In October, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) obtained a court order permitting the installation of pen registers on Appoloney's two telephones.  During an approximately six-week period, these registers recorded some 6,800 calls.  Near the end of November, the IRS obtained and executed a search warrant for Appoloney's residence.  At the commencement of the search, IRS Special Agent Gerardi showed Appoloney the search warrant and gave him a Miranda warning.

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker was reportedly spotted at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC hours after he testified to Congress about his oversight of the Justice Department.

Whitaker has faced intense scrutiny for his coziness with the White House, as well as his public criticisms of the special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, which he now oversees.

Whitaker has been briefed on the probe, but he denies having relayed any information about it to Trump, his


lawyers, or his associates.

The hotel he went to is also at the center of a lawsuit against Trump alleging that he's violating the Constitution's emoluments clause.

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker was at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC just hours after testifying to Congress about his oversight of the Justice Department, The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported.

The news raised eyebrows among some who have criticized Whitaker for getting cozy with President Donald Trump while also overseeing an FBI investigation into Trump.

The hotel Whitaker went to is also at the center of a lawsuit against Trump alleging that he's violating the Constitution's emoluments clause, which prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts or other payments from foreign entities.

It's unclear why Whitaker was at the Trump International Hotel. Shortlybefore appearing at the Republican hot-spot, he appeared on Capitol Hill to testify to the House Judiciary Committee about his role at the Justice Department, special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, and his relationship with Trump.

The president often derides the Russia investigation and has accused the special counsel of going on a politically motivated "witch hunt" against him and his associates.

When Trump tapped Whitaker to be acting attorney general last year, Democratic lawmakers raised concerns that he did so in an effort to sideline Mueller's investigation. Whitaker, for his part, has a long history of publicly criticizing Mueller and the Russia probe, and he once mused about financially gutting the investigation to hamstring prosecutors.

On Friday, however, Whitaker said the investigation "is proceeding consistent with the regulations that outline


MRO Partnerships Flourishing Around The World

Having flown more than 35,000 mi. in the past month between North America, South America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific—on aircraft including an Embraer 190 within Brazil to a Boeing 777-300ER from Dubai to Singapore—how could airline operations not have occupied my mind?

As the world becomes more connected, and as airlines in regions such as Southeast Asia expand into sizes where aftermarket volumes support developing local services, partnerships flourish. I witnessed it on each continent.

Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore, which has succeeded in encouraging MROs there to expand into more sophisticated engineering—and even to branch out into manufacturing—is home to several prominent aftermarket players that are either beginning to set up or to extend their facilities. Satair and Airbus just opened their firstjoint service center, which triples the scope of parts handled and finishes the merger of Airbus's former material and logistics group into Satair.

In the Middle East and North Africa, the Arab Air Carriers Organization members are working together to explore efficiencies from line maintenance to joint purchasing of consumables. Both of those meetings take place this month.

And during Aviation Week's first MRO Latin America Conference in Rio de Janeiro in January, several conversations during the sessions and coffee breaks focused on spare parts—from the need for parts pooling within the region to the use of surplus parts and parts manufacturer approvals (PMA). Ahmad Zamany, vice president of technical operations for Copa Airlines, vociferously advocated for the use of PMAs to cut material costs—as long as airlines have strong

Nauru’s president, Baron Waqa, has lost his seat in parliament.

Election results from his electorate of Boe show that Waqa, who has been president since 2013, lost to Asterio Appi and Martin Hunt.

The results come amid a continuing humanitarian crisis for almost 300 refugees remaining on Nauru, with the Nauruan government accused of blocking some medical care to refugees and the Australian government attempting to repeal medevac laws.

On Friday a 36-year-old Pakistani refugee set himself alight.

Waqa only narrowly beat the former cabinet minister and serving opposition member Mathew Batsiua for third place.

The new parliament will meet and elect a new president and speaker on Tuesday, the official republic of Nauru Twitter account said. Waqa will remain in his role until then.

“His Excellency President Baron Waqa has been a wonderfulWaqa government and is a member of the Nauru 19, a group of protesters facing prosecution over a protest against the removal of Batsiua and two others from parliament.

The former president Ludwig Scotty, re-elected in May in a byelection, also lost his seat in the Anabar electorate, along with a fellow sitting MP, Riddell Akua. Elected in their place were Maverick Eoe and Pyon Deiye.

Home affairs minister, Charmaine Scotty, was re-elected in Yaren alongside Isabella Dageago.

Khyde Menke, Tawaki Kam and Lionel Aingimea were elected in Menang while Milton Dube was re-elected in Aiwo, alongside Rennier Gadabu. The opposition MP Marcus Stephen was re-elected in Anetan, as was newcomer Timothy Ika.

(CNN) Jessica Bailiff looked out at her class and saw empty desks where her students were supposed to be.

The physics teacher's heart sank. She knew why they weren't there.

The day before, federal authorities had swept through a nearby meatpacking plant, rounding up nearly 100 people they accused of being in the United States illegally.

Immigrant rights groups say last week's operation in eastern Tennessee was the largest workplace immigration raid in a decade.

More than 500 students stayed home from school the next day.

Now, a week later, most are back in class. But the community is still reeling, Bailiff says.

Kids who are supposed to be learning about light waves, radio waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, she says, are instead wondering if they'll ever see their loved ones again.

"There's just fearand sadness written all over their faces," Bailiff says.

Teachers become students

The impact of the raid rippled quickly through the community, where immigrants have become a growing part of the population. Children sobbed as they shared their families' stories at news conferences and prayer vigils. And teachers in local schools suddenly found themselves on the front lines of a crisis.

The massive operation at Southeastern Provision in Bean Station, Tennessee, came months after Trump administration officials vowed to at least quadruple work site immigration crackdowns

But last Thursday's raid took many in the community by surprise. In court documents, an IRS special agent says the plant's owners are under investigation for allegedly evading taxes, filing false federal tax returns and hiring immigrants who are in the country illegally. The owners have


not been charged and have not responded to requests for comment.

Federal agents arrested 97 immigrants that day, ICE spokeswoman Tammy Spicer said. Most of them face administrative charges for allegedly being in the United States illegally.

As rumors flew and fear mounted about what happened at the plant, activists say local teachers stepped in to help.

Some rode buses home with students that afternoon, said Colleen Jacobs, youth ministry coordinator at St. Patrick Catholic Church in nearby Morristown, Tennessee.

"When the students got to their homes, they weren't sure that there would be anyone there to meet them," she said.

On Friday, about 530 students didn't come to class in Hamblen County schools, Superintendent Jeff Perry said. That's about 5% of the district's roughly 10,000 students, and nearly a quarter of itsLatino student population. A typical day might see around 75 absences.

Some of the students who didn't show up weren't directly affected by the raid, said Stephanie Teatro, co-executive director of the Tennessee Refugee & Immigrant Rights Coalition.

"Other families are afraid that if their kids go to school and they go to work, that maybe they won't see each other again," she said.

At a prayer vigil, Esmeralda Baustista holds a photo of her brother Luis Bautista-Martinez, detained in the ICE raid. With her is daughter Yemaya and friend Yaqueline Cruz.

Schools are accustomed to dealing with traumatic events, Perry said, such as the sudden death of a family member or an accident with severe injuries.

But the scale of the immigration sweep, he said, made the impact even more pronounced.

been deported. She was too scared to tell her classmates. She would just stare out the window, holding onto his red jacket and wishing he'd come home.

On Monday, she looked out at her old school gym and couldn't believe her eyes. This was where she used to run the mile, where she played basketball and dodgeball with friends.

Now it was the site of a prayer vigil for families whose loved ones had been detained in the raid. To Rita, the gym looked just like it did when she was a kid -- with one major difference. It was packed wall-to-wall with people from the community who had come to help.

People packed the gym at Hillcrest Elementary School in Morristown, Tennessee, on Monday for a prayer vigil after nearly100 people were detained in an immigration raid.

"I felt like I had the support I needed finally after 10 years," said Rita, who asked to only be identified by her first name out of fear for her family's safety.

For days, she says, she's been offering advice to families affected by the raid: Find strength in your pain.

"When I was little and I was sitting (in those) same exact bleachers, you know what I thought, 'I don't have a voice.' But 10 years later, today, standing here in this exact same gym, I know that my voice is powerful," she told the crowd at Monday's vigil.

Behind her, a handwritten sign hung from a basketball hoop, half in English, half in Spanish. "Morristown is 'hogar.' " Morristown is home.

Child after


child came to the microphone.

A boy described how his dad, who was detained in the raid, used to make dinner and play soccer with him.

"One time," he said, "he even taught me how to shave, even though I don't have the hair yet."

A little girl stepped forward, her hair in a ponytail, her head unable to peer above the podium.

She handed a letter to a man emceeing the event and asked him to read it:

"My uncle takes care of me when I am sick. He always helps me after school. He takes me places like the mall and helps me with my homework. He's a good person. I feel angry and sad they took him away."

Another child followed her to the front of the room, reading a letterOne-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society is a 1964 book by the philosopher Herbert Marcuse, in which the author offers a wide-ranging critique of both contemporary capitalism and the Communist society of the Soviet Union, documenting the parallel rise of new forms of social repression in both these societies, as well as the decline of revolutionary potential in the West. He argues that "advanced industrial society" created false needs, which integrated individuals into the existing system of production and consumption via mass media, advertising, industrial management, and contemporary modes of thought.[1]

This results in a "one-dimensional" universe of thought and behavior, in which aptitude and ability for critical thought and oppositional behavior wither away. Against this prevailing climate, Marcuse promotes the "great refusal" (described at

Many varieties of games, including most forms of organized sports, are played as a series of game events (where game play actually occurs) throughout what is often called a “season” that occurs only once a year over the course of a few weeks or months. Within that yearly season, the interval of time between game events (during which no game play occurs) can vary greatly from only a day or two to multiple weeks. During the lengthier intervals of time between game events, some audience members may lose interest and may become less inclined to again devote time to attending, watching, listening to or otherwise following the play of subsequent game events.
In contrast, other audience members may maintain considerably greater interest in the progress of a particular playerCathkin Park, Third

Ex-Chair Of Civil Rights Group Indicted For Theft, Forgery

CINCINNATI — The former national chairman of an Atlanta-based civil rights organization was indicted Wednesday in Ohio on 51 charges that include grand theft, forgery and tampering with government records.
The Rev. Raleigh Trammell, 73, was indicted by a Montgomery County grand jury in Dayton, where he lives and also headed a local chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Trammell was indicted on one count of grand theft and 25 counts each of forgery and tampering with government records.

The alleged crimes occurred from 2005 to 2010 and involve the local chapter’s meal delivery program. The charges involve meals that the county paid Trammell for and that were not delivered, according to prosecutor’s spokesman Greg Flannagan.

Montgomery County government officials asked thepositions at the local and national SCLC levels last year after a dispute among factions at the national level.

The SCLC was co-founded by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957 and was a leading voice in the civil rights movement and the struggle for racial equality. The organization has lost members and prominence in the decades since King’s death in 1968 and has faced financial difficulty in recent years.

Infighting has compounded the SCLC’s woes and landed the group in court last year as a judge had to decide control of the organization.

Art Rocker, special assistant to Tucker, said Wednesday that membership has increased significantly since Trammell was replaced.

He said he didn’t think Trammell’s indictment would hurt the organization “because we fought to get him out of leadership.”

Ms. Norrish, age 20, lived at a cottage on Barrie Island last summer, and has completed her second year of nursing at Seneca College. Mr. McPhee has a cottage near Silver Water, and it was on this property that Ms. Norrish harvested the black bear on Saturday, September 8, 2012 using a crossbow.

This was the first ever animal Ms. Norrish has harvested. The harvested bear skull was sent to the University of Guelph for a 60 day drying out period before being measured.

“It is pretty amazing,” stated Ms. Norrish, who said the bear she harvestedDuring the 1990s, restaurants and markets
in the U.S. began to sell toothfish under the name "Chilean
sea bass." Within a few years, toothfish became a popular
restaurant dish. The growth in popularity led to increased fishing
effort, both legally and illegally.

"The exploitation rate of this resource
is alarming and unsustainable. The scale of illegal, unregulated
and unreported fishing for toothfish is a very serious conservation
and management concern," said Penny Dalton, director of
NOAA Fisheries. "Tracking and monitoring this import product
will discourage unlawful harvest and give U.S. consumers confidence
that the seafood they eat is legally and sustainably caught."

A number of conservation and management
measures addressing illegal and unregulated fishing on toothfish
have been adopted by the CCAMLR over the last three years. These
measures have included flag state licensing of fishing vessels,
annual catch quotas, vessel monitoring systems, and


identification
of fishing gear. However, despite increased inspections and sanctions
in recent years, total toothfish landings have been estimated
at up to twice the level of the amount of catch allowed in CCAMLR
regulated fisheries.

At the November 1999 CCAMLR meeting, the
commission adopted a Catch
Documentation Scheme for toothfish. The CDS is a trade tracking
and monitoring measure requiring that all landings, transhipment,
and importation of toothfish into CCAMLR member countries be
accompanied by a catch tracking document. The purpose of the
catch documentation scheme is to monitor international trade,
identify the origins of imports, and to determine if imports
were caught consistent with CCAMLR conservation measures.

"Today's final rule fulfills the United
States' obligation as a CCAMLR member to conserve Antarctic and
Patagonian toothfish," Dalton added.

The rule implements a CCAMLR requirement
that requires all parties receiving, importing, or exporting
toothfish to submit a catchdocument to NOAA Fisheries for all
toothfish. The catch document specifies a range of information
relating to the volume and location of catch and the name and
flag state of the vessel. Dealer permits are also required for
the import and export of toothfish whether harvested within or
outside CCAMLR waters. A permit to tranship toothfish, wherever
harvested, is required as well. Each CCAMLR member shall ensure
that its customs authorities or other appropriate officials request
and examine the import documentation of each shipment of toothfish
to verify that it includes the CCAMLR catch document that accounts
for all of the toothfish contained in the shipment.

CCAMLR came into force in 1982, as part
of the Antarctic Treaty System. The aim of the convention is
to conserve marine life in the Southern ocean. This does not
exclude harvesting as long as such


harvesting is carried out
in a sustainable manner. The Southern ocean surrounds the continent
of Antarctica. The Antarctic Convergence, which is formed where
the cold Antarctic waters meet the warmer waters to the north,
outlines the Southern ocean and acts as an effective biological
barrier, making it a substantially closed ecosystem. Each member
of CCAMLR is involved in fishing or research in the Southern
ocean, or both, and through the commission, these operations
are coordinated and regulated to fulfil members' obligations
under the convention.

Nichols not shocked by Warriors' slew of injuries Rachel Nichols says that the Warriors' injuries were inevitable after their five straight playoff appearances, while Kevin Arnovitz admits they should take a loss this season.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard said he has never seen anything like the rash of injuries the Golden State Warriors have endured dating back to the 2019 NBA Finals.

"I've never seen it," Lillard said in advance of Monday's game against the Warriors. "I think they might be the first to do a lot of things. At one point they had a starting five of five All-Stars, won 73 games, they've done a lot of great things, made a lot of history.

"It just seems likethem not as the Warriors.

"I feel for the players. You never want to see any of your peers go down with injuries. Klay's a great dude, so it sucks to see him go down that way. Same thing with Steph. ... They'll recover and they'll be back hopefully at 100 percent. That's what we all want to see."

Aside from the differences on the floor, Monday's game also marked the first time Lillard, a proud Oakland native, played inside Chase Center, the Warriors' new billion-dollar arena in San Francisco. He notched his fourth 30-point performance in the first seven games with 39 points on 15-for-26 shooting, including five 3-pointers.

As he spoke to reporters following Monday's shootaround, Lillard noted several times just how much different the new arena felt compared


to Oracle Arena, the Warriors' home in Oakland for the past 47 years.

"It's very weird," Lillard said. "It's very weird ... this is extra weird. Because I'm looking around like -- this place has no history. So it's definitely different."

Lillard acknowledged that while it was tough not being able to play closer to his home, he was frustrated by the fact that several professional teams are moving out of the Oakland area. The Raiders are expected to move to a brand-new stadium in Las Vegas next season.

"It just rubs me wrong," Lillard said. "Like I've watched games here [at Chase Center] on TV and the crowd's just not the same. ...The Black Hole is still there. You still see the Nation in support, why would you leave thatto abide by the federal government’s rules, but welcoming it now probably beats fighting it. North Dakota is one of the states that sued the government over the CPP, but observers say the state is quietly preparing its compliance anyway.

Even before the White House rolled out its climate agenda, Minnesota had put in place one of the strongest renewable energy standards in the country, requiring that 25 percent of the state’s power come from sources like solar, wind, and hydrogen by 2025. Beyond that, Minnesota had already reduced emissions from electric power plants by 20 percent in the last decade, and utilities like Xcel Energy have embraced ambitious carbon reduction plans.

Minnesota cities have also adopted some of the strongest climate change mitigation plans in the country. In October,


Rochester announced it is aiming to get 100 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2030. In July, Minneapolis rolled out its Climate Action Plan, under which it plans to reduce carbon emissions by 15 percent of 2006 levels this year, and by 30 percent in 10 years.

Putting Minnesota in the spotlight

Clearly, Minnesota has already been enthusiastic in developing plans to fight climate change and mitigate its effects. So what does the Paris agreement mean for the state? It might be best to see it as an opportunity for Minnesota to assume a national leadership role in the fight against climate change, and as a key player in the new energy economy, according to Ellen Anderson, executive director of the Energy Transition Lab at the University ofChch commuters feel the pain

Christchurch commuters are unhappy with increasing traffic, but have no interest in public transport, a new survey shows.

Residents in 23 cities around the world were asked about their commuting habits, including 937 people in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

The average, 22-minute Christchurch commute is one of the shortest trips of any international city, the IBM Commuter Pain Survey shows.

Most Christchurch motorists (76 per cent) travel alone, compared with 74 per cent in Auckland, and 50 per cent in Wellington.

The city's motorists were more concerned with increasing traffic than those in Wellington and Auckland, with 49 per cent saying traffic had got worse in the past three years.

However, Christchurch residents had the least interest in public transport of the three New Zealand cities, with only


27 per cent interested in improved public transport systems, compared with 51 per cent of Auckland drivers.

Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said he was not surprised by the survey results.

"The private car is king in the city," he said.

Parker said the September 4 earthquake and recent problems with the city's buses had deterred people from using public transport, while a "hiatus" in rising energy costs had kept driving costs down.

Parker believed interest in public transport would rise as petrol prices and traffic congestion increased.

Light rail or tram-trains would provide alternatives to buses and could help "convert" commuters, Parker said.

"In order for public transport to work, it has to generate its own appeal and stand as an attractive alternative ... and looking at the modes which we use is oneneeds to encourage walking and cycling to fight health problems, Canterbury transport leaders say.

The regional transport committee, which includes the mayors of the Ashburton, Waimakariri, Waimate and Hurunui districts, wants Transport Minister Steven Joyce to spend more on "active" transport.

A draft letter, signed by Environment Canterbury (ECan) commissioner Rex Williams, said a "significant barrier" to walking and cycling was the Government's policy statement on land transport.

The policy statement would be reviewed next year.

"The committee strongly believes that increased levels of funding in active transport would, at relatively low cost, deliver significant improvements to public health, reducing health costs to government and the community and improving workforce productivity."

ECan commissioner Tom Lambie said a safer environment for cyclists would encourage more people not to use cars.

He's voted for veterans funding bills only 30% of the time, according to a scorecard of roll-call votes put out by the nonpartisan Disabled Americans for America. Under the same system Obama has a 90% rating — though, of course, he has spent a much shorter time in Washington.

OK, fast forward a few years and here’s where it gets freaky.

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Milann Ruff Daugherty. She had found a collection of her great-great-uncle’s letters and published them, and wanted to know if I’d be so kind as to review the book here.

I know a little about Antietam (since I’m on the board of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation I better know a little), and recognize Smoketown as a place where many Union wounded were sent after the battle to recover. Or, as in the sad case of James Gates, to not recover. A quick web search turned up this photo of his headstone, for the above use of which I thank Sharon Murray.

History

World War II
Empire Darwin was launched on 13 May 1941 and completed in July. The United Kingdom Official Number 168927 and Code Letters BCMQ were allocated. Her port of registry was West Hartlepool. She was operated under the management of Evan T Radcliffe & Co Ltd.

Empire Darwin arrived at Middlesbrough, Yorkshire on 19 July 1941. Three days later, she joined Convoy EC 48, which departed from Southend, Essex on 20 July andmetalworking line into a
separate, newly created corporation, which we called Amchem No. 2. That subsequent
corporation assumed both the assets and the liabilities of the original Amchem insofar as
they related to metalworking activities. A year later, Amchem No. 2 was acquired by and
merged into Henkel Corporation. Subsequently, the original Amchem, which continued its
agricultural chemical business, was acquired by another entity, which in turn was later
acquired by, and merged into, yet another corporation. (Henkel, supra, 29 Cal.4th at
pp. 938-939.)

Party Insurance
(1920) 64, 65), and this general type of insurance became only more widely employed in the
next decade. (Vance, Handbook of the Law of Insurance (2nd ed. 1930) pp. 912-918
[describing the forms of liability policies in common use].) Moreover, by the early 1930s it
was noted that, with regard to liability policies, “in general, the same doctrines of law apply
as in other branches of insurance law.” (Long, Richards on the Law of Insurance (4th ed.
1932) p. 885.)
       These and other extensive developments in the landscape of insurance law were in
turn reflected in the code commission‟s — and subsequently, the Legislature‟s — treatment
of the new Insurance Code. Both entities reevaluated key statutory provisions, revised
some, eliminated some, and added others under the code‟s newly organizedthe new Civil Code, they modified the

by the corresponding Commission for the State of New York. (Commissioners of the Code,
The Civil Code of the State of New York (1865) (the draft Field Code).) It was known as
the Field Code for David Dudley Field, its chief author and advocate. The California
commissioners lauded the draft Field Code as “a monument of legal wisdom and patient
industry.” (Proposed Revised Laws (1871), supra, at p. iv.) They observed that the draft
Field Code included “numerous references to leading cases, in which the particular principle

annotated code as a means of

civilization and culture perished. But by claiming the achievements of the West for Europeans, Francis had passed beyond the bounds of tolerance. He was summarily fired.

The year after Sam Francis died, a nameless Beltway cockroach crept from the dessicated husk of the Washington Times and chittered bravely to the hot wind howling over the radioactive ruins of the American Empire, pronouncing State of Emergency “stunningly logical,” “remorseless,” “unimpeachable”:

Americans, from what ever nation or ethnicity we originated, have formed a common culture worth preserving, and a common history worth continuing.

The winds blew on.

Chernobyl, 1991:

Just kidding: Detroit, present day (images). “City on the move!”

It was in this context of vibrant diversity, cultural consciousness, and civilizational survival that Sam Francis developed one of his most important ideas: anarcho-tyranny.

In Europe, if not1982, “said that the problems resulting from the influx of mostly Turkish Gastarbeiter, or guest workers, had been neglected in Germany and the rest of Europe. They could be overcome only by authoritarian governments, he added, naming Singapore as an example.” He’s hardly the first to see this, although admittedly, at the age of 85, he’s just a wee bit behind the curve. As long ago as 1990, I wrote, in an article in Chronicles magazine, “The late Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the dominions of the Habsburgs and the Romanoffs, among others, all presided over a kind of rainbow coalition of nations and peoples, who for the most part managed to live happily because their secret compulsions to spill each other’s blood was


am obliged to note that this does not describe, e.g., the democratic tyrants of the 20th century, who depended on popular support for their continued survival. Compare the careers of Frederick the Great, who commanded the personal loyalty of the Prussian military; with Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin’s short-lived successor. One of these men had absolute power; the other one was a tyrant.)

As Francis himself put it:

The late Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the dominions of the Habsburgs and the Romanoffs, among others, all presided over a kind of rainbow coalition of nations and peoples, who for the most part managed to live happily because their secret compulsions to spill each other’s blood was restrained by the overwhelming power of the despots and dynasties who ruledthem.

When Sam Francis thought of authoritarian government in a multicultural state, he pictured the late (post-Republic) Roman Empire; whereas we picture the Belgian Congo (Time, 1955):

In the Belgian Congo last week massed tom-tom drummers practiced a welcome tattoo. Prosperous Negro shopkeepers climbed up wooden ladders and draped the Congolese flag (a golden star on a blue field) from lampposts and triumphal arches set up along Boulevard Albert I, the spanking concrete highway that bisects the capital city of Léopoldville. In far-off mission churches, encircled by the rain forest that stretches through Belgian territory from the Atlantic to the Mountains of the Moon, choirs of Bantu children rehearsed the Te Deum. African regiments drilled, jazz bands blared in the bush, and on the great brown river that drains the


A government helicopter sprays the town with DDT to keep away mosquitoes, but many of the Negroes put far more faith in “charms.” There are swimming pools, tennis courts and night schools, but many of those who use them still believe in witchcraft. The Belgian attitude is that these things will only change slowly. It is an attitude that is shared by the three big institutions which run Congo life: the state, which is absolute (no one has a vote in the Congo); the big corporations, which control one-third of the land area and at least half the Negro workers; and the Roman Catholic Church, which maintains the Congo’s schools and most of its hospitals. The state is Governor General Léo Pétillon, 52, a diminutive Belgian barrister whoback it up to 1876 (A History of Crime in England):

Meanwhile, it may with little fear of contradiction be asserted that there never was, in any nation of which we have a history, a time in which life and property were so secure as they are at present in England. The sense of security is almost everywhere diffused, in town and country alike, and it is in marked contrast to the sense of insecurity which prevailed even at the beginning of the present century. There are, of course, in most great cities, some quarters of evil repute in which assault and robbery are now and again committed. There is perhaps to be found a lingering and flickering tradition of the old sanctuaries and similar resorts. But any man


lightly treated or wholly disregarded by law enforcers in the late twentieth century. In 1912–13, for example, one quarter of males aged 16 to 21 who were imprisoned in the metropolitan area of London were serving seven-day sentences for offences which included drunkenness, ‘playing games in the street,’ riding a bicycle without lights, gaming, obscene language and sleeping rough. If late twentieth-century standards of policing and sentencing had been applied in Edwardian Britain, the prisons would have been virtually empty; conversely, if Edwardian standards were applied in the 1990s then most of the youth of Britain would be in gaol. As it happens, 1913 was a fairly bad year by the standards of the time, with 98,000 serious offences recorded. This level would not be surpassed again untilto where they were before, with a huge overall increase since 1900 — what does this tell you?

Mr. Alexander has a counterargument: “And lest someone bring up that medical technology has advanced enough to turn many would-be murders into attempted murders — which is true — aggravated assaults, the category of crime that would encompass attempted murders, are less than half of what they were twenty years ago.” (Again, history began in the 1990s.) This brings me to an interesting and relevant fact about crime statistics:

The Police Manipulate Crime Statistics

They manipulate them in New York City, Denver, Milwaukee, Orlando, Buffalo, Chicago, Nassau County, and Washington D.C., and all over the United Kingdom, and they probably manipulate them everywhere else too.

For example, in New York City in 2005, a


blue, a woman beaten by her spouse, and a woman burgled by men who forced their way into her apartment.” In 2011, the New York Times found over a hundred felonies that had been downgraded to misdemeanors or simply ignored, including an attempted rape, a double shooting of teenage girls in the Bronx, the theft of an iPhone and an iPad, a nearly fatal choking, and a razor-wielding robber. In 2013, “police paperwork for lost property ‘described a complainant who “lost property” following an assault by multiple individuals.’”

In short, “assault becomes harassment, robbery becomes grand larceny, grand larceny becomes petit larceny, burglary becomes criminal trespass” — and the mayor’s approval rating goes up. Meanwhile, “the number of assault victims taken to emergency rooms nearly doubled” from 1999 toDays (1882), the American poet Walt Whitman tells us about his travels by train through several US states in the fall and winter of 1879. He visits St. Louis, and writes:

Of Missouri averaged politically and socially I have heard all sorts of talk, some pretty severe — but I should have no fear myself of getting along safely and comfortably anywhere among the Missourians.

Mr. Whitman had high hopes for the future (Democratic Vistas, 1871):

And, topping democracy, this most alluring record, that it alone can bind, and ever seeks to bind, all nations, all men, of however various and distant lands, into a brotherhood, a family. It is the old, yet ever-modern dream of earth, out of her eldest and her youngest, her fond philosophers and poets. Not that


half only, individualism, which isolates. There is another half, which is adhesiveness or love, that fuses, ties and aggregates, making the races comrades, and fraternizing all.

How far has democracy taken St. Louis toward this noble goal? (I’m going to skip the usual boring stuff, like two quintuple shootings in a single night, one of them with an AK-47; etc.)

In April*, June, August and October of 2011 (and three more times, according to police), February*, March, again in March, April, May and August of 2012, and January, July and November of 2013 (and 10 times in 2010, but good luck finding them in the papers), there were documented cases of black mobs ambushing pedestrians or bicyclists, mostly white, and beating them unconscious, *sometimes to death, as part of astock. The appeal is from that decree.
The appellant contends that the transaction was completed outside of the State of California and hence that the law of California was not applicable thereto. W. F. Fielder, vice president and general manager of appellant after its organization, negotiated the transaction on behalf of appellant and sent a written offer dated San Francisco, California, March 18, 1926, to appellee at Los Angeles, California. In this letter, Fielder stated that the arrangement with appellee had been taken up with the executive committee of the appellant corporation and approved by them, and in it was set out the provisions of the purchase plan which included a provision that *541 the agreement was to be effective March 12, 1926, the day before the appellant was


organized. This provision was inserted for accounting purposes. Appellee signed the letter accepting the provisions thereof March 24, 1926, in Los Angeles, California.
By the contract appellee agreed to sell to appellant his business which he operated under the name of the "Metropolitan Drivurself Company," and appellant agreed to purchase the business for the consideration of $1,000 in cash and 75 shares of preferred stock and 194 shares of common stock of the appellant corporation. Appellee transferred his business to appellant who paid him the $1,000 and delivered the stock to appellee in California by registered mail.
The corporation was reorganized in the fall of 1929 with the consent of appellee, who received 75 shares of the common capital stock of the reorganized company in lieu of the preferred andnegotiated, signed by both parties, and consummated in the State of California," and contends that there is no evidence that the stock was not issued in Nevada. Appellant's theory is that the acceptance of the letter by appellee was merely an offer on his part, later accepted by the corporation; that "the issuance of the stock must be presumed to have taken place in Nevada"; and that "he [appellee] became a stockholder as soon as his offer was accepted, and this condition would exist without the issuance or delivery of a certificate."
In the case at bar, the contract evidenced by the letter of March 18, 1926, was performed, in so far as transferring title to the stock is concerned, by the delivery of the certificates of stock by


in California. The negotiations with appellee were carried on in California. *542 The appellant corporation had been organized at the time Fielder wrote the letter of March 18, 1926, and he was its vice president and general manager. It was an offer by appellant made in California and accepted by appellee in California. The stock was delivered to and accepted by appellee in California.
The presumption that the parties intended to enter into a valid agreement and, therefore, must be deemed to have intended delivery of the stock in Nevada, cannot stand against evidence that the contract was made and the stock delivered in California. The transaction was governed by the laws of California, and if invalid thereunder cannot stand. The law of California on that subject has recentlyNews

Schumacher family confident in doctors

Michael Schumacher's family are "happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors" according to his manager Sabine Kehm.

There remains no change in Schumacher's condition but Kehm was forced to release another statement asking for media not to speculate over his treatment and potential recovery. However, Kehm was also keen to stress views of the Schumacher family with regards to the treatment he has been receiving so far.

"Unfortunately I have to repeat that any information regarding Michael's health not coming from the doctors treating him or from his management must be treated as pure speculation," the statement read.

"I also repeat that Michael's family is very happy and confident with the work of the team of doctors treating Michael, and they trust them

Donald J. Trump treats our nation’s allies and international agreements as he treats his wives and mistresses – the tossed-off bones of his rapidly-consumed fast food chicken parts.

His insatiable appetite for women of a certain physical type, for incalculable wealth, admiration, and the media spotlight presented limited dangers before his election.

Following his ascendancy to the Oval Office, though, in his position as the world’s most powerful “leader,” his excesses threaten our democratic


institutions and the rule of law. And through it all, he places blame on his predecessors and on the victims of his abuse and bullying.

By abandoning our nation’s once trusted alliances that have served effective in preventing another major world war, he is screwing our allies while cozying up with brutal dictatorial tyrants, thus sacrificing any remaining degree of moral authority we once maintained.

He exhibits more respect for his corrupt EPA Secretary and his over-the-top misogynistic lawyer than he does for venerated national leaders in Europe and North America.

Trump jeopardizes the status of our NATO alliances and our trading partnerships. His unjustified divorce from the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and his attempts to separate from the North American Free Trade Agreement pose severe challengesto the United States’ leadership role in the world.

His virtually unilateral decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in advance of any genuine endeavor to broker peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians further inflamed passions in the region.

Trump has quickly transformed what was until recently merely his own dysfunctional family into an inoperative world order quickly spinning out of control.

Contrary to his meager and seriously flawed understanding of history, Canada (which was not yet an independent nation at the time) did not torch the White House during the War of 1812. The current resident of the People’s House, however, incinerates all he touches to ash.

This President acts on instinct over reason, personal compulsion over national interests, unmet frozen psychological needs over international standards of diplomacy.


Antonio Conte is willing to take over the reins at Inter Milan on the proviso they make him the highest paid manager in the Serie A.

Conte, 49, is on the lookout for a new job after sitting out this season following his sacking by Chelsea in the summer.

The Italian has been linked with several top clubs but Inter are stepping up their interest in the former Juventus and Italy manager.

Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is wanted by Inter Milan but has made high demands

Luciano Spalletti is in danger of being replaced by Conte at Inter Milan despite their good form

Inter president Steven Zhang has reportedly told general manager Beppe Marotta to bring Conte to the San Siro at all costs.

However, Conte has doubts about returning to Italy afterenjoying his two-year spell in England so is making hefty demands.

Conte is demanding to be paid a £9million annual salary after tax which would make him the highest earner among his Serie A managerial rivals.

If Inter give Conte what he wants then he would earn £2.5m more than Juventus' Massimiliano Allegri, who is currently Serie A's highest-paid manager.

Inter will have to shell out £21.5m if they are to sack current boss Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti, whose current deal runs out in 2021, could lose his job despite his side being in third spot with seven games to go.

Despite their league position, Inter are 27 points behind league leaders Juventus.

grew, they moved to a local church. In an effort to raise public awareness about the risks of hydraulic fracturing (or “fracking”) they attended township meetings, zoning and ordinance hearings, and gas-drilling forums. They invited speakers from other states affected by gas drilling to talk with Pennsylvania residents. They held house-party style screenings of documentary films.

Since the group had never engaged in any kind of illegal activity or particularly radical forms of protest, it came as a shock when GDAC members learned that their organization had been featured in intelligence bulletins compiled by a private security firm, The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR). Equally shocking was the revelation that the Pennsylvania Department of Homeland Security had distributed those bulletins to local police chiefs, state, federal, andACLU.

The Pennsylvania episode is not an isolated case. The FBI and Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a Koch Brothers-backed lobbying group, have both taken an interest in anti-drilling activists in Texas. In the fall of 2011, according to an investigation by The Washington Post, the FBI was digging for information on the leader of Rising Tide North America, a direct action environmental group, because of his opposition to hydraulic fracturing (Rising Tide has also been active in organizing protests against the Keystone XL pipeline). Ben Kessler, a Texas-based activist, told the Post that the FBI had received an anonymous tip to look into his activities. The agency also showed up at the office of Kessler’s philosophy professor, Adam Briggle, who teaches an ethics course that covers nonviolent civil disobedience


and the history of the environmental movement. Briggle, who has been involved in organizing residents to impose tougher regulations on gas drilling in Denton, Texas, told the Post that, “it seemed like a total fishing expedition to me.”

About a month after he was approached by the FBI, Briggle received a notice from his employer, the University of North Texas, asking him to turn over all emails and other written correspondence “pursuant to City of Denton natural gas drilling ordinances and the ‘Denton Stakeholder Drilling Advisory Group,’” an organization Briggle founded in July 2011 whose mission is similar to that of GDAC. The university had received a request under the state’s Public Information Act and Briggle was forced to hand over more than 1,300 emails. He was later toldNew York Times. Around the same time, Dezenhall – described by Bill Moyers as the “Mafia of industry” – was involved in corporate espionage. Along with two other PR companies, Dezenhall hired a now-defunct private security firm, Beckett Brown International, to spy on environmental activists. One of the targeted groups was Greenpeace. In 2011 Greenpeace filed a lawsuit charging that Dow Chemical, Sasol (formerly CONDEA Vista), the PR firms, and individuals working for Beckett Brown International (which was founded by former Secret Service officers) stole thousands of documents, intercepted phone call records, trespassed, and conducted unlawful surveillance. In a story for Mother Jones, James Ridgeway revealed that the security firm obtained donor lists, detailed financial statements, Social Security numbers of staff members, and strategy memos from several groups,


whom Jiunta described as “wackos.” Jiunta admits that he was pretty naïve when he first got involved in anti-drilling activism; he would print out large stacks of information on fracking to bring to state senators, who politely told him not to waste their time. Now, his faith in the role of government has been shattered. “People worried about being on a watch list,” he told me. “It was shocking.”

In the wake of the surveillance scandal Pennsylvania Homeland Security Director James Powers resigned and the state terminated its $103,000 no-bid contract with ITRR. Then-governor Ed Rendell called the episode “deeply embarrassing” and a one-day Senate inquiry was held. In testimony before the committee, Virginia Cody, the retired Air Force officer who had become a critic of gas drilling, said:Corporations in Europe and Canada have also spied on environmental groups. In 2006 French energy giant EDF, the world’s largest operator of nuclear reactors, hired Kargus Consultants, a private intelligence gathering agency run by a former member of the French secret service, to spy on Greenpeace. Kargus hacked into a lead Greenpeace organizer’s computer and compiled a dossier on the organization’s European campaign strategy. In 2011 a French court fined EDF 1.5 million euros and sent two of its employees to jail on charges of illegal spying.

Although it was not raised at the Pennsylvania Senate hearing, the ITRR bulletins also were shared with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). In January a Montreal paper reported that the RCMP itself has been tracking anti-shale gas activists in Quebec. The


Critical Infrastructure Intelligence Team, a branch of the RCMP, produced two reports that described the possibility of Canadian activists collaborating with “extremist” groups in the US, such as Earth First! and Occupy Well Street – an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street opposed to fracking. According to Jeff Monaghan, a researcher with the Surveillance Studies Center at Queen’s University in Ontario, the Canadian government likely shares intelligence with the energy industry. Since at least 2005 the Canadian government has held biannual intelligence briefings to share sensitive information with the private sector. In 2007 Gary Lunn, former Minister of Natural Resources, admitted his agency had helped more than 200 industry representatives obtain high-level security clearances. “This enables us to share information with industry and their associations,” Lunn said at awell site near her home. In 2008 she started helping a group of citizens who had filed a lawsuit against one of the larger energy companies in Ohio on grounds of nuisance violations and loss of property value. She spent many months doing research and collecting files related to the case, some of which she described as damning.

Because of her profession Matsko has very strong computer security and says that prior to working on oil and gas issues she had never had problems with malware. But while assisting with the lawsuit Matsko’s computer was attacked by a sophisticated virus. Matsko was able to remove it and everything seemed fine. About a month later, though, she unsuccessfully tried to open the computer folder that contained the sensitive files related


on Sunday, takes us deep into the heartland of America, a land overtaken by gas extraction via fracking. The iconic and recurring depictions of water-on-fire seen in the first Gasland, in the new film serve as postcards from a travelogue through a land of broken promises, abandoned homes, and extinguished rights.

The first Gasland, (which was released in 2010 and nominated for a 2011 Academy Award) became this country’s wake-up call about fracking, the first prod for millions to look beyond the industry-engineered PR facade. Banjo music played throughout the soundtrack revealed director Josh Fox’s chosen musical instrument. But Fox became a kind of Pied Piper for a growing grass roots movement that questioned the need for fracking. Challenging the inroads claimed by the multinational gas and oil industry,know it will be irrevocably altered forever. Unless we rise up and fight back.

Do The Math chronicles follows the climate crusader Bill McKibben as he works with a rising global movement in a David-vs-Goliath fight to change the terrifying math of the climate crisis.

This growing groundswell of climate activists is going after the fossil fuel industry directly, energizing a movement like the ones that overturned the great immoral institutions of the past century, such as Apartheid in South Africa. The film follows people who are putting their bodies on the line the Keystone XL Pipeline and leading universities and institutions to divest in the corporate polluters hellbent on burning fossil fuels no matter the cost.

After finding foam and oil slicks in the creek next to their well, and then when their large pond turned green, the Hagys knew something wasn’t right.

Dusty lodged a formal complaint with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on Nov. 17, 2008. DEP records reveal a gas inspector visited the site at the well’s completion and issued no violations. DEP records also reveal the three natural gas wells began producing gas in July 2008 and the wells today continue toAct, may offer the natural gas industry the biggest shield from liabilities and the greatest obstacle for parties alleging fracking water contamination.

In response to the Bopal, India disaster, when Union Carbide released a harmful gas into an urban area which killed more than 20,000 people, Congress required industries to list harmful chemicals on the Toxic Release Inventory to the EPA. The EPA collects and then disseminates that information to the public and local governments.

Yet, oil and gas companies were exempted from the Toxic Release Inventory, therefore chemical disclosure is different for each of the 29 fracking states. To boot, shale gas production, or fracking, is concentrated in relatively gas-friendly states: Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, West Virginia, Colorado and North Dakota, listed in order of gas production volume.

According to


part of that inquiry, the
Committee asked the 14 leading oil and gas service companies to disclose the types and volumes of the hydraulic fracturing products they used in their fluids between 2005 and 2009 and the chemical contents of those products. This report summarizes the information provided to the Committee.

Between 2005 and 2009, the 14 oil and gas service companies used more than 2,500
hydraulic fracturing products containing 750 chemicals and other components. Overall, these
companies used 780 million gallons of hydraulic fracturing products – not including water added
at the well site – between 2005 and 2009.

Some of the components used in the hydraulic fracturing products were common and
generally harmless, such as salt and citric acid. Some were unexpected, such as instant coffee
and walnut hulls. And some were extremely toxic,are unable effectively to assess any impact the use of these fluids may have on the environment or public health.

III. METHODOLOGY

On February 18, 2010, the Committee commenced an investigation into the practice of hydraulic fracturing and its potential impact on water quality across the United States. This investigation built on work begun by Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman in 2007 as Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The Committee initially sent letters to eight oil and gas service companies engaged in hydraulic fracturing in the United States. In May 2010, the Committee sent letters to six additional oil and gas service companies to assess a

the structure.

According to Benny Meehan, one of Mr McNamara's supporters, the concrete structure is intended to be a "place of reflection" where people can think about what has happened to Ireland over the last few years in a place of quiet and solitude.

"Some people have portrayed Joe as some kind of lunatic. He is not. He is a quiet and reflective man and he is just trying to raise awareness and get people thinking about what has happened to this country," said Mr Meehan.

Mayo County Council brought proceedings against Mr McNamara, 41, with addresses at Achill Island, Co Mayo, and Salthill, Co Galway, claiming that he breached court orders by continuing working on the structure after he was served last Sunday morning with a High Court order todesist to build what the council said was an unauthorised and unlawful development.

On Friday at the High Court, Judge Roderick Murphy found that Mr McNamara had continued work on the structure, which consists of an outer ring 30 metres wide marked out by imposing 4.5 metre high columns with tapping stones placed on top, after being properly served with the order to desist.

The judge ordered that as Mr McNamara was not prepared to purge his contempt, he would stay in Mountjoy prison until Tuesday.

Mr McNamara was acquitted earlier this year of charges of criminal damage and dangerous driving over an incident where a cement lorry with the words "toxic bank" was driven up to the gates of Leinster House.

And lest you think the characters in question are obscure ones that Marvel wouldn't mind handing off as an experiment, think again: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are each getting their own shows.

But if the news of four new Marvel shows wasn't insane enough, just wait until you hear their plan for it all:

Anyway, the New Avengers were on a skyscraper fighting a bunch of ninjas from the Hand. A shit ton of them swarm Cage and knock him off the building.

8 interesting players to follow during Bills training camp

John Murphy

Play-by-play/Host

Rookie running back Devin Singletary breaks free during Buffalo's first practice in pads on Saturday.

Only a few practices in, but there are already a number of compelling figures among the 91 players at Bills camp. Players are scrambling to make the roster or attempting to lock-down starting positions. Young players are looking to take the next step in their careers. Players are rebounding from injury and some newcomers are just hoping to make a good first impression.

Pittsford is full of stories on this first weekend of training camp. Below I pick one player from each position group with the most interesting storyline to follow during Bills training camp. Here's my list …

1. Josh Allen, quarterback

Matt Barkley is in hisfirst camp with the Bills, and undrafted rookie Tyree Jackson has started the uphill climb towards a roster spot. But Josh Allen is the most compelling quarterback on the roster, as coaches and fans look for signs that he's ready to advance his push to be the team's franchise signal caller.

When asked in the offseason where Allen must improve this year, Bills coaches and personnel executives had generally the same response – decision making. And Allen offered an example of how his decision making has improved already, citing a snap in Friday's 11-on-11 portion of practice.

"Today, for the first time, I was pretty pumped," Allen told One Bills Live, talking about a third-down play against a blitz look.

"They were showing double a-gap blitz and it was third down


rather than wait for something to possibly open-up downfield. Good signs as camp begins with much more work to come.

It's a full-house backfield — maybe not on the field but in the meeting room. And the Bills will have some decisions to make on LeSean McCoy, Frank Gore, T.J. Yeldon, and others.

The decision on Devin Singletary seems simple — how much playing time will he get. He looks as advertised through the first few training camp practices – quick, elusive, and a big-play threat once he gets outside. The question will be how much he will develop as an asset in the passing game – as a receiver and a blocker. That will be a work in progress at camp.

He missed most of the spring time reps inwhile, and Jason Croom limited with a hamstring, it's a wide-open door at tight end. Third-round draft pick Dawson Knox from Ole Miss started camp the way he finished minicamp —running with the first team and looking impressive. Unfortunately, Knox is now sidelined with a hamstring injury according to head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott said Knox and the team are just taking it day-by-day at this point.

Based on Knox's work in the spring and the first week of camp, it looks like he will have a key role in Buffalo's offense this season.

During the pre-draft process, Knox missed the Senior Bowl last January with an injury, but the executive director of that showcase game for draft prospects says he had Knox graded as high as the draft's top


tight end.

"I'm a huge believer in Dawson's ability," Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy told One Bills Live. "T.J. Hockenson went eight overall in the draft to the Detroit Lions and I didn't see very much difference between those two players, and you got your guy in the third round. The Lions spent a top 10 pick on theirs. I think Hockensen is a great player so I'm not knocking that pick, I just think Dawson Knox has the ability to be pretty much the same guy at the next level."

Four seasons, 56 NFL games, but only 16 starts in Ty Nsekhe's career. He's had limited reps with the Bills No. 1 offensive line in training camp. Yet you get the feeling the Bills know what they havein Nsekhe — a versatile swing tackle for either side, and a 33-year old NFL veteran they can plug in and start whenever they're ready.

They're using rookie Cody Ford with the ones on the right side so far and third-year man Dion Dawkins at left tackle. Don't be shocked if Nsekhe gets plugged into the first unit sometime during camp.

First team, second team — with all the rotation on the defensive line it doesn't matter much. But the Bills are being patient with first round draft pick Ed Oliver in the first few days of camp.

Head coach Sean McDermott sounded patient the other day when he talked about Oliver's play at camp.

"It's a journey, so it just takes some time." McDermott said. "He'll have to go through really


from watching the early days of training camp. An exhaustive rehab regimen this offseason after Milano dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula has put him seemingly right where he was last year, making plays at outside linebacker for the Bills.

With 16 defensive backs in training camp, there's plenty of performers to keep an eye on. The most interesting defensive back might be fifth-year veteran cornerback Kevin Johnson, a former first round draft pick of the Texans.

Johnson has received a few first team reps opposite Tre'Davious White in the early days of camp and some snaps at nickel corner. Injuries limited him to just five starts for the Texans the last two years, and he made the move to the Bills in unrestricted free agency.

MDproperty for native vegetation, but in 1996 this figure was increased to 80 percent for Legal Amazonia forest properties, causing fury among agricultural producers and agribusiness lobbying groups.

The latest amendments, made in 2012 as part of the Native Vegetation Protection Law (NVPL), commonly referred to as the New Forest Code (Lei 12.651), were included at the behest of Amapá, a state in the Northern part of the Brazilian Amazon. Amapá is one of the country’s smallest states, covering 142,814 square kilometers (55,141 square miles) – just 2.8 percent of Legal Amazonia, but the majority of the state is already protected in reserves and conservation units.

The New Forest Code has been embroiled in a legal battle over its constitutionality with the General Attorney’s Office (Procuradoria Geral da República), the


from the political turmoil of the Afghan parliament. But for some political observers doing the long math, there is a connection – the two events reveal some stunning hypocrisies in American foreign policy.

Here in Afghanistan, as in Iraq, the United States has dug in its military in the longest campaign in American history with at least part of its goal to help Afghanistan establish a functioning democracy.

In Egypt, however, the United States has willfully propped up the brutal, autocratic regime of Mubarak, which has lasted, so far, for nearly 30 years.

It’s hard not to feel a deep cynicism about all those Jeffersonian ideals of a shining city on a hill when the popular uprising in Egypt makes it clear that the United States has supported regimes like Mubarak’sbest in the business from the first chord to the last cymbal fade.

on users' experiences such as shame, stigma and eligibility criteria in high-income countries \[[@B20-ijerph-15-01249],[@B27-ijerph-15-01249]\]. Salamon's theory of voluntary failure was developed in 1987 to explain the effectiveness of the voluntary response to issues such as food insecurity \[[@B28-ijerph-15-01249]\]. His theory described market failure, voluntary failure, and third-party government failure in delivering effective welfare-government relationships in the United States. The CFS NP voluntary response in Australia has arisen as a result of both a market and a third-party government failure in delivering the "collective good" of providing a welfare safety net to prevent food insecurity. The Commonwealth Department of Social Services acknowledges the existence of Emergency Relief as "services delivered by community organisations".

Salamon's four types of voluntary failure include (i) philanthropic insufficiency, the "inability to generate resources on apolicies, and food service operations.

A research advisory group comprising the research team and five representatives from key organisations working with homelessness, social disadvantage and relief services identified the CFS organisations located in or serving inner-city Perth. They provided initial contact details which were confirmed via telephone or web search. A nomenclature for the types of food service models and their inter-relationships was agreed, for example IS and DS.

Two semi-structured interview schedules were developed for the IS and DS. The assessment of organisational capacity was guided by the approach used to improve nutrition for vulnerable groups, children in childcare in Australia \[[@B31-ijerph-15-01249]\] and food bank users in the United States \[[@B15-ijerph-15-01249]\]. The instrument was adapted from the Research Tools for Use in Studying Nutrition Policies and Practices in the


food acquisition, food handling and nutrition policy and training and volunteer support is needed to build the capacity of the sector. The findings suggest a CFS at breaking point and highlight the urgent need for debate and investigation of other models to better address food insecurity.

PSI Dolare called two panchas and prepared panchanama of the said bag. The bag was opened in presence of panchas. The bag was lying at a distance of 20 to 25 ft. from Gorewada Ring Road to Katol Naka Chowk. The spot was surrounded by jungle. After opening the bag it was noticed that the dead body was of a male person aged about 30 to 32 years. His clothes were stained with blood. The legs of the said person were tied to his neck with a cotton string. Due to the hair-style, the police party was of the opinion that the body must be of a Sikh The clothes were checked. One Cell phone was found in the pocket of the pant. PSI Dolare then dialed


Company owned by one Kukku Marwa. The deceased used to leave for his work place at about 10 to 10.15 in the morning and used to return to the house at 9.30 p.m. It was also stated in the First Information Report that the deceased was handicapped person and therefore, he used to use one Moped having four wheels, bearing registration No. MH-31 DJ-2299. Deceased was having two Cell phones, one of Nokia Co. having Sim No. 9823317371 and another of Samsung Co. having Sim No. 9370505020. The First Information Report further states that initially the family used to reside at Plot No. 290, Chalks Colony which falls within the jurisdiction of Jaripatka Police Station. After construction of a new house at Lashkaribag, the family shifted there. TheFirst Information Report further states that the house at Chalks Colony was rented out by the father of the first informant and the deceased, to a person known as 'Kake'.

The First Information Report further states that on 23rd of August, 2011, since till 9.30 p.m. Goldi, the deceased, failed to return to the house therefore the first informant, his father and some of his friends gave a phone call on mobile of Goldi. The mobile of Goldi of Nokia Co. make was switched off, whereas, though the ring was going on the Cell phone of Samsung Co. make, there was no response to the calls. Therefore, the first informant, his father, relatives and friends started making search of Goldi. When they came to the Chalks Colony, they noticed


four-wheeler scooter of the deceased. Therefore, enquiry was made. They also went towards their house which was rented out to Kake. It was close from inside. Inspite of call being given, nobody stepped out of the house. Till 4 O'clock in the morning, the search was going on. On 24th of August, 2011 at 6 O'clock the first informant's father had been to the house of his tenant to make enquiry in respect of the deceased. That time Kake informed that deceased had been to him yesterday at 8 O'clock, tea was offered to him, however, he left on his Scooter.

The First Information Report further states that on 24th of August, 2011 a phone call was received from Gittikhadan Police Station informing that a dead body having onemobile in which a phone number of the mother of the first informant was there and therefore, on the said number, the call was made from the Gittikhadan Police Station. Therefore, the first informant, his father and other relatives reached to the spot and found that the dead body was of his brother. With this, the First Information Report was lodged.

(F) On being entrusted with the investigation, Police Inspector Bahadure (PW 18) got a lead that last location of the vehicle of the deceased was at Chalks Colony. Therefore, he went to Chalks Colony. He recorded statements of some witnesses. After recording the statement of witnesses it was transpired that they had seen the appellant on 23rd of August, 2011 at about 9 p.m. carrying a bundle (Gathode)


on the foot panel of his vehicle. After recording the statement of the witnesses in the Police Station, Police Inspector Bahadure again went to Chalks Colony. He called two panchas. He told those witnesses that he is suspecting the appellant and therefore, he intends to take search of his house in their presence. Those panch witnesses are Vinod Patel and Soloman Chandekar (PW 7). The appellant was standing in front of his house. Police Inspector Bahadure informed him that he wishes to take search of his house and the reason for the search. Police Inspector Bahadure also offered the appellant that whether he wishes to take the personal search of Police Party and the panchas, to which the appellant declined. The appellant also agreed that his house canbe searched and therefore Police Inspector Bahadure proceeded to take search of the house of the appellant. The house is having courtyard with a compound wall. When the police party along with panch entered in the drawing room of the house, they noticed stains like blood on the wall beside the door at the distance of about one foot from the ground. Police Inspector took scrap of the stains as a sample on a paper. He also collected plain sample from the said wall. Then searching party went inside the another room. It was a bed room. Nothing objectionable was noticed there. When they entered the third room, which was a hall, admeasuring 13 x 15 sq.ft., they noticed a Diwan in the south-east corner having foam mattress


which was covered with a bed sheet. Blood stains were noticed on the bed sheet. On the mattress also blood stains were noticed. Police Inspector Bahadure then cut the portion of the mattress for sample over which the stains like blood were found. Also, he cut the portion of said mattress for sample, having no blood stains. Thereafter, in Kitchen nothing was noticed objectionable. Then, the searching party went to the washing place. Four pieces of two clothes were noticed on the iron grill which were used for mopping. Those clothes were stained with blood. The same were seized. The house was having compound on back side also. One dustbin was found containing three empty bottles of liquor. Those bottles were also seized. The Investigating Officer found onepolice custody made a disclosure statement and agreed to show the vehicle Mahindra Rodio. Accordingly, his statement was recorded in presence of panchas. The admissible portion is at Exh. 71. Consequent thereto, the Investigating Officer, panchas and the other police staff proceeded to the spot in a police Jeep as per the direction of the appellant. The appellant suggested the driver of the jeep to take the Jeep via Gittikhadan Chowk, Borgaon Chowk, Gorewada Ring Road towards Katol Naka Chowk. While the jeep was proceeding towards Katol Naka Chowk along Gorewada Ring Road, appellant asked the driver of the Jeep to stop the vehicle near the board over which "Khabardar" was written. All inmates of the Jeep were got down. Appellant proceeded towards Nala. He was followed by
