had on Young. From his childhood home in a town in North Ontario to his first recording in Winnipeg to his final moments before setting out for Los Angeles and skyrocketing to fame, this is Neil Young's Canada.
Toronto General Hospital
Nov. 12, 1945, 6:45 a.m.
Neil Percival Young is born to parents Scott and Rassy Young. As he sings on "Born in Ontario," "I was born in Ontario/ Where the black fly bites/ And the green grass grows/ That's where I learned most of what I know."
33 King St. W., Omemee
1949-1953
"There is a town in North Ontario," Young sings on "Helpless." His hymn to Omemee, Ont., was originally released during his stint with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1970. It's one of his most iconic songs, which is fittingconsidering this is where Young spent parts of his early childhood. While Young's family was constantly on the move due to his father's job in journalism, this small town in the Kawartha Lakes region managed to leave an indelible mark on the icon. "I think Neil would probably agree if there's anywhere either of us would point to as home, it would be Omemee," his brother Bob says in Shakey: Neil Young's Biography. Young even urged the writer of the book, Jimmy McDonough, to go to Omemee. As he put it, "they remember me like I don't."
When the two-acre property that Young called home for seven years, until he was eight, was recently listed for sale, the realtor was sure to include a picture of Young sitting on

the steps with his children.
"Neil passed through during the '90s with his own actual family, just to show his kids where he lived and where he grew up," the realtor told the Toronto Star. "They knocked on the door and asked 'Hey, can I come in?' ... So they've got pictures of Neil in the house and sitting on the steps and stuff like that." The house is located near a river and train tracks, undoubtedly instilling Young's lifelong fascination with both.
Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute,
125 Chatsworth Dr., Toronto
1959-1960
On the song "Don't be Denied," from Time Fades Away, Young recounts sitting on the steps of Lawrence Park Collegiate with his friend, Comrie Smith. In Sharry Wilson's Neil Young: The Sugar Mountain Years, she uncovered that Young and Smith tracetheir musical discoveries to this very school. "I remember when we were kids, I'd meet Neil every day on the corner to walk to school together and he'd have his white bucks on and his transistor radio just blaring out," Smith told Uncut magazine. "He loved the Fendermen with 'Good Morning Captain.' … Neil and I both loved Roy Orbison. We would listen to 'Only the Lonely' and 'Candy Man' in my living room. We had both started playing earlier with Neil on his baritone ukulele and me with my acoustic guitar. We had thought we would form a group together when we were in junior high but then, of course, he left."
Victoria Hotel, Fort William (present-day Thunder Bay)
Nov. 12, 1964
In a hotel room on his 19th birthday,

Young penned "Sugar Mountain," the song that Joni Mitchell once described as "a lament for his lost youth." When he later spoke about his early band, the Squires, and its time in Fort William in Neil Young: Don't be Denied: the Canadian Years, Young said, "We did 'Farmer John' really good back then in Fort William. We used to break loose in it. That was one of the first times I ever started transcending on guitar. Things just got onto another plane, it was gone. … That's when I started to realize I had the capacity to lose my mind playing music."
Blind River
June 1965
Young was driving to Sudbury in the summer of 1965 when his beloved 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse, "Mort" (a.k.a. "Mortimer Hearseburg"), broke down just outsideBlind River. The hearse was immortalised in the song "Long May You Run," which was also the title of the album he recorded with Stephen Stills, released in 1976. Ironically, they broke up only nine days into the Long May You Run tour, with Young informing Stills of his departure via telegram: "Dear Stephen, funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way. Eat a peach. Neil."
David Rea's Apartment, Yorkville Avenue, Toronto
1960s
During his Yorkville coffeeshop days, Young got high for the first time, as he reveals in the recently uncovered song "Hitchhiker." "You didn't see me in Toronto, when I first tried out some hash/ smoked some then and I'll do it again/ if I only had some cash."
In the biography, Shakey, he recalls it was at

his friend and folk artist David Rea's apartment, "with some members of the Allen Ward Trio — Craig Allen, Robin Ward.... It was fun. A revelation."
The Fourth Dimension Club, Simpson Street,
Thunder Bay
1964-1965
In April 1965, Stills played into the night at Thunder Bay's 4D club (a coffeehouse with franchises in Northern Ontario and Manitoba that Young would play regularly). The opening act? Neil Young and the Squires. "Stills' voice was phenomenal," remembered Young. "We got on quite well right away. We didn't talk about forming a band then, but we knew that we wanted to get together."
The Mynah Birds, Yorkville, Toronto
1966
Wearing black leather jackets and yellow turtlenecks, Young experimented with R&B alongside a young Rick James (later of "Super Freak" fame), who had fled to Toronto from the U.S.Naval Reserves service. The Mynah Birds were financed by John Craig Eaton (of the prominent Eaton family) before signing to Motown Records. After some complications with management, Young and Bruce Palmer bought a hearse and drove to Los Angeles, soon after forming Buffalo Springfield. Young's recordings with the Mynah Birds wasn't released until 2006.
The Riverboat, 134 Yorkville Ave., Toronto
1969
In 1969, Young (who had moved to Los Angeles by this point) played a series of sets at the Riverboat, which was one of the most famous coffeehouses in Yorkville's bustling folk scene. Apart from Young, who regularly played the Riverboat when he lived in Toronto, you could see the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Murray McLauchlan and Joni Mitchell, with the cover charge being around $1.75. In 2009,

Young released the recording of his 1969 performances, called, simply, Live at the Riverboat 1969.
Massey Hall, 178 Victoria St., Toronto
Jan. 19, 1971
Neil Young and Massey Hall are synonymous. They're historically intertwined and the venue serves as a homecoming of sorts. In 1971, Young performed two sets at Massey Hall, debuting now iconic acoustic material for the first time. It was a one-man show, and Young played songs that would appear on Harvest, Time Fades Away and On the Beach. It took 36 years for the concert to be released for public consumption, captured on the album Live at Massey Hall 1971, released in 2007. Young will be honoured at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame on that same stage.
Manta Sound Studios, 311 Adelaide St. E., Toronto
February 1985
Young participatedin the recording of "Tears Are Not Enough" with a group of Canadian musicians under the name Northern Lights. It was the Canadian response to other supergroup singles, such as Band Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas" and USA for Africa's "We Are the World," with the goal of raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Recorded in the middle of the afternoon, Young stood beside Joni Mitchell in studio and never removed his sunglasses. Corey Hart, on the other hand, did.
Kingston Penitentiary, King Street West
1985
Like another iconic Canadian storyteller after him, Young referenced a Kingston penitentiary on his song "Time Off For Good Behaviour."
"My brother went to prison/ he's in Kingston doin' time / he got seven years for sellin'/ what I've been smokin' all my life,"

Young sings. Perhaps not a coincidence, Gord Downie's lyrics about Millhaven Institution, in nearby Bath, Ont., also reference a brother.
Lakehead University, Thunder Bay
1992
In 1992, Young was awarded an honorary doctor of letters from Lakehead University, a place near to where he played so many gigs. He spent his early years with the Squires in the mid-'60s regularly performing in local venues such as the 4D and the Flamingo Club.
"Back by popular demand," a poster reads for a 1964 gig at the Flamingo Club for Neil Young and the Squires. (Manitobamusicmuseum.com)
Rideau Hall, Ottawa
2009
Young's commitment to Canada was honoured with the Order Of Canada in 2009 — one of the country's highest civilian awards, established to mark a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation.
Canada'sWalk of Fame, King Street West, Toronto
2000
Found on the north side of King Street West, Young's star is situated between those of Jacques Villeneuve and Donald Sutherland.
Live 8, Park Place, Barrie
July 2005
With a capacity crowd of 35,000 in attendance, Young closed the day after sets from Barenaked Ladies, DMC, the Tragically Hip, Mötley Crüe, Jann Arden, Jet, Our Lady Peace, Gordon Lightfoot, Blue Rodeo, Céline Dion, Bryan Adams and many more. The Canadian chapter of the Global Call for Action Against Poverty and United Kingdom's Make Poverty History campaigns concluded with a moment of peak Canadiana when Young shared vocal duties with Gord Downie on "Rockin' in the Free World."
Manta Sound Studios, Toronto

Produced by the Band's Garth Hudson, a compilation was issued of Canadian musicians covering songs from

the Band. On the cover of "This Wheel's on Fire," Young is backed by one of our country's best-kept secrets, the Sadies. The Sadies were on the road when they got the call to record with Young and Hudson, so they cancelled their show in Wisconsin, drove home to discover that a sore throat had forced Young to cancel, then turned around to continue the tour in Green Bay. Several months later, the phone rang and Young was back in Toronto. They met at Manta Sound Studios near Bloor and Ossington with Peter Moore and Hudson at the console, laying it down after a few takes. Shortly after, Young and Crazy Horse brought the Sadies on the road with Patti Smith.
Earl Grey School, 340 Cockburn St. N., Winnipeg
1960-61
Followingthe dissolution of Young's parents' marriage, the 14-year-old moved to Winnipeg with his mother. He befriended John Daniel and formed his first band, the Jades, which only had one performance at the Earl Grey Community Club. Young once said, "I knew when I was 14 that music was all I wanted to do."
At Earl Grey School, Young was on the yearbook committee and contributed a paragraph titled Why I Chew Gum, which begins: "Some people like to chew gum. I am one of them."
The Gray Apartments, 250 Hugo St., Winnipeg
1960-62
The Gray Apartments were the first place Young and his mother lived after leaving Toronto. "Winnipeg is where it all started for me," he recalled in the book Neil Young: Don't be Denied, the Canadian Years. "I have so

many fond memories of that time." That said, Young's song "Don't be Denied" tells the story of his trouble integrating into his new community.
Kelvin High School, 155 Kingsway, Winnipeg
1961-64
Young would have only spent a couple of years at Kelvin High, but they were instrumental. According to Neil Young: Don't be Denied, the Canadian Years, the Squires played in the school cafeteria, until Young dropped out of school in 1964. "The first time I sang in public was in the Kelvin High School cafeteria," he wrote in Special Deluxe: a Memoir of Life & Cars. He sang the Beatles' version of "Money" and "It Won't be Long." "I was terrified. I'll never forget that feeling." Young repeated Grade 10 before quitting one month into his second attempt at Grade11. He returned for the school's 75th anniversary.
1123 Grosvenor Ave., Winnipeg
1962
In 1963, Young and his mother moved to Grosvenor Avenue, a nicer neighbourhood than their previous one, and not far from the childhood home of Randy Bachman and Nellie McClung. Several years ago, on a tour stop in Winnipeg, Bob Dylan stood out front to admire the history behind the doors and windows where Young wrote his first song, "No." Dylan and his manager were invited in for a tour, and asked many questions about Young's bedroom. This was his last home before leaving Winnipeg.
CKRC, 155 Carlton St., Winnipeg
Fall 1963
Winnipeg DJ Harry Taylor of CKRC offered the Squires studio time in order to cut a single. In the fall of 1963, "The Sultan" b/w "Aurora" was released by

V Records. They were both instrumentals, written by Young, with the A-side track relying heavily on the gong. "It was my first recording session and I was just glad to be there for the experience, but I was still searching for the right sound," Young says of it. Fewer than 300 copies were pressed; copies now sell for upwards of $4,000. A year later, they recorded Young's first vocal performance, "I Wonder." Young asked Taylor what he thought. "You're a good guitar player, kid," Taylor said, "but you'll never make it as a singer."
The 4D Club, 2000 Pembina Highway, Winnipeg
October 1965
This legendary Winnipeg club was a regular venue for Young, and it's where the Squires made their debut in August 1964. But perhaps more importantly, it was alsowhere he met Joni Mitchell, in October 1965. As the story goes, Young played Mitchell "Sugar Mountain," a song he had written about the end of childhood just before his 19th birthday in Fort William, Ont. Mitchell was so moved by the song that she wrote "The Circle Game" in response.
Falcon Lake
Summer 1987
Found just outside of Winnipeg, geographically, and in the deep dives of Buffalo Springsteen's catalogue, musically, "Falcon Lake (Ash on the Floor)" is an instrumental piece by both definitions of the phrase. In his collaboration with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, Heart of Gold, Young talks about the Buffalo Springfield song and obsesses over the hours he spent at the jukebox in Falcon Lake with his first girlfriend, Pam Smith. It's said Young learned Ian and Sylvia's "Four

Strong Winds" — a song he would later cover — from that same jukebox.
Blue Note Café, 220 Main St., Winnipeg
June 27, 1987
Young helped put this Winnipeg venue on the map when he got onstage after midnight in the summer of 1987 and proceeded to perform with his former school bandmates, the Squires. According to a fan, "Neil Young stepped up to the microphone and announced, 'Hi, we're the Squires and this is our first gig in 25 years.'" A live album featuring performances from Young's '87-88 U.S. tour is also called Bluenote Café, and when he released his 1988 album, This Note's For You, it was credited to Neil Young & the Bluenotes.
Red River
2005
"The Red River still flows through my hometown," Young sings on "It's a Dream," from2005's Prairie Wind. The Red River forms the border between Minnesota and North Dakota and cuts through the Red River Valley before emptying into Lake Winnipeg. The Red River has also been referenced as a central organizing point for residential schools, which Young further criticized in his song "Powderfinger."
Fort McMurray
September 2013
Young argued against the Keystone pipeline from the Canadian perspective, discussing the effects in Fort McMurray: "Fort McMurray looks like Hiroshima," he said. "Fort McMurray is a wasteland. The Indians up there and the native peoples are dying." He and Willie Nelson led the charge in what they called a fight against climate change, even headlining an anti-pipeline concert in Nebraska. Young also released a new song inspired by his fight called "Indian Givers."

Young performed a benefit concert alongside Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan for McLachlan's School of Music, which provides music education to underprivileged youth. Young opened his set by performing the song "Goin' Back."
BC Place, Vancouver
March 2010
Some 60,000 people gathered inside Vancouver's BC Place while millions tuned in to the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. One man. One harmonica. One guitar. Young performed a weighty rendition of his anthem "Long May You Run" before the Olympic torch was extinguished. Earlier, he and his brother Bob had attended the gold-medal game in men's ice hockey — Canada versus the United States.

Neil Young will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame on Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET. ForTennessee and Kentucky. Ahead of them was Florida and Georgia (who lost to Ga. Tech.). Clearly this wasn't a strong division top to bottom, however the top team did become the MNC. But the overall depth wasn't there.
In the other division you have Alabama at the top, followed by Mississippi (who lost at Wake Forest). LSU was after them. They had a poor conference record, but it's hard to analyze their performance because they didn't play any good OOC teams. Then Arkansas, Auburn, and Ms. State all followed with 2-6 in conference records, with OOC losses as well.
So as you can see, the SEC was not deep at all last year. They had two very good teams UF and Alabama, but not a whole lot after that.

Fla,Ala and Miss.will be in the preseson top 10..SI has Ole' Miss at #7...hard to imagine.Plus last year the SEC was young.New coaches will help.Last year was a down year..thats just one year and we still had the National Champs.3rd year in a row.Probably again this year.
It was a young conference last year and we still had the most players drafted.
CBS and ESPN didn't spend 2.25 billion for a two team conference.They did it because
the SEC was fixing to start their own network.CBS and ESPN was not about to go
into the college season having to schedule ACC/Big 10 or whoever against a channel
of SEC games.If the ACC was top to bottom better,where is their TV deal?
Past,Present and the Future the SEC is still the meat grinder conference.
They betterfans turn out in Columbus for OSUs spring game? It's not the rest of the Country's fault that in the South they have nothing better to do than watch an intrasquad scrimmage in April.:up:
The SEC clearly has regained it's throne as the best conf in CFB but the ACC is getting better. it's taken some time since expansion but finally it appears to be nearing the top conferences.

You're making my point kinda....
Ole Miss played WF in the second game of the season....Jevan Snead's SECOND career start.....the SECOND game of Houston Nutts offense...
Of course Ole Miss had potential....they had top 10 potential.....WF didn't....I knew Ole Miss was going to beat TT.....I called it 2 months before anybody even knew they would end up playing each other inexcept continue to produce teams that underachieve.
Butch Davis built Miami up after probation, and he's slowly building UNC up as well.
The only coach I think that argument actually works for is the Bowden that was just at Clemson. I don't think Virginia's ever had a great deal of talent on their team, but it's a credit to Al Groh for still developing a few great players out there.
Randy Shannon and Paul Johnson haven't been at their programs long enough to judge. Given the enormous level of success Randy Shannon has had at every other thing he's ever done with his life, it's hard to imagine he's going to struggle now. The talent he's brought in is incredible, and the fact that he's already developed competing teams is a

at the NFL....
I'll tell ya this much though.....I'd take Paul Johnson over Randy Shannon 7 days a week and twice on Saturdays.....he's a better coach....
...and as Namor pointed out....don't ever bring up National Championships and Miami vs. Alabama in the same sentence like that again.....that's like comparing a canoe to an air craft carrier....
With all due respect to Bobby Bowden....because I love the guy....(he's a Bama guy too)....Joe Paterno's accomplishments are much more impressive to me...
The ACC was a VERY weak conference for a long time....I think Bowden won like 14 or 15 CONSECUTIVE conference titles.....he had absolutely no competition in the ACC for the longest....there was FSU and nobody else...
No wonder the ACC wanted to bring in the likes of BC, VT, and Miami....because the conference hadyears at a time, and it's very easy to say Paterno is better than Bowden now, because Bowden is slumping for the first time in, uh ever, and Paterno has had nominal success. I think both are very impressive coaches, but Paterno NEVER dominated the college football landscape like Bowden did in the 90s.

another SEC team.
Bowden or Miami never dominated a Big Time Conferance (ACC please)
(the Big Least) like the Bear.
Both Fla. St and Miami were offered invatations to join the SEC when
S.C. and Ark joined,but they declined because they knew their chances
for a national championship would be greatly hampered.
Bet they would like that CBS/ESPN money now.
Hell,Miami can't even fill up a stadium

An RCMP officer trains a member of the Haitian National Police. Under the RCMP's watch, the HNP would kill thousands. During the same period, Coderre lauded the RCMP's efforts.
Upon his visit to Montreal last week, prominent Haitian lawyer Mario Joseph accused Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre of lying to the Canadian people. Coderre has denied the accusations, dismissed Joseph's request for an apology, and refused to answer questions about his role in Haiti.
In a Canadian Press article which appeared in the Ottawa Citizen, Vancouver Sun, and various other newspapers across the country, Joseph was quoted as saying: "We can't discuss Canada's harmful role without explaining to you the just-as-harmful role of Mr. Denis Coderre and his lies to the Canadian people."
Joseph was referring to the fact

that in February of 2004, Coderre had told the press that Canada's position was to keep elected President Aristide in office as an armed rebellion attacked government offices and moved toward Port-au-Prince, the capital. "We think Aristide must remain in place," Coderre told journalists on February 19th.
However, the Canadian position changed dramatically on February 29, when Canadian armed forces assisted the US military in kidnapping President Aristide, flying him out of the country, at which point he was exiled for several years. Contrary to his claims on the 19th, the Canadian government had begun planning the invasion at least nine days prior to Coderre's statement.
In the months after the coup, Coderre repeatedly met with the unelected, US-appointed Prime Minister Latortue in Port-au-Prince and in Montreal. During this time,Latortue's government was undertaking killing thousands of political opponents, according to numerous human rights reports. Thousands more were imprisoned, and according to a study that appeared in the medical journal Lancet, tens of thousands of women were raped. The Haitian National Police, who carried out the assassinations and massacres, were acting under the direct oversight of agents from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. During this period, the Latortue regime enjoyed the full diplomatic, political, logistical and financial backing of the Canadian government.
Coderre's response to claims? "I have nothing to apologize for," he told the Canadian Press. He added: "I am a friend of Haiti."
According to Nydia Dauphin, Coderre even refers to himself as "Montreal's Haitian Mayor" within certain circles. Dauphin, who was honoured by Coderre and others as

a Black History Month Laureate this year, published an article at the end of January entited Don't Mistake Montreal's Mayor For a Friend of Haiti. Dauphin wrote: "Thanks to Coderre's solemn skills, gross violation of human rights have characterized the post-coup regime in Haiti since 2004, resulting in the loss of thousands of innocent lives; a tragedy that has largely gone unnoticed in Canadian media."
A day after the Canadian Press article appeared, veteran Gazette reporter Sue Montgomery followed up with a feature article entitled Secrecy shrouds Canada’s role in Aristide’s ouster from Haiti. In it, Mario Joseph is quoted as saying “Coderre should apologize because he used Canadian money to cause disorder, chaos and misery.”
But Coderre, Montgomery writes, "refused to answer questions about his role in 2004."

To that effect, it should perhaps be taken more seriously by the broader community including those critical of Libra.
That being said, there is hardly any doubt that Libra was at the focal point of the report considering that it has reportedly drawn similar allegations in the past as well, especially from countries such as France and Germany, as BeInCrypto has earlier reported.

How symbolic that he’s alone – as the entire GOP, Democrat Party, and media turn on him. But now I’m seeing a different picture, where he’s not alone. There is an army in the smoke behind him. Start from the top. The disabled vet, holding his fake VA waiting number, which he now realizes is a waiting number to get on the real waiting list. Behind him – tens of thousands more just like him – and thousands still more who died waiting – ghosts whose voices are now being heard, through us. A naval officer – relieved of dutybecause he refused to stand down when ordered. And 4 ghosts behind him, along with hundreds of pilots and seamen who were denied the chance to do their jobs. And behind them – thousands of patriotic men and women who have left a military which no longer is allowed to do its job. Behind them – millions who are waiting for a REAL president, before they’ll even think about joining. To their side – thousands of scientists, engineers and programmers – laid off of their jobs – but only after they were forced to train their replacements – overseas and as H1B imports. Next to them – millions of immigrants – most of them Hispanic – who played by the rules to come to America, only to watch

“A small anarchist republic”: French anarchists in Fitzrovia
Nick Heath's riproaring short journey through the escapades and intrigues of the French anarchist exile community in London's Fitzrovia in the late 1800's.
The area in London bounded by Oxford Street to the south, Great Portland Street to the west, Euston Road to the north, and Tottenham Court Road to the east, was dubbed the London’s Old Latin Quarter by E. Beresford Chancellor and later Fitzrovia by the Labour MP Tom Driberg. It has has a long history of radicalism with waves of French and German revolutionaries arriving after 1848 and then with the clampdown by Bismarck in Germany and the defeat of the Paris Commune. Swiss and Italian immigrants also added to the radical mix in the area. The Fitzroy Tavern,home of Augustus John and then Dylan Thomas, originally had the very Germanic title of The Hundred Marks.
Much has been written already on the Free School set up by Louise Michel and other anarchists in Fitzroy School, not to mention the Communist Club in St Stephen’s Mews and the Autonomie Club in at first Fitzroy Street and then Windmill Street. This article instead focusses on other establishments used by French anarchists in the area which were components of a vibrant network of meeting places, of foci of discussion and activity and of mutual aid and support.
At 67 Charlotte Street stands the three story building where Victor Richard, a refugee from the Paris Commune, who originally hailed from Burgundy, had his grocer shop the Bel Epicier. The anarchist Charles

Malato in his De La Commune A L’Anarchie (From the Commune to Anarchy) remembered Richard as “the most jovial, the most smiling of grocers. Yes a grocer, but he is so little that! All the refugees came there because he expressed, without sectarianism, the most crimson opinions”. Victor Richard had been a grocer in Paris when he was caught up in the events of the Paris Commune and he had fought heroically on the barricades. He was a close friend of Zéphyrin Camélinat who had also fought on the Commune barricades up to the last moment.
Victor Richard was then in his fifties. His grocer shop appears to have been a roaring success. He stocked wines from Anjou “sparkling and non-sparkling”, cornichons and mustards from his native Burgundy, andPottier, author of The Internationale, was another who dedicated one of his songs Les Affameurs (The Starvers) to the benevolent grocer. For the “generous Burgundian” was always willing to extend credit to revolutionary exiles and much of the money he made was spent on the cause in one way or another, including funds on at least one occasion for French revolutionaries hounded in Britain to enable them to leave the country. Victor Richard was also a good friend of that icon of Italian anarchism, Errico Malatesta.
Malato refers to the area as a “small anarchist republic”. His first visit to Richard’s grocery store when he was in search of Louise Michel is described thus:
"Is M. Richard here?" I asked the phlegmatic René, his trusted assistant.
René examined me with a

the police in 1894, a list of phrases useful to French exiles in London were discovered. This may refer to Malato’s little work, The Pleasantries of Exile, where in addition to ferry time-tables between England and France, a number of helpful phrases are included. Here are some of them.
With the attentats of Vaillant, Ravachol and Emile Henry in France, surveillance from the French state on the exiles in London increased. The afore-mentioned Inspector Prosper-Isidore Houillier of the Sûreté, with his assistant Fedeé secretly arrived arrived in London, with the connivance of Inspector Melville of Special Branch. “Le vil Melville“ (the vile Melville) as he was known to the exiles was a sworn enemy of anarchism and he was once again breaking the rules in allowing the French copsto operate in London. Houillier seems to have spent a lot of his time eating at the best London restaurants, apparently all at the French public’s expense. On the track of the anarchist Meunier, the cops were given a tip-off that he was holed up at 30 Charlotte Street. On arriving there they were surrounded by a large crowd of anarchists, and serenaded with revolutionary songs accompanied by the barrel-organ played by the colourful anarchist Zo d’Axa. Uniformed police had to be sent in to get the cops out of the sticky situation.
On another occasion Houillier and his SB pals followed removals vans around London that they had mistakenly linked to anarchist fugitives. On yet another occasion Houillier tried to pass himself off as an anarchist but was

| 39,916,218 |
recognised by the comrades, who decided to lead him a merry dance. He was in search of the anarchist Mathieu, suspected of the crimes later accredited to Ravachol and Meunier. Day after day they promised that Houillier would meet Mathieu, day after day there was always an excuse, and day after day Houillier treated the comrades to food and drink, to the value of sixty francs a day.
Finally, Houillier was lured to a pub on Great Portland Street full of French anarchists. Asking once more for Mathieu, he was told that he couldn’t come because he was getting his hair cut. The penny now dropped and Houillier became conscious of the crowd in the pub all staring at him. Some had taken out large clubs which they werethe train to Folkestone, he was welcomed by a large crowd of anarchists, who helped him with his luggage and accompanied him to his compartment. There they lavished him with advice that he could have expected from his mother, warning him against cold draughts and other hazards of the journey. M.. implored him: “At least promise us that you will write to us”! As the train set off, the anarchists following it along the platform waving their hats and handkerchiefs and crying out “Vive Houillier!”.
Another centre of the anarchist community in Fitzrovia was the book and newspaper shop run by the anarchist Armand Lapie at 30 Goodge Street. Armand Denis Célestin Lapie, to give him his full name, was born at Saint Ermes on 26th April 1865. His

father was the Blanquist Alcindor Lapie, who had blown himself up in his bomb factory during the siege of Paris by the Prussians in 1870. The director of the anarchist paper Père Peinard, he fled to London after being sentenced in 1892. His shop became the main meeting point of French anarchists in the capital including Ernest Delebeque, François Duprat, Jules Corti and Pétronille Altérant.
Alexandre Cohen, the Dutch Francophile and erstwhile anarchist has left this account of Lapie’s shop in his book Van anarchist tot monarchist (From Anarchist to Monarchist) where every evening at 5pm many French anarchists headed to Lapie’s shop where he was returning from the depot with a heavy burden of French, Italian and Spanish newspapers. Putting them down with a “Han!” of relief “heLapie of being an informer at the end of 1895 and his group put up a series of posters around the area publishing these accusations. As a result of these accusations, Lapie was eventually forced to leave London for Switzerland where he remained active as an anarchist. There were suspicions among the “associationists” that Parmegianni was himself a provocateur (never corroborated from Italian police records) and it was certainly the behaviour of him and his associates that decided Malatesta and others that any work was in the future impossible with the anti-organisationalists. Parmeggiani dropped anarchism completely at the end of the 1890s, though he remained involved in illegal activity, like faking expensive antiques and acting as an international receiver of stolen antiques.
The above-mentioned Ernest Delebecque lived at 28-30

Fitzroy Street with his wife and six children. Originally from Lille, he had had to flee France in the 1890s. He worked as a cabinet-maker and rented rooms to incoming French comrades. There was a regular weekly meeting on Sundays at his place, attended by Emile Pouget, Lapie, François Duprat, Clovis Sicard , as well as the Italians Malatesta and Santo Magrini.
The Delebecques were hounded by Melville and his gang on suspicion of having harboured Meunier. Zo D’Axa believed that this harassment led to the death of the five-month old daughter:
And for Delbecque and his female companion, there was a long series of persecutions of all sorts. The man was continually shadowed by police agents … and risked losing every job. The woman, who nursed a five-month-old kidThere was a Blue Moon by this definition on November 21, 2010, another on August 20-21, 2013, another on May 21, 2016, and another on May 18, 2019. The next will be on August 22, 2021.
The best-known and most popular definition of Blue Moon is that it describes the second full moon of a calendar month. By this definition, there was a Blue Moon on July 31, 2015, January 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018. The next one will be October 31, 2020.
The time between one full moon and the next is close to the length of a calendar month. So the only time one month can have two full moons is when the first full moon happens in the first few days of the month. This happens

every two to three years, so these sorts of Blue Moons come about that often.
Very rarely, a seasonal Blue Moon (third of four full moons in one season) and a monthly Blue Moon (second of two full moons in one calendar month) can occur in the same calendar year. For this to happen, you need 13 full moons between successive December solstices for a seasonal Blue Moon – and, generally, 13 full moons in one calendar year for a monthly Blue Moon.
This will next happen in the year 2048, when a monthly Blue Moon falls on January 31, and a seasonal Blue Moon on August 23.
Then 19 years later, in the year 2067, there will be a monthly Blue Moon on March 30, and a seasonal Blue Moonon November 20. In this instance, there are 13 full moons between successive December solstices – but only 12 full moons in one calendar year and no February 2067 full moon.
The idea of a Blue Moon as the second full moon in a month stemmed from the March 1946 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine, which contained an article called Once in a Blue Moon by James Hugh Pruett. Pruett was referring to the 1937 Maine Farmer’s Almanac, but he inadvertently simplified the definition. He wrote:
Seven times in 19 years there were – and still are – 13 full moons in a year. This gives 11 months with one full moon each and one with two. This second in a month, so I interpret it, was called Blue

Moon.
Had James Hugh Pruett looked at the actual date of the 1937 Blue Moon, he would have found that it had occurred August 21, 1937. Also, there were only 12 full moons in 1937. You generally need 13 full moons in one calendar year to have two full moons in one calendar month.
However, that fortuitous oversight gave birth to a new and perfectly understandable definition for Blue Moon.
EarthSky’s Deborah Byrd happened upon a copy of this old 1946 issue of Sky and Telescope in the stacks of the Peridier Library at the University of Texas Astronomy Department in the late 1970s. Afterward, she began using the term Blue Moon to describe the second full moon in a calendar month on the radio. Later, this definition of Blue Moonsaid it appeared that the Defendant
had been traveling south on Hog Creek Road, “and it looked like he just veered off the road
into trees, knocking over one and causing one or two more to fall over also.” According to
Trooper Long, the accident occurred around 12:36 a.m.
The activities at the scene were video-recorded by the camera in Trooper Long’s
vehicle, and the audio was recorded by a “mic clip” on Trooper Long’s tie. The tape was
played for the jury, and Trooper Long narrated the events.
Trooper Long proceeded to the Defendant’s vehicle to get the vehicle identification
number and tag information for the accident report. When he got to the vehicle, the door was

After the Defendant was arrested, he was placed in the back of Trooper Long’s patrol
car and transported to the Wayne County Jail. Trooper Long testified that he presented the
Defendant with the implied consent form and read from it verbatim, including the portion
stating the consequences of refusing to submit to the test. The Defendant refused to take the
test and signed the form accordingly.
On cross-examination, defense counsel again reviewed the videotape with Trooper
Long. Trooper Long agreed that he did not see the Defendant driving the vehicle, as “it was

openly gay clergy, they say, will alienate conservative Episcopalians and Anglicans in Africa and Latin America, but failing to support gay rights will cause a split within the mostly liberal Episcopal Church.
Rev. David Williams is the rector at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Ansonborough and described the decision to appoint a gay bishop as a 'prophetic' step that was not consecrated in a vacuum.
'We spoke for ourselves,' he said of the denomination's 2003 vote to elevate the Rev. Gene Robinson to Bishop of New Hampshire. 'The church has no business monkeying around in people's bedrooms and private relationships.'
Upcoming convention resolutions reflect the denomination's split over gay rights and the interpretation of Scripture.
One (Resolution A095) calls for the church to oppose any laws banning same-sex marriage, while another (A160)the denomination goes back to when debates over Darwin and creationism first started to heat up in the mid-1920s. Clergy in the Episcopal Church were becoming more progressive in their approach and scholarship, while the laity remained conservative. Both pastors and laypeople left the church as a result. Others attended conservative seminaries and tried to counter the rise of liberalism from within.
In the years since then, the tension within the denomination has been palpable but manageable. The elevation of Robinson changed that. Part of the reason is because pastors such as the Rev. Greg Snyder see no room for compromise when it comes to interpreting what Scripture says about homosexuality.

The West's insolence on Iran and its nuclear programme is unparalleled: it is not illegal for a country to develop nuclear energy for peaceful means, reducing reliance upon oil and anyway, where is the discussion about Israel's nuclear arsenal?

Curtin public criticism of officials
Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has been fined an undisclosed amount by MLS Commissioner Don Garber forthe preliminary hearing on August 10, 1973. The information was filed in Superior Court on August 16, 1973, and the arraignment held five days later, at which time the defendant waived his right to a speedy trial and a trial date of October 15, 1973, was set. That date and subsequent settings of November 1, and November 14 were vacated, the trial eventually commencing on November 15, 1973. The record is silent as to the cause of these delays.
On November 8, 1973, the defendant notified the public defender that he was discharged because of an alleged lack of interest in the case. This message was orally confirmed by defendant's retained counsel, Henry Florence, on November 14. Mr. Florence's motion later that day for substitution of counsel and a

Beatles The Worst Musicians In The World Claims Quincy Jones
(Radio.com) Michael Jackson Thriller producer Quincy Jones gave an epic interview to GQ recently packed with captivating tales and pointed jabs from his storied life and career.
Now, Jones has spoken to Vuture for another wide-ranging and jaw-dropping conversation, and this time he has none less than The Beatles in his sights. "That they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing m———–s," Jones said when asked of his first impressions of the Fab Four. "Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don't even talk about it."
Jones goes on to detail a recording session for Ringo Starr's 1970 solo debut, Sentimental Journey, and working on the song,"Love is a Many Spendoured Thing." According todetails are expected after the vessel arrives in Europe in mid-September, company sources revealed.
It remains to be seen what this voyage means in terms of further developing shipping on the Arctic route and if container shipping can become viable on this hitherto niche trade route.

then required to compile all agency requests and submit them as part of the “Book of Estimates”
no later than the first day of November.1011 While these acts required the Secretary to transmit all
agency requests as a single package, each request was developed independently.1112 Involvement
and direction by the President were minimal, and there was little if any coordination amongstamong
agencies.1213

Structure and Components of Recent Budget
Submissions
The structure and format of the President’s budget have varied by President, but in recent years,
the President’s budget has been submitted in multiple volumes. The size and composition of these
budget volumes have varied from administration to administration.
The budget submissions of the past three Presidents have each included the following volumes:
Budget of the U.S. Government, Historical Tables, Analytical Perspectives, and Appendix. In
addition, recent submissions have been accompanied by supplemental materials and supporting
documents that are typically made available only in electronic form.26
•
Budget of theshort budget message, addressed to Congress, which
summarizes the President’s policy priorities. In addition, this volume includes
detailed narrative descriptions of proposed government activities for each
executive department and selected independent agencies. This volume also
includes summary tables of budgetary aggregates and estimates of the effects of
the President’s proposals on the deficit, among others. The summary tables
typically provide information for each of the fiscal years covered by the
President’s budget.
•
Historical Tables. The Historical Tables volume provides a historical overview
of federal government finances, including time series statistics on budget
authority,2728 government receipts, outlays, government employment, economic
statistics, and the federal debt going back several decades and in some cases as
far back as 1789.2829 Generally, the tables provide data through the fiscal year
covered by the President’s budget. According to OMB, to the extent possible, the

authorities to transfer funds from one account to another.3839
•
Supplemental Materials. Additionally, Presidents’ budget submissions have often
included supplemental materials, such as legislative proposals for budget process
reform, a brief guide to the budget that is intended for members of the public, or
a summary of proposed spending reductions or program consolidations. Finally,
unforeseen circumstances may require the President to modify the
recommendations or other information contained in the President’s budget
submission to Congress. Under Title 31 of the U.S. Code, the President may
revise the budget recommendations or submit supplemental budget requests to
Congress at any time during the year.39 When the President makes new budget
recommendations for the current fiscal year, the changes are referred to as

U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Analytical Perspectives, Budget of the United States1950 changed the
deadline to the 15th day of each regular session of Congress.4142 The Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 included two changes to the deadline for submission.4243
The first established a deadline of February 5, 1986, for FY1987. The second changed the
deadline to the first Monday after January 3 beginning with FY1988. Finally, the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990 extended the deadline to the first Monday in February of each year.4344
The 1990 change to the deadline for submission, which first applied to FY1992, made it possible
for an outgoing President, whose term ends on January 20, to leave the annual budget submission
to his or her successor. The three outgoing Presidents since the FY1992 change—George H. W.
Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush—exercised this option. Accordingly, the budget
was

submitted in 1993, 2001, and 2009 by the three incoming Presidents (William J. Clinton for
FY1994, George W. Bush for FY2002, and Barack Obama for FY2010). In each of these three
cases, the first budget submission of the incoming President was submitted after the statutory
deadline.4445
Under current law, the President is required to submit the annual budget on or after the first
Monday in January, but no later than the first Monday in February.4546 Prior to the official
transmittal of his budget to Congress, the President typically presents the major budget proposals
in the annual State of the Union address, usually in late January.
Table 1 provides a list of the deadlines for submission, the first fiscal year to which each deadline
applied, and the statutory source for each deadline.

The President is also required to submitearly, between 1 and 13 days before the deadline.
Delayed Submission of the President’s Budget
The President’s budget has been submitted after the statutory deadline on 1718 occasions. In 6 of
these 1718 occasions, Congress extended the deadline by statute.4647 On average, the deadline was
extended by 13 days. In all but one of these occasions, the President’s budget was submitted by
the extended deadline. In the 1213 instances when the budget was submitted after the original or
extended deadline, it was delayed, on average, 3433.54 days.
The President’s budget submission was delayed more than 30 days after the deadline on six
occasions: FY1989, FY1994, FY1997, FY2002, FY2010, and FY2014. The delays for FY1994,
FY2002, and FY2010 occurred in presidential transition years. In those three instances, the
budget submission was due fewer than three weeks after the start

President Clinton transmitted a message to Congress, along with a thematic overview of his
FY1997 budget, which stated that the budget would be delayedbecause of “uncertainty over 1996
appropriations as well as possible changes in mandatory programs and tax policy.”4849 President
Obama submitted the FY2014 budget on April 10, 2013, a total of 65 days after the deadline. The
Acting Director of OMB attributed the delay to ongoing negotiations over fiscal issues, including
enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) on January 2, 2013, and the continued
uncertainty resulting from the impending sequestration.4950

This study was carried out to examine ecological correlations between arsenic level of well water and mortality from various malignant neoplasms in 314 precincts and townships of Taiwan. The arsenic content in water of 83,656 wells was determined by a standard mercuric bromide stain method from 1974 to 1976, while mortality rates of 21 malignant neoplasms among residents in study precincts and townships from 1972 to 1983 were standardized to the world population in 1976.

It's been over a year since Duane Ludwig left his post as head coach of Team Alpha Male, and frankly, Chad Mendes is sick of hearing about it.
Ludwig, who continues to coach UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw, ignited a minor furor in July when he said that Dillashaw was the only one on the Sacramento-based squad "who actually wants to be champion." Ludwig ultimately apologized for his comments, but still reiterated that there was something different about Dillashaw from the rest of Team Alpha Male, and the only thing separating Mendes from his dreams of gold is three simple points to his game that Ludwig could fix.
"I don't know what the hell Duane is talking about," Mendes said Tuesday on The MMA Hour. "I'm tired of hearing aboutin late 2012 and received widespread acclaim for his work with the squad, even winning Coach of the Year honors at the 2013 World MMA Awards. The team experienced a memorable run of success under his leadership, one which culminated in its first ever UFC championship when Dillashaw upset Renan Barao to claim the bantamweight title.
Tensions between Ludwig and team leader Urijah Faber eventually led to Ludwig's departure in mid-2014, and while he left on largely good terms with a majority of the team, that relationship has taken a hit over the past few months.
"When he got the offer, he basically said it's like coming to a garage full of Ferraris and Lamborghinis," Mendes said. "He's going to fine tune some things and those cars are going to

"I stay in a hotel in Palo Alto and walk around to the office each morning, slowly adjusting to the fact that I am supposed to smile and greet fellow pedestrians and joggers," she writes. "The tree-lined streets are perfumed with flowers and weirdly quiet.

For the millions of sufferers who can't keep their eyes from watering or their throat from itching, this spring feels like the worst allergy season ever – and, according to allergists in Canada and the United States, that's not far from the truth.
Through a combination of circumstances – a snowy winter, a delayed spring – North Americans are being deluged with pollen.
Normally, allergens are released at different times. Oak, birch and other tree types are the first to release their pollen. They're followed by seasonal trees such as ash and poplar, before grass releases its pollen in June to early August.
Story continues below advertisement
This spring, the timing is off by two to three weeks due to a lingering winter which, in turn, has led to an amalgamation ofpollens. Clifford Bassett, the medical director of Allergy & Asthma Care of New York, described how the pollen from early and mid-spring trees mixed with the grass pollen in "a triple whammy … to create misery and suffering."
Surveys, including one conducted in 2010 for the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson, have shown that more than eight million Canadians have an allergy with symptoms of one kind or another – coughing, constant sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose. These are caused by the body's immune system, which releases the chemical histamine to respond to incoming particles of dust and pollen. Research says we inhale several hundred grains of pollen with each breath.

which now includes a north and south toll lane — to end before operating the route. The toll lanes opened in October after years of delays.
Lee said the new route will provide much-needed relief to Round Rock drivers.
"Riding the bus prevents wear and tear on tires, helps with air pollution and gives them a chance to catch up with a friend, take a nap or do some work on the way," she said.
The express route follows Cap Metro beginning service in Round Rock in late August. According to the agency’s online reports, there were 2,193 boardings during the first nine days.
While other Cap Metro routes provide service throughout Round Rock, Route 980 is the first to transport riders to Austin.
The first three local routes include Route 50, whichtravels between Austin Community College’s Round Rock Campus and Howard Station, and includes stops at the Round Rock Outlet Mall, H-E-B Plus on University Boulevard, the Sunrise corridor, downtown Round Rock, the Round Rock Transit Center and La Frontera.
Route 51 travels between St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center and Dell’s Round Rock Campus with stops at Round Rock High School, Success High School and downtown.
Route 52 travels from Tech Ridge Park and Ride to Round Rock Transit Center with limited stops that include the Art Institute of Austin and several employment centers.

Monsignor Carlo Alberto Capella, who served the Vatican in US and Canada, faces 12 years in prison if convicted
This article is more than 2 years old
This article is more than 2 years old
The Vatican said on Saturday its police had arrested one of its Washington diplomats who is suspected of possessing images of child sexual abuse in the US and Canada.
A statement identified the accused as Monsignor Carlo Alberto Capella and said he was arrested on Saturday in the Vatican after a warrant was issued by the Holy See’s chief magistrate at the end of an investigation.
The Vatican statement said Capella, who was recalled from the Vatican embassy in Washington last August, was arrested according to articles of a 2013 law signed by the pope. The articles citedby the statement related to images of child sexual abuse.
If indicted, the monsignor will have to stand trial in the Vatican and faces up to 12 years in jail.
The US state department notified the Holy See in August of a possible violation of laws relating to child abuse images by a member of the diplomatic corps of the Holy See accredited to Washington, the Vatican said in September.
A spokesman said in September that the US had requested that the man’s diplomatic immunity be waived but the Vatican refused.
Capella entered the diplomatic corps in 2004 and before serving in Washington he held diplomatic posts in Hong Kong and Italy.
After he was recalled to Rome, police in Windsor, Canada said they had issued an arrest warrant for him on suspicion

Capella’s case the worst involving a diplomat since 2013 when former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski
faced charges of paying boys for sexual acts, downloading and buying paedophile material while he was the Vatican’s ambassador in the Dominican Republic.
He was recalled to Rome by the Vatican, arrested, and stripped of his duties after an investigation by Dominican magistrates.

The aortic repair commenced after the cesarean section. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated normal biventricular function, a tricuspid aortic valve with mild insufficiency, and sinus of Valsalva diameter of 38 mm. The femoral vessels were deemed unsuitable for arterial cannulation due to size and possible involvement of the dissection. Therefore, central aortic cannulation was utilized. Direct cannulation of the ascending aorta along the lesser curve was accomplished using a Seldinger technique, with TEE confirmation of the guidewire within the true lumen. A dual-stage venous cannula was introduced into the right atrium via the atrial appendage and CPB was established. A retrograde cardioplegia catheter and a superior vena cava (SVC) cannula

for retrograde cerebral perfusion were placed. With systemic temperature of 18°C, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was initiated. Retrograde cerebral perfusion via the SVC cannula was established at 10 mL/kg/min. Upon direct inspection of the aorta, the intimal tear was noted to be at the sinotubular junction (STJ), with slight extension into the noncoronary sinus. The sinuses were not significantly dilated and the aortic valve demonstrated normal leaflet coaptation. The repair was performed with replacement of the ascending aorta and hemiarch from the STJ, with resuspension of aortic valve commissures. A 28-mm Gelweave graft (Vascutek Ltd, Scotland, UK) was used for the repair. Total circulatory arrest time was 30 minutes. Following repair, intraoperative TEE revealed a normal aortic valve and biventricular function. The hysterotomy was again inspected and appeared hemostatic. TheProjected Workforce of Psychiatrists in the United States: A Population Analysis.
This analysis quantified and assessed the projected workforce of psychiatrists in the United States through 2050 on the basis of population data. With use of data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (2000-2015), American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (2000-2015), and U.S. Census Bureau (2000-2050), the psychiatrist workforce was projected through 2050. Two established psychiatrist-to-population ratios were used to determine the estimated demand for psychiatrists and potential shortages. The psychiatrist workforce will contract through 2024 to a projected low of 38,821, which is equal to a shortage of between 14,280 and 31,091 psychiatrists, depending on the psychiatrist-to-population ratio used. A slow expansion will begin in 2025. By 2050, the workforce of psychiatrists will range from a shortage

All of which are listed below, should you fancy a peruse. There's obviously some real gems in there, and it's highly likely you'll find something to your tastes in a roster that now includes a serious number of real-life, thoroughbred racing cars.
Forza Motorsport 6 comes out on September 18 in the UK, and Turn 10 announced that it's just gone gold. The latest instalment marks the 10th anniversary of the series, and introduces night racing and wet weather for the first time in Forza's history.

her plans for the day, for the most part it was going to be an average day but the main thing that stuck out was that she had a date with Bino today. That was definitely something she was looking forward to. With Bino always being busy with club affairs she never really got to hang out with him, let along go out on a date.
The date itself wasn’t planned until later in the evening so Sasha still had the whole day to figure out something to do until it was time. Her dad was already out for the day so she opted for a small breakfast before heading outside; it was definitely a nice day out so why spend it indoors? Steeping outside there was a nicethat he loved, it was the perfect environment for him to just sit down in and enjoy a nice book. As he thought about it that actually didn’t seem like a bad idea, he did have that book to finish he started the other day. He didn’t want to admit it to anyone but his favorite books to read were actually romance novels. He had no way to explain it but he always found himself so wrapped up in one of them, and he loved it. His excitement only grew as he entered his house; thinking about it only psyched him up to get back to his book. As he entered his room his attention was drawn to a small box sitting on his bed, “what’s this?” Inspecting

“I hate mornings…” The brown dog known as Bino reluctantly got out of bed as the first rays of sun streamed in from the window. The dog had spent most of the previous night getting all his notes together for the upcoming meeting his club would be having later that day, the notes still scattered all over his desk were the only evidence of his late nights endeavors. He would have liked nothing more than to just climb back into bed and sleep some more, but he had to prepare for the meeting to unfortunately that was out of the question. Soon after his morningwas loud enough that anyone still in the club was intently watching the two waiting to see who would throw the first punch. King was about to pounce first but Fox caught him and stepped in-between the two, “can you two ever get along? Seriously guys this is getting ridiculous!” As he looked to Sasha it was apparent she was still slightly confused as to what exactly was going on, “Sasha you should probably go home, these two obviously need to sort something out by themselves." Glaring at the two he turned and walked Sasha out.
As he led her home Sasha was abnormally quiet as she thought over what just happened, he train of thought was only derailed as Fox started talking, “you know they were fighting over

district, since around 2000. Earlier, the naxalite activities were confined to districts such as Malkangiri, which share its borders with the neighboring states. With time, the naxal activities has spread to Koraput as well as other districts like Rayagada or Nabarangpur. The inaccessible hilly terrain, dense forests, lack of development, grievances of the tribals and poor, and the absence of administration have been conducive to the spread of left-wing extremism in Odisha. The seriousness of the problem was underlined by a co-ordinated Naxalite attack on the District Headquarters and armoury at Koraput on February 6, 2004.
Naxal group, namely People's War Group (PWG), has carried out numerous operations (attacks on rich farmers, police, bureaucrats and politicians, loots from godowns) within last few years in Koraput as well as inGOVERNMENT
Mayor de Blasio signs the cultural plan bill into law (photo: @JimmyVanBramer)
New York may be the considered the country's cultural capital, but the city has never had a comprehensive plan to outline its immense cultural assets, identify areas of need, and chart a path forward. A new law, passed by the City Council and signed on Monday by Mayor Bill de Blasio, will change that.
Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, one of the bill's co-sponsors and chair of the Council's cultural affairs committee, laid out the plan's importance when introducing the bill. "Culture is the lifeblood of our city," he said to his City Council colleagues. "It inspires us, it teaches us, it engages us, it binds us - particularly in times like these. It drives our economy, but

world here. And then we make this amazing, amazing mosaic of what it means to be New York."
The bill quickly earned the favor of the mayor as its thrust fits nicely with his push toward greater equity and opportunity across the city's five boroughs.
Dr. Marta Moreno Vega, president of Manhattan's Caribbean Cultural Center, teaches a class at NYU called "Cultural Governance: The Process of Creating a Cultural Plan for New York City," with a focus on engaging local communities in the process. She stresses that maintaining diversity is essential to a city's character.
"How can you expect a city to thrive if you don't have the mix that you should have at all levels of the economic spectrum?" she asked rhetorically.
Vega said that one way to maintain this diversityis by funding smaller, community-based cultural groups. Currently, a handful of large institutions receive the majority of city funding. Yet programs run by local groups can often have a more direct effect on residents than a big museum might.
"It's not based on going some place. It's based on the quality of life that you live on a daily basis," she said.
ARTs East New York takes a local approach. The group provides arts education to children as young as three through their Young Artist Institute, helps revitalize the Brooklyn neighborhood with murals, holds free performance events, and encourages economic development with projects such as the recently opened [re]New Lots Market and Artist Incubator.
The group's founder, Catherine Green, said she hopes the new cultural plan will open up more funding

opportunities for smaller organizations.
"We've been doing a lot with very little for a very long time," she said. "We just really want a playing field where we'll be able to compete for a fair amount of dollars."
Money is also a big factor when it comes to local artists being able to afford housing and studio space. In Mayor de Blasio's recently unveiled OneNYC plan, the city committed to building 1,500 units of "affordable live/work spaces" and 500 "below-market workspaces" for artists by 2024.
Paul Parkhill, executive director of Spaceworks, said this affordability issue is an ever-growing one as New York's cost of living continues to rise. His group is a non-profit that helps provide affordable workspace for artists in Long Island City and Gowanus, with plans to expand towill work with a specially formed "citizens' advisory committee" - made up of 12 members appointed by the mayor, city council speaker, DCLA commissioner, and borough presidents - to gather information and make recommendations.
While this plan aims to develop a more long-term strategy, cultural equity has already been on the de Blasio administration's agenda. The new IDNYC municipal identification card has been popular and comes with a year's free membership to dozens of cultural institutions, and $23 million was added to the art education budget for public schools last year after an audit by Comptroller Scott Stringer showed major disparities. Van Bramer thanked the mayor for these added funds at Monday's bill-signing.
DCLA is also in the process of studying diversity among board members, staffs, and visitors at the

city's major cultural institutions.
Mayor de Blasio and DCLA Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl are excited about the cultural plan, as they both highlighted when de Blasio signed the bill into law.
In a statement Monday, de Blasio put the new law into context. "There's no doubt New York City is a cultural center of the world, and the arts are essential to our economy, our schools, and our vibrancy as a city," de Blasio said. "We are committed to ensuring all New Yorkers have access to cultural activities, and this comprehensive plan will help unify our initiatives aimed at lifting up all New Yorkers through arts and culture."
Once all of the initial information has been gathered, the official plan must be completed by July 2017, just over two years from now.society that allows its richness to flourish?"

Film Review: “The Past”
Feb 17th 2014
The last film directed by Iranian writer-director Ashgar Farhadi was called A Separation, a masterful movie that justifiably won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2012. That title would also be appropriate for his latest film, The Past, set in Paris. A sense of separation slices through every scene in this quiet, revealing domestic drama.
It’s the sort of movie where the first scene forecasts the tone to come: In an airport, a Parisian woman, Marie (Berenice Bejo), is trying to get the attention of her ex-husband Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa), whose plane has just arrived. But a slab of soundproof glass divides them; her calls and gestures fall on deaf ears. Eventually he finds his way to her, but this opening could

Monday Night Football Recap: The Stuff I Believe
I am one of those fans who looks at the NFL schedule as soon as it comes out and checks the Monday night games to see how many times my team — The Redskins — will be playing. It's a holdover from the days when Monday Night Football was a network entertainment investment, a real event. I guess I still live under the illusion that game selection for Monday night means something, like it's some vote of competitive confidence from the cognoscenti in the commissioner's office. This year, I actually thought that it was respectable that the Redskins got one game on Monday, since no one expected much. The tools at Sports illustrated projected them to win two games. With aISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani Taliban has suffered its second major split in three months, with militant leaders this week confirming the emergence of a hard-line splinter group inspired by the success of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The new group, known as Jamaat-e-Ahrar, is composed of disaffected Taliban factions from four of the seven tribal districts along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, according to a video released by the group. Counterterrorism experts said the group was effectively controlled by Omar Khalid Khorasani, an ambitious Taliban commander with strong ties to Al Qaeda.
Mr. Khorasani’s faction, which is based in the Mohmand tribal agency near Peshawar, had emerged as one of the most active Taliban elements this year. It is believed to have carried out a bombing in Islamabad

well. While those decedents might have consumed each drug separately, investigators in New York City reported laboratory confirmation that fentanyl-laced cocaine has been found in circulation. In Cuyahoga County, OH, the chief medical examiner has alleged that drug retailers are targeting African-American drug users in the Cleveland area by adding fentanyl to cocaine, which is more popular than heroin among black residents. Indeed, in nearby Allegheny County, around 30% of decedents from fentanyl-cocaine combinations, without heroin, are black, similar to the proportion of decedents from cocaine-only overdoses. In contrast, the number of black victims from all other substance combinations is roughly proportional to the county’s black population, around 12%.

fair, he adds that Morsi, “When he told Mr Obama how angry he was over the YouTube film, did he not realise that he was rebuking the wrong target? Mr Obama had already made clear his revulsion over the video. No one has seriously suggested that the US government had anything to do with this absurd production. The President of the United States cannot be held responsible for the thoughts, opinions and actions of 300 million Americans. Nor, in a free society, can he ban his citizens from expressing themselves, even if they sometimes do so in crass and offensive ways”.

Contrary to mainstream-media reports, the new president is already taking a tougher stance on Iran and a friendlier stance toward Israel than his predecessor.
By the end of his second week in office, President Donald Trump has discovered it is actually possible for him to do something that garners applause from the mainstream media. Though Democrats seem more interested in futile gestures of “resistance” to his government than in normal opposition, all Trump had to do to gain a modicum of respect from the New York Times and other denizens of the liberal echo chamber was to preserve rather than reject the policies of his predecessor.

Pam and Curtis brought Stacy to Jamaica because they didn’t know what else to do with her. They believed that her old-time granny would straighten her out. In Brooklyn, Stacy cut her classes often, and she was caught giving a boy a blowjob in an empty classroom. They looked at the sweet little face on the body of a woman, and they were terrified of her and for her. It seemed that her breasts and ass were getting bigger every day. Often Pam would pull down Stacy’s shirt to give her ass better coverage, and Stacy would groan and laugh, tucking her shirt back into her jeans. Pam wondered aloud to Curtis whether Stacy’s curvy body was because of all the chicken

wings she enjoyed eating from the Chinese food restaurant. In America, Pam argued, chickens were injected with hormones, which could explain all the little black girls with breasts and asses before their time. Stacy refused to eat breakfast because she was never hungry in the mornings, and because the school lunch was “nasty,” she was ravenous by the end of the school day. She would come home with a take-out box: fried rice with pork and fried chicken wings. She ate while she did her homework—somehow, in the midst of teenage angst and man hunger, she remained a diligent student—and later she would refuse to eat dinner with her parents and little brother because she was still full. Recently, Curtis was driving on Rockaway Avenue when he sawStacy walk out of the train station, just come from school. A man, not a boy, but a man in baggy jeans, just any old street thug, had called to his daughter, and she had actually turned around and walked back to him. They were still talking when Curtis showed up to escort Stacy home. Pam and Curtis were afraid of their fourteen-year-old daughter. Often they would tell each other that this was what America did to children. This blasted country that turned parents into children and children into parents! One need not look any further than the white people on television who asked their children what they wanted to eat for dinner. In Jamaica, children knew to respect adults, while it wasn’t unusual to hear an American

piercing her parents didn’t know she had. When a dreadlocked man saw her sitting on the beach by herself, he invited her to follow him to his house. She had looked into the man’s face and hissed her teeth without fear as though he and she were size. Every day, Stacy climbed the mango tree behind her grandma’s house and then she ate several mangoes in one sitting. In the afternoons, she walked down to the shop to buy banana chips, even though she had five unopened packages sitting on the dresser, because she liked that the boy at the counter flirted with her and looked openly at her breasts.
On the fifth day, while Stacy slept, her parents and little brother left. A few hours later, her grandmother,she was lonely living in that house by herself, she’d gladly welcomed her. Stacy ran to the front of the house and looked down the road to see if they had only recently left. She knew this couldn’t be the case, but she looked anyway. Then she went to the back of the house, behind the old pit toilet, so that she could cry without anyone seeing her. She bawled for a long time. She punched her fist into the walls of the long-retired pit toilet, but the pain only made her cry harder. She felt someone watching, and when she looked down, Fatty, her grandmother’s mongrel dog, was looking up at her. When she bent to rub Fatty’s belly, since it was heavy with puppies, the dog

reached up to lick the tears from her face.
Over the first two weeks after her parents left, Stacy’s spirit softened. She was quieter, more inward. When she spoke to her parents on the phone, she promised that she would behave herself. But Curtis and Pam weren’t ready to let Stacy back into their home. There were times they missed her—she was, after all, a sweet girl when she wanted to be, and she was the first born, which meant they loved her in a different—not necessarily better—way than they loved their son, Curtis Jr., a chubby ten-year-old who was an easy child. They told her that after a year, if she improved, she could come home.
Eventually, Trudy brought up Stacy’s bad behavior back in New York: “Yuh suchah pretty girl fi do some ugly tings. Why yuh won’ be’ave yuhself?” And Stacy had smiled and looked embarrassed because she was shy for her grandmother to know certain things about her, and yet it was a compliment to hear that she was pretty. She’d been afraid when she put her mouth on the boy’s penis. Patrick was one of the most desired boys in school, and of all the other girls, he had dragged Stacy into an empty classroom, putting her hand down his pants so that she could touch his penis. This happened a few times, them kissing in empty classrooms, and one day he pushed his fingers down her jeans, and eventually she climaxed, and it was surprising and gratifying because she had never

as good as her grandmother’s, to make a nice chicken foot soup, and to bake sweet potato pudding. In New York, Pam had done all the cooking. When Stacy started at the all-girls high school, she learned to wash her uniform by hand even though Trudy had a washing machine because her grandmother claimed that it was the only way to ensure that a white shirt was really clean. She was distracted from boys because the relationships with her classmates were so intricate and consuming, all of them interested in befriending the foreign girl.
The mother Trudy had been was another woman. When Pam was sixteen, Trudy, acting on a tip from a neighbor, had found a love letter in one of her daughter’s schoolbooks and had punched her,even slapped her face. It wasn’t until Pam had become a woman with a husband and children that she could almost forgive her mother. Not all mothers could afford to be kind. When Pam had first come to America, she cleaned for a white family, and one afternoon, standing at her employer’s bedroom door, she overheard the woman and her teenage daughter debate the daughter’s decision to lose her virginity to her boyfriend. Pam marveled that this was a thing that could happen. She had vowed to become a better mother than Trudy. But then, without realizing until it was too late, without knowing why or how, she had failed her daughter. She had had to send her daughter to her mother, and she hoped that the old

Flow-back water is a waste water stream that flows out of the well after the hydraulic fracturing process is completed. Production water is a salty waste water stream that flows out of the well in conjunction with the oil and or natural gas that the well is producing. Flow-back and production water commonly contain propant sand (sand that is used to hold production reservoir fractures open for oil and gas flow, after the hydraulic fracturing pressure is released), completion chemical and oil mixtures that form semi-solid gels, hydrocarbons, and production reservoir formation solids. Normally, flow-back and production waste water is transported, by truck, from the well to a disposal

site or recycling center. At disposal sites, trucks will offload the water by pumping it through a filter, for example a bag filter, followed by a series of separate settling tanks. Once most of the solids and hydrocarbons are removed the waste water is filtered again and pumped into a deep disposal injection well. Waste water recycling centers use the same type of pre-treatment systems to filter and settle hydrocarbon liquids, solids, and semi-solids.
In a typical disposal operation, bag filtration is used for the filtering system. The bag filtration removes solid and semi-solid contaminants that are suspended in the water pumped from the trucks. The bag filtration system is typically located downstream from where the trucks offload and discharge their fluid cargo and upstream from a series ofThe life stories of great personalities are always inspiring and so here we have the great short biography of 5 scientists.

Short Biography of Sir Issac Newton
The early life of Newton
Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe near Grantham in Lincolnshire, England on 4 January 1643. His father died before he was born and in 1645 his mother married a clergyman from North Welham in Leicestershire. She went to live with him while Isaac Newton lived with his grandmother. When her second husband died in 1656 Isaac’s mother returned to Woolsthorpe and Isaac Newton went to live with her again.
From the age of 12 to 14 Isaac Newton went to Grantham Grammar School. During this time

he lodged with an apothecary and his family. Then in 1659 Isaac had to leave to help his mother on the family farm. Isaac Newton was not in the slightest bit interested in running a farm and in 1660 he went to the grammar school again. In 1661 he went to Trinity College Cambridge. Isaac Newton obtained a BA in 1665. In 1666 Isaac Newton was forced to flee Cambridge because of an outbreak of the plague and he returned temporarily to Woolsthorpe. He returned to university in 1667.
In 1667 Isaac Newton was elected a fellow of Trinity College. The same year he was elected a member of the Royal Society. In February 1672 a paper he wrote about light and colours was read to the society. In1669 Isaac Newton became Lucasian professor of mathematics. In the meantime, in 1668, he invented a reflecting telescope.
In 1689-1690 Isaac Newton was MP for Cambridge University (in those days Cambridge University had its own MPs). He became an MP again in 1701-1702 but he did not take an active part in politics.
Principia Mathematica
Isaac Newton published his masterpiece Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687. It set out his theory of gravity and his laws of motion.
In 1695 Isaac Newton was made Ward of the mint and in 1699 Master of the mint. He resigned his fellowship and professorship at Cambridge in 1701.
In 1703 Isaac Newton became president of the Royal Society. He was knighted in 1705. Meanwhile in 1704 Isaac Newton published another great work about light.

Short Biography of Albert Einstein
Born in Germany 1879, Albert Einstein is one of the most celebrated scientists of the Twentieth Century. His theories on relativity laid the framework for a new branch of physics, and Einstein’s E = mc2 on mass-energy equivalence is one of the most famous formulas in the world. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to theoretical physics and the evolution of Quantum Theory.
Einstein is also well known as an original free-thinker, speaking on a range of humanitarian and global issues. After contributing to the theoretical development of nuclear physics and encouraging F.D. Roosevelt to start the Manhattan Project, he later spoke out against the use of nuclear weapons.
Born inGermany to Jewish parents, Einstein settled in Switzerland and then, after Hitler’s rise to power, the United States. Einstein was a truly global man and one of the undisputed genius’ of the Twentieth Century.
Early life Albert Einstein
Einstein was born 14 March 1879, in Ulm the German Empire. His parents were working-class (salesman/engineer) and non-observant Jews. Aged 15, the family moved to Milan, Italy where his father hoped Albert would become a mechanical engineer. However, despite Einstein’s intellect and thirst for knowledge, his early academic reports suggested anything but a glittering career in academia. His teachers found him dim and slow to learn. Part of the problem was that Albert expressed no interest in learning languages and the learning by rote that was popular at the time.
“School failed me,

and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam.” Einstein and the Poet (1983)
At the age of 12, Einstein picked up a book on geometry and read it cover to cover. – He would later refer to it as his ‘holy booklet’. He became fascinated by maths and taught himself – becoming acquainted with the great scientific discoveries of the age.
Despite Albert’s independent learning, he languished at school. Eventually, he was asked to leave by the authorities because his indifference was setting a bad example to other students.
He applied for admission to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His first attempt was a failurebecause he failed exams in botany, zoology and languages. However, he passed the next year and in 1900 became a Swiss citizen.
At college, he met a fellow student Mileva Maric, and after a long friendship, they married in 1903; they had two sons before divorcing several years later.
In 1896 Einstein renounced his German citizenship to avoid military conscription. For five years he was stateless, before successfully applying for Swiss citizenship in 1901. After graduating from Zurich college, he attempted to gain a teaching post but none was fortcoming; instead he gained a job in the Swiss Patent Office.
While working at the Patent Office, Einstein continued his own scientific discoveries and began radical experiments to consider the nature of light and space.
He published his first scientific paper in 1900,

and by 1905 had completed his PhD entitled “A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions. In addition to working on his PhD, Einstein also worked feverishly on other papers. In 1905, he published four pivotal scientific works, which would revolutionise modern physics. 1905 would later be referred to as his ‘annus mirabilis‘
Einstein’s work started to gain recognition, and he was given a post at the University of Zurich (1909) and, in 1911, was offered the post of full-professor at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague (which was then part of Austria-Hungary Empire). He took Austrian-Hungary citizenship to accept the job. In 1914, he returned to Germany and was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. (1914–1932)
Albert Einstein’s Scientific Contributions
Quantum Theory
Einstein suggested that light doesn’t just travel as waveseclipse, British astronomer and physicist Sir Arthur Eddington was able to confirm Einstein’s prediction. The news was published in newspapers around the world, and it made Einstein internationally known as a leading physicist. It was also symbolic of international co-operation between British and German scientists after the horrors of the First World War.
In the 1920s, Einstein travelled around the world – including the UK, US, Japan, Palestine and other countries. Einstein gave lectures to packed audiences and became an internationally recognised figure for his work on physics, but also his wider observations on world affairs.
Bohr-Einstein debates
During the 1920s, other scientists started developing the work of Einstein and coming to different conclusions on Quantum Physics. In 1925 and 1926, Einstein took part in debates with Max Born about the

nature of relativity and quantum physics. Although the two disagreed on physics, they shared a mutual admiration.
Exile
As a German Jew, Einstein was threatened by the rise of the Nazi party. In 1933, when the Nazi’s seized power, they confiscated Einstein’s property, and later started burning his books. Einstein, then in England, took an offer to go to Princeton University in the US. He later wrote that he never had strong opinions about race and nationality but saw himself as a citizen of the world.
“I do not believe in race as such. Race is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.”
Once in the US, Einstein dedicated himself to a strict discipline of academic study. He would spend nothe harmony of all being”. But, he followed no established religion. His view of God sought to establish a harmony between science and religion.
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”
– Einstein, Science and Religion (1941)
Politics of Einstein
Einstein described himself as a Zionist Socialist. He did support the state of Israel, but became concerned about the narrow nationalism of the new state. In 1952, he was offered the position as President of Israel, but he declined saying he had:
“neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings.” … “I am deeply moved by the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed that I cannot accept it.”
Albert Einstein was involved in many civil rights movements such as the American

campaign to end lynching. He joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and considered racism, America’s worst disease. But he also spoke highly of the meritocracy in American society and the value of being able to speak freely.
On the outbreak of war in 1939, Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt about the prospect of Germany developing an atomic bomb. He warned Roosevelt that the Germans were working on a bomb with a devastating potential. Roosevelt headed his advice and started the Manhattan project to develop the US atom bomb. But, after the war ended, Einstein reverted to his pacifist views. Einstein said after the war.
“Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger.”(Newsweek, 10 March 1947)
In the post-war McCarthyite era, Einstein was scrutinised closely for potential Communist links. He wrote an article in favour of socialism, “Why Socialism” (1949) He criticised Capitalism and suggested a democratic socialist alternative. He was also a strong critic of the arms race. Einstein remarked:
“I do not know how the third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth—rocks!”
Einstein was feted as a scientist, but he was a polymath with interests in many fields. In particular, he loved music. He wrote that if he had not been a scientist, he would have been a musician. Einstein played the violin to a high standard.
“I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my

Short Biography of CV Raman
Dr. Chandra Shekhar Venkata Raman, popularly known as C.V. Raman, is one of the most distinguished scientists of the 20th century. It was he who during a long sea voyage to Europe in 1921 as the representative of the Kolkata University at a science meet, wondered why the water in Maditerranean Sea was such a dark shade of blue.
And the time came when he gave the answers to this apparently simple question and won the world’s most prestigious award-the Noble Prize in 1930.
Dr. C.V. Raman was born onNovember 7, 1888 in an orthodox South Indian Brahmin family in tirchurappalli, Tamilnadu. His father’s name was Chandra Shekhar Aiyer who had special interest in science and mathematics. His mother Parvati was a pious lady. Raman was a very brilliant student since his early childhood.
He passed his matriculation at the age of 11 and at 15 graduated from the Presidency College, Chennai. He was the only student to get a first class. He completed his Master’s degree in Physics from the same college and broke all previous records.
After this Raman took up a job in Calcutta (now Kolkata) as an assistant accountant general. While there, he was able to sustain his interest in science by working in his spare time, in the laboratories of the Indian Association for

the Cultivation of Science.
After ten years of Government services, Raman resigned to work as a professor of physics at the Kolkata University. He stayed there for fifteen years. It was the period when he received world wide recognition for his work in optics and scattering of light his pioneering research on the molecular scattering of light, the phenomenon that causes changes in the nature of light when it passes through a transparent medium-solid, liquid or gaseous-culminated in his getting the Noble Prize for Physics in 1930.
He carried out different types of experiments and researches on the sun rays passing through water, transparent ice blocks and other media. For these experiments, Raman used a mercury arc and a spectrograph. Raman obtained some new lines in the spectrum on passingthe sun rays through different substances. These lines were called ‘Raman Lines’ and the discovery of ‘Raman Effect’.
Raman was awarded the degree of ‘Doctor of Science’ in 1921 by the Kolkata University and in 1929; the British Gorvenment in India conferred on him the title of ‘Sir’. He was also awarded Lenin Peace Prize in 1958. The government of India also honoured him with the highest honour of the country,’Bharat Ratna’ (Jewel of India) in 1954.
In 1943, Raman set up the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore. There he served as its director and remained active until his death on November 21, 1970, at the age of eighty two. He was proud to be an Indian. Till the day he died, he did not give up his traditional Indian

Short Biography of Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 at the Mount House, Shrewsbury. His father was a doctor. His mother died when he was 8 years old. Charles had one brother and four sisters.
Up to the age of 8 Charles was taught by an older sister. He then began school. From his earliest years Charles Darwin was interested in natural history. However he was a poor scholar.
He went to Edinburgh University to study medicine but he left after 2 years. His father decided he should be a clergyman so Charles Darwin then went to Cambridge University.
Charles Darwin left Cambridge University in 1831. The same year he signed up to sail, without pay, as a naturalist on a shipcalled the Beagle. Its captain was Robert Fitzroy and it sailed on 27 December 1831.
In February 1832 the Beagle reached Brazil. They stayed in Brazil until July 1832 then sailed to Montevideo. Darwin spent three years in different parts of South America collecting specimens. Then in September 1835 the Beagle sailed to the Galapagos Islands.
Charles Darwin was surprised to learn the local people could tell by looking at a tortoise which island it came from. Darwin also studied finches. Each island had a different species of finch. Later Darwin came to the conclusion that all were descended from a single species of finch. On each island the finches had diverged and become slightly different.
In December 1835 Charles Darwin visited New Zealand and Tahiti. In January 1836 he reached

| 39,918,586 |
Australia. The beagle then sailed to Mauritius and South Africa before sailing north into the Atlantic. Finally the Beagle arrived at Falmouth on 2 October 1836 and two days later Darwin arrived in Shrewsbury.
Charles Darwin then wrote several books about his voyage. The first was Journal of Researches, which was an account of his voyage. He also wrote coral reefs, which was published in 1842, Volcanic Islands (1844), and Geographical Observations on South America (1846). Darwin gained a reputation as a brilliant geologist.
Meanwhile Charles Darwin was influenced by a geologist called Charles Lyell. In 1830 he published a book called Principles of Geology. In it Lyell proposed a theory called uniformitarianism. He believed that rocks and the landscape were formed over vast periods of time by very slowprocesses. However Lyell did not believe that one species of animal could change into another.
Charles Darwin disagreed. By 1836 he believed that species of animals could change. In July 1837 Darwin began to write notes about his theory. He called his notes The Transmutation of Species.
In October 1838 Darwin thought of a way in which one species could change into another. He noticed that individual members of a species vary. Furthermore all animals are competing with each other to survive. If the environment changed in some way, say if a new, faster predator appeared then any herbivores that could run slightly faster then other members of its species would be more likely to survive and reproduce. Any herbivores that ran slightly slower than most would be more likely

to be eaten. Slowly a new, faster herbivore would evolve. This was later called the survival of the fittest.
Meanwhile on 11 November 1838 Charles Darwin proposed to his cousin Emma Wedgwood. They married on 29 January 1839. As well as getting married Darwin was becoming more and more famous as a scientist. On 24 January 1839 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society.
Darwin’s first son was born on 27 December 1839. Altogether he had 10 children.
For years Charles Darwin studied nature looking for evidence to support his theory. For much of that time he suffered from ill health.
Then in 1858 Charles Darwin received a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace. It turned out that Wallace had independently devised a theory of evolution by natural selection.
Therefore Wallace’s workPlants under Domestication (1868). He also published The Descent of Man in 1871. In it he explained his ideas about the evolution of man. In 1872 Darwin published The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Darwin’s last book was on earthworms and it was published in October 1881 shortly before he died. Charles Darwin died of a heart attack on 19 April 1882. He was 73.

Short Biography of Srinivasa Ramanujan
Shrinivas Ramanujan, in his short life-span, proved to be a mathematical genius comparable to the likes of Karl Jacobi and Leonhaed Euler. Despite lack of formal higher education and battling against heavy odds of poverty and ill health, his mathematical genius flowed. His contribution in the fields of elliptic functions,

infinite series and the analytical theory of numbers is immeasurable. Even after his death at the young age of 32, his notes continued to be a subject of research and a source of further mathematical theorems, formulae and solutions. Born in India, which was then under British rule, he received encouragement and recognition not only from discerning Indians but also from his contemporary British mathematicians. Against the dictum of his religion he traveled to Britain where he collaborated with Prof Hardy at the Trinity College. Between 1914-1918, which coincided with World War I, Ramanujan stayed and worked at the Trinity College. Though his health was deteriorating, his mental faculties and mathematical genius flourished. It took an impressive list of eminent mathematicians to propose his name for election asa Fellow at The Royal Society of London. This unique honor was conferred on him on May 2, 1918.
Shrinivas Aiyangar Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887 in a Brahmin family in Southern India. His father was an accountant for the local traders, and was by no means well off. At the age of five, Ramanujan started attending primary school at Kumbakonam, his father’s place of work. Even during his school days his grasp of mathematical concepts was exceptional. He mystified his teachers and classmates with rapid calculations of long mathematical problems. At home too, his mind appeared to be busy thinking about and mentally playing around with numbers. The society in which he lived was appreciative of learning in general and mathematical aptitude in particular.
His school friends

recall approaching him for help in Mathematics. This he would readily provide enthusiastically. Though they knew that his grasp of the subject was much more, they could not fathom the depth of his intellect.
It was after he entered Town High School in Kumbakonam in 1898, that his genius took wings. In 1900, he began working on summing up of geometric and arithmetic series. Interestingly, in 1902 when he was taught cubic equations he went right ahead and evolved his own method to solve quartics. Going a step further he tried solving quintics by the same method but failed to do so.
The year 1902 marked a turning point in Ramanujan’s life. From the local library he got hold of a copy of a book on pure mathematics by GS Carr entitled Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Mathematics. The book was a collection of around 6,000 theorems and formulae with short proofs. Written in a concise manner, by a tutor, the book served to unfold uncharted fields for Ramanujan’s intellectual quests. Carr’s book was fairly outdated being published in 1856. Carr himself was never renowned as a great mathematician. But his book definitely was a scholarly and lively text written by one who obviously enjoyed mathematics. It not only provided the required thrust to Ramanujan’s genius but the influence of the book was to be felt in his works even after he had received much wider exposure to current theories.
In 1904, when he was just 16, Ramanujan began investigating the series of S (1/n) and calculated

Euler’s Constant to 15 decimal places. His study of Bernoulli numbers also commenced at this stage.
Due to his school performance, Ramanujan was offered a scholarship at Government College, Kumbakonam. His preoccupation with mathematics led him to neglect other subjects and, unfortunately, the college failed to renew his scholarship the following year. This was a setback that he took to heart and without informing his parents, went to Vishakhapatnam about 650 kms. from Madras. He continued his research work and focused on relations between integrals and series.
During the years in college, the professors of mathematics particularly Ramanujachari and Mudaliar quickly realized the worth of their precocious student. Often when a complex problem was explained to the class, Ramanujan would stand up and offer another solution which was easy andReichman – “is the result of a collaboration with Quintessence Yachts based on the idea of broadening the horizons of the Aston Martin world”.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte says he does not want to see any foreign troops in his country, and that the United States should “forget” a defense pact with Manila.
Duterte told reporters on Tuesday at the airport in the capital of Manila before leaving for Japan that if he stayed longer, he would not sign the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) with the US.
As a counter to China in the South China Sea, the US and the Philippines enacted the EDCA in 2014, giving the US military rotational access to five bases in the Philippines.
Last month, President Duterte promised he would review the defense pact, and called for the withdrawal of US Special Forces from southern Philippines.
On Tuesday, Duterte said he is against the presence of any foreign troopsin the Philippines.
"I do not want to see any military man of any other nation (in the Philippines), except the Filipino soldier,” he stated.
"That's the long and short of it. I want an independent policy where I don't have to accede to anyone else,” said the president, who is known for his candid talk.
"I look forward to the time when I no longer see any military troops or soldier in my country except the Filipino soldiers," Duterte said.
In addition, he said Washington should stop treating his country "like a dog with a leash.”

On Tuesday, US Ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg said Washington wants to continue its presence in the Philippines, and cited a need to curb militancy in southern parts of the country.
Ambassador Goldberg told ABS-CBN that the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group and several other militant organizations were posing a “very serious” security threat on the southern island of Mindanao.
Analysts say the United States is very worried after President Duterte’s pronouncement of his country’s “separation” from the US and deepening alliance with China.
“We see a very great change in Philippine policy. Instead of serving as a military base for the United States to attack China, I think they are going to reduce their military ties to the UnitedNational Bank of Illinois.

judgment burden. (Docket Entry No. 21). Diagnostic Center filed a reply (Docket Entry No. 23), which Abraham moved to strike (Docket Entry No. 24).
Based on the pleadings, the motion and response, the parties' submissions and the applicable law, Diagnostic Center's motion for summary judgment is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The reasons are set out below.[1]
*810 I. Background
Jeffrey Abraham worked as a cook for Diagnostic Center from May 1993 until his discharge on May 6, 1998. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.). During his employment, Abraham worked for Michael Kain, the Executive Chef, and for Laura Heald, the Director of Food and Nutrition Services. Id. In 1995, Abraham experienced a religious conversion and "began to speak about his religious beliefs and the good things the Lordthe Attendance Policy. In 1996, Abraham received a warning for an unexcused absence. (Docket Entry No. 14, Ex. 1(C)).
On March 28, 1998, Abraham was in an automobile accident and sustained neck and shoulder injuries. (Docket Entry No. 21). Approximately one week later, Abraham sought medical attention. On April 13, 1998, Abraham was scheduled to work beginning at 6:30 a.m. Abraham testified that as he was driving to work, he realized that he was in too much pain to work that day. He returned home and called in at 6:35 a.m. to give notice that he would be unable to work that day. At 7:00 a.m., he called back, talked to Kain, his supervisor, and said that he was going to see a doctor. Abraham obtained a doctor's excuse

for that day. Heald and Kain considered his absence unexcused on the ground that Abraham had failed to notify Kain of his inability to work that day until after the start of his scheduled shift.
On April 21, 1998, Abraham was scheduled to begin work at 9:30 a.m. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.). At 9:15 a.m., after he had already dressed for work, Abraham realized that his injured neck was so painful that he would be unable to work. Id. Abraham asked his wife to call Diagnostic Center and went to the doctor. The doctor told Abraham that he could not return to work until April 25, 1998. The doctor offered to fax a medical work excuse to Diagnostic Center. Abraham called the Diagnostic Center Human Resources Director,Bill Haines, to find *811 out where the work excuse should be sent. Abraham testified that Haines told him to fax the doctor's work excuse to Heald and provided a fax number. The doctor's office faxed the work excuse to the number Haines provided. Abraham addressed the fax to "Lori Hill," misspelling Heald's name.
Later that day, Abraham called Haines to confirm receipt of the fax. Haines confirmed that his department had the document. However, Diagnostic Center treated this absence as unexcused on the ground that Abraham's wife, not Abraham, called in to report the absence and did so within two hours of the start of the shift.
Heald wrote Abraham up on a disciplinary action for the two unexcused absences, stating that the discipline was "not a result of

Despite the doctor's excuse, faxed to and received by Diagnostic Center, Heald treated Abraham's absences on April 28 and April 29 as unexcused. Heald explained this treatment on the facts that Abraham did not have the doctor's note faxed to Abraham's direct supervisor, Kain, and did not call Kain prior to two hours before his shift began. (Docket Entry No. 14, Ex. 1).
On April 30, 1998, Abraham's wife, Karen Abraham, went to Diagnostic Center to pick up Abraham's paycheck. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.). At that time, Heald's secretary confirmed that Heald had received the April 28, 1998 medical work excuse and told Karen Abraham to have her husband call Kain. When Abrahamhis shift was to begin. Diagnostic Center asserts that on April 13, Abraham called after his shift had started; on April 21, Abraham's wife called after Abraham's shift had already begun; and the doctor's second work release, which was faxed before the April 29 and April 30 absences, was insufficient because it was not sent to Kain and because Abraham did not also telephone Kain.
*814 3. The Evidence of Pretext
Abraham has submitted evidence: (1) that Kain and Heald made remarks disparaging Abraham's religious beliefs, evidencing discriminatory animus; (2) that Kain and Heald treated his absences differently than the absences of employees who did not openly display their religious beliefs; and (3) that Kain and Heald made the decision to terminate his employment, a result that the attendance policy

absences to be emergency absences and that he properly followed the emergency phone-in procedure. Kain testified that an unexpected "illness" can qualify as an emergency and that the absence of an employee who becomes sick on the way to work, turns around, goes home and calls work upon arriving at home would be considered excused. (Docket Entry No. 21, Kain Dep.). As to the fact that on April 21, it was Abraham's wife who called in, Abraham testified that on at least two occasions, he received calls at work from Kain's wife, asking Abraham to notify Heald that Kain would not be at work that day because he was ill. (Docket Entry No. 21, Abraham Aff.).
Abraham gave advance, written notice of his absences in the form of afaxed doctor's work excuse on the second two occasions. The summary judgment record shows that Diagnostic Center had actual notice, more than four hours before his absence, that Abraham would be absent on April 29 and April 30. Karen Abraham testified that when she picked up Abraham's check, she was told by Laura Heald's secretary that they had received the doctor's April 28, 1998 fax, but that Abraham still needed to call Kain directly, which he did.
Kain testified that had the doctor's fax been directed to him instead of Laura Heald on April 28, the April 29 and April 30 absences would have been considered excused. (Docket Entry No. 21, Kain dep.). Although Diagnostic Center contends that Abraham gave notice to the incorrect person, the policy requires notice

The poison would've acted quickly, once the lethal dose was absorbed by her system, she would have died in 15 minutes.
Pathologists do not suspect suicide. In her condition, if she wanted death, all she had to do was stop taking the pills and go to sleep. She'd never wake.
According to interviews:
Aaron and Bethany confirm that Candice shut herself in at 8 pm. They remained in each other's sight until they turned in at 10.
Aaron stands to inherit a large fortune. Bethany stands to inherit a small amount by comparison
