Bowman's Star Trek Online Corner: Mirror of Discovery Edition
When there are signals coming from a planet in the galaxy who are you going to call to investigate it? In my case Captain Shinzor, a level 65 Tactical Captain. I traveled to a planet you all should know by now, Pahvo. The same mysterious planet that we see live in Star Trek: Discovery, is subject to some strange readings emanating from an Ion Storm in space. What is this the new Star Trek from JJ Abrams? No, it's something worse.

Bowman's Star Trek Online Corner
When you think of Star Trek you think of a few things, like humans flying around the universe in powerful ships, exotic alien worlds, and races, and the omnipotent beings like Q. The stories that have been told around this universe have had ups and downs but I think that it has been mostly good. One of the best things Star Trek Online has done is the inclusion of events, such as Q's Winter Wonderland and The Tzenkethi Go to War events. Let's dig a little deeper into these events.

5 MMO Incidents that Showed Solidarity Against the Real World
With the recent terrorist attacks in mind, I send out my condolences to all of those who lost or even have an injured loved one. In real life, we tend to stick together in such tragedies, give each other a pat on the back and help each other out of these tough times. On the other side, in the world of video games, it's not that different, since it's the same people in real life who play them.

La Scala is a sandy beach on the north coast, it's very popular due to the chillout style bar with music, WiFi, luxury loungers and good atmosphere. It has everything you need from table service cocktails to water sports.
Trypiti
Trypiti beach is found on the south coast, it's a good size beach, roughly 400m long and around 60m from shore to the trees at the rear. There's a large hotel at the western end of the beach and in front of the hotel is a bunch of luxury, stylish sun loungers.
Skala Prinos
Skala Prinos is a coarse sand beach with shingle in paces. It's a relatively small beach at just over 100m long but it continues into Aphrodite beach to the east and Etsies beach to the south west so it's perfect for a long stroll.
Skala Rachoni
Skala Rachoni beach is on the north west coast of Thassos, it stretches from Skala Rachoni harbour for over 400m. There's sun loungers available for those that want them and they're not tightly packed in like you find on some beaches.
Skala Sotiros
Skala Sotiros is a sandy beach, with some shingle in places, particularly around the entrance to the water. The beach itself is a kind of triangle shape, it's around 50m from front to back at the harbour end and tapers off to nothing at the other end.
Tarsanas
Tarsanas is a small beach on the western edge of Limenas and if you're staying in the capital you can walk it in around 15 minutes. Once at Tarsanas beach you'll find an upmarket looking beach bar that plays chill out music and has luxury wooden loungers.
Skala Kallirachi
Skala Kallirachi is the small beach on the edge of the village with the same name. There's actually a couple of sections to Skala Kallirachi beach with the main sections round by the marina, these areas are mostly sandy and the water shelves gently into the sea.
Skala Maries
Skala Maries beach is found at the southern end of the west coast of Thassos. The beach is just 70m wide and 25m deep, it's mainly coarse sand but with some stones and shingle in places. There's sun loungers available to hire as well as toilets and showers too.
Rosogremos
Rosogremos beach is a 200m long sand beach on the south coast of Thassos. It's lined with trees and is mainly sand with a rocky section towards the south east end of the beach. This is slightly separate but usually still has sun loungers available.
Salonikios
Salonikios is a secluded beach on Thassos' southern most tip, not far from Astrida, the beach has shingle underfoot with some sections being more sandy and others being more stony. There's unusual sun loungers made from laying cushions on pallets.

Will the last softball player to leave the Oregon program please shut off the lights at Jane Sanders Stadium?
The attrition under first-year coach Melyssa Lombardi continues with standout centerfielder Shannon Rhodes and freshman Alyssa Pinto becoming the latest players to seek a transfer.
Rhodes was an emerging Pac-12 star after hitting .347 with 11 home runs and 42 RBIs as a sophomore. Pinto was a top-100 recruit who redshirted last season.
Since Mike White left to take the Texas job, the Ducks have lost five players.
Mary Iakopo, who was the only catcher on the roster, left after earning second-team all-Pac-12 honors by hitting .306 in 62 games as a freshman with eight home runs an 37 RBIs.
Ace pitcher Miranda Elish and hometown star Lauren Burke both transferred to Texas to play for White.
The defending Pac-12 champion Ducks already had to replace a strong senior class comprised of four-year standouts Jenna Lilley, Gwen Svekis and Lauren Lindvall, as well as graduate transfer DJ Sanders.
There are only 14 players remaining on Oregon's 2019 roster.
Lombardi still inherits Pac-12 pitcher of the year Megan Kleist and a solid No. 2 pitcher in Maggie Balint.
The Ducks went 8-0 and outscored the opposition 114-2 during the fall exhibition season. Lombardi's first season begins at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., on Feb. 8.

Is your AC making ominous noises? Maybe it sounds fine but isn't cooling. Here's a list of common air conditioning warning signs and their likely causes and fixes.
Air conditioning and HVAC units don't last forever -- 12 years is an average lifespan -- and the moment they fail is usually when you need them the most.
The good news is that not every system malfunction spells total doom. Many nuisances are so cheap and easy to fix, you'll kick yourself for not doing them sooner.
Possible cause: 'Airflow is paramount to comfort,' notes Hutchinson. If you aren't comfortable, the problem usually can be traced to issues with airflow.
The fix: Change the filter. (You should do this as part of regular HVAC maintenance anyway.) Depending on the quality of the filter, the amount of people living in the house, and if there are pets, the filter should be changed every 30-60 days.
Outdoors, make sure there's at least 24 inches of clearance on the sides and 5 feet on top of the unit. Also, check to make sure there are no obstructions to the home's cold air returns and registers.
Possible cause: A spike in operating costs typically signals inefficient operation. After a dirty filter (warning sign #2), the most likely culprit is a choked condensing coil. Located within the outdoor unit, the coil has countless cooling fins -- much like a car radiator -- that can accumulate dust and debris.
The fix: If you're lucky, a simple tightening here and lubricating there will fix the problem. If not, you might require a new fan motor or fan blade.
Possible cause: Improper placement of the thermostat can wreak havoc on one's comfort. The unit might be in direct sun, too close to a register, or near a hot oven. Also, a remodel might have you spending more time where the thermostat is not.
Cost: Free if you're handy (and plan on reusing the same unit); up to $250 for a new programmable unit, plus another $90 for an electrician to install it.
The fix: Inspect the tube for crimps, clogs, and disconnections. Also, if the water flows into a sump basin, ensure that the sump pump is in good working order.
The fix: The outdoor unit is connected to the indoor system by two copper refrigerant lines, which should be covered with insulating sleeves. Make sure that they are. Also, the system may need its refrigerant re-charged.
Cost: $5 for insulating sleeves; up to $150 for a system re-charge.
The fix: If the compressor fails, the unit won't run. The only fix for this is a costly replacement of the equipment, which includes various small parts, new Freon, and labor.

A "calcified" swallow sings in stony silence along northern Tanzania's Lake Natron (map), which contains so much soda and salt that it would "strip the ink of my Kodak film boxes in a few seconds," according to photographer Nick Brandt.

Brandt unexpectedly found the dead animals that had washed up on the shore, preserved by the lake, and posed them as they had been in life. The photographs, taken between 2010 and 2012, appear in Brandt's new book Across the Ravaged Land. (Also see "Pictures: Best Wild Animal Photos of 2012 Announced.")

Lake Natron's unusually harsh composition comes from a unique neighboring volcano, Ol Doinyo, which spews alkali-rich natrocarbonatites that end up in Lake Natron via rainwater runoff.

Thure Cerling, professor of geology and geophysics at the University of Utah, said by email that the animals in Brandt's photographs likely died of natural causes. Since there are few predators in the area, their bodies remain and become salt-encrusted when the lake's water level drops.

However, Brandt said that many people in the region have seen birds crash-land into the water. So he believes the birds and bats were confused by the sky's reflection in the lake and killed when they hit the water.

The animals probably aren't truly calcified, but are coated with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, said Cerling, who has researched the chemistry of Africa's Rift Valley lakes.

"There is almost no calcium in the lake, although the inflowing fresh waters have calcium, which precipitates as it mixes with the high-pH alkaline waters of the lake."

IU football: Warren's resume makes sense for Hoosiers defense
Zach Osterman
Between 2009-16, IU's football team appointed a total of 28 captains.
Some were repeat servants, like Ben Chappell and Dan Feeney. Three were quarterbacks. Five were defensive linemen. Six were offensive linemen. Of the 28, fully 24 came to IU from high schools in Indiana, Ohio or Illinois.
Since 2017, that trend has altered course. In the last four seasons, Indiana has named 18 team captains. Of those, 10 came from states generally considered within the Southern footprint. Eight hailed from Florida, Georgia or Tennessee
In this context, the weekend's news that Indiana plans to hire Georgia defensive backs coach Charlton Warren as its next defensive coordinator shouldn't be surprising. For a program that's taken on an increasingly Southern feel in the last half-decade, it makes all the sense in the world.
First, words on Warren.
An Air Force graduate who spent most of his early coaching career in Colorado Springs, Warren served as defensive coordinator or co-defensive coordinator from 2008-13, when he left the academy to come back east.
Warren, an Atlanta native, has spent the last six seasons coaching defensive backs at North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Georgia. He also coordinated special teams for one season in Knoxville, in 2017.
Along the way, Warren served as primary recruiter for seven different top-150 players he eventually committed, per 247Sports. Among those, four players from Georgia, a state IU has targeted with increased frequency. Warren was also part of Georgia's pursuit of five-star corner Kelee Ringo, who redshirted as a freshman this season in Athens because of an injury.
Warren will move from coaching defensive backs to coaching linebackers at Indiana, meaning he'll fill the exact hole left by Kane Wommack's departure.
It will mark his first job involving positional responsibilities outside the secondary, but it's worth pointing out Wommack only coached linebackers beginning during his time at South Alabama, before coming to IU, and the head coach Warren now works for is intimately familiar with the position. It's also worth saying another secondary-minded coach on a defensive staff that's built some frankly outstanding secondaries the last 2-3 years probably isn't a bad thing. This one comes with the experience of having worked with Kirby Smart, an old DB who grew into one of the best defensive minds in college football.
Point is, Warren's resume makes sense for IU. He fits not just what the Hoosiers want to do, but also who they want to be.
None of this is meant to suggest Indiana will leave its roots. So long as Tom Allen is head coach (and he keeps assistants like former defensive line coach Mark Hagen or current tight ends coach Kevin Wright on staff), Indiana will recruit Indiana. In their last three classes, the Hoosiers have signed 15 in-state players. They have two IndyStar Mr. Football winners on their roster, one of who is among their core group of defensive backs. All five of this year's in-state signees are top-20 players in Indiana, per 247Sports. Two are top-10.
It's what the Hoosiers do once they've exhausted their in-state targets that's different.
In the past, the answer was pretty straightforward. Bill Lynch's staff, the bulk of which was constructed during Terry Hoeppner's tenure, stayed in the Midwest. It pulled players from Ohio, Illinois, Michigan. Of the 56 Indiana signees in 247Sports' database between 2007-09, just 13 were signed from outside the Big Ten footprint.
Kevin Wilson and his staff weren't afraid to go south (or west, Nate Sudfeld) for players. But there were still heavy emphases placed on Illinois, where the Hoosiers got Feeney, Nick Mangieri and Tevin Coleman, and Ohio, which landed players like Tegray Scales, Marcus Oliver, Shane Wynn and Peyton Ramsey in Bloomington. Thanks to that staff's connections in the Buckeye State — not least its head coach's several years at Miami (Ohio) — you could make a decent team of 22 starters from Wilson's tenure composed purely of players from western and southern Ohio.
This staff doesn't ignore its immediate geographic area, but it doesn't emphasize it either. In the last three classes, IU has signed six players from Florida and six from Georgia, the same number as Ohio and Michigan combined. It's pulled more players from Mississippi (2) than Illinois (1).
None of which is surprising when you consider the background of IU's staff.
Allen's ties to Mississippi, west Tennessee and Florida are well-documented, but his assistants have deep roots in the South as well. Defensive line coach Kevin Peoples and safeties coach Jason Jones have spent the majority of their careers coaching there. Wright spent several years as head coach at IMG Academy in Florida.
Even some IU coaches with strong ties to the Midwest still have extension connections in the South. Nick Sheridan grew up in Michigan and played for the Wolverines, but until he came to Bloomington, the furthest north his college coaching career had ever taken him was Bowling Green, Ky. His last job before moving to Indiana in 2017: Tennessee.
Going south isn't a new tactic for Big Ten programs. Even Ohio State recruits Texas and Florida with the best of them.
But Indiana isn't doing this scattergun, covering SEC country with a big wet blanket, hoping to grab loose talent. The Hoosiers hit targeted areas — Memphis and western Tennessee, the Atlanta area, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami — then branching out through individual coaches' connections elsewhere.
And the Hoosiers aren't just panning for underrecruited prospects.
Yes, some players pulled from Southern states have outperformed their ranking or recruiting interest. But there have been plenty of big wins as well.
Michael Penix picked IU over Florida State. Tiawan Mullen was an All-American Bowl selection with a brother at Clemson (and now in the NFL). Indiana got Mississippians Kahlil Benson and Ty Fryfogle to say no to in-state programs Mississippi State and Ole Miss, respectively. Georgians Damarjhe Lewis and Jaquez Smith picked Bloomington over multiple offers from the Southeastern Conference.
Once those players get to campus, Indiana puts them into a strength-and-conditioning program run by one the highest-paid members of his profession in the country.
IU lost David Ballou and Matt Rhea to Alabama last offseason, the eventual national champions impressed by their state-of-the-art approach to strength and conditioning. Alabama poached them after it lost its own longtime strength coach, Scott Cochran, to Georgia. Part of Georgia's package in luring Cochran, one of the most-respected men in his field, to Athens: make him a full-time assistant. Cochran now coordinates the Bulldogs' special teams.
When Allen signed his new contract last offseason, it included a stipulation that he be allowed to hand his head of strength and conditioning an assistant-level deal. The man he hired, Aaron Wellman, got a two-year contract with the same protections and bonus structure as an assistant. Wellman's position isn't countable for purposes like recruiting and in-practice coaching but, between base pay and outside, marketing and promotional income, he's better-paid at $700,000 a year than anyone else on staff, save Allen himself.
Everyone in college football says strength and conditioning is a priority. IU pays for it to be a science.
The result? A team that looks markedly different than its predecessors of, say, 10-12 years ago. Big, strong wide receivers. Athletic tight ends. Mammoth strong-side tackles and nimble weak-side tackles. Disruptive linemen, do-everything linebackers, versatile DBs. Corners that can tackle anything in space, and safeties that would've been corners 20 years ago.
None of this makes IU unique, and none of it is revolutionary. But a fair bit of it is reflective of this staff's deep ties to and years spent learning college football in the South. Most of it is light years ahead of where Indiana was as a program a decade ago, when Wilson first arrived.
And a lot of that can be attributed to foundational changes in a program that, in the last 4-5 seasons, has replaced some of its Big Ten-familiar behaviors with lessons learned further South — and been better for it.


My passion for the natural world has driven me to create these images. The 'glyphs' are designed to capture the essence of the animals they represent in a simple, elegant, and powerful manner.
I experimented with all manner of materials — bone, wood, metal — but nothing felt quite right. I wanted something natural, durable and beautiful yet not damaging to the environment. When I discovered tagua - it was love at first sight. Tagua 'the nut of a rainforest palm tree' - is a naturally renewable resource with many qualities similar to animal ivory.
Wear it, display it, or simply keep it nearby and always have your guardian close to your heart. These talismans are a physical reminder of the spiritual essences which inspire and surround us. Lovingly hand-crafted one-by-one, each pendant is a unique work of art.
Is there a custom tagua pendant you would like made? Email us your inquiry!

Lemur people tend to be charismatic, unique, spirited individuals. They have a great sense of fun and are often considered eccentric, living in their own world (and happily so). Lemur medicine is rooted in communication, practical skill development, and matching energy level to situation so as to navigate smoothly and enjoyably through life.
Leopard people tend to be independent, graceful and secretive. They are self-assured, aggressive, and are often known as intimidating. Leopard medicine helps people to learn to listen to their own intuition and instinct, and to understand that this sense is just as powerful as logic.

Tradition, vulnerability, specialization. Giant panda as a totem is about solitude and self-discovery. Giant panda people tend to be quiet, unassuming, focused, and unyielding.

Individual beauty, confidence, self-esteem. Peacock medicine can teach us to be bold, proud of our accomplishments, watchful, and observant. Peacock people tend to be successful, visionary, sensual, generous, and dignified.

Peacock can teach us to balance pride with humor, being able to laugh at life and not take ourselves too seriously despite a tendency in that direction.
Penguin people are often very organized, thriving on order and control. The penguin is a symbol of agility, drive, and purpose. Penguin medicine teaches the ability to move freely between realities and situations, and to replace chaos with order.

Uganda-Tanzania War of 1975-1976
Introduction to The Uganda–Tanzania War Essay
The Uganda–Tanzania War of 1978–1979 has received little attention from historians. This article uses British diplomatic sources to explore the causes and course of the conflict. In particular, it examines how Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere sought to hide from and later justify to the rest of the world an invasion of Uganda and the overthrowing of Idi Amin, actions that contravened the Charter of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). Distinct among contemporaneous African conflicts for its noticeable lack of a Cold War context, the war demonstrated the shortcomings of the OAU in resolving African conflicts.
Pros and cons to essay on The Uganda–Tanzania War, the Fall of Idi Amin, and the Failure of African Diplomacy, 1978–1979
"Since independence from British colonial rule, Uganda has had a turbulent political history characterised by putsches, dictatorship, contested electoral outcomes, civil wars and a military invasion
There were eight changes of government within a period of twenty-four years (from 1962-1986), five of which were violent and unconstitutional. This paper identifies factors that account for these recurrent episodes of political violence and state collapse. While colonialism bequeathed the country a negative legacy including a weak state apparatus, ethnic division, skewed development, elite polarisation and a narrow economic base, post-colonial leaders have on the whole exacerbated rather than reversed these trends. Factors such as ethnic rivalry, political exclusion, militarisation of politics, weak state institutions, and unequal access to opportunities for self-advancement help to account for the recurrent cycles of violence and state failure prior to 1986. External factors have also been important, particularly the country's politically turbulent neighbourhood, the outcome of political instability and civil conflict in surrounding countries. Neighbourhood turbulence stemming from such factors as civil wars in Congo and Sudan has had spill-over effects in that it has allowed insurgent groups geographical space within which to operate as well as provided opportunities for the acquisition of instruments of war with which to destabilise the country. Critical to these processes have been the porosity of post-colonial borders and the inability by the Ugandan state to exercise effective control over its entire territory."
The emergence of humanitarian intervention as a norm prompts a rare question: why, if a war appears to be conducted based on humanitarian grounds, would a state then hide that fact? This paper examines the 1978 Tanzanian invasion of Uganda and the conflicts preceding it. Although Tanzania declined to justify its removal of the murderous Amin regime in Uganda as "humanitarian intervention" due to constraints imposed by flaws in the Organisation of African Unity, the invasion was in no small part due to adherence to humanitarian norms as well as personal and state interest. Broadly speaking, the Uganda-Tanzania war provides an insight into what occurs when two norms clash.[Boyle, Emma Leonard 2017] The Ugandan army invaded Tanzania in October 1978. The dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin Dada, wished to annex the Kagera Salient, an area of land under Tanzanian control that extended past the Kagera River to the Uganda-Tanzania border. The Tanzanian government retaliated by recapturing the Salient and pushing forward into Uganda, seizing the capital Kampala and removing Amin from power in April 1979.[Gunderson, Frank D., 2010] The Uganda National Liberation Front was installed as the national government and a new president took office. When viewed so simplistically, the war appears short, and to have been fought for clear, easily discernible reasons. Many experts believe the Uganda-Tanzania war "provides an early case of a war justified by humanitarian intervention.
In the long run, the steps-to-war explanation identifies both general underlying causes and a set of proximate causes of war that span all levels of analysis. Underlying causes are seen as the rise of a territorial dispute or other important issues of contention that leads states to rivalry. Territorial issues merely provide a source of conflict that is more likely to end in war than other types of issues
Although most territorial disputes do not end in war, these issues have a higher probability of leading to war than any other issue.

Rhetorical Analysis on Infamy Speech by Franklin Roosevelt
Really, he'd hoped to spend that afternoon up in the second floor study, magnifying glass in hand, working on the stamp collection that since boyhood had taught him about the world. But FDR was president, with work to do. He was talking policy with one of his aides when Navy Secretary Frank Knox called. "Mr. President," he said, sounding doubtful, "it looks like the Japanese have attacked Pearl Harbor."
Libertarian Views on the National Defense Budget
Total commitment to the nonaggression principle, as embodied by the minimum-deterrence posture and unilateral nuclear disarmament, will gravely compromise the effective defense of anarchist territory. This leaves anarchists with a difficult choice: (1) decline to extend the NAP to those outside the voluntary defense network in the name of self-preservation, or (2) extend the NAP even to their enemies, and be vanquished…
Which Types of Terrorist Group Are More Likely to Fail?
The emergence of amorphous and largely unknown terrorist individuals and groups operating independently (freelancers) and the new recruitment patterns of some groups, such as recruiting suicide commandos, female and child terrorists, and scientists capable of developing weapons of mass destruction, provide a measure of urgency to increasing our understanding of the psychological and sociological dynamics of terrorist groups and individuals.
How Does Max Abrahms (2006) Classify Terrorist Groups?
Terrorist groups attack civilians to coerce their governments into making policy concessions, but does this strategy work? If target countries systematically resist rewarding terrorism, the international community is armed with a powerful message to deter groups from terrorizing civilians.
Do You Agree With the Idea That the Political System of Us Developed in
In 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence, stating their specific grievances with the British monarchy and why they were going to create a separate government. After the colonies separated from the British monarchy and formed the United States of America, they had to answer some crucial questions: 1) If not a monarchy, what type of government was the United States going to have? 2) What kind of government was going to protect the people without violating their individual liberties?

A Florida man on probation for burglarizing an occupied dwelling is lucky to be alive after he was discovered inside the home of a gun owner.
According to the Tampa Tribune, 21-year-old Michael Jose Zamora-Norris of Tampa broke into a home on Boyette Oaks Place at 2 a.m. on sunday, waking up the homeowners as he walked through the living room.
Once alerted to the fact that there was an intruder, one of the homeowners grabbed his shotgun, loaded two rounds and confronted Zamora-Norris in a hallway, a police report said.
Zamora-Norris fled into a nearby bathroom and attempted to shut the door, but the homeowner pushed the door open and opened fire on Zamora-Norris as he jumped through the bathroom window.
Zamora-Norris was not hit, police said. He was arrested using a K-9 officer and was positively identified by the victim. He has been charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and violating probation.
As the Tampa Tribune points out, Zamora-Norris was already on probation for a 2012 arrest for burglary, grand theft and possession of marijuana.

Antonio Brown accused of rape in civil lawsuit
Antonio Brown has been accused of sexually assaulting his former trainer, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida.
In the lawsuit, a copy of which was reviewed by ESPN, Brown's former trainer, Britney Taylor, accuses the newly signed New England Patriots receiver of sexually assaulting her on three separate occasions in 2017 and '18.
The first alleged incident came in June 2017, with Taylor saying Brown exposed himself and kissed her without consent at one of his Pittsburgh-area homes. A month later, while at Brown's home in his native Miami, Taylor alleges in the lawsuit, Brown masturbated near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back, then later bragged about it in a series of text messages. In May 2018, after a night out at a Miami-area club, Taylor says she went back to Brown's home in Miami to use the bathroom and grab some food, and the receiver "forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her."
Brown's lawyer, Darren Heitner, said in a statement Tuesday night that the receiver and Taylor were involved in a "consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual."
In a tweet on Tuesday, Heitner said that Brown "will leave no stone unturned and will aggressively defend himself, including all of his rights in countersuits."
Taylor was a gymnast at Central Michigan, where Brown attended college. According to the lawsuit, they met in a Bible study group at the school and stayed friends, then fell out of touch for several years before reconnecting in June 2017, with Brown hiring Taylor to assist in his physical training.
In the lawsuit, Taylor says she believed their relationship was of a "brother-sister" type and acted accordingly.
The alleged incidents have left Taylor suffering "near-daily panic attacks and suicidal ideations," per the lawsuit. She is seeking in excess of $75,000.
"As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision," Taylor said in a statement. "I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault."
Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowler, spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Steelers before being traded this offseason to the Raiders. After a weeks-long saga with Oakland, he was released Saturday, and he officially signed two days later with the Patriots. He is scheduled to practice with New England for the first time on Wednesday.
There was no immediate comment from the Patriots or the NFL.
Heitner told ESPN's Michael Eaves that he has "not been in contact with the league regarding this lawsuit."

A Case Study of Alabang Mall South Park Land UseBrief history of land use planning in the Philippines Philippine history has been marked by different periods of time that influenced the society and culture in a way that modified the use of land and its allocation.
