of oxygen treatment all the time. He then received palliative care.

His doctors diagnosed only weeks of life left and told him to take hospice, on august 12th, 2001.

Then the couple had alternative treatments to try them also and avoid the death diagnosis! They tried reiki, acupuncture and even visualization but it was all for nothing. Barb managed these well for the breast cancer, but for him it was not efficient.

Their daughter, Corine and her husband John Malanca analyzed the cannabis as cure for Stan.

Barb said that both Corine and John researched the medical cannabis and were afraid, since Stan was almost anorexic and had nausea all the time. Corine advised the medical cannabis with coconut oil. It is a form of a yellow capsule and Stan started thesein November 2011. At first he took 1/3 capsule in mornings, and then 2 weeks later he quit the oxygen doctors gave him.

Stan tried the cannabis and he had only things to gain , nothing to lose. He added that he had no hesitation. He was dying and this was the last resort.

His turnaround

In few weeks, he improved a lot and gained weight. He slept better and got stronger. He even threw his walker cane and the oxygen too and got into workout classes. It was amazing. After few months of the cannabis treatment he checked the MRI again.

Barb said that in January 27th, 2013 he got the results of the brain MRI. It was AMAZING. Metastasis were gone! The doctor thought this was a miracle. They now


used it for healing for even 22 issues. It was written in papyrus 1500 BC and by those that made the pyramids, they made stamina greater with garlic.

Ancient Greeks also were in favor of garlic, infections and even lung or blood problems, up to bug bites and leprosy.

Romans used to give it to soldiers for endurance and even Nero took it by recommendation from his own medicine expert.

The best part is that garlic increases antioxidants inside. Known as Allium sativa, it was famous for virus and bacteria fighting. Louis Pasteur in 1858 noted that some bacteria died in contact with the garlic. Middle Ages and onward, garlic was famous for wounds and stopping infections. Russians called it the Russian penicillin.

An outraged visiting bishop had her reburied outside the church soon after and John Speed later reported that Rosamund’s tomb was placed in the chapter house, inscribed with a cheeky rhyme:

Donald Trump called Glenn Beck's endorsement of Ted Cruz a "sad answer" to Sarah Palin's endorsement. | AP Photo Trump mocks Cruz's plan to campaign with ‘wacko’ Glenn Beck

Donald Trump mocked Glenn Beck's planned appearances with Ted Cruz in Iowa in the coming days, portraying it as a "sad answer" to Sarah Palin's endorsement of his own candidacy earlier this week.

"Wacko @glennbeck is a sad answer to the @SarahPalinUSA endorsement that Cruz so desperately wanted," Trump tweeted Thursday morning. "Glenn is a failing, crying, lost soul!"

Appearing in Ames, Iowa, on Tuesday, Trump earned the backing of former Alaska Gov. Palin, who had supported Cruz in his 2012 Senate campaign. For his part, Cruz has shrugged off Palin's endorsement of Trump as "her prerogative" and that he would remain"a big, big fan" of hers.

Beck and Cruz will hit the trail together to attend rallies organized by the pro-Cruz super PAC Keep the Promise in seven different towns between Saturday and Monday, hitting up Ankeny, Dike, New Hartford, Waterloo, Maquoketa, Manchester and Independence, according to The Des Moines Register.

Trump then retweeted messages from supporters, one of which featured a digitally manipulated image of a balding Cruz and the other referencing Beck's event at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2014 in which he and Republican members of Congress, including Cruz, handed out soccer balls, teddy bears and hot meals to undocumented child immigrants.

"@AmericanAsPie: @glennbeck @SarahPalinUSA Remember when Glenn gave out gifts to ILLEGAL ALIENS at crossing the border? Me too!" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 21, 2016


to seduce anyone happy to succumb to the iconography of late-’30s-early-’40s design and the hokey pleasures of wartime melodrama. A magnificent Hindenburg III airship approaches New York City and docks at the tip of the Empire State Building. Cloak-and-dagger mischief quickly ensues, with ace reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) summoned to Radio City Music Hall in a stunningly rendered sequence that unspools during a showing of “The Wizard of Oz” (Metro classic never actually played there).

Six eminent German scientists from a pre-World War I group called Unit 11 have gone missing, and the seventh, Dr. Jennings (Trevor Baxter), enlists Polly’s help. But, an air raid interrupts, presaging an attack on the city that sees several Iron Giant-sized robots trudging through Midtown with mayhem in mind.

The only thing to10 minutes — and because it gives him the ability to withstand space travel while wearing only his normal flying gear. Being able to execute tight turns around a Manhattan street corner in his P-40 Warhawk is one kind of license, but suddenly becoming Superman is quite another; with no rules or limits, the action becomes arbitrary and rather meaningless.

Along the way is a nifty interlude during which Sky Captain and Polly stop at a most unusual outpost of the Royal Air Force; from one of a series of giant platforms suspended in the air — they resemble a cross between an aircraft carrier and a helicopter — a black eye-patched woman named Franky (Angelina Jolie) presides over a squadron of amphibious planes.

husband and wife. The parties have designated the evidence that they desired reported, and the judge has made findings of material facts.
The male respondent married one Germaine Verrette at Andover in this Commonwealth in 1947, and obtained a decree nisi from her in the Probate Court for Essex County on November 2, 1950. That decree became absolute on May 3, 1951. Fraser and Mary Jane Bigbee, both residents of this Commonwealth, went to Salem, New Hampshire, on December 1, 1950, and were married there. They returned to this Commonwealth on the same day and lived here together until Fraser left her in January, 1954. A child was born on April 9, 1951. The petitioner met Fraser while he was living with his second wife, learned the circumstances connectedwith his marriage with that wife, and married him on May 11, 1954, at Barnstable. The judge found that Mary Jane believed that Fraser had been divorced and was free to marry her in New Hampshire on December 1, 1950, that they lived together as husband and wife, in good faith on her part, until January, 1954, when he left her, and that the marriage of the petitioner and Fraser was invalid.
Mary Jane testified that before their marriage Fraser had told her that he expected his divorce case would come up in the fall of 1950, and that as soon as he had secured it "we were going to be married in New Hampshire, because he said we couldn't get married in Massachusetts, but it was *6 all


right to get married in New Hampshire"; that he told her that he would have to wait a six months' period in Massachusetts "but he said it was all right to go to New Hampshire, and I went up there in good faith"; that she knew at that time that she could not marry him here but she thought she could marry there and they could then return to this State and live together; and that she believed what Fraser had told her as his reason for their going to New Hampshire to be married.
It is a well settled rule of evidence that a party is bound by his testimony concerning his knowledge, motives, beliefs, purposes, feelings, and other similar subject matters of which he alone may beEd.) c. 207, § 6, applies where, as here, one of the parties learns from the other that the latter is prohibited from marrying here within six months of the time he has been granted a divorce and that in order to circumvent our laws it is necessary to have the ceremony performed in another State.
An attempt by residents of this Commonwealth to avoid her laws through the expedient of a marriage ceremony in another State is not the "good faith" to which special consideration is extended by that section. Gardner v. Gardner, 232 Mass. 253, 258. In that case the parties had gone to New York to be married, and it was said by this court at page 257, "If they went to New York, both knowing


of the *8 impediment to their marriage in this Commonwealth and with a purpose to avoid the force of the laws of this Commonwealth and to return here to live, then that marriage would be void here." That statement is precisely applicable to the present case.
A few words will serve to make plain the difference between the case last cited and the present case. One Rosella Gardner obtained a divorce from her husband Horace on January 16, 1901, but in November, 1900, he under an assumed name went through a marriage ceremony in New York with one Sadie, then a young school girl eighteen years of age. She learned of Horace's real name in April, 1901, and separated from him. Later she joined Horace in this Commonwealth andin the law, legitimatizes the children and leads to the protection of the moral welfare of the community."
In the Gardner case it appeared that the wife of the second marriage went out of this Commonwealth to evade R.L.c. 151, § 7, a predecessor of G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 207, § 7, which required the consent of parents of a girl under eighteen to marry. The wife in that case went from this Commonwealth to New York where such consent was not required. At page 258 it was said by Chief Justice Rugg, "The good faith of a party to such a marriage ceremony is a fact. In reaching a conclusion, the point to be ascertained is whether there is actual honesty of purpose. The words `good faith' in


Nova Southeastern University (NSU), however, sounds like it's eager to make a difference in this field.Dr. Klimas was known at the federal advisory panel for CFS (CFSAC) for her ability to see large opportunities and that hasn’t changed. She pictures the Institute as a hub of collaboration and innovation and as a partner in a national/international clinical trials network. (The idea of a formal CFS Clinical Trials Network is in the air. When Kim McCleary (CAA) called for development of such a network at the last CFSAC meeting, she pointed out that several pieces of the infrastructure needed to build it were in fact developed during the government’s response to XMRV.)Dr. Klimas also held out the possibility of the specialist ME/CFS clinic at NSU expanding to the otheris not the only one.

Over the past years, it seems that a warped understanding of Buddhism has arisen in Burma, mixed with extremist nationalism and populism, a lethal cocktail that has led to an outpouring of hatred against the “other”. This is in keeping with the horrific trends around the world, and is in part fuelled by fear of the global rise of Islamist intolerance and terror. While until recently Burma had few problems with radical Islamism, by tugging the tail of the tiger it may well have provoked one.

The failure of the international community to respond adequately to the latest potential genocide may well fuel more radicalisation of Muslims, both in Burma and elsewhere, further compounding the problem. In the 1990s, I saw for myself how the


combination of the Burma army and politicised Buddhist monks have lured Christian children to monasteries with a promise of education, only to forcibly convert them into novice Buddhist monks.

The response from the international community? Pathetic minimalism at best, apathetic inaction more often. Indeed, the few people who have spoken boldly have mostly been religious and civil society leaders. Pope Francis, who will become the first pontiff ever to visit Burma later this month, has spoken out repeatedly. Burma’s Cardinal Charles Bo has been one of the most courageous defenders of the Rohingyas and other Muslims in the country. Their voices, as leaders of one religious community defending the rights and dignity of another, are vital. But they deserve support from governments and political leaders around the world, notUnited Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is stepping down, according to a report on Tuesday.

President Trump has accepted Haley’s resignation, but the timing of her departure is unclear, Axios reported.

Former President of The World Bank Makes Stunning Confession

The former President of The World Bank, James Wolfensohn, makesstunning confessions as he addresses graduate students at Stanford University. He reveals the inside hand of world domination from past, to present and into the future. The speech was made January 11, 2010. The first video to the right is an excerpt of the full speech. When watching the first video one might say the next 19 minutes may open your mind to a very deliberate world.

Wolfensohn tells the grad students what's coming, "A Tectonic Shift" in wealth from the West to the East. Wolfensohn claimed that in the next 40 years, a global power shift will see today's leading economic countries drop from having 80% of the world's income to 35%. But he doesn't tell the students that his institution, The World Bank, is directing and channeling


from minor technical issues, the rotation went according to plan with the sub remaining completely safe and intact,” Mike Drews, Director of Clemson University’s Warren Lasch Conservation Center, said.This project would not have been possible without the generous support and expertise of J. A. King & Co., Parker Rigging, Inc., Detyens Shipyard and the entire Hunley team who worked tirelessly in support of this effort. The Hunley ProjectOn the evening of February 17, 1864, the H. L. Hunley became the world’s first successful combat submarine by sinking the USS Housatonic. After signaling to shore that the mission had been accomplished, the submarine and her crew of eight mysteriously vanished. Lost at sea for over a century, the Hunley was located in 1995 by Clive Cussler’s National Underwater andMarine Agency (NUMA). The innovative hand-cranked vessel was raised in 2000 and delivered to the Warren Lasch Conservation Center, where an international team of scientists are at work to conserve the submarine for future generations and piece together clues to solve the mystery of her disappearance. The Hunley Project is conducted through a partnership with the Clemson University Restoration Institute, South Carolina Hunley Commission, Naval Historical Center, and Friends of the Hunley.


8 September 2009, Turnbull was awarded an honorary doctorate from Buckinghamshire New University in recognition of his charity work within the Buckinghamshire community.

In May 2010, he published The Bad Beekeepers Club, a comedy book about the ups and downs of beekeeping.

In March 2018, Turnbull stated he had been diagnosed the previous November with prostate cancer.

Late Friday morning, January 9, 1987, Officer Britt observed a blue Corvette exceeding the posted speed limit by 27 miles an hour.   Britt attempted to stop the vehicle;  however, a high speed chase ensued on interstate I-35 at speeds in excess of 95 miles per hour.   Live Oak Police Lieutenant, Gary Hopper, and the police dispatcher maintained radio contact during the chase.   According to the official log book, at 11:28 A.M. Britt first made radio contact, and reported that he was traveling southbound on I-35 pursuing a blue Corvette.

The blue Corvette, which was being driven by Kenneth Mouille, exited the highway at Walzem Road, and


under arrest.   Britt then attempted to handcuff Mouille.   Although Mouille pushed and shoved, Officer Britt eventually managed to handcuff Mouille, despite his uncooperativeness.

6
Just after Britt handcuffed Mouille, Leroy Liberda and Laurie Rollins entered the front office.   Liberda and Laurie Rollins audaciously approached Britt to within arm's length, screaming at him.   Britt was faced with a volatile situation and had to make an instinctive decision.   He pulled out his revolver and admonished everyone to back off.

Liberda contends that Britt shouted expletives, cocked his gun, shoved it in Liberda's neck, and then threatened to blow his head off.   Britt contends that the gun did not touch Liberda.   As a result, Liberda jumped back into a doorknob and allegedly suffered debilitating back and leg injuries.1  Simultaneously, Liberda also urinated in his pants.   Britt concedes that the sight of the gun caused Liberda to jump backwards into the door.   Approximately three minutes elapsed from the time Britt entered the office until the time he emerged with Mouille.

Once outside the building, Britt placed Mouille in the backseat of his patrol car and contacted headquarters.   At 11:36 A.M., Britt informed the dispatcher that Mouille was in custody.   Two minutes later, at 11:38 A.M., Britt informed the dispatcher the street address for L & R.   Minutes after Mouille was placed in custody, Lieutenant Hopper arrived at L & R.

The steel ribs arching over New York City’s newest transit station have already become a familiar sight for the city’s residents and tourists. Now, after seven years of delays, the striking new World Trade Center Transportation Hub will finally open this month in Lower Manhattan.

When the Twin Towers fell during the 9/11 attacks, the train station below that housed the subway and New Jersey rail was also destroyed. A new station was proposed to help restore vital transit connections for the region and create an awe-inspiring architectural centerpiece to the redeveloped World Trade Center Memorial Site.

Passengers can now enter into what is a cathedral-like space that allows natural light to filter down onto the commuters below. The station also has a giant skylight, named The Oculus, which willbe opened on warm days and every September 11, turning what might have been a dark, crowded hallway into an open-air public plaza.

The Hub was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who is known for similar soaring white structures... and soaring budgets. The project took about twice as much time and twice as much money to complete, for a total cost of $4 billion.

When complete, the Hub will be the most expensive train station in the world, with a corridor below it that is widely considered to be the most expensive hallway on the planet. The station cost even more than One World Trade Center, the new tallest building in the US, which is right next door.

Regardless of all the budgetary issues—or perhaps because of them—the World Trade


Design and engaged more than 250 employees in the revamp process, from store managers to office clerks to top-level management. They broke the business into segments and did internal focus groups. And they conducted market research studies, customer surveys and external focus groups.

"The goal was not just to define a new store," said Pierce. "The goal was really to define more of a culture and find the direction we would go in the future. The store was a piece of that — a major piece — because ultimately it is what the consumer is going to see."

A critical part of making that future a reality was secured in May when MAPCO's parent company, Delek US Holdings, became a publicly traded company. Through its initial public offering, Delek raisedcompared to the existing store average of about 2,500 square feet, according to Dana Young, MAPCO's vice president of real estate.

The extra space has allowed the chain to beef up such categories as beer, cigarettes and other tobacco products, candy, ice cream and general merchandise.

The store's design is intended to convey the message that MAPCO Mart is a destination for food. The design team tried to make the store look like a sit-down restaurant from the outside in, starting with the stone and brick facade and using warmer earth tones inside. There's exterior patio seating and two interior seating areas — counter style along a wall and bar-top tables in the center — which Young said also lends to the restaurant feel. On average, about 35 percent of


each MAPCO Mart is dedicated to the chain's new proprietary foodservice program, Grille Marx.

Grille Marx is a far cry from the foodservice at traditional MAPCO Express stores, which consists of coffee, packaged sandwiches, a hot dog program at about 180 locations, and an on-premise chicken program at 19 stores, said MAPCO's director of foodservice Jerry Weiner, who left Rutter's Farm Stores in January 2005. In just six months, he developed the foodservice program for MAPCO Marts.

As the name suggests, the Grille Marx program is based on the grill. It would've been easy to prepare the food in the back, out of sight from customers, but Weiner told CSNews the grill and the fryers are all part of the theater and help to set the tone of a restaurant.Mart," Pierce explained. "But there will still be some MAPCO Express stores."

Since December 2005, four MAPCO Marts have been opened. By the end of this year, a total of 10 new MAPCO Marts will be in operation, four through ground-up construction and six raze and rebuilds. Additionally, 10 existing MAPCO Express stores will be retrofitted to the new concept, said real estate chief Young.

Nine new MAPCO Marts and 10 retrofits are planned for 2007, as are at least 15 re-images.

For 2006, all MAPCO Marts are being placed in the Nashville market. After that, though, MAPCO has its eyes trained on other territories for expansion, including Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. It is the most aggressive expansion MAPCO has undertaken, according to Young.

Anchorage considers bid for 2026 Winter Olympics

AP

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's largest city began considering Tuesday whether to mount another bid for the Winter Olympics after narrowly losing efforts to host the 1992 and 1994 games.

A 23-member exploratory committee, which includes four Alaska Olympians, met for the first time to delve into the finances and mechanics of pursuing the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Among the members was cross-country skier Holly Brooks, who texted into the meeting while training on a glacier.

"We still feel, in fact more confidently than ever, that Anchorage has the capability, the facilities and most of all, the spirit and the willingness to be the host city," Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan said at the meeting.

After losing its first bid for the 1992 games to Albertville, France, Anchoragecame in third for the '94 games, held in Lillehammer, Norway.

The most recent Winter Olympics held in the U.S. were staged in Salt Lake City in 2002.

To lend credence to a possible bid for the 2026 games, committee member and two-time U.S. Olympic cross country skier James Southam announced that Anchorage will host the U.S. National Cross Country Championships and SuperTour Finals in March.

Southam said it would be "just amazing" to hold the Olympics in his hometown.

"When you host these kinds of national events, it really just increases our resume, our capacity to put in this bid for the 2026 Olympics," Mayor Sullivan added.

Venues are the biggest challenge for Anchorage or any city seeking to host the Olympics, since the facilities must be built to host more spectators


than they would for local events.

"How do you pay for it, and what do you do with it once the games are over?" Sullivan said.

He believes Anchorage has the other logistics covered: It's already an international city for travelers, has thousands of hotel rooms, and — possibly its most important quality — is well situated for prime-time TV audiences.

Morning competitions could be shown live during prime time in Europe, and late afternoon events would be live during prime time in the eastern and central U.S.

Anchorage's bid for the previous games did not rely on any public financing. Sullivan said that's the current goal as well, with the hope that television revenue, merchandising and private contributions from corporations would cover the costs.

Since the prior bids, Anchorage, like a lotfeet away. The atmosphere was about to become awkward at best or toxic at worst.

By the next morning, after a meeting with players, coaches and the athletic director, order was restored. Hoffner promised to be a better communicator and less of a stickler than before his leave, assuring the team he was committed solely to its success. Players said their initial revolt was not personal, only bold support for Keen.

“The abruptness of the situation lent for some difficulty and challenges and the fear of not being able to have their same coach,” Hoffner said in an interview last month, proceeding to spell out his hopes for the season: “Trust one another, believe in one another and have a common purpose that we’re working toward the same thing and


has proudly seen an increase in MSU interest among local high school prospects: “It’s like a goal. Before it wasn’t as much on the map.”

National attention for Minnesota State has usually come from the Vikings, when the NFL team holds training camp in this riverside city’s campus on the edge of prairie farmland. Or from confusion with the fictional team led by Craig T. Nelson in the 1990s sitcom “Coach.”

Then there was the drama.

Hoffner, recently given a new contract with a raise, was ordered off the practice field one day in August 2012. With the abuse scandal at Penn State as a backdrop, Hoffner was placed on leave when naked videos of his children were found by a technician repairing his university-issued phone. Keen took over, and theMavericks had the best season in program history, reaching the national semifinals.

Hoffner contended the images were simply of kids acting silly after a bath. The case against him was dismissed by a county judge. The school, which reassigned Hoffner to an administrative role while conducting its own investigation, fired him the following spring.

With his family nearly out of money, Hoffner accepted the head coach position last season at Minot State, an NSIC school in North Dakota. The faculty union for MSU staff filed a grievance on his behalf, and an arbitrator ruled for immediate reinstatement. So Hoffner moved back to Minnesota to retake his old post. Keen got an FBS job as an assistant at Eastern Michigan, but most of the staff stayed intact.

Bulldogs drop last contest at Hawaii

HONOLULU, HI -- Kodi Augustus recorded his sixth double-double of the year and Jalen Steele had a career-high 14 points.

Hawaii, however, jumped out to a 12-0 lead and never looked back en route to posting a 68-57 victory on Saturday in the fifth-place game of the Diamond Head Classic.

The Rainbow Warriors (9-3) led by as many as 22 points in the second frame at 51-29 before the Bulldogs put together a late run to close the deficit.

MSU, playing without suspended forwards Elgin Bailey and Renardo Sidney, now stand at 8-5 on the year and leaves for Las Vegas on Monday morning to face St. Mary''s on Dec. 29 in the Shamrock Shootout.

And because of the absence of Sidney and Bailey, sophomore Wendell Lewislawsuit.

St. Jude Medical’s stock fell sharply two weeks ago, amid the accusations. But since then, the stock price has slowly risen. During that time, independent researchers from the University of Michigan have questioned MedSec’s allegations and called them inconclusive.

In response, MedSec had said that the University of Michigan researchers failed to properly recreate the attacks it used to test products from St. Jude Medical.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is also investigating the issue but has said affected patients should still continue using the devices as instructed.

Zscaler Australia toasts the channel at Xmas drinks

Zscaler recently hosted its partner update and Christmas drinks event in Australia where more than 20 partners attended the event at the QT hotel in the Sydney. The event provided a forum for the company to update its Australian partners on the company's strategy for cloud security in the year ahead. It was also a great opportunity for the company to introduce Sean Kopelke as country manager forand perhaps with more delicacy, in the breast of a female” – at that moment in 1755, perhaps, the word “poetess” is as derogatory as it seems in a private letter of 1748 quoted by the O.E.D. Though clearly diminutive in Coleridge’s poem “To Matilda Bentham,” the term is – temporarily, at least – rendered respectable by Alexander Dyce in his Specimens of British Poetesses first published in 1825; the poor Scottish Poetess Susannah Hawkins applies it approvingly to herself in 1829 (v). The laudatory sense of the word, Aimée Boutin shows in her essay included in this special issue makes it across the channel into France in the 1830s. As a term of approbation, both in England and abroad, the word has a short life: while George


Sands insists upon the poetess’s value in 1841, she was a bit behind her time. There was a backlash against poetess poetry in France by the late 1830s and similarly, in England, the market for Gift Books, the medium that sustained the poetess, had dried up by 1848 when Lady Blessington had to sell her house to pay off debts incurred in producing the Book of Beauty.

In America, the word begins earlier than in Britain to do some rather interesting work: it is first used primarily to designate Phillis Wheatley at the moment that “the African Poetess” addresses a poem to Washington in 1776. Because of that history, the word begins a life of profound paradox: as an addressee of Washington during the Revolution, Wheatley is “the Americanare Poe, Keats, and William Cullen Bryant Romantic poets or poetesses (see Richards)? Even as these men, along with women poets such as Barbauld, slip back and forth between writing high Romantic and sentimental poetess poetry, these two traditions – more, two kinds of subjectivity – seem radically at odds.

The Poetess and the Canon

At the moment of the literary canon’s inception during the Romantic period, with the emergence of the first canonizing anthologies – that is, the first poetry collections explicitly designed to encapsulate, in a rather small space, “The” history of English literature [14] – at that very moment, a shadow tradition emerges in the medium of the gift book: not anthological but miscellaneous; not historical and historicizing, but contemporaneous. Ina Ferris describes the reviews as establishing


published in Boston (1826). She was not the only one. Phillis Wheatley first published in London in 1773. And beyond the business of publication, poetesses seemed to be in conversation with each other. The poetess Lydia Sigourney was called “the American Hemans” (Haight 80-1), a designation at once erecting and overleaping national boundaries.

In its commercialism, poetess poetry performs what Deleuze and Guattari call “the first sort of deterritorialization” or expansion out from national boundaries by using “a vehicular . . . language, a language of commercial exchange” (23). The coin on this international market is, again, sentiment. Contrast this exchangeability of sentiments to what Paul Gilroy calls “the slave sublime”: a transatlantic aesthetic trying to represent the terrible sufferings that Africans experienced while being transported from Africa toand need only be outlined: Madron and defendant were both interested in a corporation called Engle- Madron Company. Defendant was vice president and treasurer of the corporation. He apparently took no active part in the running of the corporation, but owned $10,000 worth of its stock, had loaned it $17,000, was the guarantor of several obligations of the firm and gave it financial advice.
 In September 1959 Madron asked Wood for a loan of $10,000 which he needed for the corporation.  [fn. 1] As security he *293 gave Wood an assignment of his interest in the estate of one Anna B. Stephenson. Defendant was the executor of that estate.
 Several duplicate originals of the assignment were executed.  [fn. 2] Wood received one copy, defendant another. On


February 20, 1960, Wood and defendant had a conversation. Wood told defendant that he had lost his copy of the assignment and requested him to "record" defendant's copy. Defendant said that he was going to go to court early the following week and that he would take care of it. Wood said "I wish you would" and defendant replied "there ain't nothing to worry about. There is plenty of money to take care of it, I will guarantee that." Wood and defendant had been friends for over 15 years and had been in business together.
 The assignment was never recorded. Partial distributions of the estate were made in December 1960 and in March 1961. A final distribution was made in May 1961. The money distributed in March wasonly 57 games. He also drew nearly twice as many walks (54) as strikeouts (29) in his final season in college. The main takeaway from his college numbers is that Goldschmidt was an animal in college, but right-handed first baseman are not exactly highly sought after in the draft, which likely explains, at least partially, why he wasn’t selected until the 8th round. Additionally, according to minorleagueball.com, scouts were “concerned” about his body (6’3″, 245 lbs) at the time of the draft and thought he would have trouble with MLB pitching (to be fair, the Southland conference isn’t a juggernaut as far as college baseball conferences go).

After being drafted, Goldschmidt was assigned to rookie ball, which only makes sense if the scouts pegged Goldschmidt as a bad prospect,


because drafted college juniors tend to debut in full-season ball. No matter, because in rookie ball Goldschmidt did what he does best: rake. In 74 games as a 21-year-old (old for a prospect in rookie ball), Goldy triple-slashed .334/.408/.638 with 18 HR in 337 PA. He struck out 22.4% of the time while walking at a very good 10.9% clip, showing good plate discipline for a 21-year-old scouts feared would have trouble with more advanced pitching.

The D-Backs front office rewarded him with a promotion to full-season A-ball to begin the 2010 season, but pundits around the game paid Goldschmidt no respect; Goldy ranked as the #13 prospect in the Diamondbacks farm system after the 2009 season. He proved the doubters wrong by absolutely destroying minor league pitching innext: Goldschmidt gets called up to begin the year in the majors in 2012 and the rest is history. Goldy has triple-slashed .302/.403/.534 with 165 HR and 115 SB over six seasons in the majors plus four months in 2017. He’s won two Gold Gloves, two Silver Sluggers, finished second in MVP voting twice, and has been a 5-time All-Star selection. A staggering 14.2% of his plate appearances have ended in a walk (while only 21.9% have ended in a strikeout) and, despite scouts saying he would not be able to bring positive value on the base paths, has an 81% career stolen base success rate.

If I had to pick three words to describe Goldschmidt they would be these: he is fantastic. He is easily the best first


selected as an All-American in his junior year of college. Hoskins, again, like Goldschmidt, is also a right-handed first baseman, so he wasn’t highly coveted in the draft, though the fact that he was drafted three rounds higher has to mean something.

Hoskins, unlike Goldschmidt, struggled in his first season in pro ball. Hoskins was assigned to short-season A-ball after the 2014 draft to begin his pro career, and triple-slashed .237/.311/.408 in 70 games, which isn’t awful, but certainly leaves a lot to be desired. He hit only 9 HR, a far cry from his 12 HR in 59 college games, and he struck out nearly three times as much as he walked (19.8% and 7.7%, respectively). For a 21-year-old, the numbers were not all that special, because hehave to Goldschmidt that isn’t already in the major leagues. Hoskins looks like a franchise cornerstone in the making, and has the possibility of joining the MVP conversation as soon as 2018, provided he can build on what he has already accomplished in the minor leagues.

EDIT (Thursday, Aug 10, 11:37 AM): According to Phillies beat reporter Todd Zolecki, Rhys Hoskins has been recalled from AAA. He will likely start in left field tonight against the New York Mets in Citizens Bank Park.

Harry Triguboff pours cold water on build-to-rent tax break push

Harry Triguboff, the country's biggest owner of rental apartments, said developers such as Lendlease, Mirvac and Stockland wanted a low-tax vehicle to invest in build-to-rent housing because they were trying to drum up capital at a time of harder access to funds.

Developer Mr Triguboff, the country's second-richest person, who also owns a portfolio of more than 4000 apartments that he rents out - separately from the serviced apartment business of his company Meriton - said the current build-to-rent drive was pushed by his local rivals and he had not seen any evidence that foreign institutions were asking for it.

"They want… a tax break," Meriton boss Mr Triguboff told The Australian Financial Review.

Tuesday, February 11, 2014

An advanced persistent threat (APT) known as Careto, or “The Mask,” has been identified by Kaspersky Lab researchers – who have also suggested the cyber-espionage operation dating back to 2007 could be a state-sponsored campaign.

Government institutions, diplomatic offices and embassies, research institutions, private equity firms, activists, and energy, oil and gas companies are among the groups being targeted in 31 countries, according to a Kaspersky Lab blog post, which adds that while the greatest number of victims were in Morocco, several were in the United States and United Kingdom.

Although all command-and-control servers were observed as offline starting in January, researchers were able to identify more than 380 unique victims at more than 1,000 Internet Protocol addresses by using an algorithm developed in-house.

Because not all command-and-controlApril 30, 1971; it also charged a number of the defendants with substantive violations of the narcotic laws.  This was criminal case No. 1971-72 in the District Court.  On January 31, 1973 the United States Attorney procured a superseding indictment, criminal No. 99-73, naming the twelve original defendants and one additional defendant, our appellee Turner.

11
On January 5, 1973 District Judge Gesell entered a pretrial order setting the case for trial June 11, 1973 and reserving six weeks for the trial.  Among other things the order directed that on or before February 20, 1973 the United States provide, for inspection by the defendants and their counsel, the transcript of all grand jury proceedings relating to the indictment; an order issued February 21, 1973 amended this provision


to provide that grand jury transcripts be furnished on or before April 16, 1973.

12
On motion for the government the District Court dismissed the first indictment, criminal No. 1971-72, on February 26, 1973.  On March 29, 1973 the government orally moved to dismiss the second indictment, criminal No. 99-73, returned January 31, 1973.  As reasons for the dismissal the prosecutor advanced (1) "grave deterioration in the health of a key witness" who would probably not "be able to appear in Court at the time scheduled for trial" and (2) the discovery by the government that another important witness was unreliable.  The court granted the motion and dismissed the indictment.

13
On January 31, 1974 two defendants filed a "Motion for Clarification" of the order of March 29, 1973dismissing the superseding indictment.  The motion asked the court to specify that the dismissal was with prejudice.  In response the court, in an order entered February 14, 1974, stated in part:

14
The case was not dismissed with prejudice.  The Government informed the Court the case would not be rein- stituted in this District.  The Court was of the impression that the possibility of proceeding in Florida or elsewhere still existed but not on an identical indictment.

15
This was not a dismissal for lack of speedy trial or want of diligent prosecutorial efforts.  No prejudice to any defendant is now asserted.

16
On December 27, 1973, nine months after the dismissal of the District of Columbia case, the government procured a third indictment in the Southern District of


Florida.  Indicted were six of the defendants who had been named in both the original District of Columbia indictment returned October 26, 1972 and in the second District of Columbia indictment of January 31, 1973.  Also indicted was Turner, a defendant in the second District of Columbia indictment.  To this list were added defendants Saxon, Roque and Cartaya.  The Florida indictment alleged substantially the same offenses charged in the two District of Columbia indictments.  All ten Florida defendants are appellees in the case now before us.

17
The Florida case was set for trial at Miami beginning May 13, 1974; however, the defendants filed motions to transfer the proceeding to the District of Columbia, pursuant to Rule 21(b), Fed.R.Crim.P., and motions to dismiss for lackof a speedy trial.

18
On April 25, 1974 Chief Judge Fulton of the Southern District of Florida held a hearing and heard testimony and argument on the motions.  A special agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration, identified as the "case agent", who had been in charge of the case for approximately two years, was called as a witness.  He testified that when the indictment was returned in the District of Columbia the investigation by his agency was complete, "everything (the agency) had was presented to the Grand Jury at that time", and the agency was opposed to the dismissal of the case.  As the agent put it "(w)e should have gone forward."  According to him the case presented to the prosecutor in Florida was essentially


the same as the case presented to the prosecutor in the District of Columbia and the same information given to the grand jury in the District of Columbia was presented to the grand jury in Florida.  The case was brought to Florida, said the agent, because the United States Attorney in Washington "did not feel that he could proceed".

19
It appeared that the "deterioration in the health" of the witness mentioned by the prosecutor in Washington had been caused by multiple gun-shot wounds which the witness suffered before the return of the second District of Columbia indictment.  Notwithstanding the shooting, the decision to present the case for reindictment in Florida was made immediately after the dismissal of the second indictment and the witness was available to testifyin the Florida case.  The record also disclosed that six of the ten defendants, including those alleged to be principals in the conspiracy, resided in or near the District of Columbia, and that most of the alleged overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy were committed in the District of Columbia.  Finally, it appeared that the government in a pleading filed in Washington had opposed the part of Judge Gesell's pretrial order that required the government to divulge substantially in advance of trial the names of its witnesses and to provide the defense with transcripts of the grand jury testimony of these witnesses.  Dismissal of the indictment came before the prosecutor complied with this direction, and of course made compliance unnecessary.

20
On the evidence adduced at


the hearing Chief Judge Fulton found:

21
that in seeking the indictment of these defendants in the Southern District of Florida the government was "Court Shopping."  It became quite evident from the evidence that the agency in question brought this matter to the Grand Jury in Southern Florida, believing that government counsel and the Court would be more favorable to the government's cause than in the District of Columbia.

22
Chief Judge Fulton concluded that the case should be transferred to the District of Columbia, in view of the residence of the defendants, the location of the witnesses, and the situs of most of the alleged overt acts.  Accordingly the judge transferred the case, along with the motions to dismiss, with the suggestion that if the case were assigned tothe same judge who dismissed the second District of Columbia case "he should be better qualified than any other judge to resolve the speedy trial issue which is pending."

23
After the case returned to the District of Columbia the motions to dismiss for want of a speedy trial came on for hearing May 16, 1974, before District Judge Gesell.  He held that the government had not sustained its burden of justifying a trial after the delay of nineteen months since the original indictment was returned; that the delay had been "unconscionable" and that prejudice to the defendants was obvious.  He added that when he dismissed the second District of Columbia indictment, criminal No. 99-73, "the dismissal was definitely with prejudice as to any possibility of the reinstitution


we find that fourteen months elapsed between the filing of the first District of Columbia indictment, October 26, 1972, and the date of the Florida indictment, December 27, 1973; and eleven months passed between the date of the second District of Columbia indictment, January 31, 1973, and the return of the Florida indictment.  The appellees, Lara, Mayari, Jones, McQueen, Smith and Baylor were defendants in all three indictments.  The appellee Turner was named in the second District of Columbia indictment and in the Florida indictment.  Since the case alleged in all three indictments was the same the government must justify a delay that began to run with the filing of the District of Columbia indictments.  We hold that the government's attempt at justification hasJudge Gesell's order that the grand jury testimony and the names of witnesses be disclosed before trial.  The reasons advanced for the dismissal were insubstantial.  The discovered unreliability of one witness was a difficulty not uncommon in criminal prosecutions and certainly not a reason to abandon the entire case.  The injured witness had been shot before January 31, 1973, when the second District of Columbia indictment was returned.  Had he not recovered sufficiently to appear at trial on June 11, 1973 the court no doubt would have entertained a motion for a reasonable continuance. The prosecutor did not choose to follow this course, but immediately after the dismissal on March 29, 1973 and in spite of the incapacity of the witness, he made the


was the able district judge, could reach any other conclusion.

36
What we have said disposes of the appeals of Lara, Mayari, Jones, McQueen, Smith, Baylor and Turner.  The judgments dismissing the indictment as to them will be affirmed.

37
The cases of Saxon, Roque and Cartaya stand on a different footing.  They were named as defendants for the first time in the Florida indictment of December 27, 1973.  Noting that Roque and Cartaya had been "recently added to the list of defendants" the District Court observed that they had "really no clear basis for a speedy trial motion".  In this the District Court was correct, for the right to a speedy trial does not accrue to a defendant until he has been accused.  United States v.witnesses because of multiple gunshot wounds, to move this case to the more salubrious climate of Florida.  And, the "unreliable witness" may have become more reliable once removed from these environs.  Before and after the time of these indictments there were other cases in the District of Columbia in which a number of witnesses had to be protected from assassination, one or two unsuccessfully, and some judges were likewise afforded armed protection.  If the prosecution felt that their witnesses could be protected better in Florida or at least would feel less intimidated once away from the District of Columbia, I think it was in the public interest for the prosecution to move the case there.  The Government's fault, in my judgment, lies solely in


That was the view of Paul Jenkins following the debut of the centre half in the U23 game against Brighton on Monday night.

The summer signing is working his way back from a cruciate ligament injury suffered in January and the 45 minutes he played at the Riverside was his first since surgery.

"It was my first viewing of Bernardo," says the Lead Coach of the U23s.

"The approach in the dressing room from both players (he replaced Dani Ayala at half-time) was first class. Very professional.

"On the pitch it was one of the best central defending 45 minutes I've seen in a long time. The way he headed the ball, the way he attacked the ball, his leading of the line and positional play were outstanding. I take my hatoff to him."

What was clear from the start Espinosa's vocal contribution.

"He was a quiet as a mouse in on the bench," says Jenkins. "But when he went on he understood everything we wanted and I am 100 per cent convinced the Boro fans are going to love this fella."

Espinosa played the second half of a game that had seen Ayala play the opening 45 as he continued his return from an injury picked up early in the summer.

He will be assessed this week, but Jenkins reported that he seemed to come through the game ok.

The game ended goalless, with Jenkins commenting: "It was nice to be back at the Riverside. The surface was in top nick, absolutely fantastic.

"Both teams tried to play the game the right way, both


years of expansion, re-equipment and consolidation would have made it decisively stronger militarily.They were not wrong. Consider these technological and hardware advantages Pakistan had in 1965, giving it a clear military edge on the ground, in the air and over the seas:Pakistan's American-made Patton was by far the best in the subcontinent. You could argue that India's British-made Centurion was its equal, but there were two problems. One, India had too few of these heavy tanks (about a half of Pakistan's Pattons). As a result, the Indian army had to allocate these very carefully. The rest of India's tanks were Second World War Shermans, and light French AMXs. In fact, India's defensive brigade which fought the main Pakistani thrust in Chhamb had only two squadrons of AMXs. Two,no Indian tank was night-capable whereas the Patton was. The only Indian superiority was in having a larger number of infantry divisions. But, as Lt General Harbaksh Singh notes in his "War Despatches", many of these were fresh, post-1962 raisings and not yet settled or fully battle-ready.Pakistan had decidedly superior artillery and a much larger number of higher caliber US-made guns. These often tilted the balance when used in a massed profile, particularly in the open tank-infantry battles in the Sialkot sector, a fact documented well by Lt General Harbakhsh. In fact, he says that both Pakistani equipment and doctrine of artillery use were superior. More than 75 per cent of Indian casualties were caused by artillery. Pakistan also had a headstart in special/commando forces, as the Special


Services Group (SSG) was already formed.In the air, sidewinder missiles on F-86 Sabre as well as F-104 Starfighter gave Pakistan's Air Force a clear edge. IAF was still in the gun age. The first MiG-21 squadron was still coming up, and had only nine planes with pilots under conversion training. Further, F-104 was fully night-capable, as were some F-86s. India had no night-capable fighter/interceptors. This gave Pakistani bombers safer passage to Indian bases at night whereas Indian night bombers were unescorted and vulnerable to PAF defenders. With C-130 Hercules, Pakistan had a way superior transport fleet, also more capable of paratroop operations, which it tried.On the naval front, India had a larger fleet. But Pakistan was already in the submarine age with the US-gifted Ghazi. So Pakistan wasa clear dimension ahead. The Indian navy had inadequacies in sonar and submarine detection, so it wasn't entirely capable of fighting in that dimension. India's lone carrier INS Vikrant was then in dry dock, but even if it had been active, it would have had limited impact.It was with all these factors in mind that Ayub and Bhutto finally embarked on this war. Their presumptions of decisive superiority were confirmed in their minds by the poor performance of the Indian defensive brigade in the Kutch sector earlier that year. Even the IAF had avoided combat there, and Pakistanis misread that as a disinclination to fight. Coming as it did soon after 1962, Pakistan decided - rightly on paper - that this was their moment.Why did it not work


in battles at night. India gained territory across the hilly terrain in Kashmir, while losing a chunk in the plains in Chhamb.Brilliant tactical dash on the part of Pakistan ruined by incompetent execution. Pakistan, for example, stunned India on September 6 with dusk raids on its forward airbases, particularly Pathankot, where 10 frontline aircraft were destroyed on the ground, but didn't know what to do thereafter. A few losses over Halwara and Adampur, and though it had an upper hand through that war, the PAF desisted from any further daytime raids over IAF bases.No navy had the size to be able to weigh in on that war. But with the Indian navy definitely not battle-ready, the Pakistani navy wasted the opportunity with a symbolic though humiliating bombardment ofDwarka. It achieved no military purpose though.Overall, Indian forces were very resolute and efficient in defensive battles as Khem Karan showed. This was totally contrary to Pakistani mythology that "Hindu" armies wouldn't be able to resist it, particularly after India's dismal record in 1962. Strategically, Pakistan miscalculated big-time, and stupidly, by believing any provocations in Kashmir would be met with a response confined there. And once India opened the Punjab front, it had to hurriedly fall back on defence.All wars begin with miscalculation. The 1965 war was purely Pakistan's. It was their decision and initiative. It was based on a sound appreciation of relative military strengths that put the aggressor at advantage. Even politically and economically, India was going through multiple crises. But it failed for all the


reasons discussed earlier. Only Pakistan had strategic objectives in this war and it failed to achieve any. That, to some extent, answers the question: who won this war and who lost? Since Pakistan failed to achieve any objectives, it definitely lost that war. But while it had the better of the land engagements, India did not win the war militarily. It was a strategic defeat for Pakistan but a military stalemate. Shekhar Gupta hosts 'Walk the Talk' and 'Chalte Chalte' on NDTV.

My father, admittedly not a political aficionado but a devout gambler, likes to say, “Sometimes to have a little luck is a brilliant plan.” But his gut instinct was to be furious when I made the following point.

Take the story of my two grandfathers. In the 1940s, one of my grandfathers was a successful musician in a time when being a performing musician was quite a lucrative career. But with the invent of television and stereos and other means of entertainment, the market for musicians dwindled. Times got tough and he had to take another job to make ends meet. He was hard-working and he was talented. But he was financially unlucky.

21 patents owned by one or the other of two French corporations which are contesting jurisdiction of this Court: Chavanoz[2] and Arct-France. After the institution of the suit by DMRC, various other litigations were pitched, all of which have now been consolidated, with venue in the District of South Carolina.
At the outset of the litigation at least one of the patents was registered in the name of ARCT-France and the remainder in Chavanoz. It is alleged now that ownership of all the patents is in Chavanoz. Be that as it may, about half of the total group of patents originated on applications of Henri Crouzet or Charles Crouzet, principal officers of ARCT-France, and it is the contention of Duplan, et al, the plaintiffs, that they were subsequently assignedto Chavanoz as a part of a master plan to exploit the patents, in the United States and particularly in South Carolina. This plan was developed, perfected, and carried out over a period of years.
With this background, and on the basis of the record presented by the *706 parties at this stage of the proceedings, this court publishes its

FINDINGS OF FACT THE PARTIES
1. Chavanoz is Moulinage et Retorderie de Chavanoz, a French corporation with its principal place of business at Chavanoz, France. It is engaged in owning and licensing patents and collecting royalties on these patents on a world-wide basis.
2. ARCT-France is Ateliers Roannais de Construction Textiles, a French corporation with its principal place of business at Roanne, France. It manufactures and sells ARCT yarn texturing machines, sometimes


called FT machines. Its principal officers, Henri Crouzet and Charles Crouzet, allegedly originated many of the FT patents involved in this litigation. These were conveyed to Chavanoz who granted ARCT-France the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell the FT machines throughout the world. The several ARCT-France contracts, which require performance in and affect South Carolina have been reviewed by the court in the posture of exhibits. They form a basic part of the structure of the plan for marketing the ARCT machines and imposing tribute on their future operation.
3. The Duplan Corporation, Jonathan Logan, Inc., and the other yarn "throwsters" are the purchasers of these ARCT machines and are the plaintiffs in these actions asserting that the court has jurisdiction over Chavanoz and ARCT-France.
4. DMRC is Deering MillikenResearch Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deering Milliken, Inc. (DMI), and is a South Carolina patent holding and licensing corporation with its principal place of business in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It has entered into a series of contracts with Chavanoz and also with ARCT-France requiring performance in South Carolina. Copies of the contracts have been reviewed as exhibits. Chavanoz made DMRC its agent for (1) regularly procuring United States patents for the French owners, (2) policing the machines in this country so as to make certain that the purchasers signed up to pay the royalties, (3) collecting the royalties, (4) remitting the royalties (more than a million dollars a year) from South Carolina to France, (5) collecting additional know-how from the experience here in this field and transmitting


such knowhow to the French concerns, and (6) demonstrating the use of the machines in South Carolina for the customers.
5. ARCT, Inc. is a subsidiary of ARCT-France, established by it at the beginning of 1966 as sales and service agency in North America. It is a North Carolina corporation with its principal office at Greensboro, and is regularly active in business in South Carolina. Henri Crouzet, president of ARCT-France, is also president of ARCT, Inc. and a director of both. Charles Crouzet, the "directeur generale" and vice president of ARCT-France, is also a director of ARCT, Inc.
6. Before 1966, ARCT-France sold and serviced its machines in the United States through Whitin Machine Works of Massachusetts. Whitin is mentioned here because it was a party to some of thebasic contracts between Chavanoz, ARCT-France and others.
7. Another party to some of the basic contracts is Leesona Corporation of Warwick, Rhode Island. It is the only American manufacturer of competing machinery. It acquired from a partnership of alleged inventors (The Permatwist Company) certain other United States patents on the competing machinery.
8. Leo Soep, a French resident and a director of ARCT, Inc., negotiated many times on behalf of ARCT-France, Chavanoz, and both of them in South Carolina and elsewhere in the United States on licensing the use of ARCT machines here. He is or has been an agent or employee of both French defendants and sometimes is said to be an employee of *707 CTA, a French corporation which is an affiliate of Chavanoz.
9. Norman C. Armitage, a


Spartanburg resident and vice president of DMRC and DMI, negotiated the original and subsequent agreements with Chavanoz and ARCT-France and pursuant to them supervised the licensing of ARCT machines in this country. His diary entries refer to meetings in South Carolina (and elsewhere) with Chavanoz and ARCT-France representatives. The references in his diary to Milliken mean Roger Milliken, to Rhone Poulenc mean a French industrial concern of which Chavanoz is a subsidiary, to Conrad mean Robert Conrad, a lawyer who represents Leesona in connection with its patents and their litigation and who also, at the outset of some of these cases, represented DMRC. Armitage testified Conrad represented Chavanoz and ARCT in his meeting with Armitage.

THE CONTRACTS
10. The structure of the sales and licensing program for ARCT machines isembodied in a series of at least 25 contracts. The basic agreements between Chavanoz and ARCT-France are dated October 30, 1954, and July 18, 1962. These are Exhibits 1 and 9. They obligate ARCT-France, in return for exclusive world-wide rights to manufacture and sell the machines, to assign all improvements to Chavanoz and to deliver machines only to persons or firms who have entered into a license agreement to pay royalties on the use of the machines.
11. On February 20, 1959, ARCT-France in carrying out its agreement with Chavanoz, entered into a contract with Whitin Machine Works of Massachusetts for the sales and service of ARCT machines in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Whitin agreed not to sell the machines to any person or firm not approved


by Chavanoz or DMRC.
12. In December 31, 1957, Chavanoz entered into the first of at least eleven contracts with DMRC relating to the ARCT machines. These contracts, made in South Carolina, granted DMRC the exclusive agency in the United States, Canada, and Mexico to license others to use the ARCT machines. They contemplate DMRC will police the use of the machines, collect the royalties, deduct the expenses and remit one-half the royalties to Chavanoz. Under these contracts Chavanoz shall direct ARCT-France "to sell or deliver FT machines in the United States and Canada and Mexico only to parties sub-licensed by DMRC." DMRC is obligated to assign all improvements to Chavanoz, to receive from Chavanoz improvements and other technology from France and to file and prosecute applications for Unitedmachines in Spartanburg which are owned by ARCT-France. This contract was superseded September 1, 1966, by another rental agreement. These machines, property of the defendant ARCT-France, are still located in Spartanburg and continue to be operated here and payment made from South Carolina to ARCT-France for their operation.
15. On October 21, 1967, ARCT-France made a contract with DMRC in South Carolina regulating the royalty rates and manner of payment on sales of ARCT machines in Mexico. Pursuant to this contract ARCT-France collects from the customers in Mexico and remits a portion of their payments to DMRC in Spartanburg. This is in lieu of royalties and means that the machines in Mexico, once paid for, can be operated there free of the continuing royalty demanded of United States throwsters.
16.


Beyond all these contracts, and beyond the regular systematic coordinated performance in South Carolina of these basic agreements between Chavanoz, ARCT-France, and the American agent in South Carolinaon March 31, 1964, the defendants ARCT-France and Chavanoz together with DMRC and Whitin Machine Works entered into a patent exploitation treaty with the only American manufacturer of competing machinery, Leesona Corporation. This treaty of March 31, 1964, terminated vigorous litigation then pending simultaneously in South Carolina and Massachusetts, and guaranteed forever after that the parties would not attack each other while they both asserted their patent claims against the throwsters in this country. Thus, litigation which might have determined the validity and enforceability of some of these patents as early as 1964 was abated.

SALE AND PURCHASE PLAN
17. The basic contractsby which Chavanoz and ARCT-France established the structure for licensing the use of ARCT machines in the United States and in South Carolina are the contracts which have been described above. It is clear that Chavanoz and ARCT-France agreed that none of the machines would be sold or delivered to throwsters in the United States who did not take a license to pay royalties on the use of the machines. The South Carolina agent DMRC carrying out the basic contracts among and with the French concerns dutifully established a network of licenses with yarn manufacturers (the throwsters). For instance, Armitage wrote to the predecessor of Reliable (one of the parties here) on September 4, 1963, after receiving a copy of the signed license agreement for the payment of


use license, Whitin may not sell the machines to a prospective purchaser unless the purchaser has been licensed by Deering Milliken to use them."

French Erectors, From ARCT-France, Install Machines in South Carolina
These machines are bulky and have frequently been shipped from ARCT-France as a group of barrels or boxes containing parts. Employees of ARCT-France have come to South Carolina and elsewhere in the United States to assemble the machines on the spot in the plant of the throwster who is purchasing the machines. Waters testified that in the two years preceding his deposition the sale of machines to customers in South Carolina exceeded one million dollars and that it was necessary on occasion to have French employees of ARCT-France come to South Carolina to assemble and install thesemachines in the customers' plants. They are employees of ARCT-France.[3] This is a continuation program of insulation and service which ARCT-France carried on through Whitin in the years before it established its own direct subsidiary ARCT, Inc. at Greensboro.

Royalties
19. The American agent DMRC collects the royalties at Spartanburg, South Carolina, and, after payment of expenses, remits half of the royalties to Chavanoz. Chavanoz at all times had had a substantial interest in the royalties located in South Carolina. The money flows to Chavanoz from Spartanburg on a regular and continuous basis. More than 700 of these machines have been sold to throwsters in the United States. Deering Milliken, Inc., alone operates many of these machines in South Carolina. The throwster plaintiffs here operate a number of these machines


in South Carolina. At the oral argument, counsel for Chavanoz said DMRC knew the amount of royalties paid by South Carolina throwsters and, after some colloquy with counsel for DMRC, counsel for Chavanoz stipulated "that a substantial amount came from South Carolina."[4]

Exchange of Research and Know-how
20. Under the basic contracts, knowhow is collected in Spartanburg, South Carolina, at DMRC, and forwarded to France. In turn, French know-how is forwarded to South Carolina to DMRC at Spartanburg. ARCT-France also supplies manuals and technical instructions and maintains machines at Spartanburg, South Carolina, at DMRC. In addition, Exhibits 29[5] through 36 illustrate *710 the exchange in writing and in person of information between ARCT-France and DMRC at Spartanburg. This correspondence refers to visits back and forth and to exhibition of theARCT machines in the United States. In Exhibit 31, Crouzet on behalf of ARCT-France wrote Armitage in regard to Bob Reeves of DMRC Spartanburg:
"I would suggest that he work with our specialists who are going quite often to the States, and get practice with them."
21. Exhibit 18[6] refers to the warranties of ARCT-France and the machine sales agreements also contain warranties as to installation and parts running from ARCT-France to the throwster purchaser in the United States. These would include of course the machines installed in South Carolina.

ARCT-France and Chavanoz Personnel in South Carolina
22. In addition to testimony and diary entries of Norman Armitage and the many contracts between the parties which demonstrate the long, regular, and continuous communication between them, Exhibits before the court further illustrate the


telephone and written communications flowing regularly between them and having one end of this exchange clearly located in South Carolina. Exhibit 38 refers specifically to Mr. Moutet of ARCT-France being at the mill of a South Carolina customer for these machines at Union, South Carolina. And further work was done by Moutet at Spartanburg. Exhibit 39 is a letter from Roger Milliken to Henri Crouzet, president of ARCT-France, in regard to their assistance in helping solve "our problem," of talks then in progress with Norman Armitage and of ARCT-France's decision to ship two machines per month, presumably to DMI in South Carolina.

Property Located in South Carolina
23. Exhibits 12 and 19[7] deal with the machines which are the property of ARCT-France, located in South Carolina and operated there forthe past eight years. Exhibits 40 through 46 are correspondence and invoices of ARCT-France in relation to this equipment and the rental of it in South Carolina. In addition, Chavanoz has its very substantial and continuing interest not only in the royalties collected for its account in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but also in the many sub-license agreements which its agent DMRC holds in Spartanburg and the so-called patent rights, pending patent applications, patents and "know-how" collected and accumulated by DMRC for it in South Carolina.

New Patents
24. The contracts, the continuing operation by DMRC in South Carolina of a patent procurement business, generating patents the ownership of which always goes to the defendant Chavanoz and which are regularly funneled into the licensing program as additions to the throwsters' licenses.


letter from ARCT, Inc. to Lawrence Texturing Corporation, one of the throwsters in the cases before the court. Note that the printed letterhead shows Henri CrouzetARCT-France, President, and carries the legend "Subsidiary of Ateliers Roannais de Construction Textiles, Roanne, Loire France."
Exhibit 52 is a brochure distributed here by ARCT-France and ARCT, Inc. and carries the insignia or logo of both, with ARCT-France clearly dominant. In other publications of *712 ARCT-France, ARCT, Inc. is referred to as its "direct subsidiary" and as its "North American Headquarters." In view of the identity of the president and some of the other officers and directors and the controlling stock interest of the parent corporation and the fact that selling and servicing the ARCT machines is the only business of ARCT, Inc., itis obvious that ARCT, Inc. is a conduit for ARCT-France. It is admittedly in South Carolina on a continuous and regular basis and has been served as agent for ARCT-France. That should be sufficient. In addition, in many of these cases Mr. Crouzet himself, the president of ARCT-France, was here and has been served in person by the United States Marshal at Greensboro when he arrived there on the ARCT plane coming from Spartanburg, South Carolina, where he had attended the business of ARCT-France. In oral argument, it was contended that he had several hats and that he wasn't served with the right hat on. He may have several hats but he's only one person with one head and the business of ARCT-France is his primary business and


terms of the agreement in Textured Fibres, Inc. are similar to the case at hand in that there was an exchange of technical information and know-how; granting the usual any improvements acquired in the patents, payment of royalties, and the keeping of accurate records. The agreements were executed in North and South Carolina and in the present case execution was in France and South Carolina. The contract in question is at least to be partly performed in South Carolina. Chavanoz's obligation to give technical assistance, to include improvements acquired, and the right to have records inspected were no doubt to be performed in South Carolina. Chavanoz was also to share in the cost of litigation. It is presumed that these various provisions of the contract were real andnot illusory. With the substantial amount of royalties received and the contacts Chavanoz has with South Carolina, the business cannot be characterized as casual or as constituting single or isolated acts.
F. In Throwing Corporation of America v. Deering Milliken Research Corporation, 302 F.Supp. 487 (M.D.N.C.1969), plaintiffs, licensees under the Chavanoz patents here in suit, sought a declaratory judgment as to the meaning of a certain provision in their license agreements with DMRC. DMRC moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
Judge Stanley denied the motion and held, inter alia, that DMRC was "transacting business" in North Carolina. DMRC's licensing arrangement with its North Carolina licensees was summarized as follows:
"DMRC has 23 licensees located in North Carolina, 9 of which are similar to the licenses in this action. In answer


to interrogatories, DMRC states that it received royalties of more than $10,000.00 from 14 of its licensees in North Carolina during the year 1968. This is obviously a very substantial business. The licensees are required to maintain accurate and detailed records showing all information necessary to the computation of royalties, and DMRC has adopted a program of sending auditors into North Carolina for the purposes of examining the books and records of its licensees. One of such audits precipitated the present controversies. The licenses extend over a long period of years, and the large volume of business DMRC does in North Carolina can in no way be characterized as casual, or as constituting single or isolated acts."
Chavanoz's arrangement with DMRC in South Carolina is similar to and thereceived very substantial sums therefrom. South Carolina has a continuing interest in this continuing relationship with South Carolina. Chavanoz has a continuing interest in profiting from the South Carolina market and, through its set-up with DMRC in South Carolina, from the American market. Chavanoz cannot complain if along with the profits it receives from South Carolina it must also accept the jurisdiction of the courts in South Carolina.

ARCT-France
I. The same constitutional guidelines are, of course, applicable to ARCT-France. The court finds that the contacts are sufficient to require ARCT-France to litigate in this forum without violation of "fair play and substantial justice."
J. In May of 1963, ARCT-France contracted with DMRC which resulted in the rental of two F.T. machines to DMRC which were owned by ARCT-France. These machines


are still being rented by DMRC. There is also an agreement between ARCT-France and DMRC to exchange development and "know-how" as it is acquired. In October 1967, ARCT-France also made an agreement with DMRC whereby DMRC would collect royalties on F.T. machines sold in Mexico and retain a portion of the royalties as its compensation. There were various other correspondence, visits, and communications between the parties; and employees from ARCT-France have come to South Carolina and elsewhere in the United States to assemble the F.T. machines and aid in servicing them.
K. In February 1966, ARCT-France established a subsidiary corporation known as ARCT, Inc., located in Greensboro, North Carolina, which has conducted business in South Carolina. ARCT, Inc. has the exclusive right to manufacture and sell F.T. machines inquantity of its contacts, the nature and quality of its contacts, and the connection of the throwsters' claims with those contacts. The interest of South Carolina, a major center of the yarn throwing industry in this country, in having the throwsters' claims fully and thoroughly adjudicated is clear, and it has previously been determined that South Carolina is the most convenient forum in which to adjudicate these claims.
M. ARCT-France's many and continuous direct contacts with South Carolina are set out above and include sales of machines intended to be used and used in South Carolina, the erection of such machines by its employees in South Carolina, the continuing ownership of machines in South Carolina, visits of its officers and employees to South Carolina on its business, receipt of


it cannot be doubted that the business operations set in motion by ARCT-France's contacts with South Carolina have had and continue to have a "realistic impact" on the economy of South Carolina. Nor can it be doubted that ARCT-France could reasonably foresee that those business operations would have such an impact. Each of the contacts enumerated above was calculated to have and did have an obvious effect in South Carolina and other yarn throwing centers.
O. The link between the throwsters' claims and ARCT-France's contacts with South Carolina is obvious. ARCT-France's contacts with South Carolina constitute an integral part of a plan or scheme by which ARCT-France, DMRC, Chavanoz, ARCT, Inc. and others have joined illegally to exploit the patents in suit at the expense of the throwsters, andultimately the American public.[17] These suits challenge that whole plan and schemefrom the first ARCT-France contract and all the later ones, and its performance under them, down to the last benefit received today.
In summary, the quantity and the nature and quality of ARCT-France's contacts with South Carolina and the connection with those contacts with the throwsters' claims serve as a basis for the exercise by this court of jurisdiction over the person of ARCT-France.
P. ARCT-France caused ARCT, Inc. to be incorporated in 1966 under the laws of North Carolina. (See letter dated 26 August 1966 from Henri Crouzet, President of ARCT-France to Norman Armitage, Vice President of Deering Milliken Research Corporation attached hereto as Exhibit 52.) ARCT, Inc. is located in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is nothing more


stock of ARCT, Inc. and is a director of ARCT, Inc.
(3) Henri Crouzet, President of ARCT-France, is President and a director of ARCT, Inc. Charles Crouzet, Vice President of ARCT-France, is a director of ARCT, Inc.
(4) ARCT, Inc. is the sole distributor of and sole service agent for ARCT machinery in the United States.
(5) ARCT-France has licensed ARCT, Inc. under all of its patent rights.
(6) ARCT-France required ARCT, Inc. to "feed back" improvements in the machinery.
(7) ARCT-France has agreed to defend and save harmless ARCT, Inc. in patent litigation arising out of the sale of ARCT machines.
(8) ARCT-France pays for the warranty work performed by ARCT, Inc. in servicing said machines.
(9) ARCT, Inc. is held out by ARCT-France as its direct subsidiary and North American headquarters.

"It is true that defendant Kaiser Jeep Sales Corporation, and not defendant Kaiser Jeep Corporation, has entered into the direct dealer contracts with its dealers in this State. However, it is apparent that the former is a subsidiary sales organization of the latter which was created and is owned for the purpose of promoting the distribution and sales of the latter's manufactured Jeep products. Their relationship is so inter-related and entwined each with the other, as shown by their answers to the interrogatories, as to justify the court in finding that the acts of one are the acts of the

The first leg at the Central Stadium was won 1–0 by Dynamo. Borussia again needed to score to stay in the competition. Midway through the second half, Rainer Bonhof scored to make the tie 1–1 on aggregate. With eight minutes remaining and the tie heading for extra time, Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp scored to give Borussia a two-goal lead. The score remained the same and Borussia progressed to their first European Cup final with a 2–1 aggregate victory.

They Soon Learned What the Doorman Knew

Haley Jill Draznin and Jason Leibowitz were married March 9 at Guastavino’s, an events space in New York. Rabbi Daniel Alder officiated.

The bride, 28, works in New York as a reporter and producer for CNN, covering political and business news. She graduated from Emory University in Atlanta.

She is a daughter of Sharon Rosenberg Draznin and Arthur J. Draznin of Short Hills, N.J. The bride’s father is an executive managing director of Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate services company in New York. Her mother is an interior designer in Short Hills.

The groom, 32, works on Credit Suisse’s Blockchain team in New York. He graduated from George Washington University. He is a son of Myriam Siboni Leibowitz and David G. Leibowitz ofWest Palm Beach, Fla. The groom’s mother retired as a registered nurse at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. His father is the chief information officer at Lebo Capital Management in West Palm Beach.

Ms. Draznin and Mr. Leibowitz met in June 2014 as guests at the wedding of a mutual friend in New York. They were introduced by Ms. Draznin’s brother, Andrew Draznin, who had played tennis with Mr. Leibowitz in college.

“We just talked and danced the rest of the night away,” Ms. Draznin said. “We had such a great time together.”

They soon discovered that they lived two floors apart in the same Manhattan building — he on the 10th floor and she on the 12th — and at the end of the evening they shared a


was filed to recover for the loss of a cargo of chalk laden on the scow Harper No. 145. The owner of the chalk libeled the scow and sued the Moran Towing & Transportation Company, the charterer, and the latter impleaded the Weeks Stevedoring Company under the fifty-sixth Rule in Admiralty.
The Harper No. 145 was a new scow built in 1924 and completed in May of that year. She was chartered to the Moran Towing & Transportation Company under a demise charter whereby the owner paid the master who was the charterer's agent in respect to matters affecting the cargo. While under this charter, which began on June 1, 1924, and ran for four months, the Harper No. 145 carried full cargoes of ore, sand, humus, and cokebefore taking on libelant's cargo on August 27th and 28th, and developed no signs of leaking.
Libelant's cargo of 800 tons of chalk arrived at New York on the steamship Independence Hall, which was berthed at Pier 2, Hoboken. It was at first thought that the Harper No. 145 could take the entire 800 tons on board, but her master protested against such a heavy load, though, when the charter was entered into, the owner is said to have assured the charterer that 800 tons might be carried. By arrangement between the master and a representative of the charterer, the loading ceased at noon on August 28th, when 684 tons of chalk had been placed on board. The testimony indicates that the scow was trim, had a safe amount


of free-board, and did not appear to be leaking when the loading was completed.
As soon as the scow was loaded, three of the stevedores from the gang of the Weeks Stevedoring Company cast off her lines. She lay alongside the floating crane that was between her and the Independence Hall to discharge the chalk from the latter. The stevedores shifted her by hauling on her lines until she was in motion and then let her drift in toward the bulkhead. They then went ashore to dinner and paid no attention to the scow for about an hour, when one of them returned and reported to the foreman stevedore that she had "taken an awful list." The foreman at once proceeded to Pier 2 and found her starboard railunder water and about 24 inches lower than her port rail. A tug was secured to put in a siphon and to pump her out, but, before any progress could be made in doing this, the scow careened and dumped her cargo. Her master had gone ashore shortly after noon, as he said, to telephone to the charterer's agent that she "was loaded complete as she stood at noon." He returned just before she shipped her load. He testified that he had sounded the Harper No. 145 the afternoon before, as well as on the morning that she turned turtle, and had found no water in her on either occasion. But he had not gone through her with a lantern so as to discover any break in her


hull. The survey made after the scow was raised disclosed a new fracture in a plank in the stern of the boat about six feet from the bottom, which the witnesses said was large enough to admit considerable water.
The District Court found: (1) That the barge was seaworthy when loaded; (2) that the stevedoring company was negligent in leaving her to drift, and that some blow she received while so drifting resulted in the broken stern plank which had caused the leaking; (3) that the stevedoring company and the Moran Company were both at fault in not heeding the objections of the bargemaster to the overloading of the scow and consequently were both liable for the damages sustained by libelant.
The trial judge accordingly dismissed the libel as againstthe Harper No. 145 and granted a final decree against the Moran Towing & Transportation Company and Weeks Stevedoring Company, Inc. The libelant *163 appeals because the decree should have gone against the scow as well as against the Moran Company and the stevedoring company. The Moran Company and the stevedoring company each appeals on the ground that it was not at fault.
It is earnestly contended by all parties, except the owner of the scow, that she was structurally unseaworthy because she had not been properly caulked and because some of her top seams had dried out. The trial judge did not regard the proof of these defects as convincing in view of the testimony of the builder of the scow and of the inherent improbability that a


left her adrift in the slip. He realized the difficulty involved in reaching such a conclusion, and said in his opinion:
"How the fracture of the plank was caused does not appear. No direct evidence bears thereon, and hence we must look to the probabilities, taking into consideration the situation, facts and circumstances."
The scow carried her last prior cargo, which was one of coke, on August 22d. She apparently then had a full load and did not leak, so that we must assume that the break occurred later than that date. The owner has the burden of proving that his barge was seaworthy when the cargo of chalk was loaded. The leaking and capsizing on August 28 raised a presumption of unseaworthiness. Du Pont de Nemours v. Vance, 19left adrift than during the five days prior to August 27 when she began to take the chalk on board and during which her movements are not accounted for except by the bare statement of her master that she never got into any trouble. We think that she was not shown to have been seaworthy when she took in libelant's chalk, but was seaworthy when chartered.
It is said that the scow must have received her injuries during the noon hour because she did not leak before. But we cannot know when the leaking began. No one examined her hull prior to the survey to see whether there was any fracture, and she might have had a fracture and yet have leaked little or none at all until her


and to Cunningham, the representative of the charterer, but also that this was a safe load and less than the vessel had carried before. The District Judge confused the bargee's objection to carrying 800 tons with a supposed objection which he never made to the 684 tons actually loaded. We accordingly hold that neither the stevedores nor the charterer were in fault for loading the barge as they did.
It follows from the foregoing that the barge was not unseaworthy when delivered to the charterer but became so while in the hands of the charterer and before libelant's chalk was taken on board. Accordingly, the charterer, who was the carrier and owner pro hac vice, became liable for the loss of the cargo, and the scow Harper No. 145No. 145. While this primary liability could have been passed on to the stevedoring company by showing that the latter was responsible for the injury to the stern plank, the attempt to shift the loss failed for lack of proof.
It may be argued that the scow ought to be held primarily liable because the bargee, who was paid by the owner, did not examine her with sufficient care to discover the break in the stern plank. But he did take soundings on the afternoon of August 27th and the morning of August 28th and found no water. This would seem to have been enough in the case of a harbor scow that was new and had carried her last cargo safely, at least in the absence of proof


His Holiness the Dalai Lama and fellow participants during an interfaith meeting. Photo by Ian Cumming

The 21st September 2015 saw dignitaries and distinguished guests invited to the House of Lords for a meeting organised by theBuddhist Society of which His Holiness the Dalai Lama is Patron. Bhai Sahib Bhai (Dr) Mohinder Singh OBE was the Sikh representative at the prestigious meeting entitled ‘The Preservation of Religious Culture and the Cohesion of Faiths’.

Bhai Sahib Bhai (Dr) Mohinder Singh, Chairman of Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha and Nishkam Civic Association, was honoured to be part of the meeting. The meeting was followed by a Celebration Lunch to mark a double celebration firstly, the 80th birthday of His Holiness The Dalai Lama and also the Buddhist Society celebrating its 90th Anniversary.

Onthat His Holiness had attended. Baroness Berridge, Chair of the All Party Group on International Religious Freedom, raised concerns for atrocities against Muslims and Christians in Burma and elsewhere. She eloquently said that those in public life had a responsibility to work for the rights of all. Her sentiments were taken further by the Bishop of Coventry, Christopher Cocksworth, who iterated that violence has never helped and religious leaders needed to make this clear to their various governments. He said there was still too great a sense that military force was the way to solve problems, but in fact in the long run words are more effective than bullets.

The Dalai Lama repeated that love and compassion are what bring people together, while anger and suspicion push them apart.
