SCS News & Press Releases

The Verge technology and culture site is celebrating its fifth anniversary in November by looking at what's in store for the next five years, based on interviews with opinion leaders, such as Manuela Veloso, head of SCS's Machine Learning Department. Read Veloso's "The Verge 2021" interview and watch the accompanying video to get her insights on why humanity and artificial intelligence will be inseparable.

How a mobile app says it will collect or share a user’s personal information with third parties often appears to be inconsistent with how the app actually behaves, a new automated analysis system developed by Carnegie Mellon University has revealed.

A team of students from the Language Technologies Institute (LTI), one of seven departments in Carnegie Mellon University's School of ComputerScience's Computational Biology Department have found some answers, which could be critical to helping agriculture adapt to drought and other climate-related stressors.

As the ethical and policy issues surrounding artificial intelligence and other computing technologies take center stage, global law firm K&L Gates LLP has made a gift to help ensure Carnegie Mellon University's leadership in this emerging field.

A 2006 research paper co-authored by Travis Breaux, an assistant professor in the Institute for Software Research, received an honorable mention for the Most Influential Paper Award at the 24th IEEE Requirements Engineering Conference (RE) hosted last month in Beijing.

Johnny Miller is home again, farming the land he loves in a quiet Amish community in Ohio.

But although he’s not physically wandering, he is still wondering. Wondering why he is restless. Wondering why he feels that some piece of his life is not yet in place. Wondering why, when he was medically “dead,” he was met by his wife, who told him his time to enter Heaven had not yet come—he was still needed on earth.

This third and final book of the “The Wanderers” series follows Johnny’s wandering to a place where he finally finds home.

Johnny’s journey to find home has been interrupted, and only a miracle has kept him alive to continue. But does he wantwas a non-playing squad member at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

the nomination yet?

The obvious answer is the expectations set by his truly impressive run against Ted Cruz, where he raised Barack Obama levels of money and almost pulled off the impossible trick of beating a Republican incumbent senator in Texas.

But the single most critical element in all of politics is timing. Beto had the good fortune – and sense – to run against one of the most singularly unlikable men on the American political scene and in a world in which Roy Moore was endorsed by a Republican president and the RNC, that’s no small achievement. I first encountered Ted Cruz when we were both working on the 2000 Bush campaign in Austin. No one liked him. The degree to which that dislike was felt intensely or morepassively seemed to track according to the amount of time one was required to spend with him.

I first encountered Ted Cruz when we were both working on the 2000 Bush campaign in Austin. No one liked him. The degree to which that dislike was felt intensely, or more passively, seemed to track according to the amount of time one was required to spend with him.

I was involved in debate prep for then-Governor Bush and when I heard there was a guy working in the campaign who had been a legendary college debater, I asked someone from the policy shop, where


by Cruz’s intellectual pedigree and was able to grasp Cruz’s total, global phoniness.

Cruz was that guy who delivers a fiery speech denouncing “coastal elites who attack the NRA,” even though he was born in Calgary, graduated from Princeton undergrad and Harvard Law School, was a Supreme Court clerk, worked in the White House, and is a former Assistant Attorney General. Hell, Ted Cruz’s wife was born in the coastal town of San Luis Obispo, California, holds a BA from Claremont McKenna College, an MA from Université libre de Bruxelles, and an MBA from Harvard University. She works as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs. The only way these two could be less elite if they were married under the pyramid at the Louvre at the annual meeting ofa teacher.

With Jesse Jackson in the race, Bill Clinton didn’t have to win African-Americans; he just had to be the first white guy after Jackson knowing that the Democratic party in 1992 was not going to nominate a black man for president. By the end of the process in 2008, Barack Obama won African-Americans and liberals. Had Bernie Sanders been able to win a larger share of the black vote, he’d have beaten Hillary Clinton, easily. As it was, Clinton won labor, held her own with liberals, and won African-Americans.

The question for Beto is the same for each of the Democratic candidates: Which of those groups can he win? The most impressive number I’ve seen for Joe Biden is his strength with African-American women. It’s hard to imagine


Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina: "I am homosexual" Published duration 21 January 2014

image copyright Other image caption Binyavanga Wainaina won the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing

Leading Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina has come out to say he is gay, making him one of the most high-profile Africans to do so.

He made the disclosure in an article entitled: I am a homosexual, mum, coinciding with his 43rd birthday on 18 January.

Homosexual acts are illegal in Kenya and many other African states.

His statement comes amid a fierce debate about gay rights in several African countries.

Nigeria has recently passed legislation tightening restrictions on homosexual groups, while Uganda's president has blocked a similar bill.

Mr Wainaina has strongly criticised Nigeria's anti-gay law, saying it "shames us all".

His decision has drawn mixed reaction among KenyansA Favor Among Strangers Becomes a Moral Battle

Questions of life and death are settled over pots of tea in Lee Blessing's "Going to St. Ives," which opened last night at the 59E59 Theaters in an assured, strongly acted production from Primary Stages.

In this thoughtful, tidy two-hander, Mr. Blessing returns to the formula of his best-known play, "A Walk in the Woods," in which the United States-Soviet arms race was examined through the sharply focused lens of a friendly colloquy between a pair of refugees from the negotiations sharing some quality time on a park bench.

Here, too, Mr. Blessing sets out to ponder troublesome questions of personal ethics, global politics and moral responsibility through the interplay of two characters trading confidences and viewpoints across a wide cultural divide. The


big mess under the microscope on this occasion is the widespread violence that continues to roil much of postcolonial Africa.

The lights rise to reveal the commanding presence of May N'Kame (L. Scott Caldwell), swathed in richly colored African fabrics accented by a tasteful pair of Chanel flats (a witty stroke from the costume designer, Ann Hould-Ward). Radiating grandeur and authority, her lips pursed permanently in mild disdain, May looks absurdly out of place in the bland parlor of Dr. Cora Gage (Vivienne Benesch), a respected British eye surgeon.

May has come to St. Ives, a village near Cambridge, England, to put herself in Dr. Gage's care. Her fading eyesight troubles her son, the self-styled emperor of an unnamed African nation. "Why do men build empires, if not to showtheir mothers?" May asks, revealing a tendency to deliver aphorisms as if they were edicts.

The violent tactics May's son uses to keep a ruthless grip on power in the former British colony are not fondly regarded by the West. May assumes Cora's nervousness is inspired by her trepidation at sharing an afternoon meal with, and performing delicate surgery on, "the mother of a monster," as May bluntly puts it. But Cora's anxieties run deeper. She has decided to ask May to encourage her son to release four doctors he has jailed for treason. Their crime? Refusing to revive prisoners so their captors could continue to torture them.

As she ponders the request, the philosophically minded May draws a reluctant Cora into a discussion of the personal histories that have


brought them together. We learn that Cora is haunted by guilt over her role in her young son's death. He was the accidental victim of gang violence the family encountered when they took a wrong turn off a freeway in Los Angeles. May, in turn, reveals an anguished ambivalence toward her son, comparing her heart, with its remnant of affection for a man whose behavior she despises, to a "burnt-out forest."

"People wander through looking for pity, sympathy -- there's nothing there," she continues. "Only this one, unwelcome love." (May, who had a "surprising education" in England, easily bests Cora in the rhetorical department.)

Mr. Blessing springs a sharp surprise in the first act, as May promises to honor Cora's request only if the doctor will in turn grant atruly come across as flesh-and-blood people but as convincing facsimiles whose turns of thought and phrase are all preordained by the playwright.

Still, under the painstaking direction of Maria Mileaf, both Ms. Benesch and Ms. Caldwell freshen the writing with the immediacy of their performances. Ms. Caldwell, in the richer role, rises magnificently to the challenges of the second act. In a particularly affecting monologue, she recounts the ruthless manner in which her young son's humanity was systematically destroyed by his years at a military academy. And she is simply riveting in the play's climactic moments. As May reckons with her complicity in the murderous acts of her son, she is left literally gasping with despair. Many in the audience will find themselves breathless, too.

A new book about Vincent van Gogh explores his life and art when he lived in Arles, France.

Golden fields, sun-drenched houses, sunflowers dancing in the light.

It’s difficult to reconcile the beautiful paintings Vincent van Gogh made while living in Southern France with his act of self-inflicted violence there -- when he sliced off his own ear with a razor.

A new book by van Gogh scholar Martin Bailey explores the 15 months the Dutch-born painter lived and worked in Provence -- he painted prolifically, about 200 works -- and the events surrounding the mutilation of his ear as well as his mental health.

“Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence” (published by Frances Lincoln, Nov. 3, 2016) dedicates a full chapter to theear-cutting incident, presenting a new theory on why one of the most beloved artists of all time would inflict so much pain upon himself.

Van Gogh moved to a butter-colored house in Arles, France -- captured in his painting “The Yellow House” -- in May 1888. Only seven months later, the famous ear incident took place.

Many attribute the tragic day to a fight with the painter Paul Gauguin and the stress that had built up between the two -- they’d been rooming together in the yellow house and painting side-by-side for months.

“In the case of Gauguin, Gauguin came to Arles two months before the ear incident and they lived together in the yellow house and initially


problems with his family, but the one person he was close to was Theo,” said Bailey, who is also an art correspondent from London and an independent curator who has mounted van Gogh exhibitions in Europe.

“It seems to me Vincent had a fear of being abandoned by his brother and that’s what drove him to it,” said Bailey.

Van Gogh’s mental health has long been a subject of discussion among scholars and others. Physicians and art historians from around the world gathered in Amsterdam in September to talk about van Gogh’s diagnosis at a meeting sponsored by the Van Gogh Museum there. The museum held an exhibition “On the Verge of Insanity” at the same time.

The experts concluded that van Gogh had his first significant psychotic breakdown while inArles, and he was subsequently hospitalized for the first time for mental instability.

Arko Oderwald, a lecturer in philosophy and medical ethics at the Vrije University Medical Center in Amsterdam, who attended the September meeting, told CBS News that he had not read Bailey’s book yet, but he disagrees with the new theory.

“Based on my knowledge of the facts that are available, I don’t think the marriage of Theo plays an important role in the stress of van Gogh. It may seem likely from an outsider’s point of view, but there is no conclusive evidence to support

Arla profit grows in volatile market

Arla has reported that it delivered a solid business performance throughout 2016 and made a strong start to the delivery of its strategy, Good Growth 2020, despite highly volatile milk markets.

Arla has reported that it delivered a solid business performance throughout 2016 and made a strong start to the delivery of its strategy, Good Growth 2020, despite highly volatile milk markets. While revenue declined due to the global price environment, Arla says it continued to improve the quality of its sales by moving more milk from bulk to brands, and Arla’s net profit grew 20.7% to €356 million.

In the second half of the year Arla introduced increases in its prepaid milk price to farmers by nearly 30% and expects annual revenue and performanceprice to improve in 2017.

In a year with extreme volatility in raw milk production and farm gate prices, Arla said it delivered financial results above its targets on most measures, with net profit at 3.6% of sales, a strategic branded volume driven revenue growth of 5.2% and a growth in brand share to 44.5%.

During the first eight months of 2016, the company says the dairy industry was characterised by low global milk prices due to a period with an over-supply of milk, particularly in Europe. European milk supply then declined significantly in the second half of the year, supporting a significant milk price rally.

In the last four months of 2016 Arla delivered four consecutive increases in the on-account milk price – representing close to a 30% increase. This


BERLIN -- The house of American civil rights icon Rosa Parks has been standing in the German capital for less than a year, but now the artist who saved it from destruction in Detroit says it's time for it to return to the U.S.

American artist Ryan Mendoza says with the growing call to remove Confederate monuments in the U.S., the country needs more shrines to the civil rights movement. He says "it's actually become a necessity, as we see people rising up and seeing things for what they are."

There's no timeline yet on when the small home maybe brought back. Parks' niece, Rhea McCauley, who worked with Mendoza to save the home from demolition, says she would now also like to see it return to the U.S.

She told The Associated Press: "We need all the help we can get, in light of all current events."

Section by section, American artist Ryan Mendoza painstakingly disassembled the small wood-frame home of civil rights icon Rosa Park after learning that the struggling city of Detroit was going to have it demolished. He shipped it across the Atlantic Ocean and rebuilt it in the German capital of Berlin, saving the home and creating a new tourist attraction.

The house has been up in Berlin less than a year, but with an outbreak of racial violence


in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the growing call to remove Confederate monuments in the United States, the New York native said it's now clear to him that Park's house needs to return soon to the U.S.

"It's actually become a necessity, as we see people rising up and seeing things for what they are," he said. "As Americans begin to understand they have to re-contextualize these monuments, the Confederate statues, there is a lack of civil rights monuments to balance things out."

Parks, who died in 2005, became a leading name in the civil rights movement for refusing in 1955 to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. She moved to Detroit in 1957 to escape death threats and stayed in the house withher brother and his family -- crammed into the tiny residence with more than 15 people.

After the financial crisis of 2008 and Detroit's dramatic decline, Parks' home was abandoned and put on a list for demolition. Parks' niece Rhea McCauley instead bought it from the city for $500 and donated it to Mendoza for preservation. In 2016, he and others took it carefully apart, then rebuilt it on the lot in Berlin where his studio and home are.

Queen Yahna, a soul and gospel singer from Philadelphia who now lives in Berlin, performed for the crowd at the house's official dedication in April. Visiting the house this week, she said it doesn't matter to her where the house is, so long as Parks' struggle is remembered.

the minerals they provided. A few years later, in 1882, the city was renamed “Roanoke”, a term from “rawrenock” which was the shell money used by Algonquian Indians for trading.

With the invention of the steam engine, rail made its way to Roanoke. Several things happened in 1881 to contribute to the rail boom here. Citizens went out and offered Valley Railroad Company a sizeable sum to place their headquarters in Big Lick, instead of Salem. And in 1882, that became a reality. Roanoke was a growing rail town. In 1882, Norfolk and Western Rail Company merged Valley Rail with the Lynchburg to Norfolk division and from Roanoke to Winston Salem, NC, making Roanoke a commerce and transportation hub to the South and East Coast. The rail system shippedall manner of goods, (primarily tobacco) and was even used during the Civil War.

Nearly immediately after settling, Roanoke began to produce its own Nectar of the Gods that we all love so much. In 1885, Portner’s Brewing Company expanded a facility to continue and spur its growth as a notably large Southern brewery. It chose Roanoke as the place to open its doors. Just down the street from Hotel Roanoke (still in operation and very much amazing) Portner’s was distributing as far away as Georgia. It’s important to note here that Portner was an innovator. His company began using artificial refrigeration to regulate his temperatures during lagering and storage. Yes, beer was the primary conduit for modern air conditioning. It also paved the way for the commercial refrigeration


services we know today that operate across many industries, including breweries. Engineering refrigeration systems, converting refrigerants, and maintenance and optimization of systems have all become an industry in their own right.

While Portner Brewing was putting beer on the shelves of grocer’s across the South, Virginia Brewing Company opened their door’s across from the rail yards, on Norfolk and Wise Avenue. Established by several local businessmen, VBC became an immediate favorite of the populace. They hired a german brewmaster named Louis Scholz and in 1890, their first beer, a pilsner was available. In 1907, VBC took a gold medal for that pilsner at the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition beer competition. Not even a fire in the 1890’s could dampen the love for local beer here. VBC immediately rebuilt, even larger,waste in the city sewer system.

Listed as a 2012 Sustainability Award Winner, Green Power Partner, Champion level in renewable energy programs. It is crucial to Deschutes to give back and protect the community as well as the world around it.

Deschutes intends to break ground in 2019 (possibly earlier) and begin construction on an $85 million dollar facility. They expect to begin shipping beer from the Roanoke facility in about five years. Located on 49 acres, this brewery will become a focal point of the Roanoke community, the region around us and the nation as a whole.

a college apartment at UCLA, that Ballast Point Brewing Company was born.

Home Brew Mart was Jack’s first business venture in 1992. He filled his days with conversation, equipment and advice to others on how to brew. More importantly, Jack began developing and nurturing a culture. His roommate, Pete A’Hearn was brewing with him and decided to head to UC Davis to attain a master brewers certificate. Their goal was to go pro. Soon after, Yusseff Cherney, a fellow home brewer with more than his share of awards, joined them. Yusseff became Home Brew Mart’s first employee, and in 1996, in a back room brewery behind the shop, Ballast Point became a reality. Even today, Home Brew Mart remains in its original location.

Ballast Point takes its name from alighthouse in California, on Ballast Point, which is a peninsula near San Diego. In 2004, the brewery had outgrown its location in the back part of the home brew store and moved into a production brewery in Scripps Ranch, Ca. It’s important to note Ballast Point also has a full suite of distilled products. Old Grove Gin was its first, but it now includes fourteen spirits in its distillation family. In the summer of 2014, Ballast Point finished construction of its 107,000 state of the art production facility in Miramar. They had previously discovered two large copper kettles in Lohr, Germany and made this the centerpiece of the new facility. The brewery is also home to the laboratory, tasting bar, as well as the restaurant.

My aunt gave me a batch of family photographs to scan and organize. My grandfather, Clifford Lutter, was a photographer in Newark. A lot of photographs are not of our family, but rather people he photographed for various reasons. Most are not labeled with the name of the subjects. I created a separate page on this blog for people to view the photos and perhaps recognize someone.

One of the photographs struck me as a familiar face. It was a man, dressed in a suit and tie, with glasses, sitting among various papers. With no identification on the picture itself, I posted the picture with the rest on the page


for Clifford Lutter's photographs. I kept looking at the face, feeling that this man was not a random subject. Then I showed the picture to my aunt and uncle and they agreed that this image could very well be Howard Lutter, maybe in the 1940s, when he was in his fifties.

This man is posed in the same direction as the known picture of Howard Lutter, so we can compare them side by side.

I acquired some more family photos (thank you Aunt Marion!) and was overjoyed to find a labeled photograph of Clara Uhl, a great great grandmother. "Grandma Lutter (Clara Uhl)" was written on the back, along with a signature in pencil, perhaps conveying that Clara confirmed that this was indeed her picture. Clara was briefly married to Hermann Lutter. You can read about their divorce here.

This is a cabinet card, made by Helmuth Schumacher of Newark, New Jersey. It measures a little over six inches high by four inches wide and is fairly sturdy. (Perhaps the clipped corners indicate that this photograph was kept in an album? Where is the rest of the album?)

To date the image, I look at a few things. Clara's age appears


to be in her 20s, maybe 30s in the picture. She was born in 1865 in Newark and died in 1955. By her age guesstimate alone, this picture was made in the 1880s or 1890s. Next I look to see when the photographer was in business. Helmuth Schumacher used the West street address in Newark from 1892 onward. By 1892, Clara had been married, separated, and had one child.

You can also date the photograph based on the style of dress and hair. The little triangle that appears to be sticking out of the back of Clara's head is a hair comb to hold her hair in place. The bodice of her dress is tightly cinched at her natural waste, producing an hourglass appearance. The shoulders are pronounced, protrudingGPS tool is an amazing idea and demonstrates how far DNA testing for genealogy has come in just a few years, but also demonstrates that more information and techniques are needed to draw accurate conclusions.

Mary Evenshirer was my 3x great grandmother. She was born in New York City around 1842. She died in Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey in 1916. Her surname and her father are a tail end in my family tree.

Mary's mother was Rene Brewer, a daughter of James Brewer and Mary Ann Lent from Westchester County, New York. From the newspaper The New York Sun, we have the marriage announcement in 1842 in New York City of Miss Rene Brewer to John Evenshirer, "both of this city."

By 1848, John Evenshirer was


dead or otherwise out of the picture when Rene had another daughter, Letty Jane, with George W Duryea.

The 1850 United States Federal Census as well as the 1855 New York State Census list Mary Evenshirer with the surname of Rene's husband, George W Duryea.

Mary married Stephen C Duryea, a brother of George W Duryea, so she retained the surname Duryea for future records. The age difference must have been confusing to some. In the 1880 census, Mary's mother, Rene, was residing with Mary and Stephen in Pound Ridge. Stephen's age was 65, Mary was 38, and "mother" Rene was 64- no, make that 84 to try to make sense of this.

Mary's half-sister, Letty Jane Duryea, married Alfred Deciplet Eyre in 1868. Letty died in 1889 from complications ofa pregnancy. (She was originally buried in Hoboken Cemetery in North Bergen, Hudson County, New Jersey, but was relocated to Fairview Cemetery.) Mary had been widowed in 1887. Mary and Alfred married in 1890, combining their children into an Eyre/Duryea household. They were not just step-siblings; they were related by blood.

When Mary died in 1916, the informant, "Mr Eyre (son)," knew of her surname at birth and attempted to include it on the death certificate.

It is one of Charles' poems, A Road of Ireland, that provides me with a place of origin in Ireland for these two brothers: Ardara, Donegal. The author as well as the family history contained in this book make it


requested the original birth certificate from the state and was sent the amended birth certificate, which lists the adoptive parents as the biological parents. (Only births through 1923 are available to the public at the Archives in Trenton.)

The problem in determining the birth mother and father is that only the "unmarried" mother was listed in the adoption papers with no age. The surname belonged to a family in Newark of recent immigration from Germany. This was not a small family. Most members had multiple children and when a spouse died, the surviving spouse remarried and had more children. I had no shortage of possible parents, either using the surname as a birth name or a married name. It was (still is) possible that the birth mother was avisiting cousin from Germany, arrived in Newark in the 1930s, had a baby, and then went on her way- missed entirely in the 1930 and 1940 census.

Finding records on this family in Newark was not too difficult and actually dovetailed my research on my own Germany lines in Newark. They lived and worked in the same neighborhoods and attended the same churches. They probably knew one another and many generations later, their descendants also interact by happenstance.

I visited Saint Peter's Catholic Cemetery in Jersey City (Hudson County, New Jersey, United States) now that the weather is improving. (Thank you, R.B., for a lovely trip.)

The other Catholic cemetery in Jersey City is Holy Name, which is much larger. The records for both cemeteries are available on


DNA tested at FamilyTreeDNA. But it's worth a try.

I cannot go back very far on the direct paternal line. I am stuck at Hermann Lutter, born around 1860 in "Germany;" immigrated in the 1880s to Newark, New Jersey, United States. Hermann had a brother, Otto Lutter or Luther, who also appeared in New Jersey in the 1880s. On their marriage records, both brothers listed Wilhelm Lutter (Luther) as their father, though the name of their mother varied. Otto's line seems to have died out.terminals 1 and 3 receive input signals IN1 and IN2, respectively. The switch output terminals 2 and 4 provide output signals OUT1 and OUT2, respectively.
Four sets of field effect transistors 5a–5d, 6a–6d, 7a–7d, 8a–8d are arranged respectively between the switch input terminals 1 and 3 and the switch output terminals 2 and 4. Voltages of +Vc and 0 V are selectively applied as control voltages Vc1 and Vc2 to the control terminals 21 and 22, whereby the gate voltages of the field effect transistors 5a–5d, 6a–6d, 7a–7d, 8a–8d are controlled. As a result, the field effect transistors 5a–5d, 6a–6d, 7a–7d, 8a–8d go ON and OFF, and thereby switch the signal lines. In this example, the sources of the field effect transistors 5a–5d, 6a–6d, 7a–7d, 8a–8d are oriented toward

A shallow laterite hardpan underlay these mound areas, fulfilling another requirement of the Dalquest-Scheffer hypothesis. It is concluded that Mima mounds are the product of the burrowing of fossorial rodents such as pocket gophers and mole rats, and that these two groups are convergent in morphology, burrowing behavior, and impact on the landscape.Cricket: Primary Festival at Nunholm

Did you know that Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk was used as the primary location for 1964’s Tomb of Ligeia, Roger Corman’s last hurrah in American International Pictures’ Poe adaptations starring Vincent Price?

Founded in 1089 by Earl Warenne, Castle Acre Priory served as a Cluniac monastery inhabited by some 30 monks until it was dissolved in 1537 under Henry VIII, when it was turned over to Sir Edward Coke, whose descendant, the Earl of Leicester, now owns the ruins (under the administration of English Heritage).

Back in 1964, however, it famously stood in for the home Vincent Price’s tortured hero Verden Fell who, against his better judgement, takes a new wife – the(17), the West Range and Prior’s lodging house. This area was used in a scene in which Rowena pays Verden a visit and a night-time shot when the couple return from their honeymoon.

Stanford biologist awarded 2008 Sophie Prize in Norway

The Sophie Foundation in Oslo, Norway, has awarded Stanford University biologist Gretchen Daily the 2008 Sophie Prize. Established in 1997, the $100,000 prize is awarded annually to individuals or organizations that have "created awareness of alternatives to modern-day development and/or initiated such alternatives in a pioneering or particularly inventive manner," according to the foundation's website.

Daily, a professor of biology and senior fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment, is recognized for pioneering research that blends economics and ecology. The author of three books, including The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable, Daily co-founded the Natural Capital Project, which is developing practical ways to quantify the economic value of ecosystems and the services they provide.

In its announcement,


the Sophie Foundation recognized Daily as a world leader in "the debate on sustainable development and conservation of biological diversity. As a scientist she has shown that there are different ways to put a value on nature. She has shown us that there are also economical arguments for conserving species and eco-systems and demonstrated how this dimension can be included in political decisions. She is an outstanding scientist with a personal strength that has contributed new depth to the eco-system thinking/approach."

The prize will be presented on June 12 at a ceremony in Oslo.

The Sophie Foundation was founded by Norwegian author and environmentalist Jostein Gaarder, author of the novel Sophie's World, and his wife, Siri Dannevig, who teaches dramatic arts in Norway.half an hour before Malone had returned. Sheila? She would have had all day. Or Joseph ? Or even Lisa ?

He reached for the case again and took out the file. He began to read it again from the beginning. It now read like another story; or at least the story of another

man . . .

". . . Corliss kept very much to himself while working for the Water Board. He seems to have been incapable of communicating with other people. He had no friends there and belonged to none of the social clubs. He played golf at Moore Park,

months before he disappeared, those working closely with him in survey parties noticed a change in him. He still did not join them out of work hours in any


vouchers. "For yourself and Mr. Corliss, is that right? And the name of the third person ?"

"Mrs. John Corliss." The voucher for Quentin's ticket had been made out in the name that was on his warrant for arrest. Malone wondered how Sheila Quentin would re- act to hearing the name of another woman, a woman now

dead.

"And the address in case we want to get in touch with you?"

He gave the number of the house in Belgrave Square; the girl did not seem to attach any significance to it. "That will be another three hun- dred and ninety pounds, sir."

IT

XlE took out his traveller's cheques and the money he had won last night. He laid down the notes and wrote out cheques for the balance. "What time will wereach Sydney?"

"Seven - twenty Monday morning. Rather early, I'm

afraid."

But not too early for may-

hem.

"Enjoy your trip," said the girl, safe in the heart of Piccadilly.

Then he had come back to the house in Belgravia, come up to his room, taken off his jacket and shoes, picked up his briefcase and at once seen the scratches on the lock. Whoever had been in his room had not succeeded in opening the lock, but they had dam- aged it; it had taken him some time to open it and he had bent his key in the pro- cess. Now he lay on his bed wondering who had made the crude attempt to open the briefcase. Quentin himself? He had been home at least

which is a public course, and even there


had no friends; he played either alone or would join a pick-up four- some. None of. his workmates had ever met his wife or been invited to his home. Their neighbors in Coogee remem- ber him as a shy, morose man who never did more than pass the time of day with them; the wife, Freda, was also shy,

but one or two women re- member her as pleasant; she would not talk about her life before she came to Australia

". . . Certain of Corliss' workmates remember think- ing of him as unhappy. He appeared to be a man with- out ambition or interest, liv- ing only from day to day. Then, roughly three to four

annual holidays. He went away for a week. He did not take hiswife with him nor is it known where he went. He returned to work on Mon- day, December 8, 1941. His workmates noticed that he seemed troubled and unhappy again, but put it down to the news about Pearl Harbor. He was asked if he was going to enlist. He made one of his few confidences, of his private life; he said he would have to

see how his wife felt.

"Up till then, he said, she had been against his joining up; she had lost her parents to the Nazis and she did not want to lose her husband. But now the Japanese were in the war, he said, things might be different. He left work early that afternoon . ..."

Where had Quentin gone for that week alone? Why


had he not taken his wife? Had they had an argument on December 8 about his en- listing, an argument that had blown up into a fierce row, which had come to blows and in which she had been fatally

stabbed ?

". . . There is another gap in Corliss' movements. From leaving the head office of the Water Board at 3.30 p.m. on December 8, 1941, till he enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy at HMÀS Leeuwin, the Navy depot in Perth, Western Australia, on May 12, 1942 . . ."

Where had he been for those five months? Had he been going through torture that was only to be assuaged

when he met Sheila Red-

mond ? Malone flipped through several more pages.

". .. . On July 10, 1942, hemarried Sheila, daughter

of Leslie and Elizabeth Cous- ins Redmond, at the Registry Office, Perth. Nothing can be traced of Sheila Redmond's history prior to her marriage. When Corliss (now Quentin) became Minister Without Portfolio, Mrs. Quentin was interviewed by several news- papers. But all the articles written about her are vague about her beginnings. All that emerges is that she grew up on a farm in northern Queensland . '. "

"It's his afternoon 0ff" Sheila looked at Quentin h» eyes darkening with conten. "Have you lost track of the days? It's Thursday."

Quentin nodded his head sharply, as if annoyed with his own abstraction. "QI course. He's lucky, havuu; a afternoon off. Did he take that clock of mine to hr

mended?"

"He had it with him whet he went out."


Sheila hand«) Malone his drink. "HWi

that?"

Malone tasted the drink and coughed. He looked up at her, thinking how beautiful she looked even through the tem in his eyes, wondering what she had hoped to achieve by finding out what was in his briefcase. "Are you trying to

knock me out?"

She smiled. "Whisky is sup- posed to be medicinal. [ thought it might help you forget your bruises."

Which ones? he wanted to ask. The physical ones or thc bruises to his trust He had trusted her husband, gene much further than he should have as a policeman, and Quentin had rewarded him with lies. He looked at Quen- tin and said, "You wanted to see me about something?"

"How much do I owe you for Mrs. Quentin's air ticket? You gotus on Saturday's plane ?"

Malone nodded. "You ow me seventy pounds."

Both the Quentins looked at him curiously. "Seventy pounds for "a first-class air ticket to Sydney?" Quentin smiled. "What is it, bargain

He took another taste ot hi, drink, coughed because he Sd drunk it too fast then ^d, "Which one of you

killed Freda?"

Then there was a knock at the door and Lisa opened it «Superintendent Denzil and Sergeant Coburn are here,

sir."

Quentin had been staring at Malone. They both looked suddenly old; and just as suddenly Malone was stricken with pity again for them. He turned away from them, un- able to go on looking at them, and said to Lisa, You d better bring them in," he said, and for the second time m this house sounded authorita-


tive. The first time had also been with Lisa and she seemed to remember it. She looked at him with the be- ginning of resentment; then she smiled and nodded. She pushed the door wide open and looked into the hall.

"Would you come in, Superintendent?"

AlIE first thing that Malone noticed was how tired Denzil looked. Behind him Coburn, also tired, looked as if he did not believe what Denzil was telling Malone and

the others:

"We've found your Mr. Jamaica. His body was in a rented car outside the Chinese Government's office in Portland Place. He'd been garrotted." Denzil realised his mistake and looked at the two women. "Sorry, ladies. I didn't mean to be so blunt."

"I think my wife and Miss Pretorious should be ex- cused." Quentin had stoodSergeant Coburn looks over your visi- tors tonight? Discreetly, of course." He looked at Coburn and managed a smile that, though weary, had some warmth in it. "He doesn't wear very discreet ties, but otherwise he's very circum- spect."

Malone led the way out of the room into the hall, won- dering why Denzil wanted to take him out of the house to- night. He glanced up and saw a movement of yellow at the top of the stairs: Sheila had been wearing a yellow dress. But ' when he stopped and looked steadily up at the landing he saw nothing; he could feel Sheila Quentin watching him, but he could not see her. It dis- turbed him, suddenly reduced her to an ordinary criminal level. He turned back,


see was still in his office. A porter checked them in and they were led through a maze of corridors till they came to a door that said: Investment Counsellor.

The man in the office was not a Soudierner and spoke English that had only a faint transatlantic accent. "I'm Ed Royston," he said, rising to meet them. "I got your phone message, Superintend- ent. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Denzil came straight to the point. "I understand you are the new CIA man here, Mr. Royston."

Royston obviously thought that was not a very polite re- mark. "I'm afraid you're in the wrong office, sir. All I do is advise Americans where and how to invest their money in Europe."

Denzil looked around the office, at the charts on thewalls, the leather-bound books on the shelves, the stacks of the "Wall Street Journal" and the "Financial Times" on a tilted reading . bench against one wall. "You have a neat cover here. Your predecessor was a telecommunications en- gineer. I had a little trouble communicating with him, too." He smiled and looked back at Royston. "Don't let's waste time, Mr. Royston. I'd like some information about a man named Jamaica, first

name unknown."

Royston shook his head. "I'm afraid I've never heard of him."

"We have his body down at the morgue." Denzil was matter-of-fact and patient. "We found it in a car parked outside the Chinese, the Red Chinese, offices in Portland

Place."

Royston picked up a pen and began to doodle on the blotter on his desk. He looked at


Malone. "May I ask who you are. Mr. Malone ?"

"I'm from the New South Wales Police Force." said Malone, inventing his own cover. "Attached to the Aus- tralian High Commissioner for special duty."

"Why are you so interested in Jamaica?" Royston ad- dressed the question to both of them; then sat silent while Denzil told him everything they knew about the dead man. At last he said. "He didn't tell you much, did he?"

"Was he working for you ?" Denzil asked.

Royston shook his head. He seemed no longer interested in keeping up the pretence of being an investment counsel- lor. "We knew he was here,

The Binh Xuyen had everything wrapped up in Saigon - the brothels, the dope traffic, the gambling, the lot. Bay Vien ran the police and no one could do any- thing in Saigon without his

OK."

"How many were in the

sect?"

ROYSTON shrug-

ged. "About half a million. But their influence spread much wider than that. Then Ngo Dinh Diem became President and he got to work on them. Whatever else he was Diem was a moralist. He wasn't interested in any rake off from the brothels or any- thing else that the Binh Xuyen ran. He set his troops on them and wiped them out."

"All half a million of

them?"

"Not all of them. You can't find and kill half a million people, especially when they are out of


Jamaica had filed anything else on her."

"Who was Jamaica?" Malone was curious. Despite their antagonism, the man had tried to help him. "Where did he come from?"

"He was from some small

town in Georgia. He got out of the Army right after Korea finished, never went back to the States. I gather he was pretty bitter then about con- ditions for negroes down South, said he never wanted to go home again to being kicked around. He could have turned Communist, he had enough provocation, I guess.

But he didn't."

"What happened ?"

"He got this silk business going in Bangkok, did pretty

well out of it. But though he didn't want to go home, he never stopped being an Ameri- can. We approached him about three years ago. He re- fused ather."

"What then?"

"I'll have her watched so closely she won't be able to turn round without our know- ing it." They got into the waiting car and he flopped back against the seat. "Women! They're always the

worst of the lot."

"I wouldn't know," said Malone, thinking not of Madame Cholon but of Sheila Quentin. "I've still got to find

that out."

When Malone let himself into the house, with the key he had been given, Edgar was standing in the hall examin- ing his jowels in the big mir- ror. "I'm putting on weight. The harder I work and the more I worry, the fatter I get. What's new on the security front?"

Malone didn't feel in the mood for long expositions. "We're progressing. Where's

Coburn ?"

"In the library watching TV." Edgar turned away


men. There were formal good nights and Edgar ushered the Americans to the front door. Quentin nodded at Malone and the latter took the hint: he said good night to Larter. and walked along the hall to the library.

Coburn rose from one of the leather armchairs and turned off the television set in one corner of the room. "Well, how did it go?"'

Malone told him everything they had learned at the American Embassy. "Now all

you blokes have to do is pick up Madame Cholon.7'

"When are you going back ?"

"Saturday."

"Is Quentin going with you? I heard his wife say to him that she would have to start packing."

"Not that I know of," Malone lied; he was instinct- ively still protecting Quentin. "Where is Mrs. Quentin?"

"Upstairs in her room."

"Joseph backyet?" Coburn shook his head. "Lisa?"

"I gather she's working

late at Australia House."

Good, Malone thought, I'm going to get that hour alone with the Quentins. He opened the library door and looked out; Larter and Edgar had gone and Quentin was slowly climbing the stairs. "OK. I'll take over now. You can go and have a word with

your bird about purple ties."

Coburn went out, closing the door after him, a young man whose only trouble was a bird who was too much with it.

Malone knocked at the door of the Quentins' bedroom. He would rather have talked to them downstairs: but Lisa or

Joseph might be home any

minute.

Quentin opened the door and said, "Come in, Scobie."

He hesitated, then he stepped into the big room. Quentin closed the door and stood


with his back to it for a moment; Malone felt trapped and looked back over his shoulder defensively. Then Quentin moved away from the door, sat down beside Sheila on the wide four-poster

bed.

There was a chair beside the door covered in yellow Thai silk. Malone sat down on it. felt the Thai silk with his rough palm, thought of the dead Jamaica. Then he looked across at the Quen tins and made himself think of the dead Freda. "I'm re- peating my question," he said in his best formal police- man's voice, "which of you killed Freda Corliss?"

"I don't think we have to answer that," Quentin said after a moment. "I have ad- mitted causing the death of my first wife and you have a warrant for myThere was only Freda." She turned to Quentin.

"I was never in love with Freda nor she with me," Quentin said. "I realised that a month after we were mar-

ried. I was young and lonely, a boy from the bush. She was a good-looking girl and, well, I suppose you could say she had the attraction of being foreign. She didn't love me, she told me that a couple of years after we were married. Our marriage was just some sort of haven for her. And she never wanted to leave it. When I told her about Sheila, she just didn't want to know. She'd lock herself in her bed- room and not talk to me for days."

He looked at Sheila and she nodded sympathetically. Then she took up


with them, and told me to get out of the house, to leave John alone and not break up her mar- riage. I don't even know now if she intended hurting me with the scissors. She might even only have been trying to frighten me. All I know is that I grabbed them and we struggled and the next thing-"

Quentin moved across the room and took her in his arms. She buried her face against his chest and sobbed quietly. He held her to him and looked over her head at Malone.

"She sat there with Freda till I came home a couple of hours later. Both of us wanted to go to the police and each of us talked the other out of

it.

"But maybe you wouldn't understand that,about those." Quen- tin's cheque was in his pocket. The envelope had been lying sealed on his bed when he had gone upstairs to wash his hands just before dinner. He was not going to argue about it any more. "They're on the five-thirty plane Saturday."

"And you, too?" He nod- ded. "Scobie, what is going on? You know more than you're telling me."

He didn't reply at once, dodged behind a mouthful of food. He was hungry, but he had no taste; Lisa had told him he was eating Osso Buceo, but it could have been dog's meat. At last he said, "I can't tell you anything, Lisa. Not yet, anyway."

"They're not going to sack him, are they?"

"I don't think so." Quentin would resign before they sacked him. He


hand, came to the door.

"You wanted something,

miss?"

Lisa shook her head. "No, it's all right, Joseph. Have

a nice afternoon?"

"Yes, thank you." It had been one of the worst after- noons of his life; nothing in Budapest had been worse. "Good night, miss. Good night, sir."

Joseph withdrew and they heard him going down the

lower stairs that led to his room in the basement. Lisa turned back to the table, but Malone said, "What was the matter with him, I wonder? He looked ill. Or anyway un- happy."

"He might have personal problems, too. Butlers do, I suppose."

JOSEPH stood

for a moment at the top of the stairs that led up from the basement. Quentin was say- ing goodbye to Sheila. Both of them looked tired and wor- ried; Quentin kissed his wifecomfortingly on the cheek. Sheila raised both hands and seemed to clutch at him through the shoulders of his jacket; she said something, and Quentin shook his head sadly. Joseph stood studying them, and for the first time since they had come to this house he began to have some feeling for them.

Then the front-door-bell

rang and he walked along past the Quentins and opened the door. Larter stood there; the Rolls was at the kerb.

"Coming," said Quentin, and looked up at Malone as the latter came down the stairs. "You'd better cash that cheque today. There may not be time tomorrow."

Malone nodded reluctantly. "This reception tonight, sir

what's the dress?"

"I've already told Joseph to lay out my extra tails for you. I'm afraid it's full dress again. Decorations if


you have any."

Malone grinned, but his joking was an effort this morning. "I have my Bondi surf club's bronze medal."

"I'd wear it, Mr. Malone," said Sheila. "It means as much as some of the other decorations you'll see to- night."

Joseph was aware of some sort of atmosphere between the Quentins and Malone; you could not live in other people's houses and remain insensitive to currents in re- lationships. Quentin kissed his wife again, then led Malone out of the house. Joseph closed the front door and turned back as Sheila spoke to

him. "Joseph, would you ' bring up the three large suit- cases from the storeroom?"

He hid his surprise. "You're going away, madame?"

"Just a short holiday. My

husband needs a rest."

"He does look tired. And

you, too madame. When win

youlonger interested her. Joseph studied her for a moment, then closed the door and wenr back downstairs and down to the basement. He went through the kitchen, ignoring

the three women still there and into his own room. He locked the door and sat down on the bed and took the cheque from his pocket. It wasn't riches, but it was a good price for murder. Especially when the alterna- tive was a sort of bankruptcy.

He hadn't quite believed it when the small oriental man had come up beside him yes- terday in Knightsbridge and said, "Would you come wiá me, sir? I have a gun in my pocket -"

He had looked down and saw that the man had one hand in the pocket of his cheap, ill-fitting jacket.

"Avenue


Road, St. John's Wood," said Pham Chinh to the driver of a taxi which stopped right by them.

Joseph showed no sign of being afraid, but his hand was clutched tightly on the clock in its brown-paper bag. It was a poor weapon, but it was the only one he had. "Are you from one of the embassies?"

"Mr. Chen wants to iee

you," said Pham Chinh.

Joseph pursed his lips, went to say something, then sat back. "Why the gun, then ? Did he think I wouldn't come ?"

Pham Chinh shrugged and

smiled. "One never knows. We had to see if you were the man we wanted. You have just proved you are."

Joseph was puzzled, but said nothing. The two mei sat in silence all the way to St. John's Wood. PhamChinh gave the number of the house in Avenue Road to the driver and the taxi pulled into a gravelled courtyard in front or a large neo-Georgian house Joseph got out and waited while the man paid the driver. Up till now he had always met Chen and Pa» m shabby restaurants at various mainline railway stations around London; the Russians had chosen slightly better meeting places, such as we restaurant at Festival Hail Neither of them had ever asked him to meet them a' such a stylish rendezvous a» this. He was impressed though still puzzled.

The taxi driver drove away Pham Chinh led the way

at the Marx-Engels school at Gorky, then at Verkhovnoye, and, finally, at Gaczyna. They had taught him all the uses of guns and explosives, but no amount of teaching and propaganda could make one a killer unless the urge to kill was already there, like a seed waiting to be nurtured. They had never recognised that the

seed was not in him and he had never told them. His primary use was as an agent, at which, up till now, he had been good; and an agent, if he is really good, should never be in a situation where he has to kill. But now the situa- tion had at last arrived.

"I couldn't kill him in cold blood," he said.

"It would be best if we could devise some wayhave money there?" She nodded, just as he had guessed she would. The Russians and the Chinese paid him through Switzerland: neutrality had its uses. "I'll take the cheque with me today."

"And if I refuse?"

He sat back, playing his

biggest bluff. "Then you will

have to find someone else to do your dirty work. And you will have the trouble and in- convenience of disposing of

me."

"It would be no trouble at all," said Madame Cholon, thinking of the dead man up- stairs. It would be no more difficult to dispose of two corpses than to dispose of one. She wondered if the Chinese would appreciate the joke if she planted a Russian spy, as well as an American one, on their doorstep. She studied Joseph, tempted by the idea of

Madame Cholon held out her hand and after a moment's puzzlement Joseph handed her the bag. She took out the small clock in its blue leather case and studied it.

"Leave the clock with me. It will be mended. Pham Chinh will meet you to- morrow and return it with instructions. I shall phone yow

at ten o'clock."

Joseph stood up. "There is one more thing. I shall take the cheque now."

She stared at him for a long moment, as if debating whether the gamble she was taking on him was too big. Then she moved to a desk in one corner of the room, wrote out a cheque, and brought it back to him. "There has to be a certain amount of trust in this, monsieur.

ambassador turned back with two loaded plates. Madame Cholon took her without protest, but bad to hold it with two hands. "Cementing Afro - Asian relations, eh,

madame ?"

Madame Cholon smiled in agreement, and Malone won- dered what had happened to her color bar: the ambassador was much darker than Jamaica had been. "Have you seen Mr. Jamaica tonight?"

he said.

The smile froze on her face, but only for a moment. "Mr. Jamaica? Oh, the American gentleman. No."

"Nice fellow," said the am- bassador, eating heartily. "Told me his great-great- grandfather came from my country. Must have been my great-great-grandfather who sold him." He laughed again, almost choking on his food.

Malone handed Lisa a plate and began to eat from his own. Other guests had come into the room, and suddenlyhead, seemed to look at Sheila for the first time. "To- morrow afternoon."

"Sheila glanced at Malone, then said. "Not on the plane through Singapore?" Madame Cholon nodded, a slight crease of puzzlement spoiling the smoothness of her brow. "Then you'll have Mr. Malone as a travelling com- panion."

The two Chinese, in hired dress suits that did not fit them, had come to the table. Malone was aware of a cer

tain tenison on Madame Cholon's part toward the two Chinese, but Chen did not seem to reciprocate it. He was completely at ease, ex- cept for the inconvenience of his dress coat, which was at least a size too big for him. Pai, for his part, stood ner- vously in the background, staring steadily at Madame

Cholon.

Sheila drew Malone aside.


"Do you think she plans-?"

Malone ' shook his head. "Not here. She's shot her bolt, I think. Otherwise she wouldn't have come our into the open."

"Isn't there something you

can do?"

"What? Arrest her? On what grounds? Suspicion isn't enough. I've had a little lec- ture from Sergeant Coburn on that." He saw Coburn standing in the doorway and nodded to him. "Here he comes now. Maybe he is go- ing to arrest her, after all."

Coburn came up to them. "There is a phone call for you, Mrs. Quentin."

Sheila was puzzled. 'Tor

me ? Here ?"

"One of the waiters brought the message. He's over there." Sheila, still looking puzzled, excused herself and went over to the waiter standing in the doorway. When she had gone Coburn turned to Malone, jerking hisyou have your gun?"

Malone patted his armpit. "I don't think he's the violent type."

"You never know. When a man's faced with years in prison, he might try any- thing."

Yes, thought Malone. And a woman, too: if she were faced with years in prison, would she try suicide? He felt suddenly cold inside. He crossed the pavement on the run, went up the steps and into the hall as Quentin came stumbling toward him.

"She's not here! And neither is Joseph!"

Madame Cholon dismissed the car that had brought her home and let herself in the front door. She felt appre- hensive, and the unaccus- tomed anxiety began to mani- fest itself as a rising fury. When Pham Chinh came into the hall to meet her she snarled at him. "Is


she here?"

He nodded toward the drawing-room. "In there. I didn't know whether to let her in-"

Madame Cholon waved a curt hand of dismissal' and went by him and into the drawing-room. The two women stared at each other for a while in silence.

Then Madame Cholon snapped, "I hope what you have to say, Mrs. Quentin, is important. I was enjoying myself at the reception-"

"What I have to say won't take ten minutes," said Sheila, and drew back the sleeve of her coat to look at her watch. "A little less."

Madame Cholon turned to Pham Chinh, who stood in the doorway. "You may go,

Pham."

"I'd rather he stayed with us," said Sheila. "If he was concerned with you in the attempts on my husband's life, then he must stay."

Madame Cholonland Yard on the radio. Coburn sat in the back of the car, frustrated and worried by a sense that something was about to happen that could and should be stopped. He looked at his watch: Ten twenty-four . . .

Sheila opened the black bag. "My one regret is I did not say goodbye to my hus- band. But that would have ruined everything-"

Madame Cholon lunged toward Sheila, screaming at the top of her voice for Pham Chinh to help her. Sheila now had her hand in the bag; she snatched it out and showed the small leather-cased clock. She fell away from Madame Cholon, wrenched the case open, and fumbled with thc

alarm release.

Coburn heard the scream. He was halfway across the road when the windows of the

said nothing, having only awkward words that would have embarrassed both himself and Quentin. The small res- taurant, dark and a little shabby, in which they sat, was a long way from the glittering style of Lancaster House; but Quentin himself had suggested it.

"I'm going to Malaysia," Quen- tin said. "There are several Colombo Plan teams there and I'm joining one of them."

"What will you do?"

"You forget I was once a sur- veyor. I'm qualified, and I was a good one. At least I thought I was," he added. The old air of confidence had gone, and with it gone he looked older. "I'll need some toughening up to plod up and down some of those jungle

MPs will debate parental involvement in teaching after a row over whether children should learn about LGBT relationships.

The row, sparked by storybooks featuring different families, has caused protests outside schools in Birmingham since January.

The adjournment debate was put forward by Roger Godsiff whose constituency covers one of the schools involved.

He has previously supported protesters outside the school gates.

The Labour MP for Hall Green was given a warning by Labour's chief whip , Nick Brown, on 14 June not to repeat his support for the protestors outside Anderton Park Primary School


who argue pupils are "too young" to learn about LGBT relationships, which they also say contradict Islam.

Mr Godsiff was filmed earlier this month telling lead organiser Shakeel Afsar the protesters had a "just cause" and were "right".

The BBC has approached the Labour Party for a comment about Tuesday's debate, scheduled for 19:00 BST.

The Party previously said Mr Godsiff's comments "do not reflect the Labour Party's position in any way and his behaviour falls below the standards expected of a Labour MP".

An injunction has been put in place around the school to keep protesters from gathering at the gates.

BERLIN, August 16. /TASS/. Germany’s Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggests organising as soon as possible a meeting of military representatives of the parties to the Ukrainian conflict and OSCE. "The situation in Ukraine’s east is potentially explosive," he said in an interview with Germany’s Bild am Sonntag. "Last week, during conversations with the Ukrainian and Russian foreign ministers I suggested organising not in two weeks, but as soon as possible, a meeting of military representatives of the conflicting sides and of OSCE in order to discuss how it may be possible to defuse the situation and to achieve withdrawal of the weapons." "Quite a lot is at stake," the foreign minister said.

Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare subset of Hodgkin lymphoma that is distinct from classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). The unique malignant 'popcorn' cells express the B-cell antigen CD20 and lack expression of the cHL markers CD15 and CD30. Traditionally, NLPHL has been included with cHL in clinical trials with excellent prognosis reported in several series. The reliable expression of CD20 has led to the evaluation of the chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab in several recent trials. Three series have reported the efficacy of 4 weekly doses of rituximab in all stages of NLPHL, both in the treatment-naive and relapsed settings. Emerging data also suggest that longer courses of antibody therapy may improve


stress fibers, where the complexes act on a subpopulation of mTOR-positive vesicles associated with the cytoskeleton. Local inhibition of mTORC1 is essential to initiate autophagy at sites of filamin unfolding and damage. At the same time, BAG3-mediated sequestration of TSC1/TSC2 relieves mTORC1 inhibition in the remaining cytoplasm, which stimulates protein translation. In human muscle, an exercise-induced association of TSC1 with the cytoskeleton coincides with mTORC1 activation in the cytoplasm. The spatial regulation of mTORC1 exerted by BAG3 apparently provides the basis for a simultaneous induction of autophagy and protein synthesis to maintain the proteome under mechanical strain.Offshore tax havens cost W.Va. $106 million, report says

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- American corporations using offshore addresses to avoid paying domestic taxes cost West Virginia $106 million last year, according to a national report released Wednesday.

The report -- "The Hidden Cost of Offshore Tax havens: State Budgets Under Pressure from Tax Loophole Abuse" -- was prepared by the national nonprofit group United States Public Interest Research Group. The report was released locally by the West Virginia Citizen Action Group at the state Capitol on Wednesday.

"Tax dodging is not a victimless offense. When corporations skirt taxes, the public is stuck with the tab. And since offshore tax dodgers avoid both state and federal taxes, they hurt everyday taxpayers twice," said Dan Smith, PIRG's tax and budget advocate. "West Virginia should


2003–04 FC Schalke 04 season

FC Schalke 04 had another disappointing season, in spite of the success of new stadium and UEFA Champions League final host Arena AufSchalke. Within weeks in the autumn, Schalke's chances of winning a trophy was slashed, losing to Brøndby in the UEFA Cup and a humiliating collapse to Freiburg in the extra time of the domestic cup, losing 7–3. The seventh position in the league also ensured Schalke had to go through the Intertoto Cup to reach European competitions, putting further pressure on coach Jupp Heynckes.

phosphorus head of a match against the emery on the side of the box. It didn’t take long for the nylon nets of Madison Square Garden to become engulfed in the flames that Curry’s picture perfect jumpshots were concocting.

Curry completed the most impressive game of the NBA season last night, one of the best games in the history of the most storied arena (Madison Square Garden) in the league and perhaps the greatest shooting performance of all-time. He played all 48 minutes, dropped 54 points, dished out seven assists, grabbed six rebounds and compiled three steals, all while shooting 18-of-28 from the field (64%) and an incomprehensible 11-of-13 from three (85%), setting a franchise record for makes from behind the arc. Curry’s night started off as a continuation


and his silky smooth shot often overshadows the rest of his offensive game, which is also very good. And though his advanced defensive numbers are poor, Mark Jackson constantly reiterates that Curry has done what is asked of him defensively, and the eye test somewhat agrees that Curry has done well in Golden State’s revamped pick-and-roll defensive scheme.

As of right now, Curry ranks fifth in the NBA amongst point guards in PER at 20.75. The four above him are Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving, four all-NBA caliber performers. If we go back to last season, Curry was sixth in the league in PER (21.23) amongst point guards, with Derrick Rose bumping Curry from the top five. I’d also acknowledge the potential for Deron Williamsmar his greatest work, whether it is on the next possession or the next night. But alas, Ellis is largely the same player he was a few years ago, wowing you with his tremendously packaged set of scoring and passing skills on some nights, while forcing you to change the channel out of anger twice as often.

Ellis put together a perfect combination of what makes him fun and what makes him horrid last night against the Rockets. As has been the case since J.J. Redick was brought in at the trade deadline, Ellis spent the majority of last night’s game playing both guard positions. When Brandon Jennings was in the game, he was the off guard, and when Redick subbed in for Jennings, Ellis ran point. Ellis did


the eyes as the clock ticks down to single digits, stuttering his dribble to size-up Lin and the clock, conjuring up his post-game celebration in his head. But then, the unexpected happened: Lin plays sound positional defense and Jennings, who never made a strong move to get free, is stuck 21 feet from the basket with no live dribble and a man baring down on him.

But there is hope. With 2.1 seconds left, out of the corner of his eye, Jennings spots Ellis sweeping across the floor towards the top of the key. With such little time left on the clock, Ellis may receive the ball with no time left to fire a shot, but Jennings is better off not ending the game with the ball in hisin 2008 as an outlet for his praise of Michael Crabtree and has since been credentialed by major organizations like the NBA, NFL, MLB, Nike and Team USA Basketball. He also covered the past two NBA Finals for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.


Police broke up protests held after Friday prayers, as opposition called for more demonstrations.

Sudanese security forces have arrested a top opposition leader following a crackdown on new anti-government demonstrations held in several cities on Friday.

The protests were the latest in a wave of demonstrations that began across much of Sudan on December 19 – first against a rise in prices but later against the government of President Omar al-Bashir, in power since a 1989 military coup.

The demonstrations coincide with worsening economic woes that saw a currency devaluation, fuel shortages and a steep rise in the price of bread, a main fare for most Sudanese.

The opposition Sudanese Congress Party said that a few hours after protests began in Omdurman on the west bank of the Nile on Friday, itschief, Omar el-Digeir, was arrested by security forces.

“He has been taken to an unknown location,” the party said in a statement.

The Sudanese Writers’ Association said that well-known poet, Mohamed Taha, had also been arrested on Tuesday after he participated in a protest in Khartoum, the capital.

“We don’t know his whereabouts,” the association said.

The Sudanese journalists’ network said that two scribes were also detained.

As many as 19 people have been killed so far in the crackdown on protesters, the government said, but Amnesty International put the death toll at 37 since December 19.

The United Nations on Friday called on the authorities in Sudan to investigate the deaths.

Changes for serious crimes are needed to stop the unintended release of suspects

April 3, 2010

Pedro Lebron and Wickney Utile were arrested on murder charges in separate cases in Orange County in 2004. The two men would end up with something else in common: They were released within weeks of each other in 2005, the charges against them dismissed, after their cases failed to go to trial within state time limits. Prosecutors blamed a mix-up in one case, and disappearing witnesses in the other.

Citing such cases, state Rep. Eric Eisnaugle of Orlando has proposed tweaking the time limits. His proposal deserves approval in the Legislature.

Both the Florida and U.S. constitutions guarantee a criminal defendant the right to a speedy trial. That right stems from the


bales in a block shaped configuration. Once a stack of this nature has been formed on the third table, it may be either transported or unloaded. In the case of the latter, the load bed is pivoted to an upright position for depositing the stack on the ground with the first tier of bales that was formed on the second table becoming the lowermost tier in contact with the ground and the last formed tier being the uppermost or top tier of the stack.
In order to enhance the stability of stacks of bales, it is desirable to provide what is commonly referred to as tie tiers within the stack. A tie tier has individual bales selectively arranged to overlap two bales in adjacent tiers. Formation of a tiethe proper position as the stack is being formed. Electronic or mechanical memory systems are used to define a plurality of bale arrays representing various tier patterns, including tie tiers, as discussed above, as well as standard tiers in which the long dimension of all the bales in the tier are aligned.
Regardless of the system used, as mentioned above all tiers are commonly formed with all the outside surfaces of the bales in the tier aligned vertically with adjacent tiers in the final stack arrangement. One exception to this in the past has been the need to form a standard bottom tier without the twine being in contact with the ground, regardless of the position of the outer edges of the bales in the tier. This can result

FRANCE24 TELEVISION: We bring you a shocking insight into the horror of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the east of the country, thousands of women, children and even men were raped last November. A crime committed not by the M23 rebels, but by the regular army, supposed to protect the population. Our reporter Fiona Lloyd-Davies went to Minova in South Kivu province, where the rapists are now coming face to face with their victims in court.

The Western ''experts'' on DRC and Western ''humanitarians'' are afraid of M23 having a voice on the social media. They are afraid that a different narrative from the one they have been perpetuating will reveal the truthabout the real causes of the conflict.
There is a war going on against the voices of the victims of Kabila's government, against the truth about the root causes of the conflict in East DRC and against a different narrative from that being perpetuated by the international community and Western ''experts'' on the DRC. But the truth can not and shall not be silenced. The victims shall continue to make their voices heard loud and clear.

It felt a bit like déjà vu.

During his end of season media availability, Jozy Altidore alludes to a piece he felt the club had been missing in the Final — not to mention throughout the year.

It wasn’t that long ago, in 2016, that he sat in the same seat, after Toronto FC had failed to break down the Seattle Sounders the first time. Back then he bemoaned the club’s lack of a creative attacking midfielder. The front office responded by signing Victor Vazquez, the prelude to the most successful season in MLS history.

In 2019, Toronto FC again failed to break down a defensively resilient Seattle team. This time, however, they weren’t missing a locksmith; they were missing someone who could do damage once the door was wide open

“Weagainst Seattle the result would have turned out differently

After all, he was the lone TFC player who was able to find the back of the net on the day. Shame it came down 3-0 at the tail end of his 22 minutes of play — the total amount of time the American-born striker spent on the field throughout the 2019 playoffs.

Altidore started only 18 games during the season. He started a mere 12 in 2018. With 0.59 goals per 96 this past season (12th in MLS), Altidore remains lethal when he’s on the field, but he isn’t on it near enough.

A longer offseason should help the 30-year-old recover to some extent, but Toronto FC need a reliable Plan B when he isn’t available. Even when he is, the


club relied far too heavily on himself and Pozuelo to do all the heavy lifting offensively this year.

Greg Vanney was able to find ways to get by.

During the playoffs, the solution was to play Pozuelo as a false nine. It worked well enough to get Toronto FC to the MLS Cup Final, but was hardly ideal. The team only managed 0.14 expected goals against Atlanta United, and 0.93 despite all of their possession in the Final. It is not a viable long-term option, as we saw on Sunday

Throughout the match, and especially in the first half, Toronto FC were able to get themselves in good attacking positions, only to stall in the final third. For as much as Tsubasa Endoh tried, Toronto never had a true threat inhis DP status. If Toronto FC can convince Bradley to take a TAM contract — which he told The Athletic’s Joshua Kloke that he would — then they have an avenue to acquire a significant player.

Given how Toronto finished this past season, a side with a rested Pozuelo and Altidore, plus Bradley and another designated player attacker would instantly become a favourite to get back to MLS Cup.

During their playoff run, Toronto FC showed signs of greatness once again, but they need more firepower in order to truly count themselves among the league’s elite.


and was caused by the practice among a particular tribal community called the Fore of eating human brains.

They would eat their dead as a mark of respect at mortuary feasts. This led to a major epidemic of kuru which, at its height in the late 1950's, caused the death of up to 2% of the population each year.

Prof John Collinge at the Medical Research Council's Prion Unit at University College London has been studying kuru for more than 20 years in order to find a treatment for other forms of CJD. He was particularly interested in those people in the Fore who seemed to be resistant to kuru.

Protection

Prof Collinge and his team found that they had a change in one of their genes, called the prion protein geneOne of my sixty four (4) G- Grandparents was named Isaac Bynum. He is discussed by J.E. Bynum at the start of his "History of the Bynum Family", first page, first paragraph, and first sentence: "The father of my grandfather, John Bynum, was named Isaac." He then goes on to talk about other things, but never mentions Isaac again. Maybe that is all that he knew about his great grandfather, maybe the first family did not associate with the second family, and maybe he never visited Maynard Cove in Jackson Co., Alabama. But I have. In fact I have visited on each of the past four weekends, and it has rained every time. Maynard Cove is a wonderful place, and different from other places in a number of


ways.

This area of Northeast Alabama was a natural path way for the white settlers as the Indians lost control of more and more of their lands. Some of the settlers found the coves of the area inviting and stayed. This area is north of the Tennessee River, so the decision about where and how to cross the river had not been required. Apparently Isaac and his son James did that while the rest of his family continued on to BlountCounty. James moved on to DeKalbCounty later; but Isaac stayed and died in the area at the age of about 87 years. But I do not think anyone has ever identified his grave.

The mountains in this part of North Alabama are bigger and better than they are in BlountCounty.and maybe ten miles long, with a number of smaller branches that extent into smaller coves. I did not do any digging but I bet the top soil is six feet deep. The coves appear to have been formed by the top soil washing down from the mountains and then the Tennessee flooding and leveling the cove, until the TVA project tamed the river. The concept of Tennessee River flooding needs additional research but the present river level in that area is 595 feet and Maynard Cove, 8 to 10 miles to the northwest where Isaac Jr.’s farm at HollandChurch is located, is 640 feet. The history of the Tennessee River is rich with tales of huge spring time flooding, prior to the TVA dams.

The Holland’s ChapelUnitedMethodistChurch is


on the corner of the 160 acres that Isaac Jr. owned at Maynard Cove.I looked for a cornerstone with information about when the church was organized, etc. but in the rain I did not spend much time.

Water flow is different from BlountCounty also. Much of the surface water in Maynard Cove ends up in a sink. This is a reverse spring. Water comes from a spring, it goes into a sink. North Alabama is laced with limestone caves formed by water flowing through the mountains from sinks on one side to springs on the other side, sometimes miles away. The water supply for my town of Madison comes from an underground river that flows from middle Tennessee, a hundred miles to the north.

JacksonCounty is rich with small oldfeet, almost far enough to serve as the drive way for the house on the corner. Then it became a gravel road, later a dirt single lane road and after two additional houses a single lane with grass and weeds growing under the car. On my first visit I wondered what I would do when I met another car, how could we pass, but in four visits I have never seen another car on Jackson County Road #533. But it was raining each time; maybe they come out in fair weather. Most roads always dead ended at the mountain, but today this road ends at the far side of the cemetery where the farmer has placed a pasture gate across the road. The final half mile of County


found a grave marked as the resting place of Isaac and Susan Haney, at BynumCemetery, but the dates are wrong for our Bynum family. They are one generation too young. Also another family has claimed these as the trunk of their tree. So it will take additional research to determine the full relationship of the Haney and Bynum families.

My bottom line is that JacksonCounty is a rich area for Bynum Family research, and a nice place to work. I have not been to the courthouse, but I am told that many of the county records have been lost over the years to fire and also to action during the War Between the States. This area was important to both sides because of the railroad linking Memphis, Tennessee andthat she was 21 weeks pregnant and bleeding heavily. The end-diastolic blood flow through the umbilical cord had also reversed—a sign that fetal demise was imminent. She had been told there was no hope for her baby, a boy, and wanted to know from others if that was really true. She went on to say that she had been asking her doctor about delivery and photocopying information about miracle babies weighing only 300 grams who had survived. But, she added, she knew that her son would have to reach 500 grams to have a chance on the outside. (Her baby’s estimated weight was only just upward of 200 grams, though such estimates can be some ways off.) Other women, many based in the U.S., chimed in, holding out
