pardoning a few hundred nonviolent drug offenders. The future ex-president is still playing games with Vladimir Putin over Russian’s alleged interference in the presidential election and playing with fire in the Middle East. He and his hacks at the State Department have been caught orchestrating a United Nations resolution condemning Israel’s plans to build new settlements in East Jerusalem. Not vetoing the anti-Israel vote in the UN was a public bitch-slapping of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a petty American president. Netanyahu is lucky. He won’t have to wait long for his pal Donald to kiss and make up with him and begin treating his country like the valued friend it is. But President Trump and the rest of us will be dealing with all the messes “Third Term” Obama has made forif not the biggest news provider on YouTube worldwide," he told the MIPCOM 2011 conference.The blackout sparked frenzy among RT viewers around the world attempting to access the channel and provoked speculation it had been intentionally taken down.Viewers speculated that everything from censorship to a hacker attack could have been behind the incident. Some of them said this is “ACTA in action”, while others focused on the timing, which coincided with an NYPD crackdown on an OWS protest in New York which was being covered by the channel.

Police have confirmed they are investigating 10 reports of needles being found in punnets of strawberries including one involving a Perth primary school student who reported a case on Tuesday afternoon. Police said the boy was at his primary school in Willetton when he took a bite out of a strawberry and found a needle. It is understood the boy reported the needle to his teachers. The latest case is one in five WA reports police are investigating of needles found in strawberries, including in punnets bought from York, Kelmscott, Spearwood and Bull Creek.Anti-federal Communists call Nepal closure Kathmandu, Sep 28 (IANS) A minor Communist party opposed to the decision of parliament to declare Nepal a federal nation called a closure Sunday in the Himalayan republic, beginning a protest that could cause the country to miss its date with a new constitution.The Rastriya Jana Morcha, a breakaway faction of the Jana Morcha Nepal party that is a minor member of the six-party ruling alliance, was largely successful in affecting transport, businesses and education in many parts of the country, including capital city Kathmandu. Protesters from the party as well as its student wing clashed with security forces in several areas in the capital, resulting in the arrest of over 50. The demonstrators torched a bus and a taxi in Kathmandu and vandalised over

hour, when Rejean's soon-to-be wife Brenda Harder saw the note posted on the front door of their Fort Rouge apartment block. The note had been left by a neighbour who, about an hour earlier, had seen two thieves make off with four bikes that had been locked under an apartment fire escape. The witness, who could be the poster boy for Neighbourhood Watch, contacted police and took photographs of the thieves pulling off one of the most common and frustrating Winnipeg crimes. Not only that, but he made like a cop and trailed them in his vehicle and watched as they hauled the bikes to a walk-up apartment on Corydon. Minus one of the bikes, which he found stashed in the bush and returned to the owner. But that's only part ofwhere their bikes had last been seen. As luck would have it, the apartment caretaker was working outside. Rejean told the caretaker why they were there and showed him the photos their neighbour had taken of the theft. The caretaker recognized the people in the photographs right away. Rejean said the caretaker told them there was what amounts to a bicycle chop shop being run out of the one of the apartments in the block he looks after, and he had reported it to police more than once. But they didn't respond. Rejean asked the caretaker if police had stopped by that weekend to investigate their complaint. "He said they never came by." Then the caretaker invited them into the block to see what he would have shown police if they had contacted him. It was a

basement storage locker packed with bikes and bike parts. The caretaker asked Rejean if he wanted to see if their bikes were there. Rejean said yes. Brenda said no. "She was too scared to go up." Rejean was nervous, too. He didn't know if they had a gun or a knife, or what would happen. But since the caretaker was with him, Rejean climbed the stairs. There, propped up in the hall, Rejean spotted what he recognized right away as Brenda's bike. The caretaker knocked on the door. And when a young man opened the door, there were more bike parts and more bikes, but nothing that resembled his. The young man in the apartment said he had paid $50 for it, so it was his. By that time, hearing the dispute in progress, Brenda had joined them. The guy– PT Sianyu Perkasa Sianyu Perkasa was established in 1992, as a distribution and retail company.

series of the past decade was the remake of Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009). Four seasons of the main series, plus the initial 2003 mini-series and the two TV movies Razor and The Plan, provided a rivetting storyline, which actually managed to wrap up everything neatly by the end. It’s a great pity that the two very interesting BSG prequel series, Caprica and Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome barely made it out of the starting blocks, as they both had a lot of potential. Star Trek: Enterprise was one that I wasn’t fussed on first time around, but I got to like it when I watched it a few years later on DVD. Sadly it was cancelled after four seasons, the first Trek series since the original 1960s show to becanned prematurely. Stargate SG1, another one that I didn’t get into until a few years afterwards, lasted an incredible ten seasons, ending in 2002, and spawning a couple of spin-off series that I liked quite a lot. I quite liked Stargate Atlantis, which was sadly cancelled after only five years to make way for its much more serious and BSG-influenced follow-up series, Stargate Universe, which ironically and sadly was also canned, after only two seasons. This one never managed to pick up the big audiences of its predecessors, who were most likely put off by the bleak grimness of the series. Both these series had interesting characters and scripts, and deserved to last longer (particularly Stargate Universe). The fun Warehouse 13 and its sister series Eureka both made it to

He has been featured in Forbes , Investor's BusinessOpinion & Comment HaRav Shach's Battle Against False Messianism by Rabbi Shlomo Lorincz When the Lubavitch movement began its messianic propaganda, Maran girded himself to fight this group and the one who headed it. During this period, when Maran first came out with his opposition in public, the messianic message was still somewhat covert with innocent sounding mottos and slogans. The public was not yet aware what lay behind them. At that time only one blessed with a sharp eye could discern this blind belief in a messianic Rebbe which was swelling and taking on a more real proportion under the guise of chassidus. Maran, with his wise vision, understood what would eventually happen and to what dimensions this movement would reach if he did not take steps to

Tehillim when the Rebbe became sick. At the time I asked him for an explanation, and he obliged, "My battle is against his erroneous approach, against the movement, but not against the people in any personal way. I pray for the Rebbe's recovery and simultaneously, also pray that he abandon his invalid way." (With regard to this, Maran quoted the words of Tosafos in Pesochim 113b, that even when we are talking about a situation when it is a mitzvah to hate, one should give preference to loading the donkey of an enemy before unloading the burden of a friend's donkey, just in order to temper one's evil inclination.) Constructing the World of Torah In the wake of the battle against the Lubavitch movement, Maran came to theThis debt weighted upon him like a heavy lodestone. Maran expressed his anxiety over it many times and said that he hoped not to leave this world before having paid up that debt. It pressed on him heavily until he was finally able, not without great effort, to make good on the loan. When Agudath Israel refused to declare war against Chabad's messianic campaign, despite all of his pleading and attempts to convince them of the need thereof, he drew the inevitable conclusion and, in 5749, established the organization which represents the yeshiva world, Degel HaTorah. In 5746 Rav Yaakov Landau, the chief rabbi of Bnei Brak, passed away and his son, a Chabadnik, was instated in his place. Maran disapproved of this appointment and established an independent

leader designated for the task by Heaven, and privy to special Divine assistance, is capable of such leadership, which defies nature and human resources. Maran kept all the fliers and posters containing the vilification and the propaganda campaign against him in a special place and requested that they be buried together with him, saying that when he was summoned before the Heavenly court, he would declare: "Ribono shel Olom: I did everything I was supposed to do to the point of vile deprecation and condemnation. Here are the posters they plastered against me . . . " Love Ye Truth and Peace In the final stage of his life, Maran endured unimaginable pain and a tortured soul, suffering when certain circles dared blame him for imagined opposition tobear rancor against any person, and would forgive all those who insulted him. However, he often clarified his stand, both in speech and in writing, that the slander spread against him about his persecution of chassidim was something he could never forgive, for it had transformed him into a baal machlokes, a hate-monger, at a time when he loved peace and pursued it to the nth degree. After the election campaign of 5748, in which Degel HaTorah and Agudath Israel ran on separate lists for the first and only time, Maran imposed upon me the task of effecting a consolidation of ranks to insure that such a dichotomy never occur again between the two chareidi parties, either in national or in local elections. According to his directives, I

and disagreement, in dinei Torah between two factions. He had to rule in favor of one side and against the other, so that it was inevitable that people would be hurt or might accuse him of favoritism, prejudice and fomenting dissension. It is impossible to justify everyone. The fact that not all of Israel mourned his passing shows that he was truly impartial and ruled according to the dictates of pure justice." Applicable and fitting are these words to the very one who uttered them. By innate nature, Maran was basically a peace lover, yet he was not deterred from overriding this trait if he felt it necessary as a leader to denounce one public or another when they conducted themselves contrary to the way of the Torah.World Trade Center on Sept 11, 2001.

House Democrats plan to vote on a resolution, perhaps Wednesday, condemning anti-Semitism, the Washington Postreports.

It was a key talking point in late 2017, as reports made it clear that the Trump administration would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and, after years of promises from past presidents, would move its embassy there. Debating the move's wisdom was fair game, including whether that decision should wait for negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. But that's not what pro-Palestinian voices argued. Instead, they cast Washington as somehow beholden to, or controlled by the Israeli government. "We expect that President Trump puts Americans first, form his policy decisions based upon our interests and not the interests of a government of a foreign country – in this case the government of Israel," said Osama Abuirshaid, a leader of the group American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), which hasties to an old Hamas-support network in the United States and which supports an economic, political and academic boycott of Israel. "He always bragged about putting America first. Now he's putting Israel first." Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director Nihad Awad, a member of that old Hamas-support network, offered a similar argument that the policy was not driven by the longstanding U.S.-Israel alliance, but because of "the interests of Israel and its foreign lobbyists – mainly the pro-Israel lobby – this administration will put the interests of Israel and its lobby here in the United States above the interests of the United States." Omar and her supporters continue to insist that they are being unfairly maligned because that's what happens to people who speak out against Israel. But blaming

petrol would be extremely long. We arrived in Sirte in time for an early evening rally in support of Col Gaddafi. Several thousand people gathered in the centre of the city. Many wore green baseball caps or waved green flags (green is the colour of those who support the colonel). One young boy sat on the curb and diligently coloured his right forearm with a green felt-tip pen."Write the truth now," one man told us. "Hundreds of thousands of people," he said, pointing towards the crowd. Many demonstrators carried pictures of Col Gaddafi.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to set tougher new limits on smokestack emissions from nearly two dozen states that burden downwind areas with air pollution from power plants they can't control. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File) The Environmental Protection Agency proposed tougher new limits on Tuesday on smokestack emissions from nearly two dozen states that burden downwind areas with air pollution from power plants they can't control. At the same time, the EPA moved to remove two states—South Carolina and Florida—from the "good neighbor" rules, saying they don't contribute significant amounts of smog to other states. The EPA proposal came as Republicans in Congress moved to block President Barack Obama's plan to force steep cuts in greenhouse

power plants." Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Republicans were continuing to "waste time waging partisan campaigns on behalf of greedy special interest groups," including billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who are major donors to Republican political candidates. Koch Industries is one of the largest private companies in America and is involved in oil refining, chemicals, pipelines and other businesses. Reid called efforts to address climate change a global obligation and said, "Republicans should get in touch with reality, stop fighting the Koch brothers' losing battle to allow unlimited pollution and do what's right for our country."

In the report, Defendant’s base offense level was calculated with reference to cocaine powder, not cocaine base. In accordance with the presentence report, the district court sentenced Defendant for possession of the following: 24 ounces of marijuana, 1 pound of marijuana, 4 grams of heroin, and 4 grams of powder cocaine. Under the conversion tables in section 2D1.1 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, these amounts convert into equivalent amounts of marijuana as follows: 24 ounces marijuana = 680.4 grams marijuana A Desert Oasis in China Photograph via UrinalCakes on Reddit Located approximately 6 km (3.73 miles) from the outskirts of the city of Dunhuang in Western China, lies Crescent Lake, an incredible oasis in the Gobi desert.

The National Sheriffs' Association has created (and seeks your assistance in expanding) this Web-based Resource Center. Anywhere in the United States, law enforcement executives and small town government officials can access this database, which is an information repository of tools and how-to materials on intergovernmental contract law enforcement services, as well as academic and practitioner analyses on the advantages and challenges for Sheriff's Offices and municipalities in these contracts. In addition, the Center has a directory of consultants who can offer policy– such as rapid business and population growth due to urban overcrowding and exodus – can suddenly bring the traditional urban problems of youth gangs, gun-related violence, and rampant drug use to small town communities. Thus, all across America, government officials in small incorporated towns are being forced to reassess the ability of their traditional, in-house police departments to adequately protect the local citizenry within the framework of their department's financial limitations and structural constraints. Due to the increasing complexity of law enforcement and the continuously rising costs of personnel, equipment, vehicles, training, buildings, insurance, etc., these local government officials are looking to intergovernmental contract law enforcement services for the police protection they otherwise would be unable to provide in their small towns. Contract law enforcement offers small municipalities a

cover the cost of providing the services. Five years later, there was still the need – as there still is across the country today – for a more systematic approach to contract law enforcement service agreements, as noted in a 2000 report by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board: More research is needed on the extent of alternate policing strategies in small communities....More information is also needed on management practices adopted by small communities to ensure the success of alternate arrangements. For example, it would be useful to examine in-depth the methodologies used by local officials to determine the true cost of police services. Effective contract monitoring and oversight practices could be explored as well as performance measurement. Such information could be used to assist local officialsSouthfield resident and Holocaust survivor Martin Lowenburg shares story in new book Southfield resident Martin Lowenberg is featured in the book "Living Witnesses: Triumph over Tragedy" by Sylvan Lake resident Monni Must. In the book, which is sold at the Holocaust Museum in Farmington Hills, Lowenberg shares his experiences living in six concentration camps. He is pictured doing his hobby of crafting metal into Judaic objects. Photo by Monni Must Southfield resident Martin Lowenberg spent his teenage years living in five different concentration camps after his parents and twin brothers were killed. Lowenberg was born in Schenklengsfeld, Germany in 1928 -- five years before Adolf Hitler came to power. And that day, Jan. 30, 1933, forever changed Lowenberg's life. Nazis marched along the streets of Lowenberg's hometown to celebrate Hitler's appointment as

Chancellor of Germany and burnt down his family's home. Until he was 8 years old, Lowenberg said his teacher, who was a Hitler admirer, instructed the other boys to beat him after refusing to celebrate Hitler's birthday and would put thumb tacks and nails on his chair. Advertisement "I was physically molested. ... (My teacher) picked me up and put me right on top of the nails," said Lowenberg, 85. Lowenberg's family was forced to move to a ghetto in Riga, Latvia in 1941 -- deported by cattle car for four days and four nights with only one small backpack for food and their belongings. "It was very bad there. You could not call it living," said Lowenberg. After one year living in the ghetto, Lowenberg said he was separated from his family andtaken to the newly constructed Kaiserwald concentration camp when he was 15 years old. "I had to say good-bye to my parents and my twin brothers. I never ever saw them again," he said. Lowenberg said he later found out his parents and younger brothers Fritz and Kurt were transported to the Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland, where they were killed. "When they arrived, my parents were immediately taken into the gas chambers," said Lowenberg. "I found that out after visiting a museum in Jerusalem. Their names were in the museum." He doesn't know what happened to his brothers, who were 9 years old at the time, but is afraid they were taken by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who enjoyed doing experiments on twins. "I only hope he is not the one who

put his fingers on my little brothers. I will never know because he killed over 300 twins," he said. The other concentration camps Lowenberg was taken to were Libau, Hamburg Fuhlsbuettel and Kiel. "These were all work camps. These were not death camps. But people were killed not by gas and ovens but by shotguns or machine guns," said Lowenberg. "We were in Kiel for three weeks used for slave labor. After three weeks, on May 2, 1945, we were liberated into Malmo, Sweden. We were finally set free." In Sweden, Lowenberg said he was reunited with his sister Eba, who survived her time spent at the women's concentration camps. Every Wednesday, Lowenberg shares his story at the Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills and has returned to Germany four times in thelast six years to share his story with students there. Most recently, Lowenberg was featured in the book "Living Witnesses: Triumph over Tragedy" by photographer Monni Must of Sylvan Lake, her daughter Sabrina and her assistant Linda Schlesinter. "A lot of people do not realize what we have endured as Jews during this particular period," said Lowenberg. Lowenberg said with the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and the recent Boston Marathon bombing, again he can see innocent victims being subjected to cruelty like he was. He wants to teach others "what can happen when people are subjected to suffering, sometimes even in their own homes." "It's a shame that we have to harm other people and children. People get hurt for absolutely no reason,"

he said. "I'm trying to teach how I was abused and how I was tortured as a young boy. Why can't we live in peace?" Monni Must has worked on this three-volume book for more than two years and interviewed 400 people, including Lowenberg. She said once a month, she would go to another state or country for one week to visit the Holocaust survivors there. Internationally, she traveled to Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Israel, London, France and Canada. She realized, through writing this book, how small the world really is. One woman she interviewed in Israel looked through her photographs and recognized five Holocaust survivors from Detroit. Another survivor recognized people from Poland and from California who were in a concentration camp with him. Must said the book was written inMust's three-volume book "Living Witnesses: Triumph over Tragedy" features the stories of Holocaust survivors from around the world.

His duties include meeting with workers, instructing them in their particular tasks, and overseeing projects. He states by affidavit that he is not responsible for hiring or assignment of individuals at particular sites. (Affidavit of Jose Navarro ¶ 6-8.) Defendant had been temporarily assigned by his employer to a job site at Brockton, Massachusetts since November 1987. On April 10, 1988, upon the conclusion of the project, defendant left Brockton with his wife and two children for St. Louis, Missouri. Other employees of Eagle Structure followed defendant. While en route, the group was redirected to Oak Park, Michigan. The party registered at the Murray HillMotel on Eight Mile Road, Detroit, Michigan on April 12, 1988. (Aff. ¶ 4, 5, 13.) On the evening of April 13, 1988, the Border Patrol Sector of the United States Department of Justice, Immigration & Naturalization Service, received an anonymous tip that illegal aliens were staying at Murray Hill Motel. (Declaration of Mark S. Hall, ¶ 2.) Border Patrol agents proceeded to the motel. Observing two subjects leaving the motel, the agents stopped them and questioned them as to their immigration status. (Decl. ¶ 3.) One subject, Manuel Tovar Hernandez, admitted that he was a Mexican citizen in the United States illegally. The other, Tommy Wayne Arias, is a United States citizen whom the Border Patrol agents discovered had an outstanding criminal warrant in Texas. (Decl. ¶ 4,

5.) The two subjects also informed the agents that there were other illegal aliens staying at the motel and that they had three vehicles: the defendant's 1985 Van Ford Pick-Up; a 1972 blue Chevy Camaro; and a 1977 white Ford station wagon. (Decl. ¶ 5.) With the assistance of the Detroit police, the Border Patrol agents approached room 118. Inside were Jose Nino-Navarro, his wife Sylvia (permanent resident alien); and their two children (both United States citizens). Jose advised the agents that he was a legal alien (until May 10, 1988) as he was married to a United States citizen, but that he had left his green card in Texas. He also informed the agents that the other members of his construction crew were in Rooms 221 and 222.the illegal presence of undocumented aliens in the United States. The court stated that its decision was expressly controlled by its earlier holding in United States v. Moreno, 561 F.2d 1321 (9th Cir.1977). Moreno dealt with a foreman who was required to transport illegal aliens in the course of his employment. Finding no violation of the transportation statute, the court stated that "his transportation of illegal aliens was only incidentally connected to the furtherance of the violation of the law, if at all." Id. at 1322. It further held that "there must be a direct or substantial relationship between [the] transportation and its furtherance of the alien's presence in the United States."

Gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A. win Rock Hall of Fame nod Gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A., who shocked white America with their no-holds-barred denunciations of police brutality, won recognition Thursday for their historical role as they were named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The museum to popular music said it will also induct Midwestern US rockers Cheap Trick and Chicago, British hard rock forbearers Deep Purple, and psychedelic bluesman Steve Miller as its 2016 class. N.W.A had been nominated three previous years without winning approval, but the group enjoyed renewed attention in August with the biopic film "Straight Outta Compton," which opened at the top of the US box office. Gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A., featuring Ice Cube, pictured on August 10, 2015, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll HallAfrican-Americans. "Our impact is to show the people that you have a voice. You can say something; you don't have to just sit back and let it happen," Ice Cube told AFP ahead of the movie's release. Public Enemy, arguably the rap group best known for turning hip-hop into a political tool, entered the Hall of Fame in 2013. - Concert full of reunions? - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame determines inductees through voting by more than 800 music figures, with a fan poll contributing one ballot. The Cleveland-based museum will honor the new members at an April 8 ceremony in New York that quickly spurred talk of reunions. Ice Cube told Rolling Stone, the music magazine closely involved with the Hall of Fame, that he hoped Dr. Dre -- who skipped

an N.W.A. reunion in Los Angeles in June -- would join for the induction. He said Snoop Dogg, a protege of Dr. Dre, could perform on behalf of late group leader Eazy-E. Fellow inductee Deep Purple still tours but without 70-year-old guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who parted in 1993 and has since pursued folk music. Blackmore is the force behind one of rock's most distinctive openings -- the blues riff adapted to electric guitar that begins "Smoke on the Water." "Only Beethoven's Fifth Symphony gives it a run for the money as far as recognizability and badassed-ness," the Hall of Fame announcement said. Drummer Ian Paice told Rolling Stone that he "wouldn't put money either way" on Blackmore joining in New York. Deep Purple joins two other British groups already in the Hall of Fame-- Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath -- that together spawned hard rock. - Midwesterners win on first try - Chicago, who won the fan ballot, grew out of the jazz tradition of the band's namesake city, bringing the genre's free-flowing melodies to pop. While initially taking up political themes, Chicago turned into the quintessential soft rock band with a slew of radio-friendly ballads such as "If You Leave Me Now," "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" and "You're the Inspiration." Keyboardist Robert Lamm voiced hope that Peter Cetera, who went on to a successful career as a solo singer, would join his bandmates for their first performance together since 1985. Cheap Trick, also from the state of Illinois, developed a style of heartland rock with guitar-driven anthems such as "Surrender." Cheap Trick discovered an early

fan base in Japan where the band recorded a classic 1978 live album at the Budokan arena. Steve Miller, while born in Wisconsin, became a leading force in the cultural mix in San Francisco in the 1960s as he experimented with jazz, blues and other American roots music. But the Steve Miller Band also achieved commercial success, notably with 1973 song "The Joker." Miller, Cheap Trick and Chicago all won the first year they were nominated.

The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) is an autonomous body under DOS formed with the primary objective of creating world class academic Institution in the area of advanced Space Science and Technology education by seamlessly integrating education with research and generating high quality human resources to meet the quality human resource requirements of DOS/ISRO. IIST, a ‘Deemed to be University’ under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956 was established in 2007 at Thiruvananthapuram. View of IIST student hostels at the Valiamala campus The Institute is the first of its kind in the country, to offer high quality and specialized academic programmes at the undergraduate, graduate, doctoral levels in the emerging areas with special focus to space sciences, space technology and space applications and it also offers(i) M.S. (Astronomy & Astrophysics) (ii) M.S. (Earth System Science) (iii) M.S. (Solid State Physics) and (iv) M.Tech (Optical Engineering). There is no option to exit the dual degree after four years. The dual degree students will give their preference for the M.S./M.Tech. specialisations at the end of sixth semester. They will pursue one of the four specialisations based on their academic performance (CGPA) up to the sixth semester. Admissions to all undergraduate programmes are based on the performance of the students in their class XII Board exams as well as on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE–Main) conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi as well as the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) conducted by IITs, as per the guidelines set by IIST. The Observatory at IIST with

total number of seats in each programme is ten, out of which six seats are reserved for open merit candidates and the remaining four for DOS/ISRO employees. 90 postgraduate students were admitted for the academic year 2015-2016. ESTABLISHMENT OF DR. SATISH DHAWAN ENDOWED FELLOWSHIP AT GRADUATE AEROSPACE LABORATORIES OF THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (GALCIT) The Department of Space / Indian Space Research Organisation has established an endowed fellowship at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GALCIT), California, USA. This fellowship is established in the honor of Dr. Satish Dhawan, who was the former Chairman of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) during its formative period 1972-1984. The fellowship provides an excellent opportunity to the top ranking graduating student from Aerospace Department of IIST, to be sponsored by theto allow ISRO/DOS Scientists/Engineers to join the Ph.D. Programme. 26 Research Scholars were admitted for the academic year 2015-2016. Research in Departments Presently, the Institute has the faculty strength of 93 spread over seven departments. Faculty members from various departments have initiated various research projects. Collaborative research works with various ISRO centres are also undertaken by faculty. The faculty members have to their credit publications in books and journals of both national and international repute; they have also presented papers and lectures in outside universities/academic institutions. One of the major recent developments in the institute is setting up of an “Advanced Space Technology Development Cell” (ASTDC). ASTDC was created in September 2015 as a new technology cell in IIST to develop advanced technologies required by the various centres in ISRO for their

current and future projects. In addition, ASTDC is also responsible for interacting with Indian and foreign universities for the design and development of experimental payloads and nano-satellites. Campus The campus is located at Valiamala, about 25 kms from Thiruvananthapuram city, on the way to the famous hill resort of Ponmudi. The institute provides full-fledged infrastructure of international standards to develop an excellent academic and research atmosphere. Modern environment friendly buildings of unique architecture merge well with the flora and fauna of the surroundings. The academic activities spread across four blocks – Aerospace, Physical Sciences, Avionics and Interdisciplinary. Of these the first two are fully functional and host all the seven departments. The Academic blocks are equipped with spacious lecture halls and well-designed research and curriculum laboratories. The Academic blocks alsoof App Store 'trials', and Victor interviews Richard Moss, who wrote the book on the History of Mac Gaming -- literally. For most of Apple's installed base, WWDC is a dramatic keynote address detailing the future of Apple's platforms--sometimes involving hardware product launches. But for attendees, the week-long conference is an opportunity to gain deeper insight into how things work in a series of Sessions; direct access to Apple's engineers in a series of Labs and the opportunity to meet and share experiences with other developers working on similar problems at Get-Togethers and other events, including the Thursday Bash. Every year Apple invites student developers to its Worldwide Developer Conference. This year there were 350 scholarship winners in attendance.

or delay," Mnuchin said. He said Treasury had met its statutory obligation by delivering its report to Congress by a deadline to list every senior member of the political administration at the Kremlin and every Russian oligarch with a net worth of $1 billion or more. The classified report will serve as the basis for future sanctions by the administration, he said: "There will be sanctions that come out of this report." The secretary said the "intention was not to have sanctions by the delivery of the report last night, but rather to do an extremely thorough analysis. It was hundreds of pages," referring to a classified list of names that lawmakers also received. Sen. Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican who's a lead author of the law that required the report, saidhe was encouraged by the steps taken so far by the US government based on a classified briefing. "On the whole, it is clear the administration is working in good faith, and I am committed to applying pressure, as needed, to ensure further implementation," Corker said in a statement. But the so-called oligarchs' list drew sharp criticism. It was "a missed opportunity and a disappointment," said Daniel Fried, a former assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs and former ambassador to Poland. Fried said the catalog of names was "not a particularly quality list" and seemed to have been "assembled in haste." It could have been better used to exert pressure on the Russian ruling class, he said. The list included 114 senior political figures with close ties to Russian

the administration did not impose any new punishments. The report was "not a sanctions list," Treasury said. The Trump administration was required to publish the list by the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which was meant to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 US election, as well as alleged human rights violations, the annexation of Crimea and ongoing military operations in eastern Ukraine. It was supported by Democrats and Republicans who wanted to try to prevent President Donald Trump from watering down US sanctions on Russia. The President described the act as "seriously flawed" when he signed it into law in August. Earlier Monday, the Trump administration declined to impose sanctions against companies and foreign countries doing business with blacklisted Russian defense and intelligence entities, a consideration requiredgames and pretense.

as hotly contested. Here’s a round-up of five exciting events you probably didn’t know were in the Olympics. Canoe slalom Canoe slalom was originally modeled on the popular alpine ski event. It was first contested in Switzerland in 1933 on flat water and made its Olympic debut in 1972. Today, competitors must navigate against the clock through a series of up and downstream hanging gates and a barrage of whitewater rapids. There are actually two different events that make up canoe slalom: the single-person kayak and the double-person canoe. Athletes to watch: Slovakian men lead the overall Olympic medal count in canoe slalom, and the leader board isn’t likely to change this year. Alexander Slafkovsky led a Slovak 1-2 sweep in the final of the European Canoe Slalom Championships held in his home country in mid-May. On the women’s side, lookout for Australian canoe slalom star Jess Fox. Windsurfing Windsurfing, also known as sailboarding, has been an Olympic event since 1994; women’s windsurfing was added in 2004. The rules of windsurfing are very similar to those of sailing. The event for both men and women will be contested over a 12-race series. Points are awarded according to the finishing position: one point for first place, two points for second and so on. The top 10 windsurfers at the end of the 12 races will move on to the final round. Athletes to watch: Israeli Shahar Zubari will be looking to win an Olympic gold medal – fellow Israeli windsurfer Gal Fridman won gold in the 2004 games in Athens. Zubari took home the bronze in 2008 in Beijing and finished sixth earlier this year at the 2016 RS:X World Windsurfing Championships

need. The boat, filled with refugees attempting to flee war-torn Yemen including women and children, had made it about 30 miles offshore when a helicopter swooped in and opened fire. A local coast guard official from the Houthi-rebel controlled coast of Yemen told Reuters an Apache helicopter attacked the boat, though it remains unclear who is responsible for the attack. Saudi Arabia, which leads an Arab air campaign against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, owns U.S.-made Apache helicopters. A spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition said the coalition didn’t operate in the region of the attack Thursday. The boat was en route to Sudan through the Bab-el-Mandeb, a strait between Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.

Through career development, access to education, and programs to improve leadership abilities, the Foundation is dedicated to reinforcing and advancing medical transport safety. "The IAFCCP is committed to promotion of safety in our profession,” said IAFCCP President Chris Hall."Creation of the Tim Hynes Foundation carries this commitment forward in the transport community through financial support of campaigns, education, and best practices that enhance safety.” On behalf of the Air Medical Crew Education Fund, Jon Gryniuk presented a check in the amount of $5,000, which was matched by Chairman Graham Pierce, of the Board for Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification (BCCTPC), with a promise of an annual contribution. As an inaugural fundraising event, the

Foundation hosted the first annual Tim Hynes Foundation Golf Outing at the Barton Creek Golf Course in Austin, Texas ahead of the Critical Care Transport Medicine Conference (CCTMC). The fundraiser was supported and attended by numerous air medical professionals and industry leaders. Tim Hynes was an IAFCCP founding member who was passionate about his profession. He lost his life in a rescue mission in 1998. "My dad devoted his life to doing what he loved. His job was never just a job to him.

Legally speaking ragging is an act which causes, or is likely to cause physical, psychological or physiological harm or apprehension or shame or embarrassment to a student. It includes teasing, abusing or playing practical jokes or causing hurt to any student or asking them to do any act, or perform anything which he/she would not, in the ordinary course, be willing to do. It started in its mild form in the 8th century AD during the Olympics in Greece. Later the armed forces of several countries and several student organizations in Europe and the USA started practicing this ritual. During World War I ragging underwent a massive transformation. Students who returned

from the war and rejoined college brought with them the techniques of severe ragging practiced in army camps. Ragging has reportedly caused at least 30-31 deaths in the last seven years in India, not all of which are those of freshers. C Lalitha, mother of Mukesh, ended her life due to the controversy surrounding the sexual abuse of her son during ragging. Three of the ragging deaths were those of seniors: two seniors were killed by a first-year student when he was being ragged; one senior ended his life when he was punished for ragging. With privatization of higher education in Indianone, academic institutions in India have been experiencing increasing raggingnone-related excesses. There are certain myths associated with ragging. These myths have "glorified" and justified ragging.

Korea, Thailand to hold summit on high-tech industry cooperation BANGKOK, Sept. 2 (Yonhap) -- The leaders of South Korea and Thailand will hold summit talks in Bangkok on Monday primarily on working together in response to the fourth industrial revolution. President Moon Jae-in arrived in Bangkok a day earlier, becoming South Korea's first leader to visit the Southeast Asian nation in seven years. He will first attend a welcoming ceremony, hosted by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, to take place at the Government House of Thailand, also known as Thai Ku Fa.

The link between several district headquarters and outlying areas stands severed because heavy flood in seasonal nullahs damaged the road network. A large number of mud houses were damaged or collapsed and roads washed away in several parts of Balochistan. The Met Office has forecast more rains in most areas, including coastal areas of Balochistan, on Friday. More rain forecast in most areas of the province on Friday It said isolated, heavy and very heavy falls were expected in Quetta, Zhob, Kalat, Makran, Sibi and Nasirabad divisions. It reported 26mm of rain in Quetta (Samungli), 20mm in Quetta (Sheikhmanda), 19mm in Sibi, 18mm in Dalbandin, 15mm in

Jacobabad, 10mm in Barkhan, 4mm in Kalat, 3mm in Panjgur, 2mm in Zhob and 1mm in Pasni by 5pm on Thursday. Fishermen in Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara, Jiwani and other coastal towns have been advised against fishing in the deep sea. The provincial authorities have issued a high alert in view of heavy rains and flood-like situation in seasonal rivers and nullahs. All rivers were carrying heavy floodwater as rains were reported in catchments areas. No casualty was reported from any area of the province, but over 12 people were injured in rain-related incidents. Eight people suffered injuries due to lightning in Jalaluddin, a village close to the Afghan border. Hill torrents hit parts of Quetta and most of its roads have turned into virtual streams, causing difficulties for pedestrians. Several roads were washedaway in Chaman, Toba Achakzai, Toba Kakari, Khuzdar, Nasirabad, Jaffarabad, Mastung, Kalat and Jhal Magsi districts. Heavy rains with thunderstorm were also reported in Zhob, Loralai, Musa Khel, Harnai, Dukki, Pishin, Khanozai, Sibi, Bolan, Awaran and Dera Bugti. A flash flood swept into the Chaman grid station, suspending power supply to the town and other neighbouring areas. The provincial government has put all divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners on high alert to tackle any emergency situation. Chief Secretary Saifullah Chattah has ordered the director general of the Provincial Disaster Management Authority, all commissioners and deputy commissions to immediately set up control rooms and disseminate focal points to the general public through media and strengthen coordination among bordering districts by sharing information about ensuing flash floods. He also directed the authorities concerned to inform

people in flash flood prone areas about the situation and immediately stock up on relief goods, including food and tents. In Sindh, most areas of Jacobabad district received a heavy spell of rain, while upper parts of the province remained cloudy throughout the day on Thursday. Sukkur and its surrounding areas received a short spell of drizzle. Dadu city and its outskirts received light showers. The Met office had forecast heavy rains in upper, central and southern Sindh on Thursday night and Friday. System moving to KP The active weather system, giving rains over Balochistan, started moving towards Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday and, the Pakistan Meteorological Department warned that it was very likely to intensify by Friday evening, giving widespread downpours in the province for two days. Under the influence of this strongweather system, widespread rains-thundershowers are expected over KP on Friday and Saturday, the department said in its red alert. It said scattered heavy, at times very heavy, downpours expected over upper parts of the province, including Malakand, Hazara, Peshawar, Mardan and Kohat divisions, during Friday evening to Saturday might trigger flash floods in vulnerable areas. The weather system is likely to persist till Monday and will also cause widespread rainfall over upper and north-eastern Punjab, including Lahore on Friday and Saturday. The department said while crossing Balochistan, the system will generate widespread rain-thundershowers, accompanied by strong gusty winds, in the province in the next 24 hours. Heavy downpours may generate flash flooding in vulnerable areas of Balochistan on Friday, and urban-flash flooding in Fata, Dera Ghazi Khan, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi divisions and Kashmir

"There is some real uncertainty introduced with it." The move breaks a truce in the long-running trade war between the world's two largest economies, with investors fearful it could further disrupt global supply chains. China's foreign ministry pushed back against Trump's latest tariff threat on Friday morning, reportedly saying the world's largest economy should give up its illusions, shoulder some responsibility and come back to the right track on resolving the trade war. China's spokesperson at the foreign ministry, Hua Chunying, said at a daily press briefing that Beijing would have to take countermeasures if the U.S. was committed to putting more tariffs on Chinese goods, Reuters reported. Trump's tariff threat came as a surprise to financial markets in the previous session, in large part because negotiators for the two sides had"My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children." These are the words of Mujahid Ali, the father of a Pakistani teenager who lost his life confronting a suicide bomber outside his school in Hangu earlier this week. The BBC reports that Ali's son, Aitizaz Hasan, was just 15 years old. According to the Associated Press, the boy was 17. Aitizaz's cousin, Mudassar, described the events to a BBC reporter. Aitizaz and his friends, the cousin said, were outside of their school when they spotted a man approaching with an explosive vest strapped to his body. "So [Aitizaz] told them 'I'm going to stop him. He is going to school to kill my friends'," Mudassar explained. "He wanted to capture this suicide bomber. He

But great men are often quite evil. I'm not very interested in Lenin, the man; but I'm very interested in Leninism. Lenin is very dead (if not yet buried, I wonder what Putin is waiting for); but Leninism is quite alive. And the Western press has just realized that China, the second power in the world, in place to become the first in a few years, is a Leninist state. It's taken 5 years of Xi Jinping shouting every day about the Leninist orthodoxy of the Communist Party of China for people to realize. Now the West is scared. The West is scared because Leninism is effective. Yes, sure, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991; but lasting 74 years is no mean feat.

And at any rate, the very establishment of the Soviet Union was a superhuman feat. It was something amazing, and amazed was the whole intelligentsia of the Western world for many decades. The kind of people who read my blog might not realize this, but Marxism was huge. Still is, really. Marxism completely captured the intellectual classes of the whole world for over a century. In China it's still the official orthodoxy, taught in schools. In the West it's still with us, if in the morphed form of Cultural Marxism. It's a staple of the right to speculate about why intellectuals hate capitalism. Reagan had a lot of quips about it. As usual, the right was good at cracking jokes, but it just never understood the problem. Which iswhy it lost, and keeps losing, and now we have gaymarriage and black transexuals running for office. To understand Marxism you have to understand the world Marx lived in. 1848. The Liberal Revolutions. Europe had gone a long way since feudalism, through the absolutist wars of the 17th century, the rise of the modern state, and then the series of liberal revolutions starting in France in 1789 all up to 1848. A common thread on all this history is the rise of the bureaucratic state. Feudalism is a very natural form of government. It's basically transposing the hierarchy of a conquering army into peacetime. China started like that, 1046 BC. The German tribes that conquered Western Rome also run like that. The king at war becomes the king at

Mohacs. A state, like any organization, but even more so, wants to get things done. It wants to grow, expand its power and influence. And so feudalism led to absolutism. And absolutism led to liberalism. Liberal states were strong, had armies of bureaucrats and tax revenues that feudal states could only dream of. But while they were effective, they were a mess. Feudalism is good at generating loyalty. Liberalism is awful at that. And loyalty is very important. The fundamental problem of politics is the distinction between friend and foe, said Schmitt. A friend is someone who is loyal. The 19th century, which destroyed the Ancien Regime in Europe, was an economic and scientific golden era, but politically it was a mess. A revolution every decade, governments which lasted months,Lenin went out of his way to recruit everyone who had a grudge against Imperial Russian society. And it worked, brilliantly. The Bolsheviks, a small party with little popular support, won the civil war, and became the awesome Soviet Union. The early Soviet Union promoted minorities, women, sexual deviants, atheists, cultists and every kind of weirdo. Everybody but intelligent, conservative Russians of good families. The same happened in China, where e.g. the 5 provinces which formed the southern Mongolian steppe were joined up into "Inner Mongolia autonomous region", what Sailer calls "consolidate and surrender". In Communist countries pedigree was very important. You couldn't get far in the party if you had any little kulak, noble or landowner ancestry. Only peasants and workers were trusted. Why? Because only peasants and

central planning is orthogonal to Leninist politics. China, of course, had to know. It had been running a centralized bureaucracy for thousands of years. Leninism was just completing the system. So again, the genius of Leninism was in building a ruling class from scratch and making it cohesive by explicitly choosing people from low-status groups, ensuring they would be loyal to the party given they had much to lose. It worked so well it was the marvel of the intellectual classes of the whole world for a hundred years. Meanwhile, what was the West doing? The West, that diehard enemy of worldwide Communism, led by the United States. What has been the American response to Leninism? Look around you. Read Vox. Put on TV. Ok, that's enough. Who is highDemocratic party machine. The party gives them all they have, the same way the Communist party had given everything to that average peasant kid who became a middling bureaucrat in Moscow. And don't even get me started with hostile Muslims or Transexuals. Those people used to be expelled or taken into asylums, pre-1960. Which is why American Progressivism likes them so much. The little these people have depends completely on the Left's patronage. There's a devil's bargain there: the more naturally repulsive someone else, the more valuable it is as a party member, as its loyalty will be all the stronger. This is of course what's behind Larry Auster's First Law of minority relations: the worse a group behaves, the more the Left likes it. This is also why

and New York, are now a one-party state. America has legislation which forces every private enterprise of size to have a proportion of women, of black people and sexual deviants; who of course know they don't belong there, and thus are extremely faithful political commissars. More faithful than the actual official political commissars that Communist China has also in their private companies. And Biological Leninism is extremely powerful overseas too. The same way that Soviet Communism all had natural fifth-columns across the world, with industrial workers forming parties and all doing Moscow's bidding across the West; American Biological Leninism is also an extremely strong means of agitation all over the world. The United States has been the only superpower on earth since 1991. But that's changing of late, with China'sSimonini letter The Simonini letter was a document sent to French author Abbe Barruel in 1806. The author, who identified himself as Jean-Baptiste Simonini of Florence, Italy claimed to have infiltrated the Piedmont Jewish community by claiming to have been a baptized Jew who wanted to restore his connection with his ancestral "nation". The Jews revealed to him that both the Freemasons and the Illuminati were founded by them and that they were planning on taking over Europe. It is one of the earliest instances of the idea of a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory as well as conspiracy involving a cabal of Jews trying to take over the world. History The letter was dated August 1, 1806 and Barruel received it in Paris on August 20 of the same year. Nothing

This is the seventh leg of the round-the-world journey for this experimental aircraft, which uses zero fossil fuels. The adventure began in Abu Dhabi on March 9, and is expected to culminate after twelve individual flights bring the Si2 back to its starting point, setting a number of world records along the way. After delaying the departure date several times, the crew removed the date from their website, posting only that they were awaiting favorable weather conditions in order to select a date for takeoff. Early Saturday morning, the Solar Impulse team announced an anticipated departure of 2am local time on May 31. Later the same day, another press release indicated that the zero-energy plane took off at 2:39am local time, just 39 minutes after the targeted time. TheThe 78-year-old woman tried to sue Iorworth Hoare after he won the lottery in 2004, but was unsuccessful because the sex attack happened 19 years ago. The unanimous ruling backed Mrs A and people featured in four other sexual abuses cases, some involving children. It is expected to pave the way for thousands of victims to pursue claims for damages many years after their abuse. The five cases considered by the law lords were sent back to the high court to be reconsidered in light of today's ruling. The law lords ruled that claims for sexual assault should be brought within three years in future - in line with other civil claims for damages - but said courts should have the discretion to extend the period to permit older claims, removing

the change in the law which I helped to bring about." The charity Victim Support welcomed the ruling but said it would help few people. Its spokesman, Paul Fawcett, said: "It's very good news for her but the wider significance is questionable because the vast majority of offenders don't have assets to chase. "We have long campaigned for a public fund to allow the courts to award compensation, leaving it to the courts to recover assets from the offender and allowing the victim to walk away and put the crime behind them." Mrs A lost her case in the high court and court of appeal, and was ordered to pay Hoare's £100,000 legal costs. Her case was one of five appeals heard at the House of Lords on how the LimitationAct affected claims in abuse cases. Mrs A, who received £5,000 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board, sought compensation from Hoare for psychiatric injury caused by the "violent and disgusting" attempted rape in February 1988. Hoare, 59, who had subjected six other women to serious sexual assaults, including rape, attacked her as she walked in Roundhay Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire. The retired teacher says she still suffers from nightmares and claims the brutality of the attack destroyed her self-esteem, wrecked her relationships and ruined her life. Hoare had not been worth suing until he won £7m. He was jailed for life in 1989 and spent 16 years in prison before buying the winning Lotto Extra ticket while on day release. He was released in 2005 and is reported to live in

He told the young caller that he was, indeed, Santa (sometimes it’s OK when members of the military lie to citizens) and asked her if she had been good.

LIHUE — A federal report released Monday said Hawaii has a higher number of homeless people per capita than any other state except New York. Two-thirds of that population regularly sleep in parks or on the street and the majority are considered chronically homeless. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, 46 out of every 10,000 people in Hawaii and New York were homeless in 2018. Only Washington D.C. had higher a higher rate, with nearly one percent of its population experiencing homeless. The total number of homeless people in Hawaii decreased nearly 10 percent since last year — from 7,220 in 2017 to 6,530 currently. And 2018 marks the second consecutive year the state posted precipitous drop in homelessness —Court on Monday ruled that North Carolina lawmakers unconstitutionally gerrymandered two of the state's congressional districts along racial lines. The decision affirms a lower court ruling in 2015 that ordered the districts to be redrawn. On Monday, the US Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down North Carolina's sweeping restrictions on voting access, which included implementation of a voter ID requirement, cuts to early voting and elimination of same-day voter registration.

Pfizer began using the company's technology in 2010, with the collaboration ending in 2012. The results are currently being evaluated by Pfizer to see if additional agreements are in the near future . But as Justin Fritz of The Wall Street Daily points out, no matter what, the deal was a win-win: "Pfizer dishes out an upfront licensing fee and funds the research. And Organovo gets to maintain intellectual property rights to new tissue constructions that develop through the partnership." A deal with United Therapeutics was also made in 2011.

Entries tagged with “Irish beer bread”. As I mentioned in my previous post, a lot has happened since I moved to Ireland one year ago. And through my adjustment to this country and its culture, there have been a number of people who’ve helped along the way. One of the most noteworthy is a lovely group of foodies who now have a name (Irish Foodies) and an official website: The Irish Foodblogger Association. It was in May of last year that we gathered together for the first time, though back then we were all coming as individual food bloggers and not as a group. Bord Bia and Donal Skehan organized the first-ever meeting of food bloggers in Ireland, and though I had emailed with a few in the months leadinglast week when about 2,000 high school- and college-age women attended the sold out conference held May 17 at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello. After 35 years, the National Hispanic Women’s Conference was changed to the National Latina Conference, a significant change that reflects current times, MAOF President Martin Castro told EGP. The conference was the vision of MAOF founder Dionicio Morales who in the late 1970’s thought it would be a good way to inspire young women and bolster the number of professional Hispanic women in the workforce. “The idea was to recruit high school and college Latinas—our youth—to the day-long conference where they would … attend workshops designed to get them to think about their future and opportunities to help them stay in school,” Martin told EGP. Empowered with

and other fields. Attendees also learned about some of their legal rights, dressing for success and how to play golf during a clinic put on by Latina golfers. One of the more popular workshops included current ABC7 television personalities who discussed what it takes to survive in the television industry. Pico Rivera native Alysha Del Valle shared her story with the young women who were eager to hear about her job as a television traffic reporter; they were surprised to learn her workday starts at 2 a.m. Del Valle said her parents told her to go to college, but since no one else in her family had ever attended she had to figure out on her own how to get there and pay for it once admitted. She said even thoughcountry, said Castro. He acknowledged that the number of Latinas college graduates and professionals is higher then when they first started, but said the drop-out rate among Latinas is still too high so the conference is as needed and relevant as it was three decades ago. He said if they can change the lives of 15 of the more than 900 local women who attend, “then it’s well worth it.” The five women honored this year come from diverse fields and backgrounds, and received awards in one of five categories: International – philanthropist Lorena Ochoa, who was ranked the number one female golfer at the height of her career; Education – Dr. Mildred Garcia, president of Cal State Fullerton; STEM -award-winning engineer and Northrop Grumman employee Ana Luisa Ramirez; Art -internationally acclaimed

If approved, Measure FF would amend the city’s Municipal Code and direct the city council to negotiate a contract that would transfer city-run fire services to the county. The debate over the move has been going on in some form or another since 1989, according to documents Monterey Park staff submitted to the city council. Initially it was the county that proposed a contract with the city for fire services. That proposal was never approved. Facing tighter budgets and escalating personnel costs, city officials in 2010 asked the county to submit a proposal detailing what it would cost to provide fire and paramedic services to Monterey Park. A 2011 feasibility study on the possible move was followed up with an independent analysis conducted by Emergency Servicesrobbery, and Vega arranged for the vehicles to be used during the robbery, police said. “The indictment further alleges that on the morning of the robbery and during it, Vega arranged for (his girlfriend) to wear a device resembling an explosive on her person so that she would appear to be a hostage,” police said in a statement. Following the crime, the woman had told authorities that two masked men had abducted her from in front of her Huntington Park residence and told her that a bomb had been strapped to her body. She said they told her to throw money from a back door of the bank at 941 S. Atlantic Blvd., which she did. The suspects escaped with $565,500, according to KCAL9.

How to implement AI and machine learning (ZDNet special report) | Download the report as a PDF (TechRepublic) Michael Woolridge, head of the computer science department at the University of Oxford, picked up on this point in the report, stressing "neither I nor anyone else would know how to measure progress" towards AGI. Despite this uncertainty, there are some highly vocal advocates of near-future AGI. Perhaps the most famous is Ray Kurzweil, Google's director of engineering, who predicts an AGI capable of passing the Turing Test will exist by 2029 and that by the 2040s affordable computers will perform the same number of calculations per second as the combined brains of the entire human race. Kurzweil's supporters point to his successful track record in forecasting technological advancement, with Kurzweil estimating thatintelligence operates at a level beyond human comprehension. He refers to this point as the singularity, and says it will occur in 2045, at which stage an AI will exist that is "one billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today". The idea of a near-future superintelligence has prompted some of the world's most prominent scientists and technologists to warn of the dire risks posed by AGI. SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk calls AGI the "biggest existential threat" facing humanity and the famous physicist and Cambridge University Professor Stephen Hawking told the BBC "the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race". Both were signatories to an open letter calling on the AI community to engage in "research on how to make AI

comes from Yann LeCun, Facebook's chief AI scientist, who played a pioneering role in machine-learning research due to his work on convolutional neural networks. He believes the path towards general AI lies in developing systems that can build models of the world they can use to predict future outcomes. A good route to achieving this, he said in a talk last year, could be using generative adversarial networks (GANs). In a GAN, two neural networks do battle, the generator network tries to create convincing "fake" data and the discriminator network attempts to tell the difference between the fake and real data. With each training cycle, the generator gets better at producing fake data and the discriminator gains a sharper eye for spotting those fakes.

As an average real wages increased in OECD countries as a whole by 6.7%. Real wages is a term used for wages that have been adjusted for inflation over time.

Foreign objects found in private parts, abdomen of 5-year-old girl, who was bitten, tortured and abandoned semi-conscious Pune: Taking cognisance of the exceedingly brutal nature of his crime, a special court has sentenced a 28-year-old man to triple life imprisonment. The accused, identified as Rajesh Chouhan, had brutally raped a five-yearold girl in July 2013. The court held Chouhan guilty under sections 376 (2) (F), 323 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and under sections 4 and 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. It also slapped a fine of Rs 5,000 against him. His three life sentences will run concurrently. According to the police, Chouhan, a native of Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, was living at Wadgaon Maval. He used to work at GatiCargo company with the father of the victim, and the two families also lived in the same building at Wadgaon. On July 7, 2013, Chouhan asked the victim's father to help him with a problem in his gas stove. While the father was busy trying to fix the stove, Chouhan asked the girl to accompany him to a neighbouring shop. But once they were outside, he took the girl to a deserted place and raped her. After committing the crime, he also warned her against telling anybody about the incident, threatening to kill her. He gagged her and punched her and dumped her in a semi-conscious state outside. Meanwhile, the girl's parents were getting worried and had started searching the area. Since Chouhan was the last person to be seen

with her, he was the prime suspect. When the girl was located, her parents found that she had been subjected to a brutal ordeal. Doctors at Sassoon hospital found foreign material in her private parts and in her abdomen. The convict had also bitten her cheeks and her necks, wounding her seriously. The prosecution examined 13 witnesses during the trial, including the victim's mother and father. The victim herself narrated her ordeal. Dr Uma Wankhede from Sassoon, who operated upon the girl, said her private parts were torn considerably and were bleeding profusely. Judge AG Bilolikar, after hearing the arguments, sentenced Chouhan to life imprisonment on three counts, calling his act worse than a monster's. "The court noted the fact that the accused took advantage of the close relations heenjoyed with the family and the girl's trust in him. Considering the barbaric nature of the crime, the court compared him to a monster," said public prosecutor Macchindra Gate. "The court also ordered the convict to sell his mobile handset in a public auction and credit the entire amount to the government treasury," he added. Facebook Twitter Linkedin EMail

The prevalence of trypanosomiasis may be as high as 20% of the population in the rural zones of the countries where it is endemic. The parasite exists in three developmental forms: epimastigotes, which multiply extracellularly in the mid-gut of reduviid bugs, the insect vectors for spreading disease; amastigotes, which multiply within mammalian cells; and trypomastigotes, which do not multiply, but transmit infection from the insects to mammals and vice versa.

Port Richmond locations. Dear All, Something unusual has been happening in Port Richmond down by the waterfront. The place that time forgot so to speak with its Victorian homes and old store fronts. This section near the waterfront was discovered by the cast and crew of Boardwalk Empire an HBO T.V. series. It was movie magic that brought the area back to life not just with the activity of seeing the actors walking around in period custom. It was also seeing the many different kinds of jobs that the movie industry creates in filming a production. Having the crew here allowed many of the residents to not only see what happens behind the scenes in making a film. It allowed the young people to ask questions about what the crew wasGet Guitar Lessons From Marnie Stern It's been nearly a year since Marnie Stern dropped her most recent full-length, Marnie Stern. And after several months on the road, including dates opening for the Flaming Lips, the New York guitar goddess has taken to her personal Facebook page to announce that she's now providing guitar lessons as well.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Veteran safety Charles Woodson has been one of the Oakland Raiders' most consistent defensive players this season and has been a model of professionalism on and off the field. On Thursday night, the 38-year-old found himself in the unenviable position of nearly coming to blows with teammate Sio Moore after the second-year linebacker cost the team a timeout while dancing and celebrating a sack late in the game. Moore's celebration went far beyond the normal jump-up-and-prance-around routine most players do when making a big play. After dropping Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith for a 7-yard loss at Kansas City's 48-yard line, Moore sprinted down inside the 10-yard line and began to dance and gyrate while the crowd cheered. Rookie linebacker Khalil Mack joined in and repeatedly slapped handswith Moore, then two other Oakland players came running in to keep the party going. The only problem was that while the Raiders were celebrating, the Chiefs were hustling back to the line of scrimmage and on the verge of snapping the ball -- and getting a free play -- when Oakland defensive end Justin Tuck wisely called a timeout. "I couldn't believe it," Woodson said. "That was the first time I had ever seen somebody celebrate for a whole 40-second clock. That was ridiculous, and they know it. I told Sio he's lucky we got the win because we really probably would've had to fight, and I would've seen exactly what kind of fighter he is." All of it became a moot point after Kansas City turned the ball over

Friday, March 2, 2012 A thrilling, no-holds-barred, heavy rock treatment of a clutch of riff-based but fairly commercial pop tunes, Megaton'ssole album has plenty of admirers these days. Perhaps this should be a rock label staple, but the LPs origins are more pop than that with more akin to those ranks of over looked production library classics recorded for one purpose and taking on a different guise and importance to collectors years later. One of the rarest Decca albums gets a legit release. Megaton was a one-off hard rock exploitation album recorded by Les Humphries and JImmy Bilsbury with unknown musicians in tow. Apparently Humphries and Bilsbury have a bit of a history in the European music scene - and not in a good way. They hit on success rightAustin on the 19th-22nd of September where I will be performing Ari Shaffir: Jew, followed by one night of shows and a storyteller show in Phoenix at the end of October.

This is the tale of two namesake buildings. One is the sprawling army hospital, where thousands of wounded soldiers returning from war zones go to receive medical care. The other is a 2,100-student middle school in North Hollywood, Calif., part of the vast Los Angeles Unified School District. Both carry the name Walter Reed, but only one got prime-time exposure during Senator John McCain’s speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday night. Can you guess which one? It turned out to be a banner night for the Southern California junior high, known for its gifted and talented program. A photograph of the school appeared for several minutes on the giant video screen behind Senator McCain as he delivered one of the most important speeches of his career.

Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW), a joint venture between Nestlé and General Mills, will invest CHF 35 million over two years in the construction of a new breakfast cereals factory in Malaysia. The factory - due to begin production in 2012 - will make best-selling Nestlé breakfast cereal brands Koko Krunch, Honey Stars, Cookie Crisp, Koko Krunch Duo and Milo, for consumers in Malaysia, and for export to Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. Located in Chembong, Negeri Sembilan, the 6,500 metre square factory will enable the local production of Nestlé breakfast cereals for the first time in Malaysia, which are currently beingLast updated on .From the section Tottenham The FA's official FA Cup twitter account posted a video of Manchester United defender Chris Smalling answering "Harry Kane" to a question about what was in his pocket. The Football Association has apologised for a tweet from its FA Cup account which mocked Tottenham striker Harry Kane after Saturday's 2-1 semi-final defeat by Manchester United. The message asked United defender Chris Smalling "What's in your pocket?" and included a short clip of him saying, "Harry Kane". An FA spokesman said: "We have written to both clubs to apologise for any offence caused." Tottenham did not make any comment. However, it is understood neither club was impressed by the nature of the tweet given it came from an official account. Kane has scored 37 goals in 44 games in

all competitions for Spurs this season. The 24-year-old struggled to make an impact against United at Wembley but denied returning too soon from a recent ankle injury. "That's people's opinion," said the England international. "People are always going to look for something to say when maybe you're not firing at your best. "At the end of the day, I've still scored two in my last four (games). It's not the worst in the world. "But when you set standards, people are going to look for things when you're not at them. I'm the same. I want to be better, I want to do better. "I feel good. I feel sharp. It's been a tough week, a tough week for the team." More jokes at Kane's expense Kane was recently teased after claiming a goal whichwas initially awarded to team-mate Christian Eriksen in a Premier League win over Stoke. Kane said after the game that Eriksen's free-kick grazed his shoulder before crossing the line. The Premier League goals accreditation panel gave it to him "after taking the player's testimony into account and reviewing the match footage". Players and clubs have since joked he might try to claim goals scored by them. Times journalist Henry Winter claimed Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) chairman Ben Purkiss said external-link at the PFA awards on Sunday that: "Harry Kane is so prolific that he is able to score without touching the ball." On Sunday, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah was named PFA Player of the Year for 2017-18, and team-mate Simon Mignolet warned him on Monday to "take care" as "someone else might

Materazzi breaks silence Italy defender Marco Materazzi has spoken for the first time about the verbal spat that led to his World Cup final clash with French star Zinedine Zidane. A Zidane head-butt on the Italian defender saw the French captain dismissed near the end of extra-time of the July 9 final in Berlin. Zidane subsequenty claimed he was verbally abused by Materazzi, although he has not divulged what his opponent had actually said. But in an interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport, Materazzi claimed it was a remark he made about Zidane’s sister that provoked the Frenchman. Materazzi said that Zidane offered to give him his France jersey after the final whistle in response to the shirt-tugging by the Italian, but he had replied: “I would prefer your sister.” “I did not causeRandy Scruggs, acclaimed guitarist and producer, dead at 64 Randy Scruggs, a Grammy-winning musician, songwriter, producer and the son of banjo innovator Earl Scruggs, died Tuesday after an illness. He was 64 years old. "Randy was a quiet man with an encyclopedia of music as his guide," said friend and collaborator Jerry Douglas. "Blessed to be one of the sons of musical giant Earl Scruggs and ground- and glass-ceiling-breaking business manager Louise Scruggs, he was a wise and generous producer and a brilliant session guitarist. His catalog of successes will boggle those who are willing to follow the long and impressive line he accomplished. I will miss his calm and grace as a man of the studios of our town." Randy Scruggs began making music professionally when he was just 13,

and worked with everyone from Waylon Jennings to Miranda Lambert. Over the course of his career, he played on hundreds of recordings, including two of country and roots music's landmark albums: the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and John Hartford's "Aereo-Plain." He also produced the Dirt Band's subsequent two "Circle" volumes as well as recordings by Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, Iris DeMent and many more. More than 100 of his songs were recorded over the years. Deana Carter took "We Danced Anyway," a song he wrote with Matraca Berg, to the top of the country charts in the mid-1990s. He also wrote several songs with Earl Thomas Conley, including the No. 1 singles "Don't Make It Easy for Me" and "Angel in Disguise." Randy Lynn Scruggswas the second of three sons born in Nashville to Earl and Louise Scruggs on Aug. 4, 1953. He grew up surrounded by music and musicians. When he was a toddler, his father immortalized him with the banjo tune "Randy Lynn Rag." Greats like Maybelle Carter and Johnny Cash would stop by the Scruggs home in Madison. Carter's autoharp fascinated 6-year-old Randy and kick-started his love for making music. "I used to come home at two or three o'clock in the morning and go by the boys' room," Earl Scruggs told The Tennessean in 1995. "Randy would be asleep with the guitar still across his stomach." "It had to have been incredibly hard to grow up as the son of Earl Scruggs," said WSM DJ and Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie

Stubbs. "But Randy, in his own way, carved a very successful path out for himself in a multifaceted career. I know that his parents were both very proud of him and his brothers Gary and Steve. If you were to get into Earl Scruggs’ car and see what he had musically at his fingertips, it was generally a CD by the original Carter Family, something by Uncle Dave Macon and the latest project that Randy was involved in." Scruggs' guitar playing, like the crisp, clean solos he contributed to Rosanne Cash's chart-topping 1987 version of “Tennessee Flat Top Box," and his gorgeous instrumental rendition of "Both Sides Now" on "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" were a lesson in taste and tone. He played in a duo with his brother Garyand with his father and brothers in the progressive-sounding Earl Scruggs Revue for over a decade. In the 1980s, he opened and operated Scruggs Sound Studio in Berry Hill. Scruggs released his solo debut, "Crown of Jewels," an album that featured collaborations with Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, John Prine, Trisha Yearwood, Jerry Douglas and more, in 1998. The album's opening track, Gill and Scruggs' rendition of "A Soldier's Joy," won a Best Country Instrumental Performance Grammy Award. The Country Music Association named him Musician of the Year three times (1999, 2003 and 2006). Two projects he produced, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 2" and Alison Krauss and Union Station's version of "You Say Nothing at All," won CMA Awards for Album of the Year and Single of the Year,

respectively. He is survived by his wife, Sandy, daughter Lindsey and brother Gary. According to a family representative, a memorial will be announced at a later date.

There is an early precedent for this project in the agreement mentioned in Gal 2:6–10. According to Acts, the church at Antioch had sent Saul and Barnabas to Jerusalem with relief (Acts 11:27–30). Subsequently Paul organized a project of relief for Jerusalem among his own churches.

Composted soil also makes the regeneration of soil faster. It prevents the spread of contaminants into nearby plants and water sources as well. Because of the decrease in the amount of garbage in the landfills, it decreases pollution. It reduces the amount of methane in the area. Compost would also decrease erosion when properly placed. Plus, it promotes healthy growth. Trees, soils, and plants in the areas with compost are healthier compared to those without. Other advantages of composting include the prevention of global warming, decreased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, decreased water pollution, and managed storm water. Composting is a small step in making the planet clean and green. Hopefully more people will

light into the light-emitting panel via a first light-transmitting edge surface, said light-emitting panel also being referred to as light guide. The rear wall of the light-emitting panel is provided with coupling-out members, also referred to as facets. These facets are preferably shaped such that light entering the panel via the first light-transmitting edge surface is reflected, predominantly in the longitudinal direction of the panel, in the direction of the opposite second light-transmitting edge surface. The light reflected at this second light-transmitting edge surface strikes the facets, as a result of which the light is partly deflected so as to be coupled out of the light-emitting panel, and partly continues on its way through the light-emitting panel. The facets are provided in the rear wall in such athe light-emitting panel is provided with first coupling-out members for coupling light out of the panel, which light predominantly originates from the first light source, and in that a second sub-surface of the front wall or of the rear wall of the light-emitting panel is provided with second coupling-out members for coupling light out of the panel, which light predominantly originates from the second light source, the concentration of the first coupling-out members near the second edge surface being higher than the concentration of the second coupling-out members, and the concentration of the second coupling-out members near the first edge surface being higher than the concentration of the first coupling-out members. By dividing the coupling-out members into first coupling-out members, which predominantly couple out light originating from the first light source, and

second coupling-out members, which predominantly couple out light originating from the second light source, and by clustering these coupling-out members into, respectively, a first sub-surface and a second sub-surface, said sub-surfaces being positioned at some distance from the edge surface where the light of the relevant first or second light source is coupled into the light-emitting panel, it becomes possible to use a part of the light-emitting panel to mix light originating from the respective light sources before the light of these light sources contacts coupling-out members which couple light out of the light-emitting panel. By raising the concentration of the first coupling-out members close to the second edge surface, which first coupling-out members have a preference for coupling-out light originating (directly) from the first light source, itis achieved that light originating from the first light source first travels through the light-emitting panel for a while, as a result of which the risk of the light striking coupling-out members coupling out said light is comparatively small. In other words, if the concentration of the second coupling-out members near the first edge surface is chosen to be higher than the concentration of the first coupling-out members, a substantial part of the light originating (directly) from the first light source is coupled out of the light-emitting panel at locations which are situated at a comparatively large distance from the first edge surface. The same is true for light originating from the second light source. By raising the concentration of the second coupling-out members close to the first

visible in the display device as a result of insufficient mixing of light are undesirable. By virtue of the measure in accordance with the invention, a kind of (optical) division is brought about between the coupling-out members which couple out light originating from the first light source, and the coupling-out members which couple out light originating from the second light source. In general, in the illumination system in accordance with the invention, the respective sub-surfaces co-operate to uniformly illuminate the display device. The choice of the sub-surfaces and the distribution of the coupling-out members over said sub-surfaces is such that light which, in operation, is emitted by each of the sub-surfaces uniformly illuminates the display device. By virtue of the measure in accordance with the invention, the uniformity of the distributionthen the efficiency of the light-emitting panel is adversely affected. The shape of the coupling-out members influences the way in which light issues from the light-emitting panel. A favorable embodiment of the illumination system is characterized in accordance with the invention in that the first and second coupling-out members are wedge-shaped, a side face of the first coupling-out members facing the second light source extending at least substantially parallel to the second edge surface, and a side face of the second coupling-out members facing the first light source extending at least substantially parallel to the first edge surface. As the side face of the first coupling-out members facing the second light source extends transversely to the (principal) direction in which the second light source emits light, light is not coupled out of

the light-emitting panel when light emitted (directly) by the second light source strikes the first coupling-out members. As the side face of the second coupling-out members facing the first light source extends transversely to the (principal) direction in which the first light source emits light, light is not coupled out of the light-emitting panel when light emitted (directly) by the first light source strikes the second coupling-out members. Light reflected in this manner moves substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the panel. Light can only be coupled out of the light-emitting panel if it strikes a side face of a coupling-out member which does not extend transversely to the (principal) direction of propagation of the light. By reducing the possibility that light originating directly from one ofthis preferred embodiment of the illumination system, the first coupling-out members are mainly responsible for the illumination of one half of the display device, and the second coupling-out members are mainly responsible for the illumination of the other half of the display device. Preferably, the two sub-surfaces demonstrate some overlap in order to improve the uniformity of the illumination of the display device. The distribution of the coupling-out members over said sub-surfaces is so uniform that the light emitted by the sub-surfaces very uniformly illuminates the corresponding part of the display device. A uniformly illuminated display device is obtained by providing the sub-surfaces, preferably, on a part of the front wall or the rear wall which is situated at a (maximum) distance from the light-transmitting edge surface of

Marion 'Suge' Knight claims that his ex-wife and former Death Row Records security chief Reggie White Jr killed Tupac Shakur, and insists he was the real target of the 1996 drive-by. Suge's attorney Thaddeus Culpepper wrote in a signed affidavit, that 'Knight has known for many years that Reggie Wright Jr. and his ex-wife Sharitha were behind the murder of Tupac and attempted murder of Knight.' He added that Knight also had alleged details of Wright's involvement in the Bigge Smalls murder case. The rapper, who until now has always refused to identify the shooter, appears to have spoken out after hearing the 'salient points' in the new documentary Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton. Marion 'Suge' Knight (left, in court in February in a pretrial murder hearing) has finally he revealed thathe was the real target in the drive by that killed Tupac Shakur (right) Suge claims his ex-wife Sharitha (right) and former Death Row Records security chief Reggie White Jr, (left) were behind the shootings 'When our book,came out and we were working on the movie, we gave the salient points of the book (Tupac: 187 The Red Knight) to Thaddeus Culpepper, who read them to Suge Knight,' said co-director Richard Bond. 'Suge's initial response was, "Who the hell are these guys?'' 'He admitted to Culpepper that the theories in the movie were true,' a source said. Suge was so intrigued he sent his private investigators, to discover how the writers and directors found out about what happened. The documentary also claims that Suge had always been the real target of that fatal

shooting. Tupac was just in the way. The film tells of an attempted coup at Tupac's label Death Row Records - co-founded by Suge and Dr Dre among others - which eventually led to the shooting in Las Vegas on 7 September 1996. 'Culpepper told Carlin individually that not only did Knight confirm the events as portrayed in Compton, which portray Knight was the intended target and Shakur as collateral damage, as true, but also goes on to allege that these 1996 events may have been the first in a history of attempts on Knight's life, culminating in the recent attempted killing of Knight at the 1OAK Club in Los Angeles, where Knight was shot six times,' a film spokesperson told Music News. Knight was also the target of allegations thathe was responsible for the shooting of Shakur's rival Christopher 'Biggie Smalls' Wallace in 1997. The film features Culpepper's signed affidavit - which was taken by former LAPD detective Russell Poole on July 18, 2015. The last known photo of Tupac, in the car with Suge, taken in Las Vegas on September 7 1996 Tupac and Suge Knight, pictured together in the 1990s, were friends before Tupac was gunned down in 1996 Suge has also allegedly been accused of shooting Shakur rival Christopher 'Biggie Smalls' Wallace (above) in 1997 - a year after Tupac's death Poole, who also contributed to the book, appears to agree with Suge's theory. He told Vice in 2015 that Wright Jr. and Suge's ex, Sharitha Knight orchestrated the murder to assume control of Death Row Records. 'Suge wasn't divorced yet

and if he died in that hit, she'd get most of everything,' Poole said. 'So she went to Wright Jr., who was in charge of Death Row and ran it while Suge was in prison. '[Wright Jr.] has gotten away with it this whole time. They floated a whole lot of propaganda to former LA Times reporter Chuck Phillips—calling in hundreds if not thousands of fake clues.' White Jr responded to the claims in 2015, after Poole's death, to AllHipHop, pointing out that several people that had accused him of Tupac's murder had died in the past decade. They include the late rapper's ex-bodyguards Michael Moore, Frank Alexander and Poole. 'I believe in karma,' he said. 'All these people are dropping dead. I keep telling people God don't like ugly. I hopeSuge had always been the target of that fatal shooting According to his lawyer, Suge believes both Sharitha and White plotted his death together. The shooting of Tupac, 25, has been surrounded by conspiracy theories ever since. They include claims that Tupac faked his own death with the help of the first cop on the scene, Chris Carroll, who is now retired, and fled to Cuba. There were even theories that Suge had ordered an assassination hit on Tupac and that Carroll was involved. Suge, 50, had always denied he was behind the shooting but until now was unwilling to name who it was. Tupac's last public photograph was taken as he was riding in the car with Death Row Records co-founder Suge on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas. The pair had just

left a Mike Tyson fight held at the MGM Grand, when the 25-year-old rapper was shot as he stood up through the sunroof to talk to a group of women while the car was stopped at a traffic light. Shakur was hit four times - twice in the chest, once in the arm, and once in the leg. THOSE TUPAC CONSPIRACY RUMORS Perennial rumors surface that the rapper - who was shot in 1996 - is in fact still alive. The emergence of a 'selfie' by a look-a-like last year supposedly showing the rapper was just the latest of many wild stories that the star lives on. Some say that Tupac grew sick of his fame, faked his own death and moved to Cuba. Other rumors swirled that police officerCarroll somehow swapped Tupac's body for a double, helping him on the way to starting a secret new life. And the fires have been stoked by Marion 'Suge' Knight, Tupac's former record label boss, who was next to the star in the vehicle when he was shot. Knight has said he never saw the musician's body and has repeatedly hinted Shakur is out there somewhere. 'You know he's somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on the islands,' he said in 2014. Advertisement He eventually died six days later on September 13. Bond believes Suge, who is behind bars awaiting a separate murder trial, is ready to make a statement about Tupac's murder because it proves that he has been a target of gangs out to get him for years. Suge, who was

shot multiple times in 2014, has been in jail since his arrest for mowing down two men in a burger stand parking lot in Compton in 2015, killing businessman and friend Terry Carter and injuring Cle 'Bone' Sloan. The two men had been working as security on the location set for the NWA movie Straight Outta Compton and had got into a dispute with Knight earlier in the day. Prosecutors have charged Knight with murder and attempted murder. He has pleaded not guilty and claims he accidentally struck Carter as he fled the scene in fear for his life suspecting an armed ambush. Bond and Carlin insist Knight was a victim in Vegas, which could be evidence of his that he was also telling the truth about his 2014 shooting atOne Oak and in the Compton case he is only trial for. 'The hope is Knight's confirmation of the story laid out in Compton (the film) may put a final stamp to close this mystery, after 20 years.'

The Harlem-born rapper's recording career may have only lasted five years before he was murdered, but it is the rapper's influence from beyond the grave that will be celebrated. Tupac (left performing in 1994) has had major success, both during his five years making music and after his death.

Tupac and record label boss Suge Knight were driving in when the attack by an unknown gunmen occurred The Las Vegas intersection between the Strip and Paradise Road, where the shooting occurred in 1996 Arguably bigger in death than he was in life, Shakur will be only the sixth rap act to be voted into the Hall of Fame in its 30-year history. The Hall of Fame described him as 'an international symbol of resistance and outlaw spirit, an irresistible contradiction, a definitive rap anti-hero. Shakur has sold 75 million albums, mostly from seven posthumous releases, and although his sales figures will never match those of 21st century hip hop kings like Drake, Kanye West and The Weeknd, his influence remains profound.

It is in the foothills of southeastern Connecticut, where 60 percent of the state's tourism is concentrated. It features the 12,000-seat capacity Mohegan Sun Arena, home of the Women's National Basketball Association's Connecticut Sun. It houses a 350-seat Cabaret Theatre, the 300-seat Wolf Den, and 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of meeting and function room space, including the Northeast’s largest ballroom[3] and 130,000 sq ft (12,000 m2) of retail shopping. It is the home of New London'sWMOS FM radio station. The development of the Mohegan Sun began in

1992 with RJH Development and LMW Investments of Connecticut, and Slavik Suites Inc. proposed the idea of developing a casino with the Mohegan tribe. The three companies formed Trading Cove Associates (TCA), which provided the Mohegans with financial support, tribal attorneys, and advisers to assist in the tribe's effort to gain official recognition as a people. In March 1994 they gained federal recognition as a sovereign people, opening the way to develop a casino. Sol Kerzner, head of Kerzner International (formerly Sun International), became involved with a 50 percent interest in TCA. Waterford Gaming had the other 50 percent interest in TCA. The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority (MTGA) hired TCA to oversee development and construction of the casino.[5] The casino and resort first opened on October 12, 1996.[6] In2000, Trading Cove Associates gave complete control of the resort to the Mohegan tribe; TCA still receives a 5% dividend on the gross revenue generated by Mohegan Sun until 2014.[7] The Casino of the Sky has a planetarium-like domed ceiling utilizing fiber optics to display the sun, moon, and stars (though not in actual star patterns), accompanying the lighting effects of the Wombi Rock, which is a three-story high crystal mountain crafted of alabaster and more than 12,000 individual plates of hand-selected onyx from quarries in Iran, Pakistan, and Mexico; which were transported to Carrara, Italy and fused into glass.

The project was originally scheduled be completed in 2010, with phases of the expansion being completed prior to that. The expansion included the "Casino of the Wind," which opened in August 2008 and features 650 slot machines, 28 table games, and 42-table poker room.[2] It would have also added 1,000 new hotel rooms, including 300 House of Blues themed rooms, accessible through a separate lobby.[14] However, in September 2008, Mohegan Sun placed the Project Horizon expansion on hold, due to the economic recession affecting the regional gaming markets. The feasibility of the expansion would be reevaluated within a year.[15] However, in 2010, the tribe had athe Pocono Downs Racetrack in Plains Township, Pennsylvania from Penn National Gaming.[20] Mohegan Sun renamed the property "Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs" and began a major expansion. Operation as the first slots casino in the state of Pennsylvania commenced in November 2006. On August 2, 2007, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority purchased 150 acres (61 ha) of land in the town of Palmer, Massachusetts, a town in eastern Hampden County, with about 12,000 residents. The land is directly off of exit 8 of the Massachusetts Turnpike. At the time, they had plans to build a retail center and it was unknown if a casino or any type of gaming would be allowed to occur.[21] A month later on September 17, 2007, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick unveiled a proposal to

license three full-scale casinos in the state in a bidding process. The locations would be in the western, southeastern, and Boston area of the state.[22] Both the Massachusetts House of Representatives and Senate passed legislation to allow casinos in the state, but Governor Patrick refused to sign the legislation due to his objections to allowing slot machines at race tracks. Prospects for legalizing casinos in the state were on hold until after the next legislative session began in January 2011.[23] In June 2011, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo said that a bill to legalize casinos would be taken up by state legislators in July pending the outcome of talks with Governor Patrick.[24] In November 2011, Patrick signed the bill allowing three full-scale casinos and one slot machine parlorMohegan Sun announced plans to expand into New York with a casino in the Catskills. The casino will takeover the Concord Resort development in the town of Thompson, New York. The New York casino will consist of a 258-room hotel, a 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) casino with 2,100 video lottery terminals and up to 450 electronic table game positions, five restaurants, retail space, harness race track, grandstand and simulcast and 10,000 square feet (930 m2) of ballrooms and meeting space.[32]

wants to remain speaker of the House. She knows that a failure to impeach President Trump would invite a challenge from the left. Especially if Trump wins a second term. Jerry Nadler and fellow impeachment manager Hakeem Jeffries are both from New York, where the Democratic establishment lives in fear of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her woke brigades. Impeachment is a base play, a way to protect your flank from accusations of anti-Resistance activity. It has also boosted the reputation of Adam Schiff in Democratic circles. He seems right at home in the Senate. A Republican senator told me before the trial began that the conduct of the House managers would play a major role in forming senators' judgments. Nadler's eruption proved the point.

change their mind as often as they want. ... more than a third of the party's 850 superdelegates said they were undecided. New York Times/CBS News Poll The superdelegates are in no way bound by their stated preferences and dynamics in the race are likely to change. Building the appearance of momentum and inevitability is why Clinton and her rivals will gradually be unveiling their endorsements by super-delegates. Howard Dean's momentum appeared unstoppable in the first weeks of 2004. Super-delegate Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa said emotionally a few days before his state's caucuses, "In my entire adult lifetime, I have never seen anyone broaden our party and bring people in and excite young people... like Governor Howard Dean." It was powerful testimony from a hard-nosed politician. Dean had amassed the most super-delegates beforethe Iowa caucuses. But many had buyer's remorse and some abandoned him once he finished a weak third in Iowa.[.] In the two weeks following the Iowa caucuses, 36 of 132 Dean's super-delegates peeled away from him; while John Kerry's tally jumped from 74 to 102." So, Clinton beware! I had never realized that the grassroots primary voter was relegated to only a 60% share of the vote in the Democratic primaries. It is so anti-Democratic in so many ways. It is pretty clear that things can change, as far as the previous declarations of of intent by these "Super Delegates," but this is a system that needs to be tossed along with the conservative DLC types that would likely covet it as populism is on the rise.
