Supreme Court has on numerous occasions affirmed the constitutionality of "habitual criminal" statutes. In the case of Graham v. West Virginia, 224 U.S. 616, 32 S.Ct. 583, 56 L.Ed. 917, Mr. Justice Hughes, speaking for the court, stated:
"The propriety of inflicting severer punishment upon old offenders has long been recognized in this country and in England. They are not punished the second time for the earlier offense, but the repetition of criminal conduct aggravates their guilt and justifies heavier penalties when they are again convicted. Statutes providing for such increased punishment were enacted in Virginia and New York as early as 1796 and in Massachusetts in 1804; and there have been numerous acts of similar import in many states. This legislation has uniformly been sustained in the stateThe stinking puddle from which usury, thievery and robbery arises is our lords and princes. They make all creatures their property—the fish in the water, the birds in the air, the plant in the earth must all be theirs. Then they proclaim God's commandments among the poor and say, "You shall not steal." ~ Thomas Müntzer

Theft is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent. The word is also used as an informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, shoplifting and fraud. In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny; in others, theft has replaced larceny. Someone who carries out an act of or makes a career of theft is known as


puddle from which usury, thievery and robbery arises is our lords and princes. They make all creatures their property—the fish in the water, the birds in the air, the plant in the earth must all be theirs. Then they proclaim God's commandments among the poor and say, "You shall not steal."

Thomas Müntzer, Letter to the Princes, as cited in Transforming Faith Communities: A Comparative Study of Radical Christianity, p. 173

The male thief, and the female thief, you shall mark, cut, or cut-off their hands/means as a recompense for what they earned, and to serve as a deterrent from God. God is Noble, Wise. Whoever repents after his wrongdoing and makes amends, then God will relent on him. Truly, God is Forgiving, Merciful.

The proceedings of those robbers and murderers, who call themselves "the government," are directly the opposite of these of the single highwayman.

fasteners are used to fasten and ground photovoltaic modules and in the fastening of electric cables.
In the automotive sector, clip fasteners have many uses, including in air bag assembly, window construction, instrument panels and interior and exterior trim attachment. These are some examples of the many uses known for clip fasteners.
Modern demands on the design and construction of clip fasteners mean that new clip fastener solutions need to contribute to ease of assembly as used in production (particularly in view of increasing automation) and provide excellent attachment strength, while maintaining high reliability and low production costs. Compliance with the need for standardization and the requirements of the automotive industry has proved challenging to current clip fastener designs.

Peg has gone back to Winnipeg
She was short and thin
and her husband was tall and corpulent
They were like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
except they weren’t creative
They were retired administrators
who thought they were smarter than everyone else

Peg and her corpulent husband were part of a group
until they alienated everyone with their
overweening sense of superiority
which of course masked a sense of inferiority
which everyone understood
and felt compassion for
until their obnoxiousness
become too much too tolerate

They refused to play cards
one of the group’s foundation activities
They intimated that playing cards was a pastime
for morons

So gradually they were pushed out of the group
They


were thought of with distaste and/or disdain
Members of the group remained polite to them
but nothing more

When Peg’s corpulent husband
had a heart attack and died
Peg went back to Winnipeg
where she’d spent her childhood by a lake
in an unpainted farmhouse

E.J. Gaines spent the first three years of his NFL career in the same cornerback group as Trumaine Johnson with the Rams and he’ll be visiting Johnson’s new team on Thursday.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Gaines is visiting with the Jets on Thursday. He’s also set to visit the Browns, whose defensive coordinator Gregg Williams coached Gaines with the Rams, on Friday after visiting with the Cardinals last week.

Gaines, who is one of two players unsigned and untagged in our list of the Top 25 free agents, left the Rams in a trade with the Bills last summer. He had 59 tackles, three forced fumbles and an interception in 11 games for Buffalo.

In addition to signing Johnson, the Jets also re-signed Morris Claiborne this monthso. After enlisting they were sent to basic training at Sheppard Field, Texas in January 1942, not much more than a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In 1942 Kuroki petitioned his commanding officer and was allowed to work as a clerk for the Eighth Air Force at a base in England.

Character history

Personality

Dustin Brooks, is Zoey Brooks' younger brother. He's the type of person that's always there for everyone, especially his sister, Zoey. He is also known to be a bit shy. Besides being his fiercest protector and closest confidante, Zoey has more recently become her brother's classmate at the newly coed PCA. A child prodigy, Dustin enjoys sharing an 8th grade geometry class with his equally savvy elder sister. He also enjoys helping Quinn Pensky with her scientific experiments, when he is not talking his way in and out of assorted sticky situations.

Whenever he gets in over his head, Zoey is always the first one to rush to her kid brother's aid. Although her playing 'bodyguard' gets on Dustin's nerves from time to time, he loves Zoey toomuch to hold that against her. By Season 3, not only is Dustin friends with all of the main characters, but he also spends much time socializing with kids closer to his own age. When Zoey and his parents move to London, he stays at PCA. In Season 4, however, he started to become a little more rude, such as in the movie Chasing Zoey, when he made fun of Quinn about her falling off his bike.

Although despite the fact that he was being selfish from time to time during the final season of the show, he still was shown to like Zoey's company, still helped her friends often, and was still generally kind to those around him.

Relationships

Dustin started dating the troublemaker, Trisha, in the episode, "Bad Girl",


when they became science partners, and she wrote her number on his arm. Trisha is a year older, and a lot of trouble. Dustin begins to act "bad" to fit in and be liked by his girlfriend. Zoey finds out about Trisha, and wants Dustin to stop dating her, because she is a bad influence. Zoey tells Chase to tell Trisha to stop dating Dustin, but she then starts to "date" Chase. Dustin becomes infuriated, and "beats" up Chase for stealing his girl, but then turns her down after, claiming he is too good for her.

Dustin's date in Lola Likes Chase. She was the sister of Tracy Baldwin, who was in Logan's History class. Logan had been training Dustin how to get a date, but his methods oftrash-talking was too much for Tracy. Dustin, on the other hand, was more successful with Sandy, and the two were still together at the end of the episode. It is unknown what happened to her after that.

Dustin's date to prom. Logan picked Dustin as Quinn`s date and Quinn picked Stacey as Logan's date so no one would be aware the two were dating. Dustin said yes because he knew Quinn was one of Zoey's best friends. Dustin took her to prom on his bike. Dustin laughed at her when she fell off, so she used her nerve pinch on him, rendering him unconscious. When Quinn and Logan revealed that they loved each other, Dustin, realizing that Quinn had used him, left in a huff.

Trivia

Despite being a main character,


Dustin only appears in 25 episodes out of 65 in Zoey 101, which is only 38% of the episodes, and the least of all Zoey 101 main characters, except Dana and James who were only starbilled in one season each, while Dustin had star billing for all four seasons. He is also one of the only two main characters who has never gone a full season with being present in every episode, the other being James Garrett.

The whiteboard on the door to his room, has his name on it, as well as three other stick figures that say Dad, Mom, and Zoey. (Quinn's Date)

Dustin apparently doesn't have very good eye sight, as mentioned in Bad Girl. He also mentions possibly getting glasses in the future. However, he was

THE LJUBICA MATKOVIC.
District Court, S. D. New York.
February 25, 1943.
*937 William L. Standard, of New York City (Louis H. Rubinstein, of New York City, of counsel), for libelant.
Burlingham, Veeder, Clark & Hupper, of New York City (Ray Rood Allen, of New York City, and George F. Tinker, of New York City, of counsel), for S. S. Ljubica Matkovic and Constantin Fotitch, Minister of Yugoslavia.
CAFFEY, District Judge.
I should like to discuss fully the interesting questions raised in this case. Time to do so, however, is lacking. I shall, therefore, confine myself to the minimum of what I deem it necessary to cover in reaching a conclusion.
Prior to December, 1940, the libelant was chief mate of the vessel Ljubica Matkovic. The vessel was then owned by a


corporation of Yugoslavia. In January, 1942, the libelant commenced the present suit, in which he seeks recovery of $5,000 alleged to be owing for his services while chief mate, and in the suit caused the arrest of the vessel.
When he was employed on the ship the libelant was a citizen and resident of Yugoslavia. By an order of Judge Clancy dated April 24, 1942, and served that day on the libelant's proctor, the Minister of that country accredited to the United States was permitted to intervene. The purpose of the Minister intervening, as shown by his petition (paragraphs 10-13; prayers 2 and 3), was, in behalf of his government, to contest this court's jurisdiction.
The present motion asks for two things: First, an order striking out the petition ofpossession of the vessel. (4) A deposition already taken by the intervenor establishes that he cannot succeed in the suit.
I. At the time of the events mentioned our Department of State recognized, and it still recognizes, the intervenor as the Minister of Yugoslavia. In consequence, the Department of State not having presented his claim to the court, he was entitled to appear in court and to act for his government in the court proceedings. Compania Espanola, etc., v. The Navemar, 303 U.S. 68, 74, 76, 58 S.Ct. 432, 82 L.Ed. 667.
As previously stated, in 1942 the intervenor filed a petition alleging that his government owns the vessel involved and claiming its immunity from suit in a court of the United States and Judge Clancy made an order allowing


only himself to propose, and procure settlement of, an order in conformity with Judge Bondy's ruling.
III. In the Navemar case, 303 U.S. 68, 75, 76, 58 S.Ct. 432, 435, 82 L.Ed. 667, it was held that, in order for a foreign government to sustain a claim of immunity of its vessel from jurisdiction in a court of the United States, it may rely on either of two alternative grounds. One of these is "actual possession by some act of physical dominion or control in behalf of the" foreign government. The other is "at least some recognition on the part of the ship's officers that they were controlling the vessel and crew in behalf of their government." It may be assumed (though I do not now determine) that toof our members told us a story. He said that in his early twenties, he made a conscious decision not to lie. He was dating many girls at once. He told so many that he loved them, that he couldn't keep who was who straight. "I love you. What's your name, again?"
.
There came a time when he became disgusted with himself. He decided that he wanted to change his life and become a different person. He wanted to be a respected, honest, upright man. It was a conscious decision. From then on, he has always tried to be honest with everyone.

I had noticed that he reflects before he talks. He is not one to jump into a conversation. And when you ask him a question, you can see


Crackdown on Annulments

The Catholic Church is starting to reevaluate the strictness of the annulment process. With the high divorce rate in the United States the number of Catholics requesting annulments has increased as well. What concerns the Catholic Church especially in the United States is that the two thirds of the annulments that are given out by the Church are being given out in the United States where the Catholic population makes up only six percent of the total Catholic population. The concern that the Church has on the issue of annulments is a valid concern since that over half of the annulments of the whole Church are being given out to such a small fraction of the total Catholic population. The fact of the matter is thatImage copyright Getty Images Image caption Waterstones called Rooney's second novel "astounding"

Sally Rooney's novel Normal People, which has won rave reviews and a deal to become a BBC drama, has been named the best book of 2018 by Waterstones.

The novel tells the intimate story of an on-off relationship between two school friends in a small Irish town after the financial crisis.

Waterstones said the book confirmed the 27-year-old author as "one of the outstanding novelists at work today".

Dublin-born Rooney said she was "very touched by the honour".

Normal People is Rooney's second novel and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize earlier this year.

It was described as "a future classic" by the Guardian, "superb" by the Irish Times, and "quite astonishing" by the Independent.

The book will be turned into a


BBC drama series by Irish director Lenny Abrahamson, who made his name with 2014's Frank.

His next film, Room, won Brie Larson a best actress Oscar in 2016.

RSPCA inspector Charlotte Baumann said: “One fire officer climbed up the tree and cut the branch, then swung it down to another officer in the lake. The owl then had to be cut out of an utter tangle of nets and line which he had got caught in.

Friday's Stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia has been cancelled because of snow, while stage 20 has been re-routed.

Both stages in the Dolomite mountains have been hit by bad weather but race organisers still hope Saturday's penultimate stage will go ahead.

A 210km route from Silandro to Tre Cime di Lavaredo has been planned with three of the five original mountains cut.

Italy's Vincenzo Nibali leads the race by four minutes and two seconds from Australia's Cadel Evans.

Weather-hit Giro Stage 20: three of five mountain climbs removed

Stage 19: cancelled because of snow

Stage 15: avalanche risk means ascent to Col du Galibier is cut short but race still affected by snow

Stage 14: Climb to Sestriere trimmed because of danger of ice on descent with riders facing snow

Friday's 139km stage was scheduledyou have the race route, a plan B and a plan C but we can't do all the alphabet.

"On Saturday there is also a change in the route. The San Pellegrino is covered in snow and we're trying to save the finish at Tre Cime."

Stage 20 was set to feature five categorised climbs during a final day in the Dolomites of northern Italy but the Passo Costalunga, Passo di San Pellegrino and Passo Giau have all been omitted from the new route.

The climb of the Passo Tre Croci remains, along with the final climb to the finish at Tre Cime di Lavaredo, weather permitting.

The Giro, which ends in Brescia on Sunday, has been hampered throughout by unseasonal bad weather.

Stage 14's route missed out the climb to Sestriere because


to go for the points in the intermediate sprint - the sprint was scheduled to come after the two big mountain passes! "Seriously, it is a shame but with Vincenzo Nibali being so dominant I can't see that it will make much difference to the overall outcome of the race." Listen to Radio 5 live's stage 18 podcast

Pre-event favourite Sir Bradley Wiggins pulled out after stage 12 because of a chest infection, while defending champion Ryder Hesjedal also abandoned the race through illness.

The cancellation of stage 19 hands an advantage to Briton Mark Cavendish in the race for the red points jersey.

Cavendish, who struggles in the mountains, leads Evans by four points and Nibali by 10 in that particular race, but he was expected to lose the jerseysubject of this scandal, was alleged to have been caught sending sexually explicit images to a female member of the official Star Citizen forum community. He was later banned (reports are that it was for an unrelated incident) for a short period of time. This is the same person to whom Sandi Gardner, tweeted her “support” after I wrote a scathing Tweet to him as a result of his incessant harassment. According to Topsy, she has since deleted that tweet. This person is one of the most abusive and reviled members of the Star Citizen community. Bar none. That’s him in the chair! And he’s a real peach. And was once banned from Reddit Star Citizen community for, you guessed it, making death threats.

And with all the departures


of all the crap they’ve done and continue to do. Most recently one of them was uncovered as an ex-writer for Tech Raptor who, after writing a highly defamatory “Threat Assessment” (of me to the Star Citizen project) and claiming that I had mental issues, while posing as an “expert” (which was found to be false), was legally forced to not only scrub it from the Internet and apologize, but he also ended up deleting his entire Reddit profile, along with the sub-Reddit (which he was parked on and attacking myself and others from behind) he had setup.

This group are the worse of the worst. But that’s for another upcoming blog.

This is the same community headed by Chris Roberts who decided that writing the most inflammatory and libelousWarthog, were associated with the Gizmondo money laundering operation that was busted worldwide a few years ago.

Simon Elms, now the CFO of Foundry 42, was also the CFO for Warthog which was bought by Gizmondo and became Gizmondo Texas. Gizmondo had previously bought Tiger Telematics which was used as the entity company to purchase Warthog.

Nick Elms is also reported to have been investigated by the UK FSA back when he dumped Warthog shares, thus crashing the share price, when his brother was CFO of that company.

As the story goes, Gizmondo was a money laundering front for the Swedish Uppsala mafia headed by Swedish Gangster named “Fat Steve”. Along with his partner Mikael Ljungman, they bought the company. Simon Elms was the CFO for Gizmondo since the begining and


he was also director of several companies, including Virtual Poker (of which both Simon Elms and Erin Roberts were officers). That company was quietly dissolved in early 2008, while Gizmondo went bankrupt later that same year.

It gets better.

Swedish newspapers (such as this one see translation) reported that, among other things, the crooks who founded Gizmondo were previously involved in various illegal activities. Those included distributing counterfeit money, blackmail, extortion and assault. And the icing on the proverbial criminal enterprise cake is that they were debt collectors for the Swedish underworld aka the Uppsala mafia. I kid you not. Here is the partial rap sheet for these charmers back then.

Stefan Eriksson, Executive Director at Gizmondo Europe, was previously convicted to five years in prison in 1993 for planning todistribute counterfeit money. He got another five years for trying to defraud financial institution for approximately $3 million. Peter Uf, also a director, was previously sentenced to almost 9 years on similar charges as Stefan. Johan Enander, head of security at Gizmondo, had been convicted for blackmail and aggravated assault.

Later in 2009, Mikael went to jail for various financial crimes and Carl Freer was being investigated by the FBI on RICO charges.

The whole thing was so freaking outrageous, that not even the US media back in the day could believe it. Here is one such accounting. Which brings us to the crashed Ferrari that was seemingly the final act that got everyone busted.

Fast forward.

Warthog, which was in financial trouble, was bailed out by Gizmondo to become Gizmondo Texas.


Eric Peterson (remember him?), was made head of global studios, while Erin Roberts was studio manager of Gizmondo Manchester, along with Simon Elms. The company was supposed to have been working on various casino games which were to be released for the Gizmondo device. These are games that were reportedly never going to be released, since the device was nothing but a pipe dream. That company was dissolved before this was all publicly known.

After it all collapsed, Simon Elms later went off to Cubic motion and Nick Elms and some other guys set up Embryonic studios. Erin showed up at some point. Embryonic was later bought by Travelers Tales. Erin and Nick were there for awhile, until Chris showed up with a bag of money and asked hiswas the end of that.

As for Ortwin, he too was linked to legal issue in Germany related to raising money for movies that were never going to be made. As one story goes, in 2007 Andreas Schmid and Andreas Grosch were both sentenced by a German court because they defrauded investors. Schmid was sentenced to 6 years in Jail.

The scheme was one in which investors would fund films and were promised a huge return on investment. Some of those films were either never produced, or were produced at a huge loss. The tax incentives for those loses remained with the company, while the investors lost their investment in whole or in part.

In the German media reports, (1, 2) Ortwin appeared in one of those cases and several of


explicit: He did not want the certain Democratic nominee, the candidate he was backing to succeed him, to be indicted. Conveniently, his remarks (inevitably echoed by Comey) did not mention that an intent to endanger national security was not an element of the criminal offenses Clinton was suspected of committing – in classic Obama fashion, he was urging her innocence of a strawman crime while dodging any discussion of the crimes she had actually committed. As we also now know – but as Obama knew at the time – the president himself had communicated with Clinton over her non-secure, private communications system, using an alias. The Obama administration refused to disclose these several e-mail exchanges because they undoubtedly involve classified conversations between the president and his secretary ofor after Hillary Clinton was interviewed by the FBI on July 2nd?”

Comey’s answer under oath?

“After”

Following the exchange, the Office of Rep. John Ratcliffe issued the following statement:

Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) exposed troubling new details today surrounding the Clinton email investigation during his questioning of FBI Director James Comey before the House Judiciary Committee. In the exchange, Ratcliffe focused on implications of the facts revealed by documents released by the FBI after Comey initially announced his recommendation not to press criminal charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ratcliffe’s exchange with Comey showed that: In his multi-decade career as a prosecutor Comey could not recall a single instance in which two key witnesses of a criminal investigation were allowed to sit in on an interview with the principle

He proffers prating pronouncements of pismire presumption--two can play this game--when he writes, "[Coleridge] in his sadness offered a healing and a hope far more capacious and powerful than the paltry poultices and promises of the merely happy."

What inhibits and challenges "the affirmative impulse" in us is "the absence of any appearance of reconciliation between the theory and the practice of life" and "the disproportion between the sky of law and the pismire of performance under it." (54) This mantra criss-crosses virtually all of Emerson's writings.

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg ofthe wren, And the tree-toad is a chef-d'oeuvre for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue, And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.


Shaman burial

He and his international team analysed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China.

It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl inside a leather basket near the head of a Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.

"This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items," says Russo, mentioning that the objects included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp.

The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic.

Scientists originally thought the plant material in the grave was coriander, but microscopic botanical analysis of the bowl contents, along with genetic testing, revealed that it was cannabis.

The size of seedsmixed in with the leaves, along with their colour and other characteristics, indicate the marijuana came from a cultivated strain.

Ingested

Before the burial, someone had carefully picked out all of the male plant parts, which are less psychoactive, so Russo and his team believe there is little doubt as to why the cannabis was grown.

What is in question, however, is how the marijuana was administered, since no pipes or other objects associated with smoking were found in the grave.

"Perhaps it was ingested orally," says Russo. "It might also have been fumigated, as the Scythian tribes to the north did subsequently."

Although other cultures in the area used hemp to make various goods as early as 7000 years ago, additional tomb finds indicate the Gushi fabricated their clothing from wool and


made their rope out of reed fibres.

The scientists are unsure if the marijuana was grown for spiritual or medical purposes, but it's evident that the blue-eyed man was buried with a lot of it.

"As with other grave goods, it was traditional to place items needed for the afterlife in the tomb with the departed," says Russo.

The ancient marijuana stash is now housed at Turpan Museum in China.

In the future, Russo hopes to conduct further research at the Yanghai site, which has 2000 other tombs.(Screen Capture)

(CNSNews.com) - The number of people employed by the federal government declined by 1,000 in September, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Since President Donald Trump took office, federal employment has declined by 16,000.

In December 2016, the month before Trump’s inauguration, there were 2,810,000 people employed by the federal government, according to the BLS data. By August 2018, that had declined by 15,000 to 2,795,000. In September, it declined another 1,000 to 2,794,000.

At the same time, overall government employment (including those employed by state and local governments) increased 13,000 in September and has climbed by 100,000 since December 2016.

In December, 2016, there were 22,306,000 people employed in state, local and federal government combined. By August 2018, that had climbed to 22,393,000. In September,


it jumped again to 22,406,000.

In September, the increase in government employment was driven by state governments, which increased their workforces by 22,000 during the month—going from 5,142,000 in August to 5,164,000 in September.

In a chapter devoted to public entertainments, sports and amusements, Alexander Andrews, author of The Eighteenth Century or Illustrations of the Manners and Customs of Our Grandfathers, documents how the Merry Wives of Windsor, a crew comprised of “six old women belonging to Windsor town” took out an ad seeking “any six old women in the universe to outscold them.”

All around you is the bustling city of streetcars and grand emporiums, including Arnold Constable & Company’s magnificent store on the southwest corner, part of the Ladies Mile shopping district.

On the northeast corner (above photo), however, is something of a throwback to a rural, undeveloped New York.

At the time, this was the site of a stately, restrained brownstone shielded by a cast iron fence and with a substantial backyard garden where peacocks, storks, guinea fowl, and even a cow roamed the premises.

This 1830 mansion, called a “curiosity shop” by one publication, was the longtime home of Peter Goelet, a wealthy heir and one of Gilded Age New York’s best known oddballs.

“An eccentric man gone,” read the headline of


the New York Times on November 22, 1879, one day after the lifelong bachelor’s death at the age of 80.

Everyone in New York at the time knew of the Goelet family. Peter Goelet was a descendant of François Goellete, a Huguenot refugee who arrived in New York in 1686, according to a McClure’s magazine article in 1912.

His son Peter became a wealthy ironmonger and owner of a hardware concern on Hanover Square. Peter’s sons married into a landowning family that in the early 19th century held a swath of Manhattan from roughly Union Square to Grand Central Terminal.

This land was all beyond the city limits at the time, and neither Union Square nor Grand Central Terminal even existed. But as the 18th century went on and Manhattan movednorthward, this land, much of it centered on Broadway, would make the Goelets extremely rich.

The Peter Goelet living on Broadway and 19th Street, aka “Peter the Hermit,” helped manage the family real estate holdings. While passersby were charmed by his livestock—in particular the one lone cow on the property, which Peter kept for fresh milk and even milked the cow himself—the man was very much a mystery.

On one hand, he was notoriously thrifty, “noted for his economy” as the Times put it. He saved scrap paper to use as rent receipts and stood by his rule of “never parting with a foot of land.”

He was not a people person. “His usual expression was of complete abstraction, bordering, at times, upon melancholy,” the Times continued. “It is said of


cranes, and Indian pheasants—his backyard, indeed, would have served as a modern stage-setting for Chantecler.”

The Times‘ obituary pointed out that though he was eccentric, he wasn’t mean; he took care of the families of soldiers from a New York regiment who died in the Civil War. Goelet was also a blacksmith who spent hours in his basement forge.

After Peter’s death and his burial in the family vault at St. Mark’s Church on East 10th Street, Hannah Gerry continued to live in the house. Gradually, the birds and the cow disappeared.

Gerry died in 1895, and the house was torn down in 1897. It was replaced by a tall commercial building that blended right into this corridor of commerce—Goelet and his mansion menagerie mostly forgotten.

actions were done in retaliation for her exercise of her constitutional rights to petition the government and to speak and associate freely.
On February 21, 1989, two of the defendants, Ken Nichols and Roy H. Weaver, Jr., filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that as members of the Andalusia city council they are entitled to absolute legislative immunity. In a brief order dated March 15, 1989, the court denied the motion, with a statement that a memorandum opinion would follow shortly. This is the promised memorandum opinion.

I.
Ms. Bryant's dispute with defendants goes back at least to late 1985, when she was demoted after returning to work following an illness. She challenged this action in federal court, suing certain of the officers of Andalusia, including some or all ofthe defendants in the suit now before this court. That suit reached settlement. Shortly after this settlement, Chalmers Bryant, the mayor of Andalusia and Ms. Bryant's brother-in-law, upgraded her employment position and increased her salary.
Subsequently, however, the city transferred Ms. Bryant to a less desirable position, with an accompanying pay cut. Ms. Bryant asserts that the defendants caused her to be transferred in retaliation for her filing her prior lawsuit. She contends that, through the "cooperative efforts" of Nichols, Weaver, and two other individuals, a letter was drafted recommending that she be transferred and effectively demoted. This letter, she claims was then delivered to Mayor Bryant who was in the hospital. In this letter, which was addressed to the city council, Mayor Bryant alerted the council to his


deteriorating health condition, and stated:
[R]ealizing that administrative matters directly affecting the operation of City government must be dealt with expeditiously, I hereby agree to the following: 1. That Mrs. Polly Bryant be transferred to the Street and Sanitation Department as a Secretary at a pay scale applicable for that job classification. This action is recommended because the settlement in Mrs. Bryant's lawsuit against the City did not find the City had wrongfully transferred, demoted or changed her rate of pay....
This letter was presented to the city council during their meeting that night. According to the minutes of that meeting, the council took up the issue of Ms. Bryant's transfer and demotion shortly after granting the mayor a medical leave of absence with pay. As described in the minutes,the council only showed support for the mayor's inclination and did not purport to make personnel decisions on its authority. Councilmember Edgar King then asked both Weaver and the city clerk if any changes in Ms. Bryant's employment status had been executed, to which both replied that no changes had been made.
A few days later, Mayor Bryant signed a personnel action form effecting this change in Ms. Bryant's status; Weaver, as mayor pro tem, was a cosigner to the personnel action form.

II.
In their motion for summary judgment, Nichols and Weaver argue that they engaged in only legislative activity in the circumstances surrounding Ms. Bryant's transfer and demotion. As members of the Andalusia city council who voted on the recommendation to change Bryant's employment status, they maintain that they


of appeals viewed a veto as an essential part of the process by which the ordinance was passed:
The mayor's veto, like the veto of the President or a state governor, is undeniably a part of the legislative process. It differs only in that it takes place on the local level. When the mayor exercises his veto power, it constitutes the policy-making decision of an individual elected official. It is as much an exercise of legislative decision-making as is the vote of Congress, a state legislator, or a city councilman.

COSTLIEST CITIES RANGE FROM AFRICA TO CHINA

Mercer’s 2014 Cost of Living Survey finds that no single region dominates when it comes to expatriate living expenses, with cities in Africa, Asia, and Europe in the top 10. (See Figure 1.) Despite their relative wealth, cities in the Americas and the Middle East are not represented among the most expensive cities surveyed.

COMPARING COSTS BY COUNTRY

The cost of everyday items — such as milk and blue jeans — reflects the vast differences in cost of living for expatriate workers around the world, and not always in ways that might be expected. For instance, the cost of a pair of blue jeans is more than twice as high in Buenos Aires compared with New York City. (See Figure 2.) Meanwhile, theOxidized adrenodoxin acts as a competitive inhibitor of cytochrome P450scc in mitochondria from the human placenta.
The conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone by cytochrome P450scc is the rate-determining step in placental progesterone synthesis. The limiting component for placental cytochrome P450scc activity is the concentration of adrenodoxin reductase in the mitochondria, where it permits cytochrome P450scc to work at only 16% of maximum velocity. Adrenodoxin reductase serves to reduce adrenodoxin as part of the electron transfer from NADPH to cytochrome P450scc. We therefore measured the proportion of adrenodoxin in the reduced form in intact mitochondria from the human placenta during active pregnenolone synthesis, using EPR. We found that the adrenodoxin pool was only 30% reduced, indicating that the adrenodoxin reductase concentration was insufficient to maintain the adrenodoxin in the fully


President Donald Trump tweeted Friday that he authorized a doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey amid a growing diplomatic dispute between the two countries that is causing a currency crisis for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!" Trump wrote.

Losses in the Turkish lira deepened on Trump's tweet, falling as much as 20 percent versus the U.S. dollar in Friday trading.

The White House later issued the following statement regarding President Trump's tweet:

"As he stated, the President has authorized the preparationcertainly unusual. ... You've got two very strong-willed, stubborn leaders and neither seems like they're going to back down."

The increase in the metal levies also follows Trump's decision earlier this year to impose tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent for imported aluminum in an effort to protect American business.

"People have no idea how badly our country has been treated by other countries. By people representing us who didn't have a clue," Trump said in March, arguing that trade trends "destroyed" American steel and aluminum industries.

STRUGGLE: Jamie Jackson was arrested at the Sydney Mardi Gras after an altercation with police.

A new video emerges of a Sydney Mardi Gras reveller who cried foul over his treatment at the hands of police - only this time he is shown kicking at officers.

It comes as more than 2000 people prepare to march through Surry Hills tonight to protest against what they said was an excessive use of force by police arresting 18-year-old Jamie Jackson about 10pm last Saturday.

Previous footage of Jackson's brush with the law had captured the moments after the arrest when a police officer threw him heavily to the ground in handcuffs, sparking allegations of police brutality.

The teenager claimed he was arrested for assault after innocently tickling a fellow reveller after the Mardi Grasparade, and claims the police reaction was over the top.

However, new footage of the moments before he was thrown to the ground, captured by an English television producer and shown on Channel Nine on Thursday night, showed that he was involved in a prolonged struggle with police as they tried to arrest him.

As he was held to the ground, Jackson repeatedly attempted to kick one of the officers in the face, while an onlooker yelled: "You'll make it worse for yourself. Stop!"

The new footage emerged as police said organisers of tonight's march had not sought formal approval from police to conduct a "lawful protest".

More than 2000 people have indicated on Facebook that they will gather in Taylor Square in Darlinghurst at 6pm and march along Oxford and Pelican


streets to the Sydney Police Centre on Goulburn Street.

They are also protesting about the alleged treatment of gay activist Bryn Hutchinson, who said up to five officers held him down and kicked him after he ignored their instructions not to cross a road on Mardi Gras night.

The protesters were calling for an independent inquiry into the incidents, and said their march would be peaceful.

"Urgent action is needed. We are peaceful protesters objecting to police violence," the organisers said on the event's Facebook page.

Superintendent Tony Crandell, the Surry Hills local area commander, said police had strong and trusting relationships with prominent members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual and intersex (GLBTI) community. However, the protest organisers had been reluctant to meet with police, he said.

"We have approached protest organisersThe faces behind famous voices – Tom Kenny, another veteran voice actor, hit the big time in 1999 with the role of "SpongeBob Squarepants," which remains one of the most popular cable series of all time. The Nickelodeon cartoon is still going strong.

Frank Welker's name may not immediately ring a bell to you, but you almost certainly know his voice. He's acted in nearly 700 films and television shows.

From Fred in "Scooby Doo" to Ray in "The Real Ghostbusters" to the most recent "Garfield" -- if it's an animated show, there's a very good chance you'll hear Welker's work (he also specializes in animals, like "Aladdin's" Abu).

He can currently be heard reprising his memorable role as the evil Megatron on "Transformers Prime," with his old friend, Peter Cullen, who plays one of the most noble characters ever created, Optimus Prime. Cullen was also a mainstay of 1980s animation, in roles such as Venger in "Dungeons & Dragons."

Welker and Cullen make their living as voice actors andrecognizing they don't have to hire a big name actor. People don't know the difference in most cases. They're finding they can take a chance with talent and accomplish the same thing."

Welker also noted that the Internet has made a big difference, and made it easier for fans to follow particular voice actors.

"In the old days doing the show, we never got one piece of fan mail," he said. "We had no idea there was an audience out there. The only way to tell there was some interest was if we got picked up for another season -- oh, somebody liked us."

For the first time, astronomers have snapped photos of auroras lighting up Uranus's icy atmosphere.

"The last time we had any definite signals of auroral activity on Uranus was when NASA's Voyager 2 probe swung by in 1986," said study leader Laurent Lamy, an astronomer at the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France.

"But this is the first time we can actually see these emissions light up with an Earth-based telescope."

Uranus Auroras Seen in Stroke of Luck

Auroras are light displays often seen at the highest latitudes of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn—all of which all have magnetospheres that act as shields against incoming solar storms. (See "Photos: Multicolored Auroras Sparked by Double Sun Blast.")

Auroras tend to surround a planet's poles, where magnetic field lines converge and funnel incoming charged solar particlesinto the planet's atmosphere. There, the particles collide with air molecules, making the molecules glow.

Scientists tried unsuccessfully to detect auroras on Uranus in 1998 and 2005. In September 2011, Lamy and his team learned of an impending solar storm directed toward Uranus, which sits about 2.5 billion miles (4 billion kilometers) from Earth.

The team timed their Hubble observations specifically to coincide with the solar storm, and about six weeks later, Hubble spotted the auroras flaring up in Uranus's upper atmosphere. (Related: "Solar Flare: What If Biggest Known Sun Storm Hit Today?")

"We definitely had luck on our side to catch these faint flashes," Lamy said.

Oddball Planet May Influence Auroras

The auroras' unusual appearance might have something to do with the planet's oddball orientation.

In February 2011, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) released a memo called “Myth-Busting: Addressing Misconceptions to Improve Communication with Industry During the Acquisition Process.”

They recognized that agencies were hesitating to meet with vendors out of fear of protests or because they just didn’t have effective strategies to manage these communications. Vendors, on the other hand, had fears of their own, such as inadvertently creating a conflict of interest that would keep them from competing on future requirements.

They held a series of sessions with representatives from all aspects of the acquisition process to get a better sense of everything that was getting in the way of clear communication between the federal agencies and their prospective vendors. Out of those talks, they pulled together the


A New York Times editor on Sunday said the paper regrets how much a controversial article about a white nationalist offended readers.

The memo, written by national editor Marc Lacey, was an attempt to address backlash to a piece posted online Saturday. It describes an Ohio man as "the Nazi sympathizer next door."

"We regret the degree to which the piece offended so many readers," Lacey wrote. "We recognize that people can disagree on how best to tell a disagreeable story. What we think is indisputable, though, is the need to shed more light, not less, on the most extreme corners of American life and the people who inhabit them."

He continued: "That's what the story, however imperfectly, tried to do."

The story describes the everyday life of Tony Hovater, a manarticle refers to Hovater as a "bigot" and a "Nazi sympathizer who posted images on Facebook of a Nazi-like America full of happy white people and swastikas everywhere."

Lacey added that editors and the story's author, Times reporter Richard Fausset, "agonized over the tone and content of the article."

Fausset also wrote a 700-word column that described his reporting process. It was published Saturday alongside the original article.

"There is a hole at the heart of my story," he wrote. "Sometimes a soul, and its shape, remain obscure to both writer and reader. I beat myself up about all of this for a while, until I decided that the unfilled hole would have to serve as both feature and defect."

Asked for additional comment, a Times spokesperson directed CNNMoney to Lacey's memo.

Charlie Warzel, a BuzzFeed reporter who writes about online culture, published a response to the Times piece Sunday. He suggested that some corners of the internet might explain Horvater's point of view.

"The Times piece does little to describe the online ecosystem that has helped white nationalists, neo-Nazis and the Alt-Right organize, amplify its message, and thrive in recent years," Warzel wrote. "And, simply put, any attempt to answer what exactly led Hovater to 'gravitate toward the furthest extremes of American political discourse' is incomplete without it."

Overview

Returning home, Yaakov sends angelic messengers to appease his brother Esav. The messengers return, telling Yaakov that Esav is approaching with an army of 400. Yaakov takes the strategic precautions of dividing the camps, praying for assistance, and sending tribute to mollify Esav. That night Yaakov is left alone and wrestles with the Angel of Esav. Yaakov emerges victorious but is left with an injured sinew in his thigh (which is the reason why it is forbidden to eat the sciatic nerve of a kosher animal). The angel tells him that his name in the future will be Yisrael, signifying that he has prevailed against man (Lavan) and the supernatural (the angel). Yaakov and Esav meet and are reconciled, but Yaakov, still fearful of his brother, rejects


Esavs offer that they should dwell together. Shechem, a Caananite prince, abducts and violates Dina, Yaakovs daughter. In return for Dinas hand in marriage, the prince and his father suggest that Yaakov and his family intermarry and enjoy the fruits of Caananite prosperity. Yaakovs sons trick Shechem and his father by feigning agreement; however, they stipulate that all the males of the city must undergo brit mila. Shimon and Levi, two of Dinas brothers, enter the town and execute all the males who were weakened by the circumcision. This action is justified by the citys tacit complicity in the abduction of their sister. G-d commands Yaakov to go to Beit-El and build an altar. His mother Rivkas nurse, Devorah, dies and is buried below Beit-El. G-d appears againto Yaakov, blesses him and changes his name to Yisrael. While traveling, Rachel goes into labor and gives birth to Binyamin, the twelfth of the tribes of Israel. She dies in childbirth and is buried on the Beit Lechem road. Yaakov builds a monument to her. Yitzchak passes away at the age of 180 and is buried by his sons. The Parsha concludes by listing Esavs descendants.

SAPA/trans-sialidase and cruzipain: two antigens from Trypanosoma cruzi contain immunodominant but enzymatically inactive domains.
Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasitic protozoan that causes the American trypanosomiasis, or Chagas disease, contains a number of antigenic molecules, some of which have tandems of amino acid repeats. One of these molecules, SAPA (shed acute phase antigen), contains a so-far unique trans-sialidase activity that is essential for penetration of the parasite into mammalian cells. The enzyme consists of two different domains, one presumably enzymatic, which contains four copies of an amino acid motif conserved in bacterial neuraminidases, and the other highly antigenic, consisting of the repeats. Another enzyme that seems to be involved in the host-parasite relationship, the cysteine proteinase cruzipain, is also made up in its mature form of a catalytic domain with highother North Texas iPhoneographers.

The Fort Worth Modern is a stunning building, designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, and is a work of art in itself. The design of the building lends itself to photography, with clean lines, open galleries, and foundation to roof windows which open to various views of the city, landscaping, and sky. Shooting the building alone from the inside yields exciting possibilities of a convergence of light, shadow, lines, art, and architecture.

For those of you unfamiliar with The Modern, the Permanent Collection includes more than 3,000 works including pieces by Pablo Picasso, Robert Motherwell, Susan Rothenberg, Jackson Pollock, Richard Serra, Andres Serrano, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and many others. It’s one of several world-class museums and collections in my little city.

This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the winter-semester 2008/9 in the Urological Department at the Freiburg University Medical Center in Freiburg, Germany. It is reported in accordance with the CONSORT 2010 statement \[[@B30]\]. The study population consisted of medical students in their third year of education at the Freiburg University Medical Center, who participated in the urological curriculum.

The urological curriculum is composed of weekly lecture during the semester and a one-week practical training, in which the students rotate in small groups of 3-6 students through thewhere allocated alternately every other week either to the control or to the intervention arm of the study to equally distribute the effects of accumulating knowledge acquired during the progress of the lecture. 63 students were allocated to the control group (script) and 82 students to the intervention group (GbEl). Finally, 57 students of the control group and 69 students of the intervention group conducted the training they were randomized for: 6 students in the control group did not use the script and 13 students in the intervention group did not play the game. Of the latter, one student was lost to follow up, due to missing data in the questionnaire. The number of individuals in the control and intervention arms in the phases of the trial is


and working on a phase contrast microscope. In the following section, the script describes bacteria, fungi, crystals, and corpuscular components of the urine like leucocytes, erythrocytes, and epithelial cells. Finally, the script explains diseases in which the microscopical findings are important for general practitioners as well as for urologists: cystinuria, bacterial urinary tract infection, asymptomatic bacteriuria, hematuria, sterile leukocyturia, and urolithic crystalluria.

For the intervention group, two PCs installed with the game described below were provided. No further written material was provided for the GbEl group. The learning objectives were identical for both groups.

The interventional electronic adventure game, Uro-Island, had been developed in the Department of Urology of the University Medical Center Freiburg in cooperation with the Institute of Medical Informatics and Medical Biometry, University of Freiburg in Freiburg,Germany, and was performed with the informed consent of the participants.

Before the training, students were orally informed about the nature of the study in which a new instructional method was investigated *to the benefit of the students* prior to its routine deployment. They were further informed that their participation was entirely voluntary, and that the topic used in the intervention of the study (urinalysis) was not part of the written examination after the training in that semester, so that a participation or non-participation would have no consequences on their grades. Students were further informed that they could use the other type of training they had not used in their training week directly after the study.

The assessment in the end of the training week was anonymous. With the participation

 No. 6 (July 2011that the existence of these cables constitutes newly discovered evidence which supports his position regarding his custodial interrogation by United States Customs agents and by Scotland Yard investigators.  Martindale contended at trial and on direct appeal that he was placed in custody from the time that he was arrested in London, England and remained in custody up through his release by Customs officials following a 100% search and interrogation of him upon his arrival in the United States.  As a result of this custodial interrogation he contends that certain statements that he gave should have been suppressed.

3
The significance of the newly discovered Department of State cable communications, in Martindale's view, is that the cables reveal that there was an exchange of information between the Department of


State and British authorities while Martindale was in custody in Great Britain.  He argues, therefore, that this exchange of information is evidence that the Scotland Yard investigators were working as agents for the United States;  and, had he been made aware of the recently discovered United States--Britain communications, he would have used them to attack the credibility of the British investigators at the suppression hearing in the trial court.  Hopefully, such an attack may have lead to the exclusion of Martindale's statements at his trial and, as a result, to a different verdict.

Martindale also contends that the communications cables establish that he was in custody at the time that he was interrogated by the Customs agent upon arriving in the United States.  Because thewere made.  The court noted that the issue regarding the Customs interrogation, and the various factors surrounding it, had been dealt with at length and resolved against Martindale at the pretrial suppression hearing.

14
Regarding the two interrogations in England conducted by Scotland Yard investigators, the district court found that the State Department involvement was known to Martindale from the outset, and was known to Martindale's attorneys at the time of his trial.  The evidence, therefore, did not qualify as newly discovered evidence.  Alternatively, even assuming that the cable communications did qualify as newly discovered evidence, the cables did not show an American participation in the two interrogations to such an extent that the interrogations could be said to be carried out by American agents.  Miranda


the violations of British law which were called into question when he brought weapons into Great Britain.  That he inculpated himself insofar as possible violations of the laws of the United States in the process of answering questions to Scotland Yard and people in Great Britain does not turn it into an American interrogation;  and if they in the process of that interrogation for their own account discovered matters that would be inculpatory to hi[m], insofar as the violations of laws of the United States, there is nothing to prevent the British from turning that information over to the Americans.

We agree.  Our independent review of this claim leads us to conclude that, had the cable communications been available to Martindale for use during his trial,Professional video and audio systems integration firm Advanced Broadcast Solutions (ABS) recently restructured the in-house video production control room at JELD-WEN Field in Portland, OR, for the Portland Timbers Major League Soccer (MLS) team. The two-day project was completed in time for the team’s season opener against the Philadelphia Union on March 12.

The home field for the Timbers soccer and Portland State University Vikings football, JELD-WEN Field is an outdoor stadium that opened in 1926 and seats about 20,400. Over the years, the facility has had several major renovations. Part of the 2010-2011 renovation included the installation of a 37ft x 20ft HD video board at the south end of the stadium and an upgrade of the control room, which is housed in a small, two-level portion of


the press box.

To improve their game day workflow (and add fiber connectivity for stadium cameras, which had not been done in 2011), the Timbers hired ABS. Rather than start from scratch or install all new systems, ABS kept costs down by re-engineering the existing workspace.

The control room redesign included a variety of updates, including moving the audio operator (and a compact mixer) into the lower part of the control room. Positioned between the PA announcer and scoreboard operator, the audio operator now serves a producer role during games as well. Meanwhile, the video content workstations — including technical director, graphics generator/LED operator and replay operator — were re-clustered together on the second level.

ABS also provided new fiber connectivity to the control room, which upgraded the camera locations aroundReceive the latest capital-games updates in your inbox

That "perfect cloning" directly separates him from most biological species as, without special intervention (transporter accident or mimetic simbiot), duplicating the original entity is not possible.
Also, unlike Data, since the Doctor's personality is purely implemented in software it is possible to "decompile" him and examine the "logic" behind his behavior.  We see Dr. Zimmerman doing some of this in "Life Line" s6e24 as well as Seven of Nine extracting portions of the Doctor's personality (his aesthetics) to make him small enough for transmission.

Chinese block aid to families of 1989 victims killed by troops

Money from U.S. donors seized

extortion alleged

February 09, 2000|By NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

BEIJING -- Calling such aid a threat to national security, the police have blocked a messenger from delivering $25,000 in foreign donations to help the families of people killed in the crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen student democracy movement.

The messenger, Lu Wenhe, a Chinese citizen who has lived in the United States for 20 years, was detained in Beijing in late December while on his way to meet Ding Zilin, whose 17-year-old son was shot dead by soldiers in 1989. After three days of questioning in which his passport was confiscated and he was threatened with prison, Lu disclosed the purpose of his visit.

He was takenunder police escort to Shanghai, where he has relatives, and told that he could leave the country on the unusual condition that he sign over the donations, which were in an account in the United States, to an officer of the Shanghai State Security Bureau, Lu said in an interview this week.

Under duress, he wrote checks for the entire amount to the officer, Chen Jian. But because the police suspected that he might have the payment stopped after he had left the country, they pressured his 78-year-old father in Shanghai into agreeing to guarantee the payment. Lu returned to the United States Jan. 8.

Donors in the United States did block payment on the check. And now the authorities are pressuring Lu's parents, who were not politically involved, to

Professor
Child's "British Ballads," No. 78. He gives various forms of it. The
idea on which it is based is that if a woman has plighted her oath
to a man, she is still bound to him, after he is dead, and that he
can claim her to follow him into the world of spirits, unless she can
redeem herself by solving riddles he sets her. See further on this
topic under "The Lover's Tasks," No. 48. Verses 8 and 10 are not in
the original ballad. I have supplied them to reduce the length and
give a conclusion.

7. THE SPRIG OF THYME. Taken down from James Parsons. After the
second verse he broke away into "The Seeds of Love." Joseph Dyer, of
Mawgan in Pyder, sang the same ballad or song to the same tune, and
in whatis in D'Urfey's
"Pills to Purge Melancholy," 1720, vi. p. 100, in 14 verses, with a
different conclusion. Broadside versions by Disley and Such. Also
in "The Broom Man's Garland," in "LXXXII. Old Ballads" collected by
J. Bell, B.M. (11,621, c 2). Bell was librarian to the Society of
Antiquaries, Newcastle-on-Tyne, 1810-20. Mr. Kidson has obtained a
version in North Yorkshire. Another is in "English County Songs," p.
88. In "Gammer Gurton's Garland," _circ._ 1783, are three verses.

11. AS JOHNNY WALKED OUT. Words and melody from James Parsons. The
original words are in six stanzas, and these I have compressed. The
words with some verbal differences as "set by Mr. Dunn" are in "Six
English Songs and Dialogues, as they are performed in the Public
Gardens," N.D., but about 1750. Then in _The London Magazine_, 1754;
in "Apollo's Cabinet," Liverpool,


  "Begone, begone, my Willy, you silly,
       Begone, my Fool and my Dear.
             O the Devil's in the man,
             And he cannot understan',
         That to-night he cannot have a lodging here."

This is almost certainly the original framework to which these
snatches of song belong. But there was another version of the story
in a ballad entitled "The Secret Lover, or the Jealous Father
beguil'd, to a West Country tune, or Alack! for my love and I must
dye," printed by P. Brooksby, between 1672 and 1682, given by Mr.
Ebsworth in the "Roxburgh Ballads,"Ramsay. It may have been so adapted
for political purposes, as a libel on Lady Cassilis, who was the
mother of Bishop Burnet's wife. An Irish form of the ballad in the
British Museum (1162, k 6). For a full account of the "Johnny Faa"
ballad, see Child's "English and Scottish Ballads," No. 200. He is of
opinion that the English ballad is taken from the Scottish. I think
the reverse is the case. Parsons sang right through without division
of parts. I have made the division, so as to allow of the use of both
airs; but actually the second is a modern corruption of the first,
and is interesting as showing how completely a melody may undergo
transformation. Mr. Sharp has given a Somersetshire version of the
ballad in his "Folk Songs from Somerset," No. 9.

  They never eat mustard in all their life;
     They eat their meat without fork or knife,
         And loved to be picking a bone, e-no!"

In a collection of songs in the British Museum is the ballad on a
Broadside by Harkness of Birmingham. It begins--

     "The fox went out of a moon-shiny night,
     When the moon and the stars they shined so bright;
     I hope, said the Fox, we'll have a good night,
             When we go to yonder town, O!
            given in Halliwell's "Nursery Rhymes
of England," 290. It is probably a very old ballad, for in a ballad,
"Choice of Inventions," printed by F. Coles, 1646-74, in the Roxburgh
Collection (ed. Chappell, i. p. 105), is given a pot-pourri of
scraps, "several sorts of the figure three," and it begins--
