Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore has had a hell of a time getting programs to series over the past couple of years, with project like 17th Precinct and an ABC western failing to make it to television, but this year he been pushing into television a little more productively. Now, Moore may be landing a series order with Helix, a thriller featuring a potential disease outbreak. Moore is currently in talks with former BSG network, Syfy, to work out a 13-episode straight-to-series deal for the project.

Helix will follow scientists living in an Arctic research facility. When the threat of a potential disease hits the men and women living in the research facility, they must come together and attempt to


the setting and football coaches as the leaders, supporting early help seeking behaviour among young males experiencing mental health difficulties, especially depression, was tested.

Football clubs, which are a social hub in many rural communities, were seen as an effective conduit to access young people experiencing mental health difficulties. The Coach the Coach project, with the sub-title *don\'t wait - talk to a mate*, resulted from this initiative. A community welfare organisation and regional football league combined to develop the project. With financial support from *beyondblue*, the Rural Health Academic Centre at The University of Melbourne assessed the impact of the project.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an established training initiative which aims to promote response to mental health problems in a similar way to more established first aidrespond to mental health issues, especially depression. It was hoped that these key individuals may become a resource for club players. By providing a readily identifiable, respected and easily accessed source of help (football coach), it was anticipated that football club members may be empowered to respond earlier and effectively to personal or peer mental health issues before a serious mental health crisis developed \[[@B15],[@B16]\]. Recognising the contribution rural sports clubs make to the social capital of rural Australia \[[@B17]\], the project sought to use both the established social structure and the credibility of football club leaders. It was hoped that coaches could be used as enablers to foster early help seeking behaviour especially in young rural males linked to those rural football clubs.

This paper reports on the


evaluation of the Coach the Coach project undertaken during 2007 and early 2008 and discusses the provision of MHFA training in a cluster of football clubs in a rural Australian football league. The project aimed to: increase football club leaders\' mental health literacy and confidence, especially about depression; promote an environment that enhances early and effective response to mental health concerns by players; and utilise rural football clubs to facilitate increased awareness of mental health issues, among those associated with football clubs and the local community. Integrated multifaceted interventions may be more effective than single interventions in promoting individual behaviour change \[[@B18]\]. The project therefore adopted the following linked approaches:

• Football club coaches (and other club leaders) underwent mental health first aid training (12 hrs over three weeks)using the previously established MHFA training protocol \[[@B8]\].

• Mental health information was provided to football club members, especially players, using both formal (e.g. specific meetings) and informal approaches (e.g. making written information material available)

• The prominent community position of rural football clubs was utilised to facilitate wider community mental health information sessions that included, where possible, a presentation on the issue of responding to depression by a high profile sportsperson.

• Awareness of mental health issues was informally promoted to football club members through the rural football league and local media.

Methods
=======

A mixed method approach with a before-after controlled intervention was used to assess the impact of the Coach the Coach project. Football club coaches, other club leaders and players were recruited to the assessment process through the internal communication


processes of their club. In addition information about Coach the Coach came from the participating football league, and through the local media. A multifaceted approach to assessment of the impact of Coach the Coach was undertaken using the following:

Football club leaders trained in MHFA
-------------------------------------

• Variables measured included ability to recognise depression and schizophrenia from a clinical scenario, knowledge of evidence supported treatment options, and attitudes including confidence in responding to mental health difficulties. A self-completed questionnaire that had been used in previous MHFA research \[[@B12]\] was used. It was administered immediately before training and six months later, providing pre-post measures. (The inclusion of vignettes depicting depression and schizophrenia reflects the importance of supporting early help seeking behaviour for these conditions \[[@B19]\].)

• Focus group interviews of a number ofthese individuals investigating their experience of the training, its impact within their club and their experience in responding to mental health difficulties.

Football club players
---------------------

• Variables measured included attitudes to depression and treatment options, and ability to recognise depression from a clinical scenario. A self-completed customised questionnaire was used. It was administered at the beginning of the project and again six months later. Although these players had not directly participated in the training, many were exposed to club information about the project and its aims, and may have attended the community mental health information sessions. Therefore, players from another football league 250km away that had not been involved in MHFA training, were recruited to complete this questionnaire at the same time as the follow-up (six month) data collection.

many social responsibilities of rural football clubs. Initial apprehension turned to enthusiasm when the opportunity to contribute to the lives of young footballers became clear.

*I was excited about the opportunity \... being involved with Under 18\'s it might help my understanding about what planet they are on*. Participant 02

Empowerment and early application of skills

Many reported going back to their clubs enthused and empowered by the experience of the training. A number reported an early positive impact on the players in their clubs, utilising the training material. Some utilised the written material presented as part of the training program in their clubs, others spoke more directly to their players.

*I heard them*\[players\]*talking about it in the showers, so it obviously provoked them \....So if nothing else the players and thefootball coaches/club leaders as frequently having achieved success and recognition among club players. Utilising these dual influences was seen as an appropriate way to drive the knowledge, awareness and attitudinal changes needed to effectively address mental health issues in rural communities.

The community depression information sessions facilitated by participating clubs were regarded as a valuable part of the project. In addition to promoting awareness of depression and addressing the frequently reported associated stigma, these sessions announced both to the club members and the local community that individuals, trained in MHFA were available as a contact and for support. This was emphasised in the following comment made by one stakeholder:

\[You\]*can\'t have mental health skilled people running around in stealth; people need to know who they are in the clubs*.

Wide variation


in strength and functional structure of football clubs was reported and felt to be important although no broadly applicable formula for success with a project such as Coach the Coach in these clubs was suggested. Finally, the project was reported to be more time demanding than originally anticipated. One participant noted the need for \'invisible time\', referring to the time required to develop links, promote confidence, provide support and facilitate networking.

Discussion
==========

Previous research focusing on the development of football club leaders\' mental health skills, including the use of MHFA training, linked with the associated use of Australian rural football clubs to promote early response to mental health concerns, is limited. This study builds upon recently reported Australian research, which focused on mental health literacy training for junior sporting clubsstudy was undertaken in a rural area; a number of the findings may be specific to rural settings and possibly less applicable in larger population centres with potentially different dynamics related to the influence of the football club on mental health programs. The high attrition rate of players is a limitation of this study. This attrition meant that detection of significant change in the views of players over the duration of the project was difficult to recognise. Attrition of players from the study may have been less had the project been completed within a single football season.

Conclusions
===========

This study suggests that football clubs may be appropriate social structures to act as the base for initiatives to increase mental health capacity in rural communities. It suggests that football club leaders


An eight-year-old boy presented to the emergency department (ED) with a 2cm-long laceration over the prepatellar region of his left knee after falling over and cutting his knee on broken glass. Physical examination demonstrated the laceration breached the dermis but otherwise there was no obvious defect in the deep fascial layer. He had a free range of motion of his knee and clinically his extensor mechanism was intact; however, a plain lateral radiograph showed that he had pneumarthrosis of his knee joint. Within six hours of injury the wound was formally explored in the operating room and a small breach in the knee capsule was found. The wound edges were debrided, the knee joint irrigated and the skin closed primarily. Following surgery he received 24 hours of antibioticdirected by Harold Lloyd

22 August 2016, 16:15

Scotland's top law officer has agreed it would be "inconceivable'' for there not to be a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into last year's deadly M9 crash, as he revealed there is still considerable work to be carried out on the case.

Lamara Bell, 25, and John Yuill, 28, died after lying in a crashed car for three days after the incident was first reported to police.

Mother-of-two Ms Bell was critically injured in the crash off the motorway near Stirling and later died in hospital. Her partner Mr Yuill died at the scene.

It emerged that a phone call to police reporting a vehicle off the road on July 5, 2015 was not followed up.

Investigations were launched into the crash and


the wider circumstances surrounding the deaths and some investigatory work remains ongoing.

Former lord advocate Frank Mulholland QC - who stepped down from the role earlier this year - said he would expect an FAI to be held, given the level of public concern over the incident.

The new Lord Advocate, James Wolffe QC, agrees.

In a letter to Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, Mr Wolffe said: "As you know, the former advocate considered that this was a case of the utmost seriousness. He was committed to ensuring the matter was investigated thoroughly. I share that view.

"When the investigations, which go beyond the work the procurator fiscal has directed the Pirc (Police Investigations and Review Commissioner) to do, are completed the case must be reported to Crown counsel.

Police said they arrested a suspect in the case Wednesday evening. The man, who was not immediately identified, is suspected of battery in three incidents involving Jewish women in September and November, according to a Los Angeles Police Department release.

The first incident, which took place on the holiest Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, involved an 80-year-old woman who was walking on Bellaire Avenue near Burbank Boulevard, the LAPD said. The woman noticed she was being followed by a man who “grabbed the wig off her head, smiled and handed it back to her,” police said.

man suspected of attacking Orthodox Jewish women in North Hollywood. (LAPD)

Later that day, the man approached a 36-year-old woman and tried to pull the wig from her head as well, according to the LAPD.

On Tuesday afternoon, a 58-year-old woman was loading musical equipment into a vehicle near Laurel Canyon and Burbank boulevards when apparently the same man pulled the wig from her head. He apologized to the victim “in a sarcastic manner” before throwing the wig on the ground, police said.

“The suspect appears to have battered the women and targeted their wigs because of their religious beliefs,” the LAPD said in a statement. “Orthodox Jewish women often wear wigs, scarfs or hats to cover their hair as a symbol of modesty.”

Attacks on the Jewish community have become anincreasing concern for local law enforcement in recent weeks, after a gunman stormed the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing 11 people in late October. The shooter, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, explicitly stated a desire to kill Jews as he engaged in a firefight with police.

Anti-Semitic incidents have been on the rise nationally, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks such incidents by drawing on reports from police and news publications. There were 1,986 such incidents in 2017, a 57% jump from the prior year, according to data compiled by the ADL.

Just last week, someone scrawled anti-Semitic grafitti across the outside of an Irvine synagogue.

Anyone with information about the incidents should contact the LAPD’s North Hollywood Division at (818) 754-8451.

What's the difference between scoring and arranging?

Sometimes, I read "this song was arranged by someone", and "this song was scored by somebody else".
What's the difference between scoring some music and arranging it?

A:

According to the definition a score is:

a written form of a musical composition; parts for different instruments appear on separate staves on large pages; "he studied the score of the sonata"

Definition of score
Whereas arrangement is:

In music, an arrangement is a musical reconceptualization of a previously composed work. It may differ from the original work by means of reharmonization, melodic paraphrasing, orchestration, or development of the formal structure.

Definition of arrangement
So a score is a way of laying out a piece of music but an arrangement is a different way of playing an existing piece of music.

The Approach's grand steps connecting the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus to downtown aren't that spectacular for the final descent.

Just a barren concrete stairway in need of renovations is the final leg down the hill.

That will change under an agreement between RPI and the city that calls for the nonprofit responsible for tending to the landmark staircase to take over the final steps down or the first steps up the hill.

As downtown has revived, more students are climbing up and down the Approach on a daily basis.

Mateo Mengis, a first-year graduate student in electrical and computer engineering, lives on River Street and likes the grand staircase.

"It fits in with the surroundings of the campus, Mengis said.

He added that turning the steps over to the Approach and Beyond Foundation forof land to the Approach and Beyond Foundation is a win-win situation," said Michael T. Mullaney, a spokesman for RPI.

"It is a smart and efficient solution that relieves the city of Troy from spending time and money to upkeep the small, out-of-the-way parcel between the bottom of The Approach and Blitman Commons," Mullaney said, referring to the RPI dormitory at the base of the Approach.

"The foundation will now assume responsibility for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the area from the top of The Approach all the way down to Blitman Common," he said.

The city has to go through the technicalities of declaring the property as unneeded so it can dispose of the parcel.

"It's going to be advertised for sale," said Michael Morris, spokesman for Mayor Lou Rosamilia.


October 22, 2010 – The looming electronic on-board recorder mandate facing the trucking industry falls short on many fronts according to the petitioners brief filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association in its legal challenge of the regulation.

The Association and three members filed a petition for review with the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on June 3. In addition to OOIDA, the plaintiffs include OOIDA Members William J. Culligan, Adam D. Burnett and Douglas A. Oldham.

The brief filed earlier this month outlines a number of shortcomings in FMCSA’s path to issuing the final rule mandating the use of EOBRs on motor carriers with chronic noncompliance with the hours-of-service regulations.

      Pickney is forty-eight years old.   He has a tenth grade education and
was previously employed as a truck driver,


a carpenter's helper and a
machinery driver at a rock quarry.     He filed this application for Social
Security benefits on March 11, 1991, alleging a disability onset date of
August 10, 1988.   On that date, Pickney was involved in a truck accident

rupture, meningitis due to a cerebrospinal fluid leak and a fibular

also sensitive to exposure to thesun and has memory problems.

     After his application for benefits was denied initially and on
reconsideration, Pickney appealed and a hearing was held before an ALJ.
At the hearing, Pickney testified that he has very little peripheral

his testimony.   A vocational expert then testified that Pickney could not

The second video was for "Every Step of the Way," filmed in Los Angeles on October 9, 1987. In this video, Davy, Micky and Peter are dressed in leather gang outfits and, as the song's lyrics suggest, "hang out in [an] alley way," as an unspecified woman, the apparent object of Davy's affections, wanders in and out of the alley. Meanwhile, Micky mimes a performance on drums with trash cans, Peter mimes guitar with acultural associations.

Allen selects figures such as Donald Trump or Gene Wilder, subjects able to perform the lexicon of narrative titles like Blowfish and Golden Ticket. In the process of assemblage, Allen is able to create narratives that reveal the constructed nature of images and incorporative aspects of collage, photography, and montage.

Tonight we launch Boyne Berries 9. All is in readiness. We even have the magazine, have had them for a week beforehand actually which is a record. At least twice I've collected them from the printers on the morning of the launch. Greg has done the usual great job on the black and white cover.

Noel Dempsey who recently retired is officially launching the magazine. He launched the first issue in March 2007 when he was Minister for Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources so we are delighted to have him back.

We are hoping for the usual large attendance of members, locals and those who travel a distance to read their contributions and enjoy the occasion.

Full details are being finalised, but acclaimed writers Jennifer Johnston, Dermot Healy and Vincent McDonnell have confirmed that they will be taking part. Other highlights will include performances by The Poetry Divas and by The Nenagh Players, and a screening of a short film, written, directed and produced by students on the Media Arts Degree course at the Dublin Institute of Technology, Aungier St.

I've been commended twice in this competition and really enjoyed my trips to Dromineer each time. It's a friendly welcoming festival in a beautiful lakeside setting and the line up this year seems as good as ever -


The Poetry Divas should shine by the lake and the setting also seems appropriate since Dermot Healy's new book length poem A Fool's Errand published last year dealt with the annual migrations of barnacle geese.

Entries for the Poetry and Short Story Competitions are now open. Poet, novelist and playwright Dermot Healy will judge the poetry competition and novelist and short story writer Vincent McDonnell will judge the short story competition.

Closing date for receipt of entries is August 19 2011. Entry Form & Rules on the website.

The ninth issue of our magazine Boyne Berries will be launched on this Thursday 31 March at 8pm in the Castle Arch Hotel, Trim by recently retired Noel Dempsey. Noel, then a Government Minister, launched issue 1 of the magazinekeeping with the economic conditions that had recently prevailed.

A sample of some of the titles gives a hint of the variety of reading which is contained in the magazine: Inishmaan Snailbox, This Crowded Solitude Eventually, The Rat Beneath the Shed, I Took a Course in Buddhism, The Witch.

At the launch many of the contributors will attend, including one from North Yorkshire, and read their work. Admission is free and all are welcome. Previous launches have been very enjoyable occasions and have been very well attended. Boyne Berries 8 costs €8 and will be on sale at the launch, in Antonia’s Bookshop, and in SPAR Trim or can be purchased through the website.

Then the Irish Times Poetry Now Award presentation. The winner had been announced in the morning's Irish Times so there was no suspense. Seamus Heaney was the winner for his 12th collection, Human Chain. Three of the other four shortlisted poets were present for the presentation, Sara Berkeley, Ciarán Carson and Dermot Healy and there were apologies from Paul Muldoon. Good addresses by Gerard Smyth of the Irish Times, Brian Lynch of the judging panel and by Heaney himself who finished by reading a poem from the collection.

And then the two readings. Dave Lordan was a great started with his performance poetry which made you smile and agreewhen he was attacking the usual suspects but a bit uneasy and even defensive when his attach came closer to home. Fiona Sampson, editor of the Poetry Review UK, was next - a calm quiet reading which often contrasted with the subject matter. Estonian poet, Jaan Kaplinski finished this session. He told us quite a bit about his attitude to poetry, he hasn't written much/any recently because he feels he may have written enough for a lifetime and anyway there's too much poetry or too many poets. (I forget which and there is a major difference). He then started with a recent poem - one minute of silence.

The Poetry Now Festival in Dun Laoghaire is running two poetry workshops on Saturday morning 26 March. These workshops will be facilitated by poets and teachers Don Paterson and Fiona Sampson. Both workshops are aimed at poets who are building towards a first collection.

Places were limited so applicants were asked to apply by e-mailing 3 poems and a list of publications. I submitted my three poems and gotan email yesterday saying I had a place on the Don Paterson workshop. I'm delighted. The poems I submitted were The British Museum Revisited Again, Clonfert and Philately. I don't know anything about the format of the workshop ot the names of other participants.

Don Paterson was born in Dundee in 1963. Since Nil Nil (1993), which won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, he has written five collections of poetry, most recently Landing Light (2003), which won the T.S. Eliot Prize, and Rain (2009), which won the Forward Poetry Prize and the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. He is also an editor, musician and dramatist, and has written English versions of works by Rilke and Machado. He teaches in the School of English at the University of


St Andrews.

James Linnane, one of the members of the Boyne Writers Group has just published his book, The Life and Times of a 'Gotcha'. James explains in his introduction that Gotcha was Dublin slang for a security guard used in many working class areas of the city where they worked and patrolled 24 hours a day. This book, based on actual events, tells hilarious stories from the years James worked in that trade. It's full of crazy mad events many of which were the result of boredom in what was often a mind numbing job.

We in the group have heard some of these stories in early drafts and indeed James thanks our group for their advice and criticism in the book. James is also oneof the three regular readers at the weekly Knightsbridge Home poetry readings. Recently he has read from the book and his stories caused great amusement. Well done James.

James has the distinction of being a member of both of the rival writers groups in Trim, ourselves and the other one. This can bring problems when he is trying to decide which team to join for the annual Battle of the Books.

Copies of the book can be purchased from the website or directly from James at jameslinn48@gmail.com

James will be at the Noel King Boyne Readings and Open Mic this Thursday and can probably be persuaded to read a page or two of his book in the Open Mic. An added reason to attend.

This Thursday's Boyne Readings and


Open Mic promised to be a special, not to be missed event. The featured reader is Noel King, writer, actor and musician, coming all the way from Tralee, Co. Kerry.

Noel's poetry, haiku, short stories, articles and reviews have appeared in publications in over thirty countries, the poetry in journals as diverse as Poetry Ireland Review, The Sunday Tribune, Studies, Bongos of the World (Japan), The Dalhousie University Review (Canada), Kotaz (South Africa), Poetry Salzburg Review (Austria) and Quadrant (Australia). Along the way he has been a singer with the famous Bunratty Castle Entertainers and has worked as an arts administrator and poetry editor.

Noel King has launched many writers through his own Doghouse Books. His book of poetry Prophesying the Past was published by Salmon last year. His poetryis a gathering together of the memories, stories and experiences that have shaped him. Often the tone is wry, melancholic, bitter even - but there is a breezy humour that occasionally bursts through. His poems are grounded in activities and people rather than in ideas.

The Readings take place in the Village Hall, Knightsbridge Retirement Village, Longwood Road, Trim and start at 8pm. As well as Noel King there will be an open mic - poetry, prose, memoir etc all welcome.

Entrance 5 euro, which includes tea/coffee and Knightsbridge home baked biscuits.

I'm delighted to have been selected by Poetry Ireland/Éigse Éireann for the Introductions Series 2011. We received a large number of submissions for this series, so congratulations on your selection.

The Introductions Series 2011 will take place


in early May (dates TBC) in the Irish Writers' Centre. A free workshop with poet Alan Jude Moore is also offered as part of the Introductions series. This workshop should be of assistance in terms of preparing both the poems and the poet for a public reading. The workshop with will run on Saturday 2nd April, 2011, 11a.m.– 4p.m.

I knew a number of those who were selected last year, Peter Goulding, Connie Roberts, Andrew Caldicott, Martin Dyar. Two of those have won the Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Competition.

A detail from the St Patrick window in St Patrick's Church in Trim which shows St Patrick confronting the High King at Tara at Easter. This huge window is a wonderful celebration of Irish art and workmanship crammed asit is with copies of the Tara Brooch, Mediaeval Croziers, the Ardagh Chalice and many other examples of Irish metalwork from many centuries after the time of St Patrick. The designers, whoever they were, weren't worried about being anachronistic.

The window, matched on the other side by the equally fantastic Our Lady of Trim window, is like the whole church a statement of its time - the last years of the nineteenth century, the years of the Gaelic Revival and the Home Rule movement. The window is by Mayer of Munich, a world famous stained glass maker.

were asked to use the first line of the Proclamation as an inspiration.

It went very well actually with everyone present having attempted it and each effort different. There were one or two which contrasted the idealism of the 1916 leaders with the state we've got ourselves and the country into. One had the lovely image of Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, whose funeral was an important step on the way to the Rising, stirring in his grave and another imagined a youth pausing at the GPO before getting a bus for the airport and emigration. Nothing wrong with being preachy so long as it's well done I always say.

One used the "dead generations" reference to tell us a little about an ancestor leaving us to make the possible connections andanother remembered being in the dock at Kilmainham with other Irishmen and Irishwomen on a charge of no lights on the bikes.

Great stuff. Most admitted to having found it difficult and challenging and felt that the efforts needed just a bit more work.

Any mine? Well I took the historical look and reported on the races at Fairyhouse that Easter Monday as well as a few other things. Do you know who won the Irish Grand National in 1916? One stanza of my poem was:

The programme for this year's Poetry Now Festival at Dun Laoghaire has been announced. As usual a very interesting line up. Full details on the website where you can also book tickets. If you attend the two readings on the Saturday, at 6.30 and 8.30, you'll hear Dave Lordan, Fiona Sampson, Jaan Kaplinski, Gerald Stern & Sinéad Morrissey. That's a great selection and great variety as well - Irish, north and south, UK, USA and Estonia.

The keynote address is by Canadian-born writer and translator, Anne Carson Her talk is entitled The Untranslatable. Speaking in Ireland for the first time, Carson will present what promises to be a characteristically hybrid and compelling exploration of a subject which she has come to know intimatelythrough her work as a poet and classicist: translation and its difficulties, as well as untranslatability and its attractions and privileges. Carson will consider Homer, Joan of Arc, Rembrandt, Holderlin and Francis Bacon in the course of her lecture.

The Jack B Yeats show which I saw in the Model, Sligo recently includes two previously unseen paintings from the estate of the late author Graham Greene, recently sold by Christie’s of London.

The works, A Horseman Enters a Town at Night, 1948 and Man in a Room Thinking, 1947, were purchased by a private collector, who very generously made them available to The Model for the duration of Jack B Yeats -The Outsider.

Horses feature quite often in his paintings. In the early paintings they appear in his


critic and theorist, Brian O’Doherty (aka Patrick Ireland), and Emer McGarry, Curator of The Niland Collection, the show features work spanning a sixty-year period, from an early Sligo scene completed in 1895, showing a political meeting in Sligo, to a work completed in 1956 the year before he died.

The Model is a great space to see these. Not crowded you can wander through the three or four rooms the exhibition occupies at your leisure. I love those later paintings set in some wild landscape, sometimes near the sea, sometimes a sort of imagined west of Ireland, Paul Henry shaken up, with a couple of characters, standing or walking or talking or meeting or ignoring. The catalogue speculates that Beckett, who was a friend of Yeats, may have basedhis two characters in Waiting for Godot on such a scene.

Above is one of these painting, The Two Travellers 1942.

The show is accompanied by a new publication with a major new critical text by Brian O’Doherty as well as new texts by Dr. Tricia Cusack and Dr. Thomas McEvilley.

World Cup! After a loss to Bangladesh Ireland bounce back with a victory over England. Not easily won. On a good batting pitch England batted first and made 327. Irish bowlers did well especially in restricting England towards the end when it looked like 350 was possible. It did appear that the asking total was too much, the Irish batting has often been the weakest element. I watched all the English innings and the start of the Irish.

The commentators tried not to be condescending but now and then referred to this being a useful exercise for England after their draw against India at the week-end. They were however fulsome in their praise for the Irish at the end.

Irish captain William Porterfield was out first ball and it lookedlike the fight was for a respectable total. Off I went to read poetry in the Knightsbridge Retirement Home.

Say not the struggle naught availeth,The labour and the wounds are vain,The enemy faints not, nor faileth, And as things have been they remain.

When I came home I turned on the TV expecting to see "experts" praising Ireland for a courageous display, another gallant defeat but no the match is still on, and Ireland need 35 runs from 30 balls to win. Kevin O'Brien has come in and made 100 runs from 50 balls, the quickest century in World Cup history. They keep calm and win in the last over. Great celebrations! This is the greatest run chase in World Cup history.

The Irish team has Ed Joyce playing, back after


writing prompts.

This will be followed at 1pm with Lunchtime Poetry Readings where celebrated poets, recent winner of the Michael Hartnett Prize Peter Sirr, Gerald Dawe, Paul Perry, 2011 winner of the Arvon Poetry Prize Jean O' Brien, Richard Halperin and Aifric Mac Aodha, read from their latest collections. Jean O'Brien awarded me a prize at the Goldsmith Festival a couple of years ago. I heard Richard Halperin read at Goldsmith and at iYeats in Sligo last year where he and I were commended.

At 3pm the Irish Writers' Centre will launch a new series of Madaptations with a film screening of James Joyce's The Dead. The Madaptations series will be held once a month at the Centre and will showcase films that have been based on books.

The celebrations willconclude at 7pm with a dramatic performance of Patrick Kavanagh's The Great Hunger performed by Peter Duffy. With echoes of the Great Famine in the title and in the text, the poem focuses on the life and struggles of the anti-hero and small farmer Patrick Maguire. I saw this or part of it at the Patrick Kavanagh Week-end in Inniskeen last year. Very impressive.

and is at a maximum compression at top dead center, shown as the 12 o'clock position. For example, because of the force of the spring (the force of motion is hereinafter referred to as the "machine load"), the sewing machine will rotate in the forward direction (counterclockwise) when the spindle is in a position after the 12 o'clock position, and will rotate in a reverse direction (clockwise) when the spindle is in a position prior to the 12 o'clock position. Accordingly, after a stop, this conventional sewing machine 1 continues to move and the needle position shifts. As a result, in an extreme case, the needle will stick into the cloth, and the cloth cannot be taken out.
For this reason, the conventional system may implement the position controlswitch incorporated in the control box 8.
In the conventional sewing machine drive apparatus designed as described above, its holding force (torque) is controlled according to only the position deviation. Hence, whether the force for moving the sewing machine is machine load or worker power, the holding force (torque) was generated similarly in response to the position deviation. In addition to the power for moving the sewing machine by hand, therefore, the worker was further required to have the power to withstand the resistant force (holding force) from the motor. Moreover, since some sewing machines require an extremely large force to begin a movement, the maximum torque value of the holding force must be increased to keep the sewing machine from moving, whereby the resistant torque from the motor


the sewing machine moves or not, a current flows during the soft brake processing exercised during a stop, whereby excitation noise is generated. Accordingly, even though the sewing machine is at a stop, the excitation noise of the motor continues to be generated, causing some workers to feel uncomfortable. For this reason, the soft brake had better be operated only when it is required, i.e., only when the sewing machine has moved under machine load after a stop. However, the worker had to make preparations and other work for the next stitching during the stop of the sewing machine and could not watch the sewing machine to turn on the soft brake switch when the sewing machine moved, whereby the soft brake had to be applied automatically.

Jamshíd-i-Gurjí

Born: Unknown

Death: Unknown

Place of Birth: Georgia

Location of Death: ‘Akká, Israel

Burial Location: No cemetery details

Yet another of the emigrants and settlers was the valiant Jamshíd-i-Gurjí, who came from Georgia, but grew up in the city of Káshán. He was a fine youth, faithful, trustworthy, with a high sense of honor. When he heard of a new Faith dawning, and awoke to the tidings that on Persia’s horizons the Sun of Truth had risen, he was filled with holy ecstasy, and he longed and loved. The new fire burned away those veils of uncertainty and doubt that had closed him round; the light of Truth shed down its rays, the lamp of guidance burned before him.

He remained in Persia for a time, then left for Rumelia, which was Ottoman territory,and in the Land of Mystery, Adrianople, won the honor of entering the presence of Bahá’u’lláh; it was there that his meeting took place. His joy and fervor were boundless. Later, at Bahá’u’lláh’s command he made a journey to Constantinople, with Áqá Muhammad-Báqir and Áqá ‘Abdu’l-Ghaffár. In that city, the tyrannous imprisoned him and put him in chains.

The Persian ambassador informed against Jamshíd and Ustád Muhammad-‘Alí-i-Dallák as enemy leaders and fighters. Jamshíd he described as a latter-day Rustam while Muhammad-‘Alí, according to the envoy, was a ravening lion. These two respected men were first imprisoned and caged; then they were sent out of Turkish territory, under guard to the Persian frontier. They were to be delivered over to the Persian Government and crucified, and the guards were threatened


be sent on to Tihrán. The Kurdish chiefs could see that the prisoners were innocent men, kindly and well-disposed, who had fallen a prey to their enemies. Instead of dispatching them to the capital, they set them free. Joyfully, the two hastened away on foot, went back to Bahá’u’lláh and found a home close by Him in the Most Great Prison.

Jamshíd spent some time in utter bliss, receiving the grace and favor of Bahá’u’lláh and ever and again being admitted to His presence. He was tranquil and at peace. The believers were well-pleased with him, and he was well-pleased with God. It was in this condition that he hearkened to the celestial bidding: “O thou soul who art well-assured, return unto thy Lord, well-pleased with Him, and well-pleasingscattered across the landscape and make for postcard-perfect scenery.

Why cyclists love it

Amsterdam is known as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, and the positive attitude toward cyclists is part of Dutch culture. Bike tours in Holland are a rare treat for cyclists with the many bike paths through its scenic lowlands and the network of preserved national parks. Over the rolling hills and across marshy plains, your bicycle vacation will lead you through a breathtaking picture of green countryside and windmills with medieval towns in the distance.

In the spring, many Holland bike tours adapt their itineraries to highlight the blooming tulips. Cycling through the miles of tulip farms is a glorious way to spend a spring day.

Late in the fourth quarter of the Memphis Grizzlies loss to Oklahoma City, All-Star forward Zach Randolph proved there is never a bad time to show some love for young fans.

Randolph was seen leaving the team's bench while a teammate was shooting free throws. It turns out a young fan with special needs was trying to get his attention and appeared to indicate that he wanted Randolph's warm up top. Randolph happily obliged before returning to the bench and giving the fan a thumb's up.

With news of the shooting spreading rapidly via text message and Facebook, members of their tight-knit tribal community soon joined them. Tracy Bigboy, a neighbor and victim services coordinator for the tribal government, was dispatched to take care of the Peros’ needs. She stood in the cold air outside of the community center, quietly smoking a cigarette, until Ashland County Sheriff Mick Brennan pulled off Highway 2 and into the parking lot.

BuzzFeed News Sheriff Mick Brennan

With his squared-off shoulders, neatly cropped silver hair, and mustache, the 62-year-old Brennan has a carefully crafted by-the-book reputation and looks every inch the small-town sheriff. As he and one of his investigators approached, Bigboy stopped them, warning the sheriff that emotions


family says the sheriff has told them nothing, and Brennan did not respond to multiple requests to speak to BuzzFeed News about the shooting and about local law enforcement’s relationship with the Bad River community. Michael Nieskes, the St. Croix County District Attorney who has been appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate the case, declined to comment. The feeling of sadness and loss is palpable among members of the Bad River Band. But there’s also a deep sense of numbness and fatalism here that manifests in the nonchalant ways people talk about other violent encounters involving law enforcement and Native Americans. Jason’s death was at least the second time in as many months that a member of the Bad River Reservation had been killed by uniformed officers:the back of a sheriff’s cruiser outside the jail, the lawsuit alleges, but once outside the county line, Bond pulled the car over, unshackled the prisoner, and ordered her to sit in the front seat beside him and unbutton her jumpsuit. Then, as he drove down the highway, Bond groped and fondled J.L., according to the lawsuit. Thirty minutes later, he pulled into a rest stop and ordered J.L. to follow him into the men’s bathroom, where he allegedly raped her. Afterward, J.L. said, he used water and paper towels to erase evidence and avoid arousing suspicion from medical staff at St. Luke’s.

According to court filings, at least four other women — all of whom are Native American — were also repeatedly assaulted or raped.

Even after she was


Ashland County Jail would only come to an end on Aug. 24, 2016, when another correctional officer caught him and a prisoner leaving a closet where he’d allegedly forced the woman to perform oral sex. Later that day, Bond killed himself. According to a source familiar with the case, Bond shot himself in the head.

Lauren Justice for BuzzFeed News Mike Wiggins Jr., Bad River tribal chairman, poses for a portrait at the Chief Blackbird Center on the Bad River Reservation.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Native Americans are more likely to be killed during an interaction with law enforcement than any other racial group. In 2017 at least 31 indigenous people died as a result of an encounter with law enforcement. In 2016,official police report, or the autopsy report. The press release came as the family was burying the 14-year-old, and by nightfall, the narrative the family says Brennan had crafted had taken hold. While, initially, local media outlets had emphasized Jason’s age and his family’s demand for justice, a new storyline had appeared, one that painted Jason as the aggressor who’d brought the shooting on himself.

“Our children represent the survival of our tribe, of our nation moving forward.”

“What hurts us the most is lots of people saying things about Jason that wasn’t true. That he was this monster, he was this 5-foot-9 man. He was a kid!” his friend Vinnie Bender said. Despite his youth, Jason held a prominent place in his community, in part because of his interest

support paymentsControversial Tampa Bay Rowdies owner Bill Edwards coined the term “oneyearplan” in a largely impromptu August interview to justify the sacking of popular Head Coach Thomas Rongen and club President Farrukh Quraishi. Edwards, whose business dealings have been the subject of much controversy, remarked that he had hoped to win the NASL title this season. At the time of the sackings, the Rowdies had fallen to 3rd in the overall 11-team league table. The top four finishers make the NASL postseason.

The biggest potential takeaways from Edwards discussion of having a “one year plan,” was that the owner did not have the faith in the local market or the league his team is currently competing in or understand his fan base well enough to believe in long-term planning. Edwards’


over Jacksonville ended Tampa Bay’s season, the Rowdies don’t have to constantly win. The Strikers suffer from what every south Florida pro soccer team always has – fan apathy and the constant need to be successful. Fort Lauderdale has to win every year because they have a small fan base and those who do support the club often complain about anything the team ownership past and present has done. The fans in that part of the state are polarized by county, preferences for soccer style and sometimes even by ethnicity. Some of the fans who do support the Strikers fall in love with personalities and do not have the perspective when it comes to the sport of many Rowdies fans. For Fort Lauderdale, winning is a must everyhas been uprooted by bombastic and unrealistic comments from Edwards. Many fans have found the owner’s public comments and seeming lack of real knowledge of the sport to be both worrying and amusing.

In 2012, the Rowdies won the NASL title in epic fashion after a penalty shootout against Minnesota. That game remains the most recent postseason match the club has played in. Under former owner Andrew Nestor the Rowdies finished no lower than 3rd in the combined NASL table from 2011 to 2013. Nestor was unable to do much financially to build the club which was operating on a shoe-string, but as a lifelong soccer fan, he understood the sport and empowered soccer people such as GM Perry Van der Beck, a Rowdies playing legend to make most


sporting decisions. But under Edwards who has meddled heavily in the sports side despite knowing little about the game, the team has finished 7th and 5th – yet fan discomfort with this current owner who has invested heavily in the club is more about his own eccentric behavior than actual results.

Ralph’s Mob, the Rowdies supporters group is one of the largest and most vocal in the NASL. From this base of fans and the strong youth soccer community in the Tampa Bay area, the club should be able to continue to grow its footprint.

Approximately one hour after appellant and Coffey were taken into custody, they arrived with Morris and Kahlstrom at the Lampasas County Jail. Appellant was taken to the sheriff's conference room. Linda Rich, the Lampasas County Juvenile Probation Officer, came to the jail, met with appellant in the conference room, and filled out the "Caseworker 4 intake which is information we have to have for the computer to enter the juvenile into the computer." At this point, it was 2:20 a.m. Rich then called appellant's mother in San Angelo and Craddock in Harker Heights. Rich told both women that appellant was in custody for murder and that a detention hearing would probably be held later that day.
After completing the juvenile intakethe investigators' office and Kahlstrom returned. At this point, appellant gave Kahlstrom the written *705 confession that was the subject of the motion to suppress.

Appellant signed the statement in the judge's presence at 5:22 a.m. Judge Porter signed her "magistrate's juvenile verification and certification form" at 5:35 a.m.
Craddock testified that the officers told her that appellant would not be questioned until he was taken to the juvenile detention center in Killeen. She said she told the officers that she wanted to be present for any questioning.
Appellant testified that he had been "huffing" gasoline on the night he


was taken into custody. He said that he was not advised of his rights either at Coffey's residence or at the sheriff's office before he made his oral statement. Appellant claimed that he would not have made the oral statement had he been advised of his rights. Appellant initially claimed that he was not advised of his rights by Judge Porter until after he gave the written statement, but he later said that he may have met with the magistrate before the statement was given.
Discussion
By his first point of error, appellant contends his written statement should have been suppressed because neither of the officers who took him into custody notified his parent or custodian as required by law. A person taking a child into custody must promptly notifyfor up to six hours. Id. § 52.025(d). A juvenile processing office may be used to receive a statement from the child. Id. § 52.025(b).
At the suppression hearing, the State introduced in evidence an order of the Lampasas County Juvenile Board dated April 11, 1996, designating the conference room and investigation office at the Lampasas County Jail as juvenile processing offices. Appellant introduced an order of the board dated September 15, 2000, designating the investigation offices at the county jail and at the Lampasas Police Department, together with the conference room at the county juvenile probation office, as juvenile processing offices. Appellant urges that the September 15, 2000, order superceded the April 11, 1996, order, and therefore the sheriff's conference room was not a juvenile processing office on


NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News has hired President Donald Trump’s former aide Sebastian Gorka as a contributor.

Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity announced the hiring on his radio show Wednesday, saying that Gorka will serve as a national security strategist for the network. A Fox News spokeswoman confirmed his hiring to The Associated Press Thursday.

The British-American Gorka worked as a national security aide to Trump from January to August, when Gorka told the AP that he resigned from the administration. A White House official disputed that claim, saying Gorka didn’t resign but “no longer works at the White House.”

Gorka is a former Breitbart News editor whose hard-line view on immigration and terrorism led to discord inside and outside the White House.billion in 2010 — suggesting eight months of conflict cost the country’s 6.5 million people around $35 billion.

Regrettably, physicians today receive very little instruction in the history of medicine. Most health care providers have a very limited, contemporary knowledge of the condition that we know of as the Charcot foot. Yet, historical concepts of the pathogenesis and natural history of this condition provide us with important lessons that enhance our understanding, recognition, and management of this rare but debilitating neurogenic arthropathy. It is my belief that knowledge of the history of medicine provides us with a better understanding of present-day issues and clearer vision as we look to the future. This article describes some of the important lessons learned from the history of the Charcot foot.

The determination of calcium in serum began with the gravimetric method in which calcium was precipitated with ammonium oxalate whereupon the precipitate was dried and weighed. This method was improved upon in 1921 when there was reported a technique in which the calcium oxalate is dissolved in acid with the oxalate being determined by titration with potassium permanganate. A modification of this method, in which the washing procedure and temperature were standardized during the titration, was used as the primary procedure for calcium determination. While reasonably accurate, these procedures required large amounts of serum and were time consuming. A more sensitive and rapid complexometric titration was introduced in the 1940's which used murexide as an indicator. Several other indicators, e.g. calcon, calcein, methylthymol blue, eriochrome black


Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Nina Davuluri, the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America, has roots in Telegu-speaking Andhra Pradesh.

Claim: Telugu is the fastest growing language in the US.

Verdict: Yes it is, according to a study by an American think tank. The number of speakers of Telugu, a south Indian language, has grown by 86% in the last seven years. However, it is still outside the top 20 of the most widely-spoken languages other than English.

Think of the most commonly-spoken languages other than English in the United States and this one from southern India may not spring to mind.

The number of US residents speaking Telugu rose by 86% between 2010 and 2017, according to an online video by the World Economic Forum.

The video referred to astudy by the US-based Centre for Immigration Studies, which analysed census data to look at the pace at which languages are being spoken in America.

So what's behind the rise of Telugu?

Telugu is mainly spoken in the south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. They have a combined population of 84 million people. It's the fourth most spoken language in India, according to the 2011 census.

The study on languages spoken in the US used data from the American Community Survey and compared the number of people who said they spoke a language other than English at home in 2010 and 2017.

Last year there were more than 400,000 Telugu speakers in the US - nearly double the number in 2010.

Out of the top 10 fastest-growing languages in America, seven


are from South Asia.

So why Telugu?

A lot of this can be attributed to the links forged between the city of Hyderabad and the US engineering and technology industries, says Prasad Kunisetty, founder of the Telugu People Foundation, a non-profit organisation in the US. Mr Kunisetty moved to the US in 2001 seeking a career in the IT sector.

The rapid growth of information technology in the mid-1990s led to a huge demand for software engineers, he said.

Many were recruited from Hyderabad, the biggest Telugu-speaking city. Both Telugu-speaking states together now have more than 800 engineering colleges.

The city has become a major hub for the technology and engineering industry in India and has been sending students tothe US in droves.

Down the years Telugu-speaking Americans have continued to hire software engineers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Many Indians benefit from the H-1B visa scheme, which provides work visas to thousands of foreigners each year often in the technology sector. An estimated 70% go to Indian workers. It allows recipients of the visas to apply for permanent residency status.

Notable US-based Telugu speakers include the first Indian-American Miss America Nina Davuluri and the current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

The rise of Telugu is significant as a percentage increase but it started from a low base compared to other languages.

There were more new speakers of Spanish (up to four million more), Chinese, Arabic and Hindi between 2010 and 2017, according to the Centre for Immigration Studies.

Of the more than 60


million people that speak a language other than English out of the total population of about 320 million, the vast majority speak Spanish.

Out of the most commonly spoken South Asian languages, Hindi is first, followed by Urdu, Gujarati and then Telugu.

The number of people who speak French and German at home has declined. The number of Italian speakers has decreased by more than 200,000 in the last decade.

About 80% of the Telugu-speakers surveyed said they speak English very well.

However, one shortcoming of the census data is that the respondents are asked how well they speak English and not about proficiency in other languages, says Jennifer Leeman, a professor of linguistics at George Mason University.

"It's hard to know the non-English proficiency of those people who speak English well, especiallyvocalist Lawrence Taylor said "hopefully it will generate more of a fanbase," while drummer Adam Savage added "we did [the album] ourselves so we haven't got any debts so we were just like 'let's give it out'." In January 2011, the band recorded a new single at The Barn – subsequently releasing "Be(lie)ve" through Good Fight Music on 15 March 2011. The single was originally not part of the album but was added as a bonus track and released as a deluxe edition CD in the United States on 26 July 2011. Later in the year, While She Sleeps signed a deal with Shock Records to release their material in Australia – seeing the release of the deluxe edition of the album on 9 December 2011.

Rabbi Henry Sobel, a Brazilian human rights activist who led Latin America’s largest liberal Jewish congregation and who drew wide attention for defying his country’s dictatorship in the aftermath of a notorious political killing, died on Friday in Miami. He was 75.

The cause was complications of lung cancer, relatives said. He had lived in Miami since 2013.

Rabbi Sobel (pronounced so-BELL), a Lisbon native who led the Congregação Israelita Paulista in São Paulo , was a national figure in his adopted homeland, his counsel sought by presidents, popes and the Dalai Lama.

He came to prominence in Brazil in 1975, after Vladimir Herzog , the news director of a São Paulo television station, was murdered in prison by his military torturers a few hours after he was arrested, accused ofbeing part of a Communist network. The murder shocked Brazilians and was denounced by Archbishop Paulo Evaristo Arns of São Paulo, another champion of human rights.

The dictatorship falsely claimed that Mr. Herzog had committed suicide; it made public a photograph, later proved to have been staged, that purported to show Mr. Herzog hanging from a belt in his cell. Suicide would have relegated his burial to a remote corner of the Cemitério Israelita do Butantã. (Historically, Judaism has regarded suicide as defying God’s will.) But Rabbi Sobel chose to inter Mr. Herzog at the center of the cemetery, with full rites.


the promulgation of a new specification for a more stringent gravel-absorption level of 2%. ALDOT adopted this new specification in May 1996, after obtaining the approval of the FHWA.
In March 1996, Bob Estes, the owner of Blue Ridge, learned that ALDOT had been considering expanding the implementation of the 2.550 bulk-specific-gravity minimum requirement to all Department road projects. Estes became concerned about the implications of this proposed rule, because Blue Ridge derived most of its revenue from its subcontracts with road-construction companies that had contracted with ALDOT to build roads.[2] Estes was concerned that the blanket implementation of the new bulk-specific-gravity requirement would destroy the market for chert gravel and would thereby drive Blue Ridge out of business. After hearing that ALDOT specifications might change, Estes immediately requesteda meeting with ALDOT officials, including each of the individual defendants. He says he asked for the reasons behind the possible change in the specifications and was told that the new specification was "picked out of the air to keep [chert] gravel out of roadways." Estes told the officials that the requirement would be fatal to Blue Ridge's business. Estes says that at the conclusion of the meeting, Jimmy Butts, the director of ALDOT, told him that ALDOT would continue to use chert gravel for road projects scheduled for the upcoming 1997 bidding season if Blue Ridge crushed its chert gravel to a certain size.
After the meeting, ALDOT published its "Approved Source List," which contained an amendment allowing Blue Ridge to supply chert gravel for use in hot-mix


by Blue Ridge. Six months after the project was completed, James Brown, an ALDOT engineer, noticed failures in the road surface. ALDOT, at substantial cost, removed and replaced the materials that had caused the failure.
After ALDOT had discovered the failures in the Highway 72 project, several ALDOT employees, including Larry Lockett, Ray Bass, James Brown, Norris Killen (all of whom Blue Ridge named as defendants in its lawsuit), and two others not named in this action, toured North Alabama *1268 highway projects. After they hade made that tour, ALDOT, in March 1997, adopted new specifications that eliminated chert gravel from hot-asphalt mixes on State highway projects; it did so on the recommendations of Bass, Lockett, and Butts. These men based their recommendations on observations and extensive research conductedand employees to delay the implementation of the new specification clearly referred only to the upcoming year.
Blue Ridge did not produce substantial evidence suggesting that the alleged promises were made with the intention to deceive, or even that they were unfulfilled. Depositions and ALDOT internal memoranda indicate that at the time of the meeting with Estes, ALDOT had not yet decided to implement a bulk-specific-gravity requirement and that ALDOT was only considering such a requirement. The decision to implement the new specifications was not made until February 1997, nearly one year after Blue Ridge alleges the promise was made; therefore, the officers and employees of ALDOT were entitled to a summary judgment on the misrepresentation claim.

Blue Ridge also alleged that, at the March 20, 1996, meeting, the individual

Aristotle Means, also known as Professor Means, or Professor Aristotle Means, is a minor antagonist in the video game; Ace Attorney; Dual Destinies, but the main antagonist in the case; Turnabout Academy. He's a teacher of the Themis Legal Academy, an academy that teaches students how to become attorneys. In his case, Professor Means teaches the students how to be defense attorneys. He's also the one responsible of the murder of Constance Courte.

Contents

History

Aristotle Means and Constance Courte were both teachers at Themis Legal Academy, Aristotle with the Lawyer course and Constance with the Judge course. Aristotle Means often preached that "The end justifies the means", while Courte preaching that the results can only be achieved by the truth. This caused a rift between students: Half following Means


and the other Courte. This also caused rivalry between the teachers.

One day, Courte got a monthly report from Juniper Woods, which revealed that someone (Means) was accepting bribes for grades and confronted him there. Means silenced her by stabbing her with his staff. He then used two banners to wipe the blood, using one of the banners to create a bloodstain on the art room and then incinerating the banner soon after. He then shaped the dead body to resemble Phoenix Wright's broken statue. After that, he pre-recorded a speech for the mock trial to make an alibi. Then, he took the Lady Justice statue and made a pouch on the remaining banner to break the Klavier Gavin statue and the Lady Justice statue to further strengthen thealibi. Then after that, he deleted his speech from the tape and forged a voice clip saying "You're a goner!", which was actually from the mock trial, giving it to Hugh O' Conner and ordering him to give it to Athena and Apollo.

Breakdown

When Athena Cykes was able to figure out that Professor Means was the one who found out that he was the one who killed Constance Courte, she asked the gallery to decide Means' fate. Professor Means suggested alternative punishments to the gallery, including bathroom detail, retaking the bar exam, a 30% salary cut, and a dismissal, but to no avail. He then writes the letter "G",presumably to write "Guilty", and then Professor Means' teeth shatters into pieces, after which Means collapse to the ground along with


his chalkboard, causing a cloud of chalk dust. Means is later found guilty and arrested.

Personality

Aristole Means revealing his true nature

At first, he seemed to be a polite and benevolent man greatly interested in justice (However, Cykes thought that "The End Justifies the Means" was a scary policy). However, that was all a façade: He was accepting bribes for grades and falsifying evidence, and even viewing the Dark Age of Law as a good thing. The true Means was a cruel man, with a mohawk-shaped hair and a scar.

Trivia

He is the tallest character and tallest antagonist in the entire Ace Attorney series, standing at impressive 196 centimeters (6 feet 5 inches).plant or left unbleached, depending on the end use. The stock is sprayed onto the pulp machine wire, water drains off, more water is removed by pressing the sheet of fibres, and the sheet is then dried. At this point the sheets of pulp are several millimetres thick and have a coarse surface: it is not yet paper. The dried pulp is cut, stacked, bailed and shipped to another facility for whatever further process is needed.

One of the most visible uses for unbleached kraft pulp is to make brown paper shopping bags and wrapping paper where strength is particularly important.
