The Cartesian Other was also used by Sigmund Freud, who saw the superego as an abstract regulatory force, and Émile Durkheim who viewed this as a psychologically manifested entity which represented God in society at large.

Body and environment, questioning the meaning of being
Schools of subjectivism, objectivism and relativism existed at various times in the 20th century, and the postmodernists and body philosophers tried to reframe all these questions in terms of bodies taking some specific action in an environment. This relied to a great degree on insights derived from scientific research into animals taking instinctive action in natural and artificial settings—as studied by biology,On 26 June 2011 the Bank for International Settlement, the world’s oldest international financial organization based in Basel, Switzerland, published it 81st Annual Report. Amidst the authorities’ concerns regarding the Greek debt crisis, the prospects of failure to raise the U.S. debt limit on the 2nd of August, and the nomination of a new IMF managing director, the BIS report provides the following major insights, which regard fiscal and monetary policy in particular and can be summarized through the following sentences:


Presidents Trump and Putin have a common view of the liberal world order that the United States helped create seven decades ago. Both leaders seek its destruction, writes Robert Kagan. This piece was originally published by NPR on July 17.

Because it is hard to break old patterns of understanding the world, we have persistently misunderstood Donald Trump and what he is up to. Thus most observers of the Helsinki summit—critics and defenders alike—expected to see some version of the traditional meeting between American and Russian leaders: two adversaries coming together to address mutual concerns, raise objections, talk over possible solutions and seek common ground.

There was the standard list of issues—Syria, Ukraine, nuclear weapons—on which to make progress or not. There were the standard concerns: Would Trump give upof which was the “greatest tragedy of the 20th century,” as he once put it—and then deprived post-Soviet Russia of its sphere of influence in eastern and central Europe.

The triumph of the liberal world order after 1989 left Russia a second-tier power with a weak economy and embarrassingly diminished international clout. Putin has therefore sought, just as other Russian leaders have in the past, to weaken, divide and demoralize the liberal world. He has supported right-wing nationalist parties throughout Europe. He has tried to weaken and undermine the European Union and NATO. And it is understandable why.

When the West is strong and coherent, Russia has little room to maneuver. Only when the West is in disarray—as it was during the Napoleonic Wars, for instance, or during the 1930s


and 1940s—can Russia be a major global power and fulfill dreams of empire going back to Peter the Great. Only then can Russian leaders like Putin deliver geopolitical victories to distract attention from domestic failures.

Putin never had an interest in integrating Russia into the liberal world order, therefore, even though the average Russian would have benefited, at least materially. He depends on confrontation and chaos.

And, as it happens, so does Trump. That has certainly been his strength in domestic politics, and he has transferred his domestic modus operandi to the world stage.

Only when the West is in disarray…can Russia be a major global power.

His success at home came from stirring up populist, nationalist passions against what he and his supporters regarded as an entrenched cosmopolitan elite. It’s hardlysurprising that he would view the world through the same lens, that he would support populist, nationalist movements across Europe against the traditional parties that have upheld the liberal world order.

It is not just the European Union that he regards as a hostile foe—it is all the institutions and arrangements of the liberal world to which past American presidents of both parties have paid their allegiance. He regards them both as constraints on his freedom of action and as inherently hostile to him and his followers—which they are. Therefore, he seeks to destroy them, as he made clear not only at the NATO summit but throughout his presidency.

Like Putin, he has thrown his support to Hungary’s Viktor Orban, as well as to the right nationalist parties of France,


the number of fake followers out there is surprising. According to the StatusPeople tool, 71 percent of Lady Gaga's nearly 29 million followers are "fake" or "inactive." So are 70 percent of President Obama's nearly 19 million followers.

Republican opponent Mitt Romney has far fewer Twitter followers -- not quite 900,000 -- but it's a good bet that some of them are fake as well.

Gordon Hayward is one of the fastest rising stars in the NBA. Before turning pro, he played with the Butler Bulldogs. Now, he is starting for the NBA's Utah Jazz and signed a max contract with them in 2014. Gordon also happens to be an avid eSports fan and loves playing video games in general, even keeping up with the League of Legends World Championships as his Jazz gear up for their regular season debut against the Detroit Pistons on Oct. 28, three days before League crowns their champion.

We caught up with Hayward and discussed when he started getting into video games, what the future of eSports holds, and which team he believes will hoist the Summoner's Cup come Halloween night in Berlin's Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Enter Chance the Rapper, the 23-year-old Chicagoan whose fans span a spectrum deeper than the Grand Canyon — from President Obama and President Beyoncé to the young, sold-out crowd jumping up and down in delirium at the Fillmore Miami Beach.

Chance started the show like he was ripping off a Band-Aid. The moment the curtain peeled back, he had already traveled the length of the stage twice, convulsing and dancing like he was trying to purge some unwanted spirit from within himself. Calling it energetic is a sad understatement. What Chance has is so much more than just energy. Chance performs like he's just been freed from a cage. Chance performs like an iPhone that's been charging for 73 years.

He fought through "Angels" and then leaped right into "Blessings,"


root for. His spirit of positivity shines so bright — and in direct opposition to the incredible violence of his hometown streets of Chicago's South Side. His intentions are so clear, which is a rarity not only in the music industry but in the world.

And last night, those intentions were to share his music — and soul — with Miami. That's just what he did, with the help of a cast of puppets, for the next hour. Chance's live show was a theatrical journey through his own subconscious — which was often narrated by a massive puppet lion named Carlos.

It was fun and silly but also powerfully nostalgic and personal in a way most of the millennial crowd could surely relate to. These goofy creatures talked us throughmuch of our childhood. Now, older but not any less scared, we watched as they counseled Chance on love, success, and art.

It helped to build a feeling of community few concerts can achieve — until one sad moment snapped that momentum in half. Deep into the third act of the show, it appeared there was some sort of commotion near the front of the room. A fan jumped up onstage and tried to hug Chance, who was blindsided by the assault. Chance and his band quickly walked off as the lights and music cut out. The crowd was left shrugging in their seats for about five minutes, wondering if this was part of the show — maybe some metaphor for the thin line between fan and artist.

It wasn't.


And we waited a few more minutes.

"Who would assassinate Chance the Rapper?" someone in the crowd asked out loud.

And then, as hope was draining from the Fillmore, we heard a tiny whoop from backstage, Chance's way of letting us know the show would go on. He emerged, though he looked shaken and unsure — hesitant for the first time all night.

He thanked us and told us this had been the best show of his tour. Then, staring at the ground, he said, "It's kind of hard to jump back into the narrative thing, so I think I'm just going to finish with my last couple of songs."

"Seth Meyers is taking on hosting duties at the upcoming Golden Globes. The news was announced on Thanksgiving Day in a statement from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is excited to have Seth Meyers host the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards", said HFPA President Meher Tatna in a statement. "With his natural comedic wit and innate ability to charm audiences, Seth will help us carry on the celebratory tradition of recognizing the best in television and film at the Party of the Year."

The "Late Night" host recently signed on to emcee the star-studded awards show just a few weeks before the Hollywood Foreign Press is set to hand out the coveted statues in January.

This is Meyers' first time


hosting the prestigious show, as he takes the reins from "The Tonight Show's" Jimmy Fallon, who led the proceedings this past January.

Before Meyers took on the high-profile role, there was speculation that the show would air without a host for the first time since 2009.

A hostless Golden Globes may sound odd to some, but since its inaugural event in 1944, the black tie awards show never had a host (save for one year in 1995), until Ricky Gervais emceed at the 68th Golden Globes in 2010.

Gervais went on to host for three consecutive years before Amy Poehler and Tina Fey took over hosting duties for their own three-year run. When they stepped away, Gervais came back to host in 2016 and Fallon followed.

Meyers has been gaining steam amonglate night shows for his frequent and in-depth commentary criticizing President Donald Trump.

His track record for hosting awards shows has been minor, but not unimpressive. The 43-year-old comic led the 2014 Emmys and famously lampooned Trump -- who was then simply a businessman and reality personality -- during the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.

The 2018 Golden Globes will air live from the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills on Jan. 7, 2018.

       Brasmer served in the United States Air Force as an assistant crew chief and then

crew chief from approximately 1969 to 1973. During that time, he was stationed at

several different military bases, including Lackland Air Force Base (“AFB”) in Texas,

Homestead AFB in Florida, Da Nang AFB in Vietnam, Webb AFB in Texas,

Albuquerque AFB in New Mexico, and bases in Thailand. At Homestead AFB, Da Nang

AFB, and in Thailand, Brasmer worked on the F-4E Phantom jet (the “F-4E”),

manufactured by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a company later acquired by the

Boeing Company (“Boeing”). The F-4Es were primarily outfitted with the J79 Engine,

which GE had designed in conjunction with the United States Air


                                         4
      During his deposition, Brasmer testified that he replaced seals and gaskets in the

engine compartment of the F-4E, and that he wiped down the dusty engine compartment

with a dry cloth. Brasmer further testified that he worked on engine seals that contained

a fiberglass-like component which he assumed was asbestos.

      B.     Procedural History

      In February 2012, Brasmer was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma,

and, in April 2012, he filed a statesnow, freezing rain, ice pellets, rain and powerful winds that battered the region Saturday and Sunday had made driving treacherous, with provincial police reporting more than 1,600 non-fatal crashes on the highways surrounding Toronto over the two days.

Provincial police also said Highway 400 south of Barrie, Ont., remained closed in both directions after a collision involving two trucks took out the highway divider.

The poor conditions also prompted bus and school cancellations in parts of the province Monday, with schools in Hamilton, Halton and Peel regions closed for the day and buses cancelled in various other districts.

After pummelling Ontario over the weekend, the storm slowly moved east.

In Ottawa, which was under a freezing rain warning, all entrances to the Centre Block on Parliament Hill were closed because of falling


ice.

Meanwhile, icy roads were creating slippery conditions in different parts of Quebec, with schools in the greater Montreal area and further afield closed due to the accumulation of freezing rain.

Hydro-Quebec reported early Monday that more than 33,000 of its clients were without electricity, the majority in the hard-hit Outaouais region in western Quebec and the Monteregie region southeast of Montreal.

Air travellers were advised to check the status of their flights before heading out on Monday, with delays and cancellations reported at airports in Ontario and Quebec.

Some universities and colleges also cancelled exams due to the weather, and with heavy rain continuing overnight there were concerns about possible localized flooding.

In Toronto, officials said the clearing of some streets was delayed as crews concentrated on clearing catch basins in anthe group on the five-day regimen and 76.5 percent of those on the ten-day regimen—the same therapies earlier studies had found superior—had overcome their infection.

Stomach cancer prevention: A complicated goal

The trial was part of an initiative exploring ways to reduce the incidence of stomach cancer. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, stomach cancer was the fourth most common malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death in the world in 2008, with an estimated 990,000 new cases and about 738,000 deaths. Approximately 72 percent of new cases occurred in developing countries.

"The ultimate goal is to advance the discussion about whether we should approach stomach cancer prevention by mass eradication programs for H. pylori," said lead author Dr. E. Robert Greenberg, a Center epidemiologist in


the matter was referred to the probation department for a presentencing report, and the case was calendared for November 8, 2007, when it was anticipated that Judge Barclay, as well as both counsel, would be available. On the original sentencing date, for reasons not set forth in the record provided to us, the matter was continued to December 27, again before Judge Barclay.
On December 12, 2007, McIntosh's attorney informed the court that McIntosh wished to withdraw his plea on the ground of ineffective assistance of counsel. He asked the court to continue the sentencing hearing and to appoint new counsel. The court appointed the public defender to represent McIntosh and continued the matter to January 24, 2008. The minute order notes that the case would continue to beheard before Judge Barclay. On March 13, 2008, Judge Barclay ordered the sentencing "off calendar" to allow the public defender additional time to file a motion to withdraw the plea. The matter was again continued to April 28, 2008, for a hearing on the motion, with the hearing department identified as "TBA."
McIntosh filed a motion to withdraw his plea on March 14, 2008, contending that he was never advised that a direct consequence of his plea was lifetime sex offender registration, and asserting that he would not have entered the plea had he been so advised. (See People v. Zaidi (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 1470 [55 Cal.Rptr.3d 566].)
On April 1, 2008, Presiding Judge Ramona Garrett, by "In-Chambers Criminal Minute Order" reassigned this matter to Judge Peter B. Foor "for


all purposes" on the basis that "[t]his Court has recently learned that Judge Barclay will be unavailable to sit on assignment for a number of months due to personal matters."
At the April 28, 2008 motion hearing before Judge Foor, McIntosh's counsel acknowledged that Judge Barclay would no longer be able to handle the case, and argued that McIntosh was thus entitled to withdraw his plea under Arbuckle. At continued motion hearings on May 8, 2008, and June 10, 2008, he argued the change violated an implied term of his plea agreement. Judge Foor observed that "The judge who originally took this plea was a . . . retired visiting judge . . . [who] is no longer being permitted to hear cases. There is no possible way thatsentencing judge becomes unavailable for reasons beyond the court's control. We find the reasoning in Dunn more persuasive and hold that, at least in circumstances where sentencing discretion is constrained by the terms of a plea agreement and the sentencing judge becomes unavailable for reasons beyond the court's or the prosecution's control, the defendant is not entitled to withdraw his or her plea in the absence of evidence that exercise of individualized judicial discretion was a material element of the plea agreement.

A. Arbuckle and the Problem of Unavailability

In Arbuckle, the defendant argued that a term of his plea agreement was violated because he was sentenced by a different judge from the judge who took his plea. (Arbuckle, supra, 22 Cal.3d at p. 753.) Because of delays caused by


motions and a writ petition brought by the defendant himself in relation to the sentencing, by the time of the sentencing hearing the judge who took the defendant's plea had been reassigned to a different department. (Ibid.) The defendant claimed that sentencing by the same judge was an implied term of his plea agreement that he had the right to specifically enforce. (Id. at pp. 756-757.) The Supreme Court, in a relatively brief discussion, agreed that the change of the sentencing judge violated an implied term of the plea agreement and that the defendant was entitled to a remedy. (Ibid.)
(3) First, the court held that "the plea bargain herein was entered in expectation of and in reliance upon sentence being imposed by the same judge."

Los Angeles: A California judge on Friday gave the US government until the following night to submit a list of children under five separated from their families at the border, a government official said.

US President Donald Trump's administration had asked the court to extend a deadline to reunite some detained children with their migrant parents, arguing it needed more time to perform necessary checks and confirm identities.

Judge Dana Sabraw had issued an injunction on June 26 requiring the government to reunite detained migrant children under the age of five within 14 days and those over that age within 30 days.

More than 2,300 children, around 100 of them under the age of five, were separated from their families as a consequence of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy thatCivil Liberties Union's Immigrants' Rights Project, said of the Friday ruling.

Back to court

The ACLU brought the case that led to Sabraw's injunction on behalf of migrant parents.

But according to a government official, the judge did not formally rule out extending the period, and another hearing will be held on Monday.

In a filing submitted Thursday, the US Department of Justice said HHS was using DNA swab testing to determine parentage.

But it said that even though the department "is moving expeditiously to undertake these DNA tests, that process takes meaningful time, even when it is expedited."

It added that given the possibility of false claims, "confirming parentage is critical to ensure that children are returned to their parents, not to potential traffickers," and that the government also needed to determine whether


nature of the review.'

Berti favored taking into consideration the concerns of the States and strictly complying with what was established in the institutional construction package.

'The universality of this mechanism is essential. So is the fair treatment of all members of the United Nations, bringing about an objective and periodic review, in a climate of respect and mutual cooperation,' he stated.

Geneva, June 28 (RHC)-- Cuba rejected at United Nations headquarters in Geneva the politicization of the issue of Human Rights, as well as the manipulation, double standards and selectivity of its treatment.

Speaking at the 38th regular session of the UN Council for Human Rights, Cuban ambassador Pedro Luis Pedroso regretted that ‘dialogue and cooperation, some of the foundations on which the Council was created, have been left aside andwere separated from their parents or adult guardians.

The number of separations has jumped since early May, when Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that all migrants illegally crossing the US border with Mexico would be arrested, regardless of whether the adults were seeking asylum.

Since children cannot be sent to the facilities where their parents are held, they are separated.

Zeid quoted the American Association of Pediatrics as describing the practice as "government-sanctioned child abuse" which may cause "irreparable harm," with "lifelong consequences".

"I call on the United States to immediately end the practice of forcible separation of these children," he said, urging Washington to ratify the Convention of the Rights of the Child.

The US is the only country that has not ratified the convention.

Ratification, Zeid said, would "ensure that the fundamental


medical supplies and the crisis of medical referrals for outside treatment," Ahmad Kurd, the coordinator of the collective, told Al-Jazeera Sunday.

Just in the past few days five premature babies died due to lack of medical treatments available in the region, Kurd said. Meanwhile nearly 100 people died while trying to use alternate electricity. The number of workers who were killed in the fields of agriculture, fishing, and commercial tunnels has reached 350, according to the collective.

Ever since the 2007 Israel-imposed blockade on Gaza, the territory has been in crisis and has been facing food, water, and power shortages. "Gaza is a disaster area in all areas - health, environmental, social, and energy," he warned, adding that power cuts last between 18-20 hours a day.

The Palestinian government "must providethe needs of the Gaza Strip regarding medical supplies, social assistance, pay the salaries of government employees, and exert pressure to open the border crossings," Kurd said. "The use of candles, firewood or generators has resulted in house fires that claimed the lives of children and adults alike."

According to the Israeli Information for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, Gaza's economy is collapsing due to the blockade. Between May and August 2017, Gaza's unemployment rate stood at 44 percent, whereas during pre-blockade, in 2000, the region's unemployment rate was 18.9 percent.

Some 80 percent of the nearly 2 million residents of Gaza depend on humanitarian aid, with around 60 percent suffering food insecurity.

According to Haaretz, a Palestinian fisherman was killed Sunday by the Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, after


he sailed past the authorized fishing zone off the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF spokesman said the fishermen didn't respond to their call, after which they opened fire. The boat was carrying three people and the other two fishermen were detained by the IDF for interrogation.

"We are sure that the wounded are fishermen who went out to sea to make a living – and nothing else," the head of the Gaza Fisherman's Union told Haaretz. "The [Israeli] army is always inventing stories about crossing [out of] the fishing zone."

Cubasí.cu interviewed translator Aracelia del Valle from Escambray website on people’s reaction for the journey of the caravan carrying the remains of Commander in Chiefwith Ryan’s announced departure, those hoping for a change in the trajectory of the Republican Party to arrive with Ryan’s replacement should brace themselves for disappointment.

For the second time in nearly three years, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California appears to be the odds-on favorite to take the spot as number-one Republican in the House.

McCarthy has been at the center of the fights for nearly every major Republican piece of legislation and deregulatory effort since Donald Trump became president. He delivered on his promise to pass an Obamacare repeal in the House, though the measure failed in the Senate, as in years past. He was also a key player in scrapping more than a dozen Obama-era regulations through the Congressional Review Act.

McCarthy is considered by many to


be the president’s inside-man in Congress, having been one of the first Republican leaders to support Trump as a candidate. Famously, McCarthy served as a liaison between Trump and congressional Republicans who had disavowed him after the release of the bombshell Access Hollywood Tape. McCarthy—whom Trump referred to as “my Kevin”—has maintained a special relationship with the president ever since, shepherding his agenda, whenever possible, though the House.

Though he hasn’t officially announced a run, McCarthy has already received support from Ryan himself and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who showed interest in the job early on but announced he would not challenge McCarthy. But there are other caucus members whom McCarthy will need to convince.

McCarthy’s first bid for the speakership was largely sunk by opposition from members ofthe House Freedom Caucus, who viewed him as too close to the Republican establishment. An endorsement from then-Speaker John Boehner did little to endear him to conservative hardliners, and McCarthy dropped out of the race just hours before the caucus was to vote. After much nudging, Paul Ryan consented to take the nomination instead.

Unlike Ryan, who was initially unwilling to accept the gavel, McCarthy has wanted the speakership for years. And it appears likely that the California congressman will have to cater to the demands of the extreme right of his caucus to get it.

With members of the House Freedom Caucus none too happy at the size of domestic spending included in the $1.3 trillion budget funding bill passed last month, McCarthy has reportedly been working closely with

roots and idolizes his father (and best friend) Tommy Coomes, widely recognized as a pioneer of Christian Rock. If anything, Erick embraces the good parts of religion, but avoids "the baggage." He's not religious, per say, but he's quick to specify "I pray to Jesus all the time."

It would all be strange if it wasn't such a common (and healthy) view of religion embraced by a generation of people who don't quite know how to talk about their beliefs and contextualize their own life experiences. And besides, he didn't create the Jesus nickname....it came from legendary Compton rapper and producer DJ Quik.

How that came to pass is not totally clear, but it was Quik who first hired Coomes to work as a studio musician and picked up onthe fact that "dude with the beard and long hair straight up looks like Jesus," Coomes jokes while hanging out at a cafe overlooking the ocean inside his art deco apartment in Long Beach, his home base that's equal distance from his favorite beach in Laguna and LA's thriving studio scene.

"No matter how long my day has been, when my phone rings and it says Jesus, I just get the biggest smile on my face,” Lettuce's agent Josh Knight tells Billboard. "It takes a pretty special guy to make everyone he encounters grin from ear to ear. That energy carries over on stage too and the crowd feeds off of it and he feeds off them."

He's in state about half the year, the other half constantly touring as


the front man of Lettuce and seeking out beauty and comfort in new places, like the caverns of Pellham, Tennessee, where he wrapped his September tour trying to squeeze every authentic moment out of the journey.

"I'm always the last to leave the show, the caves were amazing and i didn't want to miss something," he explains, acknowledging that he'll back on the road for another month starting Nov. 6 at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville, Arkansas to tour the East Coast and Midwest before returning home for a break in December and then hitting the road again in January, playing North America and then Europe.

The music industry has never really known quite how to categorize Coomes or Lettuce, formed with fellow music students at Berklee College in Bostonwas known as “Boogie,” growing up in the music industry, later becoming a student of legendary sessions musician and jazz bassist John Patitucci and always present in father's recording studio.

“My dad basically invented Jesus music,” he joked of his father, who founded and performed in Love Song, one of the first Christian rock bands in the U.S. Tommy Coomes later transitioned to a producer and was a major music force in Southern California's often overlooked evangelical communities, working with famous preachers like Billy Graham and Greg Laurie with Harvest Christian Fellowship.

“(My parents) were hippies and came out of the sixties looking to ground themselves and grow a family -- kinda spacing out and being part of this Southern California version of Christianity,” he said. “It was a hippy,


‘Jesus loves you’ vibe. It was the good life and we learned about Jesus and Gandhi and leading with love and acceptance.”

To this day, he says his father is one of his best friends and an important supporter and role model.

“My dad is basically on the most uplifting vibe all the time. Hanging out with him has made me who I am,” he says. “The energy that we're putting out from stage through the music is exactly the same message he's putting out with acceptance and love.”

Today four members of the 1992 Lettuce lineup are still with band — drummer Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, saxophone player Ryan Zoidis and Coomes. Trumpeter Eric "Benny" Bloom joined Lettuce in 2011 and vocalist and keyboardist Nigel Hall joined inUnited States at Boston, Massachusetts on July 8, 1949 as an immigrant for permanent residence.

On December 19, 1949, petitioner registered under the Selective Service Act with Local Board No. 61 in Chicago, Illinois.  On March 30, 1951, August 14, 1951 and December 26, 1951, he was ordered to report for a physical examination preliminary to possible induction into the United States Army.  He failed to respond to such orders.  On January 8, 1952, he was ordered by Local Board No. 61 to report for induction into the United States Army.  He failed to report.

4
However, on January 7, 1952, petitioner wrote a letter to Local Board No. 61 in which he stated that he was an alien residing temporarily in the United States; that he


was ready to depart to Argentina to join his father; that it was his 'further desire to waive all the privileges and opportunities that the United States extended to me and therefore I absolutely refuse to join the United States Army, due to the fact as stated before, that I am an alien'; and requested that he be classified accordingly.

5
Prior to that, on August 22, 1951, at the request of petitioner's attorney and the Lithuanian Consul in Chicago, Local Board No. 61 issued petitioner a permit to depart from the United States to Argentina to join his father there and to remain in Argentina for permanent residence.1  On March 10, 1952, almost seven months after receiving such permit and more than two months after receiving an orderto report for induction, he obtained his visa as an immigrant to Argentina from the Argentine Consul in Chicago.  He has represented that his father was ill.

Petitioner resided in Argentina2 until he last entered the United States on February 6, 1954 at San Juan, Puerto Rico pursuant to Section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. 1101(a)(15)(B) as a temporary visitor for pleasure to visit his mother to March 6, 1954.  On his application, he was granted extensions of temporary stay to September 6, 1954 and February 6, 1955.  On March 28, 1955, he


was ordered to show cause why he should not be deported as a visitor for pleasure who had failed to comply with the conditions of such status.

9
Hearings were had before a Special Inquiry Officer of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for a total period of four days beginning on April 25, 1955 ending on August 12, 1955.  On September 13, 1955, the Special Inquiry Officer found that the petitioner was subject to deportation under Section 241(a)(9) of the Immigration andNationality Act, since he had stayed longer than permitted as a visitor for pleasure; and also that he was subject to deportation under Section 241(a)(1) of the Act,3 in that he was an alien who had departed or remained outside the United States to avoid or evade training or service in the Armed Forces in time of war or a period declared by the President to be a National Emergency under Section 212(a)(22) of the Act.4

10
This decision was appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, which affirmed the decision of the Special Inquiry Officer on December 2, 1955.

11
Thereafter, petitioner voluntarily enlisted in the United States Army and served from July 17, 1956 to January 9, 1957, when he received an honorable discharge.5

Despite the 3-0 tonking on the south coast I witnessed when I last went to watch Morecambe, the fixture computer had given the Shrimps another early southern away game. This time at the Shrimpers, on the Essex Coast. Having been unavailable the previous two seasons when Morecambe played here, I wasn’t missing it this time and with Morecambe having never lost to Southend, I was looking forward to seeing that continue.

Southend-on-Sea is a unitary authority area, town, and seaside resort in Essex situated within the Thames Gateway on the north side of the Thames estuary 40 mi east of central London. Originally the "south end" of the village of Prittlewell, became a seaside resort during the Georgian era, attracting many tourists in the summer months to its sevenmiles of beaches and bathing in the sea. Good rail connections and proximity to London mean that much of the economy has been based on tourism, and that Southend has been a dormitory town for city workers ever since. Southend, like many other British sea-side resorts, went into decline as a holiday destination from the 1960s, since flights and hence holidays abroad became more affordable. Since then, much of the town centre has been developed for commerce and retail, and during the 1960s many original structures were lost to redevelopment. However, about 6.4 million tourists still visit Southend per year, generating estimated revenues of £200 million a year.

Southend United were formed relatively late in 1906 and played Southern League football until 1920 when they co-founded the Football League’s


new 3rd Division. The league was regionalised a year later and in the Southern Section of the League, Southend only ever came close to promotion twice when they finished 3rd in 1932 and 1950. When the league was nationalised in 1958, Southend became a yo-yo team as they floated between the 3rd and 4th Divisions between their first relegation in 1966 and winning the 4th Division in 1981. After the dark days of the 1980s when on the pitch, the Shrimpers were struggling back in the 4th Division and off the pitch, the club lost £70k out of the Christmas savings scheme through fraud, the club turned the corner and began on the up. A double promotion in 1990 and 1991 saw Southend in the 2nd Division andNew Year’s Day 1992 saw the Shrimpers top of the league. Had they continued their good form, the club could have become founding members of the Premier League, but they tailed off to finish 12th. Again, the club started to decline, but were back in the newly named Championship in 2007 after a revival from Steve Tilson. Their time in the Championship was short as they were relegated after 1 season and were back down in the basement in 2010 following their 23rd place finish in League 1. They only have looked like promotion contenders once in their 3 seasons back at this level, with a 4th place finish in 2011/12 but were beaten by Crewe in the play-offs.

Roots Hall is technically a “ground for concern” as Southend


the other goal which might win the award for smallest two tiered stand in the Football League? With another styled stand of the West Stand, Roots Hall is one of those types of ground which are sadly disappearing over time and will no doubt be replaced by some shite plastic structure on the edge of Southend.

My worries surrounding Morecambe getting going after the Portsmouth defeat were silly as the Shrimps were one of the form teams in the league coming into this game. Sending Exeter and then Plymouth back to Devon with their pasties between the legs was the start and after giving Newcastle a massive scare in the League Cup, we were looking on the up. Being in 13th position, it was a far sight better thanthe start we had made. The home side had looked to have made a reasonable start in the league with wins over Plymouth, Hartlepool and Northampton before defeats to Chesterfield and Wycombe had brought them back down towards the chasing pack. Still looking good (even though it was early on) in 7th position, a lot of people had this game as a home banker. Yet, in 6 attempts Southend had never beaten Morecambe and I was confident we’d push that and make it 7.

Much like the Portsmouth game, Morecambe started a tad slowly and allowed the fake Shrimpers to come at them. Unlike Portsmouth however, we were playing a system that the side were used to and Barry Roche was in goal leading his defence well. Still, if


into the bottom corner from 30 yards. Much like the recent game vs Plymouth, Morecambe had shown great fighting sprits to not be behind for long. With Southend stunned, the game petered out till HT where it looked like anyone’s if they wanted it.

Within 30 seconds of the 2nd half, it was clear who wanted the three points more. A long ball downfield caught Southend out to allow Padraig Amond a clear run at goal but was blocked by Southend goalie Daniel Bentley. However, the ball ran loose after the block and goal hero Fleming was on hand to smash the ball through the people on the line to give Morecambe the lead. It got ever better on 56 minutes when Craig Sampson (who had never scored anew 14,000 stadium will be hosting some massive games against Hyde and Braintree rather than the Football League.

After coming up to 2 years living in London, there were only a few more professional football grounds still to see. Tottenham’s White Hart Lane might be done if they bother to offer tickers below £30 in the foreseeable future, while I might leave Barnet’s new Hive for a wee while. That just left Upton Park, standing in East London, before the Hammers move across to the Olympic Stadium (it seems) in 2016. When West Ham were drawn against Cheltenham Town in the League Cup and offered cheap tickets (you watching Spurs!?) I didn’t need asked.

West Ham is an area in the London Borough of Newsham. A settlement in the area


named Ham was first recorded as Hamme in an Anglo-Saxon charter of 958 and then in the 1086 Domesday Book as Hame. The earliest recorded use of West Ham, as distinct from East Ham, is in 1186 as Westhamma. It is formed from Old English 'hamm' and means 'a dry area of land between rivers or marshland', referring the location of the settlement within boundaries formed by the rivers Lea, Thames and Roding and their marshes. West Ham was then formed around a large ancient parish in the Becontree hundred of Essex. Following the opening of Stratford station, the first railway station in the area, in 1839, the focus of activity shifted northwards towards the fast-expanding Stratford, with the original settlement diminishing in significance. In 1840 the parishwas included in the Metropolitan Police District and soon after the built-up area of London had encompassed West Ham. The former county borough was merged with the adjacent County Borough of East Ham to form the new London Borough of Newham on 1 April 1965. Today, the area has been one of the most deprived in the country and as part of the New Deal for Communities programme it forms, with neighbouring Plaistow, a regeneration area, helped in part by the 2012 London Olympics which took place on its doorstep.

The earliest generally accepted incarnation of West Ham United was founded in 1895 as the Thames Ironworks team by foreman and local league referee Dave Taylor and owner Arnold Hills. The team played on a strictly amateur basis until


1898 when they entered the Southern League 2nd Division, where they won promotion to the 1st Division on the first attempt. The team initially played in full dark blue kits, as inspired by Mr. Hills, who had been an Oxford University "Blue", but changed in 1899 when they acquired their now traditional home kit combination of claret shirts and sky blue sleeves in a wager involving Aston Villa players, who were League Champions at the time. The club was relaunched in 1900 as West Ham United and moved to their current Boleyn Ground in Upton Park in 1904. After reaching the famous White Horse Final in the FA Cup in 1923 (they lost 2-0 to Bolton), the club settled into a position in the top two leagues, reachingthe top flight again in 1958. The club enjoyed their greatest success under Ron Greenwood as they won the FA Cup and Cup Winners Cup during the mid 60’s before a large chunk of West Ham players made up the England 1966 World Cup squad. (I can’t remember how they did) After the glory days ended, the club did start to yo-yo between the two leagues again until 1993/94 when after promotion to the Premier League they appeared to have become a mainstay. Under Harry Redknapp they achieved some impressive league finishes, but when he was replaced in 2001, they started their slump again and have been relegated twice (and bounced back both times) before seemingly being back in the comfortable top flight clubs under current boss Sam


it was made all-seater later) and did contact the Hammer’s loud support, however they have now moved over sit near the away fans. The two stands behind the goals are also quite imposing (Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking Stands) and the compact nature of Upton Park, surrounded by housing right around it, mean it’s a great place to watch football and for the big games, must have a good atmosphere.

The League Cup rarely brings in the “big games” anymore for the top flight clubs as most see it as a nuisance and extra games. For clubs out of the ivory tower though, the chance to play the big boys is one to enjoy and as much like Morecambe did against Newcastle, Cheltenham Town were right up for thisone. Not fully packing out the away end, but bringing considerably more than they would for a league game, the Robins hadn’t started particularly well in League 2. Defeats to Chesterfield and Plymouth had been partially resolved with a win over non-league bound Accrington but a team who had been challenging for play-off positions in the past few seasons will want to do better. They had won a bizarre 1st Round tie at home to Crawley Town to set this game up, the furthest they had been in the competition since 2008/09. (When they had lost 3-2 to Stoke) West Ham had only played two league games in the build up to this, with a 2-0 home win against Cardiff City and a goalless draw at Newcastle to


over the bar. As the half went on, the Robins began to push on a bit more as Razvan Rat and Adrian had to work hard at the back to stop them creating a clear cut chance. Sadly though, Cheltenham were undone just before half time. A foul on Ravel Morrison on the edge of the area brought the Hammers a free kick and up stepped Ricardo Vaz Te to smash the ball into the top corner. A shot out of the “you don’t save those” category, gave West Ham a lead a HT that looked very unlikely some 10 minutes earlier.

Clearly unhappy with the performance in the first half, Big Sam brought on Stewart Downing for Joe Cole and the Hammers seemed to have killed the gameoff instantly. Downing received the ball on the right and slipped it back to Morrison on the edge of the area. He easily skipped past one man before smashing the ball into the bottom corner. Barely a minute into the 2nd half, the Robins could really have been killed off as they let their heads drop and the Hammers looked to score more. Mohamed Diame fired a powerful shot over before both Vaz Te and Downing had headers that were just kept out. It looked like being one way traffic until Cheltenham then pulled one back amazingly. On a rare attack, the Hammers defence completely fell asleep to allow Sam Deering to nip in behind and poke the ball past Adrian. While Deering was then taken out, Rat


really signed a striker in the transfer window. Cheltenham carried on their good form too, getting hammered by Bury before holding Portsmouth to a draw as they struggle towards the lower ends of the league. Probably my only visit to Upton Park before they move to the Olympic Stadium and while it was average on the field, off the field it is a great venue and one that will be missed in 2016 when the Hammers decamp.

The start of my season had so far featured only professional grounds and clubs so it needed to be brought back down to the proper gritty non-league stuff. Needing to stay local I decided to look around my new area of Middlesex for a game and there was nearby Rayners Lane ofthe Hellenic League playing at home. I’m not sure why a league for clubs mainly from Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire has a team in London Zone 5, but I was to find out.

Rayners Lane is a suburban district in the London Borough of Harrow in northwest London between Pinner and West Harrow. It built up during the Middle Ages as the Rayners Lane road was used when transporting grain to the mill on Pinner Green. During the first half of the nineteenth century the area was in the hands of the Rayner family, who owned a farm. The area was drastically built up again between 1929 and 1938 by Harrow's biggest interwar housebuilder T.F. Nash, who created a shopping parade on Alexandra Avenue. The area is most widely


known as the location of Rayners Lane tube station, first built in 1906, and most of the settlement is built around the tube station. The station links both the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines and therefore has good connections with the rest of London. The other principal point of architectural interest is the former cinema, an Art Deco building featuring a curved projection on the front somewhat resembling an elephant's trunk and is a listed building. It is currently being occupied by the Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe, and is used as a Zoroastrian centre - the only official temple of its type in the UK.

Rayners Lane FC have the fairly modern founding date of 1933 starting out in the Harrow, Wembley and District League. The Tithe Farm SocialClub was formed and the football club was absorbed into it where they have played ever since. Their early days saw some success as they picked up three league titles and three league cups as well as the Middlesex Junior Cup in 1943. They moved forward after the war into the Spartan League but found it a struggle and failed to gain re-election in 1970/71. This led them to the Hellenic League which they joined in 1978 and promotion to the Hellenic Premier in 1983 saw them play top flight football in that league until they hit some struggles in 1994/95. With strict standards they were forced to drop back to the Middlesex League before joining the Chiltonian League in 1997/98. When that merged with the Hellenic League,


the Lane found themselves in the new Division 1 East where they have normally finished in the top half of the table. Last season saw them win the division by 4 points, however due to failing ground grading rules the Lane were kept at this level while 5th place Bracknell Town went up instead.

For this season then, Rayners Lane are all change as a large chunk of their title winning squad and manager Dene Gardner left for “differing ambitions”. In has come new boss Mick Bradshaw and a whole host of new players as the Lane try to retain their title. They had made an ok start too after 3 games with winning 2 and losing one, to Maidenhead United Reserves. With the team and manager still learninglooking like the team who hadn’t lost every game they had played this season with some good early pressure against the Wokingham defence. A good counter-attacking opportunity came after just 5 minutes when Julian Smith and Jamel Mattan were both too fast for the away team but Mattan just stuck his shot wide. It was an open game as Rayners Lane did create a few more chances but entertainment was quite low as Wokingham were just trying to hang on in there. Richard John picked up a silly yellow card for kicking the ball away midway through the half but most of the good action came right at the end. Firstly a Paul Leslie free kick missed everyone and just went wide while Wokingham nearly got a nosebleed


worse for Rayners Lane too as just 6 minutes later they imploded from another corner. After playing a daft short corner, Lane lost the ball and Richard John had to lunge for the ball and caught the Wokingham player. When the ball broke down again, the referee went back and sent off the player to leave Lane right up against it. They even managed to fall asleep again at the back as Wokingham played some nice stuff on the left hand side before whipping a ball in which found Elliot Rushforth all alone to easily divert the ball past Caesar to gave the away side a scarcely believable 2-0 lead. You still thought though that Rayners Lane could still get something out of this and were awarded away back in the game on 80 minutes. A lucky break in the area saw the ball fall nicely for Mattan and while he fired the shot over the bar, Wokingham goalie Ashley Withers took him out and play was brought back. Even the home fans were laughing at the decision but Lane captain Callum McCarroll stepped up and slotted the penalty into the bottom corner. Expecting now a battering, Lane did step it up but didn’t really create many chances to trouble Withers. In fact as Lane pushed forward Wokingham hit them on the counter attack again as a player was barged over in the area and late in the 6 minutes of injury time Khalid Sensussi scored the penalty to give Wokingham the points.

For my first


New York Court Orders to Apply Rehabilitation Factor Retroactively To Cases

Amazingly, a prisoner at the Mid Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick represented himself (known as pro se) and successfully argued that the New York State Board of Parole failed to properly consider his rehabilitation before denying his parole.

The case, titled Matter of Thwaites v. New York State Board of Parole, could have far reaching effects. In his decision, Judge Lawence H. Ecker was particularly scornful of the Board's approach, "The court finds the Board's decision denying parole in this case to be arbitrary and capricious, irrational, and improper based upon the Parole Board's failure to articulate any rational, nonconclusory basis, other than its reliance on the seriousness of the crime."

The decision to deny the parole contained the standardplan and conspicuously avoided any mention of the crafting: “in the spring of 2013 when the “Gang of 8” amnesty bill snuck through the Senate“. Mickey uses a historical timeline, day-by-day story leads, showing how Fox was intentionally NOT COVERING the story (see here).

♦ However, even before Kaus discovered -and outlined- proof of what his research into Fox revealed there was a prior article written by Ryan Lizza in The New Yorker Magazine [June 2013] which was even more revealing:

So the GOP House Members were officially whipped on Monday June 9th. The results confirmed what John Boehner and Paul Ryan already knew – They had enough votes to pass it.

On Tuesday June 10th Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor (Majority Leader) and Kevin McCarthy (Majority Whip) had lunch together discussing timing the vote Thursday night or Friday Morning.

However, later that same night the results from the 2014 Virginia primary showed an unknown conservative outsider, Dave Brat, had defeated (primaried) Eric Cantor. At 7:00pm Tuesday night the first word went out that Cantor had lost.

Boehner, McCarthy and Cantor were STUNNED beyond belief.

The next day, Wednesday June 11th, the House of Representatives was also in a state of shock – Almost the entire reason for thethe default file formats for Office 2007. European standards body Ecma International ratified OOXML as a standard in December 2006. It then took on the task of submitting OOXML -- now also known as Ecma-376 -- to ISO this time last year on a fast track basis that gave participating ISO nations five months to evaluate the submission.

When OOXML's status was put to a vote in early September 2007, however, the specification fell short of enough votes to pass. From that point, Microsoft and Ecma had six months to win over nations that had voted against OOXML's approval or had abstained from voting altogether. The re-evaluation period ended Saturday, March 29, at midnight Central European Time.

In the final days before the cutoff date, four nations -- the


parties. Deep tensions between the two Islamist factions have already become apparent with reports of attacks by members of Gamaa Islamiyya on Brotherhood campaign workers in the southern province of Assiut, where there was a local run-off election as part of the first round of voting.

The animosity exists not because the Brotherhood is somehow actually more moderate, but rather because the Salafists are against the idea of forming coalitions and being pragmatic in trying to implement Sharia. For the Brotherhood, unlike the al-Nour coalition, believes that it is better to apply Islamic law in gradual stages. The rivalry will almost certainly become more evident in the next stages of voting that will take place in the more rural areas of Upper Egypt, where the popularity of Salafists couldwell outstrip support for the Brotherhood.

Yet the more urgent question arises of why the secularists and liberals have fared so poorly in these elections. After all, were they not dominant in the mass demonstrations in Tahrir Square back in January and February that culminated in the resignation of Hosni Mubarak? Did not numerous pundits speak of the "Twitter and Facebook" generation of secularists and liberals -- primarily youth activists -- that would supposedly prevent the Islamists from gaining ascendancy in the post-Mubarak political scene?

Before turning to recent developments for explanation, it is worth pointing out that the military regime that overthrew the constitutional monarchy in 1952 and has been ruling Egypt since has always had a love-hate relationship with the Islamists.

While Islamists were formally snubbed in the upper


the population at large. Indeed, as the intelligence group STRATFOR estimated, the protests in Tahrir Square probably never exceeded 300,000 people. Given that Egypt has a population of over 80 million, it would be absurd to extrapolate the liberal and secular sentiments of the protesters in those anti-Mubarak demonstrations to the people at large.

In the protests last month where the military attacked and killed numerous demonstrators, the Islamists' absence was again notable. Yet this observation easily links to an inherent problem with the performance of liberals and secularists in Egypt. The Islamists' decision not to attend the more recent demonstrations was a very clever move on their part.

The Islamists and the military realize that the continuing anarchy produced by these protests and clashes is only aggravating the disastroussituation for Egypt's economy, which was improving significantly under Mubarak's reforms in the ex-president's last few years in power.

As the Wall Street Journal notes, foreign exchange reserves at Egypt's central bank have halved to around $22 billion, while the projected deficit for the current fiscal year is thought to be around 9% of GDP, which "would not be sustainable even if Egypt's economy were growing at robust rates." The Brotherhood has some idea that a key problem here is the subsidy system, even as the group does not offer specific policy initiatives on the issue, but the liberals and secularists seem to be completely oblivious to the economic problems at hand.

a devise to "the lineal descendants, if any," of various beneficiaries including those of her adopted daughter, Virginia Wilkes. At the time of Virginia's death, she had only one lineal descendant, her son, Robert S. Wilkes. Subsequently, Robert S. Wilkes had two sons, both living, Robert L. Wilkes and Gerald Wilkes. The plaintiff herein is Margaret Wilkes, wife of Robert S. Wilkes and the stepmother of Robert L. and Gerald Wilkes. The trial court held that the sons of Robert S. Wilkes are lineal descendants of Virginia Wilkes and that Belle intended a gift to the class of "lineal descendants" which includes them. The court of civil appeals disagreed. It held that when Virginia, the mother of Robert S., died, an estate vested in Robert S. Wilkes; andShe had one son, Robert S. Wilkes. After the death of Virginia in 1960, Robert had two sons, Robert L. and Gerald. As stated, Margaret A. Wilkes, the plaintiff herein, was married to Robert S. Wilkes and is the stepmother of Robert L. and Gerald Wilkes.
*401 The controversy arose because Virginia's son, Robert S. Wilkes, left a will in which he attempted to name his wife a beneficiary of an interest in the corpus of the trust created by Belle Shumard's will and in the income of the trust. The wife of Robert S. Wilkes (Margaret), of course, is not a "lineal descendant" of Virginia Wilkes. If the gift under the will is to the class of "lineal descendants," then it was not within the power of Robert


His rights under the will depended upon his qualification as a "lineal descendant" of Virginia surviving at her death. He did so qualify and began receiving distributions of "net revenues." At the time, he was the only lineal descendant of Virginia; so he received the net revenues from her entire one-third. His right to receive that income would have continued so long as he occupied that status. It was not subject to division with any other person because his mother, Virginia, had made no different provision by will; and there were no other lineal descendants to share in any division.
Upon the birth of a son to Robert S., another legal descendant entered the picture, but that descendant's rights to a distribution of net revenues was subordinate to thatAs stated, she did not name Robert S. Wilkes and thus restrict the gift over in default of Virginia's appointment to him. Instead, she designated a class of "lineal descendants" into which Robert happened to fit at Virginia's death. He, therefore, received the income as long as he qualified for it.
But he was given no power to dispose of that income interest. He could only dispose of the payments as he received them. Before Virginia died, it could not be known that he himself would be the lineal descendant who would be entitled to her income interest and also be the only one. His contingency ripened into a "vested" interest *405 so long as he lived and continued to qualify. But that income interest would disappear if he


youngest grandson became 21. It then provided,
"If any of my said children should not survive me, and die leaving no child or children to survive him or her, then the share of such deceased child shall be divided equally among my surviving children; if a child or children survive the parent, the parent's share shall vest in my Trustees, hereinafter named." 67 A.2d at 784.
One of the children died without descendants but leaving a wife to whom he had delivered an inter vivos assignment of his share of the trust income. The trust, as here, was still in operation since the time for termination had not yet arrived. The court held,
"From a reading of the whole will we are of opinion that it was clearly the intent ofNew Jersey Supreme Court reached a result which we reach here and with similar reasoning. There, as here, one of the life tenants attempted to devise an interest in the income of a testamentary trust to his wife. The court concluded that,
"* * * the testatrix meant the gift for life after the life estate of her daughters to go to her grandchildren as a class flowing from either daughter, comprehensive of after-born grandchildren if there should prove to be such; the gift as to any grandchild to terminate necessarily at his death because the gift was merely of a life estate." 66 A.2d at 166.
The holding was that the devise to the wife was ineffective because it came from her husband "whose interest terminated at his death."
This


result also finds support in the Restatement of Property, where it says in Volume 3 at page 1588 and following:
"A limitation in favor of a class frequently directs the periodic distribution of income to such class. Limitations containing such a provision are of three distinct types.
"In one of these types, the limitation directs that the corpus be distributed at a future date to the described group and accompanies this direction by the further provision that the income earned prior to such distribution of the corpus shall be periodically distributed among the members of the described group available on each such day of income distribution. This first type of limitation presents no new problems as to `postponed gifts' arising out of the inclusion of the directions as to income.According to the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, NIGHTWISH's upcoming "Dark Passion Play" CD could very well turn out to be the most expensive album ever produced in Finland.

"The final cost of the album was around 500,000 euros [approximately $670,000]," stated band leader Tuomas Holopainen. "We didn't make any compromises that were money-related. Nothing was held back so there is nothing we could've done better."

All in all, "Dark Passion Play" ended up costing twice as much as the band's previous album, "Once".

The bulk of the budget went to the legendary Abbey Road studios in London where the band recorded the orchestral parts for "Dark Passion Play". Also no expense was spared in connection with the promotional videos which will be used to market the album. The group just returned from

(Thanks: Metal From Finland)A terrorist who attacked and killed people at random in Paris last night has been named as Khamzat Azimov, a migrant and Islamist radical from Chechnya.

The deadly knife attack which has been claimed by Islamic State through the Amaq News Agency, The Times reports.

Azimov was a French citizen born in the Muslim-majority Russian Federation republic of Chechnya in 1997, and according to French media was on a French intelligence agency watch list of potential jihadists and terrorists called “S file.”

He was shot dead by police after launching the assault on passers-by in central Paris, whilst shouting the Islamic war cry ‘Allahu Akbar’, which means ‘God is greater’ in Arabic.

Witnesses say he randomly lunged at people, attempting to cut their throats with a box cutter in la Rue de


Monsigny, a close to the Paris opera house.

Front National leader Marine Le Pen, who wants around 10,000 Islamist suspects on the intelligence agency watch list deported or jailed, commented: “What use is this watchlist if we don’t ensure that these timebombs cannot cause damage on French soil?”

Olivier Woodhead, 40, a man from the United Kingdom who owns a brasserie serving British food in the district, said he and his barman had seen the jihadist stab a passer-by outside the creperie opposite from the street.

“A police car then drew up and stopped. The man had gone further up the street but when he saw the police he turned round and came back towards them,” he told The Times.

“He looked crazed. He was shouting and his hands were covered inNo riches, no bread and circuses flow to Americans from Washington’s wars. So what is it all about?

The answer is that Washington’s empire extracts resources from the American people for the benefit of the few powerful interest groups that rule America … The US Constitution has been extracted in the interests of the Security State, and Americans’ incomes have been redirected to the pockets of the 1 percent. ...

In the New Empire success at war no longer matters. The extraction takes place by being at war. Huge sums of American taxpayers’ money have flowed into the American armaments industries and huge amounts of power into Homeland Security. The American empire works by stripping Americans of wealth and liberty.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a major aid package for Pakistan on Monday -- pledging hundreds of millions of dollars for projects to address the country's water and power shortage and its floundering economy.

Clinton made the announcement at the beginning of a day-long "strategic dialogue" in Islamabad on the second day of her visit to the South Asian country, after which she flew Monday to an international conference in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

Authorities there said they were investigating "a number of blasts," though CNN staffers located near the site of Tuesday's planned conference said they did not hear them. A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said the blasts likely were from unguided rockets that landed on the outskirtsof Kabul.

The projects in Pakistan, which Clinton called "long-term investment in Pakistan's future," include the construction of several dams, improvements to hydroelectric power plants and the country's power grid, and the construction or renovation of three medical facilities.

The United States will also invest $100 million to expand access to credit for small- and medium-sized businesses, and provide $50 million to support investments in innovation and technology projects, she said.

The projects will be funded by the Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act, which authorizes $7.5 billion in development aid to Pakistan over the next five years.

In the past year, the United States has started engaging more with Pakistan, said Vali Nasr, a senior adviser to Richard Holbrooke -- the U.S. special representative for the region.

The process included Clinton's visit to the nation last


Variability in middle childhood play behavior: effects of gender, age, and family background.
Parent-report questionnaires for the assessment of gender-normative and gender-atypical behavior in childhood offers researchers the opportunity to conduct large-scale screenings of community samples of boys and girls. One important aspect of childhood gender role behavior includes play. Although play behavior inventories have been used clinically for the identification of gender disturbed boys, recent community-based surveys of play behavior in both genders are lacking. The present postal questionnaire survey of parents of 688, 6- to 10-year-old children (boys = 333, girls = 355) attending one public school district (74% of the eligible sample), clarifies how subject's age, family race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status influence gender differences in play. Significant gender differences were detected for 63 of the 69games. With but few exceptions, the magnitude of the gender differences in play remained relatively constant across middle childhood. Older boys and girls decreased their participation in activities numerically dominated by girls whereas the reverse was true for male-dominated activities. Parents' educational level influenced play for only a minority of items. Finally, whereas race/ethnicity significantly predicted game/activity participation in approximately one half of the items, a consistent influence of this variable on gender-related play did not emerge. In spite of dramatic changes in women's roles in the U.S. society over the past three decades, gender differences in middle childhood play have remained strong.

INTRODUCTION

The Veteran served on active duty from June 1953 to March 1955.

This appeal is before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) from an October 2011 rating decision of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Columbia, South Carolina, which, in part, denied service connection for bilateral knee disabilities.

In May 2017, the Board denied the Veteran's service connection claimshaving a few minor criminals shot in order to send the message
that everyone needs to get their shit together and quit fighting among
themselves. You saw that kind of stuff a lot in the middle ages where some
lord might have a family cut down without due process because they had some
grievance and refused to pay tax/tribute. The Salem witch trials only made it
into the history books because the rest of the world had long since moved on
from that sort of thing.

Obviously that sort of stuff isn't compatible with modern values but that's
just how society (in the Boston area at least) worked back then.

How Discord Got So Big

By the most recent report, Discord had around 90 million users at the end of 2017. They have become a major player in the group communications field, especially within gaming and other special interests. But the company was not always so successful. For all of those who have wanted to know where Discord came from and how they got so big, you can find out here!

Before Discord

Discord wasn't the first stab at a successful business that current CEO Jason Citron had. His first notable business was Aurora Feint, the company behind OpenFeint. OpenFeint was a social platform for mobile gaming, and was named after a game developed by the company. The platform was first released in 2009, and at one point in 2010, therewere 900 applications in the App Store that used it. In 2011, Japanese company GREE, Inc. purchased the company, but soon OpenFeint was plagued by lawsuits. While the lawsuits were dismissed eventually, GREE discontinued the service and decided to use their own similar software.

With the $104 million made from the sale of OpenFeint, Jason Citron started Hammer & Chisel in 2012. This studio developed the game Fates Forever, which was intended to be the first big player in the mobile MOBA market. The game was a commercial failure, but a new idea emerged. The team had never had a great experience in VoIP communication through the usual tools include Skype and TeamSpeak.

With Rouhani at the helm, inflation rates have halved to less than 20 percent. With progress in talks regarding Iran’s controversial nuclear program, some sanctions by the West have been lifted.

But as oil prices continue to tumble, there is now the prospect of a deficit in Tehran, particularly as businesses are cut off from loans in the international banking system, as most of the sanctions still remain in place.

By seeking to hammer out a deal with the six world powers, Rouhani had hoped to breathe life into the Iranian economy by opening Iran up to foreign companies and partnership deals.

Due to Western sanctions, Iran’s oil exports have dropped from 2.5 million barrels a day in 2011 to aboutNote: Story contains vulgar language.

You've heard of push polling in which pollsters steer people to a desired opinion by asking loaded questions. The Ringer blog's Larry Wilmore has perfected the "push interview," and with Katie Couric as his guest this week, his attempts to push a fellow liberal to support for LeBron James and gun control while hanging a racist label on Laura Ingraham amounted to a cakewalk.

Host of the Black on the Air program, Wilmore dominated the interview with Couric. He cut her off a couple times and five of her comments got only one line on the blog page.

Their consensus is that Lebron James needs to answer to no one and he owes no apology for profaning the president. They also argued that Ingraham is intelligent

COURIC: "Right, as a role model!" WILMORE: "Yes, the people he looked up to. And as a kid, for him, it was president, sports figure, entertainer. For him, he was hoping those people would say the right things and be the people you look for. And he expressed the disappointment thattime.

Mr Bleijie announced today that the life sentence with a non-parole period of 20 years was "manifestly inadequate" for Daniel Morcombe's killer.

Cowan was last Friday sentenced by Justice Roslyn Atkinson for the abduction and murder of the 13-year-old in 2003.

A gap is provided between the distal ends of the pin-shaped fins and the bottom wall of the casing.
However, in the case of the liquid-cooled-type cooling device disclosed in the publication, since the pin-shaped fins of the radiating member are integrally formed on the substrate through forging, their dimensional accuracy in the height direction is insufficient. Therefore, the pin-shaped fins cannot be made uniform in height. Also, since the height of the pin-shaped fins is affected by the thickness of the substrate before formation
