colleagues (2013), examined 34 adults in Japan with major depression diagnoses. The group was divided into two with one group receiving treatment as usual (antidepressant medication) and the other receiving treatment as usual + psychoeducation. Neither group was in psychotherapy at the time of the study.

Psychoeducation can take many forms, such as simply reading and learning more about one’s disorder from a self-help book or a website like this one. In this study, psychoeducation took the form of a small group lecture series, in which participants were taught all about depression and simple problem solving. The 6 sessions lasted an hour and a half long, each.

The researchers measured progress by whether subjects in the study relapsed, but they also measured depression severity and its symptoms through two short-- as well as the intersection of technology and human behavior -- since 1992. Dr. Grohol sits on the editorial board of the journal Computers in Human Behavior and is a founding board member and treasurer of the Society for Participatory Medicine.

of gratification, a sense of comfort
And repose even in the strain of running day
After day. He had been aware of the prairies.
He had known he hated the sky so vast, the wind
Roaring in the grasses, and the brightness that
Hurt his eyes. Now he hated nothing; nor could he
Feel anything but the urgency that compelled him
Onward continually. "May I not forget, may I
Not forget," he said to himself over and over.
When he saw three ravens rise on their awkward
Wings from the forest floor perhaps seventy-five
Ells ahead of him, he said, "Three ravens,"
And immediately forgot them. "May I not forget,"
He said, and repeated again in his mind the exact
Words he had memorized, the message that was
Important and depressing, which made him feel
Worry and happiness at the same time, a peculiar
Elation.At last he came to his people far
In the darkness. He smiled and spoke his words,
And he looked intently into their eyes gleaming
In firelight. He cried when they cried. No rest
For his lungs. He flinched and lay down while they
Began to kill him with clubs and heavy stones.

Celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, the game follows Twinsun, a young man imprisoned for prophetic dreams by the dictatorial leader of his island home, who must discover his destiny and save his world. It's a fascinating game, filled with great music and a graphical style that made the most of early 3D polygons to produce something that looks unique and fun.

The original game has some challenging controls that take a fair bit of getting used to, which I would be doubly concerned about in a mobile release. The trailer does show some modern innovations, such as a hotspot system to identify interactive objects, so there's some


mud-slinging, shows that party leaders have not only lost touch with reality, but also, that they have no interest in governing the country. The Democratic party in its current form, is less a political organization than it is a permanent inquisition led by duplicitous vipers (Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Jerry Nadler) who feel entitled to use the Justice System to pursue their own petty political vendetta against a Beltway outsider who had the audacity to win the 2016 presidential election and whose views on foreign policy do not jibe with those of their elite paymasters.

The damage the Democrats (and their allies in the FBI and media) have done to the country is incalculable, but even worse, is the damage they’ve done to their own party.

Their relentless, but coordinated attacks on the president strongly suggest that there may be an alliance between the various groups of which the American people are completely unaware. This suspicion seems at least partially substantiated by an article that appeared in the World Socialist Web Site titled “The CIA Democrats”. Here’s an excerpt:

“An extraordinary number of former intelligence and military operatives from the CIA, Pentagon, National Security Council and State Department are seeking nomination as Democratic candidates for Congress in the 2018 midterm elections. The potential influx of military-intelligence personnel into the legislature has no precedent in US political history.

This led over time to a series of events (and US intervention) which caused

wide support among southern Colombian peasants, and enter politics. This was
not something desired by Colombia's establishment or Reagan, and thousands of
left-wingers were murdered in Colombia, including all left wing presidential

"After the official end of the civil war in 1996, Taylor ran for president in
the 1997 general election. He famously campaigned on the slogan "He killed my
ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him."[22] The elections were overseen
by the United Nations' peacekeeping mission, United Nations Observer Mission
in Liberia, along with a contingent from the Economic Community of West
African States.[23] Taylor won the election in a landslide, garnering 75
percent of the vote. Although the election was widely reckoned as free and
fair by international observers, Taylor had a huge advantage going into the
election. He'd already taken over the former state radio station, which
referred to him as "His Excellency." Additionally, there was widespread fear
that Taylor would resume the warif he lost."

"After declaring an end to a series of previous violent acts meant to pressure
authorities and public opinion, Escobar surrendered to Colombian authorities
in 1991. He was confined in what became his own luxurious private prison, La
Catedral. Before Escobar gave himself up, the extradition of Colombian
citizens had been prohibited by the newly approved Colombian Constitution of
1991. That was controversial, as it was suspected that Escobar or other drug
lords had influenced members of the Constituent Assembly."

22,500 drug evidence bags, will be completed.

In the meantime, more than just routine drug possession cases are being affected.

In one case this month, all drug charges against a man a police affidavit said was caught with 5,900 bags of heroin, $10,000 in cash and five guns, including an AK-47, were dropped before trial. That left only weapons charges against the defendant, and he was subsequently acquitted.

Had that man, Kevin L. Harris, been convicted of the original charges, he faced a life sentence. Instead, he will be back out on the street after he completes a short sentence for a probation violation.

Since the drug testing lab inside the Medical Examiner's Office was closed on Feb. 20, the state has been sending drug evidence to an out-of-state lab for testing.cases have been delayed, dropped or resolved with a plea on the day of trial in New Castle and Sussex counties, according to the Delaware Attorney General's Office. That does not count cases in Kent County, any that were resolved before the day of trial or the 63 instances where defendants have been informed that drug evidence in their cases had been tainted or has gone missing.

No drug prosecutions have made it to a courtroom anywhere in the state since April 1.

In Sussex County, attorney John Brady said dozens of marijuana cases also have been dropped in the Court of Common Pleas. "In misdemeanor court, everything is being dropped down or waived," he said. Attorneys in Kent and New Castle counties said the same has been happening in


misdemeanor courts there.

"And in Superior Court, they [prosecutors] are now being more reasonable," Brady said, with pleas being offered to drug defendants.

In one case typical of the last-minute offers, Wallace Sanchez was facing charges in New Castle County Superior Court involving dealing crack cocaine. He faced a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

But on the day his case was set to go to trial, April 15, prosecutors offered him a deal to a sentence of time served if he admitted guilt. He agreed and was immediately released.

"It was a good deal," said Sanchez's attorney Brad Manning, who added that while defense attorneys have been looking to force hearings on the drug lab scandal, he had to consider the interests of his client first.

"There is never athe guns. The closest prosecutors came to tying Harris to the guns was the fact that one was recovered in an H&M bag that also contained a receipt for men's shoes that the state claimed Harris had purchased.

Prosecutors showed the jury a surveillance video that they claimed was of Harris buying the shoes, but Barber disputed that the grainy video actually showed his client.

"They didn't have the evidence to connect him to any of it," Barber said, adding his client also disputed the dropped heroin allegations.

"Kevin Harris maintains his innocence," Barber said.

Had Harris been convicted in the original case, he was looking at a life sentence as a habitual offender. Harris remains in prison, serving a two-year sentence for a probation violation related to his Feb. 15, 2013,

The common misconceptions about the victims ofwas honorably discharged in November, 1945, and the wife likewise was separated in February, 1946, when they returned and resumed living together in Pittsburgh. The husband finally left the matrimonial domicile on June 27, 1951.
At the time of marriage, the wife was employed as a section manager at Gimbels department store and the husband was a clerk in his father's furniture store. Later on, the wife was personnel director, supervising the relations of some 2,000 employees. During this interval, the wife earned more money than the husband and many of the quarrels during the early years of their marriage centered around inadequate income of the husband and the fact that the husband had virtually no interest in the furniture business. After their respective separations from service and resumption


of marital life, the disagreements and quarrels continued with increasing severity and, while to their friends and acquaintances the marriage appeared to be harmonious, their life was dotted with arguments, fights, physical abuse and violent outbursts of temper.
Plaintiff's testimony covers many complaints relative to the conduct of defendant. The wife would become very angry and beat the husband with her fists and kick him in the groin, swear and call him fighting names such as son of a bitch, a dirty kike, bastard. This course of conduct continued even when the parties *8 retired, and when the husband refused to argue with her, she became very enraged and reached over to the bed and beat him with her fists. Many of the arguments lasted until three or fouro'clock in the morning and he would be forced to leave the common abode until he thought she was asleep. She objected to his working schedule, claiming it interfered with her social calendar; she demanded that he talk to his father and demand some assurance that some day the business would be turned over to him. During social gatherings the wife would comment on his work to state that he only worked for his father and had nothing to do with the business. She often referred to his parents as kikes. On several occasions she threatened to commit suicide and at one time went into the kitchen and turned on the gas range. He went in and opened the window and finally got her out. For several months


during 1951, prior to his leaving her, he was under the care of a dermatologist for neuro-dermatitis and was also treated for nervous tension. Finally on June 2, 1951, the wife told her husband she hated him and demanded that he leave the house. Although this was in the middle of the night, she refused to let him take the car and defendant walked ten blocks to his father's house, borrowed a car and went to a hotel. Two days later the wife demanded his return since she was sick and unable to take care of the child. He returned, remained for three weeks, and when the fights, arguments and threats of suicide continued, defendant left for good. Many of these complaints were admitted by the wife incode of marital ethics followed by the wife. In 1938, the wife became acquainted with David Barthfeld, an employe at Gimbels. Thereafter, until he left for the service in 1942, Barthfeld was included in many of the social activities of the wife and husband and, in the course of time, he fell in love with the wife. When this romance was discovered by the husband in 1942, upon discovering a series of amorous letters in his wife's night table drawer, she admitted that she had been seeing a lot of Barthfeld, and it was suggested that the husband should talk the matter over with him. This was done, and it was decided that nothing should be done during the period of war; if, during such period the wife


and husband decided on a final separation, that decision was to be made after the war, as the wife "was not sure of myself." At any rate, at that time, the wife decided to stay with her husband and promised she would have nothing else to do with Mr. Barthfeld, in letters, or seeing him or anything else.
Notwithstanding this promise made in May or June of 1942, the wife, unknown to plaintiff, continued to correspond with Mr. Barthfeld and personally visited with him on several occasions. From a reading of the sixteen letters found by the husband and introduced into evidence, it is difficult for us to conclude that Mr. Barthfeld did not receive encouragement from *10 the defendant wife and that there was no understanding or expectancyThey refer to the 5th (anniversary of meeting) which was remembered by telegram from the defendant, to numerous long distance telephone calls and to various meetings between them.
Barthfeld could not consummate his desire; he was killed in action in France at the battle of St. Lo in 1944. When the defendant informed plaintiff of his death, plaintiff wrote, in part as follows: "Sorry to hear about Dave's death especially since he was only in combat 1 week. But I guess that's the way it was *11 meant to be and now that the matter of your infatuation is over, we can settle down to our normal marriage. . . ."
These letters to the wife were not discovered by plaintiff until after the commencement of the divorce action. On


improvement from 12 hard ball teams in the year 2000 when Masaood Yunus arrived in Minnesota.

“The cricket teams are staffed by immigrant players,” said Yunus, the former Minnesota Cricket Association president. “The size of teams reflects the government’s policy regarding visa and immigration. Liberal immigration rules translate into teams getting expanded. Lately, teams have reduced.”

In cricket, two teams of 11 players each compete by taking turns to bat and play the field. The bowler (like a pitcher in baseball) tries to hit the ball on the wicket and the batsman prevents him by striking the ball.

Until baseball rose to prominence during the Civil War, cricket was the most popular game in the United States, according to Jayesh Patel, the Connecticut-based author of “Flannels on the Sward, History ofCricket in Americas.”

It’s immensely popular in India, which has won the World Cup in 1983 and 2011, and in neighboring Pakistan, which was created as a result of India’s partition in 1947. A match between the two nations generates a frenzy on both sides of the border.

Kids playing crickets in streets and neighborhood parks, commonly known as “gully cricket” (gully is street in Hindi) is a common sight in India and Pakistan.

Pradeep Nalamada, 35, came to Minnesota in 2006. He was comfortable playing with people from his own region in the first two years. Then in 2008, he was selected for the Minnesota national team, representing Minnesota in competitions with teams in other states.

The Minnesota captain was from Pakistan and the vice-captain was a Sri Lankan national.

“It was


my first interaction with people from those countries,” Nalamada recalled. “We traveled to Chicago for tournament and developed a very good rapport. We continue to remain friends.”

Woodbury resident Sriram Sitaraman said his friends discouraged him from joining Strykers Cricket Club because most of its members were Muslims with none from Chennai, his native state in India.

Sitaraman, though, saw how well the Strykers played.

“I was quite impressed by the quality of their game and was clear that I would play only with them,” he said. “The background of players did not matter to me.”

The Minnesota Cricket Association, older of the two leagues in the state, was formed in 1976 by Caribbean players. Around 1980s, players from Indian subcontinent started joining the league.

TF Cricket was established in 2018 by Mapledefense.

In the assignment for 18 months, Adm. Cebrowski reports directly to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. A naval aviator and former director of command, control, communications and computers (J-6), the Joint Staff, the admiral retired in 2001 while serving as president of the Naval War College. Rumsfeld says that the admiral, who is often called the father of network-centric warfare, is the ideal person to promote and analyze transformation efforts.

The global war on terrorism serves as strong impetus for change, making the Defense Department’s force transformation an even more urgent priority. Balancing risks between near- and far-term challenges is always difficult. However, with force transformation at the heart of its strategy, the department must simultaneously face several formidable challenges: successfully fight the global war on terror; prepare for

Hillary Clinton Shifts Focus to Donald Trump in New Attack Ad The television ad will begin airing this week in New York City.

NEW YORK CITY -- Ahead of the New York primary, Hillary Clinton's campaign has released a new attack ad against Donald Trump that overtly blasts him for his policies on Muslims and abortion.

The 30-second spot, titled "Stronger Together," will begin airing in New York City early this week and is part of an existing, high six-figure ad buy in the city, according to a campaign aide.

During the ad, a voiceover shows footage of Donald Trump while mentioning his proposed ban on Muslims from entering the United States, his recent comments about punishment for women who have abortions, and his remarks about Mexicans.

It then cuts to footageof Clinton at a recent campaign event criticizing Trump. "Donald Trump says we can solve America's problems by turning against each other. It's wrong, and it goes against everything New York and America stand for," she says.

The new spot follows an ad the Clinton campaign released last week titled "New York," which also focused on the Republican frontrunner, but did not specifically mention his name.

Both ads will be airing simultaneously in New York City.

France’s Carbon Tax Riots

The media has reported on the riots in France as a protest against higher gasoline taxes … which they were.

But generally, the media failed to mention that the higher gasoline taxes were an effort to cut CO2 emissions to prevent climate change.

The riots were actually in opposition to EU’s climate change policies.

Modern-day Les Miserables. Cartoon from GWPF.

Ironically, the COP 24 meeting in Katowice Poland began on the same day the French government capitulated on the gasoline CO2 tax, with the French Prime Minister deciding not to attend the opening of the UNFCCC COP 24 meeting.

The COP 24 meeting was to determine how to increase performance of the UNFCCC Paris Accord.

financial responsibilities or worries

family concerns

social isolation

difficulties in relationships with friends and romantic partners

being on one's own in a new environment

In Leh, we enjoyed a variety of local food (garlic naans, momo-dumplings, soups and much more) while getting used to the lower oxygen level.

(The distribution of medicine is part of a governmental program to develop the most populated country in the world: each village must have a school, access to medical service and a TV satellite for every family – compared to an internet connection, a TV is a better one-directional and well controlled tool to influence.)

What about me coach? How China's rule change could impact foreign talent

Some of the biggest names in world football are now either playing in China or being linked with the country's cashed-up Super League. But what impact could the competition's new rules have on the foreign invasion?

Earlier this week, the Chinese Football Association announced new rules regarding foreign players in the Chinese Super League (CSL) starting from the 2017 season, which kicks off in March.

Teams are still able to sign a maximum of five foreign players, but now only three can be fielded in any one game. The other two will be sitting in the stands.

Not only that, the spot that had been reserved for Asian players has disappeared, meaning the South Koreans, Australians and Uzbek stars


who want to play in the CSL now have to compete with players not just from elsewhere in Asia, but from all over the world.

With some clubs having conducted their transfer business and others yet to do so, the timing of the announcement has thrown the whole league into confusion. Here FourFourTwo takes a speculative look at some players – both inside China and out – whose futures may be affected by the new rules.

Tianjin Quanjian, a newly-promoted club with plenty of money and an owner who enjoys making headlines, claimed they were planning to sign Diego Costa before the new rules were announced.

There has been plenty of interest in the outcast Chelsea striker of late, as has been well reported in British and international media.

But thechange in the number of foreign players that can take part in a CSL game means clubs will think a little more about imported talent.

Costa would, of course, start but his arrival would mean coach Fabio Cannavaro having to leave another high-earning foreign player on the sidelines.

Reports in China suggest that a summer move for Costa is still on the cards.

Jackson Martinez (Guangzhou Evergrande)

Much has happened in the last 12 months in Chinese football, but it is only a year since the world sat up and took notice as Guangzhou Evergrande gave Atletico Madrid a reported €42 million (S$64 million) for the Colombian striker.

Yet Martinez rarely looked settled and happy in China's third city.

An early injury did not help but with the resurgent Brazilian Alan playing himself back


into the affections of coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, it seemed clear to all that Guangzhou – who went on to win a sixth successive domestic championship – looked better without Martinez.

It seems that the striker would not be averse to leaving and Guangzhou have been looking for a new striker.

Martinez didn't look thrilled at the time and little has improved.

Jean Kouassi (Shanghai SIPG)

The Ivory Coast striker was something of an unsung hero last season. The arrival of Brazilian goalgetter Elkeson took the headlines in the first half of the season and then the signing of Hulk in the second half was a very big deal in more than one sense.

But the African chipped in with some vital goals, especially after Hulk's immediate injury, as Shanghai finished strongly toCorsi di Italiano a Olbia (Sardegna), Italia

Fresh concerns over Chinese espionage are gripping Washington as lawmakers fear Beijing is gaining sensitive details on U.S. technologies.

Lawmakers are scrutinizing the Pentagon over its efforts to keep military secrets safe from hackers, after Chinese actors allegedly breached a Navy contractor’s computer and collected data on submarine technology.

U.S. officials stepped up warnings that China regularly steals American intellectual property and technology, through cyberattacks and other means — allegations Beijing denies.

The issue took center stage at a congressional hearing Thursday, as lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee pressed Trump administration officials on their efforts to protect U.S. military assets from Chinese spies.

The Washington Post reported earlier this month that hackers linked to the Chinese government had penetrated computers used by a contractor

In February, as part of a recruitment campaign, a television advertisement invited women aged between 19 and 35 with at least nine years of education (common in the larger cities) to join up. Only about 100 applied and, of these, 45 met the criteria (35 began training and six dropped out in the early stages). Suria Salay, 19, was one of them.

National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, WV

National Center for Preservation Technology andNational Seashore in the United States. It includes expanses of natural sites, as well as a number of historic attractions, including three lighthouses and several lifesaving stations. Traveling along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, visitors will likely encounter everything from fishing villages and small, British cemeteries to pristine beaches and popular surfing spots.

The history of Cape Hatteras National Seashore is both long and rich, as this collection of islands and the Atlantic waters surrounding them have been the sites of:

Civil War battles

The death of the famous pirate, Blackbeard

Native American settlements

Billy Mitchell test bombings

Hundreds of shipwrecks

The birth of the United States Coast Guard

As such, the National Park Service works tirelessly to ensure that this region’s rich history and stunning natural landscape are protected for lifetimes.

The Lighthouses of Cape Hatteras


National Seashore

Often referred to as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic,” the position of the Outer Banks makes it very vulnerable to treacherous weather conditions. In fact, there are thought to be countless sunken ships littering the ocean floor surrounding the islands. A number of lighthouses have been constructed over the generations to guide ships toward safety, with three of them being located along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore:

Bodie Island Light Station: The Bodie Island Light Station, which includes a lighthouse and keeper’s quarters, was originally built in 1847, but work to finish the lighthouse had to be abandoned in 1859 due to poor construction. A second Bodie Island lighthouse was built in 1859 only to be blown up by Confederate soldiers in 1861 during the Civil War. Thefinal Bodie Lighthouse, and the one that still stands today, was completed in 1872. The building next to the Bodie Lighthouse, which is still functional today, was transferred to the National Park Service in 1953 and now serves as a park ranger office and visitor center.

Cape Hatteras Light Station: The first Cape Hatteras Light Station was built in 1803 and still serves to protect one of the most hazardous areas of the Atlantic Coast. It is estimated that hundreds, if not thousands, of shipwrecks occurred here. After a number of renovations to make the lighthouse taller and more resistant to the harsh weather conditions and erosion, and a complete relocation of the lighthouse in 1999, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse still remains a lighthouse, with the park rangers of


the NPS maintaining both the lighthouse and the keeper’s quarters.

Ocracoke Light Station: The Ocracoke Light Station was originally completed in 1818 but destroyed by lightning. The second lighthouse was finished in 1822, along with lightkeeper’s quarters. The National Park Service, through federal grants, later performed a structural analysis of the lighthouse and repairs and renovations were made. The Ocracoke Lighthouse now serves as the second oldest operating lighthouse in the nation.

National Park Service’s Preservation Efforts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore

The National Park Service (NPS) has been instrumental in ensuring that the sites along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore are preserved, as the NPS has a guiding principle of preserving cultural resources for future generations. Just a few of the preservation projects undertaken by the NPS include:

The North Carolina State Parks System and its force of State park rangers oversee the sites and amenities of Fort Macon State Park. These rangers are dedicated to conserving and protecting the natural beauty, ecological features, and the recreational resources of Fort Macon State Park, all while supporting safe outdoor recreational opportunities to visitors


of this State park in a safe and wholesome environment.

Job Duties of Park Rangers at Fort Macon State Park

Park rangers with the North Carolina State Parks System serve as important stewards of Fort Macon State Park, as they are responsible for ensuring the protection and preservation of its undisturbed natural beauty, much of which includes salt marshes and estuaries that are vital to the ecosystem of North Carolina’s coastal areas.

Many visitors to Fort Macon State Park explore its abundant and varied plant and animal life, including cedar, black locust and live oak trees, and sea urchins and sea stars.

Fort Macon State Park is home to picnic areas, shelters, a modern bathhouse, a swimming area, and a boardwalk, all of which are located just steps from the stunning beachesof the Atlantic Ocean.

Fort Macon State Park rangers also oversee the management of Fort Macon, a superbly restored fort from the Civil War. Fort Macon, an impressive brick and stone structure, consists of 26 vaulted rooms, counter fire rooms, and even an expansive moat. Fort Macon’s inner court serves as the scene of historic reenactments. Around the Fort is the Elliot Coues Nature Trail.

In addition to their protective duties, which include enforcing Fort Macon State Park’s rules and regulations and patrolling the grounds and facilities, park rangers here are often engaged in the Park’s interpretive and educational programs, which include its history and its natural resources and delicate ecosystem. Park rangers also offer exhibits and tours for visitors, which include educational tours of Fort Macon.

It is also commonplace


for Fort Macon State Park rangers to provide visitor services at the Coastal Education Center, a large exhibit hall that features exhibits related to:

Barrier island ecology

The natural history of the park

Coastal North Carolina

The natural and cultural history associated with Fort Macon

Park rangers at the Coastal Education Center organize regularly scheduled interpretive programs, as well as exploration programs for special groups and student groups.

Jockey’s Ridge State Park

Jockey’s Ridge State Park, which is situated in the Town of Nags Head, along North Carolina’s Outer Banks, serves as an unmistakable landmark for the millions of people who flock to North Carolina’s barrier islands each year. This “living dune” is managed by the North Carolina’s Division of Parks and Recreation.

Park rangers working at Jockey’s Ridge State Park are responsible for ensuring thered oaks, pines, and wax myrtles. The height of the dunes provide protection to the park’s maritime thicket from the ocean salt and strong winds, although the trees are smaller than ordinary, causing them to resemble shrubs. A number of larger animals, including faxes, raccoons, and deer, seek refuge in the maritime thicket.

Roanoke Sound Estuary – The Roanoke Sound estuary serves as a rich habitat for many fishes, waterfowl, and the blue crab, an important segment of the commercial fishing industry in North Carolina.

Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

The North Carolina State park rangers at Kerr Lake State Recreation Area in Henderson, North Carolina, are responsible for overseeing this massive State park, which includes the 50,000-acre, manmade Kerr Lake and its more than 800 miles of pristine shoreline.

The work


from Charlotte, welcomes more than 1.2 million visitors every year. Kerr Lake, which is one of the largest lakes in the Southeastern United States, is home to a wealth of recreational activities for outdoor enthusiasts, including fishing, swimming, boating, camping, hiking, and bird watching, just to name a few.

Situated in North Carolina’s Piedmont region (which lies in both Virginia and North Carolina), Kerr Lake State Recreation Area includes no less than 11 recreation areas, all of which are operated by the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation.

The 11 parks and recreational areas of Kerr Lake State Recreation Area include:

Flemingtown Road

Park rangers here host many interpretive and educational programs throughout the year, as well. Park ranger-led programs are also enjoyed at Satterwhite Point’s visitor center and exhibit hall.

Much of Kerr Lake State Recreation Area is covered by forests, and much of the forested areas are typical of those that exist throughout North Carolina’s Piedmont region. As such, there is a wide array of trees found here, including maples, sweetgums, maple gums, American beeches, and dogwoods, among others. Along the shoreline, willows, river birch, and alder trees are commonplace.

In addition to preserving the natural areas of Kerr Lake State


Recreation Area, State park rangers here are responsible for ensuring that the habitats for the area’s animals are protected. Just a few of the animals that call Kerr Lake State Recreation Area home include: white-tailed deer, raccoons, beavers, muskrats, and river otters.

Further, many birds of prey are found at Kerr Lake State Recreation Area, including red-tailed hawks, ospreys, and eagles, as well as wading birds, such as great blue herons and egrets.

Wright Brothers National Memorial

The Wright Brothers National Memorial, which is located in North Carolina’s Outer Banks in Kill Devil Hills, commemorates the first powered flights by brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1903. The Outer Banks in North Carolina, a small chain of barrier islands, has long been known for its steady winds, large sand dunes, andsoft, sandy beaches, thus becoming an instant attraction to the Wright brothers.

The Wright Brothers National Memorial was established on March 2, 1927, and is now fully managed by the National Park Service (NPS). The monument and related exhibits have become a must-see attraction for visitors to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. In fact, the National Memorial is situated on the same piece of land on which the Wright Brothers took flight in 1903.

In 1953, the National Park Service was granted permission to reconstruct two of the Wright brothers’ gliders in honor of the flight’s 50th anniversary. It was from this idea that the expansive visitors’ center and museum was built, thereby turning the memorial into an actual National Park. Since then, the Wright Brothers National Memorial has been one


of the Outer Banks most popular attractions, welcoming more than 500,000 visitors every year.

Serving the Public as a Park Ranger at the Wright Brothers National Memorial

The Wright Brothers National Memorial, which attracts aviation enthusiasts, history lovers, and vacation goers, consists of a massive granite memorial that stands 60 feet tall and can be seen from many points in the Outer Banks. The memorial serves as the entrance point to the expansive national park, which features 428 acres of manicured grounds, which are dotted with markers that provide visitors with information regarding the Wright brothers’ launching and landing points.

Some visitors even visit the National Memorial by plane and land at the 3,000-foot First Flight Airstrip.

Among the grounds of the Wright Brothers National Memorial are a numbers of museums, exhibits,and a visitors’ center, all of which celebrate not only the Wright brothers’ accomplishments and their work from 1900 to 1903, but the last century of flight, as well.

Visitors’ Center/Museum: The visitors’ center and museum feature a full-scale reproduction of the Wright brothers’ 1902 glider and 1903 flying machine, along with an engine block from their original 1903 flyer. Other interpretive displays are also located throughout the museum, and a number of seasonal programs are held here every year, along with Flight Room Talks, which are short sessions that recount the failures and successes of the Wright brothers during their years in Kill Devil Hills.

Living Quarters and Hangar: The memorial’s living quarters and hangar serve as replicas of the structures that the Wright brothers used during their time


in the Outer Bank. The living quarters even feature furniture and other items that the Wright brothers would have likely brought with them, while the hangar is an exact replica of the original storage area where they stored their famous 1903 flyer.

Centennial of Flight Museum: At just over 10 years old, the Centennial of Flight Museum was created to honor the 1903 flight’s 100-year celebration. It features a number of exhibits, including the Wright replicas and a number of exhibits donated and maintained by NASA.

I. The Facts.

Kala's parents, Kurt and Sara McMain, were divorced in 1992. The parents were granted joint custody, and Kala's primary care was granted to Kurt. Kurt and Kala lived in the home of Kurt's parents, Randy and Sue McMain, for over two years, but eventually moved into their own home with Kurt's new wife, Sheila. At that time, the relationship between Kurt and his parents deteriorated.
Kala was a serious disciplinary problem in day-care centers, in school, and at home. She had been ejected from one day-care center and faced possible ejection from another. Kala's family sought help for her. In 1993 Kala began to see various professionals, including an art therapist, a clinical child psychologist, and a physician. Kala was


criminal records? A. They often can. They certainly can, unless something's happened to begin modifying allowing them to attach to someone.
Dr. Barbara Cavallin, a clinical child psychologist, testified concerning Kala's future needs:
Q. What's going to have to happen in order for her to achieve her full potential? A. She's going to have to be in a stable environment for a long period of time. She's going to need a high level of structure to show cause and effect and help her get control of her behavior. She's going to need to be able to feel safe at all times and feel as though she knows who's going to be with her and who's going to take care of her. She's going to need a lot of tender lovingquite nicely.
Ann Wellander, Kala's therapist, concurred regarding Sheila's performance as a care giver and regarding the need for strict discipline to alter Kala's behavior pattern. Both the psychologist and the therapist testified that the fact that Kurt was then residing in the Fort Des Moines OWI facility did not change their opinions that Kala was receiving good home care. (Kurt was due to be released from the OWI facility in October 1995.)
Prior to the initial hearing, Kala's behavior improved substantially, due in large part to the structured environment provided by Sheila in cooperation with the therapist and psychologist. Ritalin and Mellaril were effectively treating her hyperactivity and inability to sleep. Kala was bonding with Sheila and was beginning to thrive. However, the probate court noted in its final


decision that Kala had regressed slightly during the pendency of the guardianship hearings (which were held in installments over approximately three months). A more structured environment in an inpatient treatment center appeared to be advisable as soon as an opening was available. Nevertheless, the prognosis for improvement in Kala's overall behavior seemed to be good.
Against this backdrop, these grandparents, Randy and Sue McMain, sought to have themselves appointed as guardians in the place of Kala's father and Sheila. While these grandparents obviously love Kala and have the best of intentions, they refuse to recognize the extent of Kala's psychological problems. They question whether she needs the medication that has been prescribed for her. Even in the face of the recommendations of the treating professionals that strong discipline isfrom that decision. Visitation for Kala with her grandparents was approved by the court twice monthly for a period of three hours. I would affirm the probate court and annul the writ of certiorari.
This case originated with the filing of a petition by Sue and Randy McMain to establish an involuntary guardianship over their granddaughter, Kala McMain, age six and one-half. After several hearings on the question of guardianship, the probate court held that it was not established that a guardianship was in the best interests of the child.[2] The court also concluded, however, that it was in the child's best interests to have visitation rights established with the grandparents.
Unfortunately, Kala's father, Kurt, now objects to Kala's having any contact, through visitation, with his parents. At the time


R.App.P. 14(f)(1).
The probate court found that Kala's parents were divorced and that her mother became unable to care for her where she lived in Illinois. Kurt and his parents then assumed the care of Kala at the grandparents' home in Altoona, Iowa. Kurt's mother, Sue McMain, became Kala's primary caretaker for over two years. Upon Kurt's marriage to Sheila Ann Morris, he moved to another home, taking Kala with him. Although the relationship between Sheila and Kurt's parents was initially satisfactory, it deteriorated.
Testimony was adduced concerning Kala's behavior problems. She was diagnosed as having an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder, both categorized as severe, as well as reactive attachment disorder. The court expressed concern for the effect of removing Kala from Kurt's home. Kala had beentaken from her mother's home at age three and from her grandparents' home at age five. Kala's stepmother then assumed primary care while Kurt served his sentence.
The probate court found that the grandparents tested normal and conventionally well adjusted in the psychological tests undertaken. Sheila, Kurt's wife, tested as someone who was assertive, dominant in close relationships, resentful of authority, resistive to external control, and scored low on the measure of social responsibility. She did appear, however, to have done well in caring for Kala and in dealing with her problems. Kurt scored low on measures of interpersonal dominance and social responsibility and was passive in nature.
Citing the preference that a parent has in a guardianship situation, the probate court held that the evidence was not sufficient to


England got the upper hand over the Republic of Ireland in tonight's match at the Waterford RSC thanks to a goal in each half.

The visitors were two goals to the good by the time substitute Paddy Madden replied for the Irish.

That goal on 67 minutes sparked a revival by Paul Doolin's side but they were unable to capitalise on their territorial advantage and grab an equaliser.

A positive start from the Irish suggested that they had enough quality to collect the victory from this fixture as James Chambers set up Ronan Finn for an early chance, but the midfielder's touch was too heavy and the ball got away from him at the crucial time.

Then Paul Byrne just missed out on connecting with a superb cross from Ross Gaynor asthe hosts turned on the style in the opening passage of play in front of a strong crowd.

But England had arrived with a gameplan and some good players. One of those, Andrew Fleming, smashed a header against the crossbar after a fine cross from Sean Newton.

Fleming then broke the deadlock on 27 minutes when he picked up a loose ball in midfield following a mistake by Ireland captain Stephen O'Donnell and cooly slotted in from the edge of the penalty area.

Ireland did respond well to that set-back with Finn having a shot blocked and Billy Dennehy blasting over as Doolin's youngsters streamed forward in search of an equalisier.

However, they fell further behind on 63 minutes when Max Porter scored from close range following a flick on from Tom


Cadmore after he rose highest to meet Fleming's corner.

That goal came against the run of play as it was the Irish who looked the more threatening and they fully deserved their goal when Gary McCabe played a delightful ball through to fellow substitute Paddy Madden, who fired in a left-footed strike.

Padraig Amond could have levelled matters when he broke free in the closing minutes, but the Sligo Rovers forward drilled his shot wide rather than across the face of the goal.

A spirited performance from the Irish came up just short as an impressive England side collected a deserved win to boost their chances of progressing further in the competition.SECONDS.

Too much is going wrong for the Bush administration: the failure of its Middle East wars, Republican senators jumping ship, Turkish troops massed on northern Iraq's border poised for an invasion to deal with Kurds, and a majority of Americans favoring the impeachment of Cheney and a near-majority favoring Bush's impeachment. The Bush administration desperately needs dramatic events to scare the American people and the Congress back in line with the militarist-police state that Bush and Cheney have fostered.

Works complete at Harcourt Valley Primary School

A native area of bushland at Harcourt Valley Primary School has been transformed through a partnership with Council.

Tuesday 23 October 2018

An overgrown area of native bushland at Harcourt Valley Primary School has been cleaned up and is now available for students to enjoy, as part of an arrangement with Mount Alexander Shire Council.

The area known as Ulambara is located at the corner of Mills and Coolstore Roads. It is next to the school’s basketball stadium that will soon be declared as a new Neighbourhood Safer Place – Bushfire Place of Last Resort.

Council officers worked with staff, parents, the Department of Education and Training and the CFA to identify the stadium as a Bushfire Place of Last Resort and carry out the worksBackground

Dadaab refugee camp is located in the North Eastern province of Kenya approximately 100 km from the border with Somalia. It was established in 1991, and, with an estimated 472,420 residents as of 8^th^ July 2012 \[[@B1]\], is reported to be the world's largest refugee camp, comprising three camps: Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley.

As a result of the deteriorating humanitarian situation caused by the continued conflict in Somalia and by the failure of rains from October to November 2010, the number of Somalis seeking refuge in Kenya (and elsewhere in the region) has steadily increased. Between January and November 2011, 154,450 individuals were newly-registered in Dadaab, in addition to the estimated 63,000 refugees registered during 2010 \[[@B2]\].

In 2007, the Kenyan government closed the transit and registration facilities in the


an exhaustive household survey in BB between 31 July and 10 August 2011. Enumerators were trained over the course of the three days prior to the survey commencing, with the questionnaire field-tested on the afternoon of the third day. The questionnaire was translated into Somali from the English original, and then back-translated into English to check for consistency in meaning.

All inhabited structures were visited by the survey teams and, when possible, a suitable respondent was identified, with whom the interviews were conducted. Owing to the small size of shelters in this context, the household definition used was "all individuals who regularly eat from the same cooking pot". Respondents were members of the household aged at least 18 years, and were usually the person identified as the head ofthe household. The purpose of the survey was explained to all respondents at the outset, and written consent (either signature or thumbprint) recorded for all participating respondents. In the case of there being no potential respondent present at the time of visit, enumerators were instructed to return to the household at the end of that day's session. If the household was still without potential respondent, the sheet was marked 'absent' and left unfilled. The enumerators recorded both the number of 'absent' households and the number of households refusing to participate in the survey.

We collected information relating to mortality during the recall period in all eligible households, which was used to calculate retrospective crude and under-5 year death rates. For any death reported during the recall period, information was


at the registration centre was increased to 30 years. In September 2011, a RVC was organized targeting individuals aged 15 to 30 years. It is worth noting that the RVC launched in August 2011 ran concurrently with the survey described in the article, and therefore the decision was taken not to include measles vaccination coverage in the survey, both because the results would have had no influence over any decision to launch such a campaign, and because the coverage at the end of the survey would have been different to the coverage at the start, thereby rendering the results immediately invalid. UNHCR and partner organisations assessed measles vaccination coverage in BB shortly after this campaign, and reported a coverage of 83.9% (95% CI: 73.7 -- 94.0%) among childrennot available at the time: low health facility utilisation rates and under-resourced community-based surveillance of epidemic-prone diseases meant that most measles cases occurring before July were not detected. In July 2011, by which time an outbreak had been declared and active community-based surveillance strengthened, more data were available which led MSF to advocate for a wider target age group for the RVC planned for early August, but this advocacy was unsuccessful due to the limited resources available for that particular campaign. The target age group for vaccination at registration was, however, expanded to include all individuals aged 9 months to 30 years. Owing to the failure of the August RVC to halt the epidemic, which peaked in August and September \[[@B9]\], adults aged 15--30 years were the target


-- Giora Proskurowski of the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle -- says the hydrogen-rich fluids venting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Lost City Hydrothermal Field were produced by the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth."

This statement is the first from a scientist which I have ever heard which definitively states that "hydrogen-rich fluids" are created by the "abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth."

If this is true, then the Earth is constantly replenishing its supply of crude oil and all natural gas products! What a staggering revelation! We shall return to the implications shortly, but now, let us return to this featured article.

This is the lie being perpetrated by the Illuminati on mankind in order to persuade us to dismantle this Old World Order, along with its consumption of commodities, most importantly oil. Senator Fritz Hollings (S.C.) revealed how panicked global leaders are on this subject, when he exclaimed, in his Southern drawl, "There's just too much consuming going on"!

In fact, this fear of consuming all of Earth's oil, leaving none for future generations, is the most important drive behind all the global efforts to create a worldwide government and economy. Now that we know that the

They discovered thousands of trees beginning to petrify and they discovered that the mass of organic material was already in the first stages of coal!

Mt. St. Helens contributed mightily to the "Young Earth" concept, which is why Mass Media never reprinted the original news stories in the Portland Oregonian. We expect Mass Media to similarly hide this reality.

IISc Director Professor Anurag Kumar said the professor, who has been working at IISc for 20 years, was asked to leave after the institute’s governing council recommended disciplinary action against him.

A senior professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), who was accused of sexual harassment by a doctoral student, has been asked to take “compulsory retirement”.

The professor has been identified as Giridhar Madras, who was with the chemical engineering department.

IISc Director Professor Anurag Kumar said the professor, who has been working at IISc for 20 years, was asked to leave after the institute’s governing council recommended


disciplinary action against him.

The governing council’s decision followed investigation by the institute’s internal complaints committee, which looked into the harassment complaint filed by the doctoral student who was being guided by the professor.

Giridhar Madras did not respond to phone calls or messages.

Last week, IISc Registrar V Rajarajan and members of the council had said that the “process of disciplinary action’’ had been set in motion, and it was yet to reach closure.

The disciplinary action was ordered under the central government service rules (Rule 11 of Central Civil Services Classification Control and Appeal Rules), which also govern disciplinary action against IISc employees for sexual harassment.

A profile of Giridhar Madras, which was on the IISc website a few days ago, has been taken down. An alumnus of IIT-Madras, he hasreceived numerous awards, including the CSIR’s prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award (2009), J C Bose National Fellowship, and the IISc award for excellence in research.

The professor, who did his doctorate from the US, has been described as “greatly contributing to the development of the chemical engineering field’’ since 1994 and has been highly cited for his research work.

In its 2017 policy statement on preventing and prohibiting sexual harassment at the workplace, IISc said it “believes that all its students deserve an education without fear from discrimination and sexual harassment, in order for their education to be more effective and valuable… The institute will not tolerate any form of sexual harassment and is committed to take all necessary steps to ensure that its women employees and students are not


ended with the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States; however, a feckless and incompetent Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, was appointed. Without informing the President, he recused himself from the Russia investigation and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, appointed Robert Mueller as the Special Counsel in May of 2017. Since that time, life has been miserable for Donald Trump as Mueller has been given an almost unlimited mandate. With that type of threat hanging over his head, the President has not enjoyed any respite from this overzealous Special Counsel and his team of partisan Democratic Party attorneys.With no real restrictions on his activities, Mueller went after a Trump campaign volunteer and his pick to be National Security Adviser for lying to the FBI.

On appeal, Scott asserts the same claim and further argues that the district court's reliance on the state and appellate courts' recitation of facts was erroneous.

Scott claimed his attorney failed to advise him of a reduced sentence that the prosecution had offered on the day of his arraignment on the concealed weapon charge.  We have reviewed the relevant facts and transcripts and conclude, contrary to Scott's claim, that an offer of a reduced sentence was not made and that counsel rendered effective assistance.  Wherefore, the dismissal was proper as lacking merit because Scott failed to prove that counsel's performance was deficient and that, but for counsel's

Donald Trump took fire from across the political spectrum Saturday for his repeated insistence that the election is "rigged."

"It looks to me like a rigged election," Trump said at New Hampshire rally on Saturday. "The election is being rigged by corrupt media pushing completely false allegations and outright lies in an effort to elect her president."

One notable ally, however, backed the Republican nominee. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions told the crowd in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, "They are attempting to rig this election."

AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan, rejected the claims on Saturday.
