they love together and maybe most importantly, they play fantasy football together.

They compete against each other in the Two-Minute Drillers league, a 10-team half-point-PPR, half-point-for-first-downs redraft league that has banned kickers. Comprised of college friends (including Josh and Matthew) and family, the league has three different couples competing with each other.

Tracy loves her some fantasy football. They set up two TVs in their house every Sunday, one for the Chiefs and one for Red Zone, and Tracy will watch football all day, from start to finish. Yeah, Tracy is one of us.

The league, and her fantasy football team, became increasingly important to Tracy.

That's because, in 2017, Tracy noticed she was having a difficult time finding words and keeping her train of thought. The tumor was located on theleft hemisphere of the brain, which mostly affected her speech. The chemo wasn't working. The tumor had grown much faster than anticipated. She needed another surgery and she needed it soon.

Her surgeon, Kurt notes, is Dr. Paul Camarata, the head of neurosurgery at the University of Kansas, and he has given her excellent care.

Tracy's second surgery for her brain tumor was planned for Dec. 12. Right during the fantasy semifinals, which Tracy was in.

Against Kurt.

Tracy had two important battles to win that day.

But first things first: At 7 a.m., Tracy was put under anesthesia. The surgery was supposed to last eight hours or so, but ended up lasting 12, which of course is not ideal.

You see, the interesting thing Kurt told me about this particular surgery was that


once her surgeon opened up Tracy's cranial cavity, they were going to "wake her up" with conscious sedation. They needed to do that so they could map the tumor and determine which areas of her brain were tumorous and which were vital. And the surgery was taking much longer than expected.

So while Tracy was "awake," to continue to keep her talking and make sure they were able to map the tumor correctly, her speech pathologist started asking her specific questions ... about her fantasy team. A subject Tracy was passionate about. So Tracy took the pathologist through her semifinal-bound roster (Drew Brees, Kareem Hunt, Adam Thielen, Doug Baldwin), the fact that David Johnson was injured and whether she should start Paul Richardson, among many fantasy-related topics.

Yes, you readspoke to Kurt earlier this week to ask for an update on Tracy and he told me she's doing as well as can be expected. Little victories.

She's off chemo and after 33 days of radiation, her last MRI in April of this year showed the tumor is shrinking. She's currently on disability from her job as a registered nurse while she goes though therapy, but she volunteers at her church's pantry, she sings in the church choir and, of course, she's prepping hard for the upcoming season in the Two-Minute Drillers league.

Turns out she lost in the finals again last year, as she rode Patrick Mahomes (she loves her


offense won't be, especially on the road against the Eagles with Case Keenum under center and no Trent Williams protecting his blind side. Expect a turnover or two, giving a short field to Wentz, who since the start of 2017 is the fifth-best QB in fantasy, which includes multiple touchdown passes in each of his past three games against Washington. Wentz is healthy and surrounded by the best supporting cast of his career, including a #revengegame narrative for DeSean Jackson. More on him later, but suffice it to say that last season the Redskins gave up multiple touchdown passes in nine games and Sunday, it will happen again.

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys, vs. Giants (ESPN projection: 21.2 points): Wait, what? I'm a lifelong Redskins fan and my first twothose instances, the back went over 95 total yards OR scored a TD. A quiet preseason erupts into a fantasy star Monday night.

Chris Carson, Seattle Seahawks, vs. Bengals (ESPN projection: 15.7 points): The season-long love starts with a big Week 1. The Seahawks employed not only the run-heaviest offense in the NFL last season, but actually hold that distinction over the past seven seasons. NBC Sports reported that, heading into the team's third preseason game, Rashaad Penny was losing ground on Carson in terms of a role in this offense. Carson ended last season with four straight games of at least 90 rushing yards and a TD. The Seahawks are an almost double-digit home favorite, so Carson will be busy and productive Sunday.

Others receiving votes: If there was


total below 40 points, this isn't a spot where I'm expecting fantasy fireworks.

Mike Williams, Los Angeles Chargers, vs. Colts (ESPN projection: 12.7 points): Like Anderson, I'm a fan of BMW (Big Mike Williams) for the season as a whole, but I'm not going that direction this weekend. Indy, the third-best defense against wide receivers last season, ranked 11th in touchdown prevention on red zone drives, a strength amplified by the fact that the Colts ranked third in terms of limiting such drives. As we've discussed, a bad offensive line means a lot of dump-offs to Ekeler and close-to-the-line-of-scrimmage stuff with Keenan Allen.

Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts, at Chargers (ESPN projection: 7.4 points): He was on the preseason hate list for the inevitable touchdown regression, and that was before Andrewold world aesthetics retrofitted with modern technology. The surroundings include lava, gallows and a torture room, where players will want to stick close to their teammates.

The additional 18% stake forms the latest tranche of shares Premji has allocated for charity.The Giving Pledge is an effort to invite the world's wealthiest individuals and families to commit half of their wealth to philanthropic causes and charitable organisations. In his pledge in 2013, Premji said he believes that those who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged. "Over the past 15 years, I have tried to put this belief intoaction through my personal philanthropic work. Over these years, I have irrevocably transferred a significant part of the shareholding in Wipro, amounting to 39% of the shares of Wipro, to a trust (of which ownership of 21.14% was transferred and for the balance, the trust is entitled to the beneficial interest of dividends and sale proceeds)," Premji wrote in a letter to shareholders.People close to Premji said he has been quietly and steadily been transferring wealth to fund philanthropy."Apart from the Tata Trust, nothing comes close to the commitment made by him on this front," said a person who knows him well. "And now, he has two engines to carry on philanthropy—the Azim Premji Foundation, and the newly formed Philanthropic Initiatives formed to making grants to NGOs."Last year,


Premji hired Amnesty India head G Anantha Padmanabhan to build an organisation that will offer grants to external agencies."The new initiative of making grants to NGOs has just started under what we call Philanthropic Initiatives. We are continuing to look at various areas, e.g., nutrition, water — the only area that we have decided on is support to NGOs working with the most vulnerable people — eg, street children, urban homeless, teenage girls from disadvantaged communities, women at risk of violence," said Anurag Behar, CEO of Azim Premji Foundation and vice-chancellor of Azim Premji University."The Foundation's work continues to expand and deepen in helping improve public (government) school education across seven states, which have about 350,000 schools. The university that we run also continues to expand. This year,we have launched a Master's in public policy and governance and also our undergraduate programme," Behar added.Philanthropy has been on the rise among the rich in India as Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, the world's richest person, and business magnate Warren Buffet urged the wealthy to give their fortunes to charitable causes.According to the Hurun Research Institute, at least 50 individuals donated over Rs 10 crore to philanthropic causes in 2014.Premji, Anil Agarwal, Shiv Nadar and Ratan Tata were the most generous givers in India, according to the Hurun India Philanthropy List 2014.

This loop represents yet another DnaJ homologue in that it contains a region of approximately 70 residue similarity to the 'J box', the most conserved region of the DnaJ family of proteins. In the presence of ATP, under conditions in which BiP can bind to Sec63p, the secretory precursor passes from the cytosol into the lumen through a membrane channel formed by Sec61p. A second route to the membrane pore that is used by many other secretory precursors, particularly in mammalian cells, requires that the polypeptide engage the ER membrane as the nascent chain emerges from the ribosome. Such cotranslational translocation bypasses the need for certain Sec proteins, instead utilizing

A team of Russian experts recently submitted reports to the UN detailing how chemical weapons used in Syriausing chemical weapons? The answer is abundantly clear for anyone looking at the situation impartially.

Is there still hope for Geneva talks?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hit the nail on the head when he called for the US to either choose to stage a peace conference or continue to channel arms to militants and non-state actors in Syria – obviously, it cannot do both.

The possibility of peace talks between the Syrian government and representatives of the fragmented array of armed groups is again uncertain, as Moscow accuses Washington of encouraging the rebels not to cooperate or negotiate. The situation on the ground in Syria shows that Assad has claimed the upper hand, following the recapturing of the strategic town of Qusair by government forces.

The recent resignation of Ghassan Hitto,


the ‘interim prime minister’ of the Syrian Opposition Coalition further illustrates the ineptitude of the foreign-funded opposition, which has been created solely to secure the interests of its US-Qatari-Saudi sponsors in a post-Assad scenario.

In light of the changing situation on the ground, the US has increased the number of combat-ready troops to almost 1,000 in neighboring Jordan following an earlier announcement that it will leave Patriot missiles and warplanes in the country.

Following the recent Russian studies of chemical weapons use by the rebels, Damascus has invited chief UN chemical weapons investigator Ake Sellstrom and UN disarmament chief Angela Kane for talks following announcements that a rebel-linked storage site containing copious amounts of dangerous chemicals had been discovered.

John Tory says city staff who were investigating a $1.25 buy-in for the games at a community centre should back off and let senior citizens play in peace.

A spokeswoman for Tory says staff were investigating the games as illegal gambling and ordered the buy-in lowered to 25 cents while the probe was underway.

Tory says he's sure that if there's any danger of "Las Vegas-style gambling breaking out en masse" in Toronto's community centres, the city will know about it.

He says there's more important issues to deal with in Toronto, so the Parks and Recreation department should reinstate the higher buy-in and just let the seniors

Bullet casings and plastic Easter eggs lay scattered in the grass after a gunfight broke out Sunday in a park crowded with families and children celebrating the holiday.

When police arrived at Alfred "Al" Barnes Jr. Park around 5 p.m., two young men were dead and two others were rushed to Tampa General Hospital with serious injuries.

A person dressed as the Easter bunny, who had been entertaining families earlier, joined children behind crime scene tape as investigators combed the scene.

"It was a family day," said Lt. Ronald McMullen, a spokesman for Tampa police. "We had been in and out of the parks all day. And it was family fun."

Police identified the dead as Nico Charles Crawford, 22, and Zedmon Culpepper, 17, both from Tampa. Police were not yet identifying


the persons who were injured, whom McMullen described as a male and a female, both in critical but stable condition.

The park, at 2902 N 32nd St. north of Ybor City, was filled with families observing the holiday with barbecues, an Easter egg hunt and other traditions. At least some of the shooting victims were at the park with their families as well, McMullen said.

Shawn Howard, 36, was driving by the park earlier in the afternoon with her two daughters when she saw the holiday festivities and decided to stop.

"It was so nice and peaceful as everyone's celebrating Easter," Howard said. "And then this happened and everyone's running everywhere."

Howard made sure her daughters were safe before she moved closer to the baseball diamond near where the shots were fired.

"WhenI saw them on the ground, I thought, 'That's somebody's child,' " Howard said. "The girl, she looked like she wanted to get up but couldn't."

Howard knelt by the female victim and held her until police arrived. Police suspect the female victim, who was shot in the torso and wrist, was a bystander caught in the crossfire.

"She kept saying, 'My stomach is burning,' " Howard said. "I just held her and tried to keep her calm."

McMullen said police were searching for three to four people who left the scene before officers arrived, describing them as "persons of interest." Police took one person into custody later Sunday evening, he said, but had not named him as a suspect.

Police searched the grass surrounding one of the bodies for shell casings,


trying to determine how many shots were fired. A purple Easter basket, its handle snapped in half, lay nearby. Plastic eggs — blue, yellow, orange and purple — covered the distance between the body and the playground.

"Easter is a day of religion and celebration," said Tameka Johnson, 38. "It's so sad. How could this happen when children were around?"

Added Tanya Benton, 37: "I would never bring my children to something like this on Easter now. My heart goes out to all of the children."

McMullen said the shooting was not a random act, but part of an ongoing dispute. The victims were in their late teens and early 20s and were not related, he said. All four were shot in the upper body at least once.

Pablo Picasso's "Seated Nude drying her feet" was stolen during the Nazi era. Returned after the war, it can be admired today in Museum Berggruen in Berlin. Hamburg's Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe is preparing to return an Afghan wall panel that is also regarded as looted art. Hermanus Koekoek's painting "Seesturm," from persecuted Jewish art collector Max Stern's collection, was returned a few days ago, shortly before it was put up for sale in Düsseldorf.

These represent three recent cases of restitution — two of which were expropriations by the Nazis. But according to Ronald Lauder, president of the Jewish World Congress, Germany is still reluctant when it comes to returning stolen works of art. Lauder is set to speak Monday at a conference in Berlin marking the20th anniversary of the Washington Principles. In 1998, 44 signatory countries made a commitment to track down stolen art in public museums and find settlements for the heirs of the Nazi victims. However, this commitment does not apply to privately owned art. In the last 20 years, Germany has "done far too little," Lauder told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag earlier in November.

JWC President Ronald Lauder, seen here in October with German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at Berlin's first Orthodox rabbinical ordination since the Holocaust, says Germany has a "done far too little" about the Nazis' theft of cultural heritage

Hartmut Ebbing, the cultural policy spokesperson for the business-friendly Free Democrats (FDP) party, told DW that he "fully agrees" with Lauder that the issue of restitution is still being


"neglected" in Germany. As the country where the Holocaust took place, Germany has a "moral obligation" in the matter, he said.

Cultural heritage legitimacy is 'up to us'

But that may be changing in the wake of increased public consciousness: The origin of paintings is now even the subject of several exhibitions, including a current show in Berlin. "The Lives of Images. Provenances in Museum Berggruen. Picasso-Klee-Braque-Matisse," shows the partly twisted and sometimes criminal paths in the histories of the exhibited works. From 2015 to 2018, experts examined whether 135 pre-1945 works from Jewish art collector Heinz Berggruen's former private collection were Nazi looted art. The works are now owned by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Max Beckmann, Zandvoort Beach Cafe, 1934 The watercolor by the Jewish painter Max Beckmann entered Gurlitt's collection only in 1945. Held by the allied occupation forces at the Central Collecting Point in Wiesbaden from 1945-1950, it was returned to Hildebrand Gurlitt in 1950. Before working for the Nazi regime, Gurlitt had collected and exhibited modern art, curating Beckmann's last exhibition in 1936 before the artist fled Germany.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork


come from? Otto Griebel, Veiled Woman, 1926 This work was owned by lawyer and art collector Fritz Salo Glaser. Artists of Dresden's avant-garde scene were his guests in the 1920s — as was the young Hildebrand Gurlitt. It is not known how Gurlitt came to possess the painting. It was confiscated in 1945 and later returned. Of Jewish heritage, Glaser only narrowly avoided deportation to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1945.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Claude Monet, Waterloo Bridge, 1903 This painting by the famous impressionist is not suspected to have been looted. The artist sold it to the Durand Ruel Gallery in 1907. The Jewish art merchant and publisher Paul Cassirer is said to have given it to Marie Gurlitt as a present, andshe left it to her son Hildebrand Gurlitt in 1923.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Thomas Couture, Portrait of a Seated Young Woman, 1850 This work by the French painter was only recently identified as a looted work of art. A short handwritten note was the clue for the provenance researchers. The picture was quite likely in the collection of the Jewish politician Georges Mandel, whose family stakes a claim to the work. It is not known how it came into Gurlitt's possession.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Auguste Rodin, Crouching Woman, approx. 1882 Hildebrand Gurlitt must have acquired this work by the French sculptor between 1940 and 1945. Previously belonging to the Frenchman Eugene Rudier, it entered circulation in 1919 at an auction


by Octave Henri Marie Mirbeau, who is said to have received it as a present from the artist.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? In Gurlitt's apartment Cornelius Gurlitt hoarded the sculpture along with many other artworks for decades in his Munich apartment. Before his death in 2014, he consented to have his stocks researched and — should they include articles of stolen art — have them returned to their rightful owners in accordance with the Washington Principles on Nazi-looted art.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Albrecht Dürer, Knight, Death and Devil, 1513 This copper engraving by Albrecht Dürer once belonged to the Falkeisen-Huber Gallery in Basel. It is not known how it got there or how long it was there however. In 2012 theengraving turned up in Cornelius Gurlitt's collection. "Old masters" like Dürer were very important to the National Socialists' view of art and were often exploited for propaganda.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Edvard Munch, Ashes II, 1899 The provenance of this drawing is completely unknown. It is certain, however, that Hitler considered Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's work "degenerate art." Some 82 pieces by Munch were confiscated in German museums in 1937.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Francois Boucher, Male Nude, undated Hitler venerated 18th century French painting. He secured exceptional paintings for his own collection by targeting the collection of the Rothschild Family after the annexation of Austria. Hildebrand Gurlitt supplemented them with drawings by renowned French painters. He acquired this work by Boucher


from a Parisian art merchant in 1942.

Where did the Gurlitt collection artwork come from? Carl Spitzweg: Alpine Valley with Dairymaid, 1871 This painting was probably Hitler's personal property from 1934 onward. Not a part of the Gurlitt collection, it has been on loan from the Federal Republic of Germany since 1973 and shown in Dusseldorf's Kunstpalast Museum. The image reflects Hitler's taste in art, and he wished to have such works at the "Führer Museum."

African looted art

In the case of Nazi looted art, the discussion has at least been going on for quite some time, as the Washington Principles show. However, such discussions are still at very early stages in Germany and Europe, regarding art that came to Europe from colonies in Africa and Asia. Today, many ofthe former colonies are demanding the works of art be returned. In France, none other than President Emmanuel Macron has committed to this. It highly controversial in his country, and he has also put Germany under pressure.

In Germany, there are two particular events next year that will put the topic on the agenda. In 1919, exactly 100 years ago, Germany lost its colonies in Africa, Asia and the Pacific under the Treaty of Versailles. And in 2019, the new Humboldt Forum will also open its doors and exhibit valuable cultural objects from different parts of the world. Grütters has said that, for far too long, the German colonial period has been "an almost blind spot" in the German culture of remembrance.

The 12:50 p.m. incident occurred at the end of the lunch break toward the north end of the Elsie Allen campus in an area that houses Midrose, a small alternative school for students trying to make up academic credits. The suspect, whose name was not released because he isa juvenile, attends Midrose, which has about 70 students.

During the brief and bloody attack, another student tried to intervene and "pull the teacher and the other kid apart," Linscomb said.

That student wasn't hurt in the scuffle, and the teacher and the boy who attacked him both fled out of the classroom and into a courtyard. The teacher called 911. Students who witnessed the attack told police they saw the boy head north to a gate in the campus fence that led into the Bellevue Ranch neighborhood, Linscomb said.

Police found the teen about three blocks north of campus at a relative's home on Silver Spur Drive.

Officers found what appeared to be the boy's bloody clothes in the neighborhood along the youth's "escape route," Linscomb said. Late Wednesday, police had


not yet found the pencil, he said.

A man who answered the door where the boy was taken into police custody said he was a relative and the boy lived elsewhere in Santa Rosa with his parents.

The man, who didn't want to be identified, said his family was struggling to understand what took place with the youth and that he was "sorry it had gotten to this point."

Police don't yet understand what might have motivated the attack, Linscomb said. The boy didn't have a known history of violence, he said.

The stabbing elicited a large-scale police response.

The entire 980-student campus was on lockdown. Students were quarantined in classrooms with the blinds drawn, lights off and doors locked. They were instructed to stay quiet.

"If any student witnessed the incident that happened at lunch today... you are to tell your teacher immediately," she said.

Many students contacted home by cellphone and text message, prompting parents and relatives to begin lining up outside the school almost two hours before the final bell, worried about the students inside.

The man, who didn't want to be identified, said his family was struggling to understand what took place with the youth and that he was "sorry it had gotten to this point."

Police don't yet understand what might have motivated the attack, Linscomb said. The boy didn't have a known history of violence, he said.

The stabbing elicited a large-scale police response.

The entire 980-student campus was on lockdown. Students were quarantined in classrooms with the blinds drawn, lights off and doors locked. They were instructed to stay quiet.

Wednesday afternoon, an officer placed yellow police tape around beams in the northern courtyard outside a door under the Midrose High School sign as a police


dog sniffed around the bushes.

Abigail Suarez, 16, said she and her classmates in a public safety class sat silent, some doing homework but most typing messages to each other and to their families on their cellphones.

"My Dad texted me after the school called," Suarez said, referring to an automated message school officials sent out to parents. "I was a little nervous."

Oman Morales, 15, said he was about to take a test in a human anatomy class, but it was postponed.

"I was never scared because I knew what was happening," Morales said.

At just after 2 p.m., Stablein informed teachers via the campus intercom that lessons could resume, but that students were required to remain in class.

"You must keep all students in the classroom at this time," she said overthe loudspeaker. "You may turn on the lights and you may return to instruction, but you need to keep all students inside the classroom."

"If any student witnessed the incident that happened at lunch today... you are to tell your teacher immediately," she said.

Many students contacted home by cellphone and text message, prompting parents and relatives to begin lining up outside the school almost two hours before the final bell, worried about the students inside.

Among them was Julie Hernandez, 29, who received a text from one of two nieces who attend Elsie Allen and who was nervous, not knowing what was going on.

"This is tense," Hernandez said, as she waited outside the closed gate among a steadily building group. "We're just waiting and waiting and waiting."

Raul Perez, 27, said


he drove to campus after his brother, an Elsie Allen senior, called him and told him about the stabbing.

"They should have more security," Perez said of the campus.

During the lockdown, Stablein came out to talk to a group of parents gathered outside the schools' main doors and told them the teacher was "doing well" and explained lockdown procedures.

"The lockdown is the safest situation. ... I am treating your children as if they were my own," she said.

The lockdown ended around 2:45 p.m. and students began streaming out at the regular 3 p.m. bell.

Ahlborn, a graduate of Elsie Allen, has been a teacher at Midrose for approximately five years, according to co-principal Tony Negri.

"Kids really love him," he said. "Tyler is considered one of the best teachers around."

Ahlborn, anavid rugby player, teaches English, social studies and a number of other subjects at Midrose.

"He gets along well with the kids," Negri said of Ahlborn. "He can be jovial, but (he's) a good disciplinarian and gets their attention when he needs to.

"He's very diplomatic, very intelligent," he said. "He's the kind of teacher you are proud of."

School officials are expected to meet and counsel students Thursday.

Anyone with information about the case can call the Santa Rosa police violent crimes team at 543-3590.

Pot of Gold

This weekend, the lovely Cheryl (@lawstore) and I embarked on a sneaky road trip down to Ballarat for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week’s regional runway show.

Arriving in Ballarat, the home of the world’s richest Gold Rush of the 1800s, was like driving back in time – and the city centre really was like finding a pot of gold for us. Filled with elegant buildings, it was all about the retro-chic feel – but a warning for any modern, sleek-yearning bloggers – there were no crisp white walls anywhere to be seen.

He said participants in the talks had agreed to set up a special body that would outline ways of a constitutional reform and provide recommendations on parliamentary and presidential elections. In his words, these positions had been included in a final document.

The money stolen had been raised as part of a campaign to aid the Standing Rock Sioux Native American tribe, which was protesting the construction of an oil pipeline near tribal land, said Lucy Flores, a former Our Revolution board member. The group still gave the tribe the $242,924 it promised, using other funds it had raised, according to its tax filing. "We’d done fundraising specifically on behalf of the tribe, and to have that money just be gone and never reach its intended purpose was unacceptable," Flores told POLITICO. "So we decided to give them the money that was raised and take the loss as an organization."

Weeks before the tragic events of Charlottesville, the City of St. Louis was embroiled in a controversy over the removal of the Confederate memorial located in Forest Park. Though talk of relocating the memorial began in 2015, Mayor Lyda Krewson, who assumed office in April of this year, revived the discussion, strongly advocating its removal. Arguments were raised on both sides of the issue. There were some demonstrations — largely nonviolent, thankfully. And the memorial, which was dedicated in 1914, was ultimately removed in June.

WHERE WE WORK

SENEGAL

Senegal is located on the westernmost tip of Africa. It is home to 13 million people and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Mauritania and the Sahara desert to the north, Mali to the east, and the Republic of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau to the south.

Due to the warm and welcoming nature of its people, Senegal is known as the land of Téranga, meaning hospitality. It is also renowned for its rich culture, which results from an interesting mix of tradition, worldly influences, and modernity. Senegal is also known for its exquisite traditional food, rhythmic music and long-standing traditions of excellence, entrepreneurship, peace and stability.

Since its independence in 1960 and despite a low-level civil war in the Casamance region, Senegal has enjoyed relative politicalthe northwest of Senegal about 200 miles north of Senegal’s capital city of Dakar, Saint-Louis is the epitome of hospitality, elegance, and refinement. It is one of the best introductions to Africa, and its exceptional past gives it the distinctive international recognition of being a UNESCO world heritage site.

Saint-Louis was the capital of the French colony from 1673 until its independence in 1960. About 225,000 people live there, 51.1% of whom are women. As many as 49% of women, including those who are disabled, live under the poverty line.

Though it remained an important tourist attraction and trading center, when Dakar became the sole capital of the country after the nation’s independence, Saint-Louis’ economy began to decline, with many of the town’s shops, offices, and businesses gradually closing. As


a result, jobs and human potential were lost, leading to decreased economic activities and a general decline. Women in particular were the most affected. Amongst them are disabled women for whom economic activity is vital.

CASAMANCE

Casamance has the ingredients of an earthly paradise: lush vegetation, beautiful beaches fringed by coconut trees and hospitable people. It is a rare and authentic place with a mild climate, abundant rainfall and fertile lands that make it a potential breadbasket for the rest of Senegal. Fields and fishing activities sculpt its landscape and economy.

As a crossroad in the West African sub-region, Casamance is a melting pot: a cultural mosaic of ethnicities and religions. Its population of 340,000 inhabitants, 53% of whom are women, is characterized by great diversity, which is a source ofwealth and a factor in tolerance. It is undoubtedly the most harmonious region of Senegal in terms of religious and cultural integration.

Located in Southern Senegal, 300 miles from Senegal’s capital city of Dakar, Casamance is the most isolated and arguably the most beautiful region of Senegal. It inherited colonial borders with Gambia to the North and Guinea Bissau to the South. Gambia and Guinea Bissau are respectively Anglophone and Lusophone countries, which contributes to Ziguinchor (Casamance) not connecting directly with the rest of the Senegalese territory, physically that is.

This isolation significantly impacts Casamance and causes major rifts in the country, including: repeated revolts against perceived economic and geographic isolation or anything that threatens the prevailing free and independent values there; the sinking of the Ferry named the Diola


which remains on of the worst civilian maritime disasters of our time; and finally, more than 30 years of armed conflict to thwart a rebellion sponsoring the independence of Casamance.

The rebellion in particular caused major disruptions to the economic and social development of the region and resulted in massive internal displacement of women and families who were victims of landmines and violence. These same women perform two-thirds of all labor and play a key role in the peace process, thus deserving special attention to be propelled out of the lack of opportunity and extreme poverty they face.Daniel Czepko von Reigersfeld

Daniel Czepko von Reigersfeld (1605–1660) was a German Lutheran poet and dramatist, known for his mystical verse influenced by Jacob Böhme. "Czepko" was his family name, so he is commonly known as Daniel Czepko.

Life
His father was a Lutheran pastor. He studied medicine at Leipzig, and then went to Strasbourg to study law. He became acquainted with Matthias Bernegger, before returning to Silesia.

Works
Czepko wrote a collection of religious epigrams, the Sexcenta Monodisticha Sapientum. It was an influence on Angelus Silesius.

note, the referendum questions were not identical across the state. Each county decided what exactly it would ask its voters. In six counties, the referendums focused on legalizing the adult use of cannabis—recreational legalization. All six of these counties were in favor of legalization: Dane County (76%), Milwaukee County (70%), Racine County (59%), Rock County (69%), La Crosse County (63%), and Eau Claire County (54%). Eleven counties and the city of Waukesha offered referendums on legalizing medical use of cannabis. All eleven counties and Waukesha approved of medicinal legalization: Clark County (67%), Brown County (75%), Forest County (78%), Kenosha County (88%), Langlade County (77%), Lincoln County (81%), Marathon County (82%), Marquette County (78%), Portage County (83%), Sauk County (80%), Racine County (85%), and the city of Waukesha (77%).

It would have been irrational to expect Jodeci to make as big as splash with a 2015 album as they did with Forever My Lady.


Since that 1991 debut, the group had a major ripple effect on their genre that had yet to cease when the group reconvened. Every R&B singer who portrayed himself as a lustful player, as well as those who were inspired merely by gorgeous ballads like "Come & Talk to Me" and "Love U 4 Life," from R. Kelly to Trey Songz, owes a lot to Jodeci. While The Past, The Present, The Future contains some references to the back catalog, as well as a pair of co-productions from Timbaland -- who got his start with Jodeci -- the album isn't overtly nostalgic. "Nobody Wins" features B.o.B., who was a toddler in 1991 and has a much younger fan base, but the song was a bold choice for thealbum's first single. In stark contrast with commercial hits, it addresses domestic violence. Follow-up single "Checkin' for You" is more in line with '90s Jodeci, a balance between arrogance and romance with the type of harmonizing no one else can deliver. Most of the other songs -- everything was co-written and co-produced by DeVante Swing -- add to the album's legitimacy, and the past and present are indeed woven together throughout. The mostly piano-and-strings ballad "Jennifer," for instance, dates back to the group's formation; in its earliest incarnation, the song was sung by JoJo just before he was brought into the group. "Incredible," though a bit nasally in the chorus, interpolates the S.O.S. Band as effectively as "What About Us" drew from Zapp. No opportunistic cash-in on a


An anti-nuclear weapons campaign group accepted the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize during the elaborate awards ceremony on Sunday in Oslo. The Norwegian Nobel Committee had picked the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) for its work on addressing the gap in international law regarding the restriction of nuclear weapons.

In her acceptance speech, Beatrice Fihn, executive director of ICAN, warned that mankind's total destruction at the hands of nuclear weapons was just one "impulsive tantrum away."

"Will it be the end of nuclear weapons, or will it be the end of us?" Fihn asked, referring to the ongoing exchange of threats between United States President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

Award ceremony in Stockholm

Meanwhile, the recipients of the Nobel Prizes for medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economics received their awards in Stockholm.

Americans Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne received the Nobel Prize for Physics for the first direct observation of universal gravitational waves while the award for Chemistry was given to Jacques Dubochet of Switzerland, American Joachim Frank, and Briton Richard Henderson for


discoveries in cryo-electron microscopy that provide detailed imagery of biomolecules invisible to the human eye.

American scientists Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their research into how the internal biological clocks of organisms align themselves with natural cycles of night and day.

Richard H. Thaler of the US was recognized with the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work in behavioral economics focused on "understanding the psychology of economics," while Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro, best known for his Booker Prize-winning novel "The Remains of the Day," received the Nobel Prize for Literature for works that uncover "the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."

The event was attended by Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and his family.

The Lexus 2054 is a concept car designed by Harald Belker for the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Minority Report. The vehicle was shown being built at an  automated factory in the film, and later driven by star Tom Cruise in several action sequences.

History
In 2002, Lexus was requested by Steven Spielberg, a Lexus owner himself, to design a vehicle that would fit the requirements of year 2054 for his movie adaptation of the Philip K. Dick short story Minority Report. Designer Harald Belker worked with Calty, the Toyota/Lexus design studio in California. They came up with an advanced vehicle that would run on fuel cells and have many advanced safety features, including a crashproof structure and biometric security systems.

In 2002, they were adjudicated by the county court for Wayne County, sitting as a juvenile court, as children described by Neb.Rev.Stat. § 43-247(3)(a) (Cum.Supp. 2002) due to abuse by their biological father. The court placed the children in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). DHHS placed the children in foster care, and eventually, the foster parents were made guardians of the children. However, this guardianship was dissolved in 2003 and the temporary care, custody, and control of the children were returned to DHHS by the court.
*616 The case was subsequently transferred to the county court for Franklin County, sitting as a juvenile court. In April 2004, the children were placed in a foster home


with Marlin M. and Sharon M. in Franklin, Nebraska. On November 1, Marlin and Sharon filed a petition with the county court for Franklin County, sitting as a juvenile court, requesting that they be appointed legal guardians for Priscilla and Antonio. Their request was consistent with the case plan formulated by DHHS, which recommended guardianship for the children as the permanency objective. At a December 20 hearing, the court adopted the case plan and concluded that the "permanency goal" was guardianship. The guardian ad litem did not object to the case plan. However, he did question whether the guardianship would affect the children's future eligibility for the State of Nebraska's former ward program which provides educational and insurance benefits to former state wards. Because of this issue, thehearing was continued until January 24, 2005.
Prior to the rescheduled hearing, Marlin and Sharon filed an amended petition in which they requested that they be appointed guardians of Priscilla and Antonio, but that DHHS "retain custody" of the children while "care" of the children was placed with Marlin and Sharon by the establishment of the guardianship. Marlin and Sharon requested that DHHS be "relieved of the obligation to supervise" the children and requested that the guardian ad litem be required to file a report at review hearings as to the placement and progress of the children. The petition also alleged that it was in the children's best interests to qualify for the State's former ward program. On January 3, 2005, DHHS filed an application for change of custody


and establishment of guardianship, requesting that Marlin and Sharon be appointed guardians of the children and that DHHS "be relieved of all supervisory, custodial and case management obligations in this matter."
A hearing on Marlin and Sharon's amended petition and the application filed by DHHS was held on January 24, 2005. Marlin and Sharon both testified that they were willing to accept guardianship of the children. Subsidized guardianship agreements entered into between DHHS and Marlin and Sharon were offered and received into evidence. Marlin testified that although both children had aspirations of postsecondary education, he and Sharon would be financially unable to aid the children in obtaining those goals. Marlin further testified that Priscilla in particular was very interested in "the thought of having an actual mom and dad"and that this achievement would be "very important for her mentality and self-being." The children's caseworker testified that Priscilla wanted "a permanent place so she doesn't have to worry about movin' and she has a mom and dad." The caseworker testified that even if the guardianship would affect the children's eligibility for former ward benefits, establishment of the guardianship was still in their best interests. In the guardian ad litem's report offered at the hearing, he disagreed. He opined that it would be in the best interests of the children to remain qualified for the former ward program, noting that "[u]nless the guardianship can be approved and still provide the benefits of the former ward program the Guardian Ad Litem cannot recommend a guardianship." He requested that care


REAL MADRID are preparing to ask Manchester United to send Angel Di Maria back to the Bernabeu in exchange for Gareth Bale.

Bale's place in Carlo Ancelotti's plans has been called into question due to the Welsh winger's lack of tactical discipline.

Isco impressed Ancelotti with his ability to follow his coaches instructions and the way his tracking back helped execute Real's defensive scheme.

And reports in Spain suggest that the Italian was again frustrated by Bale's performance against Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

It is claimed that Ancelotti wanted Bale to play wide in midfield in a 4-4-2 formation after coming on for James Rodriguez but the 25-year-old's attacking impulses saw him more often playing next to Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in what amounted to a 4-3-3.

CarloAncelotti is frustrated with Gareth Bale

And Ancelotti's frustrations with Bale have him longing to get former star Di Maria back in the fold.

Real sold the ex-Benfica star to United for £60m this summer after refusing to meet the player's demands for a new contract, but Ancelotti remains a fan of the Argentine and the role he played in helping the Madrid club to their tenth Champions League title last season.

Indeed, there is even some suggestion that if United are serious about bringing Bale back to the Premier League in the summer Real will not stand in their way.

However, instead of taking the £90m the Red Devils are reportedly willing to offer Real are expected to ask for a player-plus-cash deal involving Di Maria.

Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) have confirmed that non-commercial

Recently Australian politics and security regulatory organisations
have aligned closely with American models of success. It might
be interesting to ask Australian authorities to explain how Australian
requirements are cost justified when the same requirement is
exempted (not worth the time and effort) in the USA!
Some years ago New Zealand implemented its infamous Section 21
requirement. After a long legal battle and some very negative
yachting press, the government yielded to a court decision holding
the New Zealand requirement on foreign vessels illegal. As the
opposite of Success'', this was a regulatory organisation's worst
nightmare. The court challenge may have had the side benefit
of uncoveringa much better approach. Although New Zealand, following
Australia's lead, has a mandatory advanced notice of arrival
requirement and strict quarantine requirements, there are no
charges for entry, even on weekends. It has been estimated that
the average visiting yacht spends between $20, 000 to $30,000
in New Zealand and provides employment for many local workers.
Many yachts cruising the Pacific make a point of slipping and
fitting out in Whangarei, Opua , or Nelson before moving on.

and fuel supply thus contributing directly to the local economy.
the interim government is very much aware that the yachting
industry is a particular niche market in the tourism industry
that requires special attention in terms of service delivery,

are increasingly recognizing, encouraging, and benefiting from

Many foreign yachts are avoiding Australia because of what is
seen as unfriendly, intrusive and hostile, regulatory requirements.

A delighted Prince Harry cracked out the 'dad jokes' alongside an amused Meghan yesterday when revealing their newborn son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke at a photocall in the grounds of Windsor Castle ahead of a meeting with the Queen - the first member of the royal family to see the child since his birth on Monday.

When asked to expose more of their baby's face to the cameras, the Duchess laughed as Harry joked: 'He’s already got a little bit of facial hair as well, wonderful.'

As her husband held their son, Meghan said: ‘He has the sweetest temperament, he's really calm.’ To which a cheeky Harry replied: ‘I don't know who he gets that from,’ before sharing a knowing smirk with his wife.

Their babyboy will not have a royal title like Kate and Williams' children, Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, one, but will be known simply as Master Archie after George V limited titles within the family during the First World War.

The child's name was revealed on the couple's Instagram account this afternoon, four hours after the beaming pair first showed their 7lbs 3oz (3.2kg) child to the world, during which Prince Harry described him as a 'little bundle of joy'.

It's believed that during the intervening period, the couple went to visit the Queen. With Meghan describing it as a 'nice moment to introduce the baby to more family.'

And in an image posted yesterday the Queen, who was also seen earlier at The Royal Windsor Horse Show,


is seen happily smiling at the newborn alongside her husband Prince Philip.

The couple appeared to be beside themselves with joy, giggling and looking into each other's eyes as they spoke, while Prince Harry could not resist sneaking a peek down at his son as he apparently slept

Baby Archie, who was born at 5.26am on Monday, is also shown in an image alongside his grandmother Doria Ragland and parents Harry and Meghan - who has described her first few days of parenting as 'magic'.

From Archie Leach (better known as Cary Grant) to Harrison Ford: How Harry and Meghan's Royal baby boy Archie Harrison already has glamour and glitz of Hollywood Archie is the shortened version of Archibald, a traditionally Scottish name which is said to mean 'true, bold and brave'. Unlike many senior royals, Archie only has one middle name - Harrison - which is of Aboriginal origin and, in a fitting tribute to the baby's father, means 'son of Henry' or 'son of Harry'. Many in Britain had expected a more traditional royal


name, with bookies favouring James, Arthur, and Edward, with Archie sitting at around 100/1.

Harrison, meanwhile, has largely been made popular thanks to Star Wars actor Harrison Ford. The couple did notdisclose why they had chosen the informal names but Archie is becoming increasingly popular in Britain and was among the top 20 most common boy's names in 2017, according to the Office for National Statistics. UK royal names are normally chosen from a relatively restricted pool of those used by past kings and queens. But reports previously emerged that Meghan and Harry were considering an unusual name that was relevant to both Britain and the US. Meghan also ignored tradition by keeping the birth and recovery process private, unlike sister-in-law Kate, who appeared before the cameras hours after giving birth. A baby name expert said the 'most modern Royal couple' have chosen a 'fresh, fun and very modern name that both reflects their new family makeup'. SJ Ljungstrom


from ChannelMum.com said: 'Although both names are unusual in Royal circles... Archie is a wonderful choice as it encapsulates pomp and tradition while having all the cheeky chappie qualities of Harry himself. 'Harrison also perfectly encapsulates the American and wider Commonwealth trend for using surnames as firstnames,' she added. 'The names work as they are noble and regal but also have the warm and caring common touch, just like the couple themselves.'

The youngest addition to the royal family may even share a moniker with his cousin. In January it emerged that Prince George, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and future king, also goesby a nickname of Archie.

Despite his formal name being George Alexander Louis, the young prince reportedly told a dog-walker 'I'm called Archie', while strolling with grandmother Carole Middleton near her home in Berkshire, when he struck up a conversation with the stranger.

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh met their eighth great-grandchild for the first time at Windsor Castle. Baby Archie was there with his parents and his grandmother, Doria Ragland. Archie breaks with royal tradition in that it's less formal than all the other heir names.

Archie is the shortened version of Archibald, meaning 'bold' or 'brave'. Meanwhile, Harrison is of Aboriginal origin and, in a fitting tribute to the baby's father, means 'son of Henry' or 'son of Harry'.

The name is a dramatic upset for bookmakers, who


had been offering shortest odds on Alexander. Archie was 100/1 and Harrison made no appearance on their lists.

Harrison, meanwhile, has largely been made popular thanks to Star Wars actor Harrison Ford.

The couple did not disclose why they had chosen the names but Archie is an increasingly popular name in Britain.

It was among top 20 most common boy's names in 2017, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will have the hyphenated surname Mountbatten-Windsor, in keeping with a Royal tradition established shortly after the Queen's coronation.

The royal family name of Windsor was confirmed by the Queen after her accession in1952, but eight years later she and the Duke of Edinburgh sought a break from tradition to differentiate their direct descendants from the rest of the House of Windsor.

The surname had been a thorny issue between the couple, with Prince Philip keen that his surname be used for their children. He famously exclaimed: 'I am nothing but a bloody amoeba. I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children.'

It was therefore declared the Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.

This is an amalgam of her name and Prince Philip's surname, which is an Anglicised version of the original name of his forebears, the German


house of Battenberg - literally, 'Batten mountain'.

Philip's uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten - fondly named 'Dickie' by the royal family - adopted the Anglicised surname during the First World War. His great-grandmother was Queen Victoria and his sister was Princess Alice of Battenberg, Prince Philip's mother.

Prince Philip then adopted the surname when he became a naturalised British subject and renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles in order to marry Princess Elizabeth in 1947.

Little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor made his very first public appearance at a photocall alongside a thrilled Prince Harry and Meghan in the grounds of Windsor Castle, where the new family have been holed up since the historic birth on Monday.

The couple answered several questions before leaving the hall as they prepared to introduce the infant tothe Queen yesterday afternoon, where they were expected to inform the monarch of her great-grandson's name before telling the rest of the world.

Four candid images, taken by ex-soldier Chris Allerton, were posted to Instagram to share the family-of-three's first 'public moment' and to announce the little one's name.

Together, the two posts gathered more than 4.7million likes in eight hours.

And just minutes after the name was revealed to the public, royal fans took to social media to share their thoughts. While many were complimentary over the choice, some were a little skeptical, with one saying: ' I'm sorry, Archie Harrison? That doesn't sound very royal or British to me.'

The Sussex Royal account also posted an image of the Duke and Duchess walking out to a photocall this afternoon. They noted that the royal couple were 'incredibly grateful for the warm wishes and support they'vereceived from everyone around the world'

While another added: 'The name is American. It's not a very English Princely sounding name.' And another said: 'I was hoping for Spender. Spencer Hamilton sounds royal. But you know... Archie it is!'

Others were more complimentary over the name choice, with one commentator saying: 'So sweet! I love his name - Archie - he sounds positively adorable!' And another saying: 'Archie is a wonderful name! Also a pleasant surprise. Harry and Meghan are certainly creating their own distinctive identity.'

The name netted one lucky punter more than £18,000 after she guessed the newest member of the Royal Family would be given the name Archie.

The woman, who has not been named, put £120 on the moniker at 150/1 after Baby Sussex was born on her grandson Archie's birthday, according to bookmakers.tv. She scooped up £18,120 and told the websiteshe planned to put her winnings aside for her grandson.

Bookmakers said the name was one of the 'biggest surprises in royal betting history', with Ladbrokes recording just 60 bets on Archie, while Coral said the name drew just a handful of punters.

Alex Apati, from Ladbrokes, estimated that more than £1million will be won on all royal baby markets, which also included gender and due date.

His great-grandfather's legacy: How baby Archie's Mountbatten-Windsor surname was created to pacify Prince Philip as he complained he was 'a bloody amoeba' When Queen Elizabeth took to the throne in 1952, Prince Philip requested that his surname be used for their future children. It was at the time customary, as his uncle Lord Mountbatten pointed out, that wives adopt their husband's name upon marriage.


The Queen was initially receptive to the idea, making efforts to liaise with both Prime Minister Winston Churchill and her grandmother Queen Mary. But she was convinced to retain the Windsor surname, which had been specifically adopted by George V in 1917. It had been changed as a result of anti-German sentiment following the First World War, with future descendants bearing the name also. The surname remained a thorny issue between The Queen and Philip however, coming to a head after their marriage. He famously exclaimed: 'I am nothing but a bloody amoeba. I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children.' It wasn't until 1960 that the Queen relented, allowing her own direct descendants to be distinguished fromthe rest of the Royal Family. It produced an amalgam of her name and Prince Philip's surname, which is an Anglicised version of the original name of his forebears, the German house of Battenberg - literally, 'Batten mountain'. Philip's uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten - fondly named 'Dickie' by the royal family - adopted the Anglicised surname during the First World War. The Royal Navy officer, whose great-grandmother was Queen Victoria and sister was Princess Alice of Battenberg - Prince Philip's mother - was tragically killed in 1979 when the Provisional Irish Republican Army placed a bomb in his fishing boat, Shadow V, in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland. Mountbatten famously encouraged the betrothal of his nephew Philip to Elizabeth, the future queen. He was admiral of the fleet in


the Second World War and the last viceroy of India. In 2015, Prince Charles made a poignant speech in which he praised Mountbatten as 'the grandfather I never had'. Prince Philip adopted the Mountbatten surname when he became a naturalised British subject and renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles in order to marry Princess Elizabeth in 1947. Advertisement

At the lunchtime photocall, the two-day-old infant was lovingly cradled by his adoring father and watched attentively by Meghan, who was herself pictured for the first time in six weeks since withdrawing from public life ahead of the birth.

The couple appeared to be beside themselves with joy, giggling and looking into each other's eyes as they spoke, while Harry could not resist sneaking a peek down at his son ashe apparently slept.

Speaking for only three minutes from inside the majestic St George's Hall at Windsor Castle, a radiant Meghan declared: 'It's magic, it's pretty amazing. He's just been the dream so it's been a special couple of days.

'I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy. He has the sweetest temperament, he's really calm.'

The duke and duchess risked causing a row between rival media outlets after they insisted on a US broadcaster being present – choosing to include the channel fronted by one of Meghan's best friends, Gayle King.

How Meghan and Harry spent three minutes gushing over their new baby Archie... but still didn't reveal his birth details Harry and Meghan beamed as they presented their newborn son to the world at St George's Hall, Windsor Castle this afternoon. They spoke of their delight at becoming parents and Baby Sussex's 'calm temperament'. But they chose not to reveal his name and still haven't disclosed where he was born. Here is a list of things we are still waiting to find out about the newest addition to the Royal Family. Where was he born? A home birth or hospital Royal sources told The Mail this week that Meghan's hopes of a home birth at Frogmore Cottage were dashed after


she went more than a week over her due date. But Harry and Meghan are yet to confirm whether Baby Sussex was born at home in Windsor or in a hospital. They were rumoured to have opted for Frimley Park NHS Hospital in Surrey, but it is now believed Meghan may have chosen The Portland Hospital in central London. Childbirth packages at The Portland cost between £15,000 and £20,000. It is also still unclear whether Meghan was induced. Will the baby have famous godparents? The Duke and Duchess are yet to reveal who they have chosen to be their son's god parents. There is a long list of famous names in the running, including Meghan's friends Jessica Mulroney, Serena Williams and Amal Clooney. Harry's potential choices include hiscousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike, his childhood friend Charlie Van Straubenzee and close pal Nicholas Van Cutsem. Will he have an American passport? Meghan and Harry want their as-yet-unnamed child to grow up a global citizen, royal insiders have said. The couple have made no secret of their wish to be the 'inclusive' face of the monarchy. The boy would be entitled to a US passport because his mother was born in Los Angeles and is still an American citizen. His parents would first have to apply for American citizenship on his behalf. A senior source stressed nothing has been decided yet, but added: 'I think it is likely that they will.' Advertisement

While the Duchess of Cambridge faced the media outside the Lindo Wing of St


Mary's Hospital a few hours after all three of their children were born, American-born Meghan is said to have considered the idea as archaic.

Baby Sussex arrived at 5.26am on Monday, weighing 7lb 3oz, and is thought to have been born at the Portland Hospital in London, a plush US-owned hospital favoured by many wealthy American expats.

Meghan - who had been more than a week overdue - is believed to have gone into labour late on Sunday, when she was driven 28 miles away to a London hospital, ending her hopes of a home birth.

It comes after Harry and Meghan, 37, insisted that a US broadcaster be present during the unveiling of their baby son, choosing a channel fronted by one of Meghan's best friends.

The couple arranged for CBS,the network whose morning show is fronted by the duchess's confidante Gayle King – a guest at her New York baby shower – to join a small British media contingent for the photocall.

Miss King was with the couple at their private residence of Frogmore Cottage at the weekend, having arrived in the UK to film what she called a 'royal special'.

The show, Meghan and Harry Plus One, is set to air on CBS on May 17, and will feature chats from royal insiders and Meghan's friends to mark the one-year anniversary of the royal marriage and the birth of their first child.

It is thought the 64-year-old journalist returned to the US before Meghan was admitted to hospital in the early hours of Monday to give birth.

The decision to


include a US broadcaster came as a surprise to British television channels including the BBC and ITV – not to mention many at Buckingham Palace.

Their inclusion caused a storm among rival media outlets with the Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter, who comments on royal matters for a host of networks including the BBC, ITV, and Sky, warning it is 'treading on dodgy ground'.

Mr Arbiter said the stated reason - that the inclusion of CBS in the pool means the pictures will make US breakfast shows - was a 'fatuous excuse' because syndication deals would have ensured US coverage without the CBS presence.

He alluded to Meghan's close ties to King saying 'choosing a US network, fiend [sic] or not, is treading on dodgy ground'.

Despite CBS's attendance, a royalsource said it would not receive any exclusive content from the photocall and would be expected to share all of its material.

But the American network's involvement in such a high-profile event usually reserved for British media representatives will still be viewed as a huge scoop stateside.

Last night a palace aide said: 'There is an international cameraman accredited to the pool facility tomorrow. CBS will provide the cameraman.

'This reflects the international interest in the story. The international camera spot was self-selected and the pictures will be available for pool use.'

It's only been two and a half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy and be able to spend some precious times with him as he slowly, slowly starts to grow up.' Asked about going to see the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, Meghan said: 'We just bumped into the duke as we were walking by which was so nice. 'So it'll be a nice moment to introduce the baby to more family and my mum's with us as well.' Harry added: 'Another great grandchild.' Asked to show more of their son's face to the cameras, Meghan laughed as Harry joked: 'He's already got a littlebit of facial hair as well, wonderful.' Meghan added: 'Thank you everybody for all the well wishes and kindness, it just means so much.' Advertisement

It came as royal fans patiently waited for their first glimpse of the newborn in a photo shoot, with took place on Wednesday.

The event was covered by Sky News, which was selected randomly following other submissions from the BBC and ITV.

According to ITV's royal correspondent Chris Ship, the same process was undertaken to decide which American network would cover the event.

He was told CBS was also picked at random following submissions by fellow US broadcasters NBC and ABC.

A source said last night the arrangements were made to 'reflect the international interest in the story'.

By coincidence – or not – CBS's morning show is hosted


by Meghan's great friend Miss King, who is also close to Oprah Winfrey, another a friend of the royal couple and a guest at their wedding.

Handily for her, it is expected that footage of Baby Sussex will be broadcast in America in time for her popular breakfast show, This Morning.

CBS star Miss King was among just 20 guests to attend Meghan's lavish five-day baby shower in New York in February, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Serena Williams.

Senior royals have already spoken about the joy of the new arrival, with Prince William saying on Tuesday he was 'absolutely thrilled' and 'looking forward to seeing them in the next few days when things have quietened down'.
