"No, no, nothing like that." He reached past her to snag a mug and filled it with coffee though the pot wasn't fully done. He added milk and sugar, lots of sugar. "They actually love me at work. I think I'm, like, their best guy. Tester. You know?"

His mother shook her head slowly, not to what he'd said, but to what she'd seen on the TV. "Kind of person who would do something like that. Savages."

For a moment—but just for a fleeting moment—Bug Man almost connected that word savage to himself. Almost made a link between the horror on the screen and his own actions. But it passed and left no trace.

Representatives of the fledgling “Philippine Republic” were refused participation in the Treaty.

Some time afterwards, to give the impression that the Philippines was being “recognized” by the United States as independent, a mock naval battle was held in Manila Bay.

Prilezhaeva, Mariia Pavlovna

Born June 9 (22), 1903, in Yaroslavl. Soviet Russian writer. Member of the CPSU since 1952.

Prilezhaeva graduated from the pedagogical department of the Second Moscow University in 1929 and became a schoolteacher. Her first novella, This Year (1941), is about schoolchildren. She wrote many books on the life of the young V. I. Lenin, including The Beginning (1957), The Astonishing Year (1967), and Three Weeks of Peace (1967). She also wrote a fictionalized biography of Lenin for children, The Life of Lenin (1970, N. K. Krupskaia State Prize of the RSFSR, 1971).

Other novellas by Prilezhaeva include From the Banks of the Medveditsa (1955) and Under the Northern Sky (1959), about the childhood and youth of M. I. Kalinin. She also wrote a fictionalized journalistictechnology has raged for a couple of years now, 2016 saw the rollout of an actual consumer application from a big bank based on blockchain technology. In June, Santander U.K. announced the introduction of a pilot application that allows users to make international payments by way of blockchain technology.

In their announcement of the application, Santander's Sigga Sigurdardottir claimed that blockchain technology will play a transformational role in the way the bank achieves their goals in the coming years.

The technology used by Santander in their payments application was developed by Ripple , a company in which the fintech venture capital wing of Santander Group has invested.

4: Alphabay Integrates Monero

Some may not think of AlphaBay when trying to come up with some of the most important businesses in the blockchain


industry, but the darknet's largest market was able to put its own stamp on the digital currency space in 2016. Privacy-conscious altcoins are often a topic of conversation when it comes to the darknet markets , and AlphaBay brought this topic to the forefront again with their integration of Monero .

AlphaBay was the second darknet market to implement Monero in 2016, although the other market, Oasis, appears to have run off with their users' money. In recent comments to Bitcoin Magazine , an AlphaBay support representative claimed Monero currently accounts for 2 percent of the market's business. The support representative also claimed that Zcash (another privacy-focused altcoin) integration could make sense in the future.

Although some blockchain enthusiasts are not fans of the darknet markets, the reality is thatthey still play a large enough role in the development of this technology to merit the number-four most widely read business story on Bitcoin Magazine this year, for a top 4 spot on our list.

3: Deutsche Bank Understands Blockchain Technology's Disruptive Potential

The year 2016 is when banks became more serious than ever about blockchain technology, and a statement from Deutsche Bank illustrated this sentiment early in the year. In a statement from February, the bank was quoted as saying , "Banks must partner with fintech and digital currency businesses or risk disappearing altogether."

Deutsche Bank is one of the members of the R3 consortium that has been researching blockchain technology on behalf of the member banks. 2016 also saw the release of Corda , which is a distributed ledger


created by the R3 consortium.

Although Deutsche Bank mentioned digital currencies in their statement, the bank's focus with financial technology has been on creating more convenient banking and payment solutions for their customers.

Deutsche Bank has been working on partnerships with various fintech startups over the course of 2016 in an effort to keep up with disruptive financial technologies.

According to the Gem website, the Gem Health network allows for the creation of global healthcare data standards that do not compromise on privacy and security. Identity schemes andHome

because he'd become so essential, to the team's spirit and success.

And Andersen, as it turned out, was the player Miami needed, someone who could catch and finish at the rim, especially on lob passes from James and Dwyane Wade. That gave Miami the vertical spacing they required. He changed the defensive look too, patrolling the paint and protecting the rim. Mostly, though, he changed the atmosphere. Not long after he signed, the Heat, which has been dragging, was suddenly Harlem Shaking. He brought life to the locker room, which was full of straight-laced guys, all of whom seemed to geniunely love him. He brought a buzz to the arena, and the fans loved him even more.

The true testament to Andersen's impact, though, can be measured this way:

Miami was39-3 in the 42 games in which he played during the 2012-13 season. That included a 27-game winning streak, in which he was one of the core four off the bench, with Shane Battier, Norris Cole and Ray Allen. And, in 2013-14, I had him third on my Sixth Man Award ballot.

He became an inspiration to many, something even he recognized.

This is what he told me after contributing to a Game 2 win in the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals against Indiana, from a story that originally posted on Bleacher Report:

"Oh yeah," Andersen said. "One hundred percent. People always tell me. Everybody ends up going through some tough times in their life. And, you know, to use mine as a pedigree to get back to a positive lifestyle..." He


was looking to move him -- which is why he was rushing to finish painting his condo -- but he was supportive of those who had supplanted him on the floor. Even though, before he became just a "contract," he was a major contributor.

The Grizzlies don't play again in Miami this season.

But if Andersen plays anywhere next season, he'll have earned the cheers he receives whenever he returns to American Airlines Arena.Manchester United should move Herrera on, not offer him a new contract

Herrera joined the Red Devils back in 2014, and has been an integral member of the squad at Old Trafford since then.

The Spaniard’s technical abilities, consistency, and willingness to sacrifice himself for the good of the team, have made him a favourite amongst managers and fans alike.

The 28-year-old is entering the final year of his contract with the club, and the time has come to cash in on Ander Herrera. Rather than seek new terms with the midfielder, Jose Mourinho should sell him on to make room within his midfield contingent for a higher level player.

The Breakdown

For all of Herrera’s qualities, he is not good enough to be the engine of Manchester United’s midfield if they’re to

Jammu, Apr 14 : In order to pay rich tributes to Great Social Reformer and author Mahatama Sant Ram B.A. on his 129th birth anniversary, Prajapati Sabha J&K Jammu held one day conference today at Sant Gora Ji Bhawan BC.Road, Jammu under the Presidentship of Ayodhya Kumar Manawa. In a largely attended function, youth were asked to render their best services for the welfare of the Prajapati Community in particular and others in general. Various speakers addressed the gathering and stressed for unity amongst the community for the betterment and service back to the society from the educated and luminaries of the Prajapati Samaj. On this occasion, adhoc committee of youth of Prajapati community was framed under the leadership of Ajay Kumar,Advocate alongwith ten m-members i.e. Darbari Lal,insurance company at their office in Schaffhausen’s old town. One of them was seriously hurt, though the injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Authorities say Wrousis, a client of health insurer CSS, targeted the agency, although a motive remains unclear.

Two customers were treated for shock after they witnessed the attack and another person was slightly injured during the subsequent police operation. All but one of the five have left the hospital.

In recent weeks, Wrousis was seen several times in forests just south of Schaffhausen. Police found a minivan he was believed to have been driving shortly after the attack and searched the region near the German border with helicopters and sniffer dogs.

On Tuesday they urged people to exercise caution when in the area’s forests as long as the suspect remained


at large. As the manhunt continued, the insurance company said it was keeping its offices in Schaffhausen and five other nearby towns closed for now “in view of yesterday’s attack”.

Police had described Wrousis as potentially dangerous and warned he might be armed.

They also published several photos of the suspect, one of them taken shortly before the attack. It showed a tall, balding man with short brown hair walking along a street in a green jacket carrying a large black bag.- We noted earlier in the week that Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling has partnered with American Ninja Warrior producer A. Smith & Co. Productions for a new series that will create what they call a "revamped wrestling format."

No official details have been announced yet but it was reported that the series would feature international wrestlers from the GFW roster with the production style that A. Smith & Co. uses on shows such as NBC's Spartan Race and FOX's Hell's Kitchen.

In an exclusive update, the plan is for the show to be a 13-week series. Right now they are looking at doing one new 13-week series every year but obviously something like that would depend on how successful the first series is. They are also looking at eventually


When Professional and Personal Lives Collide

Spurred by technological innovation that is causing even the most sacred private activities to potentially be blown into the spotlight, the once-rigid line between the personal and professional lives of workers is becoming increasingly blurred.

While it may be easy to comprehend how the indiscretions of Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino and Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) CEO Brian Dunn led to their abrupt, high-profile departures this week, some observers are concerned that companies, already teetering on the line, are starting to cross it.

Scandal has long enveloped people in high-profile positions, from former President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky in 1995, to ex-Boeing (NYSE:BA) chief executive Harry Stonecipher in 2005 and former Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) chief Mark Hurd in 2010, who both resigned followingRichard Ojeda’s passionate speeches on the floor of the West Virginia statehouse helped push the state’s teachers to strike for the first time in more than 20 years. His next challenge is to persuade the Trump-loving voters of his district to send him to Congress as a Democrat.

Ojeda, an Army veteran and state senator from Logan, West Virginia, sports a buzz cut, military boots, and more than 30 tattoos. He skyrocketed to national fame after a series of speeches in the West Virginia statehouse, excoriating Republican lawmakers for denying the state’s teachers a raise.

Ojeda referred to the “s-word” — strike — in his speeches, and West Virginia teachers did exactly that. Teachers from all of the state’s 55 counties walked out of their classrooms and went to the

Gametocyte production by cloned lines of Plasmodium falciparum and their parental isolates has been studied in culture over periods of several months. Many isolates differed significantly from each other in their capacity for gametocyte production. Clones derived from an individual isolate were also widely different in capacity for gametocyte production. Consistent differences in gametocyte production were observed between clones which had always been grown concurrently and thus had identical culture histories. Levels of gametocytogenesis characteristic of individual clones, although subject to transient fluctuations under environmental influence, were stable over several months.


Federal prosecutors announced on Wednesday that they agreed not to go after American Media Inc., the parent company that owns the "National Enquirer" tabloid, in part in return for the company's public acknowledgment of having paid $150,000 to a woman for the story of her affair with Donald Trump in order to prevent it from hurting his presidential campaign.

"The Office also announced today that it has previously reached a non-prosecution agreement with AMI, in connection with AMI’s role in making the above-described $150,000 payment before the 2016 presidential election. As a part of the agreement, AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before theto its employees and conducting annual training concerning these standards."

David J. Pecker, the publisher of the supermarket tabloid, has been a close friend of Trump's since the 1990s. Over the years Pecker made a point of capitalizing on his closeness with Trump in order to sell newspapers. Starting in 2010, he began running articles that encouraged Trump to run for president and depicted him as a potentially positive force for America, a practice AMI previously denied.

The Enquirer also encouraged people to visit a website co-created by Michael Cohen himself back when he was still Trump's right-hand man, and when Trump began promoting the birther conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama, the Enquirer began pushing the racist hoax as well.

Bolivian politicians have approved a bill to allow trans people to change their name and gender on official documents.

The Chamber of Deputies approved the bill which will forever change the legal standing of trans people in the South American country.

The Gender Identity bill still needs to be approved by the Senate before being signed into law by President Evo Moralas.

It has been a long awaited process, with the bill first being proposed in 2012 by the national coordinator of the Bolivian trans movement. Raysa Torriani.

It was backed by Bolivia’s Deputy Justice Minister Diego Jimenez who said Bolivia’s constitution prohibits all forms of discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation.

Trans people will still need to apply to the Ministry of Justice for a psychological examination prior to legally changingwww.WHEC.com

UPDATE: Canandaigua man dies from injuries caused by Hopewell crash

A 62-year-old Canandaigua man has died from injuries suffered when he and his vehicle caught fire in the Town of Hopewell. Sheriff's deputies tell News10NBC Thomas Devine died at Strong Memorial Hospital around 10:30 Monday night.

The crash happened early Monday morning on Routes 5 and 20. Sheriff’s deputies tell News10NBC Devine was driving westbound when for some reason he went off the road. His car slammed into a mailbox, went down an embankment, hit some trees and then that car caught fire. Other drivers on the road stopped and told deputies the man was outside the burning car and he too was on fire. Rescuers quickly arrived and put out the


in the county jail of Burleigh County, to be served upon the expiration of the sentence he is presently serving at the State Penitentiary. The charge of possession of marijuana arose after a search of his person at the State Penitentiary disclosed the presence of marijuana in his sock. Although the defendant denied the possession, the court gave credence to the testimony of the Assistant Warden and a guard at the Penitentiary who were present when the search was made and the marijuana found.
The defendant states three issues for review in this case, as follows:
"I.
"In a trial for possession of marijuana, the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the substance involved is, in fact, Cannabis sativa L. is upon the State.
"II.
"The trial court erred in receivingtestimony of a state chemist as to the botanical identification of Cannabis when that chemist was not established as an expert in botany.
"III.
"The State must prove that plant material is Cannabis sativa L., and not merely Cannabis, to support a conviction of possession of marijuana under North Dakota statutes."
These issues are based entirely upon the direct and cross-examination of one witness, Kim Wehner, a chemist at the State Laboratories Department, who analyzed the plant material taken from the sock of the defendant. He performed a microscopic examination, a thin-layer chromatographic analysis, and a chemical color test. He testified that the substance he analyzed was Cannabis sativa, commonly referred to as marijuana. As to his qualifications, he testified that he has a bachelor's degree in chemistry, that he had

Murphy and Senate President Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, pushed back at the argument against the state telling cities and counties what to do. Both noted that states retain rights not given to the federal government through the U.S. Constitution, while under the state constitution, cities and counties are subdivisions of the state.

Covepoint’s Sankaran sees China creating common Asian currency

By

AlistairBarr

LAS VEGAS (MarketWatch) — A collapse of the banking system, the demise of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency, another oil shock, a new round of junk-bond defaults and a meltdown in Japan’s bond market were among the doomsday scenarios explored by hedge-fund managers at a conference in Las Vegas Thursday.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, many hedge funds have added trades that could protect against losses from big, unexpected events — now known as black swans, a term coined by investor Nassim Taleb.

Sinnott expects another oil shock, like the one that plunged the U.S. economy into recession during the 1970s. During that period, energy costs went from 8% of U.S. gross domestic product to about 15%, “and


sexual activity is very real, and his body, heedless of the pragmatic difficulties of achieving successful coitus, is as relentless in its demands for a constant supply of ejaculatory orgasm as it is in its expectation of food and sleep.

According to reports, tonight's experience promises to be particularly special. Carefully studying this month's HBO guide, Royce has noted that this evening's 3 a.m. movie promises "N, SSC," or Nudity and Strong Sexual Content. The film, the critically acclaimed Atlantic City, features Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon briefly rubbing lemon juice on her nude breasts.

Said Royce, "Oh, man!"

At approximately 10 p.m., Royce, having noticed nothing but the female form during the two hours spent watching television with his family, will make an excuse to retire to bed, claiming he"has a big day ahead of him tomorrow." At 2:45 a.m., unbeknownst to his parents, his alarm will go off, beckoning him to the television to experience as-yet-undreamed-of heights of physical pleasure within Sarandon's video-pixillated bosom.

After carefully covering himself with a blanket, Royce will firmly clasp his rigid penile member and indulge in self-manipulation of a rhythmic, steady nature. The combination of physical and visual stimuli will fool his autonomic nervous system into thinking that actual sex is taking place, enabling Royce to jettison seminal fluids from his body, or "spill."

Though experts say it is possible and often greatly satisfying to extend this form of gratification by postponing orgasm, Royce's inexperience and deep-seated sense of shame will no doubt preclude this.

a new group of 15 to 20 teenage girls every 45 minutes, and the four-minute between-class locker break offers him hallway after hallway of an ever-changing, constant display of nubile young womanhood, clad in the latest eye-catching fashions.

Worst of all, Royce's after-school cross-country team, which he joined in hopes of working off some of his sexual longings, has turned out to be co-ed, and the sight of fit, sweaty female classmates in skin-tight, breast- and buttock-hugging Spandex and Lycra is a daily routine for the turgid lad.

"The realization that cross country was co-ed surely brought Jeremy simultaneous fear and joy," said Harvard sociologist Marvin Haller, highlighting the schizophrenic nature of Royce's desire/denial state. "Lisa MacAnaugh's flexing butt cheeks, pumping like pistons under her tights, may be his friend,but they are also his great foe."

Though he hopes to find respite in Sarandon's twin mammarian flesh-globes, Royce's truest fantasies are closer to home.

When she wears a short skirt, sometimes I can even, just barely, glimpse a tiny triangular section of what my friend's sister's cousin told my friend is Hanes Her Way girls' cotton briefs. And when she's concentrating, like when we do word problems involving sine curves, she bites on the tip of her pencil eraser ever so lightly, and, oh God, oh God."

attorney who helped oversee the civil rights division for the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011, said a federal probe into potentially systemic problems within a police force would consider hiring practices as one of several factors.

“They would look at whether they are properly screening people that they are considering to hire,” said Bagenstos, now a professor of law at the University of Michigan.

The most recent civil rights lawsuit naming Ferguson police officers was filed days after Brown was shot and involves a September 2011 incident.

According to the lawsuit, officers encountered a dazed-looking man walking from behind a building in a residential area. Officer Brian Kaminski ordered 31-year-old Jason Moore to put his hands up and walk toward him, according to the suit, which then alleges that KaminskiThe officers are white.

The other two officers — John Beaird and Kim Tihen, who is now on the City Council — testified that Davis initiated the fight. Davis testified that he asked for a mat to sleep on in the jail cell, a request he said was denied. When he protested, he said, the officers started to hit him, then handcuffed him. White, Davis said, kicked him in the head. Medical records show he suffered a concussion.

The judge said that Davis, who was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence and other violations, suffered injuries but that they were “de minimis” — too minor to warrant a finding of excessive force, records show. The case is being appealed.

Davis’s attorney, James W. Schottel Jr., said he believes his client


lawsuit claims. The officers and the boy are white.

When asked about the accusations, Cosma’s attorney, Jason Retter, said he does not comment on pending cases.

Cosma was one of the officers who arrested reporters, including a Washington Post journalist, covering the protests in Ferguson over the killing of Michael Brown.

In the Jefferson County incident, Cosma filed a report that the 12-year-old assaulted him and his partner and was “resisting/

interfering with arrest, detention or stop.” The local prosecutor refused to bring charges against the juvenile.

“They were talking to him and the next thing that happens is they are restraining him,” said the attorney for the boy’s family, Richard Lozano. “Because he was shirtless, he was grabbed around the neck. He had choke marks.

Some walk it and others take comfort in knowing the last miles will be easier, with the course descending into a natural amphitheater at Telemark Resort stocked with cold beer, food and music. The slowest riders will need about six and a half hours to finish.

“The record time is a couple of clicks over two hours,” said Crandall.

Skiers, bikers flock to trails

The Fat Tire Festival helped popularize the Cable, Wis., area as a year-round destination for silent sports. The bike race grew to prominence by piggybacking on the international success of the famed American Birkebeiner 51K Nordic ski race while fueling additional interest in mountain biking through the local forests.

The ChequamegonArea Mountain Bike Association (CAMBA), which formed 22 years ago, helps bikers navigate more than 300 miles of trails, from forest roads and double tracks to almost 90 miles of single-track trails specifically engineered for mountain bikers who seek adrenaline-pumping features and challenges.

Trails are mapped into six clusters anchored by the towns of Hayward, Cable, Drummond, Delta, Seeley and Namakagon, with most clusters offering 40 to 100 miles of riding. Now a national audience of mountain bikers is noticing the area, with the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) recently dubbing the Rock Lake Area trails in the Namakagon cluster among its “Epic” rides. Last year the Chequamegon area was even given the prestigious designation of official IMBA Ride Center.

In typical fashion, the Red Sox took plenty of pitches and got the Cardinals' bullpen into the game for the last three frames, but that strategy worked a lot better against the vulnerable 'pen in Detroit.

St. Louis' relief corps is a lethal one.

Carlos Martinez (one earned run in his last six appearances) pitched two scoreless innings to preserve a two-run lead, and Trevor Rosenthal (no runs and nine strikeouts in seven playoff innings) followed with a breezy, 1-2-3 ninth.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT No. 10–545. Argued October 5, 2011—Decided January 18, 2012

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne), which took effect in 1886, is the principal accord governing international copyright relations.Berne’s 164 member states agree to provide a minimum level of copyright protection and to treat authors from other member countries as well as they treat their own. Of central importance in this case, Article 18 of Berne requires countries to protect the works of other member states unless the works’ copyright term has expired in either the country where protection is claimed or the country of origin. A different system of transnational copyright protection long prevailed in this country. Throughout most of the 20th century, the only foreign authors eligible for Copyright Act protection were those whose countries granted reciprocal rights to American authors and whose works were printed in the United States. Despite Article 18, when the United States joined Berne in 1989, it did not


protect any foreign works lodged in the U. S. public domain, many of them works never protected here. In 1994, however, the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights mandated implementation of Berne’s first 21 articles, on pain of enforcement by the World Trade Organization. In response, Congress applied the term of protection available to U. S. works to preexisting works from Berne member countries. Section 514 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) grants copyright protection to works protected in their country of origin, but lacking protection in the United States for any of three reasons: The United States did not protect works from the country of origin at the time of publication; the United States did not protect sound recordings fixed before 1972; or theof the case.

C. 20543, of any typographical or other formal errors, in order that corrections may be made before the preliminary print goes to press.

JUSTICE GINSBURG delivered the opinion of the Court. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne Convention or Berne), which took effect in 1886, is the principal accord governing international copyright relations. Latecomer to the international copyright regime launched by Berne, the United States joined the Convention in 1989. To perfect U. S. implementation


of Berne, and as part of our response to the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, Congress, in 1994, gave works enjoying copyright protection abroad the same full term of protection available to U. S. works. Congress did so in §514 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), which grants copyright protection to preexisting works of Berne member countries, protected in their country of origin, but lacking protection in the United States for any of three reasons: The United States did not protect works from the country of origin at the time of publication; the United States did not protect sound recordings fixed before 1972; or the author had failed to comply with U. S. statutory formalities (formalities Congress no longer requires as prerequisites to copyright protection). Theinto force, have not yet fallen into the public domain in the country of origin through the expiry of the term of protection. “(2) If, however, through the expiry of the term of protection which was previously granted, a work has fallen into the public domain of the country where protection is claimed, that work shall not be protected anew. “(3) The application of this principle shall be subject to any provisions contained in special conventions to that effect existing or to be concluded between countries of the Union. In the absence of such provisions, the respective countries shall determine, each in so far as it is concerned, the conditions of application of this principle. “(4) The preceding provisions shall also apply in the case of new accessions

works that have already been created and already are in the American public domain. At the same time, the stat ute inhibits the dissemination of those works, foreign works published abroad after 1923, of which there are many millions, including films, works of art, innumerable photographs, and, of course, books—books that (in the absence of the statute) would assume their rightful places in computer-accessible databases, spreading knowledge throughout the world. See infra, at 10–13. In my view, the Copyright Clause does not authorize Congress to enact this statute. And I consequently dissent. I The possibility of eliciting new production is, and always has been, an essential precondition for American copyright protection. The Constitution’sserve the public interest. Patter son 15–16, 153, 158–179; Deazley, supra, at 114–126. Many early colonial copyright statutes, patterned after the Statute of Anne, also stated that copyright’s objective was to encourage authors to produce new works and thereby improve learning. See U. S. Copyright Office, Copyright Enactments, Bulletin No. 3, pp. 1, 6, 10, 11, 17, 19 (rev. 1963) (statutes of Connecticut, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, and New York); Wal terscheid 74–75; Bracha, The Adventures of the Statute of Anne in the Land of Unlimited Possibilities: The Life of a Legal Transplant, 25 Berkeley Tech.

years). It has less impact on more recent works because in 1989 the United States became a Berne member, abolished the copyright notice requirement, and thenceforth provided prospective copyright protection throughout the Berne Union. See R. Schechter & J. Thomas, Intellectual Prop erty: The Law of Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks 75– 77 (2003); §7, 102 Stat. 2857–2858 (codified as amended at 17 U. S. C. §§401–406). Despite these temporal limitations, the Act covers vast numbers of works. The first category includes works published in countries that had copyright relations with the United States during this time period, such as most of Western Europe and Latin America, Australia, and Japan, see Circular No. 38A, supra, at 2–10, whose authors did not satisfy American copyright formalities, perhaps be cause theauthor, who may not have sought an American copyright, published the book abroad without proper American notice, or perhaps because the author obtained a valid American copyright but failed to renew it.

The Grove

This organic grove is just outside Alcamo, on the Trapanese coast of Sicily. It used to be owned by the once powerful Baron Pastore, a prominent figure of the Sicilian 19th century political scene. His adjacent estate has fallen into disrepair but his trees, now in their 80s, are flourishing. The grove has views of the Tyrrhenian Sea to the north and the Zingaro Natural Reserve to the west.

The Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The trees grow olive variety Cerasuola, which produce an oil that is high in polyphenols with a gold-green colour, amedium fruity profile, with the taste of just-cut grass, artichokes and tomatoes.

Meet Toby

Toby has always had a love for the outdoors and Italian foods, from a young age relishing pasta, pesto, lemons, olives and olive oil. He is 24 and has autism, and not only is olive farming his natural calling but it has also really improved his life, being able to spend his time outdoors and in such a supportive community. His love of everything olives shines through in the grove and the olive oil they produce.

The Grove

This is an organically farmed grove, located in the beautiful Val di Noto in south eastern Sicily. The land around the grove originally belongednicknamed Ciccino, who owns the grove, and the olive trees which were planted 20 years ago and have flourished in the Sicilian sun and Guglielmo's tending. Francesco is actually the uncle of Agnese over at Nonno Tato grove, whichhelps us understand where the name Zio Ciccino comes from: 'Uncle Ciccino'.

The Olive oil

The oil from Zio Ciccino is a lovely golden green with a delicate flavour of whiffs of fresh cut grass and a distinctive artichoke taste. The tree varieties are Moresca and Cerasuola.

On the afternoon of July 23, 1996, sixteen-year-old Bobby Blackwell had an argument with appellant Ford near a basketball court on 50th Street, N.E. Blackwell left and returned several times, each time threatening to kill Ford (and others),[1] but eventually Blackwell left and did not return. About fifteen minutes later, Ford's cousin and co-defendant, Donyee Bradley, arrived on the scene. He asked Ford how he could let Blackwell threaten him like that and do nothing about it, but Ford did not respond. Ford and Bradley then went to visit a friend, Delonte Floyd, who lived in a nearby apartment building. After about ten or fifteen minutes, the two of them came out of the building, got into Floyd's Cadillac, and drove off.
A few


blocks away, Blackwell and another young man, Charles Dorsey, were riding in Blackwell's car, a red Chrysler. They had stopped to pick up Blackwell's girl friend when Ford and Bradley pulled up alongside the Chrysler. Ford thrust his hand out the right front window of the Cadillac and fired two shots, killing Blackwell and wounding Dorsey in the leg. The Cadillac then drove away up 51st Street.
Several witnesses testified to these events in the course of an eight-day trial. Ford claimed that he had fired the shots in self-defense.
The jury retired to deliberate at 11:35 a.m. on Friday, October 3, 1997. After the luncheon recess, Bradley's attorney requested that the aiding and abetting instruction be reread in order to clarify a point that might have confused the jury.Alito's blank check for cops.

Shoot To Kill

Alito's blank check for cops.

Late on an October night in 1974, Memphis, Tenn., police officer Elton Hymon responded to a call about a break in. At the scene, a neighbor said she'd heard glass shattering and pointed to the house next door. Hymon went behind it. He heard a door slam. Someone ran into the yard and stopped at a 6-foot-high chain-link fence at the yard's edge. Hymon shined his flashlight at the person and saw a teenager who he could tell was unarmed. Hymon called, "Police, halt." The teen started climbing the fence. Hymon shot him in the back of the head, fatally. Edward Garner was a 15-year-old black eighth grader. He was 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about


110 pounds. A purse and $10 were found on his body.

After Edward Garner's death, his father sued, arguing that his son's civil rights had been violated. The 6th Circuit, one of the federal courts of appeal, agreed, ruling that Garner's shooting violated the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable seizures. In the process, the court struck down a Tennessee statute based on an 18th-century common-law "fleeing felon" rule, which allowed police to use deadly force against a felony suspect who was trying to elude arrest. In the Garner case, the 6th Circuit said that before shooting a suspect, a police offer must have probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a danger.

In 1984, the Memphis Police Department and the state of Tennessee appealed the 6th Circuit's decision tothe Supreme Court. Samuel Alito, then a lawyer in the Solicitor General's office, was assigned to help decide whether the Reagan administration should take sides. "I believe that the decision below is wrong," Alito wrote in a cover note, referring to the 6th Circuit's ruling. In a 15-page memo, he argued in favor of letting states give police the power to shoot to kill at their discretion whenever a suspect flees, whether or not he poses a threat. Alito's memo is written with his usual dispassion. But he's forceful in his belief that the Constitution has no role to play in a cop's decision about whether to shoot an unarmed suspect. Alito's memo is also striking for what it doesn't say. In Memphis and across the country, cops


were shooting black suspects at a far higher rate than white ones. (The evidence, beginning with studies dating from the 1960s, is collected in a 2004 article in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science by Northwestern political science professor Wesley G. Skogan and University of Chicago law professor Tracey L. Meares.) Laws like Tennessee's made it easier for the police to shoot unarmed black people, as Edward Garner's father argued in his suit. Alito, however, ignored the racial undertones of the case.

"Was the shooting reasonable?" Alito asked. His answer was yes. "Many of the facts recited by the court of appeals"—like Garner's youth and minor crime—"seem essentially irrelevant." To Alito, the case came down to this: If Officer Hymon shot, "there was thethe doorstep of an apartment that the cops had come to raid? Can the police frisk a 10-year-old girl who is nowhere mentioned in their warrant? Yes and yes. In one opinion after the next, Alito looks at search-and-seizure cases like a former prosecutor, which he is.

Does it matter that in many of these cases, the people getting the back of the hand from the cops are poor and black? Garner's father argued that the Memphis Police Department's policy toward fleeing felons violated the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. Between 1969 and 1976, the Memphis police shot and killed eight white suspects and 16 black ones. Only one of the white suspects was neither armed nor assaulting a police officer. Thirteen of the black suspects were. The

Kenneth Allison Roberts (November 1, 1912 – May 9, 1989) was a U.S. Representative from Alabama.

Biography
Born in Piedmont, Alabama, Roberts attended the public schools and Howard College, Birmingham, Alabama. He was graduated from the University of Alabama Law School in 1935 and admitted to the bar in 1936. He practiced law in Anniston, Alabama (1936) and in Talladega (1937–1942).

Roberts was elected to the Alabama State Senate in 1942 and resigned the same year to enter the United States Navy. He served in both Atlantic and Pacific Theaters until discharged as a lieutenant in 1945. He was president of Piedmont Development Co. from 1945 to 1950. From 1948 to 1950 he served as member of Alabama State Board of Veterans Affairs and city attorney of Piedmont, Alabama.

Maternal occupation in agriculture and risk of limb defects in Washington State, 1980-1993.
This study examined the association between maternal occupational exposure to agricultural chemicals and the risk of limb defects among offspring. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Washington State birth records for the years 1980 through 1993. The exposed group, consisting of 4466 births to mothers employed in agriculture, was compared with 2 reference groups: (i) 23,512 births in which neither parent worked in agriculture ("nonagricultural" group) and (ii) 5994 births in which only the father worked in agriculture ("paternal agriculture" group). The outcome of interest was limb defects [syndactyly, polydactyly, adactyly, and "other limb reductions" (as listed in the birth record)]. An elevated risk of limb defects was observed for the exposed group in comparisonConservatives were the only party that could push through Brexit.

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, told broadcasters that Labour expected to confound the polls as it did in the 2017 election, and warned that Swinson’s Lib Dems could go into coalition with the Conservatives.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that Brexit rebel Dominic Grieve considered joining the Lib Dems to run as one of their candidates. It is understood the former attorney general and remain campaigner had talks with Lib Dem party officials where it was decided it would be better to run as an independent Conservative instead.

A Lib Dem party source said they would have been happy to have him on board but he did not ultimately make the leap.

Microsoft today launched Lync 2010, the next generation of Office Communications Server (OCS). Unlike OCS, Lync manages various forms of communication from one UI: instant messages, voice calls, video calls, meetings, and shared whiteboard sessions. Lync also includes enterprise voice capabilities to reduce legacy infrastructure costs.

Microsoft Lync works with applications in three other Microsoft families: Office, SharePoint, and Exchange. Lync succeeds both OCS 2007, released in November 2007, and OCS 2007 R2, released in February 2009.

Microsoft Lync 2010 and Microsoft Lync Server 2010 will be available for purchase on December 1, 2010. Lync Online, which includes instant messaging, presence, audio and video conferencing, and PC-to-PC voice calls, will come as part of Office 365, with voice capabilities slated to arrive in 2011.

Diagnostic and therapeutic problems of Sneddon's syndrome are reviewed on the basis of the observation of a pregnant 36-year-old female. She had had Hodgkin's disease stage I, curatively treated when she was 23 years old. She developed cerebral ischemic events, initially ascribed to isolated cerebral angiitis, associated with progressive dermatological lesions (generalised livedo racemosa). A temporal artery biopsy did not reveal giant cell angiitis, while the cutaneous arterioles in a biopsy showed marked intimal proliferation without inflammatory cell infiltration. The literature on Sneddon's syndrome is reviewed.


Red Lake Reservation, have lived on the Reservation for most of their lives and were employed there during the years in question. However, from 1979 to 1988, the Bruns owned and often occupied a home located off the Reservation in Bemidji. The record before us unequivocally demonstrates that the Bemidji home was purchased in July 1979; that the Bruns lived in the home from July 1979 to August 1980, from August 1981 to October 1982 and sporadically during the period from 1986 to 1988. While the Bruns have maintained that their primary residence was on the Reservation, they have conceded that they spent a percentage of their time in the Bemidji home during most of the period in question. The record discloses that for most of the periodwere found at a homeless shelter in Plymouth, N.H., several days after Haynes' body was discovered decomposing in her Worcester apartment in July 2009. He said there was no evidence tying Corey to the killing.

Corey has pleaded not guilty. Her boyfriend was not charged, and prosecutors say she lied to him about being pregnant and giving birth. The girl, now 4, lives with her father.

Prosecutor Daniel Bennett said evidence will show that Haynes, 23, was a slow, simple person looking for a friend. She and Corey went to the same clinic for prenatal care, but Corey missed her appointments, and prosecutors say that in April 2009 she had a miscarriage but pretended she was still pregnant.

The night Haynes was killed, Corey called her boyfriend and said her water


had broken and she was heading to the hospital. She called later and said she'd had a daughter, but her boyfriend noticed the baby looked odd and bloody, her umbilical cord tied with string. In the days that followed, Haynes' body was rotting in her apartment while Corey showed off the baby to friends at a barbecue and other events, asking whether the girl looked more like her or her boyfriend.

"Darlene Haynes was in her apartment on those hot July days, decomposing," Bennett said, "her flesh wearing off her body to such an extent that she wasn't even recognizable."

Prosecutors say Corey and her boyfriend took the baby to New Hampshire for the promise of a job, but they ended up in the homeless shelter where authorities caught upDonald McNeill Fairfax

Donald MacNeil Fairfax (March 10, 1818 – January 10, 1894) was an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War.

Early life and family
The son of George William Fairfax, and Isabella McNeill, grandson of Ferdinando Fairfax, and great-grandson of Bryan Fairfax, he was born at the family seat of Mount Eagle, Virginia. Fairfax entered the Navy as a midshipman on August 12, 1837.  He was the only member of the family who took the Union side in the American Civil War.

The Trent Affair
As executive officer in , he was a participant in the 1861 "Trent Affair," a diplomatic controversy involving the U.S. Navy's removal of Confederate commissioners from the British mail-steamer, . On November 8, 1861, Fairfax boarded Trent to remove Confederate commissioners


are shrinking assets to bolster capital and improve their chances of weathering the current storm. Once again, Minsky understood this dynamic. He spoke of the paradox of deleveraging, in which precautions that may be smart for individuals and firms—and indeed essential to return the economy to a normal state—nevertheless magnify the distress of the economy as a whole."

Criticisms
Within mainstream economics, non-Keynesian economists, particularly neoclassical economists, criticize this theory on three principal grounds.

The first criticism is that, following Say's law and the related circle of ideas, if demand slackens, prices will fall (barring government intervention), and the resulting lower price will stimulate demand (though at lower profit or cost – possibly even lower wages). This criticism in turn has been questioned by New Keynesian economists, who reject Say's lawSci Fi TV News Briefs: Quick hits keeping you updated on sci fi and fantasy television news.

Final Season Announcement: Word broke this week that ABC’s Agents of SHIELD will be ending after its seventh year. The show is currently airing its sixth season and received a renewal announcement just before that began. The news does not come as a huge surprise as this has been a perennially low-rated show for several years now, though it is also a fan-favorite that does well in delayed viewing. Marvel television apparently wanted to wrap up the show after its fifth season, but ABC decided to keep it around for two more season. There are no other Marvel shows on the schedule for the upcoming season, but the network will almost certainly


get something in development for the 2020-21 season.

The Return of Picard: In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Alex Kurtzman and Michael Chabon revealed some more details about the upcoming Star Trek: Picard series. The character will be older (obviously) and no longer part of Starfleet, and he will be trying to “fight an injustice” (no specifics on what exactly). The series will not use the more traditional Star Trek episodic format, but will instead be serialized. And characters from TNG could make an appearance on the show. There will be Comic-Con panel for the show on Saturday, so expect more news to come from that.

Warhammer Time: A television series based on the Warhammer 40,000 game is in the works with The Man in the High Castle creator FrankSpotnitz attached. The series will be titled Eisenhorn and The Hollywood Reporter give the following description for the project:

The series will be set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where mankind teeters on the brink of annihilation. While humanity’s armies wage unending war across a million battlefields, in the darkness, a secret conflict rages, fought by the agents of the Imperial Inquisition. Drawing from sci-fi, fantasy and crime genres, Eisenhorn will see Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and his band of investigators fight to thwart the monstrous schemes of aliens, heretics and demons before mankind’s doom is sealed.

Spotnitz will be showrunner and executive producer on the series and it will be based on the books by Dan Abnett. No network is currently attached, but this project should attract plenty of attention.

Apple's first computer was introduced in the late 1970s. Apple still does most of its product and research development in the United States, with US-educated engineers and computer scientists. Google's business is based on the Internet, which started as ARPANET, the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency computer network from the 1960s. The National Science Foundation funded the Digital Library Initiative research at Stanford University that was adopted as the Google model. Microsoft was started by our richest American, Bill Gates, whose success derived at least in part by taking the work of competitors and adapting it as his own.

2. They Don't Pay Their Required Taxes

Apple got its tax bill down to 9.8 percent in 2011. The company paid a combined US/foreign tax rate of


15.3 percent in 2008-12, which comes to $25 billion in avoided taxes over that time. It uses tax schemes like the "Double Irish" to find tax havens for its profits, two-thirds of which remain untaxed overseas. According to the New Yorker, one of Apple's Irish subsidiaries (Apple Operations International) made thirty billion dollars in profits from 2009 to 2012 but paid ZERO corporate income tax.

The long-time Cupertino, California resident also avoids state taxes by claiming residence in tax-free Nevada. And while doing everything possible to avoid taxes, Apple is engaging in a massive stock buyback, which has the effect of enriching executives rather than investing in jobs or new technologies.

Google, like Apple, is a master of the Double Irish revenue shift to Bermuda tax havens, while using taxthe job creation they're doing."

Apple claims to have added 500,000 jobs to the U.S. economy, but it only has 43,000 U.S. employees. It is estimated that the company makes $400,000 profit per employee while paying an average of $12 per hour for its store workers.

And those are U.S. workers. Embarrassment turns to shame with a visit to the exploitative Foxconn factory in China.

In the U.S., more than half of college graduates were jobless or underemployed in 2011. Over the last 12 years, according to a New York Times report, the United States has gone from having the highest share of employed 25- to 34-year-olds among large, wealthy economies to having among the lowest.

of the Washington Examiner: "The good news is that information technology provides the iPod/Facebook generation with the means to find work and create careers that build on their own personal talents and interests...creating your own career will produce a stronger sense of satisfaction and fulfillment."

Create your own job? No, it doesn't work that way. Most young people are productive and reliable workers who perform best in the employment of an organization that has set up a process to utilize their skills. In his book Who Owns the Future?, Jaron Lanier gives us an example of technology's opposite direction:

At the height of its power, the photography company Kodak employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion. They even invented the first digital camera. But today Kodak isand they are joined by superintendents from other large districts around the state pleading for help. The situation is exacerbated by a skewed, arcane spending formula that favors rural counties over urban counties, with Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough ranking in the bottom 10 of 67 counties in overall increases for per student spending. Miami-Dade superintendent Alberto Carvalho, whose district ranks 65th, correctly calls this historic budget "historically disappointing.''

Floridians should not have to choose between keeping students safe and providing them with a first-rate education in decent facilities. Yet legislators made that Hobson's choice, and they didn't even do it well. They gave school districts an unfunded mandate on school safety. They required an armed law enforcement officer to be in every school but did not provide enough money


somebody for using "Yankee" as an insult, he would've been the ultimate American. What, he did that? Never mind then.

Then there was his record during the revolution. He planned and led the famous siege of Fort Ticonderoga. Somewhere around here his wife died, but he soldiered on, masterminding the strategic invasion of Quebec, where he held position for weeks despite being cut off from the rest of the army and shot in the leg. He held back the British at Lake Champlain, he was instrumental in the Danbury raid, he was essential to the success of the Battle of Saratoga. If he fell off a bridge and died at this point, there would be a 50-foot tall statue of him in Connecticut, made of platinum and diamonds.

The armymust have loved this guy, right? Surely by this stage he was being carried everywhere by a living throne of nubile young women. Wait, instead they repeatedly passed him over for promotion with younger, less experienced men? And other officers tried to take credit for his achievements? And he was investigated by congress on baseless accusations of corruption?

Basically, after all his bravery, sacrifice and bullet holes, America seemed to develop a great passion for kicking Arnold in the gut. It didn't help that at the same time they were creating an alliance with France, the bad guys from Arnold's teenage war adventures. Under those conditions, it's understandable that he'd quit the team.

People may have had more respect for him if, rather than being sneaky about it, he'd yelled


"**** you all, I'm with England now" as he rode off giving everyone the rudest gesture of the times. It's the betrayal that irks people. But hey, America, you started it.

I don't see anything wrong with celebrating Robert E. Lee. He's one of the greatest military figures in history. He's evil because he commanded the Confederate armies? That's childish perception. He went with Virginia because that was his home...that's pretty much the only reason he was part of the CSA.

You can call him a traitor, but he'd be more of a traitor to his home if he'd stayed with the Union.

He didn't even have anything to do with slavery... He was vehemently against it. People are ******* dumb.

Comment

That's a bit of a stretch, tbh. Lee was a greatgeneral and is considered a war hero. It's not like Lee was solely responsible for the confederate secessionist movement and should be villianized for his involvement.

Not that I have much faith that states like Alabama and Arkansas would clebrate MLK Day, mind you. Hell, Alabama had legislation on the books until 2006 (iirc) that criminalized inter-racial marriage.

Also worth noting - Georgia & Mississippi also do this and Florida recognizes Lee's birtday, too.

The law, which hadn't been enforced for decades, was repealed in 2000. Alabama was the last state to have an inter-racial marriage ban law.

As for Florida, there is a Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville (66% black student body). They also have a high school named after Nathan B. Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the

One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makesLiverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is said to be plotting a raid for exciting Ajax starlets Joel Veltman and Davy Klassen at the end of the season.

The Reds manager is already drawing up a shortlist of fresh young talent that he wants to bring to Anfield this summer, and CaughtOffside understands that he has placed the two Ajax youngsters at the top of his shopping list.

Veltman has already been attracting interest from the Premier League as Manchester United boss David Moyes has apparently already sent members of his scouting team over to the Amsterdam ArenA to check up on him as he continues to establish himself within their first team.

Having broke into the Ajax first team last season the 22-year-old has gone from strength to strength this term by


making 26 appearances across all competitions and finding the net once.

Rodgers has been concerned with the performances of some of his defenders this term, and with either Daniel Agger or Martin Skrtel likely to make way this summer the manager is keen to bring in a player with potential to grow as well as someone capable of slotting into the first team on board to replace them.

And Rodgers has also been impressed with the performances of attacking midfielder Davy Klaassen and will also look to see about including him in any deal that cab be struck for Veltman.

Like Veltman, Klaassen made his way through the famed youth ranks at the Amsterdam club and broke through into the first team in 2011. However, it wasn’t until this season thatin 1652, and educated there at Trinity
College. He was appointed poet-laureate by King William III. in 1690,
and it was in conjunction with Dr. Nicholas Brady that he executed his
"New" metrical version of the Psalms. The entire Psalter, with an
appendix of Hymns, was licensed by William and Mary and published in
1703. The _hymns_ in the volume are all by Tate. He died in London, Aug.
12, 1717.

Rev. Nicholas Brady, D.D., was an Irishman, son of an officer in the
royal army, and was born at Bandon, County of Cork, Oct. 28, 1659. He
studied in the Westminster School at Oxford, but afterwards entered
Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated in 1685. William made him
Queen Mary's Chaplain. He died May 20, 1726.

TALLIS' EVENING HYMN.

    Glory to Thee, my God, this night
    For all the blessings of the light,
    Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
    Under Thine own Almighty wings.

This stanza begins the second of Bp. Ken's three beautiful hymn-prayers
in his _Manual_ mentioned on a previous page.

_THE TUNE._

For more than three hundred and fifty years devout people have enjoyed
that melody of mingled dignity and sweetness known as "Tallis' Evening
Hymn."

Thomas Tallis was an Englishman, born about 1520, and at an early age
was a boy chorister at St. Paul's. After his voice changed, he played
the organ at Waltham Abbey, andat the Diet of
Spires, from which the word and the meaning of the word "Protestant" is
derived. "Luther used often to sing it in 1530, while the Diet of
Augsburg was sitting. It soon became the favorite psalm with the people.
It was one of the watchwords of the Reformation, cheering armies to
conflict, and sustaining believers in the hours of fiery trial."

"After Luther's death, Melancthon, his affectionate coadjutor, being one
day at Weimar with his banished friends, Jonas and Creuziger, heard a
little maid singing this psalm in the street, and said, 'Sing on, my
little girl, you little know whom you comfort:'"

    A mighty fortress is our God,
      A bulwark never failing;
    Our helper He, amid the flood


purest and highest Christian sentiment:

        O Deus, ego amo Te.
        Nec amo Te, ut salves me,
        Aut quia non amantes Te
        AEterno punis igne.

    My God, I love Thee--not because
      I hope for heaven thereby;
    Nor yet because who love Thee not
      Must burn eternally.

After recounting Christ's vicarious sufferings as the chief claim to His
disciples' unselfish love, the hymn continues,--

        Cur igitur non amem Te,
        O Jesu amantissime!
  Catherine Winkworth,
born in London, Sept. 13, 1827. She was an industrious and successful
translator of German hymns, contributing many results of her work to two
English editions of the _Lyra Germania_, to the _Church Book of
England_, and to _Christian Singers of Germany_. She died in 1878.

The tune of "Ravendale" by Walter Stokes (born 1847) is the best modern
rendering of the celebrated hymn.

PAUL GERHARDT.

"_Befiehl Du Deine Wege._"

Paul Gerhardt was one of those minstrels of experience who are--

   "Cradled into poetry by wrong,
    And learn in suffering what they teach in song."

He was a graduate of that school when he wrote his "Hymn of Trust:"

    Commit thou all thy griefs
      And ways into His hands;
    To


of
    Everton, and an itinerant servant of Jesus Christ, who loved his
    Master and His work, and after running His errands many years, was
    called up to wait on Him above.

   "Reader, art thou born again?

   "No salvation without the new birth.

   "I was born in sin, February, 1716.

   "Remained ignorant of my fallen state till 1730.

   "Lived proudly on faith and works for salvation till 1751.

   "Admitted to Everton vicarage, 1755.

   "Fled to Jesus alone for refuge, 1756.

   "Fell asleep in Jesus Christ,--" (1793.)

_THE TUNE._

The once popular score that easily made the hymn a favorite, was
"Salem," in the old _Psalmodist_. It stillinteresting
as that of the hymn. In 1823, a lady in Savannah, Ga., having received
and admired a copy of Heber's lyric from England, desired to sing it or
hear it sung, but knew no music to fit the metre. She finally thought of
a young clerk in a bank close by, Lowell Mason by name, who sometimes
wrote music for recreation, and sent her son to ask him if he would make
a tune that would sing the lines. The boy returned in half an hour with
the composition that doubled Heber's fame and made his own.

In the words of Dr. Charles Robinson, "Like the hymn it voices, it was
done at a stroke, and it will last through the ages."

"THE MORNING LIGHT IS BREAKING."

Not far behind Dr. Heber's _chef-d'oeuvre_ in lyric merit is the


   So fades the lovely blooming flower.

--to a stanza of which latter the world owes the tune of "Federal St."

_THE TUNE._

The true musical mate of the sweet hymn-prayer came to it probably about
the time of its hundredth birthday; but it came to stay. Lowell Mason's
"Naomi" blends with it like a symphony of nature.

    Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
      Thy sovereign will denies,
    Accepted at Thy throne of grace
      Let this petition rise.

    Give me a calm and thankful heart
      From every murmer free.
    The blessings of Thy grace impart,
      And make me live toWhen other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
    Help of the helpless, O abide with me!

       *       *       *       *       *

    Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
    Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
    Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
    In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

_THE TUNE_

There is a pathos in the neglect and oblivion of Lyte's own tune set by
himself to his words, especially as it was in a sense the work of


faculty from his grandfather, a clergyman who wrote several
hymns, and it is told of Horatius that hymns used to "come to" him while
riding on railroad trains. He was educated in the Edinburgh University
and studied theology with Dr. Chalmers, and his life was greatly
influenced by Dr. Guthrie, whom he followed in the establishment of the
Free Church of Scotland.

Born in 1808 in Edinburgh, he was about forty years old when he came
back from a successful pastorate at Kelso to the city of his home and
Alma Mater, and became virtually Chalmers' successor as minister of the
Chalmers Memorial Church.

The peculiar richness of Bonar's sacred songs very early created for
them a warm welcome in the religious world, and any devout lyric or poem
with his name attached to it is sure to be read.

Dr.a reflection on the spontaneity of the hymn.

Louis Spohr was Director of the Court Theatre Orchestra in Cassel,
Prussia, in the first half of the last century. He was an eminent
composer of both vocal and instrumental music, and one of the greatest
violinists of Europe.

Hubert Platt Main was born in Ridgefield, Ct., Aug. 17, 1839. He read
music at sight when only ten years old, and at sixteen commenced writing
hymn-tunes. Was assistant compiler with both Bradbury and Woodbury in
their various publications, and in 1868 became connected with the firm
of Biglow and Main, and has been their book-maker until the present
time. As music editor in the partnership he has superintended the
publication of more than five hundred music-books, services, etc.

"I LOVE TO STEAL AWHILE AWAY."

The burdened wife and mother who wrote this hymn


affair of the
heart once drove him into the woods to make away with himself, but a
bird on the roof of a logger's hut, making plaintive sounds,
interrupted him, and he sat down and wrote the tune "Hallowell," on a
strip of white birch bark, is more likely legendary. The following
words, said to have inspired his minor tune, are still set to it in the
old collections:

    As on some lonely building's top
      The sparrow makes her moan,
    Far from the tents of joy and hope
      I sit and grieve alone.[25]

[Footnote 25: Versified by Nahum Tate from Ps. 102:7.]

Maxim was fond of the minor mode, but his minors, like "Hallowell," "New
Durham," etc., are things of theHe
studied music unremittingly, and taught music at fifteen. Brought up in
a Christian home, his religious life began in his youth, and he
consecrated his art to the good of man and the glory of God.

He became well-known as a composer of sacred music, and as a
publisher--the sales of his _Song Queen_ amounting to 200,000 copies. As
a leader of musical conventions and in the Church Choral Union, his
influence in elevating the standard of song-worship has been widely
felt.

"THERE ARE LONELY HEARTS TO CHERISH."

"While the days are going by" is the refrain of the song, and the line
by which it is recognized. The hymn or poem was written by George
Cooper. He was born in New York City, May 14, 1840--a writer of poems
and magazine articles,--composed "While the days are going by" in

briefness of time and opportunity even for them.

_THE TUNE._

Though George Kingsley's "Heber" has in some books done service for the
Bishop's lines, "Siloam," easy-flowing and finely harmonized, is knit
to the words as no other tune can be. It was composed by Isaac Baker
Woodbury on shipboard during a storm at sea. A stronger illustration of
tranquil thought in terrible tumult was never drawn.

"O Galilee, Sweet Galilee," whose history has been given at the end of
chapter six, was not only often sung in Sunday-schools, but chimed (in
the cities) on steeple-bells--nor is itdepart,
    Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
      An humble and a contrite heart.
    Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
      Lest we forget, lest we forget.

    Far-called, our navies melt away,
      On dune and headland sinks the fire;
    Lo all our pomp of yesterday
      Is one with Nineveh and Tyre.
    Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
      Lest we forget, lest we forget.

    If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
      Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
