tail a blonde haired knight at a bit of a distance, he's easy to tell apart from the rest due to his lantern but beware not to get spotted. He stops a few times to look over his shoulder before going to the Venery area of Gran Soren. Eventually he should lead you to a little store past the Black Cat where a cutscene triggers, head inside the store and talk to Madeleine, which gets you a slightly elusive achievement and completing Chasing Shadows.

The Patron Helped Madeleine open her shop. 1 guide

Rest at the Inn again and make it day, find the three family members for A Land of Opportunity, Sara's near the town square fountain, her husband should be behind the Inn and the son is nearis usually found on the road to the inn or near the beach within the town walls. Talk to him and he asks you what he should do, tell him to offer himself up to Maul. There's no real penalties to doing it this manner and it's just easier as well, return to Maul in the castle ruins and watch the cutscene. That's another quest completed.

Cassardis III, Ancient Quarry and the North

On your way back to Gran Soren, return to Cassardis for one more time. There you'll find a few new quests, one by going down the well once more to investigate the voice from beneath which triggers DEEPER TROUBLE but ignore that one for now. First go down the beach and find a fisherman called Merin, he


you're female, just ready to go on, head up the hills and ignore the female bandits that are there, they're part of Ophis' group. Ophis will be one of the towers, and gives you the THICK AS THIEVES quest. Before you head out, first go across the gate's roof and hit the switch so you can freely pass through, then find the gal called Betiah down on the ground near the gate, she'll give you the sub-quest to Thick as Thieves called CYCLOPS CARE.

Follow the road west towards the objective for Cyclops Care and watch out for yet another Chimera and a boatload of harpies. There's a bunch of goblins near the corral, slay one and carry it's corpse down to the Cyclops. DON'T ATTACK IT! It's friendly,have to follow up on requests straight away.

She'll start the quest off by walking across Royal District towards the Market at snails pace, so stay close behind her but keep a gap so you won't bump into her. She'll trip over her own feet near the Cathedral, don't touch her, just run up next to her as she brushes herself off. Eventually near the Market she'll tell you through the medium of cutscene that she wants to play hide and seek! For the best outcome, you have to find her straight away. She either hides in the Union Inn behind the keeper, next to the fireplace or simply at the Alehouse.

After this she continues clockwise around the fountain, then she'll spurt off to the apothecary. Don't try sprint


after her, instead just pace along and she'll come running back for you pretty much right away after having looked at the stall. She'll carry on walking to the gate near the Craftsman's Quarter, there she'll request a Flask of Water from you. Talk to her and give the flask you got before picking up the quest, handy huh!

Then she'll challenge you to a race, to the city gates at the far end of the Workman's Quarter. You have to lose this race, but barely. Follow Symone, zig zag like crazy and generally just stay right behind her. Finishing a very close (and in her eyes a totally believable) second. Return to Fournival and turn in the quest. Talk to Symone right after the quest, you don't haveand straightforward quest that with Dark Arisen awards you with yet another Portcrystal and some very nifty pick-me-ups in the end location. Visit the farmer Josias in the Workman's Quarter who'll say he has no idea what the tablet is about, so try your luck with Montebank at the Black Cat instead. He also claims he doesn't know, the quest should now direct you to Maurin, who usually is found in the Fountain Square. He'll come up with some vague clues and tells you to go for the Hillfigure Knoll, a fair bit up north.

You really can't miss the Hill once you near it, it's got a massive human figure etched into the grassy hillside near the cave entrance. Head inside and talk to the Dragonforged, he'll explain


to, bar your own conscience. After you kill him, loot the nearby chest and head for the exit.

You should appear under the bridge near Gran Soren, unlocking a neat little shortcut into the Catacombs for later quests and loot runs! Return to Ser Maximilian in Gran Soren and turn in the quest. He'll still offer one more quest aside from hearing the Duke's directive, so let's pick "Aid a research team" and get trucking. The quest's called THE WATERGOD'S ALTAR and boy it'll be a fun one. Drowning pawns and saurians with health pools the size of fridges, it's going to be a pleasant journey! First you need to inquire about your target, like always. Drop by the Cathedral down the road from Maximilian and talk to FatherGeffrey inside. He'll say that the survey team made way for the Watergod Altar in the southern regions.

So, make your way down to the Mountain Waycastle, it's the massive bridge where you began the quest that started your journey to Gran Soren. Make use of the Rift Stone if you must and begin going down the steep incline behind the small camp to the two rocky paths that sit on either side of the cliffwalls.

Follow the left side to the end first and make the running leap across over to the right when you hit the end, following the path will lead you to the waterfall with the remaining member of the survey team, Brother Haslett. He'll tell you he's the sole survivor of an ambush and fled


for this quest, alternatively grab the quest "Put the Eye Out" from the notice board and slay the cyclops in the Frontier Caverns, it'll award a Silver Idol. The reward is that the vendor who receives the best quality Idol will stock stronger, better and more expensive items, and it's strongly advised to keep the Golden Idol for Madeleine. So turn in the Idol of your choosing at Caxton and the quest'll be complete.

You should still have the other Idol that you didn't turn in, go for Madeleine's shop in the Venery. She'll offer the quest SUPPLIER'S DEMAND, which is just like Idol Worship - Get a Idol. Turn in the Idol and turn in the quest, tada!

Return to the Royal Quarter and enter the Demesne, find missbe spotted there by the nearby guards for as long as you just stay put at the meeting location.

After you're done talking with him, leave the Demesne. It's time we do three quests, at the same time! Rise of the Fallen, a part of Nameless Terror and the wrapping up of The Dragon's Tongue. Rest at the Inn one more time to reset the time to midnight and head for the bridge that leads to the Venery inside of Gran Soren, it'll trigger a short cutscene of two Salvation members talking.

There's two ways of completing this part, either through subtle stalking by wearing the Set of Salvation Robes you looted from the main quest Seeking Salvation or bought from Montebank, or by simply jumping down and going for


you leave, be sure to loot the chest for the nifty pair of Crimson Teeth daggers. You're now ready to pop out of the Catacombs by Ferrystone or by legwagon and go back to Gran Soren to turn in the quest at Ser Maximilian. If it's still night after all of this, rest at the Inn to make it daylight and go visit Max.

Before you go anywhere, be sure to have at least one Ferrystone on you. Leave town again, time to wrap up The Conspirators. Fedel has a cart which has been ambushed slightly south of the Soulflayer Canyon's east entrance. When you get there, a cutscene will show that the cart's been ambushed and burned to a crisp and also handily pinpoint you to the nearbyDarkness can spawn at three different points on the path between Gran Soren and the Mountain Waycastle. He can be at the Mountain Cottage, at the harpy cages further south or at the massive tree at the far south end of the trail (but still before the Waycastle). If there's bandits around, he should spawn too. If he isn't at any of those points, return to Gran Soren and rest at the inn until nightfall and repeat looking through the trail until you find Darkness. When you kill him, the quest will update.

The next group is on the S-shaped road where you saved Rowland for the main quest Watergod's Altar. They're called Rouge and Noir and they spawn on the turn north of the Abandoned Storehouse. Repeat the


her? She's the queen brat of a child Fournival has, she's usually found around their home. Talking to her and get "Symone's Petition". Now head for the Catherdral and talk to Father Geffrey, he'll give you "Geffrey's Petition". Now pop back into the Demesne quickly and talk to Fedel, he's usually wandering upstairs. He gives you "Fedel's Petition". (And if you feel it's necessary, you can buy a phony bunch of papers called "Tattered Affidavits" from Reynard (if he's in Gran Soren) for 3000G.)

While you're at the Demesne, find Aldous and turn in all four of the items. Leave the Manse and go to the inn, sleep there four times until the quest updates saying "Inquire after verdict". Don't mind it when it says near deadline, it justDragon's Tongue"

The End Before the End Game

Yep, the name says it. There's only three side quests left and only five main quests left before you hit the true end game. Though here, the game's difficulty seems to take a generous spike in difficulty. So from now on it'll benefit you greatly to start getting higher level pawns and invest in many more healing/stamina items.

First let's get a slightly hidden quest out of the way. It's called SEARCH PARTY and it's given to you by Reynard whom we saved way early on in the game.

He's a bit of a traveller, so that's where the harder part comes into play. He can either be in one of the following places where he stays for two or three days and picks


a new destination randomly.

Cassardis - Across from the Inn, near the general store.

- Across from the Inn, near the general store. The Encampment - Near the southern gates, where he was during Off With It's Head.

- Near the southern gates, where he was during Off With It's Head. Gran Soren - Across the Inn infront of the fountain during the day and inside the Inn at night.

- Across the Inn infront of the fountain during the day and inside the Inn at night. Rest Camp, Devilfire Grove - Between the merchants around the tents.

- Between the merchants around the tents. Greatwall Encampment - Right next to the Rift Portal.

You can just repeatedly wait at the Inn's between Cassardis and the Encampment until he finally shows up, it might- In the Venery, on the map there's a small open spot. It's inside there, surrounded by buildings. Only reachable by climbing the ladders that lead to the roof. Catacombs, Second Level Underground - After riding the elevator down to the 2nd floor underground, it's at the end of the first open room. Barta Crags, Miasmic Haunt - Between the tents at the camp. Soulflayer Canyon - From the West entrance, simply follow the path and stick right at the fork. It's on the broken bridge. Ancient Quarry - Follow the ordinary route through the Quarry until you're at the location we previously went and gotten the Ambrosial Meat, it's in the same square part just on the opposite side.

Once you have all six, return to Reynard and


talk to Ser Gyles upstairs, and he sends you off to the King's man-servant Ambrose. That's all the intel gathering you gotta do for now, so return to Aldous and instigate stage two of the investigation. He says go ask a man called Mellard, he might know where he is.

Mellard's usually either in the Noble Quarter or marching to Fountain Square. He says Salomet was last spotted at the Ancient Quarry, so let's hit the road immediately. You got your preparations, restorative items and whatnot for a boss fight? Also be sure to have a few Ferrystones left, you'll be using two very soon again.

When you enter the Ancient Quarry, you'll pretty much bump into Salomet right away. He has a pack of vicious cronies he'll sic onof it while it attempts to recover from being zapped and smashing into the ground.

The quest updates when you've either done enough damage to make it retreat (if it retreats, it'll set up camp and hide in a hidden part of Soulflayer Canyon) or when you've killed it. When it's dead, go up the hill and to the gate to the Royal Quarter. There you'll find a guard who automatically transports you to Aldous and the Duke.

Turn the quest in and talk to Aldous again and grab his new quest which is REWARD AND RESPONSIBILITY, he says the Duke wants to personally give you a reward for what you just did. Go upstairs and find the Duke in his Solar, talk to him and follow him down to


arbitrary anchors.

It's funny because I was on GDAX (looking at it) when the price of BCH jumped
to over 9000. It didn't "start" at over 9000 like the "tape" suggests. Right
when it was added to the exchange, it was at maybe 4000. Then, a series of
jumps occured in a timeframe of about 1 second and the price was at 9500 or so
(or was it 8500?). Anyway, clearly my memory is spotty, but I found that very

The Situation on Sobriety: It's One of the Hardest Things I've Ever Done

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino may be back in another reality show, but he's come a long way from his "Jersey Shore" days. Long gone is the grenade smushing, alcohol-addled star MTV fans came to know and sometimes love on the extremely popular series ... and he's definitely changed for the better.

The ab-tastic wonder stopped by toofab's studio to promote his new show, "The Sorrentinos," where he got incredibly candid about his sobriety, revealed how much he keeps in contact with the "Jersey" gang and gushed over his new girlfriend -- who he calls "the only girl I couldn't do without."

The State government has allowed commercial development at the famous Jog Falls in Shimoga district as part of a project to create artificial waterfalls there throughout the year.

To make the project feasible, the Tourism Department will allow a company or a consortium to take up the artifical falls project and provide facilities to tourists, including setting up hotels and restaurants. It has recently called a global tender, inviting expressions of interest from private companies to take up the project on a Public Private Partnership basis.

The government wants to prevent a repeat of 2006, when eight companies, including Siemens and Gammon India, backed out of a tender after finding that the project’s implementation was not financially viable. After the project failed to

Chuck Askerneese, the lead singer, Herman his brother who played bass and Jerry Miller, the percussionist, would often show up at The Bullet to hang out and dance. I got to know them a little, mostly I was on the “head-nod and smile” level of acquaintance.

Their lead guitarist and main songwriter, Clyde Grimes, was a genuinely cool guy with a clean style – very mod. I got to know Clyde better than any of the other UTs, and I often find myself missing him.

The more time I spent in LA in early 1983, the better I got to know some of The Untouchables as well as some of the mods that wrote for Twist magazine, the ones who happened to be the Face (the people to watch) of the scene.

The Scene During 1983

I remember the summer of 1983 as “The Style Council Summer” – The Jam had broken up and Paul Weller, the lead singer had started a new band with the keyboardist from The Merton Parkas, Mick Talbot.

Our movement had grown very large and was beginning to fragment. We had groups of ska kids, scooter boys, soul boys, power pop mods, skinheads and psychedelic mods


– and every group had it’s purists that didn’t like the other groups.

I was one of the soul boys and we headed off in the Northern Soul direction.

Above: Flyer – Out On The Floor – 60t and Northern Soul Music at The Concert Factory with DJ Jon Shelton (that was me)…

We removed all the patches off of our parkas and started adopting the more casual style Paul Weller was now wearing. We listened to his new songs Money Go Round and Long Hot Summer and smiled and danced.

There were weeks when I rarely made it back home to my parents house in Irvine. Instead I was often crashing, along with my friends, at different mod’s houses, always on the go…

Above: The Untouchables second single with several backstage passes(Rodney later went on to be the guitarist for Sugar Ray) – took it upon themselves to instruct me in the proper way to be a mod – dress sharp, stay out all night, listen to the right music, and always go, go, go…

Above: (from left to right) Mark Hackworth with one of my friends at the time, Jeff.

I turned 18 the same week I graduated from high school, and the next week I rode my scooter 35 miles (by freeway) from Irvine to Hollywood with a friend of mine named Jeff to go to the On Klub and see The Untouchables.

After The Untouchables played that night I joined a group of scooters headed to a party “just around the corner” and ended up getting


a grand scooter tour of Hollywood and LA all they way down to the party in Santa Monica.

The party was still going at close to dawn when I got back on my scooter and rode 30 miles down the 405 freeway to my job in Irvine, just in time for work at 7:00 am.

And so it began, over 30,000 miles (before my speedometer died and I lost track) of scooter riding around Orange County and Los Angeles from the summer of 1982 through the spring of 1984.

Subsequently, the business and personal relationship soured, resulting in the commencement of two lawsuits in 1995, one in the Hamilton County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas, and one in the Franklin County, Ohio, Court of Common Pleas. To settle this litigation, asset purchase agreements for the sale of the two restaurants to the Plaintiff were executed on July 26, 1996.

Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins

The New Mexico county clerk who first began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in August — a decision that contributed to the state's supreme court declaring such unions legal statewide in a separate case — took a step to help protect the state's newly enacted marriage equality law on Friday.

Doña Ana county clerk Lynn Ellins will be donating the leftover funds he raised to defend his decision against those opposed to marriage equality, to a statewide


equality organization called New Mexico Unites for Marriage Equality, reports the Las Cruces Sun-News.

After anti-equality forces filed a lawsuit intended to halt marriage equality in New Mexico, Ellins collected private donations at his county office to fund his legal defense in state district court, citing the controversial nature of his decision. Pro-LGBT organization ProgressNow of New Mexico set up a website at EqualityDonaAnaCounty.com to support the effort, raising more than $33,000 from 647 donors, according to the Sun-News. That money, in addition to the roughly $3,000 that came in through private donations mailed to or brought in person to Ellins' office, was placed in a trust account set up by Ellins' attorney.

The Doña Ana case was placed on hold in district court, pending a resolution on the issuefrom the state's highest court on a different marriage equality case, filed a lesbian couple seeking the right to marry. After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality on December 19, Ellins' case was dismissed by the lower court.

After paying his legal expenses, which the Sun-News reports totaled $31,759, Ellins estimated there were "a few thousand dollars" leftover in the trust. And on Friday, Ellins announced in a press release that he'll be donating the balance of that trust to New Mexico Unites for Marriage Equality.

The pro-equality organization said in a statement that it plans to use the funds to prepare a defense against an anticipated effort to amend the state's constitution to restrict marriage to one man and one woman.

"We did the right thing at


the right time by issuing the licenses last August, and we're doing the right thing now by donating the balance of our legal-defense fund to the coalition that stood beside us while we waited for the Supreme Court to make its determination," Ellins said in a press release Friday.

"New Mexico Unites for Marriage is grateful for County Clerk Ellins' unwavering support for the freedom to marry in New Mexico," the New Mexico Unites for Marriage Equality's campaign manager, Robert Adams, said in an email to the Sun-News. "His recent contribution will strengthen New Mexico Unites for Marriage, as we continue the campaign to protect marriage for all New Mexicans."was a proximate and contributing cause of the casualty.
6. The timberhead was being put to its ordinary use; such use was reasonable.
7. Said timberhead was the same timberhead sold by Dreyfus Supply and Machinery Corporation to Azalea Fleet, Incorporated.
8. After Azalea purchased said timberhead from Dreyfus, it sold the timberhead to Consolidated and installed it on the Jackie-21 in April 1974. When the timberhead was sold to Consolidated, Azalea was known as Alter Fleet, Inc. Azalea is and was in the business of marine repairs, and in connection with that business, sells deck fittings and timberheads.
9. Dreyfus purchased the timberhead in used condition from Lone Star Industries, Inc., in January 1973. The timberhead had been mounted on one of Lone Star's barges. Lone Star obtained the timberhead from


sale was actually carried through. Even if it had been, the timberhead was of a different dimension than that sold by Dreyfus to Azalea, and therefore was not the same timberhead involved in this litigation.
11. The timberhead was in substantially the same condition at the time of the incident as when purchased by Dreyfus from Lone Star. It was not replaced after it was installed in April 1974 and prior to the breakaway incident on 9 April 1980. It was not repaired, welded, or altered in any way from the time it was installed on the Jackie 21 to the time of the breakaway.
12. Archway failed to use reasonable care and skill that prudent navigators would employ for similar services, involving the 9 April 1980 breakaway incident. Archwayoriginal suit concerning the timberhead, until after judgment in the original suit had been entered and was being appealed. Azalea was notified of the original action by Consolidated in July 1981. Azalea's search of its files turned up the fact that the timberhead was purchased from Dreyfus: Azalea found this information in June 1982.
20. Consolidated and Azalea had the opportunity to compromise their share of the damages in Eagle Marine. Archway had agreed to bear 80% of the damages in Eagle Marine and future claims. Consolidated passed the settlement offer to Azalea: Consolidated was prepared to accept Archway's offer if Azalea paid 10% of the total settlement and 10% of future judgments. Azalea refused. The defendants below Azalea object to Azalea's claim for indemnity, because they note that


going to lose, that must be preferred to the downright embarrassment of being thoroughly outplayed in almost every session for four days.

New Zealand were still in with a shot right up until the end of the decisive fourth day but, in an enthralling match in which momentum swung multiple times a day, the final shift favoured the hosts.

It was impossible to pinpoint one defining moment for the defeat, according to Taylor. They lost thesaid. "They bowled a lot of overs in a short period of time. You've got to give credit to Kohli and Dhoni - they batted very well."

One more breakthrough would have exposed India's bowlers in the most pressurised of environments but, despite coming close to removing the Indian captain early, it never came.

"[Dhoni] played and missed at a few," Taylor said. "If we could've nicked him off, it could have been a different story."

Instead, it was the same, old story for a side with only one test win - against Zimbabwe in January - in 2012.

Taylor was reluctant to step back and look at the big picture so soon after such a narrow loss, but he thought his team would be better for the experience when they next


optics. Millennials tend to lean left on most economic issues. Thanks to the Church’s work with food banks and the Archbishop of Canterbury appearing at the Trades Union Congress, the general public is starting to become aware that the Church institutionally is now on the political left, at least so far as economics are concerned.

But that is not the impression one gets ‘on the ground’ at a Church of England parish: the Church of England is Guardian readers preaching to Daily Mail readers; an aging congregation brings with it a tendency for the political view of the average congregation to reflect the political views of the older generations.

In an increasingly politically-active society, with a highly politically-interested generation of young people, there has been a tendency to the politicalthrough in the Church of England. I even understand the theological objections to it, although I vehemently disagree with them. If schism in the Anglican Communion is the price for saving the Church from ruin outside of the Global South, that is a price I’m willing to pay.

LGBTQ rights are not the only issue on which the Church of England needs to ‘get with the times’, but they are by far the most prominent to my mind, for the reasons listed above.

Lastly, a word on liturgy and worship. With its ‘Follow the Star’ campaign in 2018 the Church of England has neatly seized on an already popular phenomenon and trend (church attendance at Christmas was already rising). The Bishop of Manchester has wisely suggested a comparable seasonal focus


throughout the year: by turning up the emphasis on the liturgical calendar which we already observe, and drawing more distinction between the church seasons than we currently do, to guide people into the life of the church as a whole. To some extent this may be wishful thinking (the popular desire to attend Church at Christmas may well spring from nostalgic memories of nativity plays and carol services during youth, but not many will have memories of excellent Lenten, or even Candlemas or Eastertide, services), but it’s certainly worth a go, and there is plenty of scope for it: the great mystery of the Advent season as distinct from Christmas, and the inwardly reflective nature and self-bettering idea of Lent, are hardly acknowledged in the civil observances ofBy Laman Ismayilova

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum will hold the 3rd International Symposium of Common Languages of Turkic World – Patterns under the topic Intersections in Felt on October 25-27.

The geography of the symposium participants covers America, Canada, Australia, countries of Europe and Asia.

The symposium’s aim is the exchange of ideas on the common heritage of the Turkic peoples ‒ felt, as well as research and preservation of this craft’s traditions and customs, the revival of interest in it, and its application in various fields.

Among them, the world-famous expert on felt art professor of the University of St. Andrews (Scotland) Stephanie Bann will present a report on the topic "Patterns under the topic Intersections in Felt".

She lectures on social anthropology and studies


the felt arts of Central Asia and the weaving of Scotland. Having found the necessary exhibits, she arranged the first exhibition of felt art in Kyrgyzstan in the British Museum. Stephanie Bann is one of the authors of the journal NomadicFelt (British Museum Press) and is the editor of the Anthropology and Beauty publication of Routledge. She also runs the Woven Communities project.

Two thematic exhibitions, a workshop, a felt product fair, as well as a fashion show will be organized as part of the symposium.

The theme of the symposium is a felt craft in a wide historical range, from the pre-Islamic era to the present time. After the symposium, the speeches will be published in a book, distributed among libraries, and offered to the meeting participants.

Herbicides have been widely employed to destroy unwanted plants or "weeds", to prevent their growth on bare ground or in established crops, and to promote the growth of desirable plants, such as grains, fruits and vegetables. In fact, millions of pounds of herbicide are applied directly to the soil on an annual basis. In general, herbicides consist of two types, non-selective and selective. Non-selective herbicides kill all plant life on the plot of soil on which they are applied. Selective herbicides, on the other hand, kill or inhibit the establishment of certain types of plant life, such as weeds, while leaving the desirable, surrounding crops on which they are applied relatively undamaged. Examples of selective herbicides include phenolics, carbamates, and dinitroanilines.

The camel, part of Shrine Circus performance at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, began bucking on Sunday with a child attached to its back, tossing the girl from side to side.

In a video of the incident, recorded by attendee Ronald Smith and viewed more than 82,000 times on Facebook, the camel can be seen running through the ground floor of the arena while circus employees frantically chase after it.

Smith went to the circus with his girlfriend and her two toddlers. He said he thought about bringing the 2-year-old boy down to meet the animals, but decided against it.

"You just got bad vibes," Smith said. "I


didn’t feel like that with tigers, but the camels were a little too free."

Smith said he once attended a monster truck show at the PPG Paints Arena, and the trucks splattered him with dirt. That experience made him sit farther away from the animals.

"With the animals we didn’t want to take that risk because they could go up into stands," he said, adding that he and his girlfriend sat 15 rows up from the ground floor.

The entire incident lasted 11 seconds, according to officials. In the video, the girl is removed from the camel and appears dazed, but is able to walk away.

Smith said the crowd began to run "like a tsunami" away from the bucking camel.

JUDY WOODRUFF:

Now we continue our series Inside Putin's Russia, and travel to the country's southernmost border.

The Republic of Dagestan is in the North Caucasus, near the Caspian Sea. Over the past two decades, a brutal separatist insurgency has fought the Russian state, and violence has spilled over from neighboring Chechnya, where Russia fought two wars.

Many Americans may recall Dagestan as the original home of the Boston Marathon bombers, but now a new problem. By one estimate, as many as 5,000 Dagestanis are fighting for ISIS.

Again, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, special correspondent Nick Schifrin and producer Zach Fannin examine why.

There are, however, also many problems related to health services: They consume large proportions of the health system resources, which are frequently concentrated in large hospitals offering deficient access to its users. In addition, in many European Countries the integration of primary, secondary and tertiary care is weak, resulting in poor quality and inefficiency, and often causing unnecessary inconvenience to patients.

In order to tackle these issues, the European Regional Office of the World Health Organization sets clear priorities.

Although in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries and Newly Independent States (NIS) proportions are still significantly lower as compared to the European Union average, their demographic patterns are now clearly following the trends of Western European Countries.

In combination with the emigration of the young and declining fertility rates in southern, central and eastern European countries (where fertility rates traditionally were high) the growing population of older people pose not only challenges to the supply of services, but also to their financing.

The actual demand resulting from the demographic transition, however, is difficult to extrapolate.

Mushtaq, first recruited by the England in 2008 when Moores was in his first spell as coach, said the retirement of Graeme Swann was a big loss to the team.

"Swann was a wicket-taking spinner and with Monty Panesar he helped England win not only in India after some 29 years but also played a key role in Ashes success," Mushtaq said.

The little leg-spinner, who took 185 test and 161 one-day wickets and helped Pakistan win the 1992 World Cup, has informed Moores he wants to give priority to his PCB job.

"I have had a great time working for the ECB and I have told them about my applying for a coaching position with the PCB. I just feel it is timeto now focus on giving something back to Pakistan cricket," he said.

Mushtaq has applied for the position of spin bowling coach with the PCB and is a front-runner to get the job this week.

The PCB last week named former captain Waqar Younis as head coach and the ruling body is due to announce his support team this week.

Mushtaq said he backed Moores to make a success of the England job with a new coaching team.

"Obviously he wants to make a fresh start because England have been going through a rough patch since last year. Moores is the right man for them now," he added. – Reuters


Shopkeeper Tried to Steal Grandmothers Winnings

A dishonest shopkeeper has this week been convicted of trying to claim a Grandmother’s life changing winnings as his own. 77 year old Maureen Holt whose 80 year old husband still works for a security firm took her lottery ticket into the Best One Convenience Store in Oldham but shopkeeper Farrakh Nizzar aged 30 checked the ticket and told her she was not a winner even through she had actually struck it lucky on the EuroMillions millionaire raffle.

After scanning the winning ticket and telling Maureen Holt it was not a winner he offered to throw it away for her and she agreed as she thought it was no longer of any use. Crooked Nizzar then rang the claims line and told them hehad purchased the EuroMillions ticket at the shop where he worked. Camelot became suspicious when they checked the ticket and discovered it had actually been purchased at a Tesco in the Lancashire town.

Lotto chiefs began an investigation and managed to track down Maureen because she had used her Tesco Clubcard at the same time as the ticket was purchased and CCTV footage confirmed she was the rightful winner. Maureen knew nothing about all of this until a Camelot representative knocked her door a couple of days later and enquired about the ticket.

Nizzar from Manchester went on the run when he realised he had been caught out but was later arrested and charged with fraud by false representation and is due to be sentenced later this month.

So, where did you grow up?

I was born in Connecticut. We lived in Westport, CT in a big house on a dirt road. There was a barn and a pasture and my sister had a horse (not really the Westport, CT that


is there now!).

What did your parents do?

My mother was a homemaker. She didn't go to college. My father was a chemical engineer who had moved into management and worked in NYC. I have 3 older siblings. When I was 8 we moved to Shreveport, LA and my dad worked for a natural gas company. It was 1963 and a huge culture shock. In 1969, they moved to Houston, TX and my Dad worked for Pennzoil. Eventually he managed the Vermejo Ranch in Raton, NM for Pennzoil (it seems to be a resort property now – at the time it was a working ranch and also had a guest operation).

What were the differences between Westport and Shreveport that you remember?

There were a million differences. It was 1963, so Jimhad to meet with campus lawyers and were really intimidated. One of my friends noted that Catharine MacKinnon was on the faculty at Stanford and called her to ask her advice. She came to the meeting! It was one of the most exciting moments of my life - to face down the UCB lawyers with Catharine MacKinnon.

Cool! So, other than that, was the rest of grad school smooth sailing?

Another huge factor in my graduate school experience is that my mother died of brain cancer. She was diagnosed about 14 months before she died (in '83), and it was challenging because, as I mentioned before, she was a Christian Scientist. My father managed her medical care and she had two brain surgeries. After the second, I was with her


seriously about quitting philosophy. But when Penn invited me to apply to their job I jumped at the chance to live in Philadelphia and get out of Princeton.

Good move? Did you have to deal with the two-body problem?

It was a good move in many ways, but life at Penn was difficult in its own way. Among other things, Steve and I started seeing each other seriously and when I came up for my 3rd year review we went on the job market together (he had been at the University of Michigan since he graduated from Berkeley). He got tenure at Michigan right about the same moment that I was offered an entry-level position there.

In a Nov. 20 quarterly update about West Virginia's high-speed Internet expansion, state Homeland Security chief Jimmy Gianato made no mention of any damage to the fiber network or towers. Gianato's son, Adam, is working as a tower inspector on the broadband project in Southern West Virginia.

Gianato sent the report to the National Telecommunications & Information Administration, which is overseeing the stimulus project.

The third quarter ended on Sept. 30, a month before the storm hit, but the federal report asks state officials to declare whether they expect any "challenges or issues that may impact planned progress" in the upcoming quarter -- October through December. Gianato did not report the storm damage.

Gianato did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Given said Gianatotold her Wednesday afternoon that he had "just become aware" of the storm damage to the new fiber network at the time he wrote the Nov. 20 report and "had no information on the scope of the damage."

In 2010, West Virginia received $126.3 million in federal stimulus funds primarily to buy routers and bring fiber-optic cable to more than 1,000 "community anchor institutions" -- schools, libraries, county courthouses, health centers, State Police detachments, 911 centers, state agencies and other public facilities.

The state is also spending $50 million from the grant to upgrade the state's wireless tower network that serves first responders -- police, firefighters and paramedics.

At a meeting last week, Gianato told state lawmakers that radio service through the microwave tower network wasn't interrupted during Sandy.

Given said Wednesday


that the state plans to conduct a "physical inventory" of the state's 96 tower sites.

Last summer, state officials overseeing the broadband expansion project announced that $9 million would be left over from the $126.3 million grant.

In October, the state Office of Technology solicited ideas for spending the excess funds. Telecommunications firms submitted numerous project proposals, and state officials started evaluating the projects several weeks ago.

The state has put that review on hold, Given told the companies in a letter sent out this week.

Given wrote that federal and state officials "both agree it is important to repair the damage before the remaining funds are allocated to additional projects."

Federal officials also recently announced that grant recipients -- including the state of West Virginia -- could petition to extend broadband projectU.S. National security adviser John Bolton, right, speaks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross during a conference of more than 50 nations that largely support Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido in Lima, Peru, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019.

U.S. has tried to woo into betraying Maduro, Rodriguez said the sanctions would only bring more hardship on the Venezuelan people without weakening the socialist revolution.

She also posited that Washington’s real aim is to sabotage ongoing negotiations in Barbados with the opposition aimed at resolving the country’s protracted political and economic crisis.

A senior Trump administration official said the timing of the sanctions reflects the U.S. assessment that those talks, which started in May and are being sponsored by Norway, are going nowhere and being used by the Maduro government to buy time. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to comment on the talks.

In a further sign of tensions, Venezuela also accused the U.S. of “hostile and illegal incursions” by sending military aircrafthalf-century.

A number of European countries, from Spanish oil company Repsol to Air France, continue to operate in Venezuela and could see their U.S. assets seized unless they cut ties with the government. India and China are major buyers of crude from state-run oil giant PDVSA. All of the companies rely on the U.S. to process financial payments.

The European Union and Canada banded together in April to sharply criticize a U.S. decision to lift a two-decade ban on lawsuits against foreign firms operating on properties Cuba seized from Americans following Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution.

The real life impact of the new sanctions on regular Venezuelans remains to be seen. The moribund economy has been suffering for years from six-digit hyperinflation, widespread shortages and a deep contraction that surpasses that of


of our public schools, including charter schools. The Charter Schools Act represents a valid exercise of legislative discretion aimed at furthering the purposes of education. Indeed, it bears underscoring that charter schools are strictly creatures of statute. From how charter schools come into being, to who attends and who can teach, to how they are governed and structured, to funding, accountability and evaluationthe Legislature has plotted all aspects of their existence. Having created the charter school approach, the Legislature can refine it and expand, reduce or abolish charter schools altogether. (See §§ 47602, subd. (a)(2), 47616.5.)

BOYS SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Jimmy Wear: The Forest senior forward was at the center of the best postseason soccer run for a boys program in Marion County history, guiding the Wildcats to the state semifinals with team highs in goals (20) and assists (20).
For first and second teams and honorable mention, see below.

There’s no real formula when it comes to getting the proper players and coaches together for that special season, but everyone seems to recognize it when it happens.

Such was the case for this year’s Forest High School boys soccer team, which proceededto rewrite the record books on its way to the Class 4A final four. It was the deepest postseason run for any county boys soccer team, and it broke an 0-for-10 all-time regional record for the Wildcats.

Stranger still is the fact that there were almost no new faces on the field for Forest, while the coaching staff — made up of first-year twentysomethings Knox Strawbridge, Matt Gilman and Robert Gilman — was without any high school coaching experience.

Yet somehow the ‘Cats breezed through their first 25 matches without a loss and came within an eyelash of playing for the 4A state title. Only a heartbreaking double overtime 4-3 loss to Steinbrenner disrupted the fairy-tale season.

Keepers Lex Craggs and Morgan Werner, with the help of a fast, aggressive back line defense, posted 21 shutouts and allowed just four goals all season before the ill-fated trip to Lutz.

Offensively, Wear was joined by center midfielder Jackie Kay, who ranked second on the team with 16 goals, and younger brother Jesse Wear (9 goals) as the ‘Cats outscored the opposition 84-8 on the year.

The 23 wins were the most ever by a Wildcat team and there were plenty of heroes during the course of the historic season. But Strawbridge, a 23-year-old former FHS soccer standout himself, pointed to Jimmy Wear’s unselfish play and ability to finish as the true catalyst of a senior-laden squad.

Ainsley Harriott also appeared in the final My Family Christmas special in 2010 "Mary Christmas".

Who Do You Think You Are?

In September 2008, Harriott took part in the genealogy documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?. Harriott knew that his great-grandfather Ebenezer Harriott was in the colonial West India Regiment, and had assumed that they were descended from slaves. In Barbados, he confirmed that his great-grandfather had a distinguished military career, and learnt that he had fought for the British Empire in the Sierra Leone Hut Tax War of 1898 –an increasingly violent protest against British tax collecting in the protectorate.

Although Harriott had assumed that his great-great-grandfather, James Gordon Harriott, was a black slave, he was revealed to be the descendant of a long line of white slave owners.[3] James Harriott was found on the 1825 register, owning eight slaves. The registers had revealed that James Gordon's father was George David Harriott. A deed of sale showed that George Harriott purchased slaves from his own father when he was just four years old. The Harriott family were from Jamaica.

Writing

Harriott is a best-selling author, publishing twelve books as well as numerous others in conjunction with his television shows. Including foreign-language translations, he has sold over 2 million books worldwide.

Other work

Personal life

Ainsley Harriott married former costume designer Clare Fellows, the youngest sister of comedian actor Graham Fellows. They have two children. In November 2012 the couple were reported to have separated and they remain on good terms.[5]I have mentioned before that, when I started junior school at the age of almost 8, I was moved up a year because the year below me was full. In total, there were four of us who that happened to, but John was the only one who started school on the same day as me.

In many ways, we were similar. We were almost the same age – he was 15 days older than me – and both tall, skinny and blond haired. The difference was that he was extremely good at sports and I had barely begun to take an interest in them, whilst I didn’t need help with my reading the way that he did.

Throughout our time at school, John was the golden boy so far as


the games staff were concerned. If anyone was needed to step up and play in an older age group, it was John they sent for. He played for the school football team, the rugby team and was the leading light of the athletics team – a situation which continued right up until the time that he left school.

One other constant was that John always had a very pretty girl to date. Three of them, to be exact. Right from those early years he seemed to have a happy knack of forming close relationships with girls which endured for some time. For the first four years that we were at school together he was close friends with Michaela Skellon, but, unfortunately, she was not one of those who wasRick Santorum's wife says in an interview that their decision to bring their dead baby son to their kids wasn't "some crazy thing" and that it was a personal way to cope with his death.

The Santorums have been criticized by some for letting their children hold the dead baby; in the interview, Santorum said that "no one can tell me how to grieve."

Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt, left, and All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen have a pre-match chat before the test in Dublin.

Steve Hansen has been offered a two-year extension after his All Blacks coaching contract runs out after the 2019 Rugby World Cup, according to one news report.

NZME said it understood that New Zealand Rugby had told Hansen he could stay on for more two years if he wanted to.

That would see him coach the national side until two years out from the 2023 World Cup before handing over to a new coach.

Hansen is due to decide before Christmas whether he wants to stay on after next year's World Cup in Japan.

Seismic Shift Chapter 40 Teaser

Esme was not quite whole, but her limp was barely noticeable. She went out of her way to include my sister in everything we did. In fact, all of my family had come together more often since then. Charlie made a formidable wolf, but he made a better father when all of his anxiety washed away with the destruction of the Volturi as we'd known them.

Frank would be happy to know he didn't have to live with a foster family, if he'd been sentient in that way. Instead, I was grateful for the both of us; I really loved that little guy. He'd warmed to other members of my family, though he still gave Jasper a wide berth.

Protesters torch 15 buses on an expressway in West Bengal state, holding up traffic for several hours, police said.

Demonstrators in eastern India on Saturday set fire to more than a dozen buses and vandalised at least six railway stations, as violent protests against a new citizenship law continued for a fourth straight day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s government says the new law will save religious minorities such as Hindus and Christians from persecution in neighbouring Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan by offering them a path to Indian citizenship. But critics say the law, which does not make the same provision for Muslims, weakens the secular foundations of India.

The law’s enactment has stirred up protests across India, but the eastern part of the country, where movements against Bangladeshi immigrants have ragedfor decades, has been among the worst hit.

On Saturday, protesters torched at least 15 buses on an expressway in West Bengal state, some 20km (12 miles) from the state capital, Kolkata, holding up traffic for several hours, two police officials said.

At least half a dozen railway stations in the state were vandalised and set on fire, leading to the cancellation of many long-distance trains, Sanjoy Ghosh, chief public relations officer at South Eastern Railway, told Reuters news agency, adding it was difficult to say when normal services would resume.

In India’s most populous Uttar Pradesh state, in the north of the country, students at the prominent Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) protested against the citizenship law and were mobilising Muslims via doorstep invitations for a bigger protest on Sunday.

“With the


Friday used tear gas and batons to disperse the protesting students, wounding dozens of them.

On Saturday, the university declared a 20-day winter break beginning December 16, according to an official notice reviewed by Reuters.

The annual break at Jamia usually begins around December 24 and the decision to go on an early break was taken due to the student protests, a university staff member said, declining to be named.

Just feet away from boardwalk visitors and beachgoers is a roaring construction project that will reshape the oceanfront of one of the communities most heavily affected by Superstorm Sandy.

A beach replenishment project began Wednesday in Ortley Beach, with sand being pumped from a dredge boat offshore to the southernmost reaches of the neighborhood.

Crews will move south-to-north and complete about 300 feet of beachfront each day. About 1,000 feet of the beach – usually two to three blocks – will be closed for a few days at a time until the project is finished.

Canadian historian J.L. Granatstein writes extensively on political, military, and diplomatic history. On March 28 in Ottawa, Mr. Granatstein and Noah Richler argued the resolution "Canadian history is nothing to be ashamed of" at a debate hosted by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

History matters. Canadian history matters. And certainly it matters to the industry that has sprung up in this sesquicentennial year of Confederation to those who have set out to dump on founders such as John A. Macdonald, Hector Langevin, and a host of others. Such men were racists, men who wanted to rid the land of aboriginal peoples and bring in only Aryan immigrants. Or so we are told, as some historians and others shamelessly apply the ideas and attitudes of the present to the past.

But the pastis a foreign country. Men and women were different then, and they held beliefs and biases that are not ours today. Women knew their place was in the kitchen, and men ruled. Children were kept in line at home and in school with corporal punishment. It was a given that the First Nations were a dying race, savages whose only hope was to adjust to life as farmers on reserves or to living in white society. It was a fixed belief that whites were superior to blacks and Asians, and that the British, Scandinavians, and Germans were by definition superior to Italians and other southern Europeans. Of course, Christianity was the only true religion, all others by definition almost unholy. Jesus Christ was certainly a superior being to

Based on his past 12 months, McDaniels shapes up as one of the more boom-or-bust, one-and-done type talents in this class, which is to say that this might end up being an optimistic slot for him, but also that he could end up higher with a huge season. He’s an unusual talent, with natural fluidity as a ball-handler and developing guard skills while also being unnervingly slender in stature. He had an uneven senior high school season despite being old for his class, and his national reputation slipped somewhat as a result. Consistency has not been McDaniels’ strong suit, but he does offer real potential as a big forward who can space the floor and create shots off theforce the issue with his play. His versatility and intelligent approach makes him an intriguing modern-day big, with strong passing skills, shooting touch out to the arc, and a good understanding of his own role. Robinson-Earl is a decent but not elite athlete in the run/jump sense, but his potential on-court value transcends the box score, which is why the hype has understandably been minimal (although, to be fair, he was voted Big East Preseason Freshman of the Year). But he has plenty of room to refine his offensive skills, enters college ready-made for important minutes, and has a nice opportunity to make his stay in college a short one. Robinson-Earl’s floor will be extremely appealing, and his game has enough nuance and his intangibles strong in enough


can add extreme value in the frontcourt. He remains a work in progress offensively, but Sylla’s game is face-up oriented, with a passable jumper, passing instincts, and the capacity to attack the rim off one dribble. It’s going to take time, but calling him raw would be a mischaracterization, as he’s spent three years developing with Real Madrid, and will play this season in Belgium before presumably entering the draft. Sylla has obvious upside as his body fills out, and has a good chance to hear his name called in the first round if his season goes according to plan.

where 500,000 people have been displaced by a month of fighting, some residents, carrying mattresses and with children in tow, left UN shelters to trek back to neighbourhoods where whole blocks have been destroyed by Israeli shelling and the smell of decomposing bodies fills the air.

Sitting on a pile of debris on the edge of the northern town of Beit Lahiya, Zuhair Hjaila, a 33-year-old father of four, said he had lost his house and his supermarket.

"This is complete destruction," he said. "I never thought I would come back to find an earthquake zone."

Minutes before the Egypt-mediated truce began at 8:00am local time on Tuesday (3:00pm AEST), Hamas launched a salvo of rockets, calling them revenge for Israel's "massacres".

Israel's anti-missile system shot down one rocket over Jerusalem, policesaid, while another hit a house in a town near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. There were no casualties.

The Palestinian foreign minister has told investigators at the International Criminal Court in the Hague that there's clear evidence of war crimes by Israel.

Riyad al-Malki says his government is preparing to join the ICC with the aim of pursuing its claims against Israel.

If the Palestinians did join the court, it would open the Palestinian territories to investigations of crimes within their borders.

But during the offensive in Gaza, Israel has also accused Hamas of war crimes for firing rockets indiscriminately towards civilians in Israel.

Efforts continue to secure long-term ceasefire

Several previous truce attempts by Egypt and other regional powers, overseen by the United States and United Nations, have failed to calm


the worst Israeli-Palestinian fighting in two years.

An Israeli official said that in the hour before the ceasefire came into effect, the civilian airspace over Tel Aviv was closed as a precaution against Gaza rockets, and takeoffs and landings were delayed at Ben-Gurion Airport.

Gaza officials say the war has killed 1,865 Palestinians, most of them civilians, while Israel says 64 of its soldiers and three civilians have been killed since fighting began on July 8, after a surge in Palestinian rocket launches.

Israel was expected to send delegates to join talks in Cairo to cement a longer-term deal during the course of the truce.

For now, strategic affairs minister Yuval Steinitz told Israel's Army Radio: "There are no agreements. As we have already said, quiet will be answered with quiet."

Hamas spokesmanSami Abu Zuhri said the Islamist movement had also informed Egypt "of its acceptance of a 72-hour period of calm".

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop earlier welcomed the ceasefire but said Australia had noted the unfolding situation in Gaza with "deep concern".

Ms Bishop said it was important that both sides "respect international humanitarian law".

"I am deeply troubled by the suffering being endured by the Palestinian population in Gaza, where many hundreds of innocent people have been killed, including women and children," she said in a statement.

"There have been a number of shocking incidents, including the indefensible shelling of three UN schools, all of which were sheltering civilians."

She said Israel, in exercising its right to self-defence, must take all necessary steps to prevent civilian casualties.

The US state department joined Ms Bishop


in welcoming the truce, urging both parties to "respect it completely".

Spokeswoman Jen Psaki added that Washington would continue its efforts to help the sides achieve a "durable, sustainable solution for the long term".

Efforts to turn the temporary ceasefire into a lasting truce could prove difficult, with the sides far apart on key demands.

Palestinians demand an end to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade on impoverished Gaza and the release of prisoners including those Israel arrested in a June crackdown in the occupied West Bank after three Jewish seminary students were kidnapped and killed.

Israel has resisted those demands in the past.

Located at 215 East De Vargas street, half a block off Old Santa Fe Trail is a beautiful little building that “supposedly” is the Oldest House in the United States. I say supposedly for two reasons. One is that the houses’ official title is: “The Oldest House in the United States…built by a European”. And two, because the house was allegedly built sometime between 1200 and 1646.

Yes, you read that correctly…1200-1646. So this place was either built in 1200 or four-hundred and forty-six years later. You know, give or take a century.

In any case, the house — which currently is home to a crafts store that was NEVER opened when I was awake — is still really cool looking. And unlike the “miraculous” staircase atwest was brutal and almost immediately, the sisters were beset with a cholera epidemic. Their Mother Superior succumbed to the illness and another sister became too ill to continue the trip and turned back.

The remaining sisters arrived sometime in the fall of 1852 and in 1853 opened the Academy of Our Lady of Light not far from the site of the present day Loretto Chapel. Over time, their school grew and using the tuitions from their students, donations and even money from their own family inheritances, the sisters funded construction of the Loretto Chapel.

Modeled after King Louis IX’s Sainte Chapelle in Paris, the Gothic-revival chapel took ten years to build and was finished — complete with stained glass windows imported from France! — sometime in 1878. The only


has been serving some of the finest, Spanish, Pueblo, and New Mexican food known to man since 1953.

Housed inside the thick adobe walls of the hacienda, the dining area is spread out across a series of small, brightly colored rooms linked by narrow doorways and halls adorned with some of the coolest art in town. The place actually felt more like someone’s house than a restaurant, and with little round fire places up front and an intimate, low-ceilinged feel throughout, you could have sworn you were eating in Yoda’s pad on Degobah. And yes, that is a good thing.

And the food…my God. Amazing! Christine ordered the Chicken Enchilada Verde which is made with traditional New Mexican blue corn tortillas and bathed in a roasted green chile sauce thatlook at what might be called internal Russian domino fears. The Soviet Union contains more than 120 nationality and ethnic groups. Some retain strong feelings of cultural identity and seek to maintain independent traditions. Under the Gorbachev banner of glasnost (openness), several of the most vigorous nationality groups have gone public with protests over historic grievances.

Tatars from the Crimea protested in Red Square last July. And on Sunday in Krasnodar, northern Caucasus, police broke up a demonstration staged in support of a group of Tatars who Saturday had sought to demonstrate near the Kremlin. They were put on trains back to the Crimea.

Groups in the formerly independent Baltic republics have staged protests in their capitals. In December 1986 a Kazakh uprising in the city of Alma Ata was


notable both for its youth and labor backing and its anti-Russian overtones.

Short term, these protests are a problem for Mr. Gorbachev. His more-conservative rivals (perhaps skeptics is a better term) on the ruling Politburo and in the Central Committee of the Communist Party capitalized on the Tatar protest in Moscow in particular. They used it last summer and fall as ammunition against Gorbachev's deposed prot'eg'e, Moscow city boss Boris Yeltsin, saying that by letting demonstrators picket he had opened the way for divisions among nationalities in the USSR. Similar accusations were made against Gorbachev's reform program in 1986 when the Kazakh clashes coincided with Chinese youth marches for democracy in Peking.

The conservatives in the Kremlin argued that glasnost was giving nationality groups an inch and they were takinga mile. It's a clich'e by now to say that Russians, the dominant nationality group in the Soviet conglomerate, are concerned about the shifting power balance that may occur because of higher birthrates among the USSR's non-Russian Asian nationalities. For decades, speculative historians have postulated that the time would come when a new ethnic awareness would arrive among the Turkic peoples who populate large parts of the southern USSR.

That is a different version of cultural and political dominoes than the broader Islamic fundamentalism scenario mentioned earlier. The latter seems to be a product of irrational but explainable fears in parts of Western Europe. Those fears stem from events in the Mideast and even North Africa. Some French still affected by the loss of Algeria, or Germans concerned about


challenging its Army for a decade in Afghanistan. The USSR is being pressed by the West to join in sanctions against Iran, the center of the new Islamic fundamentalism.

(Remember that the Caucasus lands of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan were added to the Soviet Union only between 1920 and 1922 at the end of the civil war between the Bolshevik and White Russian armies.

(Remember also that Moscow tried to retain a presence in Iran after World War II when the Iranian Tudeh [Communist] Party organized a rebellion by Azerbaijanis in the northern part of that country.)

Neither Western nor Kremlin leaders should be designing their policies toward this part of the Islamic world through fear (or appeasement, either).
