admits that the fact that he knew her address scared the hell out of her.

In Oz, Ryan O'Reily gets his brother to murder Dr. Nathan's husband, forces kisses on her, kills her rapist to avenge her, and out-and-out stalks her. At first, Gloria isn't happy when she learns that Ryan had her husband killed, and initially suspects that O'Reily


was the one who arranged for her to get raped after she rejected him. But after she learns Ryan had nothing to do with her rape and killed the guy who did attack her, her opinion of him starts to change. So it works (eventually), and she ends up falling in love with him. Though the show lampshades this as not being a very healthy relationship.

Mark from Peep Show goes to great lengths to win Sophie's heart during the first two seasons of the show. This includes hacking her personal email to keep tabs on their relationship, following her on dates and rushing up to the bus she's on to "bump into her". He eventually ends up marrying her, but they immediately file for divorce. He continues thistype of behavior with Dobbie, even after she leaves him.

In Pushing Daisies Ned impersonates someone from a temp agency so he can get a job at the same place as his girlfriend Chuck. She says it's sweet. Emerson, watching them says "He's stalking you."

Displayed in the recurring Saturday Night Live skit "The Denise Show", in which a teenage boy obsesses over his ex-girlfriend and contrives ways to get her back. Despite the comedy setting, it's made clear that his behavior is wrong—his father yells at him about it, Denise herself repeatedly tells him to leave her alone, and another girlfriend dumps him because he can't get over her. By the final skit, he mentions that a restraining order has filed against him.

Sex and the City: Big's behavior towards


Carrie after he's married someone else—constantly calling her, lurking outside her apartment waiting for her to come home, then continuing to lurk waiting for her boyfriend to leave, showing up uninvited and unannounced and only leaving when she tells him her boyfriend is coming back, following her to the hotel where she's staying, following her into the elevator and grabbing and kissing her repeatedly, telling her, "I love you". Throughout all this, she repeatedly and explicitly tells him to leave her alone and during the kissing scene, repeatedly pushes him away and tells him "Fuck you" (in other words, "No"), before finally responding to his kisses. The next shot is of them in bed. The Double Standard is glaring—throughout their on-again, off-again relationship, any pursuing behavior of Carrie'swas viewed as pitiful and worthy of ridicule and ended with her being dumped, whereas Big's harassment and essentially forcing himself on her is portrayed as sexy and romantic and results in him getting her back.

To a lesser extent with Steve and Miranda. From the moment their one-night stand is over, she makes it clear that this is all she wants. He responds by constantly calling her, showing up at her placeat one point, threatening to make a scene if she doesn't let him inand overall, repeatedly ignoring her numerous requests that he leave her alone. This is never made out to be bad, despite Miranda's obvious annoyance with his persistence, just a case of the "Wild" guy trying to win over the "Uptight" woman and get her


to let her defenses down.

Averted in Stargate SG-1, where the ascendedAncient Orlin falls in love with Samantha Carter on another planet and follows her home. Carter explicitly tells him he's stalking her and that what they have is not a "relationship". She eventually warms up to him (after he accepts her criticism and backs off) but never falls in love with him in return.

Used with a twist regarding Stefan. He stalked Elena for a while after he saved her from the car crash that killed her parents, but this was for the quite sensible reason of wanting to find out if she was really his psychotic presumed-dead ex Katherine, and why exactly the two looked so similar. He didn't find out why, but was satisfied that Elena waswhile, but she manipulated their relationship in similar ways and even has a few murders under her belt as well. As it turns out, only a fellow stalker would find stalking romantic. Joe, however, is appalled by this revelation.

Music

"Stalker" by Goldfinger. Essentially, it's a guy that is being stalked by a woman he knows is totally insane (although nonviolent), but he falls in love with her anyway. In the last verse, she sends him a letter, saying that she's been arrested and sent to prison for going through his mail, and he's flattered that she says she'll keep tabs on him. It's Played for Laughs, though, and isn't half as creepy as some of the other examples on this list.

The music video for "Obsessed With You" by The


Orion Experience plays this trope for laughs. The entire band constantly follows a girl around, the lead singers even get into bed with her. She eventually kicks them out, but gets lonely and invites them back in, happily singing along at the end of the video.

The music video for Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" features Jackson following some random woman around a city block, singing about how much he loves her, and performing lewd dance moves. Rather than being annoyed or creeped out by this behavior, the woman in question is amused and the video ends with them embracing.

Parodied and mercilessly lampooned in "Weird Al" Yankovic's Do I Creep You Out, in which the singer describes all the creepy things he's done in the nameof "love", like digging the girl's gum out of the garbage can and carving her name into his leg with a knife. He gets arrested and sent to prison.

Pro Wrestling

In TNA, Brittany stalked Samuel Shaw, who had repeatedly said he was not interested in her. She persisted though and eventually, he did fall in love with her.

Puppet Shows

Used in-universe in Mongrels episode "Nelson and the Human". While Neil's pursuit of a woman is clearly obsessive stalking, Nelson sees it as romantic and tries to come up with a scheme to get the two lovebirds together. In the end Neil shoots the woman and her boyfriend, then himself.

Theatre

In My Fair Lady, Freddy sends Eliza love letters every day and spends all his spare time hanging around in the street


outside her house — at one point, she finds him out there at three in the morning. It's played for laughs, and Freddy is characterized as so ineffectual that he could never actually do anything, for good or ill. Eliza isn't especially impressed by his behavior, but she also isn't put off by it and seriously considers him as a possible marriage candidate.

Video Games

In Neverwinter Nights 2, Elanee reveals that she was assigned by the druid circle of Merdelain to watch over your character, from birth (the story timeline was designed assuming a human character). Depending on your character's reaction, a male character can either play this trope straight or play it more realistically. In a variation, this seems to be a case of her falling in loveabout it?’”

Henderson’s signage through the electorate has been targeted by climate protesters. She reported the vandalism and theft to police, and has hired security for her final days of campaigning.

Danaher says she does not endorse violence, threats or intimidation. She was compelled to begin the weekly protests after 15 year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg initiated the school strike for climate, a movement which became global and led to hundreds of thousands of children calling on their politicians to act on climate change.

Danaher says it was a wake-up call.

“She was 15 at the time and I was 75, and that clicked with me. I thought wow, here she is at beginning of her life and here I am at end of mine, yet I have known about this issue


Background
==========

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) consists of a mixture of smoke produced by the burning of cigarettes and the smoke directly exhaled by smokers. A large part of the smoke that is inhaled by a passive smoker is made by the burning of cigarettes, which contains certain toxic components at levels far above those inhaled by the actual smoker. It has been shown that the levels of nicotine and tar produced by burning cigarettes are three times higher than in the smoke directly exhaled by smokers, and the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) approximately five times higher \[[@B1]\]. In addition, the spontaneous burning of cigarettes produces smaller particles that are able to penetrate deeper areas of the lungs \[[@B2]\].

Since the milestone publication by Doll and Hill in 1950, itWHO MPOWER report \[[@B9]\] proposes suggestive evidence between environmental exposure to tobacco smoke and the following diseases: leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors and asthma. It is particularly worrying in younger children because they are dependent on adults and therefore cannot avoid exposure to tobacco smoke; moreover, their immune systems are underdeveloped.

In Spain, the law on tobacco control measures (28/2005) has led to notable progress in reducing ETS in work places and in increasing the awareness of the damage caused by ETS \[[@B10]\]; however, at the same time this law has made the home one of the few places where people can smoke \[[@B11]\]. As an example of the exceptions and contradictions of the Spanish law, in \"small\" places of entertainment (less than 100 square meters) such as bars and

Atlaspaths, parks, highways and roadways. To create these drawings, the artist studied architectural images sourced online as well as photographs taken by himself of his surroundings to build a lexicon of varying patterns and shapes through meticulous methods of layering, abstraction and mark-making. The labour of his hands, so pronounced in these original drawings, is not as apparent in the flatly printed flags, and this loss seems to intentionally divert the viewer away from the core subjectivity of the artist’s studio-based, material process.

In fact, Monteith made consistent efforts to shift and extend the politics of his aesthetics in this exhibition. Working as both artist and curator, he declared the exhibition as an active, non-hegemonic, queer project space and invited a number of queer artists to showcase works with


specifically gender-related themes such as self-representation, desire, intimacy and gender fluidity. These contributions, submitted by open call, were structured into a two-night performance program and video screening, which coincided with Pride Taipei and a proliferation of LGBTQ activities throughout the city. Given that context, Monteith’s show might have been easily misunderstood by some as another vehicle of visibility for queer culture, rather than what was ultimately a site with potential for broader and more open reflections of difference, diversity and queerness as promised by his confederation of flags.

The Cork Constitution players celebrate with the Bateman Cup after their 13-point victory over UCD in today's final at Temple Hill

Cork Con Retain Bateman Cup

3 May 2014, 04:16 pm ::

Match Report By Editor

Man-of-the-match Darragh Lyons and captain Gerry Hurley pulled the strings for Cork Constitution as they successfully defended their Ulster Bank Bateman Cup title at home to UCD.

Tom Mulcahy's men coped better with the wet conditions, turning the screw with a much-improved second half display as their simple but effective game-plan paid off.

Darragh Lyons covered any danger from the full-back position and kicked astutely throughout, with his opportunist 26th minute try moving the defending champions ahead for the first time.

The Leesders' captain Gerry Hurley also kicked superbly from hand and off the kicking tee, landing five ofhis six kicks at goal - including three penalties in the second half.

UCD had the lion's share of possession in the opening 40 minutes but were unable to transfer that dominance onto the scoreboard, as they trailed 10-6 at the turnaround.

Their out-half James Thornton kicked two penalties after 24 and 31 minutes, although he missed two other attempts at the posts - and a third and final one after the break.

One of the oldest trophies in Irish rugby, Cork Con became the first club to retain the Bateman Cup since Lansdowne achieved a three in-a-row between 1929 and 1931.

Munster sides have dominated the provincial cup winners' competition since it was reintroduced by the IRFU in 2011.

Cork Con's double follows on from wins for Bruff (2011) and Garryowen (2012),


and today's victory for the seniors comes just a few weeks after Constitution's Under-20s were crowned Fraser McMullen All-Ireland Cup champions for the first time.

UCD were first to threaten at a drizzly Temple Hill as Sam Coghlan Murray tried to fasten onto a well-judged kick from Thornton, but the winger knocked on under pressure from Lyons.

Although Michael Keyes showed well on an early break for Cork Con, the students had a stubborn grasp of territory with good hands from Alex Kelly and Andrew Boyle creating some promising opportunities out wide.

Kelly had to hobble off soon after with an ankle injury and Thornton was just short with a difficult 14th minute penalty from the right, following a strong run on the opposite wing by the dangerous Barry Daly.

Cork Conhad the stronger set piece and a lineout steal allowed replacement Alex Ryan burst through midfield, with William Ryan and Andrew O'Driscoll carrying forcefully just outside the visitors' 22.

UCD survived that spell of pressure and after Mark McGroarty was invited forward on the left, his opposite number James Ryan infringed at a ruck and Thornton claimed the three points on offer.

But the Leesiders hit the front just two minutes later, profiting from a UCD pass that went astray - not for the first time.

Lyons, bloodied and bandaged after an earlier collision, won the race to his own grubber kick and he hacked through to score as the covering Niall Earls and Daly both unfortunately lost their footing on the greasy pitch.

Hurley followed up with a crisply-struck conversion and


UCD missed an immediate chance to respond as influential centre Stephen Murphy hacked through twice only for the ball to beat him into touch.

Bobby Byrne's youngsters managed to close the gap to 7-6 nonetheless, as Cork Con hooker O'Driscoll was sin-binned for a ruck offence and Thornton landed the resulting kick from long range.

They could have entered half-time with a slim lead, but Thornton missed a kickable effort from the right after Daly, Jamie Glynn and Risteard Byrne all featured in attack.

Constitution, having played most of the opening 40 minutes without the ball, went in four points up when Hurley's last kick of the half punished the students for illegally collapsing a lineout maul.

It was a good reward for openside James Ryan who had won an earlier penaltyto get Mulcahy's charges into scoring range at the tail end of the half.

The home side forced the issue early in the second period, Lyons missing a drop goal attempt before UCD prop James Tracy saw yellow for side-entry at a Cork Con maul.

Although the resulting 48th minute penalty was missed by Hurley, the Munster-capped player made no mistake six minutes later after a powerful Constitution scrum.

UCD were resilient while Tracy was off and the returning Kelly broke for deep to give a rare glimpse of their attacking class. But crucially they emerged scoreless from a visit to the Cork Con 22 as Thornton flicked a 61st minute penalty wide.

Into the final quarter, the more experienced Constitution outfit tightened their grip on the game with Munster's Billy Holland

get out of here” Karvurk nodded his head, and pulled the stone disc out of his pack. juggling it in his hand to get an idea of the weight, he thought for a second, before placing it into the recess he’d identified earlier. The stone disc fit into the circular recess, and he gave it a twist. A rumbling sound filled the hall, and the door slowly slid into the ceiling, revealing a large, dim room. We shone our lanterns into the room, and in the dark space we could see a single ornate sarcophagus in the room. Drewan muttered a short phrase and pointed his palm into the room, and a series of small point lights flew gently into the room, giving the room a gentle bluedeep red liquid sloshed around inside the vial, but I had no idea. I could hear the Northerner grunting and levering the crowbar, and I turned back to him, He’d managed to get the prybar under the lid, After a couple minutes of exhausting effort, he cracked the lid and pushed it aside A blade wreathed in ghostly flame shot out of the sarcophagus and struck him in the gut. He crumpled over, and a voice echoed from the coffin “Who dares defy my tomb!”

Aim for the head!” Drewan cried from the other side of the room I raced to the wall and grabbed a torch, trying to take stock of where the rest of the group was. Drewan, Dem’nion and and Izumi had hunkered down below the cracked coffin, which was still smoking but didn’t seem to be sliding like the others. Karvurk had drawn his sword and was standing in an aggressive stance near the pedestal, and Lundgredolph had drawn his great axe and was screaming an ancient war chant. I’d lost Narshak, but I figured I had bigger things tograb a torch of her own, just in time to fend off a blow from another zombie, which had charged from the far end of the room towards her. circling around it, she struck it in the gut with the torch and it began smoking for a second before bursting into flame, but it continued to fight on undeterred. A creature rushed at the northerner, crying out with a gasping yell. Lundgredolph waited until it was closing in and brought his axe up behind his head. With an oath and a yell , he brought it down in a vertical strike, lopping off one of the creature’s arms and half its torso. He followed through by blocking the creature’s lightning fast punch on the flat of the blade

Never again *** Across the room, Izumi and Dem'nion had cornered the flaming zombie, Izumi fending off its blows while Dem'nion filled it with crossbow bolts, firing as he circled across to another coffin for cover. Drewan gave up on attempting to fix his bow and brought his sword out in a textbook strike, and I mean textbook- i’d seen combat manuals in the hightown houses, useless in a street scrap but oddly effective against an unthinking foe. The creature was bisected through its waist, and fell to the stone floor in smoking pieces, the torso still attempting to clawat the scholarly catfolk. He regarded it for a second then brought his booted foot down onto its head, which shattered into dust and stopped the creature’s flailing for good. I spotted a zombie sneaking up on Karvurk and the central pillar, and moved to cry out and warn him, but no sooner had I opened my mouth than Lundgredolph was upon it, yelling incoherently and enraged. He brought his great axe up and over, cleaving the creature from the top of its skull to where its belly button would be. The creature stopped, and still standing the two halves slowly began to topple away from each other, leaving the body a grotesque Y shaped statue. Narshak rushed past me to engage the last surviving zombie as I


stone grating on metal hinges and the seal was broken. The door swung open, and triumphant we stared in to that gloomy portal. Even before our lanterns and lights penetrated the darkness we could see a single, brilliant shaft of golden sunlight piercing through the black. It shone indiscriminately, though without direction or purpose, serving only to shine at a seemingly random place on the floor. Karvurk, tired from opening the door and displeased by the sudden intrusion of sunshine, hung back as Abelas and I took a hesitant step across the threshold. Immediately I noticed an irregularity in the pattern of the light beam, discerning there to be some kind of rope dangling freely. Sensing that there was no immediate danger Izumi brought herself to the fringekill you, not one of the ones who was on the ground not moving at all! The hobgoblin awoke with a scream, and started scrambling for its axe By this point Karvurk had managed to draw his sword, and he immediately engaged the one that was assailing Izumi. Bringing his sword up into a high guard, he swung down in a near textbook swing, but had to pull back at the last moment to avoid hitting our comrade. The enemy hobgoblin shifted to the right, then brought his axe around in a wide swing, clipping Karvurk in the ribs. Though his armour took most of the blow, I heard him gasp and snarl back something in goblin. Dem'nion, having killed his light show, struck out at the lead


then reached to his belt and pulled out the healing draught from before, gulping it down to ease the pain in his side. Suddenly, he switched his sword to his right hand, and began moving his left fingers in a complex pattern. Energy began to crackle between his fingers as he turned back to the goblin leader, alternating blows with his lightning charged hand and his sword. I could see the still sleeping hobgoblin stirring, and I wasn’t going to give it a chance to get back up. Crossing the last metre or two towards him I grabbed my sword in a two handed stance, and ran it through its throat. It gurgled for a moment, then went silent. I then turned back towards the melee across theRecently

However, competitive dynamics within MSTd prevent the secondary peak from dominating, even when the background FoE is occluded by the object and the pseudo FoE is the most radial flow pattern in the visual field. When the pseudo FoE becomes close enough to the heading direction, the response peaks merge, yielding a new peak that is slightly shifted in the direction of the pseudo FoE (leftward; third and fourth panels).

Key elements of Christian doctrine are offensive to Muslims, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said in a letter to Islamic scholars.

Dr Rowan Williams also spoke critically of the violent past of both religions and Christianity’s abandonment of its peaceful origins.

His comments came in a published letter to Islamic leaders, intended to promote closer dialogue and understanding between the two faiths.

However they come just months after Dr Williams was forced to clarify comments in which he said some parts of Islamic law will “unavoidably” be adopted in Britain.

The comments are also made as the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference begins in Canterbury. Up to a quarter of bishops are boycotting the event, as the Anglican Church faces continuing division over the issues of women bishops and homosexual clergy.
