For its basketball pedigree? Not so much.

Donte DiVincenzo always wanted to become a professional athlete. But as with many Delawareans, his favorite sport was soccer.

When he started to concentrate on basketball, shortly before high school, the decision was unpopular. There have been only 16 athletes inducted into the state’s sports hall of fame for basketball. Three were referees.

But Delaware’s basketball chops have never been stronger, now that two products of the First State are competing in the round of 16 of the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament: DiVincenzo, the sixth man for Villanova, and Trevon Duval, the starting point guard for Duke.

       who allege that the Agency unlawfully seized their property without affording due
       process of law. Plaintiff Bauserman received unemployment compensation from
       October 2013 through March 2014. In October 2014, the Agency sent Bauserman
       and his former employer, Eaton Aeroquip (Eaton), a questionnaire regarding
       suspected unreported earnings that Bauserman received while he was receiving
       unemployment compensation. Both Bauserman and Eaton responded that
       Bauserman had not worked for Eaton at the time. On December 3, 2014, the
       Agency sentfrom Eaton
       explaining that Bauserman received one payment in 2014 for work performed in
       2013 but was not employed by Eaton during the time he was receiving
       unemployment compensation. Finally, on June 16, 2015, the Agency intercepted
       Bauserman’s state and federal income tax refunds.

             On September 9, 2015, Bauserman filed a putative class action against the
       Agency in the Court of Claims, alleging that the Agency had deprived him of his


initially been determined eligible on the basis that he had been laid off by
his employer, Fifth Third Bank (Fifth Third). However, Fifth Third challenged
that determination, alleging that Broe voluntarily terminated his employment to
attend school. The Agency then sent requests for information to Broe regarding
his eligibility for compensation, and on July 15, 2014, it sent two notices of
redetermination to Broe, the first claiming that he had received compensation for
which he was ineligible because his termination of employment at Fifth Third
“was voluntary and not attributable to the employer,” and the second claiming
that he had intentionally misled the agency or concealed information from it to
obtain compensation that he was not eligible to receive. As a result, the Agency
informed Broe that he owed $8,302 in overpayments, penalties, and interest.

2015, the Agency issued two notices of redetermination, reversing its July 15,
2014 redeterminations that Broe was ineligible for compensation and had
committed fraud. The Agency has since returned all monies seized from Broe.

         Williams started working at Wingfoot Commercial Tire System in May
2011. When his employment with Wingfoot began, Williams was receiving
unemployment compensation from a previous employer. Williams alleges that he
advised the Agency that he was now receiving wages from Wingfoot, yet his
unemployment compensation had not been altered; Williams believed that he was
still entitled to unemployment compensation because his wages from Wingfoot
were less than 1½ times his weekly compensation. See MCL 421.48(1). The
Agency sent Williams a request to provide information regarding his employment
with Wingfoot.


the main forum, there is a link to vote on your top 50 dolphins players of all time.

I remember as a kid the dolphins went to the playoffs for the first time in the 1971 season, They had to play the mighty baltimore colts in the first round. the game was not televised in the miami area, however a closed curcuit satellite feed was avalible at the miami beach convention center. my dad and uncle were original season ticket holders, and the took me to the closed circuit showing of the game.from the opening kickoff to the final whistle it seemed that the entire crowd was on their feet cheering every hit, every run and every big defensive play {several ints by anderson and scott} when the gamebad ***. He wasn't exactly the nicest guy to talk to but boy was he a player...

I think the earlier poster was a tad generous with Czonka's size, I think Larry was about 6'3' 235 not 255. He was a monster none the less and this is a great thread!!

Actually, I have read elsewhere that Csonk was closer to 260 than the the listed 235. In those days it was uncommon to have a huge back. When Csonka would weigh in (for the team's media guide) they would do it after practice in training camp (after he dropped water weight). If Csonka was ever listed at 250 or so, he would have been considered "too fat" for an NFL running back (I know he was a full back


but the FB position in those days was so much different than most FB's now). The closest thing in today's NFL to csonka is Brandon Jacobs and he isn't worthy to carry Csonka's jock.

Another fullback that can be slightly compared with Czonka is Mike Alstott. He is no longer in the league but he was a beast too. Not as much as Larry but he was still pretty tough to bring down.

Tehran has been embroiled in an escalating war of words with the United States over stricter U.S. sanctions, which have cut its oil exports and tightened global supply.

A fifth of global oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz from Middle East crude producers to global markets.

“With rising tensions between Iran and the U.S., and with significant naval build-up in the region, markets are sensitive to news and can be tipped by the smallest signs of a conflict,” said Mihir Kapadia, chief executive of Sun Global Investments.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said on Tuesday that world demand for its oil would be higher than expected this year as supply growth from rivals including U.S. shale producers slows, pointing to a tighter market if thea few different options walk wise ranging from a half a mile pushchair-friendly option to 6 miles of tramping through Chartwell country.

Hills

1)Box Hill, Tadworth, KT20 7LB

Managed by the National Trust, and now famous for being part of the 2012 Olympic road racing event, Box Hill is the summit of the North Downs. If you fancy a day out kite flying or blowing the cobwebs away with a hilly walk and a top-of-the-world view this is the place to come. Orchids and butterflies are easy to spot here too. The site has an excellent natural play area, café and multiple self-guided walks that make exploring the big outdoors easy for all ages.

Woods

2)Staffhurst Woods, Grants Lane, Oxted TN8 6QR

Ancient Staffhurst Woods is one of the best places in the UK to see bluebells in spring, though it is very pretty all year round. The woods are remains ofa wardrobe into the land of Narnia. Chipstead Downs and Banstead Woods have recently carved out C.S. Lewis’s magical world into a nature trail. Children can meet many of the characters from the story including Aslan the lion. This new feature marks the launch of the Downs as a Local Nature Reserve, for its preservation of ancient woodland and chalk grassland – both rare and in decline across the UK.

Water

7)Wey and Arun Canal, Loxwood, RH14 0RH

Billed as ‘London’s lost route to the sea’, the Wey and Arun Canal originally provided a route from London to Portsmouth for goods travelling to and from the dockyards. The Canal links up the waterway from Guildford to Pulborough. Although derelict until 1970, it now is one of prettiest places to go walking


or cycling (traffic free) in Surrey, and an abundance of wildlife can be spotted including herons and kingfishers.

Heathland

8)Wisley Common, Old Lane, Cobham, KT11 1NA

A very special 800 acres of lowland heath and woodland that is home to many rare birds and a wide range of aquatic life, including dragonflies and damselflies. A wonderful place to explore for the bug and bird lovers in the family. There is a useful café with baby changing facilities and parking located off Old Lane.

He took a while to warm up, unsure of what on earth seaweed was, and what this strange yellowy squishy stuff was beneath his feet. But then he loved it. He became more adventurous in the water too, going deeper into the waves then rushing back as the water came in - lovely to watch.

The 1993 Harrods bombing occurred on 28 January 1993 when a bomb exploded near the Harrods department store in London, England. At 9:14, two telephoned warnings were issued, saying that two bombs had been planted: one outside and one inside Harrods. The store was due to open at 10:00. Police cordoned off the area and began a search. However, some bystanders ignored the police cordon. At about 9:40, a package containing 1 lb of Semtex exploded in a litter bin at the front of the store. It injured four people and damaged the shopfront. The cost of damage and lost sales was estimated at £1 million. Harrods was previously targeted in 1974 and 1983, but the 1993 bomb was much smaller than the 1983 one.

"They don't make men like him anymore. He was definitely one in a million," said Debbie Godwin, a daughter.

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams has said Stephens apparently chose Godwin at random.

Law enforcement nationwide were on high alert in the hunt for Stephens, Williams told reporters Monday.

"This is what we would consider a national search for Steve," Williams told said. "So, we are not going to leave any stone unturned."

The suspect's mother said that when she last saw Stephens on Saturday, he said it would be a miracle if she ever saw him again. They spoke the next day, she said, and he told her he was shooting people because heis a black male who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 244 pounds. He was last seen wearing a dark blue and gray or black striped polo shirt. He was driving a white Ford Fusion with temporary license plates, Cleveland police said.

"He is considered armed and dangerous, so we want people to be careful out there," Williams told reporters.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to Stephens' arrest.

Horrific footage

Steve Stephens

The investigation and search for Stephens began Sunday after several people reported an alarming Facebook post, Cleveland police union president Steve Loomis said

Stephens uploaded a video to his Facebook page showing a gun pointed at a man's head.

Seconds before the shooting, Stephens asked the victim to say the name of a woman believed to


associated with the suspect.

"She's the reason why this is about to happen to you," Stephens said.

Then, the gunman fires the weapon. The victim recoils and falls to the ground.

In 911 calls release by Cleveland officials, a woman screamed: "He's dead. He's laying there. Oh Lord have mercy."

Minutes later, in another call, a man said: "Somebody's right in front of my house that's dead, been shot."

The video was posted about 2 p.m. Sunday. Facebook later took it down, calling it prohibited content.

"We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.

Stephens claimed on Facebook that he committed multiple homicides, but police said they had nobe a miracle," she quoted him as saying.

Green learned about the shooting when her youngest son told her about the video.

She was "just dumbfounded" and called Stephens. He told her he was "shooting people" because he was "mad with his girlfriend" of about three years, she said, explaining it was a brief phone call because her phone died.

The woman believed to be associated with the suspect has told multiple news agencies that she was "overwhelmed" by the tragedy.

"Steve really is a nice guy... He is generous with everyone he knows. He was kind and loving to me and my children," she told CBS News.

Williams said police have spoken to her, and she is safe and cooperating with the investigation. The woman's neighbors told CNN that Stephens often stayed


with youth and young adults. He had previously worked as a youth mentor, she said.

Beech Brook was closed Monday "for the safety of our employees," Kortemeyer said. "At this point, we'll just be closing today, but we'll take it day by day."

Victim was 'a good man'

Robert Godwin was walking on the sidewalk when he met Stephens.

He was on his way home from an Easter meal at his children's home when he was killed, CNN affiliate WOIO reported.

Brenda Haymon, Godwin's youngest child from his first marriage, said he was a father of 10.

"Helived a good life. He's a man people should model themselves after," she said.

Godwin was also a quiet man. He surprised some family members when he recently spoke at a daughter's ordination, a granddaughter said.

Brittany Rodriguez, the granddaughter, recalled how she and a cousin videotaped the rare public speech.

Mexican authorities say the number of mainly Central American migrants who were detained in April has risen by 79% in comparison to the same month last year.

Figures released by the Interior Department on Thursday show that 20,564 migrants were detained last month, compared to 11,486 in 2018.

Of those detained, 14,970 were deported.

Overall, detentions in the first four months of 2019 were 17% above the same period last year.

But even at that rate, Mexico appears to detain less than one-fifth of the migrants who are crossing the country to reach the U.S. border.

The department said there had been "a very notable increase" in the number of Central Americans, mainly Hondurans, entering Mexico this year.

                         OPINION

FLOYD, Circuit Judge:

   Petitioner Dario Suarez-Valenzuela is a citizen of Peru who
entered the United States without inspection in 1999. After
Suarez-Valenzuela was convicted of petit larceny, the govern-
ment issued an Administrative Order of Removal. Suarez-
Valenzuela was able to apply for protection under the Con-
vention Against Torture (CAT) because he expressed a fear
that Peruvian government officials would torture him if he

was promised items in exchange for his appearance, he never
received them. Suarez-Valenzuela complained to Jason, who
spoke with Bazzo. When Bazzo refused to provide the items,
Suarez-Valenzuela and Jason threatened to report her to a
rival television station.
                 SUAREZ-VALENZUELA v. HOLDER                  3
   After Suarez-Valenzuela and Jason threatened Bazzo, four
men in a white van approached them to intimidate Jason.
Each of the men possessed weapons and badges identifying
himself as a police officer. Suarez-Valenzuela recognized one
of the men as Luis, a police officer who allegedly worked for
Bazzo. The men began arguing with Suarez-Valenzuela and
Jason, and Luis hit Jason withhis gun. Jason fell, injured his
head, and died moments later. Luis then shot Suarez-
Valenzuela in the foot.

   Following the altercation, Suarez-Valenzuela was taken to
the hospital and remained there for nearly two weeks. Police
officers visited him at the hospital and offered him money in
exchange for his silence regarding the circumstances of the
shooting. Suarez-Valenzuela refused to accept their offer and
told the authorities that Luis killed Jason.

   The police asked Suarez-Valenzuela to testify at Luis’s trial
for Jason’s murder, and Suarez-Valenzuela agreed. Several
months before the trial, Luis stabbed Suarez-Valenzuela in the
chest to prevent him from testifying. Nevertheless, Suarez-
Valenzuela ultimately testified against Luis, who was con-
victed and sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment,
although he served only three months of that sentence.
Suarez-Valenzuela testified that he does not know whether
Luis remained


employed as a police officer following his con-
viction.

   After his release, Luis went to Suarez-Valenzuela’s moth-
er’s house in an attempt to find Suarez-Valenzuela. Luis
allegedly "destroyed" the house. Suarez-Valenzuela initially
went to live with his grandmother in order to avoid Luis.
Although Luis did not confront Suarez-Valenzuela at his
grandmother’s house, Suarez-Valenzuela continues to fear for
his safety because he believes that the police can use a
national identity database to locate him anywhere in Peru.
Suarez-Valenzuela left Peru for the United States in 1998 and
illegally entered the United States in January 1999.
4               SUAREZ-VALENZUELA v. HOLDER
   Following Suarez-Valenzuela’s departure from Peru, Luis
visited Suarez-Valenzuela’s mother’s house several times
with another individual and threatened to kill Suarez-
Valenzuela. Suarez-Valenzuela explained thatreferred to an immigration
judge. The immigration judge found Suarez-Valenzuela credi-
ble and determined that he was subjected to torture when he
was shot, stabbed, and threatened. The immigration judge also
noted that, according to the State Department’s Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for Peru, the police regu-
larly threaten victims and witnesses of human rights abuses,
and the perpetrators of those abuses are rarely punished.
Although the immigration judge recognized that security
forces have developed human rights training, implementation
has been slow and security forces are reluctant to provide
information about human rights abuses. The immigration
judge also found that it was not feasible for Suarez-
Valenzuela to relocate within Peru due to the country’s
national identity database, which would allow the individuals
who tortured him to determine his whereabouts. In light of
this information, the immigration judge found that it was

Skywald did not include a proper copyright notice on its issues of "Hell-Rider" (it did not consist of the word "copyright"/the symbol for copyright followed by the year of publication and the name of the copyright holders) and thus, because of copyright law at the time, became public domain upon release.

The greatest star ever, a flamboyant singer and songwriter who crooned his way through radio and movies, Ernesto died at the peak of his fame while performing his trademark "Remember Me."

A career like Ernesto's is the dream of Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez), the youngest son in a family that for generations has made shoes. But since a matriarch's musician husband abandoned the family decades ago, music has been banned by the Riveras.

Coco zips through these scenes with Pixar's usual panache, pulling in movie, song and pop-cultural references while piling up jokes and slapstick. Miguel has a secret shrine to Ernesto and a handmade guitar, revealed to his angry Abuelita (Renée


Victor), or grandmother, by his pet dog Dante (a hairless Xolo). When he is forbidden to perform in a talent show for the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Miguel decides to run away.

It's the one time of the year the departed can cross over from their spirit world, as long as family members have placed their photos on an ofrenda, an altar. Through a mix-up, Miguel is transported to the Land of the Dead. The only way back is to win the blessing of his departed relatives there, who are also adamantly opposed to music.

Roderick Deakin-White has confessed to killing Australian fiancee, Amy Parsons

He said he can remember hitting her on head in row but denies it was murder

Ex-Royal Opera House designer used cross dressing as a form of 'escapism'

Ms Parsons gave him an ultimatum to stop and then slept with an IT worker

She told Deakin-White she was leaving - and he beat her to death, jury is told

A cross-dresser told his murder trial today how he clubbed his fiancee to death as she showered after learning she was leaving him because she had a new man and hated his sexual fetish.

Roderick Deakin-White, 38, left Australian secretary Amy Parsons, 34, with ‘horrific' fatal injuries after battering her with a metal 'chin up' pole in their east London flat on April 25 thisyear.

But as Ms Parson's sister and mother watched from the gallery, the ex-Royal Opera House graphic designer insisted her death was a 'traumatic' accident adding: 'I hate the sight of blood'.

The couple had been together eight years before Ms Parsons became unhappy and began sleeping with colleague James Saunders, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

She was planning to dump Deakin-White for her IT worker lover - and he left her ‘slumped and dying’ in the bath of their fifth-floor apartment in Whitechapel after a row when he learned their relationship was over.

Giving evidence today, he admitted he passed her a toothbrush when she showered and then grabbed the pole and hit her on the head, claiming she was 'being confrontational'.

He said: 'My buttons were pushed and I didn’t know what


Munich - Opera, Dance, Concerts and Theatres

Munich has a very rich arts and cultural life. It is the home to the Bavarian State Opera and the Bavarian State Ballet, and there are over 160 theatre venues which host performances of opera, dance, theatre and concerts. Churches also provide enjoyment for music lovers, many having free organ recitals.Not all the big name international rock and pop acts come to Munich, but a large selection perform either indoors or outdoors at Olympiapark. If you're more of a beer fan than a music fan, there is always the option of listening to some traditional Bavarian oompah music at the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower) beer garden in the Englischer Garten!

Criticism
Laura Miller, writing in Salon (October 12, 2011), said the fiction award has become a Newbery Medal for adults: Good for you whether you like it or not. She said "the impression has arisen that already-successful titles are automatically sidelined in favor of books that the judges feel deserve an extra boost of attention. the nominated books [often] exhibit qualities – a poetic prose style, elliptical or fragmented storytelling – that either don't matter much to nonprofessional readers, or even put them off." She claims the NBA has become irrelevant to average readers and of more interest to professional writers. Craig Fehrman, writing in The New York Times (October 28, 2011), said "the National Book Awards [are] known for this sort of thing. They're awards for insiders."

Police in Middlefield, Ohio today released patrol camera video of a suspect who jumped out of his car and unloaded a semi-automatic rifle at two officers during a traffic stop in March.

TV station WKYC has a better copy of the video on their website. The man, 42-year-old James L. Gilkerson, was shot and killed by the officers when they exited the car to return fire.

WKYC says that two officers pulled Gilkerson over, although news reports don't say why. Within a few seconds he was out of the car and firing at their cruiser. The station wisely edited out the scene where Gilkerson was killed by return fire, but he can be heard screaming "Kill me" at the officers before he was taken down.

One of the officers was


corruption and claim that he took public money – intended for educational use – and spent it on his own political ambitions whilst serving as an official in Mpumalanga.

“He syphoned off money from schools and other public services to buy loyalty and amass enormous power, making him impossible to ignore on the national stage and putting him in position to shape South Africa for years to come.”

David Mabuza’s history of corruption

It was this constant abuse of the system that allowed David Mabuza to turn Mpumalanga – a relatively small province with little economic influence – into ANC central. The party hold the second-highest amount of party delegates in the country – something that came into sharp focus back in December.

While originally rooting for Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma to lead theat the request of
the National
Security Council after President Truman personally expressed
concern over UFOs at a July 28, 1952, NSC meeting. (However, there
was no formal NSC meeting on that date). The CIA's study was
largely conducted by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence
(OSI). The CIA thought the question so pressing that they
authorized an ad hoc committee in late
1952.

The Robertson Panel first met formally on January 14, 1953 under
the direction of Howard Percy
Robertson. He was a physicist, a CIA
employee, and the director of the Defense Department Weapons Evaluation
Group. He was instructed by OSI to assemble a group of prominent
scientists to review the Air Force's UFO files.

In preparation for this, Robertson first personally reviewed Air
Force files and procedures. The Air Force had recently commissioned
the Battelle Memorial
Institute to scientifically study all of the


UFO reports
collected by Project Sign, Project Grudge and Project Blue Book. Robertson hoped to draw
on their statistical results, but Battelle insisted that they
needed much more time to conduct a proper study. (For more,
see below).

Other panel members were respected scientists and military
personnel who had worked on other classified military projects or
studies. All were then skeptical of UFO
reports, though to varying degrees. Apart from Robertson, the panel
included:

Most of what is known about the actual proceedings of the meetings
comes from sketchy minutes kept by Durant, later submitted as a
memo to the NSC. It is the only declassified document to date that
details the panel's discussions. In addition, various participants
would later comment on what transpired from their perspective.
Ed Ruppelt, then head of Project Blue Book, first revealed the
existence of the secret panel inhis 1956 insider book, but without
revealing names of panel members.

Formal meetings

The Panel had four consecutive days of formal meetings. In total,
they met for only 12 hours. Only 23 cases out of 2,331 Air Force
UFO cases on record (or about 1%) were reviewed. Although Ruppelt
wrote that the Panel studied their best cases, Hynek would opine
that the panel in fact seemed to have neither the time nor the
desire to study the more puzzling ones. For example, the radar
experts on the panel ( Alvarez and Page) seemed to show little
interest in reports of radar UFO cases, which they dismissed as
"anxiety over fast radar tracks" by the Air Defense Command.

Of the Panel members, Ruppelt would write in his private papers
that Goudsmit was exceptionally hostile to the subject: "Goudsmit
was probably the most violent


anti-saucer man at the panel meeting.
Everything was a big joke to him which brought down the wrath of
the other panel members on numerous occasions." Goudsmit even
stated later that reporters of UFOs were as dangerous to society as
drug addicts.

Alvarez was also extremely skeptical but more professional in his
conduct. Page at the time was likewise hostile, later recalling
that he made a statement during the meeting that UFOs were
"nonsense", bringing about a reprimand from Robertson, despite
their good friendship. Ruppelt, however, felt that Page was more
open-minded, and although he obviously did not know much about
UFOs, he tended to line up with Hynek against Alvarez and Goudsmit
in their adamancy that UFOs could not exist.

In contrast, Robertson, Berkner, and Durant seemed to have a
personal interest in the subject. It was noted, for example, inknown aircraft, creature or weather phenomena. Air Force Captain Edward J.Ruppelt then began a summary of Air Force
efforts regarding UFO studies.

The second day, Ruppelt finished his presentation. Hynek then
discussed the Battelle
study, and the panel discussed with Air Force personnel the
problems inherent in monitoring UFO sightings.

The third day, Air Force Major Dewey
J.Fournet spoke to the panel.
For over a year he had coordinated UFO affairs for the Pentagon. Fournett supported the extraterrestrial hypothesis as
the best explanation for some puzzling UFO reports. For the
remainder of the third day, the panel discussed their conclusions,
and Robertson agreed to draft a preliminary report.

The fourth and final day, the panel rewrote and finalized their
report.

Conclusions and the Robertson Panel Report

The Robertson Panel's official report concluded that 90 percent of
UFO sightings could be readily identified with meteorological,
astronomical,


or natural phenomena, and that the remaining 10
percent of UFO reports could, in all likelihood, be similarly
explained with detailed study. It was suggested that witnesses had
misidentified bright stars and planets, meteors, aurora, mirages,
atmospheric temperature inversions, and lenticular clouds; other sightings were
judged as likely misinterpretation of conventional aircraft, weather
balloons, birds, searchlights, kite, and other phenomena.

None of the Panel's members was formally trained in motion picture
or photographic analysis, and only one had any experience with
photography (astronomic still photography and not motion picture
film)Nonetheless, after screening the films only a few times, they
dismissed the idea that either the 1950 Montana UFO Film or the 1952 Utah UFO Film showed "genuine" UFOs.
The
Panel's members instead argued that the "UFOs" in the Montana film
were actually the reflections of two jet fighters alleged to be in
thearea at the time and that those in the Utah film were actually
seagulls flying near the Great Salt Lake. However, the Panel's conclusions
contradicted U.S. Air Force photo analysists who had earlier
specifically ruled out birds as an explanation for the Utah film
and had thought that jets were a highly unlikely, but remotely
plausible, explanation for the Montana film (Clark, 1998). The
Panel's conclusions also seemingly ignored eyewitness testimony in
both film cases that the objects, while closer to the camera
operators, were clearly-defined metallic flying saucers, not the
rather indistinct lights seen on the films.

Furthermore, the Panel suggested the Air Force should begin a
"debunking" effort to reduce "public
gullibility" and demystify UFO reports, partly via a public relations campaign, using psychiatrists, astronomers and assorted celebrities to
significantly reduce public interest in UFOs. It was also
recommended that


or deceptively bringing the subject [of UFOs] to public
attention". Because of the Robertson Panel the Air Force's Project Blue Book's procedures of
investigating UFOs also changed, attempting to find a quick
explanation and then file them away. Project Blue Book was a successor of
Project Grudge.

In 1956 retired Marine Major Donald
Keyhoe founded the National
Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a UFO
investigations organization. By 1969 Keyhoe turned his focus on the
CIA as the source of the UFO cover up. NICAP's board, headed by
Colonel Jospeph Bryan III, forced
Keyhoe to retire as NICAP chief. Bryan was actually a former covert
CIA agent who had served the agency as founder and head of its
psychological warfare division. Under Bryan's leadership, the NICAP
disbanded its local and state affiliate groups, and by 1973 it had
been completely closed.

Publicity and responses

Ruppelt's1956 book The Report On unidentified Flying
Objects contained the first publicly-released information
about the Robertson Panel, with a summary of their proceedings and
conclusions. Ruppelt's book did not include the names of the Panel
members, nor any institutional or governmental affiliations.

In 1958, the National
Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a
civilian UFO research group, requested that the Air Force release
the panel's report. The Air Force released three summary paragraphs
and the names of the panel's members. In 1966 a nearly full-length
version of the report was printed in the science column of the
Saturday Review.

Panel member Thornton Page would later change some of his more
stridently skeptical conclusions regarding the Panel's report, and
regarding UFOs in general. In his 1969 critique of the Condon Report, Page would lament the
"excessive levity" he brought to the Panel's proceeding, detailing
how


he later thought the UFO subject deserved serious
scrutiny.

Hynek's opinions changed in later years as well, so much that he
became, to many, the scientifically respectable voice of Ufology. He would lament that the Robertson Panel
had "made the subject of UFOs scientifically unrespectable, and for
nearly 20 years not enough attention was paid to the subject to
acquire the kind of data needed even to decide
the nature of the UFO phenomenon."

Effects of the Robertson Panel report

According to Swords, the Robertson Panel's report had an "enormous"
impact throughout the U.S. Government: the CIA abandoned a "major high
level [UFO] investigation" planned in conjunction with the National
Security Council; UFO research projects by personnel in The Pentagon were quashed; and Project Blue Book's hopes to
establish a scientific advisory board were dashed. Blue Book
was also downgraded in statusand stripped of most responsibility
for investigating serious, well-attested UFO cases, which were
instead secretly turned over to a newly-formed division of the Air
Defense Command. Directives were also issued not to discuss the
unexplainable cases with the public and to reduce the percentage of
"unknowns"

Though the CIA's official history suggests that the Robertson
Panel's conclusions were never carried out, there is evidence that
contradicts this. Perhaps the most unambiguous evidence for the
Robertson Panel's covert impact on news media reporting about UFOs
is a personal letter by Dr. Thornton
Page, discovered in the Smithsonian archives by biochemist
Michael D.Swords. The 1966 letter, addressed to
former Robertson Panel Secretary Frederick C.Durant, confides that Page "helped
organize the CBS TV show around the Robertson Panel conclusions."
Page was no doubt referring to the CBS Reports TV broadcast of the
same year, "UFOs: Friend, Foe,


and Hough note that there was a "CIA memo from
1976" which "tells how the agency is still having to 'keep in touch
with reporting channels' in ufology (in
other words, to spy on UFO groups." (Randles and
Hough, 103)

Some scholars investigators have suggested that the Robertson
Panel's true objective was to justify a CIA domestic
propaganda-and-surveillance campaign, rather than to investigate
UFOs. For example, journalist Howard Blum writes that it is
difficult to accept any argument that the Robertson Panel was ever
intended as a serious scientific analysis: Blum argues that the
Panel's perfunctory rejection of the U.S. Navy's detailed
examination of the UFO films is all but impossible to justify on
scientific grounds. Similarly, Swords has argued that the Panel
seems to have been designed as an elaborate theater exercise
instead of a serious attempt to get to the bottomof the UFO issue.
Although the Panel put on a show of evaluating some UFO evidence,
its scientific analysis was cursory and its conclusions mostly
likely pre-ordained. Also, the Panel only looked only at evidence
in the public domain, not higher-quality classified military
evidence. Psychologist David R.Saunders, a member of the
University of Colorado's UFO study (the Condon Committee), had earlier expressed
similar conclusions. Given that Robertson had worked as a
high-level scientific-intelligence officer during World War II, he
would have been familiar with the use of such tactics to hide a
sensitive national-security problem from scrutiny by
outsiders.

It is a widely-held conclusion amongst UFO investigators that the
Robertson Panel's conclusions and recommendations had a great
influence on official United States policy regarding UFOs for many
decades.

Contrast with Battelle Memorial Institute study results

When the Battelle Memorial
Institute finally finished their massive review of


Air Force
UFO cases in 1954 (called "Project
Blue Book Special Report No. 14"), their results were markedly
different from those of the Robertson Panel. Whereas the Robertson
Panel spent only twelve hours reviewing a limited number of cases,
the Battelle Institute had four full-time scientific analysts
working for over two years analyzing 3201 reports. Classifying a
case as "unknown" required agreement among all four analysts,
whereas a "known" or conventional classification required agreement
by only two analysts. Still they concluded 22% of the cases
remained unsolvable. The percentage climbed to 35% when considering
only the best cases and fell to 18% for the worst cases. Not only
are the percentages of unknowns much higher than those for the
Robertson Panel, but the higher percentages for the better cases
are directly opposite one conclusion of the panel that their
remaining 10% of unknownswere
usually at odds with their own statistical results, displayed in
240 charts, tables, graphs and maps. Possibly the analysts simply
had trouble accepting their own results. Others conjecture this was
another result of the Robertson Panel, the conclusions being
written to satisfy the new political climate within Project Blue
Book following the panel.

From Spring Drive to Rodeo Drive, Grand Seiko comes to Beverly Hills. The first Grand Seiko boutique in the world opens its doors on this prestigious high-end shopping district.

For the first time in the Americas, the Grand Seiko Boutique offers the full international collection, incorporating the proprietary 9 Series mechanical, quartz and Spring Drive movements that are exclusive to Grand Seiko. Grand Seiko watches are handmade in two studios in Japan.

Each watch is crafted by skilled men and women who ensure the highest precision, legibility and durability for which Grand Seiko is renowned.

Earlier this year, Grand Seiko was given complete independence and is now an entirely separate brandwith its own unique appeal, distinct design and exclusive technologies. The Grand Seiko logo is now presented at the twelve o’clock position on the dial of every new watch presented at the boutique.

Grand Seiko is also now expressed in a new color scheme in which the traditional Grand Seiko blue is combined with silver, designed to express the fusion of innovation and luxury that every Grand Seiko watch offers.

Young British woman with 14-Month Boy Joined ISIS

30/10/2014

4 minutes read

A young Britain woman is believed to have left Britain for Syria with her 14-month-old son, Mail Online reported.
Tareena Shakil, 25, of Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, is said to have travelled to Turkey and crossed into Syria – despite telling her family she was going on holiday to Spain.
Miss Shakil turned to ISIS over a four-month period and has told her family that she is now in the terrorist group’s stronghold of Raqqa with her son Zaheem, according to her father Mohammed.
He told The Sun: ‘There was no reason to suspect. She left wearing jeans and a top. My little grandson shouldn’t be going through this.’
Miss Shakil, who is divorced, reportedly set up a Facebook account with a false name andbegan posting pro-ISIS messages – even describing herself as a ‘slave to Allah’.
She set up a Facebook profile under the name of ‘Tameena al Amirah’ in July and posted pro-ISIS messages, before displaying photographs of “Muslim fighters” and the ISIS black flag.
Then she left home on Monday with her son. Mr Shakil told Sun his girl was a normal British girl.
We brought Tareena up in a Western environment while respecting the culture of Islam and hoped that she would take the best of both worlds.
‘I, myself, have made mistakes in the past but it never affected that close, deep bond that exists in special father-and-his-daughter relationships.
‘I have never cried so much in my life and would do anything to have her and our grandson back in our arms.


Like any father, I just want the best for my daughter and have always strived to give her the best.
We want her to know how much we love her and want her back safely as soon as possible.’
Miss Shakil is among a number of young British Muslim women who have travelled to Syria.

Bristol teenager Yusra Hussein, 15, left home in September but instead of going to school went to Heathrow where she caught a flight to Turkey.
She boarded a plane with a 17-year-old British girl she met online and the two are now believed to be in Syria, and may have married “jihadist” fighters.
Yusra went missing in September and it is believed she fled to Syria toHalane, 16, from Chorlton ran away to Syria
Salma and Zahra Halane, 16, from Chorlton ran away to Syria and social media accounts reportedly belonging to the girls show them posting about learning to use guns and seeing grenades and Kalashnikov rifles. The sisters were hard-working students who hoped to train as doctors.
The pair left their parents’ home in the middle of the night and caught a flight to Turkey, before crossing the border. Friends said the twins had appeared to be typical teenagers, pouting for selfies and shopping– but they are now feared to be training for battle.
Yesterday the family of a Portsmouth teenager killed in Syria said he was ‘impressionable and naive’.
Muhammad Mehdi Hassan went to the war-torn country with a group of friends who called themselves


the Britani Brigade Bangladeshi Bad Boys.
The 19-year-old, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, was killed fighting in Kobani over the weekend after travelling to the country in October last year.
His mother, who did not want to be identified, described her son as a ‘loving, gentle and a kind boy’ and said the group were ‘normal teenagers with good education working in a bank’.
‘They are impressionable boys and they are so naive they didn’t think in balanced way about implication on life.’
A photo of Mehdi’s body emerged on Twitter on Friday and his family previously confirmed to their local mosque that they had received news of his death.
His uncle, Muslim Khan, criticized the Government for making it difficult for young people fighting in Syria to return to the UK.
Out of the groupof five friends three have been killed fighting for ISIS, one is in prison in the UK after being convicted of terrorism offences, and one is believed to be in Syria fighting.
It emerged last Tuesday that another Portsmouth man, Manunur Roshid, had been killed.
The 24-year-old was understood to have joined up with fighters from ISIS. Two of his companions, Ifthekar Jaman, 23, and Muhammad Humidur Rahman, 25, had already died.
As Guardian report on 29 September 2014 Hundreds of girls and women are going missing in the west, reappearing in Iraq and Syria to bear children for the caliphate.

In Austria, two teenage friends, Samra Kesinovic, 16, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, ran away from their homes in Vienna to join terrorists in Syria. Samra’s (above picture) school said she had


been speaking out for ‘holy war’, writing ‘I love al-Qaida’ around the building.
Women and girls as young as 14 or 15 appear to make up about 10% of those leaving Europe, North America and Australia to link up with terrorists groups, including “Islamic State” (Isis). France has the highest number of female terror recruits, with 63 in the region – about 25% of the total – and at least another 60 believed to be considering the move.
Counter-terrorism experts in the UK believe about 50 British girls and women have joined Isis, about a tenth of those known to have travelled to Syria to fight. Many are believed to be based in Raqqa, the eastern Syrian city that has become an Isis stronghold.
At least 40 women have left GermanyEnabling a sustainable and prosperous future through science and innovation in the bioeconomy at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

| Pope hits 40 million followers on Twitter

The Pope has racked up 40 million followers on Twitter, the Vatican said on Wednesday, underlining the Catholic leader’s status as one of the world’s biggest social media players.

The total, spread across accounts in nine languages, leaves Francis neck and neck with his occasional online sparring partner US President Donald Trump (40.3 million followers), but still trailing the likes of Barack Obama (95 million) and Katy Perry (104 million).

A net nine million new Twitter users have followed the various @pontifex accounts in the last year, according to the Vatican, which views the micro-blogging site as increasingly important for communicating with the faithful and non-believers.

Francis, 80, has become a star of the platform despite the dry, religious nature of most of his tweets.

His


use of Twitter could also seem at odds with him regularly urging young people to give their smartphones a rest in favour of real-world communication.

The Argentine pontiff’s Spanish account has most followers (14.6 million), followed by English (14 million).

A hugely popular Latin one has 843,000 (more than the German or Arabic feeds), much to the delight of the ancient language’s dwindling band of teachers.

Francis, who also counts five million followers on Instagram, is not the first pope to tweet.

His predecessor Benedict XVI started in December 2012, just months before he retired because of failing health.

Tweets in the name of the pope appear on average just under once a day.

“God does not disappoint! He has placed hope in our hearts so that it can blossom and bear fruit,” heJessica, a young British girl, goes off to Arabia with her father to be with her fiancé when he's called there suddenly on diplomatic duty. On a tourist journey she's kidnapped by what appears to be a Beduion tribe and sold into the harem of the Sultan. The man that took her captive is not actually a Beduion but an Oxford educated revolutionary who traded Jessica for the release of his friends from the Sultan's prison. As her fiancé struggles to free her from the harem he inadvertently hires the very man who put her there to get her out. Meanwhile, Jessica is fending of the Sultan's advances and coming to know a new way of life. Romance, political intrigue, and the jealousies of the harem all threaten

All about Alice Mccall Rompers

Alice Mccall Rompers first appeared on Chictopia's streetstyle gallery in Summer 2013 seen on Melbourne blogger kisforkani of kisforkani.com. Since then, Alice Mccall Rompers have grown in popularity as bloggers from Melbourne and Melbourne have discovered them. Alice Mccall Rompers are generally seen in eclectic, 60s, and casual style. A popular type of Alice Mccall Rompers are floral print. Blogger's favorite colors are white and blue.

There are currently 3 streetstyle photos of bloggers wearing Alice Mccall Rompers.By Game 3 of the Fortnite Winter Royale's first North American heat, Harrison "psalm" Chang was set.

A victory royale in Tuesday's opening match was valuable enough to qualify him for Wednesday's final and a chance to partake in the $500,000 prize pool. But as psalm went through his rotations in Game 3, he noticed something unusual happening in this particular lobby.

"I was playing normally, and then I saw [Mark "Neace"] Neace in the kill feed over and over," psalm said in a postgame interview with host Alex "Goldenboy" Mendez. "I saw him get top 3 with 10 kills and was like, 'What's going on?'"

The answer to psalm's confusion defined Winter Royale, an event that frustrated and entertained in equal measure while calling into question Epic Games' commitment to


making Fortnite a competitive esport. The cultural sensation's first truly open tournament whittled down 9.2 million players across North America and Europe to the top 400, culminating in two drastically different regional finals held 10 days apart. North America's final bore little resemblance to Europe's version or the qualifiers that preceded it, thanks to, among other things, the introduction of one very sharp object.

For the third straight game, Neace pulled the Infinity Blade from its Polar Peak pedestal uncontested. Added mere hours before the day's twin heats began, the Infinity Blade -- ported directly from its eponymous mobile game series that Epic quietly removed from Apple's app store one day beforehand -- was so new that competitors weren't sure what to make of it.

Neace had a feeling thewith the day of the tournament.... Yea, that just happened pic.twitter.com/vkMnzxSi9D — Fortnite Funny 🎅🎄 (@FortniteFunny) December 12, 2018

When the dust settled, psalm had earned 17 points and advanced first out of the five-game heat, and Neace finished second with eight points.

Big names like Jake "Poach" Brumleve, Timothy "Bizzle" Miller, Ali "Myth" Kabbani and Tyler "Ninja" Blevins all failed to make the cut with a combined zero points, as did Cody "Fulmer" Fulmer, the top North American qualifier from the open stage.

As overpowered as he made the Infinity Blade look, psalm said he thinks it will only be a matter of time before the community adapts. Less than 24 hours old at the time of the event, the sword's power stemmed as much from its newness as its


to Alchemist, Europe played their finals in essentially the same state as their qualifiers, which might explain why top qualifier Clément "Skite" Danglot also took home first place and $75,000 in prize money.

Epic did not afford North America the same consistency. Players who competed in NA finals Wednesday did so in a game fundamentally unlike the one they qualified for on Nov. 25. The Pop-Up Cup rules shifted to Explorer, adjusting resource caps and granting materials on eliminations. The new ruleset strengthened Infinity Blade users, who could swing with further abandon knowing that every lethal stroke would net them crucial materials plus 50 effective health.

Though all of North America was caught off-guard by the Infinity Blade, players drafted into the second heat had more time to prepare. Superiorpreparation forced blade-carriers down a more conservative line, leveraging its health benefits and close-quarters combat for late-game superiority rather than a constant popoff. Legedien, an unaffiliated unknown, did exactly that in Game 1 of NA's finals, earning five of his seven eliminations in the final three circles to secure the victory royale and six points. He wouldn't post another point all day but still walked away with $30,000 in fifth-place prize money.

Competitive inconsistency and Epic's willingness to nullify weeks of scrimmage prep with oversized last-minute changes have divided the community. A vocal segment decried the rapid modifications as against the core principles of sport, which value fairness and skill honed through practice. Others enjoyed the spectacle created by a new toy and argued that adaptability ranks near macro


in importance. Without a firmer indication of what direction Epic wishes to take competitive Fortnite, expect the debate to rage on.

Epic's endgame remains a mystery, but the developer's insistence on iteration and experimentation, even in the face of conventional wisdom, should surprise no one who has followed Fortnite's meteoric 2018. Each decision Epic has made, from the Summer Pro Am through Winter Royale, is part of the same investigative process, throwing out idea after idea to determine the shape of Fortnite to come.

Summer Skirmish was about discovering a replicable points format as Epic troubleshot Live Spectator. Fall Skirmish blurred the lines between professional players, content creators and ambitious amateurs until they became interchangeable, all while pushing gameplay boundaries with increasingly zany content. Winter Royale served its purpose notand a game store aimed to rival Valve's Steam, Epic is operating with a different set of expectations in mind. Epic is hosting a Fortnite Pro-Am on Friday in Seoul, the first of its kind in South Korea. The Fortnite World Cup is on the docket for 2019. After that, who knows? We can't see the big picture yet, only the small details that indicate broad ambition.

Whatever its gameplay shortcomings, Winter Royale delighted from a broadcast standpoint, showcasing a markedly improved viewing experience. New details included a handy graphic in the top left corner that tracked players remaining, storms remaining, a storm timer and the game number. Epic preproduced a handful of player-focused video segments that aired between games, connecting viewers with the personalities at the heart Fortnite's


growth. Cameron "Sundown" McGrory filled time by breaking down top replays, as did Goldenboy with several live player interviews.

Psalm was one of those interviews. A West Coast player, psalm spoke to Goldenboy from a LAN café in Virginia, having flown there to improve his ping for the tournament. A sheepish grin played around his face as he answered questions about the Infinity Blade, and who could blame him? Watching psalm spin and jump-slash across the map like Link was electrifying, reminiscent of the melee assassins he specialized in as a Heroes of the Storm Flex for Tempo Storm.

Psalm left TS in June to pursue a Fortnite career and in less than six months has already earned over half the prize money he won playing HotS for three years.five copies for my trivia contest listed below.

The differential sample is then strobed into the third sample-and-hold, and it is coupled to the integrator. The cycle is repeated for the duration of the up integration. Since the first and second sample-and-holds will quickly charge to their final states, assuming that the temperature is not changing rapidly, the transient will not be important, and the time between samples can be made quite short.
In a still further embodiment, the dynamic range of the integrator is increased. The range of an up-down integrator is determined by the ratio of the maximum voltage thereacross to the size of the least significant bit.

Our next overnight was at the Hrifunes Guest House, a charming inn off the beaten track. Hrifunes is jointly owned by Hadda Gisladottir who traveled with us for the first several days of our journey and by our photography guide Haukur Snorrason. The meals are served family style and we can attest to the excellent skills of their kitchen staff and the comfort of the rooms. As I mentioned in Chapter 1 of this odyssey, Hadda primarily manages the guest house while Haukur primarily manages the photo tour operation.

Reynisdrangar Sea Stacks

After lunch, we were planning to check out the Dyrholaey Lighthouse, but the road was jammed with traffic and so we opted for a nearby spot which gave us an excellent overview of Arnardrangur, a massive basalt monolith standing on Reynisfjara, the black sand beach.

A short distance from here, we came upon Skogafoss, one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. Its name comes from the Skoga River which tumbles over a 200-foot cliff befopre continuing to the sea some 3 miles away. At one time, the coastline was marked by these cliffs, but receded long ago. The river below the falls holds a large salmon and char population and is popular with fishermen between July and October.

Thisbecause of its dramatic scenery, easy access, and its full range of services (café, souvenirs, boat rides, etc.) Icebergs breaking off the Vatnajökull glacier float in the lagoon eventually working their way out a narrow channel into the ocean. Once in the ocean, many will be pushed up by the tide onto a black sand beach, the famous Ice Beach, providing numerous opportunities for photographers.

Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon

At the back of the parking lot away from the tourists, a flock of Arctic Terns had taken possession of a field for a nesting colony. The tern is famous for its incredibly long migration route, the longest-distance migration of any bird, moving between its Arctic breeding grounds in Iceland and Greenland and its non-breeding territory in the Antarctic, a distance that


approaches 25,000 miles. And they share one characteristic with the skua: the ferocity of their attacks on trespassers. Although they are much smaller, they use a team approach, overwhelming the target with their numbers.

There is a second glacial lagoon, Fjallsarlon, just a few miles down the road from the far more popular Jokulsarlon.

Rick and Michele setting up their shots at Fjallsarlon

The lagoon is smaller than Jokulsarlon; there are no tourist services and the water is not as blue. But the solitude was a nice contrast. When it was time to leave, Haukur suggested a short hike to some nearby ponds where we might find some geese.

Namafjall Geothermal Field

An early start enabled us to arrive at the popular Namafjall geothermal field before the crowds and we had the place to ourselves. It reminds one of Yellowstone with the many mud pots, fumaroles, and venting hydrogen sulfide gas.

As we drove we west on Highway 1, we were repeatedly confronted with scenic opportunities and they were coming so fast that we failed to record the locations of the above three images.

The afternoon was spent hiking around the Leirhnjukur area, a name which means “clay hill” and refers to a porous hill of rhyolite rising 150


(Route 1) onto Route 715, a dirt road that leads to Kolugljufur Canyon and a pair of waterfalls on either side of a short bridge.

We had several opportunities to stop whenever we saw an interesting roadside scene. One example is an abandoned house alongside a cascading stream shown in the image below.

Icelandic Turf House with Connecting Rooms

The turf farmhouse in Glaumbaer is a great place to learn about Icelandic history. A farm has been on this site since the 9th Century. Turf houses date from those earliest days but the buildings here are more recent, constructed in the 18th Century. There is also a small museum and aTea House which serves light fare featuring Icelandic dishes.

Back on the road our guide, Haukur Snorrason, demonstrated once again his ability to sense when an unplanned opportunity might arise. As we approached a large pasture containiing about 20 Icelandic horses, he chose to pull over saying that it looked like something was about to happen. Little did we know.

It seemed that as soon as one pair became bored with their game, another pair would start up. We didn’t want to leave them, but our primary goal for the day was Godafoss, the Waterfall of the Gods.

Godafoss, in a Light Rain

The waterfall derives its name from the year 1000, when Iceland converted to Christianity. The head of the island’s


legislature, known as the law-speaker, dispensed his pagan gods by throwing them into this waterfall as a symbolic act of the conversion.

For us, the chief problem was the deteriorating weather. As the rain became heavier and temperatures began to fall, we cut our visit short. As we headed east, the rain turned to sleet and then to snow and shortly afterwards, we spotted a pair of fly fishermen standing in the middle of a river, oblivious to the weather.

Day 1, 8:00 AM: Right on time our guide, Haukur Snorrason, arrived at our hotel and soon we were heading west out of Reykjavik. Also with us was Hadda Gisladottir.

"Jesus Christ!" Jack cried when her pale image reached his conscious thought. He hit the brake and the rear end of the car slewed a bit on the road that was now slick with rain and dust. For an endless moment, he was horribly confused, disoriented, sitting on the wrong side of the car, driving on the wrong side of the road. One instinct told him to pull right, away from her, another warned him against going off the road, another told him there was room, another told him the child who ran there beside him

Stroud District Councillor Brian Tipper (C, Cam East) believes Cam was taken advantage of in the early planning stages and that this has lead to far too many houses being allocated to the village.

"Cam has had enough," he said.

Mr Tipper's main concern was a stretch of green land running along Box Road which is possibly due to be wiped out by the development.

"We are already at logger heads with the highways in regards to the width of the road and the environment. Just the overall effect of it. There is further development going to take down there and we are resisting that.

"From an environment point of view, it's going against the grain. Saying that back in 2009 when the land was originally bought, the land was needed.


After achieving victory in Lok Sabha polls, senior BJP leaders on Sunday 'thanked' Ramdev for 'awakening' the voters and compared his efforts with the struggles undertaken by national leaders Mahatma Gandhi and Jayprakash Narayan.

New Delhi: After achieving victory in Lok Sabha polls, senior BJP leaders on Sunday "thanked" Ramdev for "awakening" the voters and compared his efforts with the struggles undertaken by national leaders Mahatma Gandhi and Jayprakash Narayan.

Party veteran Arun Jaitley said,"The role played by Ramdev in awakening the voters is similar to the struggles undertaken by Mahatma Gandhi and Jayprakash Narayan. He had no greed of any post.

"His motto is to strengthen the system. The struggles he undertook against black money and corruption is similar to those struggles (undertaken by Mahatma Gandhi and Jayprakash Narayan)."

Jaitley wasspeaking at 'Sankalppurti Mahotsav' a programme organised by followers of Ramdev after the electoral success of the BJP.

The yoga guru had vowed not to return to his Patanjali ashram in Haridwar till Congress-led UPA government was defeated.

Apart from Jaitely, Rajnath Singh also attended the function. The BJP president also thanked Ramdev for his support in the electoral battle.

"I thank for your contribution (in the electoral battle).

"You have not worked for the party, but for the country," Singh said.

The yoga guru's large number of followers had actively campaigned for BJP candidates across the country.

Many BJP MPs including former army chief and Ghaziabad MP VK Singh, former Mumbai Police Commissioner and Bagpath MP Satypal Singh, Delhi MPs Udit Raj, Meenakshi Lekhi, Maheish Girri, former Himachal Pradesh CM and Kangra MP
