Moore lost his reelection bid in February in independent-minded Rogers Park). “Rahm confronted the challenges,” Moore says. “He convinced the City Council to vote for significant property tax increases. He exhibited a willingness that Daley never exhibited to spend political capital.”

Emanuel was elected mayor in 2011 with strong support in the black community. By 2015, that support was eroding. Between 2011 and the first round of voting in 2015, his share of the vote dropped from 63 percent to 49 percent in the 27th Ward, which includes East Garfield Park, and from 60 percent to 45 percent in the 4th Ward, which covers part of Douglas. (Emanuel saw little or no drop-off in the downtown wards in which he had so assiduously invested.) That loss of support fromactivist William Calloway, who encouraged journalist Brandon Smith to sue the city for the video’s release. Although Emanuel says he did not see the video until it became public in November 2015, some suspected that he rushed a confidential settlement with the family through the City Council in order to preserve his reelection. By May 2016, his disapproval rating in the black community had risen to 70 percent.

Only then did Emanuel begin seriously directing resources to the South and West Sides. The city announced plans to build a police and fire academy in West Garfield Park; the Department of Fleet and Facility Management’s garage moved from the North Branch of the Chicago River (on the site that will become Lincoln Yards) to Englewood.

Pitchers being filled with water drawn from aCharlesworth were married for 12 and a half years,

and they divorced in late April. Earlier in the year she and her children moved in with

her parents at their home on Del Rio Road in Spring Valley. Carolyn's parents had lived

at that address for over 30 years and Charlesworth had been to the home numerous times

during the time he and Carolyn were married.

       Carolyn began attending Grossmont College on August 19, shortly after the court

reinstated Charlesworth's probation on August 14 after the latest of his violations of the

terms of his probation. She testified that prior to October 1 she began receiving "weird"

text messages from an unknown person in which the person stated where she lived, how

many children she had, and places she had


"bothered [her] a lot," so she called the probation department.

       The People presented evidence that Charlesworth's GPS monitoring system, an

ankle bracelet attached to him that transmitted his location through satellites, showed he

was at Grossmont College between 9:42 a.m. and 9:48 a.m. on October 1. It also showed

he was near Carolyn's parents' house on Del Rio Road at 11:39 a.m. that morning.

Specifically, the GPS monitoring system showed Charlesworth was at 10823 Del Rio

Road at that time. Carolyn testified her parents' house where she lived was located at

10826 Del Rio Road. Charlesworth was arrested the following day.

       b. Defense Case

       Testifying in his own defense, Charlesworth admitted he was on Del RioRoad on

October 1 at around 9:30 a.m. to 9:34 a.m. and again at about 11:39 a.m., but he was only

there because he was traveling to his storage unit located on Austin Drive, which turns

into Del Rio Road. He explained that he must travel down Del Rio Road to reach his

storage unit, and he was on Del Rio Road twice that morning because he forgot both his

access key and his password to the storage unit the first time, so he had to come back.

       Charlesworth admitted on cross-examination that he knew where Carolyn's parents

lived on Del Rio Road because he had been there more than several dozen times during


                              6
the time he and Carolyn were married, but he indicated he did not know Carolyn was

living there. He testified that his storage unit was "a few hundred feet down from

[Carolyn's parents] house" and he has to go by their house to get to the storage unit. He

also testified that he rented the storage unit on August 31,2 two weeks after he was

released from custody and granted probation, and that Carolyn's parents' address was

listed on the rental application as his own address.

       Regarding his presence at Grossmont College from 9:42 a.m. to 9:48a.m. on

October 1, Charlesworth testified that he had been heading north on the SR 125 freeway

when he received a text notifying him that he needed to be at the Veteran's Village of San

Diego before noon,. He took the Grossmont College Drive off-ramp in order to make a

U-turn and drive southbound on the 125. He testified he was on the overpass of

Grossmont College Drive when he got off the freeway, but he did not know it was the

exit for Grossmont College. He explained the duration of his stay in that area by

testifying that the road was "congested" with traffic. He also testified he did not know at

that time that Carolyn was a student at Grossmont College.

       Charlesworth testified he did not receive a


parking ticket during the six-month

period before October 1. He also testified that no one had informed him he was not to go

near Grossmont College or Carolyn's parents' house.

2      Two weeks earlier, at the August 14 order to show cause hearing (discussed, ante),
Charlesworth admitted he had violated the conditions of his probation, and the court
revoked his probation but reinstated it for a period of four years under the same terms and
conditions, except that the court ordered Charlesworth to wear the GPS device.

       Charlesworth's probation officer, when asked by defense counsel on cross-

examination to compare the note Carolyn found on her windshield to the document

containing the probation department's "no contact" definition on which Charlesworth had

signed and printed his name on August 12, the probation officer stated, "From a quick

look, they do not look like they could be from the same person." The probation officer

stated he was not a handwriting expert. He acknowledged he did not inform

Charlesworth that he was not to enter the campus of Grossmont College or the area near

Carolyn's parents' house, and that those places were not specifically listed as off limits in

a court order. The probation officer had added them at Carolyn's request sometime

around August 14 as GPS monitor


doing so.

       During the October 16 evidentiary hearing at issue here, Carolyn testified that

prior to the October 1 incident at Grossmont College involving the note she found on the

windshield of her car, she began receiving weird text messages from an unknown person

in which the person who wrote the messages stated where she lived, how many children

she had, and places she had visited. Carolyn testified that the person's conversations in

the messages were "very similar to the conversations" she and Charlesworth used to have

during their marriage. This testimony is substantial circumstantial evidence that

Charlesworth was the person who wrote those text messages.

       Carolyn also testified that she parked her car at Grossmont College at 7:45 a.m. on

October 1 and,when she returned to her car just before 10:00 a.m. later that morning, she

found on the front windshield of her car a note written on a portion of a parking ticket

envelope. Written on the envelope was the word "Aha."3 Carolyn testified that the note

"bothered [her] a lot" and she called the probation department. She recognized the

writing as Charlesworth's. Specifically, she testified that the writing was "familiar" and

"look[ed] like [Charlesworth's] writing." She also testified that Charlesworth recently

"aha" is an interjection that is "used to express surprise, triumph, or derision."

had received a parking ticket. The prosecution's GPS evidence showed that Charlesworth

was at Grossmont College between 9:42 a.m. and 9:48 a.m. on October 1. During his

testimony, Charlesworth admitted he was on Grossmont College Drive shortly after 9:42

a.m. that day.

       We conclude a reasonable trier of fact could find from the foregoing substantial

evidence that the prosecution met its burden of proving by a preponderance of the

evidence that Charlesworth willfully violated conditions 10c, 10i, and 10j of his

probation, as well as paragraphs 10 and 17 of the August 14 domestic violence criminal

protective order, by writing the note in question and putting it on the windshieldso he can find his new 'furever' home."

Julia

I met a woman on one of my walks the other day. She was about ten years younger than me. Her name was Julia and she was pushing in a stroller a sweetheart of a boy, less than two


years old. She explained that he was her youngest grandson and he was wonderful the way he laughed and played with his grandmother. She said his name was Jason.

We got to talking and exchanged first names only. We were in one of the small parks that is near where I live. She lived with her daughter and her husband and was caring for Jason while his parents were at work. Julia had a job working in part time in a non-profit senior center as an administrator in the mornings. I walk in the evenings after 5pm so I don't miss my phone calls from the VA Hospital.

Julia explained that she was getting a divorce from her husband of 30 years because he was so hateful and angry ather now that he was so ill. She was so glad that she had gotten an education while she was married and now had a decent job. He was a retired airline pilot and her cash settlement and the eventual part of his pension should give her a good life. I asked her if it was his illness, ALS, that was making him so difficult to live with. She was sure it was as she stated he was in the later stages of the disease. She told me that after she left he had to hire people to help him and none of them lasted very long. His doctor was now recommending that he go into a convalescent home. I wondered out loud if instead of a divorce,


she could just put him into a home. She said she could not do that to him. I apologize and said it wasn't my business to say that. She said he was angry that he had this disease as he had been so healthy all of his life.Once he was deceased, she would get their house back and she would move back.

She was looking for an apartment and asked about the ones that I lived in. I told her that I was very happy with it but that it did not have laundry hookups. I did not find that to be a problem. She wanted to stay in the same area as her daughter and her part time job.

When I got home, I realized that taking care ofsomeone with ALS, is not pleasant. Gradually, paralysis spreads to the body and her husband because he is in the later part of the disease is having trouble swallowing. She mentioned that he needed help in breathing. Not only was her husband angry that he had ALS, but she was unhappy with it too. She probably felt she did not sign up for it either. She would have to take the abuse her husband gave to anyone that cared for him in his last illness. It would be better to get a divorce and then go back after his eventual death since there is no cure.

Julia told me that when she first met her husband, he was a pilot and she was a flight attendant. He was very


good-looking and had many women chasing him. He was proud of his looks and thought she was the best looking woman he ever met. Even at her age, she was still a good looking woman. She worked hard to keep herself trim and in good condition. It must be hard to be let down by one's own body or the body of one's husband. He had been working at the gym on a regular basis even after retirement from the airlines when he noticed something was not right and went to his doctor. She said he was devastated by the diagnosis.

There is no happy endings in life at times. I just found out that I have a tumor in my right lung. No one knows for sure ifGeorge HW Bush's passing comes just months after the death in April of his wife Barbara Bush. (AFP)

Former US president George HW Bush, who helped steer America through the end of the Cold War, died at age 94 late on Friday night.

One block of testing was completed with the right hand and the other with the left hand; the order of these blocks was counterbalanced across participants. A trial comprised the presentation of a name in the centre of the screen, with the participant's own face, a friend's face or a stranger's face appearing to the left, to the right or on both sides of the name. The name presented was the participant's own name, a friend's name or a stranger's name.

city chose not to promote her to the ECS I position.

A. March 2008 Promotion of S. Payton
In March 2008, the city chose to promote Stacy Payton, over Gray, to the ECS I position.
When the Communications Department had a vacancy, it sent a `position fill request' to the City and County Personnel Department, which then created a register of eligible individuals who met the minimum qualifications for the position. Once a register was created, the Personnel Department could preserve the register for up to two years or it could declare it to be `exhausted' before the two year period ended, with two possible results: the register, and any names remaining on it, could be discarded completely or any names left on it could be transferred to the new register.the position. In his deposition, Deputy Chief Dillard could not recall why Smith was selected. However, the record shows that Smith had 13 years of experience as a dispatcher with the city at the time she was promoted.

III. DISCUSSION

A. Race Discrimination
Gray brings two claims of race discrimination. She asserts that the City of Montgomery discriminated against her when it failed to promote her to the ECS I position in March 2008 (when Payton was selected) and again in June 2008 (when Routon was selected). Under both Title VII and § 1981, it is generally illegal for an employer to discriminate against its employees because of their race. 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e-2(a)(1); 42 U.S.C.A. § 1981.
As a threshold issue, the city argues that Gray's Title VII claims are time


considered for the ECS I position (given to Payton in March 2008) because Gray did not apply for it. The city explains that *1346 Gray did not submit an application for the position when the Personnel Department posted the opening; that she was not listed as a qualified individual on the register that the Personnel Department gave to the Communications Department; and that, as a result, the Communications Department did not have the authority to promote her to the position.
Gray does not maintain that she submitted an application in response to the opening, but argues that her January 2007 application and placement on the list of eligible candidates for the ECS I position in February 2007 should have qualified her as an eligible candidate in March 2008. Theexisting list from the old register but she did not. There is no evidence that Dillard played any role, direct or indirect, in the ultimate decision to discard the 2007 register. Thus, Dillard's action does not raise an inference of discrimination because the Personnel Director, not Dillard, made the ultimate decision to discard the old register.
Second, Gray asserts that if the city discarded a register, it was supposed to send notice to the individuals on the register informing them that they needed to reapply. In support, Gray cites two documents: a portion of a deposition of Deputy Chief Dillard, and an example of such a notice that appears to have been sent to her in February 2010. Dillard testified that it was his understanding, from discussions with the


race.
The city's acts, therefore, do not raise an inference of racial discrimination as to Gray's March 2008 failure-to-promote claim. As a result, because Gray is unable to establish a prima-facie case, summary judgment in favor of the city is appropriate on this claim.

2.
As stated, Gray asserts that the City of Montgomery discriminated against her when it failed to promote her to the ECS I position in March 2008 (when Payton was selected) and again in June 2008 (when Routon was selected). Even assuming that Gray has established prima-facie cases as to both her March and June 2008 failure-to-promote claims, the City of Montgomery is still entitled to summary judgment on these claims.
The city has met its burden of coming forward with legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons for the March andRouton's extensive experience outside of the city. Gray then points out that this choice is hard to reconcile with the city's decision to choose Routon over Gray, since Gray also had two years of experience with the Communications Department. This line of reasoning, however, overlooks the fact that Payton had substantial experience in telecommunications within other city departments, including six years of work as an Emergency Communications Officer for the Montgomery County Sheriff's office and seven years of experience as an Emergency Communications Officer for the Montgomery Fire Department. In light of Payton's full employment history, it is evident that, with respect to both hiring decisions, the city chose the candidate with the most overall telecommunications experience.
Second, Gray argues that both Payton and Routon had more serious disciplinary


histories than she did. Gray points out that Payton was suspended for 15 days for failing to dispatch an ambulance while employed by the Montgomery Fire Department. (Payton worked for the Fire Department from August 1991 through June 1999). She also alleges that Payton took unauthorized leave while working for the Communications Department.
With respect to Routon, Gray notes that Routon was subject to serious discipline for "abandonment of duty" just six months before the city hired her. The record shows that Routon "portray[ed] disrespect and a severe derelict of duty" when she violated three separate rules, during the course of one incident, while employed with the City of Norfolk, Virginia.

In April, the Trump administration began the process of opening the ANWR for oil and gas drilling, the first such move since 1980. Significant oil and gas reserves are thought to lie under the ANWR coastal plain and Prudhoe Bay, a major oil centre, lies close to the refuge's western boundary. The Gwich'in name for the coastal plain is "Sacred place where life begins", as it is the breeding ground of the caribou.

However, Alaska's congressional representatives, who are all Republican, strongly support the drilling plan, suggesting it could bring in $1bn to state and federal governments in the next decade. When the plan to open the ANWR for oil and gas exploitation was announced, it was "the single-most important step we can take to strengthen our long-term energy security and create new wealth".

Murkowski, also chairman of the Senate committee on energy and natural resources, said: "Responsible development is limited to just 2,000 federal acres -- just one ten-thousandth of all of ANWR."

In fact, the venue hasn't hosted an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcast since June 14, 2009. That will change Sunday night, when the Indians and Tigers play the final game of Major League Baseball's first half.

Eight years ago, Cliff Lee tossed a three-hit shutout in Cleveland against the St. Louis Cardinals before a national audience. The reigning American League Cy Young Award winner would be dealt to Philadelphia the following month, with the Indians receiving a package in return that included Carlos Carrasco.

Mark DeRosa hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Chris Carpenter. Six weeks later, the Indians traded DeRosa to St. Louis for relievers Chris Perez and Jess Todd. Perez pitched


a scoreless eighth inning for the Cardinals in that 2009 game.

The Indians won the contest, 3-0, in one hour, 58 minutes. Kelly Shoppach contributed a solo homer and was responsible for two of the Indians' five hits.

The Indians did play on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball on Aug. 31, 2014, when they required extra innings against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. The game was ultimately suspended because of a thunderstorm, with the Tribe on top, 4-2, in the 10th inning.

The teams completed the game in Cleveland three weeks later before the start of a regularly scheduled meeting.

Following Sunday's game, the Indians' coaching staff and five of the club's players will fly to Miami for next week's All-Star Game festivities. They'll return to Cleveland after the MidsummerClassic and head to the west coast for an optional team workout on Thursday in Oakland.

The Indians open the second half of their schedule with a weeklong stay in the Bay Area. They'll start with a series against the Athletics before they play a series against the Giants at AT&T Park.

Provenance and Acquisition Information

The Center received this collection from Doug Seroff, Fairview TN in December 1990. The papers were given to him by Mrs. Bruce Davidson, the creator's widow.

Biographical Sketch

Bruce Davidson, born in 1917 in Palmyra NJ, broke into radio in the early 1940s at station WIP in Philadelphia PA. In 1947 he joined RCA-Victor Records in Camden NJ as editor of publications, but became Capitol Records sales promotion representative in Philadelphia in the early 1950s, beginning a 14 year career with the company which ended with a tour at company headquarters in Hollywood CA as singles merchandise manager.

After leaving Capitol he worked as public relations director for a Pasadena CA radio station before moving to Nashville TN in 1970 as executive vicepresident of Mega Records. Following the demise of Mega he held positions at two other independent record labels in Nashville and organized Music Media, a company specializing in graphics for the music industry.

While in Philadelphia Davidson began a life-time of jazz record collecting, and after moving to Nashville helped found the Tennessee Jazz and Blues Society. He and Nashvillian Brad McCuen co-hosted the popular weekly jazz radio series Upbeat which originated at WPLN Nashville and was syndicated to public radio stations across the country.

At the time of his death 25 May 1987 his friend and cohost Brad McCuen said of Davidson, a longtime member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, "He was a thorough record man . . . He was a man whose deepest


love was jazz but he was completely capable of operating successfully in country music, popular music, [or] soul music." (Nashville Tennessean 27 May 1987)

Isolation Play

TEHRAN -- The U.S. failure to find weapons of mass destruction after the war in Iraq has dealt a severe blow to the Bush administration in its attempts to take a hard line on Iran at the United Nations.

A resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board of governors in Vienna, Austria, on Nov. 26 gave the administration almost none of what it wanted -- namely, condemnation and punishment of Iran for its alleged work to develop nuclear weapons. Faced with unmoving European opposition, the U.S. delegation was forced to sign a document that in effect gives a new lease on life to the UN nuclear-weapons agency and opens the door to easing Tehran's diplomatic isolation.

The Iranian government, deeply divided between the reformist President


but only a tiny amount of plutonium was produced by 1992, when the program was stopped and the equipment destroyed. IAEA tests found traces of highly enriched uranium at two Iranian facilities last summer, but Iran's explanation that the particles came via used nuclear machinery bought on the international black market is viewed by some experts as plausible.

In general, however, Iran won simply by avoiding defeat. By blocking the U.S. demand to immediately send the case to the Security Council, Iran has opened the way for an initiative by Britain, France and Germany that allows IAEA inspectors to start a long-term monitoring program.

In the coming months, as IAEA inspectors go through the vast number of documents that Iran turned over detailing its procurement programs for nuclear equipment, theyis simply a matter of trust, of trying to read their minds. I, for one, don't feel qualified to read minds."

The nuclear question is perhaps the only issue that unites Iran's pro-democracy reformers and the hard-liners. "Support for peaceful nuclear energy is very broad in Iran, among all political sectors," said Emadeddin Baghi, a columnist for the liberal Sharq daily who was released from prison last year after serving a two-year sentence for criticizing the nation's religious hierarchy. "Everybody believes Iran has the right to develop itself technologically. If the United States, Russia and China have oil but also have nuclear power, why not Iran?"

While the Bush administration and many foreign experts say Iran has no legitimate need to develop nuclear power because of the country's huge petroleum


reserves, many Iranians stiffen with pride when asked about nuclear energy. They invariably point out that the country's conservative ayatollahs have said that it would be forbidden under Islam to develop nuclear weapons. And they note that the country's civilian nuclear program was started in 1975, under the U.S.-backed shah.

Iranian officials strongly deny in public that the country has ever worked on nuclear weapons, but some leading figures in the hard-line religious establishment indicate that some scientists may have pursued their own agenda, unbeknownst to top civilian officials.

"Those in Iran who clandestinely believed they could develop nuclear weapons have now been forced to admit that is forbidden under Islam," said Hussein Shariatmadari, president of the Kayhan newspaper chain, which is controlled by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, andan unofficial spokesman for the supreme leader. He declined to explain further.

Even if Iran comes out squeaky clean from the IAEA inspections, there remain a series of major roadblocks to further détente with Washington, if not with Europe. Agreement is far apart between Tehran and the United States on most, but perhaps not all, of the following issues:

 Uranium enrichment. The IAEA resolution calls for Iran to continue with its voluntary suspension of uranium enrichment at a plant in Natanz. This plant could produce not only fuel for civilian nuclear-energy production but the highly enriched uranium needed for nuclear weapons. Iran has stated repeatedly that it plans to eventually resume production at the Natanz plant, as it is entitled to do under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The Europeans


say that if the IAEA inspections come up empty, they will give Iran a green light for Natanz. In the United States, there is generally bipartisan consensus that Iran must never be allowed to enrich its own uranium.

 Al-Qaeda prisoners. For the past year, some U.S. intelligence reports have said that Iran's security services have given refuge to top al-Qaeda leaders. After a long silence on the issue, Iran has said elliptically that it has some important al-Qaeda prisoners, but it won't give names, refuses to allow foreign investigators to talk with them and has stonewalled extradition requests by Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United States.

 Saudi bombings. A similar argument within the Bush administration has raged over whether the United States should reopen its direct diplomatic contactswith Iran, shut down since May after bombings in Saudi Arabia were linked by some intelligence officials to groups operating in Iran.

 Iraq. For months U.S. officials have repeatedly accused Iran of "meddling" in Iraq, stirring up dissent among the majority Shiite population. In recent days, however, military officials in Baghdad have downplayed these assertions. They now say only about 70 of the more than 11,000 prisoners in U.S. hands in Iraq are Iranian.

 Israel. Iran gives a variety of overt and covert aid to Hezbollah in Lebanon and to Islamic Jihad and Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Washington insists that no détente is possible until Tehran halts this aid. Most observers believe no agreement is possible between the two sides on this issue.

 Argentine


bombings. The United States and Argentina have long accused Iran of involvement in two deadly terrorist attacks: the 1982 bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1984 bombing of a Jewish cultural center. The case against Iran in the 1984 blast crumbled last month when Britain dismissed for lack of evidence an Argentine extradition request for Hadi Soleimanpour, who was Iran's ambassador to Argentina when the attack occurred. The 1982 case, which remains cloaked in Iranian official denials and the murkiness of the then-Argentine military dictatorship, is generally viewed as more solid.

 Mujahideen-e-Khalq. This anti-Tehran guerrilla army has long been the archenemy of the Iran government, and is on the U.S. government's official list of terrorist organizations. The group was given arms and bases inIraq by Saddam Hussein, and after the U.S. conquest, many in Tehran and Washington alike expected that American forces would disband the group. However, the Mujahideen-e-Khalq has powerful friends among Washington neoconservatives, who view it as a means to destabilize Tehran, and it has been kept intact at its base at Khalis, north of Baghdad, under U.S. guard. Iranian officials are demanding that the group be extradited to Iran, and although they have offered the group amnesty, any such return would likely expose its members to imprisonment or death.

In the short term, none of these disputes may matter much because the IAEA inspections will take on a life of their own, giving the United Nations unprecedented power over diplomacy with Iran. Teams of scientists will fan out across


Iran month after month, conducting experiments and reporting home to UN headquarters in New York. The conclusions drawn by IAEA Director General Mohammad el-Baradei in his periodic missives to the Security Council are likely to have enormous impact on the West's evolving attitudes toward Iran.

This growing UN clout reportedly has already brought proposals from Europe for the IAEA's sister organization in Iraq, the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, to be turned into a permanent agency authorized to investigate biological weapons and missile programs worldwide. The proposal dovetails with efforts by the European Union and other Security Council members to send the agency's inspectors back into Iraq to finish the job that was interrupted by the U.S. invasion.

The Bush administration strongly opposes these proposals, saying American inspectors willof the National Data Center (NDC). As known to those skilled in the art, the NDC is a repository of bankruptcy trustee data. The NDC has agreements with the majority of the bankruptcy trustees in the United States. The NDC receives updates from bankruptcy trustees with data related to each of the debtors over whom they have jurisdiction for the collection and distribution of the debtor funds.
Unfortunately, a collection authority, upon receiving trustee data from the NDC, typically is required to undergo a time consuming and tedious process to determine which accounts have received a payment from a debtor. For example, when an NDC voucher file is received by a collection authority, the collection authority has to match debtor payment transactions to the collection authority's account. The person

The number of people living in makeshift camps outside the French port of Calais has doubled to 6,000, a French government official has said.

Fabienne Buccio told Reuters news agency this was partly due to tighter security measures hindering migrants' efforts to cross the Channel.

The Pas-de-Calais department prefect warned other migrants to stay away.

Two migrants believed to be trying to reach the UK from Calais have been killed in the past week.

A total of 16 have been killed in or near the Channel Tunnel while trying to make the journey from France since June.

At the height of summer, the number of migrants living in the camps was about 3,000.

In recent weeks,for eight months and some are not even trying to go across anymore - some are settling here."

Her department is receiving more asylum requests than anywhere else in France, she told the news agency.

The situation in Calais is part of a wider migrant crisis across Europe, with huge numbers of people heading north from the Mediterranean.

New security measures were introduced at the tunnel's entrance in August to cut the number of intrusion attempts, which reached 2,000 per night at their peak.

Last week, Central Arkansas Water, the utility which manages Lake Maumelle and provides water service to Little Rock and other communities, announced it would fight the incorporation. Now, the Sierra Club and the Coalition of Greater Little Rock Neighborhoods are also urging Pulaski County to deny Little Italy's petition and asking the Little Rock City Board to adopt a resolution in opposition.

Interesting reportorial remark in an article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette today on Benton's hope to improve its image with a new convention center:
Saline County could have become economically stressed after the reduction of its major industry [aluminum], but during that period the county’s population began to swell as it became a bedroom community for people looking for comfortable suburban homes tocomplement their urban jobs.

The Los Angeles Times reports on the sagging casino economy in Tunica, Miss., a sag due in part to increasing national competition.

Sen. Jason Rapert has announced on Facebook his plans to file this week a so-called trigger law — like those passed in four other states — that would make abortion illegal in Arkansas immediately if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Polling suggests the majority would oppose it.

The annual abortion protest marches were held around the country Sunday and, as usual, press accounts duly quoted the misinformation repeated there. From the coverage of the Arkansas march, this stood out:

Gov. Asa Hutchinson has made several public appearances today as part of the observance of King Day and his remarks have included lauding the


state's 2017 action (and his own) in ending the dual observance of King's birthday with that of a man who fought to preserve slavery, Robert E. Lee. I have one brief observation on his remarks:prime minister, the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee , and the opposition is similar to the situation between Modi and the present opposition today.“You (BJP) won with 31 per cent vote share because the opposition was fragmented, seat share was disproportionate and the BJP's vote was concentrated.“And even against Vajpayee, when the opposition began to come together, the same question was asked, ‘who will become the PM, if not Vajpayee' … and you had an accidental PM,” said Sharma who earlier wrote the New York Times bestseller “The Rise and Fall of Nations".In 2004, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) conceded defeat and the Congress returned to power with Manmohan Singh being appointed prime minister.Describing Uttar Pradesh , which has 80 Lok Sabha seats, as a “microcosm of India”,

The site, called "Wikitribune", will be operated and written by paid journalists, but will also be fact-checked, and sometimes edited, by community volunteers.

"Wikitribune takes professional, standards-based journalism and incorporates the radical idea from the world of Wiki that a community of volunteers can and will reliably protect and improve articles," reads a newly revealed website announcing the project.

"The news is broken, and we can fix it" is the keystone pledge of Wikitribune, as seen by BBC News.

back toward southeast Texas, on Wednesday.

Bands of heavy rain are expected to persist over the next several days, with parts of Texas and Louisiana facing record rainfall through at least Labor Day weekend, forecasters say.

Flash flood warnings remain in effect for parts of the Houston region through Tuesday morning, and more than 260,000 customers are without power.

The Red Cross reported 17,000 people sought refuge in shelters overnight.

Four have been officially reported dead as a result of the storm.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun releasing water from both major Houston-area dams — something that has never been done before.

The Woodforest Bridge over Greens Bayou in east Houston has collapsed.

President Donald Trump will tour parts of Texas on Tuesday. He declared a disaster in five parishes ahead ofwas smashed when 49.2 inches was recorded at an intersection in the Houston suburb of Friendswood. The previous record was 48 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

In hard-hit Houston, Mayor Sylvester Turner reported more than 3,000 people have been rescued since the weekend and 150 remained in "critical" situations.

Meanwhile, 911 operators were struggling to answer the numerous desperate calls for help in a city where major highways were transformed into rivers by the unrelenting downpours and widespread flooding.

The NWS warned that "catastrophic and life-threatening flooding" remained a threat to southeastern Texas and portions of southwestern Louisiana early Tuesday.

In New Orleans, Mayor Mitch Landrieu marked the 12th anniversary of another devastating storm that wrecked his city — Hurricane Katrina — and said they have Houston's back.

"We lost 1,800


fellow Americans, and the devastation we experienced was great," Landrieu. "No city welcomed more New Orleanians following Katrina than Houston, and our hearts break for them as Hurricane Harvey displaces so many of their citizens."

President Donald Trump, who arrived in Texas on Tuesday with first lady Melania Trump, has signed a disaster declaration to speed federal funds to stricken areas.

The latest confirmed casualty of the storm was a 33-year-old man who reportedly "drove around flood barricades" and drowned, said Capt. Bryan Carlisle of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, which is about 40 miles north of Houston.

"The sheriff's office and civilians tried to rescue him," Carlisle said. "He drownedbefore we could get to him and found him deceased."

Earlier, a 60-year-old woman in east Montgomery County was killed when a tree fell on her while she slept, the county sheriff's office said Monday.

Six members of a family trying to flee were swept away in their van on Sunday and remained missing, two relatives told NBC News on Monday. Authorities said they hadn't found a submerged van, but relatives said they fear the six — four children and their great-grandparents — are dead.

The Department of Homeland Security said it was sending reinforcements to Texas to help bolster security forces while Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the entire Texas National Guard — about 12,000 members — to report for duty.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard said it was taking more than 1,000 calls per hour and dispatching helicopters and boats from as far away as Maine and California to Texas to help with rescues, Vice Adm. Karl Schultz said.

People were rescued from "pretty much everywhere," said Cmdr. Jim Spitler, commanding officer of Air Station Houston. "Most of them are rooftops, but they've been on top of cars, they've been on bridges, they've been in their attics."

Houston set up its largest shelter inside the George R. Brown Convention Center, which hasthe rivers of Texas," Banks said.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Monday that it had begun releasing water from both major Houston-area dams — something that has never been done before.

While opening two reservoirs will increase water levels and worsen flooding along Houston's Buffalo Bayou watershed, it's a better alternative than allowing the water to spill over and around the reservoirs into additional neighborhoods, Turner said Monday.

The storm's next target as it tracks north is likely to be Louisiana, the southern part of which is under a flash flood watch through Thursday. As much as 20 inches of rain is possible in southwestern parts of the state.

Trump on Monday declared a disaster in five Louisiana parishes ahead of the storm's arrival, authorizing FEMA to coordinate relief efforts


there and allowing the federal government to cover some emergency costs.

For survivors of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the devastation brought back painful memories.

"We've been watching the weather map, but not necessarily the weather footage, because it is very reminiscent," said Edward L. Spears II, pastor of Faith and Love Church of God in Christ in Fort Worth, who evacuated with his family from New Orleans 12 years ago.

Harvey "is a little too close," he told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. "In all the languages in all the world and all the dialects, there are no words for what it feels like."

While examples of heroism and neighbors helping each other have abounded since the start of the storm, State Attorney General KenPSL spot-fixing: Tribunal to hold hearing on Friday

Lahore, March 20 (IANS) The three-member Anti-Corruption Tribunal set up to probe the alleged spot-fixing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), on Monday issued notices to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and cricketers Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif to hold the preliminary hearing at the National Cricket Academy here on Friday.

The tribunal, which also includes former PCB chairman Lieutenant General (Retd) Tauqir Zia and former Test cricketer Wasim Bari, will have the preliminary hearing of the case.

The tribunal was constituted after both Khalid and Sharjeel formally informed PCB that they seek to contest the charges levelled against them.

"The three members of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal tasked with adjudicating the spot-fixing matter have today issued notices to PCB, Sharjeel Khan and Khalid Latif


to hold a preliminary hearing on Friday from 11:30 a.m. at the National Cricket Academy, Lahore," the PCB said in a statement.

"The Tribunal was constituted after the two delinquent players, Khalid Latif and Sharjeel Khan, formally informed PCB that they seek to contest charges levelled against them."

"As per the prescribed procedure the Tribunal will hold the preliminary hearing where as mandated by the Code timeline of future dates of hearing will be decided."

The statement further read that the Tribunal will decide the timeline of future dates of hearing at the preliminary hearing.

"Moreover, at the preliminary hearing the Tribunal in consultation with legal representatives of PCB and players will decide when the PCB is to submit an opening brief detailing the claims against the two players along with theact aggressively... Any demonstrated effects are both small and indistinguishable from effects produced by other media."

But video games have remained a popular talking point for many politicians in the wake of mass shootings ever since the Columbine High School shooters were found to be fans of Doom back in 1999 (as were tens of millions of other people at the time). Republican politicians including Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), and Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) all pointed a finger at violent games in the wake of the Parkland High School shooting in early 2018.

President Trump also repeatedly brought up violent games as a potential cause of youth violence in Parkland's wake. That in turn led to a White House summit between Trump and representatives of the


from politicians shortly after our story first published.

“As we shared at the White House video game meeting in March 2018, numerous scientific studies have established that there is no causal connection between video games and violence. More than 165 million Americans enjoy video games, and billions of people play video games worldwide. Yet other societies, where video games are played as avidly, do not contend with the tragic levels of violence that occur in the US," wrote Kara Kelber, the ESA's Director for Communications and Industry Affairs, in a statement to Ars. “Video games contribute to society, from new medical therapies and advancements, educational tools, business innovation, and more."

Kelber encouraged any concerned parents to check out the ESRB's resources ParentTools.org. And previously, the organization has issued a four-page"Essential Facts" sheet when pushing back against the most common arguments trying to link violent games and real-world violence.

"Violent crime, particularly among the young, has decreased dramatically since the early 1990s," the fact sheet reads, in part. "During the same period of time, video games have steadily increased in popularity and use, exactly the opposite of what one would expect if there were a causal link."

Update, 12:50p ET: During his formal remarks today to address the El Paso shooting and the shooting in Dayton, Ohio, President Trump once again directly cited video games as one of the forces fueling violence in the US.


a multi-breadbasket failure (MBBF) within 5-10 years; the melting of sea ice at the north pole would disrupt the weather so much that that grain harvests in Russia, USA and Canada would all fail, and that this would probably lead to societal collapse. Fair enough, I said.

Jem's instincts can be uncanny. Last week I heard the news that the polar vortex has shifted over from the less cold north polar ocean to greenland, where more ice remains, and this has meant near incessant rain for grain farmers in USA. By the end of the planting season, only 60% of the fields had been planted, and much of what was planted had drowned.

She's been featured in publications such as Better Homes & Gardens, Flea Market Style,HGTV and on CountryLiving.comthe survey, 60% of wing eaters prefer traditional, bone-in wings while 40% chose boneless. In 2015, the spread was 54% vs. 46%, respectively. Boneless wings are typically white, boneless chicken breasts cut into strips, breaded or floured and tossed with Buffalo sauce.

This data parallels with recent research by The NPD Group, which found 64 percent of chicken wings served in restaurants are bone-in. Servings for the bone-in wings rose by 6 percent in 2017, while boneless wings declined at a similar rate.

The wing

The vast majority of wings, especially those destined for restaurants, are disjointed, with the third joint (the thin part known as the wing tip or flapper) being exported to Asian countries and the meatier first and second joints being sold domestically.

Bowl wings?

The National Chicken Council estimates that of the wings eaten during Super Bowl weekend, 75 percent will come from restaurants or foodservice outlets, and 25 percent from retail grocery stores. According to The NPD Group, the number of restaurants with the word “wings” in their names has grown 18% since 2014.

Although the vast majority of wings eaten during the Super Bowl are purchased from restaurants, bars or wing and pizza joints, wing sales at grocery stores and supermarkets spike dramatically the week of the Super Bowl.

Chicken wings are a strong component of the supermarket fresh chicken category all year, too.

At $881 million, chicken wings are the third highest grossing cut in the fresh meat chicken category, according to Nielsen FreshFacts, which is up 4.6% from a yearago. (Total U.S., 52 weeks ending November 25, 2017.) The two highest grossing cuts were chicken breasts and chicken thighs, respectively.

Although rotisserie chicken rules the roost in the deli prepared chicken category, wings came in a strong third at $590 million, up 5.6% from a year ago, according to the same data. Fried chicken was #2.

Buffalo chicken wing history

Deep-fried chicken wings have long been a staple of Southern cooking. But the concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends. The guys liked them so much that the Bellissimos put them on the menu the next day.


Served with celery slices and bleu cheese sauce, “Buffalo Wings” were an instant hit.

Dick Winger, who sold hot sauce to the bar, went on the road with Dominic Bellissimo, the owners’ son, to promote the item and sell hot sauce, and the item gradually caught on with restaurant operators around the country. The concept hit the big time in 1990, when McDonald’s began selling Mighty Wings at some of its restaurants. KFC rolled out Hot Wings a year later, and Domino’s Pizza introduced its own wings in 1994. They’ve remained hot ever since. McDonald’s was back in the wing business in 2013, and its Mighty Wings were featured nationwide at most restaurants through the first quarter of 2014.

Chicken wings and football – A love story

The rise of thechicken wing and its correlation to American football all had to do with timing.

Cooking the whole bird was trendy in the 1960s and 1970s, but in the 1980s, U.S. consumers started preferring boneless-skinless breast meat, and wings became an inexpensive byproduct for chicken producers. Restaurants and bars realized they could charge low prices for the relatively inexpensive protein, and due to the spicy/salty nature of the sauce, they discovered that beer sales would go through the roof when customers ate wings.

At the same time, sports bars with multiple TVs and satellite dishes were becoming more and more common in America thanks to rapidly developing technology; and the most popular sporting event to watch with friends in bars is football. Wings were easily shareable and affordable, a great “group

Millions in US Drink Dirty Water, Records Show

by

Charles Duhigg

More than 20 percent of the nation's water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years, according to a New York Times analysis of federal data.

That law requires communities to deliver safe tap water to local residents. But since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage.

Regulators were informed of each of those violations as they occurred. But regulatory records show that fewer than 6 percent of the water systems that broke the law were ever fined or punished by state or federal officials, including those


Act violations have occurred in parts of every state. In the prosperous town of Ramsey, N.J., for instance, drinking water tests since 2004 have detected illegal concentrations of arsenic, a carcinogen, and the dry cleaning solvent tetrachloroethylene, which has also been linked to cancer.

In New York state, 205 water systems have broken the law by delivering tap water that contained illegal amounts of bacteria since 2004.

However, almost none of those systems were ever punished. Ramsey was not fined for its water violations, for example, though a Ramsey official said that filtration systems have been installed since then. In New York, only three water systems were penalized for bacteria violations, according to federal data.

The problem, say current and former government officials, is that enforcing the Safe Drinking Water ActAfter six previous trips to the Reebok CrossFit Games, it was lucky number seven for Ben Smith.

John Coltrane — Ole’ Coltrane

“Ole’ Coltrane” was John Coltrane’s last recording for the Atlantic label. It was recorded by Phil Ramone in May 1961 and released the following February. The larger group and long song forms mark a departure from his earlier solo works and point to where he was heading with his recordings on Impulse. His first record for Impulse, “Africa/Brass”, was recorded two days prior and included many of the same musicians.

This session featured his quartet including McCoy Tyner (p), Reggie Workman (b), and Elvin Jones (d), with the addition of Freddie Hubbard (tp), Eric Dolphy–under the pseudonym George Lane–(as,fl), and Art Davis as a second bassist. The performances are long and the music is dense, but not too much so. It has anLene Wold watched in silent horror as the woman in front of her removed her niqab, the scarf covering her face.

Underneath, the features were destroyed by deep, livid scars, stretching over her nose and cheek and slicing through her eye.

The skin was red and mottled, and parts of her chin were gone.

Her name was Amina.

‘Who did this to you?’ asked Lene, an author and journalist.

‘Baba,’ came the reply. ‘My father.’

Amina, who was 16 when she was attacked, was lucky to survive. Her elder sister, tied up beside her, had already been shot dead when their father turned to his younger daughter, pointed a pistol directly in her face and pulled the trigger. He was obsessed with family pride.

In the middle of the Jordanian desert, Lene Wold met Amina,


a 40-year-old woman who had years before survived an attempted honour killing by her father that had killed her sister

Every year, more than 5,000 women and girls around the world are murdered in so-called honour killings and thousands more are mutilated. Most common in South Asia and in the Middle East, there are an estimated 12 to 15 honour killings every year in Britain, too – and around the world the number has grown as increasing numbers of women take a stand against repression.

The supposedly immoral behaviour of the victims consists of anything from adultery and homosexuality, to dating someone from another culture, or merely daring to wear Western clothing. And the punishments meted out are savage: stoning, burning, drowning, being forced to drink poison or, as infor 13 years for her own protection, before finally releasing her to live out the ruins of her life alone.

And, remarkably, it includes testimony from her father as he attempts to justify his actions – a man who murdered his mother and eldest daughter, before turning the gun on Amina.

All in the name of ‘honour’.

Writer Lene Wold travelled to Jordan to research honour killings, which although they have been declared contrary to sharia law still occur across the same

Simply to find Amina took huge bravery from Lene Wold, a Norwegian-born writer who spent more than five years in Jordan investigating honour killings. Jordan is a deeply conservative country – and Lene is gay. It is also a dangerous place to be female.

Jordan is said to have one of


the best human rights records in the Middle East, yet 20 women are murdered every year for reasons related to family honour.

To reach Amina, Lene travelled for hours into the desert accompanied by a man she’d never met before. Her mobile phone was taken from her, and she was made to wear a blindfold.

Fearful for her life, she had texted her sister back home in Norway before the journey began, asking her to raise the alarm if she hadn’t heard from her by the following morning.

Her destination was a tent in a desolate spot surrounded by mountains – and inside was Amina, a woman who had been a teenager when her parents tried to kill her. Now she was 40.

‘Sit down,’ she said to Lene. ‘Where do Ibegin?’

In agreeing to tell her story to a stranger, Amina herself was taking a terrible risk.

Every year, more than 5,000 women and girls around the world are murdered in so-called honour killings and thousands more are mutilated

Fearful that she will be identified, she will spend the rest of her life knowing that the violence started by her father could return with a still more terrible conclusion.

So the trust she placed in Lene was all the more remarkable.

Amina explained she had grown up with her elder sister Aisha and their younger brother Akram in a little house on the outskirts of Amman, the Jordanian capital. Life had seemed unremarkable. Although their mother Noora was traditional, insisting her girls wore hijabs, their father, Baba, made a show of embracing Western


values.

But everything changed the summer Amina turned 16 and her family threw a party. Among those who attended was a family friend called Maram, a married woman. In the following months, Amina noticed that her big sister was behaving strangely, becoming secretive and spending increasing amounts of time with Maram. Aisha even invited her friend to join their family on holiday to Aqaba on the Red Sea. And it was there, as Amina lay in bed one night, that she heard her sister and Maram whispering their love for one another.

Amina was horrified, knowing instantly that her sister was putting herself in grave danger. Homosexuality is forbidden under sharia law.

Amina was tortured about what she had heard and, the following day, she told her mother, believing it wouldhelp Aisha. It was a disastrous mistake.

Rather than the concern she had expected, Amina saw hatred in her mother’s eyes. Noora screamed at Aisha, spat on her and swore that if she ever saw Maram again, no court in the country would hold her responsible for what she would do to her daughter.

Amina had found out that her sister was gay, which is forbidden under Sharia Law

Both sisters were terrified, and with good reason. Amina already knew what was possible in Jordan. Her father had told her how he had killed his own mother when he was a young boy of just 11.

Baba’s mother had left her family because her husband was violent, yet Baba’s friends turned on him and his brother for this supposed shame. They blamed


the men in the family for failing to control their mother. ‘Your mother is a whore,’ they had shouted at him. ‘Your father is a pathetic man.’

So, goaded by his father and brother, Baba strangled his mother with a steel wire. As a result, after months of being shunned, the family was allowed to become part of society again.

Baba had told Amina that he couldn’t forgive himself for what he’d done, but that he’d had no choice because of the dishonour his mother had brought.

Then he left his small village in southern Jordan, telling himself he didn’t want his own children to experience the same violence.

Yet the pattern of bloodshed would soon be repeated.

Already living in fear, Aisha and Amina found their situation grew still worse when theauthorities decided to intervene.

Because she was suffering terrible panic attacks, Amina went to hospital with her elder sister and there, grasping the seriousness of the danger they were in, a doctor called the police. For her own protection, Aisha was put in prison. Governors in Jordan have the legal right to hold a woman in ‘administrative custody’ if her release might lead to a criminal act taking place, such as one of her family members killing her.

The consequences would prove devastating. Aisha’s absence led to rumours that she was involved in immoral behaviour. The family was ostracised by neighbours and Baba’s memories of childhood humiliation came flooding back.

Jordan has taken steps towards ending the practice of honour killings. A fatwa was issued in December 2016 that declared, for


the first time, that such murders are contrary to sharia law

Their father signed a document stating that he forgave and would protect her, and Aisha was released. In fact, both parents were planning an attack of inconceivable brutality: on Aisha for her relationship with Maram, and on Amina for ‘conspiring’ with her.

Just days after Aisha’s return, the sisters were dragged into the living room and tied to chairs while Baba wielded a kitchen knife.

The sisters held hands as Amina was hit on the head and blacked out, but she came round to see Baba approaching her with the knife. He pushed it into her chest, causing indescribable pain.

Then Baba pointed a pistol at Amina’s face and fired. He had already killed Aisha, but somehow, miraculously, Amina survived.

Police arrivedand Baba was arrested. Yet because he had killed his daughter in the name of honour, under the Jordanian penal code he received a reduced sentence.

Amina, meanwhile, was locked up for 13 years in a prison in Amman – far longer than her father – for her own protection. She will spend the rest of her life in hiding.

Lene’s next move was equally courageous. Distressed yet gripped by Amina’s story, she spent the next year tracking down the man responsible – Rahman Abd Al-Nasir, Baba’s real name.

The two first met in a cafe in Amman, but it required a great deal of persuasion – and subterfuge – to get him to open up.

At this stage, it was impossible for Lene to reveal she had met Amina or that


she knew what Baba had done.

Instead, she led him to believe that she wanted to interview a respected man who was well-known for his vast life experience. In due course, Baba threatened Lene, too, openly displaying both his terrible violence and misogyny.

During one of their meetings, for example, Baba said he would cut off Lene’s hands if he discovered she was in a relationship with another woman. But thankfully, she had already claimed to have a husband and children back home in Norway. When Lene asked him why he would say such a thing, he replied: ‘Because you would bring shame on the family. Because you would deserve to die, or at the very least to lose your hands.’

It took two years and countless meetings to discover theBaba with the truth – she had met Amina, the daughter he had disfigured and disgraced.

At first, he denied having any daughters. He said Lene had the wrong person and he stormed off angrily.

Then, that night, as she lay in bed, she heard him knock on the door of her hotel room.

‘He’s going to kill me, I think, feeling for the hotel phone on the nightstand with shaking hands,’ she wrote.

‘The confession I’ve been looking for all these years might be moments away, but how much am I willing to risk?’

With security by her side, she met him in the lobby and they sat down to talk.

But when Baba told her what he remembered from the day he attacked his daughters, he was without remorse.

He explained that his

DAR turns over PHP72-M worth of farm equipment

TACLOBAN CITY, Oct. 29 (PNA) -– More than a hundred agrarian reform beneficiary organizations (ARBOs) throughout Eastern Visayas received farm equipment after the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) recently turned over 184 common service facilities (CSFs) amounting to PHP72 million.

Undersecretary for Support Services Rosalina Bistoyong, who led the turnover rites explained that these equipment were the recommended farm implements by the state universities and colleges (SUCs) commissioned by the Department to conduct the needs assessment and design assessment under the Agrarian Reform Communities Connectivity and Economic Support Services (ARCCESS) project.

Under ARCCESS, the government develops the capabilities of the ARBOs in becoming farmer-entrepreneurs, Bistoyong added, thus they provide them the necessary CSFs.

Meanwhile, DAR Regional Director Sheila Enciso discloseda continuous perimeter and an open central portion. The fibers are strung across the open central portion of the frame and the ends are embedded in the retainer thereby forming a wafer. The ends of the fibers are exposed at the outside surface of the retainer, giving access to the interior of the fibers, while the outside surfaces of the fibers are accessible in the open central portion of the retainer.
In order to obtain relatively high volume separation rates, membrane wafers are generally stacked coaxially so that the retainers bear on each other in sealing contact. Tight sealing of adjacent wafers is essential to avoid contamination of retentate and permeate.

A newly revealed historical film of a royal visit in June 1939 shows, in full colour, the city as it was when Queen Elizabeth and King George VI became the first reigning King and Queen to visit Canada.

City of Saskatoon archivist Jeff O'Brien said the movie shows a city that is "the same but radically different."

"Everything that you think is familiar is there but it's all kind of twisted and turned upside down," he said.

"So it really kind of jars our senses this way."

The flim illustrates the excitement surrounding the first-ever visit of a reigning monarch to Saskatoon.

It shows the path of the


royal tour, including the university and downtown Saskatoon, almost 80 years ago.

The city's downtown was decorated in red, white and blue in honour of the visit, and patients from the Saskatoon sanitarium were wheeled outside to see the royal couple pass by.

The material was donated to the city archives last year by the grandson of the man who made the movie, former Saskatoon mayor John Sproule Mills.

Mills, who served seven terms as mayor between the 1920s and 1950s, was an avid moviemaker.

Some of the buildings in the video are still standing, but the vehicles parked outside them today would be very different. (City of Saskatoon archives) O'Brien said the video is a "gem" because it is rare to see such high-quality footage of the city in that era.

"Firstof all it's in colour, which is a rare bird for home movies in 1939, so you don't normally see colour footage from that era," he said.

"It's also very well done."

The city recently digitized the video and shared it online to be viewed and shared by the public.

It was provided to the city as just one of more than 20 film canisters and hundreds of slides from Sproule's collection.

O'Brien said there are plans to digitize and share more of the films, including one titled This is Saskatoon, which was shot in the 1950s.

There is also footage of rural Saskatchewan and a hockey game in Moose Jaw, Sask., in 1941.


SYRIAN ARMY MAKES PROGRESS IN BATTLES AGAINST DAESH IN SWEIDA PROVINCE

DAMASCUS, The Syrian government forces are making progress in the battles against the Daesh terror group in the southern province of Sweida, the group’s last strongholds in southern Syria, a war monitor reported on Tuesday.

The battles are raging in the eastern and northeastern desert region of Sweida in a bid by the Syrian government forces to end the presence of Daesh in its last strongholds in southern Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Britain-based watchdog group said the army is advancing under intense fire cover from artillery and airstrikes in areas east and northeast of Sweida.

The government forces have also apprehended a Daesh fighter after midnight Tuesday during a suicide attack launched by IS ona position held by the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), which is a pro-Syrian government group.

The observatory said four members of the SSNP were killed in the suicide bombing, adding that the people in Sweida hanged the Daesh fighter that was caught in the midnight incident.

The situation in Sweida flared since July 25, when Daesh fighters launched a surprise attack on towns in the eastern countryside of Sweida and suicide bombing inside the city.

The attacks and bombing led to the killing of over 255 people, the highest death toll in Sweida since the beginning of the Syrian crisis over seven years ago.

The locals with the help of the army managed to push back Daesh, which kidnapped 30 people during the offensive.

The Syrian forces unleashed an assault on desert


areas east of Sweida on Sunday, managing to make progress amid fears for the lives of the hostages after the Daesh militants executed one of the abductees, who was a 19-year-old man.

The Daesh militants launched their offensive on Sweida to release the pressure on their comrades in the nearby countryside of Daraa.

The observatory said negotiations were taking place between Daesh and the Syrian forces for the release of the hostages from Daesh custody in exchange for the acceptance of the Syrian army to grant a safe passage for dozens of Daesh militants trapped in the countryside of Daraa near Sweida.

However, the negotiations have resulted in nothing but more confrontation as Daesh executed its first hostage on Thursday amid fears for the lives of the rest of the 30hostages.

The Syrian army seems to be determined to root out Daesh from the desert east of Sweida after the mass deaths of people during the July 25 attack.

Has Trea Turner already earned a contract extension?

As of Opening Day 2017, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson has accumulated 2.4 WAR in his major league career. He’s hit fewer than ten home runs, scored fewer than sixty runs, and stolen a mere ten bases. Of course, Anderson has only appeared in just under a hundred big-league games to date; the former seventeenth overall pick was promoted to the White Sox in mid-June of 2016. Even with this limited big-league sample size, this offseason the White Sox extended their young shortstop through his arbitration years. The six-year, $25 million contract also includes a pair of team options that could see Anderson in Chicago through 2024.
