Agreat example is a situation that occurred with Monster. He got "in trouble" for throwing his book on the floor, repeatedly, in the hallway. At first glance, there is nothing to this. He was wrong. It was disrespectful. Thankfully, his teacher asked him about it and she actually listened to him. He was in the hallway working on math. The other students were loud and he couldn't concentrate so he was trying to get their attention to be quiet. His teacher explained that she understood why he did what he did, but this was the wrong way to go about it. He still had a consequence for his action, but she made him feel better about it by actually listening and acknowledging his side of the story. Know


Kuala Lumpur: Asia’s two leading club competitions – the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup – just got more lucrative the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced today.

The AFC Champions League winners will receive US$4m – up from US$3m – in 2018 while the club that lifts the AFC Cup will pick up US$1.5m from next season rather than the US$1m currently on offer.

In announcing the rise, Dato’ Windsor John, the AFC General Secretary, said: “There is increased prize money at every stage in the AFC Champions League, which is already one of the richest continental club competitions in world football.

“The AFC Cup also sees significant increases for the winners and the finalists next season as we fulfil our Vision and Mission to deliver world class competitionsSEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea fired two short-range missiles into the sea Thursday, South Korea's military said, the first weapons launches in more than two months and an apparent pressuring tactic aimed at Washington as North Korean and U.S. officials struggle to restart nuclear negotiations.

The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles that were fired from near the eastern coastal town of Wonsan flew about 430 kilometers (270 miles) before landing in the waters off the country's east coast.

A South Korean defense official, requesting anonymity because of department rules, said that an initial South Korean analysis showed both missiles were fired from mobile launchers and flew at a maximum altitude of 50 kilometers (30 miles).

The North is unhappy with planned U.S.-South Korean military drills that


it says are an invasion preparation, and the missile tests may be aimed at sending a message to Washington about what would happen if diplomacy fails.

The timing was also interesting, coming not long after many in the United States were focused on testimony before Congress by Robert Mueller, the former special counsel, about his two-year probe into Russian election interference.

But the missiles' relatively short flight distance also suggests the launches were not a major provocation, such as a test of a long-range missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland, and that North Korea doesn't appear to be pulling away from U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at curbing its nuclear program.

In recent days, North Korea has been pressuring the U.S. and South Korea to scrap their summertime military drills. Last week,bore a strong resemblance to the Russian-designed Iskander, a short-range, nuclear-capable ballistic missile that has been in the Russian arsenal for more than a decade.

South Korea's military said it and the U.S. military were analyzing details of Thursday's launches. South Korea said it was monitoring possible additional launches by North Korea.

During a third summit at the Korean border late last month, Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un agreed to resume nuclear negotiations, which had been deadlocked since their second summit in Vietnam in February ended without an agreement because of disputes over U.S.-led sanctions.

Both the launches in May and on Thursday won't end that weapons test moratorium, which applies to firing intercontinental ballistic missiles.

On Tuesday, North Korean state media said Kim inspected a newly built submarine


and ordered officials to further bolster the country's military capabilities. The Korean Central News Agency said the submarine's operational deployment "is near at hand."

After analyzing North Korea-dispatched photos of the submarine, experts said the submarine likely has three launch tubes for missiles. South Korean government documents say North Korea has about 70 submarines, but analysts say they mostly have a single launch tube.

The construction of such a new submarine suggests North Korea has been increasing its military capability despite nuclear diplomacy that it began with the United States early last year.

The latest launches came amid a recent flare-up of tensions on the Korean Peninsula after South Korean fighter jets on Tuesday fired hundreds of warning shots to repel a Russian reconnaissance plane that Seoul says violated its airspace.Before that alleged intrusion, Seoul said Russian and Chinese warplanes including the reconnaissance aircraft made an extremely unusual joint entrance into South Korea's air defense identification zone, prompting South Korean military jets to scramble.

Russia and China have said they carried out their first joint patrol in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan but said none of their planes violated South Korea's airspace. Experts say the joint patrol may have been aimed at testing readiness of trilateral security cooperation among the United States, South Korea and Japan.

"For 20 years, Gary has driven toward a compelling vision of a healthy environment," said Ray Baxter, Kaiser Permanente senior vice president of Community Benefit, Research and Health Policy. "His genius is his ability to partner with the health care sector as the leading advocates for change."

The impact of Cohen’s vision for a healthy environment can be felt around the world. Health Care Without Harm’s efforts to eliminate mercury from health care started with one hospital in Boston and has since led to its nearly complete elimination from health care in the United States as well as a global treaty phasing mercury out of health care by 2020.Health Care Without Harm also played a leading role in reducing the number of waste incinerators in the United States from 5,600 incinerators in the 1990s to fewer than 70 in 2006.

Health Care Without Harm has since grown into an international coalition of hospitals and health care systems, medical professionals, community groups, health-affected constituencies, labor unions, environmental and environmental health organizations, and religious groups.

In addition, Cohen founded Practice Greenhealth, the leading membership and networking organization for institutions in the U.S. health care community that have made a commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Through Practice Greenhealth, hospitals can achieve environmentally preferable strategies and achieve environmental performance at a higher level, and become better neighbors to the communities they serve by reducing their carbon footprint. Cohen’s work has shown that

A professor in English
literature studies doesn't think twice about posting aAbout Simply Red

Led by the vocalist Mick Hucknall, the English blue-eyed soul band Simply Red became international stars with their debut album, Picture Book. On the hit ballad "Holding Back the Years," Hucknall proved that he could sing soulfully without affectation, while their cover of the Valentine Brothers' "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)" proved that they could do light funk capably. With each album, their fan base expanded, especially in the U.K.

The band was formed in 1984 by singer Mick "Red" Hucknall (born Michael James Hucknall, June 8, 1960, Manchester, England) with three ex-members of Durutti Column -- bassist Tony Bowers (born October 31, 1952), drummer Chris Joyce (born October 11, 1957, Manchester, England), and keyboardist/brass player Tim Kellett (born July 23, 1964, Knaresborough, England) -- plus guitarist


Sylvan Richardson and keyboardist Fritz McIntyre (born September 2, 1956, Birmingham, England).

The group signed to Elektra Records and released Picture Book (October 1985), which featured "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)," a Top 40 cover of a 1982 R&B chart single by the Valentine Brothers, and "Holding Back the Years," a Hucknall original that topped the U.S. charts. The single caused the album to go platinum, and made the group one of the major successes of 1986. Men and Women (March 1987), which featured two collaborations between Hucknall and soul songwriter Lamont Dozier, was less popular, though it generated the Top 40 hit "The Right Thing." (In the U.K., "Infidelity" and a cover of Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" also made the Top 40.) Richardson left in1987 and was replaced by guitarist Aziz Ibrahim, who was replaced by Heitor T.P. (born in Brazil). The third album, A New Flame (February 1989), went gold due to the cover of the 1972 Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes hit "If You Don't Know Me by Now" that hit number one and became a gold single. (In the U.K., "It's Only Love" and "A New Flame" also made the Top 40.) By the time of the fourth album, Stars (September 1991), Bowers and Joyce had left, with Shaun Ward joining on bass and Gota on drums, and saxophonist Ian Kirkham had become a permanent member. Stars was a relative commercial disappointment in the U.S. (though it spawned Top 40 hits in "Something Got Me Started" and "Stars"


and eventually went gold), but it became a major success elsewhere, especially in the U.K., where it was the best-selling album of 1991, topped the charts for 19 weeks, and spawned the Top Ten hits "Stars" and "For Your Babies" and the Top 40 hits "Something Got Me Started," "Thrill Me," and "Your Mirror." Worldwide, it had sold eight and a half million copies by the second quarter of 1993.

Ward and Gota were gone by the release of Simply Red's fifth album, Life (October 1995), leaving a lineup of Hucknall, McIntyre, Heitor T.P., Kirkham, and backup singer Dee Johnson. The album again proved more of a success at home than in America, topping charts all over Europe, as did its leadoff single, "Fairground," while spending only three monthsin the U.S. charts. Blue followed in May 1998. It topped the British charts and spawned Top Ten hits in "Say You Love Me" and a cover of the Hollies' "The Air That I Breathe" at home, but was a negligible seller in the U.S. In November 1999, Simply Red issued Love and the Russian Winter, which reached the U.K. Top Ten, with the single "Ain't That a Lot of Love" (a cover of a Sam & Dave song) hitting the Top 20.

After establishing the simplyred.com label, the band released Home in April 2003. It reached number two in the U.K., with the singles "Sunrise" and a cover of the Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New" becoming Top Ten hits. Two years later came Simplified, a collection


of old and new songs that hit number three in Britain and number two in the Eurochart. Another two-year absence followed before the notable Stay in April 2007. It hit number four in the U.K. and number two in the Eurochart. By the time of its release, the lineup of Simply Red consisted of Hucknall, Kirkham, Sarah Brown (background vocals), David Clayton (keyboards), Peter Lewinson (drums), Steve Lewinson (bass), Kevin Robinson (trumpet), and Kenji Suzuki (guitar). Hucknall then decided to retire Simply Red but he revived the band in 2015, making a splash with the new album Big Love. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & William Ruhlmannsuffering from a serious shortage of skills....More

Michael Chabon's and Ayelet Waldman's HBO project will be directed -- the pilot, at least -- by Darren Aronofsky, Oscar-nominated director of "Black Swan."

Chabon and Waldman, who are married, have been working together on "Hobgoblin." Little is known about the project other than that it involves magicians and con men using their unique skills to combat Hitler during World War II.

Waldman shared the Aronofsky news on her Facebook page Thursday night. The author of 10 novels and 2009's controversial nonfiction book "Bad Mother," she has been actively engaging in social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, and doing a pretty good job of it. She's currently on tour for the paperback release of her most recent novel, "Red Hook Road," going not to traditional big-city bookstores but to anywherethat readers set up events with at least 50 people -- including Northampton, Mass.; Bloomington, Ind.; and White Plains, N.Y.

The Economist reports:

At the Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, the author regaled an audience of 60 or so, including your correspondent. Although the bookshop had advertised the event, many of those present heard about it from online friends and Ms Waldman's fans. A chummy atmosphere pervaded the room, just as Ms Waldman had hoped. ... Ms Waldman shows savvy in spades. In her talk -- not a reading; she abhors those -- she plays raconteuse, confidante and foul-mouthed pub mate in one. True to that last role, she invited all those present to a drink around the corner afterwards. A remarkable third of


the audience tagged along.

While she's on the road, Chabon -- who won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for his novel "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" may have his hands full at home -- the couple have four children. Chabon's most recent book is "Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son," published in 2009.

This was anything but pretty at times and will not take up much space on an end-of-season highlights reel but all that matters for Liverpool right now is that they have rediscovered the art of grinding out victories away from home and are tightening their grip on a top-four finish in the process.

Hot on the heels of their impressive win at Stoke last weekend, which was their first in the Premier League on the road this year, Liverpool clinched another three points away from Anfield and Roberto Firmino again made the telling contribution.

The parallels with Liverpool’s triumph at Stoke did not end there, however, as Simon Mignolet, who produced a couple of outstanding saves against Mark Hughes’s team, made another vital intervention against Albion by denying Matt PhillipsThe Gordon Research Conference on The Chemistry, Physiology and Structure of Bones and Teeth is now in its thirty-eighth year.

"We think the attacker was going after women," investigators say.

HELSINKI — A suspect detained for allegedly stabbing two people to death in a knife attack in the western Finnish city of Turku is being investigated for murder with possible terrorist intent, police said Saturday.

It appeared that the man — an 18-year-old Moroccan asylum-seeker — targeted women in particular in his rampage in two public squares, said Crista Granroth of the National Bureau of Investigation.

"We think the attacker was going after women," Granroth said, adding that one man was wounded with a knife slash when he tried to stand between the attacker and a woman.

Victims were Finnish citizens

The suspect had yet to be questioned, while four others, also Moroccans living in Turku who know him, were detained on suspicionstabbing spree on August 18, 2017 in Turku.

It was not known if the attack was linked to the decision in June by the Finnish Security Intelligence Service to raise its threat assessment to the second level of a four-step scale. At the time, it cited the Nordic country's "stronger profile within the radical Islamist propaganda." Finland was now considered part of the coalition against the Islamic State group, it said.

Three of those wounded were still in intensive care. Four remained at the hospital and four had been released. The youngest victim was 15, the oldest 67, police said.

A man who had been visiting from neighbouring Sweden said he was


stabbed in the arm and tried to help another victim who died.

"I tried to stop the violent bleeding from her throat ... The woman was so badly injured that she died in my arms," Hassan Zubier told the Expressen tabloid.

Tabloid Ilta-Sanomat said one of the dead was a woman belonging to the local chapter of Jehovah's Witnesses who was handing out leaflets at a central Turku square. A spokesperson for the religious group told the tabloid they believed the woman was randomly attacked. It was not immediately clear if she was the same woman helped by Zubier.

Why has the President spent millions to suppress his ID and who is he really?

As President Barack Obama completes four years in office and runs for re-election in November, a majority of Americans  55%  believe he was born in the United States. However, 20% of Americans do not believe Obama was born in the US, while another 25% arent sure where he was born. Never before have so many Americans doubted the fundamental basis of their presidents identity. Why is this so?

On one level, the answer is easy given the absence of verifiable bona fides attesting to Obamas life story, from every college record to every travel document, from every medical record to every legal writing to every law practice billing record to every record ofhis tenure as an Illinois state senator  and more. But the story has had to penetrate the American psyche in spite of a deep freeze on the topic in conventional channels. The Obama identity story, burning at the grass-roots-level for more than four years now, is consistently snuffed out and ignored by American journalists and the political class, from elected leaders to party officials. This silence is strictly non-partisan, and spans the political spectrum.

An investigation, undertaken by a so-called cold case posse working for Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Arizona, has now concluded that not one but two Obama basic identity documents are, without a doubt, forgeries: 1) the computer file (pdf) of the 1961 birth certificate that appears on the White House website; and 2)


the presidents 1980 military draft registration card released by the U.S. Selective Service Administration shortly before the 2008 election. These investigators maintain they can prove this in court.

The story of how they might do so is verboten, too. But somehow the saga doesnt end up in George Orwells memory hole. This is due mainly to the irrepressible nature of the Internet.

It is here, for example, and not in the mainstream media, where, following the White House online release of Obamas 1961 long-form birth certificate on April 27, 2011, a small army of private individuals with varying degrees of technology expertise downloaded the document file and delved into the unexpectedly unflattened graphic composition layers. They submitted a series of computer forensics analyses to this online public square, arguing thatfrom citizens who are native-born (born in the country) or naturalized. While native-born or naturalized citizen may hold any other office, only natural born citizens are eligible for the presidency, the idea being that Americas founders wanted to ensure that the chief executive had allegiance only to the American republic.

The Constitution doesnt define natural born, but according to common law at the time and, later, the 1875 U.S. Supreme Court case Minor v. Happersett, a natural born citizen is understood to be someone born in the U.S. to citizen parents (plural). Minor spelled out this definition and is thus the signal case. It is remarkable that in mid-2008, as Barack Obama was clinching the presidential nomination, references to the Minor case inexplicably disappeared from 25 related U.S. Supreme


Court decisions archived at Justia.com, a leading legal search engine popular with journalists and legal bloggers. Coincidence? When attorney and blogger Leo Donofrio, whose Obama eligibility challenge went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2008 (dismissed), discovered this apparent tampering in 2011, Justia called it a programming error. The blogosphere called it Justiagate. The media, of course, said nothing at all.

So where does this leave the president, the son of a white American teen mother and a black British subject from Kenya? (Kenya became independent in 1963.)

According to his own story, Baby Obama came into the world with dual American-British citizenship. At the same time, however, there is, to date, zero verifiable evidence to be found of his Hawaiian birth; meanwhile there is circumstantiallong form birth certificate was sealed and archived by the Hawaii DoH through Court order when the Soetoro adoption was finalized. It's legally void and cannot be used as evidence in any Court for any reason.

Hawaii is one of the few states that will provide a copy of the original long form birth certificate to adult adoptees.

After the Soetoro adoption was finalized, Obama obtained Indonesian citizenship and forfeited his U.S. Citizenship status. Since he was minor at the time of his citizenship status change, he was given until 6 months after his 18th birthday to regain his U.S. Citizenship status and his Natural born citizenship status.

For whatever reason, he chose to regain his U.S. Citizenship status in 1983 through the naturalization process. His Certificate of Naturalization if on


at the time of his citizenship status change, he was given until 6 months after his 18th birthday to regain his U.S. Citizenship status and his Natural born citizenship status.

That's my understanding as well. As a minor with dual citizenship, Obama would have needed to make a declaration upon coming of age. But I don't know what the default rules are if he failed to do so. He was living in the U.S. at that point, and had been doing so since he was 10(?). I wonder if he had a passport at that point.

For whatever reason, he chose to regain his U.S. Citizenship status in 1983 through the naturalization process. His Certificate of Naturalization if on file with the USCIS with the Department of Homeland Security.

Is thisborn citizen is understood to be someone born in the U.S. to citizen parents (plural). Minor spelled out this definition and is thus the signal case.

That argument is simply based on a technical misreading of the decision in Minor. The language where the Court itself characterizes its decision as a holding that a person born in the United States of two citizen parents is what technical lawyers call "obiter dicta"--it isn't part of the court's decision no matter what the author of the opinion said.

For these two reasons either of which is sufficient on its own.

The argument in Minor was by a lady who claimed to be a US Citizen. She was born in the United States and there is a legion of authority for the proposition that


down and failure to deal with a realistic understanding of the law on this topic is what precluded lawyers on our side from being able to disqualify zero from the Georgia ballot.

There are two points about the born in Kenya thesis.

If you could show that he was born in Kenya to Stanley and Obama Senior as parents, he was not born a citizen of the United States at all--applicable citizenship statutes are clear on that point. No possible way he would be held Natural Born.

Further, as the article points out, zero went around for years telling anyone who would listen (and authorizing biographies setting forth) that he was born in Kenya.

Under another fairly obscure legal doctrine in the law of evidence, such statements against interest are in mostjurisdictions under most circumstances, evidence that is where he was born.

Since there is no other evidence of any nature where he was born, in the proper legal proceeding (which was in place before the ALJ in Georgia and muffed by our lawyers), a court should hold that zero was obligated to prove on the record where he was in fact born or be held to have been born in Kenya, whether he was in fact born there or not.

Wednesday Walter Abercrombie's

Walter Abercrombie was another '80s running back pick in the first-round by the Steelers. This one ended up a little bit better than yesterday's. In six season with the 'Lers, Abercrombie accumulated 3343 yards on 842 carries (4.0 Y/A). His best season was in 1986, when he rushed 877 yards, unfortunately, just more than two years later, he was out of football due to knee injuries (SI cover curse?).

But unlike Tim Worley, Walt seems like a pretty stand up guy. He was a legend at Baylor University where he holds the school record for career rushing yards, and he actually still holds the NCAA record for rushing yards in his first contest (207 yards against #12 Texas A&M). Abercrombie went back to BaylorLevesque: too good to succeed?

Montreal
— In an ironic twist, Rene Levesque's popular success as Quebec premier since 1976 may well prove the greatest obstacle to achieving his central aim: leading Canada's largest province to a separate sovereignty.

For Mr. Levesque's social and economic reforms have not only helped boost him to a 60-plus percent popularity in Quebec opinion polls; they have also suggested to many Quebeckers that this largest French-speaking group outside France can prosper within English-speaking Canada.

In the May 20 referendum, Mr. Levesque is looking for a mandate to negotiate a separate Quebec tempered by "common market" ties with Canada. He is putting at stake the "last great ambition" of his 20-year drive: to make Quebec "egal a egal" (equal to equal) with the other nine provinces of


Canada by making it a separate nation.

But in his media-oriented campaign, the ex-television commentator has fed the emotions of Quebec nationalism by pointing to his legislative successes as well as berating federal controls on the province. And, by showing that Quebec can be ably governed within Canada, his Parti Quebecois (PQ) may have damaged more than helped the separatist cause.

Mr. Levesque is especially noted for achieving a new agricultural law, no-fault insurance, a giant supply of exportable hydroelectricity, campaign finance reform, quick settlements of strikes, popular tax and fiscal controls, and promotion of the use of French in all businesses. These and various other measures are seen by PQ supporters as indicating that Quebec's "quiet revolution" has yielded effective leadership for the province after more than a centuryof domination by the English-speaking minority.

But, coupled with recent cries from western provinces in Canada for less federal control over natural resources, Mr. Levesque's campaign for cultural separation has become blurred with a grab for more regional power. In fact, some PQ ministers encouraged voters to vote "yes" for negotiations on "sovereignty-association" simply as a "bargaining lever" for talks expected this summer on rewriting the federal Constitution.

"The question is whether Quebec is just another province fighting for more regional power from the federal government, or whether its people will be treated as just another minority," says Jean-Louis Roy, McGill University specialist on Quebec and author of "The Choice of a Country."

After his surprise victory in 1976 with 41 percent of the vote -- only a decade after forming


the secessionist Parti Quebecois -- the widely respected Mr. Levesque found that, once in power, the party's left-wing elements as well as its drive for independence moderated.

Faced with this and with a shift in public opinion, Premier Levesque was forced to soften the proposed referendum's wording last year from a mandate to secede to one of asking for a mandate to negotiate for "sovereignty-association" with a shared currency.

Mr. Levesque has said he would hang up his political career if the "yes" votes are less than 40 percent of referendum results -- indicating rejection by a majority of both non-French and French speakers. On the other hand, he has stated that a simple majority win for his cause would eventually force Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to negotiate forany standard FireWire 6pin to 4pin adapter will fit.

MoJ acts after court interpreter fiasco

The Ministry of Justice says it has accepted all of the recommendations made by the Public Accounts Committee in its report on the department’s ‘shambolic’ handling of the court interpreter contract.

The committee last month published a damning verdict on the procurement and delivery of the four-year contract with Applied Language Solutions to provide court interpreters. The deal, worth up to £42m a year, was expected to save £18m annually.

The committee said that the ministry had not been an intelligent customer in procuring services, despite the risks posed to the administration of justice, and failed to undertake proper due diligence on the winning bid.

The committee made eight recommendations, including cautioning against relying solely on contractors’ assurances that they are ready and able to deliverAndrei Zubov: Moscow lost war in Ukraine 16 11.05.2015, 7:51

Putin has not been able to achieve his main goal in Ukraine.

Such an opinion has been given to Espreso TV by a Russian Professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences Andrei Zubov, who had taken it upon himself to criticize Putin’s policy towards Ukraine and was dismissed from Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) for his statements about inadmissibility of Crimea’s occupation, Ukrinform writes.

As said by him, the Kremlin had not been able to achieve his main goal – to prevent existence of a democratic, pro-European government in Ukraine: “On the contrary, the presidential election, the parliamentary election have been held in Ukraine, and now Ukraine has established itself as a state politically, in spite of the harsh


army marches into the capital of the other country… The war is lost when the goals of the war have not been achieved, and it is not possible to carry on war anymore,” he stated.

According to the scientist, Moscow hesitates to open hostilities, as it knows: as soon as the new stage of the war starts, new sanctions are to be imposed immediately, and the US is to start deliveries of weapons to Ukraine.

“It means, on the one hand, Moscow is pressed by the courageous resistance of Ukrainians, and on the other hand – by the unanimity of the entire Western world. He is trying to split them somehow, but it doesn’t work out. That is exactly why the war is lost,” Zubov underlined.Each in her own unapologetic, impossibly hip, and fierce way, the powerhouses Julie Ae Kim, Rachel Kuo, Senti Sojwal, and Tiffany Diane Tso fused their forces in the wake of the Women’s March in 2017 when they felt the exclusion and tokenization of women of color in the feminist resistance. This was the genesis of the Asian American Feminist Collective, a group of organizers, scholars, artists, and writers whose mission is to engage in intersectional feminist politics grounded within diverse, multiethnic, and diasporic Asian communities and identities. The collective provides much-craved spaces for identity exploration, political education, community building, and advocacy.

The inaugural leadership committee of the AAFC discussed via email the Asian American feminist political pulse of the nation, as well as what’s next for the collective with


The Agency

The instant that the glass front of the restaurant shattered under impact, Derek knew he was too late. As screams echoed around the sidewalk and people ducked, he was running across the slick asphalt of the street in the direction that he guessed that the bullet had come from. His eyes scanned the roofs of the building, searching for movement, but the rain and darkness blurred edges and hid motion. He forced himself to stop, wiped the sheen of rainwater off his face and squinted, looking for a clue. A clang echoed from an alley to his left. He looked and saw a narrow form drop from the fire escape of the building directly across from the restaurant and onto the lid of a closed dumpster. Hewondered briefly which agent they had sent this time. The figure, dressed all in black with a dark hood over its head, was moving quickly up the street, sticking to the shadows and trying to stay out of sight. Derek elbowed a man impatiently out of his way and began to tail the shooter, knowing he could not let him leave this street. He could hear the wail of sirens in the distance; the police and paramedics were on their way. He knew they would be too late. Amir Abdul-Jabbar, the man in the restaurant who Derek had been hired to protect, was already dead. The agents he combated, the men he fought every day, never missed when they fired. Abdul-Jabbar was a Saudi Arabian diplomat that was


spending two months in the United States as part of a routine visit. Relations between the United States and Saudi were strong which was why Derek had been confused upon receiving his assignment. Abdul-Jabbar was a short, beady-eyed man who liked the sound of his own voice and smoked too many cigars. He was devout in both politics and religion and disliked opposition. Derek had no idea why the Agency would want Abdul-Jabbar dead; he would have to ask the shooter that when he took him down. The streets emptied as the shooter left the busy thoroughfares of downtown and moved to enter the darker streets of a nearby warehouse district. Increasing his speed and closing the distance, Derek moved to overtake the shooter. Before he had takenfive steps, the figure broke into a run. Derek cursed, certain he had not given himself away, and began to give chase. The shooter twisted around and fired, the shot going wide only because Derek had been expecting it. He skinned his knee on the pavement as he rolled to his feet, but did not care. He withdrew his own weapon and cocked it. “Stop and drop your weapon!” His pistol was trained on the shooter’s back, but the other man did not slow or glance back. Derek swore again and fired, knowing as he did so that the shooter was out of range. As he splashed through a puddle of dirty water, the shooter whipped around a corner and out of sight. Derek pressed himself up against


the side of the building in a semi-crouch and then quickly turned the corner, gun raised. The narrow lane between the industrial warehouses was empty. Derek blinked rain water out of his eyes and cautiously moved into the center of the street, trying to use the light at the far corner of the building to the best of his advantage. Derek felt the barrel of the gun at the back of his head at the exact moment that he heard movement behind him. “Drop it.” The voice was quiet, barely audible over the steady rainfall. Swallowing heavily as he fought to catch his breath, Derek raised his hands in the air, the gun dangling by its trigger on his finger. “Why did you kill Abdul-Jabbar?” Derek asked thethe safety being clicked off of the gun. “I would tell you to enjoy your trip to hell.” There were only two instances in Derek’s life where time seemed to stop. The first was the first time he had kissed his wife and the second was when his father had died. In both instances he had moved as if trapped in the Dali painting, the one with the drooping clocks. As he spun to wrest the gun from the shooter’s grasp, the turn felt as if it took hours to complete. His fist moved in slow motion as he struck the shooter in the face, forcing the other man to his knees. His arm rose almost with an eerie sort of grace (when had he gotten hold of


the gun?) and the barrel settled right between the shooter’s eyes. Then time seemed to speed up and he snapped back into reality like a rubber band regaining its shape. On his knees before him was a man who represented the Agency, the core of killers who worked around the globe for those who had the deepest pockets. They were nothing more than organized guns for hire and Derek had long ago pledged his life to fighting them. He knew he was one of their most hunted enemies and somehow, no matter where he moved, they had always managed to keep up with him. The Agency knew that whoever Derek protected was someone who needed to be destroyed. Perhaps that was why Abdul-Jabbar had been killed. As Dereklooked at the man on his knees in the muddy streets of the dark warehouse district, he finally allowed all the anger and grief of the past several years to overwhelm him. He had within his power to do whatever he wanted to the shooter without fear of retribution. He was bound by no law and no consequences. The whole life with his wife Selena that he had tried to build on top of the tatters of his past was suddenly forgotten. As he stared at the man who represented the force and might of his enemy, Derek knew he could never let him walk free. “I don’t know who you are,” Derek began. “I don’t know where you stand on the Agency totem pole, but know this:


some people who found it difficult to look down the barrel of a gun and end the life of the person at the other end. He had heard that looking into their eyes made your hand seize up and stiffen so that you could not pull the trigger, but the shooter was wearing a hood that hid his face. The man’s anonymity only added to the beauty of the metaphor that Derek had spun and he aimed and fired between the shooter’s eyes, imagining that he was firing into the head of the Agency itself. The crack of the shot echoed around the warehouses like thunder and the shooter fell back onto the street, the rain falling on his upturned face. Derek slowly lowered the gun, as theblood rushing in his ears subsided. He took a few careful steps toward the body, suddenly wanting to see the face of the man that he had killed. He knew most of the Agency’s assassins by sight; he needed to know if he had killed someone high in command. He shoved his gun in the waistband of his jeans and knelt down, grasping the top of the nylon hood and pulling it free in one smooth movement. The sight that greeted him was that of a statue – the shooter had not been a man, but a woman; a woman with sculpted features and blue eyes that were widened in shock. Her brown hair was tousled, matted with sweat and blood, and her face held a look of


astonishment that would be forever preserved in death. Derek fell back on the street with a cry of pain. The Agency assassin who had killed Amir Abdul-Jabbar, who had fired on him as he had chased her, who represented everything that he hated and despised and who now lay dead in the street by his hand had the face of an angel. She wasn’t just any angel, she was his angel. She was his Selena, his beloved wife.

In short, there does not appear to be any organized momentum pushing for mayoral control at the moment. Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams has had a mostly friction-free relationship with the mayor; the school board, for its part, has been seeking to assert its authority, not cede it.

Poverty & Opression Underlie Peru Crisis

Daring rebel action catches Fujimori regime by surprise

By Monica Ruiz. Reprinted from the Jan. 2, 1997 issue of Workers World newspaper

The daring and successful takeover of the Japanese
ambassador's house in the capital city of Lima has focused
world attention on Peru's Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement
(MRTA).

The MRTA, one of several revolutionary armies in Peru, took
over the house on the evening of Dec. 17 in what the group
called Operation Breaking the Silence.

Dressed as waiters, the rebels crashed a lavish party
commemorating the birthday of Japanese Emperor Akihito.
Hundreds of people, including members of Peru's ruling class
and international and political elite, found their
celebration transformed into an arena of class struggle.

Some 600 party-goers were captured by the guerrillas. As of
this writing, the majority have been released, either for
humanitarian reasons orfor negotiating purposes. MRTA
militants-described as young and extremely
disciplined-continue to hold Peruvian Foreign Minister
Francisco Tudela, 11 ambassadors, the country's top generals
and the heads of Peru's political police, including Gen.
Maximo Rivera, director of the National Directorate Against
Terrorism (DINCOTE), and Carlos Dom Anguez, former DINCOTE
director.

The MRTA is demanding the liberation of 500 of its comrades
languishing in prisons throughout Peru and an end to the
neoliberal economic policies of President Alberto Fujimori's
regime. It also demands repeal of the amnesty law that
absolves paramilitary death squads, the reestablishment of
union rights, abolition of the new land law, and guaranteed
recognition of the campesino community, according to
released hostages.

U.S. AND JAPAN INTERVENE

Negotiations between the Fujimori government and the MRTA
have been taking place in a climate of open imperialist
intervention by both the U.S. and Japanese governments.

Outwardly, at least, the Japanese


with the U.S.,
also sent a security team-reportedly elite Special Air
Service "anti-terrorist" paratroopers.

Beneath the differences in approach to the crisis between
Japan and the U.S. is their competition for hegemony in
Peru.

While the U.S. remains the largest source of economic and
military aid to Peru, Japan runs a close second. Japan has
tried to use Peru as an economic beachhead in Latin America,
making this Andean country the leading recipient of Japanese
development loans in the region. Japan has an interest in
keeping a modicum of peace and stability for its investments
to continue flourishing.

Fujimori is of Japanese ancestry, reflecting the affinity
between one section of Peru's ruling class and the growing
Japanese presence in what has been for over a century within
the U.S. economic sphere of influence.

The U.S., on the other hand, has tried to build stronger
links tothe Peruvian military under the cover of the
so-called drug war. Using this excuse the Pentagon provides
military helicopters and advisers to Peru-that can then be
used against popular armed movements.

Another avenue for seemingly innocuous assistance is the
U.S. Agency for International Development, which has been
identified as a frequent conduit for CIA money. Peru is the
largest recipient in South America of USAID funds.

OPPRESSED ARE EXHILARATED

The British news agency Reuter reports widespread support in
the Latin American left for the MRTA action-which means that
workers and peasants are celebrating this daring act.

Julio Marenales, a former leader of the Uruguayan Movement
for National Liberation, known as the Tupamaros, said he
felt close to any movement that wages a sincere struggle and
seeks a profound change in the country.

Rina Bertaccini of the Argentine Communist Party charged
that "The responsibility for this


situation lies with the
Peruvian government, which holds political prisoners in
terrible conditions."

Marco Leon Calarca, spokesperson for the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia, stated, "The people of the world cannot
sink into extreme poverty and misery without struggling.
They have to defend themselves against the aggression of the
neoliberal model."

By neoliberalism is meant the so-called free trade policy of
the world banks that has forced so many indebted developing
countries to privatize state-owned industries and open their
internal markets to transnationals. This usually leads to
the bankruptcy of domestic businesses and farms, with
growing unemployment and misery for the people.

GLARING RICH-POOR GAP

Over 50 percent of Peru's people live below the poverty
line. The poor are overwhelmingly of Indian descent. Fully
54 percent of the population is Indian, with another 32
percent mixed Spanish and Indian.

The ruling elite, on the other hand, iswhite. This tiny,
wealthy elite lives surrounded both physically and socially
by an enormous mass of super-oppressed. The rich
neighborhoods where the wealthy live are surrounded by
gigantic slums known euphemistically as pueblos
jovenes--young towns.

This small elite has every reason to fear the world around
it, given the difference in wealth, power and numbers. So
they have demanded, and got, a government that delivers
fierce repression of any who challenge their privileged
status.

These conditions have inevitably led the Peruvian people
toward armed revolutionary struggle. In 1980, the Peruvian
Communist Party-known as the Shining Path-launched a
military campaign against the Peruvian ruling class that had
strong support in some of the most impoverished rural areas.

The MRTA, a Marxist-Leninist group that emerged in 1982,
launched its first armed attack in 1984. It takes its name
from Tupac Amaru II, the last Inca to lead a


rebellion
against Spanish colonizers in 1782.

Fujimori--a former engineer with no political background--was
elected in 1990 as a reflection of the insecurity of the
Peruvian elite. His election marked a break from the
traditional ruling parties toward military rule administered
by law-and-order technocrats. His tough, dictatorial stance
is aimed at shielding the elite from the fury of the masses.

As the present situation shows, however, they can never
shield themselves from the workers. It is workers who feed
them, wash their clothes, cook their food, tend their
gardens, and protect their palatial homes.

The revolutionaries who got into the ambassador's compound
were dressed as caterers and came carrying champagne and
caviar. Reports from released hostages describe them as
young workers, women and men. Their leader is reported to be
Nestor Cerpa Cartolini, a militant union official who was
jailed in 1979 for leading a workeroccupation of Cromotex,
a textile plant that was being closed.

POVERTY AND MILITARY DICTATORSHIP

Consolidating his control of the country, Fujimori shut down
the Congress in April 1992. He then fired nearly half the
Supreme Court and assumed dictatorial powers. Fujimori
recently managed to amend the Peruvian constitution so he
could rule for a third term.

After years of economic policies dictated by the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, 80 percent
of Peru's workforce remains either jobless or
under-employed, according to a Dec. 18 Reuter report. Only
one in 32 people have a telephone and millions have little
or no access to medical care. Fujimori's standing in the
polls has steadily dropped over the last five years.

In his campaign to decimate the revolutionary movements in
Peru, Fujimori has given the military free rein. As a
consequence, the prisons have been flooded with

is a tricky situation for the White Sox and Garcia for various reasons, one being the long-term health of Garcia, because he’ll be a big part of the 2015 White Sox and beyond.

On the other hand, the White Sox (47-51) are 5.5 games out of the second Wild Card spot and eight games back of the top spot in the AL Central.

Garcia played in just eight games this season before injuring his shoulder. He came to the White Sox this offseason in a three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers. In that trade, the White Sox parted ways with veteran pitcher Jake Peavy.

My guess is Garcia won’t be on the MLB roster for the remainder of the season, unless it is sometime in late Septemberwhistleblowers and investigative journalists intimidated, prosecuted and silenced for the “crime” of truth-telling about high crimes of state US authorities want suppressed, Britain and Sweden aiding and abetting them.

US actions against Assange, Chelsea Manning, and others like them is how all police states operate.

Britain and Sweden conspired with Washington to crucify Assange. Targeting him threatens speech, media and academic freedoms for everyone else in the US, UK, and other Western countries.

What’s happening to Assange, Manning, and others like them puts all truth-tellers on vital issues at risk.

It’s what tyranny is all about in the US and elsewhere in the West — things heading toward abolishing freedoms altogether.

Injury from self-directed violence, which includes suicidal behavior and its consequences, is a leading cause of death and disability. In 2009, suicide was the 10th-leading cause of death in the United States and the cause of 36,909 deaths. In 2005, the estimated cost of self-directed violence (fatal and nonfatal treated) was $41.2 billion (including $38.9 billion in productivity losses and $2.2 billion in medical costs). Suicide is a complex human behavior that results from an interaction of multiple biological, psychological, social, political, and economic factors. Although self-directed violence affects members of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States, it often is misperceived to be a problem affecting primarily non-Hispanic white males.

The TreeHouse


Trust (TreeHouse) is a UK charity, based in north London and founded in 1997 by a group of parents whose children had recently been diagnosed with severe autism. TreeHouse was established in response to the
huge
unmet national need for specialist education for children with autism. Its aim was to provide an educational centre of excellence for children with autism
and related communication disorders. They also run Treehouse School.

As of the 1 February 2005, TreeHouse has merged with PACE, a campaigning
charity for children with autism. PACE is now the TreeHouse Policy and Campaigns Team.

How will the ESL Mobile Open be organized?

The first year will be divided into three seasons. The first will start March 18, and each of the three seasons will follow the same structure.

Phase 1 – Open Qualifier – This is the initial phase of the tournament in which all players competing in the event will compete across four weeks. At the end of those four weeks, the top 50 percent of players will move on to the next phase. Phase 2 – Closed Qualifier – The top half of players then face off. Once again, the field will be cut by half upon completion of this phase. Phase 3 – Final Eliminators – The remaining players compete once again, with several gamesbeing broadcast live by the ESL. From these games, a small number of players will earn chances to compete at one of the three big events, DreamHack Dallas, ESL One New York or DreamHack Atlanta, on stage in front of thousands of spectators.

Registration to compete in the ESL Mobile Open is available right now for PUBG Mobile and Clash of Clans, with registration for Asphalt 9: Legends opening on March 18. More information on these events is available on ESL’s Twitter and Facebook feeds, as well as at their website for the tournament.

the station.
Still additional problems may include limitations on the driver""s xe2x80x9cfield of sightxe2x80x9d when approaching the station in a car or truck. Many stations are hidden from view by trees, shrubbery, signs or even other buildings in some cases. Also, the station may be located so close to the roadway that drivers do not have time to react once they see a vehicle leaving the station.
In this connection, drivers are not surprised to see a vehicle in front of the station. Since they might not hear the siren, they must often actually see the lights before it registers that a fire department or rescue vehicle needs the right of way. For this purpose, the most effective solution to the problem is to simply use a traffic signal.
In thisdirection maximizing solar energy collection. The programmable central control panel is operatively associated with the battery for controlling the traffic signal assembly and delivering power from the battery to the traffic signal assembly responsive to a signal from a remote location. With this arrangement, means are also provided for rapidly connecting and disconnecting the components including the traffic signal assembly, battery, solar panel and programmable central control panel in modular fashion.
In a preferred embodiment, the traffic control system includes a receptacle having a light bulb for illumination in each of the light housings. The battery is adapted to supply power for illuminating the light bulbs in the light housings in a manner determined by the programmable central control panel. As an additional feature, the traffic control system includes


means for operating in the warning deployment in a final phase with only the yellow light in the outer light housings flashing at a predetermined flash rate for a selected period of time.
Alternatively, the programmable central control panel includes means for operating in the stop deployment in an initial phase with only the yellow light in the center light housing flashing at a predetermined flash rate for a selected period of time. The programmable central control panel then also advantageously includes means for operating in the stop deployment in an intermediate phase with only the yellow light in the center light housing being continuously illuminated for a selected period of time. When so operated, the programmable central control panel further includes means for operating in the stop deploymentBut school officials barred him from the boys’ bathroom a month after school began in 2015, Drew said, after someone anonymously complained about his presence there. When his mother, Erica Kasper, failed to reach a resolution with school officials, she filed a complaint with the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights, which had successfully pressed other school districts into allowing transgender students to use bathrooms that matched the gender they identify with. The office began investigating but stopped after a federal judge in August 2016 issued an injunction in response to a lawsuit challenging the department’s protections for transgender students.

After three school counselors met with Drew in September 2015 to tell him he was no longer allowed in the boys’ bathroom, his mother met with school officials, hoping to persuade them to change their minds, according to the lawsuit. But she encountered resistance from administrators. One told her he was concerned a transgender girl would “wave her penis around” in a girls’ bathroom, according to the suit.

Originally, Kasper and Drew hoped their civil rights complaint with the Education Department would lead to a resolution. A federal investigator began looking into the case and negotiating with school officials to give Drew access to the bathroom. Kasper and Drew were heartened when the Obama administration issued guidance that extended protections for transgender students.

Twenty-four penalties were accepted, 10 of which New England committed, and a handful of the calls appeared questionable.

At the end of the game, Patriots coach Bill Belichick grabbed an official as he was leaving the field in what looked like an attempt to speak with him. The official never broke stride, ignoring Belichick's grasp and continuing off the field.

A well-placed source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Belichick wanted to ask the officiating crew whether Justin Tucker's 27-yard winning field goal, which appeared to go over the right upright, would be reviewed.

NARRATOR: Yekaterinburg,
Russia, July 17, 1918.
Members of the deposed Russian
royal family, Czar Nicholas
and Czarina Alexandra Romanov
and their five children,
are awakened in the
middle of the night
by Bolshevik soldiers.
They are led to the basement
of their safe house.
One after the other,
they are executed.
Rumors spread that their death
was the result of a curse laid
upon them by the
powerful mystic, Grigori
Rasputin, a man who had
been murdered himself a year
and a half prior.
Rasputin wrote an
open letter to Russia.
And within this open
letter, he states,
if I am murdered
by the royal family
or by someone related to the
royal family, within two years,
every member of the royal
family will be dead.
NARRATOR: Just who was
this mysterious figure
known as Rasputin?
And how did he come
to be so infamously
associated with dark powers
from beyond the grave?
[spooky music]
[wind blowing]
Pokrovskoye, Western Siberia.
A comet streaks across the
Russian sky the evening
ofJanuary 23, 1871.
This celestial event is
said to have set the stage
for the birth of Rasputin.
From a very early age, Rasputin
displayed what some believe
to be supernatural
powers, including
psychic premonitions and
the ability to heal animals.
And by the time he
reached adulthood,
he would experience
a vision that
would profoundly alter the
trajectory of his peasant life.
One day while
plowing his fields,
Rasputin sees a strange
light in the sky.
And out from the
middle of this light
emerges a vision
of the Virgin Mary.
And she doesn't speak to him.
But he watches her
gesture to the horizon.
And Rasputin takes this to
mean that he is being told
by the mother of god that
he must go and find himself
on a spiritual pilgrimage.
And this begins the huge
shift in Rasputin's life.
NARRATOR: But was
it really the Virgin
Mary that appeared to Rasputin?
Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
that what Rasputin encountered
was a very different
kind of otherworldly


gained great favor
with the royal family,
the czar's family.
Some felt he was one of the
most powerful people in Russia
at the time.
But he also drew the
attention of powerful rivals.
So he made some major enemies.
Rasputin's behavior certainly
became an area of concern
for the nobility.
He was seen to be debaucherous.
He was involved in orgies.
He was a very,
very heavy drinker.
He was often seen battling
with demons out loud as he
walked through the streets.
NARRATOR: Rasputin's
erratic behavior would earn
him the nickname the Mad Monk.
But might he really
have been functioning
as a vessel for otherworldly
forces, forces he had
little, if any control over?
Rasputin really almost
comes across as really being
a pawn in a much bigger game.
And that's a bigger game that is
connected to extraterrestrials.
And that's one of the
amazing things about it.
calibration, or xe2x80x9cteachingxe2x80x9d, of a robot allows the robot to commit to stored memory the location of the station(s) relative to the robot. In order to calibrate (or re-calibrate) the robot to a particular station, a rough approximation of the correct positioning between the robot and station is established by the operator. Thereafter, the end effector is moved to the position on the workstation which the operator estimates is the proper position of the end effector to drop off and acquire workpieces to and from the station. Typically, the operator visually aligns an end effector with the center position of the workpiece supported in a cassette on the station. The operator may use a remote control xe2x80x9cteach pendantxe2x80x9d to position the end effector, or the operator may manually


to a workstation in a workpiece tool. In the preferred embodiment, the workpiece handling robot includes a sensor, preferably a retro-reflective optical sensor, located near an end of a robot end effector. The sensor is removably mounted on the end effector in between two fingers and a base portion which form a U-shaped wafer support platform. The sensitivity of the sensor may be set to detect a minor change in reflected light.
The robot calibration system further includes a target including a reflectance pattern on its surface, which target is located by an operator on the station. The target may be the same size or slightly larger than a typical workpiece loaded on the station, and is located on the station in the same position as workpieces that areto be transferred to and from the station by the robot. It is also contemplated that the target be different shapes and sizes than the typical workpieces used on the stations, provided that it sits in a fixed position on the station. By movement of the end effector around portions of the target, the sensor in combination with the robot control system is able to identify the center of the target. Once the center of the target on the station has been identified, the control system knows the spacial relation between the robot and the station, and in particular the position of the workpieces at the station. The identified center position of the target relative to the robot is then stored in the control system memory. Thereafter, the


control system may return the end effector to that position to acquire wafers from or present wafers to the station.
The reflectance pattern on the target is on at least one side of the target and preferably on a bottom side of the target. While various reflectance patterns are contemplated, a preferred reflectance pattern on the target comprises four quadrants formed by alternating black areas and white areas. The four quadrants are bordered by two lines which are perpendicular and intersect. The intersection of the two lines represents the center of the target.
The target may be formed of any of various durable materials such as carbon fibre. Where carbon fibre is used, a white reflectance pattern may be applied to the black fibre. Alternatively, the target can be formedBlog Archives

Court Rules which seemed to allow Brown to represent his corporation and 1942 Alabama case law which would not allow a private individual to represent his corporation in court.
Members of this group contacted J. O. Sentell, Clerk of the Supreme Court and the local bar association to determine if Brown was a licensed attorney. They also consulted the Secretary of State's office to learn if Brown's business was incorporated.
Parnell, Harry Perdue, Donald Harrison, Lynn, and Walden signed a warrant for Brown's arrest for the unauthorized practice of law pursuant to Title 46, § 42, Code of Alabama 1940 (now Code 1975, § 34-3-7). Brown was arrested and was subsequently tried and convicted of the charges in district court. He appealed to the circuit court where the district attorneySmall Claims Rules and determining whether Brown was an attorney and his business a corporation.
Harry Perdue handles collections amounting to approximately 50% of his work load. At the time of the incident in Small Claims Court, Nick Parnell was associated with a firm that did collection work. Horace Lynn is a member of a firm which does a small amount of collection work and he had occasionally appeared in Small Claims Court. Don Harrison and Gatewood Walden do almost no collection work. Collier Carlton, who signed the warrant but was not sued for malicious prosecution, does no collection work himself, all of his firm's collection cases being handled by his partner which amount to about a quarter of his partner's work.
Walden, Parnell, Lynn and Carlton were sitting in


the small claims courtroom when Brown presented his cases to the judge. All of them stated in their depositions that Brown was attempting to perform as an attorney would in a courtroom, arguing his case and presenting documents to the judge. They stated that from his demeanor at the bar they thought him not to be an attorney and none of them recognized him as a member of the Montgomery Bar although it was clear to all of them that he was representing a local business. There in the courtroom they briefly questioned each other on whether any of them knew Brown to be an attorney. Walden specifically stated that he heard Brown tell the judge that he represented a corporation and several of the others got thatimpression from his argument. Don Harrison testified on deposition that while he did not sit in the courtroom with the other attorneys that he walked into the room, observed Brown arguing his cases and left the courtroom.
Walden, Parnell, Carlton, Lynn, Harrison, and Perdue were all a part of the discussion in the courthouse coffee shop that went on after the incident in Small Claims Court. They questioned each other on whether Brown was an attorney and a member of *1140 the bar and generally resolved that he was not. Perdue, having been president-elect of the Montgomery County Bar Association, would have known or have seen a list of all the members' names. They discussed their belief that Brown was not an attorney based on his actions before the

Biden's treatment of Hill has been targeted due to his past unwillingness to apologize to Hill, as well as accusations from fellow Democrats who were in Congress at the time who said that the former vice president was not even planning to allow Hill's testimony before a group of furious Democratic congresswoman marched to his office and demanded he reconsider.

"We were so upset that they weren't even going to let her testify. And remember, [Biden] was the chairman," former Rep. Pat Schroeder (D-Colo.) said last month on CNN.

Hill said last month that she was unsatisfied with Biden's apology, which she had likened to a late acknowledgement that insufficiently addressed his ownIntel recently hosted a 100-year-old man at its virtual reality lab in Hillsboro, Oregon. Lyle Becker was a big fan of the VR flight simulator, which reminded him of the planes that he flew in World War II. That kind of first-time experience evokes a sense of wonder at the immersiveness of VR, and that’s why Kim Pallister, director of VR excellence at Intel, believes so much that VR will be a transformative medium.

While VR is off to a slow start, Pallister believes that it will catch on in the long run. Intel recently pivoted away from a tech demo that it called Project Alloy, a stand-alone VR headset, to something entirely different. The first generation of VR headsets, such as the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive,
