ANALYSIS/OPINION:
TIRANA, Albania — It may not have been big news in the West, but it’s worth noting and praising Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama’s recent decision to expel two Iranian diplomats, including the ambassador, from this tiny Balkan country. The stated reason was for activity “damaging to [Albania’s] national security.”
That ranks as a major understatement.
Tehran has continued to run terrorist operations out of its diplomatic installations around the world, despite being recently caught red-handed conducting lethal operations against civilians in multiple countries. It is a criminal, malignant cancer of a regime bent on exporting its medieval and corrupt dogma throughout the Middle East and the world, while it systemically represses its own people, even stealing the water they drink.
The regime is running murderous intelligence operations on Albanian territoryas this is being written against the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian exile resistance group given safe harbor by the Albanian government. The refuge here dates back to the Clinton State Department, after merciless killings of defenseless members of the group in Iraq by Iranian, or Iranian-backed, forces.
The Iranian terror network has targeted Americans, including MEK supporters former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former New York Mayor (and close Trump legal adviser) Rudy Giuliani. Iran’s two most recent assassination plots against the MEK itself include a foiled March mission to bomb the MEK compound here and a plot this past summer when Iranian diplomats were caught supplying bomb-making materials to a European-based sleeper cell ahead of a major MEK gathering in Paris.

in their writings. It's interesting that the three renowned interpreters did not know about the meaning of da'hya as an egg. Otherwise, they would have mentioned that meaning in their interpretations, which usually include as many meanings as possible. [9] 10. The following verses tell us that the heavens are inhabited by intelligent beings (the angels), who submit to their Lord, Allah, and worship him as do many people on Earth. وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ (الشورى ، 42: 29). And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent (Al-Shoura, 42: 29). وَلَهُ ۥis within the heavens and the Earth and (by) the birds with wings spread (in flight)? Each (of them) has known his prayer and (his) exalting (of Allah), and Allah is Knower (Knowledgeable) of what they do (Al-Noor, 24: 41). *** The following verses also tell us that there are other intelligent beings, who inhabit what is in between the heavens and the Earth, (the Jinn). Some of these also submit to their Lord, Allah, and worship Him, as many humans do on Earth. قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٢٣﴾ قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾ (الشورى ، 26: 23-24).

Facebook’s actions in India have drawn comparisons with the blocking of numerous accounts and pages in Pakistan in 2014 that were severely criticised by advocates of free speech. Among the Pakistani accounts that faced action were Left-Wing political pages and the pages of a popular rock band whose members spoke out against the Taliban, a radical militant organisation. After an outcry on social media, several of the accounts were restored. In a report, The New York Times quoted a Facebook spokesperson in London saying it had blocked the pages after receiving an official request from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, and that thePressure on China's leaders to cut pollution from coal is likely to intensify – potentially hurting Australia's exports – with new research showing Beijing's air quality will get worse with climate change.
The Chinese capital's ring of mountains to the west and north naturally traps pollution, especially in winter.
But a warming world is projected to increase the frequency of the most severe pollution events by half, according to research published on Tuesday in the Nature Climate Change journal.
The duration of events similar to the "Airpocalypse" of January 2013 – when pollution levels soared to beyond 20 times the level recommended by the World Health Organisation – will rise by 80 per cent, the study found. | {

Police Marine Division (officers Seda, Ronda, Toro, and Torres). The FURA team left shore, heading south, around 7:00 p.m. About half an hour later, they received a radio message from a boat identifying itself as the M/V CATU. The CATU stated that it was traveling from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico and wanted to know the weather conditions along the west coast. Irizarry furnished the requested information and, upon inquiry by the CATU, identified himself as a representative of the marine police. He refused, however, to give a specific answer to the CATU's request concerning the FURA boat's location.

In order to avoid the worsening weather, Irizarry changed direction and headed north toward Mayaguez. Around 9:15 p.m., the FURA boat approached theis "the officer in charge at the time."

The policemen's designation forms offered two possible sources of approval for specific actions: the "Special Agent-in-Charge" or "Watch Commander." The government admits that no permission was obtained from the Special Agent-in-Charge, Jaime Echevarria. Instead, it was agent Jimenez who authorized the search. Jimenez testified that, when he received the call requesting permission to board the CATU, he was the "functional equivalent" of a watch commander. Defendants argue that this is an inherently implausible conclusion since Jimenez was not at a duty station but attending a baseball game when the call was received. Such an argument, however, takes much too parochial a view of command status. The evidence showed that Jimenez was wearing | {

The elimination of a temporomandibular joint disorder (however, as previously mentioned, occlusion is rarely an aetiological factor for TMD so there should be significant evidence to support this before alteration of the occlusion is pursued)
Achieving a satisfactory occlusal reorganisation involves choosing a desired jaw relationship (either conforming to existing ICP or producing a new ICP coincident with CR), deciding on the intercuspal contacts (removing deflective contacts and adjusting shapes/inclines of teeth), adjusting excursive contacts (removing interferences) and aiming for a mutually protected occlusion. This is an extremely complex process and entails a clinical occlusal examination as described above, along with detailed examination of mounted study casts and diagnosticgross revenues of his father's business. The case eventually went to trial on a third amended complaint which alleged breach of an oral partnership agreement that was formed during a conversation between Kenneth and his father, Jacques.[1]
At trial, the facts revealed that Kenneth incorporated BESI for Jacques in 1981. BESI's sole shareholder, officer, and director is Jacques, who formed the company to obtain cable television contracts with condominium associations. Kenneth, who was employed in a private law firm, performed BESI's legal work, and drafted some of the company's first service contracts. Although Kenneth was terminated by the law firm in July of 1982, he continued to provide legal services to BESI.
In September of 1982, the Cricket Club Condominium approved a service contract that was negotiated by Jacques. Jacques | {

So many earthquakes have rocked the high desert of Southern California since Friday's 7.1-magnitude temblor that the U.S. Geological Survey said Saturday it is unable to "count all events."
The quakes — there have been more than 3,000 associated with the two major shakers —are part of a sequence that is sure to continue rumbling in Searles Valley and Ridgecrest, California, seismologists say.
Late Friday,Lucy Jones, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, initially said there was about a 1 in 10 chance that yet another earthquake could top the last one, in this case the 7.1 of Friday night.

Not exactly a face you want barreling down at you. iStockphoto.com /Adrian Jones
Walking down a New York City street, the last thing you might expect is for a torpedo to come barreling down at you from atop the Empire State Building. Yet as you absentmindedly watch the pigeons peck away at someone's discarded tuna on rye, an oncoming streak of gray and white barely gives you enough time to take cover under a nearby bench. The pecking pigeons aren't so lucky, and the torpedo, which now appears to have a beak and talons, flies off to a nearby skyscraper, pigeon in tow, to enjoy its snack.
By now you probably realize that the flash of feathers was one of the peregrine falcons that now call bustling cities like Newperegrine falcons are the most widespread bird in the world, absent only on isolated islands and in high mountains, expansive deserts and jungles. Although it may be difficult to spot one sitting still, you can identify them by their bluish-gray backs and similarly colored long, pointed wings, as well as the white and black spots on their bellies. They also have black stripes set against their whitish faces, which resemble mustaches.
As fast as they are, peregrine falcons could barely outrun (or outfly) the dangers of Dichloro-diphenyl-trichlorethane (DDT). Beginning in the 1940s and lasting through the early '70s, the entire American peregrine falcon population experienced drastic declines due to the widespread use of this deadly pesticide, which caused their eggshells to weaken and break and led baby peregrine falcons | {

Gender
General
Gender plays an important role in human aggression. There are multiple theories that seek to explain findings that males and females of the same species can have differing aggressive behaviors. One review concluded that male aggression tended to produce pain or physical injury whereas female aggression tended towards psychological or social harm.
In general, sexual dimorphism can be attributed to greater intraspecific competition in one sex, either between rivals for access to mates and/or to be chosen by mates. This may stem from the other gender being constrained by providing greater parental investment, in terms of factors such as gamete production, gestation, lactation, or upbringing of young. Although there is much variation in species, generally the more physically aggressive sex istypical pattern of primates where several males and females live together in a group and the male faces an intermediate number of challenges from other males compared to exclusive polygyny and monogamy but frequent sperm competition.
Evolutionary psychology and sociobiology have also discussed and produced theories for some specific forms of male aggression such as sociobiological theories of rape and theories regarding the Cinderella effect. Another evolutionary theory explaining gender differences in aggression is the Male Warrior hypothesis, which explains that males have psychologically evolved for intergroup aggression in order to gain access to mates, resources, territory and status.

Brain pathways
Many researchers focus on the brain to explain aggression. Numerous circuits within both neocortical and subcortical structures play a central role in controlling aggressive behavior, depending on the species, and | {

Diego Costa will not play again for Chelsea and will only join Atletico Madrid, according to the Spain international's lawyer Ricardo Cardoso, who says his client is to formally submit a transfer request to the Premier League club.
Costa, 28, joined Chelsea from Atletico for €38 million in 2015, and has won two Premier League titles during his time in London.
However, a falling-out with Antonio Conte over the course of the 2016-17 season led the Chelsea boss to inform Costa by text message in June that he was no longer required at the club.
Speaking to news agency EFE, Cardoso said that Conte and Chelsea were to blame for the situation and the only acceptable resolution was for them to now allow him to rejoin Atletico.
"We are going to activateall the legal mechanisms [to secure Costa's exit] and formally present a transfer request," the lawyer said. "In three seasons at Chelsea he won two championships, and was the decisive player in those victories.

"When he was already with the Spain national team [for a friendly against Colombia last June] and before travelling to Brazil to enjoy his holidays, he was released from Chelsea by SMS by the coach Antonio Conte. Obviously, this release, in the way it was done, and how it became known by everyone, was unfair treatment and a lack of respect to the player on the part of Conte which is unacceptable and inexcusable.

(Reuters) - Air Canada AC.TO said on Wednesday it has removed Boeing's BA.N 737 MAX from its flight schedule until June 30, 2020, a day after the U.S. planemaker warned the grounded jet would not win regulatory approval until mid-year.
The Canadian airline, which has 24 MAX aircraft in its fleet, said the decision was based on operational considerations after Boeing revealed that the MAX’s return to service would be further delayed.
The final decision on the aircraft’s return would be based on the company’s safety assessment, following a green light from thegovernment and approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada, Air Canada said.
The country’s biggest carrier had previously said it would not fly the MAX until Feb. 14, 2020.
Boeing on Tuesday flagged potential developments in the MAX certification process and regulatory scrutiny on its flight control system.
Following the announcement, Canada’s WestJet Airlines said it would remove the MAX from its schedule through June 24.
Expecting approval in the first quarter, American Airlines Group Inc AAL.O, United Airlines Holdings Inc UAL.O and Southwest Airlines Co LUV.N had scheduled MAX flights in early June, but are now expected to extend their timelines.

A compromise was drafted that claimedthat the current Estonian republic was the same republic that was declared in the Treaty of Tartu in 1920. The 'occupation and annexation' claims were dropped because the Estonian parliament knew that the Russian parliament would object to these claims and thought it fruitless to pursue recognition of this historical wrong when they could just as easily get their border treaty signed.
The preamble reads:
Proceeding from the legal continuity of the Republic of Estonia proclaimed on 24 February 1918, as it is stipulated in the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia, from the Resolution of the Republic of Estonia Supreme Council of 20 August 1991 "On the National Independence of Estonia," and from the Declaration of the Riigikogu of 7 October 1992 "On the Restoration of Constitutional Power," and | {

Peter Bradshaw flatly labeled "The best American film of the year") a failure. But it did open the 2000s on a less than triumphant note for the Coens, setting up a half-decade stretch that is generally taken to be their driest period creatively, if not commercially. Their follow-up to _The Man Who Wasn't There_ was supposed to be an adaptation of _Deliverance_ author James Dickey's 1993 novel _To the White Sea_ into an epic action movie. The book is a terse, exciting account of a downed American rear-gunner trying to survive in the Japanese capital during an attack by his own countrymen; the Coens' plan was to film it mostly without dialogue. "Don't set a movie in Tokyo during the firebombing unless you have a lot of moneyon that film that music would remind you—and I know it sounds ridiculous—but it would remind you that you were watching a movie. And of course we know we're all sitting in a movie, but music really took you out of the particular reality of that film. I think there are directors who take music seriously and think about its presence in a film, or about its absence. Hitchcock was one of those directors, and I think Joel and Ethan are as well.

As Democrats have stepped up their explicitly religious appeals to Catholic voters, these bishops have pushed back against the intrusion on their turf. While Democrats talked of finding common ground on abortion, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, the informal leader of this side of the American church, gave a much-publicized speech denouncing Obama as “the most committed abortion rights candidate in history.” Chaput chose to publish his remarks on the Web site of a think tank co-founded by George — the man who had himself argued in an essay disseminated widely last fall through conservative circles, Fox News and Christian radio that Barack Obama was “the most extreme pro-abortion candidate ever to seek” the presidency.
George’s role as an adviser to these bishops began more than 20 years ago,when he was a young professor and recent Ph.D. A mutual friend introduced him to the Rev. John Myers, then a bishop in Peoria, Ill., who was working on a pastoral letter about the moral obligations of Catholic voters and politicians. With George’s assistance, Myers wrote a letter laying out the case that abortion, as the taking of a life, was a crime against the natural law of human reason, not merely a violation of Catholic theology. Therefore, Myers and George argued, Catholic politicians and voters were wrong to write off the church’s teachings as a matter of personal faith. What’s more, the letter warned, voting for a candidate or a law upholding abortion rights would almost invariably put a Catholic so far outside church teachings that he | {

The all-star cast for the Legendary film includes Timothee Chalamet as the lead character, Paul Atreides, as well as Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista , Stellan Skarsgard, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. Jason Momoa, Zendaya and Oscar Isaac are also in talks to join the cast.
Dune is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic 1965 novel, which is set in the far futures and tells a sprawling tale of betrayal and intrigue set on the desert planet of Arrakis, which features a rare and valuable spice drug coveted throughout the galaxy. The novel spawned multiple book sequels, as well as a 1984 David Lynch film adaptation.
Villeneuve's Dune is expected to begin filming in the spring in locations such as Budapest and Jordan. Villeneuve penned the script with EricRoth and Jon Spaihts, and is is also producing along with Mary Parent and Cale Boyter. Villeneuve's previous directorial effort, Blade Runner 2049, faltered at the box office when it opened in October 2017, but it earned the type of critical acclaim Villeneuve has grown accustomed to through films such as Sicario (2015) and Arrival (2016), which earned him a best director Oscar nomination.
In Dune, Rebecca Ferguson plays Jessica, the mother to Chalamet's character. She recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about portraying a member of the Bene Gesserit, a powerful and ancient order of women in the Dune universe. | {

One of Mullen's proposals, which would abolish the city's Board of Public Works, caused so much noise and applause from the audience that the Chairman threatened to clear the hall. Mayor James Chambers later commented that "Mullen was trying the spend the city's money like a drunken sailor" by proposing several orders that would've increased public expenditure. That March, he walked out of a meeting to avoid voting on the city's budget, which would cause the budget to be referred back to the Finance Committee. Alderman Fred C. Hansen stated that Mullen had "sneaked away like a yellow dog" as part of what Thetakes over as president after a statewide conference last month. Johnson is 34, which means he grew up in a post-segregation society. But he said the organization is still fighting some of the same battles of his predecessors.

DuBose said the organization’s next president also must ensure access to the polls now that the Supreme Court has struck down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Image caption General Petraeus (l) is tipped to replace Leon Panetta (r) at the CIA
Gen David Petraeus, the US head of international forces in Afghanistan, will be nominated as CIA director when its chief moves to head the Pentagon, unnamed US officials have said.
CIA director Leon Panetta will be nominated to take over as US defence secretary when Robert Gates retires in 2011, the sources said.
The changes will be officially announced on Thursday.
Mr Gates was first appointed as defence secretary by George W Bush in 2006.
The shuffling of the top national security jobs has been the subject of weeks of speculation.
Analysis It has been rumoured for some time that Gen Petraeus would be on the move by the end of the year. The question was whether he wouldbecome the next chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, or head somewhere else. The rumour has been that Mr Obama favours the current vice-chief at the Pentagon, Gen James Cartwright, to take over the top military job, so director of the CIA looked a more likely slot for General Petraeus. Exact timing will be key. There are still important issues in Afghanistan over the summer to do with the campaign, the strategy, and troop withdrawals. But there will be a vacancy at the CIA, it seems. Leon Panetta's challenge will be greater, and his reported nomination is more significant. He has a hard act to follow in Robert Gates, who is widely respected as both a deft and safe pair of hands. The Pentagon also faces | {

aspiration of ordinary people to take control of their lives that fueled passion for the revolt against the human condition of monarchy, exemplified by the imposed authority of King George.
Despite all the flaws, contradictions and inherent inequality with the founders and the large gap between ideals and reality, the Bill of Rights was a groundbreaking move away from the single power of central authority, whether it be King, plutocrat or president. It was an attempt to create a shift from the centralized throne to a system of law, specifically with the U.S. Constitution as a mechanism for the balance of power.
This history-making document is a declaration of the supreme power of the common man. It recognizes everyday people as the primary active agent within any healthy society. Nowithdraw that trust and authority.
Yet despite the ideals in the Declaration, from its inception democracy in the U.S. Republic was never intended to be direct, created of the people, by the people and for the people. The idea of equality self-evidenced in the Declaration was kept unfree as the Republic took representation as its formal governing structure. The true revolutionary force behind the First Amendment remained leashed. This was most apparent in the denial of rights for slaves, indigenous people and women.
Though in many ways it was a groundbreaking concept, American democracy still had a tendency for corruption and unchecked power of privilege. In this representative form of governance, some progress was made, but the fuller meaning of the First Amendment remained unrealized and was simply translated as | {

Party instead chose to run L. Neil Smith, whose candidacy was a protest against that of Browne.
Claims of wrongdoing by Libertarian National Committee staffers during Browne's 1996 presidential campaign surfaced during his second run in 2000. Browne responded to allegations surrounding the controversy.[6]
After the 2000 elections, Browne continued to work to increase the popularity of libertarian goals. In addition to writing and making appearances on behalf of the Downsize DC Foundation (an organization he helped to co-found and for which he served as Director of Public Policy for a year and a half), he hosted two weekly network radio shows,[7] one on Saturdays dealing with politics, which he often called "The Libertarian Conversation" (since listeners were encouraged to call in), and the other on Sundays, called "The MoneyShow", dealing with financial topics. Both of these radio programs were on the Genesis Communications Network. Browne also worked with the Free Market News Network, of which he was the President for much of 2005, and a Senior Political Analyst. Via Free Market News, he had his own internet-based television show called This Week in Liberty, which ran for 25 episodes.
Prior to his death, he was also working on a book called The War Racket: The Lies, Myths, and Propaganda that Feed the American War Machine. War, he contended, was just another government program, and was essentially flawed because "government never solves anything."

Top cop resigns in disgrace over link to racist and obscene posts
One of Victoria Police's most senior officers and the head of the force's Professional Standards Command has resigned in disgrace over racist and obscene posts made under the pseudonym Vernon Demerest.
Assistant Commissioner Brett Guerin, head of Professional Standards and a police officer of 40 years, was last week referred to Victoria's anti-corruption watchdog after The Age revealed he posted shocking comments under the online pseudonym "Vernon Demerest".
The Age revealed on Monday that that nom de plume has been also linked to several vile posts on social media under the Demerest alias, including references to "cheating dagos", "third world dullards", "Indian and Pakistani peasant[s]" and "jigaboo[s]".
Within an hour of The Age revealing the new allegations, Mr Guerin resignedAnti-corruption Commission last week after The Age revealed he was responsible for offensive comments about former Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon and former Police Association boss Paul Mullett on a blog.
Mr Guerin admitted on Thursday that he was behind the comments made under the name Vernon Demerest, after the fictional character played by Dean Martin in the 1970 movie Airport.
Last Friday, he was directed by Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton to take leave while the state's corruption watchdog investigates him.
Of Ms Nixon and Mr Mullett, "Demerest" wrote in August 2016: "She [Ms Nixon] bent the Mulletmeister [Mr Mullett] over and slipped a rather large schlong up his date courtesy of the Supreme Court's decision this morning."

During the middle of the 19th century, London’s antiquarian market was flooded by the sudden arrival of a large number of supposedly mediaeval leaden artifacts of unknown origin. Questions about the authenticity of the items were raised, but the general consensus was that they were real. The objects were eventually revealed to be forgeries made by two lowly criminals with no background in either history or archaeology. In fact, they were illiterates. As expected, their products were also inept and crude. What’s embarrassing was how readily some of the most authoritative medievalists of Victorian London fell for the slipshod workmanship. Known as Shadwell forgeries these medieval-looking medallions, amulets and coins with nonsensical inscription and jumbled numeration were today’s equivalent to phishing emails with incorrect spellings and grammar.
The Shadwellforgeries were the work of two mudlarks, William Smith (Billy) and Charles Eaton (Charley), who scoured the banks of the Thames for anything of value that they could sell. It eventually dawned on them that they could earn more by fabricating antiques themselves. In 1857, Billy and Charley began manufacturing a range of “medieval” objects by making moulds out of plaster of Paris and casting the objects in lead and later a lead-based alloy. Their techniques were extremely primitive and amateurish, leading to poorly defined edges, pitted and uneven surfaces and poorly drawn figures of knights wearing strange spikey crowns and bearing childish expressionless faces. Inscriptions were just meaningless scribbles since neither Billy nor Charley could spell.

Mahaprabhu saw the elaborate preparations made for offering food to Radha and Govinda and to serve Him, and praised Sarvabhauma for his efforts. When He sat down to eat, Sarvabhauma’s son-in-law, Amogha, came to watch. Sarvabhauma knew Amogha’s fault-finding character and so had kept a stick to chase him away so that he would not disturb the Lord. However, he was so absorbed in serving the Lord that Amogha managed to sneak in. He saw the lavish feast, he immediately began to criticize:
“There is enough food here to satisfy a dozen people and yet this sannyasi is going to eat all this by Himself?” (Chaitanya Charitamrita 2.15.248)
Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya flared up in anger, took the stick whichhe had at the ready and went after Amogha, who fled as fast as he could. Sarvabhauma’s wife, shocked on hearing her son-in-law insult the Lord, began to flail herself on the head and chest and repeatedly said, “May Nathi become a widow!”
The Lord Himself laughed off Amogha’s trivial criticisms and tried to pacify Sarvabhauma and his wife. The next day, however, Amogha came down with cholera. Sarvabhauma thought that justice was being done, that it was a suitable punishment for the offensive words spoken by his son-in-law. When Gopinath Acharya informed Mahaprabhu that Sarvabhauma and his wife were both fasting and that Amogha was on his deathbed with cholera, the merciful Lord immediately went to Amogha’s bedside, placed His hand on his chest and said,

of jointly developing comprehensive industrial policies under the auspices of regional integration bodies such as the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). Regional co-operation in industrial policy design and implementation has the potential to both identify and capitalise on the productive synergies that exist between states, and to enhance the integrated performance of industrial sectors across borders.
The Zambian economy has undergone profound reforms in the last two decades. It has transited to a market economy from the previously centrally planned economy. As part of the economy-wide reforms, the country's industrial and trade policies have also been re-oriented to suit the needs of the market-oriented economy. This paper therefore reviews the evolution of Zambia's industrial and trade policies from 1964, when the country gained independence, to 2009. This period isthe Structural Adjustment Programme and re-oriented its trade and industrial policies towards the market. Government's role has changed from that of an investor to creating a conducive (mainly macroeconomic stability and licensing reforms) and incentivised environment for private export oriented industrialisation strategy. The incentives have included fiscal incentives and infrastructural support. The reforms have resulted in an increased production and export of manufactured goods by more than 300% between 1991 and 2008.

Mrs. Fielding donated $245,000 to allow the city to purchase the 12-acre property on which the school once sat. She also agreed to foot much of the $150,000 bill for the school’s demolition.
In August 2016, Mrs. Fielding celebrated her 100th birthday by donating $1 million for the purchase of 300 more acres of land. She made that donation in memory of her parents, Susanna and John Kivi, as well as the Finnish immigrants who settled in the neighbourhood and helped shape the city. McIntosh says Mrs. Fielding has donated close to $2 million so far to get the park ready for visitors. McIntosh says it is her way of giving back to the community in which she grew up. Mrs. Fielding was raised on a farm in thehead, and was knocked unconscious for approximately five minutes. Plaintiff was transported to Pender Memorial Hospital emergency department, then transferred to the New Hanover Medical Center where x-rays of plaintiff's spine and left shoulder were obtained. Both x-rays indicated normal results. CT scans of plaintiff's brain and chest were also conducted and normal results were indicated. Plaintiff was diagnosed with a concussion and neck strain and was kept at the hospital overnight for observation.

Run Defense
14/20
Brooks can struggle to break off blocks, but he does show a willingness to come down into the box and make attempts on the ball. As a tackler in the open field, he's very good, and he can even be violent. But a good stalk block or rub from a moving blocker will throw him off his game.
Speed
18/20
A natural athlete with good movement skills, Brooks has the speed to compete with backs and receivers down the field. You see the burst from his lower body in his change-of-direction skills and the way he attacks outside runs. Speed is not an issue here.
Upside
16/20
Brooks is a talented, NFL-ready player. But how muchroom does he have to grow? There is obvious room for upside in terms of coverage awareness and route-recognition, but as a center fielder, he doesn't have as high of a ceiling. Brooks' current ability is very good, but his room to improve isn't as big as others.
Overall
85/100
One of the top coverage safeties in the entire draft, Brooks has been overlooked due to a very talented Florida State draft class. With his ability to step right in to a defense and play the role of center fielder, his stock is on the rise.

So Weiss helped him create an environment that encouraged risk-taking — even if it resulted in failure. "What he did was at the end of the year when they had their annual awards ceremony to reward those who had high sales or the best service, he started giving out an award for 'the best idea that didn't work'," says Weiss, who wrote the book "Million Dollar Consulting. This small change helped to not only to inspire his team to be more creative but helped the executive reignite his passion for the job. Weiss also oftendo things as well or as fast as I can," is the other big issue he sees in leaders. The key to effective delegating is to help people understand that "there's no such thing as perfection. It doesn't exist, and perfection always kills excellence," Weiss says. With the 80-hour executive, Weiss says he helped him understand that when an employee is performing tasks that are "good enough," leave it at that and move on. With that understanding, Weiss helped the executive identify the high-level tasks he absolutely had to do due to his level of expertise, but he also helped him figure out who on his team could best handle the rest of the work.

We walked in together. We took a few steps forward, but stopped before reaching the line of tape on the floor. We stayed in the center of the room, and I reminded my kids to not touch the hanging lamps. As the door closed behind us, the infinity-room effect of the mirrored walls took over our perception.

She couldn’t pass a reflective surface — a shop window, a mirror or any shiny piece of metal — without snapping a selfie. In photo after photo, she stares directly at you: a rangy woman with a deadpan expression, wearing a man’s shirt and shoes.

As a high school freshman in Greensboro, N.C., weighing his prospects for a basketball career, John Isner was forced to admit that dribbling was not his specialty.
“I couldn’t handle the ball at all,” Isner said. “Not even average.”
That has changed dramatically in adulthood: Isner is a standout dribbler in an entirely different sport. His penchant for bouncing the ball between his legs as he plants his left foot and squares up to the baseline is a key component of the buildup to his serve — one of the biggest ever.
Isner used his pet basketball move, virtually without fail, to usher himself into position on the 91 serves he uncorked in his straight-sets, first-round victory over Guillermo García-López at the United States Open on Tuesday.

Amin Elhassan had this to say about the Cavaliers:
Remember when I said some teams cash in their youth for "win now" vets? That's exactly what Cleveland did when it moved players such as Tyler Zeller and Sergey Karasev in cap-clearing deals to sign LeBron James, then traded Wiggins and Bennett in the Kevin Love deal.

On this raid, one of the bound survivors is spotted taking a ring from his finger and swallowing it so as to keep the pirates from having it. The pirate captain calls one of his men over and tells him of the foolish deed and motions him to retrieve the ring. The pirate pulls out a knife, goes offscreen to the victim and returns with a very bloodied knife and right hand, and he presents the ring in his left hand to the captain! BAD...ASS!!!

We'll Bring the House Down (song)
"We'll Bring The House Down" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released in 1981 as the lead single from their ninth studio album We'll Bring the House Down. It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Slade. The band's first single to reach the UK Top 40 since 1977, the song peaked at No. 10 in the UK, remaining in the chart for nine weeks.
Background
Having suffered from low popularity and a lack of chart action in the UK since 1976, Slade's fortunes changed when they were offered a headlining slot at the Reading festival in August 1980, following a late cancellation by Ozzy Osbourne. The band's performance saw the music press begin toFirst Nations Sovereignty now on the International agenda

of the son.Whenever I see a column criticizing social traditions and public policies that ignore children born to parents of modest means - without stock market portfolios or networks of well-connected friends that whites are priviledged to have from STOLEN wealth or FREE labor from slaves. You might as well ask: Why didn't those children do a better of job of choosing their parents?Since children obviously cannot choose their families, it's impractical, at best, to neglect those born outside the magic circle of white middle-class attainment, social mobility has been limited by a range of trends, including the demise of manufacturing jobs and the making of laws constructed by mostly whites, that benefits only their own. In turn these circumstances makes the routes to a better life blocked,and their circumstances more limited than many of us can imagine.
This is a very interesting question Vera and one that I've answered to white people to their face and my answer has been met with many different reactions. Though most of them didn't like my answer. First, did you know that "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" was a tune done by James Brown back in the sixties? But to answer your question. It's all about perception.

All of a sudden, we had an internationally negotiated soft law or a set of guidelines on (land) tenure navigating successfully through the global web of interests on land, reaching a common ground. The consensus at the CFS was further strengthened by the endorsement of the VGGT by the G20, Rio+ 20, the United Nations General Assembly, and the Francophone Assembly of Parliamentarians.
This journey started with an inclusive consultation process started by the FAO in 2009, and finalized through intergovernmental negotiations. Importantly, no interest group – governments, CSOs, academia, private sector – felt left behind, and the States were engaged in word-by-word review of the guidelines.
This can be seen in the result. The VGGT’s | {

A man who was brutally stabbed by Brooklyn subway slasher Maksim Gelman two years ago had his negligence case against the city dismissed in court yesterday, despite the fact that two transit officers had locked themselves in a motorman's car only a few feet from him at the time of the attack.
Gelman stabbed Joseph Lozito in the face, neck, hands and head on an uptown 3 train in February 2011, after fatally stabbing four people and injuring three others in a 28-hour period. Lozito, a father of two and an avid martial arts fan, was able to tackle Gelman and hold him down, and Gelman was eventually arrested by the transit officers. Lozito sued the city, arguing that the police officers had locked themselves in the conductor's carand failed to come to his aid in time.
The city, meanwhile, claimed that the NYPD had no "special duty" to intervene at the time, and that they were in the motorman's car because they believed Gelman had a gun. And Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Margaret Chan has sided with the city, noting that there was no evidence the cops were aware Lozito was in danger at the time.
Chan did however, note the heroism of Lozito's actions: "The dismissal of this lawsuit does not lessen Mr. Lozito’s bravery or the pain of his injuries," she wrote in her decision yesterday. "Mr. Lozito heroically maneuvered the knife away from Gelman and subdued him on the subway floor." Gelman was sentenced to 200 years in prison in January 2012; he was | {

and found under the passenger seat an empty, twenty-four-ounce beer can in a paper bag. At that
point, Mesa was not yet concerned that Decker might have been intoxicated. Mesa then spoke to the
Charltons again. When he returned to Decker, Mesa asked him to perform field sobriety tests, but
Decker refused. It was then that Mesa formed the opinion that Decker was intoxicated and arrested
him. Mesa’s opinion was based in part on Decker’s acts, the smell of alcohol on his breath, the
description of the accident, and the fact that Decker left the scene. Mesa had Decker sit in the back
King has previously released her own line of gender-neutral clothing for kids.
Actress Jaime King has given movie-goers a lesson in supportive parenting, championing her 4-year-old son's decision to wear a pink dress.
Sharing a photo of her and her son, James, at the premiere of Incredibles 2, King was clearly proud of her son's sense of self-expression.
"I love my baby SO MUCH!!!" she wrote in the photo's caption, adding that he even "chose my lipstick and dress".
King added a love note to her husband, Kyle Newman, writing: "The greatest creation has been our love made manifest in our children."
She concluded with the hashtag #ifyoulikeitwearit - showing her support for her son's clothing preferences.

mechanism are attached to the dynamic portion of the sealing mechanism. Such lips are in contact with a moving surface and press against such surface to form an intimate seal and prevent leakage of a hydraulic oil or a gaseous material past the sealing mechanism.
The first and second lips are essentially identical in construction and they are attached to the second and fourth side walls respectively. In particular, the first lip is made up of three separate elements defined as an upper face, a lower face and a vertically positioned side face. The upper face is connected preferably to a channel which is located in the upper surface of the sealing mechanism. In many instances, the upper face may be directly connected to an upper surface and notthrough the channel. The lower face of the first lip is connected to said second side wall.
The second lip also contains an upper face, a vertically positioned side face and a lower face. Because of the position of the second lip being attached to the lower portion of the fourth side wall, its lower face is connected directly to either the channel located in a lower surface or the lower surface itself. The upper face of the second lip is connected to the fourth side wall.
It is preferred that the first and second lips extend in a direction normal to the second and fourth side walls and preferably identical distances from such side walls.
The upper and lower faces of the first and second lips should be smooth, flat | {

Decker then admitted he had been drinking and said he was sorry for that. Brandy further testified
that Decker appeared to be slurring his speech, but admitted that she was unaware of whether his
speech was usually slurred. She refused to opine as to whether she believed Decker was intoxicated.
Jason Mabbitt, a paramedic with San Marcos EMS, testified that he arrived on the
scene after Decker had been placed in the back seat of a police car. He treated a cut on Decker’s
hand. He observed that Decker was “alert and oriented to person, place, time andevents.”
According to Mabbit, Decker’s speech was slurred and Mabbit smelled alcohol on his breath. He
asked Decker if he had consumed any alcohol, to which Decker replied, “No comment.” Mabbit did
not, however, form an opinion as to whether Decker was intoxicated.
Rudy Mesa, a police officer with the City of San Marcos, was at a gas station when

Volpe provided the trial's dramatic highlights, as the first defense witness, and Schwarz as the last. Both contended that Schwarz was never in the 70th Precinct lavatory during the assault.
A Brooklyn federal court jury reached a verdict on the fourth day of deliberations. The jury found there was a cover-up after the August 9th, 1997 beating of Louima in a police precinct.
Schwarz and officers Thomas Wiese and Thomas Bruder were found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct justice because they had claimed that Schwarz was not present during the brutal attack. The penalty is up to five years in prison.
Volpe, who is serving 30 years after pleading guilty to attacking Louima, was subpoenaed from prison to tell his story under oath for the firstthe authorities, or to save a friend. He said he knew Schwarz only slightly, by his last name not as "Chuck."
Recounting the attack, Volpe said he mistakenly thought Louima had punched him during a disturbance outside a Haitian nightclub, and became "frustrated and angry" when the arrested suspect cursed him repeatedly.
"But I'm not blaming Mr. Louima or trying to say it's his fault. I was the one who assaulted him," Volpe said.
Schwarz, who testified for the first time last week about that infamous August night, repeated his assertion that he was never in the bathroom, and said he would not expect other cops to lie to protect him, particularly Wiese, his patrol partner.

Dr. Harry M. Simpson, Jr., a reputable practicing physician of Florence, Alabama, who examined the body of the deceased a few hours after his death, testified that, in his opinion, death was the result of a stab wound in the chest which caused shock and the loss of blood. Dr. McVay testified further that he discovered a traumatic injury, or abrasion, on the back of the deceased's head. On cross-examination, Dr. McVay testified that fall backward by the deceased from a standing position, hitting hishead on the pavement, "would be consistent with the abrasion".

The Shawshank Redemption type Movie
Tim Robbins has had a long time — 25 years, to be exact — to contemplate his film The Shawshank Redemption.
Those two and a half decades have been kind to the movie, which was a box office disappointment during its initial run in the fall of 1994, earning just over $16 million. But thanks in large part to repeat showings on television and a strong push on rentals, the film slowly achieved cult classic status, as evidenced by its No. 1 ranking on IMDB’s user list of the most popular films of all time.
Based on Stephen King’s novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, the film follows Robbins’ Andy Dufresne, a banker who is wrongly imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover,Presented for the first time on DVD, these four Technicolor Westerns confirm McCrea’s iconic status as an enduring Western hero and the embodiment of honor, integrity and courage on the untamed plains of America. Starting in the silent era, Joel McCrea rapidly became one of the most popular and versatile leading men of the early thirties. He was ideally cast in everything from Pre-Code dramas (The Common Law, 1931) to exotic adventures (Bird of Paradise, 1932) to suspense thrillers (The Most Dangerous Game, 1932) but his real forte was Westerns. By the late forties, he began to specialize in frontier sagas due to his immense appeal to fans of the genre.

III Masonry in the Colonial United States
Masonry arrived in the Colonies in 1682 when John Skene of Aberdeen Lodge, came to Burlington, New Jersey. Nothing much more is known of him. Over the next 50 years Colonial Freemasons exercised the immemorial right of Masons to form a lodge and make Masons. Coil reports evidence that although no chartered lodge existed in the Colonies, a lodge was held in King’s Chapel in Boston in 1720, and that the Boston News Letter for May 25, 1727 gave a detailed account of
the Grand Lodge meeting in London.

Starting in 1730, the Modern Grand Lodge appointed Provincial Grand Masters in the Colonies. The first Provincial Grand Master in America was Daniel Coxe, appointedfor New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in 1730. There is no record of his performing any actions as a Grand Master. The Modern Grand Lodge also warranted lodges throughout the colonies starting with St. John’s Lodge in Boston in 1733, and in that same year, Henry Price was appointed Provincial Grand Master for North America. He opened the St. John’s Grand Lodge in Boston, and issued warrants to lodges in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and elsewhere.
The Grand Lodge of Scotland warranted lodges throughout the colonies starting in 1756 with St. Andrew’s Lodge in Boston and Blandford Lodge in Virginia. They also appointed Capt. John Young as Provincial Grand Master in 1757. Joseph Warren | {

When he reached the curve, which was at the top of the hill, he saw the "Men Working" sign. About halfway to the curve in the road he started to brake because the truck is top heavy. After he made the curve over the top of the hill, he saw the Valley Electric employees working and blocking the entire roadway. When he saw the "Men Working" sign, Morris testified that he did not think that the road was blocked but that men would be working on the side of the road. Gillespie testified that prior to pulling the diggertwenty miles per hour, after which, he put the truck in the ditch.

After landing in the ditch, the truck travelled fifteen feet. Morris described what happened to the truck. The wheels hit the bank of the ditch. The logs slid forward in the truck and cut the headache rack and shoved it into the cab of the truck against his seat, pushing Morris over the steering wheel.

On the same day, Nilsa Ruiz-Rivera posted a $10,000 cash immigration bond with the Chicago office of the INS to secure the release of her husband pending his appeal. After his release, Rivera-Aristizabal went to Chicago, where he remained until his deportation.

The delivery bond required Ruiz-Rivera to produce her husband "to an immigration officer of the United States upon each and every request by such officer...." The BIA affirmed the deportation order on June 10, 1991. The Oakdale INS office notified Ruiz-Rivera by certified letter, dated June 21, 1991, that she was required to produce her husband to the INS in Oakdale, Louisiana at9:00 a.m. on July 15, 1991 for deportation. The Oakdale INS office similarly notified Rivera-Aristizabal in a June 24, 1991 letter that he needed to report to the Oakdale INS at 9 a.m. on July 15, 1991. Rivera-Aristizabal signed return receipts for both letters on June 29, 1991.

On July 2, 1991, Rivera-Aristizabal filed a petition for review of the BIA's decision in this court. In a letter dated July 5, 1991, his counsel1 informed the INS office in Oakdale of Rivera-Aristizabal's appeal and claimed that the filing of the petition for review automatically stayed the deportation order. Rivera-Aristizabal's attorney faxed a copy of the petition for review to the Oakdale INS office on July 10, 1991. Upon receipt of the facsimile, an INS | {

Where to find Colin in 2018: Moran was acquired from the Houston Astros during the offseason as a part of the trade in which the Pirates dealt star pitcher Gerrit Cole. While Moran was blocked by a talented collection of infielders with the world champion Astros, Pittsburgh seems like a goodlanding spot for the 25-year-old. He earned the job as the Pirates’ starting third baseman and made a big splash in Monday’s home opener by hitting a first-inning grand slam.

Also under arrest were Joel Rodríguez de la Cruz, aka Squiddy; Reynaldo Rodríguez Valenzuela, aka The Chinaman; and the suspected driver of the motorcycle, Eddy Vladimir Feliz García, aka The Package.
Many were caught in the same clothes they were seen wearing on surveillance video, Bautista said.
The four suspects still at large were identified as Luis Alfredo Rivas Clase, aka The Surgeon, as well as a woman known as The Venezuelan, or Red, and two other men, prosecutors said in a statement.
Meanwhile, in Boston, Ortiz’s wife said in statement that the former Red Sox slugger was able to sit up and take some steps as he recuperates in the intensive care unit at Massachusetts General Hospital.
“His condition is guarded, and he will remain in the ICU for thecoming days, but he is making good progress toward recovery,” Tiffany Ortiz said in the statement.
Prosecutors said security camera footage showed two men on the motorcycle talking with other people in a gray Hyundai Accent and in another Hyundai in a nearby street before the shooting.
One of the suspects, Mirabal Acosta, was seen driving the Accent before mounting a motorcycle driven by the 25-year-old Feliz García, the prosecutors said in a court document.
“In one of the videos it was possible to observe both the accused and the shooter planning the commission of the incident,” the prosecutors said.
The document also revealed ineptitude, saying the motorcycle driver was captured after he skidded and fell off his bike as the pair tried to flee. Enraged fans captured García and beat him | {

ever abuse the saints of God and for selfish, greedy purposes slaughter innocent sheep and tender lambs, it is at least as bad if not worse when carnal, ungodly church-members rise up against a godly, holy shepherd and bring railing accusations against him, ultimately seeking to destroy his ministry because he dared to stand up against them for what is right.
A pastor has perhaps one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. He is expected to love everybody, treat everyone fairly, and never be offended by anything anyone would say or do. And he is expected to mysteriously produce and maintain an aura of respectability in a church. He must visit and pray for the sick, be attentive to the concerns and complaints of each member ofthe church, bless babies, marry young couples, and bury the dead. All of this he must do while seeking to know the mind of Christ for the church as a whole, and for each individual as well. And he must teach doctrine and preach the gospel.
And for the most part, he is well rewarded for his labor. By and large, Apostolics are very faithful in giving honor to whom honor is due, and even giving double honor from time to time.
But there is a blight that will sometimes settle in on a congregation, a blight that if it is not removed in time will choke the very life out of the local assembly and often jeopardizes the health and sanity of the shepherd. When a member or a | {

1. The number of items within the archives which have been damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen in 2014, 2013 and 2012
The losses include more than 60 Foreign office files, over 40 Home office documents, and six from the records of former prime ministers.
According to the BBC, one MP from the parliamentary group on official archives said he was “concerned” by their loss.
The losses were revealed by a FoI request submitted by the BBC.
A 1979 document titled “Military andnine peer reviews was submitted by DNS on 15 April.
In an email last month, DWP claimed it did not understand the DNS freedom of information request, even though one of its civil servants had admitted two months previously that the peer reviews had been prepared for release.
Many of the 49 reviews released in May concerned the deaths of disabled people who had applied for employment and support allowance (ESA), through the much-criticised work capability assessment (WCA) process.
And many of the reviews – 40 of which refer to benefit claimants who took their own lives – involved long-term claimants of incapacity benefit (IB) who had been reassessed for ESA.
Although crucial parts of the peer reviews were missing because they were heavily redacted, DNS found 10 key recommendations for DWP | {

accused of being abolitionists because of the writings of the San Antonio Zeitung which was admittedly abolitionist. The Ledger reminded its readers that the German newspapers of New Braunfels and Galveston both condemned the "wild theories advanced by the San Antonio Zeitung."[38]
In the eyes of the Democrats, the Germans, like the Mexicans, were good, law abiding citizens, and could be trusted on the slavery issue, therefore, they were Americans, and the Democrats intended to add their votes to those of the Anglos and Mexicans. Sometimes this alliance took a natural form. On the Saturday night prior to the election, the Democrats held a rally for all who opposed secret political organizations. At the rally speeches would be given in "German, Spanish, and English." At other times, linking thegroups together was contrived. Such was the case in an article concerning textbooks. The article was about the textbooks used in southern, and San Antonio, schools. The books were written and published in New England and were critical of the South. However the article began with a quote from José Antonio Navarro, "Public things are valued in honor, reputation, and a good name," which had little to do with the article. The article ended with a reference to the Anglo John Smyth. Smyth had stated that hard work was a virtue. The Ledger reported that John Smyth "would probably indorse [sic] the Teutonic energy of our industrious fellow-citizens of German." True, the article was awkward, but it managed to link the most famous Mexican citizen of San Antonio | {

Cathar yellow cross
–
Inthe Middle Ages, the Cathar yellow cross was a distinguishing mark worn by repentant Cathars, who were ordered to wear it by the Roman Catholic Church. Catharism was a movement with dualistic and Gnostic elements that appeared in the Languedoc region of France around the middle of the 12th century. Cathars were dualist in their beliefs, and the Catholic symbol of the crucifix was, to the Cathars, the office of the Inquisition was formulated in response to Catharism, and a crusade was ultimately declared against Catharism. To be acquitted of charges of heresy, all a suspected Cathar needed to do was provide proof of marriage, repentant first offenders, when released on licence by the inquisition were ordered to.

close the hole and correct the mistake. He then had Bethlehem "drill some holes so we could bolt a plug into it." Alexander further stated that he was present when Bethlehem drilled the "bolt circle," that the work conformed to his request, and that the rod and cylinder then were returned to Aero.
At Aero, a cap to fit in the bolt circle was made and bolted to the rod, all under Alexander's supervision. Slate saw the cap while it was being made and he knew of its intended purpose. He was also aware of the fact that Bethlehem had drilled the hole improperly in the first instance (at least in Alexander's view) thereby requiring these additional corrective measures. However, although Slate knew of the problem and Alexander's proposedsolution, Slate relied entirely upon Alexander's skill and judgment in the matter.
After the cap had been attached to the rod, Alexander asked Slate, on October 26, 1978, to assist with a second test of the isostatic press. The rod was placed in the cylinder and pressure was brought up to 60,000 to 65,000 pounds per square inch and maintained at that level for about three to four minutes, when Slate noticed water dripping at the seam where the cap met the rod. As he called out to Alexander, a fine stream of water erupted from the seam, slicing Slate's face and right arm and hand.
Subsequent inspection of the isostatic press revealed that the leak had been caused by the failure of the seal on the end of the | {

In the fall of 2003, after the world learned there were no WMD -- as Habbush had foretold -- the White House ordered the CIA to carry out a deception. The mission: create a handwritten letter, dated July, 2001, from Habbush to Saddam saying that Atta trained in Iraq before the attacks and the Saddam was buying yellow cake for Niger with help from a "small team from the al Qaeda organization."

The 46th RBMS Preconference will be held June 21-24, 2005, in St Louis, Mo.
"Bridging The Gap: Education and Special Collections" will explore a crucially
important issue in our profession: the rift between the growing variety of educational
roles played by special collections librarians — as teachers, advocates, interpreters,
impresarios — and the shrinking opportunities for formal training and continuing
education available to prepare special collections librarians for these roles.
A full Program of events is now available. Leading by example,
the preconference will offer all-day Workshops
as continuing education opportunities for participants. The roster of
Plenary Speakers includes voices from the
United States and abroad, scholars and library professionals, teachers and students.
Illustrating the major themes of the preconference, the Seminars
will cover such topics as "Preservation Education for Special Collections Librarians,"
"Current Trends in Fellowships," and "Redefining Rare, or,What's So Special About That Collection." And a group of
Short Paper Sessions will present thought-pieces
and case-studies on exhibitions, the use of primary source materials in a classroom setting,
and library outreach initiatives. St. Louis has never before hosted an RBMS preconference,
and local institutions are eager to share their treasures with participants.
Information about Tours is now available.
The conference will be based at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis,
in the former St. Louis Union Station. This beautifully-restored National Landmark is
convenient to the Gateway Arch and Laclede's Landing, and overlooks the historic
1874 Eads Bridge, the first bridge
to span the Mississippi at St. Louis, and a symbol of this year's preconference.
Inexpensive dormitory housing will also be available.

Kill Anything That Moves
The Real American War in Vietnam
By Nick Turse
(Metropolitan; 370 pages; $30)
In early 1971, the New York Times Book Review splashed its cover with the question "Should We Have War Crimes Trials?" American perceptions of the war in Vietnam were at a sort of tipping point, and the military was nervous. A retired general and respected prosecutor at Nuremberg argued in the Times and on "The Dick Cavett Show" that Gen. William Westmoreland might be guilty of war crimes. "[O]ur army that now remains in Vietnam," a colonel wrote at the time, "is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having refused combat, murdering their officers ... drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near-mutinous."
As Nick Turse tells it in his indispensable new history ofthe war, challenges to the military's perceptions of the conflict, which it pretended to be winning every day for years, started with Seymour Hersh's groundbreaking account of the My Lai massacre. American soldiers murdered 500 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai in 1968, and after Hersh's exposé, suddenly war crimes were a hot story. For a moment. But Turse insists that if the editors of Newsweek hadn't "eviscerated" an article that described a much larger death toll in 1972, the wool wouldn't still be pulled over Americans' eyes.
The problem, as described in Turse's "Kill Anything That Moves," is the tension between the "bad apples" argument - which sees atrocities in Vietnam as the exception - and the reality of the broader, official "American way of war." Turse came to | {

Commanders in charge of training Afghan troops had asked staff members for routine research using publicly available information about the views of visiting lawmakers and did not order deceptive methods usually employed against enemy armies, military officials said.

A military lawyer had looked into the case and concluded the orders were lawful, the officials said.
The allegations in last week’s Rolling Stone magazine article come from an army lieutenant colonel, Michael Holmes, who charges he was asked to violate regulations and use his “information operations” techniques on prominent senators.

be sent to revolutionary committees for implementation. Observers have noted instances in which Gaddafi, in a nominal role of avuncular overseer, was rebuffed by the Jamahiriya system and times where he rejected its demands. As head of the armed forces, he never really relinquished the power that would have made the Jamahiriya all the more empowering to the population. But this is not to say it does not include elements that American democracy could not profit by, notably the Jeffersonian and anarchic notion of delegating decision-making to the most grassroots level.
Among the numerous transformative changes that benefited large swathes of society were the nationalization of the oil industry and the reduction of imperial influence in the country. The standard of living improved dramatically, surpassing every other African nationby the time of Gaddafi’s demise. Education and healthcare were freely provided. Housing was freely provided. Portions of oil proceeds were deposited directly into citizen bank accounts. Electricity was free. New mothers received a state grant. Illiteracy was dramatically reduced. Gaddafi even demanded that foreign oil companies pay for the losses inflicted on the country by the West’s illegal sanctions in connection to the Lockerbie scandal from the 1980s. But that is only part of the story.
It was Gaddafi who supported the African National Congress (ANC) at a time when Washington considered it a brutal terrorist organization, and Nelson Mandela as its sinister cohort. It was Gaddafi who put $300 million dollars up to start a fund that created Africa’s first satellite communications system called RASCOM (Regional African | {

The secrets
of what made The Divine Comedy's unique slant on pop 'n' rock
so successful are now well known: Neil Hannon's suits, a wicked
perception of a catchy tune and lyrics so sharp you could cut
your ears on them.
It was an
amazing combination that led to the storming success of amusing,
story-telling tracks such as "Something For The Weekend"
and "National Express." And yet with Regeneration,
their first album since their "best of"compilation,
the band have managed to reinvent themselves ever-so slightly;
a bit of a regeneration, if you will.
The divine
humour on the new album is more downbeat, introverted and dark
than they have previously introduced to us, taking a look at childhood,
religion and the passing of time. Familiar melancholy themes,
to be sure, but the treatment given over to them on Regeneration
is typically tremendous.
