which support part is clamped against the
axle body by means of clamping means, and wherein the trailing arm is
provided at the front of the contact region with two holes (120, 121)
through which the clamping means extend, wherein the trailing arm, at the
rear of the contact region, is provided with a single hole (122) through
which a clamping means, preferably the shank of a bolt, extends.

14. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 13, wherein the trailing
arm (110) is a spring trailing arm.

15. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 13, wherein the trailing
arm (110) is wider at the front of the contact region than at the rear of
the contact region.

16. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 14, wherein the spring
portion of the spring trailing arm (110) is narrowerthan at least the
front of the contact region.

17. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 13, wherein the portion
which forms the contact region (112) has a substantially triangular shape
when viewed from the top.

18. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 13, wherein the clamping
means are three bolts, the bolt shanks of which extend through the holes,
and with the bolt shank at the rear of the contact region having a larger
diameter than the bolt shanks at the front of the contact region.

19. The wheel axle suspension according to claim 13, wherein that portion
of the trailing arm which constitutes the axle clamping has a central rib
(124) on the side which is turned away from the axle body which extends
from the front of the contact region, between the two holes at


in which case
the resilient bush absorbs relative movements of the wheel axle
suspension. In the case of wheel axle suspensions which use spring
trailing arms, the majority of the relative movements are absorbed by the
deformation of a spring portion of the trailing arm itself. In this case,
the spring trailing arm is often produced in the form of a monolithic and
solid part from a suitable steel grade, in particular spring steel. The
spring portion is situated between the area where the wheel axle is
connected to the trailing arm and the front end of the trailing arm,
where the arm is hingedly attached to a bearing bracket. The different
operational principles of the trailing arms result in different
requirements imposed on the trailing arms. Spring trailing arms are
designed to be able to cope with relatively largeon the side
which is turned away from the axle body which extends from the front of
the portion which forms the contact region, between the two holes at said
front, in the direction towards the single hole at the rear, a depression
being provided on either side of this central rib wherein, in each case,
one of the holes at the front is situated, with a further rib preferably
being present along each side edge of the respective portion which
delimits the depression on that side.

[0033] Preferably, the trailing arm is at least partially produced by
forging. Preferably, at least the portion which forms the contact region
is produced by forging. As will be explained below, the entire trailing
arm is preferably produced by forging, with a securing eye at the front
of the trailing arm being brought


a different orientation and
subsequently twisting the trailing arm, preferably in a defined region,
which preferably has a round cross section, in order to reach the final
orientation of the securing eye, the manufacturing process can be
optimized.

[0073] Preferably, the trailing arm is, at least partially, produced by
forging.

[0074] In one embodiment, the trailing arm is formed from a semi-finished
product, the width being greater than the thickness of the semi-finished
product. The securing eye is then, possibly in one blow, formed using a
forging hammer in a pre-forming position of the eye, with the axis of the
hole in the eye at that point in time still being in the thickness
direction, that is to say at right angles to the width of the trailing
arm, in particular when the spring trailing arm has a spring portion
which hascontact

of hole 122, and depression 126 extending from hole 121 in the direction
of hole 122.

[0150] As can be seen, that portion of the trailing arm which forms the
axle clamping has, on that side which is turned away from the axle body,
a central rib 124 which extends from the front of the contact region,
between the two holes 120, 121 on said front, in the direction of the
single hole 122 at the rear of the contact region. On either side of this
central rib 124, there are depressions 125, 126, wherein in each case one
of the holes at the front is provided.

[0151] As is preferred, a further rib 124a, 124b is provided along each
side edge of the respective portion and


Stressing on the human femoro-patellar joint. I. Components of a vertical and horizontal tensile bracing system.
Horizontal and vertical tensions act on the femoropatellar joint. In both knee joints of 60 human corpses the muscles and ligaments participating in the tensile bracing of the knee joint were studied macroscopically. While the structures acting in the vertical direction are very constant, the components participating in horizontal tensile bracing show large variations. Components of vertical tensile bracing are the quadriceps femoris muscle, the ligamentum patellae as well as the vertical patellar retinacula. The active part of horizontal tensile bracing consists of the medial and lateral vastus muscles. The passive components of this system are arranged in three layers. The superficial layer is formed by the fascia lata. The middle layer consistsof the horizontal retinacula. A medial horizontal retinaculum was present in one third of our cases. It passes from the medial margin of the patella towards the medial femoral epicondyle. A lateral horizontal retinaculum is demonstrable in all cases studied. It passes horizontally from the lateral margin of the patella and inserts into the deep layer of the iliotibial tract. Insertion of the lateral horizontal retinaculum into the lateral femoral epicondyle was not observed in our material. The third layer is formed by ligaments supporting the joint capsule. These originate from the medial and lateral margin of the patella and pass towards their respective meniscus as well as variably towards the femoral or tibial condyle. These structures are found both medially and laterally in two thirds of the

Civil rights and feminist organizations opposed the appointment based partially on Thomas's criticism of affirmative action and suspicions that Thomas might not be a supporter of Roe v. Wade.

Thomas's formal confirmation hearings began on September 10, 1991. Thomas was reticent when answering Senators' questions during the appointment process, recalling what had happened to Robert Bork when Bork expounded on his judicial philosophy during his confirmation hearings four years prior. Thomas's earlier writings had frequently referenced the legal theory of natural law; during his confirmation hearings Thomas limited himself to the statement that he regards natural law as a "philosophical background" to the Constitution.

In the 2009 Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder case, Thomas was the sole dissenter, voting in favor of throwing out Section Five of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Section Five requires states with a history of racial voter discrimination—mostly states from the old South—to get Justice Department clearance when revising election procedures. Although Congress had reauthorized Section Five in 2006 for another 25 years, Thomas said the law was no longer necessary, pointing out that the rate of black voting in seven Section Five states was higher than the national average. Thomas said "the violence, intimidation and subterfuge that led Congressthat jurisprudence in rejecting the challenge. Thomas added that the court was not deciding the question of whether Congress had the power to outlaw partial-birth abortions: "[W]hether the Act constitutes a permissible exercise of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause is not before the Court [in this case] ... the parties did not raise or brief that issue; it is outside the question presented; and the lower courts did not address it."

In December 2018, Thomas wrote a dissent when the Supreme Court voted against hearing cases brought by the states of Louisiana and Kansas to deny Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.

When Miguel Díaz-Canel was elevated to the presidency of Cuba's Council of State last week, a group of more diverse politicians — many not born or who were children at the time of the 1959 Cuban Revolution — joined him in high-level positions on the council.

Díaz-Canel's selection as Cuba's new president was the beginning of a generational shift in power as Cuba starts to address the inevitable march of time and the thinning ranks of "historicos" who fought in the revolution.


United States of America
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States
The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written on September 14, 1814,
by 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key
after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy
in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812.
Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes
known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the United States Navy in 1889,
and by U.S. president Woodrow Wilson in 1916,
and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931
Brazil
The melody of the Brazilian nationalanthem was composed by Francisco Manuel da Silva,
and was presented to the public for the first time in April 1831.
On 7 April 1831, the first Brazilian Emperor, Pedro I, abdicated the Crown and days later left for Europe,
leaving behind the then-five-year-old Emperor Pedro II.
From the proclamation of the independence of Brazil in 1822 until the 1831 abdication,
an anthem that had been composed by Pedro I himself, celebrating the country's independence
and that now continues to be an official patriotic song, the Independence Anthem
was used as the national anthem.
In the immediate aftermath of the abdication of Pedro I, the anthem composed by him fell in popularity.
United Kingdom
"God Save the Queen" is the national anthem of the United Kingdom
and one of two national anthems used by New Zealand since 1977
as well


as for several of the UK's territories that have their own additional local anthem
It is also the royal anthem – played specifically in the presence of the monarch
of all the aforementioned countries,
as well as Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980), Barbados and Tuvalu.
Saudi Arabia
In 1947, because Saudi Arabia did not have a national anthem like many states did,
King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia visited Egypt and asked Egyptian composer Abdul-Raḥman al-Khaṭīb
to create a national anthem, and thus "Āsh al-Malīk" was created.
The melody is based on an Arab fanfare style,
and is similar to the national anthems of other Arab states in the area at the time.
In 1958, Mohammed Talat wrote the first set of lyrics which were not often heard,
so King Fahd asked poet Ibrāhīm Khafājī in 1984 to comeup with a new set of lyrics,
which were completed within six months on 29 June 1984
Khafājī's lyrics are the ones that are used officially today
Saudis listened to their anthem for the first time during the celebrations of Eid in 1984.
Israel
The Hope") is a 19th-century Jewish poem and the national anthem of Israel
The theme of the romantic composition reflects the Jews' 2,000-year-old
hope of returning to the Land of Israel, restoring it, and reclaiming it as a free and sovereign nation
Its lyrics are adapted from a poem by Naftali Herz Imber,
a Jewish poet from Złoczów (today Zolochiv, Ukraine),
which was then in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria under Austrian rule.
Imber wrote the first version of the poem in 1877, while he was a guest of a Jewish scholar in Iași,


Romania.
Pakistan
The Qaumī Tarānā ("Thy Sacred Land"), is the national anthem of Pakistan
It is written by Hafeez Jalandhari in 1952
and the music was produced by Ahmad G. Chagla in 1949,
Although, this song is in Urdu,
the anthem has heavy Persian influence, and only uses one exclusively Urdu word ka
It was officially adopted as Pakistan's national anthem in August 1954
and was recorded in the same year by eleven major singers of Pakistan including
Ahmad Rushdi, Kaukab Jahan, Rasheeda Begum, Najam Ara, Naseema Shaheen,
Zawar Hussain, Akhtar Abbas, Ghulam Dastagir, Anwar Zaheer, and Akhtar Wasi Ali.
Bangladesh
("Amar Sonar Bangla") is the national anthem of Bangladesh.
The lyrics was written by Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore in 1905
while the melody of the hymn was adopted from the Baul singer Gagan Harkara's song
"Ami Kothay Pabo Tare"  set toDadra Tala.
The modern instrumental rendition was arranged by Samar Das.
Nepal
It was officially adopted as the anthem on August 3, 2007,
and a ceremony held at the conference hall of National Planning Commission,
inside the Singha Durbar,
by the speaker of the interim parliament, Mr. Subash Chandra Nemwang
The previous Nepalese national anthem, "Shreeman Gambhir", had been adopted in 1962,
but it was dropped following the abolishment of the monarchy.
The music was composed by late Amber Gurung.
The national anthem is simply worded, praising Nepali sovereignty, unity, courage, pride, scenic beauty,
progress, peace, cultural and biological diversity, and respect.
In August 2016, BBC ranked Nepal's national anthem third in its list of Rio 2016:
The most amazing national anthems, citing its musical differences compared to other anthems.
India
Jana Gana Mana is the national anthem of India.
It was originally composed


as Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata in Bengali by poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Later, it was written in sadhu Bengali or tatsama Bengali which is heavily sanskiritised.
The first stanza of the song Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India
as the National Anthem on 24 January 1950.
A formal rendition of the national anthem takes approximately 52 seconds.
A shortened version consisting of the first and last lines (and taking about 20 seconds to play)
is also staged occasionally.
It was first publicly sung on 27 December 1911 at the Calcutta
now (Kolkata) Session of the Indian National Congress.
Russia
The "State Anthem of the Russian Federation" is the name of the official national anthem of Russia.
It uses the same melody as the "State Anthem of the Soviet Union",
composed by Alexander Alexandrov,
and new lyrics by SergeyMikhalkov,
who had collaborated with Gabriel El-Registan on the original anthem.
From 1944, that earliest version replaced " Интернационал", as a new, more Soviet-centric,
and Russia-centric Soviet anthem.
The same melody, but without lyrics mentioning the denounced Stalin by name,
was used after 1956
A second version of the lyrics was written by Mikhalkov in 1970
and adopted in 1977, placing less emphasis on World War II
and more on the victory of communism.

Previously, Californians could tote handguns any way they wished, in holsters or in their hands, as long as they were unloaded. Violation of the new law is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison.

California is the fifth state, including Florida and Texas, to outlaw openly carrying pistols. The District of Columbia also forbids it. Thirty-three states allow unrestricted open carry, and 12 require permits.

Gun advocates say the California law is doomed whenever a lawsuit gets filed - and they say one will be - because two federal court rulings in the past year asserted the legality of open-carry rights. The rulings upheld rejections of several individual concealed-weapons-permit applications in San Diego and Yolo counties, saying the old open-carry law negated the need to pack aone of the best characters on the show, and her transition from battered spouse to grieving mother to capable hand to hardened warrior has been one of the strongest elements of The Walking Dead in its six-season run. But the next step in that evolution — Carol wondering if the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction (with seeds originally planted in “JSS”) is a powerful one that continues the character’s tradition of having one of the show’s most interesting arcs.

The episode’s examination of these ideas is not limited to Carol. It’s much less subtle, but the same themes are at play in the conversations between The Wolf and Denise, and the intercut scenes with Glenn and Enid, and many smaller moments with Morgan, Eugene, Rosita,


defeat was crushing, but the Democratic Party overreacted to it. McGovern did not lose because he was too far left (political scientists keep telling the spectrum is real, but ask the average voter and they’ll look puzzled), he lost because he was not a good national candidate, ran a bad campaign, and was facing the best and most shrewd politician of his generation in Nixon. Did you see the GOP overreact and moderate themselves in the long run after Barry Goldwater was crushed in ’64? No. They stuck to their principles and in the long run were rewarded for it).

Carter bailing on labor, Clinton bailing on labor. (Both post-New Deal-era Democratic Presidents hailed from the south, which was never a strong base for organized labor, but that doesn’tnext generation). At the end of the day, Bill Clinton (both his direct influence and mindset) deserves a lot of blame for some incredibly short-term thinking that may have benefited his popularity personally and politically at the time, but in the long run ruined the Democratic Party. There may be a lot of ink spent on how many seats were lost during the Obama years, but the damage was already done, and former President Barack Obama mostly inherited a Clintonian Democratic Party that was built around Bill and built around Hillary taking over the White House in a Clinton restoration in 2008…or 2016…or 2020?

Doubling-down on the Corporate Alliance (Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Auto, Big Tech, Big Everything, against the Little People) In the late 70s the Democratic


Party began openly courting corporate sources for campaign funding. One of the key issues that gave Obama momentum during the ’08 primary was refusing Super-PAC money early on. The party itself ended its ban on corporate lobbyist and Super-PAC money late in the Obama years, in anticipation of President HRC.

Failing to Cultivate the Young Talent and Build the Farm from the Obama years. Ultimately, it was the ground effort and labor of the millennial generation that put Obama over the top in Iowa in 2008 and then in the general election. The Democratic Party has failed to cultivate its young leaders, paying only lip service to this. “Lip service” is a continuing theme with the Democratic Party of the 21st century. Whether it is about the problems facingare accomplished. What goals? Read below:

We’ve already covered nearly every neighborhood in the Borough of Manhattan, and have been pretty decent progress in the Bronx and Brooklyn as well. In the years to come, we’ll be covering the rest of Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, as well as venturing past CitiField (where the New York Mets, my National League loyalties lie there) in Queens and getting out to Staten Island.

One of the most fascinating aspects to the 2016 Presidential campaign thus far is the shakeup in the traditional breakdown of Presidential campaign politics.

Historically, Presidential runs have fallen into three types of campaigns: the “challenger” campaign, the “incumbent” campaign, and the “successor” campaign. The differencesare fairly self explanatory.

Challengers are from the political party that has not held the White House the last four years. Recent examples of this would be Barack Obama in 2008, Mitt Romney in 2012, or any Republican candidate for President this year.

Incumbents are one-term Presidents running for re-election. Recent examples of this would be Barack Obama in 2012 and George W. Bush in 2004.

Successors are candidates from the same political party as the President exiting the White House (or theoretically, stepping down after one full term for various reasons like LBJ did in 1968) and are running to try and keep their party in the White House. Recent examples of this are Al Gore in 2000, John McCain in 2008, and now Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Each type of


President, but overall the office has come a long way from 1945 when Harry Truman came into office after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

When Truman assumed the office, he had met Roosevelt in person only a few times. The new President had not been briefed at all on the post-War situation or the upcoming Potsdam conference. Perhaps most galling was the fact that he was completely unaware of the Manhattan Project and the looming atomic age. Through no fault of his own, Truman arguably inherited the worst possible situation in American history in terms of how prepared he was to take over the highest office in the land. Thankfully Presidential transitions, whether within the same party or the other major party, have improved a great deal since.

**********

Inthe 2016 Republican Primary, every candidate can credibly lay claim to the mantle of “challenger” candidate, except perhaps Jeb Bush, who (like Hillary Clinton) has characteristics of both incumbency and successor, which have hampered both of their campaigns from the start. In 2008, Clinton’s status as a former First Lady and a Senator who voted in favor of the Iraq War hindered her ability to position herself as a “challenger” candidate. In a “change” campaign, she looked more and more like a deposed Monarch, seeking to return to the throne. Jeb Bush has fared far worse on the Republican side in 2016. While Hillary has learned from several of her 2008 mistakes, while proving to be quite agile and resilient in 2016, she has not learned from all


Vice President Joe Biden, who was torn between his private anguish and grief, and his sense of public duty. To me, Biden represented the most sure-fire candidate in 2016 because he had the support and record as VP to earn at least a term as President. A Biden presidency would have allowed the party a four year window to rebuild and create a deeper bench at every level all the way up to potential 2020 Presidential candidates. Instead, Democrats are left with a hotly contested primary and an extremely shallow pool of future candidates.

Understandably, Biden chose not to run in 2016. While I predicted at the end of the year that Hillary Clinton would win narrowly in the fall, I also explained this would weaken the future ofand Lessons of Barack Obama’s Historic Victory.New York: Viking-Penguin, 2009. Print.

I suspect that President Rubio’s third round of tax cuts will be as popular as his first two. Who would’ve thought that voters would tolerate combined giveaways of seventeen trillion dollars over four years? And the Iran War? I mean, damn, fifteen trillion over ten years? Again, that seemed unthinkable after what should have been public relations catastrophes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But I suppose when we relied on such roundly unpopular candidates like Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo to oppose Republican policies,

I’m not ashamed to admit that 18 year old me was also intrigued by the thought of how a skinnier George Constanza became the liberal voice in the United States Senate.

Senator Wellstone was the only Senator with a tight reelection looming to vote against the Iraq Resolution. Many notable Democratic Senators (Clinton, Biden, Kerry, Reid, Schumer, Harkin, and Edwards to name a few of the 29 Democrats) voted for and sent our troops into the quagmire that was, became, and is Iraq.

Winkle fanatics aren't.

Let's also acknowledge that there are people who have long enjoyed the whiskeys selected and bottled (but not made) by the Van Winkle family. Most of them aren't interested in all the commotion about Van Winkle, and with only a slight twinge of regret are happy to drink something else. That's because they know their way around bourbon and know that the Van Winkle whiskeys, while very good, are not sine qua non.

Here's the history. Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle used to own Louisville's Stitzel-Weller Distillery, makers of Old Fitzgerald and other bourbons. After his death, his heirs couldn't agree on the company's direction, which forced a sale. Pappy's son, JPVW Junior, started a new company using the only brand the family retained in the sale,Old Rip Van Winkle. His son, Julian (JPVW III), continues that business to this day. Assisted by his son and in partnership with the Buffalo Trace Distillery, he sells bourbons at 10, 12, 15, 20, and 23-years-old, and a 13-year-old rye, under various iterations of the Van Winkle brand.

Van Winkle primarily sells bourbon made with wheat instead of rye. That's a minority approach, but not unique. Most of the Van Winkle whiskey is made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, which also makes the W. L. Weller line of wheated bourbons, a former Stitzel-Weller brand.

Van Winkle has always been a very small brand. It was pricey and its extra-aged products were not to everyone's liking. Still, it always had a good reputation among enthusiasts. Then, a few

All thanks to Sonny Bono and Mickey Mouse. The death of Public Domain rights came about when Disney realized Mickey soon would enter into P.D., all shrilly spearheaded by Congressman Sonny Bono.

EPILOGUE: Bono later died when he skiied right smack into a tree.

Actually it was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon SteamBoat Willie that was close to entering public domain, not the Mickey Mouse character. The Mickey Mouse character is a trademark and will never enter public domain as long as Disney exist.

True, but Disney probably fears how the "beloved" mouse's image in Steamboat Willie or any others that entered PD could be used by non-Disney entities.


Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance

The Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA) is a regional partnership of conservation organisations, including the national parks on the six islands of the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten) and is intended to support and strengthen the nature on the islands.

The purpose of DCNA is to protect the extensive biological resources and promote sustainable development of the natural resources of these islands, both on land and at sea. To do so, DCNA is developing sustainable funding sources such as a trust fund, building capacity through training workshops and promoting the overwhelmingly beautiful and unique nature, ranging from exuberant rainforest to coral reefs and pearl white sand dunes.

The extensive biological resources are the basis of one of the main sources ofby supporting and assisting the protected area management organisations and nature conservation activities in the Dutch Caribbean".

DCNA is funded by the Dutch National Postcode Lottery and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Queen Beatrix is one of DCNA's patrons.

A Montana judge ordered on Wednesday that the mugshot of Greg Gianforte, the recently-inaugurated Congressman who assaulted a reporter the night before his election, be released to the public.

The mugshot was taken in August when Gianforte was booked on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from his attack on Guardian journalist Ben Jacobs in May.

Gianforte, then a Republican candidate in the special election for Montana's at-large House seat, body-slammed Jacobs at his campaign headquarters in Bozeman.

The mugshot can be seen below:

Gianforte initially denied the attack, but was discredited after The Guardian released Jacobs' audio recording of the incident. A Fox News reporter who witnessed the attack wrote that Gianforte "grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground."

News of the altercation sent shockwaves throughoutthe state, and three newspapers rescinded their endorsements of Gianforte that night. Nevertheless, Gianforte handily defeated Democrat Rob Quist the following day to take the congressional seat.

Gianforte pleaded guilty to the assault charge in June and was sentenced to a 180-day deferred sentence, 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management, and a $300 fine. As part of his settlement with Jacobs, Gianforte also donated $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The release of the mugshot comes after a lengthy legal battle in which a Gallatin County attorney argued the photo could not be released without a court order. Several Montana newspapers then filed requests for the mugshot to be made public, a move that Gianforte's attorney did not contest, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

sharing of knowledge relates to accelerating His pouring out eternal truth on the heads and into the hearts of His people. He has made clear that the daughters of Heavenly Father will play a primary role in that miraculous acceleration. One evidence of the miracle is His leading His living prophet to put far greater emphasis on gospel instruction in the home and within the family.

You might ask, “How does that make faithful sisters a primary force to help the Lord pour out knowledge on His Saints?” The Lord gives the answer in “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” You remember the words, but you may see new meaning and recognize that the Lord foresaw these exciting changes, which are now occurring.

Historic Appalachian Trail shelter gets a lift

The Nantahala Hiking Club recently renovated an 80-year-old Appalachian Trail shelter about a mile north of Burningtown Gap in Macon County.

The club spent more than 500 man-hours working on the shelter that was originally built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. In total, the work lasted three months and cost the club $1,200 in materials.

The shelter had been slowly rotting into the ground, before the hiking club jacked the shelter up, replaced the bottom row of chestnut logs and the wooden floor, installed five concrete foundation piers and revamped the structure’s walls.

In order for the work to be completed, parts of the shelter had to be raised three feet off the ground. The shelter reconstruction project was quite different from the

People have lost so much during these devastating wine country wildfires, but Kasey Girard of Windsor hopes that one family can get something back: A film strip showing two young children playing in a green plastic pool on a lawn, a young boy in a striped shirt and a buck-naked girl wearing a sun cap.

The 31-year-old mother of three - with her fourth on the way - found the negatives (yes, negatives) with a slightly burned hole in the right corner on Friday about 10:45 a.m. near her parent's Santa Rosa home at Wright Street and 14th Avenue. She was shocked. Not only hadn't she seen negatives in "forever," but the moment she saw the photos, she said her "heart sank."

"The first thing Ithought is, 'Oh my God,'" she said Monday. "This is probably from a photo album and could potentially be the only thing this family has left.'"

She shared the photo on her Facebook page, but is hoping that more people will look at the children and figure out who their loved ones are who lost the film strip.

Girard herself knows she would want the photos back. She is at home caring for Parker, 13, Mason, 11 and Mateo, 20 months and waiting for baby Marcos, to arrive. As she was talking to KTVU on Monday, she was 2 centimeters dilated.

As for her husband, Nate Girard, well, let's just say he's busy, too. He's a Berkeley firefighter on the front lines.

And he was supposed to be dispatched on the Berkeley


engine sent up to help fight the Tubbs Fire on Oct. 9, where one firefighter captured dramatic video of the blaze in its early fury.

But she begged him not to. She needed him close in case the baby came.

Now, she'd just really like to connect the family with the lost photos. "Who knows?" she asked. "This might be the only picture they have."

If know who the photo belongs to, please message Girard through messenger on Facebook.Rising Petrol Prices: OPEC's Negative Demand Outlook Not Helping

Sep 25, 2018 05:53 PM IST India India Share

Retail prices of fuel in India crossed a life-time high of Rs 90 a litre in Maharashtra on Monday. Coupled with this, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) latest demand outlook is going to further raise problems for the country.

India imports close to 80 percent of its oil needs, most of which is via OPEC. An intergovernmental organization of 15 nations, the producer’s group is witnessing flat demand due to the US ramping up its tight oil production and countries opting for the latter. Watch the video to find out how the OPEC and United States affect India's petrol prices.

A surfer has been injured while being towed onto a massive wave off the Margaret River coast.

Gold Coast man Justin Holland was surfing at the Cow Bombie break, off Cowaramup Bay, this morning in a huge swell when he was overrun by the wave.

The 35-year-old and his friend, Gold Coast big wave surfer Jamie Mitchell, were making a documentary at the time.

Mitchell said he had already towed Holland onto three or four medium-sized waves.

"Then a really big one came through, probably the biggest one all day," he said.

"And he was a little bit too far behind the peak and straightened out and the wave literally broke right on the tail of his board and just really detonated him really hard.

"He had to take one more on the headand then I went in and grabbed him and he was screaming his leg, his leg."

Sorry, this video has expired A man is injured surfing a big wave off the coast near Margaret River ( Audience submitted )

Mitchell pulled him onto the jet ski's rescue sled and immobilised his leg.

The pair had hired another jet ski driver Keighley Bremner, who also came to the rescue.

"I came in on a ski in front of him and then we just carried him up," Mr Bremner said.

They took Holland back to shore at North Point, inside Cowaramup Bay, where an ambulance took him to Margaret River Hospital.

Mitchell said it looked like the father of two had snapped his femur and would be moved to Bunbury Hospital for surgery.

"It's going to be


a long recovery, but he's a strong guy so he'll be fine," he said.

Big wave surfers search out perfect break

Sorry, this video has expired Surf swells in Western Australia ( Roxanne Taylor )

The surf has been huge in the Margaret River area since Friday, when a big swell generated by a low pressure system in the Indian Ocean a week ago hit the coast.

Big wave hunters from around the country have flown into the region and have been taking on five-metre waves at the Cow Bombie break and other big wave spots.

The swell dropped just below five metres today, although there are reports the waves are still as big as yesterday and in some cases, bigger.

The swell is expected to ease significantly tomorrow.We met Leslie and Craig through our friend and colleague, DJ Martin. The wedding reception was on March 31, 2017 at the beautiful castle-like venue, the Skylands Manor in Ringwood. MC Steve helped organize and program the reception. Leslie and Craig were easy to work with and made it fun to exceed their expectations. A string duo provided the live music for cocktail and we provided the MC, DJ, Lighting, Photo Booth, Dancing on Clouds, Up-Lighting, LED Party Bot, and a CO2 Blast for the Reception. MC Steve also interacted with their friends and family throughout the dance floor while the DJ Martin kept the party music going. It was a non-stop party from beginning to end.

Ribery put in a rebound to double Bayern's advantage. And 2-0 the score stayed as Bayern were content to while away the remainder of the match.

"It took us a while to get into the game. But we improved in the second half and deserved the victory," Munich left back David Alaba said after the match.

Leverkusen too strong for Wolves

Leverkusen won a tough one against Wolfsburg

Bayer Leverkusen were trying to rebound from a loss in round 4 and re-establish themselves in the top three. And they got off to a hot start, when Sidney Sam caught visitors Wolfsburg out on the break and threaded the needle in minute 24.

But the Wolves hung tough and were rewarded after the half-hour mark. Ivia Olic volleyed home a precision cross by Ricardowhile Wolfsburg's poor away form continues to haunt them.

Bremen flail versus Frankfurt

Di Santo shot Bremen in the foot

In Bremen, visitors Frankfurt took the lead just before the quarter of an hour mark. Vaclav Kadlec poked home after a nice display of passing - it was the Czech striker's second goal for the Eagles.

And halfway through the first half, the hosts were down to ten men, after a foul by Franco di Santo for which the phrase "studs up" was an understatement. Frankfurt were able to pass the ball around at will, and Kadlec doubled their lead before half-time.

"We didn't play like a home side should,"sighed Bremen coach Robin Dutt after the match. "It's unacceptable."

There was a glimmer of hope for the short-handed hosts in the second half, when


Aaron Hunt drew a foul in the box, but he shot the resultant penalty straight at Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp. Adding insult to injury, Sebastian Prödl scored an own-goal of the what-was-he-thinking variety with ten minutes left.

In Mainz, Kevin-Prince Boateng put visitors Schalke ahead in the first half with a fine curling shot after picking off an errant pass by Shinji Okazaki. Mainz pressed for an equalizer but came up short, handing the Royal Blues a 1-0 away win.

There were no goals in the first half of Augsburg's match against Freiburg. But Freiburg substitute Admir Mehmedi caught the Acorn Boys out on the break immediately after the restart. Augsburg recovered with a goal by Halil Altintop just after the hour mark.

Tobias Werner landed the lucky punch in injurytime to secure a 2-1 for Augsburg. They've won three straight games in the top flight for the first time in their history. Meanwhile, Freiburg are still searching for their first season victory.

On Friday, Stuttgart got a very fortunate 1-0 win over a wasteful Hertha Berlin. Sunday sees Hoffenheim take on Mönchengladbach, while Braunschweig and Nuremberg both seek their first season wins in the late match.


Chauvet lights Orange Bowl halftime show

The halftime show of the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl (photo: ACT Productions)

10 January 2013

USA - Chauvet Professional took on the stage during the exuberant halftime show of the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl, organised at Sun Life Stadium and broadcasted by ESPN. Nexus 4x4 eye-candy wash lights accompanied country singer Jake Owen, who entertained the large audience as the halftime headliner.

For the halftime show, the Chauvet team operated the wash lights through Kling-Net control on the ArKaos Mediamaster software. The cues were triggered via DMX from the grandMA lighting console, using the Enttec DMX USB PRO hardware/software interface.

"We are thrilled that lighting designer Randy Taylor decided to use the Nexus 4x4 lights at the Orange Bowl halftime show, after seeing it in action atspecially hung presentation with portraits by Van Gogh and by modern artists like Kees van Dongen and Jan Sluijters.

Museum director Axel Rüger and curator Maite van Dijk next to Edvard Munch’s portrait of Felix Auerbach (1906). The portrait is the latest purchase for the Van Gogh Museum’s collection and will be exhibited in a special new display of paintings.

Felix Auerbach

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) was commissioned to paint the portrait by the sitter, the German physicist Felix Auerbach (1856–1933), who was a professor at the time at Jena University. Auerbach belonged to the cultural elite and, together with his wife Anna, had a strong interest in art. The couple visited the Nietzsche archives in 1905, where they saw the portrait of the philosopher on which Munch was working. They were


deeply impressed and invited the painter to Jena shortly afterwards. Munch painted Auerbach’s portrait in February 1906 for the sum of 500 marks.

The portrait is highly characteristic of Edvard Munch’s oeuvre and also typical of this work in the period in question. The painting of Felix Auerbach is viewed as one of his finest portraits from the first decade of the 20th century. Munch presents the physicist with considerable bravura and conviction as an assertive man of the world, who gazes self-assuredly at the viewer.

Munch and Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch are often mentioned in the same breath, even though the two artists probably never met. Munch was a deep admirer of Van Gogh, whose work he discovered around 1890. Like his Dutch counterpart, he wascommitted to the modernization of art. Both men developed an expressive and colourful visual language to express the universal emotions of human existence, with Munch experimenting in unconventional ways with his materials and technique. The exhibition Munch: Van Gogh was held at the Van Gogh Museum in 2015, in which the parallels between the two artists were clear for all to see.

The affinities between the two painters are powerfully and persuasively apparent in their portraits in particular. The expressive use of colour, for instance, is clearly visible in Felix Auerbach. Munch chose to present the sitter against an undefinable orange-red background – an approach of which Van Gogh too frequently made use.
The many artistic and personal similarities between Van Gogh and Munch make the portrait of Felix Auerbach


5 Success Principles We Can Learn From Floyd Mayweather

Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather had to overcome many obstacles to earn the right to where he is today, an undefeated world champion in Boxing; from witnessing his dad supplying drugs to his mother, clearly robbed at the 96 Olympics to having numerous criminal convictions.

Floyd: “Hardwork!” Entourage: “Dedication!”

From his artistic jump rope routine, sharp punches on the speed bag to his renowned mitt work with his Uncle Roger. Floyd Mayweather is arguably one of the best athlete’s in the world.

Love him or loathe him, the numbers don’t lie. According to Forbes Magazine, Floyd topped ‘The World’s Top 20Highest-Paid Athletes’in 2014, beating the likes of Christiano Ronaldo (Spanish Football), Lebron James (Basketball), Roger Federer (Tennis), without the advantagegym, before tearing down the heavy bag with over 10,000 punches the following day.

‘Do you think I gave up my whole life just to say there’s someone better than me out there? Absolutely not.’ – Floyd Mayweather

2. Self Resilience

Mayweather picked up a bronze medal at the 96 Olympics in Atlanta, after a controversial lose against a Bulgarian boxer, Serafim Todorov. Also at the beginning of his professional career, he was without his trainer and father Floyd Mayweather Senior who was imprisoned for drug trafficking.

Many obstacles could off halted the champ’s success, yet he managed to come out on top.

Although known to have a ‘big mouth’, Floyd never fails to back it up from setting the three biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view events in the sport’s history to defeating undefeated champions


very beautiful place
when the light of Truth shines in it.

The painting depicts one way in which what is beautiful appears. It is a tribute to a practice of
Dhamma that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of—that of going on alms round in the morning. Dawn in tropical
countries is an exquisite time of day; the rest of the day one feels very hot and sticky, but the dawn is always fresh
and evanescent. The scene of the painting is rather as I have imagined the alms round (pindapada)
in India at the time of the Buddha. In fact, the rural districts of Thailand looked like this when I lived there as a
monk. Some of the simple houses with their grass roofs were perched on stilts to prevent floodingOJ Simpson caught masturbating in cell could impact parole

OJ Simpson could be denied parole after he was caught pleasuring himself in his cell - strictly verboten in federal prisons in the U.S. - a prison source has told Dailymail.com.

'OJ is facing a disciplinary hearing after being written up for masturbating in his prison cell,' said the source. 'He was caught by a female corrections officer making her normal rounds in late June.'

Dailymail.com confirmed with Lovelock Correctional Center that it does employ female corrections officers.

When OJ, now 70, goes in front of the Nevada Department of Corrections Parole Board on Thursday, he still won't have faced a disciplinary hearing for the masturbation charge, which, says the source, could pose a problem for him.


Hong Kong has a population density of over 16,000 people per square mile (about 6,500 per kilometer-squared). This puts the region as the second most dense sovereign state or dependent territory with a population of at least one million people. (Only Singapore is more densely populated.) And for that reason, real estate in Hong Kong gets pricey, and quickly. From 2010 through 2012, housing prices soared 50%, per CNN, making an affordable home a pipe dream — and sparking fears of a future recession spurred by a “bubble” of overvalued real estate popping.

To combat rampant housing price increases, the Hong Kong government issued a series of taxes increases aimed at foreign purchasers, hoping to soften demand until the housing supply caught up. This left many investors on theHigh-rise tank is new solution in farming fish

KAMPERLAND, Netherlands — Adri Bout trawled Dutch waters for 25 years until he recognized the ocean's limits. Now he raises 100 tons of turbot a year in a unique high-rise tank that has overcome some of farmed fishing's most persistent problems.

"I knew 20 years ago there is an end. When you keep fishing like this, the North Sea will be empty," he says.

When he started out, Bout knew nothing about aquaculture.

Turning to neighbors and books for advice, he ran into headaches that plague enclosed farms like his: The fish suffered disease epidemics, he spent a fortune on energy to pump and heat water in his tanks, and he had to dispose of the fish waste without befouling the surrounding area.

"We did


everything by the book. But the books were wrong," he said.

Bout, 55, represents a pioneering breed in an industry seen as increasingly crucial to the world's need for food stability while the oceans' capabilities are dwindling. And as the crisis of the oceans becomes clearer, the term "sustainable farming" is gaining as much resonance for the sea as for land — and is just as difficult to achieve.

Nearly half the fresh and sea water fish on the market is grown in cages along coasts, in lakes, or in tanks on land — some of them inside factory-like buildings with gleaming silver pipes and whirring water pumps.

Another method of limiting the movement of the door from a closed position is the use of door braces which are pivotally secured at a lower end to the floor and extend in angular relation to and in abutment with the door. An upper end of the door brace is received within a vertically extending slot in the door such that movement of the door from the closed position will urge the upper end of the brace to the top of the slot whereby the brace will contact a stop and thus resist further movement of the door.

Integral with the shaft are parallel horizontal cross members joined to one another at their ends by two semi-circular portions which are parallel to one another but which project horizontally at right angles to the parallel cross members. When the shaft is slid into the receptacle with the semi-circular portions extending towards the door, the semi-circular portions contact the closed door and prevent opening of the door. If the shaft of the "Door Club" is removed from the receptacle, is rotated 180 degrees about its axis and is reinserted into the receptacle, the semi-circular portions then face awaydoor when closed. The door may be opened progressively wider by removing the doorstop from the first hole and placing it in one of the other holes. Because many sliding doors are made of glass, the observer on the other side of the door can readily observe when the doorstop has been removed from one hole and can suddenly force the door open before the building occupant has an opportunity to place the doorstop in the second hole.

Issue Number 27 - - - April 1996

(Thanks to Milton H.Walker of Somerset, Pa. and Mayla Yoder
of Berlin, Pa. for submitting this article and thanks to the Somerset
Daily American for giving its permission for us to reprint--Tobias
was YR23972, son of David Yoder and Sarah Lehman)

The life of Civil War veteran Tobias Yoder could almost be
made into a television miniseries. The Somerset County soldier
not only served in the Union Army with fervor but also cheated
death on more than one occasion.

Born in Shade Township be 1827, Yoder was one of four brothers
who enlisted in the Union Army. John was killed; Henry died of
disease, and Moses returned from the war and took up residency
in Stonycreek Township.

Growing up on a farm and being a woodsman ultimately caused
Yoder to develop strongmuscles and a powerful stature. He was
well known in this area as the champion wrestler of Somerset County.

According to Yoder's death notice in Tlte Somerset Herald,
March 31, 1897: "No more perfect specimen of physical manhood
or braver warrior ever shouldered a musket."

Before he ever became a soldier, Yoder cheated death two times.
He was run over by a hand car on the railroad one time, which
resulted in several broken ribs. On another occasion, a coal mine
collapsed on him, killing the dog alongside of him and requiring
unbelievable strength on his part to dig to the surface.

At the time of his enlistment in July 1861, he measured 42
inches across the chest and was 34 years old, an unusual age to
become a soldier because many who served were in their teens.
He enlisted in


the Co. A, 10th Regiment, the very first company
from the county to march off to war.

On June 30, 1862, at New Market Crossroads near Richmond, Va,
Yoder's company got caught in a crossfire from regiments belonging
to Stonewall Jackson and A.P. Hill and once again, Yoder cheated
death.

Seven bullets hit him in what he termed "less than a man
could count to five." (Somerset Herald). Two balls went through
his chest, one of which crushed his left shoulder blade. One hit
him in the side and landed under the hip bone and the other lodged
close to the spine near his kidneys. Three other bullets also
wounded him. All this never knocked the man down but eventually
two comrades pulled him to the rear of battle

Afterwards, he and other wounded Union soldiers were left in
the hands ofthe Confederates, who tended to their own wounded
first and occasionally gave Yoder water from a nearby brook. Three
days after he was wounded, a Confederate wagon drove within 20
feet of him. They told him if he could get up and get on the wagon,
they would wait. "I'm a little stiff," said Yoder, who
was eventually grabbed by the impatient Confederates and pitched
into the wagon (Somerset Herald)

He became a prisoner at Libby Prison but refused medical attention.
Fearing that maggots would infest his wounds, he used a window
stop with a nail in it to reach out his cell window and pull some
tobacco leaves loose so he could plug up his bullet holes.

However, the tobacco theft was discovered and he was reported
to the authorities. He spent 16 days in solitary confinement at
Belle Isle.

He


spent 40 days in prison altogether, going from 180 pounds
to 116. He was then exchanged and sent to Chester Hospital near
Philadelphia, where doctors gave him 48 hours to live. Those doctors,
however. were not aware of Yoder's unbelievable resiliency. His
recovery astounded the medical community so much that the surgeon-in-chief
in Washington D.C. made a special trip to Chester to study his
case.

In January 1863, Yoder returned home to Somerset County. But
after hearing in March that his regiment was recruiting again,
he was ready to go back to service, traveling to Washington D.C.
to join up. Even though officials refused to let him join, he
fought anyway and was at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 2
and 3 of 1863.

When his enlistment was up, doctors were not going to approve
his request for reenlistment. "AfterI had stripped for examination,
I kicked up my heels and executed a little dance on my way out
of the room to show them how lively I was," said Yoder, who
did not want to be left behind (Sometset Herald). He stayed in
the army until the end of the war and was there the day Gen. Robert
E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Va.

Yoder died on March 24, 1897. while visiting his son, Grant,
in Waterloo, lowa. He and his wife are buried in Husband Cemetery.
He died at 70 years of age and had never lost a tooth in his lifetime.
His stature remained "hale and a hearty," (Somerset
Herald)

For some years prior to his death, he was having some problems
with the bullet near his kidney but because an operation to remove
it was too risky,


he carried it and another bullet to the grave.

According to his death notice in the Somerset Herald: "One
of the strangest features of this remarkable man's experience
is that he felt no pain whatsoever during the time that he received
the wounds and their subsequent healing, and was able to eat any
food that he could secure. He seemed literally a man devoid of
nerves or the sense of feeling. He was a thoroughly upright, conscientious,
Christian man and was highly esteemed by all who knew him."

One of Yoder's descendants, Clark Brocht of Rockwood RD 3,
who is also an area historian, believes his great-great-great
grandfather Tobias Yoder survived insurmountable circumstances
for a purpose.

"A normal person would have died from such an ordeal but
I suppose it just wasn't his time yet," said Brocht, who
is descended from Yoder'sdaughter Mrs. Sarah Fisher. "It's
a wonder the minnie balls never hit any major arteries and that
Tobias did not die from infection."

Another descendant of Yoder's was his daughter Ida's son, the
late Dr. Earl O. Haupt, who was a general practitioner in Somerset
and also a well-known historian.

According to Brocht. Dr. Haupt's wife, Elizabeth "Betty"
Haupt, a former director of the Somerset Historical Center, told
him that Tobias's image was used for the Civil War monument at
the Somerset County Courthouse. Her mother-in-law Ida (one of
Tobias's younger daughter) told her this family story.

Although Brocht believes the soldier on the monument looks
like Tobias Yoder, he has never found any documentation on the
subject.

"'Once you start studying your roots, it makes you appreciate
your own life.Our ancestors lived very hard lives. I'm proud Tobias

As the Fall television season begins, viewers will see familiar stalwarts, like Survivor, The Voice and Dancing with the Stars, along with new shows generating buzz, like Quantico and Blood and Oil. But, many of the Fall shows have been preempted by another show, Narcos, which details the rise of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, and which debuted over a month ago on Netflix.

The show's topic alone is an alluring draw, having been featured previously in movies, shows, documentaries, and even in fictional movies within shows. Netflix promoted the show through ordinary advertising, including a flashy trailer and posters with catchy one-liners, like, "There's no business like blow business." One of Netflix most interesting pieces of marketing was a partnership with The Wall Street Journal to createan intricate, lengthy, and interactive promo called "Cocainenomics."

The ad, which can be found on the WSJ website, is split into six sections, describing Pablo's rise and his brutal methods, along with the external factors that helped lead to his ascent, which included cocaine becoming "the disco era’s drug of choice and Wall Street’s drug of power." The ad displays graphics detailing the current cocaine trade, which stretches around the world, and the current trade into the United States, which is dominated by another massive and violent cartel, this time based in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

The feature finishes with details of Medellin today, including an informative and optimistic six minute video, which shows how far the city has come since violence racked the streets for years during Pablo's


Ugandan Police Spokesperson, Kaweesi Assassinated !!!

This was after his convoy was attacked by gunmen near his home at Kulambiro in the outskirts of Kampala.

According to a government official, Kaweesi, who is also the Assistant Inspector General of Police, was killed alongside his two bodyguards and his driver as they left his home for work in his official car.

His death comes just a day after he defended the government on the alleged killings in Kasese.

Kaweesi was appointed spokesman as the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) sought to change its tainted image as well as channel out quick responses to criticism to the force on social media and the media in general.Omar Abdulaziz broke down when told of the death of his mentor. From his Montreal home, he explains why the murder has made Saudi dissidents stronger

For Omar Abdulaziz, a 27-year-old Saudi dissident living in exile in Canada, the murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi was more than a prominent columnist and veteran who knew the ins and outs of the Saudi royal court. He was a mentor and father figure.

Abdulaziz, who often lambasts the Saudi leadership and the crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in online videos that garner a huge following, cannot see his parents, who still live in the kingdom. Khashoggi was also forced to live abroad, without his children.

So when Abdulaziz learned of the journalist’s fate – his brutal killing in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul – he


that went beyond instructions to bring back Saudi dissidents from around the world. Some of the suspects, and top intelligence officials who were ousted in the aftermath, are close to the crown prince, but officials insist that he had no knowledge of the operation. The CIA believes otherwise, however, reportedly concluding that Prince Mohammed ordered the assassination.

The murder has sparked global outrage and damaged the reputation of a leader who had billed himself as a reformer eager to modernise Saudi society but has cracked down on activists and opponents at home. The killing was particularly disturbing to Abdulaziz because, aside from his personal grief, there were chilling parallels with his own life.

In May thisyear, two Saudi officials met him in Montreal, bringing along his brother, and urged him to work with the authorities. In the conversations, which Abdulaziz recorded, the officials invited him to renew his passport at the Saudi consulate. When he went back and listened to them after Khashoggi’s murder, he was stunned.

He declined the offer, but a month later his phone was hacked, and his conversations with Khashoggi were intercepted. They concerned an “army of bees” project to recruit volunteers to counter Saudi state disinformation and propaganda on social media. The hacking was confirmed by the Citizen Lab, an outfit at the University of Toronto that studies digital espionage.

For now, Abdulaziz and other activists are mourning Khashoggi’s death. But he says they do not feel frightened. The journalist’s


killing has refocused attention on human rights abuses in the kingdom, the disastrous war in Yemen and the parallel intolerance of any form of dissent.

“Today in Saudi Arabia, if you are not a megaphone [for the government], you will be detained,” he says. “Silence is no longer enough.”

He is particularly concerned about those detained at home, including his two brothers and several friends who are imprisoned for their links to him. “If they did this to Jamal Khashoggi, how do they deal with the others?” he asks.

Abdulaziz applied for asylum in 2014, when his student scholarship was cancelled after he criticised the Saudi government. He initially criticised Khashoggi also, for refusing to invite Saudi dissidents on to a TV station that he launched in 2015.

But Abdulaziz was oneprocesses and mechanisms such as works councils, collective bargaining, employee share schemes, etc.

EI, at the other end of the spectrum, is more unitarist/individualistic. It aims to harness commitment to organizational goals, but is dependent on the final decision or critical issues by higher management. McLagan and Nel (1995) put forward a taxonomy of EI requiring different levels of corporate responsibility. At the least power of the order is 'prescribed action', such as collect on SOPs which the group then agrees to abide by. Activity involvement such as working in QCs or the use of Statistical Process Control (SPC) to determine process adjustments are examples where, in their estimation, there can be 'real and meaningful' employee involvement. 'Role involvement' is where employees making decisions with customers to determine their

The US military responded to the earlier attacks by hitting radar sites in territory controlled by the insurgents, defence officials in Washington said, in the first direct American action against the rebels.

An Omani aircraft evacuated those wounded in the funeral strike from the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, on Saturday. The flight also carried two American citizens who had been held in Yemen and were released after mediation by Oman. A spokesman for the US State Department, Mark Toner, noted the “humanitarian gesture by the Houthis”.

The Omani aircraft also flew home to Sana’a rebel negotiators who, because of the air blockade,would resolve current “mineral conflicts.” The borders on the PDF map were essentially adopted when Trump made his decision.

However, the “mineral conflicts” began before the Trump administration. Utah has long generated revenue from its lands to fund its public schools, usually by allowing private companies to have mineral rights. When President Barack Obama created the Bears Ears National Monument at the end of 2017, 110,000 acres of land was no longer available as sources of revenue for schools, which concerned the Utah State Board of Education. This land is now a source of revenue again, though as John Andrews, associate director of the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, told the Times, Trump shrunk the monument by more than they had requested.

Steve Jobs is no more. But he left his legacy immortal. From Mac to digital animation, to the iDevices, he is in every man's heart and house, today.Video: Fans pay tribute | OBIT: Steve Jobs 'may never be equaled'

Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California on February 24, 1955. His biological parents were unwed college graduates Joanne Simpson and AbdulfattahJandali and had him adopted by a couple from south of the Bay Area, Paul and Clara Jobs.Paul and Clara called their son Steven Paul. While Steve was still a toddler, the couple moved to the Santa Clara county, later to be known as Silicon Valley. They adopted another baby, a girl called Patti, three years later in 1958.

Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High and


Homestead High School in Cupertino, California.He frequented after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California, and was later hired there, working with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee. Following high school graduation in 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Although he dropped out after only one semester, he continued auditing classes at Reed.

Founding of Apple Computer

In 1974, Jobs took a position as a video game designer with Atari. Several months later he left Atari to find spiritual enlightenment in India, traveling the country and experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computers. The duo started in the Jobs family garage, and funded their entrepreneurial venture after Jobs sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniaksold his beloved scientific calculator.

In 1976, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, with funding from a then-semi-retired Intel product-marketing manager and engineer A.C. "Mike" Markkula Jr., founded Apple. Jobs and Wozniak had been friends for several years, having met in 1971, when their mutual friend, Bill Fernandez, introduced 21-year-old Wozniak to 16-year-old Jobs. Steve Jobs managed to interest Wozniak in assembling a computer and selling it. The first personal computer was sold for $666.66. By 1980, Apple had already released three improved versions of the personal computer. It had a wildly successful IPO, which made both founders millionaires many times over.

Jobs was among the first computer engineers to recognize the appeal of the mouse and the graphical interface, which let users operate computers by clicking on images


instead of writing text. Apple's pioneering Macintosh computer launched in early 1984 with a now-iconic, Orwellian-themed Super Bowl ad.

Macintosh

Apple's first year in business consisted of assembling the boards in Steve's garage and driving to local computer stores to try and sell them. Meanwhile, Woz worked on a new, much improved computer, the Apple II, which he basically finished in 1977.The Apple II soon became the symbol of the personal computing revolution worldwide. It crushed all competition both because of its breakthrough hardware features (including its color graphics) and its very large supply of compatible software. The key to Apple II's success was actually VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program ever brought to market. Thousands of people bought Apple IIs just to use it. As a result, the company grewat a very fast rate, and went public after just four years of existence, in December 1980. Steve Jobs' net worth passed the $200 million mark on that day - he was only 25.

At Apple's annual shareholders meeting on January 24, 1984, emotional Jobs introduced the Macintosh to a wildly enthusiastic audience; Andy Hertzfeld described the scene as "pandemonium". The Macintosh became the first commercially successful small computer with a graphical user interface. The development of the Mac was started by JefRaskin, and eventually taken over by Jobs.

Jobs got the pink slip

While Jobs was a persuasive and charismatic director for Apple, some of his employees from that time had described him as an erratic and temperamental manager. An industry-wide sales slump towards the end of 1984 caused a


deterioration in Jobs' working relationship with Sculley, and at the end of May 1985 - following an internal power struggle and an announcement of significant layoffs because of disappointing sales at the time - Sculley relieved Jobs of his duties as head of the Macintosh division. Jobs later claimed that being fired from Apple was the best thing that could happen to him. "The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."

Success outside Apple

Then came a 10-year hiatus during which he founded NeXT Computer, whose pricey, cube-shaped computer workstations never caught on with consumers.

Jobs had more success when he bought Pixar Animation Studios fromGeorge Lucas before the company made it big with "Toy Story." Jobs brought the same marketing skill to Pixar that he became known for at Apple. His brief but emotional pitch for "Finding Nemo," for example, was a masterful bit of succinct storytelling.

Return to Apple Computers

In 1996, Apple bought NeXT, returning Jobs to the then-struggling company he had co-founded. Within a year, he was running Apple again -- older and perhaps wiser but no less of a perfectionist. And in 2001, he took the stage to introduce the original iPod, the little white device that transformed portable music and kick-started Apple's furious comeback.

In 2002, the company entered the high-end server market with the XServe. They also fought hard to catch up with the speed performances of the Wintel


platform, and in June 2003, they unveiled the G5, a new chip they had developed with IBM that they claimed was the fastest in the world.

"Apple is strong"

But the biggest move was announced in June 2005, at Apple's annual developers' conference, WWDC. The company had just finished its complete transition to OS X after the release of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which was adopted by a very large majority of Mac users. That day, Steve Jobs came on stage and announced to a stunned audience that Apple was going to switch away from IBM to using Intel processors in their Macs.

The move to Intel was decisive in Apple's fight against the Windows supremacy. Given his company's growing momentum, Steve appropriately concluded his WWDC keynote address with thewords: "Apple is strong".

Fight with Cancer

In 2003, Jobs discovered he had a neuroendocrine tumor, a rare but operable form of pancreatic cancer. Instead of immediately opting for surgery, Jobs chose to alter his pescovegetarian diet while weighing Eastern treatment options. For nine months Jobs postponed surgery, making Apple's board of directors nervous. Executives feared that shareholders would pull their stocks if word got out that their CEO was ill. But in the end, Job's confidentiality took precedence over shareholder disclosure. In 2004, he had a successful surgery to remove the pancreatic tumor. True to form, in subsequent years Jobs has disclosed little about his health.

The birth of 'I'

With the introduction of the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iTunes Store, the company made forays


into consumer electronics and music distribution. On June 29, 2007, Apple entered the cellular phone business with the introduction of the iPhone, a multi-touch display cell phone, which also included the features of an iPod and, with its own mobile browser, revolutionized the mobile browsing scene. While stimulating innovation, Jobs also reminded his employees that "real artists ship", by which he meant that delivering working products on time is as important as innovation and attractive design.

The biggest of all was undeniably on January 27, when Steve Jobs finally introduced iPad, Apple's much-anticipated tablet. There were rumors on an Apple tablet even before there were rumors on an Apple phone, and for good reasons: the labs of Cupertino started working on a tablet years before they worked on iPhone.Then,on January 27, Steve Jobs finally took the stage and unveiled iPad to the world. The presentation was bare, almost simplistic, with Steve sitting on a couch and demoing the device for most of his keynote.

Resignation

In August 2011, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple, but remained at the company as chairman of the company's board. Hours after the announcement, Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares dropped 5% in after-hour trading. The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that Jobs' health had been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011. It was believed, according to Forbes, that the impact would be felt in a negative way beyond Apple, including at The Walt Disney


Company where Jobs served as director. In after-hour trading on the day of the announcement, Walt Disney Co. (DIS) shares dropped 1.5%.

Jobs was both admired and criticized for his consummate skill at persuasion and salesmanship, which has been dubbed the "reality distortion field" and was particularly evident during his keynote speeches (colloquially known as "Stevenotes") at Macworld Expos and at Apple's own Worldwide Developers Conferences.

He also built a reputation as a hard-driving, mercurial and sometimes difficult boss who oversaw almost every detail of Apple's products and rejected prototypes that didn't meet his exacting standards.

Jobs' Legacy

Jobs' climb to the top was complete in summer 2011, when Apple listed more cash reserves than the U.S. Treasury and even briefly surpassed Exxon Mobil as the world's most valuable company.

Jobs resigned asWhen Timo "Taimou" Kettunen was accused of cheating, Team EnVyUs owner Mike "Hastr0" Rufail took it upon himself to investigate the claims firsthand.

In a tweet posted Tuesday, Hastr0 said that when Taimou landed in North Carolina for the first time, that he built him a new computer alongside a new mouse and keyboard, and watched him play.

According to Hastr0, Taimou didn't drop off at all, and was still playing DPS heroes at the highest level. Since then, Taimou has helped EnVyUs take first at Overwatch APEX Season 1, second at the Overwatch Open and first at the BTS Overwatch Cup, no hacks required.

Parks testified that during this meeting, Kenton told Parks he had experience with ESOP rollovers and gave Parks the impression that he had been a broker for a long period of time. Parks explained to Kenton that her primary goal was to make sure the money was safe and secure. Parks testified that Kenton suggested investing in bonds, a subject which Parks knew nothing about at the time. No decisions were made during this meeting.
Before their next meeting, Parks reviewed a book authored by Dr. Ravi Batra, an economist at Southern Methodist University.
