by the Court in favour of the grants then before them, had they come within the *404 rules and principles on which the Court made the distinctive line between the different kinds of treaties.
But when we apply them to the grant in the present case, it is a matter of much surprise, that there could exist a doubt of its validity. Independently of the treaty, it was protected by the law of conquest, military occupation, cession, or relinquishment; independently, too, of any of these considerations, the property of the plaintiff in the land granted, was protected by the acts of the United States, under which their military occupation or acquisition begun and was continued. And, independently of all other considerations, it was protected by the stipulations of atreaty of cession, amity, settlement, and limits, every clause whereof was accepted, ratified, and confirmed by the treaty-making power of the United States, and proclaimed as binding on them, by its constitutional effect.
At the same term in which Harcourt vs. Gaillard, and Henderson vs. Poindexter were decided, the case of Delacroix vs. Chamberlain, came up; the controversy arose on a concession of land in the disputed territory; and as the opinion of the Court, taken in connection with the two preceding cases, and the case of Canter. 1 Peters, 542, decided at the next term, is of decisive bearing on this case, it is given at large.
"The concession referred to in the bill of exceptions, is upon its face, not a grant, nor a survey, but it is,


as is expressed in the bill of exceptions, only a warrant or order of survey, authorizing the deputy surveyor to make a survey, and to report to the intendant the survey when made, in order to found a grant upon it. The order of survey bears date the  day of ____, 1806. At that date, the Spanish authorities were in the actual possession of Mobile, where the land lies; and they claimed it as part of the Floridas, then belonging to the Spanish crown. The United States claimed it as part of Louisiana. But it is not necessary to investigate these conflicting claims. The United States have since obtained the Floridas by purchase and cession from Spain, without having previously settled the controverted boundary between the Floridasas claimed by Spain, and Louisiana as claimed by the United States. A question of disputed boundary between two sovereign, independent nations, is, indeed, much more properly a subject of diplomatic discussion and of treaty, than of judicial investigation. If the United States and Spain had settled their dispute by treaty, before the United States extinguished the claim of Spain to the Floridas, the boundary thus fixed would have concluded all parties. But as that was not done, the United States have never, as far as we can discover, distinguished between the concessions of land made by the Spanish authorities within the disputed territory, while Spain was in the actual possession of it, from concessions of a similar character made by Spain within the acknowledged limits. We will


would maintain an action of ejectment. Was it a perfect, legal estate; was it a title according to the Spanish law which prevailed at Mobile at the time it was made? We apprehend not."
"It shows upon its face that other acts of sovereignty remained to be done to perfect the title, and which the sovereign power might withhold. A survey was to be made; and according to the laws and usages of Spain, a formal grant was to be made in such cases, to complete the title.
"It may be admitted that the United States were bound in good faith by the terms of the treaty of cession, by which they acquired the Floridas, to confirm such concessions as had been made by warrants of survey; yet it wouldnot follow, that the legal title would be perfected until confirmation. The government of the United States has throughout acted upon a different principle, in relation to these inchoate rights, in all their acquisitions of territory, whether from Spain or France. Whilst the government has admitted its obligation to confirm such inchoate rights or concessions as had been fairly made, it has maintained that the legal title has remained in the United States, until by some act of confirmation it was passed or relinquished to the claimants. It has maintained its right to prescribe the forms and the manner of proceeding in order to obtain a confirmation, and its right to establish tribunals to investigate and pronounce upon their validity." Ibid. "This is demonstrated by the laws which


the legal estate, and duly recorded, there could have remained no doubt that the plaintiff would have recovered, as his case came within every principle of the preceding cases of Harcourt vs. Gaillard, Henderson vs. Poindexter, of which the leading one is this: that "all the acts of Congress on the subject of grants within the disputed territory, under the compact with Georgia, presuppose the validity of *406 those which were legally and fully executed before the 25th October, 1795." 12 Wheat. 528, 529. 536. The articles with Georgia were in themselves a confirmation of titles within its provisions, (539;) protected by them, (540;) and confirmed by them. And by the acts of 1819 and 1822, perfect grants were expressly recognised as complete titles.
If these opinions of thisrendered whilst the country, although ceded, was de facto in the possession of Spain, and subject to Spanish laws. Such judgments, so far as they affect the private rights of the parties thereto, must be deemed valid.
"This view of the case supersedes the necessity of considering the question of prescription." 8 Peters, 310.
This Spanish tribunal, it must be remembered, was the governor of the province, acting in his judicial capacity, in which he had power by the Spanish law to order a sale of land; which passed the title of the proprietor to the purchaser, on the execution of a deed, which was deemed the strongest and safest conveyance known to the jurisprudence of Spain. In his political capacity, the same governor had power to dispose of the


royal domain, and to make valid grants thereof, which conferred a perfect right of property in the lands so granted. It would therefore be a nove principle in American jurisprudence, if while this governor, by judleial power, could transfer the property of A. to B., he yet could not by political power, so far dispose of the public domain as to bind the king, in whose name and by whose authority he acted as his direct representative; or even affect his conscience as a trustee, in virtue of the grant, to the grantee. And if the king was so bound by a perfect grant, or became a trustee by a mere concession or order of survey, the United States succeeded to the obligation of the king to perfectnations, according to the law of the territory, though no stipulation is contained in the act of cession or relinquishment; and even in case of conquest, no other change is effected except as to government: and that when a stipulation for property is required, it is never refused; and when made, is sacredly observed. But when, by a treaty or compact, one nation or state admits the original right of the other to the disputed territory, without any stipulation in favour of the inhabitants, as to lands held by grant under the party which admits the right of the other, the treaty binds their rights, and the grants are not valid against the party whose original right is acknowledged. S.P. 11 Peters, 209, 210.
Delacroix vs. Chamberlain established the


to lands, arising on Spanish grants in the disputed territory, between 1803 and 1810, were of a political, and not judicial character; depending on the construction of the Louisiana treaty, as to its eastern boundary. But no such principle is to be found in the opinion: the question of boundary is taken to be settled, and not open to judicial inquiry; yet all other questions affecting the validity of the grant, are throughout considered as open and of judicial cognisance: had boundary and title been considered to be identical, the Court would have been saved from the labour which they took, to show that the title was invalid on other grounds; for when the Perdido was taken as the true boundary, all grants west of it were consequentlyof the acts of 1824 or 1836.
It is somewhat remarkable, that there is no one opinion of this Court, or any of its members, which even questions any one principle of the law of nations, as laid down in the cases of Harcourt vs. Gaillard, Henderson vs. Poindexter, Insurance Company vs. Canter, United States vs. Soulard, Arredondo, Percheman, Delassus, Mitchell, Strother vs. Lucas, and Rhode Island vs. Massachusetts; in the latter of which these principles are reiterated. "There are two principles of the law of nations, which would protect them, (the inhabitants of a disputed territory,) in their property. 1. That grants by a government de facto, of parts of a disputed territory in its possession, are valid against the state which had the right. 2. That when


disputed territory, by a government de facto, in possession, are valid.
The same error appears to have occurred in the view which is taken of the opinion in Foster and Elam, in the passages extracted from it, in 12 Peters, 517  519, and in the same manner  by not carefully and closely examining the immediate context. Thus the long extract from 2 Peters, 309, when referred to the preceding sentence, relates solely to "acts of sovereign power," by the United States, before the ratification of the treaty, and to acts done in virtue of the treaty of 1803 alone, and to boundary, as the only political question involved in that case. So as to the passages extracted in 12 Peters, 518, 519, from 2 Peters, 311. 313.the broad field of investigation, which became opened by the course of the argument, and the nature of the case in 12 Peters, 515.
On a comparison of the compact between Tennessee and Kentucky, with the treaty of 1819, the contrast between them is striking. By the former, Tennessee admitted, in the most solemn form, the original right of Kentucky; while in the latter, neither party admitted the previous right of the other, but, as held in Foster and Elam, (2 Peters, 310,) each had uniformly and perseveringly insisted on their respective rights. The Court also held, that "it is then a fair inference from the language of the treaty, that he (the king) did not mean to retrace his steps, and relinquish his pretensions; but to cede, on


compacts between nations or states; and in the whole course of adjudication on these subjects, the Court has decided with perfect uniformity and consistency, from 1827 till 1838, on all titles in the various territories acquired by the United States in 1802, 1803, and 1821.
In doing so, the Court have taken no new ground, but have followed in the old and beaten path, trodden first by the Federal Court of Appeals, in 1781, and pursued by this tribunal from its first organization.
4. In Miller vs. Miller, the case arose on articles of capitulation, and the Court held, that the case must be decided by the resolves and ordinances of Congress, when they applied; when they were silent, by the laws, usages, and practice of nations; and that aand hazard to his power." 8 Wheat. 590.
"The Constitution of the United States declares a treaty to be the supreme law of the land. Of consequence, its obligation on the Courts of the United States must be admitted.
"It is certainly true, that the execution of a contract between nations, is to be demanded from, and generally superintended by the executive of each nation, &c. But where a treaty is the law of the land, and, as such, affects the rights of parties litigant in Court, that treaty as much binds their rights, and is as much to be regarded by the Court, as an act of Congress; and on this principle it was held, that a stipulation in a treaty that property `shall be' restored, operated as an


immediate restoration, and annulled a judgment of condemnation previously made." United States vs. The Peggy, 1 Cranch, 109, 110.
The fourth article of the treaty of peace with Great Britain, in 1783, stipulated that creditors shall meet with no lawful impediment to the recovery of debts. The sixth article stipulated, that there "shall be" no future confiscations, and that persons in confinement "shall be" immediately set at liberty, and prosecutions commenced be discontinued. The ninth article of the treaty of 1794 stipulated, that British subjects, &c., "shall continue to hold lands," &c.
In Ware vs. Hylton, it was held, that the treaty of peace repealed and nullified all state laws, by its own operation, revived the debt, removed all lawful impediments, and was a supreme law, which overrules all stateCourt, in giving effect to the treaty of 1803, decided directly in contradiction to several acts of Congress, which were unequivocal in their character, asserting the right of the United States to the land in controversy, and granting parts thereof in fee, notwithstanding the admission of the city authorities of the right of the United States, (10 Peters, 735;) thus practically adopting the principles laid down in New Orleans vs. De Armas, in 9 Peters, 234  236; and deciding according to Spanish law.
In Green vs. Biddle it was held, that by the principles of general law, independent of a compact, the titles to real estate can be determined only by the laws of the state under which they were acquired. Every government has, and from the nature


of sovereignty must have, the exclusive right of distribution and grants of the public domain within its boundaries, until it yields it up by compact or conquest. The validity of a title can be judged of by no other rule than those laws in which it had its origin; and a title, good by those laws, cannot be disregarded but by a departure from the first principles of justice. "If the article, therefore, meant only to provide for the affirmation of that which is the universal rule in the Courts of civilized nations, professing to be governed by the dictates of law," it was a mere nullity. 8 Wheat. 11, 12. The common law was a part of the law of Virginia; and the claimant of land underit admitted the validity of grants by Virginia, in express terms; whereas, in the former, there was a stipulation in favour of the grants of Tennessee which gave them validity.
These two compacts are as distinctive in their character as the two treaties of 1795 and 1819, between Spain and the United States; and this marked distinction, when carried into the opinions of the Court, in Robinson vs. Campbell, and Poole vs. Fleeger, on the respective compacts; the cases of Harcourt vs. Gaillard, and Henderson vs. Poindexter, on the treaties of 1783, and 1795, the cases before recited on the treaties of 1803, 1819, and the several compacts between states, will be found to be clear of all collision with each other, and most conclusive on every point involved


titles decided by the same tribunals which decide similar rights in other states. 9 Pet. 235; and in New Orleans vs. The United States, an illustrious instance is found of the action of the Courts of the United States, asserting the supremacy of a treaty, in protecting private property against a series of acts of Congress for nearly thirty years. 10 Peters, 734. 736.
When the true construction of the Florida treaty was settled in the case of Arredondo, the Court declared as a consequence thereof: "The proprietors could bring suits to recover them, (the lands embraced in the grants confirmed by the treaty,) and any question arising would be purely a judicial one." 6 Peters, 741, 742.
So in Percheman's case. "Without it (the eighth article) the titles ofthe aid of any legislative provisions." Ibid. 314.
I presume it is scarcely necessary to inquire, whether the construction of an act of Congress presents a judicial or political question.
In Strother vs. Lucas, the Court say, "Treaties are the law of the land, and a rule of decision in all Courts, their stipulations are binding on the United States; in that of 1819, there is a present confirmation of all grants made before January 1818, with the exception of only three which had been previously made, and were expressly omitted." 12 Peters, 439.
In Massachusetts vs. Rhode Island, it was held, that "the construction of compacts between states," was a judicial question, and was so considered by this Court, in Sims vs. Irvine, Marlatt vs. Silk, and Burton vs. Williams."


&c.; "and of judicial proceedings, according to the course of the common law." Ibid. 479.
"No man shall be deprived of his liberty or property, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land;" and if the public emergency requires any person's property to be taken, full compensation shall be made for the same. Ibid.
The sixth article of the Constitution declares, that "all debts contracted, and all engagements entered into, before the adoption of this constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution as under the confederation."
Thus this ordinance, the most solemn of all engagements, has become a part of the Constitution, and is valid to protect and forever secure the rights of property and judicial proceedings to the inhabitants ofevery territory to which it applies.
By the acts of Congress of 1798 and 1800, the ordinance of 1787 was applied to the territory of Mississippi, (1 Story, 494. 778;) in 1805, to the territory of Orleans, (2 Story, 963;) embracing the whole of the disputed territory.
This ordinance, then, is in itself a panoply broad enough to cover every right in controversy in this case, and impenetrable to any assault which can be made upon them by any subordinate power. When this most solemn and mutual compact, this engagement of the old Congress, embodied in the Constitution itself, shall be finally held to be dependent on an act of the new Congress to give it efficiency, there can be no security for property. It must be remembered, too, that


in this compact the new states are placed under concomitant obligations to the United States, to purchasers from them, *418 to non-resident proprietors of lands, and the citizens of the United States, which are worthy of consideration.
"The legislatures of those districts or new states, shall never interfere with the primary disposal of the soil by the United States, in Congress assembled, nor with any regulations Congress may find necessary for securing the title in such soil to the bona fide purchasers. No tax shall be imposed on lands, the property of the United States; and in no case shall non-resident proprietors be taxed higher than those residents. The navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be common highways,the state of things preceding the treaty of 1819, and during the military occupation of this territory by the United States, which deeply concern them in their foreign relations.
In 18__, the minister of Great Britain, in behalf of her ally, called upon this government to explain the reason why the United States had incorporated the territory west of the Perdido into the Union, after it had been declared in the President's proclamation that it was still held by the United States as "a subject of fair, friendly negotiation and adjustment, (3 State Papers, For. Aff. 400,)  a question of sufficient difficulty to answer, when applied to the proclamation alone. But this difficulty would have become the greater, had the confidential message of the President, and the consequent


and simultaneous secret resolution and acts of 1811 and 1813 then been publicly disclosed; whereby the law-making, war-making power of the United States, in authorizing the forcible occupation of the territory, by an act of war, had solemnly renewed the pledges of the President, as well in relation to the territorial rights of Spain, as the private property of her grantees.
And if, when this fair and friendly negotiation and adjustment was finally closed by the ratification of the treaty in 1821, the United States had announced to Spain that it did not relate to the territory west of the Perdido; that it belonged to them by the treaty of 1803, and was held solely in virtue thereof; that any cession by the treaty of 1819 was disclaimed, andthat the United States disavowed any obligation to confirm any grants of land made by Spain after 1800; *419 that they remained null and void under the act of 1804, notwithstanding the treaty, till Congress should please to give them validity; that the pledges given by the three departments of the government did not apply to that territory or its private proprietors; that the ordinance of 1789, the Constitution of the United States, the treaty of 1803, or the Constitution of the states to which it was annexed, still left private property dependent on the mere will of Congress. Such declarations would have been met with a new remonstrance, which might have made the United States desirous that its highest judicial tribunal should give to the treaty such


a construction as would better comport with the law of nations, the faith of treaties, the injunctions of the Constitution, and those principles which had been the standard rules of federal jurisprudence under the confederation, and thence to the present time.
Whatever the acquisition of the Floridas may have cost, in dollars or acres, it was, as this Court justly remarked, in 3 Peters, 463, richly repaid by its beneficial consequences, "in addition to vacant lands," of which the United States already possessed some hundreds of millions of acres. Nothing can tend so much to their interest, to preserve their high position at home and abroad, as for the United States to consider this treaty to have consummated all the great objects which it was intended to effect; toextinguish the claim of Spain by accepting the cession of the territory, charged with all the titles ceded or recognised under Spain, and in all respects redeeming to their full measure every previous pledge given by any department of its government: whereby, in the words of the first article, "there shall be a firm and inviolable peace, and sincere friendship, between the United States and their citizens and his Catholic Majesty, his successors and subjects, without exception of persons and places;" and in the preamble to the ninth  "with the object of putting an end to all the differences which have existed between them, and of confirming the good understanding which they wish to be forever maintained between them," &c.
Such is the effect of a Treaty of


Amity, Settlement, and Limits, by the universally received principles of the law of nations; such, too, is the effect of this treaty, according to the most solemn and often repeated adjudications of this Court; and such would be its effects, if it had been only an ordinary treaty of cession, or compact of boundary, with similar stipulations for the protection of private property.
It requires the application of no new principle, or the liberal expansion of old ones, to take this treaty to so operate, that all land which by the lawfully recognised authorities of Spain in the province had been severed from the royal domain, before January, 1818, was excepted from the cession to the United States by the second and third articles, and that all grants, &c.remain and stand, under the eighth article, ratified and confirmed, as valid to the same extent as they would have been if the territory had remained under the dominion of Spain.
*420 The ground in controversy was so severed in 1809, by a grant or concession, which, though it may not amount to a complete legal title, yet the United States "were bound in good faith by the terms of the treaty," to confirm such concessions, and has admitted its obligation to confirm such as had "been fairly made, as was declared in the first case which arose under the treaty, under a concession for land in the disputed territory, (12 Wheat. 601;) which principle was followed in every subsequent case till 1838, save one; and was fully recognised


in Kingsley's case in the clearest terms: "It is admitted, that in the construction of this article (the eighth) of the treaty, the United States succeeds to all the equitable obligations which we are to suppose would have influenced his Catholic Majesty to secure his subjects their property, and which would have been applied by him in the construction of a conditional grant to make it absolute." 12 Peters, 484.
These cases alone are full and decisive authority to rule the present, and when taken in connection with all previous decisions, on treaties and compacts of every description, between the United States and foreign nations, or with the states of this Union, or between state and state, making cessions of territory, or adjusting contested boundaries, from 1781 to 1838,every other act which places the territory, its inhabitants and proprietors, under the government of the Constitution of the United States, or the states which embrace it; and from whatever source the rights of property arise, they are as sacred under the judicial wing of the Union or the state as those of its other citizens.
In addition to this protection, the law of nations, without any treaty, stipulation, or constitutional provision, makes private property inviolable in the cession, relinquishment, conquest, or military occupation of the territory, by some of which means the United States acquired it, and it matters not by which; the laws, usages, and customs of Spain and the province, remained in force as the only rules of title and property, the only test of the


validity of grants.
In putting themselves in the place of Spain, whether by her consent or force, the United States took on themselves all the obligations imposed by their position, and the state of the disputed territory under the treaty of 1803 and subsequent laws, and anew recognised those obligations by the President's proclamation, and the acts of 1811 and 1813; the stipulations of the treaty were only an affirmance and renewal of these obligations, in the more solemn form of a national compact most solemnly ratified; but which bound the United States to nothing to which they were not previously bound, by every guarantee which a government could give to its citizens.
For these reasons, I am clearly of opinion, that without the acts of 1824 or 1836, theto it.
The opinion in Arredondo was delivered after the appeal by the Spanish minister from the decision in Foster and Elam; the opinion in Percheman was an answer to the appeal by the Secretary of State, from some misapprehensions of the opinion in Arredondo. This double appeal was most fully met by the opinion in Percheman, in language which vindicated the honour and interest of the United States, and left this Court no longer exposed to the imputation of being the only department of the government which presented any obstacle to the execution of the treaty as mutually understood.
To these opinions I must adhere, till their principles have been most deliberately reconsidered, and their fallacy exposed; if the laws of nations, as there declared, are not correctly stated,


26th May, 1824; in the charge which it gave to the jury, at the trial, as stated in the bill of exceptions in the record.
Before I state the charge, it will be necessary with a view to understand its bearing, to state the material facts appearing in the bill of exceptions to have been proven, and upon which the charge was founded.
Pollard's heirs, at the trial, to maintain the issue on their part, gave in evidence a concession for the lot in question from the Spanish authorities, dated 12th of December, 1809, but which had been reported against, and rejected by the commissioners of the United States, appointed to investigate and report upon such claims; because of the want of improvement and occupancy. They then gave in evidencea patent dated 14th of March, 1837, issued by virtue of an act of Congress, passed the 2d July, 1836, entitled an act for the relief of William Pollard's heirs; the patent embraced the lot in question.
The defendant then gave in evidence, a Spanish grant, dated the 9th of June, 1802, to John Forbes and Company, for a lot of ground, eighty feet front, on Royal street, with a depth of three hundred and four feet to the east, and bounded on the south by Government *423 street; which grant was recognised and confirmed by an act of Congress.
It was proven that the lot in question is east of Water street, and immediately in front of the lot conveyed by the above-mentioned grant, to John Forbes and Company,


and only separated from it by Water street. It was proven, that previously to the year 1819, and until filled up, as hereafter stated, the lot in question was, at ordinary high tide, covered with water, and mainly so, at all stages of the water; that the ordinary high water flowed from the east to about the middle of what is now Water street, between the lot in question, and that embraced in the grant to John Forbes and Company. John Forbes and Company had been in possession of the lot contained in their grant, since the year 1802; and it was known under the Spanish government as a water lot; no lots at that time existing between it and the water.
In the year 1823, no one beingin possession, and the lot in question being under water, a certain Curtis Lewis, without any title or claim, took possession of it, and filled it up east of Water street, filling up north of Government street, and at the corner of same and Water street; that Lewis remained a few months in possession, when he was ousted by one of the firm of John Forbes and Company, who erected a smith's shop thereon, and they were then turned out by said Lewis, by legal process, who then retained possession until he conveyed it. When Lewis took possession, Water street at that place could be passed by carts, and was common.
The defendant connected himself, in title, to the lot in question, by means of conveyances, with John Forbes


and Company, with Curtis Lewis, and the mayor and aldermen of Mobile. It was admitted that the lot in question lies between Church street, and North Boundary street.
On this state of facts, the Court charged the jury, that if the lot conveyed as above to John Forbes and Company, by the deed aforesaid, was known as a water lot under the Spanish government; and if the lot in question had been improved at and previous to the 26th of May, 1824, and was east of Water street and immediately in front of the lot so conveyed to John Forbes & Company; then the lot in question, passed by the act of Congress of 26th May, 1824, to those at that time owning and occupying, so as above conveyedto John Forbes and Company; and that it was immaterial who made the improvements on the lot on the east side of Water street, being the one in question: that by the aforesaid act of Congress, the proprietor of the lot on the west side of Water street, known as above, that is, as a water lot, under the Spanish government, was entitled to the lot on the east side of it.
Whether this charge was correct or not, depends upon the construction of the act of 1824: and I now proceed to show, that it is, as I think, precisely in accordance with the true construction of that act, nay, that it is almost the very echo of it. The second section provides, "that all the right and


claim of the United States to so *424 many of the lots of ground east of Water street, and between Church street and North Boundary street, now known as water lots, as are situated between the channel of the river, and the front of the lots known under the Spanish government as water lots, in the said city of Mobile, whereon improvements have been made, be, and the same are hereby vested in the several proprietors and occupants of each of the lots, heretofore fronting on the river Mobile, except," &c. I will at present pause here, and examine the meaning of this section, independently of the exception; I will afterwards examine the operation of that. Now the questions are, who were the grantees, and what the thingsgranted by this section? And first, who were the grantees? They were the proprietors and occupants of the lots, heretofore fronting on the river Mobile. It appears from the record, that the lots on the western side of Water street, were the lots heretofore fronting on the river Mobile, and that these were known under the Spanish government as water lots.
There were no lots at that time existing between them and the water. The grantees, then contemplated by the act of Congress, were those persons who owned lots known as water lots under the Spanish government; because those were they which heretofore fronted on the river Mobile: and the record, as I have said, fixes their locality on the western side of Water street.
Next let us inquire, what


were the things granted? These were the lots east of Water street, and between Church and North Boundary street, now known as water lots, and situated between the channel of the river and the front of the lots, known under the Spanish government as water lots, whereon improvements have been made.
It appears that the lot in question answers this description, as to locality in every particular; that improvements had been made upon it, and that it was in front of the lot owned by John Forbes and Company, which lay on the western side of Water street, and which originally fronted on Mobile river, reaching to it; and was known under the Spanish government as a water lot. If we now apply the charge of the Court tothis state of facts, we shall see that it accords with the language of the law, with extraordinary precision. The jury were told, hypothetically, that if the lot conveyed to John Forbes and Company was known as a water lot, under the Spanish government, which hypothesis is proven to be a fact by the record; and if the lot in question had been improved, previously to the 26th of May, 1824, and this fact also clearly appears from the record; and was east of Water street, and immediately in front of the lot of John Forbes and Company, and this fact, too, as clearly appears from the record; then, that the lot in question passed by the act of Congress of May 1824, to those at that time


water; the new water lot did not then exist, having since come into existence; the purpose of the statute was to place the owner of the old water lot in his original position, that of still going to the water, which would be effected by giving him the new water lot, without inquiring by whom it was improved.
But it is supposed that the claim of Pollard's heirs comes within the benefit of the exception, in this section, which, so far as it respects this case, is in these words, "Except where the Spanish government has made a new grant or order of survey for the same, during the time at which they had the power to grant the same; in which case, the right and claim of thethe proprietor of the old water lot, in front of which it lies; or, as is argued, to Pollard's heirs, as holding a Spanish grant, nothing passed to the city of Mobile, whichsoever construction shall prevail; and I will add, that if any thing did pass to the city of Mobile, it appears by the record, that their title or claim was vested in the defendant.
Finally, it was argued, that the title of Pollard's heirs was perfected by the act of Congress of July, 1836, which confirmed to them the lot in question by metes and bounds: but the decisive answer to that is, that that act contains a proviso, that it should only operate as a relinquishment, on the part of the United States, of all their


right and claim to the lot, and should not interfere with or affect the claim or claims of third persons. Now, if, as I clearly think, the right of the United States had passed by the act of 1824, to the owner of the old water lot, in front of which the one in question lay, then the United States had no right or claim to relinquish by the act of 1836. And the same consequence precisely would follow, if, as the plaintiffs contend, the right of the United States passed to them by virtue of the exception in the act of 1824. So that whatsoever may be the construction of the enacting part of that act, or of the exception, it would equally follow, that there wasno claim or title in the United States, which the act of 1836 could operate to convey or relinquish.
For these reasons, I am clearly of opinion that the judgment of the Supreme Court of Alabama is correct, and ought to be affirmed.
*427 Mr. Justice CATRON, dissenting.
The town of Mobile was first settled and governed by France; and by the treaty of 1763, ceded to Great Britain, and attached to Florida: by the treaty of 1783, Florida was ceded by Great Britain to Spain. Florida proper, previous to the treaty of 1763, extended to the river Perdido, and only included the country east of it; which river was the boundary between France and Spain, from the first settlement of the country up to 1763. 2 Peters, 300. After 1783,


and up to 1800, Spain owned Florida and Louisiana; that power then retroceded to France Louisiana to the same extent it had when France owned it; that is, all west of the Perdido; disregarding the fact that Great Britain had attached the country west of the Perdido to Florida, and that for the purposes of government, Spain, after 1783, had continued to recognise and govern as Florida, all the country east of the Mississippi, north of the Iberville, and south of our boundary in the 30° of latitude. But that the country passed to France as far east as the Perdido, by the treaty of St. Ildefonso of 1800, is the established doctrine of this government, and which is fully recognised by this Court. And by the treatyof cession of 1803, the French Republic ceded Louisiana to the United States, in full sovereignty, with "all public lots and squares, vacant lands, and all public buildings, fortifications, barracks, and other edifices, which are not private property."
Owing to the confusion growing out of the circumstance, that Great Britain, after 1763, had attached the country west of the Perdido to Florida, and Spain had, after 1783, treated and governed it as part of Florida; it was assumed by Spain, that no part of the province passed to France by the treaty of 1800, or to the United States, by the cession of France of 1803. And Spain, for some nine years after the cession, continued to hold and govern the country, and until we took forcible possession of


it.
All title to the vacant lots and squares in the town of Mobile, having been vested in France, by the treaty of 1800, and in the United States, by the cession of 1803, no interest in the soil afterwards remained in the king and government of Spain; and all attempts to grant lands by that power were merely void. Such is the settled doctrine of this Court, as holden in Foster and Elam vs. Neilson, 2 Peters, and re-affirmed in Garcia vs. Lee, 12 Peters. So Congress has uniformly, from 1804, regarded our title, and the assumptions of Spain. 2 Peters, 304.
The rapid growth and extensive commerce of the city of Mobile, in 1824, rendered it expedient that the city should improve its facilities in regard to navigation;the bay in its front being shallow, extensive wharves and other improvements were indispensable. To accommodate the city, Congress passed an act (ch. 415) of that year, vesting in the mayor and aldermen, and their successors, "for the sole use and benefit of the city, forever, the Hospital and Bakehouse lots; and also all the right and claim of the United States to all the lots not sold or confirmed to individuals, either by that act, or *428 any former act of Congress, and to which no equitable title existed in favour of any individual, under that act, or any former act." The grant to extend to all public lots lying in front of the city, and between high-water mark and the channel of the river, and between


Church and North Boundary streets. Such is the first section of the act; and if nothing more was found in it, there can be no doubt the city took the title to the square, a part of which is in controversy; as the only exceptions in favour of outstanding claims are those conferred by acts of Congress.
The plaintiffs' claim is founded on a concession made by the Spanish Governor of Florida, in 1809; and was a permit to William Pollard, to use and occupy, for the purpose of depositing lumber from his sawmill, the space between Forbes and Company's canal and the king's wharf. As the concession made in 1809 was wholly void, it is useless to inquire into its character; or the nature of the title intendedto be conferred.
But it is insisted the claim is excepted from the first section of the act of 1824, by the second; which provides, that in case of any lot, &c., where the "Spanish government has made a new grant or order of survey for the same, during the time at which they had the power to grant the same; in which case, the right and claim of the United States shall be, and is hereby, vested in the person to whom such alienation, grant, or order of survey was made; or in his legal representatives."
The concession of 1809 was made in the face of the act of 1804, (ch. 38, sec. 14. 2 Story's Laws, 939,) pronouncing all grants by the Spanish authorities after the cession, void;


Spain certainly had no power to make it, and therefore the act of 1824 does not cover the claim. If it had, a title in fee by force of that act would have vested in Pollard's heirs; and the special act of 1836, in their favour, been superfluous. But neither the parties interested, nor Congress, seem to have supposed the title confirmed by the act of 1824.
The statute also provides, that where improvements had been made on the new water lots east of Water street, that then the title should vest in the proprietor of the old water lot opposite, on the west side of said street; and on this provision, the charge of the Court below turned; that Court holding the title to the part of thepremises in controversy to have vested in Forbes and Company, because it was improved at the date of the act of 1824; and that it was immaterial by whom the improvement had been made.
That the improvements referred to by the act must have existed on the new and eastern water lots, is, as I think, free from doubt: but that Forbes and Company could acquire a benefit from the improvement made by Lewis is somewhat doubtful: as, however, no critical construction of the act on this point is called for, none has been made. The act of 1824 passed the title to the property covered by the patent issued by virtue of the act of 1836, unless it was excepted from the first act, and this is the


A giraffe has been killed after smashing its head on a bridge while being transported dangerously on a highway in South Africa, wildlife officials said Thursday. Several horrified witnesses tweeted pictures of the open-air truck carrying two giraffes with their necks jutting high out of the vehicle. "Look how low that bridge is and how tall the giraffes are," tweeted Pabi Moloi. "Who thought this one through? I wish I hadn't seen this." Rick Allan, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, confirmed the pictures and the animal's death to NBC News: "The way that these giraffes were being transported was incorrect and not up to standards.

"Their heads were above the vehicle which meant that one of them cracked their head on the bridge. That'sHenderson to buy five French offices as European market bounces back

the STS is a multidisciplinary mathematical construction. It combines a few major mathematical disciplines that are naturally synergetic within the STS. This synergy can ensure fruitful cross-fertilization during future work on the STS. To date, the STS has already provided a few novel findings, therein making it interesting from several points of view, as discussed below.

For DS theory, an interesting result from the STS is the established equivalence between the so-called sharp-trace of the generalized transfer operator, the stochastic Lefschetz index of the corresponding SDE-defined diffeomorphisms, and the Witten index of the STS. From the perspective of the conventional theory of SDEs, a valuable result from the STS is the demonstrated equivalence between the Stratonovich interpretation of SDEs and the (bi-graded) Weyl symmetrization procedure. For a field theorist, theregeneralization of the Poincaré–Hopf theorem. The later states that, under certain and general conditions and for a vector field with isolated critical points, the sum of the indices of the critical points, *i.e.*, the signs of the determinant of the matrix of the derivatives of the vector field, equals the Euler characteristic of the manifold. In the case of Equation (\[ParisiSourlas\]), the objects in the Poincaré–Hopf theorem are recognized as follows. The manifold is the space of all the closed paths (periodic boundary conditions). The vector field is the SDE with a fixed noise configuration. The critical points are the periodic solutions of this SDE.

The constant resulting from the summation in the last line of Equation (\[ParisiSourlas\]) is independent of the configuration of the noise. In other words, as


Sony has detailed some of the games it will focus on during its E3 2018 press conference. Speaking on the PlayStation Blogcast, chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios Shawn Layden indicated that PlayStation won't have a traditional press conference, and will instead feature "exclusive looks and deep dives on four" upcoming titles: Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us Part II.

Beyond these titles, there will be announcements with third-party publishing partners and games from indie developers will also be given time in the spotlight. When asked about the possibility of a hardware at E3, Layden confirmed "there will be no new hardware announcements at E3" from PlayStation.

For Death Stranding, Layden said Sony has a "complete new report for everybody about what is happeningIndia goes to the West Indies sensing more cricketing opportunities than threats

In the past, a tour of the West Indies was deemed the toughest endeavour for any cricketer. Reputations were either enhanced or lost and fractures seemed imminent in the battles against the fiery fast bowlers, while the crowds requested the perfume-ball, a euphemism for a nasty bouncer. But times change, and the inherent quality of the Caribbean squads has declined so much that a sporting visit to the isles with their sunny beaches is seen as an exercise towards etching triumphs, fattening batting averages and multiplying bowling yields. With this as the backdrop, India will fly halfway across the earth for a set of three Twenty20s — interestingly, two of them are being hosted in the United


States of America — three ODIs and two Tests against the West Indies from August 3 to September 3. India will be the favourites across the three formats, though in limited overs games, where the abridged nature of the sport tends to iron out the flaws, the host might fancy its chances. The tour, coming as it does close on the heels of the World Cup in England, presents an opportunity for India to look ahead, make a few changes in personnel and prepare for the future. Transition always coincides with the quadrennial World Cup and India too is part of that global trend.

M.S. Dhoni has straddled three generations, the one that had Sachin Tendulkar, the second with the likes of Yuvraj Singh and the latest under ViratKohli as captain. The former India captain has held firm in a storied career of triumphs, losses, frenzied runs, sharp catches and quicksilver stumpings, but at 38 he is near his cricketing twilight. Though he avoided retiring from the blue shade by preferring to serve the Army in his role as an honorary lieutenant colonel, Dhoni presented an opportunity to M.S.K. Prasad and his fellow selectors to fast-track Rishabh Pant as the first-choice wicket-keeper batsman across all formats. Dhoni, who retired from Tests in 2014, might still make appearances in the shorter versions, and there is speculation about next year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia being his preferred last stop. But it all depends on what the selectors and Kohli prefer as they look at building the team

trial court granted the defendant's motion to quash his arrest and suppress evidence. The State appeals. We affirm.
The bystander's report reflects that Officer Robert Myers of the Monmouth, Illinois, police department was on routine patrol on the night of March 19, 1994. Around 11:45 p.m., Officer Myers saw a white Ford vehicle with no visible registration being driven down Main Street. The officer stopped the vehicle.
Officer Myers exited his squad car and approached the Ford from the rear. He discovered a valid temporary registration card affixed to the inside of the Ford's rear window. The officer was unable to see the registration from his vehicle because it was dark outside and the rear window was tinted. Officer Myers then approached the defendant, who remained seated in the car,


a computer check and discovered that McSwain had a suspended license and a prior criminal record. As a result, the officer sought and obtained McSwain's consent to search the car. The officer found drugs and arrested McSwain.
The court of appeals held that the detention after the stop was unlawful. The court based its decision in part on the officer's intent to determine solely whether McSwain's car was validly registered. The court stated that once the officer found the registration was valid, the purpose for the stop had been satisfied. The officer's further detention to ask about the car and to request McSwain's license and registration exceeded the scope of the underlying justification for the stop. McSwain, 29 F.3d at 561.

D. Generally Arcuate Segments

   ICU's Construction               RyMed's Construction
   Naturally separated divisions,   Segments wherein the
   portions or sections             inner and outer surfaces of
   of the walls that are bent,  in support of "generally arcuate segments," but chose not to, does not change the foregoing analysis.
As ICU points out in their Opening Brief, both parties are in relative agreement as to the meaning of "arcuate." (Compare D.I. 118, at 21 (ICU construing "arcuate" as "bent, curved like a bow, or arc-shaped") with D.I. 232, at 72:20-21 (RyMed stating "arcuate means curved like a bow. Bow means something bent into a simple curve.").) However, the parties dispute whether or not RyMed's proposed limitation concerning "the inner and outer surfaces of the wall" is appropriate. In the Court's view, this limitation is unwarranted. Even if RyMed were correct that the Figure 9 embodiment is the only support for "generally arcuate segments" in the Common Specificationwhich is a contested pointthey provide


placement of the disputed claim term between descriptions of the seal in the decompressed and compressed states arguably creates confusion as to whether the claim term is referring to one or both of these states. In one way, the context suggests that the claim term refers to both the compressed and decompressed states, as RyMed contends. The last sentence in each of the claims is preceded by a description of the seal's location in the compressed state, yet both sentences seem to provide general descriptions of the seal not limited in reference to the compressed state. In another way, the context suggests that the claim term is limited in reference to the decompressed state, as ICU contends. In the disputed claim term, the seal section bears against saidused to being carried around. He was not house trained and seemed to have a limited ability to learn. Sadly, at the shelter, staff had little one-on-one time to devote to him, so Nofer decided to take him home.

Nofer said that in the three months she has worked with Tiny, the change has been dramatic. "He has a routine," said Nofer, adding that having a structured environment is important for a dog like Tiny. No longer needing (or expecting ) to be carried everywhere, Tiny navigates most of Nofer's home, wearing a collar and bell so that she knows where he is at all times.

Nofer explained that because of his blindness, Tiny's other senses are acute, adding that Tiny enjoys doing many things that a "normal" dog would


do from roughhousing with her Labrador mix puppy, Smudge, to taking a supervised dip in the backyard pool. "He's a terror at dinnertime," said Nofer, explaining if Tiny doesn't get his meals on time, he will get angry and start barking at her.

Nofer has also trained Tiny to both "come" and "sit," and says that he enjoys kissing and cuddling. While she admits that caring for a special needs dog like Tiny is time consuming, she said that watching him learn to be a dog which enjoys life is extremely rewarding.

"Tiny was brought back to life," said Nofer. "A human did that. We owe it to him now to take care of him."

That's one reason Palau recently banded together with seven of its South Pacific neighbors to try to protect their tuna populations better. They even worked with regional authorities to largely ban big tuna operations from the international waters between their countries.

It's an unprecedented arrangement. But enforcement is still a constant battle. So Palau has called on outsiders for help, including organizations like Greenpeace, which now helps patrol the waters around the country.

On one recent excursion over international waters about 500 miles offshore, a Greenpeace helicopter carrying a Palauan Marine Officer and Greenpeace activists spotted three tuna boats. The passengers suspected two of them were moving tuna onto the third, for transfer to market.

It's a process called transshipment, which can obscure the tuna's origins, making it impossible to track


where the fish was caught. Conservationists call it tuna laundering.

As the chopper flew in closer, a bucket of fish could be seen swinging from one of the boats onto the deck of its neighbor, leading one of the Greenpeace crew to exclaim, "Caught in the act!"

The receiving vessel was a Cambodian-flagged refrigerator ship named the Heng Xing 1. When the activists and the Palauan official boarded the ship a few hours later and descended a frosty ladder into its dark, icy belly, they found the hold jammed with tons of frozen skipjack and yellowfin tuna.

The captain of the vessel admitted that he didn't have a license on board, although he claimed that the company that operated the ship back in Cambodia did.

It's impossible to know whether the fishin the Heng Xing 1's belly were caught legally, but the transfer of the fish to the ship was illegal. Although moving fish at sea is a common practice, authorities here in Palau require that boats offload only in port so they can track the tuna.

And as a Cambodian-flagged vessel, the Heng Xing had no right to work here at all.

But since it was operating in international waters the Palauan officer riding with Greenpeace couldn't bust the ship. All he could do was report the incident to the regional fisheries authority.

A few days later, the monitors came across another of the boats that took part in the illegal transshipment. Palauan Marine Officer Earl Benhart says it seems pretty clear the boat was up to no good. He says


Let’s Get Closer to Korean Actress Park Joo-mi

Park Joo-mi is a South Korean actress who made her debut in the entertainment industry as a model for Asiana Airlines. A few years later, in 1991, Park Joo-mi started to pursue her dream of being a professional actress, eventually starring for some television dramas, such as Beautiful Seoul in 1999 and Feels Good in 2000.

October 24th, 2012. The accident destroyed the front of her car. Many people were speculating that the passengers in the car would be traumatized from the car accident. The passengers included Park Joo-mi, her stylist and her manager, as well as the driver of the car. Fortunately, despite the damage to the front of the front car, there was no damage to the rear. According to the report from her agency, Queen Seondeok from The King’s Dream was travelling on the Ogori Highway in Gunwi County, North Gyeogsang on Tuesday night. Park Joo-mi’s vehicle, which was a van, collided into a truck weighing 25 tons.

The North Gyeongsang Provincial Police Agency released a photo showing the vehicle was damaged beyond recognition. At that time, the police said they wouldinvestigate the circumstances of the accident and the photo would be used as evidence from the accident, regarding the driver’s principle.

Park Joo-mi seemed fine when she was examined at a nearby hospital right after the accident, but when she was transported to Seoul, she complained of pain in her neck and abdomen. According to a recent broadcast from Ilgan Sports, Park Joo-mi was injured for about 4 to 5 weeks. Representatives from the hospital sent out press releases with Park Joo-mi’s updated health conditions, saying first that she was recovering at a hospital in Gangnam, southern Seoul after being moved from the intensive care unit to a regular room.

The next said that after undergoing tests at the hospital, it was found that Park Joo-mi might have some internal


injuries, but her seat belt also saved her life, and she needed some stability to regain her health, because it was the star’s priority, and the program can’t delay the filming any longer.

During the last round of the 2008 U.

During the last round of the 2008 U.S. Open, my father and I watched Tiger Woods limp his way to his 14th (and last) major championship on an injured left ACL. That Monday, as Tiger accepted his trophy after beating Rocco Mediate in a playoff, Pops and I had a dead-serious conversation about whether Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali would have company in the “greatest athlete ever” conversation by the time Tiger finished his career. Again, we were dead serious. Who could have ever predicted these last five years?

I went back and watched highlights of the two final rounds of that 2008 U.S. Open. It gave me goose bumps to see a man perform


on that level under those circumstances. There was also a level of nostalgia involved watching Tiger back when he was, well, Tiger. He chased down Lee Westwood that Saturday thanks to a serendipitous birdie on the 17th hole that hit the flag pole instead of flying five or six yards past the cup. Then there was that insane eagle on the 18th, played just right. OnlyTiger. It was his second eagle on the back nine. The next day, in his Sunday red, he dropped in a long birdie on the final hole to force the sudden death playoff.

Before that ACL recovery, before his wife Elin Nordegren took a golf club to his crashed Escalade, before the scandals and layoffs, we expected Tiger to hit those shots. He hadtranscended transcendence. He was an icon in 2008, the most popular and recognizable athlete in the world — Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter and Tom Brady would’ve told you so. Even the folks that scoff at the very notion of golfers merely being considered athletes had to acknowledge the immortal march Tiger was on. And, although pro athletes often have great admiration for the way pro golfers have been able to master a game that gives everyone else fits, I’m betting Kevin Durant holds no awe for Phil Mickelson nor Andrew Luck for Rory McIlroy. But. at Tiger’s peak, he was The Man among men. Retired legends from Charles Barkley to Michael Jordan hung with him to soak up lost virtuosity the way Dr. Dre attached himself to Kendrick

The front and rear cabin are roomy enough to accommodate up to five people, but because of limited space, I would not recommend transporting three adults in the rear cabin for long road trips. The front seats are supportive, firm, yet comfortable and on the Grand Touring trim, the seats have an attractive design, the trip computer and controls are intuitive, the dashboard/console area are within easy reach, and the upholstery, interior design, and knobs give the vehicle a more upscale appearance. I also really like the mounted color display touch screen that is located on top of the dashboard with a controller on the center console.

After quadruple bypass surgery, Arthur Ashe retires from tennis, leaving with a career record of 818-260 and 35 titles.

In 1979, Ashe suffered a heart attack, which surprised the public in view of his high level of fitness as an athlete. His condition drew attention to the hereditary aspect of heart disease. Ashe underwent a quadruple bypass operation, performed by Dr. John Hutchinson on December 13, 1979. A few months after the operation, Ashe was on the verge of making his return to professional tennis. However, during a family trip in Cairo, Egypt, he developed chest pains while running. Ashe stopped running and returned to see a physician and was accompanied by his close friend Douglas Stein. Stein urged Ashe to return


to New York City so he could be close to his cardiologist and surgeon.

In 1983, Ashe underwent a second round of heart surgery to correct the previous bypass surgery. In 1988 Ashe tested positive for HIV. Ashe and his doctors believed he contracted the virus from blood transfusions he received during his second heart surgery.

Arthur Robert Ashe was a World No. 1 professional tennis player. He won three Grand Slam titles, ranking him among the best tennis players from the United States.

Ashe was the 1st black player selected to the United States Davis Cup team and the only black man ever to win the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open.

He was ranked World No. 1 by Harry Hopman in 1968 and by LanceTingay of The Daily Telegraph andWorld Tennis Magazine in 1975.

In the ATP computer rankings, he peaked at No. 2 in May 1976.

Ashe remains the only Black man to win the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open, or Australian Open. He is one of only two men of black African ancestry to win any Grand Slam singles title, the other being France’s Yannick Noah, who won the French Open in 1983.


front of their students and decry the evil of capitalism. Bestselling books make anticapitalism the theme. Politicians parade around telling us about the glorious things that the government will accomplish when they are in charge. And every evil of the day, even those directly caused by the government (airline delays, the housing crisis, the never-ending crisis in public schooling, the lack of healthcare for everyone) are blamed on the market economy.

As an example, the Bush administration nationalized airline security after 9/11, and hardly anyone even questioned that this was necessary. The result was an amazing mess that is visible to every traveler, as delays pile on delays and humiliation became part of the rubric of travel by flight. And yet who gets the blame? Read the letters tocharities in the 19th century were a vast operation comparable in size to the largest industries. They expanded according to need. They were mostly provided by the churches through donations, and the ethic was there: everyone gave a portion of the family budget to the charitable sector. A nun like Mother Cabrini ran a charitable empire.

But then in the progressive era, ideology changed. Charity came to be considered a public good, something to be professionalized. The state began to encroach on territory once reserved to the private sector. And as the welfare state grew throughout the 20th century, the comparative size of the private sector shrank. As bad off as we are in the United States, it is nothing compared with Europe, the continent that gave birth to


PCA 2012: From FPPs to big cash

Back in May, PokerStars player Steve "Roversfan95" Westlund from Lancashire in the UK started playing the PCA Mega-Path satellites. Within 18 days, he had worked his way through all eight rounds and won himself a $15,000 trip to the Bahamas. At the time, it was the biggest prize he'd ever won - and the PCA was to be the biggest tournament he'd ever played.

The former soldier, who was in the British Army for 23 years and served in Belfast, Armagh, the first Gulf War, Bosnia and the Falklands, was absolutely thrilled to be heading to the Bahamas.

The seventeen sample sites included water in the cooling canal that was thermally enriched and soil and water adjacent to, upstream, downstream and at a distance from the generator. Air samples were taken at the plant and at various distances from the plant. Fifty-two species of thermotolerant and thermophilic fungi were isolated. Of these, eleven species are grouped as opportunistic Mucorales or opportunistic Aspergillus sp. One veterinary pathogen was also isolated (Dactylaria gallopava).

Getting a Good Start at the Cork Institute of Technology

Hue Linh Duong our Vietnamese ambassador talks us through her experiences of the Good Start program for international students at Cork Institute of Technology.

On my first day at CIT I was eager but also really nervous. I went and sat down by myself in a big hall and was surrounded by people I didn’t know. International students were then separated into two groups — one for Erasmus students and another for students from different countries. The atmosphere in both groups seemed kind of cold and tense but I told myself that everything would be fine.

A group of students then walked in wearing red hoodies emblazoned with the words Good Start and brought with them a wave of positive energy.

Torin Bales Fine Jewelry is a cool store. At least, according to "Instore" magazine.

The Victoria jewelry shop, 6007 Northeast Zac Lentz Parkway, was featured in the "Cool Stores" section of the trade publication's May issue.

It was exciting to be recognized, said Torin Bales, the store's owner. Although he knew he was nominated, he didn't know if or when the five-page feature would run.

"I had a couple of friends call and congratulate me, but I didn't know what they were talking about," he said Thursday. "But, yesterday, I got a magazine in and there it was."

A panel of judges votes on nominees, Bales said, and he believed his building's architecture and design contributed to the win.

The "Torin Bales experience" was another contributing


factor, said Janell McPhail, who owns Jet Marketing & Advertising. The jewelry store offers soda, snacks and even Blue Moon beer on tap to those who shop, she said, and also boasts a big-screen TV for shoppers who need a moment to sit down and relax.

Bales said he was proud of the recognition.

"I was absolutely floored," he said, explaining the publication had never before printed such a large spread for the feature. "For a store in Victoria to win, it was great."Study Abroad

In the last edition of OWL Twitter rivalries, I highlighted the most brutal social media takedowns, burns, and callouts leading up to the OWL pre-season. Since no matches had been played back then, teams were relying on 100% bravado to stoke rivalries and win over the social-media crowd eager to figure out which team to root for when the season officially started.

Fast forward to January and the start of the OWL league is upon us.

The league's pros have been busy grinding Overwatch matches and honing their team's synergies, but outside of the game, a different type of battle has been waging among the social media departments of each OWL team. Meme specialists were hired, graphic designers were scrutinized, and the

10. Dallas Fuel and Houston Outlaw's jersey turf war.

The rivalry between these two teams is seemingly never-ending, but this moment during the OWL pre-season stands out as one of the more memorable clashes. Dallas Fuel posts a video "fixing" a rack of Overwatch jerseys that happened to have Outlaws merchandise front and center. It was an immensely popular tweet because it was taken live at Blizzard Arena LA.

Then, Houston Outlaws immediately responds with their own video, trying to rectify the situation and place their jersey in front. Only whenPrivate schools in Pakistan's troubled north-western Swat district have been ordered to close in a Taleban edict banning girls' education. Militants seeking to impose their austere interpretation of Sharia law have destroyed about 150 schools in the past year. Five more were blown up despite a government pledge to safeguard education, it was reported on Monday. Here a seventh grade schoolgirl from Swat chronicles how the ban has affected her and her classmates. The diary first appeared on BBC Urdu online. THURSDAY JANUARY 15: NIGHT FILLED WITH ARTILLERY FIRE The night was filled with the noise of artillery fire and I woke up three times. But since there was no school I got up later at 10 am. Afterwards, my friend came over and we discussed our homework.


others said that their parents had decided to shift from Swat and go to other cities for the sake of their education. Since today was the last day of our school, we decided to play in the playground a bit longer. I am of the view that the school will one day reopen but while leaving I looked at the building as if I would not come here again. FRIDAY 9 JANUARY: THE MAULANA GOES ON LEAVE? Today at school I told my friends about my trip to Bunair. They said that they were sick and tired of hearing the Bunair story. We discussed the rumours about the death of Maulana Shah Dauran, who used to give speeches on FM radio. He was the one who announced theyesterday with military helicopters and the Taleban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taleban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools. Only 11 students attended the class out of 27. The number decreased because of Taleban's edict. My three friends have shifted to Peshawar, Lahore and Rawalpindi with their families after this edict. On my way from school to home I heard a man saying 'I will kill you'. I hastened my pace and after a while I looked back if the man was still coming behind me. But to my utter relief he was talking on his


Manhattan-based federal prosecutors are investigating whether some of the $107 million in donations to then President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural committee were misspent, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said the investigation arose in part from the slew of materials seized in April raids on Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, by federal prosecutors. Cohen on Wednesday was sentenced to three years in prison on charges that came in part from those April raids on his office and residence.

The criminal probe is also looking into whether some of the committee's top spenders traded money for access to the incoming Trump administration, as well as "policy concessions or to influence official administration positions," sources told the Journal.

"Giving money in exchange for political favorscould run afoul of federal corruption laws," the newspaper explained. "Diverting funds from the organization, which was registered as a nonprofit, could also violate federal law."

Federal prosecutors have reportedly also questioned Richard Gates — the ex-partner of onetime Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort — who pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy and lying charges lodged by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Gates, who has cooperated with investigators in Mueller's probe of Russian interference during the 2016 U.S. election, served as deputy chairman of Trump's inaugural committee.

The White House had no immediate comment on the report. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan declined CNBC's request for comment.

from Wing Stop compared to Meek's lobster ravioli. There are levels to this shit, and Meek has lapped even the Bawse himself to currently become the lone, true superstar of the Maybach Music Group.

While I have to say Meek's monster success is surprising, it shouldn't be shocking. His debut, Dreams & Nightmares, also sold well, topping 164,000 in traditional first week sales, but was also released back in 2012. While that album was propelled by a smash hit in "Amen," DWMTM failed to achieve similar success with any of its singles. Currently, "All Eyes on You" is seeing a good amount of traction, but released only days before the album; it couldn't have had much of an effect. That means Meek was still able to achieve extremely strongConfusion reigns over xenon demand

Following ongoing concerns regarding the raging demand for helium and insufficient supplies, it appears that market concerns are arising for the supply and cost of xenon as a sharp rise in demand is experienced in Japan – according to a report from The Gas Review.

Xenon is experiencing a sharp rise in demand in Japan for use in the semiconductor and PDP sectors. While this is naturally a good thing for the industry, shadows of gloom are, however, being cast on two extremely important issues in the market for 2008 – securing both the supply required and an agreeable price.

Japanese suppliers are going ahead with wholesaler negotiations regarding supply for 2008 but the issues of quantity and cost are yet to arrive at any conclusion.


of that produced in-house by Air Water. Contracts for the year from January to December are usually renewed in early autumn of the year before, however the negotiations of 2007 did not appear to be progressing as well as in previous years. A plausible reason for this is that large scale plants supplying crude gas, such as Sasol in South Africa and Sabic in Saudi Arabia, had been hit by explosions and fires causing the global supply and demand balance to break down considerably.

When an incident occurred at the Sasol plant in June 2007, Air Liquide immediately resorted to the Force Majeure clause in its contract and implemented supply restrictions of 30-50% to customers and affiliates worldwide. While this has since been relaxed, Praxair and Air Liquide –which had been procuring from Air Liquide on a non-ordinary basis – did not obtain sufficient supply quantities and a global supply shortage erupted.

East Asian scrambleAnother aspect of concern is the East Asian market, and Japan in particular. These markets showed a sharp growth in the demand for xenon and in the plasma CVD process in semiconductor fabrication, when it comes to state-of-the-art line-width under 65nm, xenon is required for the nitride film plasma.

Elpida Memory currently consumes an annual 600,000 litres and the Toshiba plant in Yokkaichi uses 360,000 litres, though Toshiba will be extending this to a massive 1.8 million litres. Added to this, Micron Japan began to use xenon in the summer of 2007 and there had been reports of Rexchip Semiconductor Corporation (a joint venture

There was an average annual precipitation of 26.57 inches for the period 1925 to 1936. During winter, snow is heavy and often accumulates at a depth of eight to ten feet. June is the driest month of the year, followed by May and early July.

Storms occur several times each week until early September. The highest portions of the plateau are usually touched by snow, and snowstorms usually occur in May and September.
