Coachella means redemption for desert rock luminary

Brant Bjork, a luminary of the desert rock scene for 25 years, was crushed when he wasn't identified as being a part of it on Dave Grohl's fall HBO series, "Sonic Highways."

Grohl shined a spotlight on desert rock and Bjork's band, Kyuss, with footage from the early 1990s of the Nirvana drummer touting the Palm Springs scene and Kyuss' 1992 album, "Blues for the Red Sun." But interviewed on camera were guitarist Josh Homme and producer Chris Goss from Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, and desert rock pioneers Mario Lalli and Scott Reeder.

The broadcast only aggravated the hurt Bjork was already feeling after settling a lawsuit with Homme and Reeder for having toured under the name Kyuss Lives! without permissionfrom Homme and Reeder as license holders to the Kyuss name.

Bjork, 42, is credited on the cover of "Blues for the Red Sun" for that album's concept, but the band didn't license the name Kyuss until after Bjork left the band.

Kyuss lead singer John Garcia said in an interview this week Bjork and Homme were the band's co-leaders and "he and Josh were a great team. Brant's a great songwriter and I 100 percent believe he is one of the reasons Kyuss was so successful."

But the tide may be turning for Bjork. He's been invited to play Coachella for the first time with his new band, Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punk Band. Their new album, "Black Power Flower," has enabled Bjork to release his feelings about


the lawsuit, the breakup of Kyuss and the discoveries he's made about himself as the son of a black man raised by adopted white parents.

The song, "Stokely Up Now," with its line, "Hey, did you see that?/That's a dog and that's a cat" is Bjork "calling it like he sees it" about being a member of Kyuss. But "Buddha Time (Everything Fine)," indicates he's moving on as he repeats the line, "It's all good."

His wife, Zaina Alwan, says "Black Power Flower" is Bjork "putting up his dukes."

"This record is very much speaking the truth for where he is right now," Alwan said. "I do think it's a powerful thing and (turning to Bjork) I think it's your version. You're not going to go sock someone in the face,"50 Million Year Trip" is a song about Nick Oliveri rolling his car — stories we all grow up with in the desert. I got the cover of the record. It was a picture from that book, "Our Universe."

We recorded the record with Chris Goss. I used to go up to Chris Goss' house in Hollywood and we used to sit in his listening room and smoke joints and listen to '70s rock records for sonic and arrangement references. We went to master "Blues for the Red Sun" in New York City. I was going to that mastering session with Chris Goss and Josh decided he wanted to go. So, while the session was going on, Catherine pulled me into a conference room. Josh was sitting there and

In an interview with the Sky News Murnaghan programme, Farage said a key Ukip policy in health was getting rid of doctors with poor English from the NHS – even though they are already required to pass a languageand chronic headache disorders occurring on ≥15 days/month---and use this information to raise awareness, among the general public, health-care professionals, health policy-makers and governments of Europe, of headache as a major cause of public ill-health. Ultimately, its aim was to contribute to the improvement of health care for headache and the quality of life of people affected by headache disorders.

This paper describes the structure, organization and methods of the project.

Project description {#Sec2}
===================

The project took the form of surveys by structured questionnaire, conducted from November 2008 to August 2009, of population samples from ten countries of Europe representing 60% of the adult population of the European Union: Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain and UK.

The basic methods were developed, tested in a pilot study in Luxembourg \[[@CR4]\]


{#Sec9}
======

Here the project was performed with the cooperation of 80 GPs in the Voironnais region, which includes both urban and rural areas. Each GP received 30 questionnaires and distributed them to consecutive patients aged 18--65 years on one particular day of a pre-specified week. The questionnaires were completed in the waiting room and handed back in sealed envelopes. When this was not done, one reminder letter was sent by e-mail after 1 week.

Germany {#Sec10}
=======

A list identifying a randomly selected population-based sample (*n* = 3,000) aged 18--65 years was obtained from the local municipal authority. For an urban/rural mix, half were drawn from the 580,000 inhabitants of the city of Essen in North-Rhine Westphalia and half from the 50,000 people living in the town of Kleve and surrounding villages in the western part ofwas performed in all cases: by two students in Austria, by two secretaries in France, by two students supervised by a physician in Germany, by a professional information officer and administrative staff in Ireland, in part by two members of the research team and in part by data-management personnel of CRP-Santé for Italy, by two members of the research team in Lithuania, by two students supervised by the scientific data-management leader of CRP-Santé in Luxembourg, by personnel from Het Ondersteuningsburo (HOB), an administrative support organization employed by NVvHP, in the Netherlands, by administrative staff of AEPAC in Spain and in part by two administrative staff members of Migraine Action UK and in part by data-management personnel of CRP-Santé for the UK.

The Indianapolis Parks Foundation has selected Tanya Husain as its new president, the group announced Monday.

Husain, who has been executive director of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Indiana State Chapter, will replace retiring parks foundation President Cindy Porteous. Porteous announced her retirement earlier this year.

As head of the parks foundation, Husain will lead an organization that raises money for developing, upgrading and maintaining Indianapolis’ parks and related programs.

The incoming president previously served as the executive director of the American Cancer Society in central Indiana and associate vice president of university relations in Butler University’s advancement office. She also has experience in fundraising at Chicago’s Public Broadcasting Service station, WTTW-TV.

The foundation credits Porteous with raising more than $30 million since she came to the not-for-profit in 2000.


She said she chose to retire because the organization had reached several milestones, including the group’s 20th anniversary and the end of a three-year Lilly Endowment grant that improved several park facilities.

There is no state welfare system in Ethiopia. The present study was conducted in and around the town of Butajira, which is located 135 km south of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. The Butajira area is found within the Gurage administrative zone, in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region. There has been a demographic surveillance site (DSS) in the area since 1987 \[[@CR23]\], which provides the necessary infrastructure and support for conduct of community-based research studies.

There are both urban and rural dwellers in the Butajira area, but the majority of the people live rurally. The topography is variable, ranging from hot, dry lowlands


are taken to Holy Water healing sites within the Orthodox Christian church, we also interviewed two Orthodox Christian healers from Butajira town. We were not able to use FGDs for these participants as it was difficult to bring together healers from different churches.

Four FGDs were carried out (six to ten participants in each group) with caregivers of people with SMD in the Butajira cohort. The selected caregivers were all close family members (parents, sons/daughters, siblings or husband/wife) who were living with the person with SMD and balanced in terms of gender mix. One FGD was conducted with all of the Butajira SMD cohort study project outreach workers, who were five in number (two females and four males). FGD was used with caregivers and project outreach workers to elicitlimited to men or women and others were expected to be undertaken by both men and women. The most important type of work for men in the study area was reported to be farming, which included seasonal tasks of varying difficulty: ploughing, digging, sowing, weeding, and harvesting. Men were also reported to be expected to carry out small-scale business or trading. Women were expected to do some, but not all, aspects of farming, including growing food in the immediate locality of the home, weeding, and supporting men with ploughing and harvesting. However, the most critical work activities carried out by women were reported to be various domestic tasks: for example, cooking food, cleaning the house, washing clothes, and fetching water. Women were also expected to engage in small-scale

She misinterprets what others are talking and feels angry.(Caregiver, male, 50, rural, father of a woman with SMD)*""*He \[the patient\] talks alone; he has little communication and relationship with other people. He doesn't want to enjoy with other people; he wants to be alone. He stays at home for twenty four hours and doesn't do anything.(Caregiver, female, 30, rural, wife of a man with SMD)*"

However, there were differences in terms of gender and whether the patient was in recovery or relapse. Participants described that patients had very poor communication, tended to instigate conflict with family members, neighbors and with the community, and werelife. He is careless in terms of his relationship with other people. He even considers social activities and participation in community activities as useless. This is his major problem.(Caregiver, male, 55, rural, brother of a man with SMD)*"

Family life {#Sec16}
-----------

People with SMD were reported to have problems with regard to family life, particularly with getting married and having children. Respondents reported that negative attitudes from community members were an important reason impeding marriage of a person with mental illness. The other reported reason for reluctance to marry a person with mental illness was due to their poverty. People with SMD were seen to be on the lowest rung of the economic ladder, compared to the general population, due to their difficulties in working productively. The burden associated with

Almost all groups of respondents reported a difference between men and women with SMD in terms of the opportunity they had to get married and have children. Generally, men with SMD were able to make use of the traditional arranged marriage system in rural Ethiopian communities. That is, the relatives of the man with SMD could find a woman and ask her parents to marry the man. However, this kind of arrangement was not possible for women."*People don't expect that a women patient would be well in the future. Even after she gets better, she can't get married. But, the man will easily get married if he is betterto stigma and because of the symptoms associated with the illness. As a result their employment choices were highly restricted, especially in urban areas.

Stigma and family burden {#Sec18}
------------------------

Other consequences of functional impairment were reported to be stigma and family burden. People with SMD were stigmatized not only because they had the illness or due to the symptoms associated with the illness, but also because they were not able to care for themselves, engage in productive activities, because they entered into conflict with other people, and because they did not participate in different community activities. Family members reported a heavy burden in caring for people with SMD, related to their social, economic and family life. Family members also discontinued their education due to the economic, social and time burden


judgment incorporated a property settlement entered into on February 14, 1972. Under one of the terms of the settlement the *399 defendant husband agreed never to change his will, which provided that the two children born of the marriage were the principal beneficiaries.
Mr. Palko died on June 18, 1973 and his will was admitted to probate on July 5, 1973. On July 22, 1974, the plaintiff filed a motion to reopen and set aside the judgment of divorce dated May 16, 1972. She attached to the moving papers an affidavit asserting that she was "astounded to learn he left a personal estate in excess of $175,000" and that "[a]ll during the course of the pretrial negotiations and conferences with my attorney, my former husband and his attorney, whichwere quite extensive, I relied upon the representations which the defendant made as to poverty." She also relied upon an affidavit of the attorney of record. He averred that the financial provisions of the settlement agreement "were predicated upon representations made to me" by the defendant's attorney. Conspicuous by its absence in his affidavit was any reference to representations made personally by the defendant.
No other affidavits were submitted on or before the return day of the motion and the plaintiff's counsel offered no testimony at that time. In fact, the plaintiff was not even present. Yet, she presumably had first hand knowledge of the alleged misrepresentations. At the oral argument on the motion plaintiff's counsel agreed that basically she was charging fraud.

Begich Calls on Republicans to Drop Senate Nominee Holds

U.S. Sen. Mark Begich Jan. 26 called on Republicans in the Senate to stop playing games with President Obama's nominees, including the nomination of the U.S. Marshal for Alaska.

Former Anchorage Police Chief Rob Heun was in line for unanimous consent approval by the Senate last Friday, along with a Rhode Island circuit court judge candidate. But Republicans have refused to allow any further nominees to be considered by the Senate, with the exception of a district judge for Washington state approved Jan. 25.

"It's frustrating to see critical positions like the U.S Marshal for Alaska not being filled because Republicans are trying to score political points by attempting to block the president," Begich said. "Chief Heun is standing by, ready toKatuuso School in Uganda

Road Rage Victim Denied Justice

'When we got that verdict, we got physically ill'

Josh Deraitus was driving home from the gym in early January of 2011 when his world was turned upside down.

While in transit, the Seattle resident accidentally cut off another another driver, who became enraged and started following Deraitus, trying to pass him several times. According to court documents, the driver of the other vehicle then pulled up alongside Deraitus, drew out a gun and shot him in the face.

"I just remember thinking, 'If I pass out, I'm not opening my eyes, and this is how I'm going to die here in the street,'" he told KEPRTV.

Deraitus said that he got a very good look at the shooter before he pulled the gun.

"I saw his face," hesaid. "I saw him shoot me. I knew I was shot."

He was to the hospital where he wound up losing his eye, but his nightmare didn't end there.

Authorities arrested Justin McCleod, who, according to KEPRTV, was a felon with a history of crimes and arrests and charged him in the shooting.

But, earlier this week, to the shock and dismay of Deraitus and his family, a King Country Superior Court judge acquitted McCleod, stating that there wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

"When we got that verdict, we got physically ill," Deraitus' father said to KEPRTV. "We know that the justice system failed us in this case -- there's no question."

McCleod walked away from the ordeal a free man and has since been arrested and imprisoned for a different crime.

Abdulelah Al-Taweel further explained that the application enables the Red Crescent Authority in developing the system of emergency services in the Kingdom, especially in the Haj season. This application helps to reach emergency cases accurately in the areas of Haj.

The Saudi Red Crescent Society will utilize this application for the Haj season, to enable users to submit the address to the Operations Room of the Saudi Red Crescent in a way that helps the emergency teams to reach the square in the least time possible and contribute to savingutilized by Saudi Tourism in order to help the increasing number of tourists traveling across the Kingdom, find where they want to go.

MAKKAH — About 9,000 copies of the Holy Qur'an are being pulled out of the Grand Mosque every day for errors in the text or incomplete pages, according to Khaled Al-Harithy, director of the department of books of the Presidency of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques.

He said most of the copies with printing mistakes come from Syria and are brought by pilgrims seeking reward from Almighty Allah by putting them in the shelves in the Grand Mosque.

Harithy said as many as 70 employees and 140 workers work around-the-clock to check the authenticity of the copies of the Qur'an.

The umbrellas were distributed by the department of public relations of the Presidency of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques within its program titled: “Serving pilgrims and visitors is a source of pride for us.” This is the seventh year of the program, which enables the pilgrims to beat the scorching heat in Makkah and other holy places.

The presidency said the umbrellas will protect the pilgrims against scorching heat and immune them against sunstroke and heat exhaustion.

A number of pilgrims appreciated the gifts and thanked the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for its outstanding services being provided to the Guests of Allah.

They said the government has left no stone unturned to extend consummateservices to the pilgrims to enable them do their Haj rituals in ease, peace and comfort.

The number of pilgrims during the last ten years stood at 23,796,977, according to the GaStat.

August 4, 2019

JEDDAH — The Kingdom has served 95,853,017 pilgrims during the last 50 years, the General Authority for Statistic (GaStat) said on Saturday.

The number of pilgrims exceeded two million in 19 seasons, and the number of pilgrims during the past 25 years reached (54,465,253), while the number of pilgrims during the last ten years stood at 23,796,977, according to the GaStat.

The mission of counting the number of pilgrims each year is one of the most critical tasks that GaStat has the honor of assigning to about two decades ago when it was working under the name of


the Department of Statistics and Information, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

The authority has been responsible for providing specific information to help the planning and development of everything related to the service of the pilgrims. This task has continued throughout these years to witness the growth of statistical methods.

The authority is required to implement three statistical projects during the Haj season (pilgrims numbers, services provided to pilgrims, and indicators of Haj management) to provide as much as information needed to support decision makers to achieve the highest degree of accuracy and comprehensiveness of data.

The Haj statistics program aims to complete all programs of plans to provide the necessary services for pilgrims, whether social, health, security, food or transportation services, using a time series for accurate data on thenumber of pilgrims.

Also the use of data and numbers of pilgrims by the agencies concerned with the study of facilities and necessary facilities in Makkah and the holy places, and take them into account when preparing the necessary plans for that, as well as providing the accurate data on Haj statistics for researchers, scholars, beneficiaries and those interested in this field.

GaStat will issue the final and official number of pilgrims on the evening of the 9th Dhul-Hijjah, through the Haj statistics bulletin, showing detailed results including number of residence pilgrims, number of pilgrims coming from abroad, number of pilgrims by sex, nationality, destination, and other detailed data.

JEDDAH: Makkah Gov. Prince Khalid Al-Faisal on Sunday said more than 329,000 people had been stopped from entering the holy city since


collaborating with the Hajj tour operators.

During the one-hour trainings, the operator wears the gear and uses the controllers to interact with the 3D world while the audience members view the Hajj rituals on the faint screens in front of them.

The software currently runs on PC virtual reality headsets such as Oculus Rift, with plans in place to launch a mobile app soon.

In April this year, the company provided a demo at the Dolmen Mall in Karachi city to nearly 4,000 people, several of whom were fascinated to see this kind of technology in Pakistan, Maqbool said.

Pakistan is one of several countries with the highest number of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Nearly 1.6 million Pakistanis performed Umrah during the current season as of June 6, 2019, according to thealso lauded the success of Saudia Arabia’s Hajj plans, praising the efforts under the king’s leadership to facilitate the annual pilgrimage for millions of Muslims.

King Salman said the Kingdom would do everything it could so that pilgrims could perform their rituals with ease, security and safety.

Chechnya President Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov also extended his congratulations to the king and crown prince on Eid Al-Adha.

He praised Saudi Arabia for its achievements and services at the holy sites of Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina, stressing that these efforts were appreciated and welcomed by all Muslims.

He said the success of the Hajj was a message to anyone doubting the Kingdom’s leading role in the service of the Two Holy Mosques, calling on all Muslims to support Saudi Arabia in the challenges it faced.

Al-Tuwaijri


praised the Kingdom’s massive development projects, which are aimed at serving pilgrims and visitors to the Two Holy Mosques.

Egypt’s Parliamentary Affairs Minister Omar Marwan expressed his appreciation for the king and crown prince’s services to Hajj. He said that the good planning and wealth of experience among Saudi authorities and agencies meant that pilgrims were able to move between sites smoothly, as well as perform their Hajj rituals with ease.

The chairman of the African Scholars Forum, Sheikh Mohammed Alhafiz Alnahawi, remarked on the development of services provided to pilgrims in Makkah, the holy sites and Madinah.

These images taken by a Saudi-owned satellite show the sprawling pilgrims’ tentcity at Mina and the Grand Mosque in Makkah during Hajj. The satellite, whichis owned by the King Abdulaziz City for Science1951, work was completed on the multiple-antenna installation. It was designed and built so that each of the five television and three FM stations could employ the maximum radiation permitted by the FCC. As shown in Fig. 3. the tower becomes progressively narrower as its height increases. This construction was dictated by the principles of good mechanical design. Since the wavelength and consequently element size, decreases with increasing frequency. the antennas were generally arranged for increasing frequency with increasing height. The NBC antenna was an exception to this rule for two reasons: As original tenant at Empire State, NBC had prior rights to position on the tower, Also. since NBC chose a superturnstile antenna, it had to he on lop, the slim steel pole would not support additional


antennas above it. In addition to handling the signals of five television stations, the tower was designed to radiate transmissions from three FM stations. The NBC FM transmitter output was triplexed into the NBC TV antenna, The ABC and CBS FM signals were diplexed into a single set of dipoles installed within the CBS TV antenna near the bottom of the tower. In June of 1951, WNBT began transmissions from its antenna on the tower. In August, WPIX (channel 11) and what is now WABC-TV (channel 7) started using their facilities on the structure, WABD (now WNEW-TV. channel 5) joined the other stations in October, and WCBS-TV (channel 2) was operating from its new facilities by December. The ABC and CBS FM stations began operating from their commonantenna in March of 1952. With five of the then existing seven New York metropolitan area TV stations transmitting from the Empire State Building, the trend soon reached the other two. In 1952, WATV (now WNDT. channel 13), began transmitting from an antenna mounted on the mooring mast of the building. An additional installation was made during 1953, and in, December WOR-TV (channel 9) began transmission from an antenna at the top of the mooring mast, just below the multiple-antenna lower. Sister station WOR-FM followed in 1956, utilizing an antenna just below the base of the multiple-antenna tower. In 1958, WNEW-FM began operation from an antenna within the WNEW-TV array. When, in 1961, the FCC planned a test of UHF television in a metropolitan area. the Empire State


Building was chosen as the antenna site. For the first (and so far only) lime in Its history, the Commission itself became a broadcast licensee. WUHF started transmitting November 1, 1961 from an antenna located on the four corners of the tower, beside the WCBS-TV array, near the tower base. The station (on channel 31) was later donated to the City of New fork and became WNYC-TV. By 1965 a ninth TV station had come on the air in the New York 'areaWNJU-TV (channel 47) licensed to Linden.

New England secure key trio Dube, Mansally & Nyassi

New England Revolution have announced the re-signing of key trio Kheli Dube, Kenny Mansally and Sainey Nyassi.

Because of MLS and team policies, none additional details were released in regards to the three new contracts.

26-year old forward Dube will add to the two years he has already spent at the club in which time he has scored 12 goals from 47 appearances whilst 20-year old Gambian Mansally has made 43 appearances since joining in 2006. 20-year old Nyassi, also from Gambia, has made 54 appearances for the Revs after arriving in 2007.

Revolution vice-president of player personnel Michael Burns was delighted to secure the trio.

"We're glad that MLS has been able to resign Kheli, Kenny and Sainey," Burns said. "All


three have been solid performers for us the last two years, and we are pleased that they will continue their playing careers with the Revolution."

With the impending economic slowdown over the next two years, the government has understood the necessity of being careful with budgetary funds and the previous entirely public pension system would be too costly. The opposition to this reform may seem perplexing to outside observers, as pension privatisation has been hailed as a successful policy for dealing with similar budgetary problems that governments have in the developed world. The blog, “the Armenian Economist” notes that countries with similar pension packages include Australia, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland.

At the time of writing, the National Assembly has approved a new bill on pension reform, after the Court gave them until the end of september to bring it into conformity with the constitution. The new prime minister, Hovik Abrahamyan, has publicly stated that the changes to the reform will make it optional to subscribers.

Alternate history is a genre of speculative fiction which alters historical events and sets stories within the worlds created by those changes. It differs from historical fiction, which mostly sticks to real history. Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny is set in our own historical timeline for World War II and is thus historical fiction. Harry Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies imagines a world in which the Axis powers prevailed in that war and is thus alternate history.

Alternate history may be divided into two subgenres: alternate events and alternate settings. The alternate events subgenre focuses on the changing events themselves. Robert Conroy's Red Inferno, for example, is a novel in form but addresses primarily a war between the Soviet


books.

The first rule of alternate history is that the changes must be reasonable and the outcomes plausible. The author, Peter G. Tsouras, is a retired US Army officer and professional military historian. He has genuine expertise on the subjects about which he writes.

As a result, his alternate histories are thoroughly realistic--a feat that not all novels in the genre can attain. Lengthy endnotes for his sources (some of which are, amusingly, imaginary) support his changes and outcomes.

In these two novels, Britain enters the American Civil War on the side of the South--something that nearly happened in real history.

2. Redcoats' Revenge by David Fitz-Enz. Britain offered her greatest general of the Napoleonic Wars, the Duke of Wellington (right), command of its forces against the United States during the Warof 1812. Wellington declined the offer. This novel by retired US Army officer and military historian David G. Fitz-Enz speculates about the outcome of Wellington accepting the offer and coming to North America.

Fitz-Enz focuses on the Lake Champlain campaign, on which he also published a non-fiction history. Like Tsouras's works, Redcoats' Revenge is realistic and written more like a straightforward history than a novel. It's a first-rate work of alternate history.

Highlight the following text for a spoiler: As an American, I found this novel deeply disturbing. It left me unsettled for days. In short, America loses--badly. Redcoats' Revenge was a completely plausible and horrifying demonstration of how close my country came to losing the War of 1812 and the terrible consequences that would have resulted. As a work


of alternate history, it's perfect. But I wouldn't read it again.

3. The Greenhill Books alternate history series. The British publishing company Greenhill Books has published a series of anthologies of short alternate history scenarios on many different subjects. Most are written by historians or other people fairly knowledgeable on historical topics. All of them address military history, such as winning scenarios for Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany during World War II or different outcomes for the Napoleonic Wars or the Cold War.

4. Custer at the Alamo by Gregory Urbach. This work is both an alternate history and a time travel novel. Purists may understandably reject the novel entirely.

When a scenario is completely implausible, alternate history fans often refer to it as ASB--alien space bats. Lt. Col. George ArmstrongCuster and elements of the Seventh Cavalry, on the eve of the Battle of Little Big Horn, are transported back in time and space to Texas during the Texas Revolution. It is therefore inherently implausible. But once you accept time travel, then Urbach's carefully researched novel makes sense. The historical figures behave in completely reasonable ways.

The novel is written in the first person perspective from Custer's point of view. I perceived that Custer is an unreliable narrator--a sophisticated narrative technique normally not seen in alternate history.

5. In the Balance by Harry Turtledove. It's the summer of 1942. The world is embroiled in war. At this point, aliens invade the Earth.

Okay, this series is definitely alien space bats, but it's good ASB.

No list of alternate history novels can fail


to include Harry Turtledove. The PhD-trained Byzantine historian is often billed as "the master of alternate history." I wouldn't elevate him that high, but Turtledove is defintely the most prolific published author in the genre.

He is perhaps best known for an alternate timeline that begins with the South winning the American Civil War and ends with the USA and the CSA battling for a final time during World War II. It's a fine series, but if I had to choose, I'd say that his earlier Worldwar series is superior.

6. Lee at the Alamo by Harry Turtledove. My interest in Turtledove has decreased over time. His recent works are excessively verbose and stretch out story arcs far too long. A more compact and excellent workby Turtledove is his novella Lee at the Alamo.

Don't worry! There's no time travel here. A minor change to real history delays Robert E. Lee's exit from Texas prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War.

7. Gettysburg: A Novel of the Civil War by Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen. This is the first novel in a trilogy that imagines the immediate results of a Confederate victory at the Battle of Gettysburg. If you love alternate history or military fiction, this series will keep you on the edge of your seat with excitement.

These two authors also wrote 1945, a fairly strong alternate history in which the US went to war with Japan, but not Germany, during World War II.

(Map of North America in Bring the Jubilee by


Federation X)

8. Bring the Jubilee by Ward Moore. This 1953 novel helped popularize the genre of alternate history. It takes place during the Twentieth Century after a Southern victory at Gettysburg and the Civil War. The main character, Hodge McCormick Backmaker, is a historian living in an impoverished and greatly reduced USA. During his life, scientists develop a method for time travel.

9. The Plot Against America by Philip Roth. Philip Roth is a highly respected author of literary fiction--the hoity-toity stuff intellectuals read. He published his own foray into the alternate history genre in 2004. The Plot Against America describes the experiences of his own American Jewish family when President Charles Lindbergh, an anti-Semite who flirted with Nazi Germany, keeps America out of the European War.

The Plot Againstan extensive agenda in the area of free trade negotiations, with deals with Hong Kong and a collection of states in the Persian Gulf due to be signed this year. Negotiations with the United States, which wants a broad Asia-Pacific free trade zone based on the existing Trans-Pacific Partnership - which includes New Zealand - would be the most important focus, but proposed agreements with South Korea and India were also likely to progress.

Plans to increase work test measures for beneficiaries - a centrepiece National welfare policy at the last election - would also be significantly progressed, as would reforms to the education sector.

A proposal to allow mineral mining on Conservation Department land that is presently locked out was expected in the near future.

Arab newlyweds went on a vacation to London. One day in the hotel room, the husband heard his wife scream, "Far! Faaaarrrr!" (which is the Arabic word for "mouse"). He wanted to inform Room Service but did not know what the English word for "faar" is. He called:-
Husband: Hello, room service?!
Room service : Yes sir, how can I help you??
Husband: Mmmm... Yaani you knows Tom & Jerry?
Room service: :s ..Yes, sir, I know Tom & Jerry.
Husband: Jerry is hereto 7% in the Northwest Territories. The proportion of deaths in special care units varied by size and nature (teaching vs. non-teaching) of hospitals. It increased with the size of the hospital from 8% in hospitals with 1-49 beds, to 23% for hospitals with 400 or more beds. In teaching hospitals, 27% of deaths occurred in special care units, and in non-teaching hospitals the proportion was 15%. In conclusion, the majority of deaths in Canada occur in hospitals and a substantial proportion occur in special care units, raising questions about the appropriateness and quality of current end-of-life care practices in Canada.


Depot Awards Show earlier this month that he wouldn't be sitting out the Sugar Bowl.

“The Dawgs are playing, and I’m still a Dawg,” Reed said, per the Athens Banner-Herald's Marc Weiszer.

Kirby Smart met with reporters shortly after the team arrived in New Orleans on Thursday but he refused to comment on any players who were not present. He was asked specifically about senior defensive tackle Tyler Clark and senior running back Brian Herrien and had the same exact quote on each player.

"We're going to focus on the players that are playing in the game," Smart said

That statement indicates that neither of those players will be available for the Sugar Bowl and it also suggests that neither made the trip with the team.

Georgia will also be without junior lefttackle Andrew Thomas, redshirt sophomore right tackle Isaiah Wilson, and fourth-year junior right guard Ben Cleveland. Thomas and Wilson have announced that they are leaving school early and entering the 2020 NFL Draft. Neither will participate in the Sugar Bowl so as to protect their professional interests.

Cleveland will miss the game due to academic issues but his father, Derek, told Dawgs247 earlier this month that the plan is for the 6-foot-6 340-pound lineman to return for his final season in Athens.

Reed has started 42 straight games at Georgia dating back to the start of the 2017 season. His UGA career ends with him having piled up 199 total tackles (107 solo), nine tackles for a loss, three sacks, five interceptions, 14 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and three


AC/DC preview Rock 'N Roll Train on MySpace

Full single hits radio Aug. 28

Shares

If you want 30 seconds...

AC/DC have posted a 30-second preview of Rock 'N Roll Train on their official MySpace page.

It's from the first single of their long-awaited album, Black Ice, While the excerpt is basically the opening riff, it's a good indication of what fans can expect from the band's first album in eight years - a 15-track bonanza that recalls the down-and-dirty, blues-based rock 'n' roll of its iconic 1980 album Back In Black.

Due Oct. 20 exclusively in the US at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores as well as ACDC.com, the album opens with Rock 'N Roll Train (which hits radio on August 28). But that's just one of many gems to be found.

According toand we want to thank him for his service to the New York Red Bulls.

“Markus, an excellent professional, has been an important part of our club and defense for the past two seasons, helping us win the Supporters’ Shield in 2013, and we are very sad to lose him. We want to wish him the best of luck.”

As Roxburgh indicated, money was the central issue. Holgersson was set to make $250k in the final year of his guaranteed contract. That would put the Red Bulls in a tight spot at season’s end with three well-paid, starting caliber centerbacks on the team — including Ibrahim Sekagya, 33, who brings with him a championship pedigree and the veteran presence New York sought for most of the 2013 season.

Despite a poor


showing in the playoffs, Red Bull brass still rated the Ugandan defender over the man fans affectionately dubbed “The Last Viking.” The development of Matt Miazga also helped force the issue. The team is quite high on the rookie defender, who has become a regular with the U.S. U-20 team.

Nevertheless, sources close to Holgersson say he was shocked the team would try to “force him out” of his guaranteed deal at seasons end. The Swedish defender wanted to finish out his time in New York — especially after overcoming so much adversity in the 2013 season to earn his keep. His self-described “finesse” style of play from the centerback position put him at odds with rookie coach Mike Petke who sought a more physical, intimidation-centric style from thehe would have restructured his contract to finish the final year. Segaya cost us a cup, we had Houston on the ropes and he gifted them a goal, he also gave up penalties and earned red cards. Holgerson played right back for us, lost his job ridiculously at the start of the season and earned it back. What BS, Miller says to hell with us goes off to Costa Rica and RBNY craps their pants and give him a new deal but the treat Holgerson like this. Let me explain something to Mike and the guy with the kilt, a club needs club legends, testimonial matches, loyalty, 1st Angel, then

about it."

A couple of weeks later, however, Riley says he was shocked to learn Jackson's title for the track: "Blood on the Dance Floor." Riley got goose bumps. "It was like he prophesied that record. He felt its mood."

Over the subsequent months, Jackson and Riley began working feverishly on a variety of tracks, sometimes separately, sometimes together at Larabee Studios in Los Angeles. "I remember he came back with this melody, 'Blood on the dance floor, blood on the dance floor.' I was like, 'Wow!' He came up with these lyrics and harmonies. Then we just started building it up, layer by layer."

Riley used a vintage drum machine (the MPC 3000) for the beat. The snare was compressed to make it pop ("I want it dry and inyour face," Jackson used to say). It was a sound they used throughout the Dangerous album. "Listen to 'Remember the Time,'" Riley says. "It's very similar."

Ultimately, however, "Blood on the Dance Floor" didn't end up making it onto Dangerous. "It wasn't quite finished," Riley says. "There were still some vocal parts missing. Michael loved the song, but he would listen to it and say, 'I like what you did here, but we still need this here.' He was a perfectionist."

As the Dangerous sessions continued, other tracks began to take priority, including "Remember the Time" and "In the Closet." Jackson wouldn't resume work on "Blood" until nearly seven years later. It was now January of 1997. Jackson was in the midst of his HIStory World Tour, and had decided


to visit Montreux, Switzerland during a break between the first and second leg (according to news reports, while there he also tried to purchase the home of his longtime idol, Charlie Chaplin).

Here, at Mountain Studio, Jackson went to work on the old demo. "We took Teddy's DAT (Digital Audio Tape) and worked it over with a four-man crew," recalls musician, Brad Buxer. The completed multi-track, engineered, and mixed by Mick Guzauski, was modeled very closely on the last version Jackson and Riley recorded.

"When I heard it finished, I wished I could've been the one to [complete it]," Riley says. "But Michael knows what he wants, and he was happy with it."while head and neck position did not. In particular, playing the guitar decreased the amplitude of the "singer formant" and increased noise, causing a typical "raucous rock voice."

New ground handling policy at metro airports

After being deferred twice, the civil aviation ministry has announced implementation of the much-disputed Ground Handling Policy from April 1.

With this, there will be only three ground handlers at each of the six metro airports in the country. At present, each airline has its own ground handling staff.

"The civil aviation ministry has asked all airport operators to initiate steps to implement from April 1. The Delhi high court has rejected a plea by airlines to stay implementation," said the Airports Authority of India.

The policy was to be implemented from January 1, but various airlines got a stay from the HC. This was overturned, but they've since gone to the Supreme Court. the hearing there is on April 4.

Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkataand Chennai airports will have only three ground handlers each. One is to be Air India-Singapore Airport Terminal Services and the other will be the airport operator, in alliance with a ground handling partner.

The third handler for these six will be chosen by competitive bidding.

"AAI will get additional revenue of at least Rs. 350 crore (Rs. 3.5 billion) per annum, as the authorised ground-handling agencies nominated by it would start work at important airports like Chennai and Kolkata from April 1," added its statement.

The ministry had initially proposed to introduce the policy from 2007, but there was resistance from airlines and personnel supply agencies.

DGCA, flying schools to meet tomorrow

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation is likely to discuss the procedures followed in logging of pilots' flying hours on


training and how to bring out best practices to weed out corruption from the system.

The meeting, to be held between officials of the aviation regulator and flying schools on Tuesday, will also discuss procedures followed during the renewal

of licences of these flying institutes.

"Not only in issuing pilot licences but best practices are not followed in even renewing the licences of the flying institutes, which needs to be discussed as well as the issue of fake flying hours," a DGCA official said on the condition of anonymity.

Every flying school has to get its licence renewed from DGCA every year and that is were rules are flouted.

"Not all the private flying institutes in the country have the best infrastructure required and get into unscrupulous ways to get their licence renewed,"said an official of a government-owned flying institute.

There are 40 flying schools in the country and all of them are under the DGCA scanner.

The regulator also wants a complete revamp of the system followed during issuing licences to pilots. It is also going to appoint a third party to scrutinise aviation academies.

Till now, of the 4,500 Airline Transport Pilot Licences issued by DGCA, the aviation regulator has verified 1,700. Of the 1,700, seven turned out to be fake.

On Saturday, DGCA Assistant Director Pradeep Kumar and three others, including a pilot, were arrested in connection with the fake flying licence scam under which pilots were procuring licences using forged marksheets.

The Crime Branch of Delhi Police had earlier arrested two pilots.

The first to be apprehended was suspended Indigo pilot Parminder


Kaur Gulati on March 8 and J K Verma of Air India four days later.

Meenakshi Sehgal of Indigo, another suspect, has obtained a court order preventing her arrest though she has been asked to join investigations.

However, pilots Swaran Singh Talwar of MDLR and Syed Habib Ali and Bhupinder Singh, who have licences but have not joined any airline, are still on the run.Neighbors tried to save fire victim

RICHLAND, Wash. - A Richland woman lost her life in a fire despite the valiant efforts of her neighbors.

KEPR talked to some witnesses who say they tried desperately to save Denise Myers, to no avail.

Jestina Mason took a picture of the fire. Flames shooting through the roof of her neighbor's home. It woke up the entire neighborhood on Fitch Street just before midnight Sunday.

She said, "You kinda go into this, I gotta go and do something mode.

Her next door neighbor Steven Smith agreed,"Exactly, I had an adrenaline rush."

But it was too late. Nothing could be done to save 54-year-old Denise Myers or her cats. Crews found her body in her bedroom, her animals close by.

Seventeen firefighters from three different departments responded


to the call. It took them about 10-15 minutes to actually put out the fire. Still, fire authorities tell KEPR its going to be quite sometime until they figure out just what happened here."

Jestina and Steven heard glass popping. They thought it was a burglary, so they ran outside. By then, several other neighbors were already trying to help. They were screaming to Denise trying to figure out if she was still inside.

Steven said, "The only thing you could see from about 6-inches off the ground was smoke."

It's why he said he tried going through the front door first. It was locked so he and some other men went around the back. They kicked down the back door, but the heat was too much.

The season-opening Tournament of Champions was postponed for the second straight day because of gusts that topped 40 mph and made it impossible to play golf.

Mr McConville said in June 2013 the Department received a call from a farmer in Tipperary that there were cattle grazing on his land that was fenced off for forestry.

Five or six didn’t have any tags. There was one dead animal in a stream said Mr McConville. The cattle were traced back to Gleeson.

“He said that he was coming back from a mart, the truck broke down and he put them into a field,” said Mr McConville.

The judge was told that on two occasions cattle were bought at marts in Munster, registered in the

Mr Herbert described Gleeson as a “cattle jobber” involved in the buy and selling of cattle.

Judge Coughlan asked about his previous convictions to be told he had one relating to an unburied carcass. “He has previous history,” said Judge Coughlan.

Under European Communities (Identification of Bovines) Regulations 2009 there were two counts of movement of an animal from a mart premises without the animal moving directly to its place of destination and one of transfer of ownership breaches.

Under National Beef Assurance Scheme (Animal Movement) Regulations there were two charges of failure to notify the Minister of the movement of an animal to a premises within seven days of the movement taking place.

More than $111,000 in donated campaign cash spent by Canada Proud, one of the largest third-party groups trying to sway voters in the federal election, has flowed into a company owned by one of its founders, Elections Canada filings show. The bulk of Canada Proud's spending, just over $94,000, went towards ads on Facebook and Instagram, which Mobilize purchased on behalf of the group. Mobilize also charged Canada Proud $11,300 in “production costs,” the filings show.

image copyright Reuters image caption Supporters of Mr Demirtas's pro-Kurdish party have been calling for his release

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ordered Turkey to release an opposition politician from prison.

Selahattin Demirtas, of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), came third in this year's presidential elections, contesting it from jail.

The ECHR said his detention had the "ulterior purpose of stifling pluralism and limiting freedom of political debate".

But Turkey's President Erdogan said the ECHR rulings were not binding.

"We will make a counter-move and finish the job," he told the state-funded Anadolu news agency.

Turkey is part of the Council of Europe, in which member states agree to follow rulings of the ECHR.

Mr Demirtas, who has


been detained since November 2016, faces dozens of charges, and prosecutors are seeking up to 142 years in prison if he is found guilty.

His lawyer said he had applied for release following the ECHR ruling.

Who is Selahattin Demirtas?

Mr Demirtas is a former co-chair of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP).

Ethnic Kurds are the biggest minority in Turkey, making up about 15-20% of the population. But it was not until the 2015 elections that the HDP reached the 10% threshold which that it enter parliament – becoming the first pro-Kurdish party to do so.

The HDP's rise was, in part, at the expense of President Erdogan's ruling AKP, which lost its outright majority in that election.

Mr Demirtas, a 45-year-old humanrights lawyer, was widely seen as the charismatic face of the party while it tried to portray itself as a moderate force. It appealed not only to Kurds, but to leftists, environmentalists, and others.

His party also acted as a mediator in ill-fated peace talk between the Turkish government and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is classified as a terrorist group by Turkey and its allies, including Nato.

Mr Demirtas and his fellow HDP party members have long denied any formal connection to the outlawed PKK or other Kurdish armed groups.

What is he accused of?

He was arrested after parliamentary immunity was lifted from selected MPs.

At the time, BBC Turkey correspondent Mark Lowen called it a "major escalation" of the clampdown that began after a failed coup in July 2016.

In


early 2017, Mr Demirtas faced new charges including leadership of an armed terrorist organisation, incitement, and the organisation of unlawful demonstrations.

What did the ECHR finding say?

The ECHR said Mr Demirtas had been arrested on reasonable suspicion of committing a crime.

But it found that Turkey had violated the right to be brought promptly before a judge, the limitation on restricting a person's rights, and the right to free elections.

Judges had extended his detention on grounds that were not sufficiently justified, it added.

"His inability to take part in the activities of the National Assembly.... constituted an unjustified interference with the free expression of the opinion of the people and with his right to be elected and to sit in Parliament," it said in a statement.

It also found, "beyond reasonable doubt",the resulting product of those factors heretofore has been presumed to be the reasonable fee contemplated by section 1988. Blum, 465 U.S. at 897, 104 S.Ct. at 1548.

Winfield Scott

Winfield Scott (1786–1866), “Old Fuss and Feathers,” was the associate of every president from Jefferson to Lincoln. Scott entered the military in 1809 and distinguished himself during the War of 1812 at the battles of Chippewa and Lundy’s Lane. He went on to serve in the Black Hawk War and the campaign against the Seminole and Creole Indians. After mediating an Anglo-American dispute over the Canadian border in 1838, Scott was appointed general-in-chief of the US Army in 1841. Due to his successes in the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), Congress granted Scott the pay, rank, and emoluments of a lieutenant general, a rank not given to any officer since George Washington. In 1852 Scott ran for president on the Whig ticket, but was easily beaten by his Democraticof revenue receipts in 2016-17 (BE) from 41.7 per cent in 2007-08, the quantum of devolutions is clearly inadequate for States to achieve fiscally viable growth.

Fear of voter reprisal has seen successive governments shy away from increasing diesel taxes, as two thirds of cars on French roads use the fuel.

Paris previously raised the idea of banning classic vehicles from the city's roads as a way of reducing levels of pollution.

Such a ban would remove some of France's most iconic vehicles from the capital's streets, and angered classic car fans--whose vehicles make up only three percent of traffic in the city.

And in 2010, Paris trialed a ban of gas-guzzling SUVs, hoping to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas outputs.

One example is the story in Mark 9:14-29 about a father who brought his demon-possessed son to be healed. When the father came to the disciples, Jesus wasn't there. He was with Peter, James, and John and they were on their way back from the mountain where they had seen Jesus transfigured before their eyes. As they approached the other disciples they noticed that a large crowd had gathered, and that the teachers of the law were arguing with them.

When Jesus asked what they were arguing about, the man whose son was demon-possessed came and explained to Him how his son was being tormented by the spirit, and that he had asked the disciples to cast it out, but they hadn't been able to. It's at thisa Wonderful Life." This Frank Capra film with Jimmy Stewart became something of a Christmas tradition for us. And, since it's a tradition, we always watch the black-and-white version. :-)

I first saw the movie on Christmas Eve some 30+ years ago. It's the typical story of a good guy who struggles his entire life, never accomplishes his big dreams, and fails to realize just how wonderful his life has really been. And one of the more typical themes in the movie is the battle that goes on between George Bailey, the hero of the story, played by Jimmy Stewart, and the very wealthy, but warped and frustrated, Mr. Potter, played by Lionel Barrymore.

George works hard his entire life helping people escape the clutches of the evil Mr. Potter.


As Sound Transit begins the next phase of extending light-rail service to Northgate, a retired architecture professor is calling on the agency to build a public plaza above the future U District Station, a stop that will accommodate some 12,000 riders a day.

But transit managers have their eye on a development deal with the University of Washington, which could add housing and retail at the station site — a boon for “transit-oriented development.”

The debate over development of the station is emerging even as politicians on Friday held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the $2.1 billion, 4.3-mile Northgate Link.

The line would open for service in 2021, extending light rail from Husky Stadium to the University District, and then north to the Roosevelt neighborhood before it reaches Northgate.

The U District Stationa bit of a rebound (7-6 and 37th), he also left for Florida State after one year. Former FIU head coach and Taggart assistant Mario Cristobal was tasked with continuing the ascent while working through all the culture and chemistry issues that can arise when a program goes through three head coaches in three seasons.

The first half of 2018 was promising. The Ducks blazed through Bowling Green, Portland State, and SJSU as one is supposed to and got a chance at a statement win, leading No. 7 Stanford 31-21 deep into the fourth quarter. But a heart-breaking fumble gave the Cardinal a chance to tie the game and eventually win in overtime.

Instead of letting that crater their season, however, the Ducks responded. They put up 42 points on


— they are projected to improve by more than 20 spots into the top 20.

Plus, Cristobal just signed maybe the best recruiting class in Oregon history, one capable of bringing immediate extra upside and depth at receiver and throughout the defense.

It appears further improvement is in store in Eugene this fall, but it only matters if Oregon handles success better than it did last October.

By the end of the season’s first month, Herbert was averaging more than 280 yards per game with a 65 percent completion rate and a passer rating over 180. Draft hype was through the roof.

His completion rate was just 57 percent from that point on, though, and his passer rating was a pedestrian 126.3. Horrid performances againstpass attempts came in obvious pass situations.

Mind you, he was pretty good in those situations (Oregon was 19th in blitz downs success rate, 20th in big-play rate). Still, he’s got plenty of room for improvement, which is a scary thing to say considering his obvious upside.

Verdell and Dye combined to average 26 carries per game with a decent 45 percent success rate, but while losses were rare, so were big plays — UO was 45th in rushing marginal efficiency but 107th in rushing marginal explosiveness.

That created a bit of a paradox: Oregon was good at creating manageable third downs (in open play, the Ducks were ninth in average third-down distance and 32nd in third-down success rate) but never moved the chains before third down (125th in percentage of


first downs coming on first or second down).

There’s no reason to think that Verdell and Dye will be any less efficient this time around. They’re no longer freshmen, and they’re going to be running behind one of the most experienced lines in college football. Seven linemen have combined for 153 career starts, including three-year starter and all-conference guard Shane Lemieux.

If a big-play was taking place in 2018, it probably involved Dillon Mitchell. The new Minnesota Viking is about the only departure in the receiving corps, but he could be hard to replace. He was the target on 33 percent of Oregon’s passes, and of the six Oregon players targeted at least 20 times, he and tight end Jacob Breeland were the only ones to average more than 12.6by Steve Concotelli

This vehicle is the original DeLorean Time Machine immortalized on screen in the Back to the Future trilogy. It’s widely considered to be the most famous movie car in the world.

This particular car began its life as a stock DeLorean manufactured in October of 1981. Two years later, in 1983, Universal Studios purchased the car from a private owner, to be converted into Doc Brown’s Time Machine.

The design of the Time Machine was based on drawings by artists Ron Cobb and Andrew Probert. Over the course of 10 weeks, the The Time Machine components were built and assembled by Kevin Pike and his team at Filmtrix. Michael Scheffe served as the Construction Coordinator on the project. He was responsible for acquiring pieces for the vehicle and


to the Future and was used for all the beauty shots in the film, including the iconic shot of the Time Machine rolling out of Doc Brown’s truck. The “A” Car was also used extensively in Back to the Future Part 2 and Part 3. It also appeared on camera for the Huey Lewis “Power of Love” video, as well as Back to the Future the Animated Series and Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy with Kirk Cameron.

After the trilogy, the “A” Car served as a tourist attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. Sometimes, it was displayed in front of Back to the Future: The Ride. Other times, Doc Brown character actors drove the vehicle through the park as they interacted with guests. Through the years, thousandsof fans had their picture taken next to the car, in the car, or sometimes even sitting on the car. When Doc wasn’t using the car, it was often kept on the backlot – unlocked, with the keys in the ignition. There are reports that several fans discovered this fact and made their way onto the Universal backlot. There, they were able to locate the Time Machine, open it up and start it up. To make matters worse, some fans who desired a souvenir went so far as to steal pieces off the car. Over time, many of the most iconic pieces went missing, including Mr. Fusion, the Time Circuits and the Flux Capacitor.

As a movie prop, the Time Machine was built to look good on camera –


was eventually disposed of. This meant that the “A” Car was the only original Time Machine left from the first film – adding to its significance.

As the years passed, the condition of the car deteriorated to the point where the vehicle no longer functioned. At that point, Universal put the car on permanent display along the tram route, along with several other picture cars. A large tarp structure was built to help protect the vehicles from the elements. But by that point, it was too late. Birds, mice and cats had already begun living inside the vehicle.

By 2010, the Time Machine had become a shadow of its former self. With the car no longer running – and many of the Time Machine parts missing, stolen, or broken –the restoration was undertaken with the highest quality, Bob Gale made a historic choice. Instead of hiring a car company or prop house to restore the car, Mr. Gale entrusted the project to a group of Back to the Future super fans. By doing so, the Time Machine became the biggest fan-led prop restoration in movie studio history.

To lead the restoration, Bob Gale hand selected Joe Walser, widely considered one of the best Time Machine builders in the world. Joe Walser had already built two of the most accurate Time Machine replicas in the world – including the one Universal Studios used for all of its high profile marketing and publicity events. Joe and his team of Time Machine experts had one singular goal – restore the car


with 100% accuracy. Every bolt. Every detail. Exactly like it was in the movie. That kicked off an intense, year-long restoration. No item was overlooked as Joe and his team restored and repaired every item on the Time Machine.

To do restoration correctly, the team needed to recover the Time Machine parts that had been removed or stolen from the car. Thanks to a letter from Bob Gale, several fans returned missing pieces, including the original Flux Capacitor and a pair of screen used Time Circuits from Part 3.

Under Joe’s meticulous attention to detail, inaccuracies made during previous studio restorations were corrected. Among them were the vents – which were stripped of their black coloring and repainted accurately. The team made one significant upgrade, however. Joe Walser wanted theoften be found gathered around the car – eagerly snapping photos sharing their favorite Back to the Future moments.

As of November 2018, the restored Time Machine remains on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California.
