like these that love matters most. Minnie enjoyed nothing more than to be at the ballpark cheering on his White Sox. For Minnie, every day was a reason to smile, and he would want us all to remember him that way, smiling at a ballgame. As he so often said, 'God Bless you, my friends.'"

White Sox Cuban-born first baseman Jose Abreu, who formed a tight bond with Minoso during his 2014 Rookie of the Year season, is taking the news hard and declined all interview requests Sunday.

Backup catcher Adrian Nieto, who also was born in Cuba, said Minoso was always there to give a helping hand.

"He was always there at games and always gave me and Abreu advice," Nieto said. "I'll never forget the piece of advice hegave me and Abreu: 'Just think you're the best but don't say it or walk around like you are.' I'll definitely take that with me for the rest of my career."

Minoso, regarded as baseball's first black Latino star, was a Havana native who spent most of his career in left field. He is one of only two players to appear in a major league game in five different decades. He got his final hit in 1976 at age 53 and went 0 for 2 in two games in 1980 for the White Sox, who tried unsuccessfully over the years to get the "Cuban Comet" into baseball's Hall of Fame.

"When I watched


Minnie Minoso play, I always thought I was looking at a Hall of Fame player," Reinsdorf said in an informational package produced by the team for a 2011 Cooperstown push. "I never understood why Minnie wasn't elected.

"He did everything. He could run, he could field, he could hit with power, he could bunt and steal bases. He was one of the most exciting players I have ever seen."

Saturnino Orestes Armas Minoso Arrieta was selected for nine All-Star games and won three Gold Gloves in left. He was hit by a pitch 192 times, ninth on baseball's career list, and finished in the top four in AL MVP voting four times.

Despite the push by the White Sox and other prominent Latin players, Minoso has never made it to Cooperstown.His highest percentage during his 15 years on the writers' ballot was 21.1 in 1988. He was considered by the Veterans Committee in 2014 and fell short of the required percentage for induction.

"My last dream is to be in Cooperstown, to be with those guys," Minoso said in that 2011 package distributed by the White Sox. "I want to be there. This is my life's dream."

Minoso, who made his major league debut with Cleveland in 1949, hit .298 for his career with 186 homers and 1,023 RBIs. The speedy Minoso also led the AL in triples and steals three times in each category.

Playing in an era dominated by the Yankees, Minoso never played in the postseason.

"Every young player in Cuba wanted to be like Minnie Minoso, and I


was one of them," Hall of Fame slugger Tony Perez said. "The way he played the game, hard all the time, hard. He was very consistent playing the game. He tried to win every game. And if you want to be like somebody, and I picked Minnie, you have to be consistent."

Minoso appeared in just nine games in his first stint with the Indians, but he took off when he was dealt to Chicago as part of a three-team trade in 1951 that also involved the Philadelphia Athletics. He went deep in his first plate appearance against Yankees right-hander Raschi, and hit .375 in his first 45 games with the White Sox.

Minoso finished that first season in Chicago with a .326 batting average, 10 homers and 76 RBIsin 146 games for the Indians and White Sox. He also had a major league-best 14 triples and an AL-best 31 steals.

It was Minoso's first of eight seasons with at least a .300 batting average. He also had four seasons with at least 100 RBIs.

"I have baseball in my blood," Minoso said. "Baseball is all I've ever wanted to do."

Pogba gets no special treatment from Deschamps

Despite the midfielder going through a tough time at Manchester United, France's Didier Deschamps will not treat Paul Pogba differently.

Published

22 March 2018

Paul Pogba will not be getting any special treatment from Didier Deschamps despite his struggles at club level with Manchester United.

Pogba was an unused substitute for United's last match before the international break, a 2-0 home win against Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The midfielder was also named on the bench for both legs of United's last-16 Champions League tie against Sevilla, making little impact as a substitute in either match as Jose Mourinho's men suffered a shock 2-1 aggregate defeat.

Mourinho has denied reports of a rift with Pogba, who has struggled with form and fitness this season,Related Links

WASHINGTON — A Pentagon inspector general’s report says U.S. special operations forces who participated in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden were in uniform and wearing nametags during a CIA award ceremony attended by the writer of the film “Zero Dark Thirty.”

The report released Friday omits a number of revelations disclosed in a draft of the report that was made public more than a week ago. One omission: that then-CIA Director Leon Panetta revealed the name of the raid commander during his speech at the 2011 event.

The report was triggered by questions from a congressional lawmaker about whether U.S. officials leaked classified information to the filmmakers and whether they compromised military tactics and procedures.


Oct. 17, 2002 -- Champion free diver Audrey Mestre took a single breath, then dove 561 feet to try to try to break a world record. But the 28-year-old French woman did not make it back up alive.

She blacked out and died Saturday after her plunge into deep waters near La Romana, 81 miles east of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Mestre was attached to a 200-pound weight mounted on a steel cable to help her get to the proper depth. She was trying to break the "no limits" dive world record of 531.5 feet set by her husband, Francisco "Pipin" Ferreras in January 2000. Together, they were the most famous free-diving couple in the world.

But on Mestre's way up to the surface during that fateful dive, she blacked outat a depth of 300 feet. A safety diver activated an emergency inflatable device, and rushed her to the surface using his inflatable jacket. Ferreras desperately tried to revive her using mouth-to-mouth, but it was too late.

The woman who had become the world's best free diver had died. The dive was only supposed to take three minutes, and she had been underwater more than nine minutes without oxygen.

Dangerous Sport Requires Training

Free diving is dangerous, and in some cases deadly sport. There are about 5,000 free divers around the world, and an estimated 100 die each year. The divers say there is a sense of euphoria being so far down, and liken the experience to being in outer space. It puts the body through great physiological changes, which in


some cases leads to death.

Unlike scuba divers, free divers do not use oxygen tanks, and instead, simply take a deep breath and dive at least 400 feet, the equivalent of a 40-story skyscraper. Free divers basically push their bodies to the limit: as they descend hundreds of feet, their heart rates slow to as low as 14 beats a minute, their lungs shrink and blood surges from the extremities to the heart and the brain.

To counteract the impact, divers must train in proper breathing techniques. The lower third of the lungs contain two-thirds of the blood supply, and it is the blood that holds the oxygen and carries it throughout the body.

So divers must use the muscles of their diaphragm when they breathe, to get the oxygen intooff and you go unconscious."

Blackouts like Mestre's account for 99.9 percent of deaths, Krack said.

Ferreras told WABC's Bill Ritter that he is broken up about his wife's death, but believes she died doing something she loved. Mestre was a French university student studying marine physiology when she met Ferreras.

"I chose him as the subject of my testing because he was the world champion free diver," Mestre told Ritter in an interview that aired in March on 20/20 Downtown. She fell in love with him in "about two days," she said.

As a posthumous honor, the International Association of Free Divers, a Miami-based organization that monitored Mestre's dive, will recognize her 558-foot unofficial practice attempt on Wednesday as the new world record.

A champion diver himself, Ferreras said he will not


Aloha Festivals Honors Hawaiian Culture

Looking for something to do to celebrate the start of fall? Why not attend Oahu’s Aloha Festivals?

Established in 1946, the Aloha Festivals is the largest Hawaiian cultural celebration of Hawai‘i’s music, dance and history—intended to showcase our unique traditions.

Here are some highlights:

Stephen Harper's Conservatives are just more open about their paranoia.

Alain Saulnier, former news director at the CBC's French pendant Radio-Canada, has written in a new book that he was bawled out by Tory-appointed board directors shortly after the 2011 election for the network's "biased" campaign coverage. CBC chairman Rémi Racine told Mr. Saulnier he was "embarrassed" watching Radio-Canada's election-night broadcast.

During the 2008 election campaign, Mr. Saulnier says he received "regular" missives from Harper press secretary Dimitri Soudas complaining about news reports. In one such note, Mr. Soudas said some reports "seem relatively sympathetic to other parties rather than presenting


in 2012, when the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces was in charge. In short, the Egyptian coup — coupled with the subsequent massacres and never-ending crackdown — has given the arguments made by al Qaeda in the 2000s more power than ever before.

There’s no denying that violence surged following the coup. According to the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, the month of the coup, July 2013, saw a massive uptick in violence, from 13 attacks the month before to 95 attacks. The number of attacks dipped in subsequent months — to 69 in August and 56 in September — but remained significantly higher than before the coup. The pre- and post-coup discrepancy becomes even more obvious when we zoom out further: From July 2013 to Mayto its economic dependence on the tourism industry. North Sinai, however, is a different story: In each of the four major electoral contests during the transition period, voters there supported Islamist positions and candidates at a significantly higher percentage than the national average. For example, in the 2012 presidential election, 61.5 percent of North Sinai voters cast their ballots for Morsi, compared to 51.7 percent nationally.

While the coup and its brutal aftermath contributed to a sustained increase in monthly attacks — as well as an increase in the lethality of attacks — we still see considerable variation in militant activity. From November 2013 to July 2014, for example, there is a dip, with the monthly average falling to about 22 attacks per month. Yet, even at this lower


China has opened the world's longest sea-crossing bridge linking Hong Kong to the mainland, a feat of engineering carrying immense economic and political significance.

Key points: The "bridge of death" cost $20 billion

Chinese President Xi Jinping presided over a ceremony in Zhuhai to open the 55-kilometre-long bridge, which links the city to the semi-autonomous regions of Hong Kong and Macau.

Digital fireworks exploded on a screen behind him as leaders of the three coastal cities looked on.

The $20-billion bridge took almost a decade to build while incurring major delays and cost overruns.

It was known as the "bridge ofdeath" among some local media outlets, with officials saying at least 18 workers had died during construction, according to the BBC.

The bridge includes an undersea tunnel connected by two artificial islands, which allows ships to pass through the Pearl River delta — the heart of China's crucial manufacturing sector.

Its opening will cut travel time across the delta from several hours to just 30 minutes, something China hopes will bind the region together as a major driver of future economic growth.

Traffic will begin flowing on Wednesday, but motorists must have a permit issued under a quota system.

The bridge forms a physical link between the mainland and Hong Kong, an Asian financial hub that was handed over from British to Chinese control in 1997 with the assurance it would maintain its own legal and economic system for 50 years.

That carries major political significance for Mr Xi's administration, which has rejected calls for political liberalisation in Hong Kong, sparking fears Beijing will clamp down further on civil liberties before the end of the "one country, two systems" arrangement in 2047.

The bridge's opening also comes a month after the inauguration of a new high-speed rail link from Hong Kong to mainland China that runs along a different, shorter route.

That line has vastly decreased travel times but also raised concerns about Beijing's growing influence because mainland Chinese law applies within part of the line's Hong Kong terminus.

To Claudia Mo, a Hong Kong democratic politician, the new bridge's political significance outweighs its practical usefulness.

"It's not exactly necessary, because Hong Kong is connected to mainland China in every way already, by land, by air, by sea," Ms Mo said.

"But they still need it as a political symbol or icon to remind


Hong Kong people … that you are connected to the motherland, with this very grand bridge.

"It's almost like an umbilical cord."

In Zhuhai, however, sentiments revolved around economic growth and national pride.

Airline pilot Liu Gang said he had been eagerly anticipating the opening of the bridge, calling it a symbol of the mainland's increasingly close ties with Hong Kong and Macau.

"It'll bring us even closer together, make us more flexible, economically and in many other ways," Mr Liu said while strolling along a walkway and shooting photos of the structure.

"We're now one family."

Luo Fengzhi, who works in real estate, cited the bridge as evidence of China's growing economic and engineering prowess.

Corporate conscience

A steel producer runs a transport service for the disabled and maintains green areas for the local community; a company in the food industry provides ice cream to blood donors; a chemical company sponsors youth activities; and a manufacturer of souvenirs runs quilt-making workshops and donates blankets to the elderly: each year, some 140,000 Milan-based businesses spend 1.4 billion euro on corporate social responsibility, both through community outreach or internal policies and practices.

According to a survey conducted by the Milan Chamber of Commerce, on average, companies in the northern Italian province spend 10,000 euro a year on socially responsible practices. In more than a third of these companies, the action is driven by the ethical sense of the entrepreneur (36.9


A collaborative initiative for the containment of antimicrobial resistance in Mexico.
Antimicrobial resistance exacts worldwide an increasingly significant clinical and economic toll. Despite the international calls for urgent action, antimicrobial use and resistance have been low on the Mexican government's policy agenda. In early 2010, a multidisciplinary group of experts launched a national initiative for containment of antimicrobial resistance that was endorsed by major medical, veterinary and public health institutions. The initiative called for seven priority actions including the creation of an ad hoc intersectoral advisory group, a requirement that human and veterinary antibiotics be dispensed only with prescription, and the establishment of effective surveillance systems. A consensus document was disseminated among key decision-makers at the ministries of Health and Agriculture and the legislature. The Ministry of Health (MoH)enacted a decree effective as of August 2010, which enforced the regulations that required medical prescriptions for the sale of human antibiotics. While the information disseminated by the MoH did focus on the dangers of self-medication, it failed to highlight the inherent perils of antibiotic resistance or the consequences of antibiotic use in food-animals. Following the decree, there was a surge of medical offices controlled by retail pharmacies. In the veterinary sector, voluntary guidelines were developed for good husbandry practices, including antibiotic use in food animals; five antimicrobials for use in food-animals were banned. No intersectoral advisory group or surveillance systems were established. This study describes a bottom-top approach in Mexico for the development of a national strategy to improve antibiotic use and contain antimicrobial resistance. Its experiences

The New England Patriots tendered three of five exclusive-rights free agents Tuesday, signaling the return of fullback James Develin, defensive tackle Sealver Siliga and linebacker James Morris.

The contracts of wide receivers Brian Tyms and Greg Orton were not tendered, according to the NFL transaction wire, meaning both are now unrestricted free agents.

Develin, 26, has played in 33 regular-season games for the Patriots since being elevated to from the practice squad late in 2012. The 6-foot-3, 255-pound fullback has contributed on special teams, in addition to serving as a lead blocker and tight end offensively. The former Brown defensive end carried the ball three times and caught the ball five times this past season, tacking on a touchdown


in the postseason.

Siliga, 24, originally joined the New England’s practice squad in 2013, before going on to start nine regular-season games for the team. The 6-foot-2, 325-pound defensive tackle has notched 55 tackles, 5.5 sacks and a forced fumble over parts of two campaigns with the Patriots. His return bolsters the depth of the interior line, with Vince Wilfork’s future to be determined.

Morris, 23, signed with the Patriots as an undrafted rookie out of Iowa in May of 2014. He was released with a failed-physical designation four days later, but re-signed in August. Morris went on to appear in a pair of preseason games for New England, before being placed on injured reserve as the roster was trimmed to 53 players.

"A travel ban will be placed on all non-residents, non-Australian citizens coming to Australia, and that will be in place from 9pm tomorrow evening," Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced.

Neighbouring New Zealand will also close its borders to all foreigners from midnight on Thursday.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told a press conference that citizens and permanent residents can still return, but their options are running out as many commercial airlines are cancelling flights.

People who have already boarded and on their way will still be able to land, said Ardern.

The widening restrictions on travel and domestic movement are expected to help push Australia's


economy into its first recession in nearly three decades in the first half of 2020.

Australia's central bank pumped liquidity into the banking system on Thursday ahead of the expected further intervention to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

It made a historic foray into quantitative easing on Thursday and cut interest rates for the second time in a month, joining a rush by global central banks to pump cash into the economy as the coronavirus pandemic crushed businesses.

Following an out-of-schedule meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) reduced its cash rate to an all-time low of 0.25 per cent and said the board would not tighten policy until it achieves its employment and inflation goals.

FAIRFIELD TWP. — A Bridgeton woman was killed early Monday morning in an accident on East Commerce Street, according to New Jersey State Police.

Troopers were called to the 800 block of East Commerce Street at about 12:30 a.m. for reports of a pedestrian being hit by a car.

Police said a black Dodge Stratus — reportedly driven by Antonio Statten, 29, of Bridgeton — was driving in the eastbound lane when the car hit Felice Arana, 41, of Bridgeton, who was walking in the area.

When emergency personnel arrived, Arana was found in the westbound lane. A medivac helicopter was called to transport her to a hospital but was cancelled when she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Further details of the incident were not immediately available as it continues toassembled prominent thinkers and leaders before an audience of more than 100 education advocates from government, industry and academia. The participants actively debated the question "Are we at a crossroads in defining the role and scope of a quality science education for all students?"

"In recent months we have seen fresh thinking about the future of technology, innovation and how best to inspire a new generation of students," said Bruce Brandfon, publisher, Scientific American. "This forum proved to be an informative and insightful assembly of persons vested in the success of the American education system, and consequently, the success of America."

Several key themes emerged during the day's discussions:

The state of tomorrow's workforce: over the next five years 40-50% of the U.S. workforce will retire.

The state of the classroom: The


spirit of new generations of Americans. We are committed to supporting education programs that entice and encourage students to explore their future in science."

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, and Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago Kent School of Law, Defendants.
No. 08 C 1033.
United States District Court, N.D. Illinois, Eastern Division.

Michael P. Doss, Sidley Austin LLP, Terence Edward Flynn, Flynn & Jones, Chicago, IL, for Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
RUBEN CASTILLO, District Judge.
Plaintiff Yaodi Hu ("Hu") filed this Section 1983 action against the Chicago Kent School of Law, a division of the Illinois Institute of Technology ("IIT"), and the American Bar Association ("ABA"), alleging that the ABA and IIT violated his Fourteenth Amendment substantive and procedural due process and equal protection rights when IIT rejected Hu's application to "re-enroll" at the law school. (R. 21, Am. Compl.) Both the ABA and IIT have


21, Am. Compl.)
Hu began taking classes at IIT in 1990, and stopped taking classes there in 1991. (R. 21, Am. Compl. ¶¶ 12, 17.) On February 15, 2008, in response to Hu's inquiry, IIT informed Hu that the law school credits he earned in 1990 and 1991 were no longer valid under section 304(c) of the ABA Standards for the Approval of Law Schools ("Standard 304(c)"). (Id. ¶ 22.) On March 15, 2008, IIT rejected Hu's application to re-enroll at the law school. (Id. ¶ 23.)
Hu alleges that during the past decade, he tried several times to "re-enroll" at the law school, but "was unable to do so partially because ABA rules disallowing Hu's past credits." (Id. ¶ 18.) The Complaint does not describe the nature or numberCHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Friday rejected the plea of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's assassination convict Nalini Sriharan in which she had sought premature release. The court had earlier this week said it will announce its decision on Friday on the appeal filed by Nalini. A division bench, comprising Justices K K Sasidharan and R Subramanian, had reserved the order on April 24 on the plea by Nalini, challenging the order of a single judge rejecting her prayer for premature release under a 1994 state government scheme under Article 161 (powers of Governor to grant pardon).

The Tamil Nadu government had in November 2017 informed the Madras HC that it cannot entertain a plea of Nalini Sriharan as a similar case was pending before the apex court.


Deputy Secretary of the state home department filed a counter affidavit to Nalini's petition. In response to a habeas corpus petition pending before a Division Bench headed by Justice Rajiv Shakdher in the Madras High Court filed by Nalini, the government had in its counter said, "She is a party respondent in a plea pending before the Supreme Court in connection with remission of sentences of all seven convicts in the case, moved by the central government.

Meanwhile, the former PM's son and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had recently said during an event in Singapore that his family has "completely forgiven" the killers as they find it "difficult to hate people". '' I and my sister Priyanka have completely forgiven our father's killers,'' Rahul had said.

Rajiv Gandhi was killedby a suicide bomber at nearby Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, and seven persons---Murugan, Santhan, Perarivalan, Nalini, Robert Payas, Jayakumar and Ravichandran---were convicted in the case. Payas and Jayakumar were sentenced to death for their role in the assassination, but their sentence was later commuted to life by the Supreme Court in 1999.

Nalini was first awarded death sentence, which was confirmed by the Supreme Court and subsequently the Tamil Nadu government under Article 161 of the constitution commuted her sentence to life on April 24, 2000.

Carcinoid of the gallbladder is rare. Since it often presents as a gallbladder mass it may be confused with gallbladder carcinoma. A 35-year-old lady presented with pain in the right upper abdomen, and was radiologically found to have a gallbladder mass. A provisional diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma was made. Laparotomy revealed a 20 x 20 cm, exophytic, friable growth arising from the fundus of the gallbladder. It was excised with segment IVb and V of the liver and regional lymphadenectomy. Histopathological examination revealed it was a neuroendocrine carcinoma, atypical carcinoid of the gallbladder. Gallbladder carcinoid has a poor outcome, requires aggressive treatment, and should be considered as one of the rare but possible gallbladder lesions.

Like many of the formations in Sedona, the sandstone and limestone have been shaped by wind and water over millions of years to form these spectacular red rock vistas. The desert landscape was once the bottom of an inland ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. As the climate changed, erosion took its course on the geology of the region.

The famous red rock found in the Sedona area is known as the Schnebly Hill Formation. The striking buttes have become synonymous with the pioneers, cowboys and Native Americans of the 19th century Wild West. Today, the area has become a major landmark and travel destination.SEPTEMBER 24: Maurice Smith 27 and Julius Thomas 89 kneel with Jarvis Landry 14 of the Miami Dolphins during the National Anthem prior to an NFL game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on September 24, 2017 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

A King's College London Undergraduate Psychiatry Society event to challenge the stigma attached to psychological problems in healthcare professionals and students.
There are higher levels of psychological distress in healthcare professionals and students compared to the general population. Yet, despite the availability of effective treatment, many in this group continue to suffer in silence. Fear of exposure to stigmatization has been identified to be a major barrier to accessing and using mental health services. King's College London Undergraduate Psychiatry Society (KCL PsychSoc) organized an event entitled, 'What does bipolar disorder even mean? Psychological distress: How can we challenge the stigma?'. Healthcare professionals who themselves recovered from psychological problems and a mental health advocate with first-hand experience of psychological distress were invited to deliver talks followed by an interactive questionISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Indian authorities on Wednesday were trying to determine how food served as part of a free school lunch program got tainted with insecticide, leading to the deaths of at least 22 children and the hospitalization of more than two dozen others.

The children, who were between the ages of 5 and 12, attended a school in a small village in the eastern state of Bihar. After eating a lunch of potatoes, soybeans, rice and lentils on Tuesday, they began complaining of severe stomach pain and were vomiting, authorities said.

Authorities told Indian media that preliminary laboratory tests showed the food contained an organophosphate used as an insecticide. But they were still trying to find out what part of the meal was contaminated, and whether the poisonings were


due to improper washing of ingredients.

More than 30 of the children remained hospitalized as of Wednesday, several of them in serious condition.

The lunches were part of a longstanding government-funded program to provide meals to 120 million poor schoolchildren across the country. Now one of the world’s largest school nutrition efforts, the program began in the 1980s in western India and was implemented in the rest of the country in 1995. Its primary aim is to combat widespread malnutrition that afflicts nearly half of India’s children.

State Education Minister P.K. Sahi told local media that grain ingredients used in the lunches may not have been washed beforehand, which might have led to the poisonings. However, according to some parents interviewed, only children who ate potatoes and soybeans became ill. Themeal was cooked in the school kitchen. Authorities lodged a case of criminal negligence against the school’s principal.

The poisonings prompted violent protests in Gandamal, the village where the school is located. Angry demonstrators forced the shutdown of local shops and businesses and set several vehicles ablaze.

things past. Close your eyes. Try to remember how this person smelled. Recall his or her touch. Then, whether the experience is positive or negative, describe it in words from a _feeling_ perspective. Find an image (bird, animal, or object) to represent this person and how he or she would move and behave.

Jungian analyst James Hillman said the aim of the dream is to redress a supposed lost balance. As a conditioned child who had lost her empty space, I had been educated away from a deeper soul balance. A series of owl dreams came to redress this balance, to center me. But the experience came not from mental activity, but by letting go of the gathering busy mind, sinking down into the body, and allowing the dreambook given to me the day before by an intuitive health practitioner who said, "I feel you are supposed to read this book." Later that night, mesmerized, I stayed up reading it to the end. The book was _Entering the Circle_ , by Olga Kharitidi, M.D., a memoir relating her journey to Altai in Siberia and her unexpected encounter with a powerful shaman who changed her life. As we discussed earlier, shamans are those who bridge the real world and the invisible world, carrying messages to the collective from the other side. And the earliest shamans came from Siberia thousands of years ago.

Later when we finished dinner and were having tea, there was a knock on the door. The director answered and there on her doorstep stood an


multilayered paradox of life and individuals.

### The Power of Imagination

Einstein once wrote that imagination is more important than knowledge. We can never underestimate the power of the imagination in healing. A young child escapes a dysfunctional home, climbs a tree, and gazes tranquilly at passing clouds for hours. When imagination comes into play as in transforming the clouds into animals or spirits, this child is being healed of negative imprints suffered at home. Creativity is healing this child. The challenge is to keep the inner child's creative capacity alive as we grow older.

_Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up_.

Pablo Picasso

### EXERCISE

  * If you could be anyone, living or dead, who would you be? And why?
 to heal the split in order to find balance and become whole.

Simply relating a past trauma or grief is not enough, and may even retraumatize the body and mind, securing negative patterns and cementing a memory of the event that is based on victimhood. A shift in perspective is what is needed. Using creative tools — such as writing — to shift perspective away from a victim mentality can empower us to self-heal.

### EXERCISE

  * Discover your own inner compass for feeling good. Visualize a pleasant memory from the past, one that makes you feel safe and happy. Practice returning to this memory in detail.
  * Develop the inner muscles to change your thoughts in moments. Deep breathing often helps to shift away from a challenging

"Josh said that he doesn't feel right, so that's always worrisome when a player says he doesn't feel right Martin Jones Jersey ," said Shanahan. "And I know Josh is getting a few second opinions. So waiting until our doctors talk to other people and see what conclusion they come to."

Garnett began camp in a heated competition to start at right guard after


missing all of 2017 following surgery on the same right knee last August. The team said Garnett banged knees with a teammate July 28 and he was expected to return this week.

Part of the concern is the uncertainty surrounding the injury, which the team initially called "not significant."

"It depends who you talk to," Shanahan said. "That's what we're trying to find out and that's what he's trying to find out. Josh went through a lot last year with his knee."

San Francisco signed Jonathan Cooper and Mike Person in the offseason to also be in the mix at right guard.

Cooper Zach Hyman Jersey , who had offseason knee surgery, hasn't participated in full-team drills yet after returning to individual drills earlier this week. Person has been given the majorityof the work with the starters while second-year player Erik Magnuson has also been involved.

Conventionally lamp shades have not been made with disassembly in mind, either for transport or for other purposes and, therefore, they have usually been shipped as one-piece items. Even in those rare instances in which the lamp shade has comprised sub-assemblies, final assembly has required the use of tools in the accomplishment thereof. In general the cost of final assembly has been significant for the manufacturer or the effort has been a consideration for the ultimate consumer. Shipping costs have been high because of the larger size of containers required to ship fully assembled lamp shades. Final assembly by the ultimate consumer has been the ocassion of breakage of parts and resultant dissatisfaction with the product.An Iranian appeals court has upheld the convictions of a prominent Iranian-American father and son accused of collaborating with the United States, their lawyer said Monday, posing a new source of tension in the increasing hostility between the countries.

Iran’s incarceration of the defendants, Baquer Namazi and his son, Siamak, who were convicted last year and sentenced to 10-year terms, has been repeatedly cited by President Trump in his denunciations of the Iranian authorities.

News that their appeal had been rejected came amid numerous signs of the downward spiral in the relations between Iran and the United States. The most notable is the Trump administration’s assertions that Iran is violating the 2015 nuclear agreement reached under President Barack Obama. The administration also has infuriated Iran by imposing new sanctions on


the prolonged adaptation that was required to really integrate the nurses in such a diverse context of practice:

At the beginning I was for it, I joined in, and we had one nurse and then that first nurse that we had hired took about 6 months to look at the resources. She had not even seen a single patient I think; it was ridiculous. \[...\] So I decided to quit, because it made no sense, as a protest. (FMG physician)

After the renewal of the first three-year contract, a new physician took over the leadership of the group and decided not to renew the contract of one of the nurses who had been experiencing difficulty in her interactions with physicians. She was replaced with someone perhaps more inclined to adapt toof the FMG. Until all the members reached a consensus on the value and meaning of the FMG, it was not possible to develop a strong identity in a group whose continued existence appeared so fragile.

Redrawing the itinerary: negotiations
-------------------------------------

The members of the FMG went a long way in negotiating the role of the nurses that joined the group and in developing more spontaneous patterns of cooperation. Eventually, the clerical support staff also came to terms with the bureaucratic weight of the registration process. This was not achieved overnight, however, and great efforts in negotiation and dialogue were necessary to steer the group in a common direction. For instance, the group leader emphasized the need to remind physicians of the nurses' role in order to increase the number of


adhering to it, i.e. by signing the contract with the government. However, they continued to identify first and foremost with their original organizational identity: it was an uneasy departure with an uncertain destination.

The key element of the new organizational form was the integration of nurses throughout the evolution towards a multidisciplinary group of practice. Inter-professional conflict immediately arose, with members of the group having to decide between jumping ship or staying on board. The second FMG leader, appointed in 2005, successfully emphasized the added value of the new organizational form by providing a sense of continuity during the change, thereby accomplishing what Chreim \[[@B21]\] has labelled "confluence".

Trucks, locomotives, ships, and marine vessels all rely on diesel engines to provide the power and reliability needed to transport goods across long distances. Manufacturers of passenger vehicles have also increasingly turned to the diesel engine as an alternative to traditional gasoline-powered engine because of the dramatic fuel savings it affords. From the year 1980 to 2000, the number of new diesel-powered automobiles sold in Europe quadrupled to the point where one in every three vehicles sold contained a diesel engine ([@R146]).

Because of its lean combustion characteristics, however, diesel exhaust is an inherently polluting emission that engineers have endeavored to control since the mid-1970s when the first emission standards went into effect.

very clean environment, and whose aim is at least a 1000-fold reduction of the RS bound on the validity of Pauli Exclusion Principle.

The basic idea of the RS experiment was first suggested by George Snow and was put forward in a paper of Greenberg and Mohapatra[@GB1]: if there are electron states with wavefunctions with mixed symmetry, and if some electrons sit in the ground states of some atoms while others are free, then the free electrons may be captured in the ground atomic states, even though the ground (1S) states may already be filled with electron pairs. Such a radiative capture process is accompanied by the emission of X-rays, and because of the anomalous atomic electron configuration these X-rays differ from the characteristic X-rays emitted by the atom.Council members, thank you for allowing me to testify at this joint session of the Committee on Health and the Committee on Public Safety concerning the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative Amendment Act of 2010.

of all powers that be, let us reconsider our stance regarding the policy of drug prohibition. In this hundred year effort to prevent the use of certain flowers and plant extracts we have empowered criminal elements worldwide to the tune of $400 billion per year. The US has arrested 39 million non-violent drug users at a cost of more than one trillion dollars. Despite the horrors the US inflicts on its own people in the name of drug war, it is the citizens of Mexico that bear the deadliest weight of this prohibition.

Thousands of Mexicans are butchered each year in the name of fighting this first of America's eternal wars; the pipe dream of men who have long since died and whose followers continue their efforts to destroybehavior that we demand of our elected leaders. A bit of consistent honesty should be a reasonable voter expectation.

His personal, incorrect belief, that "marijuana is not medicine" is ill-informed, and irrelevant to his job description, unless he insists on bringing his personal unscientific bias into his job, blatantly disregarding his office, his chain of command, and the Constitutions of Colorado and of the United States. As a part of the Executive Branch of our government, I believe that he works for you, Sir.

strip Mexican drug cartels of the rich profits they make from the illegal market. The resolution is aimed at putting a stop to the cartel violence that has killed almost 10,000 people since the beginning of 2007.

"When I worked to defend the border in El Paso, I witnessed the failure and futility of the war on drugs firsthand," said Richard Newton, a retired Customs and Border Protection agent and a speaker for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a global network of pro-legalization cops, judges and prosecutors. "After 40 years of waging the drug war, we've only made the cartels stronger and richer than ever. It's clearly time for a new approach like legalization, which would bankrupt the cartels and put a stop to their killings."

Here are a couple of LEAP speakers who joined the organization within the last year. Their biographies are relatively new on the LEAP web site, so I thought it might be nice to highlight them on the blog:

Annie Machon is a former British Secret Service Intelligence Officer. She has her own blog which you can view here.

Justin Dolan came from a family of law enforcement officers and he wanted to follow in their footsteps. Unfortunately, early in his policing career he was seriously injured while on duty. He now owns his own business and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Larry Talley was a US Navy Intelligence Specialist who participated in drug interdiction programs in South America. He retired in 2007 and now lives


in continuing with a shady practice first instituted by the Bush administration, it looks like Obama's ONDCP isn't even including many of the costs of waging the drug war in the budget breakdown, meaning that the supply vs. demand ratio even more heavily favors punishment over public health in reality than it does on paper (which is bad enough, if you ask us).

It sure was an encouraging signal when Drug Czar Kerlikowske declared that the "war on drugs" was over shortly after he took the job last year. But until the budget numbers match up with rhetoric, it looks like the war is still being waged.

It is of course disappointing that, despite the obvious interest many voters have in hearing the president talk about drug policy, that nonemeasure. Among those classified as disabled by any of the measures examined, 56 to 92% had a psychiatric disorder and serious chronic medical conditions were present in the majority of these cases (54 to 78%). Disability was expressed differently among the various diagnostic groups. Diagnostic category and disability were significant independent predictors of medical service utilization and receipt of disability payments. The majority of disabled adults living in the community have diagnosable psychiatric disorders, with the majority of these individuals suffering from significant chronic medical conditions as well, thus making co-morbidity the norm.


The Philippines’ presidential election has received international media attention, in large part because of the outspoken, occasionally outlandish remarks of its victor, Rodrigo Duterte. The 71-year-old Duterte, who made his political name as the militantly anticrime mayor of Davao City, has joked about rape, insulted the Pope and flippantly discussed his sex life while on the campaign trail, and yet voters in the Philippines — a conservative and Catholic country — overwhelmingly supported him at the polls. Many say there’s more to him than meets the eye:

Though he sometimes publicly throws around pejorative terms like queer, Duterte has also firmly condemned discrimination against the LGBT community in the Philippines. He has said that as President, he would consider legalizing same-sexThursday, March 7, 2019

The Wichita Police Department arrests a 14-year-old boy for aggravated assault after surveillance footage from Feb. 14 shows the teen steal a gun from a man working on a car in the 800 block of N. Chautauqua in north Wichita.

Police made the arrest they say, after Crime Stoppers featured the case and received information from a citizen who saw the surveillance video. They booked the teen into the juvenile detention facility for aggravated assault, theft and possession of marijuana.

Police say on Feb. 14, a 31-year-old man identified as the victim in this case was working on his vehicle when the teen approached from behind and took the man's .9 mm handgun out of the holster on his waist. They say the teen then pointed the


gun at the man and told him to back away before running south through the alley between Chautauqua and Erie. The man chased after him. There were no reports of injuries, police say.

Police say the case will next be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.

Wichita police are searching for a teen who they say stole a man's gun while he was working on his car last month.

The theft happened on Feb. 14 in the 800 block of N. Chautauqua.

Home surveillance shows the teen, around 17-years-old, walk up from behind the man while he's working on his car and pull a 9mm handgun out of the man's waist holster.

The teen points the gun at the man. They both back away and the suspect runsput an “America First” policy, will have an adverse impact in India. However, those demanding a revision of the policy say the programme hurt American interests. In an op-ed piece in ‘Fortune’ magazine Senator Chuck Grassley, argued that the flaws in H1B programme hurt American workers, American innovation, and even H1B workers, who are in many cases “benched” without work or pay for long periods. Grassley is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and co-author of H1B and L1 Visa Reform Act of 2017.

Earlier this year, he introduced the bipartisan legislation with Senator Dick Durbin to tackle these problems and return the programme to its original intent: filling gaps in America’s skilled labour market.

Schumer said his bill explicitly prohibits companies from replacing qualified American workers with H1B workers.


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mobile vehicle (mobile object) such as a two-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel and a rear wheel.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a mobile vehicle, for example a motorcycle, having a front wheel and a rear wheel arranged spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, the front wheel usually serves as a steered wheel. In order to enhance the straight traveling property of the motorcycle, the steering axis of the front wheel (rotational axis of steering of the front wheel) is tilted backward (with a positive caster angle). Further, the axle of the front wheel is arranged on, or slightly behind, the steering axis.
As a result, a motorcycle of this type usuallyhas a large positive trail. It should be noted that having a positive trail means that the point of intersection of the steering axis and the ground surface with which the wheels come into contact lies in front of the ground contact point of the steered wheel.
Further, as a motorcycle of this type, a motorcycle which is configured such that the rear wheel is passively steered by a reaction force that the rear wheel receives from the road surface when the motorcycle makes a turn is also known, as seen, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 04-224488.

Greenhouse's trial is scheduled for June 12.

The state, represented by the Louisiana Attorney General's Office, had filed four motions regarding Stafford's case that were heard Friday. The hearing on one was continued, and the defense team of Jonathan Goins and Christopher LaCour reached an agreement with the state on another motion regarding challenges during jury selection.

Most of the discussion revolved around a motion that sought to exclude opinion testimony from the defense's expert witnesses. State law forbids expert witnesses from giving testimony on a defendant's guilt or innocence,including noise. Vancouver worked with the Province of BC to institute a truck licensing process. Trucks delivering to the port, must meet certain age and environmental standards to be permitted port access. Clarke also told me that they work with local law enforcement to ensure trucks operate safely, and meet standards.

One interesting thing the Port of Vancouver mentioned is that they try to route trucks over fresh pavement. by smoothing out the ride, they are able to keep noise from rattling empty containers down.

A study conducted by the City of Halifax looked at constructing an inland terminal. Essentially all truck activities and empty container storage would happen at the inland terminal, and containers would be moved between the port and the inland terminal by rail. Such a system


bridge. If the city built the planned, but never started Northwest Arm bridge, and highway connection to the 103, it could be used as a dedicated transit and Truck route. this would solve the problem of getting buses from Spryfield, Tantalon and Timberlea onto the peninsula bypassing traffic choke points, and remove trucks from downtown. Trucks could exit into the railcut to access the port from Robie street, and could be subject to a toll to fund the road. Busses could connect to Robie.

Now might be the time to invest in infrastructure. However, if the Port of Halifax working with the city and Province adopted some of Vancouver’s strategies to mitigate disturbances caused by trucks, we could offset the impact of trucks on our community.Archive for February, 2013|Monthly archive page

I see that I am a little piece of a big, big universe, and that makes it right.

Hushpuppy, Beasts of the Southern Wild

ABOUT: Beasts of the Southern Wild is a 2012 American fantasy drama film directed by Benh Zeitlin and written by Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar from Alibar’s one-act play Juicy and Delicious. After playing at film festivals, it was released on June 27, 2012, in New York and Los Angeles.

Storyline: Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in the Bathtub, a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink’s toughlove prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he’s no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack, temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink’s health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is an extremely good film. I was confused for much of it and often I did not know what was real and what was imagination – maybe that was the point. It is a girl-child’s story and like a child, I was bewildered. Ironically, because reality was so suspect, there was such authenticity here.

Unbearable tension knotted inside her, and she struggled with inhibition and modesty as he bent over her. "Shall I stop now?" he asked, cuddling her against his long body. "I don't want to frighten you."

Her cheek pressed against his shoulder, and she relished the exhilarating sensation of pressing her bare skin against his. She had never felt so vulnerable, so willing to be vulnerable. "I'm not afraid," she said, her voice dazed and wondering, and she withdrew her hands from between their bodies, so that her breasts pushed directly against his chest.

An aching sound came from his throat, and he buried his face against her throat, kissing her, working his way downward. His mouth covered her nipple, tongue


involved in an animated conversation with the gentleman on her left, something about whether the new serial novels published in monthly installments were truly novels. The debate was currently a popular one, as several publishers—including himself—were launching serial novels without much success so far.

Jack enjoyed watching Amanda's face in the candlelight, her expression by turns thoughtful, amused, and lively, those gray eyes gleaming more brightly than the polished silver.

Unlike the other women present, who picked at their food with appropriately feminine disinterest, Amanda displayed a healthy appetite. Apparently it was one of the privileges of spinsterhood, that a woman could eat well in public. She was so natural and straightforward, a refreshing change from the other sophisticated women he had known. He wanted to be alone with her.ever since she had set foot in his office that morning. The prim manner she had of pressing her lips together, distorting the voluptuous shape of her mouth...it distracted him to the point of madness. He wanted to kiss her senseless, until she was soft and receptive to whatever he wanted.

He saw Amanda struggle for composure, her body tensing. Hectic color crowded her face, and her fingers tautened until they began to crimp the page she so zealously protected. "Mr. Devlin," she said in the crisp voice that never failed to arouse him, "surely you don't play these ridiculous games with your other writers."

"No, Miss Briars," he said gravely, "I'm afraid you're the sole recipient of my romantic attentions."

The phrase "romantic attentions" seemed to rob her of speech.


Christmas party at Jack Devlin's home, Sukey, Charles, and the cook, Violet, would be celebrating elsewhere with their own friends. Tomorrow, known as Boxing Day because coins and boxes of cast-off clothing and utensils were donated to the poor, Amanda and her servants would travel to Windsor for a weeklong holiday at her sister Sophia's home.

Amanda would be glad to see her relatives on the morrow, but she was very pleased that she would spend today in London. How nice it was to do something different this year. She felt positively gleeful that from now on, her relatives would not always be certain of what to expect from her. "Amanda not coming?" she could almost hear her crotchety great-aunt exclaim. "But she always comes for Christmas Day—she hasmen, watching her over the rim of his brandy glass with an expression of mocking satisfaction. His white teeth gleamed in a quick grin as he witnessed her predicament.

Abruptly Amanda's longing changed to burning annoyance. The evil wretch, she thought, glaring at him as she was tugged along behind Stephenson's corpulent form. She should not be surprised that Jack would take pleasure in seeing her discomfort.

Silently Amanda fumed as Stephenson monopolized her for the next two hours, orating grandly about his beginnings, his accomplishments, his opinions, until she longed to scream. Sipping from a glass of punch, she watched as everyone else at the party was happily dancing, laughing, and talking, while she was trapped on a settee with a self-important windbag.

Ronald Reagan was not a great President but Ike was? This was the same Ike who betrayed the fight against communism in Hungry and lost Cuba to Castro and his band of communist thugs. Ike is well regarded by history because historians are mainly liberal and Ike agreed with them on matters of domestic policy. Ike was a capable steward of a welfare state government, but he had no intention of dismantling the very system of government that is forcing us towards a third world standard of living.

Reagan was the last President with political courage. He allowed Paul Volker and the fed to sweat us through one of the worst recessions in our nation’s history in the early 80s to eliminate the high interest

Aaron, you may not have liked backing Saddam against Iran, but Saddam kept a lid on Iranian aggression. There were no concerns about an Iranian state flexing its muscles in the Persian Gulf because Saddam and his army acted as a backstop.

Arming the contras in Nicaragua or the Mujhadeen in Afghanistan was a key part of the strategy that ended the cold war. Fighting the war via proxies and ramping up our defense spending forced the Soviets into a game they could not win. They could not win because Reagan cut taxes and deregulated. Herealized that American greatness was intertwined with free market superiority. Once our market was unleashed, the centrally planned Soviet economy had no means to match us on the proxy battlefields or keep up with our arms buildup.

I would argue Reagan was the last great American President. He had the vision thing and he executed it. While he was not able to roll back the welfare state, Reagan accepted keeping it at its current levels in exchange for Congressional backing for his foreign policy. He believed that communism was the threat of our lifetime. He saw the battle as one between good and evil. The Soviet forces represented totalitarianism, central planning and enslavement to government. Reagan recognized that the Soviets were completely committed to expanding their influence and the


just a series of random locations awkwardly mashed together. Their hatred of various characters, and their empathy toward others, mean nothing to the player. Villains and allies are introduced and then forgotten by the in the space of a few minutes. Characters go on huge emotional spiels that mean nothing because the game doesn't want to waste time making that emotion mean anything, and huge amounts of dramatic FMV are wasted because Square Enix didn't pace the game properly and build to the game's many climactic moments properly.

The game has plenty of promising ideas. The central theme of inescapable destiny, interspersed with hints of racial prejudice and propaganda, could have been something excellent. However, not enough time is devoted to the exploration of these themes. Instead, most ofchoose their own battle party until the end of the game, and are constantly having to re-organize their Paradigms after the game decided to wipe all the customization from the slate. Shops in the game are useless. There are no distractions from the main quest (and boy were distractions needed) until thirty hours into the game, and by that point it's a case of too little, too late. The only really deep area in which the player has any input is the weapon upgrade system, where raw materials can be used to level up weapons. Even then, however, it takes far too long to gather enough material and most players likely won't want to bother with it.
