Attacks rock two towns and a city on island of Mindanao, wounding at least 17 people including soldiers.

Explosions have rocked two towns and a city in the southern Philippines, wounding at least 17 people including soldiers, a military official said.

A hand grenade was thrown into a military truck patrolling Cotabato City in the southern island of Mindanao, with eight soldiers and four civilians sustaining injuries from the bomb’s shrapnel.

It was quickly followed by blast from an improvised explosive device (IED) in the nearby town of Libungan, wounding five civilians with one in “serious” condition, regional military spokesperson Major Arvin Encinas said on Sunday.

Another explosion took place in the neighbouring town in Maguindanao, although police were still gathering information on whether there were casualties.

No groups have claimed responsibility forthe attacks, which happened as the government moved to lift martial law on the island.

“We do not discount the possibility that Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters BIFF and Daesh-inspired groups are behind this,” Encinas told AFP news agency, referring to fighters with links to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, or ISIS).

There are several conflicts in the Philippines, including a separatist uprising in Mindanao that has killed some 100,000 people.

Though a landmark peace deal with the largest of the rebel groups, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, was sealed in 2019, a number of factions were not included.

Those groups include the ISIL-aligned BIFF and Abu Sayyaf, a kidnap-for-ransom gang that has been behind some of the nation’s deadliest attacks.

Two people were killed and 35 wounded in Cotabato


in December last year after a bomb went off outside a shopping mall, which was also blamed on ISIL-linked groups.

ISIL has stepped up a strategy of absorbing existing armed groups around the world as its “caliphate” crumbled in the Middle East.

Rising 634 meters above the densely packed capital, the tower’s sky kissing height makes it vulnerable to certain weather conditions. Its most common meteorological run-in is with the wind, and indeed this is why the tower was closed for business Monday. Strong winds can cause vibration and swaying of the elevators, one set of which rushes passengers up to the 350-meter deck in about 50 seconds.

But the snow is the main headache on the day after the storm, as the tower has its first major dealings with a wintry cold front since opening for business in May. To cope with the potential danger of falling white stuff, Tobu Tower Skytree Co., the operator of the tower, has mobilized its troops. It said it has dispatched about 60 securitythe capital and six nearby prefectures, according to state broadcaster NHK as of Tuesday afternoon.

A Tobu Tower Skytree spokesman said there have been no reported injuries or building damage caused by falling snow from the tower so far. But said there were four reported incidents around the Sumida Ward last year where it’s likely that snow from the tower smashed through the roofs of buildings as far as 200 meters from the landmark.

The operator has emphasized the fortitude of the steel frame-enforced structure against the elements. The tower was undamaged during the March 2011 earthquake, which hit when it was still under construction, and is said to be able to withstand the force of an earthquake comparable with the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.

Image caption Ross England has been suspended from his job with the Conservatives

A former Tory candidate has said it is "highly improbable" key figures in the party did not know about Ross England's role in a collapsed rape trial.

Luke Evetts, who is no longer a member, said damage to the party's reputation over the case was "significant".

Mr England was selected to stand for the Conservatives in the next assembly election months after he was accused of sabotaging the trial.

Top party figures deny knowledge of his involvement before this week.

Ross England, who also worked for the party, was suspended by the Conservatives from his employment and his candidacy this week after reports of the trial emerged in the press.

In witness evidence in April 2018 Mr England made claims aboutthe victim's sexual history, which she denies.

The judge in the trial, Stephen Hopkins, said he had "no doubt it was deliberate on [his] part, to sabotage this trial". The defendant, James Hackett, was convicted following a retrial.

"In my experience of the management of the party, I find it highly improbable that the key triumvirate of Byron (Davies), Craig (Williams) and Alun (Cairns) didn't know about Ross's actions," Mr Evetts said.

The former party activist, who stood for the Conservatives twice in Ceredigion and was chairman of the Ceredigion Conservative Association, added: "If they didn't, they are incompetent. If they did know, they must face the music."

Lord Davies of Gower, chairman of the Welsh Conservatives, has said that neither he nor Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns knew about the way the


trial collapsed.

On BBC One's Wales Live programme on Wednesday, former Conservative MP Craig Williams, who has worked in the party's HQ in Cardiff, said he had not known about what had happened until it was reported in the media this week.

Sources have told BBC Wales that Mr Cairns was informed about what happened at the trial before Ross England was chosen as a candidate in December last year.

Leaflets in support of Mr Cairns, and bearing Mr England's name in small print, were sent to homes in the Vale of Glamorgan on Thursday.

The Welsh Conservatives said: "The leaflets were printed and produced prior to the details of the case coming intothe public domain. Those leaflets have now been withdrawn."

The BBC has been told that Mr England was Mr Cairns' campaign manager until he was suspended this week.

The victim in the trial was also a former member of staff at the constituency office of Mr Cairns.

On Thursday, three days after BBC Wales reported the story, Lord Davies said he could "categorically state" that he and Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns were "completely unaware of the details of the collapse of this trial until they became public this week".


Not only will the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut its brand spankin' new flyweight division on March 3, 2012, at the UFC on FX 2 event in Australia, it will apparently also debut a "sudden death" round for those fighters booked in the 125-pound tournament to crown a new champion.

Demetrious Johnson, a participant in said tournament who will take on Ian McCall, told TapouT Radio (via Crooklyn's Corner) he signed a contract that included these details:

"I don't know if anybody has said anything about it, and this is the first time I'm mentioning it, is that we (McCall and himself) had to sign for a ‘sudden death' bout. If it goes to three rounds, and the judges can't decide who the winner is, then we'll do a fourthformula based on

Naked met mine, under the flowing gold

Stormzy's Gang Signs & Prayer has just become the UK's first grime album to reach number one.

For much of the week the chart race was too close to call, with Rag'N'Bone Man's Human giving Stormzy a run for his money.

But he clinched the top spot after notching up 69,000 combined sales of his debut album in its opening week.

Tinie Tempah's Disc-Overy is the only other grime-influenced record to have reached the top of the chart, in 2010.

"Honestly, I wish I could take every person who bought and streamed the album out with me, have dinner with them, dedicate a whole night to them," Stormzy said after


told the BBC.

"It was quite a niche job, so they had to train me up for 10 months. I was in the office, doing the quality checks. It was a lot of responsibility for the age I was."

But, as it turned out, it wasn't for him.

"The music was picking up, so I had to make the decision - project engineer or musician. I decided to take the music path and here we are."

2. He has made up with the Brit Awards

Image copyright Reuters

Last year, Stormzy criticised the Brit Awards for its lack of ethnic minority nominees in his track One Take Freestyle.

It led to the Brits chairman Ged Doherty inviting him to discuss how grime could be better represented at the ceremony.

"We had a very very constructive talk,he showed me the categories of eligibility, I told him how these could be improved," Stormzy said.

In turn, this year's nominations list was much more diverse, with four out of the five nominees for best male not being white.

(In the end, the only white nominee, David Bowie, won in that category. But still, baby steps.)

Stormzy himself was nominated for best breakthrough act this year and performed with Ed Sheeran at the ceremony.

The Brits appearance helped to give him a boost in sales this week - and he wasn't the only one. Emeli Sande and Bruno Mars also saw a huge increase in sales after their performances.

"I went to pick up my nephew from primary school and one of the teachers there stopped me and said, 'Yeah, my son listens to you'. That's quite an awkward thing. Quite surreal."

5. His album was self-released

We mentioned earlier that Stormzy took issue with the Brits for its previous lack of diversity, which perhaps speaks to a wider issue within the music industry about the struggle of grime to break through into the mainstream.

So Stormzy took things into his own hands, and released his debut album (the one that's just reached number one) through his own independent label Merky Records.

Technology reporter, BBC News Published duration 15 September 2010

image caption Sir Tim is also a champion of open access to government data

The inventor of the Web has called for everyone to have access to his creation for free.

Tim Berners-Lee said that he would like to see everybody given a low-bandwidth connection "by default".

He said the web could be instrumental in giving people access to critical services such as healthcare.

Currently, he said, just one-fifth of the world's population has access to the web.

"What about the other 80%?" he asked the audience at the Nokia World conference in London.

"I would like to see people enrolled in a cheap data plan by default. I would like them to get it for free."

Sir


he asked.

"Getting that message across in their own tongue on the web is something that isn't happening now."

He said access to the web could allow people to "create their own communities and share their own information" about health, agriculture and business.

"Not being a part of the information society is a really important thing."

He said that even a low-bandwidth connection offered for free via a mobile phone could make a difference.

At the moment, he said, connections were too expensive and were often taxed by governments.

He suggested that network providers could offer the free connections on the basis that people would become more affluent in the future and would then be wiling to pay for more expensive, higher-bandwidth mobile services.

"They will move up when they can," he said.

He admitted thathis authority as a procurator under the Roman Empire, ordered Him crucified.

After the death and the resurrection of Jesus, as He had predicted, official persecution of Christians continued. Here, for example, we have an example of how the Emperor Nero martyred Christians during the reign.

First, then, the confessed members of the sect were arrested; next, on their disclosures vast numbers were convicted, not so much on the count of arson as for hatred of the human race. And derision accompanied their end: they were covered with wild beasts’ skins and torn to death by dogs; or they were fastened on crosses, and, when daylight failed were burned to serve as lamps by night. Nero had offered his gardens for the spectacle, and gave an exhibition in his Circus,


mixing with the crowd in the habit of a charioteer, or mounted on his car. (from here)

Latter, what the Bible itself says about salvation — we accept salvation from Jesus as a free choice — and the diversity of religious beliefs in the United States led to only one logical conclusion. Christians decided their government, the government of America, must respect freedom of conscience (See An Act for Freedom of Conscience and Religion and the Founding of the American Republic.). Thus, as a nation, we established freedom of religion because of religious belief.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –Thatto Lowertown and infuse the city with renewed vitality."

Steven Johnson didn't have a job. So he decided to run for office.

Now, the self-proclaimed "Constitutional conservative" who calls U.S. Rep. Justin Amash his role model appears headed for the Michigan House.

In a 5-way primary Tuesday, Aug. 2, Johnson topped restaurant owner Tony Noto and a Kentwood schoolteacher who was backed by the DeVos family and the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce. The Wayland-area man won 30 percent of the vote, dominating in Allegan County to surpass the runner-up, Noto, by 509 votes.

"I'm shocked because I'm not supposed to win this thing," said Johnson, 25, who has campaigned six days a week since May. "We knocked on doors like you wouldn't believe. We had a goodmessage of strong Constitutional conservatism.

"I think it's a desire to get back to our Constitutional principles, our Judeo-Christian heritage. People are just kind of fed up with where we're going."

Johnson in November's general election will face Democrat Steve Shoemaker. The winner will replace term-limited state Rep. Ken Yonker, R-Caledonia.

The 72nd District, which covers Kentwood and Gaines Township, and part of Allegan including Wayland, leans Republican.

Johnson won 42 percent of the vote in Allegan County, 500 votes clear of former Kent County Commissioner Bill Hirsch and 600 votes ahead of Noto. Noto fared best in Kent County, but Johnson was only 93 votes behind.

"That area (of the district in Gaines Township in Kent County) was perfect for me, it really was," said Johnson, a South Christian High School alum

The chamber and the DeVos family supported Ryan Gallogly, a Kentwood schoolteacher who finished third, 700 votes behind. Hirsch finished fourth and Kentwood city commissioner Robert Coughlin was fifth.

Here's how Johnson responded to questions in MLive's Voter Guide. He vows not to raise taxes, opposes Common Core, wants to reduce business regulation and steer the state away "from the dangerous transgender policy that lets men into girl's locker rooms."

On March 6, 2003, the Defendant was arraigned and entered a plea of not guilty to the amended charge.
On April 14, 2003, a jury was selected to hear this matter. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged on April 15, 2003. On September 30, 2003, the Defendant was sentenced to serve ten years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence, with credit for time served for armed robbery. For use of a firearm during the robbery, the Defendant was sentenced to serve an additional five years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence to run consecutively to his sentence for armed robbery.
The Defendant filed a motion for appeal on October 7, 2003. The


on February 9, 2001. Additionally, Mr. Hendricks made an in-court identification of the Defendant at trial. It is the identifications made on February 8, 2001, and February 9, 2001 that are at issue herein. In brief to this court, the Defendant does not set forth any allegations that the in court identification was improper.
On two separate occasions, Jason Hendricks identified the Defendant as the man who robbed him. Jason Hendricks testified that after he was robbed on February 8, 2001, he returned to Domino's Pizza. Officer Chris Wright, who responded to a call reporting the robbery, overheard Mr. *831 Hendricks give a description of the perpetrator as a black male with a thin face, approximately twenty years old, wearing dark colored wind pants and a stocking cap. Approximatelythirty minutes after the robbery, Mr. Hendricks testified that Officer Wright presented him with pictures of three black males. Officer Wright showed Mr. Hendricks the photographs and instructed him to look at the photographs and make a decision as to whether he recognized any of the men as the man who robbed him. Mr. Hendricks identified the Defendant as the man who robbed him. On February 9, 2001, Officer Wright gave the photograph of the Defendant to Detective Marvin Hilton with the Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office. Mr. Hendricks went to the Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office on the same day and was shown a photographic lineup consisting of photographs of six men. Mr. Hendricks again identified the Defendant as the man who robbed him.
Prior to the close of trial,


the right front of the Defendant's face and the area where the Defendant reached down to pick up the money was very clear. Hendricks clearly saw the Defendant from the time the Defendant picked up the money until he jogged away, which was approximately forty to sixty seconds.
We find that Jason Hendricks had ample opportunity and time to view the Defendant *833 during the robbery and was able to give a description to police thirty minutes after the robbery.
Witness' Degree of Attention
Jason Hendricks testified that upon being employed by Domino's Pizza he was required to watch seven to eight videotapes. In those tapes, Mr. Hendricks was taught to remain calm and focus on the perpetrator's face during a robbery so that he could give a description of theperpetrator to police. Again, Mr. Hendricks testified that his view of the Defendant was not obstructed and the Defendant was six to seven feet away from Mr. Hendricks for approximately forty to sixty seconds.
We find Jason Hendricks' testimony indicated he had specialized training and paid ample attention to the Defendant's appearance at the time of the robbery.
Accuracy of the Witness' Prior Description of the Criminal
Mr. Hendricks testified that he described the perpetrator as a "black male approximately 6 foot tall, maybe he's just slightly taller, around 20about 20 years old, very thin, very thin faced, longer face, with very distinctive facial features" wearing "black nylon wind pants, a dark colored long sleeve sweat shirt or jacket and a navy blue stocking cap." Detective Steven Moss with the Vernon


Parish Sheriff's Office testified that Mr. Hendricks described the perpetrator as a black male, twenty to twenty-two years old, thin faced, and wearing black or dark colored wind pants, a dark colored, possibly blue stocking cap, and a dark colored long sleeve shirt.
We note Mr. Hendricks' description of the person who robbed him never changed. Additionally, Detectives Moss and Hilton testified that the description given by Mr. Hendricks matched that of the Defendant. Furthermore, Mr. Hendricks made an in-court identification of the Defendant at trial.
Level of Certainty Demonstrated at the Confrontation
Mr. Hendricks testified that he reviewed the photographs shown to him on February 8, 2001, very carefully so as not to falsely accuse anyone. After viewing the photographs, Mr. Hendricks was one-hundred percent positive that the Defendant wasdidn't have a prayer of actually paying for what collapsed.

This is the world Mitt Romney was playing in, at least after leaving Bain.

Ethically challenged Goldman Sachs not only filled much of Romney's overall investment portfolio, heavily invested outside the United States, it was also a prolific issuer of CDOs partnerships. These weren't sold to just anyone and not traded on major exchanges. With Bryant Park CDO, already delisted in Dublin, it's remaining equity assets were acquired in August by Citibank for 66 Cents on the dollar.

Bryant Park and Alpstar Capital established what are known as Master Feeder setups to make these investments attractive to the Mitt Romney's of the world. Using Alpstar as the example, the CDOs and credit derivatives would be purchased through a feeder unit in

Romney was deeply involved in these and other Goldman Sachs interests that helped create the problems -- and then sought to take advantage after the fact. And that clearly suggests he benefited in some direct way from the bailout of the financial industry.

Warren Buffet labeled these derivatives "“financial weapons of mass destruction."

Former trader Satyajit Das, in a fictionalized 2006 account of his life as a trader,"Traders, Guns, and Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivatives," argues: "No money is ever really made in financial markets. Markets merely transfer wealth. Asmodel fails, the profit will disappear like a chimera.“In 2002 and 2003, benign conditions in the credit market prevailed. Few companies defaulted; people became foolish or brave and lent to companies at ever lower returns; the credit spread on junk bonds reached record lows. Credit standards declined. “In 2004, one bank suffered a loss of around $50 million in a single day on its credit dealt books. Nobody really knew why: it was the first tremor.”

Das fictionalized his life, but not the reality he had seen but all the early warnings of the risk in the market were ignored and sometimes deliberately overlooked.

Mr. Turner with the Farm Geese

Photographic print in an album. Mr. Wayne Turner observes the two farm geese and their goslings on the farm property of the Turner Farm in LaFayette, New York. The barn and Bare Mountain are in the background. On the back of the photograph is handwritten, "Daddy with the goose family/May 1949."
This photograph is part of an album of the Wayne O. and Marion Turner farm which was in operation from 1945-1956 at RD 1, LaFayette, New York. It was first a chicken farm and then a vegetable truck farm. The Turner's sold produce at the Syracuse Regional Market during that time. After the farm stopped operating, the barn was re-modeled into The Syracuse Motel and part of the farm was soldlocal board, that it refused to be catechized by him, to establish a basis upon which he can present a claim that he has been denied, not an exemption to which he is entitled as matter of right, but a defendant which can be granted only if it is 'found to be equitable and in the national interest.'

Considered in its whole breadth, all that this case presents is an effort on appellant's part to maintain that, because he sincerely felt and believed, and furnished evidence which he believed showed, that his wife's condition presented a case of extreme hardship, the board was bound to accept his evidence and act upon his belief and, determining that this deferment was in the national interest, grant him the classification he demanded.any individual whose deferment is found to be equitable and in the national interest, taking into consideration the length of his previous service in the Armed Forces (including the Coast Guard and the Public Health Service) of the United States, the extent of his participation in the Army specialized training program or similar program administered by the Navy, reasons of hardship or dependency, and the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest.'

This invention relates to an electric motor assisted turbocharger, and in particular to a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine.
Turbochargers are well known devices for supplying air to the intake of an internal combustion engine at pressures above atmospheric (boost pressures). A conventional turbocharger essentially comprises an exhaust gas driven turbine wheel mounted on a rotatable shaft within a turbine housing. Rotation of the turbine wheel rotates a compressor wheel mounted on the other end of the shaft within a compressor housing. The compressor wheel delivers compressed air to the engine intake manifold. The turbocharger shaft is conventionally supported by journal and thrust bearings, including appropriate lubricating systems, located within a central bearing housing connected between the turbine and compressor wheel housing.
In known turbochargers, the turbine stage comprises


sitting affecting trunk alignment. However, a standing position can maintain the body's center of gravity in a vertical direction and increase changes in the nervous system and muscle strength in trunk, thereby improving muscle strength and balance[@r19]^)^. The present study result showed that upper extremity training in a standing position had a greater effect on trunk alignment by reducing thoracic kyphosis than training in a sitting position. Upper extremity training in a standing position strengthened trunk muscles while maintaining the body's center of gravity in a vertical direction and activated trunk muscles during upper extremity training thereby improving postural adjustment due to the effect on trunk alignment. Furthermore, it can help independent daily living through anticipatory postural adjustments as well as reducing the risk of fall.

For example, Environment Canada's meteorological services (Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC)) has used this criterion to better define and locate Montreal's hottest areas during a heat spell and to determine where the help and intervention by public health services may need to be prioritized. The MSC is implementing a 2-year measurement campaign of air temperature within the urban core of Montreal during the 2013 and 2014 summer seasons. These campaigns are conducted using 30 sites identified on the basis of their specific fraction of vegetation and land cover. In the first phase, data from the sites will provide estimates of recurrent differences between the air temperature observed at the airport and air temperature observed in

But on Jan. 15, he was summoned by the Interior Ministry to sign a statement saying he was not a member of the Jewish family that sponsored his entry into Israel.

Minutes after signing, Gebrai was arrested and thrown into prison for 20 days.

Ironically, the deportation proceedings were initiated by an Ethiopian Jewish clerk in the Interior Ministry whom Gebrai helped escape from Ethiopia.

Gebrai is convinced the campaign for his deportation was started by another family with whom he had a personal dispute.

With the help of his lawyer, Gebrai has been fighting the decree. But two major Ethiopian Jewish organizations, along with Knesset member Adisu Massala, who immigrated from Ethiopia, have shied away from the struggle.

has a 60-foot right of way and improved roadway known as South 144th Street, which extends from Des Moines Way South to 12th Place South. West of 12th Place South, the King County right of way is reduced to a 30-foot strip directly south of the subject property.
After this action was commenced, the county installed asphalt in its 30-foot right of way west of 12th Place South. The asphalt is 20 to 21 feet wide and extends southerly from the north line of the King County right of way, which is the south line of the subject property.
Primark Corporation (Primark) is the purchaser of the Scheda property. Closing of the sale is contingent upon Primark obtaining a building permit from King County for a multiple unit dwelling complexon the Scheda property. Under King County road standards, a 30-foot right of way would not be sufficient for access to the planned development. The required right of way would be between 48 and 60 feet, with a standard minimum right of way of 56 feet.[1]
*903 The record titleholder of the subject property is George F. Horton. A default order was entered against him. Horton originally owned the subject property and the parcel to the north which is now the Burien Gardens trailer park. In 1943, Horton transferred his ownership of the future trailer park property "less the south 30 feet thereof for road purposes". Later in 1943, Horton's grantee conveyed to a bank the same premises with the same exception, "less the south 30 feet thereof for


road". In 1959, P.G. Lund, the developer of the trailer park, purported to grant to King County 25 feet of the subject property for use as a public road, though by virtue of the above exceptions, Lund apparently never had title to it. Lund declared that at the time he developed the park and until he sold the property in 1969, he assumed that the subject property was dedicated to the public. He observed a narrow, primitive road that was used by Scheda and the park residents.
Since 1946, Scheda used the subject property for access to his fields for the cutting and hauling of hay. He also boarded horses in that field. The road was graveled and was sometimes rough, but was passable year around.
Scheda never asked permissionof anyone to use the subject property. He believed it belonged to the trailer park owners, since he observed persons residing in the trailer park using the road. After 1946, the roadway was wide enough for two cars to pass. Trucks bringing supplies into Scheda's lower field used the road. Persons for whom he boarded horses used the road. He also observed cars parking on the road at night, as in a lovers' lane use. Once for a period of approximately 1 year, a revival assembly group set up its tent on the property where the trailer park is now. Visitors to the revival assembly used the road.
In 1973, a sewer line was installed on the subject property pursuant to a King County permit.
Alvin Bennett currently lives on


the Scheda property, and has lived in the neighborhood since 1979. He has assisted Scheda with haying operations on the Scheda property, and has driven on the road in that connection. In 1979 it was a *904 level gravel road, with deep potholes. It was sufficiently wide for two lanes of traffic, and he had seen three vehicles abreast on it at times. He always believed it was a county road and never asked anyone permission to use it. He has seen many vehicles from the trailer park using the road.
Richard Schneider, a photogrammetric expert, reconstructed the width of the road based on a series of aerial photographs dating from 1966. In 1966, the road was "primitive" and was 5 to 14 feet in width. Encroachment into thesubject property from the King County right of way varied between 2 and 10 feet. In 1974, the encroachment on the most heavily traveled portion of the road varied between 9 1/2 feet and 13 feet. The encroachment on a less heavily traveled section varied between 18 and 19 feet. In 1977, the encroachment varied between 9 and 13 feet. In 1989, the encroachment varied between 11 and 13 feet. All of Schneider's measurements were subject to a variation plus or minus of approximately 1 foot.
Silvia D. White, a resident of the trailer park for 16 years, testified that most tenants in the park used the driveway, and that it was also used as a lovers' lane. She testified that the road was wide enough for two cars


and straddled what is now the northern edge of the asphalted portion within the King County right of way.
Robert Kruger, managing partner of Burien Gardens Associates, acquired the trailer park in 1984. An anchoring guywire on a telephone pole within the subject property is approximately 16 feet from the north edge of the asphalted King County right of way. The guywire anchor to the telephone pole was installed in 1977. A ditch running along the roadway in the subject property is approximately 13 to 14 feet from the north edge of the asphalt. There has been no change in the roadway edge since he has been the owner of Burien Gardens. His objection to the declaration of the county road is the increased traffic it would bring.

The 1990s produced a ton of millennial-friendly nostalgic relics, but none encapsulate the decade more than the movies of the Disney Renaissance. A period of time that stretched about ten years, the Disney Renaissance was a golden era of children's films that produced a flawless run of critically acclaimed animated movies like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King.

The only thing wrong with the way some people remember the Renaissance is that, in most cases, they only include the ten films that were produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation (now known as Walt Disney Animation Studios). In their oversight, they leave out a few gems like 1995's A Goofy


Movie, which is hands down blackest Disney film of that era, as once outlined by the site Black Nerd Problems.

Despite not being accepted by extremely picky Tumblr nerds as a Renaissance film, as it was produced by DisneyToon Studios, A Goofy Movie is largely considered a cult classic among black millennials.

Aesthetically, the cultural references in the film are clear. From the female protagonist being a light skinned girl named Roxanne, to the white boy named Bobby (voiced by Pauly Shore) getting in just as much trouble as Max, but somehow feeling way less worried about his parents finding out. The world this movie called its home definitely felt familiar for young black boys and young black girls. Even the way the characters' clothes were drawn felt undeniably hip-hop.Max's oversized hoody might as well have read "Hilfiger" across the front.

In the opening sequence, our adolescent hero is seen frolicking with bae through a wheat field in an all-white fit, looking like a young Ma$e, rocking what we now know to be a very fuckboyish haircut (akin to that of the dude from the "hurt bae" meme). Anyone who claims Max Goof wasn't an early depiction of #BlackBoyJoy is either a liar or a white person.

Emotionally, the film's plot also felt particular to the African-American experience, with the principal of Max's school calling his father, alleging the teenage boy sent his classmates into a "riotous frenzy" dressed as a "gang member," and advising Goofy to get a handle on the way he raises his son before he


ends up "in the electric chair."

Consequently, that silly response tore into an already flimsy relationship between a concerned father and his presumed "at-risk" son. Of the film's storytelling, director Kevin Lima once said "instead of just keeping Goofy one dimensional, as he's been in the past, we wanted to give him an emotional side that would add to the emotional arc. We wanted the audience to see his feelings instead of just his antics."

A Goofy Movie was pretty much August Wilson's Fences, except with talking dogs and a happy ending—an ending marked by Tevin Campbell performing a song in celebration of a father and son finally meeting "eye to eye," voicing a character that was actually created for Bobby Brown.

Like any epic tale, the story of how Disneyfound itself between Campbell and Brown when considering who would be the sole black actor in their first black film (we can't have it all) has multiple canons and timelines to consider—and they all start roughly around 1989.

With the success of The Little Mermaid that November, the Disney Renaissance officially began late that year. In rapid succession, a crab named Sebastian gave us "Under the Sea," Beauty and the Beast delivered an Oscar-winning song of the same name, Aladdin scooped Princess Jasmine up on a magic carpet and sang "A Whole New World" in what is easily the flyest moment in animated film history, and Elton John along with Tim Rice wrote five songs for The Lion King that will be sung on Broadway until the end of


time.

By 1995, the Renaissance was in full swing, and it was pretty much mandatory for the soundtracks to be as good as, if not better than, the movies—which led Disney to the crazy air-humping, pelvis-thrusting world of Bobby Brown.

During the first few years of the Renaissance, Brown was pretty much immune to taking Ls. By the time The Little Mermaid premiered, the child star turned sex symbol was fresh off the 1988 release of his biggest solo hit to date, "My Prerogative." As documented recently in BET's The New Edition Story, in the early 90s, Brown's sophomore album Don't Be Cruel was doing numbers, he embarked on a wildly successful tour with Al B. Sure! and his former N.E bandmates, and he married Whitney Houston. The man wastruly living his best life, which included being hired to voice the fictional pop sensation, Powerline, in A Goofy Movie.

In granting Bobby Brown the sound of its music, the most valuable and recoupable asset of their Renaissance era films, Disney reinforced the already sturdy merits of A Goofy Movie as a decidedly black endeavor.

In hindsight, given what we know of him now, choosing Bobby Brown to voice a children's character seems like a flawed decision. However, despite his antics and his troubles and his exploits, Brown had already proved himself a bankable choice for blockbuster jams in 1989, when he topped the charts with "On Our Own" for the Ghostbusters II soundtrack.

At the time, Disney stuck with Brown, hoping to duplicate that type of R&B success. Close to


the end of the film's production, however, the troubled star checked himself into The Betty Ford Center for drug and alcohol dependency, and Tevin Campbell was called to replace him as the voice of Powerline—as a result, the universe gifted us Campbell's magnum opus, "I 2 I."

While not much has been said of why Disney chose the now notoriously reclusive Campbell as Brown's replacement, one could imagine a fresh faced teen would be the next logical choice when your original R&B ambassador becomes addicted to cocaine and heroin. Having already sang "Happy Birthday" to Ashley Banks and been introduced to the world by Quincy Jones (also in 1989), Campbell possessed a unique blend of both teenage appeal and R&B sensibilities.

Today, black millennials are lucky Disney didn't panic, andinstead decided to stick with a patently black sound despite losing out on Brown—we could have gotten a sugary sweet Madonna song or something at the end of the film had they lost their nerve.

Admittedly, though, it's likely that part of the decision to stick with that black sound for this black movie had to do with how late in the game Disney was in making it when Brown's spot opened up. By the time Campbell laid his vocals, it was clear he was lending his voice to a character drawn in the image of his predecessor.

With his monochromatic space-suit, his asymmetric fade, and his flashy stage show, Powerline was already visually molded after Bobby Brown. As for his voice and his music, however, the character might have


actually benefited from the loss. While A Goofy Movie would have been just as black had it closed with a Bobby Brown song instead of a Tevin Campbell song, it probably wouldn't have jammed as hard.

Campbell's two contributions to the film's soundtrack, "Stand Out" and "I 2 I," were both produced, recorded, and mixed by David Z—a.k.a. the guy who engineered Prince's best albums throughout his 80s dominance, including Purple Rain. The connection between David Z and Campbell dates back to Campbell's work on Prince's Graffiti Bridge, having previously been a protégé of the Minneapolis legend around the time Brown was scorching and the Renaissance was starting.

Aside from the production of those two tracks being outside of Brown's lane, Campbell also had a more soulful and soaring singingvoice, better equipped to deliver the type of sentiment that comes with a black father and son reconciling their differences while stunting on the TV screen at the same damn time.

An exaggerated image of Bobby Brown's dynamic stage presence and keen knack for grandeur created a character so large and so black only a voice as big as Tevin Campbell's could fill its empty spaces.

The songs that Brown recorded for the film turned out to be a little softer than expected. Allegedly remixed and placed on his critically lamented and notably sensual fourth album Forever, Brown's Disney songs would have been better suited for an adult version of this film, where Max stays in town and kicks it with Roxanne at the house while Goofy goes fishing by

Arsenal's Olivier Giroud has been a divisive figure since arriving from Montpellier late in June last summer.

Part of the reason why he causes so much heated debate among Arsenal fans is that he tends to score in spurts. It is, therefore, as easy to jump on the bandwagon during a purple patch as it is to jump on his back during a barren run.

But, like it or not, he's really the only option Arsenal have at striker. Theo Walcott can, and has, played through the middle before, with varying degrees of success, but he is not a complete center-forward in Giroud's vein. The Frenchman's unteachable size and strength make him unique in Arsene Wenger's squad.

Thus, he is responsible for shouldering a great deal of Arsenal's goalscoringa few ticks and reduce the latter by the same margin to compete with the League's best.

Two numbers are particularly worrisome for Arsenal's handsome French striker. In what Opta calls the "Attacking Zone," Giroud has completed only 57 percent of his passes, and in the final third, that drops to 52 percent.

Compare this to Swansea's Michu, who has found his target in the Attacking Zone 74 percent of the time and in the final third 67 percent of the time. Clearly, Giroud lacks a certain degree of precision in his passes in what is, for him, the most important area of the pitch.

There is also evidence that he is less creative than his rivals.

Emmanuel Adebayor has created a "clear-cut chance" every 414 minutes, while Giroud takes 535 to


able to expect a converted strike from Giroud every 178 minutes he's on the pitch, which is fairly good. By comparison, Southampton's Rickie Lambert, who has scored two more goals on the season, has taken an average 11 more minutes to be able to celebrate.

Once again, though, Giroud has shown that he lacks the clinical touch needed by someone who plays his position.

Despite having the fourth-most clear-cut chances of any player in the League (19), he has only converted slightly more than 20 percent into goals—easily the lowest rate in the top 10.

He also has the fourth-best minutes-to-shot ratio in the Premier League, but has fewer goals than almost anyone else in that top 10.

The world as we know today sees the re-emergence of nationalism in a fashion that I had thought was in its demise.

I believed that nationalism was a phenomenon that would be tamed by multicultural understanding, multilateral cooperation of open states, the mutual enrichment of customs and the enlightened discussion about a tolerant society.

I was wrong.

I now see the rise of the right-wing in Germany, which is now in the German Parliament and, according to the latest polls, has overtaken the German Social Democrats and is ranked second behind Angela Merkel’s Conservative Party. This development is not only highly worrying, it is scary. At public gatherings the AfD party talk about “discarding” German politicians with migration background.

Kate Moss Named Britain's 'Model Of The Year'

Kate Moss was named Britain’s Model of the Year on Thursday, despite cocaine allegations that lost her millions of dollars in modeling contracts.

Moss, 32, won out over two other finalists, Erin O’Connor and Alek Wek, at the British Fashion Awards.

“Kate Moss is a fashion icon and without doubt one of the most prolific models in the industry,” the awards panel said in naming her the winner. “She has now been modeling for over 15 years and remains at the top of her game.”

The British Fashion Council refused to comment on the potential controversy of Moss’s nomination.

Moss lost contracts with H&M, Chanel, Gloria Vanderbilt and Burberry after the Daily Mirror newspaper published photos last year of her allegedly using cocaine at amusic studio where her boyfriend, Pete Doherty, was recording.

After the pictures were published, Moss publicly apologized and went to a drug rehabilitation clinic in Arizona. Prosecutors decided in June there was insufficient evidence to charge her. Since then, she has made a comeback, appearing frequently in fashion magazines and winning back contracts.

Still, some say giving an award to someone whose career has been marked by drug allegations sets a bad example.

“To me it’s baffling,” said Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos, speaking in Britain this week during an anti-drug campaign.

“Model of the Year” is an industry accolade for the British model who has contributed the most to the international fashion scene over the last year. Leading press, buyers and industry figures choose the winner from a shortlist compiled by


Emma Coronel Aispuro yearns for a calm life.

"(I want) to be calm, to be somewhere in the world where we can be at ease [...] I don’t dream of big things," said the 29-year-old former beauty queen. "Tranquility, happiness, nothing out of the ordinary".

But that is not the life she has had.

Coronel, the wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, now lives a life closely followed in the public eye and the trial of her husband, currently in federal courts in New York has led to unprecedented public interest inside and outside the United States, not only because of the charges against him, but also because of the legend behind the famous kingpin who is said to be the leader of the most powerful cartel inDelmonico said. “I believe that in the end, officer Barze will be absolved of any wrongdoing.”

ORIGINAL POST: A 23-year-old woman sued a Minneapolis police officer and the city on Wednesday, claiming that her civil rights were violated when the officer punched her during an arrest last June for failing to pay a taxi fare and left her “lying unconscious and bleeding in the street.”

The woman, Madelyn R. Milton, of Maple Grove, filed the lawsuit in federal district court Wednesday through her attorney, Robert Bennett, of Minneapolis. The suit maintains that the officer, Tyrone Barze Jr., used excessive force when he punched Milton in the face and knocked her unconscious as she tried to record him arresting several of her friends.

Bennett said Wednesday that the case revolves around “the


repetitive conduct of an officer who is really the kind of officer that Mayor Hodges talked about in her open letter to the communities of Minneapolis last October, who violates the public trust and who acts this way with impunity,” referring to comments Hodges made last fall vowing to root out cops who abuse their power.

The city attorney’s office, which represents officers in civil cases, and a police spokesman didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The lawsuit asserts that on June 1, 2014, Milton, a second-year doctoral student in physical therapy at the University of Jamestown in North Dakota, and a group of friends were returning by taxi from a night out when they started arguing with the cabdriver over a fare.

Barze arrived on the scene after thedriver called police and ordered the group to pay the fare, according to the suit. When two of Milton's friends pulled out their cell phones to record the encounter, the suit alleges, he knocked their phones away and placed them under arrest.

Milton claims that Barze confiscated her phone after she too started recording him and when she “took a step or two after Barze” to get it back, he turned and punched her in the face, “knocking her to the ground, where she struck the back of her head and she lay unconscious and bleeding in the street.”

She suffered a traumatic brain injury when she hit her head on the street, according to the suit, which is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

5,000 Puerto Ricans Still Homeless After 6.4 Magnitude Earthquake

In Puerto Rico, at least 5,000 people are living in shelters 1 month after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit the island, causing at least $110 million in damages and plunging nearly the entire population into darkness in a mass power outage that lasted for days and keeps electricity unstable every week.

Puerto Rico’s public power utility said that electricity has been almost entirely restored on the island. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who traveled to Puerto Rico, is criticizing the Trump administration’s lack of aid to the island after the earthquake and authorized the deployment of 115 National Guard members to the island.

Puerto Ricans living in New York City are also criticizing the lack of aid to the island and areJennifer Milward

Deku continues his menial routine of taking abundant notes on local big-shot heroes and especially eyeing his idol – The almighty All Might!!! (Yes, the exclamation points are necessary.)

When Deku is suddenly caught in the chaos of rescuing his rival from a hideous slime villain, All Might, upon witnessing his unwavering heroism, vows to train young Deku into a muscular man and eventually pass on his quirk to him (because his quirk relies on inheritance).

Flash forward past the months of rigorous training and it’s enrollment time – and Deku is intent on making the student roster. Not surprised to see his rival Bakugo sitting at the back of the classroom, Deku’s new life full of new friendships and hardships begins.

First off, Lilith-sensei is one of the teachers at Royal Biblia Academy, and as such is Arata’s #1 tease. She wields a magical rail rifle weapon and knows how to fire it quite well. I love the concept art of her character, red-braided hair with blue eyes and a monocle on occasion, as well as her hate/love relationship with Arata. The two get along well, and by the end, hold respectful positions with each other. Also, Arata loves her giant jugs – the best out of the Trinity Seven 😉

Levi and Akio act more like supports for Lilith and Mira Yamana (the cute yet stern tsundere leader) respectively, and as such are

Are you turning into your mother?

Eliza* was trying to get her struggling three year old daughter into her stroller when, to her horror, she heard herself saying words she had vowed never to utter - phrases her mother had used throughout Eliza's childhood. Despite all of her efforts to parent her own children very differently, Eliza found that those familiar sentences were the first to come into her brain and out of her mouth when she and her daughter were engaged in a difficult struggle.

Once it was a girl's dream to be just like her mom. Now it's more like every woman's nightmare. Yet it happens to us all. Like Eliza we hear our mother's words leaving our own mouths, or we look in a mirror and

India, the subordinate
country is known for its luxury in
culture and tradition. Speaking of the geography of India, the Northern side is
sheltered by the wide range of the huge snow clad Himalayas. The west is
covered by the Arabian Sea. The East is covered by the Bay of Bengal[go to link]

The
southern side is very unique as both these seas mingle with the Indian Ocean.
Kanyakumari
being an essential tourist destination of South India visit in the amount of
tourist and honeymooners have remarkably improved, giving in rise of the
quality infrastructure, services and most probably the world class
accommodation services offered by the Kanyakumari hotels.The name of this place has
been christened after the virgin spirit Kanyakumari Amman. Mythological stories
depict that Goddess parvati under the disguise of Devi Kanniya did a


penance in
one of the rocks in this area to make the hand of Lord Shiva. This place is
also a admired pilgrimage. The tourists who visit this southern most tip of
India would certainly enjoy the excited scenes of the sunsets, the sunrises specially
on full moon days. The nature of the sand in the beaches of Kanyakumari is
unique as it is multicolored.

Lakhs
of tourist, round the year are lured by the serene beauty of this place and the
spectacles of sunrise . But one can view both sunrise and sunset
throughout the year from atop a hill called Murugan Kundram which offers a
panoramic view of Kanyakumari. The sunset and moonrise can be seen almost
simultaneously on full moon days from the same spot. It is a unique
spectacle.

Besides
these world class facilities and services, the SunsetIt was over a February lunch of runny cheese, quince paste and bread that Betty Churcher showed me her unexpected find. A forgotten notebook of her drawings, hasty sketches made as she travelled through galleries of the world when director of the National Gallery of Australia.

The delight was multiple. She could rightly take pleasure in her skill as an artist. The sketched works were not favourites or deliberately chosen, they were chanced upon as she made her way to meetings where she was intent on securing loans for a planned exhibition in Australia. The sketches and marginalia record her fresh impressions of an artist or work she might not have instinctively turned to.

And now, with the discovery of this notebook in the middle of 2014 there was a


story of a line, a technique, or the personal situation of the artist. Simple, but profound. It was impossible not to gain a richer understanding of the work; to see it a little through Betty’s eyes.

You hear this voice, her emotional connection to art, in her three-volume compendium, Notebooks. The first was drawn in the great international galleries, the second on her herculean tour of Australian mainland galleries in 2013 – a task made possible by painkillers, the wheelchairs she sat in while she sketched and her sheer determination for the project.

It was more than a piece of writing, drawing and observation; it was a culmination of a career – and a life. She found energy in the moment to give a sell-out publicity tour, wearing stylish heelsto an unforgettable conversation with Ben Quilty at the Sydney writers’ festival (she wanted to ask the questions) and to an intimate lunch in Melbourne where it seemed everyone had a question for Betty.

She had intended Australian Notebooks to be her last book. But then she found that notebook hidden from the 90s. She drew to commit works to memory, to study in depth what the artists had done – the very least their work deserved, she said, as “it took the artist considerable time to make”.

Betty was a prize-winning art student but stopped painting because, as she wrote, she wanted babies more than anything and was unsure of her ability to be both a good mother and a good painter. “Better, I thought, to be good at


one thing.” It turns out she was more talented than she imagined. Teacher. Gallery director. Champion of art.

After our February lunch, Betty suddenly felt unwell. It was the week before the diagnosis of her final illness. She settled in her bed and I told her not to think about the manuscript. I rang when I landed in Melbourne to see how she was feeling. “Much better,” she said, and then started talking about the changes she was marking up on the pages.

Betty rang a week later to let me know she was in hospital, more determined than ever to finish the story of The Forgotten Notebook. That next weekend, her daughter-in-law, Andrea May Churcher flew from Cairns to sit by her bedside, reading out my queries and typingNow 9, Trixy Wuts walks around on her stumps, or wears a set of prosthetics made at the limb centre.

When 4-year-old Trixy Wuts had both feet amputated there were no children's books to help her parents explain the surgery.

Margot and Anton Wuts searched internationally for any kind of resource book to help their daughter understand amputation, but nothing was available.

Five years later the Hawke's Bay couple from Haumoana have written and illustrated the children's book called Little Jellybean, designed to support families with a child preparing for amputation.

Eva Bradley Photography Trixy Wuts experience having both feet amputated inspired mother Margot Wuts to write a book to help other children facing a similar experience.

It will be supplied free of charge when they visit hospitals or surgeons.

The project began when


the Amputee Society approached Margot to see if she would like to be involved in creating a resource for children in Trixy's situation.

She had wanted to write a book.

The society funded it, Margot wrote the words, Anton drew the pictures and their family became the story's characters.

The plot followed Trixy's journey.

She was born with a condition called arthrogryposis which resulted in severe foot deformity.

"It was horrific," Margot said.

"At two and a half years old [Trixy] had her first complete foot reconstruction, she could only walk for three weeks before her feet started reverting to the way they were before."

To keep her feet she required this same major surgery every two to three years until she turned 16.

Once the years of painful operations were complete Trixy would be leftwith very small feet, which had no movement, similar to a pair of prosthetics from 100 years ago.

Margot said amputation was different for each person, but for Trixy her feet were the source of so much pain during the first four years of her life that losing them was a relief.

"After the surgery she woke up and said, 'Mum I've got no feet'. It was Christmas for her," Margot said.

Little Jellybean followed her surgery and trips to the artificial limb centre in Wellington, where Trixy received her new feet and was able to try on shoes for the first time.

Now Trixy, 9, walks around on her stumps, or wears a set of prosthetics made at the limb centre.

The book had inspired her daughter so much Trixy had written


and illustrated her own home-made books about each member of her family.

Five years after her surgery she loved music, animals, gymnastics and dancing.

She grows out of her prosthetics every seven to eight months and she was looking forward to having special prosthetic legs one day for wearing high heels, running and swimming.

The book also contained a letter from Margot to other parents.

"It would have been amazing to have something like this before [Trixy's] surgery," she said.

"But there wasn't anything like this anywhere in the world."

She and Trixy attended an Amputee Society event in Christchurch last month where they helped launch the book and signed copies.and underground supporting structure.

Because of the very complicated motion sequence, a complex mechanism is necessary on and in the microtome. Openings into the interior of the microtome, which are often covered with movable sliders, unavoidably remain at movement interfaces. Small slits, gaps, and openings in the microtome housing likewise occur, as a consequence of manufacture, in the vicinity of the aforesaid functional regions.
To prevent infection due to the contaminated sectioning waste, operating personnel are forced to intensively clean and disinfect the microtome and, in particular, the operating elements ofWho were the Vikings?

We tend to think of the Vikings as a single phenomenal race of Scandinavian warriors, but the reality is more complex. Raids on the British Isles and the coasts of France and Spain were the work of Vikings from Norway and Denmark (Swedish Vikings set out across the Baltic Sea into Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia). The word Viking means one who lurks in a 'vik' or bay, in effect, a pirate.

The word 'Viking' has come to describe a whole new age in Europe between about 800 and 1150. This is despite the fact that Vikings were not just pirates and warriors but also traders and colonists. But at the start of the Viking Age in the last decade of the eighth century, loot and


adventure were the main goals of the Norwegians who raided in Scotland and Ireland, and of the Danes who attacked England.

Gold and silver treasures accumulated by the great monasteries could be converted into personal wealth, and thus power, and captives could be sold as slaves. What better way for the young sons of good families to earn their way and see the world?

'... examples of ... the 'work of angels' were looted and taken home by Vikings.'

The monks who recorded these activities could not know the origins of their tormentors, but discoveries of precious metalwork from Britain in Norway and Denmark are clues to where the Vikings came from. Decorative mounts from church plate such as the Ardagh Chalice could be removed and made into brooches, the restof the chalice melted down and the silver re-used. Such pieces have been found in pagan graves of around 800 in Scandinavia.

The Ardagh Chalice escaped this fate, but many other beautiful examples of what has been called the 'work of angels' were looted and taken home by Vikings. One exquisite reliquary box, made in the eighth century to hold a saint's relic, became a Norwegian lady's jewellery casket in the tenth century, when an inscription in runes was carved on its base - 'Ranvaik owns this casket'.

Neill Blomkamp is currently in the process of developing his next film project, RoboCop Returns, which is going to be a direct sequel to the original 1987 Paul Verhoeven-directed film.

This movie is based on a script that was written years ago by RoboCop's original screenwriters Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner. That movie never happened due to some issues. Justin Rhodes, who co-wrote the upcoming Terminator film for James Cameron and Tim Miller, will rewrite a script that Neumeier and Miner wrote years ago which was originally a planned sequel to Verhoeven’s hit.

Now Neill Blomkamp is teasing the return of Peter Weller, who played RoboCop in the original film! When a fan asked the question of who should play RoboCop in Blomkamp's sequel, the director himself responded with, "PeterKkk Essay Research Paper Michael VieiraSociology51200The Ku

The Ku Klux Klan

The KKK is a movement that has been very controversial since the Civil War. The Klan as they call themselves was created as a result of the occupation of Federal troops in the South. The KKK’s purpose at the time


was to provide the people of the south with the leadership to bring back the values of Western Civilization that was taken from them. In the 1920’s the Klan had its most popular era. At this time the KKK was the most active politically then it has ever been in history. The KKK still exists today as a brotherhood and a new White racial community that lives and functions by the ideals it promotes. Today the Klan is in its 5th era and continues to be America’s oldest and most effective White Christian Fraternal organization.

The Klan stands for many things: The White Race, America First, (First before any foreign or alien influence or interest, and a foreign policy of military non-intervention.) The Constitution, (As originally written and intended.The finest system of government ever conceived by man, who is based on the Holy Bible and Christian Common Law.) Free Enterprise, (Private property and ownership of business, but an end to high-finance exploitation. We advocate economic nationalism and we oppose the Federal Reserve Bank and so-called “free trade”.) Positive Christianity, (The right of the American people to practice their Christian faith – including prayer in schools. Many Klan members and supporters are involved with the growing Christian Identity religion, which continues to unite the Christian Patriot Movement in the United States.)

The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is a fraternal, patriotic movement promoting the ideals of Western Christian Civilization and White Racial political self-determination. It is a duly incorporated, non-profit, legally recognized institution, working to rebuild our
