Ryan Howard has struggled on the baseball diamond in recent years, and it seems his personal life isn’t going smoothly either.

The Philadelphia Phillies first baseman and his family were involved in a legal dispute regarding control over his finances, according to David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News. The fight apparently included his twin brother suing him for over $2.7 million. Howard counter-sued for fraud and mismanagement of his funds.

The former MVP took his father’s advice and let his family take control of his finances in the early stages of his career. His brother, Corey Howard, did marketing and business work for Ryan and was paid $7,975 every two weeks, the Daily News reports.

The disease is typically caused by infected fleas, which hitch rides on rats, and their feces. It can also be spread by cats and opossums, according to health officials. Downtown Los Angeles has been battling an outbreak since October that was linked to homeless street encampments, officials said.

"We had an employee or two mention they heard something in the ceiling," City Council President Herb Wesson told the AP as he walked through his office, where he recently had all the rugs ripped out. "Then we had an employee spot what she believed to be paw prints."

Ripon Police officers Danny Sauer and Mike Perry talk with residents from their Patrol Area 2 at the second informational session held at the Ripon Police Department Wednesday night.

RIPON — The second in a series of informational sessions designed for the public to meet the officers who patrol their home neighborhoods in Ripon was held Wednesday night at the Ripon Police Department squad room.

And there, at Tougaloo College, you had a breakthrough.

Yes.These three grad students from MIT and Harvard came to Tougaloo, where I was one of two physics students in 1986. They were all black physics students from the Cambridge area – and each of them thought they were the only one! They came to realize that kids from certain communities just have no idea that physics as a career exists. They decided they’d start the National Council of Black Physics Students, to help the most down-and-out kids in the country. So where did they go? Mississippi. They showed up on our campus.

Because of them, I ended up meeting recruitersCanada is boycotting a UN body dedicated to disarmament to protest against North Korea being named its chair, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird announced Monday.

The Conference on Disarmament, where UN members negotiate disarmament and other arms control agreements, is heavily focused on the prevention of a nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament.

"North Korea is simply not a credible chair at this United Nations body. The regime is a major proliferator of nuclear weapons and its non-compliance with its disarmament obligations goes against the fundamental principle of this committee," Baird said during a call with media to make the announcement.

"North Korea's chairmanship undermines the integrity of both the disarmament framework and of the United Nations, and Canada simply will not support that."

North Korea assumed the presidency June 28 and


holds it until Aug. 19. Canada will boycott the committee's activities until then, Baird said.

He acknowledged it is only a short period of time that Canada is refusing to participate at the Geneva-based body, but said it's important that Canada take a strong stand because it is "absurd" that North Korea is leading the group.

"It puts one of the world's worst offenders in the chair. It hurts the crediblity of the United Nations and it's a blow to any meaningful effort at disarmament," said Baird. "I think there's a lot of symbolism here but I think it is important that Canada put forward its voice strongly on this issue."

Countries rotate presidency of the conference, and when North Korea was named chair last month, Baird issued a statement sayinghe was disappointed and he warned that Canada would review its participation in the committee.

He said on Monday that Canada would seek to reform the way chairs are selected for the conference so that countries such as North Korea and Iran would not have opportunities to chair it in the future.

North Korea has defied multiple UN resolutions on arms control and continued its nuclear weapons program. In 2009, it conducted a nuclear test and in 2010 an international investigation determined that North Korea had sunk a South Korean naval ship with a torpedo. The events prompted Canada to further limit trade, investment and other relations with North Korea.

North Korea assumed presidency of the UN body at a meeting on June 28, and the new president of the group,


So Se Pyong, told members that he was committed to its work. He said he would work closely with members to strengthen the conference's ability to deliver results.

Canada's representative at the committee, Marius Grinius, was already ending his time there before Monday's decision was announced. In his farewell remarks at the June 28 meeting, he indicated that Canada is skeptical about the effectiveness of the disarmament body.

According to a summary of the meeting on the UN's website, Grinius spoke about how the committee is on "life-support" because it's not the only arena for the negotiation of multilateral disarmament agreements, and that it hadn't been working on new agreements for some time. It has achieved glories in the past, he said, but it's not clear that it will overcomewhat he described as paralysis at the committee.

Baird said Monday that the group has done good work in the past and been successful in negotiating major treaties but recently it has struggled to reach consensus among its members.

The government's decision to boycott it while North Korea is presiding is an effort to reform it so that it is more effective, the foreign affairs minister said. "What I know won't be good for this conference is if countries like Canada just simply remain quiet and go along to get along," said Baird.

Soon after Baird made the announcement, the Liberals issued a statement saying the Conservative government is missing an opportunity to exercise influence over the conference's talks.

"Though it is deplorable that North Korea currently holds the rotating presidency, this

GUST are effectively looking to reform Galway United under their own stewardship. They decided to split with the directors of the old trading company and make an application of their own.

With Mervue United and Salthill Devon already in place, the FAI are said to be worried about the prospect of three teams from the Connacht city competing in the same division.

However, GUST do possess the largest support base, and have received a boost with the support of Supermacs founder Pat McDonagh.

The businessman, who had sponsored Galway United since 2009 through Papa John's Pizza, has provided a


letter of support to GUST to help in the licensing process. They hope to develop the relationship if they get the backing of the FAI.

Topic: Mostly Autumn to support Bryan Adams Posted: June 19 2007 at 16:44

NOTE: This is not an announcement.

It has been confirmed that Celtic proggers Mostly Autumn will be in charge of supporting Bryan Adams on his concert at Murrayfield Stadium (somewhere in Scotchland, I guess - pardon my ignorance ) on Saturday July 21st.

The band seem very fired up for the event, claiming it will be "biggest gig of the band's career to date". It is understanble, opening for an international superstar while hardly being known in York.

Mostly Autumn have been under fire for diverting from the straight path of prog lately. However, will they be acessible enough for the type of audience who pay to see Bryan Adams?

parks were once national monuments. In fact, many of the national parks in our country were first protected as national monuments. History has had a way of proving monument detractors wrong.

Fortunately, a vast coalition of tribal voices, conservationists, outdoor industry leaders, scientists, and Westerners who love public lands, and monuments like Bears Ears in particular, are rising up and making their voices heard. The President should heed those voices or risk being on the wrong side of history.

Author: assafirPosted January 4, 2013

Two conclusions can be drawn from the capital of the north in light of the 2012 events. The first is that the city paid a high price through its security and economy in the battle that tried to topple the city’s son — Najib Mikati — and his government. The second is that some political projects turned the capital into an arena for settling accounts regarding the battle in Syria, which has been ongoing for two years. Tripoli was the only city to pay a Syrian tax that affected it at both the political and security levels.

From Tripoli, the Lebanese opposition — led by the Future Movement — wanted to overthrow the Mikati government. From Tripoli, this opposition tried


emirs took control of the streets, thus affecting the authority of the security forces based on security concessions. This turned the security forces into forces of separation rather than forces of deterrence. They even lost the ability to arrest those who breached security, despite all of the political statements issued at every round of violence in the city and according to which "an iron fist is in absolute control and no armed manifestations are allowed."

In addition, some good endeavors were blocked as the Mufti of Tripoli, Sheikh Malek al-Shaar, was absent. He recently left Lebanon after he received direct threats conveyed by officers from the Internal Security Forces' Information Branch. Shaar had issued several fatwas prohibiting the use of weapons in Tripoli. However, his recent political stances pushed2012 to be characterized by security chaos, political randomness and improvised, rather than well thought-out, solutions. The city lived through days of bloody "anger” that paralyzed services, obstructed many development projects and created unrest across the fragile northern city (Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen), which witnessed its worst year of security since the end of the Lebanese civil war. Every two months there would be rounds of violence that breached Tripoli's security, each round coming under a different headline. However, they were all part of the repercussions of the Syrian crisis on Tripoli and they all aimed to place pressure on the prime minister. The rounds were as follows:

Feb. 10: The Homs massacre round (Two dead and 19 wounded) It coincided with the explosion of a weapons store in


Abi Osamara. Investigations have not yet revealed the owner of the store, despite the fact that people inside it were injured while transporting munitions.

May 12: The Shadi Mawlawi arrest round (Five dead and 30 wounded) This round was preceded by an open-ended sit-in held by the committees of Islamist detainees in Roumieh prison, and followed by a Salafist sit-in demanding the release of Mawlawi.

Jun. 3: The solidarity with the Battle of Damascus round (13 dead and 62 wounded)

Jul. 29: The round connected to the bombing of the state security headquarters in Damascus (One dead and 33 wounded)

Aug 2: The round of fireworks between the children of Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen (14 dead and 80 wounded)

Oct. 19: The Maj. Gen. Wissam Hassan round (Eight dead and 64 wounded) Thisround coincided with attacks against the National Party headquarters and the Islamic Unification Movement centers.

These rounds led to more bloodshed (60 dead and 378 wounded) and destruction that left families in misery. These clashes contributed also to postponing the visit of Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Beshara al-Rai and that of Interior Minister Brigadier Marwan Charbel, and this does not include the delayed visits of several Arab and foreign ambassadors.

Sunni Military Council

There is no doubt that the security chaos, which spread horizontally, allowed armed groups to break loose from under any political or security control for the first time in the history of this conflict. It wasn’t long before these groups had their own agendas, independent funding and sources of arms. This raised the hopes of some zealots of regaining


all local and regional conflicts.

In this context, Tripoli has sent several messages. The city confirmed that it sympathizes with the Future Movement and its orientation, but also that it is not willing to give up on its son Najib Mikati, nor its growing presence in the state through his post as prime minister. This is especially true since Mikati has never failed to meet the needs of the people of his city or of his own sect, starting with his rightful efforts to preserve the position of Sunni staff and funding the international tribunal. This is not to mention that he approved a $100 million bill to implement vital projects in Tripoli. Special competent committees are supervising the project that is supposed to see the light of dayin the new year.

The people of Tripoli also conveyed the message that they may disagree with each other over the question of armed resistance, but they all agree on the need to prevent a Sunni-Shiite schism. They also sympathize with the Syrian revolution, but at the same time they totally reject any attempt to push their city into the furnace of the Syrian crisis. Tripoli refuses to become the backyard of the armed Syrian opposition, or to be targeted by the Syrian regime due to the political affiliations and tendencies of its people. The city confirmed that it will not be controlled by any armed group — regardless of its political allegiance.

The citizens of Tripoli have expressed these messages by relinquishing all efforts to topple the government, the


Syrian regime, Hezbollah’s weapons or anything like that, distancing themselves from these activities. All marches and protests were left to their organizers.

Within this framework, none of the Future Movement’s MPs have tried to hide the fact that moving the battle to Tripoli to topple Mikati’s government on his own turf was one of the main political objectives in 2012. The Blue Current was still searching for a image of the masses that looks like ones from March 14, which would be capable of bringing down the PM in his own city and achieving a very similar victory to that in 2005, following the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

However, the Future Movement’s activities — despite all the propaganda in this regard — have not successfully persuaded the citizenscommunicating with its MPs to find solutions to security crises.

In Tripoli, Mikati announced his candidacy for parliamentary elections and Omar Karami nominated his son the minister Faisal Karami, whereas Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi shocked political circles by saying that he was abstaining from nominating himself in protest against sectarian incitement and stife.

The decision BY Safadi has confused his allies, as he represents a main pillar of the government and the present ministerial alliance in Tripoli. A series of contacts and consultations with Safadi have taken place so far to convince him to go back on the decision, an issue that is subject to future developments.

At present, there are about 3400 foreign students in the Kharkiv National Medical University who study at the Preparatory Department, Medical, Nursing and Dental Faculties, undergo postgraduate and clinical post-graduate (residency) courses as well as professional probation at departments of the University in Dental, therapy, orthopedics, surgery, oncology, urology, psychiatry, ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as other medical specialties.

History
The history of the higher medical school in Kharkiv is more than 200 years long and closely connected with the history of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University,John Weeks, who founded the museum together with his son, Johnathan Weeks. "I'd fill up buildings with them, storage units."

Their collection is huge. There are 650 games ranging from vintage 1950s-era machines all the way up to ones based on current TV shows such as The Walking Dead. John began amassing the games in the early 1980s.

At first, he thought of opening a bar with an arcade, but that would only allow a handful of the collection to be played at any given time. The benefit of the museum is that all the machines are out on display. But Johnathan explains there is a drawback.

"You gotta remember when the museum is so large and there's so many games plugged in,"


he says. "Just to flip the breakers is thousands of dollars to turn it on for the day."

That means the museum is only open a few times a year. During a recent rare opening, Dolores Barrett was trying her hand at it.

"I've really never played pinball. But I started out by playing The Terminator, and now I'm hooked," she says.

Although she's old enough to have grown up with pinball, Barrett says her parents never let her have a quarter to play as a kid. Now, she's making up for lost time.

On a different aisle of old timey machines, Jamie Vanderet is playing one called Sea Ray. He's here from Ottawa and says he picked up the game at a bar back in Canada.

Der Glöckner von Notre Dame (literally translated in English, The Bellringer of Notre Dame) is a musical with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and book by James Lapine. The musical is based on the 1996 Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was inspired by the 1831 Victor Hugo novel of the same name.

The musical premiered in 1999 in Berlin, Germany, produced by Walt Disney Theatrical, the company's first musical to premiere outside the U.S. It ran for three years, becoming one of Berlin's longest-running musicals.

Production

The musical opened on June 5, 1999, for the opening of the Musicaltheater Berlin (now Theater am Potsdamer Platz (DE)), Berlin.[2] After a successful run, it closed in June 2002.[3] Directed by Lapine, the German translation was by MichaelKunze, choreography by Lar Lubovitch, set design by Heidi Ettinger, costume design by Sue Blane, lighting by Rick Fisher, sound by Tony Meola and projections by Jerome Sirlin.[4][5][6]

This was Disney's first musical to premiere outside the US,[3] and it became one of Berlin's longest-running musicals to date. As with Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, Der Glöckner Von Notre Dame opened three years after the release of the movie it is based on.

The musical is a darker, more gothic adaptation of the film. According to translator Michael Kunze, he was " 'campaigning to allow Esmeralda to die at the end, as she does in the book. There was a feeling that the audience would be depressed if Esmeralda dies. I feel that a European audience would


movie and the original musical. Nothing else is known, including the release date and casting. Many news sources have noted that they hope the production retains the dark and Gothic qualities of the German stage version, which they feel was censored by Disney studios for the film.

In April 2013, an English adaptation of Der Glöckner von Notre Dame by The King's Academy Fine Arts Department was staged in The King's Academy Sports & Fine Arts Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. According to TKA, "Walt Disney Productions...selected The King’s Academy Theatre to adapt and premiere their [1996 film]". The company collaborated with Disney Executive Studios. They explained via YouTube that "We received a license from Disney Productions to premiere the English version of Hunchback. Disney is now workshoppingthis musical for a possible run on Broadway. Our director, Mr. David Snyder, recently returned from NYC where he helped to cast talent for the new show!" This version does not include all the songs from Der Glöckner von Notre Dame, and excludes the deaths of Esmerelda and Frollo. Nevertheless, it is essentially a translation of that musical as opposed to a new adaption of the film. The entire musical is up on YouTube.

The musical will have its US premiere at La Jolla Playhouse from October 28 through December 14, 2014 (Originally, December 7 but due to popular demand, an extra week was added). The production will be directed by Scott Schwartz and the creative includes Josh Bergasse as the choreographer, Michael Kosarin as the music supervisor and


arranger, Michael Starobin as the orchestrator, Alexander Dodge as the scenic designer, Alejo Vietti as the costume design Howell Binkley as the lighting designer, and Gareth Owen as the sound design. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had a workshop in February 2014. The La Jolla Playhouse production will then transfer to the Paper Mill Playhouse from March 4 through April 5, 2015.

Original Berlin Musical Synopsis

Act I

The musical opens in 1482 Paris, where Clopin, an old gypsy beggar, sings of the bells of the Cathedral of Notre Dame ("The Bells of Notre Dame") and tells the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The story begins as three gypsies sneak illegally into Paris, but are ambushed by a squadron of soldiers working for the Minister of Justice, Claude Frollo.A gypsy woman attempts to flee with her baby, but Frollo catches her and kills her outside of Notre Dame, intending to kill the deformed baby. However, he is stopped by the Archdeacon who accuses him of murdering the gypsy woman. Frollo accepts the Archdeacon's offer to raise the child in the cathedral's bell tower, naming him Quasimodo.

Twenty years later, Quasimodo is the bell ringer of Notre Dame and has become a kind young man with three gargoyles - Antoine, Charles and Loni - as his friends. They encourage him to attend the annual Festival of Fools, but Frollo arrives and forbids Quasimodo to leave the tower, while the gargoyles urge him to disobey and venture out ("Sanctuary"). After Frollo leaves, Quasimodo decides to go out for just


one day ("Out There").

While the Parisians continue their preparations for the festival, Clopin, King of the Gypsies, prepares his gypsies for the festival at their underground hide-out, the Court of Miracles ("Balancing Act"). Their attention is taken by a newcomer, a young gypsy dancer named Esmeralda. Meanwhile, Captain Phoebus arrives in Paris excited about his new promotion as Captain of the Guard ("Rest and Recreation"). He flirts with a young girl but is suddenly interrupted by a fleeing gypsy accused of theft. The gypsy pleads innocence but Frollo arrives and orders his soldiers to arrest the gypsy. Frollo tells Phoebus that the city has become overrun by gypsies and that he plans to find the Court of Miracles and eliminate them all.

As the Festival begins ("Topsy Turvy"), Quasimodocathedral. Frollo arrives and interrogates her but the Archdeacon orders Frollo to leave, because those in the cathedral are protected by the law of sanctuary. Esmeralda prays for her people and the down-trodden ("God Help the Outcast"). Meanwhile, Frollo orders Phoebus to post a guard at every door to ensure that Esmeralda does not escape.

Esmeralda follows Quasimodo to the bell tower and is captivated by the view of the city ("On Top of the World"). To repay Esmeralda for rescuing him, Quasimodo offers to show her a way out of the cathedral. Before leaving, Esmeralda gives him an amulet leading to the Court of Miracles should he ever need to find her, and she also kisses him on the cheek. After Esmeralda leaves, Quasimodo expresses his feelings, as


he has been touched by Esmeralda's kindness ("Heaven’s Light"). Frollo begins to realize his lustful feelings for Esmeralda and begs the Virgin Mary to save him from her "spell" to avoid eternal damnation. ("Hellfire").

Discovering that Esmeralda escaped, Frollo asks Quasimodo where she is, but he says that he does not know. Frollo, now fallen into madness, orders a city-wide manhunt to find Esmeralda. Realizing Frollo's evil reputation, Phoebus defies Frollo, who orders his execution for refusing to burn the miller's cottage. Pheobus flees while Frollo and his men begin to search the city ("Esmeralda"). Phoebus falls off a bridge and into the river below after being shot by an arrow but Esmeralda rescues him.

Act II

The soldiers continue searching the city ("City Under Siege"). Esmeralda rescues Phoebus and tellshim to seek sanctuary at Notre Dame while she returns to the Court of Miracles. Meanwhile, the gargoyles convince Quasimodo that Esmeralda finds him romantically intriguing, and they reassure him about her safety ("A Guy Like You"). The Archdeacon brings Phoebus to the bell tower and Phoebus, knowing Quasimodo to be a friend of Esmeralda's, asks Quasimodo to hide him.

Frollo returns and discovers that Quasimodo helped Esmeralda escape after asking him. Frollo tells Quasimodo that he knows where the Court of Miracles is and intends to attack at dawn. After Frollo leaves, Phoebus comes out of hiding and asks Quasimodo to help him find the Court of Miracles and warn Esmeralda. Quasimodo refuses to leave the cathedral again but Phoebus and the gargoyles teach Quasimodo the value of


devotion and selflessness ("Out of Love").

Using Esmeralda's amulet as their guide, Quasimodo and Phoebus find the Court of Miracles. The gypsies assume them to be Frollo's spies but Esmeralda assures them that the two men are friends. Phoebus tells the gypsies about Frollo's plan and Clopin orders the gypsies to prepare to leave. Esmeralda and Phoebus decide to leave the city together while Quasimodo, heartbroken, watches Esmeralda leave with the man she truly loves ("Out of Love" (Reprise)). However, Frollo's army appears and captures them, with Frollo revealing that he had followed Quasimodo.

Frollo visits Esmeralda in the Palace of Justice dungeon. She refuses Frollo's offer for freedom in exchange for becoming his mistress ("Sanctuary (Reprise)"). Quasimodo, chained up inside the bell tower, refuses to help and tells thegargoyles to leave him ("Made of Stone"). As dawn approaches, Esmeralda awaits her execution in the dungeon with Phoebus hoping that one day the world will be a better place ("Someday").

Frollo arrives and pronouces Esmeralda's sentence. The Archdeacon begs Frollo to let Esmeralda go. Giving her one last chance, Frollo reminds Esmeralda about his offer before she spits in his face. Witnessing Frollo burning Esmeralda at the stake, Quasimodo gives in to his anger, breaks free from his chains, rescues her and brings her to the catherdal claiming her sanctuary. Frollo orders his men to break into Notre Dame. Phoebus frees himself and ignites a mutiny and leads the citizenry to fight Frollo's soldiers. Quasimodo calls upon the saints and the gargoyles before using a cauldron filled with


molten copper onto the streets to make sure no one gets inside. Frollo, however, breaks into the cathedral. Esmeralda dies from smoke inhalation after thanking him for being a good friend. Quasimodo breaks down beside her body as Frollo comes into the room to comfort Quasimodo before he tries to kill him with a dagger. Quasimodo fights back and after a long struggle, he pushes Frollo over the balcony's edge to his death in the molten copper. The gargoyles comfort Quasimodo and tell him the world is full of good as well as evil. The Parisians watch as Quasimodo carries Esmeralda's body through the square with Phoebus by his side. Clopin appears again and asks what makes a monster and what makes a man ("Grand Finale").

North American PermiereSynopsis

Act I

The story starts off in Paris, 1482. The audience is introduced to brothers Jehan and Claude Frollo, orphan brothers who were taken in by the priests of Notre Dame. Jehan is mischievous and deviant while Frollo is pious. After Jehan is caught with a gypsy woman in his room, he is kicked out of Notre Dame by Father Dupin. Jehan leaves with the woman, named Florika, and is not heard from again in years. Frollo, meanwhile, becomes the archdeacon of Notre Dame. He then gets a letter from from Jehan, pleading to meet him at another location. When Frollo arrives, he finds that Jehan is dying from the pox. Jehan explains that his wife had died 3 months ago from the same ailment and that his child


needs to be taken care of. When Frollo sees the deformed child, he tells Jehan that he will get rid of him. Jehan dies and as Frollo is about to kill the child, he feels the glances from Notre Dame’s statues and decides against it, feeling that it is a test from God. He names the child Quasimodo and forbids him from leaving the confines of Notre Dame’s bell tower. (Bells of Notre Dame)

Quasimodo, now grown up, has gone partially deaf from ringing the bells. He speaks to the objects in the cathedral such as the bells, statues, and gargoyles. He daydreams about going to the Feast of Fools. Frollo arrives at the bell tower and asks him who he is speaking to. When Quasimodo answers that hewomen (Rest and Recreation). Frollo later welcomes Phoebus and tells him that there is no time for “rest and recreation” as they must get rid of the city’s scum. At the Festival of fools, Esmeralda is introduced and dances for the crowd (Rhythm of the Tambourine). After that, they get ready to crown the King of Fools, who ends up being Quasimodo, who was entered to the contest by Esmeralda.(Topsy Turvy Part II) In the middle of the celebration, someone throws something at Quasimodo and mocks him. The entire crowd turns on him, ties him down, and whips him. Phoebus asks for permission to stop the cruelty, but Frollo forbids it as a lesson must be learned. Esmeralda appears at the scene and halts the beating. Quasimodo asks


for water, which she gives him and then unties him. The crowd gets angry at Esmeralda for halting their fun, and she escapes in a puff of smoke, which Frollo believes is witchcraft. The crowd attempts to harm Quasimodo again, but Frollo stops them and scolds them for being barbaric and tells them to go home. Frollo asks Quasimodo if he is now aware that he was right about how cruel and wicked the world is. Quasimodo tells him that he will never leave the bell tower again. (Sanctuary Part III)

Esmeralda enters Notre Dame and is in awe of its beauty. Frollo spots her and tells her that her kind isn’t allowed in the church and asks her why she is there. She tells him she is therestairs to the bell tower. Quasimodo frantically tries to hide, encouraged by the bells and gargoyles, but she catches up to him. She tells him not be afraid and that she is very sorry for what happened at the festival, but notices that he has a hard time hearing her. Quasimodo tells her that he is very good at reading lips, so as long as he can see her face, they can communicate. Quasimodo shows Esmeralda the view from the tower, which Esmeralda finds beautiful. The gargoyles and bells encourage Quasimodo to talk to her. (Top of the World) Quasimodo rings the bells and tells them to “sing for her”. Frollo runs up to the tower, confused as to why he is ringing them at completely the wrong


time. Frollo is startled by Esmeralda’s presence because he thought she had left. He offers her shelter at the cathedral so that he may save her soul. She rejects his offer because she does not like the way he looks at her. Angered, Frollo tells Phoebus to escort her out of the church and that she is to be arrested if she ever sets foot in Notre Dame again. Frollo scolds Quasimodo for thinking that Esmeralda is kind and that he must get rid of impure thoughts. He tells him to never think of her again, as she is dangerous and was sent in from hell to tempt them.

Not able to cease to think of Esmeralda, Frollo starts to roam the streets every night. After walking down andesperately needs her to be his, or she will otherwise burn. (Hellfire)

At the Bastille, Frollo arrives unexpectedly to ask King Louis XI for special powers to stop a gypsy witch in order to protect the citizens. The King tells him to do whatever he feels is necessary, but to be prudent. Having obtained the necessary permission, Frollo gathers the cathedral guards and Phoebus to hunt down Esmeralda. They look everywhere and offer money in return for her, and they finally end up at a brothel known for hiding gypsies. When they do not yield what he is looking for, Frollo orders Phoebus to burn it down. Phoebus refuses and Frollo orders his arrest. Esmeralda shows up to stop him, and a fight breaks loose. During the commotion, Frollo


stabs Phoebus and blames Esmeralda after she picks up the knife. Esmeralda and Phoebus disappear into a puff of smoke with the help of Clopin. Frollo continues the hunt, while Quasimodo grows worried about her whereabouts. (Esmeralda)

Act II

Up at the tower, Quasimodo notices the fire ravaging through the city, and wonders if Esmeralda is safe. The structures assure him that she probably is, but should she need to be rescued, he’d need to find a way to help her, like a hero or a saint would. Quasimodo recalls the story of Saint Aphrodisius and his flight into Egypt. The stained glass window of St. Aphrodisius comes to life and encourages Quasimodo to go out and help Esmeralda. (Flight into Egypt)

Esmeralda shows up at the tower and asks Quasimodoto hide Phoebus, who is badly injured. She gives Quasimodo a woven band which doubles as a map to the court of miracles, and she leaves. Phoebus awakens and tries to get up, but Quasimodo carries him off to hide him before Frollo can find out. As Frollo arrives, he notices that Quasimodo is acting a bit strange. He tells Quasimodo that, if he were to know where the gypsy was hiding, that he must tell him. For the very first time, Quasimodo lies to him and denies knowing where she is. A guard comes up to the tower to tell Frollo that they know where the gypsy is. Frollo cheerfully tells Quasimodo that they will now be successful in capturing her and leaves.

Phoebus gets up to go


Frollo will attack at dawn, and the gypsies start to pack up to relocate. When Phoebus asks Esmeralda to go with her, they embrace and acknowledge their love for each other. Quasimodo looks on, heartbroken that his love will never be returned. (Heaven’s Light Reprise/In a Place of Miracles) Frollo interrupts and thanks Quasimodo for helping him find the court of miracles. He arrests Esmeralda, Phoebus, and the rest of the people there. He tells Quasimodo that he is very disappointed in him and orders the guards to take him away and tie him up at the bell tower.

Frollo visits Esmeralda at her prison cell, and tells her that he can save her if she accepts to be with him. When Esmeralda refuses, he threatens Phoebus’ life asever loved is now dead. Phoebus arrives and finds out that Esmeralda has perished and and tries to carry her away, but is unable to due to his injuries. Quasimodo carries Esmeralda’s body outside and sets her down in front of the crowd. Afraid he will be blamed for her death, he starts to retreat. A girl emerges, and twists her body to show that she is just like him. The rest of the crowd follows suit, accepting him at last. (Finale Ultimo)

Differences from the original 1996 film

The gargoyles' names have been changed from Victor, Hugo and Laverne to Charles, Antoine and Loni. The gargoyles' comedy in the musical is greatly toned down; they sing in many more songs, and they are also firmly established as figments of


Quasimodo's imagination.

Esmeralda is shown a way out of Notre Dame rather than Quasimodo climbing down, holding her.

When narrating, Clopin appears as a crippled old beggar and no longer uses puppets.

The song from the film "The Court of Miracles" is replaced by a dance number called "Dance of the Gypsies".

Frollo's past is expanded to note that he was once a priest, harking back to his position as the archdeacon in the original novel.

Esmeralda dies at the end, as in the original novel.

Frollo is thrown off the cathedral by Quasimodo, instead of falling from the crumbling gargoyle fixture.

"Sanctuary", the song that consists of Quasimodo and Frollo that played before "Out There" is expanded and the Gargoyles are added in the number.

It is the archdeacon who brings Phoebus to Quasimodo insteadlarge-format projectors and defining your gobos a little differently." An incredibly beautiful use of the projections is a scene that takes place on a bridge above, and then in, the Seine."[11]

Reception

The Variety Magazine reviewer noted that "The prevailing tone, indeed, is far and away the most somber of the three Disney film-to-stage shows yet." He wrote that "The design is likely to be the show's talking point in any language, coupling as it does the best of British and American talent with a new $ 100 million dollar-plus playhouse specifically adapted to accommodate the demands of the piece. The aquamarine stage curtain, Gothic tracery already encoded within it, rises to reveal set designer Heidi Ettinger's ever-shifting array of cubes that join with Jerome Sirlin's projections to conjure the


medieval world of the Parisian belltower inhabited by Sarich's misshapen orphan Quasimodo, his unyielding master Frollo (Norbert Lamla) and a trio of very chatty gargoyles...the music tilts towards the generic."[6]

By Lars Magne Sunnanå

Oslo Stock Exchange-listed Crew (CRU) is digging its way through grave sites and threatening water reservoirs in its pursuit of nickel, claims Ramil Baldo, a leader of the indigenous Mangyan people.

The indigenous people live on the remote Philippine Mindoro islands, where Crew wants to develop nickel production.

"They summoned people down from the mountains to a meeting. There everyone was offered a cup of rice in return for putting a fingerprint on the agreement," says Baldo to Næringsliv24.

Baldo is currently in Oslo. With support from inter alia The Resource Centre for the Rights of Indigenous People, Galdu, and The Future In Our Hands,


he claims that the indigenous people agreed to the project after having been made false promises.

"Threatening our cultural foundations"

Crew has been among the fastest rising shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange in recent years. The Mindoro project in the Philippines has contributed to raising the share price sky-high. According to Baldo, Crew's mining plans will destroy the environmental and cultural foundations of the area's indigenous population. The company is digging its way through grave sites and its plans are threatening important water reservoirs, he claims.

Baldo says his people fear being driven off their own land if full-scale mining activities commence.

The local authorities on Mindoro are opposed to the mining project, which however has strong support from central government and the presidential office in Manila.

"Brought in a pastor"

The agreementbetween the Norwegian mining company and the Mangyan people was entered into in 1999. The contract, of which Næringsliv24 has a copy, is full of thumbprints from representatives of the indigenous population.

Mining company Mindex (now a part of Oslo Stock Exchange-listed Crew Gold Corporation) had brought in a local pastor to explain what the agreement entailed, says Baldo.

France Begins Clearing Out Migrant Camp In Calais

France began clearing the sprawling migrant camp in the northern city of Calais on Monday. The camp, known as "The Jungle," has been home to more than 6,500 migrants who have fled war and poverty. France plans to resettle the migrants in 450 centers around the country.

KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:

Today French authorities started emptying out Europe's largest shanty town near the port city of Calais. For years thousands of migrants have lived there in squalid conditions. They came hoping to somehow board trains and trucks passing through the port and get to England.

Instead they're being asked to move to one of 400 resettlement centers across France, and the camp will be bulldozed. NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson reports from Calais on the firstday of the operation.

SORAYA SARHADDI NELSON, BYLINE: Migrants with bags and rolling suitcases began streaming out of the makeshift camp before sunrise, hurrying toward what they hope will be a better life.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Finish; finish.

NELSON: This departing resident lined up with other migrants outside of the registration center police set up a half mile away. Inside they were asked, where do you want to go, Eastern or Western France? Authorities then assigned them to a specific refugee center where they will remain until their asylum status is decided.

The French interior minister says 2,300 migrants - that's more than a third of those living in the camp - left voluntarily today on 45 buses for their new homes across France. Pierre-Henry Brandet is the French interior ministry spokesman.

THE bulk of Celtic’s international contingent will be on Scotland duty this week, with six members of Brendan Rodgers’ side included in Gordon Strachan’s squad for the friendly with Canada (Wednesday) and crunch World Cup qualifier against Slovenia (Sunday).

Stuart Armstrong, who netted his 12th goal of the season in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Dundee, will be targeting his first senior cap for the national team after being called-up for the first time since August 2015. Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, Scott Brown, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths are the other Hoops players to be selected by Gordon Strachan.

Elsewhere, Dedryck Boyata has been rewarded for his consistent club form since the turn of the year with a recall to the Belgium squad for their World Cup


qualifier against Greece and friendly with Russia.

Nir Bitton has been called-up by Israel as they aim to maintain their positive start to the World Cup qualifying campaign away to Spain, while Mikael Lustig could feature for Sweden in their World Cup qualifier against Belarus and friendly with Portugal.

Further afield, in an intriguing twist, Celtic team-mates Emilio Izaguirre and Cristian Gamboa could go head-to-head when Honduras entertain Costa Rica in a World Cup qualifier next Tuesday (March 28), Both players will be hoping to into that match on the back of a positive result, with Honduras facing USA and Costa Rica tackling Mexico.

Meanwhile, January signing Eboue Kouassi, like Armstrong, could make his international bow as Ivory Coast embark on a friendly double-header with Russia and Senegal.

At Under-21 level, Scotlandhave included four Celtic youngsters in their squad for a friendly against Estonia – Liam Henderson, Jamie McCart (on loan at Inverness Caley Thistle), Joe Thomson (on loan at Queen of the South) and Paul McMullan (on loan at Dunfermline).

Patrick Roberts has been named in the England U20 squad which will participate in an international tournament in France. The young Lions will take on Portugal, France and Senegal.

There will be five Celtic youngsters in the Scotland U19 squad for their European Championship elite round fixtures against Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary. Ross Doohan, Anthony Ralston, Mark Hill, Michael Johnston and Theo Archibald will be aiming to help Ricky Sbragia’s side reach the finals of the competition.

Kibler does have the ability to step outside and knock down the 3-point shot, as he made 16 threes last season.

“Luke is capable of having a strong season,” Branscum said. “He played well for us last year in his 12-13 minutes per game. He is in line for more time this year. If he performs the same rate with increased minutes, he will have put together an impressive season. Luke does do the little things well, but he has an increased role this season. He has been pursuing this role fora long time. He is going to be a big part of what we do.”

Senior guard Yeej Lee played in 23 games last season and netted a season-high six points in a 58-47 loss to Van Buren (Arkansas) in the Holiday Classic.

New point guard Kaden King, Derek Ferguson, Cade Cradduck, and A.C. Marion all picked up valuable experience last season both on the court and then just being around a veteran team who experienced success. King, Ferguson, Cradduck, and Marion were all sophomores last season.

“A number of guys saw minutes last season,” Branscum said. “Like he was last season, Yeej Lee will be a solid contributor this season. He brings energy and quickness to the game. He was big in the Branson and Webb City games last season.

Here's the first full-length trailer for Moana, Disney's upcoming 2016 animated film starring Dwayne Johnson and Auli’i Cravalho. Moana sails into theaters on November 23rd, 2016.

"From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Moana, a film about an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought: her own identity."


that it very well might not have happened at all, leaving our world forever dominated by microbes, never to welcome sophisticated and amazing life like trees, mushrooms, caterpillars, and us.

In 1905, the Russian biologist Konstantin Mereschkowski first suggested that some parts of eukaryotic cells were once endosymbionts—free-living microbes that took up permanent residence within other cells. He thought the nucleus originated in this way, as did the chloroplasts that allow plant cells to harness sunlight. He missed the mitochondria, but the American anatomist Ivan Wallin pegged them for endosymbionts in 1923.

These ideas were ignored for decades until an American biologist—the late Lynn Margulis—revived them in 1967. In a radical paper, she made the case that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living bacteria that had been sequentially ingested bymerging, they created, in effect, the starting point for the first eukaryotes.

Bill Martin and Miklós Müller put forward one of the earliest versions of this idea in 1998. They called it the hydrogen hypothesis. It involved an ancient archaeon that, like many modern members, drew energy by bonding hydrogen and carbon dioxide to make methane. It partnered with a bacterium that produced hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which the archaeon could then use. Over time, they became inseparable, and the bacterium became a mitochondrion.

There are many variants of this hypothesis, which differ in the reasons for the merger and the exact identities of the archaeon and the bacterium that were involved. But they are all united by one critical feature setting them apart from the gradual-origin ideas: They all


eukaryotes turned out to be a confusing hodgepodge, and their evolutionary affinities kept on shifting with every new sequenced gene.

In 2004, James Lake changed the rules of engagement. Rather than looking at any single gene, he and his colleague Maria Rivera compared the entire genomes of two eukaryotes, three bacteria, and three archaea. Their analysis supported the merger-first ideas: They concluded that the common ancestor of all life diverged into bacteria and archaea, which evolved independently until two of their members suddenly merged. This created the first eukaryotes and closed what now appeared to be a “ring of life.” Before that fateful encounter, life had just two major domains. Afterward, it had three.

Rivera and Lake were later criticized for only looking at seven species, but no one couldand was incarcerated during the pendency of this litigation.

Florida and Miami will kick off the 2019 college football season on Saturday night, as the Gators and Hurricanes will face off in a neutral-site game in Orlando.

The Gators enter the game as the favorite, as Dan Mullen’s team heads into the year ranked No. 8 in the country. The Hurricanes are unranked.

Florida will reportedly get a special pump-up speech before kickoff on Saturday night.

Former Gators star Tim Tebow will reportedly speak to his college team before their game against the Hurricanes.

Scientists said the latest iceberg break won't affect sea levels in the short term.

NASA and European Space Agency satellites have been monitoring the shelf — offering dramatic pictures of the break that heightened interest beyond the scientific community. The final break was first revealed in a thermal infrared image from NASA's Aqua MODIS satellite instrument.

Scientists from the U.K.-based Antarctic project, MIDAS, have been monitoring the rift in Larsen C for years, following earlier research on the collapse of the Larsen A shelf in 1995 and the breakup of the Larsen B shelf in 2002.

Location of origin: Australia

Job: Precision Elimination

Motto: "Pink Cloud of Death

Hailing from the Australian Outback, the Sniper is a tough and ready crack shot. The Sniper's main role on the battlefield is to pick off important enemy targets from afar using his Sniper Rifle and its ability to headshot. He is effective at long range, but weaker at close range, where he is forced to use his Submachine Gun or his Kukri. As a result, the Sniper tends to perch on higher grounds or in hard-to-see places, where he can easily pin down enemies at chokepoints.

"There are proven disparities even today, within the medical community in relationship to the care and services provided to African American men and women, and the care and services related to Caucasians. (69-year-old African American male)"

Participants also discussed how in their experience and opinion, physicians or health-care systems often do not adequately address health conditions and needs most pervasive among African American men.

"I do think that there are certain conditions and diseases prevalent in the Black community and specifically to Black males that a general practitioner for the most part is not going to pay a whole lot of attention to. (66-year-old African American male)It is an atmosphere where no Black people aremedical visits, companions or important others were noted as important sources of support that aided in navigating complex care management.

"He was my support system, when they told me I should have somebody with me, I knew it was serious and so he was my support system during the visit.

While recognizing that older African American men as a population are not homogenous, it is important to contextualize, in men's own words, their explicit sense of agency and self-determination in contrast to popular narratives about their engagement in health care.

Tshisekedi signed the decree Wednesday, fulfilling a promise he made earlier this month to do so during his first 100 days in office.

Among those set for release is Firmin Yangambi, who was sentenced in 2009 to 20 years in prison on charges of being a threat to national security. Also being freed is Franck Diongo, an opposition figure who was sentenced to five years during the previous administration.

Tshisekedi was declared winner of the Dec. 30 election, leading Congo to its first peaceful transfer of power since independence from Belgium nearly 60 years ago. He succeeded Joseph Kabila, who governed the largely impoverished but mineral-rich central African country for 18 years.

Story highlights Misunderstanding may have led to four Nigerian students being killed by mob

"Mob justice" is reportedly how many disputes are resolved in Africa's most populous country

Rights group: Nigerian authorities failing to crack down on culture of impunity

Police officer allegedly among the mob that killed the four students

It may have been a simple misunderstanding that led to a horrific lynching.

On October 5, four University of Port Harcourt students, Chiadika Biringa, Ugonna Obuzor, Lloyd Toku, and Tekena Elkanah left campus for the village of Aluu. According to Biringa's mother Chinwe, Obuzor was owed some money and he asked his three classmates to accompany him to the village to collect on the debt.

Within minutes of their arrival, a rumor spread that the students were not there to collect but to


steal. An enraged mob stripped them naked while beating them with sticks and rocks then wrapped car tires around their necks -- a form of torture known as "necklacing." As the four men sat on the muddy ground dazed and pleading for their lives, someone doused them with gasoline, lit a match and set them on fire.

The killing of the "Aluu four" was filmed and posted on the web for the world to see and now serves as a stark reminder of what can happen when the rule of law fails and communities turn to vigilante groups to carry out summary executions of criminal suspects, said Eric Guttschuss, Nigeria researcher at Human Rights Watch.

"Vigilante justice and mob justice generally takes place when there is a culture of impunityfor crimes and in Nigeria, the Nigerian authorities have failed to crack down on this culture of impunity," Guttschuss told CNN.

Mob justice is not unique to Nigeria and it would be unfair to characterize it as such.

One infamous lynching in particular shocked the world and helped to spark the civil rights movement in the United States. In August 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till was beaten, his eyes gouged and shot in the head. His body was then thrown in the Tallahatchie River with a 70-pound cotton gin tied around his neck with barbed wire. His crime? Allegedly whistling at a white woman.

Till's mother insisted on a public funeral service with an open casket showing the horribly mutilated and bloated body of her child so that the world would see


"If my son sees you 100 times he will greet you 110 times."

Biringa says the boys also had promising futures in music. They had already recorded a song together called "Ain't No Love in the City" -- a title she now says seems eerily like a premonition of what came to pass.

"It's almost as if they knew they were going to die," Biringa said.

Biringa and her husband, Steven, an oil executive at Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), says that he watched the video because he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen his son's killing with his own eyes.

First wavers also fought for the abolition of slavery—after all, both women and slaves were fighting against white male dominance—and some famous first wave feminists were woman of color—like Maria Stewart, Frances Harper, and Sojourner Truth.

Early on, the movement also included working-class women; but by the end, first wave feminism mainly involved, well-educated, middle-class white women. In fact, it may have been a group of such women being arrested for protesting in front of the White House in 1918 (and other events like it) that finally led to public sympathy for the movement and served as the catalyst for the passage of the 19th Amendment two years later. They may have been running against traditional roles by beingand the care of husbands and children is their only role. Men dominate and control society and women, not like they did in the 1800s, but like they did in the 1600s. Indeed, Atwood says that Gilead reflects a revival of the Puritan religious beliefs of those who colonized America. It’s no coincidence that the story is set is Massachusetts. One moral of the story must be to not take the accomplishments of first wave feminism for granted.
