Computerised Traffic Offence System is a powerful web based and database program that records all the traffic offences committed nationwide. The system helps the Federal Road Safety Commission keep adequate records of all traffic offences that has been committed and that will still be committed by road users and also maintain the databases of the commission (FRSC).
Prior to the establishment of Federal Road Safety Commission in 1988, there was no concrete and sustained policy action to address the carnage on Nigerian roads. Earlier attempts in this direction were limited to discrete and isolated attempts by some states of the Federation and individuals.The unpleasant trend in the nation’s road traffic system which resulted in upsurage in road traffic accidents made the Federal Government initiate a search for a | 256 | 1 |
smells that are cold — a reminder of how one feels afterward.
Friendship smells like: Friendship is always based on trust and being comfortable with another; so for me, sandalwood has this warmth that brings everything together. Saffron also comes to mind. It reminds me of my favorite comfort foods, like saffron risotto. I find it very endearing and genuine; it provides this genuine warmth of another that makes you feel close to that individual.
Regret smells like: Musk and lactone fructose. I never get when people say musk smells like skin. To me, it smells like an old man’s bedroom, it reminds me of the old aftershave creams men used to use. When musk is used in the wrong way, in the background, it’s like ivy; it takes over and suffocates the beauty of what’s above it. It’s like that annoying person who never goes away.

They’re used a lot in hair care, fruit notes, and musk because they’re very strong, inexpensive to use, and they just last forever. You’ll also find musk in a lot of laundry detergents — it’s the last thing that you smell on your skin. I find it very annoying, but when used correctly, musk softens and rounds things out.
Success smells like: The perfect balance of all the elements; so in perfumery, it’s the meticulous balance between all the notes — top, middle, and back — that come together beautifully to tell a story. It’s something that I strive for in fragrance, probably because I’m a Libra, so I like balance. I’m always working with the perfumer to find that perfect balance that tells a story when you smell the different layers.
The worst smell is: I teach at Pratt, and I always tell the students that some of the notes we use in perfumery can be really ugly, yet when knowing how to use them they create this amazing beauty. But one note that comes to mind is ambergris. It smells like the worst case of halitosis, | 256 | 1 |

After the execution of the dauphin's father, King Louis XVI, royalists recognized Louis XVII as the rightful heir to the throne. Louis died in Paris on June 8, 1795, while still in captivity.
Louis-Charles de France was born at the Palace of Versailles in France on March 27, 1785. He was the second son and the third child born to King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette. He was named the Duke of Normandy at the time of his birth while his older brother, Louis Joseph, was the dauphin of France.
Upon Louis Joseph's death in June 1789, Louis-Charles became the heir apparent to the French throne. Agathe de Rambaud cared for Louis-Charles for the first seven years of his life and was among those closest to the young prince.
The royal family was forced to flee Versailles on October 6, 1789, as the French Revolution was gaining momentum.

They relocated to the Tuileries Palace in Paris, where they lived for the next two years. Fearing for their lives, the family made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from Paris on June 21, 1791.
On August 10, 1792, a mob stormed the | Tuileries and captured Louis-Charles, his parents and siblings. They were imprisoned in the Temple, a medieval fortress within the city boundaries. The king was tried, convicted and executed on January 21, 1793. At this point, Royalists began referring to Louis-Charles as the king of France.
On July 3, Louis-Charles was removed from his mother's care and entrusted to a cobbler named Antoine Simon and his wife, Marie-Jeanne. Contemporary rumors of the prince's treatment during this period include sexual and physical abuse. These rumors have never been substantiated and conflict with anecdotal evidence supplied by visitors to the Simon home. Even as royalists accused the revolutionaries of abuse, Louis-Charles was encouraged to condemn his family for similar crimes. He provided sworn statements detailing sexual abuse at the hands of his mother, sister and aunt.
In January 1794, Louis was placed into solitary confinement and apparently neglected and underfed. Although a succession of guardians was appointed over the following year, Louis remained sickly and refused to speak for long periods of time. On June 8, 1795, the death of Louis Charles was made public. The stated cause of death was tuberculosis.

natural gas being a renewable source of energy. Thus, hydropower can be described as the jewel in the electricity sector – at least if the hydropower station has access to a traditional power market where the demand for electricity fluctuates substantially.
Pumped storage is an excellent example of the great value of hydropower
To have a better access to flexible electricity, there are examples of water being pumped up to reservoirs (pumped storage). This same water is utilized for electricity production later, when demand is high. Pumped storage also serves as important factor in load balancing. This kind of electricity production is e.g. well known in Austria and Switzerland, as well as in the United Kingdom.
Obviously substantial amount of energy is needed for the pumping. But as the pumping primarily takes place during night (when electricity demand is minimum and electricity prices are low) and the water from the upper reservoir is used for electricity production when the demand is high (and prices also), this is a viable option.
Countries with extensive hydro resources are in a key position as system stabilizers

Pumped storage is a good example of how hydropower with water reservoirs offers the best opportunity to be in the role of flexible electricity supply. However, possibilities for pumped storage are | limited. Thus, large electricity markets can gain tremendously from being connected to even faraway hydropower sources – like if the UK had a connector to Iceland.
This is also an interesting option for Iceland. Areas that enjoy substantial opportunities for developing hydropower stations beyond their local market need can take advantage of sudden price changes on fluctuating electricity markets. It is precisely such given flexibility with water reservoirs, that has greatly increased the value of the Norwegian hydropower. The worlds’ longest subsea electric cable today is the NorNed cable between Norway and the Netherlands. And now a cable between Norway and the UK is being planned and also another cable between Norway and continental Europe.
All this is an indicative of how profitable it is for countries with steerable hydropower to have access to electricity markets where electricity demand fluctuates substantially. In this context electricity from hydropower can be described as the most prestigious product in the energy market.
Iceland has one of the worlds’ most flexible power system
Overseas Iceland is quite well known for its geothermal energy. However, geothermal is the source for only 25 per cent of Iceland’s electricity production. It is hydropower that is Iceland’s most important energy source. | 256 | 1 |

Sleepwalker: It might have been “Freudian” when you said “their G-d” — but I have seen it more than postulated from messianic platform (and not once and not by mistake) that gentiles should turn (toward Jews) and say “your G-d” when the liturgy says “our G-d.”
Marleen: that’s just terrible.
If a person is being told, do this, no don’t do it; He is your God, no He isn’t your God (be careful about claiming too much, not to mention offending the people who are in focus), what is it — what are the faith and practice — being purportedly allowed to fade?
Hmmm… I wonder, Marleen, if you’ve just put your finger on a key aspect of the problem, when you cite the notion of being careful not to claim too much. Isn’t it precisely this idea that Jews are withholding something from gentile disciples that they ought to be allowed to have that engenders a jealousy?

's been a month since my special look back at the classic 1980's Wolfman/Perez New Teen Titans series left off, so sorry for the delay, and here we go again with a look back at the young hero who ultimately became the third scarlet speedster to be called the Flash.
Wally West is the nephew of Iris West (and therefore, Barry Allen's nephew by marriage), he was first introduced in The Flash vol. 1, #110 (1959). When Wally was about ten years old, he visited the Central City police laboratory where Barry Allen worked, and the freak accident that originally gave Allen his powers repeated itself, bathing Wally in electrically-charged chemicals. Suddenly possessing the same powers as The Flash, West donned a smaller version of Barry's Flash outfit and became the young crime-fighter known as Kid Flash.
Wally soon adopted a slightly different, yellow-and-red outfit with his hair exposed, and became a founding member of the original Teen Titans, along with fellow sidekicks Robin and Aqualad. Always something of a straight-shooter from rural America, Kid Flash sometimes felt out of place alongside more flamboyant heroes such as Speedy and Wonder Girl.

As a young adult, West | was present when the Titans reconstituted as the New Teen Titans, but he eventually discovered that his powers were failing and even damaging his body. He retired from crime-fighting until a cure could be found for his condition. However, Wally was called into action again by the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, in which his uncle Barry Allen had vanished. As a side effect of the energies he was exposed to during that adventure, West's powers stabilized. However, he could no longer run at the same extraordinary speeds as his uncle. Wally’s powers were limited to the speed of sound and he had to eat vast quantities of food to maintain his metabolism. He chose to retire his Kid Flash identity and adopted the costume and name of the Flash to honor his uncle and maintain their heroic legacy. He did, however, make his identity public knowledge in order to keep from replacing Barry Allen in the minds of the public. This made him the first sidekick to actually take on the name (and role) of his mentor.

its lighter fantasy fare. Costumes, make-up, and hairstyles are wildly imaginative--surprisingly true to the book--and the settings outside of the game and the outlying districts are completely unreal digital creations. The visual effects are, on the whole, pretty good, but there are a few moments where they fall apart, the most egregious being the scene where Katniss and Peeta make their fiery entrance, a scene that deserves to be more impressive than it is.
This movie is going to make a lot of money, and it deserves to. Its messages are poignant without getting preachy; its subject matter is intelligent without being unintelligible; it's experimental without being unwatchable; it's dark without being depressing or amoral; in short, it's the best kind of Hollywood blockbuster. I'm anxious to see it again, and I'm happy to know that the story will continue.
The Hunger Games succeeds in being far more than just a straight-forward adaptation of young adult pulp fiction, and thus it earns its popularity.

Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse (Book 3) Synopsis
The Titan's Curse: the third book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. The third book in the most exciting commercial fantasy adventure series since Artemis Fowl. Now in paperback with a thrilling new cover look. It's the last Friday before the winter holidays but Percy Jackson isn't at school: he's battling the fearsome Manticore (half human, half lion), which in itself isn't ideal . . . but with Annabeth missing and the goddess of the hunt held captive, things get a whole lot more serious . . . Greek mythology relocated to modern-day America. Action-packed, funny, accessible writing for both boys and girls aged 10+. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl. Praise for the Percy Jackson series: 'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig, The Times 'Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline' - Telegraph 'Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats' - New York Times Rick Riordan is an award-winning | 256 | 1 |
So many times I have seen people say they want to lose weight, but saying you want to lose weight and actually believing you can and being positive about it is a totally different thing. Be realistic and positive when setting up goals. If you don’t believe you can lose the weight, then you won’t. Plain and simple.
If a doctor or a loved one tells a woman that they could or should lose some weight, it is often taken as a criticism, viewed as a negative. It can cause one to build a negative self-image and one’s internal dialog to turn negative. Once we begin to tell ourselves negative things we become our own worst enemy. We become our own resistance between us and whatever it is we wish to achieve.
That’s how my journey started: in a negative state.
Growing up, I was always bigger than the other girls in my class. Not only taller but heavier. Doctors would tell my mom that I should lose some weight, but neither she nor I listened to them. Denial is a powerful defense mechanism.
My mom and I both told ourselves that I was just “big-boned.” I was offended by the criticisms. They made me self-conscious | So many times I have seen people say they want to lose weight, but saying you want to lose weight and actually believing you can and being positive about it is a totally different thing.

My mom and I both told ourselves that I was just “big-boned.” I was offended by the criticisms. They made me self-conscious | and made me feel like there was something wrong with me. I didn’t want to hear the criticisms or that I needed to change anything. So I decided that they were the ones who were wrong. Looking back on those pictures and seeing all of the inflammation in my face and how swollen I looked I now know what they were seeing and trying to make me aware of even if they came off the wrong way. What I didn’t understand then that I do now is that there was turmoil going on inside my body. It was not reacting well to what I was putting in it. There was nothing wrong with me, just the mindset I took on the situation and the reaction my body had to the food culture I grew up in. I needed to change my lifestyle completely but I could not see that from the negative helpless perspective I had adopted in place of the positive empowering viewpoint i needed.
I was in a negative state of mind… and its hard to get positive results from a negative mind.
The first step in any weight loss journey should be changing your attitude. Find little things throughout your day that are positive. Keep doing this every day and before too long you will find your mind is in a positive state more and more. By creating this habit, | 256 | 1 |
all due respect to Santhanam (and I mean it), he is just one of many on the "deterrence team". Such a "team" has - for good reasons - people representing as aspects of the spectrum, it better have.

It's the waste and pollutants I find abhorrent more than CO2; air quality has deteriorated since everyone installed woodburners. On a cold day you can smell it. Gas has to be the cleanest fuel apart from renewables.
Please don't let them suggest burning plastic waste now that China (quite rightly) decided not to take ours any more. I hate to think of the nasties which would be generated by this.

There is of course no suggestion (cough cough) that Huhne's work in sustainable energy has in any way been connected with his former position as UK energy and climate change secretary.
HNY to all !
Silly point but noticed that most churches have paraffin wax candles burning.
I recall that the yellow flame is small carbon particles - is this same as the diesel particles?
Also of course CO2 production.
I listened to a C of E clergyman lecturing on climate change and air pollution.
I can’t remember the last time I heard an effete C of E vicar talk about the gospel. They’re all just communist parasites as far as I can tell, more interested in Islam than Christianity.
Anyhoo... if “climate change” was real (it isn’t, other than natural variability which has always been with us) the only suitable answer would be nuclear, the other possibility in the absence of fossil fuels being a return to the Neolithic.
Climate change, did you say, Nick?

In February 2013, Verfaillie congratulated Macchiarini to his announced plastic trachea transplant on the 2-year-old patient (who died just 8 weeks after the operation):
“Creating a windpipe out of the blue is certainly a major event,” says Verfaillie on the phone. “The evolution has been going fast in recent years. Techniques have been developed to make tissues by implanting stem cells on all kinds of constructs. But the effective applications are still rare. Apart from the windpipe and the bladder [reference to Anthony Atala’s bizarre experiment, -LS], which are both simple organs, I don’t see much coming yet. ”

31. What do parents really think of SENCOs? Queanbeyan trainer Joe Cleary and jockey Jess Taylor hope to etch their names in Magic Millions Classic history at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
Cleary is hoping to emulate his father Frank Cleary who won the Magic Millions Classic with Clan O’Sullivan in 1992 when he saddles up Girls Are Ready in the $2 million feature.
The race was run in two divisions that year with Clan O’Sullivan winning both races in January and May.
Taylor has ridden Girls Are Ready in all her three starts for two wins and a third and is aiming to become only the second female rider to win the Magic Millions Classic since it was first run and won by Snippets in 1987.

I also have collaborative research projects in China (T | ibet Plateau and eastern margin) involving thermochronology and geochronology.
As a geoscientist, I attempt to take an Earth Systems approach in my research work. I like to work from the large scale (e.g. tectonic development of New Zealand) down to the sedimentary basin scale and then to the formation or sequence scale. We seek to understand the processes, rates and dynamics of material moving from source (mountains) to sink (basins), and the sequence architecture within basins driven by past sea level changes. We have research projects across many parts of New Zealand.
The outcome we seek in much of our work is to better understand the context of, and prospectivity for, petroleum resources in New Zealand's basins, and to this end we are funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FRST), and interact with with oil and gas exploration companies. Please view my Sedimentary and Petroleum Research Group website.
As something completely different, in 2002 I established an industrial energy efficiency research group within the faculty. The group has six mechanical and process engineers (funded externally, including FRST) seeking to improve process and energy efficiency in the dairy processing and pulp and paper industries.

Rather than completing his court-mandated penalty, Bundy, 46, has been on the campaign trail spreading his extremist views, peddling a warped interpretation of the U.S. Constitution and fostering his network of militia members and other far-right radicals fighting COVID-19 safety measures.
In a Nov. 26 letter to the Ada County District Court, Aaron Welling, Bundy’s campaign treasurer, wrote that Bundy had “completed 1,621 hours of public service” via campaign activities across the state, the Idaho Statesman and Idaho Press reported.
“Mr. Bundy has traveled the State of Idaho several times meeting with people and encouraging them to become more active in holding public officials accountable to the People of Idaho,” reads the letter, which was printed on campaign stationery. “Mr. Bundy has organized and attended over 90 public events since he was sentenced six months ago.

As part of his campaign, Bundy has also called for | a state takeover of federal lands and compared vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 public health measures to the actions of the Nazis.
The Bundy campaign did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment Friday. But in comments to Idaho Press, Welling noted that Bundy’s public service in recent months included passing out water at political protests.
“It is what it is,” Welling told the newspaper when asked whether his letter to the court describes campaign activities or actual community service. “If the courts don’t like it, the courts don’t like it.”
This week, an Idaho judge tossed out Bundy’s appeal of the trespassing conviction.

With a 96% engagement rate, Texas is showing how children’s hospitals, states and schools can partner to bring behavioral health care to kids and reduce stigma.
When it comes to child and adolescent access to mental health services, Texas ranks last in the nation. Recent state legislation is attempting to change that, and Children's Health in Dallas is at the forefront of those initiatives. At the 2020 Behavioral Health Summit, Sue Schell, M.A., vice president and clinical director of Behavioral Health at Children's Health described the institution's involvement in the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) program.
TCHATT brings tele-mental health services to 55 school campuses with several goals:
Provide early intervention.

Through TCHATT, each participating school receives a device that connects | a student with an off-site provider. Teachers are given mental health first aid training—provided by hospital staff—to identify students who could need behavioral health services and help stabilize classroom disruptions. Originally, the program started with kids in high school and each year younger students have been added.
How the tele-mental health program works
Anyone in the school can identify a child who would benefit from the program, but the school counselor is Children's Health's direct contact. Counselors work with parents to let them know what's going on and ask them to consent to being contacted by Children's Health staff within two business days. At the initial contact with families, Children's Health doesn't discuss insurance or payment. If a child does need a psychiatrist, Children's Health helps set up appointments and follow-up.
Visits are 30 minutes and conducted virtually through the hospital-provided device while the child is at school. Schell says parents can be brought in but that doesn't happen very often—students enjoy having their own time with the psychologist. All appointments are documented in Children's Health's electronic health record, not in the telehealth platform.
According to Schell, not all students with behavioral health disorders are appropriate for TCHATT. It is not a crisis | 256 | 1 |

When engineers are unable to attend the company does not even call out of courtesy to let customers know. Today despite being told an engineer would be out quickly no one turned up and I received no telephone call explaining why and this has happened multiple times. Even when an engineer does come out they do not fix the issue and I am forced to call back days later. Several times someone has supposedly fixed my toilet, tap and drain but clearly they do not know what they are doing as I have the same ongoing issues. I certainly would not recommend and I will be demanding the cancellation of my policy.

By combining cars of different roads, playing different notes, some very impressive musical tunes can be built.
The application gives you plenty of control over the notes themselves, too. Each roadside object can have its pitch varied, and it’s also possible to adjust the note to play at the front or back of the beat, or even syncopate the beat (play the note twice in the span of one beat). Each roadside object has a different selection of sounds, from traditional keyboards right through to random noises.
On top of that, it’s possible to alter the speed in which the cars drive, and then force pauses in their movement through markers on the road. Between all this it can take some practice before you’ll be generating truly interesting music tracks, but thanks to the ultra-cute visual style, it’s a pleasant learning curve.
What’s less pleasant is the interface, which at this stage is a bit clunky and bug-ridden. The nastiest bug I’ve come across is that occasionally, when you zoom out to get a full view of the island, and then back in, the software stops recognising any changes you might want to | 256 | 1 |

Method of murder: Axe
Location: Correggio, Italy
In one of the most bizarre serial killer cases ever recorded, Leonarda Cian | ciulli, an Italian woman from Correggio, hacked three of her friends to death and used their body fat to make soap and their blood to make chocolate flavored tea cakes.
Cianciulli first turned to murder in 1939, when her son was conscripted into the Italian army at the start of World War Two. A deeply superstitious woman, she became convinced that he would be killed unless she made a human sacrifice. It was then that she decided to murder her three friends, Faustina Setti, Francesca Soavi, and Virginia Cacioppo.
After luring each of the women to her home on the pretext of providing advice on romance or employment, Cianciulli murdered them with an axe. She then dismembered the corpses, using the fat to make soap which she distributed freely around the neighborhood. The blood was dried and then ground into a powder which she mixed into her tea cakes.
Cianciulli was eventually caught after one of her victim’s relatives reported to police that the missing woman had last been seen going into Cianciulli's house. Questioned about the disappearance, Cianciulli immediately confessed, sparing none of the lurid details.

Interestingly, performance is best with fast illuminant changes, suggesting that observers have access to a transient signal that is associated with a global illuminant change (Linnell & Foster, 1996). The ability to identify a global change in illumination might imply that color constancy (or an adjustment to take account of the illumination) occurs instantaneously, but detection of an illuminant change does not necessarily imply that the perceptual system makes associated adjustments to color appearance (e.g., Foster, 2003).
Barbur, de Cunha, Williams, and Plant (2004) employed a dynamic color matching technique, in which observers were asked to adjust the color of a test patch to make its perceived color invariant under a change in simulated illumination on surrounding patches. The observers' settings under abrupt changes in illumination that followed a 1.25-Hz square-wave cycle showed high levels of constancy. Further experiments implied that instantaneous compensation for the illuminant is mediated mostly by early, monocular chromatic mechanisms in V1 with little contribution from later areas (Barbur & Spang, 2008), although greater constancy is achieved with binocular stimuli.

The spatial arrangement of patches in Barbur et al.'s experiments was fixed, so one solution that would give a high constancy setting would be to find the color of the test patch that matches the local change in cone ratios for the test patch to the changes exhibited by each of the surrounding patches. Goddard, Solomon, and Clifford (2010) provide evidence for an adaptable mechanism that produces greater color opponent aftereffects during adaptation to a constant scene under a 1-Hz cycle of changing illumination than to a changing scene that produced equivalent levels of receptoral stimulation. The results are consistent with adaptation to a neural representation from which correlated changes in local cone ratios across the scene are (immediately) discounted.
Our experiment
The purpose of our study was to investigate the time course of appearance-based color constancy. We used simulated environments that consisted of several reflectance patches rendered under particular illuminants. From trial to trial, the spatial layout of reflecting surfaces could change and these changes were sometimes accompanied by changes in illumination. The observers' task was to classify the color appearance of a series of test patches and from these judgments we estimated the observers' achromatic points at each of several intervals after a simulated change of ill | 256 | 1 |

Buhari Has Not Treated Me Fairly- Okorocha

Governor Rochas Okorocha has confessed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has not treated him fairly despite his sacrifices and contributions to Buhari’s victory by preventing the PDP from rigging their way to power in 2015.
According to a report seen on online news platform THEWILLNIGERIA.COM, the governor revealed that former President Goodluck Jonathan offered him huge sums of money, a second term ticket and an influential ministry in a bid to lure to him from the All Progressive Congress, APC before the 2015 elections.
He said he turned down the offer and opted to remain with the APC, stating that he is hopeful that he will be reward for his efforts someday.

Stephen Evans said: "Opening parliamentary sessions with Christian prayers is an exclusionary and divisive practice.
"Ending it would provide a statement that anyone is welcome in parliament, regardless of their religious beliefs or background, and that parliamentary procedures respect freedom of conscience.
"We urge the new speaker to bring whatever influence he can to bear to ensure parliament is open and welcoming to people of all religious beliefs and none."
Motion on parliamentary prayers
The motion tabled on parliamentary prayers last year, EDM 1967, said:
religious worship should play no part in the formal business of the Commons;
parliamentary meetings should be conducted "in a manner equally welcoming to all attendees, irrespective of their personal beliefs";
parliamentary prayers were "not compatible with a society which respects the principle of freedom of and from religion".
At the time the chair of the procedure committee, Charles Walker, told the NSS he was "content to discuss" the proposal with the committee "once we have disposed of currently pressing business".
The NSS campaigns for an end to government prayers at both a national and local level.

"Ending it would provide a statement that anyone is welcome in parliament, regardless of their religious beliefs or background, and that parliamentary procedures respect freedom of conscience.
"We urge the new speaker to bring whatever influence he can to bear to ensure parliament is open and welcoming to people of all religious beliefs and none."
Motion on parliamentary prayers
The motion tabled on parliamentary prayers last year, EDM 1967, said:
religious worship should play no part in the formal business of the Commons;
parliamentary meetings should be conducted "in a manner equally welcoming to all attendees, irrespective of their personal beliefs";
parliamentary prayers were "not compatible with a society which respects the principle of freedom of and from religion".
At the time the chair of the procedure committee, Charles Walker, told the NSS he was "content to discuss" the proposal with the committee "once we have disposed of currently pressing business".
The NSS campaigns for an end to government prayers at both a national and local level.

Option #1 is the most professional but can be expensive. Therefor I am exploring option #2. Once the project works, perhaps dropped the cash on option #1 will be a consideration.
I'm wondering what software other board members use for this sort of thing. I've used a nice drafting package called Draft IT from CADlogic to draw the panel. Now I realize I need to color it. I don't think the free version (or any version, for that matter) of the software supports color. This means if I produce a PNG file using DraftIT, color it with some other software, and then need to make a change to the original drawing, I'll have to redo all my work.
Here's the latest cut of the control panel. It isn't quite ready - I haven't marked where holes need to be drilled. I'm working to ensure the control layout is ergonomic and that the controls actually fit. Like icebergs, many controls are bigger underneath...

curb U.S. exports to China that could help strengthen China's military.
Exporters are awaiting the publication of the proposed rule in the Federal Register, when it will be available for comment (it is now only available in a draft form that was initially released only to an industry advisory group, but rapidly found its way to the internet). The early release may actually work in favor of exporters, however, because BIS has received substantial feedback on even the draft.
Exporters have expressed an overarching concern that the proposed rule is too broad and lacks clarity, and would therefore cover too many products and create uncertainty. In addition, exporters have expressed these additional concerns:
The proposed rule would put an unfair burden on U.S. firms to establish the destination of goods after they have been exported. Industry groups claim that the current draft language is unclear and could be read to mean that U.S. firms would have to require Chinese buyers not to transfer goods to China for military uses without a license, and in the case of any other entity outside of China, to ensure that any sensitive technology is not re-exported to China.

The Chinese Government must certify that the goods in question would not be used for military purposes. U.S. industries are concerned that the broad categories subject to the new rule will result in a large increase in the number of requests to China's Ministry of Commerce for end-user certificates and that the Ministry of Commerce will either be unable or unwilling to certify non-military use.
The proposed rule does not clarify the extent to which U.S. companies must exercise due diligence when examining potential Chinese trading partners or what will be required to establish that a company used appropriate due diligence. The industry groups are concerned that such ambiguity would make it difficult for a company to ensure that its export control regime is compliant with the new rule.
Whether BIS will make changes in response to these concerns before it publishes the proposed rule for comment—expected in mid-June—will be an important indicator of the dialogue that will take place. Commerce will allow four months for public comment on the rule.

I’ve been through more technical terrain than this in other off-roaders, but this run shows me it’s as capable as the Wrangler Rubicon but in slightly different ways.

An independent front suspension isolates bumps from side to side, and the unibody structure helps the Defender absorb bumps and ruts instead of bouncing over them. The Wrangler drives like a small, short-wheelbase truck with the busy ride to prove it. The Defender drives like a tall mid-size crossover, with the control that implies.

In the absence of prior directives, such considerations are estimates at best. As I sat beside her one recent morning, my mother repeatedly reached a shaky hand to her head, patting the side of her face. Puzzled, I leaned in.
"Does your head hurt?" I wondered. She moved her palm with painstaking slowness from her head to mine, cradling my cheek. "Are you in pain?" I asked. Her mouth parted, but no words came. My eyes welled. Is this the path to the good death she wanted?

I learned to read micro-expressions, interpreting small facial shifts for fear, anxiety or contentment. I discovered I could calm her breathing with touch: holding her hand or settling my hand on her leg. She would visibly relax if I made the shushing sounds so second-nature from the sleepless nights I'd rocked my own babies.
"It's OK, love, you're OK, I'm here, I love you," I would murmur, patting her shoulder. She would sigh, and close her eyes.
Some of the path to her good death was luck. Michelle, another dementia resident, decided she was my mother's nurse. She sat beside her constantly, holding her hand and tucking small morsels of coffeecake between her lips. Whenever I arrived, Michelle would spring up, give me a surprisingly fierce hug and offer her informed assessment of how my mother was doing. "I take care of her," she told me repeatedly, stroking my mother's cheek.
Other parts of her good death came through privilege. She was the last of a generation of teachers to retire with a significant pension, easing | 256 | 1 |
coach since 2017, Nuno Espírito Santo, formerly of Valencia and Porto, is also Portuguese. What all these Portuguese players and their manager have in common is an agent, Jorge Mendes. Mendes is a soccer equivalent to Scott Boras: He’s one of the biggest agents in the sport, whose clientele also includes Manchester United coach José Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mendes is an “adviser” for Wolves, a loose title which has until now skirted any legal issues: Agents aren’t allowed to have actual positions with a soccer club. But Mendes’s “advising” has seen several of his clients leave bigger teams to join the club—even when they were in the second tier. By the end of the 2017-18 season, “almost half” of Wolves’ roster had alleged ties to Mendes’s company, Gestifute, which has taken investments from Fosun chairman Guo Guangchang.

The team also conceded fewer than 10 shots per game—another high mark in the English second tier. The type of football Wolves played was attractive and entertaining—watch this space at the end of the season—all the way down to the manager’s charisma. When the team faced second-place Cardiff City late in the season, Santo jubilantly celebrated on the sidelines after Wolves’ late winner, which irked Cardiff manager Neil Warnock. “[Santo’s] got to learn that in British football you have manners, a bit of class when you’ve won a game,” Warnock said after the game.

“The respondent (Chombo) is sentenced to 90 days’ imprisonment with labour until full compliance by the respondent.
“The term of imprisonment shall be wholly suspended on condition that the respondent fully complies with the court orders … This order shall itself constitute and serve as a writ for the arrest, detention and lodging of the respondent to prison,” High Court judge Emmy Tsanga’s ruling reads.

However, this was rejected by the court, which noted that the minister had long been aware of the court application.

This narrative does the same for its characters, trapping them in ‘tucked away’ memories that seem arbitrary at first until you realize it’s for them to come to some realization or epiphany. I love that sort of reality melding, spaced out storytelling that uses memory and the mind in a literal sense and setting, it’s used to fantastic effect here and the story, while structured similarly as Hill House, is its own nesting doll narrative full of complexity and shifting components. Is it scary? Well, aside from a few effectively chilly moments no, not really, and nothing comes close to some of the skin crawling sequences in Hill House. But like I said, it’s more of a human story with life in its veins, and the most disturbing, distressing elements are the emotional rigours these human beings must endure, the torment that memory can inflict, the potent pain of a deep heartbreak, the deep wounds that grief imprints on one’s soul and the ways in which some may find redemption and others… not so much.

But it’s a gorgeous, challenging, complex, beautifully rewarding experience in the same token, and I’m grateful to Mike Flanagan & Co for doing something equally as spellbinding as Hill House, yet cut from a different sort of cloth altogether. If this were a nine hour film (which is how I recommend you view, it demands to be binged in rapturous immersion) it would be my number one of the year.

Under his command, Amoy (Xiamen) became a bustling international entrepot, where Zheng oversaw ten trading companies dealing in goods ranging from sugar and silk to gunpowder.[3] Around this time, Zheng gained the favor of the Longwu Emperor of the Southern Ming, who bestowed upon him the Ming Imperial surname Zhu, and the honorary title "Guóxìngyé" (roughly, "Lord bearing the Imperial Surname").[2] The loyalists lost Fuzhou, their last foothold on the Chinese mainland, in 1646, but then worked to consolidate their position on Taiwan. That same year, Chenggong's father turned to support the Qing, and began working to convince Chenggong to give up the resistance.[4]
The Qing government attempted to blockade Taiwan in 1656, but were largely ineffective; the following year, they imposed a policy known as qianjie, forcing Chinese to retreat inland, emptying the coastal regions of southern China in order to deny Coxing | 256 | 1 |

And so ‘skull-mania’ bursts, as fashion magazines call it. The pirate symbol has become a must: you can find it on big stars t-shirts and foulards, carried by teenagers on the neck and bags, reproduced in jewels of prestigious brands for ladies. There is a profusion of bones and skulls everywhere, even embroidered on shoes. As the contemporary speaks of inconvenient catastrophes, terrorist attacks, environmental disasters, wearing a deathly icon has a paradoxically skirmish value and an apotropaic function: it protects against dangers.

The fascination with the image of the skull and the skeleton and other apocalyptic icons is not just a way to make love with death or make fun of the fear of mortality inherent in Western culture. Besides the obvious contrast between good and evil, it is a way to ironize on the dilated paranoia, to challenge an increasingly dominant, vigilant status quo. A challenge then used a lot by the subculture of heavy metal, punk or hard core bands that made the skull a public property, and also lucrative merchandise: flags, pins, t-shirts, stickers, etc. So from the | 256 | 1 |
The permit also requires Cuadrilla to tell the EA immediately if a permit condition is not met. But the EA said Cuadrilla did not disclose the missing data or the reason why it was missing. The omission was spotted when the EA reviewed the groundwater monitoring reports, it said.
Potential contamination of ground and surface water is one of the main reasons mentioned by people when they say they oppose to fracking. About a quarter of people gave this reason in the most recent government survey of attitudes to fracking.
The Preston New Road environmental permit required Cuadrilla to drill four groundwater monitoring boreholes and take samples before drilling at the site near Blackpool could start.
The permit lists 46 substances that Cuadrilla must monitor to “confirm that there is no pollution of groundwater”. Monitoring is among the measures in the permit which the EA said were designed to protect local groundwater (decision document).
The EA said yesterday:
“We have required that an urgent review is carried out by the operator [Cuadrilla] and will consider this as part of our investigation.”
Once the review is received, the EA said it would consider whether Cuadrilla had breached the conditions of its permit.

As part of the review, the EA said Cuadrilla should disclose whether any other substances had been missed in monitoring ground or surface waters. It must submit all the dates since October 2018 (the start of fracking at one Preston New Road well), when the company received groundwater monitoring results.
The EA wants to see Cuadrilla’s quality control measures on groundwater monitoring. It also asked for details of when Cuadrilla became aware that the monitoring data was missing and what action it took.
The EA said it understood that Cuadrilla had changed the groundwater monitoring contractor towards the end of 2018. It said the review should include requirements in the new contract for the missing substances and any changes in techniques from the previous contract.
A spokesperson for Preston New Road Action Group said this morning:
“Local residents who are aware of what the potential impacts of fracking can be, need to be certain that the monitoring is rigorous and that any anomalies will be acted on.

Meeting spaces were spatially changed in order to cater for their outlined functions, one ward was extended into an Annex, in general terms, the changed model for the ward was developed on the basis of creating a more open space, bringing more natural light into the corridors in order to achieve a more relaxing and less tense atmosphere. It was also suggested to re-use areas within the ward that were previously closed off, introducing changes in terms of programme to specific zones, decreasing the amount of hermetic space by simple techniques, often taking components away rather than adding new ones, and punching holes into walls where natural light needed to penetrate into corridors.
The overall scheme is based on the idea that by creating a more suitable environment both for patient and staff, the general tension amongst inpatients would decrease. In order to achieve this, the team introduced a number of zones for negotiation in which patients and staff could interact more informally, establishing an interface through which patients can pro-actively seek conversation with members of staff. Further, it was proposed to reduce the amount of hidden corners and sharp edges throughout the entire ward.

Appropriately enough, this anime I’ve | picked to restart things looks at the anime fandom itself. Otaku no Video is a two-part Original Video Anime (OVA) which was released in 1991 by Gainax. This spoof is semi-autobiographical, partly drawing on the experiences of the team behind the series. It is also the first anime covered in this column to feature extensive use of live-action footage.
The story begins in 1982 and follows Kubo Takeshi, a successful guy with a girlfriend, whose skilful at tennis, and who after taking a year off is about to go to university. While out on the town one night he gets stuck in a lift with a group of otakus – a group of geeky obsessives with a deep passion for anime among other things. One of the people in the group is Kubo’s old high school friend Tanaka Naeo, and later Kubo finds him at his new college: in cosplay, dressed up as Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam (No. 2).

Discarding this part of the story is puzzling to me. It's far more invested in defining Wonder Woman's powers and relationship to the Amazons than the random practice-fight scenes in the film. For this reason, it's the thing I most wish could be changed. But, alas... Once the movie leaves Themiscyra, it is pretty much perfect. The scenes of Diana's wonder in exploring industrial London are priceless, and I'm grateful beyond words that director Patty Jenkins took the time to explore that. That they were made humorous without lapsing into buffoonery is just icing on the cake. It's at this point I have to gush over the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. She is perfect in every way.

For this reason, it's the thing I most wish could be changed. But, alas... Once the movie leaves Themiscyra, it is pretty much perfect. The scenes of Diana's wonder in exploring industrial London are priceless, and I'm grateful beyond words that director Patty Jenkins took the time to explore that. That they were made humorous without lapsing into buffoonery is just icing on the cake. It's at this point I have to gush over the casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. She is perfect in every way. I think a lot of actors could do the physical part of the role... it's the mentality... what | 's going on in her head... where Gadot shines. And don't discount Chris Pine as Steve Trevor! In many ways, his is the most challenging role in the film. He has to serve as sidekick, teacher, comic relief, fighter, lover... the list goes on and on. And the more the movie went on, the more I came to appreciate how few actors could have pulled it off as cohesively as Pine did.
After the stopover in London, the film goes to where the action is... "The Front" of World War I. It's here that the most pivotal scene in the story comes to pass: Princess Diana becomes Wonder Woman. Horrified by the carnage she is witnessing, Diana stops to comfort a woman and her child whom have escaped the death and destruction of the nearby town of Veld, Belgium. After learning that the people there are suffering, starving, and dying, Diana decides she's had enough and climbs out of the trenches to cross "no-man's land" and lead the charge to liberate the city. It's a heart stopping moment, and will go down in super-hero cinematic history as one of the best scenes ever filmed. It's at this point that the movie sells her compassion and her power | 256 | 1 |

7/07/2013Thank you for this. I agree with every word. Julia Gillard was a fine Prime Minister. She was brave and smart and strong and had such a lack of ego. You never got the impression it was about her. Her government’s manifold achievements are all the more amazing given what she was up against – the intricacies of a hung Parliament, the pugilistic Tony Abbott, a hostile media and the whiteants in her own party. That she managed all that and kept smiling astonishes me. Australia has never been kind to female political leaders but the hatred, vitriol and sheer nastiness Julia Gillard was subjected to was like nothing I have ever seen. It was vile and ugly and disgusting and the way she dealt with it was nothing sort of superhuman. As gutted as I am to see her go part of me can’t help feeling relieved that she can have some respite now from the bullying. The media’s role in the demise of Julia Gillard was shameful. It was not just Murdoch media either. We all know the Murdoch agenda, but Fairfax and the ABC joined the feeding frenzy with gusto. I will never understand why they ignored her government’s considerable achievements | 256 | 1 |
was an aggravated felony U.S. v. Herrera-Solorzano, 114 F.3d 48 (5th Cir. 1997).
5th Circuit holds indecency with a child involving sexual contact is a crime of violence. (340) Defendant was deported after being convicted in Texas state court of four felony offenses of indecency with a child. Section 2L1.2(b)(2) provides for an enhanced offense level if the prior offense was an aggravated felony, which is defined to include a crime of violence. The Fifth Circuit held that indecency with a child involving sexual contact, a felony under Texas law, is a crime of violence, because it entails a substantial risk that physical force may be used against the victim. When an older person attempts to sexually touch a child under the age of 14, there is always a substantial risk that physical force will be used to ensure the child’s compliance. U.S. v. Velazquez-Overa, 100 F.3d 418 (5th Cir. 1996).

The district court applied a § 2L1.2(b)(2) enhancement for deportation following conviction of an aggravated felony, after finding that his June 1994 Texas conviction for burglary of a vehicle was an aggravated felony. In September 1994, this statute was amended to make it a misdemeanor. Nevertheless, the Fifth Circuit held that the burglary of the vehicle was still an aggravated felony. Federal law, rather than state law, controls, and note 7 defines an aggravated felony as any crime of violence for which the term of imprisonment imposed (regardless of any suspension) is at least five years. Under U.S. v. Rodriguez-Guzman, 56 F.3d 18 (5th Cir. 1995), conviction for burglary of a vehicle under the pre-1994 Texas Penal Code is a crime of violence. Defendant was sentenced to a five year probated sentence. The change in Texas law from a felony to a misdemeanor did not change the nature of the crime. U.S. v.

a resonator, composed of one or two metallic nanoclusters, is coupled vertically. Taking into account the resonator, we show that the transmission amplitude T of the electromagnetic radiation may display dips when the geometrical parameters are chosen properly. The presence of a resonator composed of one metallic nanocluster yields a dip at the cluster resonance frequency. When the resonator is composed of two nanoclusters, then if the nanoclusters are of the same material, two dips emerge as a consequence of the splitting of the dip of the one-nanocluster resonator.

When I interviewed Pat in 2014 about the director's cut of his notorious rock documentary The Devil's Music, we thought it might also be fun to do a 'fake' interview as if the film was just one of his low-budget horror movies. The questions and answers below should be read in that light.
The Devil’s Music was a terrific film to start with. Why did you feel the need to tinker with it (you George Lucas, you!)?
"First of all, thanks very much! It’s great that the movie found a small but extremely enthusiastic audience. Cine du Monde were eager to put something really special for the release and out-do the incredibly cool (but long deleted) US release from 2009. There were a couple of great bits that we'd lost for running time reasons, and I wanted to bring them back. The re-release was a great opportunity to scratch the itch!"

"The US release | back in 2009 also had an 'in character' commentary, but it was poorly recorded and didn't synch up the way we’d wanted. It did, however, seem that the idea itself worked just fine, so we had another crack at it and I think it works pretty well. I loved the idea of just carrying on the idea that the whole thing was 'real' for longer than we needed to. Almost like the way Stewart Lee uses repetition in comedy , where something goes from really funny to less funny to tedious to really funny again. I guess we wondered if the same principal could be applied to 'creepy' if we just held the pretence long enough. As for a 'real' one, we just ran out of time. Maybe we'll do one as a download or something."
What sort of balance is there inside you between the frustrated actor and the frustrated rock star?
"In the early '90s, I made countless music videos and four-track demos with a bunch of mates. My frustrated rock star was in full effect during that period, but hasn’t often reared its ugly head since then.

Thus, for example, if the infant seat is placed on an angle as shown in FIG. 29, this condition can be determined and taken into account when the decision is made to disable the deployment of the airbag.
The discussion above has partially centered on locating transducers and designing a system for determining whether the two target volumes, that adjacent the airbag and that adjacent the upper portion of the vehicle seat, are occupied. Other systems have been described in above-referenced patents using a sensor mounted on or adjacent the airbag module and a sensor mounted high in the vehicle to monitor the | space near the vehicle seat. Such systems use the sensors as independent devices and do not use the combination of the two sensors to determine where the object is located. In fact, the location of such sensors is usually poorly chosen so that it is easy to blind either or both with a newspaper for those transducers using high frequency electromagnetic waves or ultrasonic waves, for example. Furthermore, systems disclosed in patents and patent applications assigned to the current assignee use more than two transducers especially such that one or more can be blocked without causing serious deterioration of the system. Again, the examples here have been for the purpose of suppressing the deployment of the airbag when it is necessary to prevent injury. The sensor system disclosed can be used for many other purposes such as disclosed in the above-mentioned patents and patent applications assigned to the current assignee. The ability to use the sensors for these other applications, such as for truck trailers and cargo containers or for controlling other systems within a vehicle is generally lacking in the systems disclosed in other referenced patents.
Considering once again the condition of these figures where two transducers are used, a plot can be made showing the reflection times of the objects which are located in the region of curve E and curve F of FIG. 35. This plot is shown | 256 | 1 |

YOU do realize that this corner of the Ukraine is a major human trafficking crossing point and major smuggling center ie cigarettes to the tune of 2.1M USDs per week in 4 or 5 semi truck crossings and that has been going on for over one year now.
YOU do realize the MP from that region is considered to be the local crime boss as well and you do realize that Russian news media after accusing RS of being Nazi's for over a year "cheered" their position on gay bashings and being against the Ukrainian President.
YOU do realize that the Russian news media has "new darlings" to be used against the Ukraine--RS--just how did that happen suddenly???
YOU do realize that the Ukrainian government literally swapped out overnight all Ukrainian Customs officials and replaced them with new officers from other Ukrainian crossing points---??
YOU do realize there is a new governor of the region who is a massively hard hitter against crime, corruption and has a new State Security officer with him as well who has a anti corruption reputation.
YOU do realize that RS lost the last election and did not even have a rep in the RADA??????

to interpret the events of the 20th century, it will be convenient to separate the years before from those that followed. The years to were dominated by the two World Wars, while those since were preoccupied by the need to avoid another major war.
The dividing point is one of outstanding social and technological significance: There were profound political changes in the 20th century related to technological capacity and leadership. It was a rise based upon tremendous natural resources exploited to secure increased productivity through widespread industrialization, and the success of the United States in achieving this objective was tested and demonstrated in the two World Wars.
Technological leadership passed from Britain and the European nations to the United States in the course of these wars. This is not to say that the springs of innovation went dry in Europe. Many important inventions of the 20th century originated there.

But it was the United States that had the capacity to assimilate innovations and take full advantage from them at times when other countries were deficient in one or other of the vital social resources without which a brilliant invention cannot be converted into a commercial success.

The rapid evolution of the airplane is a striking illustration of this process, while the appearance of the tank in the first conflict and of the atomic bomb in the second show the same signs of response to an urgent military stimulus.

In other respects the two wars hastened the development of technology by extending the institutional apparatus for the encouragement of innovation by both the state and private industry. This process went further in some countries than in others, but no major belligerent nation could resist entirely the need to support and coordinate its scientific-technological effort.
While the extent of this transformation must not be overstated, and recent research has tended to stress the continuing need for the independent inventor at least in the stimulation of innovation, there can be little doubt that the change in the scale of technological enterprises had far-reaching consequences.
It was one of the most momentous transformations of the 20th century, for it altered the quality of industrial and social organization. In the process it assured technology, for the first time in its long history, a position of importance and even honour | 256 | 1 |

to note that according to OECD indicators, Spain has become a slightly more open economy than Israel, reversing previous trends. Bravo for Spain, but bad for Israel…
For a long time, until the 1980s, Spain and Israel were considered by the economic experts of international organisations such as the World Bank, the IMF, the OECD, GATT, UNCTAD and the EC itself as so-called NICs, namely Newly Industrialised countries. Sometimes they were referred to as semi-industrialised economies because of the importance in their export baskets of agricultural and mineral extraction products (including phosphates and cement).
A decisive moment for both countries came with the southern enlargement of the EC in 1986.
For Spain it meant open and unimpeded access to the vast agricultural, fisheries and agro-business markets of Central and Northern Europe, allowing the development of a huge and sophisticated food industry. A second advantage of accession was the possibility rapidly exploited by Spanish entrepreneurs of integrating EU-based value chains, known as intra-industry trade by international economists. The car industry is a good example.

Accession to the EU was also a reinforcing factor for the tourism sector, which was already booming by 1986.
For Israel it became clear that basing its future on the export of agro products was a non-starter given the fast-growing urbanisation of its fertile coast and Spain’s entry into the EU, Israel’s principal export market for fruits and vegetables. Advanced agricultural technologies, of which Israel had made a name for itself since its creation, could not counter the handicap of the exiguity of the arable land available. Exploiting the Mediterranean tourism potential was out of the question as long as there were no clear signs of peace on the horizon. Nor was it possible to attract multinationals to integrate value chains because of the invisible influence of the Arab boycott. On the other hand, the ever-increasing strategic links with the US since the Six-Day War made it possible to develop fruitful cooperation in the development of both hardware and software linked to defence and security. Israel started to develop and export weapons, defence technologies and also optical instrumentation. Many of these products and services are of double use and Israeli firms progressively started to be interested in developing security products for the civilian markets.

Phillies' Nick Maton: Starts up rehab assignment
Rotowire Jul 7, 2022
Maton (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Clearwater on Thursday.
Maton, who has been on the 10-day injured list since June 5 with a sprained right shoulder, will likely stick with Clearwater through the weekend before potentially moving his rehab assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley or Double-A Reading next week. The 25-year-old could be ready to return from the IL before the All-Star break, though he'll likely see limited action as a utility player once he rejoins the Phillies.

Jude Law’s Former Greenwich Village Pent | house in Gorgeous Church Conversion Asks $12.5M
By Dana Schulz, Tue, September 22, 2015
Remember all that hoopla over Jude Law flinging fruit from his Greenwich Village penthouse onto ogling NYU students? Well, here’s where it happened, ironically, in a former house of worship.
Built in 1860 as a Methodist church, 135 West 4th Street underwent an incredible condo conversion by FLAnk Architecture in 2006, where they beautifully preserved original church features such as stained glass windows and exposed beams, but added all the modern luxuries an A-list celeb would want. The aforementioned penthouse first sold for $6 million to entrepreneur Mark Kress and was then listed for resale for $8.5 million in 2009. It ended up selling the following year for a much-reduced $6.3 million, and then found a renter in Jude Law. Now, the duplex is back on the market asking $12,495,000, and it can be all yours (assuming you keep your orange lobbing at bay).

The man turned gravely to Sir Giles Trevor.
"My lord," he said, in English, "Sir Gervaise Tresham, he speaks Turkish

Exclamations of surprise broke from the young knights.
"Well, you have earned the appointment, Tresham," Ralph Harcourt said
heartily. "You always told me when I asked you that you were getting on,
but I had not the least idea that you were getting on like this. And can
you read and write the Turkish language?"
"Well enough for practical purposes, Ralph. At any rate, I wrote a

your example, and shut myself up for nine months with an infidel to
study his language; but I could not do it if my life depended on it. I
should throw myself off the wall at the end of the first fortnight."

said. "I always hated our lessons with the chaplain, who gave me the
character of having the thickest head of any of his pupils; but I

A survey conducted in December 2009 by the nonprofit American Revolution Center (ARC), showed that Americans knew more about the Gosselins, a TV reality family, than our U.S. Constitution.
Only 54 percent could identify James Madison as the “Father of the Constitution” even with the other choices being Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill.
When asked about the chronological order of the Declaration of Independence, 44 percent thought either the Civil War, The Emancipation Proclamation, or the War of 1812 came first.
The famous quote about Socialism, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” was recognized by only 19 percent as being made by Karl Marx. Others attributed the quote to George Washington (19 percent), Obama (15 percent), or Thomas Paine (21 percent).

One of the many major assaults on the foundations of our country was the Great Society.
However, our U.S. history textbooks, which have been heavily influenced by revisionist historians and their leftist agenda, tout the merits of the Great Society’s programs.
Statistics debunk this liberal lie.
For the past 100 years, power hungry politicians, under the guise of “soak the rich to help the poor,” have passed legislation that has created a modern day feudalism.
Although legally the last vestige of slavery and reconstruction was ended by the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Great Society legislation produced the first truly dependent class in American history, re-enslaving many poor and minorities.
President Lyndon Johnson and Congress expanded Aid to Families with Dependent Children (ADFC) by quietly changing the qualifications to include any woman with children in a household where there was no male family head present. Incentives were added that made it financially more lucrative to be unmarried than to be married and for having more children. The result of these changes to AFDC was the destruction of black marriages and a high rate of illegitimacy.

The Pageant could have been even bigger in the USA considering the reigning Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, was Miss USA. But besides the usual camp it was boring and the ratings, I believe, were the worst ever; only .9 of adults 18-49 watched, way down from last year.
One bright spot for anyone who knows how much I *love* the national costumes was that during the Parade of Nations each contestant's costume was pictured alongside them as they did their live intro.

Contraband in Prisons
The opioid epidemic has affected so many aspects of our society, including an incredible influx of contraband illegal drugs into our prisons. These drugs not only destabilize the prison environment, making it more dangerous for our corrections officers, but also prey upon the most vulnerable of the inmates who may be trying to reform themselves. The Department of Corrections has had to take drastic measures to combat this influx. I would like your support as I propose one more.

Each pen detail has been meticulously designed and crafted with to reflect and pay tribute to this magnificent achievement. The new Hanging Gardens writing instruments are intricate in detail, with a gold plated cap which artistically depicts four stepped terraces. The dark green barrel is refined with lacquer and polished to a high gloss. Edged by gold plated rings, it flows into the superbly crafted front part of the fountain pen. The | changes have begun to take place. These changes have been brought about by a number of developments, some of long standing, others of more recent vintage. This is a discontinued edition and it is very hard to find, though soon it is going to be available at Iguana Sell, because we are going to have an exhibition of special editions of Pelikan!

What we might not see is how important circles are and how the distinct properties of a circle make it useful in a variety of ways. To understand how this unique shape can be used to solve problems and understand the world around us, it’s important to understand the properties of a circle.

And when she'd found his corpse, his blood had still been warm. Blood had drip, drip, dripped from the upstairs landing onto the stairs.
She was at the carriage door without remembering stepping over to it, her hand around the padlock, her padlock. But the others had all the keys...
'Please, help me.'
She was crouched before the prisoner again, passing through the space like she was in a dream. She'd seen something last time, something that had caught her eye.
Something to do with the tattoos.
She leaned in closer, ducking her head to see the prisoner's torso.
They weren't like any language she'd ever seen, wasn't English, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic. She couldn't tell where one word ended and another began. Maybe they weren't words at all. But she'd spotted something earlier, some hint of meaning out of the corner of her eye.
The prisoner raised his head. Stared with her son's eyes.

He was staring back.
Amanda shut her eyes again, the effect making them water. Her eye was telling her one thing, that the prisoner was slumped down just as he had been, but her mind another, that the prisoner was staring straight back, face swollen and lips opening like a wound to speak.
'Please, I'll do anything. Just let me go.' Skeebs continued to plead.
'Just a minute, son,' Amanda muttered to herself. Let her deal with... She stared hard at the tattoos, taking in every curl of ink. She had to decipher them before she woke up.
Woke up? She frowned at the thought. Was this a dream? No, she didn't remember going to sleep. Mustn't be distracted, not with the smell of cooking so tantalising outside. There were clues to be solved, something that would help her save her children in the tattoos, she was certain of it.
Emily's body had stared at her when she'd got home. It was her fault they'd died and her daughter knew it. That blank gaze alone was too hard to bear.

I noticed in my younger days, that when I made an attempt to get closer to God, the same type of mishaps would befall me. It's like that old saying, "be careful what you pray for"!

The bombers killed are: Allekema Lamari, Serhane Abdelmajid Fakhet, Abdennabi Kounjaa, Arish Rifaat, Jamal Ahmidan (alias “El Chino”), and the brothers Mohammed Oulad Akcha and Rachid Oulad Akcha. Others are believed to have escaped during the shootout. [New Yorker, 7/26/2004; Irujo, 2005, pp. 360-361; El Mundo (Madrid), 3/22/2007] Lamari, Fakhet, and Ahmidan are thought to have been the top leaders of the plot. [BBC, 3/10/2005] It will later emerge that close associates of both Fakhet and Lamari were government informants (see Shortly Before March 11, 2004), and that Spanish intelligence specifically warned in November 2003 that the two of them were planning an attack in Spain on a significant target (see November 6, 2003). Furthermore, Fakhet himself may have been a government informant (see Shortly After October 2003).

JavaScript is still missing some things, like an integrated IDE with a source-level debugger, multicore support, light-weight fibers/coroutines, and some other features. But on the other hand, these often don't work well for "real" languages, either, and they are improving rapidly in JavaScript. For example, a popular package for NodeJS includes a source-level debugger -- run through a web-browser, naturally.
That JavaScript is becoming a "real" language means one more thing: it would be an excellent teaching tool. Colleges struggle with find the best language for teaching computer science concepts. Colleges often choose LISP, C, or Java. I suggest JavaScript as the better choice. It has enough "functional" and "object oriented" features to teach these concepts. But the biggest reason is that all students have to learn it anyway, since it's part of the browser (and what computer science geek doesn't do "View Source" on web pages?).
So in conclusion, in the competition among "real" programming languages to find the best one for your next project, consider JavaScript as an alternative.

Here we go again, | I am not sure if the confusion regarding franking credits is an intentionally misleading argument by Labor or if Shorten doesn’t understand, if the latter is the case, then Shorten should never ever take the reins of the countries finances, the franking credits are tax that has been paid on behalf of the investor, any other argument is redundant, I see comments here regarding trades people and the notion that you think you could claim tax back on the money you pay them, I am assuming that the person making this comment is talking about the gst you pay the tradesman, how is this argument remotely comparable to the franking credits is ludicrous and is an attempt to cloud the straight forward argument regarding franking credits, this is Shotent’s attempt at envy politics, trying to compare other countries is just as ludicrous and misleading, eg in the UK each member of a couple on the pension are allowed to earn around £6000 from shares before there is any tax payable, again it is just a comment to cloud the issue, the only person in Labor who is seriously considering the removal of the franking credits is Shorten, he was pulled up by the party hierarchy when he first raised it and told it would cost votes and that it was also an unfair tax on | 256 | 1 |

I have always been fascinated by the ocean and attracted to its underwater mysteries.
In the last few years, it has become my passion to find out all I can about the Sea of Cortes and the lower Baja Sur Pacific Ocean inhabitants. And there is a reason for that. We, humans, are made of 60 percent water. As a fetus, we grow up in a salty bag made of 90 percent water with almost the same chemical composition as the ocean. At early stages, our arms and legs resemble fins and we are one chromosome away from fish. We also share amphibious reflexes and extra senses of marine mammals. Our planet is 71 percent water and continental land is surrounded by many oceans and seas. Now my obsession seems like a reasonable natural curiosity.
In my research, I came across the term Pelagic. The word is derived from ancient Greek (pélagos), which means open sea. A pelagic zone consists of the water column of the open ocean and is divided into several vertical regions.

In my research, I came across the term Pelagic. The word is derived from ancient Greek (pélagos), which means open sea. A pelagic zone consists of the water column of the open ocean and is divided into several vertical regions.
The Epipelagic is the illuminated surface area that most of us swim in and also where most marine life concentrates like plankton, | floating seaweed, jellyfish, many species of sharks and cetaceans like dolphins, porpoise and whales. The Mesopelagic is a twilight area where swordfish, squid, and some species of cuttlefish live. The Bathypelagic is where the ocean is pitch black and has inhabitants like giant squids hunted by deep-diving sperm whales. In the Abyssopelagic or abyssal zone, very few creatures live in the cold temperatures, high pressures and complete darkness of this depth. Lastly, the Hadopelagic or hadal zone is mostly formed of trenches.
Pelagic also refers to an ecosystem that relies completely on phytoplankton. Phytoplankton manufactures its own food using a process of photosynthesis and is why it inhabits the upper sunlit epipelagic zone. It is this plankton that feeds migratory forage fish like herring, anchovies, capelin, and menhaden and, consequently, their predators like sea lions, billfish (marlin, sailfish, swordfish), tuna and tuna-like species like yellowfin and bluefin, skipjack, mahi-mahi, bonitos, oceanic sharks and large rays.

s are already safer than general aviation and military fighters and bombers flown by highly trained military personnel. Using this technology, modified and used for what would only be a last attempt of survival should IMHO not be too controversial.
Pilot suicide/massmurder is a freak occurrence and no whiz kid or any less harmless entity would not have readily available real time information as to the occurrence of such an event; or much less time to actually try to sabotage a safe descent and landing.
Look, whether one likes it or not, locked and fortified cockpit doors are here to stay, so the achilles heel is unfortunately not potential hijackers, but the flight crew themselves. For instance, a pilot determined to crash his plane could quite easily attack or overwhelm a flight attendant who is sitting in for the captain/co-pilot that has left the cockpit — and flight attendants (i.e. usually women) would have a much harder time fighting back, while the (pilot) perpetrator would have the advantage of surprise as well.

While I believe it is a tragedy, I do not agree with all these voices requiring remote controls and other high tech super complicated devices is the way to go.
There is no way, total control and total safety will ever be reached. It’s just an illusion. And with remote controlling an aircraft or similar solution, I’m convinced we just open a whole box of Pandora with new problems (hi-jacking the system, losing connection in the worst moment, etc.). Besides, the costs for that will be horrendous.
I think the two person in the cockpit rule is a simple approach and will reduce the risk to a certain extent. Though even that will not guarantee 100% safety, as a malicious pilot can still act quickly enough to bring an aircraft in a situation that cannot be recovered from. I would assume in the worst case that could even happen if the second pilot is in his seat (senior captain knowing what he’s doing, a junior F/O having little clue how to fly an aircraft manually, less so to recover it from an out of the envelope situation).

This is a research of dramaturgy that expresses a truly specific exchange, responding to the specific environment (= people, history, space) of Montalbano Elicona. This dramaturgical research involves
a technical research on sustainability; an exploration of technical tools that can be used for a site-specific performances, that help create a theatrical transformation with the most limited damages to the natural environment.

Cheese: Elles Kiers, a dutch artist that uses knowledge on ways to prepare food as background research for art installations or performances, adding her view to it, was involved in a research about cheese making. In a previous trip we met a local cheese maker, Ezio. He showed us how he makes a cheese | called provolone from the milk of his own cows. It included traditional ways of taking track of important parameters in the fabrication. For example the old way to decide about the temperature of the milk was the sound that a stick, made out of a particular type of wood, makes against the border of the pan. It changes exactly at the right temperature, so that a thermometer was not necessary. Elles was inspired by his work to explore cheese making in Montalbano and set to make her own version of the cheese from the same milk. Ezio gave us 30 liters of milk from which Elles made 3 kinds of soft cheeses in the shape of eggs. Cheeses were presented in an installation into the higher of the castle’s towers and fed to the spectators. After this, in collaboration with participant artist Emanuela Ravida, Elles offered us a “milking” performance with the left over of the milk.
In response to Elles’ research, a very interesting gathering took place: an afternoon with the community’s elderly people, where they offered us to teach how to make traditional pasta. We shared songs, stories, local folklore and the get together ended up in spontaneous performances by the villagers and the | 256 | 1 |

As a new park, not yet fully developed, it is only open at present from Friday through Mondays. The gate is opened at 8am and closes at 10pm. The cost to visit is $6/person, with children under 12 free and seniors at half price. Part of our work here was to man the fee booth one day each week, however it only required both of us at the most busy times.
The park has more than 40 miles of trails, open to hiking and mountain biking and in time some will also be opened to horsemen. Trails in what is called the "front country" are also open for dogs when kept on a leash. In the back country, which is the larger area and the more rocky part where the water actually enters into the aquifer, dogs are not allowed. It is an excellent area for birders, and one of them is the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.
The area is also home to coyotes, cougars, raccoons, ring-tailed cats, white-tail deer, and numerous other species of native game, along with the unwanted ferrel hogs. It is quite common for visitors to spot wildlife on the trails through the undeveloped areas of the park. Since | 256 | 1 |

Not long after the establishment of the second Eden, Adam and Eve were duly informed that their repentance was acceptable, and that, while they were doomed to suffer the fate of | the mortals of their world, they should certainly become eligible for admission to the ranks of the sleeping survivors of Earth. They fully believed this gospel of resurrection and rehabilitation which the Melchizedeks so touchingly proclaimed to them. Their transgression had been an error of judgment and not the sin of conscious and deliberate rebellion. Adam and Eve did not, as citizens of Jerusem, spirit indwelt when they functioned on Earth in the first garden. But shortly after their reduction to mortal status they became conscious of a new presence within them and awakened to the realization that human status coupled with sincere repentance had made it possible for the spirit to indwell them. It was this knowledge of being spirit indwelt that greatly heartened Adam and Eve throughout the remainder of their lives.
Adam knew about the dispensational resurrection which occurred simultaneously with his arrival on the planet, and he believed that he and his companion would probably be repersonalized in connection with the advent of the next order of sonship. He did not know that Christ was so soon to appear on Earth. Even so, it was always a comfort to Adam and Eve, as well as something difficult for them to understand, to ponder the only personal message they ever received from Christ.

The only control checking required is to ensure there are no data conflicts within the Private Library. It is acceptable for two Private Libraries to contain the same design data, so no checks across libraries are done. Public Libraries are the official project data repositories. All data delivered to external customers comes from Public Libraries. Public Libraries are overseen by Data Managers who configure the libraries with varying degrees of control. Typically the libraries are organized with a level structure whereby the lowest levels have the least amount control. Control gets more stringent as the levels increase, and the highest level denotes data released to manufacturing. Almost every attribute concerning data integrity is programmable by the Data Manager. Through a Data Manager Utility, they configure the structure (the number of levels and versions, including the connections between them), the various authorities, the required criteria to enter each level, and the types of Library Controlled Processes required at each level. The system can handle numerous public libraries, and each public library can service unlimited users.

Senior Advocate Kapil S | ibal was the arguing counsel in two landmark judgments in 2017 – the Triple Talaq (Shayara Bano v UOI) and the Privacy Case (Puttaswamy v UOI). In the Triple Talaq case, he represented the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), which took the stand that triple talaq practice was valid and constitutional.
1) You were the arguing counsel in both Triple Talaq and Privacy Judgments? What is your first view on the outcome of both legal challenges?
Mr. Sibal – I am delighted by both the outcomes. As far as the grant of triple talaq is concerned - where a husband says talaq thrice and divorce takes place - that’s a practice which according to data collected so far is a dying practice. And I think the Muslim community itself recognises it as sinful. I don’t think that such a practice is one prevalent in the Muslim community in large numbers or is regarded as something that should be given legitimacy by large sections of the Muslim community. The more important issue in the judgment is the majority of 3:2, by which personal law will not be subject to scrutiny under Part III of the Constitution. Justices Khehar | 256 | 1 |

Factories across the region rely on Tianjin to export their goods and to import iron ore, coal, oil and other commodities. The port is also one of the top importers of cars in China.

British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline PLC said one of its manufacturing sites had been affected by the blast but a spokesman said it was too early to say to what extent. GSK’s operations in Tianjin are focused on the manufacture of consumer health products.
Tianjin ranks 10th globally in container traffic, handling about 14 million twenty-foot-equivalent units, the standard measure for containers, according to Alphaliner, a research firm. That’s about the same number as the combined volume at Los Angeles and Long Beach, the largest U.S. port complex, though it lags the busiest southern Chinese ports, including Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Tianjin “is absolutely an enormous port … it’s of huge importance in respect to the distribution of goods around the northern region of China, especially the Beijing metropolitan area,” said John Manners-Bell, chief executive of U.K.-based logistics research firm Transport Intelligence Ltd.
He said even minor delays could ripple across supply chains because major ports like Tianjin serve as focal points for global shipping as well as transportation inland. | 256 | 1 |
