At the July meeting, the plaintiff parent recommended two changes in the eligibility guidelines, both of which were incorporated into the guidelines. The final public hearing was held on August 15, 1983, at which time the Board accepted the recommendations of the committee by a recorded vote of three in favor and one opposed.
On August 14, 1984, after the parents' children were declared ineligible for participation in the extracurricular programs because of failure to meet the academic requirement guidelines, this action was instituted in District Court to permanently enjoin the School District from implementing the guidelines. The District Court granted the School District's Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed the parents' Motion for Summary Judgment.

After the bird did not die, a surprised Mr. Olsen decided to continue to care permanently for Mike, feeding him a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; he was also fed small grains of corn. When used to his new and unusual center of mass, Mike could easily get himself to the highest perches without falling. His crowing, though, was less impressive and consisted of a gurgling sound made in his throat, leaving him unable to crow at dawn. Mike also spent his time preening and attempting to peck for food with his neck.

As far as anyone can tell, Mike's brain stem was still intact after his decapitation. As the Dick et al.

Back in 2003, I heard the original Warrior Woman herself, Maxine Hong Kingston, speaking in promotion of her doorstep of a book–419 pages–The Fifth Book of Peace. It took years to write, of course. She then re-wrote it when her house burned down, leaving nothing but a few pieces of blackened jade, the burnt structure of a chimney, and a pile of 416 pages of ash. There is a point to all this: as she staggered through the re-write, she would take breaks to write poetry. She claimed she did so because she was convinced poets were happy people, tra la la, who created happy little


About Us

History of The Allendale Co-operative Society

Allendale Co-operative Society was established in 1874 as Allendale Industrial and Provident Society. It was not the first ‘co-op’ in the area, that honour going to Whitfield Society which was founded in 1862.

The first shop at Allendale was near the Dale Hotel, but within a few years had moved to the area of its present premises. Over the years various buildings were used and there were a number of rebuilds and redevelopments.

In the first year sales were about £2000; by 1876 this had risen to just over £3000 and there were 86 members. Business continued to expand and membership to grow; there were 250 members by 1900.

From the first, the elected Committees were all working men, with familiar Allendale names being recordedover the years, – Ridley, Bell, Philipson, Short, Fairlamb, Keenleyside, Jackson, Glenwright, Shield and many more. Annual meetings were large affairs, with suppers and entertainment for members and guests following the business part of the meeting. As an example, in 1887 over 300 people sat down to a meal accompanied by music from the Allendale Brass Band.

Deliveries started during the 1890’s with horse and cart (the Society also took the opportunity to sell the manure created!). By the 1920’s deliveries by motor van began; a later addition being a mobile shop. The mobile shop may be no more, but free deliveries are still part of Allendale Co-op services.

Over the years various properties were purchased by the Society, some for business expansion, some as homes for managers and staff,


and some as investments.

The 1920’s seem to have been a particularly active time for the Society. There were now over 700 members and 14 employees. Branches were opened at Allenheads and Catton; a butchery department was established and buildings were purchased which allowed for expansion of the Society’s main premises.

Some of this expansion extended into the 1930’s when the present site of the store was created after a house, West View, was demolished. The new premises were developed as drapery department, garage, greengrocery and offices. The general grocery, and other parts of the shop being in Curtain (or Kirton) House. The butchery was in Shield Street where the Co-op’s logo can still be seen.

During the mid 20th Century links were established with other local Co-op Societies. Presumably toafter a few years. In 1844 the ‘Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers’ was founded, and flourished. This society ran their co-operative by the ‘Rochdale Principles’, which became the basis for the development and growth of the modern co-operative movement.

The Rochdale Principles

1. Voluntary and open membership
2. Democratic member control (one member, one vote)
3. Members economic participation
4. Autonomy and independence
5. Education, training and information
6. Co-operation among co-operatives
7. Concern for the community

Over the next 150 years these were adapted and changed slightly but still formed the guiding principles of all co-operatives.

By the beginning of the 20th Century there were over 1,500 separate consumer co-operative in Britain, and many more thousand world-wide. However, in Britain, through amalgamation and merger, the number of societies has been reduced to about 40, varying in size


came out of her house to find Henry in the street.

He asked her ‘where is he?’ and when she told him there was no-one else around, he began banging on the door of a property.

“The neighbour opened the door and saw Mr Henry outside mumbling,” Mr Gibson continued. “He said ‘it was you, you put me in the skip and broke my ribs’.

Henry pulled a knife out of his belt.”

Holding the knife at chest height, Henry continued to mumble that someone had put him in a skip and he would “have them” and would happily “do time” for it.

The man who answered the door told him to go home and Henry was seen going into his own flat.

When the police arrived, they confiscated a knife from the property.

GailHeard, defending, said Henry had struggled with alcohol since the death of his wife in 1997.

Ms Heard told the judge that about 10 days before this incident, a group of three young men seem to have come across Mr Henry on the street, drunk,” she said. “They pushed him around a bit and one picked him up and dumped him into an empty skip.”

Henry sat in court with his head down and his eyes shut, as the judge heard how he had become “tearful and remorseful” in interview.

Judge Chalk gave him a three-month conditional discharge for the charge of being drunk and disorderly, but declined jurisdiction for sentencing in relation to the knife charge.

He said the severity of the crime meant he felt his powers may not be


MOVIE REVIEW: Kylie steps back in time in new film

CONVERSATION pits, tanning oil, musk sticks ... Stephan Elliott's unapologetically vulgar ode to the '70s plays a bit like a feature-length flashback for those of us who grew up in the era.

Millennials - hooked as they are on retro culture - might also get a kick out of his wildly irreverent snapshot of a generation that embraced cask wine, polyester and Bozo punching dolls.

Set in a sleepy cul-de-sac somewhere in beachside suburbia, Swinging Safari tells the story of three fairly typical Australian families and the long, hot and very eventful summer a 200 ton whale washed up on their local beach.

The semi-autobiographical comedy - the film's writer-director grew up in Dee Why - unfolds from the point of viewof Jeff Marsh (newcomer Atticus Robb, who even looks a bit like a young Elliott).

When he's not making slasher films with his daredevil best mate, the soulful adolescent tentatively pursues the romantic affections of his rather vulnerable neighbour Melly Jones (Darcey Wilson).

Relatively speaking, Jeff's folks are a little more ordinary. While his tightly wound mum (Asher Keddie) shops and plays tennis, his sweet but ineffectual dad (Jeremy Sims) primarily works at keeping the peace.

Guy Pearce and Kylie Minogue, reunited here for the first time since Neighbours, play the third couple, Keith and Kaye Hall, parents to three tearaway boys, the eldest of which is Jeff's fearless stuntman.

Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce reunite in the film Swinging Safari.

Keith is a worn-around the edges encyclopaedia salesman. Kaye is a bitter


drunk.

There's a backstory here that might have rewarded further exploration but Elliott is too busy cracking jokes about Karen Carpenter diets and infants being "cooked" in baby oil to give the Halls his full attention.

The writer-director's iconoclastic, at times even cruel, sense of humour inoculates the film against any cloying sense of nostalgia.

Julian McMahon rocks an epic mo in Swinging Safari.

But while Elliott's tendency to go that little bit too far is part of his appeal, it's also what ultimately stops this good film from being great.

Beneath The Adventures Of Priscilla: Queen Of the Desert's glad rags, there was a genuine sense of pathos.

There's a poignant undercurrent, too, in Swinging Safari (Sims' reaction to the partner swapping "key party" from which the film takes its title is aare pulled from the container as a continuous string or rope. This leads to waste and is simply not acceptable to the end user. When the dispensing orifice does successfully separate a lead wipe from a following wipe it serves what is termed herein an “anti-roping” function.
It is also well known that the dispensing orifices of the prior art often times cause a lead wipe to be separated from a following wipe too early, before the lead end of the following wipe has passed out of the interior of the container and through the dispensing orifice, allowing the following wipe to fall back into the interior of the container. When this occurs, the following wipe remains inside the container, which must then be opened to access the wipes.


Saudi Arabia fires 5 top officials and has arrested 18 Saudis after admitting Jamal Khashoggi was killed in a fight at consulate in Istanbul

(Riyadh) 20 October 2018 – The Saudi government acknowledged early Saturday that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, saying he died during a fist fight.

The annoucement, which came in a tweet from the Saudi foreign ministry, said that an initial investigation by the government’s general prosecutor found that Khashoggi been in discussions with people inside the consulate when a quarrel broke out, escalating to a fatal fist fight.

The Saudi government said it had fired five top officials and arrested 18 other Saudis as a result of the initial investigation. Those fired included Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s adviser Saudal-Qahtani and deputy intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri.

The announcement marks the first time that Saudi officials have acknowledged that Kashoggi was killed inside the consulate. Ever since he disappeared on Oct. 2 while visiting the mission, Saudi officials have repeatedly said that he left the consulate alive and that they had no information about his whereabouts or fate.

Turkish investigators had concluded days ago that Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post was killed and dismembered by a Saudi team dispatched to Istanbul.

Earlier Friday, Turkish prosecutors questioned staff at the Saudi Consulate, state media said, suggesting attempts to strengthen a possible criminal case with insider details from the last place journalist Jamal Khashoggi was seen alive.

An undisclosed number consulate employees in Istanbul were interviewed by prosecutors, the


reports said more than a dozen Turkish staff members of the consulate — including technicians, drivers, telephone operators and accountants — were being interviewed by prosecutors.

Their accounts could provide valuable insights into the movements of Saudi officials at the mission in the hours and days before and after Khashoggi vanished.

It was not clear why the investigators waited more than two weeks to conduct the interviews, but the move comes a day after Turkish officials said they are searching two wooded areas just outside Istanbul for possible remains.

Until recently, the inquiry has focused on the consulate in Istanbul’s Levent district and the nearby residence of the Saudi consul general, Mohammed al-Otaibi, who left Turkey this week.

Earlier Friday, Turkey’s foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his country has not provided theto arrest Roberts. Directly after this meeting, appellant had his girl-friend drive him to a neighborhood Roberts frequented. After appellant exited the car, he armed himself with a piece of metal fence pipe and walked to a home owned by Dorothy Mims, who was resting with her five-year-old nephew in a bedroom where Roberts sat asleep on a nearby chair. Appellant attacked the resting man with the metal pipe, hitting him at least twice and leaving Roberts limp and unable to defend himself. Mims testified that when Roberts inquired why appellant was hitting him, appellant *277 cursed and replied that Roberts had robbed him. When Mims protested the attack, appellant apologized to her, then kicked and dragged Roberts outside, where he stripped Roberts of most of his clothing

Autumn Equinox

Autumn Equinox (also known as Mabon or Harvest Home) is celebrated when day and night are of equal duration before the descent into increasing darkness and is the final festival of the season of harvest.

In nature, the activity of the summer months slows down to the hibernation for the winter. For many Pagans, now is time to reflect on the past season.

It is also a time to recoginse that the balance of the year has changed, the wheel has turned and summer is now over.

Astrologers will recognise this as the date the sun enters the sign of Libra - the Scales of Balance.

Marlins Park is the new jewel of Miami, and team owner Jeffrey Loria must've figured it wise to use a big-time celebrity with some Miami cred to deliver the ceremonial first pitch ball. (Also, it'd be a sly way of avoiding any boos on what was supposed to be a celebratory moment.) Loria's choice was 70-year-old Muhammad Ali, who first won the heavyweight title back in 1964 after defeating Sonny Liston in South Beach.

Problem is, Ali's body has been devastated by Parkinson's, brought on by years of blows to the head while boxing. He can no longer speak in public or walk with ease, so he was slowly wheeled in from the outfield on a cart. Loria slung his arm around Ali's shoulders, while Ali's hands shook profuselythe entire time. The crowd initially cheered, but stopped after 30 seconds. With the cart still progressing toward the infield and the awaiting Marlins players, the PA announcer felt compelled to start an "Ali!" chant from his booth.

The opening of Marlins Park started off with a parade of showgirls and Jose Feliciano singing the National Anthem. It ended with the sad, shameless sight of Loria trotting out Ali's disease-ravaged body for a forced on-field ceremony.

Sea otters' seaweed anchors

Floating on your back to slumber might sound relaxing, but sea otters have to make sure they don’t literally drift off.

The fluffy mammals – owners of the densest fur in the animal kingdon – often wrap themselves in seaweed to stay anchored in sleep. Single sexes often gather in otter "rafts" – groups of as many as 100 sea otters, wrapped in strands of kelp, floating serenely on their backs with tucked up paws on their chest.

And on some occasions sea otters have even been seen holding paws while they sleep, perhaps to stay together.

The mammals grab some shut-eye on land too, but some experts say they prefer to sleep in water, probably

Free trade is something of a sacred cow in the economics profession.

Moving towards it, rather slowly, has also been one of the dominant features of the post-World War Two global economy.

Now there are new challenges to that development.

The UK is leaving the European Union and the single market - though in her speech this week, British Prime Minister Theresa May promised to push for the "freest possible trade" with European countries and to sign new deals with others around the world.

Most obviously Donald Trump has raised the possibility of quitting various trade agreements, notably Nafta, the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada. Even the World Trade Organization (WTO) hasproposed new barriers to imports.

In Europe, trade negotiations with the United States and Canada have run into difficulty, reflecting public concerns about the impact on jobs, the environment and consumer protection.

The WTO's Doha Round of global trade liberalisation talks has run aground.

The case for trade without government imposed barriers has a long history in economics.

Comparative advantage

Adam Smith, the 18th Century Scottish economist who many see as the founding father of the subject, was in favour of it. But it was a later British writer, David Ricardo in the 19th Century, who set out the idea known as comparative advantage that underpins much of the argument for freer trade.

It is not about countries being


to have freer trade has underpinned decades of international co-operation on trade policy since World War Two.

The period since 1945 has been characterised by a gradual lowering of trade barriers. It happened in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which began life in 1948 as a forum for governments to negotiate lower tariffs.

Its membership was initially small, but by the time it was replaced by the World Trade Organization in 1995, most countries had signed up.

The motivation was to end or reduce the protectionism or barriers to trade that went up in the 1930s. It is not generally thought that those barriers caused the Great Depression, but many do think they aggravatedwith wages and labour-force participation rates remaining depressed and unemployment rates remaining elevated for at least a full decade after the China trade shock commences.

Still if you accept that overall countries gain, then the winners could in principle fully compensate the losers and still be better off.

Such programmes do exist. Countries that have unemployment benefits provide assistance to people who have lost their jobs. Some of those people will have been affected by competition from abroad.

Corn: Fueling the Fast Food Industry and Obesity A new film exposes how the crop is fueling the obesity epidemic in the U.S.

March 13, 2008  -- Corn is in everything we eat and drink, from soda to beef, and it's fueling the nation's obesity epidemic.

"King Corn" is Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis' new documentary, which shows how corn has turned the American diet into a fast food nightmare.

The college buddies joined "Good Morning America" today to talk about the corn industry and the farming experiment that inspired the film.

They met at college on regular trips to the campus doughnut store. Like the rest of their generation, they grew up loving the kind of fast food that is causing an obesity epidemic in the United States.

Fahriye Evcen biography

First success for the young Turkish actress Fahriye Evcen came with the role in Calikusu (The Wren) - a popular Turkish TV serial starred by Burak Ozcivit. Thas was the third film adaptation of one of the most famous novels about love that became classic of world literature. The novel was written in 1922 by Turkish writer Resat Nuri Guntekin.

First serial "The Wren" starred by Turkish legendary actress of 20th century Turkan Soray was released in 1966. Twenty years later in 1986 the namesake serial was starred by Aydan Sener.

The third adaptation came out in 2013. The leading role of twenty year old beautiful girl Faride in Calıkusu was played by Fahriye Evcen.

Fahriye was born on 4th of July


in 1986 in a small German town of Solingen. The family had four kids and the youngest one was Fahriye. Her mother was an ethnic Circassian and her father was a Turkish, who moved to Germany from Greek city of Thessaloniki. The girl’s childhood was not happy because she had to face Nazi rules when anti-Turkish riots started in Germany. Fahriye and her family had to spend hours in the darkness and stay at home most of the time to avoid possible tragedies.

Most games put on by the HAWKs are kid friendly, but we often dedicate a table in the HAWKS room to games specifically targeted at younger gamers. This year we put on three of them.

The Dragon is Dead

A group of kids playing in Dave's "The Dragon is Dead" game

Dave ran a game using Blood and Swash from the Big Battles for Little Hands book. A dragon has been slain on a remote island. Before the official troops arrive, the “government” has issued six exclusive contracts to bands of fearless treasure hunters to gather as much treasure as possible. The kids ran round the table fighting each other and looking for caches of goodies.

Idon’t which kid won the game, but they all seemed to have a really good time.

Armies for Kids Project

Getting ready for the Armies for Kids game

The showcase event was our annual Armies for Kids Giveaway. The game is restricted to kids 10 and younger. This year it was a WWII game using Milk and Cookies Rules from Big Battles for Little Hands. The paper houses you see in this picture were lovingly hand crafted by Chris Johnson, as were the hills. The figures and tanks had been donated to the HAWKs. Through a number of painting seasons we painted and based the units.

Plotting their next moves

Milk and Cookies Rules were written for kids as young as five years old. It has all the basic elements: movement, fire, and


morale. It is written for periods ranging from ancient warfare to WWII. Units consist of four bases. The rules use six-sided dice. There are sometimes saves if the target unit is in cover. Pretty straightforward stuff. The game lasts about 90 minutes.

Concentrate!

The young man in the black shirt spent a fair amount of time marching and countermarching with his tanks, but he seemed to have a great time.

Nah! They aren't having ANY fun.

The girl on the right was probably her side’s MVP. At one point she had troops in both of the two buildings in the middle of the table, which was the objective of the game. While she was eventually driven out of the far one, she remained focused on the objective throughout the game. She remindedme of my own daughter who when she was younger would often win at these convention games — and games not set aside for kids — by staying focused on the objective.

When the game is over, the kids take home the army they played with during the game. They also take home an opposing army, a set of hills, a set of buildings, and the rules and quick reference sheets. They also get a tote bag full of other goodies, like paints, brushes, rulers, and dice. That is what is mean by Armies for Kids. When the game is over, they have everything they need to play war-games with their buddies at home. Every once in a while we get some feedback from a parent that the armies


The reality is, that the ongoing holocaust in the United States is much worse than that. The National Jewish Population Survey of 1990 claimed that there were 5.5 million Jews in the the USA while in 2000 the NJPS found 5.2 million Jews or a loss of 300,000 souls. However, during the decade of the 90's, 200,000 Jews from the former Soviet Union came to the USA and that would mean that we actually lost 500,000 souls during that decade - 50,000 a year - 1000 a week.

In addition, when they counted Jews in 1970, they counted only Halachic Jews but the NJPS survey of 2000 also counts people who only have a Jewish father as full Jews. The reality is that when you count Halachic Jews inTen years ago this month, tens of thousands of Indian and Pakistani soldiers faced off in a confrontation over the disputed Kashmir region. If not for intensive U.S.-led crisis diplomacy, that standoff and another in 2002 could have led to war between the two nuclear-armed rivals.

Since then, Indian and Pakistani nuclear and missile stockpiles have grown even larger, and the underlying conditions for conflict still persist. Indian military planners foolishly believe they can engage in and win a limited conventional conflict without triggering a nuclear exchange even though the Pakistani army's strategy relies on nuclear weapons to offset India's overwhelming conventional superiority.

Unfortunately, U.S. policymakers downplayed regional nonproliferation and risk-reduction priorities in the pursuit of other objectives. Beginning with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's visit to India this


month, the United States should help to re-establish nuclear restraint and arms control as a top priority for the region.

Despite its struggle against extremists inside its own borders, the Pakistani army sees India as its main adversary. Pakistan is expanding its uranium-enrichment capabilities and building two new plutonium-production reactors for weapons purposes even though it already possesses enough fissile material for 60-80 bombs.

One excuse for Pakistan's ongoing buildup is the U.S.-Indian nuclear cooperation initiative. Approved last year, the deal exempts New Delhi from long-standing restrictions on civil nuclear trade in exchange for India's promise to refrain from nuclear testing and support a global ban on fissile material production for weapons, among other nonproliferation commitments. The deal gives India access to global nuclear fuel markets, freeing up its limitedend of this year and each year thereafter that assesses whether India has or has not increased unsafeguarded fissile material production.

Clinton should not hesitate to put the CTBT back on the U.S.-Indian bilateral agenda. She should urge her Indian counterparts to reiterate Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's 1998 commitment that India would not be among the last states standing in the way of the treaty's entry into force.

New Delhi is clearly not yet ready to sign the CTBT, but it is not in its strategic interests to resume nuclear testing. As then-Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) said on the floor of the Senate on November 16, 2006, "[I]n the event of a future nuclear test by the Government of India, nuclear power reactor fuel and equipment sales, and nuclear technology


to Connecticut, first Stafford then Hartford, and became a prominent manufacturer and capitalist, as the president of Pratt & Cady Company.

In 1892, he was nominated as the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut, winning election in November 1892.  Succeeding Republican James L. Howard, Cady served as the 45th Lieutenant Governor of Connecticut under Governor Luzon B. Morris from 1893 to 1895, during which time he presided in the State Senate during the session of 1893 "with dignity and success, winning the admiration and esteem of both parties in the General Assembly."  While in office, he was also one of the Water Commissioners in Hartford and was a "controlling spirit" in the Hartford Board of Trade.

In 1894, at the end of his term as Lt. Governor, Cady wasnominated as the Democratic nominee for governor of Connecticut to succeed Morris,  who would become the only member of the Democratic Party to hold the governorship of Connecticut between 1885 and 1911.  He lost the election to the Republican Owen Vincent Coffin and was succeeded as Lt. Governor by Lorrin A. Cooke, who later became Governor after Coffin.

He later served as a Trustee of the Society for Savings, a Director of the National Machine Company, and was on the advisory board of the Board of Education of the Blind. Cady was also a prominent Freemason and a member of the Hartford Club.

Personal life
On January 16, 1871, Cady was married to Ellen E. Hyde (1843–1906). Ellen was the daughter of Hannah Converse (née Young) Hyde and Ephraim


William Chase Pearson, a twenty year old white male, was murdered by three black males in Denmark, SC on March 29, 2014. A second white male victim is permanently debilitated and a third white male victim was severely injured.

Numerous evidence links three brothers to the crime. The mother of the deceased victim says that law enforcement has done little and the perps still walk free. The three white victims believed they were going to buy marijuana from one of the victim’s co-workers.

The murder generated almost no media coverage whatsoever. There were some tiny blurps calling it a “shootout over a drug deal.” The local Sheriff is quoting saying it was “a drug deal gone bad.”

This website has documented dozens of black on white murders, in which the whitevictims were offered marijuana for sale and then murdered. The same thing happened in Charleston, SC within the past year as well.

The following is from the mother of the William Pearson:

My son and 2 friends (white) were buying marijuana from a guy my son worked with. My son was in passenger seat. Three black males (I only know name of the one that shot my son) walked up to car, pulled guns, and demanded money. After my son tried to move the barrel, one of the perps unloaded gun. My son was killed. Then one or both of the other perps shot the driver, and his brother in the backseat. One brother remained in a coma for months, and now has mind of a 3 year old. The


brother in the back seat was shot once. The perpetrators drove off and circled around and hit brother in backseat. The coroner said the truck was riddled with bullets. My son had never even had so much as a parking ticket.

All 3 suspects are felons and Xavier Washington was incarcerated less than year earlier. The three suspects are all brothers. My son’s murder was March 29, 2014. Something is up. The police arrived at the crime scene where 2 of the 3 brothers were apprehended with their guns. Xavier fled scene and was apprehended later with no gun. All 3 felons were questioned and released a few hours later!!!!

I am dumbfounded. The detective checked my sons bank records and saw where he had withdrawn $400. Xavier was foundMartial laws comes to an end in Ukraine after 30 days Published duration 26 December 2018

image copyright AFP image caption Ukraine's military has been on high alert during the martial law which has been in place for 30 days

Martial law declared in parts of Ukraine has ended after 30 days, amid continuing tensions with Russia in the Kerch Strait.

The measure was in force in 10 regions along the Black Sea and the borders with Russia, Belarus and Moldova.

It was declared after the capture of three Ukrainian naval vessels and 24 sailors by Russian forces in November.

Russia's foreign ministry said it hoped Western countries would dissuade Ukraine from any "provocations".

During the emergency, Ukrainian armed forces were put on combat readiness and reservists were called up.

Russian men aged 16 to


60 were barred from Ukraine under martial law, which ended at 12:00 GMT.

President Petro Poroshenko said earlier this month that he did not plan to extend martial law unless there was a large-scale attack from Russia.

'Act of aggression'

Last month naval forces from the two countries clashed off Crimea, a disputed territory which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Russia opened fire on and later captured three Ukrainian vessels, claiming they had illegally entered its waters.

The Ukrainian sailors were taken captive during the incident which Russia called an "act of aggression".

Ukraine said its ships had needed no Russian permission to cross the strait.Severe acute asthma in a community hospital pediatric intensive care unit: a ten years' experience.
The clinical literature on the incidence and subsequent mortality of asthma has come primarily from the experiences of large tertiary referral centers, particularly in Western Europe and North America. Consequently, very little has been published on the incidence, management, and outcome of asthma in smaller, community-based intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to explore the course and outcome of children with acute severe asthma treated within a community hospital PICU compared with those described in the literature from larger tertiary referral centers. A retrospective analysis of 49 asthmatic children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) over a 10-year period was performed. The mean age was 5.2 years (range 2


the world of Game of Thrones.

The results show that The Wall, where the land of Westeros is guarded from the White Walkers, has a climate in winter similar to that of Lapland, whereas Casterly Rock, the stronghold of the scheming Lannisters, has a climate similar to that of Houston, Texas, and Changsha in China.

The wind speeds and directions predicted by the climate model explain phenomena such as the dominance of the seas by the Iron Fleet, the likely attack plans of invading dragon hordes from Essos, and the trading routes between Westeros and the Free cities across the Narrow Sea.

The temperatures predicted by the climate model indicate the likely hibernation zones of White Walkers in summer.

The full results are published in a mock journal article (also available inDothraki and High Valyrian), written by Samwell Tarly, who is studying to become a "Maester" in the Citadel in Oldtown in Westeros.

Samwell shows that the extended seasons can be explained by a 'tumbling' of the tilt of the spinning axis of the planet as it orbits the Sun, in such a way that that the same Hemisphere always tilts


Q&A with Adrian Belew

Adrian Belew has lead something of a charmed existence as a musician
for the last thirty years, from his first high-profile gig as a
guitarist for Frank Zappa in 1979 to his later work with Talking Heads,
Trent Reznor, David Bowie and King Crimson. Though possessed of
preternaturally able technical chops, Belew is one of a handful of
guitar wizards whose creativity was never hampered by his virtuosity.
In February of 2006, Belew formed the Adrian Belew Trio with Eric and
Julie Slick, siblings who attended the Paul Green School of Rock where
Adrian performed as a guest musician that year. Never content to being
stuck with one musical style, Belew's music is remarkably for its rich
variety of tone and technique without losing a signature sound. Touring
in support of its latest album e, theAdrian Belew Trio is
playing small clubs across the country. We had a chance to talk at
length with Belew while he was at home in Nashville and discussed his
history, his art and his favorite guitar, the Parker Fly.

Westword (Tom Murphy): What kind of conversation did you have with Frank Zappa when he asked you to be part of his band?

Adrian Belew: I went to his house, and I had one audition that was done downstairs in his basement, and it was so chaotic, people moving gear around and all kinds of noise and things, and just me standing in the middle of the room with a microphone and a guitar, that I did a pretty miserable job. I was stuck there for the rest of the day while he

Robert Barro, an economics professor at Harvard University, said sustaining economic growth in the United States depends on a complicated mix of factors. Cutting the corporate tax rate and investing in infrastructure — both items on Trump’s wish list — would support prosperity, he said.

I’ve always loved to draw, but never wanted to work for a graphic design company. As cheesy as it sounds, I hung out with some punk rocker types in the late 80s, early 90s who inspired me to do tattooing. My sister encouraged me greatly and my friend Borgy made me a tattoo machine. I tattooed only him, really drunk, and then decided to do no more until I was in a shop. I went to the US, got a job in NYC at Eastside Ink, Stayed there for a couple of years, then returned to work with Andrew at Chapel Tattoo in 1995.

East-1 Region had been cancelled and extra personnel had been called into the datacenters for the evening.

On Friday night, as the storm progressed, several US East-1 datacenters in Availability Zones which would remain unaffected by events that evening saw utility power fluctuations. Backup systems in those datacenters responded as designed, resulting in no loss of power or customer impact. At 7:24pm PDT, a large voltage spike was experienced by the electrical switching equipment in two of the US East-1 datacenters supporting a single Availability Zone. All utility electrical switches in both datacenters initiated transfer to generator power. In one of the datacenters, the transfer completed without incident. In the other, the generators started successfully, but each generator independently failed to provide stable voltage as they were brought intoservice. As a result, the generators did not pick up the load and servers operated without interruption during this period on the Uninterruptable Power Supply (“UPS”) units. Shortly thereafter, utility power was restored and our datacenter personnel transferred the datacenter back to utility power. The utility power in the Region failed a second time at 7:57pm PDT. Again, all rooms of this one facility failed to successfully transfer to generator power while all of our other datacenters in the Region continued to operate without customer impact.

In the single datacenter that did not successfully transfer to the generator backup, all servers continued to operate normally on Uninterruptable Power Supply (“UPS”) power. As onsite personnel worked to stabilize the primary and backup power generators, the UPS systems were depleting and

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is also a technique used to deposit various types of thin films, including metal and dielectric films. The ALD process is a technique in which deposition can be achieved one atomic elemental layer at a time. ALD offers numerous advantages over other methods, including low impurities content, low processing temperatures, ultra thin film deposition, excellent conformality, and superior thickness uniformity over large substrate areas. Moreover, ALD films make excellent barrier layers.
Many metal layers of Group VIII elements, such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh) and osmium (Os) have suitable properties for various uses in integrated circuits, including as electrical contacts. Such layers are also suitable for use as barrier layers between the dielectric material and the silicon substrate


The History of Jacksonville Hearing & Balance

Founded by J. Douglas Green, Jr. MD, Jacksonville Hearing and Balance Institute began serving patients in Jacksonville and northeast Florida in 1997. While serving on the staff of the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Dr. Green recognized the need for more patient access to advanced care for hearing loss, balance problems and related skull base surgery. While the Mayo Clinic offered these services, a limited number of patients in Jacksonville had access to its care, and consequently many Jacksonville patients routinely had to travel to Gainesville for treatment.

Driven by a need he saw not being filled, Dr. Green opened Jacksonville Hearing and Balance Institute with only five employees in a small office in the Baptist Medical Center Pavilion. The practice grew steadily, grounded inits core values of Christian faith, dedication to patient care and education and commitment to providing a compassionate environment.

By 2007, Jacksonville Hearing and Balance Institute had outgrown its first home and relocated to CenterONE along the booming J. Turner Butler Blvd. corridor. The move tripled the practice’s office space, which allowed for an expansion of the hearing aid and cochlear implant services in the spring of 2012.

Today, Jacksonville Hearing and Balance Institute has more than 20 professional and support staff members, including physician assistants and audiologists, and serves over 22,000 patients.


In recent years, the Administrative-Media Narrative Generation Complex has chosen a number of test cases that have blown up in their faces.

Justice Department to Fault Ferguson Police, Seeing Racial Bias in Traffic Stops By MATT APUZZO MARCH 1, 2015 WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has nearly completed a highly critical report accusing the police in Ferguson, Mo., of making discriminatory traffic stops of African-Americans that created years of racial animosity leading up to an officer’s shooting of a black teenager last summer, law enforcement officials said.

According to severalofficials who have been briefed on the report’s conclusions, the report criticizes the city for disproportionately ticketing and arresting African-Americans and relying on the fines to balance the city’s budget. The report, which is expected to be released as early as this week, will force Ferguson officials to either negotiate a settlement with the Justice Department or face being sued by it on civil rights charges.

Either way, the result is likely to be significant changes inside the Ferguson Police Department, which is at the center of a national debate over race and policing.

Ferguson erupted into angry, sometimes violent protests after a white police officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, in August. The Justice Department investigated that shooting, and officials have said they

DIAKONOFF, Igor’ Mikhaĭlovich

DIAKONOFF (D’yakonov), Igor’ Mikhaĭlovich (b. Petrograd, 30 December 1914 [Old style]/12 January 1915; d. St. Petersburg, 2 May 1999), Russian orientalist of international standing, one of the greatest scholars in the field of Ancient Near Eastern studies (FIGURE 1). He was a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, an Honorary Member of the Royal Asiatic Society, of the American Oriental Society, and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Member of the Advisory Committee of the Encyclopaedia Iranica, and a Member of the Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum. He also held an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Chicago.

During the 1920s, Diakonoff twice lived in Oslo, where his father, Mikhail Alekseevich Diakonoff (d. 1939), worked at the USSR trade mission. His mother was trained


as a physician but mainly stayed at home doing all the housework. His elder brother, Mikhail Mikhaĭlovich Diakonoff (1907-54), was a distinguished scholar in the field of Iranian history and archeology. In 1938 Diakonoff graduated from the Leningrad University, where he studied with the well-known Assyriologist Aleksandr Pavlovich Riftin (1900-45). After graduation he was employed at the Department of Ancient Near East of the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, where he worked until 1941 when Germany attacked the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1944 Diakonoff came to Norway again, this time fighting as a Captain of the Soviet Army for the liberation of this country from the German occupation during World War II. From 1946 to 1950 he taught the Akkadian and Sumerian languages and historyof Ancient Mesopotamia at the University of Leningrad, and then, until 1959, he worked in the Department of Ancient Near East at the State Hermitage Museum as the curator of the collection of cuneiform tablets. From 1953 until his death in 1999, he was a senior research fellow of the Leningrad/St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies (Institut Vostokovedeniya) of the USSR/Russian Academy of Sciences.

Diakonoff established international contacts and participated in organizing important scholarly projects. In particular, he took an active part in the organization of the 25th International Congress of Orientalists held in Moscow in 1960 (he was the Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee). His publications were on a broad variety of subjects, ranging from linguistic studies of Afrasian languages to Scandinavian epics and


the works of the famous Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837). Diakonoff was a masterful translator of literary works, including the Epic of Gilgamesh and several books of the Bible (Diakonoff, 1961 and 1973). He also published his own poems and translations (I. M. Diakonoff and M. M. Diakonoff, 1985b). In his life and research Diakonoff exemplified a humanitarian perspective, and he believed that scholars of the entire world constituted one fraternal family. He also believed that scholarship should have no national boundaries and should not depend on political circumstances.

Diakonoff could read texts in Sumerian, Akkadian, Hebrew, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian, and Urartian; he studied ancient Near Eastern texts of different genres and periods, from the 3rd millennium BCE until the end of the Achaemenid period in the 4th centuryBCE. The subjects of his publications included languages and cultures, together with ethnic, political, and socio-economic history of the Ancient Near East and Central Asia. He translated Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian laws with detailed comments (Diakonoff, 1952). He also edited the original texts, transliterations, and translations of previously unknown cuneiform everyday letters and economic documents of the Urartian Kingdom, most of which were found during archeological excavations at Karmir-Blur in Armenia (Diakonoff, 1963b) and which are extremely difficult to read. Together with S. A. Starostin, he demonstrated that the Hurrian and Urartian languages were related to the Dagestan languages (Diakonoff, 1986a). One of his outstanding books contains a detailed survey and systematic description of the languages of western Asia (Diakonoff, 1967). His other linguistic publications include a historical


study of Afro-Asian roots and a comparative vocabulary of Afro-Asian languages (Diakonoff, 1981-82 and 1988a), as well as contributions to compiling a comprehensive dictionary of these languages and of a Semitic etymological dictionary. His other works include comparative Hamito-Semitic studies and their phonetic, morphological, and lexical reconstructions, as well as analysis of parallels between the Akkadian language and unwritten Cushite languages (Diakonoff, 1965).

Diakonoff was equally well skilled in philology, history, and linguistics and was a masterful translator of Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Biblical literary works. He published, in various languages, two dozens of books and approximately five hundred articles. The following studies by Diakonoff are in English: Parthian Economic Documents from Nisa (co-authored with V. A. Livshits, ed. D. N. MacKenzie; Corp. Inscr. Iran., 1976-2002); Geographical Names Accordingoverview of the socio-economic aspects and laws that governed them during the entire history of humanity. In the same book he also traces historical processes beginning from Paleolithic times and examines the ethnic, religious, and cultural factors. One of his books was published in German: Hurrisch und Urartäisch (Munich, 1971). Finally, he also published about a hundred articles in various Western journals, mainly in English. He created a large school of Assyriologists, who are working in various universities of Russia, the former Soviet Republics, and in several Western countries.

Diakonoff was the principal author of two major volumes of Istoriya drevnego mira (History of the Ancient World; see Diakonoff, 1982a), two volumes of Istoriya drevnego Vostoka (History of the Ancient East; see Diakonoff, 1983 and 1988), and of several


other books devoted to the Ancient Near East, which lead to a better knowledge of the history, economy, and culture of this region and which help to understand the socio-psychological factors and the evolution of the earliest civilizations. One of these books is about the agrarian conditions in Assyria (Diakonoff, 1949). Another book of his is devoted to the formation of the society and state in Ancient Mesopotamia (Diakonoff, 1959). Besides, mention should also be made of his edition of a collective volume of studies by Soviet authors, entitled Ancient Mesopotamia: Socio-Economic History. A Collection of Studies by Soviet Scholars (Moscow, 1969), which contains a general survey of economic history of ancient Mesopotamia and its social institutions. This book was translated into Arabic and published in Baghdad in1976.

Many publications of Diakonoff are devoted to history, economy, and social institutions of Iranian states in antiquity. He edited and studied an Akkadian inscription from ca. 1000 BCE, which was found on the territory of Media. It was engraved on both sides of a bronze plaque and states that a king named Shilisruh freed his subjects from certain taxes in kind. This inscription had been earlier published by Ernst Herzfeld (1879-1948), but Diakonoff brought more clearness into its understanding (Diakonoff, 1978a). Among his other works, of special interest is Istoriya Midii ot drevneĭshikh vremen do kontsa 4 v. do n.è. (History of Media from the earliest times until the end of the 4th century BCE; Moscow and Leningrad, 1956). This volume contains the first painstaking and comprehensive treatment


of ancient history of the northwestern regions of Iran, allotting special attention to their ethnic composition as well as to the rise and fall of Media. For this book, Diakonoff used Assyrian, Babylonian, Urartian, Old Iranian (Persian cuneiform inscriptions and the Avesta), and also classical sources and archaeological evidence. In particular, when referring to Herodotus and other Greek authors, he considered that the term “Magus” was an ethnicon and did not designate a caste or a profession. But the Magi supplied the Medes with court priests as early as at least under the last Median king Astyages, who was under some influence of the teaching of Zoroaster (see Diakonoff, 1965, pp. 374-75 and 392-400). Some ten years later, this book was translated into Persian and published in Iranthem important parallels to the Iranian writing system. When the Medes and the Persians started to create their state institutions, trained scribes could be found mostly among the Arameans. Yet, at the last stage of its development, the Aramaic writing system, used in the ancient Persian empires, became Iranian heterographic, because Aramaic words with Iranian inclusions were read in Iranian. Thus, in the 1st-2nd centuries CE at Nisa, the scribes used Aramaic standard administrative expressions, although they did not have any active knowledge of Aramaic.

Some of Diakonoff’s articles deal with the history of eastern and central parts of Asia Minor during the 8th-6th centuries BCE, and his other works are devoted to the ancient cultures of Central Asia. In his article “Vostochnyĭ Iran do Kira” (Eastern Iran before


Cyrus; see Diakonoff, 1971a), Diakonoff considered the problems of the origin and allocation of Iranian-speaking tribes in Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Eastern Iran, as well as their history in pre-Achaemenid times, based on the Avestan tradition and in the context of archeological data. According to his opinion, pre-Avestan and Avestan cultures of pre-Achaemend times should be located in Parthia, Margiana, Bactria, and Arachosia and dated to the first half of the 1st millennium BCE. He assumed that the Indo-Iranian tribes separated from the Indo-Europeans some time in the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE and probably migrated from Central Asia via the valley of the Tejen-Harirud River and thence to Kandahar towards India, and to Mašhad and Nišāpur towards Iran. He also considered probable the pre-Achaemenid existence ofa regional confederation in Drangiana, where Zoroaster preached at the court of Vištāspa (see GOŠTĀSP) not later than in the 7th century BCE, while the Bactrian confederation existed approximately from 650 to 540 BCE (see Diakonoff, 1971a, pp. 122-54). In collaboration with his brother, Mikhail Diakonoff, and Vladimir Livshits, he participated in the decipherment and study of over two thousand ostraca which were discovered during archaeological excavations at Nisa in Turkmenistan in 1948-61. As these scholars have demonstrated, the above-mentioned ostraca contain economic documents written in Parthian but in Aramaic heterographic script. Later these texts were published by Diakonoff together with V. A. Livshits (Diakonoff, 1960) and then they were edited byD. N. MacKenzie (1926-2001) in Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum (Diakonoff, 1976-2002).

His extensive memoirs, entitled Kniga vospominaniĭ (Book of


reminiscences, St. Petersburg, 1995), contain a detailed biography and an account of his scholarly activities.

Several volumes in his honor were published, among them one in English: Societies and Languages of the Ancient Near East. Studies in Honour of I. M. Diakonoff (Warminster, 1982).

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Amer Othman’s life turned upside down in an instant.
The Ohio entrepreneur, who came to the United States 38 years ago and won praise for helping revive once-blighted downtown Youngstown, was arrested during


what he thought was another check-in with immigration authorities. He was detained for two weeks and then deported to his native Jordan.
Othman’s supporters in the U.S. view such treatment as a particularly egregious example of the Trump administration’s ramped-up deportation campaign that potentially targets anyone lacking the right papers, including long-time residents with American spouses and children.
Recent cases include a Missouri college lecturer and a Connecticut couple running a nail salon who won last-minute reprieves through local politicians but remain at risk of expulsion.
Supporters of the crackdown say immigration rules must be enforced, regardless of family and community ties of those targeted.
Othman’s battle to remain in the United States goes back to the mid-1990s, when immigration authorities refused to renew his green card, alleging his first marriage inin ICE statistics on deportations, including of those who have settled in the United States, or “internal removals,” and those who recently crossed the border.
Internal removals increased from 65,332, or 27 percent of the total number of deportations, to 81,603, or 36 percent of the total, in a year. Within this category, deportations of those without a criminal record nearly tripled, from 5,104 to 13,744.
Othman, a descendant of Palestinian refugees from Jerusalem who fled to Jordan in the 1948 war over Israel’s creation, said he arrived in California in 1979.
He briefly attended college, married a U.S. citizen in 1980, received a green card and divorced in 1982, he said. He moved to Youngstown, where he married Fidaa in 1988. The couple moved to Brazil for three years for


business.
Upon his return to the U.S., he was told he had to apply for a new green card, but was ultimately turned down. In the meantime, he opened businesses in the Youngstown area.
In 2011, he opened the Downtown Circle, a convenience store and deli. Later, he added a bar and hookah bar, and bought another building in the area.“Amer was the first private sector business guy to really put the flag in the ground in downtown,” encouraging others, said Ryan.
Othman’s legal troubles erupted anew in August when ICE told him he had 30 days to leave the country. His lawyer obtained an extension, and Othman walked out of the ICE office with a Jan. 7 departure deadline and an ankle bracelet to monitor his movements, he said.
Othman saidhe bought a plane ticket to Amman for Jan. 7, sold his home and taught his family how to run the businesses.
In early January, he held a news conference detailing the looming deadline. Amid widespread publicity, ICE told him later that day that the deadline was off and that he should instead report to ICE two weeks later. Elated, Othman thought he had won a reprieve.
On Jan. 16, he reported to the ICE office. To his shock, he was arrested and handcuffed. Feeling betrayed, he started a hunger strike.
Leopold said his client was locked up “like an animal for the sole purpose of publicly humiliating him before deportation.”
In late January, Othman was driven to Cleveland airport for a flight to Chicago.

such reels, when an angler casts a fishing line during fishing, he operates an operating member to change over the return spring from its acting condition to its release condition, thereby forwardly moving the clutch lever against the torsion spring to disengage the clutch means, and the angler rotates a handle to return the clutch lever, thereby engaging the same. When the clutch lever is operated little by little to draw out the line or stop it for "flipping fishing", the operating member is operated to change over the return spring from the release condition to the acting condition and vice versa, whereby the clutch lever forwardly moves against the return spring to disengage the clutch means and is restored by the return spring to engage the same.
Forunknown artist, painting around the late 1580s, clearly had a last-minute panic about the ambiguity of the image: the scaly blue-green and black serpent was painted out, and replaced with the safe ‑ if slightly oddly shaped ‑ posy.

Tarnya Cooper, curator of 16th century paintings at the gallery, who has led the research into several Tudor portraits about to be redisplayed, says the serpent is a unique attribute in portraits of the queen. "The portrait of Elizabeth I with a hidden serpent is a really unusual survival. Yet it is difficult to know exactly why the serpent may have been originally included, or how common this motif might have been. The queen certainly owned jewellery and costume including emblems of serpents, which were probably understood as a symbol


of wisdom. However, no other portrait of Elizabeth appears to depict her holding a snake."

The gallery has owned the portrait for a century, but its condition is poor and it has not been on display since 1921. It will now be included in an exhibition opening later this month, Concealed and Revealed: The Changing Faces of Elizabeth I, of paintings made from the 1560s until just after the queen's death in 1603, which have all been altered in some way.

The x-rays that drove the serpent out of its lair also revealed another secret: the queen's exceptionally bumpy forehead is because of the inner woman trying to get out. The portrait was painted over an earlier, unfinished painting of another woman, probably by a different artist: the eyes andnose of the lost woman can just be seen in the queen's forehead.

Cooper said: "The recent technical analysis on these remarkable portraits has been critical to our understanding of Tudor painting."

The artist may never have seen the queen in the flesh ‑ and certainly, the art historians believe, never saw the serpent.

However, the investigation was halted amid claims by authorities that they had not been provided with any evidence that people had been detained in Lithuania and in any event, the investigation was subject to state secrecy.

The investigation was closed after prosecutors claimed that the statute of limitations on the charges against former intelligence officials had run its course. The authorities also refused in September 2011 to investigate allegations by the nongovernmental organization Reprieve that Abu Zubaydah, another Guantanamo Bay detainee, had been held in secret CIA detention in Lithuania in 2005.

The court entered an order on August 14, 1995, granting the petition.
On December 13, 1996, the father moved to have the adoption set aside. On April 29, 1997, the father moved to have the case transferred to the juvenile court. Following a hearing, the juvenile court, on October 8, 1997, entered an order setting the adoption aside, finding that the father had been improperly served with notification of the pending adoption. The court further ordered that the child remain in the physical custody of the grandparents pending further proceedings.
The grandparents, on October 21, 1997, petitioned the court for custody of


her mother could assist with the child's care. After five weeks, the mother and child moved back to Georgia to live with the father. In July 1990, the mother and child again moved to Montgomery to live with the child's grandparents. Shortly thereafter, the father also moved to Montgomery to live with them. The mother and father were married in September 1990. Shortly after the marriage, *301 the mother and father had planned to move to Ohio with the child. The night before they were to move, they got into an argument. The grandfather called for police assistance, and the father was asked to leave the residence. The father moved to Ohio alone; however, the mother and child moved to Ohio in November 1990 to be with thefather.
In January 1991, the mother left Ohio with the child and returned to the grandparents' home in Montgomery. The mother moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in January 1992 and left the child in the physical custody of the grandparents. The father and mother maintained contact by telephone until the mother's death in May 1995. The mother never informed the father that the child was living with the grandparents, and the father assumed that the child was with the mother in Atlanta. The father testified that he had spoken with the child by telephone, using a three-way calling system on several occasions. The father stated that he had sent the mother money on a monthly basis. However, the grandmother testified that the father had sent money only on three occasions.


She stated that he had sent three money orders, totaling $140, and that the grandfather had made a copy of each money order. The father testified that the mother moved often and that on several occasions he did not know her whereabouts. He stated that he would have to wait for the mother to contact him. Although the father attempted on several occasions to arrange for visitation, his attempts were unsuccessful. The father did not see the child from January 1991 until October 1997.
The father last spoke with the mother in April 1995. The mother had told the father that she was moving into a new residence and that she would notify him when she got settled in. When the father did not hear from the mother hebecame worried and contacted the grandmother. The grandmother told the father that she did not know where the mother was, even though she knew at the time that the mother had been murdered. The grandmother also did not inform the father that the child was living with her. The father eventually learned, in October 1995, that the mother had been murdered and that the child was living with the grandmother. The father testified that when he found out that the child was living with the grandparents he offered to provide clothes and other support, but was told by the grandparents that they did not need anything from him. He was also told not to telephone the grandparents' residence again. Thereafter, the father employed an attorney, discovered the adoption,


science is frequently associated with Catholicism--and yet, most Catholics know little about it as well.

The medical science in question is known as Natural Family Planning (NFP). On this show, we welcome Mariana Lopez and Carlos de la Torre, a married couple who are practitioners and teachers of NFP. They will discuss the challenges and benefits of the husband-wife collaboration involved in this fascinating marital discipline.

2018, of course, is the 50

By this I mean, he told the models exactly where to stand on the permanent X painted on the floor, while she pinned the gown to the seamless paper in a perfect circle. All of this went on while they engaged in a furious, shrill, loud argument. Most of which I could never understand, no matter how good my french got. Yet I learned a lot when I shot there. This was because on day #1 Mr. Astre talked with me about the “system” at the studio. I was often hired to do the tabletop stuff for the magazines.

By David Rieder

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, June 8. AMERICAN Olympians Breeja Larson and Cammile Adams each earned victories on the second of three days of action at their home pool at Texas A&M University, while Ricky Berens put up a strong swim in prelims before leaving the meet. Meanwhile, 16 year old showed her cards as a legitimate challenger at the national level in the 200 free.

Larson picked up the win in the women's 100 breast. Larson finished in 1:08.09, well short of her lifetime best of 1:05.92 she swam while winning the Olympic Trials last summer. She also fell well short of the 1:06.86 that Jessica Hardy swam last week to lead all Americans this year. Longhorn's Laura


Sogar earned her second podium finish after winning the 200 breast on Friday with a second-place time of 1:08.44. Longhorn's Gretchen Jaques took third in 1:10.05.

Adams, the Olympic Trials winner in the 200 fly, grabbed the win in the shorter 100 fly, coming in at 1:00.62. Longhorn's Ellen Lobb beat out Rice's Casey Clark for second, 1:01.16 to 1:01.26. Adams returned later to finish second in the 400 IM. Longhorn's Kaitlin Pawlowicz won the race in 4:50.59, while Adams touched in 4:52.00. Aggie's Sarah Henry came in third at 4:52.55.

In the prelims of the men's 200 free, Berens posted a time of 1:48.42. That easily surpassed the 1:49.50 he swam at the Charlotte Grand Prix last month, but he narrowly missed his season best, a 1:48.39 from March.Metro's Sam Lewis dominated the event final, winning in 1:51.56. Longhorn's Ian LeMaistre finished second in 1:56.93, while Aggie's Bryan Michaels picked up third in 1:57.43.

Longhorn's Quinn Carrozza blazed the women's 200 free final with a 1:58.36. Carrozza, 16, swam a time that only three Americans have bested this year, and all of them (Katie Ledecky, Missy Franklin, and Allison Schmitt) won Olympic gold medals last summer. With six qualifying spots available for the 800 free relay team at the upcoming World Championships, Carrozza has positioned herself to challenge for one of those spots. Meanwhile, Longhorn's Sam Tucker finished second in 2:01.92, and Aggie's Liliana Ibanez Lopez finished third in 2:04.57.

Denver Swim Academy's Clark Smith took the men's 100 fly in 54.06. Magnolia's Cannon Clifton grabbed second in


Comparative electrochemical behaviour of biotin hydrazide and photobiotin. Importance in the development of biosensors.
The cyclic voltammetric behaviour of biotin hydrazide and photobiotin on carbon paste electrodes has been studied. Biotin hydrazide presents an anodic and irreversible process, meanwhile photobiotin presents two, adsorptive in nature. This characteristic makes photobiotin desirable for following the interaction between biotin and streptavidin, being possible to detect a streptavidin concentration of 10(-12) M. The evidence of this reaction has been shown either directly in solution or on the electrode surface. Photobiotin as the molecule portable of analytical information and carbon paste as the solid support could be applied to the development of sensors based on the oxidation of this molecule.A rhinoceros subspecies is almost extinct.

On Monday, the world's last male northern white rhino, Sudan, died at 45 years of age.

Sudan — who is named for his country of birth and lived under the protection of armed guards at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, away from poachers — suffered from a degenerative muscle and bone condition and was euthanized.

Fortunately, scientists were able to gather genetic material that could one day be used to create more northern white rhinos through IVF. Sudan also left behind a daughter and granddaughter, so there's a flicker of hope for the wildlife preservation community.

Even so, there are numerous other animal species and subspecies that are in danger of perishing for good. The Amur leopard and Sumatran elephant are just two of 19
