story that is devastatingly universal in its truths about life. In miraculous fashion, he’s able to synthesize the emotional highs of his previous film, the exuberantly alive 20th Century Women, into short-form, and still have viewers come away with similar feelings about life’s entire emotional spectrum.

During the Q&A, Berninger revealed that Mills even went into the studio when they were recording the album, becoming a creative director of sorts, something that was certainly seen during the band’s performance of their new album–as well as the event’s poster. As each song began, projected in text behind the band was the song title with what was clearly a Mills-selected color frame. For select songs, congruous text was displayed that differed from the lyrics, some pulled from the film and otherspresenting intriguing ideas connecting with what Berninger was singing.

Thanks to the location being nearby Brooklyn Youth Choir’s home base, they joined the stage and the band was able to debut three songs live they are featured on: Her Father In The Pool, Dust Swirls In Strange Light, and Underwater. Overall, the new album felt like a satisfying mix between the sublimely low-key Trouble Will Find Me (noticeably in the Patti Smith- and Robert Mapplethorpe-inspired Roman Holiday, Quiet Light, and Light Years) and the more poppy High Violet (particularly Where Is Her Head and Rylan). There was also the peculiarly lovely encore opener Not in Kansas, a ballad which contains lyrics about Annette Bening (someone’s been catching up on Mills’ films), alt-right opium going viral, and punching Nazis.

With the


album clocking in at over an hour (the longest in their discography), the live I Am Easy to Find comes across as a rather sprawling work as the band reaches for new heights through the use of choral arrangements and a new vocal perspective in their use of female artists, including Sharon Van Etten, Lisa Hannigan, Mina Tindle, and Kate Stables (the latter two which performed on stage).

During the Q&A, one audience member asked the band why they perhaps ignore their earlier albums. “They look zitty prom pictures,” added Berninger, refuting, “None of us are ashamed of those records at all. It was where we first figured out how to make sounds together.” Matched with the beauty of Mike Mills’ film, The National’s new music shows a clearmaturation for the band as they turn two decades old, while still carrying the Alligator– and Boxer–fueled spark that led to their breakthrough. Yes, they are conveyed with more lyrical grace and musical refinement, but these are still sad songs for dirty lovers in all their magnificent glory.

I Am Easy to Find is out May 17 via 4AD. See the schedule here for worldwide preview screenings of the film.


Celebrities eye GAA glory in new TV show

Eight celebrities have swapped their glamorous lifestyles for the raw passion of a GAA training ground.

The contestants of the new reality television show, 'Celebrity Bainisteoir', were revealed today as they took control their local football clubs.

Top model Glenda Gilson, celebrity solicitor Gerald Kean, journalist Nell McCafferty, comedian Jon Kenny, television presenter Baz Ashmawy, politician Mary O’Rourke, bookmaker Ivan Yates and former Rose of Tralee Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain have taken the reigns of an intermediate club football team in their home county.

Officially sanctioned by the GAA, the tournament will feature four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and the final, which is to be played on May 9 at Parnell Park in Dublin.

The show will hit our screens on RTÉ One starting Sunday, March 23.

Glenda,conflict involving local, regional, and international actors.

The Houthis, a group of Zaidi Shia Muslims who ruled a kingdom there for nearly 1,000 years, exploited widespread anger against President Hadi’s decision to postpone long-awaited elections and his stalled negotiations over a new constitution.

They marched from their stronghold of Saada province to the capital Sanaa and surrounded the presidential palace, placing Hadi under house arrest.

Prompting one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises in decades, a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened on March 26, 2015, at Hadi’s request, after the Houthis continued to sweep the south and threatened to conquer the last government stronghold of Aden.

After the coalition and local militias successfully fended off the Houthi takeover of Aden, they believed retaking Hodeidah could potentially open a pathway to


Sanaa.

But since late October, Western powers, outraged by the killing of Jamal Khashoggi and the ensuing humanitarian disaster in Yemen, called on both sides to come to the negotiating table.

After months of intense diplomacy, the office of the UN envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, managed to bring together the warring parties in Sweden where they agreed to a host of confidence-building measures, including a plan for the Houthis and pro-government forces to gradually leave the embattled city, a mass prisoner swap and an agreement to establish a humanitarian corridor in the province of Taiz.

What’s the situation in Hodeidah right now?

While the clashes have been restricted to southern neighbourhoods of Hodeidah city, the sound of gunfire and mortar fire were heard throughout much of the city on Monday.

According toresidents, the coalition resumed its air attacks on Friday, and tens of thousands of troops, drawn from local militias, southern separatists and units loyal to the country’s former president, had amassed on the city’s outskirts.

Al-Masirah, a pro-Houthi TV network, reported that at least four people, including a child, were injured in one attack on Monday.

However, one source said the port, which is a major lifeline for millions of Yemenis facing starvation, was spared from the latest round of clashes.

What is the ceasefire and when does it come into effect?

According to the UN, a ceasefire by the parties will come into effect in the city and the three ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Saleef at midnight local time (21:00 GMT) on Monday.

The Houthis will withdraw from the ports,


to keep them running.

What happens next?

The deal, if implemented on the ground, will represent a breakthrough because the port is the gateway for the bulk of humanitarian aid coming into the country.

By demilitarising Hodeidah, the UN will deliver aid to those living in areas whose supply routes have been cut off by fighting since June.

While a second round of talks is already expected to be held in January, a smooth ceasefire could lead to a fast framework for negotiations and a transitional governing body.

The Houthis, who have little to no support in the south, want a meaningful role in Yemen’s government and to rebuild their stronghold of Saada in the north of the country.The New York Times had an interesting item over the weekend on White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s operation, which included an anecdote I hadn’t seen elsewhere.

The new chief of staff has tried to shield Gary D. Cohn, the chairman of the National Economic Council, from Mr. Trump’s continuing wrath since the former Goldman Sachs executive went public with his disgust at the president’s response to the deadly violence last month in Charlottesville, Va. Mr. Kelly made a point, one staff member said, of throwing his arm around Mr. Cohn in solidarity, in full view of the news media, as they exited Marine One last week on the South Lawn. But he has not always been successful. Several aides said Mr. Trump is freezing out Mr. Cohn

Woodall Homes has brought more than 100 new homes to the north Derbyshire region in the last two years, and is currently constructing new developments in Chesterfield, Brimington, Long Duckmanton, Bolsover and Calow.

The organisation recently released The Pastures, a development of 33 new homes based in the village of Long Duckmanton, near Chesterfield.

Dave Wood, managing director of Woodall Homes, said: “We’re really excited to see George join the business, his appointment comes at an exciting time for our organisation as we look to develop the future of house building in the region.

Through rotating the cam, the regulation over the magnitude of being uplifted of the thermostatic bimetal strip is then available.
As a voltage is applied across the control terminals, the load circuit of the controlled heating appliance is being activated; meanwhile, the electric heating device located in the temperature control switch is conducted to heat, enabling an uplifted deformation of the thermostatic bimetal strip, subject to a temperature change, which makes the contact on the thermostatic bimetal strip apart from the second control terminal, enabling the electric


heating device to be disconnected from the electricity supply and quitted to heat. The thermostatic bimetal strip begins to cool and rebounds off the uplifting, until the contact on the thermostatic bimetal strip joins the second control terminal again, which reactivates the electric heating device to heat. By controlling the cyclic behavior of switching on and off the electric power for the electric heating device of the temperature control switch, to realize the function of controlling the working environment for the high power heating appliance within the predetermined temperature. As the cam is activated to rotate, the predetermined temperature can be altered by changing the magnitude of the uplifting of the thermostatic bimetal strip; therefore, a new temperature is arrived by heating the thermostatic bimetal strip, and atin transportation at the city and regional levels for several years.

Duncanville’s Grady Smithey, a former member of the Regional Transportation Council, sparked his interest in transportation, encouraging him to learn about the time a project takes from concept to construction. Franke also has been motivated by how transportation boosts quality of life.

Franke has represented Cedar Hill, Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster and Glenn Heights on the Regional Transportation Council since 2008. In those four short years, he has made his mark on transportation.

For centuries the need for the surgeon to learn more of the anatomy of the human body and to practice his art has required students of medicine to examine and dissect the bodies of the dead – obtained legally or otherwise – in private schools or, from the mid-eighteenth century, public hospitals. The work of Andreas Vesalius in Padua in the sixteenth century left a legacy of wonderful educational texts, beautifully illustrated.

For some, however, the horrors of the dissecting room disgusted and intrigued in equal measure, and the experience even now tests young stomachs.

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when methods of preserving cadavers were basic and bodies often decomposing before they reached the dissecting room, it took great mental fortitude (and much dark humour) to sustaindid they cope and what did the men (and it was only men who were allowed to pursue this career path in this period) take from their training as inspiration for use in other fields?

Hector Berlioz, the nineteenth century French composer, originally intended to be a doctor and was sent to study medicine in Paris in 1821. However, it was his first experience of the dissecting room that made his decision to pursue music as a career instead easy. He offers a graphic description of that moment…

When I entered that fearful human charnel house, littered with fragments of limbs, and saw the ghastly faces and cloven heads, the bloody cesspools in which we stood, with its reeking atmosphere, the swarms of sparrows fighting for scrapings and rats in


maggot-ridden.

The uncle of the famous doctor William Osler describes the rest of the scene:

On entering the room, the stink was most abominable. About 20 chaps were at work, carving limbs and bodies, in all stages of putrefaction, and of all colours; black, green, yellow or blue, while the pupils carved them apparently, with as much pleasure, as they would carve their dinners. One was pouring Terebinth on his subject, and amused himself with striking with his scalpel at the maggots, as they issued from their retreats.

The maggot stabbing was dangerous – a slip of the scalpel and a cut to the finger could introduce a lethal infection from which students could, and did, die.

Inspector of Georgetown, Colorado, Defendants-Appellants, and Cross-Appellees.

Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc.

*808 Richard E. Young, Frederick J. Lockhart, Jr., Denver, for appellees and cross-appellants.
Bradley, Campbell, & Carney, Daniel T. Moyle, Jr., Evergreen, for appellants and cross-appellees.
ERICKSON, Justice.
Georgetown is a municipal corporation created by the Colorado territorial legislature in 1868. The town and surrounding area are rich in the culture and history of early Colorado. In 1966, the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior designated the Georgetown/Silver Plume area as a registered National Historic Landmark District.
On May 18, 1970, the Board of Selectmen of Georgetown enacted Ordinance No. 205. The ordinance amended Georgetown's existing zoning ordinance by creating a Historic Preservation District (District) and a seven-member Historic Preservation Commission (Commission). The Districtdefinition of area, section VII(B)(5), supra, fails to set forth sufficient criteria to enable the potential applicant to reasonably ascertain in which area his property is situated.
The record indicates that the Commission members divide Georgetown into two or three distinct areas. Several members testified that Georgetown was divided into northern and southern areas. Still others, while agreeing that the northern and southern areas exist, felt that a transitional or buffer area exists between the two larger areas. The Commission's unpublished and indefinite delineation of the areas is legally insufficient.
We conclude that Ordinance Nos. 205 and 206 vested unreviewable discretion in the Commission. Under the ordinances a property owner cannot reasonably ascertain which architectural designs would entitle him to a certificate of appropriateness. Areas entitled to protection must be

Extreme insulin resistance syndrome.
Congenital extreme insulin resistance syndrome has rarely been reported in Taiwan. In 1982, a girl of a consanguineous marriage was noted to have increased body hair, an enlarged clitoris, and acanthosis nigricans at birth. Two months later, she received an operation for bilateral polycystic evaries. She was found to have diabetes at 8 years old and was treated with insulin. In March 1999, she was referred to our clinic with growth retardation and poor glycemic control. She had a characteristic face with a saddle nose, broad mouth, large low-set ears, absence of subcutaneous fat, and deformed nails. Although a very high dose of insulin (> 10 IU/kg/day) was used, her glycemic control was very poor (HbA1c 13.8%). Pediatricians should remain alert for the manifestations ofThe Miami Police Department has new union leadership, but its public statements remain as boneheaded as ever. Yesterday MPD Officer Mario Figueroa was acquitted of assault charges after he was filmed in May 2018 taking a running, football-punt-style kick at a handcuffed suspect's head. A judge ruled that because the kick actually missed, Figueroa didn't commit assault.

Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina yesterday told the Miami Herald that, even after the acquittal, he still doesn't think Figueroa should be a cop anymore. But MPD's Fraternal Order of Police, led by siblings Tommy and Matt Reyes, astoundingly chimed in on Twitter to say not only will the union defend him, but also Figueroa should be "commended" for his actions.

"It was going to be a kick and he deescalated as he


captain, was a stain on the city and department for years as union chief and routinely fought police oversight and for cops who'd been accused of heinous on-duty conduct. But in December 2018, a group of Ortiz-backed candidates lost their union elections, and brothers Tommy and Matt Reyes were elected president and vice president, respectively. During their campaign, the brothers explicitly accused Ortiz and his cronies of using the union to better themselves at the expense of the rest of the department.

Well, yesterday was an early test for the brothers, and they didn't exactly pass. Figueroa was caught on video taking a running kick at David V. Suazo, an alleged car thief who police say led cops on a chase through Overtown. The video shows Suazo lying onas an officer. — Miami FOP 20 (@miamifop) April 24, 2019

The Herald yesterday reported that Miami-Dade County Judge Michael Barket acquitted Figueroa halfway through his trial, before the defense even testified. After the prosecution rested its case, FOP lawyer Robert Buschel — most famous for defending Roger Stone after he was arrested as part of the Mueller investigation — asked the judge to acquit his client on the spot. Barket obliged in a move that the Herald said even caught Buschel off-guard

D. Impact on Counts I and II
In Counts I and II of the Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff HCS seeks damages and injunctive relief, respectively, as a result of the City's violation of HCS's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In these counts, the Synagogue alleges, inter alia, that the City's denial of the Special Exception violated the Synagogue's constitutional rights to free exercise of religion and freedom of assembly for purposes of worship and teaching. (D.E. 125, at 19.)
In order to obtain relief under Section 1983, Plaintiff must demonstrate that conduct under color of state law, complained of in the civil rights suit, violated its rights, privileges, or immunities under the Constitution or laws


family districts and would have been unlikely to *1341 enact an ordinance devoid of exception procedures. Removal of the Special Exception provision, therefore, cannot be accomplished without defeating the purpose of the statute and destroying the intent of the enacting body.
Accordingly, pursuant to the Court's authority to fashion a remedy for the City's violation of Plaintiff HCS's right to free exercise of religion and because the Court finds that Plaintiff HCS has been irreparably injured by the violation of its rights, the Court orders that the Synagogue shall be granted the Permanent Special Exception it was awarded by the DRB in March 2003, subject only to those conditions that are objective and definite.[10] Specifically, the Permanent Special Exception shall be conditioned upon the Synagogue building a six-foot soundproofingwall at the rear property line and providing a three-sided dumpster as approved by the City's Public Works department, provided that a list of approved dumpsters exists.[11]
Further, the Court orders that the City shall promptly enact new Special Exception ordinance(s) for places of worship, one(s) that contain "narrow, objective, and definite standards" guiding City officials in their review and that are otherwise constitutionally sound.
Last, the Court orders that the issue of damages that arise from Count I and that relate to the constitutional violation found here is properly placed before a jury for further determination.
V. Conclusion
As stated above, the Court recognizes that the City of Hollywood has a substantial interest in preserving the quality of urban life in its neighborhoods. Moreover, the Court accords great respect for the


City's interest in protecting the character and nature of neighborhoods in which single-family, detached dwellings predominate and in furthering the ability of its residents to engage in the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of their property.
However, the City of Hollywood, through its officials, is also charged with the protection of the religious freedoms that are found in the First Amendment and that form the cornerstone of American democracy. Zoning regulations that affect those freedoms must therefore be precise and objective in both their terms and their application. Our Constitution and our love of liberty demand no less.
Accordingly, it is:
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff Hollywood Community Synagogue's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (D.E. 190), filed March 21, 2006, is GRANTED in part and DENIED as moot in part as described'eyyy... yea...

If one moment stands out as the clearest signal yet of US President Trump turning his back on supporters, it was his announcement this week to re-escalate American military intervention in Afghanistan.

His signature campaign promise of putting “America First” and ending the folly of overseas wars launched by previous administrations was shredded on prime time television when he gave orders for thousands of more US troops to be sent to Afghanistan. The already 16-year war inportray himself as an “alpha-male” who is his own boss. It is abundantly clear now that Trump is a mere manikin who sits in the White House taking orders from his generals.

When Trump ousted Stephen Bannon, his staunchest ally in the White House, it was under the orders of the military figures who are now dominant in his administration. Trump’s chief of staff, former Marine General John Kelly, wanted Bannon out because of his contrarian views.

When Bannon gave a surprise interview last week contradicting the militarist policy on North Korea that was the last straw. Bannon said there was no military option in solving the North Korea standoff, which flew in the face of what the Pentagon has been advising Trump, with “all options on the table.” Only


from the White House, Trump delivers his U-turn on re-escalating the military involvement in South Asia, exactly as the Pentagon top brass had been urging.

With little or no policy achievements so far, Trump is emerging as a blowhard who is all too willing to toe the line to survive – even if that means stabbing his supposed allies in the back. This is a president who has a big mouth and big ego, and not much else. All the promises to his voter base are being seen to be cruel hoaxes, perpetrated by one who is always denouncing others over hoaxes.

The rise of the generals in Trump’s administration, alongside a weak-kneed figurehead president, should surely be cause for concern for its sinister constitutional implications. But disturbingly, the driftcompletely off the rails.”

Last week, too, when the five Joint Chiefs of Staff roundly rebuked Trump over his ambiguous comments on racial violence, the US media widely saw that intervention by the Pentagon as a welcome “disciplining” of the president.

It’s a sobering reality-check on how the supposed radical, populist president who promised to return governing power to the ordinary citizens is now firmly in the vice of a corporate-military cabal.

Look at Trump’s cabinet. Apart from the three generals, Kelly, McMaster and Mattis, the other key posts are run by an ex-oil CEO, Rex Tillerson at the State Department, and former Wall Street executives, Steven Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary, Gary Cohn as national economic adviser, and Wilbur Ross as Commerce Secretary.

Amazon's chief executive, Jeff Bezos, has written to staff defending his company's human resources policy, following a New York Times article claiming a cruel and back-stabbing environment at the online retailer.

The article, based on interviews with current and former Amazon staffers, claims employees were pushed to extremes and managers showed little sympathy or empathy to workers even when they were faced with illnesses or bereavements.

In a memo to staff, obtained by CNBC, Bezos encouraged staff to read the article, but added:observing the house are any indication, the peanut gallery has more representation than anyone else in our province’s legislature. With the non-stop heckling that goes on there, the house of assembly evokes the detention hall more than the hallowed offices of the Queen’s own chamber.”

The Deseret News published an article written by Jack Anderson on the June 1, 1976 that addressed the issue of whether Jimmy Carter was the “trust-me candidate” and “a phony” in his bid to become the President of the United States of America. A quick snapshot of the then-governor of Georgia revealed interesting facts and was entitled thusly:

It is easy enough for a hostile Governor to frame reasons for refusing to sign a bill.

The phrase peanut politicswas used in such a way as to make clear that its meaning was understood by New York Times readers.

In theater talk, the peanut gallery was made up of the cheapest seats in the house. In Britain, those who sat in the cheapest seats were called the gallery gods. However, it should be noted that in America, the favorite theater snack at the time was peanuts still in their shells. As such, when theater patrons in the cheapest seats were dissatisfied with a performance, they adopted the habit of throwing the peanut shells at those performers they held responsible for the poor performance. Of all the theater patrons, thoseas the lunatic fringe of extremism.

Harry S. Truman urged President Eisenhower today to use vigorous action rather than pious phrases against “political assassins” and a GOP “lunatic fringe” which he said are destroying unity and the basis for a bipartisan

In reading the archives of the New York Times, I found this passage in an article entitled, “We Can Have Sing Sing And Reform, Too” that was published on February 15, 1916:

Unfortunately there is around this modern conception of crime that “lunatic fringe” to which Colonel Roosevelt once referred as the unavoidable adjunct of every advanced movement and cause, including his own. Sentimentalists have taken it up, as well as men of sense and practicality, and the result has been a somewhat widespread feeling that the tendency of the reformers wasmore of the taxpayers’ millions in subsidies

Decades earlier, on March 16, 1893 the phrase was used in a New York Times article about Jersey City property owners who were upset over awards made by the Commissioners for property taken for the construction of the new boulevard in Hudson County. Owners felt that the project suffered from what they called “monstrous waste and jobbery.” At the time of writing, the Board Of Freeholders had spent one million dollars on the project that, upon completion, would be a mud road and nothing more. The headline for this story was:

in light of the fact that the saying is found in an article published on July 23, 1880 in the Timaru Herald in New Zealand. On page 2, the following is found in an article discussing the Otago Harbor Board Bill and local indebtedness. It read, in part, as follows:

This argument raising further opposition to the Bill and a feeling being expressed that it would be better for the Harbor Board to stop its works and even to stop payment, than to go on throwing good money after bad.

the Old French caution which meant security or surety. The Old French word was from the Latin word cautionem (or cautio) meaning caution, foresight or precaution, and this was from the word cavere which meant “to be on one’s guard.”

The term cautio was traced back to Roman times in the reference book, “A Summary of the Roman Civil Law, Illustrated By Commentaries On and Parallels from the Mosaic, Canon, Mohammedan, English and Foreign Law” by Patrick Colquhoun. The book references a number of cautio.

It is understood, however, that the third-party agrees to abide by whatever decisions are arrived at by thehe were permitted to drop a brick into the proceedings, he would remind them that, despite the exchange of nice sentiments between farmer co-operators and industrial co-operators, it was the latter who deliberately went out to defeat the West of Scotland Milk Pool, which 10 years ago marked the first large-scale attempt by agricultural producers of Great Britain to control their own marketing on voluntary lines.

It might be easy to assume that the expression was unique to Scotland back then, however, the expression appeared on October 20, 1929 in a New York Times article entitled, “Free State Politicians Plan Move To End Barring Of A Catholic Ruler” by M.G. Palmer. It was found on page 3 in the Editorial section and began with:

of the Northeast Wisconsin Teacher’s Association, given by Principal Charles C. Parlin in Oshkosh (WI) on February 4, 1910 entitled “The Twentieth Century High School” included this comment:

In the old school, discipline was a contest of wits, between the shrewd boys and the principal. It furnished a type of training not altogether useless to the boy and often very valuable to the teacher. I suppose many a man that has left the school rostrum to win distinction in politics or business could justly attribute his success to that training. But the school is now too big, the interests are too many, for the principal to spare time for any such enlivening pastime. The boy who is inclined to drop a brick-bat into the complicated machinery of a modernletters addressed to other people. The title of the story?

Accidentally On Purpose

In the book “Lady Morgan’s Memoirs: Autobiography, Diaries and Correspondence, Volume I” the following is found in Chapter X entitled, “Thomas Dermody – The Poor Scholar” on page 90:

Among her guests she frequently numbered the young Marquis of Granby, the son of a former brilliant and well-remembered, lord-lieutenant, who was quartered in the garrison. On the occasions of a fête given specially for him by Mrs. Austen, she commanded her young poet laureate to compose an ode in favour of the vice-regal reign of the Duke of Rutland, with a well-turned compliment to his handsome son. Dermody neglected the order — perhaps “accidentally on purpose” — he thought the desire fulsome, and he had become restive. Mrs.


it signifies.

Because of the satire in the book, the book was banned by the Inquisition in 1760, and it was forbidden not only to publish the book but to discuss its contents. Seven years later, José Francisco de Isla was expelled from Spain. But as is the case with all good literature, the book continued to be published by a number of brave souls. The book is now considered a literary masterpiece.

Despite all attempts to find an earlier version of this phrase, Idiomation found nothing before its publication in “The History Of The Famous Preacher Friar Gerun de Campazas” and so the first use of the phrase goes to at least 1760 … the year the book was banned by the Inquisition.

There’s a phrase that is rising into say and do.

In Thomas D. Taylor’s short story “Skeleton Key” published in 2013, the narrator shares this with the reader:

The man was hardly more than a boy though he must have been in his mid-twenties. He was blond, fair looking but resembled an accountant more than a jock. He had glasses, wispy hair and was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans. The woman he was with wore white shorts and a blue and white striped top. She was also blond but had no characteristics of the familiar stereotype. This one was all sense and no nonsense.

While the phrase isn’t heard very often these days, it was used in an advertisement in the Spokane Daily Chronicle on February 26, 1943 where the headline read:

All Sense And No


Nonsense About These Slack Suits For Your Working Hours.

The slack suits they were selling were described thusly:

Designed primarily for play, slack suits have been taken up with gusto by today’s busy women for their working hours. They’re comfortable as an old shoe, yet are so beautifully tailored and styled, they give you that neat, concise look that’s important these days.

Back in 1873, the expression was found in “The National Teacher: A Monthly Educational Journal: Volume III” edited by Emerson Elbridge White. In the Editorial Department, on page 507, the following was written:

School Commissioner Harvey has attended a large number of the institutes in Ohio this year, rendering valuable assistance. His public addresses are highly commended by the press. An eminent educator who heard him at a recent institute,writes: “Commissioner Harvey is capital — all sense and no nonsense. No teacher can hear him without benefit.”

Taking the phrase apart, the no nonsense part of the phrase actually originates from the phrase to stand no nonsense which, according to numerous dictionaries, was sporting slang back in 1821.

The word nonsense itself entered the English language from the French word nonsens sometime in the 1610s. The French word meant that something was either ridiculous or wildly unreasonable.

Since the expression was used in a published magazine in 1873, it is reasonable to believe that the expression all sense and no nonsensewas in use at least one generation prior to 1873, putting it at sometime in the late 1840s or early 1850s.

The expression holy moleyis meant to express surprise and it


is one Walter Murphy and holy moley, it appears to be the same Walter Murphy who had a hit by bringing Ludwig van Beethoven to the disco with “A Fifth of Beethoven” back in 1976.)

The expression has been used in countless headlines such as the Los Angeles Times Special by Lynn Simross that was published in the June 9, 1976 edition of the Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper. With the resurgence in the popularity in action comic books, illustrator Donato “Don” Rico was interviewed for the story. Rico was responsible for creating Gary Stark, a teenaged Merchant Mariner, and Micky Starlight during the golden age of comic books. That article was entitled:

It was a tip of the hat to Captain Marvel’s characteristic exclamation in the comicJet Aviation, Inc., struck hundreds of sea gulls seconds after take off from Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio.  The sea gulls were flushed from the airport runway by the aircraft as it became airborne and collided with the plane over the airport runway.  The plane immediately suffered a substantial loss of power and began to descend while still over land.  It struck the airport perimeter fence, then hit a pick-up truck, and finally settled a short distance off shore into the navigable waters of Lake Erie.

No persons were killed or injured, but the aircraft was alleged to be a total loss as a result of the soaking in the waters of Lake Erie.

The passenger alleged that the fall was caused by negligent placement or construction of the ship's gangplank.  The Supreme Court said:

12
"By reason of that neglect, as the libel alleges, she fell from the plank and was violently thrown forward upon the dock.  Neither the short distance that she fell nor the fact that she fell on the dock and not in the water, alters the nature of the cause of action which arose from the breach of duty owing to her while she was still on the ship and using its facility for disembarking.

13
"This view is supported by the weight of authority in the federal courts.  In The Strabo, [D.C.] 90 Fed. 110, 98 Fed. 998, libelant, who was working on a vessel lying ata dock, attempted to leave the vessel by means of a ladder which, by reason of the master's negligence, was not secured properly to the ship's rail and in consequence the ladder fell and the libelant was thrown to the dock and injured.  The District Court, sustaining the admiralty jurisdiction, asked these pertinent questions (90 Fed. p. 113): 'If a passenger, standing at the gangway, for the purpose of alighting, were disturbed by some negligent act of the master, would the jurisdiction of this court depend upon the fact whether he fell on the dock, and remained there, or whether he was precipitated upon the dock in the first instance, or finally landed there after first falling on some part of the ship?

Appellants allege that the crash was caused by failure of defendants to warn the pilot of the aircraft of the presence of "a sea of birds" on the runway, which fact was known to defendants or their agents but not to the pilot because of the topography of the runway.

The crew of the aircraft survived and the pilots by deposition provided the District Court with this vivid and undisputed summary of the crash.

The holding of Chapman has been praised in The American Law Institute, Study of the Division of Jurisdiction Between State and Federal Courts, Sec. 232 (1969), which presents the point of view of critics of the "locality alone" test.

LEIPZIG, Germany — A little more than three years ago, the man in charge of the most ambitious project in European soccer sat in front of a promising young player in a Cypriot hotel and told him the future.

At the time, the man, Ralf Rangnick, a well-traveled German coach with an urbane, faintly academic air, seemed an unlikely clairvoyant. And his pitch to Yussuf Poulsen, a young Danish forward, did not seem to be a strong one. Rangnick’s club, RB Leipzig, was attempting to escape the fourth tier of German soccer. It did not have a famous name, or much of a history. His predictions, too, struck Poulsen as distinctly outlandish: promotion all the way to a place among Germany’s elite in just three seasons.

“He said this clubof the societal degeneration predicted by Chazal during Ikvesa d’Mashicha. Yet he would surely have been amazed by how rapid have been those processes of degeneration. That decline long preceded the internet, which has only further accelerated the downward spiral, and they have not left the Torah world unscathed. Reversing that spiral is not just a technical problem, and the answer will not lie in technical adjustments.

About five years ago, I formulated an Internet policy for Yeshiva Darchei Noam where I serve as Dean. It was designed to be “real” — something that parents would be able to respect and adhere to, rather than one that would be so restrictive that it would be ignored.

Recently, our Rosh HaYeshiva, Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky, shlit”a and I decided to raise awareness among our school parents about the need to follow our technology policy and at the same time, add several components to it to reflecton either side of a center longitudinal axis of the piston and delimit the connecting rod ends, forming an intermediate space. The bearing regions of the pivot bearing are designed as cylinder bodies having a crucible-like cross-section, of which each cylinder body has a base wall and a bearing ring jacket. The base walls of the two cylinder bodies extend at a distance from each other, and the bearing ring jackets surrounding the base walls are guided away from the base walls in opposite directions. One or more connecting supports run between the base walls. The bearing ring jackets cooperate with the piston boreholes in a rotatably movable manner. The base walls are connected to bearing bushings which are oriented in the axial direction of the pivot bearing


the cylinder bodies, of which two connecting supports are provided in the direction of the piston crown of the piston at a distance from the connecting rod eye plane intersecting the centers of the connecting rod bolts of the connecting rod ends on the one hand, and from the center longitudinal axis of the piston on the other hand. The third connecting support, in the direction of the crankshafts, is located spaced from the connecting rod end plane of the center longitudinal axis of the piston.
The installation of the connecting rods is facilitated in that, originating from the first ring section of the cylinder bodies, which is directed to the piston crown to the second, opposing ring section of the cylinder bodies, which is directed toward the crankshafts,the base walls of the cylinder bodies diverge in a V-shaped manner so as to form the intermediate space for the connecting rod ends in a defined manner. The component is optimized when the bearing bushings protrude at a defined distance beyond the radial delimiting planes of the bearing jackets, and also when each bearing ring jacket on an inside in the region of the bearing bushings is provided with the first local thickened sections and is located spaced from the connecting rod end plane between the first thickened sections and the bolt boreholes of the bearing bushings. Moreover, the bearing bushings comprise second thickened sections in the region that faces the crankshafts.
The technical design sets standards, wherein, originating from the inside of the first ring section, one

It is imperative for regulatory agencies to work towards achieving harmonized regulatory systems to raise the quality of MDs in their respective country to meet international standards. Policies and regulations should be reviewed periodically to respond to changes in technologies by incorporating appropriate amendments. Indian government has taken several initiatives towards this harmonization by bringing out new guidelines, drafting MD Regulation bill, revamping the Schedule M-III, publication and dissemination of guidance documents and public awareness through several meetings and hosting clarifications on CDSCO site. The industry has also geared up as reflected from the increased number of MD applications received/processed by the CDSCO having incrementally gone up from 0 (in 2005) --- 300 (in 2006) --- 450 (in 2007) --- 400 (in 2008)


Story highlights Cpl. Joshua Hargis was injured in Afghanistan

He was presented with a Purple Heart in a bedside ceremony

A photo of his salute has received thousands of shares on social media

If one image can tell an entire story, this is a powerful example.

The photo is set in a hospital room. A patient with a neck brace, tubes attached everywhere, draped in a red, white and blue quilt, is lying in a bed. His bandaged right arm is raised in what we now know is a salute.

His face is mostly obscured, but the photo captures details such as the color of the patient's hair, the shadow of what appears to be a large bruise on his left cheek and a Purple Heart medal pinned to the quilt.

The patient isCpl. Joshua Hargis, 24. His wife, Taylor, calls him Josh. The photo has been shared thousands of times since Taylor posted it to her Facebook page nearly a week after he was injured during a military operation in Afghanistan that killed four troops and injured 14.

She posted the image with the following story:

"I received this picture today along with a letter from the commander of the team Josh was a part of on the night of his injuries. A letter to explain to me what kind of man I have the privilege of being married to. He explained to me what happened and what was going on in the picture."

She then posted the contents of the letter she says she received:

"Josh was seriously wounded as you know and


survived for almost two hours after his injury before arriving to the hospital. Josh was immediately pushed through a series of surgeries and emerged hours later into an intensive care unit here at our base in Afghanistan. Despite being in intense pain and mental duress, Josh remained alert and compassionate to the limited Rangers that were allowed to visit him bedside.

"Prior to Josh being moved to Germany for his eventual flight to America, we conducted a ceremony to award him with the Purple Heart for wounds received in action. A simple ceremony, you can picture a room full of Rangers, leaders, doctors, and nurses surrounding his bedside while the Ranger Regimental Commander pinned the Purple Heart to his blanket.

"During the presentation the Commander publishes the official orders verballyand leaned over Josh to thank him for his sacrifice. Josh, whom everybody in the room (over 50 people) assumed to be unconscious, began to move his right arm under the blanket in a diligent effort to salute the Commander as is customary during these ceremonies. Despite his wounds, wrappings, tubes, and pain, Josh fought the doctor who was trying to restrain his right arm and rendered the most beautiful salute any person in that room had ever seen.

"I cannot impart on you the level of emotion that poured through the intensive care unit that day. Grown men began to weep and we were speechless at a gesture that speak volumes about Josh's courage and character. The picture, which we believe belongs on every news channel and every


news paper is attached. I have it hanging above my desk now and will remember it as the single greatest event I have witnessed in my ten years in the Army."

A military spokeswoman confirmed that Hargis was awarded the medal while hospitalized in Afghanistan. Tracy A. Bailey, a deputy public affairs officer, also confirmed the sentiment expressed by the commander in the letter. The Bravo Company commander, Bailey said, did not want to be identified.

Hargis is one of 14 troops injured during a night combat operation in the Zhari district of Kandahar province, Afghanistan, on October 6.

During the mission, a suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive near the assault force. As the assault force reacted to the initial blast, they were struck by a series of explosions, killingfour soldiers, including two Army Rangers.

While the photo continues to circulate around social media, Hargis is recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. Bailey said Hargis was "not in a position" to make a statement to the media, but he did post a thank-you to supporters on his Facebook page last week.

"A huge thank you to everyone who was a part of this and is now a part of it. Only through your love and support may we overcome this difficult road ahead," Hargis wrote.

Neither the family nor the military immediately disclosed details about his injuries. But Joshua's father, Jim Hargis, told CNN affiliate WXIX that his son lost both legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device.

A friend posted this response, which sums


state and territory governments.

It comes shortly after the government released a report that shows high levels of victim-blaming among young people.

Research found boys and young men were quick to externalise their behaviour, often blaming women.

The sex discrimination commissioner, Kate Jenkins – who took up her post on Monday – backed the campaign.

“Young people learn their values and develop their attitudes at home and at school and at university, and our research is telling us very clearly we need to urgently focus on the young,” she told the National Press Club.

“They showed a higher level of attitudinal support for violence against women than older age groups and they were also less likely to support gender equality in decision-making within relationships – that is they were more likely to believeHarley-Davidson motorcycles, plus several on Lotus Formula 1 cars, as well as biographies of racing drivers Graham Hill, Ronnie Peterson and Ayrton Senna.

Second fox attack twin discharged

The parents of twin girls mauled by a fox as they slept in their cots have said “it is incredible to have our beautiful girls back home”.

Nine-month-old Isabella Koupparis left hospital on Thursday, joining her sister Lola, who was discharged last Friday.

The twins were found crying and covered in blood after the fox went into their upstairs bedroom in Hackney

Their parents Nick and Pauline said: “As Isabella has just arrived home, we want to spend this wonderful day celebrating as a family.

“It is incredible to have our beautiful girls back home at last.”

The twins were found crying and covered in blood after the fox went into their upstairs bedroom in Hackney, east London, on June 5.

It is thought to have crept in through adoor on the ground floor of the smart three-storey house, which was left open because of the hot weather, while the children’s parents watched Britain’s Got Talent on television.

Barts and the London NHS Trust said in a statement: “Isabella Koupparis was discharged from the Royal London Children’s Hospital to continue her recuperation at home following successful treatment.

Lola was treated at the same hospital.

Isabella also received treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London before returning to the Royal London.

The twins’ four-year-old brother Max, who was also sleeping upstairs, was not hurt in the attack.

...was the date in Back To The Future (1985) on which Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) accidently time-travelled to 1955. In honor of that date's anniversary (and since I completely missed all the fun of the Back to the Future 25th anniversary last year) here's the cover from the 1985 souvenir magazines. The cover art—painted by poster-ace Drew Struzan—is one of the most recognizable (and best) movie posters ever. I have a great affection for movie programs and souvenir

There seems to be at least one reference to Disney in every episode of The Big Bang Theory, and tonight's installment was no exception. Since the Big Bang guys are all comic fans it seemed inevitable that a Disney comic book reference would pop up sooner or later, and tonight's was a good one. In this episode entitled "The Wiggly Finger Catalyst," Sheldon used the often-discussed question of whose fortune is larger, Richie Rich's or Uncle Scrooge's, to describe Raj's wealth. (The answer is, needless to say, Uncle Scrooge.) Sheldon simply explained that Raj's family is "Richie Rich rich" or "about halfwaybetween Bruce Wayne and Scrooge McDuck.' Leave it to Dr. Sheldon Cooper to put it all in perspective in such a colorful comic-centric manner—a way which even the non-geniuses among us can understand. (and in case you are wondering, the Uncle Scrooge cover pictured here was published in 1961, and the Richie Rich cover was issued in 1976. It doesn't take a genius to figure out who stands the tallest between these two diminutive financial giants.)

The movie Little-Big presents the strange love story between Bulgarian metalhead Boris Red and Chalga-Pop princess Desi Slava, a musician and a singer from two extremes of Bulgarian society. The movie further highlights video clips from a variety of Bulgarian music subcultures.

Filmmaker Yassen Grigorov and Chalga-Pop-Star Desi Slava

Chalga and metal simultaneously emerged during the 1980s in the margins of Bulgaria’s socialist realist music genres: folklore, estrada (Soviet-style pop and rock) and classical music. The regime designed these three music-styles to propagate its social engineering enterprise. «Modern» music forms, together with long rows of uniform apartment blocks, geometrical boulevards, industrial plants and neighbourhood parks were intended to mediate the evolution of Bulgarian peasants, Roma, Turks and other post-Ottoman ethnic minorities into an «authentic» homogeneous European nation. Metal and chalgaCan Bulgarian metal and chalga generate a shared space of democratic Bulgarian identity? The movie Little-Big suggests that yes, but not as one shared musical form. The film presents scenes in which Bulgarian metalheads and chalgadzhii interact with each other but only in brief encounters, coexistence of hostility, or fantasy. This presentation is self-ironic, because, at the bottom line, the two subcultures perform the same complex of Bulgarian marginality. Metalheads try to be modern by rejecting Bulgarian locality and replicating European counterculture; chalgadzhii by reaffirming that Bulgaria is indeed a marginal hybridity of European modernity.

To understand, one perhaps has to go back to events that occurred over the past several weeks. First, the 68th session of UN General Assembly in late September coincided with a Russian-American accord over the future of Syria and possibly on other matters as well.

True, what happened afterward did not go much beyond formalities. US President Barack Obama had a much hyped phone conversation with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Still, these formalities had a lot of significance. Washington now realizes that its proxies in the Middle East no longer have the ability to settle conflicts in their – and its – favor. Clearly, Saudi Arabia can use its assets to send car bombs, stage terror attacks of various kinds, and recruit, fund,and deploy fighters to Iraq and Syria, but it cannot win any wars.

The Saudis should be aware of this, but perhaps they have not yet been able to take all these variables in, let alone analyze and assimilate them. Nevertheless, they must have no doubt felt that they are now out of the game – moving from the core to the periphery, and further toward irrelevance.

The Threat From the North

A month after the September 11 attacks, Saudi Arabia identified the threats facing the kingdom in a study presented by Prince Nayef bin Ahmed al-Saud, a colonel in the Saudi air force. The study, published in the US, claimed that the threats to Saudi came primarily from the north, stating, “Looking to the Persian Gulf in the past decades,


Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif. The Saudi foreign minister, perhaps for the first time in the history of UN General Assembly meetings, completely avoided the media.

Faisal must have felt that the US-Saudi alliance was in danger, realizing that the master does not usually consult with its proxy about its fate at the end of the journey.

His meetings with Western officials were extremely limited, and he did not make any statements. In fact, he appeared flustered from the moment he first entered UN headquarters, and on one occasion, his bodyguard had to prop him up and stop him from falling.

He then left New York without delivering his speech at the General Assembly, and did not even ask the Saudi UN envoy to deliver it on his behalf. Theits foes.

On Friday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced that Saudi Arabia had not yet officially notified the UN of its rejection of the Security Council seat. Speaking to reporters in New York, he said that replacing Saudi Arabia at the council was up to the member states.

Meanwhile, Russia blasted the Saudi move. In a statement on Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, “The kingdom's arguments arouse bewilderment, and the criticism of the UN Security Council in the context of the Syria conflict is particularly strange.”


That is why the bank credits the victim's account, because the victim has vouched for the check. When the check later turns out to be fraudulent, the victim owes the bank money.
In theory, people who endorse a fraudulent check could be criminally prosecuted, but that does not happen normally.

Why would you ask "is the money yours", when you know it isn't?
When we were young children we were told "two wrongs don't make a right".
As an adult we know that breaking the law "to get back at" someone we perceive as breaking the law is illegal.  In sports and in real life, the retaliator often receives a worse punishment than the initial rule violator.
In the case mentioned, the second part of the "scam" wouldof the Silver
Screen certificate and Movie
Theater popcorn, as he was sent to Hollywood twice in the same
game. The GM picked up miniature pieces from swap meets to substitute
for the game pieces at the "Fun Table."

In one extraordinary game, all four players received lousy
starting lair rolls, so the military was mobilized and ready
at the onset. All four players were sent to Hollywood (the only
game in the tournament where this was reported). The military
research Mecha-Monster won the game for Mike Lam's Navy, the
first reported military win in the history of the tournament!

28 players participated in Round 2, including six of the eight
semifinalists from 1999. But all six veterans were knocked out
of the tournament. The room was rocking with the sounds of players
yelling during the MONSTER challenges. Only Circus Maximus
and Slapshot


produced this much noise! In defeat,
1999 champ Marvin Birnbaum shouted "Super Colossal Guy JUST
RAN THE TABLE." Seth Kirchner made the semifinals as his
military research unit defeated three MONSTERS, entering the
final combat with 40 health, and beating a MONSTER with Armor
Scales and War Spikes, as the military recorded its second win!
Seth was joined in the semifinals by Jonathan Gemmel of Brookfield,
CT, and both David Brooks and Reiko McQuiston of Memphis TN.

The semifinals saw the first critical use of the scoresheets
to break a tie and decide alternates. Both Tom Meier and Reiko
McQuiston had scores of 36, but Tom had four toys and Reiko had
only two, so Tom advanced, while Reiko took 5th place.

Two of the four finalists included Joe Sposito and Rebecca Hebner.
Wait a minute, is this a review ofthe Junior tournament? They're
both 12 years old and they both played in the MONSTERS Ravage
AmericaJunior event. But they both made the finals of
the adult tournament, fair and square! Players who arrive in
the teaching hour can start early. So Joe's table started early,
and finished so fast that they played a second tournament game
during the same heat! In the first game, one of Joe's victims
was Joshua Garton, who had the highest AREA rating in the world
at the time. Joshua won the second game and advanced to Round
2, thanks in part to three cups of coffee, chased by a Pepsi!
We scraped him off the ceiling when the game concluded. Joe Sposito
won his Round 2 and his semifinal game to advance to the final.

In Heat 1, Rebecca Hebner, whose MONSTER had Brain


Rot, defeated
Ben Knight, one of the game's co-designers, and...Joshua Garton.
Ben was playing it as his team game. In Round 2 Rebecca beat
the GM, Mark Love, who was also playing it as his team game.
Rebecca and Mark each had two health in the last round of the
last Challenge, and Mark had Armor Scales. Rebecca rolled a 5
and 6 to win! Rebecca went on to win the semifinal game and truly
earned her place at the final table.

Steve Scott made the finals and had actually designated Monsters
Ravage America as his team game - last year! He switched
to something else this year! He won his heat game by getting
control of the Challenge, since he had the MONSTER with the weakest
health, at only 8. Steve won the Round 2 game with the onlyMONSTER
with mutations that could be used in the Challenge. He made the
finals as an alternate, after losing to Joe Sposito in the semifinal.

In Tom Meier's heat game, two other players were sent to Hollywood,
including Paul Bolduc, recipient of the Best Sound Award for
2000, as he awakened the war gamers in the Valley room. Playing
the Dust Devil, Tom stomped his goal and only three cities the
entire game. His 13 health was the highest and enough to win.
In Round 2, it appeared that Tom would fall to AREA champ Joshua
Garton. Late in the game, the Blonde Lure sent Joshua's GLOW
WYRM to San Diego, where five planes and Mech-Monster were waiting.
With the Guard Commander research card, Tom used the entire National
Guard infantry and two Army units to send BRONACLE to Hollywood
just


from the National Guard units that she controlled!
Joe's IXITPLA mutated at Roswell and got the Son of MONSTER egg
- and his fifth toy! He SSSSSSS'd his MONSTER sound! Rebecca
scored two hits on Tom's GLOW WYRM with her Air Force cruise
missiles. She shouted "Yeah Bobby Lee!" (Must be a
wargamer) Tom stomped his goal and two military bases in the
process, with two footprints left!

Rebecca had a clear shot at LA, but she capitalized on stomping
Sacramento to start the Challenge. Joe's IXITPLA jumped into
the Meteor Crater to steal the Challenge for himself, his only
chance of winning, with only 18 health. He attacked his own
Super Colossal Guy first, adding two to his health. Joe faced
Rebecca next, but her 31 health was too much and she took over
the Challenge, losing three health inthe process. Rebecca attacked
Steve Scott's BRONACLE, who had quietly accumulated 32 health
and an infamy marker. Steve won the battle and increased his
health to 42. But Tom Meier's GLOW WYRM had High Octane Blood,
which gave him the first attacks, three extra attacks from Infamy,
and his Armor Scales provided a defense of 4. Even though Tom's
health was only 23, the extra attacks helped and the mutation
held up famously as GLOW WYRM became King of the MONSTERS. Tom
had never played the game before the convention and won the plaque
and a copy of Rio Grande's T-Rex. Ironically, the two adults
who finished 1st and 2nd had both advanced as alternates after
losing to the same two12-year-olds, who ended up finishing third
and fourth.

MONSTERS RAVAGE AMERICA JUNIOR:

12
juniors appeared from their lairs to play in the junior


version
of the game available to those 12 and under. In the first round,
Karl Henning earned sixth place in the tournament while Joe Sposito,
who ended up in the finals of the ADULT tournament, didn't make
the junior final, settling for fifth place.

The final was one of the most entertaining boardgames ever
played, worthy of a MONSTER movie script! Michelle Arnold took
a commanding lead, stomping New York City and Philadelphia. Patrick
Crowe attacked his OWN cruise missile at his OWN military base,
in the
hopes of mutating his DUST DEVIL. He took four damage instead!
Rebecca Hebner succeeded with two military research attempts
on the same turn. She got Super Colossal Guy and X-Fighters.
Michelle mutated and got the MONSTER-slowing Brain Rot. She also
got on the same turn the military's Stabilizer Ray, which removes
all mutations if the militarydamages the MONSTER in an attack.
Hmmm. Michelle was then attacked by Matt Beach's Rogue Nuke -
and knocked it down before it could detonate! Rebecca fired a
cruise missile at Michelle, saying, "It's nothing against
you, but I don't want you to win." Michelle's GLOW WYRM
slapped down that one too! Michelle then walked into Boston which
contained Matt's laser mine. She lost
five health from the mine and gained five from stomping the city.
Michelle was living a charmed life!

Rebecca offered to give Patrick a stuffed KONK that was being
tossed back and forth over the game board if he would agree not
to attack her with his three planes and cruise missile. Patrick
immediately back-stabbed her, but Rebecca's F'ROTHOMIR wiped
the entire force off the map without taking any losses! THAT'S
payback! Meanwhile Michelle implemented a plan to


rid her GLOW
WYRM of Brain Rot. She entered a city that contained four of
her OWN military units and declared the use of the Stabilizer
Ray. If her MONSTER took any damage at all, the bad mutation
would be removed. She proceeded to DEFEAT all four of her OWN
units WITHOUT taking any damage!

Michelle was still running away with the game, by a wide margin,
on health points. Patrick decided to make a suicide attack, as
he entered a space containing a snack city and FIVE of Matt's
Army tanks. Patrick took almost no damage, but he was retreated
by Matt, who successfully rolled for military research for the
retreat. Matt drew the only bad research card in the deck. He
had to hand the Blob card to...Patrick, which was immediately
use to WIPE OUT the stack of fivetanks he had JUST attacked!
YES, THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Two 10 year-olds
then rushed into the room to excitedly announce in triumph, "JOSH
TOUCHED ME!"

Michelle took the last footprint marker to start the Challenge.
Matt had a mutation which gave him the first attack in the
Challenge, so he attacked Denver instead of stealing it. Rebecca
and Patrick also passed on stealing the Challenge, and Michelle's
charmed life seemingly continued, as she retained the Challenge
with 40 health and two Infamy markers. But her luck began to
change for the worse. She defeated Patrick's DUST DEVIL, but
his War Spikes reduced her health to 32 as Patrick took fourth
place. She then defeated Super Colossal Guy and Mecha-Monster,
with her health left at 30. Michelle then took on Matt's BRONACLE,
who had 27 health and a defense of 4


from Armor Scales. The mutation
turned the tide, as Michelle fell and took second place on points.
Matt Beach now stood with 49 health against Rebecca's 33 and
won the
tournament. Rebecca, who took second in the 1999 junior tournament,
went on to take third in the 2000 adult tournament, proving that
the juniors can hold their own with the adults in this game.Jonathan Case is the creator of the graphic novel Dear Creature, about an atomic sea mutant modeled after B-horror movies from the 60s, but with the soul of a poet.

ROME – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is extremely concerned by the destruction this week of food intended for hungry people in the besieged enclave of Eastern Ghouta, about 15 kilometres from the Syrian capital, Damascus. The food was destroyed during fighting inside the enclave when food distribution points belonging to one of WFP’s local partners in Duma were hit. Fortunately, no people were in the buildings at the time of the strikes.

The distribution points were hit in the past 48 hours and a quantity of WFP food was destroyed. WFP and its partner are working to verify the exact amount of food in question. It is believed to have been approximately enough food to feed 90 families for a month.

WFP last delivered food assistance to'If this means vast swathes of valuable forest being sold to developers, it will be an unforgiveable act', says Caroline Lucas

Many of England's best-loved forests and woodlands may be sold to large landowners, housing developers and international power companies in what could be the UK's greatest change of land ownership since the second world war.

Caroline Spelman, the environment secretary, is expected to announce a new strategy later this week that will lay the foundations for more than 150,000 hectares of forest and other land owned by the state in England to be sold within three years.

Tonight, conservationists and opposition parties as well as landowners warned that the land sale would be a costly disaster unless stringent safeguards were put in place.

Gowdy on 'Dead' FBI Email Probe: 'Real Jury' Will Weigh In on Election DayHow Seth Meyers Did As The Golden Globes Host

Having hosted everything from the ESPY Awards to Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" to the Primetime Emmy Awards, Seth Meyers earned his place at the head of NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers, and viewers got to watch him work the stage at the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards. It was his first time hosting this particular awards ceremony, so we thought it would be worth taking a look at how he did in the more laid back Globes setting.

The Opening

The tone of an awards show is almost always set by the opening, and it's always hard to tell how big things will get. Anyone watching tonight's Golden Globes saw a pretty subdued introduction from Seth Meyers. There wasn't a


speck of music, there were zero dance numbers, and we saw zero complicated light effects or pyrotechnics. What Meyers did bring to the table was a lot of snapy jokes, most of which landed in the way they were presumably intended. To be expected, chief among the topics were Hollywood's sexual harassment epidemic and racial inequality. And it wouldn't have been Seth Meyers without a few jobs at President Donald Trump, though he didn't get as confrontational as some other late night hosts might have. For example, instead of making direct references, he joked about remembering when Seth Rogen was the one getting American in trouble with North Korea with the comedy The Interview.

But all in all, it was a pretty by-the-books opening monologue. Seth Meyers brought inone of his late night segments to varying degrees of success, with Amy Poehler winning it all. Perhaps the best joke came when Meyers brought up Steven Spielberg's The Post, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, and people immediately appeared behind him holding handfuls of award trophies. Hollywood presumptions are a funny thing, though, since The Post didn't win all those awards at all.

The Jokes

Oddly enough, the 2018 Golden Globe awards were largely run on hosting autopilot, with Seth Meyers taking the stage for less time than some presenters, it seemed. Many of the acceptance speeches were geared towards affirmative topics, such as the "#MeToo" campaign, and the Golden Globe producers seemed initially wary about having the orchestra interrupting such important and poignant thoughts. As such, even without


a complicated and lengthy opening, the telecast quickly started running behind, which meant several extraneous bits were cut from the rest of the episode. Even the presenters themselves saw their time onstage getting chopped, which was eloquently hinted at by Neil Patrick Harris.

So it's almost hard to gauge Seth Meyers' Golden Globes comedy on much more than that opening monologue, since that was easily the screen time he got. Meanwhile, it seemed like the show was willing to give Oprah the entire third hour, which would have been fine. (If only everyone had a tiny Cecil B. DeMille award underneath their seats.) In that respect, I suppose Meyers didn't tell any truly horrible jokes during his time.

The Final Verdict

By the time the credits rolled for the Golden GlobeAwards, viewers had watched some fairly surprising award winners - such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's win for Best Comedy Actress and Best Comedy -- and some other big moments that caught our attention. But when it came to the host himself, the Globes didn't do all that much to impress. Considering the all-inclusive vibe throughout the night, perhaps sidelining Meyers was an intentional move to keep the token white male host out of the limelight so that everyone could celebrate their respective victories with due time. Whatever the reasoning, I'm not sure Meyers' first Golden Globes hosting can be considered a runaway success, but coming out of a gig like this without any embarrassments is a win all on its own.

We arranged the aircraft in roughly ascending order of wingspan, with the idea being that if there was an unforeseen pinch point along the route, all aircraft that were narrower than the pinch point could make it through and continue on to the convention center and only the wider ones would be affected.

masculinity*" theory, sexual violence is used to show power by feminizing the perceived enemy \[[@CR13]\]. In Northern Uganda, government troops targeted the population, especially the Acholi sub-region, where men were forced to have sex with other men or with inanimate objects such as banana stems, or to rape women in the presence of their husbands or family members \[[@CR11]\]. Therefore, the "*militarized masculinity*" theory can be used to explain the type of sexual violence perpetrated by government troops. The LRA, on the other hand, specifically targeted girls and young women for abduction to become "wives" to LRA fighters and commanders and to produce children with them. In rebel captivity, sexual relations and violence were controlled and regulated. The rape of civilians was very rare and sexual activities outsidesexually enslaved, forcefully allocated as a "wife" to a man, and/ or to endure forced pregnancy.

Specifically, the objectives of the current study were to assess reported sexual violence against formerly abducted girls in Northern Uganda and its effects on general functioning, stigma, and community relations; and to quantify the extent to which stigma and poor community relations mediate the associations between reported sexual violence and general functioning. Relating reported sexual violence to general functioning is crucial because it provides insight into how formerly abducted girls contribute to their communities, families, and their own survival in the aftermath of the war. The present study has the potential to add to the existing literature concerning the pathologies of sexual violence among young girls and women in Northern Uganda and the


by UNICEF in collaboration with local authorities. In addition to the list, profiles of the formerly abducted children such as their age at capture, duration in captivity, village of origin, and injuries while in captivity were recorded by UNICEF. Because of the significance of this list in the psychosocial rehabilitation of formerly abducted children and the international stature of UNICEF and other NGOs involved such as World Vision International and Save the Children, the list is assumed to be accurate. Although the sample list compiled by UNICEF, some of the participants on the list included those who did not pass through the rehabilitation centres before they were reintegrated into their communities. A list of eligible former child soldiers was compiled by UNICEF for the most affected districts inhad ordered him to purify the Acholi people in order to prepare them for leadership in Uganda \[[@CR16]\]. Controlled sexual violence was therefore used as an ideological strategy to create a purer super Acholi race \[[@CR16]\]. Many LRA commanders had several "wives" and numerous children. Controlled sexual violence against girls in rebel captivity was therefore an instrument of hegemony over combatants by the LRA leadership in three ways. First, being allocated a wife was a reward. Second, forced marriages secured dependency on the LRA as an organization through family bonds between "husband" and "wife" and later children. Third, it was hegemony over the "wives" as they were controlled by and dependent on their husbands for protection and resources that were looted from communities. Finally, by allocating several "wives"


the participants were reintegrated. For most of the participants, their families were more receptive \[[@CR45]\]. Furthermore, most of the girls were no longer living with their families at the time of the study or had lost their parents and family members during the war, thus making the community more relevant with regard to general functioning. In addition, most of the girls were no longer living with their families at the time of the study or had lost their parents and family members during the war, thus making community relations more relevant for general functioning.

Two decades ago Batwa pygmies were thrown out of their native forests in Uganda to make way for the country's mountain gorilla tourism. Tommy Trenchard and Aurelie Marrier d'Unienville went to Rukeri in Uganda find out what happened next.

On a bleak volcanic plain at the foot of Mount Muhabura in the south-western corner of Uganda several ramshackle huts of sticks and grass lie scattered among the boulders.

They look like they they are designed to hold livestock or farm machinery, but these are the homes of the Batwa. They have lived here in abject poverty since being expelled from the forests they lived in as part of a much lauded conservation programme in the
