at the real end of this discourse; for although there might be much to tell of the lower animals, and of the condition out of which they changed and of the causes of the change, about men there is not much, and that little is more to the purpose. Deprived of the care of God, who had possessed and tended them, they were left helpless and defenceless, and were torn in pieces by the beasts, who were naturally fierce and had now grown wild. And in the first ages they were still without skill or resource; the food which once grew spontaneously had failed, and as yet they knew not how to procure it, because they-had never felt the pressure of necessity. For all these reasons they werein a great strait; wherefore also the gifts spoken of in the old tradition were imparted to man by the gods, together with so much teaching and education as was indispensable; fire was given to them by Prometheus, the arts by Hephaestus and his fellow-worker, Athene, seeds and plants by others. From these is derived all that has helped to frame human life; since the care of the Gods, as I was saying, had now failed men, and they had to order their course of life for themselves, and were their own masters, just like the universal creature whom they imitate and follow, ever changing, as he changes, and ever living and growing, at one time in one manner, and at another time in another.

Reaper's Folly

The sickle stood tall and proud in the Reaper's right hand, the sharp polished metal gleaming in the late afternoon sunshine, as the golden rays bounced off the curved blade. Humming with low vibrations, the scythe was its own entity, reaching out into the harvest of souls as it searched for the one marked by Death.

The Reaper was silent as his eyes grazed the surface of the human world. Each time he ventured forth, his keen senses roamed the earth until he picked up the whereabouts of his intended prey. Part of the lure, the fun, the


death and suffering, the weapon could only be wielded by one strong enough to carry such a burden.

Reapers.

He walked through the living wall of fire that separated the cavern from his dark lord's chambers. Only the highest ranking among the Darkness's armies were capable of passing through the barrier. He smiled wickedly, giddy with the news he came to offer.

As he approached the dark throne, he knelt on one knee. "I completed the mission master. The Angel is dead."

A sardonic laugh echoed throughout the chamber, so vile and evil that even the Reaper could not prevent the shiver that traveled along his bony spine.

"Excellent. It's time." He let his crimson gaze roam over the Reaper, his dark lips drawn back into a cruel sneer. "The next phase ofnext, one by one, splintering and breaking apart in little pieces, snapping into the air as the hands kept pulling and twisting at his bones. His legs and arms were pulled from his body. His skull was smashed, the hands never ending in their torment.

His spine began to disintegrate as each vertebra was sliced into with razor sharp claws, tearing and ripping at the connective material and tissue, until eventually, he was nothing but matter. Little pieces and parts remained but no whole. No body. No bony frame.

Each tiny cell was destroyed.

Nothing of him was left.

The Darkness laughed, his deep sinister voice echoing throughout the four walls, surrounded by intense heat and the scorching flames of the Underworld, nestled next to the lake of eternal fire.

Creationists Nightmare

In the beginning there was nothing. No shining stars of eternal light. No inhabited planets, brimming with multitudes of differing life. Nothing. Just an empty black void, devoid of anything we would call life.

Through this faceless void, something swam in the dark. Solan. A single celestial being. The one true eternal.

Solan drifted through the empty space. At first, he was content enough to float by himself. But as the passage of time became a relevancy to him, he found himself longing for something, someone to distract him from the monotony of the negative space.

He tried conjuring creatures to converse with, but every time they coalesced on his palm they would either choke in the fumes given off by his celestial bodybelow, and focused his peripheral vision on the shifting darkness. He could see the lighter shade of grey in the shadows. Fetispheria's cloak billowed as he swept it aside and thrust his hand into the shade.

Clawed fingers wrapped around a tiny throat and with a slight tug, he extracted the grey from the gloom. The shadow twitched and coalesced into the form of a teenage human boy. Barely twice as long as Fetispheria's hand, the boy struggled and kicked against the grip that held him fast around the torso.

Fetispheria smiled as he watched the boy's head follow the giant, gore encrusted hand up the arm and to the owner. A scream ripped through the teen's throat and his struggles lessened, a warm trickle escaped from the bottom of

A movement above caught my gaze, and I lifted my head. A dark-haired woman stood in one of the upper windows, watching me. The image reminded me of another story I'd chased down, one involving a house haunted by its history, but I didn't think that would be the case here. If the rumors were to be believed, anyway.

I stepped up to the door and took hold of the knocker, rapping loud enough to reach the third floor. From what I could glean, the Lady Isabella had inherited the house and lived alone, shunning even servants. But a moment later, the door opened and a shining young blonde answered the door.

She smiled and asked, "May I helpkneeling beside her. Her skin was ashen and scored with fine lines, her dark hair streaked with silver. But her eyes were what unsettled me, for the blank depths revealed nothing but a lifeless shell.

"I see you've found her." I turned at the voice, finding Isabella standing behind me in the doorway. "She's the real reason you came here, isn't she?"

"What's wrong with her?" I asked. "Is she the reason the time continually shifts?"

"Imogene? No. She's not the cause."

I glanced back at the woman, my gorge rising. "You're saying this is Imogene?"

Isabella simply smiled.

The drawings, the time shifts... Had Imogene known this would happen? Had Isabella? Was it the house, or the woman who was to blame?

"Please, explain," I said, turning back to Isabella.

Claude pulled the trigger, and the woman's body jerked backwards, the face of his nightmares dissolving into a fine, red mist. Her body struck a gravestone, then collapsed into the muddy ground.

Almost immediately, Claude realized his mistake. She had been too far along in the pregnancy; the baby was almost full-term.

The sound of a thousand insects buzzed, shrieking inside of his head, and he screamed from the agonizing pain.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects approximately one in seven women worldwide from early adulthood with heterogeneity in their healthcare needs through the life cycle. PCOS is challenging to diagnose and manage, with one-third of women reporting at least a 2-year delay in diagnosis. Current clinical services do not satisfactorily educate and support women with their diverse reproductive, metabolic, and psychological care needs with fragmentation of services across health providers. Women are dissatisfied with the care they received, while the first contact general practitioners often feel ill-equipped to diagnose and manage PCOS.

India puts Gujarat lions on trial after three people killed By Prashant Dayal

BBC Hindi, Gujarat Published duration 14 June 2016

image copyright Prashant Dayal image caption Gujarat's Gir forest is the world's only habitat for the Asiatic lion

Officials in India have "arrested" 18 lions as they try to find a man eater suspected of killing three people.

Forest officials in Gujarat state will test the lions' prints and excrement in an attempt to identify the killer.

The "guilty lion" will be kept in a zoo for life while the others will be released back into the Gir sanctuary, the officials told BBC Hindi.

Six attacks on humans have been reported recently near the sanctuary, the only habitat of the Asiatic lion.

Gujarat's top forest official, JA Khan, said that the lions had beenrest of its life, as it was too unsafe to release it back into the wild.

Some experts feel that the thriving lion population in Gir forest is to blame for the "unusual" behaviour by the lions.

Govind Patel, the former chief wildlife warden of Gujarat, told the Indian Express newspaper that Gir could accommodate only 270 lions, forcing some prides to settle outside the boundaries of the sanctuary.

India's Supreme Court has ruled that Gujarat needed to relocate some of its lions to other states to avoid the possibility of disease or other disaster wiping out the entire population.

However the state has expressed reluctance and has not yet complied with the order.

House/Apartment, Selfnumber of adoptions in the United States peaked in 1970.[45] It is uncertain what caused the subsequent decline. Likely contributing factors in the 1960s and 1970s include a decline in the fertility rate, associated with the introduction of the pill, the completion of legalization of artificial birth control methods, the introduction of federal funding to make family planning services available to the young and low income, and the legalization of abortion. In addition, the years of the late 1960s and early 1970s saw a dramatic change in society's view of illegitimacy and in the legal rights[46] of those born outside of wedlock. In response, family preservation efforts grew[47] so that few children born out of wedlock today are adopted. Ironically, adoption is far more visible and discussed in


at school. In contrast, the same study indicated adoptive parents were viewed favorably, with nearly 90% describing them as "lucky, advantaged, and unselfish."[144]

In some countries, such as the United States, "Homecoming Day" is the day when an adoptee is officially united with their new adoptive family.[196] In some adoptive families, this day marks an especially important event and is celebrated annually from thereafter. The term Gotcha Day is also used to refer to this day. Many adopted people and birth parents find this term to be offensive.

Externally focused theories, in contrast, suggest that reunion is a way for adoptees to overcome social stigma. First proposed by Goffman, the theory has four parts: 1) adoptees perceive the absence of biological ties as distinguishing their adoptive family from others, 2)in shopping cart with the purchase of qualifying merchandise.

The next stage of adoption's evolution fell to the emerging nation of the United States. Rapid immigration and the American Civil War resulted in unprecedented overcrowding of orphanages and foundling homes in the mid-nineteenth century. Charles Loring Brace, a Protestant minister became appalled by the legions of homeless waifs


roaming the streets of New York City. Brace considered the abandoned youth, particularly Catholics, to be the most dangerous element challenging the city's order.[26][27]
The adoptee population does, however, seem to be more at risk for certain behavioral issues. Researchers from the University of Minnesota studied adolescents who had been adopted and found that adoptees were twice as likely as non-adopted people to suffer from oppositional defiant disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (with an 8% rate in the general population).[135] Suicide risks were also significantly greater than the general population. Swedish researchers found both international and domestic adoptees undertook suicide at much higher rates than non-adopted peers; with international adoptees and female international adoptees, in particular, at highest risk.[136]
Although adoption is today practiced globally, the United States has the largestThe early nineteenth-century cult of bibliomania was a bizarre episode, but one with long-lasting consequences. It culminated in the famous sale of the library of the 3rd Duke of Roxburghe, conducted by the auctioneer Robert Harding Evans, which took place in the dining room of Roxburghe’s house in St. James’ Square in June 1812. By then the duke had been dead for the best part of a decade. Contemporary gossip believed him to have been a shy and retiring man who had turned to book collecting having been disappointed in love.

Antiquarian book prices had climbed to unprecedented levels over the previous twenty years, but spectators nonetheless gaped as assorted aristocratic collectors and their agents pushed the bidding ever higher, and Roxburghe’s books sold one after another for astonishing


know, as Blandford and Spencer did not, that other copies existed (today in Paris, London, and Milan—not all of them complete). Blandford’s successful bid of £2,260 was by the standards of the day a gigantic sum of money. Three months after the Roxburghe sale, Jane Austen sold the copyright of Pride and Prejudice for £110, and Mr. Darcy had an income of £10,000 a year. The morning after the sale, advertisements in the Times included one for a secondhand pianoforte (24 guineas) and another for the lease on a twenty-bedroom coffeehouse in the City of London (annual rent: £1,900). But ironically Earl Spencer was to have the last laugh. When the finances of the perennially extravagant Blandford collapsed in 1819, the earl was able to secure the Boccacciofor £918, less than half what Blandford had paid for it in 1812. The bubble had burst.

Bibliomania is inextricably associated with the name of Thomas Frognall Dibdin, born in Calcutta, a graduate of St. John’s College, Oxford, failed lawyer, and (from 1804) a clergyman of the Church of England. Dibdin’s career as the public bookman par excellence began with his Introduction to the Knowledge of Rare and Valuable Editions of the Greek and Latin Classics (1802), which brought him to the attention of the reading public and of Earl Spencer, who became his lifelong friend. His patronage helped launch Dibdin’s career as the author of a pair of best-selling “bibliographical romances”: Bibliomania (1809) and its sequel The Bibliographical Decameron (1817), as well as a never-completed new edition of

On March 16, 2000, the grand jury indicted Jones for his rolein a drug trafficking conspiracy that was responsible for distributing cocaine base in Jefferson County, West Virginia, from 1996 through 1998. On April 14, 2000, while Jones was on pretrial release, he allegedly discharged a firearm in the direction of Jerome Scott during a domestic dispute. Based upon this shooting incident, the Government moved for pretrial detention of Jones, arguing that he was a danger to the community. At the detention hearing, Jones testified and denied possessing or discharging a firearm on April 14, 2000, "at or near" Scott. (J.A. at 97.) Upon considering this testimony and the testimony of several other witnesses, the magistrate judge concluded that the Government had not met its burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that Jones posed a danger to


21 U.S.C.A. § 841 (West 1999) and 18 U.S.C.A. § 2 (West 1999) (Count Seven). Following a two-day jury trial, Jones was found guilty of Counts One through Six; the Government voluntarily dismissed Count Seven.

In the presentence report, the probation officer found that Jones shot at Jerome Scott on April 14, 2000, and thus, concluded that Jones committed perjury during the detention hearing on April 27, 2000, when he testified and denied possessing or discharging a firearm on April 14, 2000, "at or near" Scott. (J.A. at 97.) Based on this perjury, the probation officer applied the enhancement for obstruction of justice pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 3C1.1. At the sentencing hearing, Jones argued that the Government had not proved that Jones committed perjury by a preponderance of thein DM1 affects the disease procession. The closed chromatin status might contribute to the disease severity because abnormal CpG methylation upstream the CTG repeat tract is often observed in the most severe congenital forms of DM1. On the other hand, the closed chromatin status could be the result of the defence mechanism to moderate the symptoms of DM1, such as a suppressed transcription of toxic RNA from the expanded CTG repeats, although the defence mechanism is not good enough to remove the symptoms. It remains unknown whether the differential chromatin status is the cause or the result of the CTG repeat expansion. A further investigation of the role of the epigenetic changes would help uncover the molecular pathology of DM1.

J. A. Caldwell was an American politician and county sheriff. A Democrat, he served in the Nevada Assembly between 1876 and 1878.

Caldwell became sheriff of Nye County after he was elected to that office on November 5, 1872. He was re-elected after his first term ended, and served until the elections on November 7, 1876. During those elections, Caldwell was elected as one of the two representatives of Nye County in the Assembly. The other representative was Thomas J. Bell.

Caldwell's term started the next day, and he served in one session. His mandate ended in November 1878 following the next elections, where W.B. Taylor and Joseph T. Williams were chosen as Caldwell and Bell's successors.

In a thinly-veiled protest of corporate personhood, a Seattle woman claimed to have married a corporation last week. With about 40 people in tow, the bride, Angela Vogel, managed to file a marriage certificate listing one “Corporate Person” as her groom. She then used a park statue as its proxy in a small, outdoor ceremony.

Vogel, a local activist, was trying to generate support for an ambitious city ordinance that would deny corporations personhood (as well as implement free Internet throughout the city and ban lobbying, among other varied provisions).

The more Lapointe learned about the building, the more he became worried about other workers, he said.

"When I saw it the first time, it was in a building condition report, which talked about the national building code and fire code from 1995. You have to question, why are certain things being put off?" said Lapointe.

Retrofit postponed until 2015-16

Agriculture Union national president Bob Kingston says the federal government needs to be doing its job as an employer to provide a safe workplace. (CBC) CBC has learned that a health and safety officer with Labour Canada is currently investigating air quality, the presence of asbestos and "life safety deficiencies" at 875 Heron Rd. The inspector plans to visit the building in the next few weeks.

Originally, there were plansto completely retrofit the buildings in 2011-12, but that was postponed until 2015-16.

In a statement, Public Works officials said the department is "developing a plan to rehabilitate the building. The timing is not yet determined."

Bob Kingston, the national president of the Agriculture Union — a part of the Public Service Alliance of Canada — said the government's answer isn't good enough.

NEWS- Prism no more: Arts center takes another name

For a brief musical moment, it seemed the word "Prism" would once again be synonymous with concerts at 214 Rugby Road. But less than a month after a group of local musicians announced they'd named their new organization the Prism Community Arts Center, they're singing a new tune.

"If there was going to be controversy about the name, we didn't need it," says Jim Childress, board chair of what has quickly been rebranded the "214 Community Arts Center."

In the Hook's February 1 cover story, "Prism reborn? New group rises from the ashes," Childress and other board members said the new Prism would differ from the old Prism in that it would focus more on music education and outreach. And, at aplace once riven by charges of cronyism, Childress described his hope that it would be "a place that really is a community organization where people feel included and have a voice."

But others claimed using the name "Prism" for the new organization was unfair.

"With anything new, you need to start new," said Jay Pun, a guitarist who attended many shows and performed once at the old Prism Coffeehouse. Pun considers himself friends with members of the old and new Prisms, but keeping the Prism name on the venue, he said, "leaves a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth."

There was also a legal question.

Attorney Steve Rosenfeld defended the use of the name, comparing the word Prism to the word "cola"– a generic term that no one can


lay claim to. But other attorneys questioned the wisdom, especially since the old Prism still exists, if in name only. And its holders don't seem inclined to let it go.

"Abandonment doesn't happen right away," said intellectual property expert Sheldon Parker. While the new Prism successfully registered the name with the State Corporation Commission, Parker said the old Prism could still file a complaint.

"It would be a matter for the courts," said Parker, "which is not where anyone wants to go."

Indeed, Childress said, one of the best things about the new Prism– a joint effort by several local music organizations including Acoustic Muse, Blue Ridge Irish Music School, and Charlottesville Friends of Old Time Music– was the fact that the board members were working together productively, a change fromthe last several years the Prism Coffeehouse occupied 214 Rugby Road.

The Hook's April 1, 2004 cover story, "Prism Schism," described some tensions that existed during the old Prism's final few years, as numerous board members and volunteers came forward to denounce the way the nonprofit was being run by allegedly hot-tempered artistic director Fred Boyce, who for 15 years had booked the Prism's shows and, with his partner, Kenyon Hunter, handled its finances.

In January 2006, the board members of the old Prism confirmed they had a contract on the former O'Dell's restaurant building in downtown Gordonsville and planned to move the operation, but by March that deal had fallen through, and they could not renew their lease with their Rugby Road landlord, Westminster Presbyterian Church. They packed up


the Prism Coffeehouse artifacts and moved out.

Prism Coffeehouse board chair Joe Ayers said in January that the board has continued to meet monthly and has formulated plans to begin sponsoring performances again in the near future, though the details of those shows had not been determined. At press time, Ayers had not returned the Hook's call for comment.

Over at 214 Community Arts Center, Childress says response has been strong.

35 years of cultural exchange

The establishment of the Swedish Center Foundation took place in March 1983 under the initiative of private sector companies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to then open three years later in 1986 in the heart of Sweden Hills, Hokkaido. At this time, the Swedish King declared that he would like to “further deepen friendship-ties with Japan” and so the Japan-Sweden collaboration started. Swedish Center Foundation (SCF) has ever since worked to develop and maintain friendship ties between Japan and Sweden. Our goal is to promote intercultural understanding and intellectual trade as well as art and education.

Vice President Nicolas Maduro said on television Thursday that, in his words, Chavez "is battling there for his health, for his life, and we're accompanying him." The vice president has used similar phrasing in the past.

Chavez hasn't spoken publicly since before his latest cancer operation in Cuba on Dec. 11. He returned to Venezuela on Feb. 18 and has been undergoing more treatment at a military hospital in Caracas.Tuesday, 14 May 2019

Lagos Rescues Triplets Being Used For Begging By Their Mother (Photo)

The Rehabilitation and Rescue Department of of the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development on Monday rescued triplets who were being used as an object for begging by their mother.

Personnel of the Nigerian Army, who pleaded anonymity, seized Uchechi Chi, mother of the children with her one month old triplets from furthering the illegal practice around Ikeja GRA.
He took the mother and the children to Bond FM where they were rescued by officials of the Lagos State Government rescue unit.

The mother was reported to have just arrived Lagos from Obosi, Anambra State on Sunday evening for fear of being killed by cult members.

Narrating her ordeal, Uchechi said she gave birth to triplets on


10th of April after dropping out of St. Monica College in SS3 and also worked as a cook at a restaurant in Obosi, Anambra State after her parent’s demise.

According to her, she fled Obosi on Saturday night and arrived Lagos on Sunday for fear of being killed by cultists with her children.
She alleged that the father of the triplets belonged to a cult group and abandoned her and the triplets due to ongoing rival cult clash which sought to take his life.

Reacting to the operation, Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Agboola Dabiri, said the rescue was an attestation that Lagos State Government was against any form of abuse on children as well as street begging.

Agboola, who expressed displeasure at the fate of the children, directed officials ofNorth–all which bring something different to the table.

Leslie: I lived in terror

John Leslie has told how he lived in fear of being sent to prison for sex attacks he never committed.

The TV presenter was speaking for the first time about the ordeal he was forced to endure before indecent assault charges against him were dropped yesterday.

The 38-year-old celebrated his acquittal by drinking champagne with girlfriend Abby Titmuss at a west London bar before enjoying a Chinese takeaway at his home in Sheen.

The TV presenter's career collapsed last year when he was named live on TV in connection with the alleged date-rape of Ulrika Jonsson.

Leslie had been charged with two counts of indecent assault on one woman at a drinks party six years ago. Yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to offer any evidence againsthim and the charges were dropped.

He was never questioned or accused in relation to Ms Jonsson.

And now, with his name cleared, he has vowed to rebuild his life.

He said in a newspaper interview how he prepared himself for prison - even though he knew he was innocent; how his parents suffered terribly as he endured more than nine months of torment, and how support from members of the public kept him going.

He said today: "I was ready to go to prison for something I didn't do. It was an awful prospect to contemplate, but I had prepared myself for that."

Leslie adds that from the beginning he believed he was in a no-win situation. "If I spoke out, I would be criticised. If I didn't, I would be criticised.


Either way I was in for a constant kicking." He decided to remain quiet - until now, he added. "Now is the right and appropriate time and believe me, I have a lot to say."

Leslie said that he had repeatedly gone over every possible outcome in recent months, including that he could be sent to prison, and how he would handle that.

His parents, Lexia and Leslie Stott believed their son was innocent from the start, he said. They had to watch him suffer in silence for months and that made his ordeal even worse. "What it was doing to my parents - that I couldn't handle," he went on.

"For me, this was always a battle to be fought. I just had to get my head down, grit myteeth and get on with it. But it has been terrible for my parents and particularly my mother. It's taken years off both of them."

When Leslie's parents arrived in London after travelling down from their home in Edinburgh yesterday, it was his barrister who told them their son was not going to be tried for indecent assault. Leslie said that he took his parents to a pub and his QC, Tony Jennings, blurted out the news.

Leslie's mother and father "practically fainted" said the presenter. "I practically had to hold them up."

He added that his parents had always intended coming down to London to support him at his first Crown Court hearing, but when they left Edinburgh they thought they were coming just to hear him plead not guilty.


At that stage, so did he, he told the Daily Express.

But as soon as he brought his parents into the pub and his barrister told them the news, Leslie said it was fantastic to see first the disbelief and then the relief on their faces.

He had so wanted to tell them something good, he said, "because the last 10 months have been so hard for them".

On Wednesday evening - after being told no evidence would be offered against him in court - Leslie invited his neighbours around for a celebration. He said they had "really lived through this" with him, and that they had had press camped in the street outside their houses for months.

His neighbours have been very protective, said Leslie. "If I didn't want anyone toknow I was in the house they never told on me and they found ingenious ways to smuggle food parcels into me. They were marvellous."

Leslie said support from the public helped keep him going during his lowest moments, and that every time anyone came up to him in the street to shake his hand or say 'Hang on in there, mate', it meant "a huge amount to me".

However, he remained worried that every time he stepped outside someone would be pointing at him and saying "There goes that monster John Leslie" - even though it never happened.

Today Leslie was due for a series of meetings with his lawyers, who have reportedly drawn up a "target list" of individuals and newspapers they may take legal action against.

Friends say the


former Blue Peter star is determined to take revenge on those he blames for ending his career and turning him into a virtual recluse, forcing him to put his house on the market to pay his legal bills.

Among those that friends say his lawyers are considering bringing legal action against are Jonsson - whose autobiography referred to a date rape by an unnamed television presenter.CONTEMPORARY ART | Very early man felt the need to witness his sojourn on earth by carving rock. It was 20,000 years ago. The Neolithic era is when he begins to move rock—but also large volumes of earth—in order to create sites or works sometimes very sophisticated, at Stonehenge, Er Grah, Silbury Hill, Carnac... These ancestral practises, of which traces can be particularly found in the beginning of our era in Nazca, are reactivated in the XXth century by the precursors and pioneers of Land Art, notably Isamu Noguchi, Group “I”, Richard Long, Walter De Maria, Robert Smithson, and of course Michael Heizer. Today, these practises continue to inspire a wider new generation of artists (Nikolaj Recke, Jorge Satorre...) in which Régis Perray is included.

Michael Heizer, Régis Perray:


two artists, two periods, two attitudes, two forms, two visions of the world, two conceptions of art, two practises of ground, two apprehensions of space and matter and collective memory. One has moved tons of rocks since the late 60’s with his bulldozers, excavators and cranes; the other rather handles grams, since the mid-90’s, with his broom, sponges, scrapers and his mini construction machines. Double standards. Two sets of rules. Observatoire du Land Art curated a “meeting” by proposing Régis Perray to perform a symbolic action echoing the pharaonic displacement of Michael Heizer’s boulder, before its permanent installation above the gigantic trench constructed on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art campus.Between February 28 and March 10, 2012, Perray moved each day on the French West coast 340FILE PHOTO - Oil production equipment is seen in a Halliburton yard in Williston, North Dakota April 30, 2016.

(Reuters) - Oilfield services provider Halliburton Co HAL.N said on Wednesday it would buy oilfield equipment supplier Summit ESP Inc, which is backed by Oklahoma energy and banking billionaire George Kaiser.

Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Summit ESP makes pumps used to maintain well pressure to increase oil and gas production in aging wells. The devices, components in a business called artificial lift, increasingly are being used to prolong the life of shale wells.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Reuters reported in June that Halliburton was in late-stage talks to acquire Summit.

Summit ESP was founded in 2011 and is led by executives who had earlier held senior posts at Baker

The company has expanded quickly in the United States and Canada, and in May announced it had installed its 8,000th electric submersible pump (ESP), an increase of 1,000 since November.Sable Island (and elsewhere in eastern Canada) and those in the NEUS, driven by movements of animals from Canada to the U.S. \[[@pone.0131660.ref024]\].

Leeds brought him in from Chelsea with the intention of installing him as first choice ahead of Bailey Peacock-Farrell but Blackman has been on the sidelines since completing his move eight days ago.

Top Fatah official Jibril Rajoub received a $250 million lawsuit and a court summons when he landed at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City this week, the Hebrew news site Ynet reported on Wednesday. However, the report noted, it is not expected that Rajoub will be questioned or detained by US authorities.

The suit was filed by family members of Azzam Rahim, a Palestinian-American married father of six who was allegedly tortured and murdered at a Palestinian Authority Preventive Security Force (PSF) facility in the West Bank in 1995. Rajoub was the head of the PSF at the time.

Rahim’s family members, who live in Texas, are being represented by lawyers Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and Robert Tulchin.

The suit was originally filed in 2006, but it was dismissed because thewere determined not to allow him to escape this time. We will act in the financial realm and bring him to pay compensation to the family, but the American Justice Department must investigate the case and also take the criminal steps against Rajoub.”

Last week, as reported by The Algemeiner, relatives of five American victims of Palestinian terrorism called on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to deny Rajoub entry to the US — a call that went unheeded.

The bereaved family members — including Stuart Force (father of Taylor Force), Ruth Schwartz (mother of Ezra Schwartz), Rina Ariel (mother of Hallel Yaffa Ariel), Micha Avni (son of Richard Lakin) and Avraham Fraenkel (father of Naftali Fraenkel) — were joined in their appeal to Tillerson by the Jerusalem-based NGO Palestinian Media

Vandals attack crippled surf club

Vandals have defaced the Moore Park Surf Life Saving Club near Bundaberg, in south-east Queensland, just one day after its retaining wall slipped into the sea.

Members arriving at the club yesterday found "incompetent idiots" and another message calling for the committee to resign scrawled in paint across the building.

High tides and wild weather washed away parts of the club's outdoor eating area and eroded the patrol building's foundations the day before.

Deputy club captain Scott Boon says he is shocked by the graffiti.

"We had the supporters club graffitied - we had 'incompetent idiots' written on one side and we've had the committee told to stand down in disgrace on the front of the surf club for the whole public to see," he said.

The prosecutor's office in Bosnian says a mass grave has been discovered near the capital of Sarajevo that is presumed to hold the remains of Bosnian Muslims killed during the country's 1992-95 war.

A statement the office issued on Wednesday said the mass grave was located on Mt. Igman, in a hard to access area that contains mines. It said human remains were found 1 meter (3 feet) below ground.

The prosecutor's office says the victims are probably from the village of Donji Hadzici, west of Sarajevo, who have been missing since the summer of 1992.

Nearly 7,000 people are still unaccounted for from the Bosnian war, which killed more than 100,000 people and left millions homeless.At Boston Medical Center, the Trauma Service and the Emergency Department have a longstanding legacy of providing comprehensive emergency and trauma care to the critically ill and injured.

from damage, shields ground crews from the hazard of a spinning rotor, and is much quieter than a conventional tail rotor. The ducted fan uses shorter and more numerous blades, but otherwise it is very similar to a conventional tail rotor.

McDonnell Douglas developed the NOTAR (NO TAil Rotor) system, which eliminates having any rotating parts out in the open. The NOTAR system uses a variable pitch ducted fan driven by the helicopter's powerplant, but the ducted fan is mounted inside the fuselage ahead of the tail boom, and the exhaust passes through the tail boom to the end, where it is expelled out one side. This creates a boundary layer which causes the downwash from the main rotor to hug the tail boom according to the Coandă effect.Interview with Roman Novikov - CTO at TemplateMonster

NEW DELHI: With only 1.21 lakh completed out of a targeted 4.19 lakh, the government seems to be in a race against time to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promise of ensuring toilets in all schools in the country by Independence Day this year.In his first Independence Day speech as Prime Minister, Modi had last year promised that, "next year when we stand here, every school should have toilets for girls and boys".While the target is for constructing 4.19 lakh toilets under the Swachh Vidyalaya initiative, only 1.21 lakh toilets have been completed so far even as 2 lakh toilets are in an advance stage of completion, Education Secretary Vrinda Sarup said here today."A lot of energy is there among people towards completion of the toilets," she toldreporters when asked if she was confident of meeting the deadline.Sarup and Higher Education Secretary SN Mohanty were briefing the media about the Human Resource Development Ministry's achievement as the Modi government completes one year in office. HRD Minister Smriti Irani was away in Amethi to mark the occasion.Sarup said the ministry is regularly monitoring the work with the states for fulfilling the mission, which is also being supported by central PSUs and private players.The PSUs have committed to construct 1.67 lakh toilets while the private sector will be pitching in with 4,562 toilets. A commitment for 1,600 toilets has been made under the Swachh Bharat Kosh initiative.Discussing the target for states, Sarup said that West Bengal will construct 36,000 toilets while Andhra Pradesh needs 35,000 toilets.Meanwhile, to


a query whether the 17 per cent cut in the education budget this year would impact the ministry's various programmes, Mohanty replied in the negative, saying that in the "near term, it will not dislodge our priorities".He said that neither would programmes like Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) be impacted much as a result of the cuts as it is still in the early years of implementation.However, he said that they are in talks with other ministries as far as the smooth implementation of the scholarship programmes was concerned as the recent hike in the scholarship amount has impacted the ministry by about Rs 600 to Rs 700 crore.while improving quality and reducing risk drives every decision we make.

Meaning and usage of Hades. A theologian, equally
learned as a scholar, judicious as a critic, and
impartial as a commentator, says of Hades, --

"In my judgment, it ought never in Scripture to be rendered Hell, at least in the sense wherein that
word is universally understood by Christians. It is very plain that neither in the Septuagint version
of the Old Testament, nor in the New, does the word Hades convey the meaning which the present
English word Hell, in the Christian usage, always conveys to our minds. The attempt to illustrate
this would be unnecessary, as it is hardly nowin the time of Christ. It is plain, too, that at
the time our translation was made,
"Hell" in English did not bear the exclusive meaning it has now. The Apostle's Creed, so called, is
proof of this, when it says, that Christ after his crucifixion "descended into hell!" Surely the
Protestant English Church did not mean to say that Christ went into a place of endless woe.
Therefore, as Prof. STUART says, "Hell, in this document, means the underworld, the world of the
dead, and so it has ben construed by the most intelligent critics of the English Church." It has been
very correctly said that "Hell, in its primitive signification, corresponded perfectly in meaning with
Hades. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon, helan, to cover or hide; hence the tiling or slating of a house
is


am alive forevermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell (hades) and of death."

"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and
Hell (hades) followed with him."

"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (hades) delivered
up the dead which were in them:"

"And death and hell (hades) were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

With regard to these passages, it is plain enough that the Revelator employed the word hades to
signify the region of the dead, or the kingdom of death. Death and Hades are both personified, or
represented as persons; and in chapter 4:8, Death is a king or leader, followed by his hosts, the
inhabitants of Hades, or the Dead. Andan eminent critic says that the "Hades of the Apocalypse,
is the genuine Sheol of the Hebrews; with the exception, perhaps, that the Hebrew sacred books have
nowhere represented hades as having a king over it." This poetical representation, however, is in
perfect keeping with the strongly metaphorical style of the book.

Acts 2:27, 31. " Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell (hades), neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption." Of this quotation from David, Psalm 16:10, Peter says, " He seeing this
before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell (hades), neither his flesh
did see corruption." Of course, the meaning of hades or hell, in these texts, is grave, or realm of
death, as in the preceding passages. It is the


Professor
Stuart, "to all the circumstances of the allegory. Thus, in the parable of the Good Samaritan, the
point to be illustrated, is the extent of the duty of beneficence. Most of the circumstances go to make
up merely the veri-similitude of the narration, so tht it may give pleasure to him who hears or reads
it."

3. "The point to be illustrated" in the parable of the Rich man and Lazarus, is the rejection and
punishment of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles into the privileges and blessings of the
Gospel. This is the main scope and design of the parable, and the leading particulars have
significance as follows:

(a) The Rich Man, clothed in purple and fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day, represents the
Jews, their wealth of spiritual privileges and blessings, "becausethat unto them were committed the
oracles of God" (Rom. 3:2), and they were favored with the ministry of prophets and holy men.

(b) Lazarus, the beggar, feeding on crumbs, and full of sores, represents the Gentiles, their spiritual
poverty and ignorance.

(c) Their Death, represents respectively the change in their conditions, which took place on the
setting up of the Gospel kingdom in the earth. The Rich Man dead, is the Jewish nation dead to, or
deprived of, all its former privileges and gifts of divine knowledge. Lazarus dead, is the Gentiles
dead to their former life; as death is always the opposite of life.

(d) Lazarus in Abraham's bosom, represents the Gentiles translated into the new life of Gospel faith,
and knowledge, and salvation.

(e) The Rich Man in torment represents the Jews suffering the punishment


of their sins, in the
destruction of their city and temple, and the sore calamities which have fallen on them ever since.

(f) The great gulf represents the antagonism of unbelief between Jews and Christians (Gentiles,) and
the utter want of religious sympathy and fellowship which separates the two people.

(g) The request of the Rich Man respecting his five brethren, and the reply of Abraham, are only put
in to show the obstinacy of the Jews in their refusal to believe in Christ as the Messiah; since, if their
own scriptures (Moses and the Prophets,) could not convince them, neither would they be persuaded
"if one went unto them from the dead." And this was literally and singularly verified; for when a real
Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus, the chief priests andwhen ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east,
and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of
God." or, as Matthew has it, " the children of the kingdom shall be cast out;" Luke 13:28-29; Matt.
8:11:12. Of course, "the kingdom of God" cannot refer to the immortal state, for those in that
heaven, the children of that kingdom, are not to be cast out. The kingdom here is the Gospel
kingdom on earth, "the children of the kingdom" the Jews, so-called because of the special favors
and privileges bestowed on them -- and they are cast out, and the Gentiles received


in their place;
just s the Rich Man and Lazarus change conditions, the one deprived of his "good things," and
"tormented," and the other delivered from his "evil things," and "comforted."[note 4]

[note 4: Some of the most eminent modern orthodox commentators allow of this application. Dr.
GILL, the learned Baptist critic, makes a two-fold application, and says of the latter, "it may also be
understood of the political and ecclesiastical death of the Jewish people, which lay in the destruction
of Jerusalem and the temple, and in the abolition of the temple worship and the whole ceremonial law,
and a death of afflictions by captivity and calamities of every kind, attending them ever since." In hell
in torments. "This," he says, "may regard the vengeance of God on the Jews at the destruction of
Jerusalem," etc.lib. xxv. c.13. THEOPHYLACT, A.D., 1050, elaborates this
as a probable interpretation. -- Trench on the Parable.]

Thus we see that while "Abraham's bosom," which is a Jewish idiom or phrase for the blessed life
of paradise, represents the exaltation of the Gentile world to the privileges of God's chosen people;
Hades, or the state of death, represents the national death of the Jews, or their utter desolation and
ruin as a people.

But we discover from this parable, that in the time of Christ, the Jews had partially adopted the
pagan ideas respecting Hades, or the Underworld, viz: that it contains separate apartments for the
good and bad; and that in Tartarus, the portion assigned to the wicked, there were torments, flames,
etc., in punishment of their sins.

This, and 2 Pet. 2:4, are the only passages


they were current; they adopted them from the Greek and Roman mythology, from
which they had taken many other doctrines and opinions not found in the Law or the Prophets.
Hence the words of the Savior, "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men." Matt. 15:6-9. [note 5]

[note 5: The truth is, that in the four hundred years of their intercourse with the heathen, during which
they wre without any divine teacher or message, Pagan philosophy and superstition had, so far as
regarded the future state, completely pushed aside the Law of Moses and the Scriptures of the Old
Testament, and set up in place of them the most extravagant inventions and fables respecting the
invisible world. See this abundantly proved in the author's "Origin and History of the Doctrineseen, is in its literal sense the equivalent of
Sheol in every text, save the last, in which appear the heathen
notions respecting its being a place of rewards and punishments, or the
region in which are located both hell and heaven. The following facts are
worthy of note:

1. If Hades is "hell" in the ordinary definition of the word,
then the soul of Christ was in hell after his crucifixion. "Because thou
wilt not leave my soul in hell. He spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell." Acts 2:27, 31.

2. It is equally true of all in hell, that they will not be left there; for the Revelator says, "Death and
Hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and they were judged every man according to


Stuart: "Whatever the state of either the
righteous or the wocked may be, whilst in Hades, that state will certainly cease, and be exchanged
for another at the general resurrection." [note 7]

[note 7: Those who would see an argument for Hades as an intermediate state, a view which seems
to be growing among the sects, may read an article in the Baptist "Christian Review" for April, 1862,
"The Righteous Dead, between Death and the Resurrection;" and on the other side, see "Bibliotheca
Sacra" for January, 1862, "The Spirits in Prison." The last writer thinks the idea of future
opportunities for repentance and salvation is "gaining new adherents at the present time;" and refers
to Rev. B. H. WILSON's essay on the "National Church," in the "Recent Inquiries in Theology by
eminent English Churchmen." In this essay,the author, alluding to the Limbus Infantum of the
Catholic Church, says there may be mansions hereafter for those who are "infants in spiritual
development -- nurseries, or seed grounds, where the undeveloped may grow up under new
conditions, the stunted become strong, and the perverted restored," and that finally when "Christ shall
have surrendered his kingdom to the Great Father, all, both small and great, shall find a refuge in the
bosom of the universal parent, to repose, or be quickened into higher life, in the ages to come,
according to his will." p. 232, American edition. Dr. WATTS, even, thought that "the perfections of
God will contrive a way of escape for the repentant sinner hereafter," though he has not revealed this.

The Sydney Kings delivered their best performance of the NBL season on Friday night to produce the upset of 2017-18 but what it did was open up questions over the Perth Wildcats quest for a three-peat with coach Trevor Gleeson questioning his team’s desire.

The two-time defending NBL champion Wildcats had lost their previous two matches at Perth Arena either side of Christmas, to the Brisbane Bullets and Melbourne United, but they still sat on top of the ladder heading into Friday’s clash with the bottom placed Kings.

Sydney was also without star swingman Brad Newley who remained home for the birth of his child and superstar point guard Jerome Randle was battling an adductor injury while captain Kevin Lisch was still on a minutes restriction on return fromhis torn calf.

To top that off, the Kings had never won in Perth Arena losing all 11 attempts by an average of 22.4 points while having lost their last 14 visits to Perth overall since returning to the NBL for the 2010-11 season. Overall they had won just three of 28 games against the ‘Cats in that period.

The signs all pointed to the Wildcats building on the momentum of last Sunday’s win on the buzzer thanks to Bryce Cotton over the Brisbane Bullets and to fire back emphatically after those last two losses on their home floor.

It wasn’t to be though. The Kings came out firing from the outset racing to a 10-2 lead and never fell behind the entire night.

They went on to lead by


as they attempt to win a championship three-peat for the first ever time.

Cotton was held scoreless for the first half and while he ended up with 17 points, most of those were in junk time and he was clearly outplayed by a Randle who was closer to half than full fitness.

Tokoto battled hard for 20 points and 11 rebounds while Lucas Walker had another double-double with ten points and ten boards. Jarrod Kenny and Jesse Wagstaff bobbed up to hit three three-pointers apiece.

But for much of the night, the Wildcats looked somewhere between disorganised and uninterested, which is the opposite of why they have won three of the past four NBL titles.

Gleeson couldn’t hide his frustration and disappointment following Friday’s loss, but expects and hopes for a significantthe benefit of the doubt, you lose the right to criticize him later. Even good men make mistakes. This latest trade smacks of hubris, either that Williams can do no wrong or that pitching coach Don Cooper can revive the career of any hard thrower. Edwin Jackson, even at his no-hit best, walked eight batters. He has a 5.14 ERA in the easier National League this year and a 4.74 career ERA. Daniel Hudson was cheaper, better in the long run and maybe even better for the rest of this year. Lucas Harrell, who gave up one run in six innings in his first start Friday, might also be as good as the terminally wild Jackson.

Brewers a perfect role model

The Brewers have had two winning seasons in 18


years and play in the smallest market in baseball, yet they’ve drawn 3 million fans two years in a row and are on pace for 2.8 million this year. The Twins are selling out virtually every game in their new park and the long-dormant Reds lead the NL Central.

Small-market teams can compete. The Twins outdrew the Yankees between 1987 and 1994, even in the Metrodome. Baseball’s problem is limited to four cities that showed little interest in baseball, even when they had winning teams: Oakland, Miami, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh.

Area baseball talent overflows

A great year for area baseball keeps getting better. Belvidere North senior Brandon Schwebke has been invited to tryouts in Kissimmee, Fla., for the USSSA U-17 national team and North freshman Tanner Kehrer to the U-14team. Each division features 120 players competing for 18 spots to play in the 2011 Gold Medal Cup against international teams.

Also, Cody Scarpetta (Guilford) is 6-8 with a 3.32 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 972/3 innings in the Florida State League in High Class A ball, while Jake Smolinski (Boylan), after a slow start, is hitting .246 with 3 HRs and 31 RBIs in the FSL.

severe adverse reactions after the HPV vaccine. None of the included studies found evidence of increased risk of autoimmune disease, neurological disorder, or venous thromboembolism (31).

The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS), established by the World Health Organization (WHO) provides independent, scientifically rigorous advice on vaccine-safety issues. In December 2013, the committee reviewed different topics and considered all available evidence on the safety of HPV vaccines, and concluded that both commercially available vaccines are safe (32). Likewise, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Gynecologic Oncologic Committee and Subcommittee for Cervical Cancer Prevention support the continued administration of the HPV vaccines in appropriate populations (33).

7. Recent safety concerns: the chronicle of events

Although some isolated cases of side effects had been described in UK and Australia (34),Japan was the first country reporting on several girls suffering from severe pain and disability; these cases were heavily publicised in newspapers, TV news and social media, but they also alarmed the medical community. Japanese physicians published later on a series of 44 girls who were diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome(CRPS) (35). Due to these concerns, in June 2013 the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) decided to suspend its active recommendation of HPV vaccination. This decision created intense debate among scientists and general public, which continues until nowadays (34).

In March 2015, Denmark‘s TV channel TV2 aired a documentary entitled The Vaccinated Girls – Sick and Betrayed. The journalists gathered about 60 girls from all over Denmark who became sick shortly after receiving the HPV


President Donald Trump is expected to dissolve the Office of Personnel Management at some point during this summer, according to a report from the Washington Post.

What is the Office of Personnel Management?

The Office of Personnel Management works as sort of a massive human resources agency for the federal government. According to its website, "OPM directs human resources and employee management services, administers retirement benefits, manages healthcare and insurance programs, oversees merit-based and inclusive hiring into the civil service, and provides a secure employment process."

In 2019, OPM had a self-declared total operating budget of $295,920,000.

Trump only recently appointed a new head to the agency, nominating Dale Cabaniss of Virginia on March 4.

What would happen?

The Washington Post reported that Trump plans to break up the agency into three sections, whichwould be absorbed by the Defense Department, the General Services Administration, and the Office of Management and Budget. Initially, all employees would be reassigned to one of these different sections, rather than being laid off. However, the total number of employees would be slowly reduced by not replacing those who retire or who leave due to other reasons. Currently, the agency employs 5,565 people.

The acting head of the agency, Margaret Weichert, called the move "a big, exemplary step," according to the Washington Post. She said that the agency was "fundamentally not set up for success, structurally."

Democrats like Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., spoke out strongly against this move, calling it executive overreach. However, as the Washington Post noted, both the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign had considered


dissolving the agency.

But why?

This could be a move to help shrink the overall size of the federal government. While Trump has spoken repeatedly about cutting federal spending, including asking members of his own cabinet in October to cut 5 percent of their budgets, spending has ballooned under his leadership.

Federal government spending during the first six months of this fiscal year was 13.7 percent higher than it was during former President Barack Obama's final year in office. The federal budget deficit, the amount the government spends beyond what it takes in, for the first six months of the year came to $693 billion, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates. It is expected to pass $1 trillion in 2020.

The federal budget deficit differs from the national debt, which is madeof the envelopes have sometimes occurred.

When making extra prints, such a film cassette containing a developed film is forwarded to a photo-lab, in the same way as for developing and printing.
However, because the appearance of film cassettes containing developed film is not distinguishable from cassettes containing exposed but undeveloped film, it is troublesome to sort out films intended for extra printing from
