Schadenfreude is an emotion most people try to hide. But research shows people are more likely to exhibit this feeling if they are die-hard fans of a particular sports team.

They say that so far in 2015 there have been about 25 cases. In October officials said that Pakistan had its highest number of cases for 15 years, mostly due to militant attacks. At that time they said there were more than 200 cases across the country. The number in October exceeded the 199 cases in 2001 but was short of the 558 cases in 1999. Most polio infections are in the north-western tribal region where militants have targeted health teams. They accuse doctors of being spies and say the vaccinations are part of a Western plot to sterilise Muslims. Prime ministerial polio adviser Ayesha Raza said on Wednesday that while it had taken time to eradicate militancy in North Waziristan, the rewards from doing so were "already visible in the polio programme". Ms Raza told the BBC that polio samples from high-incidence zones - which used to be positive for months on end - were now testing negative again. The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) had only reported seven cases so far this year, she said, while Karachi had reported none. "The army has been a great help in both these areas," Ms Raza said. "With their help, and with the help of funding from the United Arab Emirates, we have been able to extend immunisation drives to high-risk areas. "We got access to populations in Waziristan after more than two years. We have also now penetrated some formerly no-go zones in Karachi." Officials say that in recent months there has also been a clear decline in the number of attacks on polio teams. A number of men involved in such attacks have been arrested. The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that while Pakistan is celebrating the latest figures, the two other countries in the world where polio is endemic have done equally well if not better. Nigeria has reported no new cases this year, and Afghanistan has only reported one. Our correspondent says that a major chunk of the North Waziristan population who lived under a militant-imposed vaccination ban for several years have now been vaccinated several times over along with their children.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The sun is about to spill some of its secrets, maybe even reveal a few hidden truths of the cosmos. And you can get in on the act next week if you are in the right place for the best solar eclipse in the U.S. in nearly a century. Astronomers are going full blast to pry even more science from the mysterious ball of gas that’s vital to Earth. They’ll look from the ground, using telescopes, cameras, binoculars and whatever else works. They’ll look from the International Space Station and a fleet of 11 satellites in space. And in between, they’ll fly three planes and launch more than 70 high-altitude balloons . “We expect a boatload of science from this one,” said Jay Pasachoff, a Williams College astronomer who has traveled to 65 eclipses of all kinds. Scientists will focus on the sun, but they will also examine what happens to Earth’s weather, to space weather, and to animals and plants on Earth as the moon totally blocks out the sun. The moon’s shadow will sweep along a narrow path, from Oregon to South Carolina. Between NASA and the National Science Foundation, the federal government is spending about $7.7 million on next Monday’s eclipse. One of the NASA projects has students launching the high-altitude balloons to provide “live footage from the edge of space” during the eclipse. But it’s not just the professionals or students. NASA has a list of various experiments everyday people can do. “Millions of people can walk out on their porch in their slippers and collect world-class data,” said Matt Penn, an astronomer at the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. Penn is chief scientist for a National Science Foundation-funded movie project nicknamed Citizen CATE. More than 200 volunteers have been trained and given special small telescopes and tripods to observe the sun at 68 locations in the exact same way. The thousands of images from the citizen-scientists will be combined for a movie of the usually hard-to-see sun’s edge. Mike Conley, a Salem, Oregon, stock trader whose backyard is studded with telescopes, jumped at the chance to be part of the science team. “Who knows? Maybe a great secret will come of this, the mysteries of the sun will be revealed, because we’re doing something that’s never been done before and we’re getting data that’s never been seen before,” he said. “A big discovery will come and everybody will say, ‘Hey, we were part of that!'” You don’t need to have telescopes to help out. You can use the iNaturalist app via the California Academy of Sciences and note the reaction of animals and plants around you. You can go to a zoo, like the Nashville Zoo, where they are asking people to keep track of what the animals are doing. The University of California, Berkeley, is seeking photos and video for its Eclipse Megamovie 2017, hoping to get more than 1,000 volunteers. Even with all the high-tech, high-flying instruments now available, when it comes to understanding much of the sun’s mysteries, nothing beats an eclipse, said Williams College’s Pasachoff. That’s because the sun is so bright that even satellites and special probes can’t gaze straight at the sun just to glimpse the outer crown, or corona. Satellites create artificial eclipses to blot out the sun, but they can’t do it as well as the moon, he said. The corona is what astronomers really focus on during an eclipse. It’s the sun’s outer atmosphere where space weather originates, where jutting loops of red glowing plasma lash out and where the magnetic field shows fluctuations. The temperature in the outer atmosphere is more than 1 million degrees hotter than it is on the surface of the sun and scientists want to figure out why. “It’s ironic that we’ve learned most about the sun when its disk is hidden from view,” said Fred “Mr. Eclipse ” Espenak, a retired NASA astronomer who specialized in eclipses for the space agency. And they learn other things, too. Helium — the second most abundant element in the universe — wasn’t discovered on Earth until its chemical spectrum was spotted during an eclipse in 1868, Espenak said. But that discovery is eclipsed by what an eclipse did for Albert Einstein and physics. Einstein was a little known scientist in 1915 when he proposed his general theory of relativity, a milestone in physics that says what we perceive as the force of gravity is actually from the curvature of space and time. It explains the motion of planets, black holes and the bending of light from distant galaxies. Einstein couldn’t prove it but said one way to do so was to show that light from a distant star bends during an eclipse. During a 1919 eclipse, Arthur Eddington observed the right amount of bending, something that couldn’t be done without the moon’s shadow eclipsing the sun. “It marked a complete change in the understanding of the universe,” said Mark Littmann of the University of Tennessee, a former planetarium director. “Bang. Right there.” ___ Associated Press writer Gillian Flaccus in Oregon contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP’s coverage of the total solar eclipse here ___ Follow Seth Borenstein on Twitter at @borenbears and his work can be found here .

That event is referenced in Harivamsha Parva of Mahabharata in 3.84 where Kailasha is described: यत्र लेभे हरिश्चक्रमुपास्य बहुभिर्दिनैः । पुष्करैः शतपत्रैश्च नेत्रेण च जगत्पतिम् ॥ 3.84.11 That place where (Kailash) Hari obtained the Chakra by worshiping for several days the Jagatpati (Shiva), by lotus flowers and by his eye. The detailed story can be found in Linga Purana 1.98. There Lord Vishnu recites Shiva Sahasranama and while offering flowers Lord Shiva makes one flower to disappear, then Lord Vishnu offers his eye (as his eye are like lotus): In this way, lord Vishnu, reciting a thousand names of Shiva, worshipped the bull bannered lord. Then lord Visnu, bathed lord Siva and adored with him the lotus flowers. In order to test the devotion of Visnu, lord Siva, concealed one of the lotus flowers. With the disappearing of the lotus flower, Visnu thought- “How has it happened?" Finding the disappearing of a lotus, Visnu (who is known as having lotus like eyes) took out one of his eyes and then worshipped lord Siva who is the refuge of all, besides being the preceptor of the universe. He worshipped the lord uttering his last name. (Linga Purana 1.98)

It is known as the Theatre of Dreams thanks to the exploits of the myriad legendary footballers who have used its stage to prompt generations of Manchester United fans to pinch themselves. On Saturday night, however, Old Trafford may again live up to its famous moniker thanks to a rugby league team that almost went bust four years ago. Castleford Tigers are the bookies’ favourites to overturn Leeds Rhinos, the big boys from down the road who have won a record seven Super League Grand Finals. Castleford Tigers and Leeds Rhinos are preparing to go head to head in the Super League final Even the loss of star man Zak Hardaker, suspended for breaching club rules, has failed to take the shine off the Tigers’ first such showpiece. Grand Final fever has gripped the tiny, league-obsessed town. In the butchers, they are naming joints of beef after players. At the last count, the population stood at around 40,000 —about 30,000 will cross the Pennines this afternoon. It is some dream. In 2013, the Tigers, operating with an overdraft of £300,000, were subjected to special measures. But under the guidance of chief executive Steve Gill, who grew up operating the scoreboard, and wily coach Daryl Powell, the transformation has been rapid. Powell, who played in the first Grand Final for Leeds, has introduced a brand of free-flowing, entertaining rugby. The 52-year-old believes it can even help England to glory at the forthcoming World Cup. ‘We have a style of playing that’s a bit different,’ he said. Castleford will be counting on a big performance from Luke Gale if they are to win a first title ‘I said to the players last November we’ll win the championship playing our way, then we’ll play an Australian team (in the World Club Challenge between England and Australia’s champions) playing our way and hopefully win that game. We want to be a blueprint for the British game.’ Cas’s vibrant version, with Luke Gale conducting the orange and black orchestra, has won them admirers far and wide. But for Powell, the man on the street in a town still battling back after the pit closures of the 1980s is his priority. ‘For a lot of people, you work 9 to 5 and you want something to get passionate about,’ he said. ‘The job’s hard and you want something at the weekend that will make you feel good about yourself. If we can make people feel good, that means something.’ Standing in Tigers’ way are the resurgent Rhinos, who have had a turnaround of their own. Last season, they struggled and at one point an unthinkable relegation reared its head. In the darkest moments coach Brian McDermott used his time in the Royal Marines to keep things in perspective. ‘You go through some tough times,’ McDermott, who toured Northern Ireland and served in the first Gulf War, told Sportsmail. ‘No matter what this job throws at me it can’t be as bad as that.’ The 47–year-old had to keep his head. ‘The coach that takes Leeds Rhinos down? I didn’t want that on me,’ he said. The hopes of Leeds Rhinos will be carried on the shoulders of youngster Jack Walker ‘But when everyone is saying, “Oh my God, this is heavy”, because of what I’ve done in the past I’m thinking, “Calm down”. It’s big but it’s not that bad. Nobody’s died.’ McDermott tried his shovel hands at boxing before launching a successful career in league and uses the sport on a regular basis to inspire his men. He believes they are in for another scrap at Old Trafford. ‘Castleford are not a myth,’ he said. ‘They have a toughness. They are a hard team to beat. We’re going to have to be really good and I mean really good, across the board.’ Castleford Tigers (from): Cook, Eden, Foster, Gale, Hitchcox, Holmes, Massey, McMeeken, McShane, Millington, Milner, Minikin, Moors, Monaghan, Roberts, Sene-Lefao, Shenton, Springer, Webster. Leeds Rhinos (from): Golding, Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Parcell, Cuthbertson, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Ward, Sutcliffe, Singleton, Garbutt, Keinhorst, Ferres, Mullally, Walker.

Arrived as expected and just as it looks and without damage. I immediately made up 2 batches of soy milk in my SoyaJoy (which I dearly love). Then it was a breeze using this nigari to curdle the soymilk, strain it and put it in my TofuExpress press (which I also dearly love). In about 2 hours in the fridge I had a super firm block of yummy tofu that has a wonderful texture and flavor I can't get from the store bought stuff. Makes the best tofu burger in the world. I will never go back to the store brands, even the organic handmade ones. Also... I just tried a nifty little trick for the tofu burgers today. Right after I curdle the soy milk and strain it off I stirred in some soy sauce and a big shake of Mrs. Dash original seasoning. Then I pressed the block of tofu. When I fried up the slices for the burgers in a hot skillet with a bit of safflower oil the aroma was great. I put that on homemade whole wheat bread with all the hamburger trimmings and some crunchy dill pickle spears. What an excellent lunch meal! I will be buying this item again for sure!<br /><br />Also... from what I hear you get some extra Magnesium from this in your tofu which is great for your health. Our diets and modern lifestyle don't supply as much magnesium as we need to be getting and supplements of magnesium don't work like they say they do. So every little bit you can get is better for you. Compared to the other coagulators you can use for tofu, this one seems to be the healthiest and most bioavailable form of magnesium. I heard one guy say that he makes a huge batch of tofu and after straining puts the liquid leftover into a foot massager unit. He said the heat, massage and soaking in the magnesium salts draws impurities out of your body. He swears he learned that in Japan and they have been doing it for a long time. You learn something new every day!

The closed-shell, well-screened europium moment should make its com- pounds an easy and robust system in which to study the correlation between the local moment and the observed hyperfine field (Bhf). Having explored why one might expect Bhf to provide a reasonable measure of the local moment, and why the isomer shift (δ) might allow for a first-order correction to include the effects of the local chemical environment, we proceed with an anlysis of the extensive 151 Eu Mossbauer data on the EuT2X2 compound family. We find that while in some limited cases a useful correlation may exist, in general there are far too many as yet unknown contributions to Bhf for it to provide a meaningful estimate of the moment.

When lawyers eventually reach a settlement in the messy Etene Nanai-Seturo case, let's hope lessons are learned. The first being 15-year-olds should not be signing five-year contracts, no matter how good they may be. Precisely because, at that age, they are still kids with largely insular views of the world and where it could potentially lead. At 15, most would admit they had little grasp of who they were let alone what path to take in life. Read more: Feud over young All Black star escalates Advertisement In a sporting context, Nanai-Seturo's situation surely highlights the folly of expecting adolescence-aged prospects to set their futures in stone. Teenagers, until at least their last year at school, should be free to savour the enjoyment and friendship sport fosters before being influenced by an agent pushing in a particular direction. Keep the pressures of professionalism at bay as long as possible. Younger athletes, especially those from humble upbringings, are also far more vulnerable to manipulation. Presented with a compelling, long-term offer that included plenty of zeros and other perks, it is understandable why Nanai-Seturo and his parents opted to sign with the Warriors. The Warriors only did what they thought was best by attempting to secure a talented local player. This club, and the wider Auckland region, loses countless others well before the age of 15. On the face of it, the Warriors can't be faulted for wanting to protect this one but the length of the agreement for someone of that age is questionable. In this instance it must also be said the Warriors appear likely to be done over after investing in Nanai-Seturo over the past three years. Their angst is justified. But is it really surprising that a potentially poorly advised teenager had a change of heart? Any parent would tell you this happens every day. In the league space often what is promised does not live up to the hype, with smoke and mirror tactics used by some rogue agents to lure impressionable youngsters across the Tasman with promises of fame. Many end up spat out the other side with minimal support. Only 10 to 20 per cent of those involved in the junior competition progress to the NRL. There are also many cases of homesickness and consuming pressure leading to suicides. Etene Nanai-Seturo played for the All Black Sevens side despite being under contract with the Warriors. In Australia, the likes of the Melbourne Storm and Bulldogs regularly sign teenagers but give them the option of backing out in Year 13. While they can't then join a rival club, they can switch codes. This appears a much better approach. In such a competitive market rugby union is also guilty of approaching and signing teenagers too young. Many New Zealand first XV teams are as professional as our provincial unions, with scholarships frequently used to poach talent. Hastings' Boys High School first XV team manager Jason Bird said this week more than half his side had agents. That is not uncommon. Nanai-Seturo is believed to now be on a New Zealand sevens contract, with the promise of graduating to one with the Chiefs in 2019. After his time in the St Kentigern College first XV his switch of allegiance may have happened organically, but NZ Rugby are capable of using powers of persuasion, too. While his own doing to a point, Nanai-Seturo is now at the centre of an ugly public spat, something of a throwback to the dark old days of bitter attitudes between rugby and league. Given the fallout, NZ Rugby should probably have left Nanai-Seturo out of the Hamilton sevens squad this weekend, at least until the feud is resolved. Regardless of where the tug-of-war ends up, the issue is Nanai-Seturo will always have the stigma of turning his back on one code and will, thus, upset a large section of fans. While his performances in Hamilton suggest he is unburdened by the situation, expectations and hype are already hugely inflated because of the contract standoff. That the courts may decide his immediate future sums up just what a sad start to an extremely promising career this is.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses an integrable equation at an order higher than the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, which is referred to as the extended KP equation (exKP) or as the 2 + 1 Gardner equation. The 2 + 1 Gardner equation has two main advantages over the KP equation: (1) it describes directional wave trains with much larger spreading angles and (2) it describes higher and more nonlinear waves than KP because of the cubic (Gardner) term. The 2 + 1 Gardner equation is one of the richest integrable equations known, and characterizing its scattering transform solution with periodic boundary conditions is challenging. The Lax pair and Hirota bilinear form for the 2 + 1 Gardner equation is given. The chapter describes the procedure for deriving the extended KP equation in physical units and physical behavior of the extended KP equation.

Police forces across the UK were inundated with calls last night after a large fireball, thought to be a meteor, was spotted in the sky. Reports of a 'bright light' and an 'orange glow' were received by police across Scotland and the north of England at about 9.40pm yesterday. Some people are believed to have phoned the police fearing a plane had crashed. A spectacular shot of the meteor taken by amateur astronomer Graeme Whipps in northern Scotland . The Met Office tweeted: 'Hi all, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite.' The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a 'huge fireball' travelling from north to south over Northumberland. The Observatory posted on Twitter: 'Of 30 years observing the sky, fireball best thing I have ever seen period.' Meteors are particles from space that . burn up in a streak of light as they enter the Earth's atmosphere, . whereas meteorites are larger objects that survive the trip and reach . the surface of the Earth. Dr David Whitehouse, an author and . astronomer, said: 'Judging by its brightness, it may have have been . large enough to survive and hit the ground but until people work out its . trajectory we won't have any idea where it might have come down.' Stargazing: The shooting star photographed over Kirkby photographed by Jake Ross . Star bright: Close up of meteor taken by Graeme Whipps who took this photo when he was studying the aurora . Dr Whitehouse said the object was about the size of a fist and was probably the debris of a planet that never properly formed. 'It's a chunk of rock that's probably . come from somewhere between Mars and Jupiter has been in space for . thousands of millions of years. 'There are tens of thousands of bits . of rock and grains of sand orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. Some of it . comes out of that orbit and some of it hits the Earth.' Starstruck: The meteor, visible in the top right hand corner of this image as an elongated white streak, was seen in the skies across the north of England and was spotted as far south as Peterborough . Starburst: In this video footage the meteor arrives at the top left of the screen . Amateur astronomer, Graeme Whipps, spotted the bright light while taking photos of the aurora in Chapel of Garioch near Aberdeen. Graeme, 48, who works as a meteorologist, captured the image with a Canon 40D, 15 second exposure. He said: 'It looked like it was moving south or southwest, whilst brightening.' He is one of a number of people across Britain who saw a meteor across the north of England and Scotland. Mike Ridley, an amateur photographer, of . Durham City, managed to capture a stunning image of the meteorite . against the backdrop of the 'Global Rainbow' - a laser display by artist . Yvette Mattern installed in Whitley Bay to celebrate the London 2012 . Cultural Olympiad in the north-east of England. Mr Ridley, 49, a Quality Assurance . Inspector for Nissan in Washington Tyne and Wear, said: 'I was standing . with my friend when we saw a bright light in the sky moving really fast. 'I was there to photograph the laser show in Whitley Bay, but the light caught my eye so I turned the camera around. 'At . first I thought it was a firework, then my friend said he thought it . was a meteor or comet - I caught the white light and an orange glowing . tail in my picture. Amazing: The stunning meteor is captured shooting across the sky behind a laser show in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside. The shot was taken by amateur photographer Mike Ridley using time-lapse photography . 'I managed to capture the trail it left because I took my photo with a long exposure. 'The light was heading north to south. It lasted thirty seconds or more, It was really spectacular. We waited around to see if we would see anything else, but it was over very quickly.' Fire up: The meteor sparked a huge reaction on social networking sites including Twitter as users posted their own images and video . A spokesman for Strathclyde Police . said the force had been 'inundated' with calls about a bright object in . the sky across the west of Scotland. In Durham, calls started to come in at about 9.45pm to its constabulary from concerned members of public . who had seen a 'bright light or a fire in the sky' and believed it may . have been incidents involving an aircraft.

One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: 'It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!' Hundreds of people took to Twitter to . report where they had seen the shower and Adrian West, of Meteorwatch, . said he had seen reports of sightings from Scotland to Devon. He spotted the meteor in Berkshire and believed it could have gone down in the English Channel or the Bay of Biscay. Mr West told the BBC it was a .

Tazo Chai tea in the filter bag has an aroma and taste I love. I also drink Stash Chai, but I prefer Tazo Chai because it adds a small and pleasant bite. That may be because its spices include pepper and anise. I fix it every morning, 14 oz. at a time, using one or two tea bags (depending on how sparky I feel at the time). I add two bags of Splenda and two ounces of skim milk. The result is 16 oz. of pure, low-calorie pleasure.

One of country music's legendary pioneers will be performing at Fort Hall's Shoshone-Bannock Events Center on Oct. 13. Grand Ole Opry inductee, Grammy Award winner, two-time Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year, first American Country Music Artist to perform in China, “Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue,” and her signature floor-length hair are just a few of Crystal Gayle's honors and claims to fame. Because Gayle's career, life and musical style were so different from her illustrious country-singing sister, Loretta Lynn, it's sometimes hard to remember that they were both “Coal Miner's Daughters” who rose from the same humble circumstances. Born the youngest of eight children in small-town Paintsville, Kentucky, in 1951, Crystal, named Brenda Gail Webb, was only about 8 years when her father died of the black lung disease which affected many coal miners. “We never thought of ourselves as being poor,” said Gayle said in an interview with UK Living Live. “My mother said she always had food on the table and a roof over her head, so I never felt like anything was really wrong. I don't look back on my childhood as being poor.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gayle said her father's death affected her immensely. She said she is shy and introverted like her father and that after his death, she internalized the pain and “went into a shell.” When she developed nervous habits such as wringing her hands, her mother took her to a stern German doctor who commanded that she stop the habit immediately which finally snapped her out of her spiraling grief. In an email, Darrell Beatty, of Gayle Enterprises, Inc., stated that after Crystal's father died, her mother, Clara Webb Butcher, worked hard to continue to put food on the table for the family. Among other jobs, Clara worked the midnight shift at a nursing home. “Being a strong-willed woman from the hills of Kentucky provided (Clara) with the skills, wisdom, and strength to provide for her family,” Beatty said, “all the while showing a young Crystal how to be a strong, independent woman while still being a lady.” According to Beatty, both of Crystal's parents descend from Cherokee ancestry. Though not registered with a tribe, Crystal is very proud of her Native American heritage for which she was honored by being inducted into the Native American Music Awards Hall of Fame in 2001. Music surrounded the young children of the Webb home. “In the hills of Kentucky, music was a way of life,” explained Beatty. Crystal's mother sang and played the banjo and all of Crystal's siblings learned to play instruments and sing. Beatty added that Crystal “mentioned many times that her mother said Crystal could sing before she could talk.” Crystal's professional singing career began in her early youth doing summer tours with Loretta. When she graduated from high school, Crystal signed with Loretta's label at Decca Records, but because they had already signed another singer named Brenda (Brenda Lee — “I'm Sorry”), she needed a new stage name, which was eventually given to her by Loretta. Upon inducting Crystal into the Grand Ole Opry, Loretta laughed as she admitted, “You were named after a chandelier.” Loretta had been looking at a crystal chandelier and thought how “bright and shiny” it was and decided it was the perfect name for her sister. At first, Crystal didn't like the name, but said, “I got over it. It's my name now.” For nearly 50 years, Gayle has helped pioneer the bridge between grassroots country and pop music, which influenced the direction of today's country sound. According to Beatty, Crystal did not hesitate to just record songs she felt were wonderful, without worrying about being “too country” or “too pop” which opened up her appeal to many audiences across the world. Because of her innovative style, she added her name to the list of legendary artists like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Loretta Lynn who have received the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award. Crystal said Loretta encouraged her to do something different from Loretta's “honky-tonk” style because she didn't want Crystal to be compared to her. Crystal's new cross-over sound was sometimes labeled “slick country.” To Rolling Stone, Gayle stated that what they considered “slick” back then sounds more “country than anything being played (on country radio) now.” Though Gayle has seen many changes in the sound and themes over the years in country music, she laughed as she told UK Living, “You know, they are really just looking for the hit song. I don't think they are very worried about the idea. If it's going to be No. 1, they don't really care what it says.” Crystal added that she has never known whether her songs are going to be a big hit or not, except in one case. “I knew when I recorded, 'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,' that it was a very special song. I wanted it to be my very first song out there and I knew that if I didn't record it, someone was going to take it from my album. I finally talked the record company into it and I'm glad I did.” For all those who have coveted Crystal's floor-length tresses, in an interview with TV talk show hosts Crooks and Chase, Crystal said that it does have its drawbacks. She often gets it shut in doors or caught on buttons. When asked if she had ever cut it, she said she cuts it all the time because it grows over a foot per year. Crystal and her husband Bill Gatzimos have been married for over 45 years. Crystal's husband earned degrees in psychology and a doctorate of law. He has worked as Gayle's manager and is the president of Gayle Enterprises. The couple has two children. Crystal will be joining another country legend, Lee Greenwood, writer of “God Bless the USA,” for the Oct. 13 performance, which starts at 7 pm. Ticket prices range from $39 to $59.

Elements of the probabilistic geometry are used to derive the bubble coalescence term of the statistical description of gas liquid flows. It is shown that the Boltzmann`s hypothesis, that leads to the kinetic theory of dilute gases, is not appropriate for this kind of flows. The resulting integro-differential transport equation is numerically integrated to study the flow development in slender bubble columns. The solution remarkably predicts the transition from bubbly to slug flow pattern. Moreover, a bubbly bimodal size distribution is predicted, which has already been observed experimentally.

For some time now, literary critics have addressed Daniel Deronda and the eighteenth chapter of Impressions of Theophrastus Such — ‘The Modern Hep! Hep! Hep!’ — as important treatments of anti-Semitism in Victorian culture.1 But should it matter to us that George Eliot never used the term anti-Semitism? Does it make a difference to our description of these works that her attempt to identify and articulate the historical manifestations of Jew-hating came before their conceptual synthesis within a single category? The case of ‘The Modern Hep!’ suggests that the use of the now-current term ‘anti-Semitism’ is an obstacle to our interpretation of Eliot’s writing about Jews in late nineteenth-century England, oversimplifying and distorting her historical understanding of how inherited texts and habits combined to shape the national character of England, a character she thought was troubled by a history of irrational hatred.

These laws were enacted in order to essentially add more felonious crimes to those who were known gang members. It was the general census that those committing the most common crimes were also using the said weapons that would now be considered illegal thus allowing more criminals to be locked up under federal law. Basically the laws against these weapons made it easier to lock up gang members for a longer time.

Expat Patricia Wells shuttles between her apartment in Paris and her farmhouse in Provence. Her second book, The Provence Cookbook is recommended by Bonny Wolf for her summer roundup of cookbooks. Tagliatelle with Rosemary and Lemon Equipment: A 6-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander; a large nonstick skillet with a lid. 3 tablespoons coarse sea salt 1 pound fresh tagliatelle pasta or imported Italian linguine 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 cups fresh rosemary leaves, finely minced 2 cups (8 ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Fine sea salt to taste One summer this was the recipe of the season. I had a guest and we ate this beautifully simple pasta for dinner three nights in a row. I could have gone for a fourth, but we went out to dinner instead. What could possibly be bad about the trio of fresh golden pasta, lemons from the tree and rosemary from right outside the kitchen door? A touch of parmesan, a sip of wine, and the celebration has begun! 1. In the pasta pot, bring about 5 quarts of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse sea salt and the pasta, stirring to prevent the pasta from sticking. Cook until tender but firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pasta pot from the heat. Remove the colander and drain over a sink, shaking to remove excess water, but retain 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. 2. In the skillet, heat the oil and lemon juice just until warm. Add the drained pasta and the pasta cooking water, tablespoon by tablespoon, until the pasta absorbs the liquid. Add the rosemary and toss. Add half of the cheese and toss once more. Cover and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the pasta to thoroughly absorb the sauce. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to individual warmed shallow soup bowls. Serve immediately, passing the remaining cheese at the table. 4 to 6 servings Wine Suggestion: I like a golden wine here, one that reflects the lightness as well as the depth of the dish. One evening my friend Steven and I splurged on a bottle of white from the Domaine de la Granges des Pères, a unique white made from the Rousanne grape. This vin de pays de l’Hérault, from just north of Montpelier, is velvety, harmonious, and full of fresh fruit and big enough to stand up to the lemony acidity of the pasta as well as the power of rosemary. Cold Cavaillon Melon Soup with Beaumes-de-Venise and Buttermilk Sorbet Equipment: A food processor or blender 1 perfectly ripe cantaloupe (about 2 pounds) 1/4 cup Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise or other sweet white wine 8 scoops Buttermilk Sorbet 3 tablespoons fresh lemon balm leaves or mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade From early spring through late summer, ripe and fragrant Cavaillon melons fill the markets of Provence. There is always one (or more) in my refrigerator, ready to serve as a breakfast treat, a snack, or for making this quick and satisfying dessert. I love to serve it with a scoop of Buttermilk Sorbet, for the color contrast is astonishing and the flavor contrast just as stunning. We have lemon balm, or mélisse, growing wild all over the farm, so this is one place to put that mint-family herb to use as a festive garnish. 1. Halve and seed the melon. Cut the melon into slices, peel, and cut into cubes. Place the cubes of melon in a food processor or blender, and blend until totally smooth. Add the wine and blend again. Transfer to a bowl. Cover securely and refrigerate until serving time. (The soup can be made up to 8 hours in advance.) 2. At serving time, stir the soup to blend again. Pour into eight chilled, shallow soup bowls. Place a small scoop of sorbet in the center of each bowl. Garnish with the chiffonade of fresh lemon balm or mint. Eight 1/2-cup servings Buttermilk Sorbet Equipment: An ice cream maker. 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 2 cups buttermilk, shaken to blend I confess to a severe weakness for anything with a slightly lactic tang, and buttermilk is among those light and refreshing flavors that appeal to my palate. Buttermilk, which the French market as lait fermenté, is to my thinking an underutilized ingredient. It offers the pleasures of richer ingredients such as cream with much less fat. This sorbet goes with just about everything, so I serve it often. 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and corn syrup. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature. 2. Combine the lemon syrup and the buttermilk, and stir to blend. Chill thoroughly. Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 10 to 12 servings Excerpted from The Provence Cookbook by Patricia Wells. Copyright © 2004, Patricia Wells.

A masked child has 're-enacted' James Foley's murder in disturbing images which show the youngster beheading a doll in an orange jumpsuit. The photos were posted online by a supporter of the Islamic State terror group and came with the chilling message: 'Teach your children to cut necks, tomorrow there will be a lot of rotten heads'. Along with the photographs, which also show the doll after it has been beheaded, the Time for the Caliphate account circulated graphic images of the U.S. journalist's murder to its 3,500 followers. It comes amid growing concerns over disaffected or vulnerable children being radicalised through social media as major networks including Twitter and Youtube vow to halt the spread of extremist propaganda. Chilling: Barefoot and wearing a black balaclava, a young child appears to re-enact the brutal murder of the U.S. journalist James Foley by beheading a doll in an orange jumpsuit. The images were circulated on Twitter . Propaganda: A second image shows the doll decapitated and smeared with what appears to be fake blood . The sick child 'execution' images mirrored the murder of James Foley, with the unknown child holding a knife and dressed all in black including a balaclava. In the main image, the child holds the blond doll by its hair while standing in front of the black flag which has become the symbol of the terror group. In the second, the doll is decapitated on the floor. For some, the photographs add to concerns that children are being radicalised with the help of the persuasive power of social media. Earlier this month Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott voiced condemnation after images circulated of a young boy - allegedly the son of an Australian ex-terror convict - apparently holding a severed Syrian man's head. British jihadists have been using teenagers' everyday communication tools, including smartphone apps and the question-and-answer website ask.fm, to persuade impressionable children as young as 15 to join them. Former student Reyaad Khan, 20, from Cardiff, made headlines when he appeared in a recruitment video for the Islamic State. His case particularly concerned observers as he was remembered by most school friends as a talented scholar who until recently held moderate views and mixed with people from all backgrounds. He once said he wanted to be Britain's first Asian Prime Minister. Threats: The message next to one of the images read: 'Teach your children to cut necks, tomorrow there will be a lot of rotten heads'. It comes amid fears over young people being radicalised through social media . Propaganda: Islamic State militants have swept through Iraq and Syria and spread fear through social media . Professor Nicholas O'Shaughnessy from Queen Mary University of London, who has studied Islamist communications and wrote Politics and Propaganda: Weapons of Mass Seduction, told MailOnline he believed the images were not aimed to corrupt children in themselves. But he said: 'The . images involve a child and therefore deliberately invoke the idea of . contaminating the innocence of children. 'They are a way of exploiting . the original death imagery in a new, creative and utterly foul manner.' 'It is so utterly sick and perverted and depraved that it guarantees global visibility: child abuse, pure and simple' - Professor Nicholas O'Shaugnessy . He added: 'It is so utterly sick and perverted and depraved that it guarantees global visibility: child abuse, pure and simple, it pushes other stuff to one side in a world where so much else is competing for our attention. 'The interesting question is why. This practice is so deeply alientating and it is founded in a belief in the supreme effectiveness of the fear appeal, forgetting of course that there are stronger motives than fear. 'Anger, for example, assassinates every other emotion and all ISIS are really doing is arousing universal rage against them such that we no longer see ISIS as human, but monsters to be slain, or cockroaches to be stamped on.' The photographs were posted on Friday after Twitter and Youtube vowed to launch a renewed crackdown on jihadi propaganda accounts. Several accounts circulating gruesome imagery were taken down almost as soon as they were launched, with jihadis switching to other less well-known social networks. Twitter chief executive Dick Costolo wrote on Wednesday: 'We have been and are actively suspending accounts as we discover them related to this graphic imagery. Thank you.' Some accounts, however, continued to gain followers and spread messages of hate. The Time for the Caliphate account was founded almost three years ago and showed no signs of halting its messages. Respected: U.S. journalist Foley was abducted in Syria in 2012 and fell into the hands of the terrorist group . It also received several messages of support in Arabic from other Islamic State supporters, thanking militants for 'defeating these traitors and tyrants' and putting 'terror into the hearts of the infidels'. It also received several messages of support in Arabic from other Islamic State supporters, thanking militants for 'defeating these traitors and tyrants' and putting 'terror into the hearts of the infidels'. Posting a photo of second U.S. journalist Steven Joel Sotloff - who appeared to be threatened in the slick execution video - the account used the hashtag #StevensHeadinObamasHands. On another still from the James Foley murder video, the account insisted that he was 'armed to the teeth and trying to corrupt the media'. That was despite a second image being posted of the aftermath of the murder, with the stark message: 'We will cut off your head, O soldiers of Satan like this.' A Twitter spokesman told MailOnline: 'We do not comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons.' Islamic State militants have swept through large regions of Iraq and Syria pledging to establish a 'Caliphate' which would enact a harsh interpretation of Sharia law. Extremists have hunted down religious minorities, from Christians to Shia Muslims and the little-known Yazidi group, and taken entire towns killing thousands of people.

As long as it doesn't get absorbed by something, then yes, light will continue to travel indefinitely. However, due to the expansion of the universe that light wave will get stretched out along with the space it travels through, becoming lower in frequency and energy. This is why the Cosmic Microwave Background, which began its existence as ~~gamma rays~~ visible light emitted very shortly after the Big Bang, has been reduced down to microwaves after traveling through space for ~13.8 billion years.

(CNN) -- The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution on Tuesday aimed at combating piracy along the Horn of Africa by allowing military forces to chase pirates onto land in cases of "hot pursuit." French troops on the lookout for pirates in the Gulf of Aden on November 25. Military forces from various countries, including the United States, are patrolling pirate-infested waters off Somalia, where attacks have surged this year. Nearly 100 vessels have come under fire, according to the International Maritime Bureau, and almost 40 vessels have been hijacked. The Security Council resolution, which passed unanimously, expands upon existing counter-piracy tools, including a stipulation that would allow for national and regional military forces to chase pirates onto land -- specifically into Somalia where many of the pirates are based. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was at the U.N. on Tuesday for a discussion of the piracy problem and the Security Council vote. "I wouldn't be here seeking authorization to go ashore if the U.S. government -- perhaps most importantly the president of the United States -- were not behind this resolution," Rice said after the vote. Asked if she thought U.S. troops would soon be on land chasing pirates, Rice would not speculate. "The United States is part of an international effort," she said. "We do have naval forces that have been involved in this effort. What this (resolution) does is to authorize that the boundary of the maritime cannot become a safe haven boundary for pirates. What we do -- or do not do -- in issues like hot pursuit, we'll have to see ... case by case." Earlier, in remarks to the Security Council, Rice described the growing problem of piracy off the coast of Somalia as "a symptom." "It's a symptom of the instability, the poverty, the lawlessness that have plagued Somalia for the past two decades," she said, adding that the Bush administration "does believe that the time has come for the United Nations to consider and authorize a peacekeeping operation." Asked about reports that two more ships were attacked by pirates this week, Rice said those show "the increasing problem that this is. The pirates are a threat to commerce, they are a threat to security and perhaps most importantly they are a threat to the principle of freedom of navigation on the seas." With increased patrols in the area by several countries, reports of exchanges of fire have become more frequent. In one of the most recent piracy attacks, Indian officials said Saturday they had captured 23 people suspected of trying to take over a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden. In addition to the 12 Somali and 11 Yemeni suspects, Indian navy officials also seized two small boats and "a substantial cache of arms and equipment," the Indian military said in a statement.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The most feared militant group in Iraq, the movement of terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, declared its allegiance to Osama bin Laden on Sunday, saying it had agreed with al-Qaida over strategy and the need for unity against "the enemies of Islam." The declaration, which began with a Quranic verse encouraging Muslim unity, said al-Zarqawi considered bin Laden "the best leader for Islam's armies against all infidels and apostates." It said the two had been in communication eight months ago and "viewpoints were exchanged" before the dialogue was interrupted. "God soon blessed us with a resumption in communication, and the dignified brothers in al-Qaida understood the strategy of Tawhid and Jihad," the statement said...

Squalene is a hydrocarbon and a triterpene, and is a natural and vital part of the synthesis of all plant and animal sterols, including cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D in the human body.Squalene is used in cosmetics, and more recently as an immunologic adjuvant in vaccines.Squalene has been proposed to be an important part of the Mediterranean diet as it may be a chemopreventive substance that protects people from cancer.qualene is a low density compound often stored in the bodies of cartilaginous fish such as sharks, which lack a swim bladder and must therefore reduce their body density with fats and oils.

Andy Serkis Serkis first came to wide public notice for his performance as Sméagol / Gollum, in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001–2003), for which he provided motion capture movements and voice for the CGI character. His work on The Lord of the Rings started a debate on the legitimacy of CGI-assisted acting. Some critics[15] felt Serkis should have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, since his voice, body language, and facial expressions were used. There is the argument that his CGI actions were partially, or in some cases fully, animated without his movements, but the same is true for actors in a traditional film with CGI. Serkis appears briefly in live action as pre-Gollum Sméagol at the beginning of The Return of the King, and the CGI Gollum's facial characteristics are fundamentally based on Serkis' own.

Seven teenagers were shot to death in Sacramento County last year, including a young man found dead in a relative’s garage and a popular Sacramento High School football player allegedly shot by a family friend. In Los Angeles, police tackled a wave of gang-related shootings and the number of homicides rose for the third straight year in 2016. Murders went up significantly in San Diego, San Jose and San Bernardino. More people were killed with guns in California last year than in any other year since 2008, new state figures show. Killers used guns in 1,368 California homicides in 2016, up by about 200 homicides from 2014, when killings fell to a historic low, according to the California Department of Justice. The firearm homicide rate, which adjusts for population changes, increased by 15 percent from 2014 to 2016. Guns were used in 72 percent of California homicides last year, while the number of homicides using other weapons fell slightly from 2015 to 2016, the state figures show. California’s gun homicide spike mirrored the nationwide trend. More than 11,000 people across the country were murdered with firearms last year, a 35 percent increase over 2014. California saw a bump in overall violent crime last year. But that trend was not on display locally. In the city of Sacramento, homicides decreased slightly in 2016 and a firearm was used in fewer than 60 percent of the homicides, a rate far below the state average, said Sgt. Bryce Heinlein, a Sacramento Police Department spokesman. Sacramento Police attributes this success to new technology. The department implemented a ShotSpotter program in Del Paso Heights in 2015 that uses microphones to detect gunfire, allowing officers to quickly respond when a gun is used. The city expanded the technology into South Sacramento in 2016 and is also planning to use it in Oak Park. The rise in gun-related homicides in California comes as gun sales reach new heights statewide and in the nation. California gun dealers processed 1.3 million gun sales last year, up by 450,000 from 2015. “Certainly since the Sandy Hook (school shooting in 2012), there has been a large number of gun sales and I think that the fear that there may be some gun control that might restrict gun buying has hugely made a difference in gun sales,” said Jennie Singer, an associate professor in the division of criminal justice at California State University, Sacramento. “The more guns that are simply available, physically on the streets and in the community, the more gun violence there will be.” Still, much of the increase in homicides came in large cities where gun sales per capita are low. Most gun-related crimes are committed by criminals using stolen or borrowed guns, according to several independent and government research studies. The state Department of Justice did not release county-level firearm homicide rates for 2016. But Sacramento County saw its gun-related homicide rate rise to the highest level in nearly a decade in 2015, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sacramento County homicides using all types of weapons declined slightly last year. Criminologists caution about reading too much into a few years of homicide increases, especially after decades of declines. Still, some law enforcement officials have cited Proposition 47, which passed in 2014 and reduced many nonviolent property and drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, as a reason for the rise. Most gun-related deaths in California aren’t homicides – they are suicides. The gun-related suicide rate has also risen in California during recent years, according to the CDC.

Novak Djokovic is disappointed not to be consulted over rule changes (Picture: Getty) Novak Djokovic admits he is ‘really frustrated’ that players have not been directly consulted over rule changes at Grand Slams. The US Open confirmed in April that a 25-second shot clock would be introduced from 2018 onwards, with Wimbledon set to follow suit. Djokovic is a notoriously slow player, so the change could have a dramatic effect on his game, but he says his frustration stems purely from the fact that there has been no communication from administrators. ‘I heard about that [the US open change] at the players’ council meeting some days ago,’ Djokovic said. ‘I obviously was not happy at all, just like all the other players in the council, for one very simple reason. Advertisement Advertisement ‘Not because of the shot-clock, we could discuss that. It’s because we as players are never reached out, never advised. Djokovic was speaking after his first-round Wimbledon win over Tennys Sandgren (Picture: Getty) ‘We are not participating in the conversation or decision-making. That’s something that is really frustrating, to be honest, from our perspective.’ Djokovic, speaking after his routine first-round win over Tennys Sandgren, added: ‘Absolutely no say. Whatever a Grand Slam decides to do, they have 100 per cent power to do that. ‘We’re not taking away that power or questioning that. We are just questioning why we are not approached, the actual people that make that show. ‘I think it’s just them reaching out to us prior to making these kind of decision that are going to affect the play. Djokovic could secure his third Wimbledon title this month (Picture: Getty) ‘It’s just important to have these conversations before you make any decisions.’ Three-time champion Djokovic made lightwork of his first-round encounter with Sandgren, winning 6-1 6-3 6-2 to set up a second round clash with Horacio Zeballos.

Mature Maltipoos may range in heights from 8 to 14 inches tall and weigh between 5 and 20 pounds. Because a significant difference in toy and miniature poodle heights is possible, you can expect the unexpected in hybrid cross offspring depending upon the size of the poodle. The AKC breed standard calls for a maximum height of 10 inches for the toy poodle, and allows heights up to 15 inches for miniature poodles. Mature Maltese dogs only grow to between 8 and 10 inches tall. The smaller the poodle in the mix, the smaller the hybrid puppies are likely to be.

Pretty good, though you kinda need to get into different mindsets to enjoy it, because of the fact that Japanese culture isnt the same as western culture so whats normal there is weird here.

The grant is being cut from £6.7m to £5m by 2020, but most of S4C's funding now comes from the BBC licence fee. The debate, in the Commons, will be led Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire Conservative MP Simon Hart. In December, Broadcasting Minister Ed Vaizey said S4C was well funded, with a "guaranteed income" of £90m a year.

I have read many books of this series but, to my surprise, apparently not the one in which Decker and Lazarus first meet. The Ritual Bath was both a good mystery story and very informative about aspects of the Jewish faith and life. I followed a red herring or two, jumped to at least one incorrect conclusion, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. You probably will too.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida defensive tackle Taven Bryan has decided to forgo his senior year and enter the NFL draft. Bryan announced his decision Monday on Twitter, saying coach Dan Mullen’s return to Gainesville “made this decision very difficult because I have the highest regard for him.” Bryan ultimately, though, chose to move on. The 6-foot-4, 291-pound junior from Casper, Wyoming, had 40 tackles and four sacks this season. His size, strength and quickness have NFL scouts projecting him to be an early round pick. Bryan is the second Florida player to turn pro since the season ended. Receiver Antonio Callaway, who was suspended for all of the 2017 season, signed with Atlanta-based agent Mel Bratton last week and hopes to get drafted. Callaway was one of nine Florida players suspended all season for alleged credit card fraud. Callaway and six others entered a pretrial intervention program that could result in the dismissal of felony charges. ___ More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25
