given much to the Church: saints of exceptional stature, distinguished figures in every rank of the People of God, with unique contributions of genius and style to the Roman Curia, which was thus able to offer effective mediation in the tensions and conflicts which have long undermined the unity of Europe and menaced the peace of the world.

The 1900s happily overcame the misunderstandings and crises that had accompanied the establishment of Italy as a free national State. In this regard Pope Paul VI judged as somewhat providential the passing of the temporal domain, which nevertheless had an undeniable function in the past. Once the wounds that had distressed the fathers had been soothed, the new century made it possible to reach a balanced solution, which was also confirmedin the difficult events of recent decades. Already at the end of the First World War it was clear to Italy and to the Holy See that the 19th-century disagreement was now resolvable, but relations were only finalized with the Lateran Pacts. These are the essential principles of coexistence.

With the Treaty they have, moreover, confirmed the establishment of "Vatican City State", endowed with that minimum territorial basis necessary for guaranteeing the Pope and the Holy See absolute sovereignty and independence. The Concordat, beyond the letter of the law, has assumed great and exemplary value as a guarantee for that free practice of religious life which is the first among human rights, since it is essential for a mature and modern citizenry that spiritual inspiration be able to express


itself with all its potential.

You, Mr Ambassador, opportunely recalled the mutual collaboration of the State and the Catholic Church "for the advancement of the human person and the good of the country" (cf. Art. 1, Agreement on Revision of the Lateran Concordat of 1984). This collaboration deserves to be deepened and continued in order to satisfy some fundamental aspirations that are particularly felt by the Church and by Catholics in Italy. The defence of human dignity from conception does indeed pertain to the natural law, but it expects from the State's positive legislation that full recognition based on an awareness that there is an undisputed value in motherhood for the individual and for society as a whole. The family, the basic cell of society and its natural foundation,also calls for its more effective recognition as the place of love for man and woman and the home for the hope of new lives. It is in the education of the younger generation that the religious experience of the Italian nation can boast a creative originality of scholastic institutions, to a great extent aimed at the less well-off, which deserves respect and support through effective legal and financial parity between State and non-State schools, which will courageously overcome misunderstandings and sectarianism, so foreign to the basic values of the European cultural tradition.

In the name of my special concern for the young generation, I feel compelled to ask all the members of Italian society to make a joint effort to overcome these obstacles and delays in order to

STOCKTON - A 34-year-old man told police someone shot at him about 3:10 p.m. Friday near East Taylor and Ash streets, authorities reported.

The victim was sitting in his truck talking to a friend when he noticed the gunman sitting in the back seat of a silver, four-door sedan, possibly with a prostitute, police said. The man noticed he was being observed, got out of the sedan and fired shots at the victim, authorities said.

The shooter followed the victim as he fled the area, but the victim got away, police said. The victim's truck was struck by one bullet, but he was not injured, authorities said.

The document provides a list of potential tasks for pharmacists in the practice setting and skills and qualities that GPs should look for.

PEORIA — A Peoria County judge has ordered county officials to explain why temperatures in his courtroom on Monday reached 80 degrees and no one had alerted him or others about it.

Circuit Judge Kevin Lyons gave County Administrator Lori Curtis Luther seven days to give him a written plan on how people are made aware of problems within the Peoria County Courthouse and who is responsible for such a plan.

While complaints about the climate control system in the courthouse have long been heard, Lyons wrote in his five-paragraph order to Luther that “no business could be conducted due to the sultry and uncomfortable temperatures and conditions.”

Lyons canceled all his hearings Monday morning and moved them to Tuesday. He also had Assistant County Administrator Scott Sorrell appear before himas a science whose statistical tools can be put to work on nearly any aspect of modern life. That's because economics is in essence the study of incentives, and how people -- perhaps even monkeys -- respond to those incentives. A quick scan of the current literature reveals that top economists are studying subjects like prostitution, rock 'n' roll, baseball cards and media bias.

Chen proudly calls himself a behavioral economist, a member of a growing subtribe whose research crosses over into psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology. He began his monkey work as a Harvard graduate student, in concert with Marc Hauser, a psychologist. The Harvard monkeys were cotton-top tamarins, and the experiments with them concerned altruism. Two monkeys faced each other in adjoining cages, each equipped with a


stooge blithely pulled her lever over and over, never failing to dump a marshmallow into the other monkey's cage. Initially, the other monkeys responded in kind, pulling their own levers 50 percent of the time. But once they figured out that their partner was a pushover (like a parent who buys her kid a toy on every outing whether the kid is a saint or a devil), their rate of reciprocation dropped to 30 percent -- lower than the original average rate. The selfish jerk, meanwhile, was punished even worse. Once her reputation was established, whenever she was led into the experimenting chamber, the other tamarins ''would just go nuts,'' Chen recalls. ''They'd throw their feces at the wall, walk into the corner and sit on their hands,kind of sulk.''

Chen is a hyperverbal, sharp-dressing 29-year-old with spiky hair. The son of Chinese immigrants, he had an itinerant upbringing in the rural Midwest. As a Stanford undergraduate, he was a de facto Marxist before being seduced, quite accidentally, by economics. He may be the only economist conducting monkey experiments, which puts him at slight odds with his psychologist collaborators (who are more interested in behavior itself than in the incentives that produce the behavior) as well as with certain economist colleagues. ''I love interest rates, and I'm willing to talk about their kind of stuff all the time,'' he says, speaking of his fellow economists. ''But I can tell that they're biting their tongues when I tell them what I'm working on.''

It is sometimes unclear, even


to Chen himself, exactly what he is working on. When he and Santos, his psychologist collaborator, began to teach the Yale capuchins to use money, he had no pressing research theme. The essential idea was to give a monkey a dollar and see what it did with it. The currency Chen settled on was a silver disc, one inch in diameter, with a hole in the middle -- ''kind of like Chinese money,'' he says. It took several months of rudimentary repetition to teach the monkeys that these tokens were valuable as a means of exchange for a treat and would be similarly valuable the next day. Having gained that understanding, a capuchin would then be presented with 12 tokens on a tray and have to decide howbank heist -- which led to a chaotic scene in which the human researchers had to rush into the main chamber and offer food bribes for the tokens, a reinforcement that in effect encouraged more stealing.

Something else happened during that chaotic scene, something that convinced Chen of the monkeys' true grasp of money. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of money, after all, is its fungibility, the fact that it can be used to buy not just food but anything. During the chaos in the monkey cage, Chen saw something out of the corner of his eye that he would later try to play down but in his heart of hearts he knew to be true. What he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex

In this paper, a novel extraction approach based on the use of a polymeric membrane as the extraction medium is described. For this aim, an original unit which allows the magnetic stirring of the membrane during the extraction process has been designed, optimized, and practically evaluated. On one hand, the main variables affecting the extraction process such as the unit design, the stirring rate, the extraction time, the sample volume, and the elution conditions were deeply studied. Once optimized, a model analytical problem, the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples, was selected for practical evaluation of the stir membrane extraction procedure. The method was characterized on the basis of its linearity, precision, and limits of detection. The

Candidates Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden were frequently interrupted during the debate

Comedy website Funny Or Die shared a GIF of characters from The Simpsons engaged in a brawl accompanied by the sarcastic remark: 'Enjoying the debate'.

At times, several of the candidates became frustrated with the lack of intervention from the moderators, with Pete Buttigieg at one point speaking overthe top of Bernie Sanders for almost 30 seconds.

'You're the moderators, guys,' Sanders gruffly remarked.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden also appeared fed up, lamenting: 'I guess the only way to do this is jump in and speak twice as long as you should. Why am I stopping? No one else stops.'

The New York Times was critical of some of the questioning, with the moderators omitting grilling the candidates about the Supreme Court and the stock market.

They also were slammed for asking about Bloomberg's soda ban, ahead of other issues including the coronavirus.

Meanwhile, other viewers took issue with the fact that the debate venue was stacked with attendees who paid four figures for tickets.

Several noticed that the audience appeared to favor Establishment candidates, particularly Bloomberg.

'Bloomberg bought out most of the audience

And as the Donald Trump administration functions largely like an African dictatorship, it has been a lesson that has been helpful in shedding light on the complicity of formerly moral Republicans, and in turn, the normalisation of Trump and his associates by liberals.

Just as Bannon baits liberal media for his own propaganda purposes, so do liberals benefit from engaging with him

Once you see relevance and proximity to power or influence as a basic motivator of elites, you cannot unsee it. When David Remnick, the editor of the New Yorker, invited Steve Bannon to headline the magazine’s Festival of Ideas, an invitation he later rescinded because he had “changed his mind”, it was not an aberration. The liberal media, so in


the thrall to the power of narrative, spun Bannon’s myth before he had even properly set foot in the White House, and wrote hagiographies after.

His brief association with Trump – by all accounts a coincidental move after a peripatetic career – was written into something of far more consequence by those fascinated by a man who should have been one of their own but took the dark path, like an evil twin in a Hollywood movie. He is constantly remade, even though since he was fired he has done little but bait and agitate in culture wars. The New Yorker attributes an entire school of thought to him, and calls it “Bannonism”.

In another such outing of Bannon as a dark knight, this weekend he will be interviewed byat the centre of? They did not campaign for Brexit, they did not put Trump in the White House, and they are not pushing back far-right gains in Europe. They are losing, and so the perceived architects of their disenfranchisement – the Nigel Farages and Steve Bannons and all the other dissimulating career nativists – will be entertained for as long as they are relevant. Even though in reality they are part-actors in the grand scheme of things, cast in a central role because that way they, and the story, sell better.

That is the real echo chamber: the one that leaves those at the sharp end of these debates out in the cold, even as they are accused of demanding a sanitised “dinner party” politics. Bannon is on


Chief Minister felt the earlier name had a negative connotation

The War Room in Mantralaya will now be called Sankalp Kaksha or Mission Room. According to official sources, the idea for the change came from Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray who felt the word ‘war’ had a negative connotation.

Former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had opened the room to review projects such as the Metro.

New concept

In May 2015, Mr. Fadnavis held his first meeting in the ‘CM’s War Room’, a concept new to Mantralaya and one that garnered media attention. Its objective was to push long-pending projects stuck in bureaucratic bottlenecks with military efficiency; hence the name. The room had a dash board, maps, and projectors for showing drone surveys, among other things.

It was headed by Officer on Special Duty tothe CM Kaustubh Dhavse who worked in close coordination with the CM’s additional chief secretary Praveen Pardeshi. Mr. Dhavse was assisted by interns with degrees from premier institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology. Some of the projects monitored in the War Room included the Metro projects, Coastal Road, Navi Mumbai airport, irrigation projects and the Shivaji statue that were in the offing for more than a decade.

Only the top-most bureaucrats and ministers had access to the 50-seater room, where confidential decisions were taken. For example, if a project related to Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority was being discussed, only the top official and an additional officer were allowed, apart from the relevant secretaries, ministers and chief secretary. A schedule would be drawn a week in advance


Roberto Mancini said Manchester City's life was "not over" and vowed to come back stronger in next season's Champions League, after the club went out of the competition despite beating Bayern Munich 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Tizen is trying to make all the right moves when it comes to getting its Tizen mobile OS off the ground and into people's hands. However, to the surprise of... not many people (probably even Samsung), it's going to be a struggle. NTT Docomo has canceled its plans for launching a Tizen smartphone early this year, citing timing as the issue. A spokesperson, talking in a briefing yesterday, told Engadget Japanese that its smartphones sales hadn't increased substantially since the year before (despite this being the first year the carrier has started selling iPhones), stating that there wasn't space for three mobile OSes in Japan's current smartphone climate. It's not ruling out the eventual arrival of Tizen hardware, however. Maybe Docomo is waiting on those new handsets promisedrotor head assembly that supports the wafer. In addition to introducing the wafer into the processing chamber, the rotor head assembly may be used to spin the wafer during introduction of the processing fluid onto the surface of the wafer, or after processing to remove the processing fluid.
During processing, the wafer is presented to the rotor head assembly by a robot in a clean environment in which a number of processing reactors are present. The robot presents the wafer in an exposed state to the rotor head assembly in an orientation in which the side of the wafer that is to be processed is face up. The rotor head assembly inverts the wafer and engages and seals with a cup for processing. As the wafer is processed, the

I had come to call the place home. But, as the walls and the room itself became increasingly bare, the very life that resided within the room breathed its last. I was looking at the corpse of a year’s worth of strangers who became my family, of mornings and nights filled with incredibly meaningful conversations, of “mountaintop experiences” and more than one visit to the valley of the shadow of death. And my friends were there through it all.

And now, now it was all over.

The appetite for a new Frank Ocean album has gone from rampant to insatiable as the artist has steadily put out new tracks over the past few weeks. A new fan theory from the most astute of his audience has pieced together a decent idea of what to expect from the new project that may or may not be imminent.

As broken down in this Reddit post, the album artwork for "DHL" (below) and "In My Room" (above) feature his respective silhouette flagged in a series of more silhouettes. On "In My Room," there are 17 such silhouettes, while the "DHL" artwork only features 13. The thinking goes that the album will feature 13 songs, and an additional four remixes for the singles "Dear April," "Cayendo," "Little Demon," andWelcome to First Click, an essay written by The Verge staff in which we opine on lives lived in the near future.

Like most days that end in tragedy, I woke up filled with anticipation. The weather forecast was excellent: 80 degrees, sunny, and very little wind — a rarity for the unpredictable Dutch coast, especially for a Sunday. Perfect conditions for my friend, a gregarious Frenchman, to bring his new Mavic Pro drone to the beach.

The first gin and tonic was served at noon.

My friend, let's call him Clouseau, had flown his drone just a few times prior because it's illegal to fly drones in the city center of Amsterdam where he lives. This would be his second visit to the unrestricted airspace of the coastline.

Her recent endeavour has seen story lines picked from a contemporary Swahili society, and translated into German for kids of Kenyan descent. She says authentic children stories are quickly being replaced by the internet and social media, and therefore her books help to fill the gap.

Before coming to Germany, Fitsame had 30 books under her belt, all published in Amharic. She worked with several children projects in Ethiopia, including Save the Children, where local stories about children came to life.

She narrates that born out of a passion for books, she noticed that although literal publications were diversifying in character and production, there were few


so excited to meet this person who represented them, and spoke the language their parents speak”. She shares of her experience of how the books are stimulating the curiosity of children.

The books are written in Tirgyina for Eritrea and Ethiopia, there is Amharic and Oromo, Swahili, English and Dutch all with their German translations.

She says that once the book is written an expert language translator is engaged. Interestingly, Fitsame also gets children to participate in the book projects.

She uses stories from the location of the language e.g Swahili for Kenyans with its German version in translations.

The idea is to give a combination of two worlds, while the story is set in Germany, the language and cultural translations helps the children to see their African world and environment.

It alsoinvolves a transnational cultural translation for instance bringing stories from Ethiopia and telling them in German or within an environment in Germany. In addition, stories set in Germany explain what children can relate to in their daily lives.

“It came as a shock to me that when I arrived in Germany, the only characterization of Africans was advertisements that depicted poverty, malnutrition and disease”. She explains.

What disturbed her is that if children who have grown in Germany and have never been to Africa see such images, they tend to relate them directly to people from African.

“The images are negative, I think, there are also positive images from Africa”. She noted.

Fitsame also adds that when she visited a book fair in Frankfurt, she almost immediately noticed a lack of diversification


in the books that were already on the market.

The Amharic books, which Fitsame wrote, translated by the Amharic speaking community in Frankfurt have received a wider readership.

She attributes the success of the project to the willingness of the Amharic speaking community to get their stories told.

The books have not just attracted kids, but are frequently used by people who want to visit Ethiopia, to learn a little bit of the local language.

The fact that someone who looks like them, who speaks both or one parent’s language is the author of the books, gives an instant connection and interest since such books have not on the market.

She says that the debate is always whether to choose the pure original language or the colloquial version spoken within the community. Inthe end, it is all about balancing, but this can only be determined after the kids are brought on board to test the process.

This involves experimenting with kids who know the language and those, who are just starting to learn the language. In the process, words are sifted to see which ones are better in terms of meaning and understanding.

Fitsame Teferra, reading to children from one of her books.

The translators she works with must be knowledgeable of how children understand things, while children bring their enthusiasm about things and how they make sense to them, relating to the environment around them.

In turn, children also learn about new subjects in the story. When Fitsame started her projects in Frankfurt, she would write all the stories, but later thought of


origins published here in Germany.

With the books, Fitsame believes that a cultural communication can start integrating communities to work together, home and abroad. It can broaden the shared experiences and make travelling back home with children easier and fun, since through the books they become conversant with the language.

She notes that language builds identity, and therefore when children have diversified books in their libraries their exposure and thoughts are broadened.

A master’s student in Childhood and Children Rights in Berlin, Fitsame is already poised on connecting childhood development and childhood rights in the themes for her stories. Her goal is to ensure that through the participation of children, stories can be told from the voice of children. “One child story to another”.

She also hopes that with her academic backgroundA series of 32 beautifully illustrated portraits of pop culture heroes by Mike Mitchell which had been put up at Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas. The series entitled “Pop Culture Hero Portraits” features 32 portraits of what pop culture has brought to our world in last 30 years.

About Raulzig Turfoodle II

Background:

Raulzig Turfoodle was born for adventure. Or at least, that's what he's been telling everyone around him for the last 50 years or so. Not that many were inclined to believe him.

The only child of a high-ranking wizard and a renowned actress, Raulzig was raised under extreme care, and has never left the city of Absalom in his life. One of his father's friends was a retired adventurer, and as a child, Raulzig was enthralled by the tales of his colorful past. Sometimes, he would even sneak away with Raulzig and play 'hunt the monster' with him. After his mother learnt of these exploits, though, she didn't talk with father for a week and the friend has never set foot in their


house again.

Raulzig did not stop dreaming of adventuring, however, and he spent all his time reading books which featured ancient tombs, damsels in distress, dastardly villains, and daring adventurers with whips.

When Raulzig was of age, mother insisted he joins the Absalom Academy of Fine Arts. At first, Raulzig hated the classes, but with time he grew to love exclusively one of the Arts: history. He even founded a "Club of Historical Re-enactment", where he and his fellow students practiced historical fencing moves and researched ancient spells.

After graduation, he remained in the academy as an assistant professor of archaeology. Suddenly he realized that having an academic title opens up a whole world of new possibilities, when he was contacted by the Pathfinder Society as a research consultant for theupcoming expedition to Katapesh. Raulzig could not let this chance go, and he used all his charisma and connections (also, some gifts of unknown value may or may not have been involved) to get included in the expedition roster.

He spent all his earnings on getting the essential explorer's gear: a cork helmet, a whip, and a crossbow. When he stood before the Venture-Captain with his full equipment, Venture-Captain sighed and gave him a small intricate object - the wayfinder. With that, Raulzig was told, he would always know where north is. He didn't fully understand why he'd need it, since to the north of Katapesh lied Absalom, and Raulzig would much rather know where to go forward, rather than where to return back. Still, he thanked the Venture-Captain


and promised to repay him as soon as he returns with all the ancient treasure he is about to plunder.

Long into the journey to join Garavel's expedition to Kelmarane, he couldn't stop wondering what the Venture-Captain's expression actually meant. Eventually he settled on it being a sign of envy.

He soon had more important things than archaeology to worry about, though, as what was supposed to be an exploration mission quickly turned into a whirlwind of increasingly dangerous adventures. During his exploits in Katapesh Raulzig has acquired a fabulous collection of exotic magic items, along with a knack of disabling and avoiding any traps which usually guard them.

After the threat to Kelmarane and the surroundings has been undone, Raulzig suddenly found himself without a purpose. He felt like hehas seen and achieved everything Katapesh could offer. He was offered a spot near a certain powerful djinni as her personal scout and messenger, but after some consideration he turned it down.

He packed all his treasure and left Katapesh, returning to the Pathfinder Society and asking for a new mission, preferably in a distant region. This time, he was offered the polar opposite of the scorching Katapesh - the frozen Irrisen. This contrast has reignited his lust for adventure, and he began the travel preparations again...


from a decree of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach. Hon. Austin E. Owen, judge presiding.
COCHRAN
COCHRAN, J., delivered the opinion of the court.
By final decree entered March 18, 1976, the trial court granted Esther Verena Clark an absolute divorce from her husband, William R. Clark, on the ground of voluntary separation for more than one year.  Mrs. Clark has appealed from the decree insofar as it awarded Clark custody of their infant children, William Coyd Clark, II, then aged five, and Brian Ramon Clark, then aged three, with the right of reasonable visitation reserved to her.
The Clarks separated on or about February 1, 1974, and on February 8, 1974, Mrs. Clark filed her bill of complaint seeking, on the ground of desertion, a divorcefrom her husband and custody of the children.  She subsequently filed an amended bill of complaint for a divorce based upon voluntary separation for more than one year.  Under the provisions of a stipulation dated *925 February 25, 1974, it was agreed, among other things, that Mrs. Clark would have custody of the two children, that she would waive alimony, that she would live in the family residence, that she would pay certain debts, and that Clark would pay $50 per week for child support and discharge various other obligations.
Several months after their separation Mrs. Clark experienced financial difficulties.  She and Clark orally agreed that he would assume temporary custody of the children until she overcame her financial problems.  Mrs. Clark moved into an


apartment which she shared with another young woman, and Clark moved back into the family residence and lived there with the children.  Six or eight months later Mrs. Clark requested that the children be returned to her custody, but Clark declined to comply.
By order entered April 22, 1975, the trial court awarded temporary custody of the children to Clark and referred the matter to the Department of Social Services of the City of Virginia Beach "for an investigation and a report of the circumstances" of the parents.  After the report had been filed on July 22, 1975, the proceeding was referred to a commissioner in chancery to take evidence and report his findings to the court.
The evidence, taken ore tenus before the commissioner in January, 1976,reflected credit upon the Clarks.  Each acknowledged that the other loved the children and was a good parent.  Mrs. Clark testified that she was financially able to care for the children.  Her take home pay as a secretary was $550.88 per month, which exceed her expenses, and she had expectations of an increase in salary.  She had been unable to have the children with her overnight, except on one occasion, because of her limited accommodations, but she had arranged, subject to obtaining a change of custody, for a two-bedroom apartment within several blocks of the family residence, in order that the children might continue in the same day care school they were then attending.
Bonnie Brawner, the social worker who made the investigation ordered by


the court, testified that she found both the mother and father to be fit and proper parents.  She recommended that custody be awarded to Clark because of Mrs. Clark's financial problems and indefinite living arrangements at the time of the investigation.  Her recommendation was also based upon the good adjustment made by the children in their father's custody, the stability of the home, and the adverse effect *926 that might result from removing them from that environment. She conceded that if Mrs. Clark's plans to obtain an apartment near their present home and keep the children in the same school were accomplished "it would not be such a change for them."
There was evidence that Clark's parents were devoted to the children and that the children stayedwere not equal between them because the home in which the children had lived happily with their father for two years was more suitable for them than the present or proposed home of Mrs. Clark.  He reported that his determination of suitability was based, not upon physical accommodations or material advantages, but upon the stability of the home environment, the warmth, the associations, and the kind of home life the children could be expected to experience.  He found that they were enjoying the dedicated attention of Clark, the companionship of children in the neighborhood, and the affectionate interest of their paternal grandparents.  Therefore, he recommended that the boys remain in the custody of their father.
As the evidence was heard ore tenus by the commissioner and


the present custody dispute demonstrates that my concern was real and not fanciful.
In both White and Burnside, the majority could at least point to something in the particular mother's emotional makeup, or in her proposed living arrangements for the child, to justify the conclusion that the child's welfare would be better served by continuing custody in the father.  But here, absent even a hint of the unsuitability of the mother or her home, she is denied custody for the sole reason, as expressed in the majority opinion, that the children involved in this case "have now resided with their father for approximately three years" and "are doing well in their present environment." Not on such slim grounds would I deny the mother custody or deprive the childrenMonth: July 2015

Adam Greenen led the charge of the Minis at the Isle of Wight College on July 12th. The Greenen family were on form throughout the day, and it was Adam who found the time required to beat the rest of the Class Three field as well as the fastest of the ‘Seven-esque’ Locost machines, piloted by Ricky Sheppard, who was Class Five victor. Chris Greenen recorded the third fastest time of the day, six hundredths of a second behind Sheppard and a further six hundredths of a second clear of Dan Morgan in his Sub Zero Locost.

Dave Goodwin was next in his Mini, followed by Class Four winner Toby Allen, who pulled out a very good performance in his Lotus Elise. Daniel Kozakewycz took Class Two


honours in his Mazda MX5, beating the recently dominant Dean Long in the process. Daryl Turner rounded out the Class Three podium.

Kevin Richardson took the wheel of his daily driver, a Toyota Yaris, in order to take Class One honours, while Vicky Cox was the fastest lady of the day ahead of Jill Broomfield, who had a big moment in her Volkswagen Golf on her fourth run. Her car was badly damaged, so Vicky Cox shared her the 205 for the rest of the day. Sue Mitchell rounded out the Ladies top three in her MX5, which she shared with Steve Glass.

For the first time in 13 years, the Virginia football team picked up a postseason win as the Cavaliers cruised to a 28-0 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Belk Bowl. This was Virginia’s first bowl win since the Cavaliers defeated Minnesota in the 2005 Music City Bowl.

Virginia had a complete outing on both sides of the ball as they dominated in every facet of the game. Olamide Zaccheaus, the game MVP, hauled in 12 passes for 100 yards and three touchdowns in his final game as a Cavalier. Fellow fourth year Jordan Ellis had a workman’s game with 26 carries and 106 yards with one touchdown.

Quarterback Bryce Perkins went 22-for-31 for 2018 yards and three touchdown passes in the game. He added 81 yards onright off the bat. Zaccheaus had pick ups of 10 yards (and another first down) and eight yards on back-to-back plays before Ellis ground out three yards for another first down in South Carolina territory.

Ellis and Zaccheaus combined to pick up two more first downs for the Cavaliers and get the Hoos to the 14-yard line. South Carolina’s defense got to Perkins on first down for a loss of five yards, and Dubois was forced out on the sidelines on 2nd-and-15. On a designed run, Perkins scrambled to the 6-yard line. Facing 4th-and-2, Coach Mendenhall elected to go for it, and the gamble paid off as Perkins found Zaccheaus in the end zone for the score and the 7-0 lead with 3:30 to play. The scoring drive took


back to the Hoos on the 20-yard line.

Zaccheaus hauled in another pass for a 12-yard pickup and a first down, and some elusive footwork and good headwork from Perkins found Hasise Dubois for another first down. The drive stalled at the South Carolina 46-yard line after the Hoos lost yardage on first down and were unable to convert 3rd-and-13. Lester Coleman boomed the punt deep and pinned SC inside their own 10 after Bryan Edwards called for the fair catch at the 7-yard line.

A 15-yard rush from Mon Denson gave the Gamecocks some breathing room, and Bentley connected with Shi Smith for a 13-yard pickup and another first down. A short rush and a pass deflection at the line by Charles Snowden set up 3rd-and-7 for USC. Bentleyevaded pressure from Jordan Mack and Chris Peace before finding Josh Vann in space, but the young receiver turned upfield before completing the catch and the Gamecocks punted the ball away.

Virginia was penalized for a personal foul, pushing the Hoos back to their own 10-yard line. On 2nd-and-8 things got a little dicey after the ball ricocheted off of Zaccheaus’s hands, but Dubois had his teammate’s back to haul in the pass and set up a short yardage third down play. Ellis powered through the middle for four yards and the new set of downs before Joe Reed drew a flag for interference that moved Virginia forward 15 yards to the UVA 38-yard line.

Dubois picked up nine yards on first down and another completion to Zaccheaus gave Virginia


a first down at midfield. A Perkins rush for four yards and a seven yard pass to OZ kept the Hoos in business, and Virginia followed it up with four straight rushes (and another first down) from Ellis to set up 2nd-and-7 from the South Carolina 26-yard line. Perkins found Zaccheaus for his eighth reception of the half for another first down, and Perkins ran it up the middle for a hard-earned four yards as the clocked ticked through a minute left in the half. Ellis got the call on 2nd-and-6, and the senior running back trucked up the gut for nine yards and the touchdown with 42 seconds left in the half.

The scoring drive ate up 8:10 of game clock and went 90 yards in 14 plays.(76%) for 102 yards and a touchdown in the first half, and added another 31 yards on six carries. Ellis amassed 58 yards on 13 carries in the first half with one touchdown, and Zaccheaus hauled in one touchdown on eight receptions on nine targets (Dubois caught his one miss) for 65 yards.

Defensively, Mack led the Hoos with six first half tackles, followed by Thornhill with five. The Cavaliers had one sack, two quarterback hurries, and three pass break ups as they limited South Carolina to just seven first downs and a 2-for-8 mark on third down.

South Carolina returned the favor to start the second half by kicking the ball out of bounds on the kick off, giving the Hoos the ball at the 35-yard line. A reception


from Reed gave the Hoos a first down, but the drive fizzled out at the South Carolina 49-yard line. AFter a punt from Coleman, the Gamecocks took over at their own 16-yard line.

Crosby fumbled the ball on the first play from scrimmage for USC in the second half, but he recovered his own mistake. Bentley found Smith for a 12-yard pickup to get the Gamecocks to a manageable 3rd-and-3. Virginia wouldn’t relent as Mack came off the edge untouched to wrap up Bentley for the Hoos’ second sack of the game. South Carolina would punt to Virginia, and Billy Kemp returned the ball 11 yards to set up the Hoos at the SC 39-yard line.

Perkins scampered eight yards for a first down after Ellis picked up three yards,and the chains kept moving as Chris Sharp hauled in his first reception of the game for 10 yards. The Gamecock defense got to Perkins on first down for a loss of two yards and a catch-and-run from Zaccheaus set up 3rd-and-6 from the SC 14-yard line. After taking their second timeout of the half, Perkins scrambled for nine yards and the first down. The Hoos were flagged for illegal motion on the next play, setting up 1st-and-goal from the 10 yard line. Virginia needed just one play to find the end zone as Perkins connected with OZ for the touchdown, his second of the day.

Virginia used 4:29 and went 39 yards in eight plays to bump their lead to 21-0 with 7:14 to play in the third


quarter.

The Gamecocks managed to pick up one first down before a failed rush and an incomplete pass set up 3rd-and-10 for SC. Robert Snyder broke through, getting to Bentley and recording Virginia’s third sack of the game and forcing the punt.

Facing 3rd-and-7 on their next possession, Perkins found Zaccheaus for a 34-yard pickup which was negated by a flag for pass interference (pick play) on Ben Hogg. The Cavaliers punted on 4th-and-15, giving the ball back to the Gamecocks at their own 32-yard line with under four minutes left in the third quarter.

After an incompletion on first down, Bentley found Denson in stride who rattled off 23 yards. On the next play, Bentley threw a perfect pass to find Smith for 37 yards, their biggest gain of theday. Denson lost three yards on 1st-and-goal from the eight, and Joey Blount nearly picked off the next pass to set up third down for the Gamecocks. Bentley overthrew Edwards on the next play, and USC elected to go for it on fourth down with 2:02 left in the quarter. After a timeout, Bentley and Chavis Dawkins were seemingly not on the same page as the pass fell harmlessly incomplete as the Gamecocks turned it over on downs.

Dubois picked up 14 yards for a first down, and Perkins followed that up with one of his own on his legs to end the fourth quarter with the Hoos leading 21-0. The Cavaliers pulled off some trickeration on the first play of the fourth, but Dubois was loose carrying the


ball on the reception and fumbled. Bentley attempted a deep ball on second down, and Tim Harris was in perfect position to break up the pass in the end zone. On the next play, Thornhill was in the right place to pick off Bentley and rattled off a 54-yard return to set up the Hoos at the South Carolina 21-yard line.

The Hoos rushed the ball three times with Perkins losing a couple yards on third down to set up a 33-yard field goal attempt for Delaney. He missed, giving the ball back to the Gamecocks without taking advantage of the turnover. South Carolina attempted three passes with all three missing the mark. The Gamecocks punted back to Virginia after using just 1:49.

A Perkins pass to Hogg for 18yards and a rush from Perkins for 19 yards set up a 1st-and-10 at the SC 19-yard line as the Hoos kept working clock. Ellis picked up six yards to go over 1,000 yards on the season and set up a 2nd-and-4 from the 12 yard line.

With his last rush, Jordan Ellis now has over 1,000 rushing yards on the season! #GoHoos #BelkBowl ⚔ pic.twitter.com/XjthwrcNLM — Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) December 29, 2018

On the next play, Perkins found Zaccheaus for his third touchdown of the day, giving Virginia a 28-0 lead with 6:42 to play.

Shi Smith had a huge 65-yard return on the ensuing kick-off. After three incomplete passes and an ineligible man downfield penalty on USC, Edwards hauled in a difficult pass on fourth down to keep the


Comparative study of the forelimbs of the semifossorial prairie dog, Cynomys gunnisoni, and the scansorial fox squirrel, Sciurus niger.
A comparative study of the forelimbs of the semifossorial prairie dog, Cynomys gunnisoni , and the scansorial tree squirrel, Sciurus niger, was focused on the musculoskeletal design for digging in the former and climbing in the latter. Based on lever arm mechanics, it was expected that the forelimb of the prairie dog would show features appropriate to the production of relatively large forces and that of the fox squirrel to relatively great velocity. Force and lever arm measurements were made of select forelimb muscles at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints for a series of angles in both species. Contraction time and fatigue indexes were determined for the same forelimbmuscles. Contrary to expectation, in the few cases in which significant (P less than .05) differences were found, the forces, lever arms, and torques (force times its lever arm) were greater in the smaller fox squirrel. The observed variation in the torques produced fits the demands on the forelimb during climbing and digging as estimated from films. Several forelimb muscles of the fox squirrel show significantly higher mean contraction times than do the homologous muscles of the prairie dog. There were no significant differences between the two species in the fatigability of the selected forelimb muscles, although the mean fatigue index was always higher (less fatigable muscle) in the prairie dog. Similarities in the forelimbs of these two sciurids suggest that only minor modifications may have been required

NEW YORK -- This time, Subaru is trying to get ahead of generational change with a new SUV that it hopes will capture the family market.

Subaru introduced the Ascent crossover concept, a three-row SUV that has surprisingly conventional looks for that class of vehicle. It's upright, not the sleeker, more wagon-like configuration of much of the rest of its lineup.

It's a concept, but Tom Doll, president of Subaru of America, introducing the car here at the New York Auto Show, says it is surefire for production. "Yes, it will be made," he said.

He says Subaru made a mistake in past generations by becoming a favorite of younger, single people or small families but missing out as they added more kids. Now, as Millennials gradually need sevenA prosecutor told jurors at the opening of a terrorism trial that an Arizona man

The prosecutor -- Andrew DeFilippis -- urged jurors to carefully listen to evidence against Ahmed Mohammed el-Gammal before convicting the Avondale, Arizona, resident.

Defense attorney Annalisa Miron said the trial in Manhattan federal court

Opening statements Tuesday concentrated on what happened to Samy el-Goarany before and after he went to Syria in January 2015. Prosecutors said his family was notified in fall 2015 that he had died in Syria.

Miron said the 24-year-old Baruch College student planned his own trip to Syria.

An Arizona man charged with conspiring to help a terrorist group provided a "launching pad" for a New York college student to join the Islamic State group in Syria, a prosecutor told jurors at the opening


of his trial.

But a defense lawyer said her client was being blamed as a scapegoat.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew DeFilippis urged Manhattan federal court jurors to carefully listen to evidence against 44-year-old Ahmed Mohammed el-Gammal before convicting the Avondale, Arizona, resident at a trial expected to last up to a month. He said el-Gammal wasn't a fighter or a terrorist operative but assisted the Islamic State by helping Samy el-Goarany reach Syria, where he trained and fought for the group.

DeFilippis said el-Gammal helped the Islamic State "find one more person, one more recruit, one more fighter who was willing to train, to fight and to kill."

He said el-Gammal communicated online with el-Goarany and visited him in New York for two days in October 2014, just weeks before el-Goarany flewto Turkey on his way to Syria.

DeFilippis said jurors would see a video el-Goarany made after el-Gammal's arrest in which the 24-year-old, clad in military fatigues, insists he got himself to Syria without help from others. The prosecutor called it "a transparent, almost ridiculous denial, powerful proof of what did happen."

He said el-Goarany's parents and brother were desperately trying to get him to return home when they received a letter in fall 2015 saying he was killed in battle. He said trial witnesses would include family members who will describe the words and actions of el-Goarany in the days before he left the United States.

"He was too far down the path the defendant had helped pave for him," DeFilippis said. "He acted as a launching pad for el-Goarany's


mission."

Defense attorney Annalisa Miron said the trial should end in acquittal.

"Mr. Ahmed el-Gammal is not guilty," she said.

Miron said her client was a typical American who smokes cigarettes, listens to rhythm and blues music and takes weekend trips to Las Vegas.

She said members of el-Goarany's family, including his brother and a cousin, knew he was going to join the Islamic State group. She said the Baruch College student planned his own trip to Syria.

"The government is looking for somebody to blame," she said.

If convicted, el-Gammal could face decades in prison.About Kathy Hands, MTB Guide

After years coming to the Canyonlands to backpack and hike, she became a permanent resident of the Moab area in 1998. She began riding a mountain bike in 2005 and was happy to discover that riding hard on a bike gave her the same endorphin rush as trail running in the canyons. The camaraderie of group trips with others appealed to her as well. She received her guide certifications in 2007, and is known at Magpie Cycling Adventures as the Wildflower Goddess.

The Republic of Turkey has a history of bad choices as well. In World War I, Turkey allied with Germany. In World War II, Turkey signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler and supplied the Nazis with chromate, vital to the production of stainless steel. When Allied victory was certain, Turkey cut off the chromate.

That same year, the Bradburds moved to Chicago and joined the First Universalist Church of Chicago, which was nearer to their house than the Unitarian church. (So the Bradburds blended the Unitarian Universalist faiths in their lives before the faiths themselves merged!)

It was a small congregation, racially integrated, and aligned with their values—they were hooked! And as their family grew to include four kids, they became deeply engaged in the church. In 1974, they left Chicago and jumped into another community—the UU Church of the Restoration—when they moved to Philadelphia. Their new church was also small and racially integrated, and they came to feel right at home.

Forcing a military court to hear and decide an appeal from former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr is inappropriate, the American government says.

In new legal filings, U.S. government lawyers argue the years-long delay in hearing the Canadian’s case is reasonable, and civilian court intervention unjustified.

American troops captured the Toronto-born Khadr, now 33, as a badly wounded 15-year-old in Afghanistan in 2002.

His father was a financier for Al-Qaeda and had brought the family to Afghanistan from Canada in 1996.

During that time, Khadr and his brother received weapons training and were indoctrinated with extremist ideology.

When American forces raided the compound where Khadr had been staying, he was shot and seriously wounded.

That claim kicked off a years-long legal battle while Khadr was detained indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay and tortured.

He pleaded guilty in 2010 to five war crimes, including the murder of U.S. special forces soldier Christopher Speer, before a widely disparaged U.S. military commission in Guantanamo Bay.

As part of the plea deal in which he gave up his right to appeal, the court sentenced him to eight more years rather than to the jury-recommended 40 years.

“Khadr waited for years after theconvening authority’s action to challenge his guilty plea and appellate waiver,” the government said.

“He took no action until after he had pocketed the agreement’s benefits, received his 32-year sentence reduction and transfer to Canada, and was beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts.”

Myls Dobson, 4, died after being beaten, burned and starved in her care, prosecutors say

The medical examiner concluded that Myls died from "child abuse syndrome including dehydration"

A caretaker who allegedly inflicted "unimaginable pain" in the final weeks of a 4-year-old boy's life has been indicted on a murder charge in his death, prosecutors said Thursday.

The second-degree murder indictment against Kryzie King, 27, comes five months after she allegedly beat and tortured little Myls Dobson while the boy was in her care in a Manhattan apartment, prosecutors said. She pleaded not guilty during an arraignment Thursday, according to District Attorney Cyrus Vance.

The murder charge was added after the medical examiner's office concluded in April that Myls died from "child abuse syndrome including dehydration," said Julie Bolcer, spokeswoman forthe New York City medical examiner's office. The manner of death was homicide.

"Myls Dobson was forced to suffer unimaginable pain in the last weeks of his short life," Vance said in a statement.

According to the indictment, King "repeatedly assaulted (Dobson), including binding his hands and feet, striking him with an electrical cord and belt buckle, locking him outside on a patio in record low temperatures, and burning him with a hot oven rack."

Myls died January 8 after his father, Okee Wade, left the boy in King's care before Wade went to jail in connection with a fraud case, police said.

King told investigators she starved, beat and burned the boy before his death, according to a criminal complaint.

On the day Myls died, King called 911 after allegedly assaulting him.


When police arrived, they found Myls unconscious and unresponsive on the floor of a bathroom at King's apartment at the Ritz Plaza, a luxury high-rise in the Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan.

Myls was later pronounced dead at St. Luke's Hospital.

In January, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the court that Myls was a happy, healthy, well-nourished little boy when he arrived at King's home in mid-December 2013. But when police found Myls in her apartment, the prosecutor said, his body was burned, bruised and cut from head to toe.

In addition to second-degree murder, King is also charged with assault in the first degree, attempted assault in the first degree and assault in the second degree.

King was remanded until her next court hearing scheduled for September 17.

A review ofthe case later found that New York City child welfare caseworkers visited the boy's home nine times without even realizing that his father was in jail, city officials said.

Wade, 37, who has an extensive criminal record, was awarded custody of his son in August 2012 on the condition that the city's Administration for Children's Services check up on the child for a year and contact the father's parole officer.

Caseworkers, however, never consulted the parole officer and never learned that Wade was jailed during their visits to the Brooklyn apartment where he was staying with his son, according to a review of the case ordered by Mayor Bill de Blasio. His partner at the time told caseworkers that he was working. At the time, Myls was staying with King.

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told me, "The centerpiece of President Obama's climate plan is a declaration of all-out war on coal. The only affordable way to reduce emissions from existing coal-fired power plants - which now provide 40 percent of the nation's electricity - is to close them down."

Obama's plan has political implications as well, Ebell said. "Coal dominates the heartland states that tend to vote Republican. Major industries are located there because coal produces cheap electricity. If electric rates go up to California levels in the heartland, where will American manufacturing go?"

Ebell added that "Obama is pursuing his anti-energy agenda undemocratically through executive actions that bypass thepeople's elected representatives in Congress."

Autocrat Obama is also doing it without learning from the European Union's green energy experience: skyrocketing energy prices, a ruinous slide into fuel poverty, solar panel financial meltdown, wind power bankruptcies and the specter of EU disintegration. As a result, the EU suffered an outbreak of realism.

In May, Europe's heads of state and government at the EU Summit promoted shale gas and reduced energy prices. They would rather promote competition than stop global warming.

Obama just returned from Northern Ireland at the G8 meeting where he evidently didn't ask why the United Kingdom removed climate change from the agenda.

European carbon markets had collapsed with the price of carbon hitting record lows, wrecking the European Union's trading scheme for industrial CO2 emissions.

Large German companies such as Siemens and Bosch abandoned the solar industry, which had lost them billions, while investments in failed solar companies, including Q-Cells and SolarWorld, destroyed 21 billion euros of capital.

In response, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a June energy conference in Berlin to expect reduced government spending on energy like wind and solar power to keep Germany economically competitive. Europe's clean energy economy had become a black hole eating euros.

Last week, Merkel's government warned EU member states that German car makers would shut down production in their countries unless they support more affordable vehicle emissions rules.

At the same time, our oblivious president spoke at Berlin'sBrandenburg Gate, saying, "The United States will "do more," before it's "too late" to prevent "dangerous" global warming.

The tepid crowd of Berliners seemed to wonder what cave he'd been living in. The London Telegraph ran headlines saying, "Barack Obama bombs in Berlin: a weak, underwhelming address from a floundering president."

Now the president is pulling America into the same climate pit. Mr. President, stop acting like the Sierra Club's sock puppet.

PlayStation have released a few videos for some of the creatures that players will discover when they explore the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. First up is the Snapjaw

An acquisition-class machine, the Snapmaw is frequently found basking in or near bodies of water, where it gathers valuable minerals from the sediment. It can move with surprising ferocity when alerted, lashing out with an array of melee attacks that include powerful lunge bites and tail swipes. For ranged attacks, it fires off cryo mortars that freeze the target on impact.

Next up is the one people will likely know the best, if not by name at least, the Thunderjaw.

Summer days

Summer is in full swing. The days are full of activities, some kids are finding lots and lots of time to read, and others have days so full that they just fall into bed hours past their regular bedtime. I try to encourage my kids to read during the summer, but I also try not to stress about it.

The summer my middle daughter finished kindergarten, she was determined to read by herself. She spent hours looking at books, and basically taught herself how to read. She went from reading books with a few lines on each page to reading short chapter books - all within the space of a few months. Was it because I told her to? Not at all. It was something


within her. She was driven by her own motivation. That was a huge factor, but it was also the time during the summer when she wasn't dealing with school or other types of learning. She had the mental space to focus on learning to read.

This same daughter is now almost 9, and she has only read one full chapter book this summer. She's listened to a favorite audiobook about three times over, and she's started about five books, but she just isn't reading as much this summer. She's busier with summer activities, as a family we've been busier, and she just isn't driven the same way she was when she was younger. I am convinced that kids learn in leaps and then plateau or stay at the sameHufnagel's early lunch break draws criticism

The classic CFL moment of the offseason has to go to Calgary Stampeders’ head coach John Hufnagel.

Rather than waiting stoically through an awards luncheon in which everyone knew that another man would be picking up the Annis Stukus Trophy — the Argos’ Scott Milanovich, predictably, was named the league’s coach of the year — Hufnagel got up and abruptly left the proceedings at the Delta Hotel in Regina.

Apparently, he had a plane to catch.

But don’t laugh. Getting in and out of Regina has to be a considered strategy for any traveler, given the size of aircraft that service the city and the infrequency of flights to the Queen City of the Prairies.

Hufnagel, a man of direct action, apparently was sticking to his personal


schedule today was very tight and I had to make the difficult decision to depart before the very end. I sincerely thank the Canadian Football League and Commissioner Mark Cohon for hosting such a wonderful event and was honoured to be in attendance.”

Hufnagel, 61, is not one given to small talk, and he appears to have very little patience with some of the niceties of human interaction. He can be brutally honest, prickly, even intimidating, the Harry Truman of the CFL.

His intolerance for idle conversation and rambling talk isn’t helped by his hearing impairment, which appears to be getting worse.

During the 2012 Grey Cup coaches’ media conference in Toronto, Hufnagel drew some unintentional twittering from his audience when he appeared not to hear a question, as if hewas trying to be funny or deliberately evasive. He did, in fact, handle the whole situation with grace, inner iron and remarkable eloquence, given his physical frustration and the revealing nature of his weakness.

Later, Huf fretted that he had come off looking like a disappointment to the mass interview room full of national media, when the very opposite was true. He was brave and quick-witted, even if a number of questions had to be repeated by an aide at close range.

Prior to Thursday’s coach of the year luncheon, Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald spelled out the case for Hufnagel as coach of the year.

Actually, it was Stampeder quarterback Drew Tate, in conversation with Hall, who proposed that his coach should be the obvious winner, given the difficulties


was Milanovich, another rookie head man, in a landslide. He was awarded 34 of the 45 first-place votes by the Football Reporters of Canada.

For the record, voting for coach of the year is done well after the season ends to create CFL media and fan interest in a fallow time of the year. The championship game is still somewhat fresh in memory, unlike the long process of getting there, resulting in a skewed but perfectly understandable bias toward the Grey Cup winner.

“I think we were the youngest team, and I think a good 40 to 60 per cent of the media people had us missing the playoffs out of the West,” Stampeder offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson told the Herald. “And then we lose our starting quarterback (Tate, separated"Happy Bhag Jayegi" is an approaching Indian enchanting comedy movie starring Abhay Deol and also Diana Penty in lead roles.

9, in the caption. A teaser for Thursday's event, the photo appeared to hint that Bezos' announcement would focus on sending cargo and even astronauts to the south pole of the moon. That's because Shackelton lends his name to a crater on the moon's surface, which NASA named after the explorer in 2006 due to its potential as a lunar outpost. Located at the moon's south pole, the Shackleton crater is believed by many to have deposits of frozen water.

Bezos offered only few details two years ago about Blue Origin's lunar ambitions. In a program the company called "Blue Moon," it would send a couple tons of cargo to the surface of the moon, to begin building the infrastructure of a lunar base. The first mission was proposedfor 2020, in patnership with government programs like the Boeing-built NASA Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. But in May of last year, Bezos indicated Blue Origin may develop Blue Moon on its own.

Vice President Mike Pence earlier this year directed NASA to return U.S. astronauts to the surface of the moon within the next five years. NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine answered by saying the agency will meet the White House's directive, which represents an acceleration of NASA's existing lunar exploration timeline. NASA's fiscal 2020 budget request increased a massive increase in funding of the the Advanced Cislunar and Surface Capabilities (ACSC) program. Under ACSC, the agency would first send robots to the surface without crews, later following up with astronauts. Despite internal hesitancy, NASA is considering commercial alternatives


such as Blue Origin for getting astronauts to the moon's surface.

Blue Origin's most visible program has been its New Shepard rocket system, which the company is developing to send tourists to the edge of space for 10 minutes. New Shepard has flown on 11 test flights, with its capsule, built to carry six passengers, reaching an altitude of more than 350,000. The capsule features massive windows, providing expansive views of the Earth once in space.

The company plans to send its first humans onboard a New Shepard rocket sometime in the next year. But it has yet to begin selling tickets. Blue Origin told CNBC last year that it will only offer tourists a ride to space "after our first human flights."

Additionally, New Shepard has served as a testbed for the company to develop its own reusability system. Like SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, the largest part of the New Shepard rocket -- the first stage "booster" — comes back and lands on a concrete pad shortly after launch.

Reusing rockets is a key development in the space industry as companies look to reduce the cost of sending humans, satellites, experiments and more to space. Blue Origin is building an immense rocket system, called New Glenn. Similar to New Shepard, the company plans to land New Glenn's rocket booster on a ship in the ocean

Bezos' ultimate ambition is to help humanity expand across the solar system, with a human population of more than a trillion living and working in space. Morgan Stanley highlighted Bezos' investments in space as


Lee "Kuro" Seo-haeng is leaving Bilibili Gaming. The Korean Mid Laner's contract expires today and both parties mutually agreed that parting ways was for the best.

Kuro has been playing League of Legends competitively since 2013, but the 2019 season was his first outside of his home country of South Korea. Kuro signed a contract with BLG in December of 2018, and subsequently moved to China to play in the LPL.

BLG missed the 2019 LPL Spring Playoffs after a disappointing Spring Split, but redeemed itself next split and qualified for the LPL Summer Playoffs. Bilibili Gaming defeated EDward Gaming in the first round of the playoffs, but hit a wall against FunPlus PhoeniX and was eliminated in a 3-1 loss.

Kuro originally made a name for himself as a memberof the legendary Tigers lineup. Throughout two years of play and a myriad of sponsors, Kuro and the Tigers placed 1st in the LCK for four splits straight, qualified for four straight LCK Finals, a Worlds Final, and secured an LCK title in the lineup's final split playing together under the ROX banner.

Kuro spent the previous two seasons at his individual peak on Afreeca Freecs, but the team did not enjoy the same level of success as the Tigers. Afreeca qualified for the 2017 LCK Playoffs in both splits, but failed to make it past the first best-of-three round in both attempts. Afreeca improved in 2018, securing top 3 finishes in both Playoffs and qualified for Worlds 2018 as its region's #2 seed, but a shaky Group Stage

Parking in DC is very limited, and many of the roads in the city were closed off for these events. Therefore, car and bus access was maxed out. Most of the attendees were transported by car or bus to Metro stations outside of the city. At these stations, access is limited to the maximum possible occupancy of each railcar. Thousands of people stood for hours in interminably long lines trying to buy Metro tickets.We drove to the Vienna, VA station at the very end of the Metro Orange line. Arriving early in the morning, we got into line outside the station while it was still only a few hundred feet long. Behind us, it


grew further than the eye could see. Four lines of this size fed into the station entrances. Underneath the walkway, Interstate 66 was a virtual parking lot stretching over the horizon, a sea of vehicles attempting to get to the overflowing Metro parking lot. After about two hours, we made it to the ticket machines. There were five of them for the whole station. The one I attempted to use had run out of regular tickets, so I had to purchase day-passes. Once finally inside the Metrorail, people filled every square inch of space in each car. With human flesh packed so tightly together, it was a good thing we were all there to "restore honor".

Unfortunately for all of the people who had waited in line for hoursat the subsequent stations, there was no room in any of the passing trains. I observed one brief struggle break out during the trip. As the doors opened at one of the stops, a man was violently pushed into our car by the crowd of frustrated commuters behind him trying to get in. Since there was nowhere to go, he shouted in pain as he was crushed between two solid walls of humanity. The point of this is that DC is only capable of accommodating a finite number of people within any single day, and that maximum was attained on 8-28. My estimate is that at least one-third of the people waiting in the Metro station lines and stranded on the highways could not have made it there
