The switch-hitting Martinez was extremely productive for the Red Sox since his acquisition from Cleveland at the 2009 trading deadline. Martinez, who turns 32 on Dec. 23, batted .313 in 183 games with the Red Sox, with 28 home runs and 120 RBIs.

Last season, he was the only big league catcher in the majors to hit .300 or better while hitting 20 or more home runs, despite missing 22 games with a fractured left thumb. He was dominant against left-handed pitchers, batting .400, slugging .742 and posting a 1.173 OPS

Ordonez is recovering from right ankle surgery and played only 84 games. The Tigers did not exercise his $15 million option, so he's a free agent. Detroit announced Tuesday it would not offer arbitration to Ordonez. The Tigers also declined arbitration to outfielder Johnny Damon, Laird and pitchers Jeremy Bonderman and Bobby Seay.

Recently,This letter found at Ugarit is written in Akkadian. It is an edict by Tudhaliya IV, king of the Hittites, concerning horses used by messengers between the Egyptian and Hittite empires. The kingdom of Ugarit, within the Hittite sphere of influence, was responsible for enforcing this ruling. The authenticity of the letter is shown by the king's seal.

The international context

After the battle of Qadesh in the fourteenth century BC, a balance of power prevailed between the two great empires, Egyptian and Hittite, that shared the Near East. The kingdoms of the Levantine coast were divided between the empires' two zones of influence, the kingdom of Ugarit being a vassal of the Hittite empire.

A royal edict

This letter by king Tudhaliya IV of the Hittites is addressed to his vassal,


the king of Ugarit. The small terracotta tablet bears a cuneiform text in Akkadian, the diplomatic language of the Near East. It is not a simple letter but an edict promulgated by Tudhaliya IV. It establishes rules for the use of horses by messengers between Hatti (the homeland of the Hittites) and Egypt. It forbids Hittite messengers from taking Egyptian horses and, conversely, forbids Egyptian messengers from using Hittite horses. The king of Ugarit is to enforce this ruling as the messengers between the two empires have to pass through his small kingdom.

The royal seal

The letter is shown to be authentic by the royal seal in the center of the tablet. The Hittite royal seal was circular, contrasting with the frequent use of cylindrical seals in Mesopotamia. Inthe center, beneath a hieroglyph of a winged sun, the symbol of Hittite royalty, are Hittite hieroglyphs giving the name of the king, flanked symmetrically by two other signs meaning "Great King." Cuneiform signs around the border of the seal give the king's title in two concentric registers: "Seal of Tabarna Tudhaliya, Great King, king of Hatti."

Apple's first original television series, Planet of the Apps, will premiere tonight, according to Reuters. The show, which was screened earlier today at the Worldwide Developers Conference, is set to premiere at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Apple Music. Apple will also make the first episode free on iTunes and the Planet of the Apps website.

Produced by Ben Silverman, Howard Owens, and will.i.am, Planet of the Apps is an unscripted television show about apps and the developers who make them. The show is similar to other television shows like The Voice and Shark Tank, in that it features developers pitching their app ideas for a chance to be mentored by influencers and entrepreneurs like Gary Vaynerchuk, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Alba.

"The question when you have ideas is howto take those to fruition," Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet software and services, said in an interview. "Sometimes you may not know how, you might be afraid of what's involved. This really shows how that's possible."

The advisors help chosen contestants build their apps and prepare them to ask for funding from participating VC company Lightspeed Venture Partners. In an interview with Reuters, iTunes chief Eddy Cue says Planet of the Apps answers the question of how to take an idea to a finished product.

Filming for Planet of the Apps show began towards the end of 2016 and wrapped up in February. Most of the filming took place on an Apple-built set near Hollywood.

According to Reuters, the first two episodes feature developers presenting apps for online


…or, to be precise, the Green Room diner at the National Theatre on London’s South Bank.

It was late afternoon on Friday 5 July 2019, the day before the city’s main Pride event. Earlier the same day, the National Theatre (NT) Twitter account had announced they were ready for the weekend and posted a photo of the theatre decked in the rainbow flag. Another rainbow flag hung behind the bar of the Green Room.

A group of people – mainly women – had spent the day protesting outside Stonewall’s Children and Young People conference, a few minutes’ walk away. At the end of the afternoon, they took pics of themselves outside the Hayward Gallery, in front of posters promoting some creepy exhibition. Then some of them went on to theGreen Room, others went to a nearby food fair and got a bite to eat there, while a few others took the huge placards they’d held at the protest back to the vehicle they were using. They all eventually went on to meet up at the Green Room.

Those who’d gone straight to the Green Room had bought drinks and were sitting outside in the sunshine by the time the others arrived. Of the later arrivals, only a man in the group got served. It seems a member of staff took exception to the women, some of whom were wearing lesbian T-shirts. They were refused service.

According to the account left by one of the women on the NT’s Facebook page the following day:

The refusal followed a conversation with some

Unfortunately, violence against women is epidemic in the United States and around the world.

Domestic violence is on the minds of many now, as reports published by The New York Times implicate New York Gov. David Paterson in an alleged attempt to influence a domestic violence case against one of his top aides. The Times reports, based in part on unnamed sources, say that the Paterson aide, David W. Johnson, attacked his girlfriend on Halloween night, Oct. 31, 2009, “choking her, smashing her into a mirrored dresser and preventing her from calling for help.” New York state police from the governor’s personal protection detail contacted the victim, despite having no jurisdiction. Then the governor himself intervened, the Times


The National Organization for Women, a longtime ally of Paterson, has called on him to resign.

The Paterson scandal follows that of New York state Sen. Hiram Monserrate, who was charged with assaulting a female companion with the jagged edge of a broken glass in December 2008. She later altered her story to conform to Monserrate’s version of events, but the weakened criminal case proceeded against him, without her cooperation, and he was found guilty of misdemeanor assault. He was expelled from the New York Senate last month.

Late last week, you might recall a dinged-up copy of the elusive NES Nintendo World Championships cartridge raking in high bid after high bid on eBay. It would seem the success of that less-than-perfect copy has caused some uproar in the retro gaming community, and more sellers have cropped up in the hopes of earning big bucks for one of the rarest games in the world.

Multiple copies of both the grey and gold World Championship cartridge appeared on the auction site, drawing interest from buyers almost instantaneously. While the beat-up copy from last week is still awaiting a proper buyer at it's $99,000 closing bid, a better version managed to move for "just" $17,500.

that much of the widespread press coverage of other Nintendo World Championship games being sold for Scrooge McDuck-levels of currency has led to collectors and fanatics trying to rake these rarities into their collections before they fade into the sunset. In particular, only 26 gold editions of the NWC cartridge were made in existence. Sure, it's probably the same material as The Legend of Zelda cartridge, but still, it's uber rare. The gold editions of the NWC were distributed by 'Nintendo Power' for a mail-in contest held exclusive to the magazine and were never used in the actual world championships held by Nintendo in 1990.

ForEmperor is a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991, regarded as highly influential by critics and emerging black metal bands.[2][3][4] The group split up in 2001, but reunited from 2005 to 2007 for a few festival dates and brief US tours, and again reunited in 2013 to 2014. The group was founded by Ihsahn (guitar/vocal) and Samoth (then, drums).

Biography

In their youth, Ihsahn and Samoth met at a rock music seminar.[5] The two young men began playing together under various names; first Dark Device, then Xerasia, then Embryonic. The group soon evolved into the now well-known band Thou Shalt Suffer. Soon, however, Samoth began to write music outside of Thou Shalt Suffer, and together with Ihsahn and a new bass player called Mortiis (later of his own eponymous


band Mortiis), Emperor was formed. After a short while together, the band released a demo entitled Wrath of the Tyrant. It quickly gained popularity in the underground and attracted the attention of the then-start-up label Candlelight. Soon afterwards, a record contract was signed, Samoth moved to rhythm guitar, Ihsahn continued the vocal duties and lead guitars, and Faust was recruited as a drummer. Emperor released their debut EP, Emperor, under Candlelight Records. The band then was signed to the infamous first black metal label, Deathlike Silence Productions, and planned to release their next album soon, though the band never managed to release any material while signed to DSP.

In the summer of 1992, a series of events were set in motion by the black metal inner circle. Samoth, alongwith various other black metallers, set out to burn down old churches in Norway. Also in 1992, Faust lived in Lillehammer, and in the newly constructed Olympic park a man named Magne Andreassen approached him and suggested that they take a walk in the nearby forest. Faust agreed, and, once in the forest, Faust claimed the man began to make strong sexual advances towards him. Faust then stabbed the man to death, kicking him in the head afterward to ensure that he was dead.[6] He was not convicted until two years later. The day after Faust committed the murder, he went with Euronymous of Mayhem and Varg Vikernes of Burzum to burn the Holmenkollen Chapel in Oslo.[7] In the summer of 1993, the band began working on their


first full-length album. Emperor ceased wearing corpse paint; they stated that it was becoming a trend and losing its original significance and symbolism. In autumn of that year, the police began to investigate the murder of Euronymous of Mayhem, naming Varg Vikernes as a suspect; this investigation eventually led to the incarceration of Samoth for arson, and of Faust for the murder of Magne Andreassen.

In 1994, Samoth was sentenced to 16 months in prison for burning the Skjold Church in Vindafjord, together with Varg Vikernes.[8][9] The arson was committed during a pause in the recording of the Burzum EP Aske (‘Ashes’). In 1994, In the Nightside Eclipse was released, and earned Emperor widespread acclaim and a large fanbase.

After Samoth's parole, the band was joined by Trym and Alveron drums and bass respectively, and at the end of 1996, Emperor entered the studio to record Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk. Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk won the 'album of the year' poll in many metal magazines around the world, including UKTerrorizer and US Metal Maniacs.[citation needed] Bassist Alver soon left.

Now continuing their career as a trio, with Ihsahn handling keyboards, vocals, guitars and bass, the band recorded their third album IX Equilibrium and toured Europe and North America. It was around 2000 when Samoth and Trym started to gravitate more towards death metal, while Ihsahn directed his musical exploration towards his side project, Peccatum. Thus, in 2001, Emperor decided to disband after releasing one final album, Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise, composed


to focus on other things, and felt it was the only right thing to do".[10]

The band played a surprise three-song show in Oslo on 30 September 2005, at which they announced a series of full concerts to take place in California, New York City, and Europe in 2006.[citation needed] As of February 2006, they were also scheduled to play at the Inferno festival in April and Germany's Wacken Open Air in August. Samoth was unable to take part in the US tour dates, as his conviction for the arson he committed in 1992 lengthened the process for his visa application, so Emperor performed without him.

On 7 October 2006, Emperor performed at the under-18 Motstøy-festival in their home town of Notodden. The band had wanted to do an under-18gig and a gig at their home town, so the festival fit perfectly. It was held at a small venue called StuA, and with only 450 tickets available, the concert quickly sold out.[citation needed]

On 28 October 2006, Emperor returned to the UK to play a gig at London's Astoria venue, where the band was warmly greeted by fans. In 2007, Emperor played a series of one-off shows in the United States and two festival gigs in France and Finland.[citation needed]

Samoth announced on 23 October 2007 that Emperor had begun preparing a second official DVD release.[11] On 8 December 2008 it was revealed that this release will be called Live Inferno and come in the form of a double-disc live album and a live DVD, taken from their appearances


at Inferno and Wacken metal festivals during their brief reunion.[12] It was released on 16 April 2009 in Europe and 21 April in North America.

On 2 August 2013, it was announced that Emperor would be reuniting to headline the 25th anniversary Wacken Festival in 2014.[13] In the following months, they were announced as headliners for the 2014 editions of the Bloodstock Open Air and Hellfest festivals. In April 2014, they announced shows in Tokyo and Osaka for July with Trym playing drums due to Faust's visa issues.

On 12 August 2016, it was announced that Emperor would reunite again in 2017 for a special set of performances to celebrate their 20th anniversary second studio album Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk.[14]a mini video. And

of the cross of Chrsit as the moment of the victory of Christ over all that is
evil was the way the cross was understood for a 1000 years.

It’s
a powerful image.

Suman’s face burned, stinging and swelling to the point where her lips and eyes were no longer visible.

The assailant – Suman’s brother-in-law – had a long history of harassing her. In the years before the attack, he had initiated unwanted sexual advances and implored her to marry him. In 2014, her brother-in-law had even pinned her down, taking compromising photos that he stored on a USB drive.

Transbilayer distribution and mobility of phosphatidylinositol in human red blood cells.
The present studies describe the distribution of phosphatidylinositol (PI) within the membrane bilayer of the human red blood cell (RBC) as well as its transbilayer mobility. The membrane bilayer distribution was determined by measuring the hydrolysis of PI in the exterior leaflet of the RBC membrane using a PI-specific phospholipase C and by extraction of PI from the exterior leaflet using bovine serum albumin. The transbilayer mobility of PI was measured by following the fate of radiolabeled PI which was first incorporated into the outer leaflet of the RBC membrane. Our results indicate that PI is asymmetrically distributed in the membrane, with approximately 80% located in the inner and 20% in the outer leaflet of the bilayer.

The leak exposed massive corruption by Daniel Arap Moi, and the Kenyan people sat up and took notice. In the ensuing elections, in which corruption became a major issue, violence swept the country. "1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak," says Assange.

featuring the Eagles held at the Metropolitan Stadium on August 1, 1978. Before the concert, Casablanca requested respondent Writers, Inc. to secure $150,000 "event" valued form rain insurance to insure the concert against rain in excess of .10 inch during the performance. Writers secured one policy for $30,000 from St. Paul Companies (not a party to this action), and two policies for $60,000 each from Lloyd's through respondents American National General Agencies, Inc.
The St. Paul valued form policy provided that, if the specified amount of rain fell during the concert, appellant would be paid the face value of the policy without requiring the concert to be canceled, abandoned, or postponed. The American National policies were also valued form policies, but they conditioned payment upon the cancellation, abandonment, orpostponement of the concert. A valued form policy commands a higher premium which was quoted and paid on both the St. Paul and American National policies.
During the concert, between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m., over one-tenth of one inch of rain fell at the concert site. Appellant did not cancel, abandon, or postpone the event. No refund was issued to ticket holders. Casablanca then submitted claims for the proceeds of the policies. St. Paul paid its policy in full.
American National denied Casablanca's claim, stating that the policies permitted recovery only if the concert was canceled, abandoned, or postponed.

A New York Summary: Part 1 of 10

I can only share a few words about Cody, he is rather incapable of receiving complements though he is probably one of the people most deserving.

I first met Cody in the spring of 2004, we had just been hired as RA's of our University and in a get-to-know-you Staff Meeting I had the misfortune of sitting next to this chump. We were both studying film and as I was secretly on the verge of giving it up, Cody was on the secret verge of taking over the world with it. He asked me to Produce his next film project (just after a 5 minute conversation) and I agreed without any intention on actually following through.

In the fall semester Cody snuck hisway into my film production class (he was technically a year behind me) and next thing I know I was actually being roped into working on his project. At the time it was the hardest project I had ever worked on but also the most rewarding. I didn't think anyone could accomplish something so great with so little. A few weeks later we shot my first short film, which Cody DP'd, and again I was surprised with the outcome. I actually remembered why I wanted to do film in the first place - to tell stories, to tell my stories. My film was not the greatest in the world, heck to be honest it's not very good at all, but it was my film and without Cody I


don't think I would even have gotten that far.

When the opportunity came for me to return to London to pursue a job offer in film, I had been working as a leasing agent at the time, it was Cody who made sure I had what I needed to get out of Saint Louis, out of the slump that is post-college failure, out of complacency. Though the London road has not been an easy one I have the privilege to say that today, TODAY, I work for an International Television Production company. Cody saved my career, my ambition, and most importantly he saved me.

Cody grew up in Saint Charles, just outside of Saint Louis (where I met him) but has since moved to New York City to pursue hisSan Jose police are trying to track down a man who tried to sexually assault a woman in a grocery store restroom last month and then forced his way into the home of a 13-year-old girl as she arrived home from school on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, he is believed to have followed the 13-year-old girl as she walked home from school. Police responded to the girl's home in the 4000 block of Rio Vista Avenue and she told investigators he had forced his way through the front door of her home as she went inside.

Home surveillance video shows the suspect pushing up against the girl and cornering her against a wall before the victim was able to get away.

"I had to fight this guy and I'm thinking, 'Help me,


help me please.' That was actually the only thing that was going through my mind," the teen girl said in an interview with NBC Bay Area.

The girl also said it appeared the man was recording the encounter on his phone.

The suspect left after the attack and fled before police arrived.

The girl said she took her phone and started texting her father and "running to the best hiding spot I could find." She also reported the suspect had a strong smell of either alcohol or cologne.

"I just really hope we can catch him," the teen said.

On April 2, the same suspect is believed to have followed a 28-year-old woman into a public restroom at Mitsuwa Marketplace, a Japanese grocery store at 675 Saratoga Ave.

He attempted to sexually assault thewoman in the restroom and fled before police arrived shortly before 1 p.m., police said.

"He had the confidence to do it once. He had the confidence to do it again. He's going to strike again," San Jose Police Sgt. Enrique Garcia said. "What we want to do is prevent that third attempt."

Police released surveillance photos of the man from both locations Wednesday.

He is described as a white man about 30 years old with a medium height, a thin build and a beard. When he followed the teen girl home from school, he was wearing a black beanie, a blue long-sleeved button-down shirt, light-colored cargo shorts and a dark messenger bag.

He may have been riding a light-blue 10-speed bicycle as well.

The suspect remains at large. Anyone with information about


The human spine serves as the main structural weight bearing support of the human skeleton. The spinal column comprises a plurality of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs. Moving down the spinal column, five distinct regions exist as follows: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal. The cervical region comprises seven vertebra; the thoracic region, twelve; the lumbar region, five; the sacral, five; and the coccygeal, four. The cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae generally remain separate throughout an individual's lifetime whereas the sacral and coccygeal vertebrae fuse to form the sacrum and coccyx, respectively. In general, each vertebra consists of an anterior, cancellous, portion and a posterior arch, comprising two pedicles and two laminae, which support seven processes (four articular, two transverse, and one spinous).

Three studies were undertaken of two cohorts of young people with Down's syndrome. One cohort, of 52 people, was born in the 1960s and they were seen in their teens and again in their mid-20s. The other cohort, of 26 people, was born in the 1970s and they were seen in their teens. The studies show that while carers in both cohorts paid lip service to the rights of young people with learning disabilities to have sexual experiences and to marry, they did not necessarily feel that this applied to their own youngsters. Carers of the 1970s cohort at teenage were more permissive than carers of the 1960s cohort at adulthood. How carers controlled the sexuality of their young

New Football brought new people to the game, mostly middle class families, as a result the hooligan element which had been bringing the game into disrepute for the previous couple of decades were pushed to the sidelines. They haven’t gone away, but now we can see them for what they always were, a collection of pathetic Neanderthals dragging their tattooed knuckles along the ground on a long march to nowhere.

The trouble with New Football, much like its political sibling, is that its excesses and distortions of reality will be better remembered than any good it might have done.

The stock in trade of the Premier League and its subsequent incarnations was, from the start,most important thing about success in sport or any other field, that achieving it has more to do with hard work than innate talent. By the time the current World Cup rolled around they believed themselves to have a divine right to win, then came the worst campaign mounted by an England team since we first entered the contest in 1950 and hubris turned into halitosis overnight.

HisEast Kent Mencap receives funding for new round of Fit Start club

Thanet learning disability charity East Kent Mencap has received funding for a free healthy living club in Ramsgate.

Fit Start is a weekly club run by East Kent Mencap, and provides the opportunity for adults with a learning disability to find out about how they can lead healthier lifestyles through making changes to their diet and exercise regimes.

The charity launched the club in April 2015, and received funding to run it for just over a year. During this time, Fit Start made a real difference to the health of those that attended the club. By the tenth week, 50% of the group had already lowered their resting heart rate and blood pressure, the same number had lost weight,


and a third had lowered their BMI.

Due to this success, the club attracted the interest of Heart Research UK and Subway, who offered to continue funding Fit Start through their Healthy Heart Grant. This grant will allow East Kent Mencap to run its healthy living club for a total of 40 weeks, which will be offered in four 10-week courses.

The club will continue to be led by Motiv8 Sports’ Kimberley Besant, who said: “I was so excited to hear that Fit Start had received further funding. When we spoke to participants about the possibility of it not continuing, there was a real look of disappointment in their faces, so to now know that we can to provide a further 40 weeks is beyond satisfying.”

HeartFighting between Syrian government forces and rebel groups raged near Aleppo international airport and nearby airbases as the battle for Syria's second city entered its second year, activists said.

"Fierce clashes broke out at dawn near Aleppo international airport and Nairab air base," the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Sunday.

The monitoring group also reported fighting in the Suleiman Halabi district of the city, once Syria's commercial hub, and overnight clashes at Kwayris military airport.

Violence in Aleppo comes a year after a massive rebel advance into the provincial capital. Stalemate has gripped the city ever since, dividing it into areas under and out of government control.

The pro-regime Al-Watan daily on Sunday lashed out at the Aleppo rebels, saying they "have not succeeded in securing their goal of


taking control of Syria's commercial capital".

Elsewhere, the Observatory reported that a Republican Guard officer had been killed by rebels at a key flashpoint.

"Fighting in Adra on the northeastern outskirts of Damascus left an elite Republican Guard officer dead," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told the AFP news agency.

Adra is an entry point to the capital's key Abbasiyeen Square, the target of several rebel attacks in recent months.

State news agency SANA said the army "captured several terrorists from Jabhat al-Nusra, some of them foreign nationals", west of Adra.

Rebels clash

Meanwhile, clashes between Kurdish fighters and al-Qaeda-affiliated groups raged in northern Syria, according to Kurdish media in the region.

Kurdish fighters loyal to the Democratic Union Party (PYD) recently expelled fighters allied to Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq andthe Levant from some of the strategic Kurdish towns in the north.

Kurdish regions have been administered by local Kurdish councils since President Bashar al-Assad's forces withdrew from the areas in mid-2012.

The redeployment was seen as a tactical move by the regime, freeing up forces to battle rebels elsewhere, and encouraging the Kurds to avoid allying with the opposition in order to maintain their new-found autonomy.

Sunday's violence came a day after at least 109 people were killed nationwide, the Observatory said. It estimates a death toll of more than 100,000 people in the 28-month war.


The UK is the most overweight country in Western Europe, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has stated.

Over 63 percent of adults in Britain are overweight OECD says. The 2017 Obesity Update report found that the UK is the sixth fattest nation out of 35 OECD member countries, with a 27 percent adult obesity rate. The US, Mexico, New Zealand, Hungary and Australia fare worse than the UK, though. The countries with the lowest levels of obesity are Japan, Korea, Italy and Switzerland.

Adult obesity rates in the UK have increased by 92 percent since the 1990s, while in the US with an obesity rate of 38 percent, the increase has been a “mere” 65 percent. A further 36 percent of the UK population are overweight. WhenAs2S3 + 3 H2O

The excess arsenic trioxide is then determined by titrating against standard iodine solution using starch indicator. Note that for the best results, the sulfide solution must be dilute with the sulfide concentration not greater than 0.01 M.

Determination of hexacyanoferrate(III)
When iodide is added to a solution of hexacyanoferrate(III), the following equilibrium exists:

 2 [Fe(CN)6]3− + 2 I− ⇌ 2 [Fe(CN)6]4− + I2

Under strongly acidic solution, the above equilibrium lies far to the right hand side, but is reversed in almost neutral solution. This makes analysis of hexacyanoferrate (III) troublesome as the iodide and thiosulfate decomposes in strongly acidic medium. To drive the reaction to completion, an excess amount of zinc salt can be added to the reaction mixture containing potassium ions, which precipitates the hexacyanoferrate(II) ion


quantitatively:

 2 [Fe(CN)6]3− + 2 I− + 2 K+ + 2 Zn2+ → 2 KZn[Fe(CN)6] + I2

The precipitation occurs in slightly acidic medium, thus avoids the problem of decomposition of iodide and thiosulfate in strongly acidic medium, and the hexacyanoferrate(III) can be determined by iodometry as usual.

II. Undisputed Facts
The facts giving rise to this case began in 1985. The Bannum plaintiffs are Kentucky corporations and provide supervised residential programs for ex-offenders in conjunction with the United States Bureau of Prisons. On January 11, 1985, Bannum entered into a contract with the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") for the establishment of a community treatment center ("CTC") in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; the BOP subsequently awarded Bannum a three-year contract.[1] The CTC was to provide housing and job placement services for federal prisoners serving the last stages of their sentences. The prisoners generally had been convicted of non-violent white collar crimes. Bannum intended to lease rooms at the Areca Palms Motel ("Areca Palms") in Fort Lauderdale to houseits participants. Around that time, Bannum sought approval from the City for its CTC and filed an application for an occupational use license. Bannum did not apply for a special use license. In April 1985, the City approved Bannum's application for an occupational license on the condition that Bannum move its offices to a commercial zone and obtain a license for that office. Bannum moved its offices to 1776 E. Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, and the City issued to Bannum city and county occupational licenses for "housing and job placement services." As stated above, Bannum did not apply for a special use license and, therefore, the City did not issue said license. Bannum then commenced operation of its CTC.
Upon receiving complaints from City residents, the City issued a


notice of violation of Section 47-11.1.1(d) of the Fort Lauderdale Code of Ordinance to the owner of the Areca Palms Motel, Gordon Johnson ("Johnson") on December 19, 1985. That section of the Fort Lauderdale Code of Ordinances requires a special use permit for the operation of a "custodial facility" in the City. Johnson then issued a notice to quit and vacate the premises to Bannum and also appealed the citation to the Board of Adjustments. At the Board of Adjustment meeting on February 12, 1986, Johnson, through his counsel, argued that Bannum's CTC did not constitute a "custodial facility." Lodie Leslie, Bannum's program manager in Fort Lauderdale, also testified at the hearing that Bannum did not have custody of the prisoners and argued that the CTC was nota custodial facility. The Board of Adjustment, however, denied the appeal and found that the Areca Palms Motel was being operated as a "custodial facility" as contemplated under Section 47-11.1.1(d). Johnson then appealed the Board of Adjustment's *1233 decision to the Fort Lauderdale Code Enforcement Board. At the meeting on February 25, 1986, Johnson and the Fort Lauderdale Code Enforcement Board entered into a stipulation agreeing that Johnson would appeal the Board of Adjustment's decision to the Circuit Court of Broward County.
On March 6, 1986, the BOP decided to remove the ex-offenders from the Areca Palms. On March 17, 1986, the BOP issued a Notice to Cure to Bannum and gave Bannum ten (10) days in which to cure the default, i.e., Bannum's failure to procure a special


use license. At that point, Bannum attempted to secure an alternate site for its program.
During the next seven months, Bannum worked with the City to find a new location for the CTC. Bannum located a suitable property at 400 Southeast 31st Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida and thereafter applied for a special use permit for the new property. On October 15, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Board held a hearing with respect to Bannum's application. As a condition for issuing the special use permit, the Planning and Zoning Board informed Bannum that the police department desired the names and/or status of the ex-offenders in Bannum's CTC. Bannum informed the Planning an Zoning Board that the BOP would not authorize a list of the ex-offenders to be disclosed to theIndia’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars 2018, Newton, is out of the race for the honour.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Thursday announced that nine features will advance to the next round of voting in the Foreign Language Film category for the 90th Academy Awards, according to the official website of the Oscars.

Newton, directed by Amit V. Masurkar and starring the stellar Rajkummar Rao in a story set against the backdrop of elections in the world’s largest democracy, was not a part of it.

The shortlisted films have been selected from 92 titles that had originally been considered in the category. A Fantastic Woman (Chile), In the Fade (Germany), On Body and Soul (Hungary), Foxtrot (Israel), The Insult (Lebanon), Loveless


(Russia), Felicite (Senegal), The Wound (South Africa) and The Square (Sweden) have made the cut to the shortlist.

Nominations for all categories of the 90th Academy Awards will be announced on January 23. The Oscars ceremony will be held on March 4 at the Dolby Theatre here.

So far, Mother India, Salaam Bombay! and Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India are the only Indian films that made it to the top five in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the Academy Awards, but none have won the honour.Functional morphology of the lemuriform wrist joints and the relationship between wrist morphology and positional behavior in arboreal primates.
A comparative study of carpal joint structure and function in six Malagasy lemuriforms was undertaken to test predicted morphoclines in carpal joint morphology between pronograde and orthograde arboreal primates. Patterns of movement at the wrist during locomotion were observed and described for the lemuriform species Lemur fulvus and Propithecus verreauxi. Lemur fulvus, which assumes a pronograde posture during locomotion, extends and pronates the wrist during the support phase of quadrupedal walking and running stride cycles. Furthermore, the forearm of this species exhibits some transverse movement across the proximal wrist joint during the support phase. In contrast, the indriid Propithecus maintains the hand and wrist in a flexed and partially supinated


position during vertical clinging and suspensory postures. Habitual quadrupedal and vertical postures in Malagasy primates are in turn related to very different patterns of carpal joint morphology and articular mechanics. Those lemurs which are predominantly pronograde share a series of structural features related to stabilizing the antebrachiocarpal joint during extension and mediolateral deviation and the midcarpal joint during pronation: an intraarticular labrum is present on the inner portion of the radiocarpal ligament, the radiocarpal articular surface is quite flat dorsoventrally, the capitate-trapezoid embrasure is expanded dorsally, and development of the radial and ulnar styloids is more pronounced. The wrists of Propithecus, Avahi, and Lepi-lemur (vertical clingers) differ from those of quadrupedal lemuriforms in possessing a suite of morphological features related to stabilizing the wrist during antebrachiocarpal flexion andForward by Richard Galustian

as the criterion variable, this study examined target's experiences based on interviews with people who self-identifed as having experienced difficulties with a boss, coworker, or subordinate. The interpersonal aspects of emotional abuse focused on the nature of behaviors exhibited and the respondents' labeling of their experience. Consistent with elements of researchers' definitions, behaviors were defined as abusive when they were repetitive, resulted in injury or harm to target, and were experienced as a lack of recognition of the individual's integrity. Judgments of violation of standards of conduct and unsolicited nature of the behaviors were also related to respondents' experiences. Relative power differential was also an important element. However, contrary to researchers' definitions, actor intent was not central in defining the experience as abusive.

An official from the Roman Catholic Church says that it is "impossible" to undergo "de-baptism" as a growing number of people in Western Europe and the United States request such a process.

Jeannine Marino, program specialist for evangelization & catechesis at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, told CP that atheists who seek to be "de-baptized" or "un-baptized" cannot technically do so.

"From the Church's perspective, it is impossible to 'un-baptize' or 'de-baptize' someone because we believe that baptism permanently seals the person to Christ and the Church," said Marino.

"People can stop participating in the Church, but we believe the grace of the sacrament has marked them


forever."

Marino explains that with baptism, "no matter how long they have been away from the Church" an individual "can return to the faith."

"If the request to be 'de-baptized' is meant to have one's name removed from the baptismal records, this would not be allowed since the baptismal record is a record of historical facts," said Marino.

"Catholic canon law prohibits records from being substantially altered or deleted."

In Western Europe, the "de-baptize" movement is growing. In 2009, over 100,000 British atheists downloaded "certificates of de-baptism" as a way to disconnecting themselves from the Christian faith once and for all.

In 2010, the Netherlands saw an estimated 2,000 people seek to remove theirbaptism from official records, and one French newspaper estimates that France sees around 1,000 people annually attempt to be "un-baptized."

Although the "de-baptize" movement can also be found in the United States, according to Jeff Field, director of communications for the Catholic League, they are not growing with the strength that they are in Western Europe.

"There have been groups in the United States that have held de-baptisms, but they haven't caught on," said Field.

"These events go to show that they are not happy enough to live a life with no religion, but they feel the need to disparage religion. It says more about their intentions than it does anything else."

"De-baptism," or the act of removing recognition of one's baptism, is treated like a sacrament by some atheist organizations. In


the United States, the group American Atheists has overseen "de-baptisms," using a blow dryer on recipients of their ritual.

Regarding how to reach out to those considering "de-baptism," evangelization & catechesis program specialist Marino talked about Pope Benedict XVI declaring a "Year of Faith" that would begin this coming October.

"The Year of Faith is a time for all Catholics to reach out to our missing brothers and sisters and invite them to rediscover the beauty of the Christian experience."This was the fifth of six McLaren M16s built to 'C' specification early in 1973.

The fight for gay equality continues in the heart of rural America this week, as the Iowa Supreme Court considers a lawsuit brought by six same-sex couples denied marriage licences in the state.

Senior attorneys from Lambda Legal, joined by former Iowa solicitor general Dennis Johnson, will argue that denying marriage to same-sex couples violates the equal protection and due process guarantees in the state’s Constitution.

In August 2007 a trial court ruled that denying marriage to same-sex couples was unconstitutional.

In his ruling at Polk County Court, Judge Robert Hanson launched a stinging attack on the law on marriage as defined between a man and a woman, describing it as:

The special one-off competition — to mark the 50th anniversary for the British literary prize — placed the Man Booker Prize's previous 51 winners in a head-to-head battle to determine which has stood the test of time.

The previous winners were considered by a panel of five specially appointed judges, each of whom was asked to read the winning novels from one decade of the prize's history, before the books faced a month-long public vote on the Man Booker website.

The judges were: Robert McCrum, who chose In a Free State by V. S. Naipaul for the 1970s;


Lemn Sissay, who chose Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively for the 1980s; Kamila Shamsie, who chose The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje for the 1990s; Simon Mayo, who chose Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel for the noughties; and Hollie McNish, who chose Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders for the 2010s.

"I am honoured as well as very surprised to receive this award for The English Patient, as I was to be in the company of the other remarkable nominees," said Ondaatje in a statement from his publisher, Penguin Random House. "It feels the book was written so long ago! I would like to thank all who have supported me and been involved in my work over the years."

The English Patient won the Man Booker Prize in 1992.Novelist Shamsie, author of Home Fire, selected the Second World War classic from all of the winners of the 1990s.

"The English Patient is that rare novel which gets under your skin and insists you return to it time and again, always yielding a new surprise or delight," said Shamsie in a statement. "It's intricately (and rewardingly) structured, beautifully written, with great humanity written into every page…And through all this, he makes you fall in love with his characters, live their joys and their sorrows. Few novels really deserve the praise: transformative. This one does."

Ondaatje's novel takes place at the end of the Second World War, as a nurse, thief and sapper care for a mysterious nameless man they call the English patient. The book won the Governor General's


Literary Award for fiction. Ondaatje spoke with Eleanor Wachtel on Writers & Company in 1992 about his creative process and the research involved in writing the bestselling novel. You can listen to that conversation below:

Ondaatje's latest book, released in May of this year, is a novel called Warlight. It's about the story of a young man looking for answers about his peculiar post-war childhood, left by his parents in the care of two likely criminals.Dogs shot by police: A tribute to the victims of recent tragedies

The number of dogs shot by police in communities across the United States continues to grow. It's estimated a dog is shot every 98 minutes. Below are just a few I've reported on who have made the news.

Be sure to watch the video, lovingly produced by Marsha Soto. It's an awesome tribute to these slain family members.

Jordan, a 1 1/2 year-old pit bull owned by Terry Sally, was shot by Peoria City police on May 20. Police said in their report that Jordan was aggressive. Terry, along with several witnesses, say family and friends were denied their request to take Jordan to a safe place.

Nala, a 7-year-old Shar-pei owned by Sarah Gossard, died June 14 at the


hands of Baltimore Police Department officers. Her throat was slit by Officer Jeffrey Bolger, while Officer Thomas Schmidt allegedly held Nala down. The two officers have been removed from their duty.

Geist, a Weimaraner owned by Sean Kendall, was shot when Salt Lake City Police came into a private, fenced, and gated backyard on June 18, 2014 when the police were searching for an allegedly missing child. The officer responsible says Geist was aggressive, and he feared for his safety.

Bullet, an 8-year-old Rottweiler owned by Russell Lane, was shot and killed in his own home on May 30, when Round Rock (TX) police responded to a burglar alarm, entered the home, and shot Bullet five times. Not only was Bullet shot, police took his body, which compromised any evidencethat in truth Bullet was murdered. Russell found hair on the floor and two bullet holes in the wall.

Cream, a pit bull owned by Adrien Best, was shot by Anderson City Police (South Carolina). The family dog, who was reportedly hit once, ran off into some bushes, and no longer posed a threat. Witnesses say the officer went over to the bushes and fired a second shot, killing the family pet. This was all over a stolen cell phone, and ended with the death of the family dog.

Shiner Bock, a 9-year-old German Shepherd owned by Julian Reyes, was shot and killed by Austin Police on April 24, 2013. Shiner was shot last spring as he accompanied his dad as he was doing some work at his storage building.


Police had been called to what they believed was a burglary in progress in the area. After shiner was shot, Julian was handcuffed and not allowed to tend to his dying dog. A memorial service was held this past April, hosted by the Silverman Law Group.

Rocky, a 10-month-old lab/pit mix owned by Bianca Alakson of Redford, Michigan and boyfriend Ryan Showalker. Redford Township Police were chasing a suspect through the neighborhood, and claim they saw that person inside the home. This, they say, gave officers the right to ignore a "beware of dog" sign on the fence in the back yard. Officer's entered their property through an unlocked back gate. Officers 'feared for their safety' and shot the pup.

Gabanna, a 2-year-old pit owned by Brianna Ridzon and MikeCasale, was shot and killed by an Officer of the Kingston Borough Police Department May 18. She had escaped from her yard, then escaped again. Neighbors report police wouldn't allow them to leash her and get her safely home. Instead, Gabanna was shot, placed in a trash bag and left beside a dumpster. The family learned of her death through social media.

Candy, a 3-year-old Blue Heeler owned by Cole and Jayna Middleton, was shot by Rains County, Texas officer Jerrod Dooley on April 18. Dooley was responding to a burglary call three hours after it was placed by the family. This will be a landmark case in just how far police will go to cover their tracks. Dooley reported Candy was shot because she was aggressive. A necropsy


showed the bullet entered the back of her head. Dooley didn't even have the decency to put her out of her misery. Cole was forced to strangle his beloved dog. Dooley has asked for a jury trial after animal cruelty were charged. He was also relieved of his duties as a Rains County officer.

This isn't a "pit" issue. It's a situation where police shoot family dogs, many times just because they can. Now more and more families are fighting back and winning substantial lawsuits. They're also seeing the officer(s) responsible face animal cruelty charges.
