information about the US government's attacks against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks and Stratfor's own attempts to subvert WikiLeaks," the whistleblower website said.

"There are more than 4,000 emails mentioning WikiLeaks or Julian Assange. The emails also expose the revolving door that operates in private intelligence companies in the United States."

The initial release was said to contain information on measures taken to track activist and NGO activity for large companies, through media monitoring, and information on the financial sector.

Emails between the founder and Karl Rove, a senior advisor to George Bush, are among those released to date.

The cache also contains gossip between Stratfor staff, apparently originating from the 2008 presidential campaign of John McCain, that the senator was encouraged to take action against President Obama for alleged electoral fraud intwo states.

Coca-Cola also seemingly engage Stratfor for background research against Peta activists in Canada ahead of the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010.

The emails also often detail the inner workings of a company which has proved a subject of fascination for online activists keen to expose private sector intelligence providers.

UK and overseas military officials seem to be among the site's customers, indicating future releases may include more on such individuals. A Guardian analysis of records published after the original Anonymous attack revealed the email account details of 221 UK military staff and 242 Nato officials.

However, some of information in the emails appeared weaker than the site's release would suggest. Alleged tracking of activist and hoaxing group the Yes Men by Dow Chemicals appeared to amount to little more than


email monitoring.

Similarly, an email apparently giving Stratfor advanced warning of action by credit ratings agency Moody's in Ireland was instead from the independent analyst wing of the company – which is independent of the credit ratings side, and receives no information on its decisions ahead of time.

The emails published to date contain no redactions of information relating to individuals passing information to Stratfor, or anyone else, raising concern for the personal safety of some individuals in the cache.

One email, purportedly from a private security contractor, details an apparent assassination attempt on an individual in Libya, seemingly due to mistaken identity with a member of the country's transitional council.

The email details the surname of the targeted individual, and even coordinates of his house.

Key accounts linked to the Anonymous groupwere quick to support the WikiLeaks release after it was posted in the early hours of Monday morning, UK time.

One of the largest Anonymous-linked accounts on Twitter, @AnonymousIRC, put out a series of tweets within minutes seemingly confirming it was the source of the WikiLeaks release.

"We promised you those mails and now they'll finally be delivered. Five million (that's 5,000,000) emails at your pleasure," it said.

"There's a treasure trove of nasty details in those emails. We think there's something for everyone."

Stratfor released a statement condemning the release, but confirming it believed the emails were genuine and had originated from an attack on its servers.

"In December, thieves compromised Stratfor's data systems and stole a large number of company emails, along with other private information of Stratfor readers, subscribers and

In the video 10-16 Gillian Wearing recorded interviews with seven children between the ages of 10 and 16, then taped middle-aged actors lip synching the children’s voices. The children’s faces were not seen and the voice of a 10-year old boy describing his treehouse came from the mouth of a man reclining on a couch, while a 13-year old boy plotting the demise of his lesbian mother and her lover is portrayed by a naked dwarf in a bathtub. The final interview comes from a businessman who painfully relates a 16-year old’s sexual confusion and self-loathing.

As the subjects are real and the contrasting voices are perfectly lip-synched the effect is uncanny. We may feel unnerved but the work is very effective as we are confrontedof a murderer are transplanted onto a man who becomes a host to their murderous will.

“The oldest evidence of a fungus that turns ants into zombies and makes them stagger to their death has been uncovered by scientists.

The gruesome hallmark of the fungus’s handiwork was found on the leaves of plants that grew in Messel, near Darmstadt in Germany, 48m years ago.The finding shows that parasitic fungi evolved the ability to control the creatures they infect in the distant past, even before the rise of the Himalayas.

The fungus, which is alive and well in forests today, latches on to carpenter ants as they cross the forest floor before returning to their nests high in the canopy.

The fungus grows inside the ants and releases chemicals that affect their behaviour.


in the canopy or on the forest floor, but infected ants often die on leaves midway between the two, where the humidity and temperature suit the fungus. Once an ant has died, the fungus sprouts from its head and produces a pod of spores, which are fired at night on to the forest floor, where they can infect other ants.

Scientists led by Hughes noticed that ants infected with the fungus, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, bit into leaves with so much force they left a lasting mark. The holes created by their mandibles either side of the leaf vein are bordered by scar tissue, producing an unmistakable dumb-bell shape.

Writing in the journal, Biology Letters, the team describes how they trawled a database of images that document leaf damage by insects, fungithere not more of them?”

Scientists are not clear how the fungus controls the ants it infects, but know that the parasite releases alkaloid chemicals into the insect as it consumes it from the inside.”

David Cronenberg is a Canadian filmmaker and one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or venereal horror genre. This style of filmmaking explores people’s fears of bodily transformation and infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through horror and science fiction, although his work has since expanded beyond these genres. He has been called ” the most audacious and challenging narrative director in the English-speaking world.” His films generally involve the


horror caused by a mutation, by a parasite, or by particular medical conditions.
Over the arc of his career, Cronenberg’s films follow a definite progression, a movement from the social world to the inner life. In his early films, scientists modify human bodies, which results in the breakdown of social order (e.g. Shivers, Rabid). In his middle period, the chaos wrought by the scientist is more personal, (e.g. The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome). In the later period, the scientist himself is altered by his experiment (e.g. his remake of The Fly). This trajectory culminates in Dead Ringers in which a twin pair of gynecologists spiral into codependency and drug addiction. His later films tend more to the psychological, often contrasting subjective and objective realities.

(No charges were filed as a result of the investigations.)

“They’ve been dissuaded, or chilled, by some of the reaction to 2013 spending,” said Scott Levenson, the president and founder of the Advance Group, which ran an independent spending campaign against Christine C. Quinn, then the City Council speaker and the presumptive favorite for mayor. By that point, $780,000 had already been spent against her through the group known as New York City Is Not For Sale.

Beetles

Various beetles in the Bostrichoidea superfamily attack the dry, seasoned wood used as structural timber in houses and to make furniture. In most cases, it is the larvae that do the damage; these are invisible from the outside of the timber, but are chewing away at the wood in the interior of the item. Examples of these are the powderpost beetles, which attack the sapwood of hardwoods, and the furniture beetles, which attacks softwoods, including plywood. The damage has already been done by the time the adult beetles bore their way out, leaving neat round holes behind them. The firstSeptember

Epic Mickey 2, guided by the expertise of Warren Spector, constructs a world built from pieces of Disney history.

The story of Epic Mickey is pretty barebones. The Mad Doctor, who was supposedly defeated in the first game, returns to wreak more havoc on the Wasteland. Mickey is called to save the day again with his magic paintbrush, and Oswald comes along for the ride this time around. A game like this doesn't call for a complex narrative though. The simplicity is typical of any children's game and effectively opens the door for any range of imaginative level design. The story's cutscenes are also given an excellent shot in the arm with the addition of some excellent voice acting plus full-blown musical numbers to give the game a Disneyis the first one, because you are both in the same place.

Notice the use of the preposition to, as to go is a verb of movement and therefore it requires that preposition. But in the case of been, the preposition in can also be used when we want to enphasize the time spent in a place and not the fact of having been in that place. Compare:

My sister has gone to Australia. In fact, she's been in Australia for two weeks already.

My sister has been to Australia. She has just returned.

The following exercises will help you reinforce the difference between gone and been.

The 26th of December is known in Britain as Boxing Day. There are several theories regarding the origin of the name, but it's


Boxing Day to watch sports, play board games or even go out for a walk in the countryside if the weather is not too wet. It's also a day devoted to outdoor sports and fox hunting (though it's now forbidden to kill the fox in Scotland, England and Wales, there are some places where this tradition is still alive).

In recent years, people tend to go shopping on this day because it's the opening of the sales period and there are big discounts in clothes, shoes or electrical items, and it's becoming traditional to see big crowds gathering at the entrance of department stores waiting for the doors to open and pushing and fighting to get the best offers.

Senior Advisor to the Secretary

Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Interior

David Mihalic is serving as a Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Interior. The nature of his duties is unclear.

David Mihalic during “his 30-year career… held management positions for the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management.” While at the National Park Service, Mihalic held leadership roles including deputy superintendent of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, superintendent of Glacier National Park, and superintendent of Yosemite National Park. However, Mihalic “retired rather than accept a politically driven reassignment” in which the George W. Bush administration wanted him to “push through two contentious proposals” that posed environmental risks at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After leaving the National Park Service in 2003, Mihalic began working as a


Principal at Heritage Resources Group LLC, where he was a “management consultant and advisor in natural and cultural resource issues, especially in national park and world heritage site management and planning.” Since 2014, Mihalic has been an adjunct professor at Indiana University in Missoula, Montana where he has taught “Ecosystem Management & Park Partnerships and Fundraising/Development.”

Background Information

Previous Employers

David Mihalic started his career at the Bureau of Land Management and then moved to the National Park Service where, among other roles, he was the superintendent of Glacier and Yosemite National Parks.

David Mihalic, in the 1970s, worked “for the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska and Denver, Colo.”

During his time working for the National Park Service, David Mihalic worked as a ranger in Yellowstone National Park from 1976 to 1981,as a deputy superintendent at Great Smoky Mountains National Park from 1985 to 1988, as superintendent of Glacier National Park from 1994 to 1999, and as superintendent of Yosemite National Park from 1999 to 2002. Mihalic “was the personal choice of Bruce Babbitt, President Bill Clinton’s interior secretary” to be superintendent of Yosemite, one of the “most politicized and difficult jobs in the National Park Service.”

David Mihalic left the NPS when he was assigned to be superintendent of Great Smoky Mountains National Park because, he claimed, the George W. Bush administration was trying to get him to “push through two contentious proposals,” that posed environmental risks.

The George W. Bush administration, in 2002, picked David Mihalic to be the superintendent for Great Smoky Mountains National Park. However, Mihalic refused

Generally referred to as masking machines, the devices are available in a variety of sizes and configurations especially adapted for various uses. While having similar function, specifically the dispensing of tape and paper, and having commonly analogous components including a holder for a roll of tape, a holder for a roll or paper and a cutting edge for severing the tape and the paper, the various masking machines present exceedingly dissimilar appearances. The apron machine, for example, is usually a large, bulky, floor-supported apparatus. The hand held machine, on the other hand, is a relatively lightweight compact unit.
Exemplary of masking machines, and herein chosen for purposes of orientationof improper fit, either too loose or too tight, occurs in new rolls as a result of the inherent variance in the size of cores.
Observations of operators utilizing the machine has revealed other phenomena. For example, users frequently carry an additional roll of tape for periodic or continuous taping along the free edge of the paper sheet. Also, it is noted that the paper tension spring which insures even movement of the roll of paper and prevents inadvertent unrolling requires independent manual manipulation as the paper roll is installed upon the paper roll holder.
In view of the foregoing and other observations, experimentation has been conducted for the purpose of improving the referenced masking machine and other similar devices.

Shilyn Bradt, a 13-year-old who survived a severe gastrointestinal disease and multiple respiratory arrests at just weeks old, trains by boxing against a punching bag at Smitty's Midwest Boxing Gym in Springfield, Mo. on Feb. 4, 2016.
Bradt was born with pyloric stenosis, a disease normally found in male babies over 2 weeks old. It occurs when the muscle that controls flow of food from the stomach to the small intestine is enlarged, blocking food from reaching the intestine. It causes severe and constant vomiting, which can lead to dehydration and weight loss.

In addition to pyloric stenosis, Bradt contracted respiratory syncytial virus after receiving the surgery to fix her pyloric stenosis. The virus caused her to go into respiratory arrest 36 times. "All of her monitors would go offand she would just stop breathing," her mother, Heather Bradt-Kingsley, said. "You would hear it and you were jumping up and you're grabbing her and you're shaking the (...) out of her." Bradt is seen here working on back and abdomen exercises with the help of her mother at Smitty's Midwest Boxing Gym in Springfield, Mo. on Feb. 2, 2016.

Shilyn Bradt spars with Luis Velasquez at Smitty's Midwest Boxing Gym in Springfield, Mo. on Feb. 4, 2016. The only lingering effects from her past health struggles are having an inability to vomit or burp due to her stomach being tied around her esophagus, and a sharp pain if she ever takes a hit to what is now a long scar in her stomach. "Oh, gosh, it hurts a


lot," said Bradt. "I don't know how it's going to react if I get hit there too many times."

Despite the potential dangers, Shilyn keeps working towards a future career in boxing. "I want to make something of myself in boxing," said Bradt. "I don't want to be known as the person who had a couple fights, I want to be known as a champion."

Shilyn Bradt and her mother Heather Bradt-Kingsley work on Bradt's homework at their home in Springfield, Mo. on Feb. 9, 2016.
Through Shilyn's health struggles, Heather kept hope that her daughter would survive and grow up normally, which she is doing now.

Hull, Jr., appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry's decision. It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision, but Hull then installed a sixth member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame's favor. Hull later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burston-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time he has never spoken publicly about aspartame.

The pioneering trans activist Lorena Borjas sadly passed away at the age of 60 (Facebook/Samy Nemir Olivares)

The pioneering transgender activist Lorena Borjas has tragically passed away from coronavirus early on Monday morning.

Borjas, 60, was known as the mother of the trans Latinx community in Queens. As a survivor of human trafficking, she dedicated the past 30 years of her life to protecting other transgender victims of trafficking, slavery and violence.

A large number women she helped were immigrants who were excluded and stigmatised by their families. Borjas was known for hosting them in her own apartment until they were able to support themselves.

She spent years walking the streets and supporting others to escape abusive situations, providing condoms and food, connecting trans women to services and support, and even setto continue doing the work I do and help more vulnerable transgender women.”

Her sudden death has devastated the New York LGBT+ community, who are now paying their respects to the iconic activist.

“Lorena was one of the pioneer transgender advocates in the country, who helped thousand of undocumented people, sex workers, transgender people – and a mother to an entire community,” wrote Samy Nemir Olivares of Lambda Legal.

“ALL this work for decades while speaking only Spanish. She founded the Lorena Borjas Community Fund and took hundreds of transgender people out of jails and detention centres – often with her own money.

“Her legacy will live on in an entire generation that saw her humble and philanthropic work.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she was “heartbroken” by the news of Borjas’ death.

Drogba of course needs no introduction.

When he came to the end of his previous contract in 2012 it was only weeks after he had stroked the ball from the penalty spot into the Bayern Munich net to place Chelsea on top of the European summit for the first time.

His earlier equalising header in that Champions League final was his 157th goal in 341 appearances, a total placing him fourth in the club's all-time highest-scorer list.

On signing his contract, Drogba said: ‘It was an easy decision - I couldn't turn down the opportunity to work with Jose again. Everyone knows the special relationship I have with this club and it has always felt like home to me.

‘My desire to win is still the same and I look forward tothe opportunity to help this team. I am excited for this next chapter of my career.’

Jose Mourinho said: ‘He’s coming because he’s one of the best strikers in Europe. I know his personality very well and I know if he comes back he’s not protected by history or what he’s done for this club previously. He is coming with the mentality to make more history.’

His 34 goals in European competition remains a Chelsea record, as do his nine strikes in nine cup finals.

During the Ivorian’s first eight years with the club, he won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups as well as the Champions League triumph. He has been named Chelsea's Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year and has won


the Premier League Golden Boot twice.

Since leaving Chelsea in 2012, he has played for Shanghai Shenhua and Galatasaray, memorably making a return to Stamford Bridge last season when we beat the Turkish club in the Champions League Round of 16.

He has continued his international career and appeared in all three of Ivory Coast’s games at the World Cup, taking his caps total to 104 with 64 goals scored.Transgender exec remembered as a role model Entrepreneur was open about transgender life

McGuire, who ran for Houston City Council, is dead at 68

In a city with more than its share of true characters, Charles/Kathryn Leigh McGuire may have been in a larger-than-life league of his own. And hers.

Born Charles R. McGuire Jr. on Nov. 26, 1942, McGuire started a successful Houston construction materials company, bought a home on the edge of River Oaks,


married and raised two children before longstanding issues of sexual identity led her first to life as a transvestite and ultimately to sexual reassignment surgery in 1992, after which she adopted the name Kathryn.

McGuire, who died on Feb. 2 in Palm Springs, Calif., at 68, was active in Houston society and never self-conscious about her gender-bending ways as she moved from hyper-masculine entrepreneur who liked to go hunting to an oversize figure in pumps who prowled the couture racks at Neiman Marcus, friends said.

If there is a common refrain among those describing McGuire, it is unforgettable.

"She had a great light around her, an aura," said local filmmaker Brian Huberman, whose documentary The Last Days of Charles/Kathryn chronicled McGuire's sexual reassignment surgery.

"It's like with actors. Some are simply actorsand some are movie stars. She was a star. She wanted to be in the foreground. She was not shy and not ashamed in any way. Her desire to be filmed in this very personal, private way was evidence of that. There's something really courageous about someone ... who will walk out into the limelight and say here I am, with no apologies."

Serious intent

McGuire became known to many Houstonians in the late 1980s and early '90s through numerous appearances on the Stevens and Pruett show on radio station KLOL. McGuire accepted the barbs, funny comments and odd listener phone calls with grace, but her purpose in openly discussing the desire to become a woman in the physical sense was serious, said Lanny Griffith, the news and traffic reporter


on the show.

"He was such a role model for those who felt the same way," Griffith said. "I really think he saved lives. He gave them a measure of comfort by talking about who he was and the way he felt. There wasn't any sadness about him. I think he inspired hope in many people who were feeling like outcasts, shunned by society — people who didn't belong."

She had a longstanding interest in the Houston social scene, donating money to numerous causes and enjoying any mention of her presence at an event in newspaper society columns.

She endured a four-year government price-fixing investigation that included county officials and various companies, including her M&C Consolidated, that she claimed was pursued in part because of her lifestyle. She invited a filmmakerto do a documentary on her sex-change operation. She ran for Houston City Council in 1989 — acknowledging her status as a transvestite and receiving 8 percent of the vote.

Joy to be around

Attorney Joel Androphy, who represented McGuire during the lengthy price-fixing and corruption investigation that produced no indictments, remembered her as a joy to be around and the center of attention wherever she went.

Androphy still recalls the day he watched McGuire adopt her toughest business attitude over the phone while sitting at her desk in a long dress.

"He was a great guy to me and a great gal to my wife," Androphy said. "He would invite us to various social and black-tie events, and sometimes we would go with him to clubs on lower Westheimer. This was


before the operation, when he was an open transvestite. He enjoyed living two different lives. That's what made him happy."

In a 1999 interview, however, McGuire said it was really only the female version of herself that she found satisfying.

"That wasn't me," McGuire told the Houston Press about her male persona. "That was just a shell I was in, or an image I was projecting to make everybody happy."

Left Houston

Ultimately, after the surgery, McGuire left town for good, first for Europe, then New Jersey, and finally California. The cause of death is unknown.

McGuire had recently undergone surgery after complications from a car accident. Autopsy results are pending.

McGuire is survived by son James, daughter Barbara, and two grandchildren.

James McGuire, a playwright, gave his father a bit of immortality when hewrote an autobiographical play about their relationship, Daddy Kathryn.

Never one to miss a good party, the older McGuire showed up for opening night, fashionable as ever in a red dress with black collars at the wrist and neckline, a diamond bracelet and 3-inch heels. By all accounts, she was the center of attention.

"He loved all kinds of attention, and I mean that in a good way," James McGuire said. "He was a wonderful man and a wonderful woman. He was a nonconformist who was able to create his own life and who lived it free of judgment."

Sri Lanka’s rehabilitated ex-combatants struggle to adjust

Rasalingam Sivakumar, a former LTTE combatant, struggles to look after his wife and children

PUTUKKUDIYIRUPPU, 4 July 2014 (IRIN) - Five years after the end of a 26-year civil war, most former combatants from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in northern Sri Lanka have been rehabilitated and re-entered civilian life, but whether war-disabled or not, many are finding genuine integration difficult, according to rehabilitees, government officials and humanitarian workers.

After the war ended in 2009, former fighters were required to complete a roughly two-year rehabilitation programme if they wished to receive general amnesty; if they did not, they faced terrorism charges.

More than 11,800 former LTTE fighters, many of whom were forcibly conscripted by the rebels, have been rehabilitated through government-sponsored programmes thatincluded vocational skills training such as mechanical skills, information technology, agriculture, animal husbandry, food processing, education, handicrafts, carpentry and construction, as well as psychosocial support and a mentorship system focused on conflict resolution and emotional resilience.

As of June 2014, only 132 former LTTE cadres from around 12,000 that either surrendered or were arrested in the north soon after the war ended in May 2009 were still in custody/rehabilitation, the government said.

“The rehabilitees’ main concern right now is economic independence and acquiring a position where they can live a normal life,” M. S. M. Kamil, head of the Economic Security Department at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Sri Lanka, told IRIN.

The ICRC gave grants of up to Rs 50,000 (US$384) to 373 rehabilitated former cadres in 2013 and plans to assist 150 more this year.

After small manipulation a life-sized location or subject looks like a miniature-scale…to the U.S. Embassy in Berlin is particularly jarring because the ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, is spearheading an administration push to end the criminalization of homosexuality in roughly 70 countries that still outlaw it, as NBC News first reported in February. Grenell, the most senior openly gay person in Trump's administration, has secured support for that campaign from both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

"The President's recognition of Pride Month and his tweet encouraging our decriminalization campaign gives me even more pride to once again march in the Berlin Pride parade, hang a huge banner on the side of the Embassy recognizing our pride, host multiple events at the Embassy and the residence, and fly the gay pride flag," Grenell said Friday in a statement to NBC


News.

Asked specifically whether the embassy will fly the flag on its flagpole outside the building, just steps from the iconic Brandenburg Gate, embassy spokesman Joseph Giordono-Scholz said only: "The pride flag will be on as many places as it can at the Embassy."

In Germany, pride celebrations continue into the month of July for a European LGBTQ event known as Christopher Street Day that occurs on different days in various parts of Europe.

Numerous embassies are displaying the pride flag this month in other ways, including the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, which put up a large rainbow banner on the side of the building. It's unclear whether other embassies may be flying the flag on their flagpoles without having sought permission from Washington.

The news comes as pride celebrations are set to take place in Washington over the weekend, with WorldPride taking place in the U.S. for the first time this year, throughout June in New York.

The Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) footbridge will be closed to all pedestrian traffic from March 3-17. Alternate pedestrian river crossings are located at the Hancher footbridge to the north, or Iowa Avenue to the south. This closure is necessary to construct a temporary ramp to the IMU footbridge.

Pedestrians should also be aware that additional sidewalk closures/detours will be in place along the east side of the Iowa River near Danforth Chapel and the IMU through the remainder of February continuing until mid March. People should follow detour signs and allow extra time to reach their destination. These modifications are necessaryman atop Fueling U.S. Forward?

Queen Elizabeth caught mother out after gin drinking

Queen Elizabeth once caught her mother out after she'd secretly sunk four bottles of gin.

Queen Elizabeth once caught her mother out after she'd been secretly drinking gin.

Queen Elizabeth

Ballet dancer Wayne Sleep recalled being at Clarence House when the 91-year-old monarch discovered four empty bottles of the alcohol after they had been drunk by the Queen Mother, who passed away in 2002 aged 101.

Speaking on 'Celebrity Big Brother', he said: "I think some delegate from Ghana was over and invited to Clarence House.

"And the queen came along, just the three of them, and she went, 'What would you like?' She said, 'I'd like a gin and tonic'.

"She said, 'no worries at all'. Opened the cupboards. There were four empty gin bottles thereand she turned and went, 'Mummy!'

"That was the queen with the Queen Mother. 'Mummy.' Empties."

In April, Major Colin Burgess, who was the Queen Mother's equerry for two years, revealed she was "far from being an alcoholic" but did love "social drinking", and used to have her first beverage of the day at noon.

He recalled: "What was memorable was her fondness for red wine, particularly heavy clarets, which she loved. We must have got through a bottle- and-a-half at that first meeting.

"Following my appointment, I discovered the Queen Mother's pattern of drinking rarely varied. At noon, she had her first drink of the day - a potent mix of two parts of the fortified wine Dubonnet to one part of gin.

"This was followed by red wine with lunch and,


very occasionally, a glass of port to end it. Later came the ritual observed at 6pm, deemed the earliest acceptable time for an evening drink.

"'Colin, are we at the magic hour?' the Queen Mother would invariably ask, and I'd mix her a Martini. After a couple of these, she would sit down to dinner and drink one or two glasses of pink champagne."Investigators in Florida say they have made no arrests in the death of troubled rapper-singer XXXTentacion.

In what proved to be an intriguing tactical battle between two nations with contrasting styles, we learned an awful lot about Germany and Argentina as the 2014 World Cup came to a close.

Here are three things we learned from the final, as Germany became the new World Cup champions.

Higuain, Messi, fluff their lines

In the first half, Higuain could have put Argentina 2-0 up as the Albiceleste came racing out of the traps. However, the man who clinically fired Argentina past Belgium in the quarterfinals and has been so clutch for club and country in the past fluffed his lines. Massively. First of all he was let in over the top but shanked an effort wide after five minutes, then in the 22nd minute he put another effort wideafter Toni Kroos‘ poor header played him in. It just wasn’t Higuain’s day as he was taken out by Manuel Neuer in the second half, and somehow a free kick was given against him. Then he was substituted. Lionel Messi, despite winning the Golden Ball award for the best player of the tournament, failed to score a single goal in the knockout stages of the World Cup and once again vanished in the final for large swathes. Messi’s big chance arrived just after the break as Lucas Biglia played him in, but the Barcelona star dragged his effort wide of the far post. Apart from a few darting runs and curling efforts from distance, Messi wandered around in the middle and looked extremely lethargic in the closing stages.


any game. Biglia and Javier Mascherano sat in front of the back four expertly and stereotypically snapped away at Germany’s midfield. Mascherano was simply wonderful. His timely interceptions stopped Germany’s flow time and time again and the amount of challenges he snapped into was essential in the engine room. He cajoled his side into action and was the lynchpin of Argentina’s defensive display. As for Germany, Manuel Neuer won the Golden Glove award as he kept four clean sheets and only conceded four goals in seven games throughout the entire tournament. The experience of defenders Philipp Lahm, Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels proved the difference as Germany shut the Argentine’s out in the final.

Samuel Morin recently finished up his last season with Rimouski Oceanic on quite a run, as he -- and the team -- fell just short of a Memorial Cup victory after capturing the QMJHL's President's Cup. Offensive numbers aside (and one could say those were affected by a prolonged absence from a jaw injury), there was a lot to like about Morin's play from a "tools" standpoint. He's got the size, the reach, the physicality and the aggressive nature to amplify all three in that skill set.

But -- as we have all found out -- most of the talk centered around Sam Morin so far has been about what he's destined to do as a professional player, and not necessarily

And yet, I can't help but think that out of the three defensive prospects in the Flyers' pool expected to play with the Flyers or Phantoms in 2015, Morin's got the lowest chance of hanging around with the big club -- for this coming season. Shayne Gostisbehere and Robert Hagg have already played some form of professional hockey, and, while Gostisbehere is essentially starting over after a debilitating knee injury, there's reasons why he's already made the jump. He's able to provide a skill set the Flyers, up until this point, have been sorely lacking.

These three floods collectively killed millions and are considered to be the three deadliest floods in history and among the most destructive natural disasters ever recorded.

Britannica Quiz History Makers: Fact or Fiction? Winston Churchill was a cabinet member in two world wars.

The Huang He, which has a length of 3,395 miles (5,464 km), is the main river of northern China, rising in the eastern Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai province in the west of the country and flowing generally east until it empties into the Bo Hai (Gulf of Chihli), an embayment of the Yellow Sea. The river takes its name from


the large amounts of fine yellow sediment (loess) colouring its water. The extensive silt deposition in the river’s lower reaches across the North China Plain and the expansive stretches of flat land surrounding it have always made the area extremely prone to flooding. As the world’s most heavily silted river, the Huang He is estimated to have flooded some 1,500 times since the 2nd century bce, causing unimaginable death and devastation.

The most destructive of these floods occurred in August 1931, when 34,000 square miles (88,000 square km) of land were completely inundated, and approximately 8,000 square miles (21,000 square km) more were partially flooded, leaving 80 million people homeless. The estimates of the number of people killed by the flood (and the ensuing disease and famine) range from850,000 to 4,000,000, making it by most estimates the deadliest natural disaster in recorded history. An earlier flood in September–October 1887 is thought to have killed 900,000 to 2,000,000 residents; a third, on June 9, 1938, was responsible for 500,000 to 900,000 deaths. The 1938 flood was caused by the destruction of the dikes near Kaifeng (Henan province) by Chinese Nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-shek in an effort to halt the advance of the invading Japanese troops during the Sino-Japanese War of 1937–45. The dikes were rebuilt in 1946–47, and the river was rediverted to its former course so that it again emptied into the Bo Hai.

Throughout most of its history, China has attempted to control the Huang He by building overflow channels and increasingly taller dikes, and


with directions that the hearing officer make further findings as set forth in the Order of Remand.
Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) owns a paper and pulp mill in Lowndes County, Georgia. PCA uses large volumes of water and wastewater from the process is discharged. The wastewater (which includes sewage from toilets at the mill) receives primary treatment in a clarifier tank, and then moves through a series of ponds. The wastewater enters Jumping Gully Creek, which flows across the state line to the Withlacoochee River. In 1991, the 0.6 mile reach of *370 the creek from the state line to the river was classified under Florida law as a Class III water. The mill wastewater in the creek did not comply with the newly-applicable water quality standards.
PCA soughta permit to construct and operate a pipeline running parallel to the creek to convey wastewater from the mill to the existing discharge point in the river. The purpose of the pipeline was to allow the creek to achieve compliance with Class III water quality standards. PCA also sought a 27-month variance from the water quality standard for transparency in the river to allow time to install water color treatment technology. The Department issued a notice of intent to grant the permit and variance. Challengers of the permit petitioned for a formal hearing, which was conducted before a hearing officer from the Division of Administrative Hearings.
After the Department and PCA had filed a proposed recommended order, the challengers filed a Request for Official Recognition. The challengers asked the


by the tips of said blade) being perpendicular to the general thrust generated by the main rotor. This general thrust of the main rotor may then be resolved into a vertical lift force and a horizontal force that serves to cause the rotary wing aircraft to move in translation.
Consequently, the main rotor serves to provide the rotary wing aircraft both with lift and with propulsion.
Furthermore, by controlling the shape and the angle of inclination of the rotor cone relative to the frame of reference associated with the rotary wing aircraft, a pilot can direct said aircraft accurately.
In order to act on the rotor cone, the rotor disk is tilted relative to the drive plane of the main rotor, which drive plane is perpendicular to the mast of theazimuth angle, and during one complete revolution it passes between a maximum value and a minimum value, which values are obtained at opposite azimuth angles.
Cyclic variation of the pitch of the blades gives rise to cyclic variation in the thrust from the blades and thus to tilting of the rotor cone. By causing the pitch of the blades to vary cyclically, the pilot controls movement of the aircraft in translation and also controls its attitude as required for controlling it, under the effect of roll and pitching moments that are induced by the general thrust.
The device for performing these collective and cyclic variations of the pitch of the blades, and thus enabling the attitude, the lift, and the movement in translation of the aircraft to be controlled, is


generally referred to by the person skilled in the art as the primary flight control or “PFC”.
Furthermore, a rotary wing aircraft in flight generates a large amount of noise and vibration, in particular as a result of rotation of the blades and the main rotor assembly. For example, while the aircraft is descending, the turbulence generated by the end of a blade lies on the path of the following blade, with which it comes into collision accompanied by a characteristic slapping sound, constituting a source of noise and vibration.
Furthermore, high levels of vibration can also be generated by the main rotor if an unbalance appears in the rotor. In general, unbalance appears on a rotating element when the center of gravity of that element is not positioned onmust be in a precise position, e.g. relative to the pitch axis of the blade. Any offset in this position of the center of gravity of the blade and consequently any offset in the center of gravity of the main rotor including the blade affects both the operation of the blade and the comfort of the aircraft, considerable amounts of unbalance and vibration potentially being generated in the main rotor.
In addition, the actuator controlling the flaps, such as a piston and cylinder, has a movable portion, and as a result the center of gravity of the actuator moves a little while it is in use. Because of this, integrating actuators in blades adds elements that need to be taken into account when balancing a blade, and in particular

The Black Death

In October of 1347, The Black Death first arrived in Europe via trade ships returning from Asia. To the horror of those greeting the returned, almost everyone on the ship was dead or quite close to it (History.com Staff). The cause? Infected rats that acted as stowaways on the ship. The rats served as vectors which were immune to the Yesinia Pestis (the bacteria), but still had the ability to transfer the bacteria to different organisms. Flees on the ship bit the rats, and ingested the bacteriawhich in turn caused them to lose their ability to swallow. Once an inflicted flee bit a human, they threw up the contaminated rats blood, which therefore infected the human with the plague (History.com Staff). Once a human became infected, their future was not bright; their lymph nodes swelled and suffered through intense flu like symptoms, and in a matter of days, the illness usually resulted in death. The disease is highly contagious, and the animal vectors furthered the spread throughout Europe via trade ships. Poor sanitary conditions and overpopulation in cities contributed to the spread of the disease. In just 5 years, over 20 million people died which amounted to a drop in almost 2/3rds of the European population (History.com Staff).

The Great (antibiotic) Acceleration

Luckily today, modern antibiotics


last 50 years. In 2012 the number of people riding airplanes has increased 10 fold since 1950, from 31 million to 3,000 million (Supriya Kumar). The average flight length doubled since 1950, representing the increase in international flights. Freight transport has increased as well, with a 71% increase from 2001 to 2007(Supriya Kumar). All of this is to say the increase in flight travel makes it much simpler for a pathogen or vector to travel from one continent to the next, as they can do so in a matter of hours. Thousands of international flights take off daily, making the international spread of an outbreak highly likely given the amount of air traffic each day.

Voters face raft of referendums

Tax rates, power rates among ballot questions

Ogle County voters will decide numerous referendums, including a sales tax increase and a concealed carry recommendation, in Tuesday’s consolidated election.

A total of 13 questions are on ballots across the county.

Voters will also choose officials for cities and villages, townships, school districts, community college districts, regional school boards, park districts, library


districts, and fire districts.

Two referendums are countywide: to establish a 1 percent sales tax for schools, and to allow “electrical aggregation” in unincorporated areas of the county. Voters also will get to decide on tax increases for the Oregon Library District and Stillman Valley Schools.

The county referendum on electrical aggregation asks voters whether they want to pool their purchasing power and have the county board negotiate for a better electricity rate. That question affects county residents who live outside municipalities. The same referendum was rejected by voters last March.

Since then, however, several townships and a village have approved referendums for electrical aggregation, joining other communities that already had the practice in place.

Municipal electrical aggregation gives municipalities, townships, or counties the authority to negotiate for the purchase of theberth.

With Matt Scott and Gavin Cooper successfully returning from injury and Johnathan Thurston and Taumalolo in peak form, the Cowboys deserve to be rated premiership contenders.

Coach Paul Green revealed their turn-around was in part


total disability. The Commissioner further found that he was unable to determine the extent of the claimant's temporary disability after July 25, 1950 and his permanent partial disability and left these questions open for determination either by agreement or upon further hearing. On September 12, 1951 the claimant made his application for a further hearing "to determine the amounts due to him by reason of his total disability or permanent partial disability after July 25, 1950." This application was apparently not vigorously pressed for no hearing was had until February 8, 1953.
In his findings made September 18, 1953, the Commissioner stated that payments for compensation due claimant and for medical and hospital expenses from date of accident to April 2, 1951 had been paid. The Commissioner further found514, 518, 519, 129 A. 168. The claimant claims, on the facts in this case, he is totally disabled under the foregoing rule.
From the evidence the jury, acting reasonably, could have found that claimant's injuries consisted of two fractures of the pelvis, a fracture of a bone in his right hand, contusions of the back and some injury to his nose. Subsequently a bump formed on his right hip. The claimant was hospitalized October 24, 1949 the day of his accidentand was discharged January 6, 1950. Ever since his discharge from the hospital the claimant has, without letup, suffered pain of varying degrees of intensity in his back, in both hips and in his right leg from the groin to the knee. This pain causes claimant discomfort when


walking, when bending, when sitting and when lying down and interferes with his sleeping. The claimant worked for the Randolph Furniture Company from April 2, 1951 through October 3, 1951 for ninety cents an hour for a forty hour week with time and a half for overtime. During the twenty-seven weeks the claimant worked there were seven weeks in which he worked less than forty hours and twenty weeks in which he worked overtime. The claimant's overtime amounted to 71.4 hours, his time lost amounted to 56.9 hours. On October 3, 1951, the claimant was operated on for cancer of the large intestine and on October 18, 1951, reoperated on. On October 27, 1951, a hemotoma was incised and the claimant was operated on for a fecal fistula.The claimant was discharged from the hospital on November 20, 1951. In March or April the claimant obtained a job scaling lumber for the Randolph Furniture Company but he never started work because the Furniture Company went into receivership. During the summer of 1952 the claimant applied for work at the L. W. Webster Co. in Randolph but was advised they were not hiring anyone. Later the claimant had enquiries made to see if he could obtain work at the Cone Automatic in Windsor and was told he couldn't. The claimant applied for unemployment compensation and told the unemployment agency that if they got him a job he would take it. No job was ever offered. In May, 1953 the claimant worked at the Randolph hospital washing windows.


On July 1, 1953 the claimant bid off a job carrying mail between the railroad station and the post office in Randolph. At the time of the trial below the claimant was working at this job and he was also working at Fritzel's in Randolph assembling toys. The work at Fritzel's was expected to end in about a week. The claimant has an arthritic condition of long standing which was lighted up by his accident but which is not attributable to his accident. His arthritis has progressed to a point where it is a contributing factor to his present disability. The claimant is one hundred per cent disabled so far as doing heavy work steadily is concerned. He can do light work but probably not without some painTarget Secures Asian Deal for ‘Horrid Henry’

London-based rights management group Target Entertainment has signed new broadcast deals for Novel Entertainment’s Horrid Henry, including a prestigious Asian deal following ATF.

Cartoon Network has picked up the first two seasons of Henry for its Asia Pacific region, which includes Australia and New Zealand, China and India. Additionally, Icelandic public broadcaster RUV has re-upped by nabbing season 3, while YLE Finland has acquired season two.

Adapted from the best-selling books, Horrid Henry (156 x 11; 52 episodes per season) stars an iconic anti-hero who does all the wonderfully mischievous things most children on dream about. The show targets 6 to 9 year olds and is the most successful show ever on CiTV. The books by Francesca Simon are published in over 28 countries


and three non-EU states are taking part but the absence of Turkey at the summit has been questioned.

"Today the discussion will be among the countries along the corridor of the refugee flows," said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

"But everybody knows at the end of the corridor there is an entrance."

The draft leaked ahead of the meeting calls for the "gradual and controlled" movement of people through the migration route.

It also proposes to bolster EU patrols at Greece's borders and to send 400 extra guards to Slovenia.

In double-pancake winding, two pancakes are formed. After completion of the first pancake, the conductor is wound along the axis at the outermost turn to start the second pancake next to the first. For the second pancake, the conductor spirals inward to the core, one turn nested within another. It can readily be seen that the double-pancake can also be wound starting from the outermost turn of the first pancake first spiralling inward, winding along the axis at the innermost turn to start the second pancake, then spiralling outward. Depending on the allowability of joints, it may be convenient to wind individual double pancakes or even pancakes separately (by spiralling inward or by spiralling outward or one of each),

If the bike has rear suspension, then the extra weight carried by the rear wheel (due to weight transfer) tends to cause the rear suspension to compress. Weight transfer is unavoidable during acceleration, and occurs equally with all suspended and non-suspended vehicles undergoing acceleration.

Pedal bob reduces the efficiency of, or interferes with, a rider's pedal stroke—especially when climbing up steep hills.        Pedal feedback, or chainstay lengthening, refers to torque applied to the crankset by the chain caused by motion of the rear
