of folk-tales, but they have not been introduced into society by the novelists or playwrights who have made their sister-sufferers undying favourites. They are essentially moral tales, their good characters bearing their unmerited misfortunes with unvarying meekness and patience, and being ultimately rewarded, while the envious and malicious rivals who have supplanted or slandered them are punished in the end. But they have not taken a firm hold on the west, where they are probably destined to become forgotten when the progress of education has replaced folk-lore by literature, while they are likely to go on living for ages in the east, which seems to have been their original home. In the present collection the story of the Substituted Princess occurs several times. In "Phulmati Rani" the heroine is a wife instead of a bride, which makes the substitution more thanIndian tales for a hero or heroine to demand a spouse, generally of a more or less supernatural nature, whose name is known but nothing more. Just as the Fan Prince was demanded, under the apparently meaningless name of Sabr, so is the hand of the Princess Labam longed for by the Raja's son in No. 22, although her existence was unknown to him till he heard a parrot pronounce her name one day; and so is the acquisition of a Bel-Princess resolved upon by the prince in No. 21, because his sisters-in-law say to him, in a disagreeable manner, "We think that you will marry a Bel-Princess." Muniya, the narrator of the story, "says that telling the prince he would marry a Bel-Princess was equivalent to saying he would not marry at all; for these brothers' wives knew she

how devilish hard it is to get what one wants. What a conceited young idiot you must have thought me when we used to talk down at Milldean!" "You were always an excellent companion. Let's ring for Thompson and execute the deed." Jeremy could not refuse, and could not yet consent. Grantley stood smoking airily and looking at him with a whimsical smile. Then the door opened and the butler came in, unsummoned. "Ah, the fates decide!" exclaimed Grantley with a laugh. "Where's a pen, Jeremy?" "For you, sir," said Thompson, holding out a salver with a letter on it. "Oh!" Grantley laid down his pen, took the letter, and sat down at the writing-table. "Wait a minute; I want you to witness something for me," he said to the butler. Thompson stood in serene immobility. His thoughts were far away, engrossed into you. You'd hate yourself. Oh, and, my dear, I think you'd hate me! And I couldn't bear that. No, you must be reasonable. There's no other way." Blake hid his face in his hands. He made no further effort. He knew that her words were true. Sibylla walked into the bedroom, leaving the two alone. Neither now moved nor spoke.

partnered with startup Flirtey in November 2016 to make the first-ever commercial pizza delivery by drone. The pie was dropped off to a couple in New Zealand. In 2018, HBO teamed up with brand delivery agency Fooji and Drone Dudes to send pizzas to fans of its show Silicon Valley. Drones also have potential to change the way food is delivered inside restaurants. In 2015, Infinium Robotics developed a drone waiter known as the Infinium-Serve. The drones can carry up to 4.4 pounds of food and drink, which equates to about two pints of beer, two glasses of wine, and a whole pizza. Similarly, in 2016, a Dutch university opened a pop-up cafe that used drone waiters to take and deliver customer orders. In April 2019, Google received permission to PIRTLE, Judge.

WCS in 2015. In order to get the new system started, Blizzard is planning three WCS Circuit Championship events together with up to eight sponsored WCS circuit events hosted and supported by ESL, DreamHack and other partners who apply. As the name implies, the format will function similarly to the golf and tennis circuits in traditional sports. The WCS Circuit Standings will serve as the evolution of the WCS Premier League and is open to all players based outside Korea. The WCS Circuit Standings will be the counterpart to the WCS Korea Standings, which will include players participating in the GSL and SSL in Korea as well as any who dare challenge Korean players on their own turf. In addition to the new tournament system this year, Blizzard is raisingin the logo is strongly inspired by the features of the 1915 Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.

"Oh, Ginger," he breathes, and my hips jerk forward as I bring myself to a climax. Stars pop before my eyes from the force of it. Then I slump back against him and close my eyes for a while, catching my breath. "If you would please," Desmond asks after a suitable amount of time has passed, "madam, untie me now."

Sunday, September 27, 2009 Australian Court Slams Bottle Domains' Lax Security The Victorian Supreme Court has chastised Bottle Domains for its "extraordinary indifference to the effect of credit card fraud on its victims" over attempts to downplay to customers the seriousness of a security breach. The domain registrar had its accreditation terminated by the domain name regulator auDA in April when it emerged the company didn't disclose a 2007 security breach. iTnews has contacted Bottle owner Nicholas Bolton for comment. The incident came to light after Bottle Domains suffered a more serious incident last January in which its database was hacked and sold on the internet. AuDA said Bottle's failure to notify it at the time of the earlier incidents breached its obligations and was grounds for termination of its registrar agreement, which wouldBook Information: Web, the John Thomas Rourke, M.D., ex-CIA covert Operations Officer, weapons expert, and survival authority, has accomplished one of his goals - he's helped his young friend Paul Rubenstein locate his parents.

At right, Booker speaks with volunteers for the Hillary Clinton campaign after speaking at a Milwaukee field office in March 2016. | AP; Washington Post/Getty Images Booker, after all, is a junior senator in the minority party. But this skepticism felt rooted, too, in the recent history of this city. Booker was the mayor here from 2006 to 2013, when he won a special Senate election to replace the late Frank Lautenberg—after which he was re-elected in 2014 to his current six-year term. During his time as mayor, Booker worked to become one of the best-known mayors in America,hopscotching the country giving often lucrative talks, stockpiling Twitter followers, starring in the Brick City television show on the Sundance Channel and demonstrating an ongoing penchant for publicity stunts like bringing diapers to homebound citizens in snowstorms. His record on the ground was more complicated. Through his charisma and connections, he attracted to the city, and especially to the downtown core, a mixture of corporate headquarters, hotels, restaurants and grocery stores. But unemployment remained higher than the state and national rates. Under Booker’s leadership, crime in the city went down—then it went back up. There were budget cuts. There were tax hikes. Citizens groused. In 2006, he won his election with 72 percent of the vote. In 2010, that went down to 59. And one of the signatures of

and political experience in the United States. Let me address some the points you raise: First you argue that corporate media is exaggerating the importance of the nomination and it just feeds the notion that anybody can overcome racism in America. As a New York born Puerto Rican/Latino the importance of the nomination to our community is unprecedented. Though racism is structural and will not be eliminated by one appointment Mr. Dixon the narrative is important. A diabetic Latina, who lost her father when she was nine, raised in a housing project speaking a foreign language, attended Princeton, was editor a Yale Law Review, and served on the bench for seventeen years is a tribute and recognition of the important contributions Latin@s have made to this nation.

They claimed that their children, along with 5,000 other children of “Mexican and Latin descent”, were victims of unconstitutional discrimination by being forced to attend separate “Mexican” schools in the Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and El Modeno school districts of Orange County. Judge Paul J. McCormick ruled in favor of Mendez and his co-plaintiffs on February 18, 1946. As a result “separate but equal” ended in California schools and legally enforced separation of racial and national groups in the public education system. The governor

The day after his inauguration, millions of women joined protests against him across the country. As the mid-term elections approached, Democrats saw a surge of women who wanted to represent the party - a stark contrast to previous years when they appeared reluctant to enter politics.

The thought seemed to come from nowhere. Three times the knock sounded, and on the third the door burst open—outward, onto the porch—to reveal Egan in the lit room within; shaven, shirtless, and frozen mid-lunge for what I could only assume was a weapon of some sort. He stared. I tried to cry out. “Milja?” Grabbing his pistol he ran out barefoot onto the porch and looked around for enemies that were not there.

As the girl solidified Naruto lashed out. "Hundred Hand Strikes!" In a blink of an eye he spun around, his fist nothing more than a blur as he threw a dozen punches in a span of a second something he picked up from Hinata. A pause. "Ah, Ouch!"

which the governor’s message was read. TEXAS POSTMASTERS. A NUMBER OF THEM NOMINATED AT WASHINGTON. The House and Senate in Seasion—The Tariff Hearing—Judge Brewer Sworu in—New Rules Ready for the House. Washington News. TIIE TARIFF HEARINGS. Washington, January 6.—The first gentlemen to appear before the ways and means committee this morning was W. F. Cheney, of South Manchester, Conn., president of the Silk Association of America. While the senate bill, he said, maae an average reduction of 10 per cent, in the duty on silk it was ac-ceptable to him. Britton Richardson, secretary of the same association, advocated the imposi-tion of a compound duty on silk. He said about one-half of the silk consumed in this country was of American manu-facture. The great obstacle which American manufacturers had to contend against was under valuation of imports. He did not believe any duty could be laid on raw silk high enough to protect the silk growers of this countrywithout crippling manufacturers. He agreed to a suggestion made by Mr. Floater, that it would require a duty of about 1,000 per cent, to protect the cocoon raisers and that this duty would necessitate a duty of 1,500 perf cent, on finished pro-ducts. Joseph Neuman of San Francisco favored the importation duty on raw silk. Phillip Walker, chief of the silk bureau, department of agriculture, sub-mitted specimens of cocoons and silk produced from those raised in the United States. He dwelt upon the importance of building up the silk industry of the United States. If we could produce all our silk it would ad 1 $15,000,000 to the income of the farmers. The agricultural department has come to the conclusion that all the raw silk needed in this country could be produced if there was a duty of one dollar per pound on raw silk.

interpretation" (Bánffy 2001:53). Their contexts were sometimes not even recorded. As Gimbutas remarked, "I saw thousands of figurines lying in boxes in museum storerooms, completely ignored and not understood" (personal communication). During the 1960s, proponents of the "New Archaeology" considered it unscientific for archaeologists to investigate the beliefs of prehistoric people. At the same time, excavations of Neolithic sites throughout southeast Europe were unearthing thousands of exquisitely painted ceramics, temple models, altars and offering vessels, stylized anthropomorphic sculptures, often with animal masks and ceremonial clothing. Gimbutas recognized it was impossible to understand the early societies that produced these extraordinary remains without studying their abundantly preserved symbolism. She, therefore, devoted the remaining thirty years of her life to an in-depth investigation of the iconography and social structure of the earliest farmers of Europe whose distinctive cultures virtually disappeared during the transition to Bronze Age societies. Methodology Inof once-living contexts, they should not be studied in isolation as arbitrary images, but are best understood "on their own planes of reference, grouped according to their inner coherence" (Gimbutas 1989:xv). In The Gods and Goddesses of Old Europe (1974) and The Language of the Goddess (1989), she discusses Old European symbolic elements as part of a "cohesive and persistent ideological system" that crosses the boundaries of time and space. Extremely ancient rituals and myths that have endured into the historic period offer invaluable opportunities for studying the function of prehistoric imagery. In the folk culture of Lithuania, for instance, that Gimbutas experienced as a child, the ancient songs, stories, dances, seasonal celebrations, communal rituals, sculptures, textile patterns, even architectural features are elements of a complex fabric of ancient beliefs arising from a deep respect for the natural world.

Henderson, supra at 537, here there was no emergency which prevented the police from making a detailed inquiry as to the description of the back seat passenger. The police had at least three opportunities to obtain a more detailed description from Colon, first at the scene of the crime, second when he was telephoned to appear at the criminal court to make a formal complaint, and third when he actually met Dugan at the courthouse and before he went into the courtroom to observe Dickerson and his companions.

Although each of these observations was brief and occurred at night on a city street, the time was adequate to form a mental impression of the driver's features. Indeed, Moruzzi testified at the state court suppression hearing that, at that time, he noticed that the driver was a black male, between the ages of seventeen and nineteen years of age, with a slender build and short hair and that it stood out in his memory that the driver's ears protruded away from his head.

Basar notwithstanding, most of the other Commission members seemed almost giddy about the TDZ’s proffered blessings — which, as Lipscomb described them, via words and PowerPoint, would include a revamped Liberty Bowl, a new multi-purpose facility in place of the current moribund Coliseum, a new Fairgrounds stadium, a new gym for adjoining Fairview Middle School, and oodles of other benefits, including, on the north end of the current Fairgrounds, gleaming new retail enterprises that would becarefully recruited so as not to conflict with commercial activities elsewhere in the TDZ — namely, Cooper-Young and Overton Square. There was a feasibility study demonstrating just how all this would jell, said Lipscomb, who promised to make it available to the Commissioners at some point later on. Did the project seem over-ambitious, especially since it would tap an unusually large geographic area (the same area which, in theory, would reap measurably more tax revenue as a direct of the TDZ)? Lipscomb put up a slide showing that all kinds of other cities — including Nashville, ever a yardstick — had managed TDZs over even larger areas.

Prosecutor in Istanbul. It seeks the arrest of Graham Fuller, an 80-year-old former analyst in the CIA, who lives in Canada. The warrant identifies Fuller as a “former CIA official” and claims that he attempted to “overthrow the government of the Republic of Turkey” and obstruct “the missions” of the Turkish government. The reference here is to the July 2016 coup, which the Turkish government claims was carried out by the so-called Gülen movement. The Gülen movement consists of supporters of Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen, who runs a global network of schools, charities and businesses from his home in the United States. The government of Turkey has designated Gülen’s group a terrorist organization and claims that its members have stealthily infiltrated Turkish state institutions since the 1980s. Eversince the failed coup, Ankara has engaged in a controversial campaign to remove so-called Gülenists from prominent posts in government and the private sector. More than 50,000 people have been arrested on terrorism charges and are awaiting trial. Another 150,000 public and private sector employees have been summarily fired from their job. Many in Turkey accuse the CIA of having colluded with Gülenists to topple Erdoğan’s pro-Islamist government. Fuller is accused of having strong links with Gülen and of having been instrumental in helping the exiled cleric receive permanent residency in the US. Some Turkish media claim that Fuller acted as a “CIA handler” of Gülen, who is accused of being a CIA agent. Fuller’s CIA career involved a tour in Turkey in the 1960s. He concluded his career

The following day, Ms. Gueye returned to Dr. Manugian, where she explained that, after running, she experienced "shivering" in both legs, but by the time she actually saw a physician at the emergency room, the spasms had resolved. However, she was still experiencing low back pain, and she reiterated she did not have any problems prior to her work injury. (Ex. 3 at 59.) Dr. Manugian noted he had "great difficulty" persuading Ms. Gueye that, while she suffered a resolving back strain on April 9, the spondylosis pre-existed her injury and was not active.

and Dutch Navy despatched a fleet of 28 battleships against the Islands to capture the ports occupied by the pirates. However, before any shot was fired, British government took control of the Isles and promised to resolve the pirate crisis. Dutch Navy recalled its fleet; nonetheless, the Netherlands technically remained at war with the Isles of Scilly. It has been claimed that due to obscurity of how a nation could declare war against a small part of another nation, Dutch politicians never took initiative to declare peace officially. In 1985, Roy Duncan, historian and Chairman of Isles of Scilly wrote to the Dutch Embassy in London and revealed the myth that the Islands are still at war with Netherlands as no peace treaty was signed after the declaration ofthe war. Diplomats scrutinised the historical records and found the myth correct. In 1986, the then Dutch Ambassador visited the islands and signed a peace treaty. The peace was officially declared on April 17, 1986 three hundred and thirty five years after the war was declared.

"Thank you," Kendrick said, giving her another kiss on the cheek. Vik's brown eyes watched the exchange with interest. His friend was clearly interested in Gemma, though not in the way that Vik was. Ken found her a fascinating subject for his art. Vik found her fascinating in a variety of different ways, none of which pertained to art in any discernible way. She was clearly struggling with her decision, but determined to embrace the new experience. "Shall I change?" She held up the dresses, casting about for a place to go. "In a little while. Why don't we talk about what I'm looking for?" "Okay. I thought a portrait?" "Not exactly. I wantto explore your essence." Vik couldn't control a snort. Kendrick glared at him. Gemma looked up, surprised that he was still there. Vik had never felt so innocuous before. He wasn't sure he liked the feeling. He'd never had a woman blow him off like that. He was more than passably good looking and charming. He never lacked for female companionship, yet she wouldn't give him the time of day, he was sure. "No, thanks." Ken blew him off too.

South Bend police interviewed victims and witnesses, but because the attacks occurred at night, no one had clearly seen the attacker’s face. Working with few leads, the police department put together a task force to investigate the rapes. Police did their best to create a composite sketch of the suspect—a young, black male—and officers were told the suspect may be traveling around the River Park neighborhood on a bicycle. In the early morning hours of July 24, 1996, Alexander was riding his bicycle through the River Park neighborhood when he was stopped by police because he met the general description of the suspect. Alexander denied any connection with the sexual assaults. The officers photographed Alexan- der and his bicycle and, after Alexander refused to surren- der a blood sample, let him go.

Roy Moore, a GOP Senate candidate from Alabama, has been accused of sexual misconduct with a then-14-year-old girl. Other women also accused Moore of pursuing them when they were teenagers. A woman said that when she was 14 years old, Roy Moore, then 32 and now a candidate for Senate in Alabama, initiated a sexual encounter with her. The Washington Post reported Thursday that a woman named Leigh Corfman said Moore invited her to his home when she was a teenager, took off her clothes, and encouraged her to touch him. Corfman told The Post she first met Moore outside an Alabama courtroom in 1979. She said she was sitting with her mother when Moore struck up a conversation and offered to sit with her while her mother attended a hearing. Moore thengot her phone number and called her days later, Corfman told The Post. On two separate occasions, she recalled, Moore picked her up around the corner from her house and drove her to his house in the woods. She said that during the second occasion Moore removed her clothes and touched her. Corfman said Moore also gave her alcohol on one of the visits. "I wanted it over with — I wanted out," she said she remembered thinking. "Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over." The legal age of consent in Alabama is 16, as it was when Corfman said the incident occurred. Three other women interviewed by The Post said Moore pursued them when they were 16 to 18 years old but did not engage

Waratahs finally found some playing fluency after the interval and 21-year-old lock Ned Hanigan scored to put his side back in the contest. The margin was further reduced when Reece Robinson beat fellow Rugby League convert Marika Koroibete to score in the corner. With all the rugby being played in the Rebels' half the Waratahs reaped the rewards in the 77th minute when they elected to take a scrum 10 metres out rather than a penalty with Michael Wells scoring. Horwitz then capitalised on the numerical superiority by darting through a gap and sealing the Waratahs’ second win of the season. The Rebels failed to score in the second half and just ran out of firepower. The desperate loss leaves the Rebels without a win from their four games. "We needed to grab someimproved stability. However, in heavy seas, surf, or high winds, a raft of this design is thought to be highly susceptible to forces that batter the raft both above and below the water surface, as a result of which the raft is likely to be flipped over upon the occupants. In such an event, there is a very real danger of the occupants being crushed. This danger arises because as the raft flips over, the entire contents of the bag crash with great force against the floor of the raft. The contents may comprise thousands of pounds of water. This weight is likely to crush the occupants beneath the floor of the overturned raft. The desirability clearly appears, accordingly, for a raft in which no ballast is carried

In contrast to 35B, the mouth did not smile at all, but the eyes were warm and friendly with a humorous glint to them, so that he looked as though he were smiling at her. "Thank you." He was lean and his distinguished features carried the slightly bored expression that sometimes went with refinement, but he seemed to be on the best of terms with the other two.

Meanwhile, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a carbomb went off in the town of Azaz, close to the offices of the Syrian interim government, which represents the opposition in rebel-held areas, killing at least five people and wounding others. The Observatory and the activist-run Azaz Media Center confirmed the toll, saying it was likely to rise. Azaz lies on a key opposition supply route and is a hub for fighters and opposition activists. It also hosts people displaced from fighting elsewhere in the country. The town has been the scene of several attacks, some claimed by the Islamic State group.

The Supreme Leader’s Muzak “Kitsch is the absolute denial of shit,” Milan Kundera famously snarled in his 1984 novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. In his story, a painter declares an aesthetic war on the kitschy pop culture that was crafted and enforced by communist Czech bureaucrats during the Prague Spring revolt of 1968. And what was particularly diabolical about tacky fluff? “Kitsch causes two tears to follow in quick succession. The first tear says: ‘How nice to see children running on the grass!’ The second tear says: ‘How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass!…The brotherhood of man on earth will be possible only on a basis of kitsch.” Of course, kitsch as defined by Kundera is forced by gunpoint in atotalitarian society to ensure that its slave-citizens believe they live in the best and happiest place on Earth. Such an ethos has dominated North Korean pop culture under the rule of an aesthete who had a zest for bouffant hairdos, polyester suits, platform shoes, and had a habit of inspecting banal products at supermarkets such as toilet paper, sausages, and plastic bowls as if they were fine pieces of art. It can be difficult to not snicker at the pop culture of Supreme Leader Kim Jung-il’s fantasy kingdom that he recently departed.

a signal sent on the up link from the mobile terminal to the base station, for example, a signal of reservation packets and data packets transmitted on a reservation channel and transmission channel. The base station detects the signal fluctuation occurring on the up link for the transmission from the mobile terminal to the base station, and generate power control information to compensate for the signal fluctuation occurring on the down link on the basis of the detected signal fluctuation and the power control information sent from the mobile terminal. Then, the base station modifies the transmission power of the signal transmitted on the down link from the base station to the mobile terminal on the basis of the generated power control information.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, the Provisional IRA managed to sustain a successful and highly innovative improvised explosive device campaign against British interests. This was despite being subject to the security constraints imposed by the United Kingdom. Of the 1,382

The boats landed at a quarter past 9 this morning, but not without considerable difficulty, owing to a heavy swell of sea which accompanied the change of wind.

On returning to the Rock, the writer found that the artificers had been able to land regularly, both at the morning and evening tides, and that they had added eight hours to the working period.

He directed the field staff of the Municipal Corporations and the Municipal Councils in the state to display identity cards while on duty. All officers of these departments in future would have to stay at their places of posting. He said the government was ready to privatise sanitation in the state. Income of all Municipal Corporations and Municipal Councils was likely to be increased by 30 to 35 per cent during the year, he added. Referring to the pen-down strike by the Punjab Ministerial Services Union, he said it was totally illegal. The state government employees were already drawing maximum salaries as compared to that of the neighbouring states, he said, and appealed to the employeesof the Ministerial services to end the agitation. September 30, 1998 Bill Clinton visit to South Asia postponedWashington D.C. - US President Bill Clinton has postponed his planned visit to South Asian countries—India, Pakistan and Bangladesh—in November this year. In a letter to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed on Wednesday, Clinton expressed regret that he and his wife were unable to accept her invitation to visit Bangladesh in November. US ambassador to Bangladesh, John Holzman, disclosed this at a press briefing at the national press club. In his letter, President Clinton made it clear that the trip to South Asia was postponed because consultations with India and Pakistan on non-proliferation issues had not reached a stage where a visit to the region could be productive. Clinton, however, said progress was being made in the talks and hoped the situation would

Lieutenant Muchanan, and published in London in 1814. One cannot imagine enemy successes being so impartially celebrated in the bitter atmosphere of war in modern times. Defeats that won glory After the battle shown on the preceding two pages, the captured Chesapeake was led into the harbor of Halifax by her captors ( right ), the white ensign symbolically flying over the flag of the Unoted States. This was one of several notable American defeats, which nevertheless had certain aspects in which the new nation would take pride. The Chesapeake had been in port less than two months since her last cruise and most of her personnel, officers and men, were new to the ship. Her orders were to cruise on the British line of communications to Canada, a most importantBritish whalers, drove the balance to seek shelter in neutral ports, and cleared tha area for American whalers, previously having taken a prize carrying £11,000—a squadron was sent to catch him. For six weeks he was blockaded and eventually, when his vessel had been severely damaged in a squall, was forced to fight both ships. The battle lasted nearly two and one-half hours, resulting in the captire of the Essex . The great disparity of forces and the length of the engagement caused tremendous American losses which would undoubtedly have been less had POrter surrounded earlier. Out of 255 men, only 75 were effective when the colors were struck. Even in her defeat, the Essex was the most successful of all the frigates. Decisive battles on the lakes The most

works at once raised against it, and manned by the Athenians. That on the side of Pallene had no works raised against it. They did not think themselves strong enough at once to keep a garrison in the isthmus and to cross over to Pallene and raise works there; they were afraid that the Potidaeans and their allies might take advantage of their division to attack them. Meanwhile the Athenians at home learning that there were no works at Pallene, some time afterwards sent off sixteen hundred heavy infantry of their own citizens under the command of Phormio, son of Asopius. Arrived at Pallene, he fixed his headquarters at Aphytis, and led his army against Potidaea by short marches, ravaging the country as he advanced. No one venturing to meet him in the field, he raised works against the wallon the side of Pallene. So at length Potidaea was strongly invested on either side, and from the sea by the ships co-operating in the blockade. Aristeus, seeing its investment complete, and having no hope of its salvation, except in the event of some movement from the Peloponnese, or of some other improbable contingency, advised all except five hundred to watch for a wind and sail out of the place, in order that their provisions might last the longer. He was willing to be himself one of those who remained. Unable to persuade them, and desirous of acting on the next alternative, and of having things outside in the best posture possible, he eluded the guardships of the Athenians and sailed out. Remaining among the Chalcidians, he continued to carry on the war; in particular he laid an ambuscade near

renunciation invalid, and was proclaimed King by the Romanian Parliament on June 8th. Mihai was ‘demoted’ to Crown Prince. However, unhappy with King Carol II’s actions and policies, on September 6, 1940 another coup d’état took place, this time under Prime Minister Ion Antonescu, and Carol was forced to formally abdicate. Mihai was once again King of Romania. On December 30, 1947, he was summoned to Bucharest to find his palace surrounded by troops loyal the Communist regime. With threats of bloodshed, and according to the King’s own account, a gun to his head, he was forced to sign a document of abdication. Four days later, he was forced to leave the country. In March of 1948, he publicly announced that his abdication was invalid, as it had beenforced upon him, and that he remained the rightful King of Romania. Meanwhile, plans were still underway for Mihai’s wedding to Anne. The couple had reunited in Switzerland and were facing one of the biggest obstacles in their upcoming life together – religion. Anne was Roman Catholic while Mihai was Orthodox. A dispensation was sought from the Pope, who insisted that Mihai promise any children would be raised Catholic. The King would not, and could not, make this promise as it would violate the Romanian constitution, and the Pope refused to sanction the marriage. But the couple, with the support of most of their families, vowed to marry anyway. Years later, in 1966, they had a second wedding in a Roman Catholic church in Monaco. On June 10, 1948, Mihai

Firefighters spent hours on the scene of an overnight fire that ripped through CTV Ottawa's newsroom and caused more than $2.5 million in damage. Flames began on the second floor of the Merivale Road building sometime before 4:30 Sunday morning. It took 70 firefighters and 18 fire trucks more than two hours to bring the blaze under control. "Crews did an excellent job holding it," said District Fire Chief Jim Corrigan. "We managed to contain the fire to the second-storey of the building. However, smoke migration made it to the fifth floor." Corrigan says $2.5 million is a preliminary estimate. Damage could be much higher due to the building's expensive content. An overnight security guard was working when the blaze broke out. He suffered no injuries and no other injuries have been reported. Theheaded out." Keyes says when he arrived at the scene dozens of firefighters were there and paramedics were standing by. Broken windows revealed the newsroom was charred. "Damages looked bad but the building is still standing. Thank God." A stretch of Merivale Road in front of the building was closed for seven hours. The newsroom hosts several workstations for reporters, producers, editorial staff and video editors. It means several computers, televisions, phones and personal belongings would have been destroyed in the fire. Among the devastating property losses are the local news archives of this city's history and the 37-year video history of anchor Max Keeping who is set to retire on April 1.

Howard Creekmore, president of the Houston Endowment, took John Jones' place at the Chronicle. Everett D. Collier replaced Steven as editor. Collier remained in this position until his retirement in 1979. In 1968, the Chronicle set a Texas newspaper circulation record. In 1981, the business pages — which up until then had been combined with sports — became its own section of the newspaper. 1987: Hearst On May 1, 1987, the Hearst Corporation purchased the Houston Chronicle from Houston Endowment for $415 Million. Richard J. V. Johnson, who had joined the paper as a copy editor in 1956, and worked up to executive vice president in 1972, and president in 1973, remained as chairman and publisher until he retired April1, 2002.[6] He was succeeded by Jack Sweeney. In 1994, the Chronicle switched to being a morning-only paper. With the demise of the Houston Post the following year, the Chronicle became Houston's sole major daily newspaper. The paper employs nearly 2,000 people, including approximately 300 journalists. In addition, the Chronicle contracts with multiple distributors who circulate and deliver copies of the newspaper. A longtime Chronicle officer was John Hulen Murphy, I, the assistant to Richard Johnson, former executive vice president of the Texas Daily Newspaper Association, and a newspaperman, mostly in Houston, for seventy-four years. 2002: Holocaust Museum Houston awarded the Chronicle its "Guardian of the Human spirit" award.

She was a byword in Falmouth; yet, strange to say, her victims kept a sneaking fondness for her, a soft spot In their hearts; while as sporting onlookers we boys took something like a fearful pride in the Warrior, as we called her. It was not in her nature to encourage any such weakness, or to use it. She would not have thanked us for it.

A president of a nation at war, Barrack Obama, after getting the prize immediately intensified the war efforts rather than end either the Iraq or the Afghanistan war. Guatemalan Rigoberta Menchú got her peace prize in 1992 and has later been criticized for falsifying her autobiography. Three of histories most notorious dictators in the 20th century, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin and Benito Mussolini have been nominated for the peace prize. Harry Truman, the US president authorising the atomic bombs over Japan was also nominated for the peace prize as also Winston Churchill. India’s Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize thoughhe was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and 1948, the year he died. The reason he was never given the prize was probably that till then the prize had been given primarily to Europeans and Americans and Gandhi represented a new kind of figure. This change of paradigm was beyond the narrow horizon of the Nobel selection committee then. They did try to make amends for this omission when they awarded the prize to the Dalai Lama and mentioned Gandhi. Henry Kissinger (1973) definitely didn’t become an angel of Peace but rather continued being an angel of death with very dirty hands.

to the Republican American, "federal investigators determined that DeLuca and Galante (right) had a close and confidential relationship." A heavily redacted FBI report implied a greater connection between the two men than that described by DeLuca. When DeLuca reached out for help from Galante, the legislator did not realize that federal agents were nearing the end of an investigation of the trash hauler. The April 2005 meeting between the two men came to the attention of investigators. An undercover agent posing as a Galante associate was sent to meet with DeLuca on Sept. 5 and 6, 2006, three months after Galante had been indicted. During the meetings, DeLuca reportedly pledged political assistance to Galante but rejected a $5,000 bribe offer. DeLuca has stated that his promise of assistance was merelymen feuded for some time.

For example, after the handover of Goražde on 29 November, several hundred civilians were massacred, and after the Italians turned Foča over to the Chetniks, around 500 Muslims were killed. These massacres were not simply revenge for prior Ustaše killings of Serbs, as eastern Bosnia was relatively untouched by such massacres prior to the spring of 1942. According to Hoare, they "were above all an expression of the genocidal policy and ideology of the Chetnik movement".

that is fair and just to the victims in this case.5 39 After hearing a victim impact statement from Mrs. Rawlins, who asked that Devin "bear the full penalty of the law," Judge Moore concluded that, in light of his knowledge of the case, what he had heard at the change-of-plea hearing, and the terms of the plea agreement, he had no alternative but to sentence both of the Hodge brothers to life in prison. The District Court entered its judgment, noting Devin's guilty plea and his life sentence, on March 6, 2002.

When osteoclasts displaced OB cells that were part of a monolayer, extension of an osteoclast lamellipodium underneath the edge of the OB cell layer generally preceded partial retraction of the OB cells involved. It sometimes appeared as if the detached or partially detached OB cells were "pushed" by the osteoclast, which in some cases resulted in OB cells being moved hundreds of microns in a period of a few hours, at rates comparable to the normal

Telepathic observation informed us that, when the second cruiser had left us, considerable amnesia and other mental derangements had occurred among those of the crew who had landed on the island. The Commander's report was incoherent and incredible. Like the first Commander, he was disgraced. The Foreign Offices of the world, through their secret services, ferreted out as much as possible of this latest incident. They did not form anything like an accurate idea of events, but they procured shreds of truth embroidered with fantastic exaggeration. There was a general feeling that something more was at stake than a diplomatic coup, and the discomfiture of the British Government. Something weird, something quite beyond reckoning was going on on that remote island. Three ships had been sent away with their crews in mental confusion. The islanders, besides being physically eccentric and morallyperverse, seemed to have powers which in an earlier age would have been called diabolic. In a vague subconscious way Homo sapiens began to realize that his supremacy was challenged. The Commander of the second cruiser had informed his Government that the islanders were of many nationalities. The Government, feeling itself to be in an extremely delicate position in which a false step might expose it as guilty of murdering children, yet feeling that the situation must be dealt with firmly and speedily before the Communists could make capital out of it, decided to ask other Powers to co-operate and share responsibility. Meanwhile the Soviet vessel had left Vladivostok and was already in the South Seas. Late one afternoon we sighted her, a small trading-vessel of unobtrusive appearance.

Of course Isaac never tried it. From what she understood, it was something that a man did for a woman, to pleasure her rather than himself; therefore, Isaac would never do such a thing. But Danny... Danny would most definitely do it... Danny *was* doing it. She felt warm hands urging her thighs apart and pushing her knees upward. She looked down in wide-eyed wonder as Danny lowered himself between her legs, his dark head bending down to kiss a trail and work his way from her inner thighs, up toher groin, and across the curly thatch of hair that concealed her most sacred body parts. Delicate fingers and a warm, wet tongue touched her, and her head fell backwards as a guttural cry erupted from her throat. Danny groaned his approval and he proceeded to first explore and then devour the bounty spread before him. Emma’s hips moved on their own accord, her eyes glazed over in lust and her mind lost in an erotic haze as Danny feasted on her over and over. Suddenly, without warning, Danny stopped and climbed back up to bring his face close to hers, "Emma," his eyes penetrated hers, wild and desperate. "Emma, I want to–" She cut him off, bringing her hands up to cup his face, "Anything, Danny! Anything!" She answered

in the great opera houses of the world. Born of a musical family in New Orleans, Miss Verrett moved to California at the age of five, but had no formal voice training during her childhood, largely because her father felt singing would involve his daughter in too precarious a career. Still, he offered his daughter the opportunity to sing in church choirs under his direction, and provided her with an ample education at Ventura College, where she majored in business administration. By 1954, she was a prosperous real-estate agent, but her longing for an artistic career had become so acute that she decided to take voice lessons in Los Angeles and train her sights on the concert stage after all. After winning a television talent show in 1955, she enrolled at the Juilliard School on a scholarship, taking her diploma in voice some six years later.Her debut at Town Hall in 1958 was not a sensational one, earning plaudits for her "sensitive, imaginative...comprehension," even as it inspired the conclusion that she was perhaps only an "earnest, conscientious" singer who was well coached and adequately prepared. At Spoleto, Italy in 1962, she deliverd an excellent Carmen and was praised for a "warm vibrant voice and earthy womanliness." A year later, she performed at Lincoln Center in New York, where her recital was said to be "simply without flaws, simply a great event in the annals of American music-making." By 1964, her Carmen had improved so dramatically that the New York Herald Tribune critic was able to claim it was "the finest" performance "seen or heard in New York" for the past generation.

An answering grin appeared on Hakkai's face, a smile only for Gojyo to see, "I will." Gojyo lifted his head and claimed another kiss. Hakkai immediately responded, sliding his tongue along Gojyo's, savoring the wet taste of his friend. He rocked his body against the taller man, rubbing his clothed erection against Gojyo's, loving the heated friction. Gojyo reached down and cupped his hands over Hakkai's ass, rocking and rubbing the two of them together. His hips jerked up and Hakkai gasped. Gojyo caught a look at their shirts, dropped randomly on the floor. The thought of the normally neat man stripping him and tossing his clothes all over theroom was a kinky thrill, and Gojyo moaned at the charge that went through him from Hakkai's abandon. Hakkai pressed a hand on Gojyo's chest as he leaned down to cover his toned abdomen with open-mouthed kisses, his teeth scraping skin and sucking here and there. Gojyo sucked in a gasp of breath, his hips jerking up in surprise as a throb pulsed through his cock. But Hakkai didn't stop with that. Working his way up, Hakkai followed a line up to Gojyo's sternum, between his ribs, and to the soft skin between his collarbones, again crawling up his body until he was sitting astride him.

Even when the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to Mr. Westbrook, there is no evidence that he was physically unable to leave the restaurant, or that he was immobilized by his fear.

With these meager clues he built several edifices of speculation, not one of which could be singled out in preference to the others. His friends were notorious practical jokers, and he had done his share at it.

Following the coronation of Stephen V in 1270, leaders of Béla IV's party fled to abroad from the potential retaliations, however they returned to Hungary, when the crown passed to the minor Ladislaus IV in August 1272.

Yugoslav republics with a population of around 7.5 million. According to Bubnjević, there were almost no physicists in Serbia immediately after World War II. He credits Yugoslav policy for building up significant research capacity. Nuclear physics was the first priority. Then, starting in the early 1960s, investment in physics broadened. In 1961 the Institute of Physics was established in Belgrade and explored other fields of physics, such as atomic, condensed matter, complex systems, photonics, and ionized gases. Those areas remain the institute’s focus of research. In 1996 armed clashes broke out in Kosovo between Serbian authorities, who wanted the territory to remain part of Serbia, and the Kosovo Liberation Army, which wanted independence. The conflict that ensued, the Kosovo War, lasted from February 1998 to June 1999. Serbia,already weakened by earlier wars, saw the development of physics halted by economic sanctions and NATO airstrikes. A large number of researchers emigrated to the West, though some of them continued to help the young scientists left behind. Conditions have since improved. In the past 10 years, about 40 researchers have returned to the Institute of Physics. Although Serbia is not an EU member, its scientists are eligible for some EU grants, which have attracted returnees. Milan Ćirković of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade is encouraged: “In the last five years, the observatory has employed six researchers with PhDs obtained from US and European universities, which is a huge relative improvement given that the total number of researchers in astronomy and astrophysics in Serbia is about 50.” The

It is, however, very unlikely, due to the fact that Law and Justice has only 236 MPs (a 3/5 majority would require 276 MPs) and virtually the whole opposition stood against the acts. The President announcedthat he would present his own amended acts on the Supreme Court and the National Judiciary Council in the coming two months. The third controversial act, inter alia giving the Minister of Justice the right to replace the chairmen of local courts, will enter into force. This decision saw continued mass protests across the country, however with a clearly lower number of participants. Both the President and the Prime Minister, addressed speeches to the nation. In the words of Prime Minister Beata Szydło “The president's veto has slowed down the work on the reform of the judicial system. [..] What's more, it has been treated as an incentive by those fighting to uphold the unfair system". She stressed that many Polish people had been wronged by the judicial system, and

the age of 12, left Ottawa in their 42-foot steel sailboat named Northern Magic and headed down the St. Lawrence River. When they left, the sum of their sailing experience consisted of a handful of summer afternoons on the Ottawa River. "Finally, we all wanted to leave, just to get it over with. So when every contingency had been thought of, prepared for and fretted over, when we were as ready as we ever would be, we set off. All we could do now was pray." Over the next four years, they would visit 34 countries and travel 35,000 nautical miles. When they returned home, in the summer of 2001, 3,000 people were there to welcome them. Throughout the trip, Ms. STUEMER wrote 218 weekly dispatches for The Ottawa Citizen, chronicling every aspect of their journey from their lost cat to seasickness totravelling through pirate waters along the coast of Somalia. "It's been a long time since the cold grip of fear has clenched me in my gut, and I was not the only one on board to shiver beneath the touch of its icy fingers, Ms. STUEMER wrote, before heading into waters where there had been at least seven attacks on private yachts in the past 12 months, two of which involved gunfire. Ms. STUEMER subsequently published a book about their adventures called The Voyage of the Northern Magic. Before setting sail on their epic journey, Ms. STUEMER and her husband fantasized about travelling the world, but like a lot of people they considered putting it off until their retirement.

constituted about 30 percent of voters in Michigan’s Republican primary, comprised more than 50 percent in 2000, and overwhelmingly backed McCain. There are differences between McCain in 2000 and Paul in 2012, of course. McCain was considered a strong general-election candidate, which made him harder for the GOP establishment to stop—though of course stop him it ultimately did. Paul, by contrast, is widely considered a Republican George McGovern: an inexperienced ideologue whom Clinton would crush. But on the other hand, Paul has more fervent support in segments of the GOP base, and in the age of the Tea Party, Republican elites are weaker now than they were a decade and a half ago. A few years ago, pundits began speculating about a liberal-libertarian alliance against the imperialistic, morally coercive right.David Levy - William Goldfarb Lecture on Psychoanalysis and Child Development On Interpretation and Holding: A Case Illustration by Anne-Marie Sandler Sandor Rado and David Levy - William Goldfarb Lecturer of 2000 Anne-Marie Sandler Anne-Marie Sandler is an analyst in private practice and a training analyst in adult, adolescent and child analysis at the British Psychoanalytical Society;a former President of the British Psychoanalytical Society and of the European Psychoanalytic Federation, as well as Vice-President of the International Psychoanalytical Association.

North Korea warned Sunday that the upcoming U.S.-South Korea military exercises that are expected to start on Monday is "pouring gasoline on fire" and considered "reckless behavior driving the situation into the uncontrollable phase of a nuclear war." According to CNN, Pyongyang also declared that its army can target the United States anytime, and neither Guam, Hawaii nor the U.S. can "dodge the merciless strike." CNN reports the warning was in the official government newspaper, Rodong Sinmun. Combative rhetoric between the nations spiked after Pyongyang tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) last month that appeared to bring much of the US within range, sparking an intense warning by President Donald Trump that Washington could rain "fire and fury" on the North. Pyongyang then threatened to fire a salvo of missiles towards theit added: "If the United States is lost in a fantasy that war on the peninsula is at somebody else's doorstep far away from them across the Pacific, it is far more mistaken than ever." Seoul and Washington have said the largely computer-simulated UFG exercise, which dates back to 1976, will go ahead as planned, but did not comment on whether the drills would be scaled back in an effort to ease tensions. Around 17,500 US troops will participate in this year's drills -- a cutback from last year -- according to numbers provided by Seoul's defence ministry. But South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported the allies were mulling scrapping an initial plan to bring in two aircraft carriers to the peninsula to take part in the drill.

by Mossad-linked companies, now "secures" the most sensitive computers in the U.S. government and commercial sector. The Mossad-spawned computer security firms typically have a main office based in the U.S. while their research and development is done in Israel. The Mossad start-up firms usually have short lives before they are acquired for exaggerated sums of money by a larger company, enriching their Israeli owners in the process and integrating the Israeli directors and their Mossad-produced software into the parent company. RSA, for example, an older security software company, acquired an Israeli-run security software company, named Cyota, at the end of 2005 for $145 million. In January 2005, Cyota, "the leading provider of online security and anti-fraud solutions for financial institutions" had announced that "security expert" Amit Yoran, had joined the company's board of directors. Prior to becoming a director at Cyota, Yoran, a 34-year old Israeli, had already been the national "Cyber Czar," having served as director of the Department ofHomeland Security's National Cyber Security Division. Yoran had been appointed "Cyber Czar" at age 32 by President George W. Bush in September 2003. Before joining DHS, Yoran had been vice president for worldwide managed security services at Symantec. Prior to that, he had been the founder, president and CEO of Riptech, Inc., an information security management and monitoring firm, which Symantec acquired in 2002 for $145 million. Yoran and his brother Naftali Elad Yoran are graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at Westpoint. Elad graduated in 1991 and Amit in 1993. Along with their brother Dov, the Yoran brothers are key players in the security software market. Amit has also held critical positions in the U.S. government overseeing computer security for the very systems that apparently failed on 9/11. Before founding Riptech in 1998, Yoran directed the vulnerability-assessment program within the computer emergency response team at the US Department of Defense.

who speak Macedonian by making fun of them when they say in Macedonian "We are Greeks" (Nie sne Grci) or "We Greeks are clever" (Nie Grci sne eksipni).[19] From a Macedonian and even a Greek nationalist perspective such people may seem incongruous, their nationality suspect. From an anthropological perspective in which identity is a matter of self ascription, however, the claims to Greek national identity of people who were born in Greece but speak Macedonian and not Greek are just as legitimate as the claims to Macedonian national identity of people who earlier in their lives identified themselves as Greeks. The contrast between a person's "genuine" national identity, which is biologically given at birth, and a person's "artificial" national identity, which is acquired somehow later in life is conveyed by a humorous, if somewhat bitter, comment overheard by a Macedonian from Melbournewhile visiting the village near Florina where he was born. A woman from southern Greece who had married a Slavic-speaking local Macedonian from the village told some men who had gathered in the village cafe that they were not "real Greeks." An old man, a local Macedonian, replied "That's right. You are a Greek with hormones. We are Greeks by injection."[20] While the idea that national identity is a natural, biological given is a basic tenet of both Greek and Macedonian nationalist ideologies, in arguments among people from Florina over whether they are really Greeks or Macedonians, this position is most often taken by people who identify themselves as Macedonians. People who identify themselves as Greeks, on the other hand, are much more likely to argue that national identity is determined by what Schneider has called "a code for

the Viburnum opulus are an important component of Russian folk culture which occur in many Russian folk songs, while Kalinka is the most famous of them. Also, Easter eggs in Russia are often colored in red and the color plays a big role in the Russian Orthodox Church, like for example on the Russian icons. In Russia the word color, to paint or to dye means krásitʹ (Russian: кра́сить) which is also connected to red (Krasny, Krasna, Russian: Красны, кра́сна). === Wedding dresses === In many Asian countries, red is the traditional color for a wedding dress today, symbolizing joy and good fortune. In India, brides traditionally wear a red sari, called the sari of blood, offered by their father, signifying that his duties as a father are transferred to the new husband, and as a symbol of his wish for her to have children. Once married, the bride willwear a sari with a red border, changing it to a white sari if her husband dies. In Pakistan and India, some brides traditionally also have their hands and feet painted red with henna by the family of their new spouse, to bring happiness and signify their new status. == In religion == In Christianity, red is associated with the blood of Christ and the sacrifice of martyrs. In the Roman Catholic Church it is also associated with pentecost and the Holy Spirit. Since 1295, it is the color worn by Cardinals, the senior clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. Red is the liturgical color for the feasts of martyrs, representing the blood of those who suffered death for their faith. It is sometimes used as the liturgical color for Holy Week, including Palm Sunday and Good Friday, although this is a modern (20th-century) development. In Catholic practice, it

it may well have served as a chisel. Second, the Tampa Bay area, along with most Florida, is not the natural present-day habitat of the beaver (Hall 1959: 549). According to Olsen (1964), it is also absent from archeologi- cal sites in the state. However, Neill (1956: 391) describes unworked beaver remains from several preceramic and early ceramic sites in east central Florida, including a midden in Vol- usia County which is possibly assignable to the St. Johns II period. This indicates that the bea- ver once inhabited at least a portion of the state. Therefore, the worked incisor indicates either the presence of this animal in the Tampa Bay area at one time, or contact with people of re- gions which were inhabited by beavers. Of the two possibilities, the latter seems the more likely. The only other bone artifacts consist of two specimens of what areas did most of those at the Tierra Verde site in Pinellas County (Sears 1967: 58). However, those at Tierra Verde were imported for ceremonial use and not for utilitarian pur- poses as they were at Palm River. A heavy dependance on hunting, fishing and gathering to supplement an agricultural diet is indicated by the great number and variety of vertebrate and molluscan remains in the midden. The variety also indicates that the inhabitants consumed almost every available form of animal life. In this respect the lack of mammal remains, excluding the white-tail deer, is interesting. It may imply that other mammals were not readily available, or that the bone sample was not large enough to show more diversity. Marie Laski and Stephanie Pierog deserve special thanks for permitting the excavation of the site situated on their property. Thanks are also extended to Nancy Hubble, Janet Adams, Mike

a result, a stronger force is further applied to the rack end and housing end which have been already brought into contact with each other. In addition, when an absolute value of a rotational speed ω of the motor is smaller than a set value |ω1|, or when the rack end is brought into contact at a high rotational speed ω of the motor, the rotation of the electric motor may undergo overshoot due to the kinetic energy by the inertia moment of the electric motor, and thus components, such as rack gear, may still suffer a large impact or overload. Accordingly, even when the steering wheel is further turned away from the home position under a situation where the rack end and the housing end are alreadywas an asteroid deflector left on the planet, with the medicine man of the colony instructed on its use.

In Wednesday's statement, the National Accountability Bureau says Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani was arrested in the capital, Islamabad, on charges of "possessing assets beyond his known sources." The anti-graft body has arrested several politicians and businessmen on corruption charges since Prime Minister Imran Khan took office last year following the removal of Nawaz Sharif by the country's top court over corruption allegations. Durrani is a member of the Pakistan People's Party. Its leader, former President Zardari, faces a multimillion-dollar money laundering case opened last year, and is currently out on bail.

Note that in some cases letters in the inscriptions appear as mirror images of other instances of the same letter; this could have been caused by the scribe becoming confused with the need to write in reverse when creating the mould in order that the writing would be cast in the correct orientation. Tablet 1 and Book 4 show clear evidence that they were made by hammering a lead sheet onto a mould, which was created with a positive pattern (made from previously cast items).

These in particular immediately raised David's suspicions, because copper is known to be very easy to render "antique", as verdigris will appear on it after only a short time if buried or left exposed to particular climates and conditions – in short, they would be especially easy to forge.

S19 Inspiring Signs Protesting the Immigration Ban from Across the U.S. On Friday, January 27, President Donald Trump issued an executive order blocking Muslims from several countries from entering the United States, in addition to suspending the US’s refugee resettlement program. The backlash was swift—his fellow Americans were outraged. But rather than vent their frustrations exclusively on social media, hoards of demonstrators spontaneously assembled at their local airports as news spread that travelers—including refugees from Syria—were being detained upon arrival. From New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, those horrified by the ban made their voices heard. Similar to the recent Women’s March, protesters amplified their sentiments by holding immigration ban protest signs. With messages scrawled on cardboard, people held signs that implored compassion.

An ice bridge linking two Islands in Antarctica has snapped according to scientists. They say this is evidence of rapid change in the region, and that it could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf is breaking away. The ice bridge was an important barrier which held the Wilkins Ice Shelf in place. Without the bridge, Charcot and Latady islands are free to move into the open ocean. European Space Agency satellite pictures revealed cracks in the bridge last week. This video shows when the Wilkins Shelf first came under threat of breaking due to the break of the icebridge connecting the Wilkins Shelf to Latady and Charcot Recently formed icebergs were shown floating into the western side of the peninsula and out to sea.
