In ascribing his father's caste to Rohith, the statement filed by the police is seeking to discredit the life-long struggle of not only Radhika but many such mothers in our society. It is also re-legitimizing an irresponsible and callous father who deserted his infant children and wife, leaving the destitute mother to take care of and raise the children.

Radhika has described in detail her life long struggle as a single mother, as an abandoned wife in an inter-caste marriage and her lived experience as a Dalit woman. She was ill treated in her marriage by her in-laws and suffered domestic violence as a wife. But without losing resolve she brought up her children as a single mother. Rohith's and


his brother's lives were shaped by her love, labour and dedication. In a single stroke, this statement wants to delegitimize her many years of struggle as a single parent (and struggles of scores of other women) and reinstate the rule of patriarchal caste hierarchy by making the cruel and unjust claim that a child belongs to the father's caste even after he has abandoned the family.In fact, Rohith's absent father was brought into the story after his death to claim that his deceased son, who he has not met in two decades, was a Vaddera. The local Vaddera association also gave a statement that Rohith was not a Dalit. The Home Minister made a statement on the floor of the Telangana state Assembly that he was not aDalit.This is in total contrast to what Radhika had to say. She has clearly stated that as a deserted woman she and her sons lived among the SC community and she brought up her children in their midst.

Rohith has written about the caste discrimination that his mother and he suffered. Throughout his all too short educational life, Rohith held a certificate issued by the Collector of his district, stating that he was S.C. His lived experience, his social identity and his membership of Ambedkar Students' Association clearly demonstrate his identity as a Dalit. Even in his death he chose to identify as a Dalit. By slotting Radhika and Rohith into the category of the wife and son of an upper caste man, this entire social experience of Rohith's

Music Diplomacy: Communicating in a Universal Language

We broke new musical ground with two innovative programs, CenterStage and OneBeat. CenterStage brings performing artists from Haiti, Indonesia and Pakistan to perform in 60 small and mid-sized cities, giving Main Street America a chance to experience international culture without stepping on a plane. Meanwhile, OneBeat brings 32 musicians from 21 countries -- including the United States -- to eight East Coast cities to collaborate and make new music together.

That tradition continues with this year's American Music Abroad, which will send twelve American musical groups to travel abroad to over 40 countries. These musical ambassadors perform and teach younger and underserved audiences in countries with limited access to American arts. The groups represent the full range of our rich musicalheritage from hip-hop and bluegrass to country and jazz, to rock and even Hawaiian slack key guitar and hula!

Music diplomacy connects people around the world in a way that official diplomatic channels cannot. Our common interests, values, and passions open the door to individual conversations and broader connections between communities that are otherwise disparate. That's why, for over 60 years, the United States has sent American artists abroad to share their talent.

These programs are not just tours, but true cultural exchanges. They connect Americans to the citizens of dozens of countries and give international artists the chance to engage with communities across the United States. In every case, performers reach audiences onstage as well as offstage by hosting community gatherings, discussions, master classes, and workshops.

When you meet Americans,


you meet American values, and what better way to introduce the world to us than through the universal language of music?

Shakespeare and Schiller

By Alexander Hill Everett (17901847)

[Born in Boston, Mass. Died in Canton, China. From Life and Writings of Schiller in Critical and Miscellaneous Essays. 1845.]

IN fact, though the names of Schiller and Shakespeare are often cited together, the two writers have hardly any points of resemblance. They belong to two different periods in the progress of poetry. Shakespeare has all the exuberant fulness, the fresh and joyous flow of thought and feeling, that appertain to an early literary age; and the fetters of general principles and conventional rules hang about him very loosely. At the slightest temptation he breaks through them with perfect nonchalance, and shakes


them off, like dew-drops from a lions mane. Nay, he often, in the wantonness of power, seems to take delight in setting all forms at defiance, and bringing into one picture the most incongruous images in art and nature, as in the last act of Hamlet. In Schiller, on the contrary, we recognize the established empire of taste, against which genius itself in a polished age does not venture to rebel. The form predominates over the substance. There is no playing with conventional rulesno mixture of prose and verse, of tragedy and comedy in the same sceneno puns in the midst of pathos, or instructions to stage-players given by a tragic hero at the height of his distress. The execution is pure, chaste, and polished, and even inbetween these two poets is as great in the substance, as in the form of their works; and in this respect, also, each of them wears the stamp of the age in which he lived. Shakespeare gives us the simple and true impression of nature, as observed and felt by himself. In Schiller we generally get it at second hand, through the medium of books, and deduced from vague generalities. Shakespeare, too, is rich in the most profound and curious general observations upon every branch of moral science; but with him they seem to be instinctive conclusions of his own acute sense, while in Schiller, on the contrary, we trace them at once to be the common fund of the philosophical knowledge of his time; and are rather


Redondo Beach man will guide NASA's Curiosity to Mars landing

When NASA's Curiosity rover breaks through the atmosphere of Mars and enters the final descent of a journey stretching more than 350 million miles, guiding it down - so to speak - will be an engineering team led by Keith Comeaux, a Redondo Beach resident who has been working on the $2.5 billion science project for six years.

Comeaux will be flight director at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on Sunday night when the rover, about the size of a small car and stocked with research equipment, touches down on the rocky surface of the cold, red planet.

For Comeaux, Curiosity's mission to Mars is another milestone in a life marked by a fascination with flight and space travel.

"I was pretty youngthrough quite a lot," Comeaux said by phone from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory facility in La Ca ada Flintridge. "It's pretty rewarding to be here at the end of the road."

Since the launch, Curiosity has been traveling through space and is expected to approach the planet at a speed around 13,000 mph.

Comeaux's team is charged with a crucial job: getting the 2,000 pound rover gently down to the planet's surface.

The Cruise/Approach engineering operations team has spent that last few weeks checking landing systems in preparation for the tricky final descent.

Just before entering the atmosphere, the rover will separate from a capsule that carried it to the planet.

Curiosity will endure up to 12 G's as it flies through the atmosphere toward the planet. About 7 miles from the surface,


a large parachute will deploy. When the rover is a mile from the surface, the parachute will be cut loose. A jet pack with eight rockets will then guide the rover farther down to the surface. About six stories in the air, the jet pack will release the rover on a 25-foot-long nylon tether.

The rover is then expected to hit the ground at a gentle 2mph.

"The (rover) is packed up into the air shell like a cocoon. After we land, it's going to be free of that and will really be able to stretch its legs and do what it's designed to do," Comeaux said. "A lot of us are looking forward to that."

Awaiting Curiosity on Mars will be the rover Opportunity, which landed in 2004 and isDonald Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE may have put in a less-combative performance during the fourth GOP debate Tuesday night aired on Fox Business Network, he remained atop several unscientific online polls after the event.

Lown did not give up a run in three appearances in the 1959 World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

As the story of the Sơn Đoòng Cave goes, “local farmer Ho Khanh was walking along a stretch of lush forest within the heart of the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park … It was an area that he had passed many times before and he was not paying any particular attention to his surroundings when suddenly the jungle floor opened up beneath him and Mr. Khanh only barely managed to hold on as the ground crumbled beneath him.

It took a year for explorers Howard and Deb Limbert to even reach the end of the cave passage after their progress was stalled by a large 200 ft high calcite wall which was nicknamed The Great Wall of Vietnam. On the other side of the wall, they found a ‘field’ of rare abnormally large cave pearls described as the size of baseballs.

facts of this case that Judge Maddock was acting as a de facto agent of the interrogating

detectives. She arrived with them at the hospital room, where the appellant was already

under the guard of law enforcement. The first thing she told him was that the detectives

wanted to “speak” to him. She then pointedly and exclusively informed him of his Fifth

Amendment right to counsel for purposes of custodial interrogation, and, after he invoked

it, nevertheless asked him whether he “still” wanted to talk to the detectives—though she

would later acknowledge that he had not told her, up to that point, that he did want to talk to

them. In other words, by all objective indicators, Judge Maddock was doing her utmost to

facilitate the appellant’s immediate subjugation to custodial interrogation.

I was living outside of Chicago and just started digesting all the books I could. I had never before read history for pleasure. I got a business degree at Michigan State a few years later—Hotel and Restaurant ManagementGettysburg, and explored the battlefield with what little time I had. I sold the restaurant to Gettysburg College in 1995, worked there for a few years and then for Thomas Publications, which specializes in Civil War books. In the meantime, I met my future wife on Gettysburg’s town square, published (with Tim Smith) Devil’s Den: A History and Guide(1997) and started working on more books. I got my Masters in History from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania in 2002 and then I really entered the history world. After an 8-year stint at a historical consulting firm in Rockville, Maryland, I started working for the Civil War Trust as Director of History and Education, about a year and a half ago. I am still a Licensed Battlefield Guide and I


regularly speak to Civil War groups. I have now written, co-authored or edited more than 30 Civil War-related books and articles.

GA: The Center was founded in 1999 and I have served as its vice president for more than a decade. The Center aims to teach people the whos, whats, wheres, whys, and hows of Civil War Photography. We aim to collect digital copies of, place into context and make available every outdoor Civil War photo ever recorded. We hold an annual seminar at various battlefields every year and this October we are focusing (excuse the pun) on the Western Theater, at Chattanooga. Space is still available!

the city recreation center named for the former mayor. “I thought this book would especially be geared toward people new to the region or people too young to have voted for him.”

“Forever Young” includes a short biography of Young and a fact about him for every day of the year, ranging from his birth to his election as mayor and major events during his tenure.

It also includes excerpts from some of his notable public statements. One was in 1952 during his appearance before the U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee, in which Young, then a union official, stood up to questioners, challenged their pronunciation of the word "negro" and at one point said, “You have me mixed up with a stool pigeon.” Another was the 1993 news conference inwhich he spoke frankly about his time in office after announcing he wouldn’t seek a sixth term.

Later this summer, Coleman said, he will begin a project to record audio and video oral histories from people who worked for or with Young and others who knew him best, in preparation for a documentary on him. Coleman also is in discussions with educators about creating a curriculum for social studies or history classes in metro Detroit public schools.

The projects are tied to the centennial in May 2018 of Young’s birth.

One person who knew him and shares his name — and some say resemblance — is his son, state Sen. Coleman Young II. He said he has yet to read "Forever Young,'' but agreed that there are many facets of his


father's life that the current public may not know, such as “how incredibly generous and open and kind he was. He had such a loving heart.

"Behind the scenes he was a thoughtful, loving man and a really good father,” said Young II, 33, adding that the rumors that the two of them did not have a relationship are untrue. "He did have a relationship with me."

Love him or hate him, Mayor Young was an enduring figure in southeast Michigan. He was a hero among black Detroiters but often scorned by white suburbanites. Coleman, the author, said that with time, Young’s legacy has begun to emerge as much more nuanced and fair to him.

Whites may have viewed him as something of a black nationalist, Coleman said, but Young wascomfortable in the halls of power in Lansing — where he was a state senator representing the east-side neighborhoods, including Black Bottom where he grew up — and making deals with captains of industry and forming coalitions with people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

He was politically liberal but managed the city’s declining finances as a fiscal conservative, slashing thousands of jobs during his tenure as the city hemorrhaged jobs and residents and kept the city’s debts at manageable levels.

“He called himself a radical pragmatist,” Coleman said. “There was a method to the madness, at least in political terms.”

Young was never afraid to call out racism where he saw it. Coleman said that was a product of his upbringing in a Detroit where the Ku Klux Klan burned


St. Mary's Catholic School in Greektown for grade school. There he helped to start a Boy Scouts troop.

2. Young graduated from Eastern High School in Detroit at age 16, one of only a handful of blacks in his 1935 class.

3. As a member of the 477th bomber unit of the U.S. Air Force, Young in April 1945 helped to lead a demonstration to racially integrate an all-white officer's club.

4. President Jimmy Carter offered Young an opportunity to become U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the late 1970s. Young turned down the offer.

5. When Young died in 1997, he left behind an estate with assets worth about $500,000.

[Warning: This story contains spoilers from the entire first season of Netflix's GLOW.]

The first season of GLOW was designed to feel like an origin story.

Netflix's female wrestling series took its time introducing and forming its characters — both in and out of the ring — during its first nine episodes. The story built to a big finale in the tenth and final half-hour: creating the pilot episode for what would go on to become the first-ever female wrestling TV series.

"It was definitely intentional," co-creator Liz Flahive tells The Hollywood Reporter of the pace of the story. "We came in with that season shape early on, and it helped." Her partner, co-creator Carly Mensch, said the pair did not write GLOW with a specific number of seasons in mind,


even though the syndicated series from which they drew their inspiration aired for four seasons (from 1986-1990).

"Part of what we talked about as storytellers is that once the women know how to wrestle, you can’t go back in time," continues Flahive. "Unless we were going to make a time-traveling show where we focused on how they learned how to wrestle," she adds jokingly. Which is why the pair, after stumbling upon a documentary about the original women of GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, built all of the characters in their GLOW world from scratch.

Mensch has written on Orange Is the New Black, and that show's creator, Jenji Kohan, is also an executive producer on GLOW. But instead of leaning on flashbacks for its storytelling like the prisondramedy, GLOW found actresses who didn't know how to wrestle and followed them from the start as they learned the TV sport both on- and off-camera.

“You will have to learn how to wrestle — are you up for that?” was a question on the audition notices when Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and the 12 other female stars who make up the GLOW ensemble tried out for their roles. The group trained for four and a half weeks before filming began with wrestler-trainer Chavo Guerrero, Jr., and continued training while filming so they could perform their own stunts.

"The women learning how to wrestle was a big part of the show," says Flahive. "There is so much comedy in the women learning something new. Taking our time and being able


the things they had already learned."

Aside from the fate of the wrestling series, the biggest burning question for season two centers on the friendship at the center of the show. Though Brie and Gilpin's characters bonded through the shared experience of wrestling, Gilpin's Debbie Egan is still not ready to forgive Ruth Wilder (Brie) for having an affair with her husband.

"It’s so telling that the main betrayal and the most pain that Debbie felt was the loss of her friendship and not the loss of her marriage," Gilpin tells THR. "That was the hardest thing for her, and that’s pretty telling about how powerful female friendship can be."

Gilpin says Debbie, who is unaware that Ruth got pregnant from the affair and decided to have an abortion, is notbe received by relator after the divorce as "retainer pay" by virtue of relator's status as a member of The United States Naval Fleet Reserve.
In the divorce decree the court ordered a division of the community property of relator and his wife, and recited that relator's entitlement to the "retainer pay" was an "earned property right owned by the parties' and was community property, ½ of which should be awarded to Mrs. Sutherland.

Lane Processing's account was reflected on Geldermann's records and, when selecting the type of futures agreement under which it would be operating, Lane Processing agreed that its futures account would be a 'hedge' account, which signified that Lane Processing would maintain a position in a commodity to offset or balance its position in the futures market.  During the next several weeks, Lane Processing became a short seller4 of substantial futures contracts in corn, soybeans and soybean meal.  However, Lane Processing's trading in futures was speculative in nature since it was long on only an insignificant number of broilers tooffset its numerous short futures contracts and the short futures were far greater than its corn and soybean inventory.5

The price of grain advanced rapidly in November and early December of 1972.  The rules of the Board of Trade required customers to maintain a certain margin on their accounts.  Lane Processing, by signing a commodity signature card when it commenced futures trading in 1969, agreed to properly margin the account.  With the advancing market Geldermann was forced to make a number of margin calls on Lane Processing's account.  Clift Lane was accustomed to meeting these margin calls by mailing a check to J. W. Nutt Co., which would in turn forward the check to Geldermann.  The result was that a check would not clear


the telegram Lane contacted Nutt to state that he did 'not keep that much money just laying around' and that it would take a while to obtain it.  Lane testified that Nutt contacted Geldermann and received approval for Lane to continue sending checks.  Nutt testified that he did not recall contacting Geldermann on this matter or informing Lane that wire transfer of funds was unnecessary.

After the closing of the market on December 12, 1972, Lane received a margin call of $206,000.  Lane Processing had lost approximately $830,000 in the first twelve days of December and members of the Geldermann firm convened a meeting to discuss Lane Processing's account in light of its substantial losses and margin deficiencies.  Tom Geldermann, president of Geldermann, then contactedwould be liquidated.  At 9:30 a.m. Geldermann commenced liquidation of Lane Processing's account and all purchases had been consummated by 9:50 a.m. at a loss to Lane Processing in excess of $1,000,000.  It was subsequently determined that Lane Processing owed Geldermann $86,960 as a result of the balance due after liquidation.  This figure was subsequently reduced to $23,013 after Geldermann offset profits from Lane Processing's nonregulated commodities account against the balance due.  Geldermann commenced the present litigation to recover this reduced amount.

In its counterclaim Lane Processing contended that the basic terms of the commodity signature card and the provisions of Rule 209 of the Chicago Board of Trade, incorporated in the signature card agreement, were unconscionable and hence unenforceable, and that the liquidation of


reinstatement of the Lane Processing account could have been performed in minutes, Lane did not attempt to reinstate the account after he was notified of its liquidation at 10:00 a.m. on December 13.

30
Lane contends that he possessed confidential information that the market would drop during trading on December 13 and that his losses were substantially increased because he was not able to capitalize on this information.  Although it is true that the bearish market news (soybean embargo) would have temporarily improved Lane Processing's short position so that Lane Processing could have minimized its loss by one-third if it liquidated at the opportune time, it is equally apparent that if Lane Processing had persisted in its short position during that current marketing year, its losses could have exceededcost them £3,000,000.

Since 2000, the council has been marketing the estate for sale to private companies.
The latest of these is an attempt to turn the Castle into an hotel and the Park into golf courses. This is being fiercely contested by "The Friends of Elvaston Castle" on behalf of the local community.

The £3,000,000 repair work needed in 2000 was not performed; the continued lack of funding from the county council has led to much of the country park and estate to fall into disrepair. The castle is in need of considerable restoration and is not open to the public; since 2008 has been listed on the Buildings at Risk Register.

For most of American history, that office conveyed authority, dignity, and some measure of majesty upon its occupant. The great presidents—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts—came to be viewed not merely as capable executives but as figures of myth: They were heroic, selfless, noble, godlike. Time has a way of burnishing reputations. But as late as the middle of the last century, Americans were inclined to view even incumbent presidents with reverence. Faith in the presidency may have reached its apogee soon after the Second World War. The public generally trusted Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower to be honest and well intentioned and to put the interests of the nation above their own.

It is no coincidence that the last president to inspire such trust was also the last presidentelected before the Vietnam War began in earnest. Kennedy’s charisma, and his military bona fides, encouraged Americans to believe in their young president as he confronted a complicated and dangerous world. His promise, in his inaugural address, that the United States would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty” reinforced Americans’ vision of their country as a muscular force for good around the globe.

As president, Kennedy immediately faced the challenge of how to use that power. He refused to send American troops to secure a pro-Western government in Laos. But after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and having been bullied by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at a summit in Vienna, he


Cephenemyia stimulator (Diptera) infection in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) from Kraków area, southern Poland.
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of botfly (Diptera: Oestridae) larvae infection in roe deer populations (Capreolus capreolus) in the Kraków area on the basis of necropsy and questionnaire surveys. Hunters were surveyed about the age and sex of hunted animals, and the origin of their habitat. All parasite specimens were identified to species in the laboratory. The parasites were found in the nasal cavities, esophagus, and larynx of male roe deer aged 3-8 years, living in forest habitats. The level of infection was relatively low (13%), with the intensity ranging from 1 to 10 larvae per host. Although no fly larvae were found during the dissection of roe deer carcasses,Posts Tagged ‘Trieste’

After Ulysses was published, legends began to swirl about Joyce. In a letter to his brother Stanislaus, Joyce catalogued some of his favorites. He was, variously and simultaneously, an Austrian spy, a cocaine addict, the founder of dadaism, and a Bolshevik propagandist. Joyce wished his life were so exciting. Intrigue and peril, for him, meant avoiding the landlord on rent day. He had benefactors and creditors in equal number, and his novel had been written on the run, as his family moved, or fled, from apartment to apartment in Trieste and Zurich and now Paris.

During his first years in Trieste, Joyce decided that he was a socialist. He believed in the redistribution of wealth, but only insofar as the wealth came his way. He was a


this kind of irrational behavior. Joyce understood it completely. Hence the books they wrote.

On May 18, 1922, the English novelist Sydney Schiff invited Joyce to a supper party for Stravinsky following the performance of one his ballets. Joyce arrived late and found everyone dressed in formal clothes, of which he owned none. To cover his embarassment, he began to drink. Then Marcel Proust walked through the door. He was wearing a fur coat. This was a legendary moment. What did the two greatest novelists of the 20th century talk about when they were introduced?

Proust: Do you like truffles?

Joyce: Yes, I do.

And that was pretty much it. There are competing stories about what was actually said that night, but this one is the best.

Segway Robotics has collaborated with the Stanford Research Institute to produce two RMP-mounted systems. The M7 telesurgery robot uses the RMP 50 Omni and can defuse a bomb with the same precision as a highly trained EOD technician, and a water cannon for remote control fire fighting. The M7 was designed for complex and delicate operations that may require remote control, such as emergency surgery in contaminated environments, or work on hazardous materials. Although not conceived as an EOD tool, it is well suited to the miniscule dismantling movements that bomb defusing often involves. With the M7, soldiers can take apart improvised explosive devices (IEDs) effectively without exposure to physical harm.

Segway is also developing an RMP with a water cannon for remote fire fighting. Theis known in the Jewish tradition as the protective hand of God.

Watch: Exclusive '25 April' Trailer Animates New Zealand's WWI Invasion of Turkey

Leanne Pooley’s “25 April” is set to tackle the World

War I story of New Zealand’s involvement in a brutal campaign that sought to

knock Turkey — a German ally — out of the War, and a new trailer prepares audiences for its premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film

Festival.

The official synopsis reads: “’25 April’ is an

innovative feature documentary created to bring the story of the New Zealand

experience at Gallipoli (Turkey) to life for a modern audience through a

re-imagined world. Using graphic novel-like animation, ’25 April’ brings First

World War experiences out of the usual black-and-white archive pictures and

into vibrant, dynamic color. Weaving together animated “interviews” based on

the diaries, letters and memoirs of six people who were actually there, the

filmtells the compelling and heart-wrenching tale of war, friendship, loss and

redemption using the words of those who experienced it.”

For New Zealand, the campaign bears great significance, so much so that April 25 is a public holiday of remembrance. The year 2015-16 was designated by the New Zealand Government as a year of wide-ranging centenary commemorations, of which the film honors.

“25 April” will premiere at the 2015 Toronto

International Film Festival. Take a look at the trailer above.

both of the first electrodes 41 of the two ends of the fluorescent tube 40. Both of the second electrodes 42 of the two ends of the fluorescent tube 40 are connected to a mains power (Vac), wherein the ballast 52 is connected between the mains power (Vac) and one of the second electrodes 42.
After power is provided from the mains power, a switch 50 of the starter 51 is closed. The mains power (Vac) through the filament 43 generates a high temperature for performing an ionization of the noble gas in the fluorescence tube. During the ionization of the noble gas, electrons and the mercury (Hg) vapor are generated to react with ultraviolet light. A visible light is generated after the fluorescence glue absorbs the ultraviolet lightgas, and the weight of the star crushes all that hydrogen down towards the middle, where temperatures reach somewhere around 15 million degrees Celsius. These incredible temperatures cause the hydrogen atoms to fly around so fast that they slam into one other with enough force that they fuse, producing an atom of helium, along with some energy.

A star like our Sun converts roughly 600 million tonnes of hydrogen into helium every second. With just one gram of hydrogen containing 602,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms, when tally everything up, the little bit of energy released by each pair of atoms fusing turns into A LOT OF ENERGY. This energy is absorbed by the outer layers of the Sun, turning them into churning circulations of hydrogen, and this outward force keeps the star


most expensive, and probably the most promising fusion project in the world is ITER - the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.

Located in the south of France, this multinational effort has already been going for decades now, slowly evolving over the years into its present state. The goal of ITER is to build a Tokamak reactor, which will produce a giant magnetic bubble, shaped like a doughnut, that will be used to confine a volume of heated, electrically charged gas, known as a plasma. Keeping the plasma away from the sides of the container, while it is heated up to 150 million degrees C (by something like lasers or acoustic waves), the Tokamak will act as the "containment field" for the fusion of the plasma particles to take place in.

NFL teams, including the Bengals, are hesitant because of Smith's performance before the 2012 season. He battled a variety of injuries and weight issues during his first two seasons in the league. The issues were significant enough for the Bengals to place a weight clause in his rookie contract—one in which he would lose money if he was caught weighing over 350 pounds (per ESPN).

The various issues with Smith were so great his first two years that the Bengals elected to not pick up the option on his contract, which would have kept him on the roster through 2014, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Ride-hailing app GrabTaxi received $350 million from a pool of Chinese investors that includes China's state-owned China Investment Corporation and Didi Kuaidi, the largest taxi-hailing app service in China.

GrabTaxi was founded in Malaysia as MyTeksi in 2011, and is now headquartered in Singapore. It rivals Uber in Southeast Asia, and operates in countries like Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.

This funding injection brings GrabTaxi's total funding to $700 million, said the company. It got $250 million from Japanese telecom firm Softbank in December 2014.

GrabTaxi said the money will be used to continue to expand geographically and hire engineering talent. It's also testing different services in the region, such as a courier service in Bangkok and a motorbike taxi service in Vietnam. These funds would go toward its experiments.

LONDON – Official statistics show that Polish is the second-most spoken language in England and Wales — a result of the wave of immigration that has brought nearly 1 million Eastern Europeans to the U.K. over the past decade.

Britain's Office of National Statistics says that Polish is considered the "main language" for nearly 550,000 people, or roughly 1 percent of the population.

Because statisticians only began asking questions about foreign language use in the most recent census, there are no past figures with which to compare those published Wednesday.

Yoga guru Swami Ramdev today claimed that "any one who masters the art of yoga can never become a terrorist". Not a single person who has mastered yoga ever became a terrorist in history, he added.

Speaking at the India TV conclave 'Vande Mataram' here, Ramdev said, "a terrorist or a suicide bomber normally has a "dyslexic problem" because he is brainwashed to the core. On the other hand, a person who has learnt yoga believes the world is his family. For him, all religions and God, in all His manifestations, are the same."

In the same breath, the yoga guru called for a "war between India and Pakistan". "So many of our


jawans have been martyred. They have attacked us so many times. Why not a war to end all such attacks? We should conquer Pak Occupied Kashmir and merge it in India."

"We should support Balochistan independent movement and break Pakistan into three parts."

He also called for a boycott of all Chinese goods in India, saying that China was fully backing Pakistan in its terror activities. "We can easily outpace China and become a superpower."

Can common characteristics be identified as predictors for seasonal influenza vaccine uptake in pregnancy? A retrospective cohort study from a South London Hospital.
Complications due to influenza are contributory factors for maternal deaths in the United Kingdom (UK). Less than half of all pregnant women in the UK receive the influenza vaccination. Increasing immunisation rates for seasonal influenza in pregnant women must remain a public health priority. A retrospective cohort study was undertaken, utilising the electronic health record of 4817 women who had given birth at a South London NHS Hospital from 1st January-31st December 2015. The data were then analysed to determine if there were any common characteristics of the women who received or did not receive the seasonal influenza vaccination.

Three years later, the Amsterdam side faced the same opposition, but not a single name from the first meeting was to be seen on the Ajax team-sheet.

KLAASSEN Full name: Davy Klaassen Date of birth: February 21, 1993 Place of birth: Hilversum Height: 5ft 10.5in Position: Attacking midfielder Clubs: Ajax (63 apps, 14 goals) Country: Netherlands (1 cap)

That is perhaps testament to the flurry of exits from the Dutch capital every close-season. This summer saw the departure of the last Ajax players to have made their debut before De Boer’s appointment. Siem de Jong, Daley Blind and Kenneth Vermeer all left the club;


two for the proverbial greener pastures of England, and one for arch rivals Feyenoord

The inevitable loss of key, stand-out performers means that, every July, De Boer starts with voids in his starting XI. Yet, somehow, every May we see the emergence of a new starlet to fill the gap. This regenerative quality to the club has been of paramount importance in ensuring consistent success - in the Eredivisie at least – and as the two most important figures in De Boer’s four-peat both left this summer, a host of youngsters have yet again risen to the occasion.

Davy Klaassen

The young Dutchman (pictured, top) made his debut way back in 2011 and scored within seconds of coming on. Klaassen, with all the promise he showed, would have been integrated intothe first team sooner had it not been for a near career-threatening groin injury that sidelined him for eight months.

His return coincided with the departure of Christian Eriksen, as well as early-season injuries to Siem de Jong and the original Eriksen-replacement, new arrival Lerin Duarte. Once De Boer took the decision to draft him into midfield, there was no looking back for Klaassen.

In a mere season, Klaassen, of whom Johan Cruyff is a long-term admirer, has now not only established himself in the starting XI of Ajax, but on the back of the summer’s departures, also established himself as a true leader in the side, despite still being only 21. Naturally a technically-gifted attacking midfielder who can also function up front and likened to Dennis Bergkamp, Klaassen has


really evolved in the last two years.

A better comparison would perhaps be Chelsea’s Oscar, as Klaassen brings an abundence of energy and tackling to the Ajax trio in midfield that often consists of two No.10s and one defensive midfielder. He has become more of a dynamic central midfielder, with a natural intuition in pressing and the ability to position himself well when he loses the ball.

He scored 10 times in the league last season and was seen as more of a goalscoring midfielder than a particularly creative one, a la ex-team-mate Eriksen. However, he has adapted his game again this season and at the time of writing led the Eredivisie assist charts with seven.

If he can both score and create on a regular basis, Klaassen will shine astimes invisible. Inconsistency and a failure to really grasp the first team chances he was given meant the prophecy of Andersen replacing Eriksen was delayed and delayed. Until this season, of course.

The young Dane is now finally making his name in the Ajax first team, initially being used out wide but now settled in an attacking midfield role.

When he goes forward, he goes forward with a purpose and, against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, he seemed like the one Ajax player who could fashion a chance to score.

He still lacks physicality and that would improve his chances in one-on-one duels, but the player Marc Overmars once likened to Michael Laudrup has an air of elegance about him. He possesses the kind of silky skills on the ball that


his first Oranje call-up and impressing on his national debut.

Since then, Veltman has become irreplaceable in the Ajax first team.

The 22-year-old – who in his first conversation with Louis van Gaal talked about his family’s chickens – is phenomenal in attack for a defender and as Blind sat back last season to cover for him, Veltman went on 49 dribbles in the league last season from the centre of defence, completing 44. While his long-distance passing might not be as good as Moisander’s, Veltman can pick out a pass or two, though he loves his mazy runs more.

Defensively, Veltman needs more consistency and the ability to read a game/opponent better. For all his positives, his entire profile is undone by the fact he tends to switch off attimes and make errors in crucial positions around his goal. He has adapted his game to cover the loss of Blind this season, venturing forward far less than last term.

Moreover, Veltman benefited last season by playing alongside Moisander but as the Finn’s form has been poor this season, the Dutchman has grown in stature as a strong presence at the back and seems to be gaining maturity. Mistakes like the sending-off against Barcelona are flaws that Veltman will have to patch up under the tutelage of Jaap Stam at Ajax, and once he does, he could well develop into a stylish centre-back.

Anwar El Ghazi

EL GHAZI Full name: Anwar El Ghazi Date of birth: May 3, 1995 Place of birth: Barendrecht Height: 6ft 2in Position: Winger Clubs: Ajax (18


apps, 5 goals) Country: Netherlands

The star of Ajax’s pre-season, scoring eight goals in around 150 minutes of football, El Ghazi was a standout performer for the Ajax A1 side last season. De Boer deemed it enough for him to be included in Ajax's first team squad for this season and the Dutchman of Moroccan origin has – as the cliché goes – not looked back since.

Rejected by Feyenoord at 13, El Ghazi has had his share of setbacks, despite being just 19. The skill was undoubted, but questions were regularly raised over his consistency, mental attitude and, for a small period, even his weight.

However, he strived to improve himself and after a spell with Sparta Rotterdam, he was snapped up by Ajax in 2013. Rotterdammer by birth ornot, the teenager did not think twice before putting pen to paper with the Amsterdam club, having apparently been an Ajax fan from childhood.

El Ghazi slowly started racking up impressive substitute appearances in the early weeks of the season, assisting on his league debut against Vitesse and then scoring away at AZ. Having earned himself a start against title favourites PSV in the next match, he met a brilliant ball from Davy Klaassen and netted again.

Since then, El Ghazi has fully established himself as a unique threat in Ajax’s attack. For the best part of the opening half an hour at home against Barcelona, El Ghazi was running the show in attack for Ajax, having declared he wasn’t scared of taking on Jordi Alba.

Best of the rest...

The Queen actor is all set to blow out 28 candles on her starry cake today. And we could notmore interest on the GT300 side of things – 30 cars, made up of 23 FIA GT3 models, four JAF-GT300 original designs, and three JAF-GT Mother Chassis, representing a total of twelve manufacturers.

GT300 ENTRY LIST >>>

Among the GT300 entries is a team that returns to the series after two years’ absence, BMW Team Studie x CSL. As a partner with Goodsmile Racing & Team UKYO, Studie won the 2011 GT300 Championship, and then as an independent team, have won two GT World Challenge Asia GT4 titles – the teams’ title in 2018, and the drivers’ title for Jukuchou Sunako in 2019.

2004 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Seiji Ara, who raced for BMW Team Studie from 2014 to 2017, returns after spending last year with McLaren Customer Racing


Japan (Team Goh Motorsport) alongside IndyCar-bound Alex Palou.

Ara will be joined by a new teammate: Tomohide Yamaguchi, the reigning Porsche Carrera Cup Japan Gentleman Class Champion. The 46-year-old has only been racing since 2017, yet is making rapid progress as a true amateur.

The top non-Japanese team in GT300, Hong Kong’s X Works Racing have switched back to their more familiar Audi R8 LMS GT3, one of two R8s in the 2020 field alongside that of Audi Team Hitotsuyama.

Fresh off his debut LMP2 campaign in the Asian Le Mans Series, Shaun Thong will return as X Works’ lead driver, joined by Super GT newcomer, 44-year-old amateur Alex Au.

Last week, Audi Team Hitotsuyama announced their plans, with a wholesale driver change, and a new business partner – as Team LeMans,after two decades as a Toyota factory team in the premier classes of GT500 and Super Formula, take on the new challenge of vehicle maintenance and trackside operations for Hitotsuyama Racing.

The 2020 Super GT lineup for Audi Team Hitotsuyama is anchored by “super rookie” Christopher Mies. The 30-year-old Audi ace is no stranger to success – two Nurburgring 24 Hour victories, back-to-back Bathurst 12 Hour victories, and series championships in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, ADAC GT Masters, and Australian GT Championship.

And 27-year-old Shintaro Kawabata, the last driver mentored by the late racing legend Keiji Matsumoto, is back in racing after a year out. Kawabata last drove for Team Taisan in 2018, and got the nod for the new-look Audi Team Hitotsuyama based on past experience


Cover vs. Original

C'Mon everybody

This song has been covered so many times, and although the original is great, the cover by the one and only Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols has a real powerful sound, that Cochran couldn't give it.

As an early rock pioner and THE punk icon, both character played important parts in their fields. Both tragically killed at just 21, this song, either the mellow but jazzy eddie version or the punk rock version by Sid, this song is a gem, enjoy.

Eddie Cochran1959

Comments about C'Mon everybody:

Eddie had so much to give to the music world. Its a true shame he died so young. He was so great than what he did made him a legend already. Eddie forever!

- Annie, Montevideo, Other - South America, 26.02.2011

Itwas the manager of the sex pistols, that was the Eddie Cochran fan. Had it not been for Malcolm Maclaren then the Pistols would never have recorded any 50's material. You only have to look a tee shirt, designed by Malcolm to see that listed under loves, is the name Eddie Cochran. As it happens I think Eddie Cochran's original is a cracker. And it is worth noting that this song original title was "lets get together" this first take is not as good though.

- P.Holmes, Newhaven, England, 17.10.2010

Eddie Cochran was a brilliant guitarist,a fantastic singer and also at such as young age was a music producer.

The Sex Pistols? Rebels with a cause, making a buck, just like Eddie Cochran. But hey, at least Eddie wrote the song,

Amazon Music is growing faster than Spotify

Amazon Music Unlimited may have appeared late – in 2016, two years after Apple Music was launched. But the popularity of Amazon's echo sounders gives it an advantage, as it now has a foothold in an increasing number of households. The company has reportedly been working on an echo version of Echo, which can compete better with Sonos speakers and attract more users to streaming services.

Amazon has also found the following among older subscribers. According to Steve Boom, head of Amazon Music, about 1

4 percent of Amazon Music subscribers are 55 or older. By comparison, only five percent of Spotify users fall into that age group. "We're not fighting for the same customers as everyone else," Boom told the Financial Times .I developed a love of reading and language at a young age, and have been doomed to uncontrollable eclecticism ever since. My earliest interests were in the sciences, but I soon discovered that this passion for reading and writing was best expressed in the humanities. After a brief fifteen-year career in dance throughout which I continued to consume literature and language voraciously, I returned to school for literature degrees. Even in that pursuit I was distracted by the variety of interests that took me, and I ended up with degrees in women’s studies as well, both for the subject itself and for the far more challenging breadth of material and interdisciplinarity that department offered and even encouraged. Once again distracted by all the world had to offer, I
