because it's not easy to achieve what they have done – lots of semi-finals, and a final, in the Champions League. They have changed a few players and coaches but their soul and spirit remain the same. Maybe they do not have the consistency for a league, but in competitions like this they are one of the best teams in the world. That's why they are semi-finalists.

In brass-wind musical instruments, sounds are initially produced by players pressing their lips against bell-shaped mouthpieces and blowing into the mouthpieces while maintaining their lips in a rigid configuration. The air passing through the rigid lips of the players causes the skin of the lip to resonate thereby resulting in a concentric column of air comprising a “buzzing” sound. As this column of buzzing air passes into the instrument, it flows through a series of tubes and valves comprising the instrument wherein it is amplified before it exits from the bell portion of the instrument thereby creating a tone. It is the series of sharp turns within the valves and tubes that generally alter the consistency of the density of the air column and have a negative effectSome of Britain's best-loved trees could be cloned in an effort to reproduce a range of our most successful and sturdy oaks, yews and firs.
The £2m scheme to reproduce and grow again all of Britain's biggest, oldest, tallest and most ecologically important trees has been devised by the US tree conservationist David Milarch, who hopes to reproduce all the UK's "super-trees" and then offer tens of thousands of their genetically identical offspring free to schools, cities and landowners. Famous trees that could be cloned include the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest where Robin Hood is said to have sheltered, a 3,000-year-old yew in Berkshire and a majestic 209ft fir in the Scottish Highlands.

The idea of a stand mixer was formulated by Herbert Johnson, an engineer working at the Hobart Corporation. He had been inspired after seeing a baker mix dough, and thought that there must be a better way of doing the task. Development began, in 1914, the model "H" mixer was launched for industrial work. The U.S. Navy ordered mixers for two new Tennessee-class battleships, theof the Second World War, the factory started up again in 1946 with production moving to Greenville, Ohio, to expand capacity.
The product range expanded beyond stand mixers for the first time in 1949, with dishwashers being introduced.[3]
In 1985, the company purchased the Chambers Company to incorporate its range of cookers into the KitchenAid brand.[1] After being cleared by a Federal appeals court in January 1986, Whirlpool Corporation were cleared to purchase KitchenAid after initial complaints regarding competition from dishwasher manufacturers White Consolidated Industries and Magic Chef were dismissed.[8] Refrigerators were added to the product line later in 1986.[1] The company used the popularity of celebrity chefs during the late 1980s to seize the chance to expand its customer range.

A trip to Fenway Park just got a little more expensive.
The Red Sox are raising their ticket prices by an average of 2.5 percent for the 2019 season, the club announced Thursday morning. The Sox also introduced a new price tier, called Diamond, for the six games of the season deemed highest in demand. Ticket prices for these selected contests will rise by an average of approximately 10 percent, while those for the remaining 73 home games — split amongst five price tiers — will rise by an average of 1.6 percent.
The two-game series against the New York Yankees that will take place in London was not included in the season calculations.
The Diamond tier for 2019 includes the home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays (April 9), twoclutches was the men’s doubles which went to local favourites Jung Jae Sung-Lee Yong Dae. China also won four titles in Kuala Lumpur last week.

He led his arch rival from the start but there was nothing separating them up to the half game interval where Lin Dan led 11-9.

Man vs. Wild's six regular second-season episodes will focus on three different geographic areas visited by Grylls, with each being the subject of two consecutive weeks of broadcasts. Episodes on November 9 and 16 will focus on the Sahara Desert; November 23 and 30 installments will document Panama's dense jungles; and the isolated plains and glaciers of Patagonis will be the center of the December 7 and 14 episodes.
"We continue to seek out new exciting and daring adventures for Bear, and he continues to do what he does best," said Discovery Channel president Jane Root. "From an expedition documentary to hands-on demonstrations of life-saving tips for viewers, Bear Grylls brings out the adventurer in all of us."
Grylls and Man vs. Wild recently received some criticism from themedia as well as fans. Following an investigation by the U.K.'s Channel 4 -- which broadcasts the reality series under the title Born Survivor: Bear Grylls in Britain -- Discovery Channel decided to air re-edited versions of Man vs. Wild's first season to acknowledge that some scenes in the unscripted series are staged.
While Discovery implemented a voiceover during segments of the re-edited first-season episodes in which viewers were originally led to believe Grylls didn't receive any off-camera assistance, second-season episodes were reportedly "edited from the get-go" to highlight the production crew's role in assisting Grylls. | {

According to Mexican promoter Osvaldo Küchle, the showdown between Mexico's Carlos 'Príncipe' Cuadras (36-1-1, 27 KOs) and his countryman Juan Francisco 'Gallo' Estrada (35-2, 25 KOs) is being targeted for September 9 in Los Angeles, as part of the HBO televised undercard for the rematch between Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
Back in April, the World Boxing Council ordered the two former world champions to face each other in a super flyweight world title eliminator. And the sanctioning body also ordered the rematch between Gonzalez and Sor Rungvisai, who battle for the WBC super flyweight title.
The WBC had initially ordered Cuadras to face the winner of the March world title fight between Sor Rungvisai and Gonzalez. But the controversy involved with the Sor Ringvisai vs.Gonzalez outcome created a big stir in the boxing world.
Sulaimán revised his prior order and instead issued a new one where Gonzalez will get a direct rematch against Rungvisai, and now Cuadras would have to face Estrada for the WBC's interim belt. And the winners of both contests will have to face each other.
Another fight being discussed for this card, would have Japan's Naoya Inoue would be making his United States debut by defending his World Boxing Organization super flyweight championship against Puerto Rico's McJoe Arroyo.
Küchle told ESPN Deportes that the fight between Cuadras and Estrada will be broadcast in Mexico by both Televisa and TV Azteca - becoming the first transmission the rival networks share without having Canelo Álvarez, Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao involved in the | {

Denver and St. Louis, beginning in March 1980 and ending in October 1981, the same year the epidemic became official.
In the mid-1980s the many blood specimens donated by the gay Manhattan men during the experiment were retrospectively examined for HIV infection by researchers at the NYBC. It was determined that 6% of the specimens donated between 1978-1979 were positive for HIV. By 1984 (the end of the study period) over 40% of the men tested positive for HIV.
The final fate of all the men in the experiment has never been revealed. However, the blood donated by these men are the oldest HIV-positive blood tests on record in the United States. The full story of this experiment and its aftermath are contained in my two books on man-made AIDS:AIDS and the Doctors of Death (1988), and Queer Blood (1993). One fact is obvious: There was no AIDS in America until the exact year the government began experimenting with gay men.
There is also a suppressed connection between the outbreak of AIDS in Africa and the widespread vaccine programs conducted by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the 1970s in Central Africa, particularly the smallpox eradication program. On May 11, 1987, London Times science writer Pearce Wright suggested the smallpox vaccine program could have awakened a “dormant” AIDS virus infection in Africa. Gallo was quoted as saying, “The link between the WHO program and the epidemic is an interesting and important hypothesis.

d.m. Richard M. Krill
Richard M. Krill, 72, a longtime professor of the classics and a chairman of the department of foreign languages at the University of Toledo who taught Latin to high school students after his retirement, died Jan. 15.
Mr. Krill of Toledo died at Sunset House of corticobasal degeneration, a progressive neurological disorder, said Mary Louise Krill, his wife of 47 years.
Mr. Krill’s university classes in the classics and humanities were extremely popular among students, said Karen Havens, a former student of Mr. Krill who herself taught the overflow classes of UT students who were shut out of his lectures.
“His standards were high,” said Ms. Havens, who went on to teach Latin and other courses at Start High School and St. Ursula Academy. “He was a fineteacher. He was very knowledgeable and tireless.”
Mr. Krill was born March 29, 1938, in Akron to Carl and Helen Krill. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from John Carroll University in Cleveland and his doctorate from St. Louis University in St. Louis, where he met his future wife.
He taught at universities in Syracuse, N.Y., and Columbia, Mo., before joining the University of Toledo in 1968 as a professor of classics and humanities. He retired from UT in 1999 after more than 30 years.
During his tenure at UT, he served as chairman of the department of foreign languages.
“He taught a couple of very popular courses in mythology and classic humanities,” Ms. Havens said.

The Nigerian city of Jos used to be seen as a peaceful place, but in 2001 it was struck by clashes that arose from what was largely understood as issues of ethnic and religious belonging. The event, which would become known as ‘the crisis’, was experienced as a rupture and a loss of what the city had once been, and as the starting point of a spiral of violence that has continued up to today. With the crisis, Jos changed. Former friends became enemies, and places that had been felt to be safe no longer were so. Previous truths were thrown into confusion, and Jos’s inhabitants found themselves more and more having to manoeuvre in an unstable world coloured by fear and anger. Life in Josduring times characterised by feelings of uncertainty, fragmentation, fear, and conflict – in Jos as a city and Nigeria as a nation.

Situated between the Zambezi River and the Angolan border, the district suffered harsh economic decline during the last decades of the 20th century, creating a demanding social environment for young people in need of its resources for livelihood, household formation, and marriage.

‘afternoon’ waters, and they fish them accordingly. This is a big mistake! Often these types of waters throw up huge fish at very unlikely times. Become too fixated with feeding times and you could be missing some exceptional catches. The 27-pounder, pictured above, was caught in the middle of the night on an ‘afternoon’ water. This fish was unknown to other anglers, but I caught it twice and both times it was around 3 am. Clearly for whatever reason, this huge fish, possibly the biggest in that water, was only feeding at night.
The only exception to the rule is rivers.

was strongly rejected by the District Council, and the government seemed to back off. Then in 2013 the Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism at the time made statements that the 1,500 km2 would be taken from the Maasai for a protected area – but he did this in a very roundabout way, pretending that the whole of Loliondo was protected and the Maasai would be generously ‘given’ the remaining land.
After many meetings and protest delegations to Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, Prime Minister Pinda in September of the same year revoked the threat in a speech – but this has still not been put in writing. In August 2012 the online petition site Avaaz had, without much explanation or detail, launched a petition against the threat posedby OBC, and this led to more international coverage that, while of great help, was unfortunately not always very fact-based.
The land occupied by Thomson is just outside the 1,500 km2 and adding to the problem. There are three Maasai sections in Loliondo – the Purko, the Loita and the Laitayok – and OBC has focused on working with Laitayok leaders to divide and rule. Thomson has done the same, and the same leaders that express support for OBC also do so for Thomson.

The VLJ questioned the Veteran on his secondary theory for service connection, and the Veteran stated that his shoulder injury occurred at the same time as his right knee injury, and that his shoulder did not cause or aggravate his right knee disability.
In June 2008, the Veteran underwent a VA joints examination. The examiner noted the Veteran's 1956 motor vehicle accident in service, and noted that the Veteran was hospitalized for a few days. The examiner noted chronic right knee pain, with intermittent right knee swelling and giving way. The Veteran was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the right knee. The examiner concluded that theindicated that the Veteran suffered a sprain two years prior. The examiner determined that the 1993 injury was nearly thirty-five years after the Veteran's original injury in-service, and that the Veteran's x-rays show degenerative changes due to age related changes.
In September 2011, the Veteran's representative submitted argument on behalf of the Veteran. The Veteran's representative asserts that the Veteran was sound upon entrance. The Veteran's representative also asserts that the Veteran's 1956 in-service motor vehicle accident was a severe traumatic event, and that the Veteran suffered from more ailments than was just recorded by medical providers.

A police officer has been fined over a "payback" assault on a 16-year-old girl in a cell at the Perth watch house where he pushed her, sat on her and tried to hit her.

The magistrate said his actions were a gross overreaction simply to punish the girl Barber was fined $2,500 but will not have a conviction recorded against his name
WA Police Senior Constable Andrew David Barber was immediately stood aside from operational duties after the assault, which took placeon the night of May 25.
It was recorded by CCTV cameras in the watch house building.
Barber, 36, pleaded guilty at his very first court appearance, with the Perth Magistrates Court told the teenager had been arrested in William Street in the city for attempted robbery.
She was taken back to the watch house and placed in a holding cell, the door of which Barber decided to leave open so she could get some fresh air.
Senior Constable Andrew Barber pushed the girl onto a concrete bench and sat on her. ( ABC News: Jon Sambell )
The court was told the girl was being abusive and trying to walk out of the cell, and when he tried to close the door she kicked it with her right foot, causing it to | {

Lessons from Japan
Back on January 29th, Bank of Japan announced a convoluted program of differential negative interest rates on deposits.
After the initially positive reaction, the entire game was up: yen rose (instead of falling), and Japan’s terms of trade deteriorated instead of improving. With the negative rates sitting on top of a USD700 billion annual money printing QE programme, yen appreciation was concentrated in two currencies (both the USD and renminbi) which account for most of the Japanese exports.

The investigation is now in its "most difficult phase", the Prosecutor wrote. "Booking progress at this stage is much more difficult."
The net is closing around the people responsible for the downing of flight MH17. Former Russian soldier Sergej Doebinski was identified on audio recordings as the person who arranged the transport of the BUK missile that shot down the Malaysia Airlines flight in eastern Ukraine, RTL Nieuws reports.
Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta spoke to the person who identified Doebinski. Doebinski is an old acquaintance of the man and he recognized his voice. At the time of the MH17 disaster, Doebinski was fighting with separatists against the Ukrainian army.

Despite promising to do so, Russia still has not handed over radar images of the disaster with flight MH17, the Ministry of Security and Justice announced on Tuesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry promised the Dutch ambassador on October 3rd that the radar images will be transferred to the Joint Investigation Team

The anatomy of the ligaments of the wrist and distal radioulnar joints.
The ligaments of the wrist are responsible for guiding and constraining the complex motion of the carpal bones relative to the forearm bones, the metacarpals, and contiguous carpal bones. The majority of wrist ligaments are found within the joint capsule as organized thickenings composed of parallel collagen fascicles, small caliber nerves and blood vessels, and lined on their deep surfaces by synoviocytes. The palmar radiocarpal ligament complex is composed of the radioscaphocapitate, long radiolunate, radioscapholunate and short radiolunate ligaments. The ulnocarpal ligaments include the ulnolunate, ulnotriquetral and ulnocapitate ligaments. Dorsally, the radiocarpal joint is spanned by the dorsal radiocarpal ligament. Palmar ligaments connecting the proximal and distal carpal rows include the scaphotrapeziotrapezoid, scaphocapitate, triquetrocapitate and triquetrohamate ligaments.SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains very minor spoilers for IT Chapter Two.

Transantarctic disjunctions in Schistochilaceae (Marchantiophyta) explained by early extinction events, post-Gondwanan radiations and palaeoclimatic changes.
The liverworts are the first diverging land plant group with origins in the Ordovician. The family Schistochilaceae exhibits diverse morphology and widely disjunct geographic ranges within the Southern Hemisphere. The family has been presented as a classic example of Gondwanan biogeographic distribution, with extant species ranges resulting from vicariance events. In this study, we present results that elucidate the origin and diversification of Schistochilaceae. We conducted a comprehensive time-calibrated, molecular-based phylogenetic analysis and different approaches for ancestral range inference of the family. Schistochilaceae is inferred to have originated in the Late Cretaceous, in an ancestral area including southern South America, West Antarctica and New Zealand. Despite a family origin at c. 100Ma, most ofthe diversification of Schistochilaceae occurred in New Zealand after the 80Ma opening of the Tasman Sea that isolated New Zealand from the rest of Gondwana. Most dispersals were transoceanic. The northward migration of the Schistochilaceae is probably linked with the spread of temperate vascular plant forest ecosystems that have Late Cretaceous southern origins and have maintained suitable environments for the family throughout the Cenozoic. The distribution and biogeographic history of the family is very similar to that of Nothofagaceae. | {

Scientist Dr Hugh Spencer, who established the Cape Tribulation Tropical Research Station with Brigitta Flick, says the trees are uncommon in the lowlands but are in much higher numbers in the upland areas such as Wongabel state forest near Atherton.
Preferred habitat
The trees are opportunistic and will often sprout up at the scene of a major disturbance such as a cyclone or cleared area of forest. They like sunny areas protected from the wind and are often found along the edges of streams, walking tracks and roadways through the forest.

Trump's lawyers last month asked to transfer the case to L.A., claiming Daniels filed in New York in order to avoid interference with her Los Angeles suit seeking to void a nondisclosure agreement she signed with former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed the New York defamation lawsuit against Trump in April.

Colonel Stevenson did not reply to this gratuitous slur on his character, made in the privileged sanctuary of the Congress. He was fully occupied trying to enlist, equip, and train more than seven hundred men in one month for a strategic expedition that would have done credit to Hannibal—for, of course, the regiment was by no means “about to sail.” It existed only in Colonel Stevenson’spatriotic dreams. The day after his announcement, the colonel put a notice in the New York papers, inviting volunteers to come down to the state arsenal on White Street and sign up; and, on the sixth, a militia captain named Seymour Steele set up a recruiting desk at Stoneall’s Hotel, a favorite meeting place for Democratic ward heelers. Governor Silas Wright, although he disliked Stevenson almost as much as he did Polk and Marcy, agreed to assign to the regiment several volunteer companies that had been forming upstate.

Li is alleged to have used free email accounts through SINA.com and Yahoo! China to make contact with an overseas representative of the outlawed China Democracy Party (CDP) beginning in 2001. Having expressed his agreement with the CDP platform, Li received a membership certificate, which he saved on his computer, and was given responsibility for local organizing activity. Among Li's alleged recruits was a middle-school student surnamed Ying, to whom he sent CDP documents and instructions for how to join the party.
Li was alsoof the Dazhou court, claiming that he had only been allowed to meet with his defense attorney shortly before his trial was set to open, making it impossible to develop an adequate defense. In Li's second trial, acclaimed defense lawyer Zhang Sizhi pointed to evidence from the case file to suggest that Li's email accounts may have been used by a suspected police informant whom Li befriended after meeting online. Although Li's attorneys made a vigorous defense in which they raised a number of questions about the prosecution's use of its electronic evidence, the Sichuan Higher People's Court decision on February 26, 2004, rejected the defense submission with hardly any comment and upheld the original eight-year verdict.

Elizabeth Belle, the daughter of a West Indian slave, who was adopted into the family of William Murray, the Earl of Mansfield and Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.
It’s a sweet love story. It is an interesting picture of the life of the 18th century British aristocracy, and the interplay of race and social rank. And the real Belle must have been a remarkable person. BUT:
It is less than just to Lord Mansfield, who is depicted as an old fogy who needed to be prodded by idealistic young people to do the right thing.
Lord Mansfield was an opponent of slavery who, as a judge, was faced with the fact that slavery was established in law. Only a naive person would think that he was in a positionto abolish slavery simply by decree. But he established judicial precedents, within the existing law, that weakened slavery.
Mansfield in the movie is shown as reluctantly accepting the child Belle into his household because she is the illegitimate daughter of his nephew, Admiral Sir John Lindsey. In fact he was not reluctant at all, and Belle was not a blood relation. She was the daughter of a pregnant mulatto woman liberated from a Spanish ship that Lindsey captured in war.
The movie focuses on the Zong case, in which Mansfield ruled against owners of a slave ship who claimed insurance compensation for chained slaves overboard on a voyage.
The Somersett case, in which Mansfield ruled that a runaway slave need not return to his master, was much more significant. Mansfield’s decision | {

From May 14 to 16, researchers from the faculties of Science and Humanities participated in six events over two venues: The Phoenix pub on campus, and the West Town Bar and Grill on Locke Street. Topics ranged from music cognition to addiction to stellar nurseries as well as others related to the year’s research themes: astronomy, physics and neuroscience.
Organized by Florence Roullet, an assistant clinical professor in the department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences, and grad students Sawayra Owais and Thanassis Psaltis, the events were hugely popular, with four of the six talks sold out in advance.

About Comeback Kid
Comeback Kid (commonly abbreviated as CBK) is a hardcore punk band from Winnipeg, Canada. Their name comes from a headline in a newspaper about hockey player, Mario Lemieux coming back to the NHL. The band was formed in 2002 by Andrew Neufeld and Jeremy Hiebert who were both members of the band Figure Four, which is currently on hiatus. They were joined by their friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profetta, but CBK was originally intended only to be a side project. Their initial popularity was mainly due to word of mouth within the metalcore/hardcore scene. The band released Turn It Around on Facedown Records in 2003 before moving to Smallman Records in Canada and Victory Records in the rest of the world the following year. InJuly 2004 Comeback Kid and Figure Four both performed at the 3 day indoor festival Hellfest held at the Rexplex in New Jersey. The played on day 2, Saturday the 24th of July. In February 2005 Comeback Kid released their second album, "Wake the Dead" . After some long tours, the band began recording their third album "Broadcasting..." in 2006. Vocalist Scott Wade parted ways with the band due to stress from touring shortly before the writing of "Broadcasting..." Guitarist Andrew Neufeld took vocal responsibilities after Scott's departure, with guitarist Casey Hjelmberg taking over for Neufeld. In 2007 bassist Kevin Call parted ways with the band. He was replaced by Matthew Keil. In 2008 A Cd/Dvd was released called "Through The Noise" Which is a line from the | {

of which jurisdiction was not given to the court at Muscogee. If Congress did not intend to bring the Public Land Strip within the jurisdiction of the court established for the Indian Territory, and, for certain judicial purposes, within the jurisdiction of the courts held at Paris, in the Eastern District of Texas, why did it declare that the Indian Territory, for which it legislated in the act of 1889, was bounded on the west "by the State of Texas and the Territory of New Mexico?" We cannot hold the words, "and the Territory of New Mexico," to be meaningless, simply because the northern boundary of that strip was not described with precision and fulness; especially as every consideration of policy demanded that that part of the publicby the United States should be delivered yearly in July to those tribes, collectively, at or in the vicinity of Beaver Creek, a large part of which is within the Public Land Strip. By another treaty with those tribes, October 18, 1865, 14 Stat. 717-721, the United States agreed that a certain district of country, or such parts as the President should from time to time designate, should be and was set apart for their "absolute and undisturbed use and occupation," and that of "such other friendly tribes" as had theretofore "resided within said limits, or as they may from time to time agree to admit among them, and that no white person, except officers, agents and employés of the government, shall go upon or settle within the | {

"river Muslims" of Bangkok. Recently, a leading imam voiced his opposition to the Red Shirts. During last year's street fighting, deadly political clashes erupted outside a major mosque. Those shootings were payback for Thaksin's war on drugs, which had focused on Muslim-run drug-trafficking networks. Throughout Southeast Asia, coastal and river navigation is dominated by Muslims with their seafaring tradition. Informal commerce - smuggling - is a natural part of that profession
Thus the most alarming prospect for Thai street politics is the widening religious divide. Most analysts have overstated the role of Shinawatra as tycoon, ignoring the fact of his being a devout Buddhist aligned with the powerful Dhammakaya movement. During the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, this monastic community famously collected gold jewelry to enable Thailand to payoff its debts to the IMF. Quietly, Dhammakaya was a major force in the formation of the populist Thai Rak Thai, which has since evolved under different names after repeated banning by the electoral commission.
The present impasse with its resort to violence could trigger an open showdown between Thailand's two major religious communities. In event of an ongoing, religion-fueled civil war, it’s certain which side will win. Unless a truly representative Parliament can be elected and restored soon, the politics of the street will inexorably lead to Buddhist domination, much like what has happened in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. In Sri Lanka, a similar alliance between the post-colonial elite and a minority religion led to the downfall of both. Anyone still naive enough to believe in Buddhist pacifism | {

South Central Palenque includes the Temple of the Jaguar and the areas designated the Blue Wood Group and the Schele Terraces. The foot trail leading to the village of Naranjo cuts between the group as it winds up the mountain side.
At the northern end of the Blue Wood Group, Temple XXIV stands 12 meters in height. Descriptively named "Inscriptions Prospect", Temple XXIV looks down over the Temple of the Inscriptions. Extending from its north side are four large terraces which stair-step down the steep hillside to the back of Temple XII.
Today, when one stands in front of the Temple of Inscriptions they see the temple's roof comb with wooded hillside towering above. Temple XXIV and its northern terraces, now covered, would have made the entire hillside appear asone massive temple, dwarfing the Temple of Inscriptions below. (Photo)
The rest of the Blue Wood Group snakes back to the south following the shape of the flat ridge top and arranged around two main structures, Temples XXV and XXVI.
Temple XXVI is in an excellent state of preservation. A measured drawing of its exposed architecture was made and incorporated into the map. A similar drawing made by Blom demonstrates the building was in the same condition at least as early as 1923.
On the northeast corner of Temple XXVI's frontal patio lies Stela 3. Broken, fallen, and uncarved, it was easily over looked by earlier projects. Though fragmented and eroded, its dimensions can be estimated at 2.5m high, 70cm wide, and 40cm thick.

Putting the face of the singer behind a mask full of diverse references: the Barnum circus, The Garden of Earthly Delights by Jerome Bosch, etc, it makes the singer an actor of the history of art and performance and a receptacle of popular culture.

On the cartel, the artist says:
‘They are, in my eyes, the two extremes of the same continuum, and not the representatives of two distinct modernisms. They lived the modern myth of the cursed artist until the end. (…) Charles was the first of the modernists and the last of the romantics, Michael was maybe the last of the modernists (no one, after him, will be able to aspire to this grandeur with this perfect lack of irony) but he maybe also was the first of the post-modernists. Will we ever know such symbol of globalization, pure product of the mercantile power?’

Galopin (1879-1944). Before and during WWII, Galopin was head of Union Minière in Congo and Société Générale de Belgique. King Leopold III had chosen Galopin to reorganize the Belgian economy after the German invasion. The official story goes that several months before the allies invaded Normandy, Galopin gained access to a list of industrialists who worked with the Nazis. On February 28, 1944, he was assassinated. Pierre was a director of Société Générale de Belgique from 1951 to 1962. In 1954, Pierre de Bonvoisin attended the first Bilderberg Conference along with Paul van Zeeland (son-in-law has been named a key plotter in the aborted 1973 fascist coup in Belgium, together with an agent of Vanden Boeynants and Benoit de Bonvoisin, Army Major Jean Bougerol). He attended several otherBilderberg conferences. Chairman of the Banque du Congo Belge. President of the Belgian International Chamber of Commerce.

cover in central midfield, He is adept at playing in a deeper midfield role, should Gerrard or Jack Wilshere breakdown. Both are prone to knocks and niggling re-occurring injuries, so Barkley could feature prominently. I would choose Ross Barkley ahead of James Milner, who for me is far too conservative. I'd also go with Jordan Henderson, who is developing into an exciting young player. It's taken a while but he could be the surprise player in the England camp, as he finally fulfills the promise he showed during his time at Sunderland between 2009 and 2011. I think he is going to have a cracking end to the season at Liverpool — and I think he deserves his place as a squad member, although not necessarily as aflank is the reason I choose to go with five strikers, therefore broadening the attacking options, particularly when chasing a game. He can play wide left of a three, he works hard for the team and is good in the air. His club form may be a concern, but for his country he remains a real threat.
Up front Jermaine Defoe is the best impact striker substitute we have, and although he has had little game time at Spurs this season, you always feel he is somebody who will get you a goal.

and said he was baffled as to why anyone, especially an African-American
man, "would use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations." "How
could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with that symbol
and see an opportunity to manipulate that symbol to further his own public
profile?" Johnson said. "How could this individual who has been embraced
by the city of Chicago turn around and slap everyone in this city in the
face by making these false claims?"
Think there isn't indeed
a serious
systemic problem in Chicago law enforcement as well as
throughout the country? NPR reports:
"When a fellow officer
dies, Chicago police wear black bands around their badges as a sign of
mourning. At least five Chicago officers have taken their own lives since
July."
Think that isn't aserious
problem? Indicative of massive systemic failure within law enforcement?
This remains of great public concern because we as a society cannot live
without law enforcement. Someone has to haul in the criminal element,
hold them accountable. The problem occurs when law enforcement becomes
the criminal element. Does so on a massive scale. As we are
now experiencing throughout our formerly great country.

activists then make use of this information to promote a boycott and isolation of
Israel. Boycott-supporting activists are agitating Palestinian residents of the
West Bank, inciting them against the IDF forces and disrupting military
operations.” It was estimated that
“there are several hundred such foreign activists, who enter either through Ben
Gurion Airport or via the Allenby Bridge, and pretend to be tourists. Some
activists are leaving after a short stay, but some remain in the West Bank for
long periods".
Therefore, Ministers Gilad Erdan and Aryeh Deri resolved to establish a joint team tasked with preventing such activists
getting through passport control and expelling those who already managed to enter
the country. Among other things, the team will collect intelligence on foreign
activists who are in the country in order to establish a judicial casecountries for a
period of three months, after a training in their home country which includes ways
of dealing with the military and briefing to get into Israel. When arriving,
they get a further briefing and then go into the field, wearing brown vests
with the program logo. They are deployed at the crossings and points of
friction, and even in the Old City of Jerusalem, and make one-sided documentation
of alleged Israeli violations. At a peak
moment activists positioned themselves at the Wailing Wall and documented the

to their home countries and promote various anti-Israeli campaigns at the explicit

He is a fine improviser and his extra voice in the arrangements has brought a completely new dimension to the band’s repertoire. The rhythm section is completed by Tom Bull on double bass and Steve Laffy (or sometimes Nick Millward) on drums both of whom are popular experienced musicians on the jazz scene. They both have a special ear for detail which, when coupled with Graham’s expressive piano, provides the perfect foundation for the band.
Jucamaya regularly performs at jazz venues, mainly in the midlands. In 2007 they played at the Coventry Jazz Festival and in Sept 2008 they played at Symphony Hall, Birmingham as part of the Rush Hour Blues Programme, and here theyreceived a warm reception. There is a distinctive latin edge to much of the band’s material, but Jucamaya can also swing as well as any other band. Audiences are in no doubt about the enthusiasm and commitment of all five musicians.
A major milestone was reached in 2008 with the release of the quintet’s first album Thinking of Joe. The album is dedicated to remembering Joe Zawinul who sadly died the day before the recording session. It features Graham’s original compositions, one of which was written specifically with the style of Weather Report in mind.
Jucamaya's second album, Curious Terrain, was released in Sept 2009 and features more compositions by Graham and three jazz standards, ranging from the energetic to the introspective.

Upon being asked where his wife was, appellant stated that she was lying on the floor in the bedroom, whereupon Officer Kelly proceeded to the bedroom and found the body of the deceased lying on the floor and also found an open suitcase and some boxes containing ladies clothingin the room.
The evidence shows that the deceased's body contained four bullet wounds of entrance and that the cause of death was gunshot wounds to the head and heart.
*874 It was the state's theory that the appellant shot his wife when she was preparing to leave him and then shot himself in the arm so as to make it appear that she had shot him.
As a witness in his own behalf appellant denied that his wife was preparing to leave him on the morning in question and stated that she shot him. Appellant testified that when his wife fired the shot, he grabbed her by the hand; that a struggle ensued in which he ended up with the gun but that he did not remember what happened. Appellant | {

InBoxing legend Mike Tyson has revealed plans for a massive cannabis-themed resort in the grounds of his sprawling California ranch.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world has experienced huge success with his cannabis company Tyson Holistic Holdings, launched in 2016. The ranch grows several strains of high-grade marijuana which it uses in dozens of off-the-shelf products.
Now, however, the 53-year-old has tabled plans for his 407-acre resort which will include a hotel, spas, lodges, a glamping park, and the world’s longest lazy river snaking its way around the entire park as a means of getting around.
The ambitious plans also contain an events area to host annual marijuana and music festivals, as well as “Tyson University” which the ex-boxer hopes to dedicate to degree-style courses on teaching agriculture to | {

found a way to make it work.
The Buccaneers finished the season with league average marks in total yardage, points scored, and passing yards, as well as the 11th-ranked passing offense, per Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric. Even on third down, the Bucs were one of the best offenses in the league, finishing with the sixth-best conversion rate. Converting red zone trips into touchdowns was a struggle for the Buccaneers, but Winston didn’t throw a single red zone interception in 2016, and he consistently gave the Bucs chances to score.
The ball placement on both of these passes is perfect. In both examples, Winston has to put enough arc on the ball to get it over the linebacker, but put enough heat on it in order to fit the window betweendangerous situation. Instead of turning and firing to the backside post in one swift action, Winston puts his weight on his back foot and pauses in the pocket for a brief moment. That brief moment was all it took for the safety to realize the backside post was the only other threat in his area, so he pounced on the untimely throw and picked it off.
There is a fine line between when Winston’s aggressive anticipation does or does not work out, and Winston needs to continue building his understanding of where the line is. He orchestrated more perfect throws than he did as a rookie, but also got himself into more trouble than was affordable. In that same vein, Winston was far more aggressive in 2016 than he | {

sets up numerous grounds for denial of any rights claimed by him and several affirmative contentions why it has no responsibility to the plaintiff.
It is conceded that plaintiff's employment was terminated by the defendant upon the sole ground that he had reached the age of 65 years, and the defendant asserts it had the right to do so despite the labor agreement because it had, some years earlier, adopted and put into uniform practice a policy of retiring all of its employees at the age of 65 years, regardless of their physical fitness to continue with the work they were doing at the time. Although this right or policy was not incorporated or reserved in the labor contract, the defendant relies upon its claimed right of retention ofSteelworkers of America on May 18, 1946, a sufficient authorization in this instance. It would be ignoring realities to hold that the plaintiff who already had been notified of his retirement on May 17, 1946, and whose employment was finally terminated on May 31, 1946 impliedly accepted Union authority created by an amendment to its constitution and not to be exercised until years later when he was no longer an active member. Substantial rights can not be disposed of by such technical niceties.
It does not seem to me that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Burley case, supra, is sufficient authority to sustain the Resolution of the Union Convention so as to wipe out the accrued rights of employees by subsequent action. It is | {

in 2042, Heim said.
Most Bay Area counties reflected the state's shifting numbers - Alameda County, for example, dropped from 41 percent white to 36 percent - while showing spikes in Hispanic, Asian and multirace categories.
Yet, San Francisco's racial mix remained consistent. Forty-four percent of the city was white in 2008, 30 percent was Asian and 14 percent was Hispanic, just as it was in 2000. Only the city's African American population showed a slight decline, from 7 percent to 6 percent.
Below replacement level
Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of California, said white women in recent decades have tended to pursue higher-education degrees and stay in the workplace, leading them to have fewer children. The white population is now "below the replacement" level, Johnson said. "They'resimply not replacing themselves."
The median age among California's whites is 44, while the median age for the Hispanic population is 28, according to the study.
"This is a good look at what happens when your housing prices get way out of line with the rest of the nation," Levy said. "It will be interesting to see what happens when the market corrects itself."
Reverse of a trend
Johnson said migration into California was a national trend until the 1990s, when the number of out-of-state transplants began to decline.
Lower-paid California workers headed to cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas and Seattle, where they could make similar wages but pay less for housing.
"California is no longer attracting large numbers of people from other states," Johnson said. "And a lot of those who did come | {

SAECRED SPIRIT - New exciting Swedish female fronted project.
The year is2024... For several billion years the universe has been governed by forces of equal strength and gravity, and equal parts good and evil. But times are about to change with the discovery of a previously unknown massive black hole in our solar system that threatens to devour everything that ever was and ever will be.
As the spiral of dark matter and darkness continues to rotate and close in on the fate of existence; hope is not lost with the unveiling of: “The Ashen Bridge”; a gateway to salvation created in the dreams of the young; the innocent children of the world that know no selfishness, only love.
When they cry out for help at the brink of destruction; somebodyIt’s rare but ever so refreshing when social justice warriors are told to shove it. It should happen more often.
So hats off to the University of Alabama School of Law (its former and once again name) for returning a $21.5 million donation to Hugh Culverhouse Jr. after he had called on businesses to boycott the state and students to boycott the university and law school that he was bankrolling. The law school also ditched the name The Hugh J. Culverhouse Jr. School of Law and returned to the name it long held before the Culverhouse largess and his attack on the school and state.
What led to this incoherent action on the part of Culverhouse, a Boca Raton real estate attorney, investor, and philanthropist, was the very strict anti-abortion | {

dead. At night
he fed him I-V fluids to keep
him hydrated and to keep his
strength up and he washed
and bathed him. Everyone
in the castle thought he was
dead. Great was the sorrow
therein. Masses were said
daily. The young artists cried
while they worked.
The Germans, in number
now, lined up outside .the fort.
The narrow mountain roads
leading up to the fort would
not allow a big artillery piece
or a large tracked vehicle, or
a Tiger Tank to get close for a
good shot. The peak on which
the fortress was built was very
high. The task was daunt-
ing. Only infantry carrying
bazookas and mortars could
get close, and they didn't dent
the walls and they dared NOT
aim at the windows, sealed
with valuable plywood mas-
terpieces.
An infantry officer appeared,
rang the bell and waited. By this
time, he had made several tries
to get in by negotiation. The
doorboomed,
"You Shall Not Pass!"
He stayed in that position
of crucifixion WITH the strong
light in his face. The SS Cap-
tain recognized Serverino,
whom he knew was dead. A
feeling of dread overcame him.
He wished he was in Russia.
For the remainder of the
week the Nazi SS troopers
moved around listlessly in
front of the fort. They were not
happy to be entertained by the
ghostly apparition of Serverino.
They asked the Captain about
Epstein Barr virus. Was it
contagious?
"Yes, I think so," said the
young officer although he
didn't know a thing about it
except you could die from it.
NOT one of the troopers was
ready to penetrate the thick
walls and expose themselves
to the Epstein Barr virus. They
would rush the walls once, in a
half-hearted try, then fall back
and report failure. The ghost
did not appear again.

Finally, Ford claims error in the exclusion of testimony designed to impeach Comparato by showing a prior inconsistent statement. Comparato had testified that he saw Fortunato's car erupt with flames from the inside before it struck the bridge, but Ford claims that Comparato had previously told one of its investigators, John Hughes, that he first saw flames outside the Mustang before it hit the bridge and then flames also appeared inside after the car had hit the retaining wall and the divider. Hughes died, however, prior to trial, and Ford attempted to get in the impeaching testimony through Donald Conway, who testified that he was presentmight well have persuaded the jury to conclude that the plaintiff had failed to sustain his burden. This error was compounded by grossly improper and prejudicial comments by plaintiff's counsel in his summation, some of which were approved by the trial court. The effect was to deny Ford substantial rights. I would therefore remand the case for retrial.

Plaintiff's claim is that enough gasoline vapor to cause an explosion escaped through a pinhole in the top of the "drop-in" gas tank of his Mustang, seeped through or around the mat on the floor of the trunk, collected on the floor of the passenger compartment, despite the fact that one of the windows was open, and erupted into flames when he attempted to use the automobile's cigarette | {

parks are a national treasure, the National Park Service says compliance with the ozone pollution threshold is a state issue. And just like with disastrous Animas River spill in August, the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't levy fines against itself, so the parks will continue to operate as usual unless the states somehow find a way to curtail the smog.
"States are responsible for implementing the provisions of the Clean Air Act," said Jeffrey Olson, chief of education and outreach at the National Park Service. "They will eventually have to put plans in place to show how they can come into compliance with violations of the ozone standard."
On Oct. 1, the ozone pollution standard was lowered from 75 to 70 parts per billion, thrusting 241 counties nationwide onto the non-compliancelost jobs."
"Much of the pollution is from vehicles, but it also depends on the location of the park," said Dave Clegern, spokesperson for the California Air Resources Board. "Some of the recent pollution has been from wildfires, some drifts in from out of state."
Even though the National Park Service says power plants are mostly to blame, most of the non-compliant parks are located in the West, far from the coal-fired power plants dotting the eastern part of the country.
"I'm not talking about car or truck traffic but pollutants that are transported by prevailing winds," said Olson, of the National Parks Service. "For example, pollutants from a coal-fired electrical generating station are carried by prevailing winds long distances away from the plant and have an effect on air quality | {

Midnight eventually moved out of the family home. It was during this time that she fell into the worship of Mystra. Midnight attracted the attentions of Mystra during her time of service in the temple. From her 21st year on she began to feel a presence from time to time. She would feel her skin tingle cooly and felt that she was somehow being followed or observed. After such attentions, she always found that spells which she had laboured over for weeks would suddenly workwithout any problem. Midnight suspected that she had been granted special attention of the goddess herself and believed that she was being groomed for the position of Magister.
Sunlar, high priest of the Deepingdale temple of Mystra, took her under his supervision. It was during this time that Midnight's knowledge of self-defense and magic improved leaps and bounds. Midnight spent a year in the temple at Deepingdale before she left. For the next three years she devoted herself to Mystra's worship and pursued every scrap of magic she could.
During the Time of Troubles, when the gods were cast down by Ao, Midnight joined with Kelemvor Lyonsbane, Cyric and Adon in the search for the Tablets of Fate. Eventually Ao selected Midnight to replace the destroyed Mystra. | {

they had been summarily and hastily removed. At that point it became clear that they were prisoners of the state.
Modern day Adrianople (Edirne, Turkey)
From Adrianople Baha’u’llah sent a message of stern rebuke to the Persian ambassador, upbraiding him for this unjust treatment and boldly asserting the ultimate triumph of God’s Cause.
Once again Baha’u’llah found himself, his followers and his family banished, this time to Ottoman-held Europe.
His arrival marked the first time in recorded history that the founder of a world religion had set foot on the European continent. Moses, Christ, and Muhammad had all spent the entirety of their lives in the Middle East, although in due course each of the religions they founded has had a profound impact upon the West.
Baha’u’llah predicted that the same pattern wouldof the Babi Faith. The community of believers had survived a series of devastating calamities, including the martyrdom of the Bab, the deaths of thousands of his followers, the banishment of Baha’u’llah from his native land, and now his further banishment to the remote city of Adrianople. In spite of it all, the persecuted faithful had steadily regained their spirit and their sense of purpose.
From this point on, despite mounting hardships, crises and imprisonment, the Baha’i Faith would grow into the newest of the world’s great religions.
The opinions and views expressed in this article are those of the author only and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of BahaiTeachings.org or any institution of the Baha’i Faith.

its primacy and requires the political loyalty of all ethnic Chinese, this could put emigrants and their offspring in a difficult place.
In many Southeast Asian countries, ethnic Chinese dominate large swaths of the economy, disproportionate to their numbers, and this often leads to tensions with non-Chinese residents. Many of these residents have not forgotten how, under Chairman Mao, China supported communist insurgencies in their countries.
In a recent government reshuffle, the Communist Party's United Front Work Department took over responsibilities of a cabinet office in charge of overseas Chinese affairs. Critics accuse the party department of masterminding foreign influence operations.

soldiers were in a line of four. When the disguised soldiers
reached the Malay Regiment's defence line, C Coy's squad opened
fire on them with their Lewis machine guns. Some of the Japanese
troops were killed and the rest badly wounded. Those who survived
rolled and crawled downhill to save themselves.
Two hours later, the Japanese launched an all-out assault in great
numbers. The attack overwhelmed the strength of the Malay Regiment.
Greatly outnumbered and short of ammunition and supplies, the
Malay Regiment continued to resist the Japanese troops. All kinds
of arms such as grenades, small arms and bayonets were used by
troops of the Malay Regiment. It was reported that 2LT Adnan handled
a Lewis machine gun against the Japanese troops. Some soldiers
engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat using bayonets. Yet, they
stood their ground frustrating their enemy. Inthe ensuing battle,
men and officers fell. 2LT Adnan was seriously wounded but he
refused to retreat and instead encouraged his men to fight to
the last. It was this disregard of danger that inspired the coy
to stand up gallantly.
Mubin Sheppard, an ex-officer and former POW, had this to say
about his friend, the late 2LT Adnan, "He was heavily outnumbered
by the Japanese they bombed him but he fought on fiercely and
inflicted heavy losses on them. Adnan would have never surrendered
under any circumstances. He was absolutely dedicaded. In fact,
just before fighting, he adopted a motto for his platoon, "biar putih tulang, jangan putih mata" (death before dishonour).

Mrs. Levingston admits that subsequent to her marriage to Mr. Levingston that she was on the construction site at least two or three times per week, and that she was *939 fully aware that the construction project was being enhanced by the additions.
The additions do not appear to be included as a part of the original contract.

In the same article, site work and a driveway were specifically excluded.

Collins admitted that he did not approach either Mr. or Mrs. Levingston about the balance owing under the contract until on or about October 7, 1986, when he discussed the amount due with Stanley Levingston. He did not send a final bill to Mrs. Levingston until December, 1986, the month after Mr. Levingston was killed. Collins stated that he did not press the issue of payment because of several reasons: substantial payment toward the total contract had already been made; he had no knowledge that Mrs. Levingston had | {

Nose-picking is an extremely widespread habit: some surveys indicate that it is almost universal, with people picking their nose on average about four times a day. A 1995 study of nose-picking, requesting information from 1,000 randomly selected adults, gathered 254 responses. It defined nose-picking as "the insertion of a finger (or other object) into the nose with the intention of removing dried nasal secretions". Of those who responded, 91% said they were current nose-pickers (but only 75% of these believed everyone did it), and two respondents claimed to spend between 15 and 30 minutes and between one and two hours a day picking their noses.

handed down by father or grandfather, few would argue that the finest days of railway travel began towards the end of the steam era and carried on into the period of nationalisation. BR continued to build steam locomotives on a grand scale, even manufacturing machines to the old companies’ designs, while many pre-Grouping locomotives were still busily at work. In the last days of steam many expresses were both heavier and faster, and used by a much wider cross-section of the population. And despite the pressures to conform, traditional practices and the individuality of the different parts of the railways still persisted. It is this era that The Trains We Loved evokes: the sights and sounds — even the smells — of the glory days of rail travelin Britain.
David St John Thomas and Patrick Whitehouse have produced an expansive text, rich in atmosphere but based on sound research and with substantial reference value. Portraits of the six regions and Ireland alternate with fascinating insights into how rail traffic was affected by the seasons, and the significance of holiday and school specials. Glimpses into station life shed light on the operating problems faced by staff and the devotion that went into solving them. Older readers will surely exclaim: ‘Yes, that’s exactly how it was!’ while those too young to remember will marvel at what has been lost
But The Trains We Loved is also a visual feast thirty-two splendid paintings, many previously unpublished, by Philip Hawkins, chairman of the Guild of Railway Artists, evoke the period in | {

The farm is a few miles west of New Hope, a historic town that draws a heavy tourist crowd looking for antiques and vintage clothing. The two-lane road between New Hope and the county seat of Doylestown has numerous antique stories and a place called Peddler’s Village.

Saturn Girl brushes this aside, saying that the Legion got another message - Lightning Lord of the Legion of Super-Villains is offering a trade: the location of the villains' safe-houses if Lightning Lad will talk with him.
On New Takron-Galtos, a problem occurs when the guards will not let him in. Lightning Lad is about to leave, but a brief altercation with an inmate named Storm Boy delays him long enough for his clearance to come through.
In his specialized cell, Lightning Lord gets to the point - he wants Lightning Lad's help, citing that they are brothers. Lightning Lad throws this back in his face, pointing out that they have been at odds sincethe day they gained their superpowers. Lightning Lord points out that, as the only person on Winath with no twin, he has always been alone. Lightning Lad is so angry at this paltry excuse that he is about to leave, but Lightning Lord makes his case - he thinks he has a twin, and their parents lied to him. He wants Lightning Lad to prove it, one way or the other.
On his way home, Lightning Lad refuses to believe his brother's story, but in the end, he sets course for Winath. | {

* Because of an impending budgetary crisis, the Colleton County School District announced in the spring of 1987 that, in lieu of paying teachers a lump sum for the summer months, as had been the custom, the School District would pay teachers bi-weekly.

John Stroman, a teacher for some ten years in Colleton County, responded to the new policy by writing and circulating a letter to fellow teachers in which he expressed his objection to any delay in receiving pay caused by the new policy,a "sick-out," which he marked with a red pencil. He promptly called a meeting with Stroman for the next day to which he also invited Stroman's school principal, Franklin L. Smalls. At the meeting, Stroman admitted that he had drafted and circulated the letter. He also complained to the superintendent that "he was being mistreated as far as his pay was concerned." During the course of the meeting, Smoak handed Stroman a letter of dismissal dated that day, May 29, 1987, which stated in pertinent part:

Abbey of Jouarre
Credit
:
The locality first began to grow in the seventh century, with the foundation of the Abbey of Notre Dame by Adon, and its developing influence.Today, the Abbey houses religious treasures.
The crypt of Saint Paul dates from the Merovingian period (seventh century) counting among the most ancient buildings in Europe. Inside, the three naves house the sarcophagi of the Abbey’s founders, decorated with bas-reliefs typical of seventh century sculpture. Also in the crypt there are marble pillars that show Roman influence.
During the various invasions of the region, the nuns of Jouarre would apparently wall off this crypt, secreting it behind a false chapel.
The church of Saint Pierre-Saint Paul, built in the fifteenth and sixteenth century, holds the reliquaries of the founding saints of the monastery of NotreDame.
A fifteenth century Pieta in polychrome stone, and a sixteenth century entombment in polychrome limestone, attributed to Michel Colombe, are also worth admiring. The large remaining tower dates from the twelfth century. The monastic buildings of the Abbey of Jouarre date mostly from the eighteenth century.

European oil companies for helping the Nigerian government to kill and torture civilians. The case was originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the district court dismissed all claims against the corporate defendants, finding that the ATS imposes liability only against individuals, not corporations. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the claims.
The Supreme Court originally granted review in October 2011, but only as to the question whether the ATS applies to corporate conduct abroad. Shortly after hearing arguments on that issue in February 2012, the Court ordered supplemental briefing on the question whether an ATS claim could proceed when the conduct giving rise to the claim occurred wholly outside of thebusinesses with 250 or more staff to be transparent about their arrangements.

The Twilight Zone (entertainment)
I've always been a fan of The Twilight Zone (the original) and last Friday actually marked the 50th anniversary of the show's debut on CBS. I even bought the whole entire series on DVD. From the sci-fi possibilities to the twist endings to the sentimental and touching stories, this series had everything, including terrific writing and terrific acting.
While I remember watching the Twilight Zone marathons that would run on Independence Day weekend as a kid, it's better having all the episodes because there were just so many good ones. It's almost impossible to come up with a list of only 10had appeared to be in the open, the hunting party found steep and brush-laden terrain on the other side. Luckily, they located Wyatt’s prize in time to take pictures before dark.
Afterward, they quartered the animal and took out half, boned out, in their backpacks. It was after 10 when they finally got back to camp. They were plenty tired to say the least.
The rest of the venison was retrieved the next morning. After a good lunch, the four took back to the mountains in search of an elk for Ethan. Just before dark, without enough time to close the distance, they spotted elk feeding in a high mountain park more than 1,000 yards away.

because they no longer had any personal reserves to sustain them in the meantime. Some kolhosp with more conscientious management, gave out "advances", for previously earned trudodni. But the practice was rare and eventually was formally forbidden. The other solution was to "steal" the grain grown by the kolhosp. This "theft" of the fruits of ones own labour was severely punished in the name of the protection of "state property". Children as well as adults, accused of "shaving" cereal stalks or picking up ears of corn left behind by the harvester were severely punished. Where the cooperation of millers could be obtained, thrashing machines were adjusted to let some grains get through together with the chaff or fall into the straw which could later be gleaned. Whatever wassaved, in one way or another, was often hidden for later usage. There is no way of knowing what portion of the hidden grain was found by the flying brigades of activists, but an official reports state that in Kuban 345,000 poods of grain were found in November, while in Ukraine the search from 1 December 1932 to 25 January 1933 uncovered 1.7 million poods, in 17,000 hiding places.[82]
The hardier peasants would flee their villages, either alone or with their entire families, and seek salvation in urban centres — especially industrialized Donbas — or go to Belarus and the RSFSR.

Ski sock constructions are well known in the prior art. It is quite common for such prior art ski sock constructions to "ride-down" the wearer's leg during use. This is due to opposing horizontal and vertical forces generated by the foot and leg portions of the sock which create a maximum stress on the sock material running through the apex of the heel. The horizontal stretch of the foot causes the leg portion of the sock to be pulled down into the wearer's boot. The sock then becomes uncomfortable for the wearer and does not adequately cushion the wearer's leg.
It would therefore be desirable to provide an improved ski sock construction wherein ride-down of the sock on the wearer's leg is avoided.trafficking and sexual exploitation to satisfy the demand for prostitution on the sidelines of the Olympic Games in London and the UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

During the 2011 World Cup, South African authorities noted a ‘huge’ increase in the sex trade, with the number of women and girls involved in prostitution, as well as the number of brothels, doubling.

Euro-area services and manufacturing contracted at a faster pace than economists forecast in February as the economy struggled to recover from the deepest recession in almost four years.
The euro-area services index fell to 47.3 in February from 48.6 in January, its steepest drop in 10 months, today's data showed. The manufacturing gauge slipped to 47.8 from 47.9.
In Germany, Europe's biggest economy, the services measure fell to 54.1 in February from 55.7 last month, the sharpest decline since August. The German manufacturing gauge rose to 50.1, moving into expansion for the first time in a year.
France's services gauge fell to 42.7 this month from 43.6 in January, while its manufacturing index increased to 43.6 from 42.9, today's data showed.

Let's start with your first presumption: Where did Paul Ryan come from? And isn't it a bit premature to assume that neither Cruz nor Trump will secure the Republican nomination?
HW: if they go into the convention and Trump doesn't win on the first ballot, i think Ryan will get the nomination. And I'm petrified.
JB: What's so bad about Ryan?
HW: I think Paul Ryan embodies all the horrible corporate-fundamentalist sicknesses we've had to confront since the rise of the "New Right" in the early sixties. He's an Ayn Rand individualist who "hates government" except when it funds the empire and crushes leftist dissent. He's a "free market corporatist" with a laser focus on destroying social security, medicare at the very moment he says he's "saving it". A very dangerousdude.
On a personal level, he's smug, arrogant and full of himself. Did you see the look on his face during Obama's State of the Union?
Is he electable? More so than the GOP final three. And with Koch's billions, who knows?

All three couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. They shared a room with a real huntress, someone who didn't have ulterior motives for coming to Beacon Academy. Professor Oobleck had seen through all of them in the lost city, and reading Ruby's report, they knew that hadn't changed. They might be more like her now, but they'd never be the huntress she was.
Blake glanced at her partner out of the corner of her eye, buried underneath her mane. Since returning from the mission, they'd been cooped up in the hospital or their room together nearly every day, with Yang worrying about her sister every waking moment of that time. The blonde was getting more anxious, her jokes morecommon as if to distract herself, and it had already begun affecting her aura. The blonde was a self-admitted party girl, practically needing to steal the dance floor and have guys buy her a drink at least once or twice a week. She needed excitement in her life, and all this cabin fever wasn't doing her or the rest of the team any good.
Her birthday was going to be a much needed distraction for them, but a team of huntresses in-training needed more than just shopping to make them feel alive again, and turning toward the heiress, it was clear she was thinking the same.
