Three men are charged with kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and holding her hostage for several days while they repeatedly raped her and forced her to do drugs.

Superior Court Judge Raymond Clary set bond at $250,000 each for Curtis Burgett, 55, William Jackson, 42, and Harold Sherman, 59, on Thursday afternoon.

They stand accused of keeping the teenage girl in their respective apartments, often around piles of garbage and dirty clothes, where they injected her with meth and other drugs and repeatedly raped her. The complex, the Wolfe Apartments at 240 W. Sprague Ave., sits directly across the street from the downtown police precinct.

The complex made national news in 2003 for harboring sex offenders and wards of the state.

Court records say the girl went to police with her parents aftershe escaped and took a bus north along Division Street, where she camped with another male for a night in the woods. According to police, the girl ran away from home on April 1 because her “parents were fighting.”

The girl told officers that while she was sitting on a bench in River Park Square, she was approached by Jackson, who offered her beer and cigarettes. She then asked if he had a place to stay, which is when he took her to his apartment nearby.

She recognized the area, according to court records, because she would often receive counseling at neighboring Lutheran Community Services.

When she entered Jackson’s apartment building, she told officers, she saw a “bunch of people” in the hallway and “flickering lights” above. In his room, which


Sherman sexually assaulted her multiple times.

At one point during the time she was in the building, she said, Burgett told her that “if you tell anybody, I’m going to hurt you very badly.”

The girl told police that for three days, they forced her to “clean, cook and have sex with them” while not allowing her to sleep.

After escaping on April 3 while the three men were out at a food bank, court records say her parents took her to a hospital, where she was able to draw a sketch for police of the layouts of three rooms.

She also picked out the three men from a series of police photographs.

When detectives contacted the building’s manager, she said she was alerted to the presence of an underage female on AprilNow Commenting On:

Mets' victorious challenge takes Tejada off hook

5/16/14: A safe call at first base is challenged by the Mets and after review, the play is overturned and ruled an out in the 2nd inning

WASHINGTON -- Not only did the Mets win a replay challenge on Friday, they also wiped an error off the record books.

Manager Terry Collins' successful challenge in the second inning at Nationals Park took an error away from shortstop Ruben Tejada and erased Danny Espinosa from the basepaths.

Leading off the second, Espinosa hit a ground ball to shortstop, where Tejada fielded it and fired high to first. Lucas Duda jumped to catch Tejada's throw, attempting to swipe Espinosa with a tag as he ran by. But first-base umpire Ed Hickox ruled

Abstract

The paper describes the initial results from renewed investigations at Niah Cave in Sarawak on the island of Borneo, famous for the discovery in 1958 of the c. 40,000-year old 'Deep Skull'. The archaeological sequences from the West Mouth and the other entrances of the cave complex investigated by Tom and Barbara Harrisson and other researchers have potential implications for three major debates regarding the prehistory of south-east Asia: the timing of initial settlement by anatomically modern humans; the means by which they subsisted in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene; and the timing, nature, and causation of the transition from foraging to farming. The new project is informing on all three debates. The critical importance of the Niah stratigraphies was commonly identified - including by Tom HarrissonWho Was the Exceptionally Powerfully Built Viking Buried in the Gokstad Ship?

Ever since the publication of a scientific article in 1883, “everyone” has known that the skeleton found in the magnificent Gokstad ship in Eastern Norway belonged to Olaf Geirstad-Alf, the legendary Viking king of the House of Yngling. In recent years, however, research has shown that this must be wrong.

Dendrochronological datings show that the Gokstad ship was built about the year 890 AD, i.e. the height of Norwegian expansion in the British Isles, and in the year 901 it was buried in the so-called “King’s Mound” (Gokstad Mound)


in Vestfold, Eastern Norway.

The vessel that largely is constructed of oak is 23.22 meters (76.18 ft) long and 5.18 meters (17 ft) wide. On each side there are sixteen oar holes, and the ship was built to carry thirty-two oarsmen. With steersman (the ship’s owner) and lookout, the crew consisted of thirty-four people, but could carry a maximum of seventy men with some equipment.

The Gokstad ship was both flexible and fast with a top speed of more than 12 knots (14 mph) propelled by the sail of about 110 square meters (1,200 square feet). Recent tests have shown that the vessel worked very well with both sail and oars, and it may have been used for trade, Viking raids and explorations.

There have not been found any thwarts, andthe oars men probably have been sitting on chests that also contained their personal equipment.

Grave Findings

When the Gokstad ship was excavated, sixty-four shields were discovered (thirty-two on each side) and every second was painted in yellow and black. In the front part of the ship, there were discovered fragments of a white wool fabric with sewn red stripes that probably were parts of the sail.

Behind the mast, a burial chamber was discovered with the remains of a beautifully woven carpet decorating the walls. Inside the burial chamber, there was found a made bed containing the buried person.

In addition to the Gokstad ship itself, there were among other objects found a gaming board with gaming pieces made of horn, fish hooks, harness fittings of iron, lead and gilded bronze,


kitchenware, six beds, one tent, one sled and three smaller boats.

There were also discovered a large amount of animal bones that had belonged to twelve horses, eight dogs, two northern goshawks and two peacocks.

When the excavation took place in 1880, it soon became clear that parts of the grave goods had been plundered in ancient times: there were no jewelry or any precious metals in the grave, nor any weapons that in the Viking Age were an important part of a warrior’s grave goods preparing him for his journey to the Afterlife.

Just south of the Gokstad burial mound, a major trading center has recently been discovered. The items excavated tell different stories and document the close connection between Vestfold andthe rest of the world at the time.

Weights found in the trading center show that hectic trading activities took place at about the same time as the Gokstad ship burial.

Human Bones

In 2007, bones from a human skeleton found in the grave were thoroughly examined by Professor Per Holck at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo.

The examination proved that the bones had belonged to a man who died in his 40’s. He was between 178 (5ft 10 in) and 184 centimeters tall (6ft), something that was significantly taller than the average height of the period (165 cm / 5ft 5in) and the Viking was exceptionally powerfully built.

The man in the Gokstad ship grave has mainly eaten terrestrial food [food coming from land and not the sea,


particular Viking has had other cuts that did kill him, for example in the head (only parts of the skull was discovered).

Aiming for the enemy’s legs was a common fighting technique in the Middle Ages. The legs were not covered by chain mails and were vulnerable, a fact documented from many examples in Norse sagas.

Professor Holck concluded that there must have been at least two people, with three different weapons, who have killed the Gokstad man, and that the cuts indicate that he most likely was wearing armor and killed in battle.

Not King Olaf Geirstad-Alf

The theory that the skeleton from the Gokstad mound has belonged to Olaf Geirstad-Alf (Old Norse: Ólaf Geirstaða Álfr, the elf of Geirstad) was already described in a scientific article by anatomy professor Jacoband the rich discoveries, and how the person in the grave was killed – it is quite certain that this was a powerful and respected Viking warrior from Vestfold.

The peacocks discovered show that this was a man with an international network and that he did belong to the Norse upper class. Perhaps the birds were a gift from an English king, or trophies he brought back home from a Viking raid in Spain?

In Medieval Europe peacocks, a bird species originally brought back from Asia, were considered a symbol of power among kings and aristocrats.

Maybe the Gokstad man was a powerful Viking petty king, earl or chieftain who had accumulated enormous wealth abroad?

However, he may also have been an elite warrior, a berserker, one of the king’s loyal elite


soldiers who received the funeral he deserved when he was killed in battle.

If he was killed in Dublin, London, York– or in Novgorod (Russia), and was brought home to be buried, we do not know.

Either way – it is certain that the human bones buried in the Gokstad ship did not belong to King Olaf Geirstad-Alf.Running five years late, the project is expected to be complete in May 2023.

MPs heard the set, built in 1984, is "no longer fit for purpose" and the rebuild is "crucial to the future success of EastEnders".

A new external set is being built to "better reflect modern East End London".

The public accounts committee said: "The BBC has managed [the] project badly." It said it was "disappointed by the BBC's complacency in managing" the project, "particularly in its early stages".

The BBC "underestimated the scale and complexity of the project, including how it would age the new sets so that they either exactly replicate what viewers are used to, or look realistic where there are new locations".

The committee said:


"EastEnders is being outperformed by its soap rivals and its overall audience has reduced as fewer people watch traditional linear TV.

"Therefore it is important for EastEnders that the BBC completes E20 so that the programme is best placed to not only succeed but to also secure its long-term future."

A BBC spokesman said: "We welcome the committee's recognition of the importance of the E20 project.

"However, we strongly reject the notion that there has been any complacency."

Meanwhile, Lord Hall, the BBC director-general, will reveal plans on Wednesday night for a new, independent foundation to tackle "chronic under-reporting" of local news after talks with the Government, newspaper groups and big tech companies.An extra special thank you to our presenting sponsor MyFreeCams who helped make the event a great success!”

Situated 25 km north of Haridwar at an elevation of 356 m above sea level, Rishikesh is an ideal destination for adventure lovers, Hindu devotees and yoga enthusiasts. Situated at banks of river Ganges, Rishikesh attracts thousands of tourists every year. The name Rishikesh is loosely applied to an association of five distinct sections encompassing not only the town but also Kevin de Geus. These include Rishikesh itself, the commercial and communication hub; the sprawling suburb Muni-ki-Reti or the "sands of the sages"; Shivananda Nagar the home of Sivananda Ashram and the Divine Life Society founded by Swami Sivananda, north of Rishikesh; the temple section of Lakshman Jhula, a little further north; and the assorted Ashrams around Swarg Ashram on the east bank. One can reach the famousNeelakantha Maha Deva Temple from here. The Ganges Aarti performed at dusk at the Triveni Ghat is popular with visitors. 'Neelkanth Mahadev Temple', situated 28 km from Rishikesh, amidst forest is also a popular local pilgrimage, along with 'Vasishtha Guha', (Cave of sage Vasishtha), 21 km up from the town by the Ganges.

It is believed that when Raibhya Rishi did rigorous penances here, the God appeared to name the place as 'Hrishikesh' and subsequently the place came to be known as Rishikesh. Legends state that Lord Rama did penance here for killing Ravana, the demon king of Lanka; and Lakshmana, his younger brother, crossed the river Ganges, at a point, where the present 'Lakshman Jhula' bridge stands today, using a jute rope bridge. The 'Kedar Khand' of Skanda


Purana, also mentions the existence of Indrakund at this very point. The jute-rope bridge was replaced by iron-rope suspension bridge in 1889, and after it was washed away in the 1924 floods, it was replaced by a stronger present bridge.

There are several ancient temples and ashrams in Rishikesh which are associated with our mythological and historical background. A dip in the holy water of Ganges flowing from the river beaches of Rishikesh is capable of washing all the sins of a person. Rishikesh, sometimes nicknamed "the world capital of Yoga", has numerous yoga centers that also attract tourists. It is believed that meditation in Rishikesh brings one closer to attainment of Moksha, as does a dip in the holy river that flows through it.

Rishikesh is world famous foradventure activities like rafting, trekking, rock climbing, kayaking, mountaineering etc. Rafting season starts from the month of March and ends in September.

The Long Beach Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect wanted in connection with laundry room burglaries where the suspect removed coins from laundry machine coin boxes. Detectives believe, based on similar circumstances, that the suspect was involved in multiple burglaries from November 2013 to January 2015.

In the most recent incident, which occurred on January 3, 2015, around 9:00 a.m. in the 300 block of Gladys Avenue, a male suspect entered a multi-family residential laundry room and forced entry into a coin box in an attempt to remove the cash. In this instance, the box was empty, so the suspect left empty handed.

The suspect seen on surveillance video is described as: male, Hispanic, 30-40 years old,


Man who made empty Liberty Bell threat not from here

Bomb squad members investigate two backpacks after a man threatened to blow up the Liberty Bell on Saturday. No explosives were found, but police shut down Market Street, between 7th and 8th streets, much of the morning. (Jonathan Lai / Staff)

Posted: January 27, 2013

A man threatening to blow up the Liberty Bell was detained Saturday, police said, after leaving two backpacks nearby that he said contained explosives.

Police investigated and found no explosives.

The man was expected to be charged, Officer Christine O'Brien, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Police Department, said Saturday evening. He had not been identified as of late Saturday night.

A police source said the man was not from the Philadelphia area and didnot appear to have a criminal record.

Sometime before 10:45 a.m., National Park Service rangers stopped the man Saturday morning, after reports that he was threatening to blow up the Liberty Bell. The man also said he had explosives in his backpacks, O'Brien said.

Two black backpacks were found in front of the Liberty Wheels wheelchair and scooter rental shop at 714 Market Street, a half-block away.

Police arrived around 10:45 a.m. and closed off Market Street between 7th and 8th Streets.

Shortly after, a member of the Philadelphia Police Department's bomb squad unit began examining the backpacks. Other members of the unit arrived later, going back and forth between the bags and the testing equipment in their van. The results came back negative for hazards, a bomb squad officer said.

Market Street


reopened to pedestrians and traffic around 11:45 a.m. The Liberty Bell remained open throughout.

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives responded alongside Philadelphia police to assist the National Park Service at the scene.

The joint investigation is being carried out by the Philadelphia Police and FBI, confirmed Special Agent Frank Burton Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, because the Liberty Bell is a federal landmark.One day Samir Madani, a Kuwaiti oil trader living in Sweden, noticed something strange. He had always been captivated by oil and its influence on political relations, in peacetime and wartime, so much so that he created the website TankerTrackers.com.

Some might think that watching tankers is boring, given that they usually coast along predetermined routes. But in November 2017, Madani noticed that the oil tanker Valtamed, heading to the Suez Canal from the Turkish port of Ceyhan – which is supplied by the oil pipeline from the Kurdish areas of northern Iraq – suddenly stopped somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean, off Tel Aviv but outside Israel’s territorial borders, and turned off its identification transponder. When it “resurfaced” a few days later, it was lighter, Madani realized.

After mysteriously growing


1927. The field turned out to be one of the world’s largest, with low production costs, but the Kurdish oil still needed to be refined and reach the sea. In 1934 the British built a 950-kilometer pipeline to bring the oil to a refinery in Haifa, but the pipeline stopped operating once Israel was established in 1948. For years the oil from northern Iraq has been sold through a different pipeline, one going from Kirkuk to Ceyhan.

Everybody covets this black gold. It took a Kuwaiti observer in Sweden to figure out how Israel was getting it. TankerTrackers says a tanker called Kriti Diamond tends to suddenly assume a new identity – Kiton – offload oil in Israel and then resume its original identity before sailing back to Turkey.“It is with great pride that we present you the missing KRITI DIAMOND, currently operating under her new pseudonym: KITON,” the site tweeted on February 16.

Four days later, it was followed by another tweet: “The MARIKA/KRITI DIAMOND forgot to take off her disguise as KITON after leaving Ashkelon empty.”

TankerTrackers noticed that another crude oil tanker, the Mabrouk, left Ceyhan, assumed the disguise of Maro – an unknown, unregistered identity – near the Israeli shore, disappeared for a few days and then popped up again as the Mabrouk.

When asked for a response, Oil Refineries in Haifa and the Trans-Israel Pipeline company said they do not comment on commercial matters.

A 32-year-old pregnant woman was hospitalized after 42 days who missed menstruation and doctors found that her pregnancy required an abortion. The examination of color doppler ultrasonography showed an intrauterine early pregnancy with a pregnancy sac of 17 mm\*18 mm\*16 mm. The position of the pregnancy sac was biased towards the right corner and no germ was found. She asked for abortion. After admission, mifepristone and misoprostol were orally administered and the next morning the embryonic tissue was removed.

The gynecologic color ultrasonography showed the presence of a slightly strong echo area on the third day after the abortion, whose boundary was not defined, and the thickness of the echo area was approximately 13 mm in the uterine cavity. After the abortion, she recovered well, without

In one segment that has garnered particular outrage, 17-year-old Dylan Voller was shown being hooded and shackled to a chair, where he was left in solitary confinement for hours:

#4Corners: This is the chilling footage of Dylan Voller shackled into the mechanical chair for almost two hours https://t.co/RkkO7WF2kK — 4corners (@4corners) July 26, 2016

Voller and five other former inmates are now suing the Northern Territory government over their treatment while detained, according to the Guardian.

The ABC footage, in addition to documenting widespread abuses, also contradicted guards' prior testimony at several points. The Independent reports:

When six children were tear gassed at Don Dale in August 2014, government representatives said guards were forced to restrain them as they staged a riot and attempted to escape.But CCTV and videos taken by staff showed that only one boy had left his cell and was smashing a light fitting into walls and reinforced windows. The other five boys remained locked in their cells in the isolation wing when they were sprayed with tear gas at close range, with footage showing guards laughing as they coughed and screamed, with one saying he could not breathe.

Children's advocacy organization UNICEF Australia observed on Monday that the abuse of children documented by ABC "may amount to torture by the government responsible for their care."

"As a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child," the group added, "Australia must fulfill its promise: 'No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or


punishment...Every child deprived of liberty shall be treated with humanity and respect for the inherent dignity of the human person.'"

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has launched a federal inquiry into the abuse. Turnbull told reporters, "Like all Australians, we were shocked and appalled by the images of mistreatment of children at the detention center."

Yet the alarming footage was recorded between 2010 and 2015, leading some observers to say that in fact the abusive treatment of children was widely known and ignored by those in power. The Guardian reports:When Jeff Yeager's book "The Ultimate Cheapskate" came out 18 months ago, he felt like a voice crying in the wilderness telling people to ditch their cell phones, hoard their pennies and pay off the mortgage.

Now the Internet abounds with self-proclaimed penny-pinchers offering tips on living frugally as the recession bites into America's shop-'til-you-drop lifestyle.

The rise of thrift may be bad news for a US economy where in 2006 consumer spending accounted for 70 percent of gross domestic product.

"Cheap is the new cool," said Yeager, who also has a blog called "The Ultimate Cheapskate" offering advice on enjoying life more by spending less. An Internet search for "cheapskate" finds a string of similar blogs.

Housing Works president Richard Vorisek, who has worked in the fashion industry for 20 years at big brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, said sales so far in the financial year to July were up 10 percent, despite a fall in donated goods.

Housing Works, which specializes in second-hand designer merchandise, has nine stores in New York, including two that opened in the fashionable districts of Soho and Tribeca in the last four months, and it plans to open another in the fall.

"We'reLatino groups launch new drive to register voters

Today's events will take place in 17 states, 40 cities, including Houston

MARGARET COKER, Cox News Service

Published 5:30 am, Saturday, July 1, 2006

Latino rights groups today are kicking off their strategy to register new citizens and children of immigrants as voters in a bid to increase the community's political power in the fall elections and beyond.

Latinos are the nation's largest minority group, with 35.5 million citizens, and they represent the fastest growing bloc of voters. Traditionally, voter registration and election turnout rates among Latinos have lagged significantly below that of other ethnic groups, including blacks.

This year, community activists expect that to change because of the rallying cry of immigration.

Critics say that this would amount to amnesty for lawbreakers and instead have called for new laws declaring illegal immigrants felons.

The controversy has divided the Republican Party and frozen changes of passing immigration legislation in Congress, just as it has mobilized people across the nation.

With emotions running high about immigration, the numbers of potential voters could influence a large number of state races this fall, according to Latino activists. About 17 states are conducting gubernatorial races in 2006 in which the voting bloc represented by U.S.-born children of immigrants is large enough to swing the race, according to political analysts.

Although the origin of walnut is obscure, it is believed to have multiple centers of origin in the Carpathian Mountains, Transcaucasia, northeastern Turkey, northern Iran, the western Tien Shan Mountains, eastern Himalayas, and the Tibetan Plateau, where a primitive endemic walnut, *J. sigillata*, exists. However, Zohary et al. \[[@pone.0185974.ref036]\] proposed northeastern Turkey and the southern Caucasus as the plausible centers of walnut domestication with postglacial wild walnut in the Balkans and Central Europe representing feral derivatives introduced by humans as recently as the Bronze Age.

The current climatic model predicts a moderate to high rate of occurrence of walnut in the regions mainly between 30°N to 45°N latitude, and 20°E to 80°E longitude, comprising eastern Turkey bordering the Black Sea and western Iran, the Talysh region of Azerbaijan, southern Turkmenistan, western Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, southern Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, northern Afghanistan, northwestern Pakistan extending into southeastern regions, southcentral Tibet, and northeastern India. Parts of western and central Turkey, the Balkan Peninsula extending into eastern Greece and southern Bulgaria, southeastern Carpathians (Romania), and northeastern Danube region (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria), Spain, the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, western China (Xinjiang Province), parts of northern China borderingthe Hyrcanian and Colchic regions of the southern Caucasus including the Talysh and Alburz mountain ranges of Azerbaijan and Iran, Armenia and border areas of the Black Sea, showed relatively high rates of occurrence of walnut. However the entire Turkey, southern Balkans and eastern coastal regions of Adriatic Sea and in Central Asia, southern Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan down to Tajikistan, northeastern Afghanistan, and western Himalayan state of Kashmir extending up to southwestern Tibet exhibited moderate to low rates of occurrence. The LGM-MIROC model projected a similar distribution as LGM-CCSM, but regions of high relative occurrence concentrated in north eastern Pakistan, Tajikistan, northeastern Afghanistan, southern Turkmenistan on eastern coast of Caspian Sea, southwestern Balkans (southern Bulgaria), northwestern Turkey, north western coastal regions of the Adriatic Sea. Both CCSM and MIROC


models projected a moderate rate of occurrence of walnut in Xinjiang province of western China, low occurrence in central China and relatively high occurrence rate in the southeastern China (Fujian and Jiangxi provinces and neighboring areas), and somewhat fragmented distributions in northeastern India. There were regions of low occurrence in central China, but overall there was a reduction in the occurrence of walnut in East Asia during LGM, as compared to the present day distribution. The LIG projection indicated relatively high rates of occurrence in a narrow region comprising southern Iran and northwestern Pakistan extending into southern Afghanistan, tapering off eastward along the southern Himalayan foothills extending into Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan into Arunachal and north Assam. There was also a region of high occurrence in the northeastern andcentral regions of Xinjiang province. There was a narrow region of relatively high occurrence in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces. Surprisingly the southeastern region of high occurrence in China seen during LGM was not obvious during the LIG. Eastern Kazakhstan bordering the northern Caspian Sea showed a moderate rate of occurrence, while southeastern Turkey along Mediterranean coast, eastern coastal regions of Greece, Albania, and Montenegro showed high rates of occurrence. There was an incidence of extended low occurrence throughout Western Europe including Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium extending into Germany and Parts of the United Kingdom, except for a small northeastern region of Spain above Portugal showed high occurrence. Morocco along the Atlas Mountains showed moderate occurrence of walnut during the LIG.

Discussion {#sec013}
==========

The distribution and survival of trees during


probably survived in multiple refugia. The LIG prediction suggested that walnut perhaps had expanded distribution in southern Europe from the Iberian Peninsula through southern France, Italian Peninsula, Adriatic Coastal regions, Greece, the Caucasus, southern Black Sea regions of Turkey up on to southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, East Asia and scattered distribution in SW Asia. Palynological evidence confirms occurrence of walnut in many of these areas during the Quaternary period. However, a cautionary note on paleoreconstructions is that they only predict the potential climatic niche suitable for species and may not confirm actual existence of refugia.

Acceptance

Acceptance in human psychology is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. The concept is close in meaning to acquiescence, derived from the Latin acquiēscere (to find rest in).

Definition

The term acceptance is a noun with various different meanings. When the person to whom a proposal is made signifies their assent, it is an "acceptance" of their offer, also called an agreement. For example, if someone gives a gift and another receives it, then they have accepted the gift; therefore, having acceptance. Another definition of acceptance has to do with positive welcome and belonging, favor, and endorsement. For instance, one can like someone and accept them due toKozhikode are available always in year, routes and combinations.

[Samuel Johnson was born at Lichfield in 1709, and after a desultory education in various schools, entered at Pembroke College, Oxford, in 1728, but left in 1731, without taking his degree. After endeavouring for a time to gain his living as a schoolmaster, he came to London, and spent some years of exceeding hardship and direst poverty as a booksellers hack. In 1735 he published a translation of Lobos Voyage to Abyssinia, and for some time contributed to the pages of the Gentlemans Magazine, writing the Debates in the Senate of Lilliput, which were intended to represent the speeches actually delivered, but not then reported, in the House of Commons. In 1738 he published London, an imitation of the third Satire of Juvenal; in 1749, his second conspicuouspoem, The Vanity of Human Wishes, an imitation of the tenth Satire; and in the same year appeared Irene, a tragedy, which was brought out by his friend David Garrick, but was entirely unsuccessful. He had before this projected the Dictionary, the chief monument of that strenuous literary toil which he occasionally exerted, though naturally detesting it; and the work was accomplished in 1755. Meantime he had written the Rambler, a periodical series of essays from 1750 to 1752; had contributed to the Adventurer, and projected an edition of Shakespeare. In 1758 he wrote the Idler, another series of periodical essays; and in 1759, in feverish haste and under the pressure of poverty, he produced Rasselas. The grant of a pension of £300 a year soon after relieved


him of the burden of poverty: he had achieved the rank of undisputed dictator in the world of letters, not only by his wide, though discursive, learning, but also by the force of his imposing personality and his conversational supremacy; and he became more and more averse to labour, both from constitutional bias and social occupation. He intervened by many pamphlets in the political controversies of the day, and in 1780 completed the Lives of the Poets,that one of his works which has stirred most of controversy, and has at the same time compelled most of admiration; written with the ease and vigour of one who drew only from his own resources of wide reading, bold and incisive critical faculty, and abundant humour, and who scorned the humblermethods of careful and minute research. He died in London in 1784.]

JOHNSON stands out pre-eminently as the one man for whom biography has done more than she has done for any other. By her help he is no mere name in literary history, but a personal friend and acquaintance, whose strength and whose weakness we know by heart; whose picture is impressed upon us down to the smallest details with a vivid force. The powerful personality of the man, and the perfection of the portrait, have obscured the fame that properly belongs to him as an author; and the popular notion of his work is based upon little more than a superficial tradition, which is rarely corrected by any real familiarity with his writings. Johnson is conceived as


a man of a pedantic turn of mind, cumbrous in his ideas and inflated in his diction; the slave of convention, the enemy of humour, dictatorial in argument, without tolerance for the graces of simplicity, and lacking all keenness of critical insight. It would be hard to conceive any picture more unlike the truth. Johnson rightly despised the easy triumph of paradox and eccentricity. He sawjust as the best of the previous generation had seenthat excellence in literature must be based on form, and that its advances, to be sure, must be secured by rigid adherence to rule. The masters of English prose in the Augustan age had all of them protested against anarchy in literature, and with all their variety, they had been careful to claim forsentences in well-drilled parallels of antithetical clauses, when it has sprinkled the whole with sesquipedalian words, and given an air of pedantic solemnity to the treatment of the subject. This is to miss all that is really characteristic in Johnsons style. Our debt to him is twofold. In the first place, he preserved us against the inevitable triviality and feebleness that would have come from the imitation of Addisons prose by the ordinary writer, who had not the secret of Addisons genius. Had not such a dictator as Johnson arisen, English prose would inevitably have dwindled into decay, pleasing itself all the while with the fancy that it was repeating the subtle and inimitable achievements of the preceding generation. In the next place, he set a model which


entirely irrelevant digression. We have only to turn over a few pages of the Lives of the Poets to see how a stinging sarcasm no less than a touch of playful humour, is enhanced by the formal dignity of manner, and would have lost half its raciness if the ceremonial stateliness of phraseology were absent.

One of the secrets of Johnsons style is that it was hammered out upon the anvil of conversational combat. It was wrought into shape by no persevering and continuous labour. His work was done, all his life through, in those sudden starts by which he shook off the lethargy that burdened him, and toiled with fierce and untiring energy, with all the muscles of his mind strained to tensity. So it was with hisconversation and with the style that grew out of that conversational habit. All his thoughts turned upon questions of direct human interest, upon the science of character, and the casuistry of ethics. These were just the questions that rejected all technical terms, and Johnson is singularly free from technicalities: they were also the questions that admitted most variety of treatment, in regard to which Johnson might most readily alter his position with the ease of the intellectual athlete; which admitted of endless disputation, and in regard to which skilful argument, clear exposition, and ready epigram could best win a conversational triumph. Addisons style was conversational in its ease and its familiarity: Johnsons style has not the ease, but it has the force, the epigram, and the dialectical readiness


of successful conversation. We have his own account of it to Sir Joshua Reynolds: He told him that he had early laid it down as a rule to do his best on every occasion and in every company; to impart whatever he knew in the most forceful language he could put it in; and that, by constant practice, and never suffering any careless expression to escape him, or attempting to deliver his thoughts without arranging them in the clearest manner, it became habitual to him (BOSWELL).

Another characteristic of Johnsons work which largely affects his style, is its occasional calm and condescending frankness. It is not the frankness of a familiar friend. When he confesses to his dislike of tedious investigation and elaborate research, it is with the franknesswhich despises concealment, not with that which deprecates criticism or craves indulgence. When he draws aside the curtain and speaks of the loneliness and ill health and poverty under which he toiled, he gives the confidence with the air of one who defies sympathy, not with the humility of one who begs for pity. But in both cases, the effect on his style is the same, to increase the force of its dignified formality, which can on occasion be frank and even confidential, but which indicates clearly enough that he will neither welcome nor permit the slightest intrusion beyond the limits he has set to that confidence.

The first specimens of Johnsons original prose were the parliamentary debates (composed almost entirely according to his own notion of probabilities) which


he contributed to the Gentlemans Magazine. The Rambler was written in the midst of his most severe and prolonged toil, and under conditions of grinding poverty, and in point of style it has more than his usual stateliness, and less than his usual variety and humour. The Idler was written when he had escaped from the long burden of the Dictionary and was already a literary dictator, and its style is more varied by light and shade, more quickened by humour; but the weight of poverty still pressed him, and its sadness still hangs heavily over Rasselas, which was written in order to pay for his mothers funeral. It represents perhaps the best specimen of Johnsons more formal style. From first to last it has a strain ofmelancholy, relieved by few lighter touches; but its literary skill is seen in the perfect symmetry, and completeness of its construction, all the more remarkable because it wants beginning, and end, and story.

But Johnsons style is not seen in its richness and perfection, nor in its consummate ease, until we come to his last and greatest workthe Lives of the Poets. That was not begun until he was nearly seventy years of age. His time for careful and methodic labour was now past. His opinions were fixed, and he was not likely to examine or modify them. He was undisputed literary dictator, and indisposed to bend to others views. But all these circumstances contributed to the consummate literary qualities of the book. This is not the place either


prevail. Extensive evidence was admitted in the administrative hearing, including records from The Forum nursing home, where Mrs. Morris lived after leaving the hospital, testimony and records of her treating physician, and testimony of a physician retained by the Secretary. Based on this evidence, the Secretary could easily conclude that Mrs. Morris did not qualify for reimbursement of skilled nursing care or physical therapy under the regulations and that she was receiving and needed only custodial care at the Forum during the relevant period. The substantial evidence test is satisfied.

A top Vietnamese official has been sacked for "violations" while running national oil and gas firm PetroVietnam, in a rare public censure by the ruling Communist Party.

The government said on Sunday that Dinh La Thang, 57, was no longer part of the top decision-making Politburo.

Mr Thang's alleged misconduct was first leaked on social media last year.

His sacking comes amid a wider crackdown on PetroVietnam, the country's largest enterprise.

It is extremely uncommon for a Politburo member to lose their place in the one-party state. Since Vietnam started economic reforms in 1986, only two other Politburo members have been dismissed.

'Serious violations'

Mr Thang is said to have committed the violations between 2009 and 2011 while he was


chairman of PetroVietnam.

Last September, writer Huy Duc attacked Mr Thang on Facebook with articles accusing the politician of being responsible for a recent huge loss at PetroVietnam.

Although Huy Duc's articles, which seemed to be based on leaked documents, polarised public opinion on the internet, the issues he raised were not reported in state media.

In late April, the Central Inspection Committee, the top watchdog of the party, suddenly announced it had investigated and held Mr Thang responsible for "serious" violations at PetroVietnam.

The party's inspectors accused Mr Thang of allowing PetroVietnam to make loans to the local Ocean Bank that caused "serious losses" to the company.

They also said Mr Thang had advised the prime minister "to designate many bidding packages that failed to meet legal regulations".

Image copyright AFP/Getty Images Imagecaption PetroVietnam is the country's national oil and gas firm, and also its largest enterprise

On Sunday, a government statement said more than 90% of the party's central committee had voted to remove Mr Thang.

It said he had committed "serious violations in his leadership, command and staff works", which "hurt the Party's reputation" and caused "a loss of confidence" among people and party members.

Rising star

Mr Thang, a former transport minister, became a member of the new Politburo at the party congress last year and was made the party's chief of Ho Chi Minh City, the country's largest city and commercial hub formerly known as Saigon.

The party is expected to soon name a new party chief for the city, a position always held by a Politburo member.

He was catapulted into


political stardom for being unusually outspoken among normally reticent officials, and was known for his forthright rhetoric on state media.

His fall from grace follows other arrests at PetroVietnam and linked companies.

Another former PetroVietnam chairman was arrested in 2015 and later expelled from the Communist Party. Three other senior executives are also facing possible sanctions.

Last year four senior employees at a construction subsidiary of the firm were prosecuted for mismanagement that allegedly cost the company $150m (£116m).

Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong, who is effectively the most powerful man in Vietnam, is serving his second term. He has launched an anti-corruption campaign and has issued resolutions aimed at improving ethical conduct among party members.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Born in 1951, she hails from Kuala Pilah, a town in Malaysia’s southwestern state of Negeri Sembilan, and studied sociology and anthropology before taking a master’s degree in the United States.

FIRST LADY

In 1987, Rosmah married Najib, then Malaysia’s youth and sports minister, the second marriage for both. They have two children, and five stepchildren from earlier marriages.

Najib became prime minister in 2009.

In 2011, news of a division in the prime minister’s office devoted to the First Lady of Malaysia (FLOM) sparked anger from the opposition and public, prompting the removal of its website listing. The incident fed speculation that Rosmah’s role in government extended beyond being the prime minister’s wife.

After several months of discussion and research, Harvey County Commissioners gave Craig and Julie Miller the green light to operate a retreat/campground in an agricultural zoning district.

Last November, the Harvey County Regional Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals approved a conditional use permit for the Millers' property at 6608 N. River Park Road near Moundridge, but county commissioners thought the permit needed to be more restrictive to protect the land from unauthorized use in the future.

The Millers, who purchased the property in 2011, requested the permit in order to operate a retreat for those in the ministry who may need a chance to get away and seek physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Their plans for the 40+ acre-property include several cabins, a


multipurpose building, animal housing, picnic pavilions and bathhouse/restroom facilities.

The Harvey County Commissioners approved the permit at their Monday meeting, with the condition there be only four cabins on the property and only one permanent residence. Three of the cabins will be newly constructed, and the existing residence on the property will be converted to a larger cabin. Length of stay in the cabins will be limited to one month, unless the zoning administrator gives permission for a longer stay.

The water at the property must be tested for drinking suitability, and the Harvey County environmental director must approve the plan for the sewer.

The cabins will include bathrooms and kitchenettes. A multipurpose building could be used for small gatherings, such as wedding receptions, and the Millers also may set upOAKLAND, Calif.

NEW YORK -- The owner of a limousine company in the crash that killed 20 people was someone already familiar to law enforcement, but not in the way you might think. The company is owned by Pakistani immigrant Shahed Hussain, according to federal transportation records. Before the tragedy, authorities knew him best as a paid government informant in the investigation of domestic terrorist threats after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Hussain's company, Prestige Limousine, said Monday it is investigating what caused Saturday's crash in Schoharie, New York, and has met with state and federal authorities. A lawyer for the company wouldn't comment further.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that Prestige Limousine "has a lot of questions to answer" after the deadly crash. "In my opinion, the owner of thiscompany had no business putting a failed vehicle on the road," Cuomo said while attending a Columbus Day Parade in New York City.

Cuomo said the driver, Scott Lisinicchia, 53, didn't have the necessary commercial license and that the limo had been cut apart and lengthened in a way that violated federal law. He also said the vehicle failed a state inspection that examined such things as the chassis, suspension and brakes.

Debris scatters an area Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018, at the site of yesterday's fatal crash Schoharie, New York. AP

Twenty people were killed in Saturday's crash, including the driver and two pedestrians. Among the victims were four sisters and three of their husbands. They were celebrating one woman's 30th birthday, according to aunt


Barbara Douglas, who lost four nieces in the crash.

"They were wonderful girls. They would do anything for you and they were very close to each other and they loved their family," Douglas told CBS News.

In 2009, the government credited Hussain with rooting out radical Muslims in an elaborate sting at a mosque in Newburgh, a city north of New York. At trial, the jury heard testimony that Hussain was posing as a wealthy representative of a Pakistani terrorist organization.

He drove a BMW and other luxury vehicles provided by the FBI to maintain his cover. He also made hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes of the defendants picking targets for jihad and ranting against Jews. His cooperation resulted in the conviction of four men in a thwartedplot to attack synagogues and shoot down military planes.

But Hussain's work also came under attack by defense attorneys and civil liberties groups as entrapment. They portrayed him as a master manipulator who entrapped a crew of aimless nobodies while earning $96,000 for his work.

Even U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon said at sentencing that she was not proud of the government's role in the plot.

"I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that there would have been no crime here except the government instigated it, planned it and brought it to fruition," McMahon said. She added, "That does not mean there was no crime."

According to his own trial testimony, Hussain first entered the U.S. in Texas with his wife and two sons in the 1990s and went to Albany,


where he received asylum. In April 2003, he was working as a government translator when he pleaded guilty to a federal fraud charge for helping someone get their driver's license illegally.

He got a sentence that required no more jail time by working as an FBI informant.

Hussain was a central player in an FBI sting targeting an Albany pizza shop owner and an imam who were convicted of money laundering and conspiring to aid a terrorist group. Both defendants said they were tricked by Hussain during the sting, which involved a business loan using money from a fictitious missile sale.

More recently, a botched sting involving Hussain in Pittsburgh became the subject of a documentary called "(T)error." The target described on Facebook how after meeting the informant he had themore assertive, more determined to see the army play a role in making the peace. While he was discussing the Heads of the Proposals with the king at Woburn, others noticed that he was not inclined to negotiate. "Of all the army," said one of the king's advisers, Thomas "seemed the least to wish the accord."

The same adviser, John Berkeley, accused Thomas of presenting a distorted view of the negotiations to the army and of stirring up hostility toward the king "with all the artificial malice he had." That may be true: Thomas's republicanism was developing quickly over the summer of 1647. He was just as determined that a Presbyterian-controlled Parliament must be taught to do the army's bidding. When during a meeting with senior commanders Berkeley looked

It was a wet, miserable summer, punctuated by skirmishes and raids and random acts of savagery. After two troops of cavalry broke out one night and escaped by crossing the River Colne at the Middle Mill on the north side of the town, Thomas led his Tower Guards in a nighttime assault, surprising the guards and setting fire to the mill before being forced back across the river. The garrison was rattled, believing the raid to be the prelude to an all-out assault, but the cavalrymen still managed to save the mill by using their hats to scoop up water and hurl it at the flames.

REPORT ON THE BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONS OF THE BAPTISTS OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

On Sunday 13th March 2016, six different Baptist groups came together under the umbrella of the Gospel Baptists Association of Trinidad and Tobago (GBATT) to celebrate 200 years of Baptist presence and witness on the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad Baptists, with approximately 10,000 members in some 100 churches, trace their history back to 1816 with the arrival of a group of former slaves, former Marines and soldiers who fought on the side of the British during the American War of 1812-1814.

Featured Speaker at the Grand Thanksgiving Service was Former President and General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Trinidad and Tobago,


Former Caribbean Baptist Fellowship President and Commission member of the Baptist World Alliance, Rev. Dr. Victor Anthony “Ken” Cadette. He both inspired and informed the packed auditorium when he compared the journey of the former slaves who had become soldiers and saints, to the biblical journey of the Israelites who were slaves in Egypt. Just as they were set free and ‘crossed the Red Sea’ to the Promised Land so too the Baptists had been set free and ‘crossed the Caribbean Sea’ to their promised land. He further exhorted the large Baptist gathering that just as the early pioneers brought their faith and planted churches so too we today must be faithful in spreading the Gospel wherever we go.

Also in attendance were The Honourable Randall Mitchell, Minister ofPublic Administration in the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) government, The Mayor of San Fernando, Haji Kasim Hosein, Episcopal Bishop, His Lordship Rev Claude Berkley , Heads of various denominations including The Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies, The Open Bible Standard Churches, and the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. The Caribbean Baptist Fellowship (CBF) was represented by Vice President Mrs Bernadette Richards-Duncan and Mobiliser, Rev Brenda Kirton-Harewood.

The event took place at the beautiful and spacious Sundar Popo Buparlal Hall of the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) in San Fernando.

The Service started promptly at 3:00pm with the arrival of the Minister of Government and the Mayor. Following welcome remarks by Rev Anslem Warrick the Chairman of the Bicentennial Celebrations Committee and GBATT Director, the audience was ministered


to through a wonderful mix of positive messages in songs and dance, poetry and spoken word all reminding of our rich heritage and proud history.

Mr. David Kerrigan General Director of the BMS in his videotaped greeting celebrated the long and fruitful relations shared with the Trinidad Baptists reminding that even though the relationship had not always been smooth we still rejoiced in Gods faithfulness.

Dr Neville Callam General Secretary of the BWA in his written greetings called to mind and celebrated all the men and women who had laboured among the Trinidad Baptists including William Hamilton, Nelton Richardson, Beryl Saunders, Norris Ryan and former BWA Communications Director Wendy Ryan. He encouraged historians to write this celebrated history for posterity.

CBF Vice President Richards-Duncan brought greetings on behalf of the CBFa place of complete brokenness in order to be properly rebuilt for this current journey. I had to go through a period of disillusionment in order to understand and recognize the reality to which I truly deserved. The process was necessary. The transformation was necessary. The growth was necessary.

It was the worst of times, It was the best of times and now, it is my time.


stops his quest, as he loves his hen even more than he does money. He soon finds the hen in the outskirts of his lawn and he manages to fight his way through the Roosters and other foes to return the hen to her nest. It is there that she lays an egg. The Roosters are also notorious for being very protective of the hen, as they will charge at Wario when he is holding her, but otherwise only attack when attacked.

Game & Watch Gallery 4 Hen in

The hen reappears in the Modern version of the Game & Watch game Fire Attack in Game & Watch Gallery 4. In the game, the hen will climb up the stairs into Wario's house.If Wario stands behind the hen, she will lay an egg worth five points. If he attacks her, like the Bob-ombs that also climb up the stairs, she will not give him any points. She also appears in a sequence that appears if the player leaves the cursor inactive over Fire Attack during game selection: She is strutting around a Tomato field as Wario is tilling the land, but then flies away after seeing a Bob-omb roll towards Wario from behind, while Wario fails to notice and is sent flying by the explosion.

Thundershrike

A tremendous winged shadow falls from a huge raptor with a wingspan the length of four horses. Its ebon feathers gleam majestically, streaked with patterns of gray and brown. Its golden beak is tipped with white.

A thundershrike is an eagle-like raptor, perhaps in some way related to rocs, with a wingspan of upwards of 40 feet. Riding the winds with its massive wings spread wide, the thundershrike is thought by some cultures to be a herald of the gods of the thunderstorms. Thundershrikes are often found in the company of storm giants.

Thundershrikes get their name from their habit of taking to the air during powerful storms. Wind and rain follow the wings of a thundershrike. Often worshipped by barbarians and other wilderness dwellers, the thundershrikes are a proudspecies that view all that they survey as their territory. Although they keep their nests in isolated aeries in the high mountains, thundershrikes can range several hundred miles in search of food.

Thundershrikes mate for life, and females usually lay a clutch of 2d4 eggs in the spring. The eggs hatch in the late summer during the height of the storm season. Young remain in the nest for several months before venturing out on their own in the world.

Unless it is on the hunt, a thundershrike is content to ride the winds and generally leave other creatures alone. If hunting, the thundershrike attacks any creature of Large or smaller size that appears tasty.

A thundershrike opens combat with its lightning bolts before swooping or diving at a foe. It rarely


"any action or proceeding concerning arbitrability, including motions to compel or to stay arbitration, may be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in the City, County, and State of New York."
The insureds do not dispute that they executed each of the payment agreements, including all schedules and addenda. For its part, National Union does not dispute that the payment agreements were not attached to the policies and, in fact, were usually issued months after the policies.
In each of the above-entitled actions, a dispute arose between the insureds and National Union when the insureds defaulted on the payment agreements, and National Union demanded arbitration under those agreements. In each case, the insureds resisted arbitration by challenging, among other things, the payment agreements' arbitration clauses, arguing that theyinstituting enforcement actions against insurers who failed to heed its February 2011 directive. One action in particular (In the Matter of the Licenses and Licensing Rights of Zurich American Insurance Company and Zurich American Insurance Company of Illinois, File No. DISP-2011-00811) [the Zurich Action], involved Zurich American Insurance Company's insurance of six consecutive years of workers' compensation policies and payment agreements to one of its insureds.
By order to show cause, filed on February 27, 2012, the CDI argued in the Zurich Action that Zurich American should have filed the agreements with California's insurance regulators because the agreements referred to, modified and superseded the underlying policies. The CDI argued further that, because the agreements had not been filed, they were unenforceable, and it sought an order from the Insurance


Commissioner to that effect. Zurich American responded that the payment agreements were neither policies nor endorsements; rather, they were "non-policy" financial agreements that in no way modified the insurance policies.
On July 11, 2013, the CDI finalized a settlement with Zurich. The settlement stated that Zurich's payment agreements were to be filed with the CDI and the WCIRB, starting from the date of the settlement forward. For its part, Zurich agreed that, as of the settlement date, it would file the documents and comply with the relevant statutes — namely, California Insurance Code § 11658, and CCR, Title 10, §§ 2216 and 2268. The CDI settlement also states, "The [California] Department of Insurance further agrees that its rules and requirements regarding Deductible Agreements would be applied evenly to Zurich(one paper) of the Supreme Court, New York County (Shirley Werner Kornreich, J.), entered on or about April 18, 2012, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, granted the petition by National Union to compel arbitration, should be reversed, on the law, without costs, and the petition denied. The order of the Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen Bransten, J.), entered July 30, 2012, which, insofar as appealed from as limited by the briefs, denied the amended petition by petitioner National Union to compel arbitration, should be affirmed, without costs.

Publishers Weekly reports that Simon & Schuster will pick up the paperback rights to Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo, by Obert Skye, and future books in this series. According to the magazine article, the book has sold 60,000 hardcover copies despite its publisher, Shadow Mountain, suffering "distribution glitches."

Shadow Mountain is an imprint of Deseret Books designed to focus on the "values-based, general market." Deseret Books, in turn, is "a wholly owned subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation, the holding company for business firms owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." All of its books, the company website says, "reflect the values espoused by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." So the Leven Thumps series is at bottom a Mormon answerin the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, and was the editor of Oziana, creative magazine of the International Wizard of Oz Club, from 2004 to 2010.

of choking sound.

"You okay?" Chess asked.

"Getting a beer!"

"Can you get me some white wine? There's an open bottle in the fridge."

He made that choking sound again. But he did get her a glass of wine. And they read the book together. Will didn't think the book was funny either. But both Will and Chess thought it was interesting that everybody else thought it was so funny.

Marriage Means In-Laws

Jane liked to come over several times a week. Sometimes twice in one day. She had her own set of keys and habitually left little presents behind, like a bowl of fruit or cupcakes from her favorite bakery. Once, even a whole set of towels, Egyptian cotton, 28 ounces. Chess wasn't comfortable with the situation but Will wanted Jane to haveon it, along with a mountain of sweet potato fries, which Jane adored. Jane had also requested cream soda. Chess added two giant chunks of brownies.

The hamburgers were so thick with filling, an avalanche of goo fell out with every bite. Jane laughed giddily as she ate. She could only eat a quarter of it, and the cream soda made her hiccup. But she insisted on nibbling a small piece of brownie for dessert.

Jane and Chess sat in the living room with their brownies. Outside, the hummingbirds were fighting over the feeders.

"I didn't realize hummingbirds were so vicious," Chess said, impressed by the high-speed assaults.

"Oh, the stories I could tell! Sometimes, they really get into a punch-up and start slamming each other against the windows! I once saw


feel this way. It's horrible, feeling this way."

Chess sat with Akara until Jane came home. Jane hoped that Akara would make a quick recovery, that her family would be able to help her. But a month later the family came and took all of Akara's things with them. They were going to send her away, to stay with relatives in France. Jane had lost her roommate. And a family.

"I suppose it had to end," Jane said stoically. "They won't even let me talk to her. Or even write to her."

Soon after Jane had lost Akara, Jane made an uncharacteristically impetuous decision to sell her house. Jane had gone to an open house for a new residential complex. Thirty modern condos surrounding a landscaped courtyard.

The event is the traditional curtain-raiser for the Nordic season, with the first World Cup competitions presented by Viessmann in Cross-Country Skiing and Nordic Combined, while men’s Ski Jumping will make its second stop following its opening last weekend in Wisla (POL).

Organisers have confirmed snow conditions in Ruka are ideal ahead of the events.

In total, eleven World Cup competitions, six in Cross-Country, two in Ski Jumping and three in Nordic Combined will be held at the Nordic arena, with more than 25,000 spectators expected in northern Finland.

Both Cross-Country and Nordic Combined will hold stage competitions which will crown the best athlete at


the end of the weekend.

In Nordic Combined, this ‘mini-tour’ is a new element, which will see all athletes take part in each of the three competitions, differing from the Triple format in which athletes are eliminated from day to day. The standings will be driven by World Cup points, with the athlete with the highest total on the third day earning the overall victory.

In Cross-Country Skiing, winning in Ruka looks like a good thing as the last five winners of the opening weekend won the Overall World Cup at the end of the season.

In Nordic Combined, Ruka will see the much anticipated World Cup return of French superstar Jason Lamy Chappuis. It also marks the continuation of Finnish legend’s Hannu Manninen’s comeback, who will make one last Olympicamount of car parks ...

However, Thomas Cook Sport said an “administrativeerror with a third party” had delayed the flight. The travel company arranged for a flight to depart to Abu Dhabi on Monday morning. City’s aircraft from the UK is operated by Aeronexus, which reportedly had not obtained the necessary permissions to fly in Chinese airspace. In any case, Etihad stepped in to help City complete their journey via Abu Dhabi by organising the charter of a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

Etihad said it "worked around the clock to gain necessary approvals and permissions to charter a flight from Abu Dhabi to Shanghai to ensure the players would arrive in time for their first Premier League Asia Trophy match".

"In just over 24 hours, Etihad mobilised its operational team on Sunday morning to obtain the necessary foreign regulatory approvals" for the


charter. “In record time, Etihad secured an aircraft, allocated available crew and loaded specially requested catering requirement”. The 787 is configured with 299 seats, including 28 in business class - enough for each squad member plus Guardiola. Assistant manager Mikel Arteta and the rest of the group will probably have to make do with one of the 271 economy seats. The passengers arrived from Manchester at about 10.30pm, with the team then departing for China at about midnight, Etihad said, giving it a tight window within which to enable the connection for the team.

Thomas Cook Sport describes itself as Europe’s leading sports travel company and provides packages for fans of football, cricket, Rugby and Formula 1. In 2017, it became City’s official supplier of supporter travel services.

City are due to take part in the pre-season competition, with the first match against West Ham on Wednesday at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre. The London side arrived in Shanghai on Sunday and took a bullet train on to Nanjing. The journey time by rail is typically an hour and a half to two hours.

Founded almost twenty years ago, Aeronexus, which was originally booked to fly the team out to China, describes itself on twitter as “a boutique airline operating exclusive worldwide aircraft charter with [Boeing]


767 VIP aircraft with 96 first class lie flat seats”. The South African firm flew both Liverpool and Chelsea to their respective destinations in Madrid and Baku for the end of season European finals.

Alongside City and West Ham, Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also competing in the biennial Premier League Asia Trophy tournament. After China, City have matches planned in Hong Kong and Japan.

Park Shi Yeon

Park Shi Yeon (born Park Mi Seon) is a South Korean actress. She joined the Miss Korea pageant in 2000, and using that as a springboard to an acting career, made her acting debut in China in 2004, appearing in minor roles in several CCTV dramas. In 2005 she was cast in her first starring role in the Korean drama "My Girl", though at the time she was more known for dating Shinhwa's leader, idol turned actor Eric Mun.
As she built her filmography in the following years, Park overcame early criticism of her acting skills and eventually gained respect as an actress in TV series such as "La Dolce Vita", "Coffee House" and "The Innocent Man", as well as the films "The Fox Family", "A Love",and "The Scent".
In 2011 Park married Park Sang Hun, an office worker at a small company four years her senior. She gave birth to their first child, a daughter, in 2013.
In early 2013, Park was among the celebrities investigated then indicted for illegal use of propofol; Park's agency denied the allegations, saying she took the drug for medical reasons after she injured her back doing action scenes for the films Marine Boy and Dachimawa Lee. In 2013, the Seoul Central District Court found Park guilty of taking propofol 400-500 times over four-and-a-half years (or 8.2 times a month), and she was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years.
In 2015, she made her Hollywood debut in the action film "Last Knights," which was set in medieval


times. Her "Last Knights" co-stars included Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman, as well as Korean actor Ahn Sung Ki.
On September 4th, 2015, Her Agency Mystic Enterteiment's CEO, confirmed that Si Yeon is expecting her second child and is currently in her 7th month of pregnancy.Ricky Gervais In Talks For Lead Role In THE MUPPETS Sequel

Brilliant British comedian and actor Ricky Gervais is reportedly in talks to join the cast of James Bobin's highly anticipated sequel to 2011's The Muppets in the lead human role. Hit the jump for a few more details!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ricky Gervais is closing in on a deal to star in the sequel to The Muppets. While Modern Family star Ty Burrell has already signed up to play "a lazy Interpol inspector", it's thought that Gervais' role will be as the lead human character and similar in scale to that of Jason Segal's in the first instalment of the rejuvenated Disney franchise.

Poetry

Crabbe's poetry was predominantly in the form of heroic couplets, and has been described as unsentimental in its depiction of provincial life and society. John Wilson wrote that "Crabbe is confessedly the most original and vivid painter of the vast varieties of common life that England has ever produced;" and that "In all the poetry of this extraordinary man, we see a constant display of the passions as they are excited and exacerbated by the customs, laws, and institutions of society." The Cambridge History of English LiteratureOn July 31 at dawn, Israeli soldiers abducted the coordinator of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), Dr Moayad Ahmad Bisharat, from his home. The UAWC is, “a Palestinian grassroots organization that organizes Palestinian farmers to defend their land and develop their products.” Following the abduction of Dr. Bisharat, Israeli forces raided the UAWC’s Jericho offices, confiscating computers, laptops, and files from the organization. These actions follow the July 26th abductions of Fuad Abu Saif, the UAWC’s Director of Development and Operations, and the July 16th abduction of the director of the UAWC’s Jericho office, Mohammad Nujoom. In addition to these abductions, “UAWC Board Member Ahmad Soufan, held in administrative detention for one year, was recently ordered into a third term of six months in arbitrary administrative


detention without charge or trial.” This renewal of his administrative detention is in direct violation of the agreement signed by Israel with Palestinian prisoners this May.

Hassan Safadi is currently on day 71 of a hunger strike in protest of his renewed administrative detention order. Last night, at 3AM, Hassan Safadi’s home in the West Bank was raided by Israeli forces who abducted his 30 year old brother Saleh. His mother, who suffers from chronic conditions, was released from the hospital yesterday to find both of her sons imprisoned without charge by the Israelis.

There are currently 4,660 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails.
