In efforts to improve linearity at the higher output power levels when the amplifier is operated in saturation or close to saturation, the bias of the amplifying transistor has to be boosted with additional current during operation near saturation. Prior-art techniques used a cascode current mirror circuit, a modified Wilson current mirror circuit, or a stacked diode circuit with a capacitor to provide bias boosting for the RF amplifying transistor. Disadvantages of the cascode current mirror circuit and the modified Wilson current mirror circuit biasing schemes include the requirement of additional resistors to achieve accurate control of the

Molly Kreklow, a senior setter for No. 11 University of Missouri, has been named the Sports Imports/AVCA Division I National Player of the Week. It's been an historic season for the Tigers, leading the team to their best start in program history at 23-0 and first place in the SEC. In the first match of the weekend at home against Georgia, she had a season-best 52 assists including eight digs and six kills on .625 hitting in the four-set victory. Two days later, then-No. 18 Missouri played host to then-No. 2 Florida with the senior setter leading the Tigers to oneof the biggest regular season wins in recent memory. She tallied 45 assists, 11 digs, two blocks, and quarterbacked the offense to a team hitting percentage of .303, which was the first time Florida gave up a .300+ hitting percentage to an SEC opponent this season. More importantly in the decisive fourth set, Missouri hit .471 as a team with just one hitting error. For the week, she averaged 12.12 assists and 2.38 digs per set with her team hitting at a .347 clip. Nationally, her 12.43 assists per set places her second behind Lipscomb's Caitlin Dotson 12.94 average. This is the sixth time a student-athlete from Missouri and the second for Kreklow to be named the Sports Imports/AVCA Division I National Player of the Week. She previously

(4) Count IX of the amended information alleged that appellant pled nolo contendere to an offense "on or about the summer of 1978." The original three-year statute of limitations would have expired "on or about the summer of 1981." However, effective January 1, 1981, the statute of limitations was extended to five years. Since the statute of limitations had not yet run, the new prosecution deadline became "on or about the summer of 1983." Effective January 1, 1982, the statute of limitations was extended to six years. Since the statute of limitations had not yet run, as of January 1, 1982, the new deadline was extended further to "on or aboutthe summer of 1984." Count IX was the successor to count X in the original information filed April 20, 1984. We take judicial notice (Evid. Code, §§ 451, subd. (f), 459) that summer is defined as "1. the warmest season of the year, in the North Temperate Zone generally regarded as including the months of June, July, and August: in the astronomical year, that period between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox ..." (Webster's New World Dict. (2d college ed. 1982) p. 1426). Summer solstice is "the time during the summer when the sun is farthest from the equator: June 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere." (Ibid.) This being the case, count IX was timely filed.

his discharge.  On July 23, 1991, the Union notified Trover of its intent to arbitrate but did not select an arbitrator until December 23, 1991.  The Union justified the five month delay as having been "due to the grievance being reviewed by the regional and national union office ... [and] then sent for review by counsel."  (Aplt.'s App. at 14.)   Trover agreed to the selection, but reserved an objection as to its timeliness.

On March 26, 1992 the arbitrator dismissed Edwards' grievance as untimely in light of the delay between the time the Union notified Trover of its intent to arbitrate and the time the arbitrator was actually selected.  On June 22, 1992, still acting exclusively on behalf of Edwards, the Union filedletters on December 23, 1992, March 29, 1993, and May 7, 1993.  Edwards assumed the delay, like the delay in selecting the arbitrator, was the result of the intra-union review process.  (Aplt.'s Br. at 6.)

Eight months after being notified of the district court's order denying the Union's motion to vacate the award, and still having received no response from the Union to his demand letters, Edwards filed suit against the Union for breach of its duty of fair representation.  See Complaint, No. 93-455-NJ (filed July 6, 1993) (Aplt.'s App. at 1-4).  Edwards asserted no claims against Trover in this second lawsuit, and Trover was not a named defendant.

The Union moved to dismiss Edwards' suit on July 29, 1993, asserting it was barred by the


The World of Animism

From Genesis to the present, the biblical worldview has clashed with the worldview of animism. Animism (or folk religion) is a religion that sees a spirit or spiritual force behind every event, and many objects of the physical world carry some spiritual significance.

In most parts of the world, animism blends in with formal religions. Among followers of the major religions lie many animistic beliefs and practices. Animistic beliefs actually dominate the world. Most Taiwanese believe in the Chinese folk religions. Most Hindus and Muslims in Central and Southeast Asia, and most Buddhists in China and Japan combine their religion with various animistic beliefs and practices. In many parts of the world, Christianity has not displaced the local folk religion but coexists beside it in anuneasy tension.

The animistic worldview contains both the observed or physical world and the unseen or spirit world. There is no sharp distinction between the two realities; what happens in one affects the other. The seen or physical world consists of what we can see, feel, and experience. It includes forces of nature and physical beings. In the seen world the earth plays a prominent role because it is viewed as a living entity and is often worshipped as Mother Earth. Nature is believed to be alive. Hills, caves, mountains, and lakes are often revered as sacred places. Animals may be embodiments of spirits. Many are worshipped as sacred, such as the cow and monkey in India.

Plants can also contain spirits and some are worshipped. Forests are seen as


gods but His sovereign act of bringing people back to Himself.Themes in Animism

Do you ever wonder why some Christians worship their ancestors? It derives from the first of several themes within the ancient religion of animism. The first of the themes is a community-centered life. The ancestors, the living, and the unborn are the center of existence. The clan life is the most important entity because an individual has meaning only in the context of a community.

The second theme is the role of the spirit world. Humans live in a world surrounded by supernatural beings and forces, most of which are hostile to humans. The worlds of the seen and the unseen are interconnected. For this reason, people spend their time seeking to appease the gods, the spirits,gods and spirits. The gods gave the people their land, and that is where the ancestors reside. In battles, victories and defeats are attributed to the power of the territorial gods.

Finally, fear plays a major role. In a world full of spirits, omens, and spells, life is rarely secure. Many see the world as a hostile and dangerous place filled with spirits and forces antagonistic to people. Seemingly mundane activities such as moving the wrong rock can bring potential disaster. People turn to their ancestors, gods and spirits for protection.

The focus of the Christian life, in contrast, is the relationship believers have with God. God's relationship with mankind is based on grace and love. Since God is gracious, He does not need to be constantly appeased by believers.


and suffering, we do not live in fear but in faith, trusting in the character of God.Gods in Animism

It may surprise you that most animistic religions teach that there exists one Supreme Being. He is often described as omniscient, eternal, beneficent, omnipotent and righteous. He is the creator, the moral lawgiver, punishes those who do evil, and blesses those who do good.

However, this being has distanced himself from man and cannot be known personally. Legends abound that he was once near but was angered with man and removed himself. He left men to their own devices and used lesser gods and spirits to do His will and serve as His ambassadors.

Therefore, most of the worship goes to the lesser gods and spirits who are in direct contact withthe supreme God is called Hananim. The Gedeo people of Ethiopia call Him Magano. Missionaries use this belief of a high God to point people to the God of the Bible.

Following the Supreme God is a host of lesser gods. These beings mediate between man and the Supreme Being, but must first be paid homage. Gods possess specific powers and are localized to a geographical area. The gods inhabit places such as rivers, mountains, forests, oceans, etc. Some gods exercise power over human affairs (business, marriage, death, etc.) other gods exercise powers over nature (storms, rain, etc.) Among the Hawaiians, Lono is the god of the oceans and controls the clouds and storms. Pele, the fire goddess, dwells in the volcanoes. Many still honor these gods in Hawaii


free to wander near the grave, travel the earth, or enter the world of the spirits. The spirits of the ancestors participate in the daily lives of family members. Neglecting to honor them has severe consequences. Souls of the departed who did not live fulfilled lives or died tragic deaths become ghosts. Ghosts search for bodies to inhabit and often bring harm.

At death, one enters the realm of the ancestors who maintain a relationship with the family. Ancestors remain deeply interested in the family they began. They care for, protect, and punish those who seek to do harm.

Ancestors are revered for several reasons. First, as the founders of the family, they remain interested in the care of the family. Second, they have answered the question of what followsthe shaman or the medicine man. He can cure sicknesses. He directs sacrificial rites and escorts souls to the other world. At times he can leave his body and observe events from a distance. He is born into the family or earns the job by passing tests and rituals. There is also the sacred king. Then there are sub-humans such as trolls and water spirits. Finally there are "little people," such as leprechauns.

Seventh, there are sacred rituals that must be performed regularly. The head of the family performs some; others require the expertise of the priests.

Eighth, there is the practice of magic and divination. The art of casting spells and communicating with the spirit world are reserved for the priests.

The Christian must be aware when his practices are

A former Canadian nursing home worker accused of eight counts of murder is facing six new charges.

Ontario Police Provincial charged Elizabeth Wettlauffer with four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

Ms Wettlauffer already faces first-degree murder charges for patients under her care in two southwestern Ontario nursing homes.

The new offences alleged took place between 2007 and 2016.

Police say the latest charges involve four residents of Caressant Care in the town of Woodstock, one resident of Telfer Place in nearby Paris, and one resident who lived in a private residence in Oxford County, Ontario.

Four of the six victims have since died, though police did not link Ms Wettlauffer to their deaths.

In a statement,


Revera Living, which owns Telfer Place, said the case had been "disturbing and heart-breaking" but that the elderly resident involved in the alleged September 2015 assault "is doing well".

A Caressant Care Woodstock representative said the care home continues to co-operate fully with the police investigation.

Last fall, the former nurse was charged by police in the deaths of seniors between 75 and 96 years old.

Police said seven of the victims were given a fatal dose of a drug.

The victims were five women and three men and were all residents of Caressant Care and Meadow Park in London, Ontario.

Sandra Zisckind, a lawyer representing two of the victims' families, said on Friday that they plan to file a civil lawsuit against the care homes involved.

The 49-year-old made her first in-person courtthe trunk, wrists, and thighs with similar morphology as prior. At that time, hydroxychloroquine was discontinued, and the decision was made to trial isotretinoin, 20 mg daily, as the next course of treatment. Prior to initiation, the patient\'s pregnancy test was negative. Additionally, her baseline complete blood count, blood chemistry, liver function, and lipid studies were all within normal limits as were her follow-up studies. By 2 months on treatment, improvement in hyperpigmentation was observed, and stabilization of disease, with no new LPP eruptions, was achieved by 3 months. By 9 months of treatment, the patient had dramatically improved from her pretreatment appearance with near-complete resolution of her bluish gray dyschromia in both her facial and body lesions equally. Her minimal residual dyschromia was brown in color. Additionally, the patient\'s satisfaction in her

Thalassodromeus was a large pterodactyloid from northeastern Brazil, named in 2002 by Alexander Kellner and Diogenes de Almeida Campos. It is from the Early Cretaceous Santana Formation. It not only was a large pterosaur, but had a huge and robust crest, which began above the snout and extended far behind the braincase. This enormous pterosaur may have filled a niche similar to that of the giant azhdarchid pterosaurs that proliferated later in the Cretaceous.Times changed in 2002. So did we.

the reports for 1965 and 1966 were accepted February 9, 1967.
Thereafter, on February 13, 1967, Hudson Oil exercised the option to purchase and on March 1, 1967, FCA attempted to terminate the lease on the ground that Hudson Oil had violated a provision in the lease stating that Hudson Oil intended "to use the leased premises for a gasoline station, or any other lawful purpose". (Emphasis supplied.)
I.
We consider first FCA's claim that the lease is void because at the time it was entered into Hudson Oil had not yet qualified to do business in Michigan and was, therefore, incapable "of making a valid contract in this State." The quoted words are contained in § 95 of the general corporation act which reads in part as follows:
"No foreign corporationwas then circulated for signature by the landlord and the tenant. The property was at the time owned by an individual who lived in Detroit and by a man and his wife who lived in Louisiana. The holders of the landlord's interest signed the lease first, and, thereafter, it was sent to Hudson Oil in Kansas City, Kansas, for signature. Some time on or after May 16, 1963, the lease was signed and transmitted from Kansas to Michigan. The record evidence would not support a finding that the lease was made other than "where it was lawful to make it."
Moreover, at the time the lease was entered into, Hudson Oil was not incapable of making a valid contract in Michigan. Although § 95 by its terms would literally


A museum dedicated to life and murder of a young and prominent journalist Alisher Saipov opens its doors in the southern capital of Kyrgyzstan, Osh city, where ten years ago, on 24 October, two bullets, the assassin shot at the journalist, stopped his independent voice.

It is a separate room in the house where the family of Alisher collected his personal belongings. On the hanger hangs a suit in which the journalist was on the day of the murder. Here you can see the books that Alisher liked to read, his photographic equipment, university degrees, certificates, copies of the newspaper he published...

Alisher Saipov is 26-year-oldforever. The assassin shot him on the street when Alisher was catching a taxi. There were three shots: one bullet hit the leg, two more - the back of his head. The murder remains unsolved so far. Well, there is one convict in this case, but Saipov's family do not believe the authorities found the guilty one.

Zulaiho, the daughter of Alisher. She was only two months old when the tragedy hit her family

And the motivation of the murder of Alisher is quite obvious: his position killed him. He was a talented and brave political journalist. He covered the very beginning of the "March Revolution" in 2005 in Kyrgyzstan, told about the consequences of the "Andijan Tragedy" in Uzbekistan.

Alisher was Fergana News correspondent, Voice of America and Radio Liberty


radio stations, worked as a stringer for other publications, established and led the Siyosat (Politika) newspaper shortly before his death. The edition published in Uzbek quickly gained popularity in the south of Kyrgyzstan. Sharp materials criticising the regime of Islam Karimov excited interest in neighbouring Uzbekistan, where readers could smuggle the paper. According to rumours, ten thousand US dollars bounty on Alisher Saipov's head could award a potential killer.

Alisher knew about it. He remained fearless.

Journalists Memorial in Washington DC immortalised Alisher's name in April 2008 on a memorial plaque paying tribute to the memory of journalists who died reporting the news. In Kyrgyzstan, colleagues of Alisher Saipov established a special prize named after him, who severalyears have been awarding young journalists who honestly and boldly do their job.

Day of Remembrance of Alisher Saipov, 24 October 2017

In 2017, the Saipov family decided to resume the release of the "Siyosat" newspaper and timed the release of the first issue on the day of the memory of its founder. On the eve of this date, the book "Siz Bilgan va Bilmagan Alisher Soipov" ("Alisher Saipov, about which you knew and did not know") came out. It contains all the publications of the late journalist. Soon they will appear on the website dedicated to Alisher Saipov.

Detroit Diesel Corporation designs and manufactures diesel engines at a plant in Detroit, Michigan. The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Workers of America Local 163(UAW) represents the production and maintenance personnel employed by Detroit Diesel. Operating under an agreement collectively bargained between Detroit Diesel and the UAW, Detroit Diesel provided health care insurance coverage to its retirees as of 1993. In that year, Detroit Diesel and the UAW entered into the first of a series of "Cap Agreements," which purported to limit the yearly expenditures by Detroit Diesel for the health care costs of workers who retired after the firstcare benefits upon retirement was not affected by the plain language of the Cap Agreement.
Third, that the plain language of the Cap Agreement meant only what it purported to say was confirmed by Detroit Diesel in a writing executed contemporaneously with the first Cap Agreement in 1993. Insofar as the Cap Agreement language might be construed as impliedly transferring potential responsibility for future above-cap costs to retirees, the UAW sought clarification from Detroit Diesel prior to entering into the first Cap Agreement. The reassuring answer came in the form of a letter from Detroit Diesel Senior Vice President Paul F. Walters to UAW Regional Director Robert King, "the Walters letter," which both sides urge us to consult in construing the Cap Agreement language. Walters made it clear that

Prominent clinical features in the patient reported herein included peripheral corneal gutter with superficial vascularization, an intact epithelium and lipid deposition in front of the leading vascular edge consistent with a diagnosis of Terrien's marginal degeneration.

Terrien's marginal degeneration is a rare, slowly progressive peripheral corneal thinning disorder first described in 1900.[@b9-jovr-07-60] The condition is usually bilateral and starts in the superonasal quadrant as fine, yellow-white punctate stromal opacities that may progress along the circumference of the cornea. It is further characterized by vascularization at the base of the lesions, and scarring and lipid infiltration at its leading edge. Although the etiology of this entity remains unknown, its clinical characteristics and course have been well described. The classic form mostan Indian woman has been crowned the winner.

Five days after the sale to Glencore and the Qataris was announced, President Trump appointed an oilman, Rex Tillerson, as secretary of state.

The Rosneft deal, described as a 50-50 acquisition, soon went off the rails. Glencore said it had offered only token cash for the transaction. The Qataris, who had reportedly put €2.5 billion into the transaction, said nothing. An Italian bank, Intesa, appeared to be guaranteeing $5 billion on behalf of a Cayman Islands company whose ownership no one would divulge. A Reuters analysis found reason to think that a state-controlled Russian bank had channeled the entire sale through a Singapore shell company.

In other words, Putin got


one of the largest “private” companies in China, and one of the most closely held. Given the back-alley character of the transaction, it is unclear whether the sellers realized any gain.

Meanwhile, oil income was down, Russian expenditures—especially pensions—were up, and Russia was still starved of Western financing. Multilateral organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, were pressing Putin to privatize state companies. The new Chinese owners might have passed the privatization test—until two weeks ago, when the takeover of CEFC by two state-controlled Chinese companies was reported. One report suggests that CEFC’s head was looting the company and did not have the cash to buy the Rosneft shares. The Chinese government stepped in.

China’s Ministry of Finance, in combination with a state-controlled insurance company, will become owners of more thana major chunk of Russian oil.

ORIGIN OF THE IDEA OF RACE

by Audrey Smedley

Anthropology Newsletter, November 1997 Contemporary scholars agree that "race" was a recent invention and that it was essentially a folk idea, not a product of scientific research and discovery. This is not new to anthropologists. Since the 1940s when Ashley Montagu argued against the use of the term "race" in science, a growing number of scholars in many disciplines have declared that the real meaning of race in American society has to do with social realities, quite distinct from physical variations in the human species. I argue that race was institutionalized beginning in the 18th century as a worldview, a set of culturally created attitudes and beliefs about human group differences. Slavery and the Coming of Africans Race and its ideology


about human differences arose out of the context of African slavery. But many peoples throughout history have been enslaved without the imposition of racial ideology. When we look at 17th century colonial America before the enactment of laws legitimizing slavery only for Africans and their descendants (after 1660), several facts become clear. 1). The first people that the English tried to enslave and place on plantations were the Irish with whom they had had hostile relations since the 13th century. 2) Some Englishmen had proposed laws enslaving the poor in England and in the colonies to force them to work indefinitely. 3) Most of the slaves on English plantations in Barbados and Jamaica were Irish and Indians. 4) Many historians point out that African servants and bonded indenturedwhite servants were treated much the same way. They often joined together, as in the case of Bacon's Rebellion (1676) to oppose the strict and oppressive laws of the colonial government. In the latter part of the 17th century the demand for labor grew enormously. It had become clear that neither Irishmen nor Indians made good slaves. More than that, the real threats to social order were the poor freed whites who demanded lands and privileges that the upper class colonial governments refused. Some colonial leaders argued that turning to African labor provided a buffer against the masses of poor whites. Until the 18th century the image of Africans was generally positive. They were farmers and cattle-breeders; they had industries, arts and crafts, governments and commerce. In addition,


Africans had immunities to Old World diseases. They were better laborers and they had nowhere to escape to once transplanted to the New World. The colonists themselves came to believe that they could not survive without Africans. When some Englishmen entered slave trading directly, it became clear that many of the English public had misgivings about slave-trading and re-creating slavery on English soil. It was an era when the ideals of equality, justice, democracy, and human rights were becoming dominant features of Western political philosophy. Those involved in the trade rationalized their actions by arguing that the Africans were heathens after all, and it was a Christian duty to save their souls. By the early part of the 18th century, the institution was fully established for Africans andtheir descendants. Large numbers of slaves flooded the southern colonies and even some northern ones. Sometimes they outnumbered whites, and the laws governing slavery became increasingly harsher. A New Social Identity Toward the end of the eighteenth century, the image of Africans began to change dramatically. The major catalyst for this transformation was the rise of a powerful antislavery movement that expanded and strengthened during the Revolutionary Era both in Europe and in the United States. As a consequence proslavery forces found it necessary to develop new arguments for defending the institution. Focusing on physical differences, they turned to the notion of the natural inferiority of Africans and thus their God-given suitability for slavery. Such arguments became more frequent and strident from the end of the eighteenth century


on, and the characterizations of Africans became more negative. From here we see the structuring of the ideological components of "race." The term "race," which had been a classificatory term like "type," or "kind," but with ambiguous meaning, became more widely used in the eighteenth century, and crystallized into a distinct reference for Africans, Indians and Europeans. By focusing on the physical and status differences between the conquered and enslaved peoples, and Europeans, the emerging ideology linked the socio-political status and physical traits together and created a new form of social identity. Proslavery leaders among the colonists formulated a new ideology that merged all Europeans together, rich and poor, and fashioned a social system of ranked physically distinct groups. The model for "race" and "races" was the GreatChain of Being or Scale of Nature (Scala Naturae), a semi-scientific theory of a natural hierarchy of all living things, derived from classical Greek writings. The physical features of different groups became markers or symbols of their status on this scale, and thus justified their positions within the social system. Race ideology proclaimed that the social, spiritual, moral, and intellectual inequality of different groups was, like their physical traits, natural, innate, inherited, and unalterable. Thus was created the only slave system in the world that became exclusively "racial." By limiting perpetual servitude to Africans and their descendants, colonists were proclaiming that blacks would forever be at the bottom of the social hierarchy. By keeping blacks, Indians and whites socially and spatially separated and enforcing endogamous mating, they were


earlier. This was a major transformation in thought about who Africans were. Historian George Fredrickson states explicitly that "before 1830 open assertions of permanent black inferiority were exceedingly rare" (The Black Image in the White Mind, 1987). By mid-century, the ideology of "negro inferiority" dominated both popular and scholarly thought. Science and the Justification for "Races" What is so striking about the American experience in creating such an extreme conception of human differences was the role played by scientists and scholars in legitimizing the folk ideas. Scholarly writers began attempting to prove scientifically that "the Negro" was a different and lower kind of human being. The first published materials arguing from a scientific perspective that "negroes" were a separate species from white men appeared in the last decadeof the eighteenth century. They argued that Negroes were either a product of degeneration from that first creation, or descendants of a separate creation altogether. American intellectuals appropriated, and rigidified, the categories of human groups established by European scholars during the eighteenth century, but ignored Blumenbach's caution that human groups blend insensibly into one another, so that it is impossible to place precise boundaries around them. When Dr. Samuel Morton in the 1830s initiated the field of craniometry, the first school of American anthropology, proponents of race ideology received the most powerful scientific support yet. Measuring the insides of crania collected from many populations, he offered "evidence" that the Negro had a smaller brain than whites, with Indians in-between. Morton is also famous for his involvement in a


major scientific controversy over creation. The very existence of a scientific debate over whether blacks and whites were products of a single creation, or of multiple creations, especially in a society dominated by Biblical explanations, seems anomalous. It indicates that the differences between "races" had been so magnified and exaggerated that popular consciousness had already widely accepted the idea of blacks being a different and inferior species of humans. Justice Taney's decision reflected this, declaring, "the negro is a different order of being." Thus slave-owners' rights to their "property" were upheld in law by appeal to the newly invented identity of peoples from Africa. Scientists collaborated in confirming popular beliefs, and publications appeared on a regular basis providing the "proof" that comforted the white public. That some socialleaders were conscious of their role in giving credibility to the invented myths is manifest in statements such as that found in the Charleston Medical Journal after Dr. Morton's death. It states, "We can only say that we of the South should consider him as our benefactor, for aiding most materially in giving to the negro his true position as an inferior race" (emphasis added). George Gliddon, co-editor of a famous scientific book Types of Mankind, (1854) which argued that Negroes were closer to apes than to humans and ranked all other groups between whites and Negroes, sent a copy of the book to a famous southern politician, saying that he was sure the south would appreciate the powerful support that this book gave for its "peculiar institution"


(slavery). Like another famous tome (The Bell Curve, 1995) this was an 800-page book whose first edition sold out immediately; it went through nine other editions before the end of the century. What it said about the inferiority of blacks became widely known, even by those who could not read it. During discussions in the U.S. Senate on the future of "the negro" after slavery, James Henry Hammond proclaimed in 1858 "somebody has to be the mudsills of society, to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life." Negroes were destined to be the mudsills. This was to be their place, one consciously created for them by a society whose cultural values now made it impossible to assimilate them. In the many decades since the CivilWar, white society made giant strides to "keep the negro in his place." Public policies and the customs and practices of millions of Americans expressed this racial worldview throughout the twentieth century. These are some of the circumstances surrounding the origin of the racial worldview in North America. Race ideology was a mechanism justifying what had already been established as unequal social groups; it was from its inception, and is today, about who should have access to privilege, power, status, and wealth, and who should not. As a useful political ideology for conquerors, it spread into colonial situations around the world. It was promulgated in the latter half of the 19th century by some Europeans against other Europeans and reached its most extreme development in the twentieth century

The zebra finch distribution encompasses most of the Australian continent and it is particularly common in the arid and semi-arid zone32. It is nomadic, mostly colonial, and breeds opportunistically throughout the year33,34. Zebra finches have life-long social monogamy and highly coordinated parental care, with both parents sharing incubation duties32,35.

The field study was conducted at Bimbowrie Conservation Park, South Australia (GPS: −32.048935; 140.161977), located in the arid interior. The study area consisted of open shrubland on a flood plain dominated by Acacia species (Acacia victoriae, A. aneura, A. oswaldii and A. carneorum) and inland rosewood trees (Alectryion oleifolius) typically hosting thick mistletoe clumps (Lysiana exocarpi). The study area extended between two artificial watering points used by zebra finches, 7 km apart. Rain at the fieldwere approved by Deakin University Animal Ethics Committee (permit numbers B18-2017 and G06-2017) and the South Australian Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR; permit U26305-4). All experiments were performed in accordance with Australian guidelines and regulations for the use of animals in research.

Acoustic analyses

For both field and lab recordings, spectrograms were inspected visually in Adobe Audition (Creative Cloud 2018) for the presence of incubation calls, by an experimenter, blind to the nest/bird identity, date and time of day12. The first and second recording per bird in the chamber were analysed by two different experimenters. Start and end time of incubation calling sequences were noted, where calls within 20 seconds of each other were considered as belonging to the same sequence. Sequence durations were summed, and divided

Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 is going to launch globally at the end of next year.

The games console will come with a new controller that uses enhanced vibration technology.

It will feature a solid-state drive that means games will boot up faster and cut loading times.

The console's graphics also get an upgrade with the addition of new technology to improve lighting effects.

The update appears to offer similar upgrades to Microsoft's rival Xbox console.

The latest version of the Xbox, currently known as Project Scarlett, is also being released around Christmas 2020.

As is often the case, the first few witnesses in a trial are called to set groundwork for what is to come. But even in that, 19 Action News learned that there were early clues that something was wrong on Imperial Avenue, and that there were family rifts developing over accused serial killer Anthony Sowell.

All of the witnesses did not want to be photographed. So 19 Action News got a long look at Sowell's reactions to what was said.

As his stepmother's mother was asked to identify him, he stood. The 89-year-old warmly greeted him.

The hint of trouble in the family came from Sowell's half brother, who said Anthony had stopped paying rent to his stepmom for his third floor dwelling, and she was getting ready to have himevicted, but she became ill and was hospitalized. Her mother was on the stand and told jurors that another grandson told her he had visited the home and reported odors.

"Oh, a long time ago. It started....from 2004 and up...2005. I don't remember the exact date but it was a very, very bad smell," Tayeh said. "So I walked to the dumpster I open it and the smell is so bad and I saw like a garbage bag with duct tape and I close it very fast."

Tayeh said he also sold Sowell heavy-duty garbage bags.

Sowell faces the death penalty if convicted of murdering eleven women. The bodies of the victims were found in and around Sowell's Imperial Avenue home in late 2009.

The SSLC must be obtained at the end of term of study at the secondary
school. On obtaining this certificate, the student is deemed to have
completed his basic schooling or basic education. After successful
completion of SSLC, a student wishing to pursue his education further
would join a course based on the specialization he chooses and which
gives him knowledge sufficient for him to enter a university which is
sometimes called a Pre-University Course (PUC), for two years.

After this twelve-year period of study a student may enter a university for undergraduate studies. Alternatively, after obtaining the SSLC, a student may choose to attend an industrial training institute where one can be trained in skills


necessary for technical occupations.

The other options include joining polytechnic for a three-year course
of diploma in engineering and then further pursuing degree in
engineering after the completion of diploma.

The SSLC is obtained by passing a public examination, i.e., an examination that has been formulated by the regional board of education
that the school is affiliated with, and not by members of the faculty
of the school. The performance of a student in the SSLC examination is
one of the factors in admission to Pre University Courses in India.
Therefore, the SSLC is often regarded as the first important examination
that a student undertakes.
The SSLC certificate was used as the primary form of proof for Date
of Birth during the time when Registration of Births and Deaths was not

The arch band is intersected by multiple flow passages that permit bonding cement deposited on the back side surface of the arch band to flow or extrude onto the facial side surface as the arch band is pressed against the patient's teeth. Symmetrical construction of the head portions allows universal coupling engagement and manipulation by installation and de-bonding tools.

Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards of Fort Washington represents Maryland's 4th Congressional District. She was sworn in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 110th Congress in June 2008, and began her first full-term in the 111th Congress in 2009. Congresswoman Edwards serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee, where she is the Ranking Member on the Space Subcommittee.
Congresswoman Edwards has actively participated in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee where she is now the Chair of the Recruitment Committee.
Congresswoman Edwards has enjoyed a diverse career as a nonprofit public interest advocate and in the private sector on NASAs Spacelab project. Before serving in Congress, she was the executive director of the Arca Foundation in Washington, DC.
Congresswoman


Edwards co-founded the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV); the first executive of the NNEDV, she led the effort to pass The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
Congresswoman Edwards completed undergraduate studies at Wake Forest University and received her Juris Doctor from the University of New Hampshire School of Law (formerly the Franklin Pierce Law Center). She is the proud mother of an adult son.

Why am I running?

When her son decided on a college, Congresswoman Edwards decided it was time to become a member of the institution whose policies she worked so hard to change, the U.S. House of Representatives. At the time, she said I ran for Congress because I believe I represent the hopes and valuesfight to protect Social Security for seniors and future generations is of the utmost importance for Maryland's 4th Congressional District, which currently has over 77,000 recipients. Rep. Edwards led the fight to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid during the debt ceiling crisis negotiations by authoring a letter to President Obama with 69 other Members of Congress urging no benefit reductions. She has continued that effort by joining with her colleagues to urge the Members of the Deficit Super Committee not to cut these programs that are a lifeline for millions of Americans.

My DFA Values

Congresswoman Edwards is an outspoken advocate for DFA's shared values and has worked tirelessly as a Member of Congress to create a more fair and equal society on behalf of working families throughout the


country.

My Campaign is People Powered!

Before coming to Congress, Congresswoman Edwards enjoyed a long career as a nonprofit public interest advocate and grassroots organizer. Congresswoman Edwards used those experiences in each of her previous campaigns, and will continue to do so in 2013 and beyond. First, we are strengthening our large volunteer organization, allowing the campaign to reach out directly to discuss issues and policies with residents in Maryland's 4th Congressional District. Second, Congresswoman Edwards' campaign is supported by Americans from throughout the Congressional District and across the country. People who share her progressive values and see her as a leading voice in Congress on behalf of working Americans. During her time in Congress, Congresswoman Edwards has been a leader in using new media (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, tele-town halls)The West is showing evidence of a newly stiffened spine in the face of Saudi Arabian influence on Islamic culture – and none too soon.

The world heard the get-tough rhetoric of President Trump last May in the Saudi capital of Riyadh when he admonished Muslim leaders to begin “honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires.”

Now Europe is finding its voice with a new willingness to pressure the Saudi Arabian government to end its spread of extreme Islamic ideology, known in the West as Wahhabism.

In Brussels, the Belgian government has broken a 99-year sweetheart lease – given rent-free to Saudi Arabia in 1969 – that has turned into an extremist focal point.

The lease covered the Brussels’ Grand Mosque, located on prime real


hard for the government of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to pull back from Wahhabist support – a push that appears to be working.

For decades European and U.S. leaders bit their tongues while the Saudi governments spent billions of dollars indoctrinating Sunni Muslim communities around the world in extremist ideology in the web of mosques and schools Riyadh supports. During this time, the West was hit time and again with terrorist attacks in which the taint of extremist Islam was clearly a factor.

Since 2005, for a project of the Center for Religious Freedom, I have directed the gathering, translation and analysis of four editions of religious educational texts published by the Saudi Arabian government.

As I told Congress in testimony last July, 16 years after the 9/11 attackswere being used by ISIS in schools in its then-stronghold of Mosul, Iraq, the State Department concealed the incitement in the textbooks of our strategic Saudi ally.

Upon the urging of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, the State Department once commissioned an independent review of the Saudi textbooks (2011-2012 edition), which cited and effectively supported my findings, then immediately classified this review. A Freedom of Information Act request in 2016 forced the department to make the findings public.

The West seems to be finally waking up. The new assertiveness shows official recognition of the link between Islamist ideology and terror, and our governments must keep it up.

Women drivers, economic diversification and the other promises for modernization of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bring hope about Saudi Arabia’s future,

Dr. Tiller was a hero; though his clinic was protested and vandalized, though there was an ongoing campaign of harassment against him and the other workers, though he was shot in both arms in 1993, he kept working, putting the lives of women ahead of his own. To read about some of the harassment tactics that the non-violent protesters used against his workers, go here.

Ad-hoc peace or ad-hoc war: micro-geopolitics of Central Asia and the Caucasus

A few weeks before the April 2-5 fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenia, a border crisis occurred between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan on March 18-26. Some observers connected these two events as links in the same chain. Indeed, both cases revolve around so-called frozen conflicts in the post-Soviet space; where one of the conflicting sides is a CSTO member and the other is not; and where speculations proliferate of a hidden Russian hand in both the instigation and mediation of the clashes. The two conflicts can be seen as a by-product of the same process – the continuing divergence of the former single Soviet space.

BACKGROUND: This year, all former Soviet republics celebrate the quarter-century anniversary of theirthe intention to take control of the disputed lands by force.

In the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, both sides appeal to history and historical documents, attempting to validate their assertions about Karabakh. In Central Asia, the sides usually refrain from waving historical documents, probably because the documents rarely confirm the validity of territorial claims but, on the contrary, common rights to certain lands, installations and infrastructure in the border areas.

In the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, mutual antagonism originates from so-far unaccomplished sovereignty; whereas in Central Asia tension originates from unaccomplished regional integration. The former case is marked by inter-ethnic division, where two ethnically different peoples cannot find the formula for separation by completing their sovereignty. The latter has a dimension of resource distribution, but also lacks a formula for reunifying


cases where two states claim a certain territory as exclusively their ancestral lands or in border disputes between two states engaged in regional integration, with equal rights to certain lands. If territorial integrity and national self-determination are seen as divergent absolutes, they will be of little help in finding solutions acceptable to both conflicting sides.

Second, peaceful coexistence between Azerbaijanis and Armenians in the Caucasus and Uzbeks and Kyrgyz in Central Asia was not only possible during the Soviet period; it was a firmly established fact because it concerned coexistence between peoples rather than polities. The previous atmosphere of coexistence among a single Soviet people is now poisoned by the revival of archaic nationalism, which obscures forces of peace and induces forces of war.

These two assertions, however, bring usback to the 1920s when the Soviet power conducted national delimitation in Central Asia and the Caucasus in an adventurous and arbitrary fashion, leaving the seeds of potential resentment among local elites and populations. Therefore, at the very foundation of current approaches to the conflicts concerned, two opposite principles can be applied: to renounce Soviet-made borders or to confirm those borders. The Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict escalates on the principle of renouncing Soviet-made borders; whereas the Central Asian border issue usually de-escalates due to the official confirmation of Soviet-made administrative borders as inter-state borders. In both cases, however, micro-geopolitics drops new seeds of ad-hoc disturbances in the future.

A lucky weekend in Vegas saved FedEx

What do you do when your company is down to its last five thousand dollars, and a fuel bill is due on the other side of the weekend? Most of us would go to a bank or a relative, or break out the credit card. But that's why most of us don't own global companies.

FedEx CEO and founder Fred Smith ran into difficulty early on, approaching an important point in the company's development where they were short on cash, but close to success. Emptying the bank accounts of the company, Smith flew to Las Vegas with one game in mind. After a weekend at the blackjack table, Smith returned with over thirty thousand dollars in the bank, more than enough to keep— just as the House Judiciary Committee did for President Richard M. Nixon: “In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, contrary to his oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives . . . and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas.”

By By Karen Graham Feb 13, 2019 in Politics Los Angeles - Los Angeles will abandon a plan to replace three aging gas power plants along its coast with newer natural gas technology. Instead, the city will invest in renewable energy as it seeks to move away from fossil fuels, the city’s mayor said on Tuesday. The move is, in part, due to a 2010 California law that requires power plants to stop using ocean water for cooling. Initially, the plan called for modernizing the three plants with state-of-the-art technology that uses air for cooling. Mayor Garcetti argued that this is an opportunity for the city to reach its goal of being carbon-neutral by 2050. “This is the beginning of the end of natural gas in Los Angeles,”ceremonies on Aug. 16 when nine children and 25 doctors from Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and City of Hope were honored on the field. The team of doctors came in through the center field gates and walked to the pitcher’s mound, where they threw ceremonial first pitches to the entire Dodger team.

the presidential election — Clapper simply claimed to be speaking for the Intelligence Community and that was then falsely interpreted to mean that all 17 intelligence agencies agreed. A formal assessment – though not an NIE – was not undertaken until December leading to the Jan. 6 report, which was the work of what Clapper later described as “hand-picked” analysts from three agencies: CIA, NSA and FBI.

On June 29, The New York Times ran a grudging correction to one of its stories that had repeated the false claim about the “17 intelligence agencies” although that canard continues to resonate on cable news channels as way to shut down any questioning of what has become the new groupthink believing in “Russian meddling.”

Another reason to be skeptical is the facthave a record of that since virtually every packet is stored.

In addition, the publisher of the DNC and Podesta emails, Wikileaks, says it did not receive the emails from Russia. Also, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has offered a reward for the discovery of the murderer of Seth Rich, the young DNC Director of Voter Expansion who was mysteriously murdered on July 22, 2016. When asked if Seth Rich was the source of the DNC emails, Assange does not reply directly but it is implied.

Since Trump’s November victory, there also have been accusations of “Russian interference” in European elections. But in each case, subsequent investigations showed the opposite. In Germany, France and the U.K., security services found no evidence to support the initial allegations. The French security chief dismissed


was initiated or controlled in any substantial way by Moscow. Without doubt, the overwhelming majority of the criticism directed at Hillary Clinton – and at Donald Trump – was sincere and home-grown.

9) The anti-Russia hysteria distracts from an objective evaluation of why the Democratic Party lost.

Instead of doing an honest and objective assessment of the election failure, the Democratic Party has invested enormous time and resources in promoting the narrative of Russian “meddling” and collusion with Trump. If the Democrats want to regain popularity – and gain congressional seats in 2018 as well as the White House in 2020 – they need to look in the mirror and undertake reforms, including a shake-up of leadership which has changed very little in over 15 years.

The Democrats must confront theTHE spirit of Monty Python came to the streets of Blackburn when a snake was spotted on the loose.

Householders in Irving Place were stunned to find the reptile, thought to be up to four-and-a-half feet long, apparently sunbathing in the middle of the road.

The snake, at first believed to have been a young python, was also found hanging under the bonnet of a car down a driveway.

Astonished neighbours gathered as news spread of the remarkable discovery and the snake was eventually bundled safely into a bag.

MORE TOP STORIES:

Fesal Javid, of Irving Place, proved the bravest of all as he fearlessly grabbed the snake as others looked on from a safe distance.

The owner of the car, who did not want to be named, said: "The snake seemed quite used


to it.

"I said just to leave it but Fesal just grabbed it.

"I was impressed. I acted hard but I said I'm not touching it."

Another neighbour, who saw the snake in the street, said: "I looked at it and thought that can't be a snake.

"It was quite worrying for everyone but Fesal was the hero of the day."

The snake was put in a cardboard box, which was then deposited in a pillow case. A headband was used to keep the unexpected guest inside.

An RSPCA worker headed for the scene but the snake was handed over to a Blackburn with Darwen pest control officer, who happened to be driving past.

A spokesman for the council said the reptile was a pine snake, a non-venomous and harmless species generally found in America.Watch this space…..all 1000sq ft of it.

Four people have been confirmed dead after a light aircraft and a helicopter crashed in mid-air over the Buckinghamshire countryside this afternoon.

The aircraft collided just 15 minutes after taking off from Wycombe Air Park which trains rookie pilots.

Wreckage landed near the Rothschild family's Waddesdon Manor, 16 miles north-west of the airfield, just after midday.

Residents in the nearby village of Upper Winchendon heard a loud bang and could see and smell a plume of black smoke from the crash scene.

The pilot of the helicopter and its single passenger, as well as the pilot and a passenger of the plane, died in the crash, which happened at around 1,000ft.

Pictures from the scene show fragments of the helicopter's rotor-blades and the plane's fuselage scattered around the woodland floor.

Aerial footage from abovethe site where the helicopter and plane collided in mid-air this afternoon. Four people, two from each aircraft, are dead following the crash at 1,000ft

Those on the scene say no one survived the crash, which left smouldering wreckage near the grounds of the Waddesdon Manor. Police have now set up evidence tents at the site

A piece of fin, thought to be the tail-end of the small, Cessna plane involved, was visible

A plume of smoke was seen over the woodland shortly after the two aircraft came down

The aircraft came down near Upper Winchendon near Aylesbury, to the north west of London

A local resident told MailOnline: 'My father heard a loud bang. He ran up to the scene. It was clear pretty quickly that no one has survived.'

'My mother said


a man, who I think was someone who had been out walking nearby, went running up to the manor to say there had been a crash. Everyone is now helping the emergency services.'

At least seven fire engines and three search and rescue vehicles rushed to the scene after the first 999 call came in at 12.06pm.

Police vehicles arrived at the crash site and officers have put up evidence tents in the woodland. Crash experts are attempting to piece together what happened.

Rescue workers had launched the fire brigade's drone over the fallen wreckage in a bid to locate any survivors, but no one was taken to hospital.

None of the victims had been named last night, but the dead helicopter pilot's friend and former colleague Captain Phil Croucher said: 'Hewas probably the most respected instructor in the country.

'He achieved a very high position in the Army. If you wanted a training instructor there's no one more highly qualified.

'Almost everybody in the country has been instructed by him – most instructors have been trained by him. Everybody in the industry looked up to him.'

He was said to have been training a foreign flying student on a beginners' course when the helicopter crashed.

Captain Croucher, 65, of Ayrshire, said the pilot, who worked for Helicopter Services flying school near Aylesbury, was in his sixties and had a partner and family,

He added: 'I was shocked and surprised to hear what had happened. He was a real gentleman. Of course it is an industry where this does happen. We don't stop, we


just get on and do the job, he wouldn't have wanted me to stop flying.'

Flight data shows a two-seater helicopter was flying at 1,025ft in the area at the time, but suddenly went off radar shortly after 12 noon. It had only been in the air for 15 minutes.

The plane that crashed is believed to be a Cessna 152, a popular training aircraft which has space for only one pilot and one passenger.

Police close to the crash site in the Buckinghamshire woodland today. No one on board either aircraft survived the crash

Police have accessed the woods and set up a cordon around where the two aircraft came down

Photos from the scene show police tents have been set up where the two planes came down

Fire engines and police wereseen at the entrance to the estate as crash investigators took over

A Cessna 152 took off from Wycombe Air Park around the same time as the helicopter and disappeared from radar at the same time.

The plane thought to have been involved was made in 1982. The helicopter feared to have crashed was built earlier this year.

Both the aircraft feared to have crashed made successful loops this morning, suggesting that they were being used repeatedly for pilots' training.

Staff from the Waddesdon Estate, which is managed by a foundation set up by the eminent Rothschild family, helped direct emergency vehicles to the scene of the tragedy as police threw up a massive cordon around the area to preserve the scene.

Waddesdon Estate gardener Len Bellis described how he found the wreckage


minutes later after hearing a 'horrendous noise'.

He said the Cessna was 'non-existent' but for a 5ft section of burning fuselage.

Two men he met at the scene told him they'd heard the plane 'stuttering' just before the crash.

The grand country manor house, which was used in the filming of The Crown and The Queen starring Helen Mirren, is understood to have been hosting a Christmas Market at the time of the crash.

The Cessna 152, built in 1982, is owned by Airways Aero Associations. It needed extensive repairs in 1993 after a crash in Cornwall.

Staff from the Air Accident Investigation Branch have been drafted in to begin an inquiry into what led to the mid-air collision.

One pilot said it was easy to be distracted by the estate.

Writing on an internetflying forum, the 36-year-old added: 'I've been guilty of paying too much attention to pointing passengers to the Rothschild palace and not enough to a lookout.'

This helicopter disappeared off radar at 12pm today whilst flying over Waddesdon 15 minutes after it took off from Wycombe Air Park, which has confirmed its aircraft were involved

This Cessna 152 took off from the same airfield around the same time as the helicopter

This was the scene at the airfield where the planes took off this afternoon. A helicopter similar to that feared to have been involved in the crash remains on the ground

How did the mid-air crash happen? The helicopter, a 2017 French-built Guimbal Cabri G2, took off for its second flight for the day from High Wycombe at 11.47 am. According


to data from Flight Radar 24, the aircraft had earlier successfully completed a 30-minute flight. The aircraft took off and routed north over the Chiltern Hills Area of Natural Beauty. Within five minutes it was flying at 1,025 feet at 60kts approaching Princes Risborough. The helicopter, a 2017 French-built Guimbal Cabri G2, took off for its second flight for the day from High Wycombe at 11.47 am The helicopter, which can carry two people, continued towards Waddesdon. At 12 noon the aircraft was last seen at 1,025 feet to the east of Upper Winchendon. Three minutes before the crash, a Cessna 152 which was built in 1982, was north west of Princes Risborough at 2,800 feet and travelling at around 70kts. The flight tracking radar did not recordthe Cessna leaving Wycombe Park Aerodrome, although it is believed it departed shortly after the helicopter. One minute before impact, the Cessna is believed to have increased its altitude to 3,700 feet, but it its final radar return moments before the accident showed it dropped down to below 2,800 feet. Flight crash investigators will want to determine how an aircraft apparently 1,700 feet above the helicopter shortly before the crash could have been ended up being involved in a collision. Like the helicopter, the Cessna was also on its second flight of the day. Advertisement

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: 'Officers are currently at the scene of an air accident near the village of Waddesdon near Aylesbury.

DMCA takedown backlash: EFF sues Viacom over Colbert parody clip

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has sued Viacom in US federal court for …

Viacom's DMCA takedown notices continue to generate controversy. The media giant fired off more than 100,000 notices to YouTube earlier this year, but it appears to have caught numerous legitimate videos in the crossfire. One of those clips, called "Stop the Falsiness," satirizes comedian Stephen Colbert, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a federal lawsuit against Viacom, asking the judge to declare the video non-infringing.

The video, which was produced by left-wing advocacy group MoveOn, pokes fun both at Colbert and at MoveOn's own activism. It was uploaded to YouTube in August of 2006, but Viacom demanded that it be taken down and said under threatstacked in boxes were a large number of pottery vessels, clearly ancient and rare.
