These eerie images show the inside of Building 25 at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, New York once a haven for the city’s cast-out mentally ill which has been left abandoned for nearly 40 years. Creedmoor was founded in 1912 as the Farm Colony of Brooklyn State Hospital, a psychiatric ward like hundreds of others opened at the turn of the century to house and rehabilitate those people ill-equipped to function on their own. Before medical advancements helped treat people suffering from psychosis and schizophrenia, the preferred option was to send them away to live in farm colonies such as Creedmoor where it was believed the fresh air and nature could help ease their suffering.

An old bathroom features rows of old sinks at the abandoned facility in Queens, New York . As the 20th century progressed and the population grew such asylums became overrun with patients and living conditions often deteriorated. By 1960, Creedmoor’s population swelled from 150 in 1918 to over 7,000. Patient abuse and neglect was not uncommon and Creedmoor State Hospital was no different. Conditions came under scrutiny in the 1940s due to an outbreak of dysentery that resulted from unsanitary living conditions in the wards. By 1974 the hospital had spiraled completely out of control and an investigation was prompted after a series of crimes including rapes, assaults, a riot and attempted murder. One of its more notorious patients was former NYPD officer Robert Torsney, who was committed there from December, 1977-June, 1979 after being found not guilty by insanity in the 1976 murder of then 15-year-old Randolph Evans in Brooklyn. Creedmoor continues to operate today, but housing only a few hundred patients as advancements in treatment for the mentally ill have proved a much more effective way of dealing.

Recently observed $c$-axis optical sum rule violations indicate non-Fermi liquid in-plane behavior. For coherent $c$-axis coupling, the observed flat, nearly frequency independent $c$-axis conductivity $\sigma_{1}(\omega)$ implies a large in-plane scattering rate $\Gamma$ around $(0,\pi)$ and therefore any pseudogap that might form at low frequency in the normal state will be smeared. On the other hand incoherent $c$-axis coupling places no restriction on the value of $\Gamma$ and gives a more consistent picture of the observed sum rule violation which, we find in some cases, can be less than half.

High School teacher salaries vary by state and even district with the average being about $56,200 yearly. However, the range is great with the lowest end of that being $34,000 and the higher ranges falling in the mid $70,000 range. However, this does not include the added health or retirement benefits.

This could easily be differences in polls, if this was the same company, than that wouldn't apply. What this means is that 5% more males are born, yet there are 15% more single men. The only way I can think of this is if there are a lot more lesbian marriages than male-to-male, though that likely isn't the case, especially not to this scale. Also, this could also mean a lot more women die than males, but that also isn't likely to this scale. **EDIT:** Never mind, after looking at the article it's more clear: > The overall male-to-female ratio is 115:100 among single adults ages **25 to 34** This means that more women are marrying men [18,25) ∪ (34,∞) than men marrying women [18,25) ∪ (34,∞). As we know, ~20% of couples have the man 2-3 years older than the female, while the reverse is only true in 6.5% of cases.

Howard has reportedly agreed to join the Wizards on a 1-year deal for the taxpayer mid-level exception Wikimedia Commons/Keith Allison Dwight Howard with the Atlanta Hawks in 2017 Dwight Howard's days of being the best center in the NBA, and just being one of the best players, are long gone. Howard has found himself on the move more in recent years, as his production has dipped quite significantly and teams have become more comfortable with signing other players. Still, Howard will have another shot to prove that he can be helpful to a team, and his next chance will come with the Washington Wizards. According to a report from The Athletic's Jared Weiss, Howard has reached a buyout agreement with the Brooklyn Nets, and he has also decided to go to the Washington Wizards on a one-year deal for the taxpayer mid-level exception, which would pay him around $5.6 million. So, what can the Wizards expect to get from their newest signing? Howard was actually pretty solid for the Charlotte Hornets last year. Per Basketball Reference, Howard averaged better than 16 points and 12.5 rebounds with the Hornets last season, and he made his presence felt in the paint, blocking a total of 131 shots after just tallying 92 swats for the Atlanta Hawks the year prior. If Howard plays within his limits, he can work as an efficient pick-and-roll big man for the Wizards who sets screens to spring guards John Wall and Bradley Beal free and who occasionally rolls to the rim to finish lobs. Defensively, if Howard focuses on cleaning up the glass and not going overboard with chasing blocks, then he can make a positive impact on that end of the floor, too. The key for Howard now is to realize that he can just be one of the guys on the Wizards. With teammates like Wall and Beal, Howard doesn't need to be the man on offense. As long as he sticks to his role and does not try to do too much, he can help his new team and himself as he tries to show the league that he still has more to give.

The recent market downturn has cut many college savings funds in half.

The international community once again rose in near unanimity to condemn a mass killing of civilians in Syria. But, as with so many previous episodes, no one proposed concrete action intended to prevent such bloodshed in the future. The White House on Thursday expressed "deep concern" and urged a U.N. investigation into what the Syrian opposition says was a chemical weapons attack near Damascus on Wednesday that left hundreds dead. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said "at this time we are unable to conclusively determine [chemical weapons] use. We are focused on doing everything possible within our power to nail down the facts." The BBC noted that the U.N. Security Council could only agree on a relatiavely mild statement because of opposition from Russia and China, allies of the Syrian government. The Syrian government denies using chemical weapons, and the details are still murky. Will The U.N. Investigate? The U.N., meanwhile, called for a thorough investigation, and as it happens, a U.N. team recently arrived in Syria to investigate previous reports of chemical weapons use. However, it was not clear whether the U.N. team would be allowed to travel to the eastern suburbs of the capital Damascus, where the killings took place. The latest deaths have again raised the question of what additional action, if any, the U.S. and other countries might take in a war that has been raging for more than two years and left an estimated 100,000 dead. Almost exactly a year ago, President Obama said the use of chemical weapons in Syria would constitute crossing a "red line." Then, in June of this year, the U.S. determined that Syria had, in fact, crossed that red line, and it pledged to send military assistance to Syria's rebels. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have also been supplying the rebels. But the rebels remain outgunned and have sought a more robust international response. France Calls For Force The French foreign minister said the international community would have to react with "force," but excluded sending troops as an option. It was not clear what he had in mind, though it could potentially refer to air strikes or setting up a no-fly zone. However, the Obama administration and the Pentagon have expressed strong reservations about such steps, and there is no sign any outside country would be willing to send ground troops into Syria. Still, some analysts thought the latest killings could change the equation. "The administration will come under increased ... international pressure but also domestic political pressure, particularly from Republicans and those in favor of intervention" if the allegations are proven, says Stewart M. Patrick, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, who has written about the use of chemical weapons. "I think it represents a threshold situation where it's not simply that a red line has been crossed for the United States, it's that the conflict has moved into a new phase," he says. "And in a way it could galvanize international action." U.S. Reservations Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, last month outlined possible U.S. steps in Syria. But in a letter this week, he said the use of force by the U.S. "would not be militarily decisive." Michael Hirsh, writing in the National Journal, offered this explanation for Washington's decision to keep Syria at arm's length: "In Syria, the main antagonists are both declared enemies of the United States, with Bashar al-Assad and Iran-supported Hezbollah aligning against al-Qaida-linked Islamist militias. Why shouldn't Washington's policy be to allow them to engage each other, thinning the ranks of each? "And by all accounts, the administration and the Pentagon simply don't want to risk the 'blowback' that could occur if the Assad regime collapses and serious weapons fall into the hands of al-Qaida." But, as Patrick of the Council on Foreign Relations says, the latest reports of the use of chemical weapons is "not simply a crossing of a red line, but a trampling of the red line." "Both on WMD grounds and on human protection atrocity grounds, there would be significant pressure for action," he says, "and significant justification for action."

I'll second the US News & World Report. However, I'll make a caveat that while rankings will give you a general understanding of how a school sits in relation to its peers, that's not the only consideration. For example, if you're into science, between those two, go to RIT. It's specifically tailored to engineering and the sciences. Ithaca is fun, but it's a liberal arts school (and there are soooo many hippies, not that that's necessarily a bad thing, who knows).

It's actually pretty fascinating when you start looking into it. The heart is particularly interesting, I think. You can trace its development back through reptiles, amphibians, fish, etc. It gets progressively worse at its job as you go back, but still good enough to keep something alive. Some small creatures don't even bother with veins. Basically, our ancestors managed to get away with what we'd consider some shockingly makeshift systems. Just being small really helps organisms get by with simpler/fewer organs - diffusion can handle some of the transport problems for things like oxygen and nutrients. It also helps if the creature can't do very many different things (like be omnivorous or locomote), because then you need fewer different types of cells to get everything done (and you don't have to worry about grouping them into organs).

Yes, absolutely, what is happening is that when you do cardio on an empty stomack your body will go directly to the fat deposites for energy but it is extremely important to eat within 10 minutes after your cario session because you body will begin to seek out proteins of which you will not have due to no food in your system, it will get the protein by targeting your muscles which would be bad. It should be noted that when doing cardio like this you should at least take some Glutamine or L-Glutamine prior to the workout this will help prevent muscular breakdown during the session.\n\nYou will burn WAY more fat like this, i will also say that when doing cardio in your fat burning zone, 60% to 70% of your max heart rate (220 - age = MHR) you will burn fat more efficiently however with higher intensities you will burn more calories hence more fat it is just that the percentage of your primary energy soarce will switch from fats to carbohydrates. Lastly, you should only do very high intensity cardio if you are eating well, i.e. not on a calorie restricting diet.\n\nGood luck.

This product was recommended to me by a few nurses & lactation consultants. I wasn't going to get as I'm not much of a "wholistic medicine" person and read that fenugreek products are more of a placebo type of drug. That is, as a placebo, the benefit of the drug is a mental / emotional one not a proven factual/medical one. I have to disagree & highly recommend this product. I have numerous issues against me in the breastfeeding department... I'm an older mom, I have thyroid issues, had fertility issues and my child was not accomodating to breastfeeding. For a few weeks, and per the advice of a few professionals, I was doing an insane "booby boot camp" to increase my supply. I was attempting to do this at EACH feeding: breast feed for 10-15 minutes per side, bottle feed with a formula supplement, and then pump for 20 minutes. Doing this took a minimum of 2 hours and was done at every 3 hour increment. Insane!!! My child also would not breast feed unless I used a nipple shield as well. I believe that all this was caused when I was in the hospital, she wouldn't feed well and the hospital 1) got her hooked to the nipple shield, 2) got her started down the bottle / formula route since she was a tiny baby, and 3) NEGLECTED TO TELL ME that I needed to pump to keep my supply up. The combo of the events was a powerfully negative effect on my milk supply, breastfeeding abililty, and well being. Needless to say, I was a physical and emotional wreck, but I was willing to do the booby boot camp to try to increase my milk supply and ultimately exclusively breastfeed my baby.<br /><br />So here's the point: After drinking the tea ONE time, I had immediate results. My pumping supply increased about 3x. Now, my supply is fine. Even better, I'm no longer on booby boot camp and not providing supplement of formula OR expressed breast milk to my daughter. Next stage is getting her off the nipple shield, but everything is in phases. Plus, it's now some crazy early hour, I really should be sleeping, but I wanted to leave feedback so others don't suffer like I did.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I also recommend Dr. Harvey Karp's book "Happiest Baby on the Block". The calming recommendations have been a life saver for me. Did I mention that my husband travels for work and is gone unpredictibly for days at a time? Oh, and we moved when I was 8 months pregnant.<br /><br />TRUST ME: The book & the tea have been hugely helpful. Sanity and sleep never felt better!!<br /><br />Best of luck to everyone. Welcome to the sisterhood!!!

In his first speech as Birmingham City University's new chancellor, Sir Lenny talked about how he grew up believing education was "not intended for the likes of me". He did not start studying for qualifications until he was an adult. Sir Lenny, 58, was awarded his first degree at the age of 46. He first attempted to gain qualifications while working with comedy duo Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball in the early 1980s. Sir Lenny, who received a knighthood last year, told an audience at Birmingham Town Hall on Tuesday: "I grew up with the belief that education was not intended for the likes of me. "It wasn't until I was doing a summer season with Cannon and Ball in 1981 that I was brave enough to embark on my GCSEs. "It was tough going, but I got through it. "I was 46 before I got my first degree, with the Open University, and, while a comparative latecomer to higher education - whose career hardly relied on securing a BA or an MA after my name - that experience changed my life. "It opened my mind to more possibilities, new thinking and different perspectives. "Being chancellor of Birmingham City University is a chance for me to give back, to contribute something to the generation of young people leaving school now and to those people coming back in to education - mature students - who, like me, missed out on the chance when they were younger." Sir Lenny, who was born in Dudley, will praise the university for having one of the most diverse student bodies in the UK. More than 45% of its students come from low-income households and 48% are from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. "This institution understands that education is a right, not an accident of birth, and if you're smart enough, creative enough and hardworking enough, Birmingham City University can provide you with life-changing opportunities, whatever your background," he said.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (AP) — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak was charged in court Wednesday with criminal breach of trust and corruption, two months after a multibillion dollar graft scandal at a state investment fund led to his shock election defeat. Najib, wearing a suit and a red tie, appeared calm and smiled as he was escorted into the court complex packed with reporters. He was arrested Tuesday by anti-graft officials over a suspicious transfer of 42 million ringgit ($10.4 million) into his bank accounts from SRC International, a former unit of the 1MDB state investment fund that U.S. investigators say was looted of billions by associates of Najib. In a lower court, he was charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust and one count of corruption. Each charge has a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Whipping is also a penalty but Najib would be exempt because of his age. The case against him will be transferred to the High Court where Najib is expected to make his plea Wednesday. Najib, 64, denies any wrongdoing and has accused the new government of seeking “political vengeance.” In a recorded video posted on social media hours after his arrest, Najib apologized to Malaysians but remained defiant. “As a normal human being, I am not perfect but believe me, that the accusations against me and my family are not all true,” he said. New Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad reopened investigations into 1MDB that were stifled under Najib’s rule. Najib set up 1MDB when he took power in 2009 but the fund amassed billions in debts and is being investigated in the U.S. and several other countries. Najib and his wife were questioned last month over the SRC case by the anti-graft agency and have both been barred from leaving the country. Police have also seized jewelry and valuables valued at more than 1.1 billion ringgit ($272 million) from properties linked to Najib. U.S. investigators say $4.5 billion was stolen and laundered from 1MDB by Najib’s associates, including some $700 million that landed in Najib’s bank account. Bridget Welsh, a Southeast Asia expert at John Cabot University in Rome, said Najib’s arrest was the “inevitable outcome” after he lost power. “It shows the resolve of the new government to address previous abuses of power. It has been done judiciously so far and speaks to a needed reckoning for Malaysia and a key step toward a cleaner governance,” she said in an email. Malaysia’s new attorney general, Tommy Thomas, will head the prosecution in the case.

What did your source for the 61,000 km/h say? It should say what the velocity is relative to. When dealing with space craft, always pay attention to what any velocities are relative to, if it isn't obvious from the context, otherwise the velocities don't really mean much. Anyway, Voyager 1 has a Sun relative velocity of about 17 km/s which is about 61,000 km/h. I have no idea what your figure of 72,000 km/h for the Sun is relative to though. Sun's velocity relative to the galactic centre is about 250 km/s, or 900,000 km/h.

A group students at Pomona College in California has published an open letter urging the outgoing college president to retract his commitment to free speech as a way to “discover truth” because “objectivity” is a white supremacist myth. In the letter addressed to outgoing Pomona College President David Oxtoby, three self-identified black students slammed the president for claiming that the college is committed to freedom of speech and urged him to “take action” against journalists at the Claremont Independent, an on-campus newspaper. The letter comes in response to April 7 email from President Oxtoby who said the college is committed to “the exercise of free speech and academic freedom” following the protests against distinguished academic and Black Lives Matter critic Heather Mac Donald at next door Claremont McKenna College (which is part of the same Claremont Colleges system as Pomona) that led to the shutdown of the event. “Protest has a legitimate and celebrated place on college campuses,” President Oxtoby wrote in the email. “What we cannot support is the act of preventing others from engaging with an invited speaker. Our mission is founded upon the discovery of truth, the collaborative development of knowledge and the betterment of society.” The students, however, disagreed with the college’s position on free speech, saying free speech has been coopted by hegemonic powers. “Free speech, a right many freedom movements have fought for, has recently become a tool appropriated by hegemonic institutions,” the letter read. “It has not just empowered students from marginalized backgrounds to voice their qualms and criticize aspects of the institution, but it has given those who seek to perpetuate systems of domination a platform to project their bigotry.” Pomona College students then asked, citing the president’s email: “Thus, if ‘our mission is founded upon the discovery of truth,’ how does free speech uphold that value?” The group that released the letter also described the idea of objectivity as a “myth” and a white supremacist concept used against people of color. They wrote: Historically, white supremacy has venerated the idea of objectivity, and wielded a dichotomy of ‘subjectivity vs. objectivity’ as a means of silencing oppressed peoples. The idea that there is a single truth–’the Truth’–is a construct of the Euro-West that is deeply rooted in the Enlightenment, which was a movement that also described Black and Brown people as both subhuman and impervious to pain. This construction is a myth and white supremacy, imperialism, colonization, capitalism, and the United States of America are all of its progeny. The idea that the truth is an entity for which we must search, in matters that endanger our abilities to exist in open spaces, is an attempt to silence oppressed peoples. The letter claims that allowing Mac Donald to speak would have been not merely a debate with different opinions, but on “the right of Black people to exist.” It added: “Heather Mac Donald is a fascist, a white supremacist, a warhawk, a transphobe, a queerphobe, a classist, and ignorant of interlocking systems of domination that produce the lethal conditions under which oppressed peoples are forced to live. “Why are you [President Oxtoby], and other persons in positions of power at these institutions, protecting a fascist and her hate speech and not students that are directly affected by her presence?” The group ended the letter demanding an apology from the president of the college for standing up for free speech on campus and the release of a new statement saying that the college “does not tolerate hate speech and speech that projects violence onto the bodies of its marginalized students and oppressed peoples.” The students also demand that the college “takes action” — including expulsion from the college — against the staff of the student newspaper for perpetuating “hate speech, anti-Blackness, and intimidation toward students of marginalized backgrounds.” “Provided that the Claremont Independent releases the identity of students involved with this letter and such students begin to receive threats and hate mail, we demand that this institution and its constituents take legal action against members of the Claremont Independent involved with the editing and publication process as well as disciplinary action, such as expulsion on the grounds of endangering the wellbeing of others,” the letter demanded.

Seaside Piers Brighton Palace To replace the Chain Pier which had been destroyed by a storm in 1896, building began on this 1760ft pier in 1891 and it opened on 20th May 1899. The designer`s name was R. St. George Moore. However, the 1500-seat theatre at the seaward end wasn`t opened until 3rd April 1901. Construction had cost a record �137,000. A pavilion was added to the centre of the pier in 1910 followed, a year later, by a steamer landing stage. The pier was extended in 1938 but was temporarily sectioned as a war time precaution in 1940. A drifting barge caused �100,000 of damage in October 1973. The theatre was closed and the landing stage was wrecked. It was demolished in 1975. The Noble Organization took over the pier in March 1984. they dismantled the theatre in 1986, on condition that it would go into storage for eventual restoration. However, it is not now known what happened to the theatre`s remains. This has led to protests from The Theatre`s Trust and other bodies. In 1995 The Noble Organization announced a �20 million expansion plan for keeping Brighton Palace pier as the 'Best in Britain' and 'Brighton at the forefront of British coastal resorts'. The plan included a two storey auditorium and restaurant at the pier head, a covered walkway, a 20ft widening of the pier`s spine and an amusement arcade and cafeteria at the foreshore. Brighton West Work on this 1115ft pier, designed by Eugenius Birch, started in 1863. The cost was �30,000 and it opened on October 5th 1866. The southern end pavilion was constructed in 1893 but was rebuilt and enlarged two years later. In 1896, landing stages were constructed. These were extended in 1901. A bandstand, halfway along, was removed in 1916 and this part of the pier was widened and a Concert Hall added. A new top deck entrance was added in 1932. The West Pier Trust was created to save the West Pier and return it to use. It is a charity and a limited company and has acquired the ownership of the pier and the rights that attach to it. It is non-profit making. All proceeds, even from commercial-style operations on the pier, are directed towards the restoring, maintaining, improving and indefinite preserving of the pier. West Pier was damaged in the 1970s by a storm and is closed. Clacton Designed by Peter Bruff, Manager and Engineer of the Eastern Union Railway, the pier opened on 18th July 1871. A lifeboat station was added in 1878 and extensions in 1890/3 took the pier`s length to 1180ft. A new polygonal head incorporated a pavilion with concert hall, stalls and refreshment and waiting rooms. The new landing stage catered for increased steamer traffic. In 1898, the original pier company went into liquidation. When the Coast Development Company took over the structure, it was valued at �51,112. Clacton Pier features a wide variety of family entertainments on a six-and-a-half acre site. Admission to the Pier is free and many of the attractions are undercover, including the traditional rides such as The Waltzer and The Dodgems. Among the Pier's popular attractions is the Seaquarium, which this year will be extra value for money as the entrance is via the Pier's ticket system. Opening later this year is the Pier's new attraction, The Haunted Mansion, which promises to take you on a spooky journey in the tradition of the Ghost Train with latest design features. Cleethorpes Built for �8000 by Head Wrighton, Cleethorpes Pier opened on August Bank Holiday, 1873. Financed by Manchester, Sheffield And Lincolnshire Railway, they took on the lease in 1884 for �450 p.a and bought the pier twenty years later for �11,250. A pier-head concert hall was built in 1888 but was destroyed by fire in 1903. A new pavilion was built near the shore in 1905 and a cafe and shops were built on the site of the original building. An elevated link to the adjoining 'Pier Gardens' was also added at this time but was removed in the 1930s. In 1936, LNER sold the pier to Cleethorpes Council. It was breached in 1940 for defence purposes and the isolated seaward section was demolished after the war. The pi

Bandleader, composer and trumpeter Steven Bernstein has spent much of the past year leading his Millennial Territory Orchestra through the big hits of Sly and the Family Stone. The ever-influential Sly has been a consistent source for Bernstein — from his years growing up in Berkeley to his time in the early '80s in New York City playing with Vernon Reid and Bill Laswell. On MTO Plays Sly, Bernstein's downtown aesthetic informs these Sly covers, which are intricate, interesting and, in many cases, unpredictable. To update this classic material, Bernstein assembled top-notch players and vocalists whose collective resumes run from Lounge Lizards to Levon Helm. In this session, Bernstein led the 11-piece band from the middle of our studio, with Eric Mingus (son of Charles) handling the vocals and free-styling through Sly's well-worn lyrics. The performances of "M'Lady," "Time" and "Everyday People" simmer slow and build into brassy, big-band joy. The band nailed each of these songs in just one take. In conversation, it's interesting to hear what Bernstein has to say about Sly Stone as a composer, the challenges of pulling together this group of musicians, and the recent spotting of Stone living in a van in L.A. It's great to bring his music back to the fold with this session.

It was time for celebrations when the revamped Longridge Towneley Community Garden was officially opened by not one, but two mayors. The mayor of Longridge Coun Paul Byrne and Ribble Valley mayor Coun Stuart Carefoot did the honours, marking the compeltion of an £18,500 project. VIP guests with the new information panel for Towneley Community Garden Town residents and visitors can now enjoy taking time out or a picnic at four new eight-seater picnic tables, delight in a raised bed scented sensory garden and learn more about the history of the park, which is situated off Berry Lane, from new information boards. Organisers from the Garden's working party say the project has brought members of the community together with a common aim - to make a positive impact on the lives of residents. It has been a two and a half year project, backed by funding from five sources - the Tesco Bags of Help scheme, Longridge Town Council, CLOG funding – support for people with dementia, the Duchy of Lancaster and Longridge and North Preston Rotary Club. Volunteers from the town council, the Longridge Community Gym, the Longridge Heritage Trust and Longridge and North Preston Rotary have all been involved, as have local businesses. Angie Harrison, co-manager of the town’s Community Gym and working party lead member, said: “The opening was a celebration of the two and a half years of work completing and we wanted everyone who had supported the project to come along and celebrate with us. We want to thank the working party for all their efforts.” Now visitors can access the gardens from the town’s main street, Berry Lane, under a distinctive custom made archway which references the history of Longridge ,including its mill heritage. The entrance to the gardens has been widened to make it more inviting. Other work has included: • Planting of seasonal bulbs with the help of local primary school pupils • The development of a photographic record featuring the wildlife and biodiversity of the gardens which now features on a large noticeboard • The re-development of a Longridge heritage trail • The development of a measured mile loop in the gardens • The raised bed, planted with a variety of flowers, plants and herbs for visual and sensory stimulation, has been designed to be dementia friendly. It also features Longridge stone. • The garden will be visited by judges from Britain in Bloom on July 3.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, which compiles a list of the most-wanted suspects from the Second World War, confirmed that Laszlo Csatary was identified in the Hungarian capital, Budapest. The 97-year-old was a police commander in charge of a . Jewish ghetto in Kassa, Hungary, during the war, from where thousands were sent to their deaths at Auschwitz.

Right, Dr Efraim Zuroff, . director of the Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem, who has submitted fresh . evidence to the Budapest prosecutor's office . Ten months ago an informer, who was . paid $25,000 for the tip-off, had provided information that allowed the . Simon Wiesenthal Centre to . locate Csatary, 97, in Budapest. In September last year, they had passed on their information to the . prosecutor's office in the Hungarian capital. A statement released on Sunday by Efraim Zuroff, the . director of the centre dedicated to hunting down Nazi-war criminals, . said it had submitted new evidence regarding crimes committed . during World War II by its 'Number One Most Wanted suspect' Laszlo . Csatary. The centre said the evidence related to Csatary's key role in the . deportation of approximately 300 Jews from Kosice . to Kamenetz-Podolsk, Ukraine, where almost all were murdered in the summer of . 1941. Activists and sympathisers of the European Union of Jewish Students stand with their hands taped to each other's in front of Laszlo Csatary's hideaway building .

Budapest's assistant prosecutor general, Jeno Varga, said: 'An . investigation is under way. The prosecutor's office will study the information . received.' But Zuroff said in the Centre's statement: 'This new evidence . strengthens the already very strong case against Csatary and reinforces our . insistence that he be held accountable for his crimes. 'The passage of time in no way diminishes his guilt and old age should . not afford protection for Holocaust perpetrators.' Zuroff told AFP that the The Sun had photographed and filmed Csatary, having . acted on the information that the Wiesenthal Centre had released last . September. When its reporters confronted him on his doorstep, he had denied any crimes . and slammed the door in their faces, the paper reported. Participants of a demonstration called by the European Union of Jewish Students protested in front of Laszlo Csatary's hideaway building in Budapest today. The demonstration was called after a Hungarian prosecutor said that investigating an aged Nazi war criminal found alive and well in Budapest was problematic because the events took place so long ago and in a different country. The Wiesenthal Centre has urged Hungarian . prosecutors to put Csatary on trial. They say he served during World War II as a senior Hungarian police officer . in the Slovakian city of Kosice, then under Hungarian rule. Hell: Millions lost their lives at Auschwitz Concentration Camp, where Laszlo Csatary is accused of being complicit in deporting 15,700 to their deaths . Csatary, the former police commander of the Jewish ghetto in Kassa, Hungary, is accused of complicity in transporting thousands to their deaths . He was complicit in the deportations of thousands of Jews from Kosice and the surrounding area to the Auschwitz death camp in the spring of 1944. According to evidence, Csatary had treated the Jews in the ghetto with cruelty, whipping women and . forcing them to dig holes with their bare hands. In 1948, a Czech court condemned him to death after a trial held in his . absence. He had fled to Canada and had worked as an art dealer using a false . identity, before being unmasked in 1995 and forced to flee. Laszlo Csatary, who the Simon Wiesenthal Centre says has been found in Hungary, is number one on the group's list of Nazi war criminals known to be still alive and at large almost seven decades after World War II. Csatary, who is now 97, is listed by the Vienna-based Nazi-hunters as having 'helped organise the deportation to Auschwitz of approximately 15,700 Jews' from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in early 1944. The top two names - Alois Brunner and Aribert Heim - are widely suspected to be dead.The following are the five top remaining names on the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's list: . 1: Laszlo CsataryServed as a Hungarian police chief in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Accused of being instrumental in sending thousands to death camps. 2: Gerhard SommerA former German SS officer who was involved in the massacre of 560 civilians in August, 1944 in Italy. 3: Vladimir Katriuk Served in a Ukrainian battalion which murdered Jews and other civilians in Belarus during the war. 4: Karoly ZentaiTook part in the persecution and murder of Jews in Budapest in 1944. 5: Soeren KamAn officer in an SS division during the war, he took part in the murder of an anti-Nazi newspaper publisher in Denmark.

By Andrey Ostroukh MOSCOW, May 31 (Reuters) - The 2018 soccer World Cup will have little lasting impact on the Russian economy, Rating agency Moody's Investors Service said on Thursday. Russia will host the world's biggest soccer tournament from June 14 to July 15 in 11 cities in the European part of the country, having spent billions of dollars on preparations. "We see very limited economic impact at the national level given the limited duration of the World Cup and the very large size of the country's economy," Moody's said. "While the extra boost in tourism will benefit Russia's already healthy external accounts, the added support will likely be short-lived." Moody's finding is at variance with an assessment last month by former deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich, who said Russia's economic growth was to a large extent being driven by investments generated by preparations for the World Cup. Moody's said the food, hotel, telecoms and transport industries would see a temporary boost in revenue, but the overall credit impact for the Russian corporate sector would be limited. Moscow airports would benefit "because upgraded facilities will support higher passenger flows, even after the event," Moody's said. "Construction companies are also among the key beneficiaries, but they would have already felt much of the impact." But the sectors expected to benefit most from increased tourist flows "are not key growth drivers in most hosting local economies," Moody's said.

Your question is mainly for the interpretation of an ayah of Quran, so instead of TRYING to interpret it over again myself, i will quote from an already existing tafseer: 31. Surah Luqman - Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi - Tafhim al-Qur'an - The Meaning of the Qur'an He writes: The words lahv al-hadith in the Text imply such a thing as may allure and absorb a listener completely and make him heedless of everything else around him. Lexically, there is nothing derogatory in these words, but in custom and usage they apply to evil and useless and vain things, such as gossip, nonsensical talk, joking and jesting, legends and tales, singing and merry-making, etc. "To buy" alluring tales may also mean that the person concerned adopts falsehood instead of the Truth, turns away from the guidance and turns to those things which can neither benefit him in the world nor in the Hereafter. But this is the metaphorical meaning. The real meaning of the sentence is that a person should purchase an absurd and useless thing for his money, and this is supported by many traditions. Ibn Hisham has related on the authority of Ibn Ishaq that when the disbelievers of Makkah could not stop the message of the Holy Prophet from spreading in spite of their best efforts, Nadr bin Harith said to the people of Quraish: "The way you are counteracting this man will avail you nothing. He has lived a lifetime among you. Until now he was the best of your men morally: he was the most truthful and the most trustworthy person among you. Now you say that he is a sorcerer and enchanter and a poet and a madman. Who will believe all this? Don't the people know the way the sorcerers talk? Don't they know the enchanters and the way they conduct their business? Are they unaware of poetry and of. the states of madness? Which of these accusations sticks to Muhammad (upon whom be Allah's peace) by exploiting which you would turn the people's attention away from him? Look! I will tell you how to deal with him." Then he left Makkah for Iraq and managed to get from there legends and tales about the kings of Iran and Rustam and Isfandyar and started to arrange tale-telling parties to distract the people from the Qur'an and to absorb them in the tales. (Ibn Hisham. vol. I, pp. 320-321). The same tradition has been cited by Vahidi in Asbab un Nazul on the authority of Kalbi and Muqatil. And according to Ibn 'Abbas, Nadr had bough singing girls also for the purpose. Whenever he heard that someone was coming under the Holy Prophet's influence, he would impose a singing girl an him with the instruction: "Feed him and entertain him with your songs so that he is absorbed in you and distracted from the other side." This was the same device which the arch-criminals of the nations have been employing in every age. They try to get the common people so absorbed in fun and sport and musical entertainment's in the name of culture that they are left with no time and sense to attend to the serious problems of life, and in their heedlessness they do not even feel what destruction they are being driven to. The same commentary of lahv al-hadith has been reported from a large number of the Companions and their immediate followers. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud was asked, 'What does lahv al-hadith mean in this verse ?" He said thrice emphatically. 'By God! it means singing." (Ibn Jarir, Ibn Abi Shaibah. Hakim, Baihaqi). Similar traditions have been reported from scholars like 'Abdullah bin' Abbas, Jabir bin 'Abdullah, Mujahid, 'Ikrimah, Said bin Jubair, Hasan Basri: and Makhul. Ibn Jarir, Ibn Abi Hatim and Tirmidhi have related on the authority of Hadrat Abu Umamah Baheli that the Holy Prophet said, "It is not lawful to buy and sell and trade in singing girls nor is it lawful to take their price." In another tradition, the last sentence is to the effect: ... it is unlawful to eat their price" . Yet another tradition from Abu Umamah is to the effect: To teach music to slave-girls and to trade in them is not lawful and their price is forbidden." AII these Ahadith also elucidate that the verse containing lahv al-hadith was sent down in this very connection. Qadi Abu Bakr Ibn al-'Arabi has related in the Ahkam alQur'an a Hadith from Hadrat 'Abdullah bin Mubarak and Imam Malik on the authority of Hadrat Anas, saying, that the Holy Prophet said: 'He who hears the song of a singing-girl in a musical concert, will have molten lead poured into his ear on the Day of Judgment" (In this connection, one should also note that the culture" of music in those days flourished almost entirely through the slave-girls: Free women had not yet become "artists" . That is why the Holy Prophet spoke about trading in slave-girls, and described their wages and earnings as their price. and used the word qaynah for the singing-girl, which is specifically used for a slave-girl in Arabic). So, after reading all this tafsir, coming back to your question, should we include tv shows or series into this idle talk definition or not? I remember once i talked about this with a sheikh and what he said was that yes this also includes in lahv-al hadis, not that intensely as of listening to girls singing and music etc. But he told me that these all talk shows which have discussions for hours which are of no use, we leave many important things because of them, sometimes even salaah, we don't read quran and we listen to them, and just to make ratings and make people fight on their shows so their show can get popular, these all kind of things are included in this. Until or unless those are constructive and about the topics knowing about and discussing about which will benefit you in any way. And you are not missing your salaah etc because of them. He explained me the detailed meaning of word لھو which i don't remember exactly, but what i remember is that i was convinced.

The gold foil experiment used compartively unaccelerated particles. As a result, there is not the force required to overcome the nuclear interactions (in the gold foil experiment, I believe it is a EM force that provides most of the 'resistance'). As a result, the particles bounce off each other. The LHC, on the other hand, accelerates the particles to a relativistic speed, which is quite a bit different from the gold foil experiment, and hits are still quite rare. The energy in these experiments is far more than enough to overcome the nuclear forces, and a true collision of nuclei occurs. It is a matter of the difference in energy levels. The gold foil experiment is a good demonstration of what our reality currently looks like, while the LHC is a good demonstration of the high-energy physics that was commonplace near the beginnings of our universe.

Cell nucleus Cell nuclei contain most of the cell's genetic material, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with a large variety of proteins, such as histones, to form chromosomes. The genes within these chromosomes are the cell's nuclear genome and are structured in such a way to promote cell function. The nucleus maintains the integrity of genes and controls the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression—the nucleus is, therefore, the control center of the cell. The main structures making up the nucleus are the nuclear envelope, a double membrane that encloses the entire organelle and isolates its contents from the cellular cytoplasm, and the nuclear matrix (which includes the nuclear lamina), a network within the nucleus that adds mechanical support, much like the cytoskeleton, which supports the cell as a whole.

Germination of your pumpkin seeds is a very important first step to a successful, perhaps record breaking season. You can directly sow pumpkin seed into the garden in most areas. You need about 100 - 120 days for most varieties of pumpkins. Giant pumpkins and other giant varieties require 130 to 150 days. People with short growing seasons, or growers pursuing the big one, need to get a jump start on the season, by planting indoors.

The Age Pension currently pays a maximum rate of $827.10 per fortnight (around $21,500 per year) for singles and $1,246.80 (around $32,500 per year) for couples combined. For singles, $751.70 of this payment represents the maximum base rate and the remaining $75.40 is paid through various supplements.he Age Pension age (the age at which a person can access the Age Pension) is currently 65 for men and 64.5 for women (but will soon increase to 65). From 2017 the Age Pension age will be increased by half a year every two years and will reach 67 by 2023.

It's an unusual tactic, but it accomplishes some things: 1. It makes the customers feel like they are getting special treatment, so more likely to shop there. 2. It may qualify for special treatment from some of their suppliers, because they are technically not a retail store at all, but an exclusive association. 3. It keeps away random customers who may be more trouble than they are worth -- might mess up the store or annoy the business customers, for example.

Currency - It's valuable for countries to be able to control their own currency, for a lot of complicated reasons. Some countries would oppose a universal currency if they couldn't have that sort of control. Both the US and China for example use control of their currency in their favor economically. Greece wasn't able to do so and that's one reason why it is difficult for it to come out of it's economic collapse (although it's not the reason it got there in the first place). But there are definitely some benefits which is why many european countries did agree to that when the Euro came to be. Time - There is UTC ("Coordinated Universal Time") which fits the bill, although most countries alter slightly so that 12pm for them is basically when the sun is directly overhead (time zones). Language is more complicated and I'll let someone else cover that.

I was very excited to try this marinade, if for no other reason than I have been wanting to get a marinade injector. The one that comes with this product is actually very nice - I haven't used another to compare it to but it was easy to snap the needle on the syringe and use. It's definitely not a cheapy, one-use item - I have saved mine and will reuse it often! It was easy to use and worked very well at getting marinade inside the chicken. As for the marinade itself, my family loved the very real buttery flavor mixed with a "creole-light" spice. I say light because I was honestly expecting it to be a bit spicier or intense, and I would have preferred it that way, but the nice thing about it being a bit lighter was that my 7yr old was able to eat the chicken I made with it. I used it for chicken breasts, not a whole chicken as the bottle states, but it worked very well - I'll bet it would be delicious on a whole chicken. And kind of fun to use too! One tip: if you don't think you'll be using the entire bottle (I didn't) at once, you'll want to pour the marinade into another container to draw it out of with your injector, otherwise you'll be dipping the needle you just had in raw chicken back into the bottle every time you refill it. I made 4 breasts and used about 1/2 the bottle.

He documented around 50 incidents in 2015."Yeah I got a couple flats right here and up the hill there a bit," said Concord resident Nina Wolfgramm.She says her tires were gouged last year but she didn't report it. Later, she learned someone who lives nearby may be responsible."The person probably thinks it's funny at least that's what I heard," Wolfgramm added. "But it's not. It's going into other people's money, other people's wallets. it's not coming out of their pocket."Police say they haven't received any recent complaints about nails in the roadway.

``I felt like I won the lottery when I joined American Idol two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave Idol,'' Kara said.

God created man in his image and established him in his friendship. A spiritual creature, man can live this friendship only in free submission to God. The prohibition against eating "of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" spells this out: "for in the day that you eat of it, you shall die." The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" symbolically evokes the insurmountable limits that man, being a creature, must freely recognize and respect with trust. Man is dependent on his Creator, and subject to the laws of creation and to the moral norms that govern the use of freedom. \n\nHow did the sin of Adam become the sin of all his descendants? The whole human race is in Adam "as one body of one man". By this "unity of the human race" all men are implicated in Adam's sin, as all are implicated in Christ's justice. Still, the transmission of original sin is a mystery that we cannot fully understand. But we do know by Revelation that Adam had received original holiness and justice not for himself alone, but for all human nature. By yielding to the tempter, Adam and Eve committed a personal sin, but this sin affected the human nature that they would then transmit in a fallen state. It is a sin which will be transmitted by propagation to all mankind, that is, by the transmission of a human nature deprived of original holiness and justice. And that is why original sin is called "sin" only in an analogical sense: it is a sin "contracted" and not "committed" - a state and not an act.\n\nBy his sin Adam, as the first man, lost the original holiness and justice he had received from God, not only for himself but for all human beings.

Merseyside Police said the 19-year-old fled from a Ford Fiesta after it was in collision with a parked car in Liverpool at about 15:00 GMT. The man was then hit by the police vehicle and taken to hospital. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of burglary, aggravated unauthorised taking of a motor vehicle and driving while banned. Merseyside Police said following normal protocol its professional standards department had been notified of the incident. They have appealed for witnesses, saying a second man also left the scene of the first collision at the junction of Buckingham Road and Ellerslie Road in Tuebrook.

Most couples (about 84 out of every 100) will get pregnant within a year if they have regular sex and don't use contraception. But women become less fertile as they get older. One study found that among couples having regular unprotected sex: aged 19 to 26 – 92% will conceive after 1 year and 98% after 2 years.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has some tough words for school districts across the country. A new study found that education about the Civil Rights Movement is "dismal" across the United States. The study assigned 35 states a grade of "F". Only three states — Alabama, New York and Florida — received an "A". Here's how the study's authors sum it up: Rather than recognizing the profound national significance of the civil rights movement, most states mistakenly see it as a regional matter, or a topic of interest mainly for black students. Nine of the 12 highest-scoring states are from the former Confederacy. They are joined by the states of Illinois, Maryland, and New York. Generally speaking, the farther away from the South — and the smaller the African-American population — the less attention is paid to the civil rights movement. Imagine if children in Texas, California and Minnesota were exempted from lessons on the American Revolution — or if students in Alaska, Hawaii and Montana got a pass on the Civil War. We all recognize that the American Revolution and the Civil War are critical events in our growth as a nation, important for all students to study. It is time to recognize that the civil rights movement, too, is one of those critical events that defines us as a nation. It is a recent and important reminder of how individual self-governing Americans can act collectively to correct grave injustice. The report does give an example of just how little students learn about the Civil Rights Movement. A 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress U.S. History Exam asked one question about Brown V. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Students weren't expected to know it was a Supreme Court case. All they had to know about it was that it was a decision "prompted by the existence of segregation, and that the segregation applied to schools." Only two percent of the 12,000 high school seniors who took the exam answered the question correctly. "Fully 73 percent either supplied an answer deemed 'inappropriate' (by parroting phrases from the question or providing irrelevant information) or simply skipped the question altogether," the study found. "For too many students, their civil rights education boils down to two people and four words: Rosa Parks, Dr. King and 'I have a dream,'" Maureen Costello, SPLC's Teaching Tolerance director said in a statement. "When 43 states adopted Common Core Standards in English and math, they affirmed that rigorous standards were necessary for achievement. By having weak or non-existent standards for history, particularly for the civil rights movement, they are saying loud and clear that it isn't something students need to learn."

President Trump says that Hamza bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, has been killed in a U.S. counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan/Pakistan region. In a statement released by the White House on Saturday, Trump said bin Laden's son was responsible for "planning and dealing with various terrorist groups." His death, he said, "not only deprives al-Qa'ida of important leadership skills and the symbolic connection to his father, but undermines important operational activities of the group." The statement did not say when bin Laden died, but it came more than six weeks after several media outlets, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported he had been killed. There has been no confirmation from al-Qaida about his death, even though the terror group traditionally does so when its leaders are killed. Unlike his father — who was killed in a Navy Seal raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2011 — relatively little was known about the younger bin Laden, not even his age. But he was a "favorite son" to his father, according to Ali Soufan, a former FBI special agent and terrorism expert, who spoke with NPR following initial reports about his death in July. "He was featured early on when he was about 8, 9 years old in Qaida propaganda videos, reciting fiery poems," said Soufan. Hamza served as a transitional leader, according to Soufan, bridging the old guard and younger generations of al-Qaida. His influence in the organization led the State Department in March to offer a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture. He had posted videos online calling for attacks on the U.S. and its allies, and was particularly interested in exacting "revenge" against the U.S. for the killing of his father, the State Department said. "Osama wanted to start grooming him for a more senior position in al-Qaida, and basically, Hamza survived just for being late joining his dad in a few days when his dad was killed by the Navy SEALs," said Soufan. In the years since that raid, al-Qaida has often been overshadowed by ISIS, but according to Soufan, the group is "more dangerous today" than it was in the years leading up to 9/11. "You see al-Qaida's operation in Syria or in Afghanistan, Pakistan alongside the Taliban, that continued from before 9/11. You see al-Qaida's operations in Sudan through their franchise, al-Shabab movement. You see al-Qaida in Yemen. Since the Arab coalition war in Yemen, for example, they went from about 700 fighters to more than 8,000 fighters," Soufan said. "So al-Qaida's, you know, playing the long strategy here, and I think they have been able to generate significant support from local populations."

Creosote and coal tar creosote are complex mixtures of coal tar derivatives. Like petrol, they are mixtures of hundreds of distinct chemicals rather than one specific chemical They are commonly used as wood preservatives for use against wood-destroying insects and wood-rotting fungi.

Trying to determine whether or not Kratom is legal to use in North Carolina? The introduction of the Mitragyna Speciosa herb into the US market really only started within the past decade and this had led to some confusion over its legality. For now, Kratom use is legal in North Carolina, but this may not remain the case in the future.

I think it should be a womans choice. Noone should tell them they have to or they can't. I think the adultery point you mentioned is outrageous compared to other possibilities if you are taking that angle. They do not cover their face to get away with adultery, but for religios and moral reasons. If they could get away with adultery, who's to say they could not get away with robbing a store? Or kidnapping a child? Or murder? But I honestly feel like none of these are serious issues to be concerned with, and having the right to cover your face if you want should be protected.

No, or at least not that we can tell of. The transition between a republic and a monarchy was only in the government of the city of Rome, other cities had their own civic governments that were unaffected. Now, the government of the city of Rome also had control over the empire, but the Roman empire was not organized as a federal system with power devolved from the top. Rather, it was a collection of preexisting cities that were still largely autonomous outside of a few areas like taxation and the military.

President Trump will travel to Wisconsin Tuesday, where he will sign an order aimed at changing a visa program that brings in highly skilled workers from overseas. The order, dubbed “Buy American, Hire American,” would direct the departments of Homeland Security, Justice, Labor and State to propose new rules to prevent immigration fraud and abuse. Those departments would also be asked to offer changes so that H-1B visas are awarded to the “most-skilled or highest-paid applicants.” The White House said the H-1B program is currently undercutting American workers by bringing in cheaper labor and said some tech companies are using it to hire large numbers of workers and drive down wages. Administration officials said the order also seeks to strengthen requirements that American-made products be used in certain federal construction projects, as well as in various federal transportation grant-funded projects. The officials said the commerce secretary will review how to close loopholes in enforcing the existing rules and provide recommendations to the president. The order specifically asks the secretary to review waivers of these rules that exist in free-trade agreements. The administration said that if the waivers are not benefiting the United States they will be “renegotiated or revoked.” During his campaign, Trump said at some points he supported high-skilled visas, then came out against them. At one debate, he called for fully ending the program, saying: “It’s very bad for our workers and it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it.” The officials said the changes could be administrative or legislative and could include higher fees for the visas, changing the wage scale for the program or other initiatives. About 85,000 H-1B visas are distributed annually by lottery. Many go to technology companies, which argue that the United States has a shortage of skilled technology workers. But critics say the program has been hijacked by staffing companies that use the visas to import foreigners — often from India — who will work for less than Americans. The staffing companies then sell their services to corporate clients who use them to outsource tech work. Employers from Walt Disney World to the University of California in San Francisco have laid off their tech employees and replaced them with H-1B visa holders. Adding to the indignity: The U.S. workers are sometimes asked to train their replacements to qualify for severance packages. On the planned order by Trump, Ronil Hira, a professor in public policy at Howard University and a critic of the H-1B program, told the Associated Press, “It’s better than nothing.” But he added, “It’s not as aggressive as it needs to be.” The tech industry has argued that the H-1B program is needed because it encourages students to stay in the U.S. after getting degrees in high-tech specialties — and they can’t always find enough American workers with the skills they need. Congress is considering several bills to overhaul the visa program. One, introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, would require companies seeking H-1B visas to first make a good-faith effort to hire Americans, a requirement many companies can dodge under the current system; give the Labor Department more power to investigate and sanction H-1B abuses; and give “the best and brightest” foreign students studying in the U.S. priority in getting H-1B visas. Trump will sign the order at the Kenosha headquarters of tool manufacturer Snap-on Inc. His visit comes as the president faces an approval rating of just 41 percent in Wisconsin, a state he barely won in November. The visit also would take him to the congressional district of House Speaker Paul Ryan, who won’t be joining the president because he’s on a bipartisan congressional trip visiting NATO countries. Trump has traveled to promote his agenda less than his recent predecessors. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump wanted to visit “a company that builds American-made tools with American workers.” Trump carried Wisconsin in November by nearly 23,000 votes — less than 1 percentage point — making him the first Republican to win the state since 1984. He campaigned on the promise of returning manufacturing jobs that have been lost in Upper Midwest states. Founded in Wisconsin in 1920, Snap-on makes hand and power tools, diagnostics software, information and management systems, and shop equipment for use in a variety of industries, including agriculture, the military and aviation. It has eight manufacturing sites in North America, including one in Milwaukee. The company employs about 11,000 people worldwide. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ants are very interesting creatures and with many different kinds of ways of being. Given that without knowing which kind of ant I can only go by statistics which say that most ants do not create compost. The do make tunnels and that can improve the drainage of an area, but generally that's about it. They haul their dead and waste products away and discard them. Only some species do things that may improve the soil (harvesting leaves and growing fungi and then feeding off that or harvesting seeds and storing them, etc.) underground in their hills and that's not a large majority.

This study proposes a drag reduction device that uses three ribbons attached 120 degree apart to vertical pipes. Experiments were conducted in a circulating water channel to investigate the effects of the ribbon length and the direction of the flow on various current velocities. Drag on a vertical cylinder was measured by a resistance dynamometer. Flow visualizations were conducted using laser sheet beams. Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) was used to measure the velocity field in the wake. This experiment demonstrates that attached ribbons can be used to reduce the drag force on vertical pipes for various directions of incoming flows. The ribbon-type device is very simple and easy to fabricate for field applications. The results are promising for the application to offshore structures.

Apologies, but what is that?

Love that word—stimulus. It sounds so scientific. With the right stimulus, you can even make the leg of a dead frog twitch. A heart attack victim gets the stimulus from those chest paddles and bam. Back to life. My online dictionary defines stimulus as something that "rouses or incites to activity." Sounds like the perfect prescription for an ailing economy. But if politicians know how to stimulate the economy, why wait for a recession? If you can make the economy grow, why wait for bad times? One answer is that a healthy patient doesn't need medicine. But the other possibility is that it's all hot air. Maybe we don't know how to make a $14 trillion economy move very quickly. And if we did, it would take a lot more than an injection of even 125 billion dollars. There's that scientific language again—an injection. The politicians are always going to inject some amount of money into the hands of consumers and into the economy, like a doctor giving a lifesaving blood transfusion. But where does the economic injection come from? It has to come from inside the system. It's not an outside stimulus like the chest paddles or the transfusion. It means taking money from someone or somewhere inside the system and giving it to someone else. The standard stimulus package doesn't change incentives. It's a check from the government. The hope is that the receiver will spend it. But when you just send out checks from the government, whoever gets stimulated is likely to be offset by someone who gets unstimulated. The money has to come from somewhere. If you raise taxes to fund the plan, the people who are taxed are poorer and they'll spend less. If you borrow money to fund the plan, the people who buy the government bonds have less money to spend and that offsets the stimulus. It's like taking a bucket of water from the deep end of a pool and dumping it into the shallow end. Funny thing—the water in the shallow end doesn't get any deeper. And even the people who get the money often save more of it than they spend. That's why stimulus schemes based on giving people money have a poor track record of energizing the economy. Usually, the only thing that gets stimulated is a politician's approval rating. I'm not saying that economy policy is irrelevant. Economic policy matters because it affects the long-run growth of the economy. I'm all for policies that make us more productive or innovative by changing incentives. But those policies take time. There's little any economic doctor can do to move our $14 trillion organism of an economy in the next few months. Politicians who work in the Oval Office—or those who seek to work there—would be wise to remember that patience is a virtue. Focus on the policies that lead to growth over time. Expecting results overnight is bound to lead to disappointment. Russell Roberts is a professor at George Mason University and a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He hosts the weekly podcast series, EconTalk. ROBERT SIEGEL, host: Today, House Democratic leader Steny Hoyer told reporters that bipartisanship is breaking out all over. He was talking about legislation to stimulate the U.S. economy; he thinks it could be passed in 30 days. Suddenly it seems everyone has a stimulus package to propose.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the research-based Chronic Care Model (CCM), discuss methods and summarise research recommendations for improving the care of depressed elderly persons. Interviews were conducted and state-of-the-art reviews employed. Three important areas emerged: (1) barriers to and facilitating factors in the implementation of the CCM; (2) the challenges involved in re-designing the delivery system and interdisciplinary team collaboration; and (3) empirical evidence pertaining to self-management support and how older persons manage to live with depressive ill-health. In conclusion, implementation research requires evidence-based knowledge, staff involvement and familiarity with the context in which development occurs.

Pork: As long as your pork is fully cooked at the time of the expiration date, you can eat it up to three days after. Potato Chips: Since chips are highly processed, they will last months after the expiration date as long as they are stored properly. Just throw them out if they smell or taste stale.

The disengagement theory of aging states that aging is an inevitable, mutual withdrawal or disengagement, resulting in decreased interaction between the aging person and others in the social system he belongs to. The theory claims that it is natural and acceptable for older adults to withdraw from society. The theory was formulated by Cumming and Henry in 1961 in the book Growing Old, and it was the first theory of aging that social scientists developed. Thus, this theory has historical significance in gerontology.
