however, he returned to the pool table and asked Rios the same question. This time Rios told defendant to keep away or he would hit defendant with a cue stick. Later defendant and his companion went outside to their car; Rios followed them, told defendant he "had been nasty," and hit him on the mouth.
 Defendant then drove off but returned to the bar approximately an hour and a half later. He entered holding a gun. Rios picked up a bar stool and held it in front of him. Defendant, standing about 14 feet from Rios, said "I kill you" and fired once at Rios, who sustained a mortal wound. Defendant ejected the shell from the weapon and ran from the bar.
 Defendant then drove to the homeof his sister and brother-in-law and parked his car in their garage. He asked his brother-in-law to drive him home, stating that he had been in a fight and was too drunk to drive.
 A deputy sheriff went to defendant's home that evening. Defendant, whose hair had been long at the time of the homicide, was being given a haircut. The deputy asked defendant for his name and address; defendant stated that he was Lupe Castillo and gave a false address. The deputy arrested him.
 During interrogation by officers early the next morning defendant stated that he had received his facial injuries in a fall at his home. He denied going to the bar and stated that he did not own a shotgun. He also said he did


not know the location of his car.  [fn. 1] In the ground surrounding defendant's brother-in-law's garage the officers discovered two recently buried shotgun shells, which had been fired from the same weapon as the shell recovered in the bar.
 Defendant introduced expert testimony of two witnesses which tended to show that because of diminished capacity he was unable to premeditate and deliberate or to commit the homicide with malice. Dr. Lawrence, a psychologist, testified that he had examined defendant on two occasions for about an hour and a half each time. He administered several tests to defendant including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, the Rorschach Diagnostic Test, the Diagnostic Drawing Tests, and the Thematic Apperception Test. He concluded from the *268 results of the tests and froman electrical disturbance in the temporal lobe of the brain. Dr. Minard stated that on the basis of the facts of the homicide and his examination of defendant he believed that defendant had been unable to deliberate, premeditate, and reflect upon the gravity of the act meaningfully, and to harbor malice aforethought. Although stating that defendant's actions on the day of the homicide gave the impression that defendant was acting as a deliberating and reflecting man, Dr. Minard stated that his observation of defendant and study of his history indicated that defendant was suffering from a psychomotor seizure during the commission of the homicide and that no person so afflicted could premeditate or deliberate.  [fn. 3]
 Defendant primarily contends that the trial court committed error in instructing

As the National Rifle Association (NRA) prepares to kick off its annual convention in Atlanta later this week, a new national survey of gun owners finds overwhelming opposition to the dangerous policies and positions supported by the Washington gun lobby. The poll, released today by Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC, also finds that a many gun owners believe that the NRA has become increasingly out of touch with them on important gun safety issues and shows that a majority of gun owners believe the NRA has lost its way, straying from its original purpose and mission. (…) The poll illustrates a disconnect between the views of gun owners and the priorities being pushed by the


gun industry and the leaders and lobbyists of the pro gun movement. As long as this is the case, we can expect to see shootings continue unabated.

Saskatchewan has been called out for falling short in several areas when it comes to fighting climate change.

That's according to a cross-country report from the Office of the Auditor General of Canada on government response to climate change, which was released Tuesday and prepared jointly by federal Environment Commissioner Julie Gelfand and auditors general from nine provinces.

The general consensus of the report is that there is no consistent method between provinces to measure and report on greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it difficult for Canada to report on its pledge to reduce emissions by at least 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

Deficiencies in strategy

Of the 12 provinces and territories that were part of the report, seven — including Saskatchewan — did not have a target forHe said target details will be released in the coming months.

"Saskatchewan is a pretty small piece of the global pie and climate will continue so we need to be resilient to those changes," he said. "The plan by the province of Saskatchewan goes so much further than where the federal government is at on this."

At the time of the report, the province's Ministry of Environment also had not completed an assessment related to climate change risks, as it was in the process of gathering information from other government agencies.

The report did acknowledge, though, that Saskatchewan was developing policies related to cutting emissions "using the direction set in the government's October 2016 Climate Change White Paper."

Provincial auditor Judy Ferguson said the province is in a better position since releasing

(CNN) -- Rupert Murdoch's plan to put News Corporation websites behind a pay wall is "going to be like putting toothpaste back in the tube."

Murdoch said the existing Internet business model was "malfunctioning."

That's according to Jack Matthews, chief executive officer at Fairfax Digital Media, the online arm of one of the News Corp.'s biggest rivals in Australia.

"I don't know of too many industries where something has been given away for free for 10 or 15 years, and then suddenly charged for it," said Matthews, whose company publications include the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Murdoch believes the days of freeloading through the Internet are coming to an end. In a conference call to analysts early this month, he announced that within a year he wanted the company's titlesCHICAGO  The Miami Dolphins still look out for their own. It wasn't quite the drama of Dan Marino tossing easy touchdowns against the '85 Bears on Monday Night Football, but once again, Miami pulled off an upset to spoil Chicago's bid for an undefeated season.

Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor had dinner Saturday night with Brian Urlacher, his all-pro counterpart from the Chicago Bears.

Did Urlacher pay? "Absolutely," Taylor said with a huge grin. "It's his town."

The Bears linebacker paid in another way Sunday, as Taylor and his Dolphins teammates took temporary ownership of Soldier Field, ending Chicago's 10-game regular-season home winning streak over two seasons and handing the NFC North Division leaders their first loss of the year with a convincing 31-13 victory.

Taylor, a friend of Urlacher's,


was the catalyst for the 2-6 Dolphins' stunning upset, returning an interception for a touchdown in the second quarter and forcing a fumble by quarterback Rex Grossman, who was harassed by the Miami pass rush all game.

The Dolphins forced six Chicago turnovers, leading to 28 of their 31 points.

"We had a lot of things that went wrong," Bears coach Lovie Smith said.

Rough day for Grossman

Grossman suffered his second poor game in his last three outings, completing 18 of 42 passes for 210 yards and one TD with three interceptions and three sacks, including the lost fumble. He had a six-turnover performance vs. Arizona Oct. 16, but the Bears' defense and special teams pulled the game out.

In the second half Sunday, with the Miami pass rush at full throttle,he was 11-for-27 for 91 yards with two interceptions, frequently throwing off balance.

"We definitely were in his face and he was having to get rid of the ball quickly," Miami linebacker Zach Thomas said.

"There were a couple of times where it was just a bad throw, and then other ones where there was miscommunication (with receivers) a little bit," said Grossman, making his 15th career regular-season start.

The Bears won their first four home games this year by an average of 30.7 points, behind a defense and special teams that entered the day tied for the NFL lead in takeaways. The Chicago defense, No. 1 in the league, intercepted Miami quarterback Joey Harrington twice, leading to 10 points.

But running back Ronnie Brown gained a career-high 157 yards on 29


carries, the most any back has gained against the Bears this year, to help keep Miami out of third-and-long situations most of the day.

"We watched games and saw some teams had success running the football against them," Brown said.

"We were not going to let their defense get the momentum," Harrington said of the Dolphins' game plan on offense. "The games that Chicago has blown wide-open are games in which the other team has allowed the defense to make big plays. ... We were going to force their offense to have to drive the length of the field to beat us."

Tale of two cities

The talk coming into the game was about two cities linked by history and opposite starts to this season.

The 7-0 Bears tried to ignore the growingcomparisons with the 1985 Super Bowl championship team, which won its first 12 games.

The Dolphins, who had a bye last Sunday, listened to two weeks of intense criticism for their 1-6 start, including some from members of the 1972 Miami team that recorded the only perfect season in modern NFL history. Former guard Bob Kuechenberg told the Chicago Tribune these Dolphins "do not have a soul" and a victory at Soldier Field was "not even remotely possible."

After Sunday, the Bears still have one thing in common with the 1985 team: their unbeaten streak was stopped by a Miami club. The Dolphins' 38-24 victory was the only blemish on that Bears team's record.

The current-day Dolphins weren't looking to do any favors for the old-timers, though. They were looking to


possession, Taylor made a leaping interception of a Grossman pass near the line of scrimmage and ran 20 yards for the touchdown.

"Actually, I fell for the fake. I thought it was a run play," Taylor said. "I came back out when I saw Grossman pull the fake. He threw it, and I put my hands up. I think it just happened to land in my hands."

The Bears closed to 14-10 at the half, on a 30-yard Grossman pass to Muhsin Muhammad, but any thought of their taking control in the second half lasted one play.

On the first play from scrimmage of the half, Bears receiver Justin Gage fumbled after a 17-yard gain, and Miami cornerback Andre Goodman returned it 33 yards to the Chicago 12.

Harrington hit Wes Welkerfor a 6-yard TD and 21-10 lead to put the Dolphins in command.

Urlacher left the game in the fourth quarter with a foot injury, the extent of which was not immediately known.

The Bears also lost wide receiver Bernard Berrian, their main deep threat, to a rib injury on their first possession.

ARTHUR SZYK: PICTURES LIKE JEWELS

Medieval artists painted illuminated manuscripts by crushing precious stones such as lapis lazuli or malachite into their pigments and working with gold leaf. The result was radiant little miniature paintings, unsurpassed for color and intensity. In the 20th century, an illustrator named Arthur Szyk (1894-1951)carried on the tradition, creating lovely miniature paintings with exquisite skill.

Szyk painted on a tiny scale, with the precision of a watchmaker. For example, the original of the following portrait of Simon Bolivar is a mere 4.25" x 5.75":

Szyk was born in Poland and gained early fame as an illustrator. He mostly painted scenes from history and from the Bible. A gentle, diminutive, bookish man, he moved to America shortly before the outbreak of World War II.


However, his 70 year old was mother was hauled away by the Nazis and murdered in a concentration camp. Szyk turned all of his talents to fighting fascism with his art. He created biting caricatures and political cartoons of the Nazis in books and magazines of the day. He was so effective that Hitler put a price on Szyk's head.

Szyk was tireless in his efforts against fascism on behalf of freedom, and became a patriotic American citizen in 1948, illuminating the Declaration of Independence and other American icons...

It is especially ironic then that a few years later, at the height of McCarthyism, the House Un-American Activities Committee began investigating Szyk who they suspected of being a member of an organization that they believed served as a "Communist front."luxurious cream satin ribbon, this babydoll is elasticated under the bust to support and flatter your shape.

What has been your favorite moment duringRomelu Lukaku (left) has it tougher than Wayne Rooney did at Manchester United, according to Jose Mourinho

Romelu Lukaku faces a tougher challenge to reach the Manchester United records Wayne Rooney achieved, says manager Jose Mourinho.

United's all-time top goalscorer Rooney will make his first return to Old Trafford since rejoining boyhood club Everton in the summer on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.

Lukaku, 24, went the opposite direction, joining United for a fee which could rise to £90m, but despite scoring six goals in as many appearances, Mourinho explained why his new No 9 will find it hard to match Rooney's 253-goal haul.

"I think Wayne spent probably 10 years of his career in a different Premier League than you have now," said Mourinho.

"I think this Premier League is much more defensive-minded, and much more difficult."

Mourinho believes his side are now demonstrating a killer instinct they lacked last season, having averaged three goals per game so far in the Premier League - an improvement on their 1.42 goal ratio in his first campaign in charge.

"What I did with Marouane is what I do normally with every player," he said. "Like (Phil) Jones, he made a bad mistake for Stoke's second goal. Did I kill him? No. Will he be on the bench on Sunday? No.

to the city, the art gallery is usually a space of gaping absences and focused presences, where the viewer negotiates around an object to experience and ‘read’ what the artist has left for them; but also what the artist has perversely left out. It took two visits to TBG&S to account for this review of Beattie’s work at the gallery. On the first visit no high colour, acute sound, or moving image registered as a starting point, but observing other individuals in the gallery negotiating the objects highlights the fundamental experiential essense of the work from an anthropological perspective.

At one end of the gallery Beattie presents a setup of floor bound objects, which include a UV light, a microphone, a tape recorder, and sheet of corrugated steel tiltedangle that bounces and directs the sound from the speaker into a head height steel shelter, enough space for the viewer to walk into. Standing in the shelter I felt nauseous, as if the sound was held within the shelter. There is something of the farmyard about the shelter and the herding of the viewer to end up in the metal canopied pen.

I wrote of noise and the city earlier, this tangent hints at my personal assumption that you need optimum conditions to receive the frequencies that Beattie is outputting at TBG&S. Although formally fascinating, I can only assume what is happening in the first setup, between the UV light, the microphone, tape recorder and corrugated steel – I presume a similar thread of sound waves that end


off the functional props in the gallery. In this instance, Beattie is acting as the medium, and his message is received loud and clear.

was responsible for the physical destruction of a group in whole or in substantial part specifically because of their race, nationality, religion, or ethnicity. A political or military motivation for a death falls outside the definition. Immediately after the war, when events and memories were fresh, Armenians had no incentive to concoct high casualty figures or genocidal motivations for their deaths. Their objective was statehood. Armenians were encouraged by the self-determination concept in President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, (while conveniently forgetting that they were a minority in Eastern Anatolia where they hoped to found a new nation). Armenian leaders pointed to their military contribution to defeating the Ottomans and population figures that would sustain an Armenian nation. Boghus Nubar, then Head of the Armenian Delegation to the ParisPeace Conference (1919), wrote to the French Foreign Minister Stephen Pichon: "The Armenians have been, since the beginning of the war, de facto belligerents, as you yourself have acknowledged, since they have fought alongside the Allies on all fronts, enduring heavy sacrifices and great suffering for the sake of their unshakable attachment to the cause of the Entente...." Nubar had earlier written to the Foreign Minister on October 29, 1918, that Armenians had earned their independence: "We have fought for it. We have poured out our blood for it without stint. Our people played a gallant part in the armies that won the victory."

When their quest for statehood shipwrecked on the Treaty of Lausanne and annexation by the Soviet Union in 1921, Armenians revised their soundtrack to endorse


a contrived genocide thesis. It seeks a "pound of flesh" from the Republic of Turkey in the form of recognition, reparations, and boundary changes. To make their case more convincing, Armenians hiked the number of deaths. They also altered their story line from having died as belligerents against the Turks to having perished like unarmed helpless lambs.

Vahan Vardapet, an Armenian cleric, estimated a prewar Ottoman Armenian population of 1.26 million. At the Peace Conference, Armenian leader Nubar stated that 280,000 remained in the Empire and 700,000 had emigrated elsewhere. Accepting those Armenian figures, the number of dead would be 280,000. George Montgomery of the Armenia-American Society estimated a prewar Armenian population of 1.4-1.6 million, and a casualty figure of 500,000 or less. Armenian Van Cardashian, in testimony beforethe Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1919, placed the number of Armenian dead at 750,000, i.e., a prewar population of 1.5 million and a post-war figure of 750,000.

After statehood was lost, Armenians turned to their genocide playbook which exploited Christian bigotries and contempt for Ottoman Muslims. They remembered earlier successful anti-Ottoman propaganda. United States Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during the war, Henry Morganthau, was openly racist and devoted to propaganda. On November 26, 1917, Morgenthau confessed in a letter to President Wilson that he intended to write a book vilifying Turks and Germans to, "win a victory for the war policy of the government." In his biography, "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story," Morgenthau betrays his racist hatred toward Turks ("humanity and civilization never for a moment enters their mind")

For western startups looking to enter Asia and Asian startups expanding globally, more funding has become available as investors are increasingly looking to export local tech solutions to overseas markets.

Globally based venture capital firm White Star Capital has set up a new office in Hong Kong this month to capture entrepreneurs in the budding region as well as help its portfolio companies go to Asia. Founded by Eric Martineau-Fortin, who spent years conducting mergers and acquisitions at Merrill Lynch, and Jean-Francois Marcoux, who sold his gaming startup Ludia to FremantleMedia, White Star has over the last decade backed a spectrum of early-stage companies across several continents.

Currently investing with eight partners spread across seven cities, White Star’s portfolio spans from New York-based healthy meal startup Freshly to rewards appthat are sometimes forgotten by North American and European-based investors, such as Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taipei. Those are also very advanced regions with great schools, great engineers having certainly easy access to capital but not always the ability to connect and sell their product, services and technologies to other places than the U.S. West Coast,” said Martineau-Fortin in a phone interview with TechCrunch.

Upon that realization, White Star started to build connections with big corporations and investors in Japan and South Korea, which in 2018 led to opening its first Asian location in Tokyo, headed by former World Economic Forum executive Shun Nagao.

The proven record in Japan eventually inspired the investment firm to launch in Hong Kong, adding to a list of offices in New York, London, Paris,

"Well, these are serious allegations. I think they need to be looked into seriously," the Texas senator responded.

The Trump administration has failed to provide any evidence that Obama conducted surveillance on his campaign. Since Trump made the accusation, reports have come out indicating that the president learned of Obama's wiretapping from a right-wing radio host's baseless tirade. Still, Cruz and other Republican leaders have given credence to Trump's allegations.

Banking Giant Joins Enterprise Ethereum Alliance

November 8, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

With more than $685 billion of assets, the British multinational banking corporation Standard Chartered has joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA), which is promoting the blockchain of the second largest cryptocurrency in corporate applications.

The bank said that joining the EEA will allow them to establish cooperation with other interested players on the development of blockchain capabilities in the banking industry. Other EEA members include banking and financial firms such as JPMorgan, ING, Citi, and BBVA.

Standard Chartered notes that it considers blockchain technology of paramount importance for banking and trading in the digital age, as it allows you to verify, protect and process transactions in real-time.

Standard Chartered is an investor in the American fintech company Ripple,and also takes part in a number of other blockchain initiatives, including the Voltron trading platform and a joint digital currency project with the central banks of Thailand and Singapore.

Earlier it became known about the cooperation of Standard Chartered with Siemens in the framework of a pilot project to use the blockchain to issue bank guarantees in the field of international payments for trading operations.

The United States has been on the frontier for at least a century and our economic growth is primarily powered by our ability to innovate.

Innovation itself is often described as an output of a country – e.g. the United States "leads the world in innovation" – but this language obscures where innovation actually takes place. It happens locally; individuals, not countries, innovate. Engineers and scientists working for companies, laboratories and universities and people tinkering in their garage, shed or basement are the real drivers of innovation, and most of this innovation occurs in cities.

As economists Curtis Simon and Clark Nardinelli note in their study of the growth of English cities in the 19th and 20th centuries: "The creativity of the market economy – the increasing returns so important in modern growth theory – in large part arises from what happens when people with information get together and talk. The talk is necessary to turn information into productive knowledge."

Since spreading ideas and information requires communication – people talking to one another, attending lectures and presentations, watching videos, etc. – it's likely that limiting speech, either formally or informally, would have pernicious effects on innovation and harm economic growth in the United States.

Bibi Netanyahu’s recent comments about the nature of the Israeli state have exposed both him and the nation as a joint Kahanist enterprise. Until now, Netanyahu played it coy. He was like the old Enlightenment saying: be a Jew at home and a human being in public. With the Israeli public, he spoke candidly and betrayed the racism inherent in his world-view. But abroad, he would talk-the-talk: two states, we’re ready for peace…blah, blah, blah. It was all a sham. One which enabled him to sit in pleasant company when he rubbed shoulders with world leaders. But on his arrival home, he dispensed with the niceties and became the tough-talking, street-fighting bully, (“King Bibi,” as he was known) he knew his electorate craved.

American presidents, both Republican andDemocrat, served as a restraint against Netanyahu’s worst impulses. He knew that not only did U.S. Middle East policy endorse a two-state solution, the presidents themselves did. He also knew that at least formally, U.S. policy viewed settlements as an impediment to peace. So he built those settlements covertly (and not so covertly) with a wink and a nod. He’d tell his American interlocutor he wasn’t building new settlements, but rather “thickening” existing ones. As if this somehow made the ongoing theft of Palestinian land less objectionable.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum…Netanyahu saw the rise of far-right nationalism-populism both in Europe and the U.S. He realized he could dispense with the bromides about wanting peace, and unleash the brass knuckles against the Palestinians,


premier has nothing but scorn.

Thus Netanyahu personally orchestrated the awkward marriage of the last remnants of the National Religious Party, Bayit Yehudi, with the successor to Israeli Kahanism, Otzma Yehudit. He did this because he knew that every vote would count in the coming election. Unless these two far-right religious nationalist parties merged, neither would enter the Knesset and their votes would be lost to him. Now that he’s promised them two seats in the cabinet and an almost guaranteed place on the Likud list, he knows that the settler far-right will be in his camp. In doing this, Netanyahu completely abandoned any remnant of western liberal values which he used to flaunt in his forays to the west.

About High School Study Abroad in England

Studying abroad for a semester in college is popular among students, but many high school kids do not realize that they have many of the same opportunities offered to them right now. Spending a few weeks to a year in England will give pre-college pupils an experience overseas and a fantastic resume-builder. Studying abroad before applying to college is a great way for you to stand out to admissions offices and for future employers to commend your bold and adventurous nature.

country and eating at specific locations. Many of these costs are built into the program, or have reduced fees, and there are not many extra expenses.

Subject-Specific Program: Another type of high school study abroad program is subject-specific. Students can enroll themselves in courses such as literature, writing, business, fine arts, history or math. A program such as one of these would be heavy on the subject of the student's choosing and is great for students who are considering that area as a major in college. Depending on the length of the program, a student could take one or many classes in this subject area. Many of these subject-specific courses can also earn students college credit at their future American university. The student must check with the university theycan vary drastically. There are scholarships and grants through state and national government offices, as well as through study abroad programs, that vary in award money but will assist in paying tuition. Personal items, such as souvenirs, extra meals or excursions not included in the program cost, will have to be factored into the student's budget before leaving for England.

Metz Family History | Find Genealogy Records & Family Crest

Metz Genealogy & History

The Metz surname originated in Lorraine, where the Moselle and Seille rivers meet. That area often switches hands between the Germans and French. The city which shares its name with members of the Metz family was also the site of a three-month battle during WWII. Metz family history notes that the name arrived in America with Andrew, Simon, and Sebastian Metz and their families in 1709. The first confirmed record of the Metz family history was the writings describing the baptism of Angelina de Metz in 1814. Metz genealogy includes Metz Brewery founder and Nebraska Representative Frederick Metz.WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) - The White House on Friday said talks to install a new anti-missile defense system in South Korea would continue in the wake of nuclear arms and missile tests by North Korea despite calls by China and Russia for the United States to back off.

The United States and South Korea have begun talks on possible deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system after North Korea tested its fourth nuclear bomb on Jan. 6 and conducted missile tests.

The nuclear test and missile launches violate U.N. resolutions against North Korea backed by Russia and China. U.S. and South Korean officials have expressed concern the North could attempt a fifth nuclear test in a show of strength ahead of its Workers' Party congress, which begins on


May 6.

North Korea test-fired what appeared to be two intermediate range ballistic missiles on Thursday, but both failed, according to the U.S. military.

On Friday, the White House said it was still in talks with its close ally South Korea and that the system, if installed, would not threaten other countries.

"Those discussions are ongoing," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. "That equipment would be oriented toward the threat that is posed by North Korea, not oriented toward China or Russia."

Speaking at joint press briefing with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi earlier on Friday called on the United States to respect "legitimate concerns" of China and Russia over the missile system.

"This move goes beyond the defensive needs of the relevant countries. If it isthe Korean peninsula.

Earnest gave no timing on when talks with South Korea may concluded but added that "the United States is prepared to invest resources in keeping them safe."

North and South Korea remain technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, rather than a treaty. The North routinely threatens to destroy South Korea and the United States.

Disillusioned Hong Kongers press UK for escape route

WITH Hong Kong increasingly polarised on political reforms and fears growing over the influence of Beijing, frustrated residents are pressing former colonial power Britain to offer them an escape route.

Their push for a new status that would allow them right of abode in Britain reflects their anger over what they see as a lack of support from the UK in their time of need.

It follows more than two months of pro-democracy protests, which failed to win concessions from the government on the way the city’s next leader is elected, and ties in with concerns that civil liberties are being chipped away.

Before Britain gave the city back to China in 1997 it offered Hong Kongers a special “British National Overseas” (BNO) statusabortion and miscarriage together were "associated with the lowest risk, live birth intermediate risk, and ectopic pregnancy and fetal death the highest risk" to a pregnant woman's life.

According to the most recent estimates from the World Health Organization, unsafe abortion, largely in countries where the procedure is illegal for "pro-life" reasons, accounts for 47,000 women's deaths annually. And, of course, there's a reason the coat hanger is iconic in the United States. Before New York state decriminalized abortion in 1970, a quarter of childbirth-related deaths among white women in New York City in the early 1960s were due to abortion. Among women of color, the figure was one in two. A more recent example of the impact of legal abortion services on reducing death comes from Romania, which


banned abortion in 1966. During the two decades that abortion was illegal, abortion-related mortality shot up sevenfold, to 148 deaths per 100,000 live births. In 1989, the ban was lifted; by 2002, the mortality rate was nine deaths per 100,000 births.

None of this will comfort the Reaves family, of course. And no amount of evidence will stop conservatives from using her death for baseless political posturing that ultimately shows a profound contempt for women's actual lives and safety.perk from many, many years of working at many places).

More 30,000 Nigerians are currently awaiting deportation in Germany after their failed bid to gain asylum in the European country.

This was disclosed by Femi Awoniyi, the director of Migration Enlightenment Project Nigeria (MEPN), a campaign group, in Abuja.

While addressing the media, Awoniyi revealed that Nigerians form a great number of the hundreds of illegal migrants from Africa who die in the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert while trying to make dangerous trips abroad.

He said Nigerians have the highest rate of rejection among sub-Saharan asylum applicants in the European Union becuase the European body does not consider Nigeria as a country where there is political persecution.

He said, "This year alone, more than 1,500 migrants have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, many of them Nigerians. This is not evencounting those who have died travelling through the Sahara Desert, or in the transit countries.

"Everybody knows that more than half of Saharan migrants in Africa are Nigerians. We cannot count the number of people who die in the Sahara Desert. Experts say more people die in the Sahara Desert than the Mediterranean.

"For those who are lucky to reach Europe, a difficult struggle to obtain legal residency begins. More than 30,000 Nigerians are currently awaiting deportation in Germany alone.

"Their asylum claims have been rejected since Nigeria is not considered by the European Union as a country where there is political persecution."

Awoniyi said MEPN is committed to raising awareness on the dangers that Nigerians face when they decide to take unsafe routes to migrate to foreign countries where they believe


Iceland doesn't treat cetaceans the way most of the world wants them to be treated. Like Japan and Norway, Iceland has continued to hunt fin and minke whales in defiance of an international moratorium on the practice. It's not a challenge to find a restaurant serving whale meat in the capital city of Reykjavík. With all this in mind, is it really surprising that Iceland's whaling business has recently teamed up with a brewery to produce "whale beer"?

Steðja Brewery

Hvalur, the company managed by "the Icelandic Ahab" Kristján Loftsson, is providing whale meal—a byproduct of processing the animal's meat and oil—to Steðja Brewery to create a limited edition product tied to Iceland's annual mid-winter festival Thorrablot.

Wealthy paedophile Epstein hanged himself in prison last year while awaiting trial for child sex trafficking but his victims are demanding the Duke of York answer questions about what he new.

A new book by a lawyer for one of them, Brad Edwards, has now revealed the extent of Epstein’s abuse, based on his years of investigating the disgraced financier’s sex cult.

Virginia Roberts, 36, who now uses her married name Guiffre, spent three years as a sex


slave of Epstein and claims she was forced to sleep with Prince Andrew on three occasions.

The Prince has strenuously denied the allegation and told the BBC’s Emily Maitlis in an interview last year that he had never met Ms. Roberts.

In his book “Relentless Pursuit”, Edwards claimed Ms Roberts was asked to carry Epstein’s baby with intention of handing the new born child over to him.

The book also reveals:

Andrew may have stayed at Epstein’s New York mansion at the same time as a woman who became the billionaire’s "chief recruiter" of girls

Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were dubbed "Bonnie and Clyde" by victims

Epstein was abusing three girls a day at one point and he would visibly shake with sexual desire

Edwards says of Epstein: “He was an intellectually gifted sociopath withat his property in Palm Beach and had identified 23 underage victims.

Who was Jeffrey Epstein and what was he accused of? Jeffrey Epstein was a US financier who was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution in 2008. He was arrested on July 6, 2019 for sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 on sex trafficking charges. Court documents allege that at least 40 underage girls were brought to Epstein’s mansion for sexual encounters. He was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. FBI agents are also said to have broken down the door to his Manhattan townhouse. He pleaded not guilty to child sex trafficking charges in New York and could have faced 45 years in prison if


found guilty. On July 18, a federal judge said that the disgraced financier presented a "danger to the community" and must stay in one of New York's toughest prisons while he awaited trial over the sex trafficking accusations. The shamed financier was locked up amid fears he would flee the country.

According to the book, Maxwell kept the names of girls who were being abused by Epstein on her computer and the pair where known as “Bonnie and Clyde” by victims.

Maxwell allegedly groomed Epstein’s first underage victim in 1994, when she approached a 13-year-old girl - who was later molested and raped by Epstein - outside a summer camp in the US.

“Epstein had an unquenchable appetite for young girls, and Ghislaine had a knack for finding them,” writes MrRacial inequalities are baked into our political and economic system, and it would be a a terrible mistake for the progressive movement to split into a 'Black lives matter' movement and an 'economic justice' movement.

Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez already was on ICE's radar for announcing earlier this year that she'd defy federal immigration detainers filed at the jail - only under extreme circumstances.

She's at it again this week. The U.S. Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is accusing Hernandez's office of releasing an inmate from the Travis County Jail without notifying them. The inmate, Julio Cesar Mendoza-Caballero, 33, is a violent gang member who had previously been deported four times. He has now been taken back into custody.

Hernandez strongly pushed back at ICE's assertion, insisting that her office did alert ICE - multiple times. She also accused the immigration office of "overreacting" and making political judgments.

Her office weighed in on Tuesday.

“It is unfortunate that once again, ICE has presented inaccurate informationin what appears to be an effort to publicly shame agencies with which it disagrees,” the sheriff’s office said. “Open communication between the Travis County Jail and ICE is a daily, if not hourly occurrence. A simple phone call or email would have clarified their error privately and professionally.”

Mendoza-Caballero's police record can explain perhaps why ICE "overreacted" as they did.

Mendoza-Caballero was convicted of stealing a firearm in Hopkins County in 2008, and of illegally entering the United States in Arizona, ICE said, adding that he had been removed four times before, with the latest removal in 2013.

According to Travis County Jail records, Mendoza-Caballero was booked into the facility in June on a misdemeanor charge of assault causing bodily injury and a city ordinance violation. Authorities at the jail


According to the complaint, the online sellers go after young people in their marketing, by offering e-cigarette flavors reminiscent of candy or sugary cereals, and by using social media popular with young people to promote their products.

Among the companies cited for its flavors was Artisan Vapor Company, headquartered in Irving, Texas, which the suit said sold flavors including Pink Punch Lemonade and Wild Watermelon Lemonade, and Central Vapors of McKinney, Texas, which the suit said sold flavors meant to mimic soda or candy.

No one was available to comment at Artisan. A phone message and email was sent to Central seeking comment.

Mikron proposes that the term is defined as a finely ground, particulate of wood at all times.
The parties agree that wood flour is a finely ground, particle of wood. The preferred embodiment supports such construction, stating: "the wood flour is preferably hardwood in the form of sawdust. The wood flour is ground to a preferred particle size...." Furthermore, the parties agree that the first two times the term is used in Claim 1, wood flour is in the formsubstantive issue:  whether federal antidiscrimination laws protecting employees applied to the plaintiff, Marilyn Wheeler, during the time she was a general partner of the accounting firm of Main Hurdman, a general partnership.

Marilyn Wheeler, a certified public accountant, was employed as an accountant by Main Hurdman, in progressively responsible positions, for nine years, following which she was made a partner in the firm.  Seventeen months later, at age forty-seven, she was expelled from the firm.  She sued Main Hurdman alleging that the partnership discriminated against her in compensation and work assignments, and expelled her because of her age or sex, in violation of:  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ("Title VII") 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e to 2000e-17;  the Age Discrimination in


that the foregoing facts relating to Wheeler's admission to partnership are not a sham, and have legal substance.  Consonant with those facts, there is no allegation that Wheeler was made a partner, or denominated as such and was continued in that status, as a device for avoiding the Acts in question.

13
However, Wheeler and the EEOC, while not contesting Wheeler's partnership status, point to other facts which they contend portray the economic reality of employee status co-existing with partner status.  After being made a partner Wheeler's work remained unchanged.  She had the same client load, same duties and responsibilities, same support staff, and was supervised in her work and work assignments, by the same department head.  A personnel file was maintained with respect to herand all other personnel, including partners.  The amounts charged for her services were established by managing partners.  The number of partnership points allocated to her for income purposes was, as a practical matter, determined by the managing partner of her office.8   Also as a practical matter, a recommendation by the same managing partner that she or any other partner of that office be expelled from the partnership was the final word, since such recommendations, according to Wheeler, were routinely adopted and appeals of such decisions pursuant to terms of the partnership agreement were unavailing.  Wheeler Aff. para. 14.

14
Wheeler and the EEOC also emphasize that Main Hurdman is a large firm, with eighty offices nationwide.  They portray it as a highly organized, centrally


managed, business institution of indefinite and ongoing duration;  in other words, it looks like a corporation.  The operating structure of the partnership, within which Wheeler functioned, is set forth on an exhibit to Wheeler's affidavit in the district court.  That exhibit shows the partners of Main Hurdman as the governing body, below which is a policy board and an advisory board to which partners are elected.  Below those two boards there is a managing partner/CEO and a chairman who, presumably, are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the partnership.  Thereafter, there appear on the organizational chart a myriad of assignments, including international, marketing, human resources, management consulting, professional standards, tax services, finance, and so on.  The chart also shows a partner incharge of operations and under that partner six geographical regions with a partner in charge of each.  Within each region the location of Main Hurdman offices is identified, with a local "partner in charge" of each office.  The local partner in charge oversees assignment of department heads, allocation of partner credit for client hours managed, the establishment of performance goals for all personnel, assignment of CPAs to clients, the amount to be charged for services, and the hours, dates and places when and where work is to be performed.  It is contended that although each partner is entitled to vote at annual or special meetings, the votes are primarily for the purpose of ratifying decisions made by the managing partner, policy board or "nominating" committee.

15
Finally,


year after being made a partner, Wheeler was informed by Richard West, Manager of the Denver office, that she would be severed from the Firm as of September 30 of that year.  A letter of "withdrawal" signed by West and Wheeler set forth certain financial and other terms relating to the severance, all of which apparently were honored by the parties.  Official severance occurred on September 30, 1983.  Following expulsion, Wheeler filed, in January 1984, a charge of discrimination with the EEOC.  On October 22, 1984, the EEOC issued to Wheeler a Notice of Right to Sue.  This suit, filed on January 22, 1985, followed.

GENERAL STANDARDS GOVERNING REVIEW OF ANTIDISCRIMINATION ACTS

18
In our review of the antidiscrimination laws we must be mindful of theirunderstood ways by Congress and the courts without the necessity of dissecting the partnership law of each state in order to derive meaning.  By the time the FLSA was first enacted in 1938, the Uniform Partnership Act ("UPA") had been adopted by eighteen states.19   When Title VII was enacted in 1964 and the ADEA in 1967, forty states had adopted the UPA as the governing body of partnership law.  As of 1984, forty-eight states, several territories, and the District of Columbia had adopted the UPA.  Only Georgia and Louisiana have not adopted the uniform act.  6 Unif.Laws Ann. 1 (Supp.1984) (table).  Despite some differences in partnership law between states, the general indicia of partners and partnership are very similar across state

D. Summary.

96
There may be many aspects of a partner's work environment in a partnership which are indistinguishable from that of a corporate employee.  But in general the total bundle of partnership characteristics sufficiently differentiates between the two to remove general partners from the statutory term "employee."    The case before us, which we regard as a "best case" presentation of the EEOC/Wheeler arguments, illustrates the point.  Wheeler's circumstances as a partner are portrayed as indistinguishable from her prior employee status.  Yet they are distinguishable, and substantially so.

 In the United States, work began on a UPA in 1902, but it was not completed until 1914.  A brief but thorough account of the drafting of the UPA is found in 6 Unif.Laws Ann. at 5-8 (1969)

United States, 417 U.S. 85, 94 S.Ct. 2179, 40 L.Ed.2d 678 (1974) the Supreme Court applied the entity theory of partnerships to support its holding that a member of a three-partner law firm could not claim his Fifth Amendment privilege against self incrimination in order to avoid compliance with a grand jury subpoena ordering production of the partnership's financial records.

The Maharashtra government’s total ban on slaughter of all cattle, including bulls and bullocks, has had the unintended consequence of driving conflict between tigers and human population in the state, often with fatal consequences.

The shooting of the man-eater Pandharkawda tigress T1, nicknamed Avni – now being probed by a three-member team of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) – is just the most recent fallout of such conflict in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region.

The far-eastern region of the state is home to five tiger reserves and a few other key sanctuaries. From March, this year, the state saw a sudden spurt in tiger attacks outside protected forests.

According to the wildlife wing of the Maharashtra forest department, there have been over 300 deaths due to man-animal conflict in the state, primarilySimmons laments 'up and down' series

West Indies head coach Phil Simmons has once again bemoaned the consistency of the regional side, following their 2-0 defeat in the four-Test series against India.

Speaking following the draw in the final Test at Queen's Park Oval here yesterday, Simmons said the Windies had shown what they were capable of but had failed to produce for sustained periods of time throughout the series.

"The series was a little bit too up and down ... we played well in a cluster, maybe two hours, three hours sometimes and then the next two hours we would be down and I think that for me that was the major disappointment," the Trinidadian told a media conference.

"We've shown that we can do things but not consistently. We batted


well in Jamaica, but went and did the same thing in the third Test we did in the first Test so for that, I think it's disappointing we weren't consistent enough."

West Indies opened the series disastrously, slumping to an innings and 92-run defeat inside four days at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua, failing to get 250 in either innings.

In the second Test at Sabina Park, however, they turned in a superb performance to bat the entire last day to reach 388 for six in their second innings and stave off defeat.trepidation and fear even a trip to the local convenience store.

"Sometimes, the streets are empty now," said Yennifer, a native of Guatemala and now a resident of Langley Park, which is just to the northeast of Washington.

When the 22-year-old mother, who spoke on the condition that her last name not be used, first learned through Facebook and WhatsApp of Mr. Trump's announcement, she said she worried for her two children. Seven months ago, she crossed into the U.S. from Mexico illegally while pregnant to reunite with her husband Kevin, 24, who had crossed the southern border a


month earlier with their 5-year-old son.

"I'm scared to go outside. I'm scared to go to all places," she said in Spanish. "My biggest fear is that if they take me, what's going to happen to my husband? And if they take my kids away from me, what's going to happen to them?"

Yennifer and her husband, who now works in landscaping, grew up and lived in the western highlands of Guatemala, from which many have also fled in recent monthspapers, there's always fear. But now it's worse," Víctor said as he returned from work. Like many immigrant men in the area, he's hired by companies and individuals to work on landscaping projects in affluent suburban homes near Langley Park.

The day laborer lives alone in the U.S. but is the main breadwinner for his family in Guatemala, which he left four years ago when the crops he cultivated, mainly coffee, began to fail. He journeyed through Mexico to cross into the U.S. illegally.

Although he's well-aware of the repercussions of living in the U.S. without a legal status, Víctor said he does not think it is smart or fair for the government to target people who are simply looking to sustain their families.

"If you're just here working — not


committing crimes or anything like that — you should be left alone," he said, also in Spanish.

Two weeks ago, the president said he would delay the wave of roundups of undocumented families he had telegraphed days before. But he nevertheless threatened to order mass deportations unless Democrats in Congress agreed to revamp the nation's asylum laws by Saturday.

Multiple efforts to overhaul the nation's immigration system have failed under both Republican and Democratic administrations, and there is currently no legislation with sufficient bipartisan support to pass in both chambers of Congress, especially during the short timeline Mr. Trump demanded.

On Friday, President Trump told reporters ICE operations would be starting "fairly soon." Getty

On Friday, the president said the roundups would be "starting fairly soon." His top official at U.S. Citizenshipand Immigration Services (USCIS) said Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE), which is responsible for removal operations, was ready to find and deport approximately 1 million people with final orders of removal.

"Here we are talking about ICE doing its job as if it's special, and really this should be going on a rolling basis," acting USCIS director Ken Cuccinelli told "Face the Nation" on Sunday, adding later, "They're looking forward to just doing their jobs."

Deporting "millions," or even 1 million as Cuccinelli suggested, during Mr. Trump's tenure is something likely to be logistically impossible given ICE's resources and manpower.

Last year, ICE removed more than 250,000 people, and many were migrants recently apprehended near the U.S.-Mexico border. The highest number of yearly deportations came during the Obama administration in


2012, when the agency removed approximately 410,000 undocumented immigrants. According to ICE, 55% of those immigrants had been convicted of felonies or misdemeanors.

Any large-scale deportation blitz would also likely elicit a massive public uproar and affect not only undocumented immigrants with pending removal orders, but millions of mixed-status families with members who are U.S. citizens and green card holders.

However, ICE officials have signaled the expected roundups would target a limited group.

Former acting ICE director Mark Morgan, who is now heading Customs and Border Protection (CBP), told reporters last month the undocumented immigrants ICE would focus on for the operation, which he said is designed to send a "powerful message" of deterrence, were on an expedited docket in the immigration court system. He said they were ordered deported byrepairing roofs in the Maryland suburbs.

The Guatemalan immigrant lives with his 17-year-old son, who crossed the southern border three months ago and is now seeking asylum. The teenager is now learning English in an American high school and working with his father after school.

Abel said he's not really afraid for himself, but for his son and two young daughters, who he noted are in Guatemala and have not come to the U.S. because of the dangerous journey through Mexico to reach America. He is certain that in poverty-stricken Guatemala, which he left months ago when the corn farming collective he worked in was ravaged by severe drought, he will not be able to provide for his family.

"Going back is not an option," he said.

The foundation sent about 20 divers to the site on Saturday but the search was called off. Thai media quoted Pol Col Jirakrit Jarunpat, commander of the Women’s and Children’s Welfare Division, as saying that police would seek court approval to search the property once they had clearer evidence that dead people might be hidden there.

It is hoped that the search can resume on Sunday.

On Friday, a team of divers found a total of 288 bones in the pond at the end of Soi Phetkasem 47 in Bang Kae district, about five metres away from the location where they had found a human skeleton on Thursday. The skeleton was wrapped in clothes and a bedsheet and hidden under a large metal object and fastened to dumbbells with chains.

The


search of the pond was ordered after police were convinced by witness testimony that it was possible there were two more corpses in the pond near the home of the murder suspect.

Apichai Ongwisit, 40, dubbed “Ice Heep Lek” (Ice Metal Casket) by local media, was arrested at his house early this month after police found the body of Warinthorn “Kuk-kik” Chaiyachet, 22, from Sakon Nakhon, wrapped in a plastic bag and buried on the man’s property.

The man reportedly earlier admitted he had killed the woman in August last year at his house. According to local media reports, the suspect was a drug user who began a sexual affair with the woman and then fell in love with her. He reportedly ordered her to sleep in a metal casket,which he locked as he did not her to leave him. When he opened the casket in the morning, he found she had died from suffocation.

There had also been reports that Mr Apichai had released alligator gars and other carnivorous fish in the pond to consume the corpses. But members of the diving team involved in the search on Friday said they found no such fish.

Pol Col Jirakrit said Siriraj Hospital was examining the bones retrieved from the pond on Friday. As there were over 280 bones, the results of the forensic testing required time, he added.

A human skeleton contains 206 bones. For the time being, police could not say how many people the bones might have come from. They were awaiting the forensic results, he said.

The suspect


is the son of the owner of the Ongwisit market in Bang Kae. His father had been arrested on charges of murdering and dismembering a 15-year-old girl in 1983. He was later shot dead.

The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature

In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits, denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.
