to lead east coast sales, was also installed over a female senior sales employee, who had been at the company for four years before she left in July. Before he started full time in early June, Flanagan was brought in as a consultant just after Spanfeller took over G/O Media. Sources say he was retained to consult on sales and how the department could work more directly with clients, which the now-former employee says was her job. Shortly after the sale in April, she said, she met briefly with Spanfeller and explained to him her role and responsibilities in the company, which was primarily to work directly with clients to secure partnerships, instead of going through media ad agencies. She said Spanfeller didn’t have many questions for her,the company, his offer came with strings attached. According to multiple sources familiar with the situation, in April Spanfeller offered the job of head of talent to Katie Pontius, who until recently was the chief of staff for The Onion, Inc. The job, however, came with a condition, they said: Pontius’s first order of business would be to fire newsroom editorial director Susie Banikarim. Multiple sources say Pontius declined to go along with the plan, angering Spanfeller. (Pontius declined to comment.)

Spanfeller described the situation differently. “I hired Katie who accepted the job,” he wrote. “The next day she refused to join me in communicating our plans to Susie. I found this troubling but was okay with it given the circumstances. Katie then refused to assume the HR lead


other media companies.”

According to sources familiar with the situation, the tech team was instructed by Knight, who was directed by Spanfeller, to push out the survey without consent from anyone in editorial. Spanfeller said he asked for the survey; Rogers said he wrote it; and editorial director Paul Maidment said he didn’t approve it, but he told Deadspin editor-in-chief Megan Greenwell that he did not attempt to stop it from running on the site when he was filled in shortly before it was scheduled to go up.

DONVAN: Every week, political junkie Ken Rudin joins us here in Studio 3A to recap the week in politics. This week, some House Democrats crossed the aisle to vote in favor of contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder. The vote went through, but the Department of Justice declined to prosecute. Nevertheless, John Boehner says to expect a civil suit on the issue.

The state House Ethics Committee cleared South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley of ethics violations charges related to her lobbying activities when she was a state representative, and both presidential campaigns respond to the Supreme Court's health care ruling. Is it a tax? Is it a penalty? And what does that mean for the race for the White House?

a reporter in New Jersey. And ultimately, look, that plays well with some voters and some people, but it may be just too volatile of a choice for Mitt Romney to - but again, Chris Christie does excite. He's not a true conservative. The weirdest thing is he's not the most conservative guy in the bunch, but he loves to torment the Democrats and labor unions, and there's a lot of Republicans that like that kind of point of view.

DONVAN: Restate our trivia question of the day.

RUDIN: The trivia question is because with Independence Day coming tomorrow, name the last member of Congress who was elected as a Democrat but also as a Republican and as an independent in separate times.

DONVAN: All right, let's see if Bryce(ph) inDubuque, Iowa, has the answer. Bryce, hi, you're on TALK OF THE NATION.

BRYCE: I'm taking a long shot here with Andrew Jackson.

RUDIN: Well, I would say no automatically because there was no Republican Party back when Andrew Jackson was alive. So in that sense alone...

RUDIN: Well, Joe Lieberman of course was elected to the Senate starting in 1988 as a Democrat, and his last time in 2006, it was as an independent, but he was never elected as a Republican, although a lot of Democrats accused him of being a Republican.

RUDIN: Well, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, the former congressman and then senator from Colorado, was first elected to the Senate as a Democrat. He switched parties, I guess right after 1994, became a Republican, but he was never elected


as an independent.

DONVAN: All right, Laurie, thanks for trying.

LAURIE: Thank you.

DONVAN: Sure, and Suzanne (ph) in Lynchburg, Virginia, hi, you're on TALK OF THE NATION. Excuse me, I made a slight error in bringing you up on the air. Suzanne, hi,

SUZANNE: Hello?

DONVAN: Hi, Suzanne, you're on TALK OF THE NATION now.

SUZANNE: Congressman Virgil Goode.

RUDIN: Well, Virgil Goode is the correct answer.

DONVAN: Ah, well done.

RUDIN: Virgil Goode was elected to Congress in 1996 and '98 as a Democrat. He was elected in 2000 as an independent, when he switched to the independent. And then in 2002, when he switched to the Republican Party, he was elected as a Republican. He was defeated for re-election in 2008.

Now the fun thing about him is he is the Constitution Party candidate foris TALK OF THE NATION. I'm John Donvan, and political junkie day comes a day early this week. Ken Rudin is with us ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. And Ken, was there a ScuttleButton winner last week?

RUDIN: There was, actually since I was not on the show last week, there were two ScuttleButton winners we need to talk about. Two weeks ago, there was a Lew Alcindor basketball card, and there was an Alan Wheat button from the Senate of Missouri. So when you combine Lew Alcindor and Alan Wheat, you have Kareem of Wheat.

(LAUGHTER)

RUDIN: Yes, yes, and anyway, Keith Dier(ph) of Orlando, Florida, was the winner on that one. And last week, there was a women's lib button, a Ronald Reagan button and a Jimmy


2010. His second two years, so far, have been better, and he's positioned himself to be very competitive for re-election.

RUDIN: Bob, two presidents I think of when I think of at the time their numbers were not so great and yet in retrospect, or at least in years, more succeeding years, a second opinion, one of course is Gerald Ford, who was an accidental president of course and was often laughed at when he was president. But when we think of him now, there's more of a sentiment that he was a good guy who meant well.

Another guy is Harry Truman, who left office, your book points it out, when he left office, he had 22 percent approval ratings and was driven out of office. He was notgoing to stand for another term. And yet presidential historians seem to rate him pretty high.

MERRY: Presidential historians rated him high from the very, very beginning. He was in the near-great category almost immediately. Here's where we get to a difference in how the voters judge these guys and how the historians judge them. Historians judge a president based on his overall record during his entire tenure, and they don't really care about what happened in his first term, what happened in his second term.

The voters, on the other hand, they have hiring and firing authority, which they take very seriously. It was handed to them by the Constitution. And they look at these guys in four-year increments. So if you look at Harry Truman's two separate terms,


the inherited term was absolutely historic. If you add - I won't take all the time, but he saved Western Europe, he moved the country from peacetime to wartime to peacetime economy.

He had percolating economic situation. It was really a masterful performance, and the voters gave him another term as a result of that. His second term was really very close to a disaster. He had a sputtering economy throughout most of those four years. He got himself into a war that he couldn't win and couldn't get out of, which is poison in electoral terms. And he had - his administration was beset by a lot of sort of petty corruption on the part of his own pals from Kansas City that he'd installed in governmental jobsmisguided and he was misled by the military. But the domestic stuff that he did was wonderful.

DONVAN: Let's let Bob Merry talk about Lyndon Johnson.

MERRY: That's a very interesting point. Johnson really poses the conundrum of a historical assessment because what happens when you have a president who had tremendous accomplishments, as Johnson clearly did, he redirected the country no question about it, who then somehow manages to get himself into a situation that ends up being his undoing, his political undoing, which is also what happened to Johnson.

I mean, he wasn't as ignominious as Richard Nixon resigning in disgrace, but it was pretty close because he was essentially told by the American people that he was ineligible for rehire. And so the question then becomes: Well, do


was adverse to him politically. I don't have really high marks. I knew George Herbert Walker Bush. I covered him. I traveled to China with him. And I thought he was a very decent and honest man, and I thought this whole wimp factor on the Newsweek cover when he was running was terrible because he was a war hero.

But I never really thought that he really understood where America was going and where he needed to take it, and I have to say that during those four years, his eight years with Reagan, I got the impression that he and many of the people around him were sort of saying, gosh, when we get this dunce out of here, we're going to really show the American peopledisaster, both in terms of foreign policy and in terms of the economy. And you know, he was not a Republican in terms of his fiscal policies.

RUDIN: Bob, I'm surprised that everybody is not calling in asking about James Knox Polk. Now, I know a lot of - the criteria is you had to have two terms for the most part. Polk was a one-termer, and you've written about him. And he's among your favorites. Explain to me why James Knox Polk.

MERRY: Well, I think James Knox Polk is clearly in the near-great category. He was a one-termer by choice. He was the only president who actually ran on a one-term promise, largely because he wanted to get the big-name Republican - I'm sorry, the big-name Democrats in


an email from another - another one on Bill Clinton. Stephen writes: I changed my evaluation of Bill Clinton as president. I was favorable during his tenure. But looking back from now, we can see that some of the seeds of the financial crisis were sown then, particularly by Bill Clinton's signing of legislation that deregulated the financial industry and led to many of the abuses that brought the economy down. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.

MERRY: I think that's a fair point. Here's what I would say about Clinton. His first two years were a disaster, and he, like Obama, had his head handed to him by the voters in 1994. What ensued, however, was really quite brilliant. He very carefully calibrated acenter-left approach to governing, and he did it very effectively, and he had six solid years as president of the United States. Now, I think he had two serious weaknesses. One, which people aren't going to be surprised at, was his lack of self-control, which brought about a really kind of smarmy scandal.

Whatever you think about what the Republicans were doing in the impeachment in Congress, and I thought it was monumentally stupid, nevertheless a lot of Americans were just not comfortable to have their president behaving quite like that. Secondly, however, and more significantly, he horded political capital. He built up a fair amount of political capital with his success over his last six years, but he didn't really expend it because he didn't want to take


Last July, Vogue ran a set of profiles of the women running for president, a package that was accompanied by a group photo. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the image was clearly intended to be iconic. The politicians, dressed in suit jackets and sheath dresses, appeared to be breaking momentarily from their busy lives and perhaps a vote for some press. Four senators—Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, and Amy Klobuchar—smiled, raising their hands for high-fives, while Rep. Tulsi Gabbard stood off to the side. (Spiritual guide and inspirational speaker Marianne Williamson’s invitation to history had noticeably been lost in the mail.) Though they were directly competing with one another, the five women “form an unlikely sisterhood,” Amy Chozick wrote, an author chosen no doubt for the significance ofelection stopped racism or the election of George W. Bush stopped people from dogging on the criminally stupid.)

Still, the logic seemed to translate to her fans: “I love her moderation!” an Iowa Klobuchar supporter told the New Yorker, explaining her vote. “And she’s a woman!” This theme that played out a few days later when a group of white women voters flipped their votes from Warren to Klobuchar, despite the two sharing little in common beyond vaginas and Senate seats. Even the New York Times underscored their bizarre group endorsement of the pair—progressive woman, moderate woman: take your pick of woman, it seemed to say— with the closing line, “May the best woman win.”

Yet barring an event bordering on constitutional crisis, our next president will not be a


Sadly, it did not end with India. More nations took an interest in Sri Lanka and sought for its territory. In 1505, the Portuguese landed in the country which led to increased interests from Europe. By 1833, the entire nation was under British rule. The colonizers attacked from Indian territory and made its way to Ceylon. In 1948, Ceylon is set free. 24 years later, Ceylon changes its name to Sri Lanka to remove all traces of Britain from their being and start anew. This resolve did not last long.

By 1983, the civil war between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers (rebels from Tamil, India) had begun. The tension had initially been raised between these two parties because of a conflict regarding Indian workers being disenfranchisedin Sri Lanka. The war lasted for 26 years with casualties amounting to 80,000 people. Sri Lanka won the battle but lost more than it had bargained for. The country had never been in a state of peace for too long since its existence. Now, it is ready to grow far and wide as a nation fully in control of itself.

Sri Lankans: Turning Strangers Into Family

Sri Lanka is home to many ethnic groups making it a diverse bunch of people. How many people in that specific bunch? About 21 million, making it quite densely populated. Majority of this number lives in poverty and settles in rural areas. All the wars have done its damage and Sri Lanka is slowly but surely getting back up on that ladder. Though


there are little means for proper living, it does not get in the way of the people’s spirit.

The population comprises of three major ethnic groups: Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim. The Sinhalese people make up of 75% of the population. The Tamils are either descendants from India that have settled in the nation ages ago or Indians that migrated to Sri Lanka during the colonization of Britain. 1% of the population is aboriginal people and residents originating from Western India.

Sri Lankans are known to be one of the nicest people on earth. They do not shy away from foreigners nor do they judge. They accept people from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds and treat them as their own. Though resentment within the border is high between the Tamils andthe Sinhalese, they understand that compassion and growth go a long way.

Culture and Religion: Sri Lanka’s Great Range of Diversity

Sri Lanka is known to be quite multiethnic. This entails that there is an intermingling of different religions at play here. They are Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. Dominantly, it is a Buddhist country. In fact, it has been said that the soul of Buddhism lives vehemently in this land. Different temples and mosques dedicated to different ways of living coexist in harmony and respect.

India has had such a big cultural and historical impact on Sri Lanka, coming through in various fields of art, literature, music, astronomy and medicine. Regardless of its affinity with India, Sri Lanka has grown to develop its own identity. The biggest example of this is


(CNN) A man's refusal to give up his seat on an overbooked United Airlines flight led to a disturbing scene Sunday that has travelers up in arms over airline policies.

The Department of Transportation said it will review the incident, in which a passenger was forcibly removed from the Louisville, Kentucky-bound United flight 3411 at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

The incident has prompted one security officer's suspension and created a publicity nightmare for United.

Several passengers recorded the incident on their phones and posted video on social media showing three Chicago Department of Aviation security officers dragging the man, who has not been identified, down the aisle by the arms and legs while other passengers shout in protest. He continued to resist after he was removed and ran back onto theairplane, face bloodied from the encounter.

"It was very traumatic," passenger Jade Kelley said. She did not witness the entire event but she said the sound of the screams still haunt her.

"It was horrible. I had trouble sleeping last night and hearing the video again gives me chills."

An 'involuntary de-boarding situation'

The incident sparked criticism of a system that allows airlines to involuntarily boot passengers from flights. United was acting within their rights and following policy. Then, the situation turned physical.

United asked passengers to give up their seats voluntarily for compensation. Four crew members needed to get on the flight in order to work another one in Louisville or else that flight would be canceled, airline spokeswoman Maddie King said.

When no one volunteered, the airline was forced into an "involuntary


de-boarding situation," airline spokesman Charlie Hobart said.

United weighs a number of factors to determine which passengers would leave the flight, such as connecting flights and how long the delay will leave the customer at an airport, Hobart said.

United employees explained the situation to the man several times, Hobart said. When he refused they followed Department of Transportation protocol and called local law enforcement to forcibly remove him from the plane.

Passenger Tyler Bridges said the request for volunteers came after everyone had boarded. It was easy to understand why no one responded -- it was Sunday night and the next flight was not until the following afternoon, he said.

Bridges said two officers tried to calmly talk the man out of his seat before a third approached him in anaggressive manner. The officer told him he had to get off the plane, and when he resisted, the officer grabbed him out of his seat and carried him out with the other officers.

The man hit his head on an armrest, Bridges said. He yelled that he was a doctor and that he was being profiled for being Chinese. The scene left everyone unsettled, including children who started crying, Bridges said.

"It was pretty shocking that it got to the level that it got to. In part that's the man's fault, when the police came on he shouldn't have resisted, he should have just left. But it was a pretty unbelievable scene with them grabbing him and pulling off," he said.

Yes, you can be 'involuntarily de-boarded'

The Renault Zoe crossed the Alps in April to become a major player there

Zoe sinks Edition

After 80 units sold in May and 45 in June, the Renault Zoe sales in Italy dropped to just 18 in July, helping the total EV sales to drop 46% regarding last month, totaling 100 units in July,Shane Jones has had to correct 20 answers to questions from the National Party after he failed to disclose meetings he had earlier this year.

Some of those were with people who have an interest in the Provincial Growth Fund.

Mr Jones, the regional economic development minister, said he took full responsibility for the muck-up which he put down to a transcription error from his outlook diary.

"I'm not from the school of thought that the staff in my office should be tossed under the bus. I as the robust, Tai Tokerau, Dalmatian, Māori politician shall take it on the chin."

National MP Paul Goldsmith uses weekly written parliamentary questions to ask Mr Jones who he meets with and what for.

He said this slip-up by the minister seriously


with the former New Zealand First MP Pita Paraone, who now has interests in an Iwi forestry project which has received a financial injection from Provincial Growth Fund.

Mr Goldsmith said that last meeting raised flags with him because Mr Jones still had not provided any proper detail about the projects.

"There's been some controversy over the money that went to Ngāti Hine. Now I'm not saying there's anything untoward in him meeting with that person, but the fact that he didn't declare that meeting initially, and later declared it after our office queried the nature of what he was releasing, raises alarm bells."

Mr Jones said he met with Mr Paraone quite regularly.

"Pita Paraone obviously is a senior identity. I'm always meeting and talking with him about the Waitangi BattalionMuseum."

The correction was made by Mr Jones' office in an email to Mr Goldsmith's office on 16 October.

Mr Jones said he has received approximately 3000 written questions from National since he became a minister, the majority of which had been answered accurately.

"This figure represents one percent, so in the bigger scheme of things it's small fry. But the moment that the office uncovered that some of the meetings had been miscast, then we let [them] know."

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern agreed the sheer volume of written questions from the opposition could impact accuracy of answers.

Mr Jones' error follows a diarying mishap by the former minister Clare Curran, who was sacked from Cabinet for not properly declaring meetings she had with senior figures related to her portfolios.

Earlier this year she

In some instances the problem of a reduction in size of the bore has been overcome by inserting in the bearing a mandrel of appropriate diameter during the operation of press fitting the bearing into the bearing support member. With the mandrel so located in the bore of the bearing member, the dimensions of the bore cannot be changed during the press fit operation because of the presence of the mandrel.

The possibility to opt-out is said to "preserve freedom of choice" (p. 1182). Thaler and Sunstein published Nudge, a book-length defense of this political doctrine, in 2008 (new edition 2009).

Libertarian paternalism is similar to asymmetric paternalism, which refers to policies designed to help people who behave irrationally and so are not advancing their own interests, while interfering only minimally with people who behave rationally.  Such policies are also asymmetric in the sense that they should be acceptable both to those who believe that people behave rationally and to those who believe that people often behave irrationally.

prominent brown-colored belt just south of the equator, as well as similar fading and darkening of the North Equatorial Belt (NEB), a band just north of the equator. In 2011 the northern belt grew white over a wider extent than it had been in over a century; in 2012, it began to darken again.

Using the Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (COMICS) on the 8.2 meter Subaru Telescope and mid- and near-infrared instruments on NASA’s 3 meter Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), both atop Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaii, the researchers matched up their infrared observations of changes in cloud thickness of several of Jupiter’s bands with the changes in their brightness and color. Their data revealed more detailed information about the features they had previously observed. Althoughthe deeper cloud decks of the North Equatorial Belt thickened simultaneously, they did not thicken and clear up like those in the South Equatorial Belt; there was only a partial thickening of the upper cloud deck of the northern belt. The recent infrared data also resolved distinct features called “brown barges”, brown, elongated features in the newly whitened area of the usually dark North Equatorial Belt, which are more cloud-free regions characterized by downwelling, dry air. Finally, a series of blue-gray features, which appear to be the clearest and driest regions on Jupiter, show up as apparent hotspots in the infrared view. The infrared observations reveal radiation emerging from a very deep layer of Jupiter’s atmosphere. Although the hotspots disappeared from 2010 to 2011, they reappeared in June

A 7-year-old girl was raped allegedly by a neighbour in Shahdara’s Seemapuri area on Monday evening. The accused has been arrested, police said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Meghna Yadav said that the victim was playing outside her house when the accused lured her into coming with him to a secluded place. He allegedly raped her and left her there.

The girl was found bleeding when a relative spotted her and brought her back home. She was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital where she is undergoing treatment and is said to be stable.

But there was absolutely nothing funny about “Downfall” – or, for that matter, its vicious inspiration. And despite the popularity of Mel Brooks’ “The Producers,” few people in the post-Holocaust era displayed the temerity of turning Hitler into a figure of fun.

Wood Island Life Saving Station

Group fights to save Wood Island station

A small nonprofit is hoping to save the Wood Island Life Saving Station, shown above and below, in Portsmouth Harbor from demolition.courtesy

KITTERY, Maine - A small island in Portsmouth Harbor and the old life-saving station that adorns it are generating a lot of interest from near and far as the Kittery Town Council prepares to decide its fate.

From 1908 through the 1960s, Wood Island was home to a life-saving station, the predecessors to the United States Coast Guard, and although the building has undergone some changes since it was first built, Kittery residents have become used to seeing the icon from their windows, forts and roadways, and so have visitors.

But the old station is decrepit, falling apart andfull of asbestos.

In 1972, it was turned over to the town of Kittery from the National Parks Service with a stipulation that it remain free and open to the public.

The deed also stipulates that it cannot be sold or transferred to anyone other than another government entity.

But a small nonprofit group in Kittery thinks it is possible, and is asking voters as well as the parks service if they will approve transferring the island to them.

The Wood Island Life Saving Station Association (WILSSA) was created about two years ago by longtime summer resident Sam Reid.

On June 24, the council agreed to schedule a public hearing for July 8 at 7 p.m. to address two petitions submitted by Reid.

Both were signed by more than 850 Kittery residents.

But a newly


to taxpayers of about $250,000.

"When the parks service presented the property to the town and the agreement was signed, it never had anything to do with the building. It was all about the property and making sure it is safe and free to public access," Kittery Town Council chairman George Dow said.

Pelletier said he has been trying to negotiate with Reid and WILSSA to come up with an agreement that is amenable to everyone.

"And that is to restore the seascape of Wood Island against the backdrop of Pepperell Cove. People want to look out the window, out the side of their boat, or from Portsmouth, and see this profile on the Atlantic coast," Pelletier said.

Under his plan, WILSSA could wrap the building against the elements, lead a Brownfieldsgrant application to deal with the asbestos, and restore the exterior of the building to look like it always has.

WILSSA has received a cost estimate of about $350,000 to restore the exterior of the building.

The rest of Pelletier's plan would allow WILSSA to bring the interior of the building to a structurally sound condition, allow them to replace the seawall, and have the town appropriate a sum of money to the capital improvement plan to provide for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the exterior of the building for years to come.

"I think it's a winning plan, but I haven't yet convinced WILSSA to go along with that," Pelletier said.

Nor has he gotten the approval of the town council, Reid said.

The council does not meet again until July


8, the night the public hearing is scheduled.

WILSSA has asked the council to move the hearing to another room in expectation of a large crowd.

People from as far as Keene, like Steve Lindsey, have turned out at previous hearings to show support for saving the station.

Lindsey, a former member of the Coast Guard, said he remembers when they tore down the old life-saving station at North Hampton in 1973, and does not want to see Wood Island suffer the same fate.issued by Elev8 Chicago found that a group of community schools in Chicago had increased students’ sense of belonging, increased parental support, increased attendance rates, increased high school graduation rates, assisted in managing health and mental health problems and reduced the number of disciplinary incidents.

Future Perspectives By Julia Ebner Julia Ebner is a Junior Researcher at the European Institute for Asian Studies

So she must have been studying in China 2012-2014, or even earlier, when she was 20-22 years old, or younger.

As a matter of interest, here’s a history of her school from the Beijing University info:

In 1960, the Department of Political Science was set up in Peking University. Three years later, the Departmentwas renamed the Department of International Politics. From 1996 to 1998, the Department of International Politics, the Institute of International Relations and the Institute of Afro Asian Studies merged successively, and SIS was the final product of this merging process.

From the VICE interview, translation by Egri:

Q: How did you get this job? A: In my master’s thesis in international history I wrote about women as suicide attackers. For it, I interviewed my now-boss. He is one of the most renowned experts in the field of Islamic terrorism and extremism. The interview was very fascinating, which is why I applied to the think tank.

This obviously refers to the master’s earned in London. Her “now-boss” is presumably Maajid Nawaz of the Quilliam Foundation.

Her graduate studies were focused on “political Islam,


warfare was the use of poisoned arrows which, according to the book Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World, were tainted with a mixture of viper venom, viper corpses, human blood, and shit. The arrows, if they wounded a person, could cause gangrene and tetanus (from the blood and shit), as well as other infections from the vipers. "Even people who are not wounded by the poison projectiles suffer from their terrible odor," noted Strabo, the Greek geographer.

A little while later, during the middle ages, the feces of bubonic plague victims was flung over castle walls with catapults in an effort to infect those inside.

In 12th century China, a slightly more advanced version of the shit catapult was used, whichStephen Turnbull writes about in his snappily title book Siege Weapons of the Far East (1): AD 612 - 1300. The weapon, which the author calls an "excrement trebuchet bomb" was a type of explosive device made from hemp string and filled with gunpowder, human shit, and poison, which was lit with a hot poker, before being flung at the enemy.

This tradition, of people who lack options using their shit as a substance to humiliate and infect, has continued through to today. Last year, the LA Times reported that there has been a fivefold increase in prisoners at the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail flinging their shit and other bodily fluids at officers. "Inmates sometimes mix the waste with fruit jelly so there's a better chance that it


will stick to their target," The paper wrote. "Tapatio hot sauce packs a sting. Milk cartons are used as containers, and sometimes as launchers to force the substance out through a narrow crack."

EARLY 1940S, PARIS, MILITARY SHIT SPRAY

Who Me was a top secret weapon developed by the Office of Strategic Services (a now defunct US intelligence agency) during the Second World War.

Though the weapon didn't actually contain any feces, Who Me was heavily inspired by human poo, so I am including it here. The actual weapon was a foul-smelling chemical that was sent to members of the French Resistance in small atomizers.

The aim of the device was to spray it on German officers in order to humiliate them in front of their colleagues by making them smell asthough they are unable to control their bowels. "Imagine the worst garbage dumpster left in the street for a long time in the middle of the hottest summer ever-and that gives you a taste of the Who Me quality," Pam Dalton, a cognitive psychologist told New Scientist in 2001.

Who Me ultimately proved to be unsuccessful, as it was, obviously, impossible to deploy a chemical that foul-smelling without also tainting everything around it with its scent, including the person who sprayed it.

It's not entirely clear if the weapon was ever actually used in combat. But if it was, I would imagine its victims received the minor annoyance of their Nazi lives.

1950S, NORTHERN CANADA, THE INUIT SHIT KNIFE

There is, as far as I can see, only one documented case of


someone using a frozen shit knife like the one the commenter hoped to stab me to death with.

Wade Davis, an anthropologist and ethnographic researcher from Vancouver, Canada, has several times told the story of an Inuit elder who fashioned his shit into a knife in order to escape the Canadian government.

Wades says the story was told to him by a family he met while in Arctic Bay, an Inuit community in Northern Canada.

Back in the 50s, the Canadian government forced Inuit people into settlement camps in the high arctic area. The Arctic Bay family claimed that their grandfather had not wanted to be relocated, and had decided to defy the government's orders and stay.

The family, fearful of the repercussions the grandfather might face if he refused to cooperatewith the resettlement plan, took away the man's tools and equipment before leaving him behind in his igloo with nothing but two dogs. They did this, the story goes, in the hopes that the man would feel he had no choice but to join them up north.

"You must understand," Wade explained in a 2007 Ted Talk, "the Inuits did not fear the cold, they took advantage of it."

"He simply slipped outside, pulled down his seal skin trouser, and defecated into his hand. And as the feces began to freeze, he shaped it into the form of a blade," Wade added.

Once the shit knife was sufficiently set, the man is said to have butchered a dog with it. He then, according to the TV series Canada: A People's History,


skinned the dog, used its skin to make a coat, its rib cage to make a sled, and fashioned a harness out of its guts.

After feeding himself and the living dog some of the dead dog's meat, the man attached the gut-harness to the other dog, holstered the poop-sword in his belt, and sledded off into the night.

1960S, VIETNAM, PUNJI STICKS

During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong made use of a simple but effective (and gross) weapon known as punji sticks.

The punjis were made by sharpening bamboo sticks, which would then be dipped in human shit (or sometimes poison from plants or animals.) The caca-encrusted spears would be placed in the ground and concealed with foliage or under a trapdoor, and left for the enemy to fall on. The sticks didn't generally kill the people that fell on them, but they were, I would assume, not the funnest thing in the world to be stabbed with.

2009, RUSSIA, SHIT CANNON

Aleksandr Georgievich Semenov, a Russian inventor with approximately 200 patents to his name, filed a patent in 2009 that was titled "Method of Biowaste Removal From Isolated Dwelling Compartment."

Which, in non-patent-title-terms, is a device that would allow tanks to fire human shit.

The idea is that, when a soldier in a tank needs to shit, they would do it into a special type of shell casing which contains enough room for their poo, as well as an explosive charge. They would then place the shell into the tank's gun and


fire it at the enemy, coating them in said poo.

This is handy for two reasons: Firstly, it would get rid of human waste from the tank, which is an enclosed space that soldiers are often forced to be in for long periods of time. Secondly, it would coat the enemy and their surrounding environment in poop, something the inventor described to the Guardian as "additional military-psychological and military-political effects."

2014, ARIZONA, SHOOTING THE SHIT

Last year, 65-year-old former nurse Rosemary Vogel of Chandler, Arizona, was charged with first degree attempted murder after an incident in which she injected fecal matter into her husband.

Her husband, Philip, was recovering from heart surgery at Chandler Regional Hospital, when nurses heard an alarm from his IV pump, indicating there wasa problem with it. When they entered the room, the nurses found Rosemary fiddling with Philip's IV line. Upon inspection, they found a brown substance in the line. After being tested at the hospital, the brown substance was found to be poop.

When Rosemary appeared in court, her husband came along to defend her. "There was some psychological break that morning," he testified. "It was totally out of character." Rosemary, who claimed she didn't remember the incident, plead guilty.

The judge, saying he believed Rosemary had suffered a mental break that day, took sympathy on her, and sentenced her to weekends in jail for one year.

This is not the first time someone has been accused of injecting feces into an IV. In 2005, Stephanie McMullen of Wilmington, Delaware (who, weirdly,


is also a registered nurse like Rosemary) was accused of doing it to her two-year-old son. And in the mid-90s, Kathy Bush received national attention for intentionally making her daughter sick by putting crap in her IV. Then, last year, a woman in West Virginia was allegedly caught on camera doing the same thing to her nine-year-old.

There have also been other attempts in recent years to use feces as a poison that weren't done intravenously. In the mid 1980s, an outbreak of an intestinal parasite in Edinburgh was traced to someone intentionally putting infected shit in an apartment building's water tank. And in 2010, a teen in California poisoned her mother by putting dog feces and insecticide into her food. The mother survived.

watched him draw in and exhale short, steady breaths and listened to the constant blip-beep blip-beep blip-beep of the heart monitor, the only sign that Jeff was still alive.

He tried to remember happier times when their lives didn’t involve daily doctor’s appointments, harsh rounds of chemotherapy, and the many other experimental treatments he’d selfishly forced Jeff to endure. He tried to remember back to when Jeff was a healthy and strikingly handsome young architect with a client list envied by every other architect in his firm. A time when his own thriving practice, now sold, his research, and Jeff were all he needed in this world. They were happy and had the rest of their lives to look forward to.

Then that dreadful day came, with the news ofstage four colon cancer. Their entire world was turned upside down in one day. After two years of fighting and enduring one experimental treatment after another, Jeff made the decision to stop everything. Brad had tried unsuccessfully to convince Jeff to keep fighting, but Jeff had had enough. Brad knew that the side effects of the treatments were probably worse than the effects of the cancer, at least early on, but he just thought that if they kept trying, something was bound to work. In the end, however, it was Jeff’s life and his decision, and like it or not, Brad had to accept it.

Everyone at the hospital knew Dr. Mitch and gave them as much privacy as Jeff’s medical needs would allow, which had been a blessing


over the last couple of months. Before Jeff slipped into the coma, they’d had long hours just to be together and enjoy the time Jeff had left. Although Brad did his best to hide his breaking heart and grief, he knew Jeff was brutally aware of what he was going through. Jeff had once told him that if their positions were reversed, he couldn’t imagine how he would cope. Jeff had done the best he could to prepare and calm Brad, and to assure him that he was at peace with his decision. Jeff had also made him promise to go on with his life, to eventually accept the love and happiness that would surely come his way if he was open to it. He reluctantly promised, asbody, events of their fifteen years together started to flash before his eyes. The smile on Jeff’s face when they moved into their first home together, that he had designed. How every Christmas morning Jeff made them wear goofy flannel pajamas and sit cross-legged around their Christmas tree, opening gifts. How funny Jeff looked at their Halloween party two years ago when he was in a wheelchair and insisted they dress up as Blanche and Baby Jane Hudson from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? How hot he looked in his scuba gear on their last diving trip to Bermuda. How happy and relaxed he was when they were on their yearly trip to Alaska. They’d had such a full, wonderful life, until …. They both thought they


had a lifetime together, but fate had other plans. So here they were, Jeff unconsciously fighting for every breath and Brad not knowing which breath would be the last. God,how did it all come down to this and how will I ever survive?

Sensing that the end was near, Brad removed his shoes, climbed into the bed, slid his arm under Jeff’s neck, and held him close. For the first time since the diagnosis, his tears fell freely. Then the rise and fall of Jeff’s chest stopped, and the heart machine indicated a long, flat beep. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmly reached over and turned off the heart machine. Stone-cold silence.

With Jeff still in his arms, he gently kissed him on the lips andcoffin holding the other half of his empty existence.

When the services were over and he’d forced his friends to go home, he was finally alone in the house he and Jeff had lived and loved in. He looked around and immediately knew he couldn’t stay in this house any longer, at least not right now. Everywhere he turned, something reminded him of his love and his loss.

He spent the next three hours packing his clothes, and he placed four suitcases at the front door. He wanted to take something to remember Jeff, but what? He took one last look around and decided to take the picture of him and Jeff on one of their many vacations to Hiline Lake in the Alaskan mountains. They both loved the wilderness


his life in Seattle behind. Traveling to the Alaskan mountains where he and Jeff often vacationed, Brad reconnects with Mac Cleary, the ruggedly handsome and very straight float plane pilot who had flown he and Jeff to Hiline Lake many times. Brad and Mac form an unlikely friendship and buy an old log cabin together. As the begin to bring the old cabin back to life, Mac watches Brad come back to life as well, stirring emotions in him he’s never felt for a man before.

When fear, confusion, and a near tragedy threaten to force the two men apart, they’ll face some tough questions. Can Brad let go of Jeff and the guilt he feels about beginning to care for another man? And can Mac deal with his2014 SEC football awards announced

By falling down a rabbit hole, Alice experiences unusual adventures with a variety of nonsensical characters.

In Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, a very real little girl named Alice follows a very remarkable rabbit and experiences one of the strangest adventures, and meets some of the oddest and best-loved characters in all literature: the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and the White Rabbit, each one more interesting and more entertaining than the last. It is a world where everything impossible effortlessly becomes possible, and everything real, unreal. In the hands of Lewis Carroll, the heights of adventure are limited only by the reach of imagination.

The custody complaint further acknowledged that the child was born during the marriage of Kerri and Curtis Anderson and that Curtis Anderson was named as Gabriel's father on his birth certificate.

Chrissy Teigen Just Shared the First Details About Her Baby Boy

Chrissy Teigen gave birth earlier this week, and now she's offering the first update on her baby boy. It turns out that he and her first child, daughter Luna, look alike.

Responding to inquiring minds asking about the similarities between the two children, Teigen wrote on Twitter, "Same nose! He is a few weeks early so he’s litttttttle and makes the teeniest noises. We are in love." Most people responded with either some joke about if the unnamed baby will get the moniker "Sol" (get it, as opposed to Luna?) or with disbelief that the child could have been born early when it seemed like Teigen was pregnant for years.

Which is something Teigen herself admitted. A little more thanLiposarcoma of the buccal mucosa.

The present report is a general assessment of the level of nutrient and toxic heavy metals as an impact of "chemicalized" cultivation practices for decades in banana fields in the three south Indian states, Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamilnadu. The major objective was to critically analyze the status of metallic content in green revolution fields, where chemical fertilizers or plant protective chemicals remain the major source of heavy metal contaminants. Since soil series being a soil taxonomic category that includes slightly variant soils of similar origin and common parent materials, the 286 field samples of the broad south Indian region were further grouped into composite samples representing 47 different soil series for limiting the sample analysis.

The 19-year-old has a total of nine goals and seven assists in all competitions this season.After three rigorous weeks of conducting the National Rhino Census in Nepal, new data on the population of greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) have been formally released.

According to the census, there are 534 rhinos in Nepal, marking an increase of 99 rhinos from the 435 recorded in the last census in 2008; 503 were recorded in Chitwan National Park (an increase of 95 from 2008 data), 24 in Bardia National Park (an increase of 2 from 2008 data) and 7 in Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve (an increase of 2 from 2008 data). These numbers reflect the success of conservation efforts for this species and are a result of improved rhino protection measures and management of habitat.

The rhino counting was conducted simultaneously in Chitwan National Park, Bardia National Park and


Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve of Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape, and was a combined effort of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation of the Government of Nepal, WWF Nepal and the National Trust for Nature Conservation. WWF provided technical as well as financial support for the National Rhino Census.

"This is a fine example of working together where all conservation partners and local communities are contributing to the conservation efforts of the Government of Nepal," said Krishna Prasad Acharya, Director General of Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation. "Support received from WWF Nepal is appreciable and we are hopeful that this support will continue in the coming years with more vigor."

"The positive result of the national rhino census 2011 is an indication of the successful conservation efforts ofthe Government of Nepal in partnership with conservation partners and WWF Nepal is very pleased to see our investment being paid off," says Anil Manandhar, Country Representative of WWF Nepal. "Even though the current census shows the rise in rhino number we cannot be complacent and therefore continuous efforts from all sectors is essential to protect endangered species like rhino and their habitat."

"We are much encouraged that increased WWF support to the anti-poaching efforts of Government of Nepal has actually resulted in an increase in the Rhino population within three years," says Dr. Christy Williams, WWF's Asian Rhino and Elephant Action Strategy coordinator.

We had a lot of fun.SHAFAQNA – Atlas Obscura : Among the oldest structures in Madrid, these Moorish walls once guarded the medieval city of Mayrit.

The remains of the Muslim Walls of Madrid (Muralla Islamica de Madrid) are among the oldest structures in the city. The ruins date back to the 9th century, when Muslims controlled the Iberian peninsula.

King Emir Muhammad I, the ruler of Cordoba at that time, ordered the walls built to fortify the Muslim citadel in the medieval city of Mayrit, as Madrid was then called. What remains of the old walls can be found today in his namesake park, Parque de Emir Mohamed. The former site of the old citadel is now home to the Royal Palace (Palacio Real).

The limestone and red brick construction of the walls, typical of


Moorish architecture, is immediately recognizable in the ruins. Although a part of the structure has been lost to the construction of an apartment block, some sections were preserved after the site was declared a National Monument in 1954.

A fairly large portion of the ancient structure is still visible, giving a glimpse into the Muslim roots of Madrid, centuries before it became the capital of Spain.

Know Before You Go

As the IAAF struggles to deal with its drug and corruption scandals, the environment is primed for a new model. From my reading of how other sports transformed into a fully professional status separate from, yet supportive of, their amateur side, it was through their events establishing a new protocol.

Events are the spine of the sport, the linking elements with the sponsorship, the civic connections, the roots – and at present, the integrity – to pull it all together. Athletes come and go too quickly to be the linking element; they flow through the event architecture.

The Samuel's Gorge Story

Samuel's Gorge is a mosaic of dreams, with a principal philosophy of people and place.

Samuel's Gorge was established by winemaker Justin McNamee in 2003. Housed in an 1853 built farm shed, the winery and cellar door sits atop a ridge. Our winery overlooks the spectacular Onkaparinga River National Park to the North, and to the South, the ocean.

The Samuel's Gorge label is an impression of the rugged landscape that is viewed from the winery; look closer and see our storyboard within the tiles. At Samuel's Gorge we focus on five key varietals; Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Graciano and Tempranillo.

The wines of Samuel's Gorge are crafted by hand and reflect the landscape in which we work. We reference history for texture, complexity and harmony. We engage


patient techniques, utilising indigenous yeast, ensuring our ferments are long and slow. Our winery is under the cover of a lean to and at night a ceiling of stars. Visitors to Samuel's Gorge are welcome to see our process during harvest, in late summer.

Driven by aromatics, texture, silkiness and intrigue our wines are great to drink now and yet have structural support and intensity that ensures they cellar well. Samuel's Gorge wines reflect the unique vintage conditions and represent the personality and the imagination of the makers.

Justin McNamee

Wine Maker

After spending time with wineries in the Yarra Valley, Central Victoria and overseas, Justin arrived in McLaren Vale in 1996, to join the wine team at Tatachilla.

His intention was to get a taste of the Vale before continuing his winein rich winemaking history. Here he learnt the importance of cultural influences on wine. Characters - food - festival.

On returning home Riley spent several years in the Barossa, before changing postings to follow his love of all things Grenache ... and Port Willunga.

"Samuel's Gorge is a place categorised by its creativity. An environment that prides itself on pushing boundaries. It's our aim to craft wines of aromatic intrigue, texture and most importantly pleasure."


The 92-year-old politician, once known for his autocratic ways, becomes the world’s oldest prime minister.

Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad claimed election victory for the opposition coalition in a stunning comeback to politics 15 years after his retirement.

At 92, Mahathir now becomes the world’s oldest prime minister after he is sworn in again on Thursday.

Mahathir served as Malaysia‘s prime minister for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, overseeing the transformation of the country from an economic backwater to one of Asia’s leading economies.

He is a medical doctor by profession.

He is known as the father of Malaysia’s modernisation, and he steered the country through the Asian crisis of 1998, turning it into a so-called “economic tiger”.

As prime minister, he also presented himself as the spokesperson of the Muslim worldfollowing the September 11 attacks in the United States, and he supported the US-led “war against terrorism”.

Mahathir broke away from the ruling party United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in 2016 to join the opposition alliance.

He was determined to depose his former political protege Najib Razak, who had been prime minister since 2009 and sought a third term in office.

Najib was under pressure after being accused of fraud in a multi-billion dollar state fund. He has denied the allegations.

‘Going to the dogs’

In an interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hassan in 2016, Mahathir said he decided to turn against Najib because he had “gone off track”.

“He has done a lot of things, which are actually wrong. And as a result, he has put the country in a very bad position,


accused him of political “opportunism”.

Now that Mahathir is in the opposition, the tables turned against him.

Just days before the election, Malaysian officials launched an investigation against him over concerns he may have breached a new anti-fake news law.

On April 27, he had intended to travel to Langkawi – some 30km northwest of the mainland – to file his candidacy for prime minister.

Prior to take-off, however, the plane’s pilot discovered some damage to the aircraft, which resulted in the flight being cancelled. Mahathir called it “sabotage”.

A subsequent government-ordered investigation into the incident, carried out by Malaysia’s Civil Aviation Authority, found no indication of sabotage, instead concluding the aircraft had been unable to fly because of a minor fault in one of its wheels.

After covering the solder paste film in the opening, the solder paste film is melted in order to take advantage of the phenomenon of the solder gathering towards and to be collected at each contact pad, and as such the solder patterns are formed on the contact pads having the micro pitches.
However, when the solder patterns are formed by the aforementioned technique, a problem lies in that the volume of each of the solder patterns formed on the contact pads that are arranged on the outermost part of the substrate is different from the volume of each of the solder patterns formed on

Nissan Navara continues as one of the most popular pick-up truck in Europe. In the two years since it won the International Pickup Award 2016, more than 50,000 of the all-new Navara have been sold. Also due to the fact that Europeans are more and more in love with big cars.

Success has come right across Western Europe: in 2017 YTD (up to and including September) the Navara is the best-selling Asian pickup in the three key markets of UK, Germany and Sweden. In the UK, Navara market share is up from 11.8% to 22.0% since 2015.

Over the same period the Navara’s share of the one-tonne pickup segment has also increased significantly, rising from 11% in 2015 to 17% in 2017. That’s despite several new high-profile competitors.Jacobus Cilliers

Prescription medicines found in Colorado movie gunman's home

By Keith Coffman

CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 21 (Reuters) - Detectives who searched the booby-trapped apartment of Colorado movie massacre gunman James Holmes found medicines prescribed by his school psychiatrist as well as detailed financial records, the jury in his murder trial heard on Thursday.

Holmes, 27, could face the death penalty if convicted of killing 12 people and wounding 70 others inside a packed midnight premiere of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" at a Denver-area multiplex in July 2012.

The former neuroscience graduate student has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and explosives charges.

Jurors on Thursday heard how police cataloged the contents of the apartment after bomb disposal experts neutralized multiple improvised bombsHolmes had rigged up.

Defense lawyers objected to financial and university documents found in a backpack and bedroom drawer being introduced as evidence, arguing they were unnecessary because the defense does not contest that Holmes lived there.

But Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos Samour sided with the prosecution, which said the meticulous way in which the records were kept showed the defendant's state of mind.

"Items a person chooses to keep in their apartment and surround themselves with demonstrate the mental state of the person ... especially things like record keeping," prosecutor Rich Orman told the court.

A police detective also showed photographs of orange containers of medicines prescribed for Holmes by a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado.

Before the rampage, Holmes had dropped out of a doctoral program at the university's


Anschutz Medical Campus.

The drugs included the antidepressant Sertraline, also known as Zoloft, and Clonazepam, used to treat anxiety and panic attacks.

Holmes' lawyers say he suffers from schizophrenia and was not in control of his actions when he plotted and carried out the attack.

Prosecutors say he did it because he had lost his girlfriend and career, and had a "longstanding hatred of mankind." (Full coverage: )

The prosecution is mixing dry accounts from crime scene technicians with graphic tales from survivors, such as Texas firefighter and paramedic Brenton Lowack, who went to the movie with a friend from high school, Jessica Ghawi.

According to a police report, 33-year-old Scott Prascher of McKinney, Texas, was extremely intoxicated and sitting across the aisle from Oklahoma resident Declan Cooper on their flight from San Antonio to Dallas-Forth Worth.

Cooper was engaged in conversation with a fellow passenger discussing plans for the next leg of their flight. Prascher repeatedly interrupted the conversation and even cursed at Cooper, the report says.

Cooper tried to ignore the man, but after Prascher kept directing profane insults his way, Cooper back-handed Prascher with his right hand, leaving Prascher bloody and even more agitated, according to the report.

Government Of Dubai Gives Dubai Islamic Bank The Final Nod On Tamweel (26 September 2010)

Dubai Islamic Bank increases its stake in Tamweel to 57.33 percent

With the full support of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Government of Dubai has given the final nod to Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) to increase its shareholding in Tamweel to 57.33 percent, allowing the bank to become the largest shareholder in one of the region’s largest mortgage providers.

This strategic move is the culmination of intensive efforts over the past few months to resolve the stalemate at Tamweel that will allow the company to resume its core activity of providing mortgages and real estate financing. The move will give newmomentum to the local mortgage market which has entered a recovery phase after a series of decisive measures taken by the government in the wake of the recent global financial crisis.

Dubai Islamic Bank’s move to increase its stake in Tamweel is another step in the realization of Dubai Government’s vision to activate all stimulants to economic growth, and its ongoing support of development efforts across various sectors towards achieving strategic economic and social objectives for the United Arab Emirates.

Earlier, a resolution was passed by the Cabinet headed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to form a committee chaired by His Excellency Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy to examine and assess a number of Public Joint Stock Companies including Tamweel. Following from that


immediately, an executive committee was put together to oversee work and monitor progress at Tamweel. The executive committee also worked closely with all parties concerned to develop best possible solutions for Tamweel, and to finalize an agreement that would preserve investor interests while creating fresh growth incentives for the company.

This key agreement is the result of the combined efforts of all parties that participated in the preparation and conclusion of this agreement not the least of whom are the members of the executive committee overseeing the restructuring process of Tamweel, as well as the invaluable cooperation of all related bodies spearheaded by the Ministries of Economy and Finance, and the Central Bank of the UAE, the Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority, and the Dubai Financial Market who allTHAT WAY THEY CANSPEAKDURING A PUBLIC COMMENTSESSION.REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT INLIBERTY TOWNSHIP, KARIN JOHNSON,WLWT NEWS 5.SHEREE: THE BUDGET PROPOSALSTILL HAS TO PASS THROUGH THE
