       In late 2010, the Stantons began working with Defendant Alan David Tikal,

who promised to reduce their outstanding mortgage debt. As part of a

foreclosure rescue scam, Tikal targeted distressed homeowners and promised to

reducetheir debts by 75 percent. In return for various fees and payments, he

promised to extinguish existing loan obligations and make borrowers obligated to

him for only 25 percent of their original debt. The Stantons executed a

promissory note and deed of trust in the Property in Tikal's favor as part of his

scheme. Several years later, in March 2015, a federal district court sentenced

Tikal to 24 years in prison for his fraudulent scheme.

       Between December 2011 and June 2012, the Stantons paid $41,549 to

The present invention relates to a self-adjusting thread braking device for units for feeding the weft to textile machines, in particular shuttle-less, gripper and bullet looms.
As is known, weft feeders are units which comprise a fixed cylindrical drum on which a rotating arm winds a plurality of turns of thread which constitute a feed reserve, means for causing the advancement of the reserve turns from the base to the end of the drum and means for braking in output the thread which unwinds from the drum and feeds the loom.
The evolution of shuttle-less looms, as a consequence of which significant increases in the amounts (meters) of weft thread inserted in the unit time (minute) have been achieved, entails considerable thread braking problems for the solution of which knownArctica is Digitized fifth release and boasts the production talents of Spiral Eye, aka Jonas Stenberg with two delightfully tasty versions to satisfy all tastes.

In yet another shocker from Uttar Pradesh, a 23-year-old teacher was allegedly kidnapped and raped in the Balwakheri village of Muzaffarnagar district on Saturday evening.Two friends of the accused, who were present at the spot, reportedly made a video of the act to blackmail the teacher. The incident happened when the 23-year-old was coming home after giving tuition."Mohit (the accused) came from behind, covered my mouth so I could not shout and dragged me to an empty house. Then he phoned his two other friends who came and filmed him raping me with their phone. They also threatened me and warned me against speaking about this to anyone," the rape survivor said.The three accused, who are college students, were arrested late Saturday night under charges of rape andon charges under the IT act.This incident comes close on the heels of a similar horrific incident which took place in Muzaffarnagar just two weeks ago. A 20-year-old woman was gang-raped by eight men, and the video circulated on WhatsApp. The woman alleged that the men threatened her that if she complained to the police, they would post the video online.

Statistics from the National crime records bureau paint a shocking picture. According to the bureau, there were 32,546 incidents of crime against women in Uttar Pradesh last year and 3050 rape cases were registered, one of the highest in the country. Despite this, the lawlessness continues in the state.


careers with the Seahawks. Willson was a fifth-round draft pick in 2013 and has caught 74 passes and seven touchdowns in 56 career regular-season games.

Shead was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent who developed into a starting cornerback opposite Richard Sherman last season. He was a restricted free agent entering the offseason but was not tendered a contract and became an unrestricted free agent when the new league year began earlier this month.

But his value on the market was tied to his knee injury and the expectation that he will not be ready when the 2017 season begins in September. While Buffalo had reached out, Shead ultimately decided to remain in Seattle.

Nowadays, people pay more attention to proper physical exercise. In recent years, the diversity of sports allow people not to work out on the equipment in general fitness gyms but also to do exercise for full-body fitness, such as dancing, aerobics, rhythmic gymnastics, etc. Thereby, people do not get bored and are able to persevere in exercising.
Most of the full-body exercises should be paid for requiring the coach at the fitness gym. However, the coach cannot well instruct individual users due to numerous students at the gym, the students neither learn effectively nor fully understand the correct posture.

The lamb was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed a caesarean on the animal to take the lamb out, but was horrified to see that the features of the lamb's snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.

“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.

The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those


of a sheep.

Vets said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of improper mutation since the fodder for the lamb’s mother was abundant with vitamin A, CNNTurk.com reports.

A goat from Zimbabwe gave birth to a similar youngster in September 2009. The mutant baby born with a human-like head stayed alive for several hours until the frightened village residents killed him.

The governor of the province where the ugly goat was born said that the little goat was the fruit of unnatural relationship between the female goat and a man.

"This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. ThisReturn to Amazones

"She [Penthesilea] was made a wonder of beauty even in her death by Aphrodite glorious-crowned, the Bride of the strong War-god, to the end that he, the son of noble Peleus, might be pierced with the sharp arrow of repentant love. The warriors gazed, and in their hearts they prayed that fair and sweet like her their wives might seem, laid on the bed of love, when home they won. Yea, and Achilles' very heart was wrung with love's remorse to have slain a thing so sweet, who might have borne her home, his queenly bride, to chariot-glorious Phthia; for she was flawless, a very daughter of the Gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair." Quintus Smyrnaeus, The Fall of Troy (I.891ff)

As Achilles thrusts his spear


into the throat of Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazon, she looks up at him, suggesting that, indeed, he may have fallen in love with her just as she died.

The amphora, which is in the British Museum, is dated to about 540-530 BC and signed by Exekias, the finest of all black-figure painters and the artist for both the depiction of Dionysus and the dolphins on the cylix in the Staatliche Antikensammlungen (Munich) and the amphora showing Achilles and Ajax playing a board game in the Vatican Museums. The marble fragment of Penthesilea can be dated simply from the fact that her chiton or tunic has exposed the left breast. She is being supported by Achilles, whose hand is barely visible. The statue, which is in the Palazzo Massimoalle Terme (Rome), is a Roman copy of a first century BC Hellenistic original.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, under oath at his confirmation hearing, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he didn’t communicate with Russians during the 2016 campaign. But a new report by Adam Entous, Ellen Nakashima, and Greg Miller for the Washington Post found that Sessions did speak with the Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak.

Justice Department officials told the Post that Sessions, in fact, spoke twice with Kislyak, including, the Post reported, “at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.”

That goes against what Sessions told the Senate Judiciary Committee in January, the Post noted:

At his Jan. 10 Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, what he would do ifcommunication with Russia as part of his work as a campaign surrogate versus his work as a senator. If he was speaking exclusively about his work on the behalf of the campaign, Sessions could argue that his work as a US senator was a separate matter.

“There was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer,” Sessions spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores said. “Last year, the senator had over 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, including the British, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Indian, Chinese, Canadian, Australian, German and Russian ambassadors. He was asked during the hearing about communications between Russia and the Trump campaign — not about meetings he took as a senator and a member of the Armed Services Committee.”

Sessions, for his part, made


a similar argument in his statement: “I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”

Sessions seems to misunderstand the allegations in his statement. It’s not whether he met with Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign, but whether he spoke with them in any capacity despite telling Congress he had no communications with Russians. His spokesperson’s statement and his own statement only deny that he spoke with Russian officials as a campaign surrogate, but he still apparently communicated with a Russian official as a senator.

The Post report suggests that Sessions’s contact with Kislyak, even as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee at the time, was unusual. Among the 20(of 26) members of the committee who responded to the Post, none of them met with Russia’s ambassador last year.

The blockbuster report is just the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the Trump administration’s ties to Russia. Last month, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was forced to resign after it was revealed that he talked to Kislyak in December and may have suggested that Trump would lift sanctions against Russia — a potential violation of the Logan Act, which bans people outside the executive branch from making foreign policy on behalf of the US administration. (Flynn and Trump were not in office at the time of the call.) And in general, there have been questions about just how involved Trump’s team was with Russia’s hacks of

The Civil War at 150

The 150th Commemoration of the Civil War began last December (2010) with the first 150th anniversary, the anniversary of South Carolina's secession. Obviously, the Civil War is of large importance to United States History. It truly is a critical turning point in our nation’s history and can be seen as a second American Revolution. American politics, society and the economy, even geography in some places, were drastically changed through four years of bitter war. Hundreds of thousands were slaughtered by their own countrymen and millions of lives were affected. As I mentioned in a previous post, civil wars are usually the least civil of wars and the trauma of this war rattled a generation and shaped the future of the nation.

Even


though this is a pivotal event in history textbooks, the understanding of it is not limited to textbooks, websites or the published works of historians. A century and a half later, this event is still debated today. It still hooks the interest of ordinary people around the world. The Civil War is the most written about single event in world history. Walk into any bookstore and you will find volumes of recently published works all about this one war 150 years ago. (See my previous post)

One popular topic of debate, and one of the many reasons this event is still so thoroughly studied today, is the root cause of the war: the debate on slavery. The Civil War simply cannot be understood without understanding slavery as the coreThe partner of a 34-year-woman who died in a head-on collision in Palmerston overnight says he does not know how to tell her six-year-old daughter her mum is not coming home.

Two fatalities in horror crash

NT Police Watch Commander Ron Miller said officers came across the scene on Roystonea Avenue late Friday night.

"At about 11 o'clock last night one of our police patrols came across a two-car collision, there were already witnesses at thescene assisting," said Watch Commander Ron Miller.

The drivers of both two cars — Ms Kwok and a 20-year-old man — died at the scene.

A 21-year-old male was also taken to Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) with serious injuries.

"The 34-year-old female driver … was deceased at the scene upon arrival," Watch Commander Miller said.

"And the driver [of the other car] also then died of his injuries."

Police allege the Toyota Corolla driven by the 20-year-old man was going down the wrong side of the road on Roystonea Avenue and crashed head-on with the woman's Hyundai Sedan.

Witnesses of the crash were able to remove a 21-year-old


male passenger from the 20-year-old man's car, prior to the arrival of police.

The 20-year-old man was trapped inside the Toyota Corolla with the vehicle still on fire, NT Police said in a statement.

"Police at the scene managed to extinguish the fire, and Fire and Rescue members extracted the driver, who died at the scene," the statement read.

Watch Commander Miller said the 21-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries but was in a stable condition.

"Roystonea Avenue is closed near Lambrick Avenue for the crash investigation to occur, and it'll be closed for a number of hours this morning."

Police said it was too early to say if there were anycontributing factors to the incident and the Major Crash Investigation Unit was looking into the crash.

St John Ambulance NT operations manager Craig Garraway said the 21-year-old was taken to RDH with "non-life-threatening injuries".

A Royal Darwin Hospital spokeswoman said the man was in a stable condition.

CHESTER, Va. – Police have released the names of the suspect and victims in a triple homicide at a Chester home on Thanksgiving night.

Officers discovered two women and a man shot to death at a home on Dogwood Ridge Court in the Ashley Forrest subdivision around 11:30 p.m.

Officials said the women’s bodies were found inside the home and that the man’s body was found in the front yard.

The victims were identified as 58-year-old Jeanett L. Gattis, 30-year-old Candice L. Kunze and 36-year-old Andrew E. Buthorn.

"The victims and suspect all lived at the residence in the 14000 block of Dogwood Ridge Court and this incident appears to be domestic related," Sgt. P.H. Zoffuto with Chesterfield Police said in a news release. "Jeanett Gattis is the wife of Christopher Gattis.Buthorn is the boyfriend of Kunze, who is the daughter of Jeanett Gattis."

Police said 58-year-old Christopher Gattis was arrested at the scene without incident.

Gattis, who is being held without bond at the Chesterfield County Jail, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Neighbors said everyone on the block is close-knit and that many of them knew the victims and the suspect.

One neighbor said that when heard a gunshot last night, police were already on the scene by the time he came outside. He said he then saw a man's body and the suspect in handcuffs.

Neighbor Mike Brown was stunned by the tragedy and said the suspect was a friend and a gentle man.

Spatio-temporal comparisons of imposex status and tissue organotin concentration in the whelk Reishia clavigera collected along the coasts of Dapeng Bay and Daya Bay, Shenzhen, China.
Organotin compounds (OTs) have caused widespread adverse effects on marine organisms. As no local restrictions on OT-based antifouling paints have been implemented in China, high concentrations of OTs still occur in coastal environments. In this study, we measured the imposex status and tissue concentrations of OTs in the whelk Reishia clavigera collected along the coast of Dapeng Bay and Daya Bay of Shenzhen, China in 2013. Our results showed that all female whelks suffered from the onset of imposex. The highest concentration of total OTs was 27,756 μg kg(-1) dry weight in the samples collected from Shuitousha.

Avenue artistsA new mountain gorilla census scheduled for September 2015

A re-loaded census aimed at ascertaining the total number of Mountain Gorillas protected in the famous Virunga Massif is planned to take place on September 2015 in the outstanding Virunga Mountains always visited on gorilla safari in Uganda and Rwanda. This was announced by the Greater Virunga Trans boundary Collaboration- GVTC.
The great massif which is composed of eight stunning volcanoes distributed in the three neighboring parks of Uganda’s Bwindi and Mgahinga Gorilla Parks, DR Congo’s gorilla park of Virunga National Park not forgetting the Rwanda’s gorilla park of Volcanoes is the only place left in the whole world where one can encounter the endangered species of the mountain gorillas on gorilla safaris in Uganda.
The last mountain gorillas census was carried


out in the month of September 2011 and its results showed a 3.2% increase in Mountain gorilla population (to an estimated total of 880 in the wild) in the Greater Virunga and Bwindi with the other previous censuses having been carried out or conducted in the year 2006, year 2002 and the year 1997. The previous censuses were done with a five year interval.
This forth coming mountain gorilla census is aimed at estimating the current total number of Mountain gorillas protected and conserved in Uganda’s Bwindi’s Impenetrable and Mgahinga national park as well as other gorilla destinations of Virungas in DRC and Volcanoes national park in Rwanda which is the main Rwanda gorilla safari destination. The activity will also involve documenting information on illegal activities, the gorillas distribution(companies that sell to individuals, like GAP)

Successful pilot of the new Level 1 Award in Coaching Cycling

The pilot of the new Level 1 Award in Coaching Cycling was held this month, with development and assessment days taking place at the National Cycling Centre, Manchester.

The re-designed qualification has been developed from the current Level 1 award available to aspiring coaches. It is the first of a new style of delivery being implemented by British Cycling, called blended learning – a combination of online learning and traditional face-to-face delivery methods.

“The pilot was very well received by attendees and we look forward to the official launch of the award in the near future.”

Ashes to ashes, guts to dirt. Washington has become the first US state to approve composting as an alternative to burying or cremating human remains.

Governor Jay Inslee signed the legislation on Tuesday. It allows licensed facilities to offer "natural organic reduction," which turns a body, mixed with substances such as wood chips and straw, into about two wheelbarrows' worth of soil in a span of several weeks.

Loved ones are allowed to keep the soil to spread, just as they might spread the ashes of someone who has


was an architecture graduate student at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, when she began researching the funeral industry. She came up with the idea for human composting, modelling it on a practice farmers have long used to dispose of livestock.

She tweaked the process and found that wood chips, alfalfa and straw created a mixture of nitrogen and carbon that accelerates natural decomposition when a body is placed in a temperature- and moisture-controlled vessel and rotated.

A pilot project at Washington State University tested the idea last year on six bodies, all donors who Spade said wanted to be part of the study.

In 2017, Spade founded Recompose, a company working to bring the concept to the public. It's working on raising nearly $US7 million ($NZ10.7 million) to establish a facilityin Seattle and begin to expand elsewhere, she said.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee signs the bill into law on Tuesday. Photo: AP

State law previously dictated that remains be disposed of by burial or cremation. The law, which takes effect in May 2020, added composting as well as alkaline hydrolysis, a process already legal in 19 other states. The latter uses heat, pressure, water and chemicals like lye to reduce remains.

Cemeteries across the country are allowed to offer natural or "green" burials, by which people are buried in biodegradable shrouds or caskets without being embalmed. Composting could be a good option in cities where cemetery land is scarce, Pedersen said.

Spade described it as "the urban equivalent to natural burial."

Alabama's contingent of top underclassmen made their draft intentions known on Thursday at an on-campus news conference, and as expected, the majority of the group has elected to file for early draft eligibility.

College Football 24/7 Hot Topics:

DB Minkah Fitzpartick, DT Da'Ron Payne, RB Bo Scarbrough and safety Ronnie Harrison announced they all intend to forgo their senior seasons in favor of the draft.

Crimson Tide WR Calvin Ridley announced, via social media on Wednesday, that he intends to enter the draft. College underclassmen have until a Jan. 15 deadline to file for early draft eligibility.

Fitzpatrick has been a starter since his freshman year and is one of college football's most versatile players, with experience and pro potential at safety, nickelback and cornerback. He won the Thorpe Award as thenation's top defensive back, and the Bednarik Award as the game's top defensive player, only the third man ever to win both (Charles Woodson, Patrick Peterson). NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah has compared Fitzpatrick to a bigger version of Tyrann Mathieu.

Payne, an All-SEC First Team selection, took his game to a whole new level in the postseason. He was the Tide's hero in the Sugar Bowl, picking off a pass and catching a pass for a score.

"Every scout I've talked to has a crush on Payne," NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks wrote last month. "He dominates at the point of attack and he plays with great effort. He does need to show some pass-rush production to validate the big grades he's been getting from teams."

Relive Alabama's overtime victory over Georgia


in the 2018 National Championship game.

Harrison said Thursday that he received a second-round grade from the NFL's College Advisory Committee. He built a reputation for fierce tackling and aggressive run support, although he made a career-high three interceptions in the 2017 regular season, giving him five for his career. He led UA's defense with 74 tackles on the year. Harrison (6-3, 215), a two-year starter, was named first-team AP All-SEC in his final college season. As a freshman in 2015, he made one of the most crucial plays in the Crimson Tide's 45-40 national championship win over Clemson with a pass breakup in the end zone on a Deshaun Watson pass to Artavis Scott. NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah has likened him to former Alabama and current New YorkGiants safety Landon Collins.

Scarbrough (6-2, 235) rushed for 612 yards on 124 carries with eight TDs last year. As part of a running back rotation that included Harris, Josh Jacobs and promising freshman Najee Harris, however, he wasn't featured as much as many expected. After rushing for 180 yards against Washington in a College Football Playoff semifinal the previous year, he didn't post a 100-yard performance in 2017 and averaged only nine carries per game.

In a paper published on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, researchers from institutions including Britain’s University of Leeds said severe flooding had affected the Amazon basin nearly every year from 2009 to 2015.

They linked the increase in flooding to a combination of warmer temperatures over the Atlantic Ocean and cooler temperatures over the Pacific.

Characterization of thermal behavior of deep eutectic solvents and their potential as drug solubilization vehicles.
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a new class of solvents typically formed by mixing choline chloride with hydrogen bond donors such as amines, acids, and alcohols. Most DES's are non-reactive with water, biodegradable, and have acceptable toxicity profiles. Urea-choline chloride and malonic acid-choline chloride eutectic systems were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal microscopy. A potential new 2:1 urea-choline chloride cocrystal with a melting point of 25 degrees C was characterized at the eutectic composition. The formation of this cocrystal suggests that DES should not be universally explained by simple eutectic melting, and may be useful in guiding the search for new DES systems.

The pass-happy Cougars led 20-7 after three quarters, then were shut out in the second half and had to rely on the defense to hold off Miami 20-14 on Saturday.

Washington State's defense got some help from a penalty and forced two late turnovers.

"They got the game-winner today," said Cougars quarterback Luke Falk, selected the game's MVP after passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns. "They made plays down there. The two turnovers in the red zone was just huge. We knew something good was going to happen for them, and it did."

Erik Powell added field goals of 30 and 25 yards to help the Cougars (9-4) win a bowl game for the first time since the 2003 Holiday Bowl.

"I just figured we'd win this one and go fromthere," Washington State coach Mike Leach said when asked about ending the bowl drought.

Leach focused on the contributions of seniors who stuck with the program during losing seasons.

"I'm proud of them for hanging in there," Leach said

Asked specifically about the play of his defense, Leach said, "I thought it was huge. We've developed in a team that plays well together. A tough, gritty group of guys."

Miami (8-5) lost its sixth consecutive bowl game. The Hurricanes haven't won a bowl game in nine years, dating to a win over Nevada in the 2006 MPC Computers Bowl.

And after a season that featured so many ups and downs, including the firing of coach Al Golden, Miami badly wanted a win for the players and coaches.

"At the end of the day, there's


no moral victories," said interim coach Larry Scott, who will be replaced by Mark Richt. "At the end of the day, we didn't make enough plays late in the second half."

Washington State led 20-7 at the half and looked in total control, limiting Miami to three total first downs over the second and third quarters.

The Hurricanes rallied in a blizzard in the fourth. Braxton Berrios' 60-yard end-around run out of a wildcat formation set up Mark Walton' 5-yard scoring run that cut it to 20-14 with 13:10 left.

Two series later, Miami had a 3-yard touchdown pass from Brad Kaaya to Stacy Coley called back on a penalty with 5:14 to play. Two players later, Washington State's Marcellus Pippins recovered Walton's fumble at the 5 to end the threat.

Aftera Cougars punt, the Hurricanes were at the Washington State 28, but an end-over-end halfback pass from Joe Yearby was easily intercepted by Shalom Lunai with 2:58 to play.

"The ball slipped out of his hands," Scott said. "That's a play we carried into the game. We worked on it for two weeks."

Falk was 29 of 53 for 295 yards and no interceptions. He threw touchdown passes of 31 yards to running back Jamal Morrow and 25 yards to receiver Gabe Marks.

Of the team's second-half struggles on offense, Marks said, "We allowed the weather to affect us more than we should have. At times it was frustrating. We couldn't get it going. But everyone had my back for me."

FIFTEEN migrants who were found in the back of a lorry in Chippenham last night have been arrested on suspicion of entering the UK illegally.

Police were called at 8.30pm to check out an HGV which was involved in 'suspicious activity' on the A350 near the town.

Officers checked the lorry and discovered the 15 people in the back, one of which was treated in Swindon Great Western Hospital.

The driver of the vehicle, an Irishman in his 50s, was arrested on suspicion of assisting illegal entry into the country. He also remains in custody for further questioning.

Police have confirmed all of the suspected illegal migrants are men over the age of 16.

The way in which music produces itself in Beethoven represents the totality of social _work_. Go back to Haydn. His works often resemble those mechanical models of early factories in which everyone plays his part in the great whole – as in the Salzburg fountain displays. In Beethoven, however, the totality of work has a critical aspect; that is, work consists primarily of a _paring down_ for the sake of totality. It already includes the appropriation of surplus101, a rela- tively short piece of two pages, nevertheless, through its compressed content, carries the weight of a large first movement of a sonata.

Finally, I would like to point out, without being able to deal with the matter at length, that the treatment of large forms in late Beethoven deviates widely from the norm, in that the importance of the development is reduced – as in the Quartet in A minor; the development section – and this is bound up with what I said about the anti-dynamic quality of this music – is no longer really decisive, ending in a kind of 'draw', and its contribution is only completed in the coda. Beethoven did much the same with form as with tonal harmony. Although he did not

Q:

Placement of Aneinu on the day of a fast

On days when the community fasts the prayer of "aneinu" is added to the repetition of the leader in the morning and is said after the blessing of "Re'eh Nah".
In Mincha the community adds this prayer to their silent shemoneh esrei in the blessing of "Shemo'ah Tefillah".
A couple questions:

Why is it by shachris that only the leader says this special prayer in the repetition? Why don't the community also say it in their silent shemoneh esrei?
Why is it that the leader says it after the blessing of "Ro'eh Nah" while the community says it in Shema Koleinu?

(The above placement of the aneinu tefillah is based on what I've seen in many Siddurim including nusach Ashkanaz, Nusach Sephard, and Nusach Chabad.Turkey to appoint military chiefs Published duration 1 August 2011

image caption Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan chairs the annual meeting of the Supreme Military Council

The Turkish government has begun moves to appoint new commanders of the armed forces, with civilians for the first time in charge of the process.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has convened a four-day annual meeting to decide on military promotions.

It follows last week's resignations of the chief of the Turkish armed forces and army, navy and air force heads.

The officials were furious about the arrests of senior officers accused of plotting to undermine the government.

War of words

The military and the governing AK party have for the past two years been engaged in a war of words over allegations that parts of the military had been


plotting a coup.

The BBC's correspondent in Turkey, Jonathan Head, says the contest between the armed forces and the party of Mr Erdogan, which has its roots in political Islam, has now come to a head and Mr Erdogan has won.

He says Mr Erdogan and his ally, President Abdullah Gul, now insist they will have the final say over who commands the military.

image caption President Gul last week appointed General Necdet Ozel (pictured) as new army chief

The former chief of the Turkish armed forces, Isik Kosaner, portrayed his resignation last week as a protest at the jailing of military officers in a variety of court cases.

Gen Kosaner and his senior commanders quit just hours after a court charged 22 suspects, including several generals and officers, with carrying out aninternet campaign to undermine the government.

But our correspondent says there have been no hints of the military intervention in politics, which has been a hallmark of modern Turkish history.

He says Mr Erdogan is instead likely to use the four-day promotions meeting to put more sympathetic officers into top positions, banishing the latent threat that the staunchly secular military has posed to his government during his eight years in office.

President Gul last week appointed General Necdet Ozel as the new army chief.

Gen Ozel is widely expected to be swiftly elevated to chief of the general staff in place of Gen Kosaner. Tradition dictates that only the head of the army can take over the top job.

Sledgehammer controversy

The case that prompted last week's military resignations is the latest element of

As for what would make it happen... err, the center of the country, with low population, becomes rich and prosperous, thus resulting in its Republican lean.

A much-publicised law designed to stop wealthy tax exiles bankrolling political parties has been quietly dropped until after a general election, the Observer has learned.

The disclosure means that key Labour donors such as Lakshmi Mittal as well as Tory donor Lord Ashcroft will still be able to pump millions of pounds into the forthcoming election campaign, despite promises to curb the influence of wealthy backers. It has prompted accusations that the government has "nobbled" an act of parliament by failing to ask the electoral commission to enforce the rule.

Lord Oakeshott, the Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman, said he suspected Labour had abandoned its principled stand of just a few weeks ago because of concerns that the party cannot fight a cut-price general election against cash-rich Tories. "To support animportant piece of legislation stopping this underhand practice and not bring it in before a general election is like banning a drug-taking footballer but allowing him to play in the cup final," he said.

"I suspect the electoral commission is not being pushed by the government to get on with it. Labour needs to realise that they will never win an arms race with the Tories on dodgy donations."

The Political Parties and Elections Act was given royal assent two weeks ago. It included an amendment which was supposed to limit donations from individuals who are domiciled abroad for tax purposes – so called "non-doms" – to no more than £7,500 a year.

It was finally voted through after months of behind-the-scenes battles between Labour backbenchers, who wished to curtail the


of the spirit of undertakings given to me at the time. This needs clarification," he said.

The treasury says there are about 116,000 residents with non-domiciled status. Mittal has given more than £1m to Labour while other wealthy non-doms have donated more than £3m since the last general election.

Lord Ashcroft, the Tory deputy chairman, has directed millions of pounds to help his party target marginal seats in recent years and was granted a peerage in 2000 after agreeing to become resident in Britain for tax purposes. He refuses to discuss his tax status. Lord Laidlaw, one of the Tory party's biggest backers, lives in Switzerland and has been described as a tax exile.

The Liberal Democrats have also received funds from donors domiciled abroad. Bhanu and Dhruv Choudhrie, businessmen whoUber defiant in face of new legal challenge

Uber is pushing back against the latest legal challenge to its business, saying accusations against it and its competitors are inaccurate and need correcting.

The district attorneys for San Francisco and Los Angeles sent letters this week to Uber, Lyft and Sidecar claiming they've engaged in unlawful business practices. The letters, based on a joint investigation by the attorneys' offices, take aim at several issues, chiefly the companies' policies around driver background checks.

The checks don't go far enough and aren't as thorough as the companies claim, the district attorneys (DAs) allege. Sidecar, for instance, has misled consumers by saying it screens out drivers who have ever committed driving violations, sexual assaults and other offenses, according to its letter from the DAs, seen


by IDG News Service. Similar letters were sent to Uber and Lyft, said a source with knowledge of the matter.

Uber says the claims are false. "The district attorneys have made numerous inaccurate assertions that we will correct and discuss with them," an Uber spokeswoman said. "Ridesharing is unequivocally supported by the California legislature, the California Public Utilities Commission, the governor, local jurisdictions across the state and millions of Californians," she added.

Lyft and Sidecar also said they would work with the district attorneys to address the issues. "Sidecar is strongly committed to safety for both riders and drivers," the company said.

Uber's stated policies on background checks include county, federal and multi-state checks -- but they only go back seven years, which is the maximum allowable under California law, theprotected in the process," said San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon on Friday.

The district attorneys also say new services from all three firms that allow customers to car pool to split costs are illegal under California law, which forbids transportation companies from charging multiple people for the same ride. The California Public Utilities Commission has also challenged the services.

San Francisco's Gascon and LA District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in the letter they'd like to meet with the firms by Oct. 8. Barring that, their offices are prepared to take legal action including injunctive relief and civil penalties.

St. Louis police have identified the officer killed in an accidental early morning shooting as 24-year-old Katlyn Alix.

The shooting happened around 1 a.m. Thursday when two on-duty male officers went to one of their homes during their shift. Police Chief John Hayden says Alix was off-duty and stopped by the home. It wasn't clear why the officers were at the home.

A police incident report says the officers were seated in the apartment living room when one of the male officers "mishandled a firearm and shot (Alix) in the chest."

The male officers took her to a hospital, where she died.

Police and the St. Louis city circuit attorney's office are investigating.

Hayden, in a statement, says Alix was an "enthusiastic and energetic young woman with a bright future ahead of her."Quotes by Zac Hanson

GOP Governors Flip-flop and Embrace ObamaCare Exchanges

The 2014 deadline is approaching for states to establish healthcare exchanges as mandated by ObamaCare.

Last year, The New American chronicled not only the crescendo of popular opposition to the president’s healthcare act, but also the statements of several Republican governors refusing to implement the government-run medical care plan in their states.

State government action to stop ObamaCare at the border is a sound application of the constitutional principle of nullification.

Simply put, nullification is the recognition of the right of states to consider null, void, and of no legal effect any act of the federal government that exceeds the “few and defined” powers granted to it by the states in the Constitution.

Despite the recent opinion of the Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of ObamaCare,Herbert in their reversal is the Republican governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer.

Brewer was once one of the frontline soldiers in the fight against ObamaCare. Arizona was one of the states that sued Sebelius and the Obama administration last year, challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare.

Brewer’s not complaining anymore. MSNBC reported: "On Monday [January 14] Arizona’s Republican governor announced she would stop fighting Obamacare and actively embrace one of its key provisions: an expansion of Medicaid to cover citizens earning up to 133% of the federal poverty level ($26,344 for family of three last year)."

Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind those we are obliged to trust with power.... In questions of power, then, let no more


The Malyshev Factory (Ukrainian: Zavod imeni V.O. Malysheva, Завод імені В.О. Малишева), formerly the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory (KhPZ), is a state-owned manufacturer of heavy equipment in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It was named after the Soviet politician Vyacheslav Malyshev. The factory is part of the State Concern UkrOboronProm (Ukrainian Defense Industry).

A tank design bureau was established in the factory in 1928, one of several which would be responsible for some of the most successful tanks ever built, and eventually become the Morozov Design Bureau. The KhPZ designed and produced twenty-five T-24 tanks, then nearly eight thousand BT fast tanks. It also built a handful of multi-turreted T-35 tanks.

When Ukraine was recaptured, it began production of the new T-44 tank in 1945, and the first prototypes of the T-54. After thewar was over, the design bureau and factory gradually transferred all operations back to Kharkiv.[1] The "No. 183" designation was left in Nizhny Tagil, while in Kharkiv the factory merged into Factory No. 75, a previously existing plant known for its T-34 diesel engines. T-54 production was started in the Urals and Kharkiv in 1947–48, and the move ended with the 1951 re-establishment of the Design Bureau, now called KB-60M, in Kharkiv. In 1957, the Factory No. 75 was renamed Malyshev Plant, and next year it took up production of T-55, the most-produced tank ever. The bureau also designed OT-54 and TO-55flame-thrower tanks, for production at the Omsk Transport Machine Construction Plant. In 1967, T-64 tank production began here, as well as in the Kirov Plant and in


the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash to their home countries.[8]

Locomotive production existed in 1897 through 1969. Until the invasion of Soviet Union by Germany in 1941, the factory was producing steam locomotives which were produced on several factories of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. After the war and rebuilding of the factory in 1947, it was producing diesel locomotives until 1969.

Notable diesel engines from Kharkov include the 1472 kW 2D100 (used in the TE3 locomotive) and the 2208 kW 10D100 (used in the TE10 locomotive). Both were 10 cylinder opposed pistontwo-stroke diesel engines of the 1950s.[9] Another engine in this series, the 12 cylinder 9D100 was less successful and was not widely used.A man in St. Lucia named Bennet Charles is taking on clerical leaders across the Caribbean on behalf of the LGBTQ community.

Charles is communications and advocacy officer for United and Strong, an advocacy group on his sovereign island nation. And what prompted him to act is a plea by those religious leaders to President Donald Trump to “stop exporting its LGBT agenda,” according to the St. Lucia Times.

On January 31, the religious officials in the Bahamas, Guyana, St. Maarten, St. Vincent, and Trinidad and Tobago, wrote in their letter that the State Department under President Obama deployed “coercive measures to normalize same-sex marriage,” and elevate LGBTQ issues a view shared by rightwing forces in the U.S.

They asked Trump to reverse that stance, which so far the administration has


not officially done; in fact, Randy Berry, the State Department special envoy for LGBT rights, is now in his second year on the job with the blessing of the president. A spokesperson announced in February that the post would be continued in the new administration and that Berry would continue to fill that role, the Blade reported.

But to Charles, the faith leaders across the Caribbean islands showed with their letter that they are afraid of the power of the LGBTQ community, and that their goal was shortsighted. He called their action both sad and hypocritical.

“There are so many other issues that we wish the religious leaders in the Caribbean would have asked for support from the Trump administration, but they choose to single out one specific issue becauseThe daughter of traveling performers, Ms. White has been performing in musicals since she was 8, and the language of the medium infects her life narrative.

Between gigs on Broadway and singing with Liza Minnelli, Ms. White had always worked for tips in piano bars around the West Village. She was a regular at 88’s until it closed, then found a new home at Rose’s Turn on Grove Street  until it, too, closed. She struggled to

First Nations activist, attorney and writer Caleb Behn talks about the continuing colonial incursions into his Dene homeland in Northeastern British Columbia, his family and nation's fight against the extractive industries and bringing Idle No More to a minus-35-degrees-Celsius-environment.

By the age of 31, Caleb Behn had endured 18 facial reconstructive surgeries. He has had 20 screws and 7 plates in his face. At the age of 10, he had his lips sewn shut.

Caleb Behn: I was born with a cleft upper palate and the source of that is unknown, but it is disproportionate amongst indigenous people. It may


be a genetic predisposition, but as a result I've always had a keen interest in the effect of toxins on children and their development," he explained. "I've spent a lot of time under the knife and having been born humbly, and having to suffer and experience so much pain made me realize that I want to commit myself as a man to trying to relieve that pain in others."

Caleb is the focal point of a new documentary called Fractured Land by filmmakers Fiona Rayher and Damien Gillis, which explores the ever-deteriorating symbiosis between humanity and the land that we are privileged to inhabit.

Hailing from the Dene homeland in Northeastern British Columbia, Caleb grew up adjacent to the oil and gas industry. He has witnessed from an early agethe devastating effects that the industries have had on the environment and the unique and often difficult social climate that arises when cultures clash. With the advent of fracking, an unconventional method of extracting oil and gas, the toll on the land and its people has increased tenfold in the past decade. With degrees in both law and political science, Caleb has been at the forefront of the indigenous movement, representing his people in the centuries-long battle to protect their land and, in turn, the very core of their culture.

A Good Use of Heartbeats: An Interview With First Nations Activist Caleb Behn

First Nations activist, attorney and writer Caleb Behn talks about the continuing colonial incursions into his Dene homeland in Northeastern British Columbia, his family and nation's fight against the extractive industries and bringing Idle No More to a minus-35-degrees-Celsius-environment.

By the age of 31, Caleb Behn had endured 18 facial reconstructive surgeries. He has had 20 screws and 7 plates in his face. At the age of 10, he had his lips sewn shut.

Caleb Behn: I was born with a cleft upper palate and the source of that is unknown, but it is disproportionate amongstindigenous people. It may be a genetic predisposition, but as a result I've always had a keen interest in the effect of toxins on children and their development," he explained. "I've spent a lot of time under the knife and having been born humbly, and having to suffer and experience so much pain made me realize that I want to commit myself as a man to trying to relieve that pain in others."

Caleb is the focal point of a new documentary called Fractured Land by filmmakers Fiona Rayher and Damien Gillis, which explores the ever-deteriorating symbiosis between humanity and the land that we are privileged to inhabit.

Hailing from the Dene homeland in Northeastern British Columbia, Caleb grew up adjacent to the oil and gas industry. He has witnessed


from an early age the devastating effects that the industries have had on the environment and the unique and often difficult social climate that arises when cultures clash. With the advent of fracking, an unconventional method of extracting oil and gas, the toll on the land and its people has increased tenfold in the past decade. With degrees in both law and political science, Caleb has been at the forefront of the indigenous movement, representing his people in the centuries-long battle to protect their land and, in turn, the very core of their culture.

Industrial Impact

I grew up in an interesting and beautiful country. We have large amounts of resources of every kind, except uranium - thank God - but we have pretty much everything else.

and Julia. Because one side of the house faced Westchester Avenue, the Cook family named the home “Westchester Place.” The home retained the name long after the street was divided into Eastchester and Westchester. The brick, two-storey home was constructed on 16 acres of land. It, along with the Merritt house, was one of the first homes in St. Catharines to have indoor plumbing.

In 1867, ownership of the home was passed down to Cook’s daughter Annie and her husband William Gilleland. William Gilleland was a lawyer and served as the Mayor of St. Catharines from 1897-1898. The Gilleland family lived in the home until 1906 when they moved to Lakeshore road, a location that provided them the opportunity to run a fruit farm.

In the 1940’s the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) purchased the property. There is conflicting documentation on when the house was demolished, however it is most likely that the house stood on the land until approximately 1947-1948 when it was demolished and a new building constructed for the CNIB called “Linwell Hall” which was a residence for the blind. It was named Linwell Hall after the first portion of the names of the counties which it served: Lincoln, Welland and Haldimand. This was the first residence and service centre in Canada that specifically served blind individuals. Later the home also became

Breaking the silence about rape in Kosovo, Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman, a survivor of wartime sexual violence, has become the first woman to speak out about her experience during the Kosovo war between 1998 and 1999 in an interview.

Krasniqi Goodman sought justice before the courts in Kosovo, but in 2014 the Supreme Court acquitted two Serb policemen, initially indicted for her rape, on all charges.

Although she broke a taboo by speaking out on her ordeal and inspired many by her public testimony, human rights organizations are warning that justice appears to remain beyond reach for Krasniqi Goodman, and for many other survivors of wartime rape.

“It is very difficult to prove sexual violence in court, especially when the crime was committed a


station to give a statement.

She soon realised she was not going to the police station after the car took a turn and ended up in the Serb-populated village of Babimoc, where she said the police officer raped her.

She said the officer told her: “You will pay for what your father and brother have done.

“At that moment I just wanted to be killed with a bullet,” Krasniqi Goodman said.

Within hours, she said she was being raped again by another Serb, who was not in uniform.

He then took her back to the house. She felt she could not share her ordeal with anyone, until she later reported the case to the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA.

Krasniqi Goodman was lucky to have the support of her family when she did this, which,in a socially conservative society, most of the other estimated 20,000 rape victims in the Kosovo war did not have.

Fearing stigmatisation and even complete exclusion from society, thousands of them have lived in silence, some of them with serious health problems.

The negative perceptions of society and the difficulty in getting suitable medical treatment in a poor country like Kosovo has driven several of these rape victims to suicide.

Long legal battle ends in defeat:

Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman at the memorial “Heroinat” in Pristina dedicated to raped victims of the war.

The uncontested fact, supported by the Kosovo courts, is that Krasniqi Goodman was taken from her home in April 1999 by a uniformed person and raped twice in two different locations in Babimoc, by two individuals.

She began her battle for justice


in 2012, when the Basic Prosecution in Prishtina issued an indictment for her case.

This accused two Kosovo Serbs, Jovica Dejanovic and Djordje Bojkovic, of war crimes against civilians and specifically of raping Krasniqi Goodman, who was a minor when the event occurred.

The Basic Court of Mitrovica, composed of three EULEX judges, Timo Vuojolahti, Mariola Pasnik and Dariusz Sielicki, began their judicial review on April 4, 2013.

Within seven days they heard 12 witnesses, nine of which were invited by the prosecution.

On April 13, the court acquitted the accused of the charges, however, justifying this on the basis of legal violations in the course of the investigation phase with the identification of the accused by the victim and other witnesses.

The court said the process of identifying the accused through photoswere a number of violations. The report, “High profile trials: Justice Delayed” published in 2014, said the Basic Court of Mitrovica had handled the case poorly. “HLC Kosovo considers the treatment, importance, and time given to this case very irresponsible. “It is an extremely serious criminal offence which happened during the war and was part of systematic and pre-planned activities aimed at the intimidation of Albanian population and their removal from Kosovo,” the report said. HLCK focused on the importance of the testimony given by the victim in the process, which it says was not considered duly by the court. “It is inexplicable … that the court did not take into account and honour the dedication of the victim and her family in their pursuit of truth regardless


International said only a few of those held responsible for wartime rape in Kosovo have since been prosecuted.

The report said that in 2009, the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, convicted three of the most senior Serbian political, police and military officials of a joint criminal enterprise in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo, including for “sexual assaults” as form of persecution, and as a crime against humanity.

A fourth senior official was convicted in 2014 of “persecutions through sexual assaults, as a crime against humanity”.

In Serbia, two trials for rape in Kosovo have been concluded at the Special War Crimes Chamber in Belgrade. However, all were brought against Kosovo Albanian former members of the KLA; one resulted in a conviction.

In Kosovo, only three prosecutions for wartimethe crystal sang. The boy explains that because the Adventurer is able to recall everything he saw, he has been chosen by the echo of the crystal. He gets the Adventurer to seek out the rays of light from the giant crystal and to bring them to him at Qufim Island. He reveals his name to be Aldo and vanishes.

After gathering the Seedspalls from beastmen in Jugner Forest, Meriphataud Mountains and Pashhow Marshlands, the Adventurer meets with the young Aldo at Qufim Island. Aldo states that the ancient song would destroy the world if it was completely sung it. He explains that echoes of its verse have reached Vana'diel and are progressively growing stronger. In order to find more answers about this, Aldo requests for the Adventurer to


seek out three more fragments from the crystal.

Just then, a horde of Seed Mandragora appear and chastise the child for defying the will of the Seed Crystal. They proclaim that the echo had been set in motion since the beginning of time and cannot be silenced, and then proceed to attack the Adventurer in waves. When the Adventurer defeats them all, the young Aldo explains that the Seed Crystal and its echo had been drawn to this world by a song that had been ringing out from his mother's heart.

Aldo of the Tenshodo appears, having followed the crystal and asks an explanation of the events that had occurred. Young Aldo reveals himself to be the son of Emeline, Aldo's sister whom he thought had died in the war.The young Aldo asks for his uncle's help in finding the antiphon and breaking the resonance between his mother and the Seed Crystal. He urges the Adventurer and Aldo to travel to Fei'Yin to save his mother from the servants of the Seed Crystal.

At Fei'Yin, Emeline is being held captive in Qu'Bia Arena. The Adventurer must collect shards of the Crystal's power to break the seal barring entry into the arena. With the seal broken, the Adventurer enters the arena to find Emeline being held captive by four servants of the Seed Crystal—Seed Orc, Seed Quadav, Seed Yagudo and Seed Goblin.

They claim that it is time to return Vana'diel to the dark void from which it was birthed and proceed to attack the Adventurer. Defeated, the servants of


the Seed Crystal say that the melody of the lay of destruction will soon reach the Hall of the Gods and that Vana'diel's destruction is inevitable.

In the Hall of the Gods, the Memoro de la Ŝtono is being sung unconsciously from Emeline's heart until she finally gains consciousness. Aldo reunites with Emeline for a matter of seconds before she is once again taken away by the Seed Crystal. Young Aldo explains that in reality, both him and his mother are dreaming. It is there that the Seed Crystal reaches out to him, and also only in her dreams that Emeline remembers her painful past. Young Aldo believes that in order to save the world, all living beings in the world would have to instill the antiphon with thestrength to counter the echo through their will to live and love for this world. He states that the final confrontation with the Seed Crystal awaits them at the Stellar Fulcrum atop Delkfutt's Tower.

In Delkfutt's Tower, the Adventurer must find the remaining fragments of the Crystal scattered around in order to breach the Stellar Fulcrum. When the Adventurer enters the Stellar Fulcrum, Aldo is struck down by magic cast by young Aldo after reuniting with Emeline again. Young Aldo had been under the control of the Seed Crystal when he struck Aldo down. The Seed Crystal then shows its true form. It proclaims that they are dealing with a power beyond their comprehension and that they cling too feebly to their dreams that will end there.

The Adventurer proceeds

The antiphon to the lay of destruction (Memoro de la Ŝtono, which is also the name of the main theme of Final Fantasy XI) is never explicitly named the Ode of Life Bestowing but implied because it is meant to counter the lay of destruction.

The musical theme of the Ode of Life Bestowing is in fact the theme of Final Fantasy. Although the theme is a series staple, it was absent from Final Fantasy XI for its 7 years before the release of this add-on scenario.

Players of Final Fantasy XI have drawn an analogy of the Ode of Life Bestowing for the game itself. Players are the life force of the game, and the community is what keeps the game alive.and says he has an announcement of his own, that he wants EC3 and isn’t leaving till he gets a match against him. He goes on and adds in Hardy and Spud to the mix and demands a tag team match between EC3 and Spud vs. Sting and Hardy. Dixie initially says no, but turns it around to make it sound like it was her own idea and grants the match.

Back from break, and Dixie is still in the ring trying to make her announcement, this time Gunner interrupts her. He says he wants his world title shot and wants it now. Dixie tells him that Magnus isn’t there and denies him before trying to shoo him away. As once again she tries to get around to making


her announcement. James Storm comes down to get in the face of Gunner. They go back and forth about how Gunner costs storm his chance in the title tournament, and then again in feast or fired. Storm Challenges Gunner to a match for the feast or fired case. Carter shuts them up and grants the match and it’s next, and says that she is feed up with the interruptions and will get around to her announcement on her time later.

Great couple of segments the Gunner/Storm part was a little too teenage girl drama, it still made sense with what has been happening. Dixie getting interrupted again and again was funny. She still needs to learn how to work the crowd better, there were loud AJ chants and shejust kept plowing through her lines. On the other hand however, when she is ad libbing with the interruptions and then with Gunner and Storm she is really good. Watching her wave her hand in Gunner’s face telling him to shoo was awesome, and then her just looking bored/annoyed and looking at her watch while Gunner and Storm bickered was a nice little touch.

Gunner vs. James Storm Winner gets the World Title Feast or Fired Briefcase

Short match. A lot of brawling between the two. The match spills to the outside and as they fight, the bell rings for a double count out, which pisses off Storm even more as they continue to fight into the back.

Winner: Draw, Gunner maintains possession of the briefcase

in the US are the ones who have the highest class consciousness. They are called the ruling class. One of their means of exercising power is through the two major political parties.

This ruling class is not monolithic, so they have two political parties to work out and represent differences within their class. As Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere observed, “The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”

While leaders in each of the two parties like to win, their fundamental loyalty is to their class as seen in Al Gore’s refusal to contest the Florida election results in 2000. Likewise, John Kerry admitted he took a fall for his class in 2004. The Democrats, in both instances, chose to acceptdefeat rather than give the appearance to engaging in uncomely intra-class conflict.

Viable third parties are needed if other class interests are to be represented. Ralph Nader – and he should know – cites measures restricting participation of third parties in the US:

Gerrymandering, which ensures that very few incumbents are at risk in one-party districts. Of the 435 seats in the US House of Representatives, only 33 to 40 were considered contested in the 2016 election.

Restricting participation in debates. The national debates are controlled by a private non-profit corporation.

Setting prohibitive ballot access laws, obstructing third party candidacies. Each state has its own arcane rules making it difficult for a new party to mount a national campaign. The de facto one-party state of California with its “top two primaries” regularly

UK inquiry says Putin 'probably approved' Litvinenko murder

A British judge has said Russian President Vladimir Putin probably approved a plan by a Russian security service to kill former agent Alexander Litvinenko. Suspect Andrei Lugovoi has called the suggestion "absurd."

"The FSB (Russian security agency) operation to kill Litvinenko was probably approved by ... President Putin," said Owen from London's High Court.

The report claims that Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, both ex-KGB agents themselves, administered the fatal polonium-210 isotope at a London hotel, under the pretense of meeting up with old colleagues.

Both have long denied the charges, which have been circulating since soon after Litvinenko's death. Lugovoi has even gone so far as to blame British intelligence agents for the incident. Moscow, for its parts, has refused to extradite
