Nolan said, "The president needs to man up, find out who was responsible, and fire them." He did not name anyone.

Obama says he's as frustrated as anyone and has promised a "tech surge" to fix the balky HealthCare.gov website.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters that "the whole threat of Obamacare" continues "to hang over our economy like a wet blanket."

"More Americans are going to lose their health insurance than are going to sign up at these exchanges," Boehner said.

“Broadsheets were the Buzzfeeds of their day.”

In part, their passion stemmed from a collector’s fascination with such topics, but Germany’s 16th-century Protestants were also motivated by religious antipathy toward the Catholic Church, whose Pope they derided as the Antichrist. Some took the epithet for fact: For them, since the end was nigh, it behooved one to pay attention to the signs.

As Joshua Waterman of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg writes in the Taschen book, which includes a facsimile of the circa-1552 gouaches and watercolors in the Augsburg manuscript, “The late fifteenth century had witnessed a surge of interest in miraculous signs which steadily increased in the decades that followed, ultimately reaching a high point toward the end of the sixteenth century, especially in Protestant territories. Thiseach of you has in his tent.”

The presence of so much printed paper in Augsburg was also not accidental. The city was a printing center, located just a few hundred miles south of Mainz, where Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the mid-15th century. Broadsheets were the Buzzfeeds of their day, featuring woodcut artwork and sensationalist headlines and text designed to capture the imagination of the common man.

The Augsburg book differs from the more common, almost scrapbook-like Books of Wonders in a number of key ways. First, it was commissioned from scratch rather than collected and amassed, although by whom we will probably never know. Second, while many of the images in “The Book of Miracles” were based on broadsheets and artwork by the likes of Hans


same as a 1545 version of Martin Luther’s translation of the Bible, which means this page, at least, is no older than that.

The “Book of Miracles” includes 26 examples of comets, including this one: “In the year 1007 A.D., a wondrous comet appeared. It gave off fire and flames in all directions. As it fell to Earth it was seen in Germany and Italy.”

On the pages that follow, we see Lot’s wife turned to a pillar of salt as Sodom and Gomorrah burn in the background, Moses parting the Red Sea, and a shower of manna from heaven, which Borchert says was probably an edible algae called crustose lichen, which grows on rocks and is sometimes lifted aloft by the wind.After the Bible stories, the book shifts gearsthe priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the LORD was upon him there."

Ezekiel 1:1-3: "In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin), the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the LORD was upon him there."

Genesis 19:24-26: "Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur and fire from the


LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot’s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."

Numbers 16:4-7: "When Moses heard it, he fell on his face, and he said to Korah and all his company, 'In the morning the LORD will show who is his, and who is holy, and will bring him near to him. The one whom he chooses he will bring near to him. Do this: take censers, Korah and all his company; put fire in them and put incense on them before the LORD tomorrow, and the man whom the LORD chooses shall be the holy one. You have gonetoo far, sons of Levi!"”

"On the day after the death of Julius Caesar, three suns appeared in the East in the early morning sky which then moved towards each other so that they merged into one. Also at that time, an ox on the outskirts of Rome asked a farmer why he was working so hard, since before very long there would be more of a shortage of people than of grain."

"In the year 1173 A.D., three suns were seen in the west in the month of September, when the sun was about to set. And after two hours the outer two disappeared and the other one set after that."

"In the year 1506, a comet appeared for several nights and turned its tail towards Spain. In this year,


a lot of fruit grew and was completely destroyed by caterpillars or rats. This was followed by an earthquake in the eighth and ninth year in this country and in Italy, so great and violent that in Constantinople a great many buildings were knocked down and people perished."

"In the year 1531, on the twenty-sixth and the twenty-eighth of January, bloody and fiery signs were seen at night in the sky in Lisbon in Portugal on the twenty-sixth day and then on the twenty-eighth a great whale was seen in the sky. This was followed by great earthquakes, so that about two hundred houses collapsed and more than a thousand people were killed."

the power to create..." GUYS, I SAID TREE MAIL!!!

Oops. Sorry Edna. We have to cut this short. Uh, good luck and don't let the man get you down or whatever. It's Sprint family phone time!

The tribe pushes dust particle Edna into the ground where she gets lost in a pile of leaves and rush to surround the new Sprint phone. As I am not on Sprint's payroll, that's the last you'll hear about them from me. With a few pushes of some buttons, we see glimpses of Rancher Rick's cowgirl, Edna's nano-sister, Sophie's dad, Albert's mom, Coach's brother, and Brandon's father. We'll see more of these strangers later, but, for now, it's time to duel.

It's a duel of opposites. On one side we have sexually potent Ozzy who'simpregnated every crab from here to Seoul and on the other side we have a spindly fop who's probably allergic to wheat. For today's duel, Survivors will use grappling hooks to retrieve three bags. Each bag contains a ball and when all the bags have been retrieved, you'll use one of those balls to solve a table maze. The winner stays alive while the loser is out of the game for good. Survivors ready, go.

The challenge begins as Cochran grapples his own foot and dangerously wraps the rope around his own neck. Meanwhile, Ozzy throws with precision and starts reeling in bag after bag after bag. Sensing Cochran's struggle, Albert shouts pointers from the rafters and our ginger underdog begins to make some headway. Nails in mouth and


before. When that Mathlete was found behind the gym with a black eye and his underwear over his head, when the choir girl had her maidenhead stolen away after the Christmas pageant, and when the neighbors Yorkie turned up pawless that one time... Shawn did what any dad would do. He greased some palms, kept it out of the court system, and shipped Brandon off to yet another high school.

But here, out on an island in the South Pacific, there are no other high schools! This is it. Not only is Brandon wasting the opportunity of a lifetime, but now he's a Calvinist to boot! "Everything is predestined, " he assures his father. Knowing his time is running out, Shawn kicks it into high gear and does whatdo all along. Like Cochran, she doesn't have strength on her side, but she has logic. The only problem is she spent a little too long wallowing around in all that self pity when she should have been planning her attack. Waiting until the 11th hour is cutting it a smidge close.

Coach is intrigued by everything Edna has to say, but for some reason the fear is that Brandon will go to Rhode Island and beat Ozzy. Really? That's the fear. Weird. So Edna continues her "Brandon Sucks" bar tour and now she makes her appeal to Albert and Sophie. She's making all of her bullet points, she's heavy handed with the "honor and integrity" arguments, cites Mikayla as a victim of Brandon's lunacy, and even offers to


my day.

Personally I didn't find Brandon's prayer circle nearly as creepy as when Coach ran his tribemates down after a win, screaming "kneel" at them as he forced them to their knees. That whole forced religion made my skin crawl. I think they really would all drink the kool-aid and thank him for giving it to them. Brandon thinking that he has the power to turn the world to Christ by throwing a reality game into a spin shows you what dehydration can do to an already shaky mind. He's even beginning to look like a rabid fanatic. His dad was surprising normal looking considering he's the brother of a troll and the sire of an idiot. If only Ranger Rick would grab his gonads as hard asdangerous compound into the already hazy air in a predominately black neighborhood in St. Louis.” The Local government was told it was an aerial smoke screen so the Russians could not view St Louis in case of attack.”

Lisa Martino Taylor, a sociology professor at St. Louis Community College began researching the operation when one of her colleagues who grew up in the targeted area wondered if the testing caused her cancer. That same day a second woman who grew up in the same area, said she too had gotten cancer. Martino-Taylor researched the project for her doctorate thesis at University of Missouri.

The sprayers released Zinc Cadmium Sulfide into the air, and Dr. Martino Taylor suggested they included radioactive particles in with the mixture, though there is no direct


evidence. In 1994 the testing in St. Louis was exposed to Congress with a demand for a health study. The study was sparse and relied on limited testing on animals. The conclusion is there were no adverse health effects.

The National Research Council recommended the U.S. Army perform a study to determine whether inhaled zinc cadmium sulfide breaks down into toxic compounds to be absorbed into the blood to produce toxicity in the organs.

The Army and Martino Taylor’s research did not reveal any additional studies nor has the Army responded to her.

The Plutonium Files-

Was the St. Louis project part of the Plutonium Files? The Plutonium Files began after the Manhattan Project and Martino Taylor believes the two are related. After the first atomic bomb was detonated scientists realized radiationwas detrimental to human beings, which was confirmed when the U.S. dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, scientists began their experiments on Americans.

In 1987 journalist Eileen Welsome (Albuquerque Tribune) discovered radiated animal carcasses on a near by Air Force Base. She began to dig and unearthed 6 million pages on experiments conducted on marginalized citizens in the U.S. The experimentation went on from the 1940’s to the 1970’s. A committee was appointed by the Clinton Administration. It was acknowledged that the committee members were comprised of members similar to the experimenters. While the victims were often minorities, poor and uneducated.

In Nashville 829 pregnant women were given radioactive iron and told their babies would grow up strong (children and mothers developed cancer)

In Massachusetts, 50-100 disabled boys


were given oatmeal laced with radioactive tracers (an agreement between the Army and Quaker Oats)

Veterans of the Atomic bomb development claimed the government exposed over 200,000 men over 200 atmospheric atomic and hydrogen bomb tests between 1945 through 1962

Carl Heller designed a study to test the effects of radiation on the somatic and germinal cells of the testes, they used human, goat and other animal testes.

1945-1947 the U.S. Army injected 18 people with 4.7 micrograms of plutonium. The experiments were conducted under the leadership of Harold Hodge in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Operation Dew was actually 2 different projects that released biological agents into urban areas during the Cold War. The first was done over an area of 100-150 nautical miles (10-20 Km) off the coast of Georgia, North andSouth Carolina. They released zinc cadmium sulfide into the air to test the effect it would have over the people. LAC (Large Area Coverage) Operation was the experiment that was done in St. Louis. It was a US Army Chemical Corps operation that released zinc cadmium sulfide over much of the U.S. and Canada.

The U.S. Army and scientists specifically carried out these operations:

1950 – Six simulated attacks were conducted upon the San Francisco Bay Area. It was feasible to attack a seaport city with biological aerosol agents from a ship offshore

1952 – Operation Dew- Five trials off Georgia, North and South Carolina

1957 – North Sea, East coast of Britain which showed a large area coverage with particles

Minnesota sprayed from 1953-1960’s

Louis in Mid 1950’s and 1960’s via motorized blowers


atop a project housing community Pruitt-Igoe, from station wagons and via planes

Like all these experiments they were Cold War operations designed to obtain information on the potential of biological weapons. They tested for range and effect on the people in the area in case of war. The experiments were done without consent or the quality information was poor. In some cases, the people were outright lied to. There are many more experimentation stories, these few were for bioweapons and radiation.

One final note, this was to be a big story gaining an apology from President Bill Clinton. He addressed the issues, apologized and admitted the travesty of the experimentation. It was over shadowed that day as O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his wife Nicole Brown Simpsonand dander may cause a slight to severe coughing and sneezing in mild cases but in extreme conditions it can cause dangerous breathing problems such as bronchitis and asthmatic attack.

Director David Gordon Green broke through with indie films such as George Washington and All the Real Girls, and then seemed like he would make a strong transition to larger budget features after the success of Pineapple Express. However, the quality of pictures decreased as the concepts increased. The stoner medieval comedy Your Highness was painfully disappointing, and the mean-spirited The Sitter was even worse. His new film, Prince Avalanche, is a welcome return to form as it puts Green back inside an indie budget but lets him hold onto the goofy humor of Pineapple Express and Eastbound and Down (he has directed ten episodes over the course of the series). The result is a quiet, sweet, and funny picture about loneliness featuring noteworthy


performances from stars Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.

Set in Texas in 1988, the film follows road workers Alvin (Rudd) and Lance (Hirsch). The two are busy repairing the road after a gigantic forest fire the previous year. As a favor to his girlfriend Gloria, Alvin reluctantly works with the juvenile Lance, who is Gloria’s little brother. The two have an uneasy relationship as they’re simply not on the same wavelength. Alvin is in love with Gloria, enjoys working in nature, and hopes to build a family some day. Lance is eager to get laid, wants to get back to the city, and doesn’t think past the next weekend. As the story progresses, they discover they might be more alike than they previously thought.

It’s a bit of a vaguedescription since Prince Avalanche isn’t a plot-driven film. The entire movie takes place in the charred forest and along the road. The momentum is a bit slow, but Green keeps the pacing up even though the movie only had a few locations and three major characters (Lance LeGault plays an oddball truck driver who occasionally comes by and offers libations to Alvin and Lance). It’s mostly a quiet movie where Green has the freedom to try stranger techniques like disconnected voices, tagged trees that spell out a feeling, and other moments that provide a little flair to a small picture.

Even with the embellishment, Prince Avalanche is small and proud of it. The burden falls heavily on Rudd and Hirsch, and the two actors turn in a couple of

This is the first appearance of the Princess since she was last seen at Victoria Day earlier this month. She was joined by her daughter, Princess Estelle, for the celebration at the city's Royal Palace in Stockholm. The mother-daughter-duo not only shared in the celebrations together, but also shared their fashion senses. Since husband and father Prince Daniel was unable to attend, the two decided to make it a mommy-and-me outing in matching purple coats to celebrate Victoria's name day.of the 2011 census said.

However, 96.71 per cent of the population in the country have one of the 22 scheduled languages as their mother tongue.

Since mother tongues, as returned in the census, are basically the designations provided by the respondents of the linguistic mediums in which the respondents think they communicate, they need not be identical with the actual linguistic mediums, it said.

The methodology

For assessing the correlation between the mother tongue and designations of the census and for presenting the numerous raw returns in terms of their linguistic affiliation to actual languages and dialects, 19,569 raw returns were subjected to thorough linguistic scrutiny, edit and rationalisation.

This resulted in 1,369 rationalised mother tongues and 1,474 names which were treated as "unclassified" and relegated to "other" mother tongue category.

The 1,369


rationalised mother tongues were further classified following the usual linguistic methods for rational grouping based on available linguistic information.

Thus, an inventory of classified mother tongues returned by 10,000 or more speakers are grouped under appropriate languages at the all-India level, wherever possible, has been prepared for final presentation of the 2011 mother tongue data.

What are the findings?

The total number of languages arrived at is 121, the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, said.

The 121 languages are presented in two parts -- languages included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, comprising 22 languages and languages not included in the Eighth Schedule, comprising of 99 languages plus the category "total of other languages", which includes all other languages and mother tongues which returned less than 10,000 speakers eachat the all-India level or were not identifiable on the basis of the linguistic information available.

The number of scheduled languages was 22 at the time of presentation of the 2001. The same 22 languages are maintained in 2011 census also.

The non-scheduled languages are 99 in 2011 against 100 in 2001.

The decrease in the number is due to exclusion of Simte and Persian, which were not returned in sufficient numbers as 2011, and inclusion of Mao, which has returned more than 10,000 speakers at the all-India level at 2011 census.

Of the total population of India, 96.71 percent have one of the scheduled languages as their mother tongue, the remaining 3.29 per cent is accounted for other languages.

There are total 270 identifiable mother tongues which have returned 10,000 or more


speakers each at the all-India level, comprising 123 mother tongues grouped under the scheduled languages and 147 mother tongues grouped under the non-scheduled languages.

Those mother tongues which have returned less than 10,000 speakers each and which have been classified under a particular language, are included in "others" under that language.

About the constitutional languages

The Eighth Schedule of the Constitution consists of the following 22 languages – Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri.

Of these languages, 14 were initially included in the Constitution. Sindhi language was added in 1967. Thereafter three more languages, Konkani, Manipuri and Nepali were included in 1992.

Subsequently, Bodo, Dogri, Maithili and Santhali were added in 2004.Public Well being Foundation Of India

Surgeons trying a new way to save the life of a baby born with half a heart stood over her open chest and waited for the FedEx box.

Doctors in Miami had overnighted two small vials of stem cells to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Now the Baltimore surgeons would inject the cells, derived from a donor's bone marrow, into the tiny, defective heart of 4-month-old Autumn.

The Hagerstown girl was born with an often fatal condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome, in which the left half of the heart is unable to pump blood. She is the fifth child to get the injections into the working right half of her heart as part of a national study at the Maryland hospital aimed not only at saving lives, butadult congenital surgery at the University of Maryland and one of the nation's foremost surgeons for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, said Autumn's general health beyond the condition and her supportive parents made her a good candidate for the stem cell study.

His team of about a dozen arrived early for the surgery in mid-February, draped blue cloths around Autumn and hooked her up to machines that would at times do her breathing and pump her blood for her. Her pacifier and stuffed monkey were carefully stored and labeled in a bag and set aside. Her chest was reopened along the same several-inch-long line used in her first surgery.

Three doctors aimed their headlamps down at Autumn's strawberry-sized heart.They worked in tandem with the nurses, anesthesiologists and other professionals who packed


around the table in the pediatric operating room in the University of Maryland Children's Hospital. Other attendants scurried around the room, keeping track of supplies and other needs of those in the surgery huddle.

The heart surgery done, the team waited for the courier delivering the stem cells.

The roughly 1.67 million cells had been in a freezer at the biotech company Longeveron the day before. They had largely thawed before their scheduled arrival, so too much of a delay could jeopardize their viability.

The opaque liquid cells arrived at the hospital in a toaster-sized cooler pack at about 12:15 p.m. and were hurried into the operating room. They were carefully unwrapped by sterile gloved hands.

A quick examination under the microscope showed they were 77 percent viable, above the 70 percentthreshold for use. They were drawn into eight small syringes, which were then laid on a cloth-covered tray next to the surgical team.

A member of the team held up a diagram of a heart for Kaushal, an associate professor of surgery in the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of pediatric cardiac surgery at the medical center. He pointed to a spot each time he plunged a needle into Autumn's heart.

If the cells work as they did in Kaushal's computer models and lab animals during nearly a decade of research, they will boost the strength and longevity of Autumn's half a heart.

Kaushal says the first four children to receive the cells—three at Maryland and one at the Johns Hopkins Hospital—were faring well.

"I think this is game-changing


for these kids," Kaushal said. "I believe these young hearts are going to be the most responsive."

In a normal heart, the right side of the heart typically has the less stressful job of pumping deoxygenated blood from the body to the lungs. The left side more powerfully pumps the resupplied blood back out to the body.

In babies with Autumn's syndrome, the right side has to do double duty.

The three surgeries change how blood flows so deoxygenated blood goes right to the lungs and refreshed blood is pumped around the body by the right side of the heart.

Kaushal has been working with Dr. Joshua Hare, the former Johns Hopkins researcher who became the founding director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami Miller School ofHong Kong| 49-year old Dingxiang Loeng, a well-known and very flamboyant Chinese businessman, died this morning in his suite of the Island Shangri-La hotel during a reception he was holding for his birthday. According to some of the 217 witnesses of the tragedy, it is while opening a champagne bottle that the billionaire was hit violently in the temple by the cork, an accident that caused a fatal brain hemorrhage.

The accident took place during a sumptuous party that was being held to celebrate Mr. Loeng’s 50th birthday, that would have taken place on August 2nd. Nearly 200 guests were present, including most of Hong Kong’s political and economic elite, when the celebrated, after a brief speech, opened a bottle of champagne and was hit violently in the head


by the cork. Many witnesses actually laughed at first, greatly underestimating the severity of the injury, but an eerie silence rapidly overcame the crowd as Mr. Loeng remained unconscious and the medical staff was urged on the site. Despite all the efforts of the paramedics, his death was confirmed less than twenty minutes later while he was being carried to the hospital.

Rated the 51st richest in Hong Kong according to the Forbes business magazine, Mr. Loeng was an eccentric real estate tycoon who made a fortune in some very controversial deals in the years preceding the transfer of sovereignty of the former British colony to China. Even if his fortune is estimated at more than 1 billion dollars, the Hong Kong businessman was always better known for hisManchester Pride festival will include an event for LGBT teenagers 14 and over for the first time this summer.

The annual music event has been a staple of the city for a number of years and takes place over August bank holiday weekend.

This year, it will be moved away from The Village for the first time due to development in the area. The main music programme will instead be coming from the Mayfield site in Piccadilly.

But it will still remain a huge part of the event with a new Gay Village Gathering event over the weekend with a stage for community performers and markets.

indefensible. The issue leaves the bishops facing a dilemma: they believe their job is to transmit the truth, as revealed by God in the first century and preserved in the New Testament and early church tradition. But such an understanding of how God has revealed himself is fatally flawed. The Catholic Church has an intellectual crisis grounded in the failure of its leaders to confront the question of what exactly the church understands revelation to be.

Theologians have provided little help. Among the big questions that the Second Vatican Council admirably took on was that of “sources of revelation,” and while the council made a start, it could not complete the task. The document produced in committee was mostly a restatement of the Council of Trent’s assertion that revelationGod speaking and humans responding.

Revelation’s main appearance in the early Christian movement, of course, was as the name of what became the last book in the New Testament, with its promise of a revealing or unveiling of a new heaven and a new earth, to be realized at the completion of history. The Book of Revelation was something of an embarrassment in the early church—and remains one for the contemporary Catholic Church. Indeed the Vatican II document on revelation seems to pretend that it does not exist. And yet the Book of Revelation has long been attractive to many Christians, and still is. For the vast majority of Christians, “revelation” refers to the Book of Revelation.

After somewhat reluctantly including the Book of Revelation in the canon of Scripture,


rich store of Catholic tradition. At the synod, the bishops were largely on their own, without the “experts” who played a major role at Vatican II. Future synods and councils will need a much more diverse group of men and women to act as responsible listeners to a divine revealing. For that to occur, the Catholic Church has to face the intellectual crisis surrounding the very basis of its teaching.

Show Caption Hide Caption Trump considers concealed carry for teachers President Donald Trump says he's considering backing proposals to promote concealed carrying of weapons by trained school employees to respond to campus shootings. (Feb. 21)

WASHINGTON – President Trump offered a full-throated defense Thursday for his proposal to arm some teachers and staff in the wake of last week’s school shooting in Florida, despite opposition from law enforcement groups and teachers' unions who warn that more guns in schools would only make them more dangerous.

One day after an emotional session with survivors of the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., Trump praised the National Rifle Association and insisted in a series of tweets that "highly trained" teachers and coaches


should be allowed to carry weapons at schools.

At a meeting later Thursday with law enforcement and school officials from around the country, Trump suggested staff who are trained and carry a weapon could even get “a little bit of a bonus" for making their schools safer.

The NRA chief Wayne LaPierre, speaking at the annual gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference immediately endorsed Trump's call to "harden our schools" but did not specify that the teachers themselves should have guns. Through its National School Shield program, the NRA has long proposed schools have more security personnel and police officers to protect them from violence.

Yet Trump also broke with the NRA to call for an increase in the age limit for semi-automatic gun buyers from 18 to 21.

....If apotential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there...problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 22, 2018

The president's tweets came one day after an emotional "listening session" with survivors of the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Parkland.

During the 70-minute session Wednesday, Trump touted the idea of arming school staff as a key deterrent that would have stopped the Florida massacre.

"If the coach had a firearm in his locker when he ran at this guy ... he wouldn't have had to run," the president told the survivors and their families. He


educators from gun violence," NEA President Lily Eskelsen García said. "We need solutions that will keep guns out of the hands of those who want to use them to massacre innocent children and educators. Arming teachers does nothing to prevent that."

A poll the NEA conducted of its members in January 2013 following the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre in Connecticut found that 68 percent opposed the idea of arming teachers and staff even if they received training.

On Thursday, Trump clarified that maybe 20% of teachers should have the ability to "immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to a school with bad intentions." Highly trained teachers, he continued, would also serve as a "deterrent to the cowards that do this. Far more assets at much less cost thanguards."

Trump said school shootings often end before police and first responders have time to arrive. "Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive," he said.

School shooting survivors confront President Trump Hear what students, parents and teachers affected by school shootings told President Donald Trump.

Since the Parkland shooting, Trump has also endorsed the idea of expanded background checks for potential gun buyers, especially ones with mental health problems. Trump has also ordered his Justice Department to issue new regulations to ban bump stocks and other devices designed to convert guns into rapid-firing automatic weapons.

"Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue - I hope!" he tweeted.

The president sought to downplay any discord his proposals might engender with the NRA, praising


shootings

More: Trump vows tougher background checks, mental health screens for gun buyers in meeting with students

At the Thursday meeting in the White House with government officials, Trump seemed confident the NRA would drop its opposition.

"It should all be at 21," he said. "And the NRA will back it."

White House spokesman Raj Shah said Trump has not yet decided whether to propose a gun control bill to Congress or encourage lawmakers to develop their own proposals to improve school safety.

"Right now, we're in a listening phase," Shah said during Thursday's media briefing.

Critics said Trump's ideas would do nothing to remove military-style weapons from the nation's streets.

"The focus on mental illness is a distraction by Trump and the NRA," tweeted David Rothkopf, a senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins SchoolAn Essay on the Origin and Operation of the Dry Rot: With a View to It's Prevention Or Cure.

Prior art connections between soil reinforcing polymer geo-grids and the face elements for retained earthen formations have required that the connection be made within the concrete face elements, either by passing pins through openings in the geo-grids, or by sandwiching the geo-grids between the face elements. In the case of the pin connections, the integrity of the connection has been dependent upon the shear strength of the joinder between the longitudinal tension members of the geo-grids and the transverse tying members extending across the tension members. In the case of connections which rely upon sandwiching of the geo-grid between face panel elements, the connection has been dependent upon capturing the grid between the concrete elements and the frictional inter-engagement of the grid and concrete elements.

The Dropped Quill of Saint Thomas More

by Beth von Staats

__________________________________________________

He was little of stature, ill fetured of limmes, croke backed, his left shoulder much higher than his right, hard favoured of visage … he came into the worlde with the feete forwarde … and also not untothed.

~ Saint Thomas More, The History of Richard III ~

__________________________________________________

Although no authority from the 16th century or today affirms Saint Thomas More’s The History of


Richard III to be an accurate accounting of the life of world history’s last Plantagenet king, the Roman Catholic patron saint of politicians and public servants did get at least a few things right. King Richard III was not a large man, and he had a crooked back resultant from scoliosis. Though which shoulder was higher is reversed in Thomas More’s exaggerated description of the king from the reality found of the skeleton dug up from under a Leicester parking lot, he was not that far off the mark. This should not be as surprising as it is to many people. After all, King Richard III reigned in Thomas More’s lifetime. The history was a fresh one, the king’s appearance easily reported by those who knew him.

Saint ThomasA convicted pedophile tortured and killed a 9 year old boy in front of his sister. His reason for killing the boy was that after accidentally shooting Dylan Groene in the stomach with a shot gun, there was no hope of saving him. However a doctor has stated that the boy possibly could have been saved. The gun shot to the abdomen would have caused him extreme pain but he could have been saved after receiving medical attention.

The monster that committed this crime is Joseph Edward Duncan III. Now the courts are trying to figure out if the man should get the death penalty. The sister of the young boy who was murdered, Shasta, reported that her brother’s “guts” were hanging out. The doctor said that even though


the situation looked dire, the boy’s life may have been salvageable.

The perpetrator, Joseph Edward Duncan III has pleaded guilty to 10 federal counts of kidnapping and the murder of the boy in 2005. Duncan kidnapped the children after he bludgeoned their mother Brenda Groene and their 13 year old brother Slade to death. The mother’s fiancé, Mark McKenzie was also murdered by Duncan. Shasta, who was eight at the time, was raped and forced to perform sex acts with her brother. Duncan, who represented himself tried to make a case on the idea that Shasta was too traumatized to not exaggerate what happened to her and her brother. This idiot basically made a case against himself by stated that the child was severely traumatized. Not to mention thatexpert witnesses attested to the fact that once children reach eight years old they tend not to exaggerate such happenings.

This story has a familiar ring to it. Joseph Edward Duncan III had a long rap sheet. Had been convicted of crimes that ranged from car theft to rape and molestation. Still he was out and about in the world and able to prey on more people. He is also suspected in the slayings of his two half sisters and is charged with murdering a young boy in Riverside County, California. Why was this man out on the street? What court system allowed him to walk free after the convictions he had acquired? An entire family was destroyed because this monster was on the street.

Xiang Songzuo is a Chinese academic and an economist. He serves as the Chief Economist of the China Agriculture Bank and is a professor at the Renmin University School of Finance. He has become known for asserting that China’s GDP growth was only 1.67 percent in 2018.

Recently, Xiang made another speech on the reasons why China’s economy slid so badly in 2018:

First, tightened government financial control caused many companies to face a shortage of capital supply. However, this was not the main reason.

Second, China’s stock market dropped 30 percent and lost 7 trillion yuan (US $1 trillion) in value in 2018. Xiang felt that the scale of the stock market crash in China over the past ten years is comparable to the drop in the U.S. in 1929.The Mercedes W04, one of the most eagerly-anticipated new cars of 2013, has broken cover for the first time.

In situ STM studies of electrochemical growth of nanostructured Ni films and their anomalous IR properties.
We have extended the study of anomalous IR properties, which were initially discovered on nanostructured films of platinum group metals and alloys, to nanostructured films of nickel, a member of the iron group triad, and broadened the fundamental knowledge on this subject. Nanostructured thin films of nickel supported on glassy carbon [nm-Ni/GC(n)] were prepared by electrochemical deposition under cyclic voltammetric conditions, and the thickness of films was altered systematically by varying the number (n) of potential cycling within a defined potential range for electrodeposition. Electrochemical in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was employed to monitor the electrochemical growth of nanostructured Ni films. These in situ STM images illustrated that, along the increase ofNationality

crowdfunding and a possible timeline for the forthcoming Rulings, it's important to have a bit of context and background on what's gone on at the S.E.C. to date.

Politics at the S.E.C.

Crowdfunding legislation passed Congress almost a year ago in March, 2012. As the Wall Street Journal reported, S.E.C. Chairwoman Mary Schapiro delayed the Rulings on crowdfunding because of her personal concerns about her legacy.

When Schapiro left office on December 31, 2012, Elisse B. Walter, an existing commissioner at the S.E.C., took the position of interim chair.

Initially, it seemed Walter might continue as chair for her remaining year-long term and issue the crowdfunding Rulings, since she has been at the Commission during this legislative and ruling period. Insiders speculated that she would pick up the Rulings quickly after takingsignificant power to choose priorities for the Commission, and to impact how those priorities are carried out.

This begs the question: How will the new nominee for S.E.C. chair, Mary Jo White, proceed on the crowdfunding Rulings?

Who is Mary Jo White and is she pro-crowdfunding?

President Obama nominated Mary


there’s basic consensus regarding the timing on Rulings for Title II (General Solicitation to Accredited Investors), and Title III (true public “crowdfunding”) of the JOBS Act.

An aggressive prediction is early April, according to Karen Kerrigan. Her target date is based on the one-year anniversary of the signing of the JOBS Act, and her deep long-time ties as a D.C. fixture. She believes it would be an “embarrassment” if Rulings aren’t issued by April 5, 2013.

Doug Ellenoff “hopes and trusts” that we’ll see Rulings on Title II before the end of March, 2013, and Title III sometime in the fourth quarter.

As an outlier to industry consensus, Candace Klein believes that Title II will lag behind Title III Rulings. Klein explained the lag, saying, “The general solicitation issue (in TitleDesigned in a great rush at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition held in January/February 1918, the D VII easily walked away with first prize.

Almost all major industrial cities of the world made environmental errors and as a result have to pay for that damage. Beijing being one of the latest industrial power houses of the world faces a lot of environmental problems. The main environmental issues crippling the city of Beijing lately are air and water pollution, heavy traffic and high population density (Broudehoux, 2007).

Air pollution is considered the greatest environmental problem facing the city of Beijing. Air pollution which results from industrial and vehicle emissions is crippling the social fabric of the nation with health sectors already feeling the effects. The Ministry of Health of China, for instance, has ranked cancer resulting from pollution as the number one cause of Chinese deaths lately. Many deaths continue to be reported


due to a series of factors. First, the bumping economic growth of the country has created a pool of capital for city dwellers to afford cars. This has led to unprecedented increase in the number of automobiles in the city, more so, private cars. Another reason for traffic jam in the city is rapid urbanization. Being the leading city of the country, Beijing has suffered the tragedy of rapid urbanization with people moving from the upcountry to Beijing, and others moving from other parts of the world to make a fortune there (Broudehoux, 2007).

Another striking environmental issue that is of concern to the city of Beijing is the high population density. Beijing’s population is the second largest after Shanghai. In 2010, the population of the city was estimatedQ:

Were the 1940-42 RAF bombing raids over Germany unescorted?

Considering the Spitfire's chronic lack of range, was the RAF doing unescorted bombing runs over Nazi Germany in 1940-42 or did they have another fighter that escorted their bombers?

A:

Most bombing by both the RAF and USAAF was partially or fully unescorted.
Early in the war, virtually all long-distance bombing raids took place at night to avoid the possibility of interception. The Germans used searchlights and AA guns to try to combat this. Later in the war they developed night fighters.
The United States eventually perfected daytime, high-altitude bombing. This required aircraft with oxygen supplies and masks, as well as a very sophisticated bomb sight.
The diagram below shows the evolving range of possible escort during the war:

Most of the Japanese artists in the latter half of the 19th century were pupils of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Kunisada, and Utagawa Hiroshige. However, in contrast to their masters of traditional print, who used lyrical colours,, the younger artists preferred brighter colours and dominant shades such as red or purple. This new and heightened use of colour was seen by their contemporaries as resulting from Western influence.

Having become engrossed in Japanese culture after encountering ukiyo-e prints and literature about the country in Paris during the height of the Japonism boom, Van Gogh saw Japan as a source of creativity and a kind of Utopia. At the same time, in the 1920s, Japanese artists and intellectuals developed an admiration for Van Gogh and began to make pilgrimages to his grave in the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise.

the Authority to help construct the facilities of the Authority and because it paid to the Authority sufficient sums to maintain the facilities after the facilities were complete and before the County was in a position to take water from the Authority. No other members of the Authority made a contribution which made the Authority viable.
The Authority says there is not a sufficient reason to differentiate in the rates charged the County and other customers. It says that the $5,653,200 which the County advanced to the Authority was not a gift but a loan. The County issued general obligation bonds to acquire this money it advanced to the Authority and the Authority is obligated to charge a sufficient rate to service these bonds and pay such sums toargues that the fact that the County paid the operation and maintenance expenses for the Authority from October 1984 until the County started receiving water does not entitle the Commission to grant the County a different *158 rate. The Authority says the County received full value for this contribution by having water available when the County was ready to take it. Whatever benefit this was for the County it was also a benefit to the Authority which enabled the Authority to continue in business.
We hold that the Authority may grant the County a different rate on the water it receives from the Authority. The Authority could not have become viable if Brunswick County had not made the contributions that it made. It lent the Authority $5,653,200. Because of


this loan the Authority was able to obtain grants totaling $8,000,000 from the United States Economic Development Administration and the State of North Carolina. The County paid the operating and administrative expenses of the Authority from October 1984 until July 1987. These were substantial contributions to the Authority without which it would not have been able to begin its operation or stay in business. Based on this substantial difference between the position of the County vis-a-vis the Authority and the position of the other members, the Authority does have the right to charge a rate to the County different from the rate it charges other members.

Rather, since she had seen her son from the time he was born, she was able to notice his extraordinary talent.

The first time she noticed that was probably because he never cried at all in the night.

And when she thought about it, Soma had never cried, except just after birth.

The abnormality was obvious when Sofia


raised her daughter, Rina, who was also Soma’s younger sister.

Rina was different from Soma. She was crying during the day and the night, but… the sight of a 1-year-old child comforting his crying sister was something impossible, no matter how she thought about it.

Moreover, it didn’t happen once or twice. It frequently happened when Sofia was in the middle of something… And, since she was used to it, she asked Soma to take care of her when she was busy, but when she thought about it afterwards, she was greatly perplexed.

Well, even though there were such things, when she thought about it later, she assumed that they were cute.

Later, when she was considering the matter of education…

Basically, education was usually simple, even before getting a skill appraisal.

Depending onthe most powerful Dragon King! 😀

Ok so his parents love him. He’s been very attentive for a child since he was born. He took care of his sister since he was a 1 year old. He was smart and able to handle his lessons from 4.

Ok I can conclude that had his memories from his past life since he was born or something like that. His parents seem to love him as their child and at the same time are a bit worried for him since he’s been a very good child, like is sensible. Sofia, his mother seems to be a powerful mage and his father, Kraus is a very strong swordsman. They both are quite shocked and saddened that their child cannot develop his skills anymore.

That’s


IT'S SNOWY AND 14 degrees below zero the day before Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. A man in a silver puffer jacket and a diamond-encrusted watch scurries into the NFL headquarters hotel and greets Drew Rosenhaus, one of football's most powerful agents.

"Things going smooth?" he asks. "Very good," Rosenhaus responds before adding, "Make a lot of money. 'Secure the bag,' as our clients say."

And with a fist bump, the two part ways. "We service a lot of Rosenhaus' clients," the man says. "Whatever they want."

His name is Mike Lipman, and he describes himself as "one of the larger ticket brokers in the United States." He turns to scan a lobby bustling with middle-aged men before staking out a couch and some chairs for his small team, pointing outinterceptions to lead Seattle in a 28-22 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers in the 2014 NFC Championship Game.

"Greatest game ever," Fischer said. "I remember we were out in our tailgate lot popping champagne."

"We were all saying, 'We're going to the Super Bowl!'" Gamboa added.

While celebrating, they and two other friends searched online for tickets to the Super Bowl matchup in Glendale, Arizona. Gamboa was ready to finally tap an account he'd started just for this occasion. Instead of birthday or Christmas gifts, he'd asked his wife to deposit money in his Super Bowl account. "To see the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, win or lose, is what I wanna do," Gamboa said.

They started with StubHub, but Google led them to SBTickets.com, where seats were going for


guys?"

Fischer remembered the woman on the other end telling him, "Nope. We're good to go. You come on down. We're excited to see you guys."

They flew to Phoenix unaware that the secondary market for Seahawks-Patriots tickets had gone berserk.

At last year's Super Bowl, the line at StubHub's ticket pickup center snaked through the tunnels beneath Target Field. ESPN

FOR AVERAGE FANS, Super Bowl tickets can be purchased from the NFL only if attached to "experiences" that cost far more than the face value of the cheapest seats. Experiences, often nothing more than a ticket, a room and entry to a tailgate party, are sold through On Location Experiences, a company partly owned by the NFL, its owners, a few investment companies and celebrities.

In Minneapolis last year, the cheapest OnLocation packages started at $6,299 per seat and sold out before fans -- or perhaps brokers -- even knew the game would pit the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots. Face value for similar 300-level seats was $950. The most expensive On Location packages, at more than $13,499 each, were sold out within 24 hours of the AFC and NFC title games.

"The simplest way to explain how the Super Bowl works is there's no primary market. You cannot buy a ticket at face value," said Lipman, who owns TicketsofAmerica.com and White Glove International, which specialize in obtaining the hardest-to-get tickets straight from the source -- players, teams, sponsors and other partners who are allocated seats by the NFL. "The primary market is only for sponsors, players and people


1 percent apiece. The remaining 25 percent of seats are doled out by the league office. They're sold to players and provided to business and media partners. About 500 tickets are donated to military families and youth football groups, he said.

McCarthy said the On Location experience packages were one way for the league to address fan frustration at ticket scarcity.

"We understand the demand for the most sought-after ticket in sports entertainment, which is why we're trying to be reasonable with the tickets we distribute," he said.

In Minneapolis, Lipman worked the phones on Saturday morning before the game to scoop up seats ahead of the competition.

"Wake up!" he told one potential source. "Money doesn't sleep! Let's make some money!"

Lipman turned down one player who wanted $2,750 apiece for 200-levelseats. But he tracked down a couple of Patriots willing to sell their tickets as well as passes to a postgame celebration that would be valid only if they won. He jumped into an SUV with a couple of business partners to meet the players at the Patriots' hotel. He declined to name any of them.

Security was tight around the hotel, so Lipman told his partner to drop him off near a Starbucks. There, he'd meet with someone in the players' entourage who could escort him into the hotel. "[Bill] Belichick doesn't play around," Lipman said of the New England coach. "They have this down to a science. They don't want to be Mickey Mousing around with tickets. That's why we do their dirty work for them. I'll


be back in 15 minutes."

He returned with several manila envelopes. As the SUV slogged back toward the NFL headquarters hotel, Lipman and his partner sorted through the tickets and passed stacks of $100 bills. Lipman had plenty of security surrounding him as he settled back in with about 50 tickets to sell.

Simultaneously throughout Minneapolis, thousands of fans in Eagles and Patriots jerseys stood in line to pick up tickets they'd paid for and ordered from various companies. The longest line was at StubHub's pickup center, where a line filled with hundreds of customers snaked through the tunnels beneath Target Field. Some of the same runners seen at the NFL hotel could be seen coming and going from the various pickup locations. At one, they walked past the lineand disappeared into a back room located directly behind the table while fans were picking up their ticket orders.

That's the big secret behind Super Bowl tickets: Fans may pay for tickets far in advance, but brokers might not have their seats until just before kickoff.

"It's a common practice for the major events," Lipman said. "For World Cup soccer, Super Bowls, the Masters. They're selling tickets they do not have."

In a different example, Nebraska's attorney general recently filed a complaint against a company called Secure Ticket Purchase, which does business as Box Office Ticket Sales. "Consumers who place an order for speculative tickets are largely unaware that Secure Ticket Purchase does not have the tickets or any rights to the tickets at the time of the consummation of the

LIPMAN REMEMBERS THE week leading up to Super Bowl XLIX well. Months before anyone knew which teams would end up in the game, brokers predicted they'd be able to secure wholesale tickets in Phoenix for as low at $1,500 and flip them for about $3,000 to double their money. Remember, that's what Gamboa and Fischer paid to SBTickets.com.

But once the Seahawks won the NFC championship, prices skyrocketed. "Having a fanatic West Coast team like Seattle in a West Coast venue in Phoenix, you had tremendous demand for Seattle fans to go," Lipman said.

He said he got out early and lost about $1,200 per ticket after making good on all hisBowl XLVIII, remembers dejected Seahawks fans who didn't receive the tickets they'd purchased from brokers for Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona. His office was flooded with complaints. Courtesy Bob Ferguson

"IT'S BEHIND THE curtain," said Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who ended up bringing legal action on behalf of Gamboa, Fisher and others who didn't receive their tickets to the game. "It's only when the curtain is drawn back, when something goes wrong, that everybody realizes, 'Oh my God, this is how it actually works.'"

Ferguson attended the game and remembers people complaining outside the stadium. As the night wore on, he heard more and more stories of people who said they didn't get their seats, and by the time he returned to Seattle, his staff was flooded with


before this weekend, you were automatically redirected to a website selling Super Bowl Tickets called fanhospitality.com, which Jones founded in 2017, according to his LinkedIn biography. But as of Sunday, the SBTickets address had gone inactive.

In Minneapolis, Outside the Lines went to the ticket pickup location for Fan Hospitality on the day before last year's Super Bowl. It was at a hotel a few blocks away from the NFL's headquarters hotel. There were signs for both Fan Hospitality and a ticketing marketplace, TickPick, posted throughout a ballroom. Jones was stationed at a computer behind a screen, directing employees who appeared to be fulfilling orders for a line of fans.

The next day, at a pregame tailgate party hosted by the two companies, hundreds of Eagles and Patriots fans drankbeer, dug into nachos and played party games. Jones crossed the hotel ballroom to climb on the stage. TickPick CEO Brett Goldberg joined him before announcing to the crowd, "We sold 2,500 tickets this year!" Goldberg then turned to Jones. "Paul Jones is here!" he said. "The head of business development for TickPick!"

In an email, Jones later confirmed his employment for TickPick but added, "I do not speculate or sell Super Bowl tickets." He said he sold Fan Hospitality to TickPick in 2017. Neither he nor TickPick's Goldberg would say if Jones has an ownership stake or any equity in either company.

Outside the Lines found hundreds of Super Bowl LIII tickets for sale on both Fan Hospitality and TickPick since at least October 2018. McCarthy, the NFL spokesman,


confirmed the league doesn't distribute the tickets until January.

On the TickPick site, where tickets started at $3,195 as the NFL's wild card weekend finished up, shoppers were greeted with a notification that seats purchased would be available within a mile of Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- exact location to be provided the week of the Feb. 3 game.

Last October, the site told potential customers, "The NFL does not allocate exact seat locations until the weeks leading up to the big game. Our authorized Super Bowl sellers are required to list their tickets as zone listings. Please review our Super Bowl Seating Chart Blog to find out exactly which sections a seller is allowed to fill your order with!"

As of early January, after TickPick received questions from Outside the LinesAlthough running back Adrian Peterson threw out the Texans as a possible destination early in the offseason, a team source said Houston was never interested. According to the source, the interest was all generated by Peterson, and the team "never once talked about him." The Texans had a strong running game last season, led by Lamar Miller, who the Texans signed to a four-year contract last offseason.


Demonstrators sympathetic to Christine Blasey Ford crowded into Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office and marched through the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday to protest Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago when the two were in high school. She alleges Kavanaugh pinned her down on a bed and tried to remove her clothing during a party. When she tried to escape, he allegedly covered her mouth so no one could hear her scream, she said.

Kavanaugh vehemently denies the allegation.

Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had originally planned for a committee vote on Kavanaugh for Thursday. The vote was postponed after Ford detailed her allegations to the Washington Post and Grassley, R-Iowa, has planned a hearing for Monday for KavanaughAgainst Capitalism and the State.

the system upside down/ Get Up!”. – Get Up by the Coup

Radical Hip Hop MC Boots Riley of The Coup lends his support and music to recent organizing video# for a December 12th, 2011 General Strike and shipping port shutdown in the United States. The attempts at strikes and disruptions are the latest in an escalation of resistance to the functioning of the system and is directly emboldened by the emergence of the Occupy movements. While the mass social protests in some U.S. cities don’t necessarily reflect the politics and practice of the Occupy movements as a whole these movements do contain and express real potentials for the development of a broad and evolving critique of class society and the State. Anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism, creative and experimental forms ofthe other. This makes Occupy attractive to factions of the ruling class (notably the Democratic Party) and their quasi-independent proxies (the union bureaucracies).

We saw on the Nov 17th National Day of Action Against Austerity and in Solidarity with Occupy concerted coordination and action by the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) in many cities. In NYC SEIU President Mary Kay Henderson was arrested. The SEIU is one of the largest U.S. business unions mixing a top-down staff-driven, corporatist organizing approach with an aggressive rightwing social-democratic lobbying/electoral strategy. While the SEIU is but one of the many business unions in the United States (and U.S. colonized territories such as Puerto Rico) this has made the SEIU a formidable force in the realm of U.S. labor relations.

Cyclones Notch Multiple Top-5 Finishes at Husker Invitational

LINCOLN, Neb. – The Iowa State men’s and women’s track and field teams wrapped up competition at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, capturing two event titles and setting several personal records.

Christina Hillman continued her dominant 2014 campaign with another victory in the shot put. The two-time All-American hurled a best throw of 56 feet, 3.75 inches en route to her fourth victory of the season.

A pair of Cyclones notched top-5 finishes in the women’s mile in Samantha Bluske (2nd) and Maggie Gannon (3rd). Bluske crossed the line in 4:46.61 with Gannon on her heels in 4:49.83. Both marks are personal bests for the Cyclone duo.

In her season debut, Cyclone junior Katy Moen raced to a runner-up finish in the women’s 3,000-meterHappy days! ;-)

result of close interactions with the British in the late 18th and 19th century. They were very rich and they challenged the social norms of colonial Kolkata. Babus showed off their wealth with extravagant festivals and hobbies, like buying zebras to pull carriages through the streets of the city. They also built palaces that followed the architectural design of famous houses in London, like Windsor Castle and Royal Albert Hall.

Ramtanu Dutta, the son of a successful businessman and probably one of the most exuberant Babus of the time, had his house cleaned twice a day with pure rose water that came from the city of Mirzapur. Another Babu, Bhuban Mohan Niyogi of Bagbazar, was said to light his cigars with burning banknotes.

Octagon houses were popular for a brief time in the 1850s in the United States and Canada. They are characterized by an eight-sided plan, with a flat roof and a veranda. Some of Kolkata’s royal families adopted the style, but only a handful of these houses are left.

Royal families’ houses were once stocked with expensive barmatic wood furniture and oil paintings, but as their fortunes declined, they abandoned them.

Old statues can often be found at junk yards outside dilapidated houses.

A premeditated crab-tossing has forever been stamped into Stanley Cup and Washington Capitals lore, thanks to 15 year-old Jack Merritt of Bethesda — and now it looks as if he might inspire an encore.

After Merritt, a sophomore hockey and lacrosse player for Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, lobbed a steamed crustacean into the left faceoff circle at the end of Saturday’s Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the seafood took on a life of its own.

The Capitals crab toss’ origins are humble and Baltimore based. After his grandmother surprised him with a ticket to Game 3, Merritt, equipped with the knowledge of seafood-throwing traditions at hockey games, immediately went to work.

On Saturday afternoon, Merritt paid $6 in cash at Bethesda Crab


What is Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two is based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne. The play received its world premiere in London’s West End at the Palace Theatre on 30 July 2016, it is the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

The Special Rehearsal Edition of the script was published on 31 July 2016.The heartbreaking story that of a young boy meeting Santa for the very last time might be a massive hoax.

Earlier this week a touching story from Knoxville, Tennessee took the internet by storm - it said a young unnamed child had sadly passed away in hospital in the arms of an actor playing Santa Claus.

The story, originally published by the Knoxville News Sentinel, reported that Campbell County Santa Claus actor, Eric Schmitt-Matzen, had recieved a call from a nurse at a local hospital.

The nurse explained he had to go “right now” to visit a boy who wanted to meet Santa.

Schmitt-Matzen recounted to the paper, and multiple other news agencies in the following days, that the unamed 5-year-old had told him that he was going to die and miss

Police hunting for group of 'Asian men' who took a 17-year-old girl into woods and gang-raped her

Victim went with one of the gang to an off-licence in Slough before the attack

The 17-year-old girl said four of the gang were travelling in a small silver car

The attack happened before 9pm on Friday in woodland near a river

Police confirmed they are searching for five Asian men concerning the rape

A teenage girl was gang-raped by a group of Asian men in a wooded area, police have said.

The 17-year-old victim met a group of men in Slough, Berkshire yesterday evening.

The girl went to an off-licence with one of the group and continued to a residential street, where they were joined by four men in a small silver hatchback.

Detectives investigating the brutal gang-rapesay the 17-year-old victim visited this off licence (top) with one of the gang shortly before the attack. The map shows the area of the assault

The girl walked with the men down a footpath towards a river surrounded by woodland where she was raped by several of the men.

Detectives confirmed today they were looking for five Asian men in connection with the brutal attack which happened near the Jubilee River in Slough.

The girl raised the alarm shortly after 9pm last night and she is being debriefed by specially trained officers.

Detectives are looking to secure CCTV from the off-licence and businesses in the area to see if they can find the number plate on the car or identify any of the suspects.

Detective Inspector Nicola Hurdley said: 'We are still
