MANHATTAN (CN) – The Dallas Cowboys need not bench their star running back Ezekiel Elliott this weekend thanks to an intervention Friday by the Second Circuit.
Elliott and the players' union have been fighting the NFL for the past two months over a six-game suspension that the league gave Elliott on domestic-violence allegations.
Though local authorities declined to prosecute when Elliott's ex-girlfriend accused him of physically abusing her in August 2016, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called for disciplinary measures this past September, saying the league's year-long investigation determined that "Elliott's behavior … was inappropriate and disturbing, reflecting a lack of respect for women."
Elliott says the league's disciplinary proceedings lacked due process, however, a claim that has become something of a recurring theme for the league as it haphazardly imposes morality standards on athletes for conduct that garners bad press.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was unsuccessful last year in bucking his suspension over the Deflate-gate controversy, but Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice successfully appealed the indefinite suspension he was handed after video emerged of him knocking out his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator.
Elliott's challenge meanwhile is underway before different courts in Texas and in New York. He moved for an emergency injunction this week at the Second Circuit after a federal judge hearing the latter case found that the NFL treated Elliott fairly.
U.S. Circuit Judge Susan Carney opted Friday to put that ruling on hold just for this Sunday's upcoming game between the Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs.
This will give her colleagues enough time to decide if they should expedite Elliott's appeal and grant an injunction in the meantime.
Those determinations will likely be made by a three-judge panel.
Carney set a motions deadline of Nov. 7 and emphasized that her stay offers no position on the merits of Elliott's case. After Sunday, the Cowboys are not scheduled to play again until their game with the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 12.
Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general who represents the NFL for the firm Kirkland & Ellis, has not responded to a request for comment.
With a 4-3 win-loss record so far this season, the Dallas Cowboys have nine more games of regular season play remaining.
Elliott's scandal erupted in August 2016 when his girlfriend at the time, Tiffany Thompson of Columbus, Ohio, posted pictures of her bruised body on Instagram. Her caption intimated that Elliott caused them.
"Thrown into walls," it said. "Being choked to where I have to gasp for breath. Bruised everywhere, mentally and physically abused. It's not okay. So I want each and every one of you girls to step away now from domestic violence."
Though the NFL has not released its report on its Elliott investigation, a leaked copy obtained by Yahoo Sports says Thompson admitted to NFL investigators that she considered blackmailing Elliott with a sex tape.
Elliott has denied abusing Thompson and says the NFL's unfair investigation denied him he opportunity to cross-examine her.

Inconsistent Claims of Disability Provide Evidence to Defeat Allegation of Wrongful Termination Under the Americans With Disabilities Act
In Pena v. Honeywell Int'l Inc., 923 F.3d 18 (1st Cir. 2019), the First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of an employer in an action brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 1210 (1990), where the employee had inconsistences between her application for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) and her claims in the legal case.
Mayra Pena was employed by Honeywell International, Inc. (Honeywell), as a machine operator, starting in approximately 2008. Before 2012, Ms. Pena worked primarily in the respiratory department of Honeywell's production and assembly facility. In 2012, Honeywell determined that all employees would be cross-trained so they could work in multiple areas of the facility, depending on need. Ms. Pena was trained to work in all assembly departments, including the molding department, which ran machines 24 hours a day. Ms. Pena was assigned to the molding department in October 2012. She took medical leave for seasonal depression from November 29, 2012 to January 14, 2013. She had taken previous medical leaves of absence totaling 23 weeks.
Among her assignments, Ms. Pena worked in the molding department on a limited basis when she returned to work on January 14, 2013. She worked there without complaint for about one month. In late February 2013, she informed a senior human resources employee that she did not want to return to the molding department because "'it was harmful to her emotionally'" (Pena, p 22). Honeywell requested that she provide a doctor's note, which she supplied. Dr. James Greer stated in a letter, dated March 4, 2013, that Ms. Pena had reported an exacerbation of her anxiety symptoms, specifically when working in the molding department. Dr. Greer added that she had the capability to work in other departments. There was no mention in the letter of Ms. Pena's diagnosis, the basis for the recommendation other than her self-report, or any explanation of why she was specifically affected by the molding department.
Honeywell determined that the physician's letter was inadequate to make a determination regarding accommodations sought by Ms. Pena. On March 8, 2013, Ms. Pena was informed that either she could work in the molding department or she would have to go home. Ms. Pena left and never returned to work. Honeywell attempted to contact Ms. Pena about return to work options, and in April 2013 Honeywell asked Dr. Greer for additional documentation. Ms. Pena supplied information for a reasonable accommodation request and attached a letter from Dr. Greer, which included her diagnosis of major depressive disorder and commented that a return to the molding department would exacerbate her symptoms. Honeywell requested medical records to explain why her symptoms prevented her from working specifically in the molding department. Honeywell sent her a letter on April 8, 2013, indicating that they had not received records and, therefore, had insufficient information for further action. In late April 2013, Ms. Pena's lawyer responded that the release of sensitive medical records was unnecessary and an invasion of privacy. Honeywell and Ms. Pena's attorney communicated back and forth about the documentation of her medical need for accommodations. Honeywell terminated Ms. Pena's employment on June 17, 2013, on the basis of job abandonment because she had not come to work since March 8, 2013.
Ms. Pena applied for SSDI in September 2013, stating that she was totally disabled and had been since March 8, 2013. The SSDI application required the claimant to attest to making true and correct statements. Regarding her SSDI claim, an independent evaluator gave a diagnosis of somatoform disorder. The administrative law judge in her SSDI case found that she had "been suffering from somatoform disorder and was totally disabled as of March 8, 2013" (Pena, p 24).
During the same time period, Ms. Pena filed a legal suit against Honeywell in April 2015, asserting violations of the ADA and various Rhode Island laws. She claimed that Honeywell unlawfully terminated her employment on the basis of her disabilities, failed to provide reasonable accommodations, and retaliated against her. During discovery, she provided deposition testimony in November 2016. A hearing to consider Honeywell's motion to dismiss was heard in September 2017. The court considered whether there were inconsistencies in her application for SSDI and her legal action against Honeywell. The court concluded that Ms. Pena had not met the requirements of Cleveland v. Policy Management Systems Corporation, 526 U.S. 795 (1999) to overcome the discrepancy. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Honeywell. Ms. Pena appealed the decision.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the facts in the light most favorable to Ms. Pena. The ADA prevents employment discrimination on the basis of a disability. Under the ADA, the plaintiff must demonstrate that she was disabled under the definition of the ADA, that she was a "qualified individual," and that the employer took an adverse action because of the person's disability. At question in this case was whether Ms. Pena's inconsistencies between her SSDI application and her legal case against Honeywell could be reconciled. The court reviewed the Cleveland case, which also involved inconsistencies in a prior SSDI statement and a claimant's position in an ADA litigation. Cleveland takes the position that a court "should require an explanation of any apparent inconsistency with the necessary elements of the ADA claim" (Pena, p 28, citing Cleveland, p 807).
Ms. Pena argued that she had provided a sufficient explanation of the inconsistencies. One of her arguments was that "being disabled under the ADA is different from being disabled for SSDI benefits, because the ADA takes into account an employer's duty to make reasonable accommodations" (Pena, p 28). The Circuit Court agreed with the district court that Ms. Pena had not met her burden under Cleveland to provide a reasonable explanation for the inconsistencies. The court noted, "In her SSDI application, Pena offered no qualification of any sort to her statement that she was totally disabled as of March 8, 2013" (Pena, p 29). The court specifically mentioned that she submitted her SSDI application under penalty of perjury and while represented by counsel. The court added that she argued a cause and date to get her SSDI benefit. It was further noted that "[s]omatoform disorder is not the disability for which Pena had claimed to Honeywell she needed reasonable accommodations" (Pena, p 29). Additionally, during her deposition in the case against Honeywell, Ms. Pena was asked "several times to explain the statements in her SSDI application, and Pena repeatedly stated that she was totally disabled as of March 8, 2013." The court found this persuasive that it reinforced her inconsistencies, rather than explained them. The court further rejected Ms. Pena's subsequent attempts to explain away her deposition testimony and attribute the claimed March date to her attorney. The court ruled that the district court properly granted Honeywell's motion for summary judgment.
For claimants, this case highlights how statements made in one legal context can be used in another context. Here, inconsistencies between the two settings precluded Ms. Pena from continuing her legal case for wrongful termination against her employer under the ADA when she failed to provide sufficient justification for the observed inconsistencies.
For clinicians, this case underscores the challenges faced when a patient requests disability documentation. Statistically, most mental health clinicians are asked to complete paperwork in support of a disability claim (Christopher P, Bouland R, Recupero R, et al.: Psychiatric residents' experience conducting disability evaluations. Acad Psychiatry 34: 211–5, 2010). Clinicians should consider whether they have sufficient information to make a disability assessment and provide documentation, as well as expertise and time, to address the problem. Clinicians should have a candid discussion with their patient about what they can and cannot comfortably and competently state about a person's disability and associated accommodations. In some cases, the clinician may need to refer the patient to another mental health provider for disability assessment.

Felicity Jones was ill-prepared on the first day of filming 'The Theory of Everything' so was grateful for the help she received from co-star Eddie Redmayne.
Felicity Jones was ill-prepared on the first day of filming 'The Theory of Everything'.
The 31-year-old star appears alongside Eddie Redmayne in the new biopic of Professor Stephen Hawking - in which she plays his ex-wife Jane Wilde and he appears as the acclaimed theoretical physicist - and Felicity conceded she needed the help of her co-star to navigate her way through the first day on set.
Reflecting on her experience of working with Eddie, Felicity said: ''On the first day, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I was just hoping for the best and hopefully that nobody thinks I'm a fool.
''But we really bonded with each other, you know, and made this a very collaborative process. And I absolutely love working with Eddie, he's such a divine, divine human being.''
Felicity was astonished by how talented her co-star was, particularly because he is so humble about his abilities.
She told BANG Showbiz: ''[Eddie's transformation] was so effortless, it felt like I was speaking to Stephen, which is wonderful. He has far too much humility, which I'm going to have to shake out of him. No, one day he'll realise how incredible he is. But he's always focused on doing the best he could, and that's what makes him a great actor.''

Kotwal Saab (Police Officer) is a 1977 Bollywood drama action film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. An Amiya Arts production, it was produced by Pawan Kumar and had story by Bimal Dutt, with dialogue by Rahi Masoom Reza. The music director and lyricist was Ravindra Jain. The main stars were Shatrughan Sinha and Aparna Sen with a supporting cast consisting of  Utpal Dutt, Asrani, David, Raza Murad, Sudhir and Ritu Kamal.

Shatrughan Sinha's successful debut film in a lead role with director Subhash Ghai's  Kalicharan (1976), had made him popular with the audiences. In Kotwal Saab Sinha plays a morally upright strict police-officer who is out to catch the corrupt politician who is also a smuggler and don.

Plot
Bharat Prasad Sinha (Shatrughan Sinha) is the new Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in town. He has been assigned the task by Police Commissioner Ramesh Kulkarni (Om Shivpuri). The Commissioner informs him that Dharam Kohli (Utpal Dutt), who is standing as an MLA in the upcoming elections, is also involved with smuggling activities. On taking charge Bharat has to suspend Inspector Thakur (Manmohan) for corruption charges and being in league with Kohli. Bharat now takes charge as Inspector, keeping his real identity a secret, he is then informed by sources about Mahesh (Sudhir), one of the Kohli's (also referred to as Don) henchman. He goes to arrest Mahesh at his house where Mahesh stays with his mother and sister. There Bharat has a confrontation with Prabha (Aparna Sen), who is a family friend. Aparna stays as a lodger with a kind-hearted old gentleman, John Fernandes (David). Mahesh goes to Prabha's room at night and tries to get her to take a letter to his mother which will be collected by Kohli's men. Prabha refuses saying she won't be party to any of Mahesh's wrongdoings. The conversation is overheard by Bharat and his team, who arrest Mahesh as soon as he leaves the premises.

Bharat has Kohli arrested but has to let him go when Kohli suffers a minor heart attack and is rushed to hospital. Bharat decides to work undercover, and working covertly in tandem with the Police Commissioner, he officially resigns from the police force. The town people side with the Don-politician and refuse to help Bharat now that he's no longer a police officer. Looking for accommodation, he reaches Fernandes' house where Prabha stays as a lodger. The honest Fernandes and Prabha are soon won over to Bharat's side and he starts staying there as a lodger.

Prabha is sent a false telegram by the Kohli's men stating her mother is ill; they then inform Bharat that Prabha is in danger. Bharat goes after her and they reach Prabha's mother's house. There Bharat discloses his feelings and asks Prabha to marry him. After marriage, Bharat takes her to his own house where Prabha meets Bharat's sister Saraswati (Ritu Kanwal), who Bharat wants to have nothing to do with. On questioning, Bharat tells Prabha that his sister had an affair with a man and became pregnant before marriage. Aparna pleads that she is now married to the same man and Bharat should forgive her. He refuses to reconcile with his sister, calling her characterless.

On their return to town, Bharat learns that Mahesh has escaped. Bharat lets his co-officer, Inspector Ved (Raza Murad) know that he is still in the force. With Mahesh's help Awasthi (Asrani), working for Kohli, gets hold of incriminating photos of Prabha and Mahesh from their past relationship. He blackmails Prabha to get him a file Bharat has been working on that will help arrest Kohli. When Prabha refuses, Mahesh barges into the police station and informs Bharat about Prabha and his earlier relationship. Bharat is horrified to learn of his wife's affair and when Prabha refuses to answer his questions, he breaks up with her. Meanwhile, Kohli and Awasthi are arrested and brought to the police station. Kohli manages to get hold of Inspector Zaidi"s gun and in the scramble, Bharat is shot. While waiting for the ambulance he asks to see his wife. When Prabha arrives he asks her forgiveness and also tells her to ask Saraswati to forgive him. Bharat survives the operation and is united with Prabha.

Ramachandran stated that both Alaap (Musical Ascent) and Kotwal Saab were "too bad to be true", further citing the probable reason for this by saying that "The confusion that marks his approach to 'Alaap' and 'Kotwal Saab' can only be attributed to his uncertain health".

Cast

Shatrughan Sinha
Hrishikesh Mukherjee cast Shatrughan Sinha in the title role of a police officer. Sinha had switched from playing his trade-mark "slick and polished" negative character roles in the mid-1970s, to play the main hero. His "flamboyant villain" roles had his popularity "soaring high" with the audiences. His successful debut film in a lead role with Subhash Ghai's Kalicharan (1976), turned out to be a "major success" and paved the way for him to work with the best directors of the time. For Kotwal Saab Mukherjee had to focus on Sinha's image "persona". He had to "de-image" him and according to Mukherjee, everything functioned smoothly during rehearsals, calling the acting while rehearsing "excellent". However, in front of the cameras Sinha would be back to "playing Shatrughan Sinha".

Aparna Sen
Aparna Sen, a Bengali film actress, had acted in two Hindi films earlier, Vishwas (1969) directed by Kewal P. Kashyap co-starring Jeetendra, and Imaan Dharam (1977) opposite Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, directed by Desh Mukherji. She was not at ease doing the roles and the films fared poorly at the box-office. According to S. K. Pal in the chapter on Sen titled "Feminist Consciousness in Aparna Sen's Film" in N. D. R. Chandra's book Multicultural Literature in India: Critical Perceptions, Sen found that the focus in Bombay films was more on glamour than on acting. However, by the time she did Kotwal Saab she had become "much more comfortable" with the system and more confident in her acting.

Reception
Kotwal Saab was described as an average film by Film World and was not a commercial success at the box-office. However, the film has been cited as one of Aparna Sen's "popular" films.

Soundtrack
The music composition and lyrics were by Ravindra Jain. The singers were  Asha Bhosle and Hemlata.

How Military Research Finds Its Way to Everyday Life
George Putic
Sometimes simple scientific advances in one field can have value far beyond their intended use. Many of these advances can change the world and possibly help solve our biggest problems. One example is 75-years-old this year and was made at the onset of the World War II.
Many people around the world use a microwave oven every day, not knowing that a crucial part of it was once a top military secret.
In 1940, the situation in Europe was desperate. German forces were preparing for the invasion of Britain while U-boats were decimating the convoys bringing supplies from the United States.
In September of that year, a high-level British scientific delegation traveled to the U.S. to ask for help in manufacturing several secret inventions, including a revolutionary vacuum tube that could create microwave emissions, essential for building more efficient radars.
According to Larry Schuette of the U.S. Office of Naval Research, the result was a revolutionary breakthrough.
"The advantage of microwave radar, which allowed the use of parabolic antennas that we see today, fundamentally changed radar from the lower frequencies and all the advantages that going to the higher frequency provided," Schuette said.
A new tube called cavity magnetron enabled radar operators to distinguish between individual aircraft as well as submerged submarines, helping to change the military situation.
But just as it changed the course of the war, the magnetron soon changed the course of cooking around the world, becoming the primary component of today's microwave oven.
A group of British, American and Canadian civil and military scientists recently gathered in Washington to commemorate the mission that brought military secrets to the U.S. They reconfirmed their commitment to cooperation in search for new technologies with potential application to everyday life.
Rear Admiral Mathias Winter, Chief of Naval Research, said that scientists are collaborating in many areas, often just to improve efficiency.
"We're also working in the photonics and high energy, energy density and directed energy research areas, not only for weapons but for energy storage, energy engagement for our ships, for our shore facilities, to bring ourselves to a more efficient footprint."
Hopefully, one of those inventions will change the course of global warming, the same way the cavity magnetron impacted the course of World War II.

Statesman Journal: Candidate has long fought for veterans
Months after the scandal of Arizona veterans dying while waiting to get off of secret waiting lists broke, Congress might finally do something other than blow hot air at the problem.
Watching this scandal, it is hard to have faith government can do anything.
In Oregon, we have not seen the screaming headline of veterans being forgotten, in large part due to the energy and attention of state government over the last decade.
Among the state leaders who ensured Oregon kept its promises to those who fought for the country was Paul Evans. As senior veterans policy adviser to the governor, he worked tirelessly to ensure no Oregon veteran was left behind, just as he did during 20-plus years in uniform.
We're fortunate Paul is continuing his decades of Oregon service — from volunteer firefighting to serving as mayor, as well as teaching Sunday school — by running to represent us in the Oregon House. Born in Salem, he'll bring an intimate knowledge of the needs of our community. He'll do for House District 20 what he did for Oregon veterans, giving us a leader to be proud of and ensuring no Oregonian is left behind.

Ed FitzGerald, the struggling Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, is looking for support from the 87 percent of Ohio residents who say they favor legalizing medical marijuana.
In telling the Cincinnati Enquirer so on Wednesday, FitzGerald parted ways with with most politicians in this Midwest state, a stance that could help give his campaign energy among younger voters.
"There are people that are suffering from conditions that medical marijuana can alleviate, especially those chronic pain types of conditions," FitzGerald said in a telephone interview. "I just think it would show a real lack of compassion if we would continue to deny them that access."
Gov. John Kasich, who has a 6- to 19-point lead over FitzGerald in independent polls, says he opposes legalizing medical marijuana because the overall medical community has remained reticent on the issue.
Even if FitzGerald loses the November election, his support for the issue could help boost its prospects statewide, says Gene Beaupre, a politics professor at Xavier University.
"A campaign is to bring ideas to the surface and have debates and discussions about them," said Beaupre. "That's a good thing."

This collection of essays offers new and challenging perspectives on the history of philanthropy in nineteenth-century Ireland, shifting and extending standard analyses to include state and voluntary philanthropy, relief under the poor law, formal and informal systems of assistance on landed estates, workers' housing and public amenities, and cultural philanthropy mediated through literature, and subsidized art exhibitions for the education of the working classes.

Geary (UCC), Linda King (IADT), Joanne McEntee (ind.), Philip McEvansoneya (TCD), Kevin Mc Kenna (ind.), Eoin McLaughlin (U St Andrews), Conor McNamara (St Patrick's, DCU), Mary Pierse (ind.), Oonagh Walsh (Glasgow Caledonian U).
Laurence M. Geary is senior lecturer in history at University College Cork.
Oonagh Walsh is professor of gender studies at Glasgow Caledonian University.
This collection of essays challenges the view that national identification or religious affiliation provided such a strong focus in the lives of individuals as to render unimportant ties such as those of geography, class, social background and sectional interest. Indeed, power, wealth and influence were distributed in myriad ways in the nineteenth century, often through localized elites or social networks.
This interdisciplinary volume expands the existing literature in this area by moving its focus beyond the intellectual elite and relating Irish scientific activities to the historical study of Irish literature and culture, as well as the context of Victorian science more generally.
This collection emanates from the 2008 Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland Conference.
This volume re-examines the relationship between Ireland and Scotland in the nineteenth century. It questions the received ideas about the extent of cultural harmony between the two countries.
This collection in the Nineteenth-Century Ireland Series focuses on the ways in which visitors to Ireland – but also the Irish themselves – viewed Irish land and landscape.
This collection of essays is published in association with the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-Century Ireland; subjects examined include philologists and universities in Ireland and Germany; Fenianism; mass literacy; Irish reactions to the Franco-Prussian war, 1870-1.
Interesting collection of essays – from academics in Ireland and North America – concerning Irish society, religion and politics in the nineteenth century.
This collection of interdisciplinary essays focuses on the articulation and interplay of 'Irish' and 'British' identities during the Victorian period in Ireland, Great Britain and beyond.
This volume consists of the proceedings of the tenth international conference of the Society for the Study of Nineteenth-century Ireland, held in Dublin in June 2002.
Irish migration has attracted considerable attention in recent years, with many studies examining the impact – physical, psychological and cultural – on emigrants' lives.
The fifth volume in a series focusing on 19th-century Ireland.
This fourth volume in a series focusing on 19th-century Ireland provides multi-disciplinary, as well as interdisciplinary, observations on how the concept of 'region' can be used to illuminate literature, travel writing, politics, legal studies, economic and social history, geography, and cartography.
A selection of papers from the 1996 conference of the Society for the Study of 19th-century Ireland.
Central to literary, social and political writings of nineteenth-century Ireland are arguments regarding men and women's 'proper' sphere. This pioneering volume examines the significance of gender in shaping public and private life during a century of complex and changing power relations. The interdisciplinary character of the collection ensures a rich variety of perspectives.Contributors explore the roles assigned to men and women in political, social and religious institutions and highlight the consequences of these roles. Investigations of the extent to which gender influenced key historical events such as the Great Irish Famine, the 1848 Rising and the Fenian Movement are among the many original insights offered by the volume. Essays range through the central discourses of nineteenth, century Ireland, from political economy and education, to literature and journalism. In an important extension of the literary canon, many neglected writers of the period are restored to attention.
Bypassing current debates on historical revisionism, this book reconsiders the Famine of the 1840s from a variety of perspectives, theological, literary, feminist, demographic, medical, etc., Incorporating these viewpoints with more conventional forms of cultural and political history. In bringing together this range of approaches, the volume constitutes an important contribution to the current reassessment of one of the most traumatic events in Irish history.

The Long Dusty Road
Successful Treatment GSW Without Amputation
medical shareable surgery
Although we usually hear about "all the amputations" that were performed during the Civil War, there were also many cases of successful treatment without amputation. Private Philip Sweeney of the 3rd New York Infantry is one such case.
From the Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion, Volume 3; Part II, page 73-75.
Case 151 - Private Philip Sweeney, Co C, 3rd New York [Infantry] was wounded in the affair at Big Bethel, June 10, 1861, by a conoidal musket ball, which shattered the trochanters of the right femur. He was admitted to Hygeia Hospital, Fort Monroe, on June 13th, and was treated by Surgeon R. B. Bontecou, USV, by moderate extension and dilation of the wound by sponge tents in order to facilitate the extraction of primary sequestrae*, of which many were removed. Suppuration and exfoliation persisted until March 1862. In April, there were two severe attacks of erysipelas, involving the entire limb, which greatly reduced the patient, but he quickly rallied, and in May was able to run a race on crutches with his wounded companions.
He was transferred to Albany in June 1862; but his name does not appear upon the hospital reports until March 1863, when he was admitted to the Ladies' Home, in New York City, where a number of necrosed fragments were removed. On May 25, 1863, he was discharged, being able to walk without a crutch and the limb being but slightly shortened. He soon afterward engaged himself as a laborer at an iron foundry in Troy, NY, where he has since worked without intermission. On July 20, 1866, he was examined by Brevet-Colonel R B Bontecou, who found him in perfect health, the injured limb a trifle shortened, and the knee rather stiff, owing to the destruction of connective tissue....and the formation of adhesions..... By September 1875, Surgeon R B Bontecou certified that "adhesions have rendered the knee immovable and the limb comparatively useless."
*Sequestrum - a piece of dead bone that has become separated from sound bone during the process of necrosis. plural = sequestrae
Reactions: Podad and AndyHall
I thought it was unusual to hear of a "sponge tent" being used to dilate a gunshot wound during the civil war, but doctors may have understood the mechanics of healing even earlier.
In A Course of Chirurgical Operations, Demonstrated in the Royal Garden at Paris, 2nd ed, published in 1733, Pierre Dionis describes the purpose of using a "tent":
"The first is to convey the Remedy [medicine], and keep it applied to the deepest part of the Wounds; The second, to absorb the corrupting Sanies [serum, blood and/or pus discharged by the wound], which easily filter through the Pores of the Tents, by which the Air is also rarified by the heat of the Part: The third is to keep the Wound open, and prevent the Lips re-uniting before the bottom is fill'd [with regrown of healthy flesh]; and the fourth is that of drawing forth the Matter which ought to come out, whence they are always plac'd at the lowest part of the Wound."
Dionis further explains that, specifically, a sponge tent swells with the Humidity [discharge] of the Ulcer and dilates the wound.
So the sponge, inserted into the tract, absorbed the discharge of the wound and swelled, keeping the wound tract open so that healing could occur below. And, in the case of Private Sweeney, so that, as the sequestrae (spicules of dead bone) were sloughed off, Dr Bontecou could easily remove them.

Just ordered a sawmill kit from RSLaserkits. It will need a little adaption to fit my area. Can't wait for it to arrive. This is the initial area I had designated.
Going to give my other fisherman (woman) a catch too. First carving the fish from a very small piece of wood. Then some paint and crushed glitter. A splodge of heavy gloss acrylic get for the place and place the fish in the middle.
Haven't built RSL kit but did use his stairs and jig. Good stuff!
Is your mill going on that slab? Nice work!
Yes it will go on the slab but my idea and the kit are opposite in orientation. Got the kit yesterday and reading the instruction, all 13 pages, it looks like a great kit. I will need to do some "adaption" to fit my area.
saw mill I cut my own floors for their HO and N scale version I sell. Don't like how he makes the builder cut the slots in the plywood and make the board lines.
If you can send me a copy of the floor I will cut one with all the work done. Have not sold a O kit before so had not looked at he directions.
Flipping this left to right is a mind trip to follow the instructions.
Progress so far, all the below floor work done. Working on the log carriage support. Have to go into my woodwork shop and cut some black walnut just to collect the saw dust. Then I will rub it into the cracks of the floor boards and spritz with a little white glue and water.
OK the next process has you cutting 44 5x5s and I can see ahead a lot more precision cuts.So ordered a NWSL Cutter. Meanwhile I looked at the cardboard square for the boiler base. Hmmmm just picked up some hobby 1/16" thick mixed bag of squares. So online search for a brick pattern. First one I choose when burnt on the laser engraver turned out to be the perfect size and scale bricks... No really what are the chances?
Rust powder for the brick color and texture.


For many years, drones were mostly used by military forces for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. However, over the last five years, there has been a massive growth in sales of consumer and commercial drones. Research from Gartner predicts that drone sales will nearly double over the next few years, from $6 billion in 2017 to $11.2 billion in 2020.
Converging the use of blockchain technology with drones offers benefits to the military, consumer, and commercial drone pilots alike. Therefore, with some of the current initiatives in the pipeline, it is possible the market could outpace even these generous growth forecasts.
As consumer drone sales have grown, so has the market for commercial drones. The use of blockchain to create a decentralized drone network opens up a whole new world of potential.
Walmart, for example, has recently made the news due to having implemented blockchain to manage particular parts of its supply chain. Moreover, news has emerged that Walmart has filed patents related to the use of blockchain technology for managing drone fleets.
The company is looking into the possibility of delivery drones, which would be able to recognize one another using blockchain-based identity keys. The drones could then exchange packages and goods, reducing the need for trust in the handoffs within a delivery network. The location data of each package, plus which drones have handled it, would be securely recorded on a blockchain.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office [USPTO] also confirmed that IBM has filed a patent for the use of distributed ledger technology in tracking drones. Such a system aims to address privacy and security concerns that have arisen as commercial and recreational drone use have become more popular.
A blockchain would record the geographical location of a drone and use variable block times to ensure that if a drone is flying into restricted airspace, air traffic controllers could verify whether or not it is allowed to enter.
Many personal drone owners end up finding that they have hours of unused footage from their flights. However, blockchain-based peer-to-peer marketplaces could soon provide a means of earning real income from selling aerial photos or video footage.
As things stand, there is a genuine need for drone footage across a variety of industry sectors including agriculture, real estate, insurance, news, and tourism. A blockchain marketplace could connect buyers and sellers of drone footage, while also addressing the issues of file storage and copyrights.
Soar is one blockchain project aiming to launch such a marketplace in 2019. The company is developing a flexible pricing model, increasing or reducing the price offered for aerial shots and footage depending on the forces of supply and demand.
The marketplace will be purely request-based, and with no commitment on the part of a drone owner. They can merely respond to a request and upload their footage if they wish to. Buyers of drone shots can also offer bounties for footage of specific places or even during specific events such as festivals, or after a natural disaster.
Opening up the market for drone footage to personal drone users also overcomes the issue that, in many countries, commercial drone users have to acquire specific licensing rights to the footage. Personal footage, on the other hand, is owned by the individual.
The world's militaries are still the biggest users of drones, perhaps unsurprising since the technology originated with them. However, blockchain is also providing some practical uses in military drone deployment.
Google came under fire from its own employees earlier this year when the company was discovered to be providing its machine learning algorithms to the US Department of Defence [DoD]. Project Maven accounted for $7.4 billion of DoD spending in the fields of AI and data processing. The Google algorithms were deployed to analyze the vast quantities of drone footage taken by military drones.
Although Google has since withdrawn its involvement, the partnership serves to demonstrate the power of using emerging technology in drone deployment. Adding blockchain into this equation creates some pretty powerful scenarios.
For example, blockchain could be used to power a fleet of drones as part of a decentralized network. By using cryptography, drones could communicate with one another securely, and work in harmony to achieve specific mission objectives. This could allow a military body to deploy many more drones compared with each drone requiring its own individual pilot.
All of the market data suggests that drones are indeed having a moment.
The integration of blockchain technology could now open up entirely new markets, revenue streams, and modes of national defense for drones.


The only place that is closer than Basey's to grab a beer and burger is the concession stand! This family friendly bar and grill will be less rowdy than the typical downtown restaurant. Basey's is a classic, no-frills, affordable spot with amazing food.
A Long Island Pitcher and an order of Pepperoni sticks are always a winning combo! There's plenty of space inside and on the patio but on game days the place will be packed with fans decked out in blue! Kilroy's downtown is 21+. Kilroy's has a really fun and lively atmosphere but is still a bar that is nice to sit and relax with friends.
Walkability to Lucas Oil Stadium: 0.3 mile, 6 min walk.
Indiana's oldest bar has been operating since 1850! Slippery Noodle is part of the classic Colts game day experience. They open at 10 am on game days and minors are welcome before 8 PM.
Walkability to Lucas Oil Stadium: 0.4 miles, 9 min walk.
Located inside of the JW Marriott, High Velocity is an upscale sports bar and grill. This family friendly restaurant still delivers the fun and excitement of a sports bar with a higher end atmosphere and menu. High Velocity is family friendly but will still be loud and packed on game days.
Walkability to Lucas Oil Stadium: 0.8 miles, 16 min walk.
This local sports bar empire packs fans in due to their affordable menu with over 50 items to choose from and 84 TVs. Visitors most enjoy their fried dill chips and large outdoor patio overlooking downtown Indianapolis. Scotty's is a great spot for the whole family to celebrate.


British artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous shared transport company FiveAI is testing autonomous cars in south London.
The company, which seeks to develop a European integrated smart transport solution, is testing five autonomous vehicles in Bromley and Croydon, in advance of planned passenger trials in 2020.
The cars are running day and night with safety drivers onboard. The self-driving systems use data that was gathered in manual tests on UK roads last year.
FiveAI believes that a European solution is essential in a world in which much driverless technology development is being spearheaded by US and Chinese companies. This is because of the more complex environment of "narrow, curving streets, parked cars, cyclists, pedestrians, unpredictable weather, and unique, localised behaviours" that typifies most European cities.
To serve these cities safely, we "must develop highly intelligent and robust tech in Europe for Europe", says the company, which operates from six locations in the UK: London, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, and Millbrook in Bedfordshire.
FiveAI was a member of a consortium of companies that was awarded a £12 million grant to develop the StreetWise autonomous system in 2017, under the government's new industrial strategy and its Future of Mobility vision.
The programme has been welcomed by at least one AI and autonomy expert – Dr Sally Epstein, Machine Learning expert at Cambridge Consultants. She said, "This deployment by FiveAI is exactly the kind of rollout that should be used to move through the levels of automation.
Mapping data will become out of date as soon as it is collected. Street furniture is constantly changing, with roadworks, accidents, and more, while human movements in urban environments will remain stubbornly difficult to predict.
Mapping data alone is not sufficient for the challenge of driverless cars. Maps must be intelligently integrated with sensor data, in order to keep drivers and other road users safe.
Policymakers need to establish how vehicle decision-making will be understood after an incident. There must be adequate transparency in the system for consumers to trust it, she said.
And when fully autonomous cars do eventually arrive, explaining how their decisions are made – particularly following accidents – will be much more important than any statistical proof that they are safer than traditional, driver-operated vehicles.
By some estimates, there are 1.2 million deaths every year on the world's roads – or one fatality for every 1,000 vehicles in use. Human error is responsible for over 95 percent of those accidents.
However, public support for – and trust in – driverless cars has fallen significantly, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), in the wake of a number of fatal accidents last year involving cars that were running under software control.
At present, an overwhelming majority of US citizens – including so-called millennials – would not feel safe in completely autonomous vehicles.


Running the Abbott Dash 5K as part of NYC Marathon Weekend!
First of all, I want to give a big shout out to all of my friends who ran in and completed the NYC Marathon last weekend. Quite an accomplishment. Well done!
Perhaps, this will be a future goal for myself as I progress with my running exploits. We will see!
I have been running 5K races since March of 2016 all around the NYC area, along with a few other cities I have jumped into while on vacation. At first, I had set out on a fitness goal to participate in maybe ten events. The running bug bit me and before I knew it by end of 2016 I was approaching 15 races. The crazy in me decided to keep going and now here I am looking to complete 30 races before end of 2018.

SEC Shuts Down $85 Million Ponzi Scheme and Obtains Asset Freeze
Litigation Release No. 24129 / May 2, 2018
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Arthur Lamar Adams and Madison Timber Properties, LLC, Case No. 3:18-cv-252-DPJ-FKB (S.D. Miss.)
On May 1, 2018 a federal court in Jackson, Mississippi unsealed the Commission's previously filed fraud charges against a Mississippi company and its principal who allegedly bilked at least 150 investors in an $85 million Ponzi scheme. The defendants agreed to permanent injunctions, an asset freeze, and expedited discovery.
The SEC's complaint alleges that Arthur Lamar Adams lied to investors by telling them that their money would be used by his company, Madison Timber Properties, LLC, to secure harvest timber rights from various land owners located in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi, and promised annual returns of 12-15%. But Madison Timber never obtained any harvesting rights. Instead, Adams allegedly forged deeds and cutting agreements as well as documents purportedly reflecting the value of the timber on the land. Adams also allegedly paid early investors with later investors' funds and convinced investors to roll over their investments. According to the complaint, Adams used investors' money for personal expenses and to develop an unrelated real estate project.
In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi yesterday also announced criminal charges against Adams.
The SEC's complaint, filed under seal in federal court in Jackson, Mississippi on April 20, 2018 and unsealed yesterday, charges Adams and Madison Timber Properties with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws, i.e. Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The court granted the SEC's request for an asset freeze and permanently enjoined Madison Timber and Adams from violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and ordered Adams to surrender his passport. Adams and Madison Timber consented to the entry of the court order.
The SEC's continuing investigation is being conducted by Krysta Cannon and Justin Delfino in the agency's Atlanta office and is being supervised by Peter Diskin. The SEC's litigation will be led by Shawn Murnahan and supervised by Graham Loomis, with assistance from Kristi H. Johnson, an Assistant United States Attorney in the civil division of the United States Attorney's Office from the Southern District of Mississippi. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Mississippi and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Joe Cole scores the only goal of the Carling Cup semi Final, second-leg match between Everton and Chelsea at Goodison Park. Everton have not beaten Chelsea since November 2000, a hoodoo of Arsenal vs Spurs proportions. Incidentally, Petr Cech played last night despite his wife giving birth to their first child – who said the Carling Cup wasn't important? Chelsea fans should be thankful for Cech's selflessness – the big goalkeeper was their man of the match, and made several crucial saves in the second half. Credit also goes to Chelsea's back four, admirably marshalled by Ricardo Carvalho.
Chelsea will play Spurs in the final, held at Wembley Stadium on 24 February.

Former Ukrainian Prosecutor: 'No Doubt' Joe Biden Forced Me Out to Protect Hunter Biden

By Charlie Spiering, Breitbart, June 20, 2019:
A former Ukrainian prosecutor general is speaking out after Vice President Joe Biden forced him out of his job.
Speaking to ABC News, former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin said he has "no doubt" Biden wanted him gone to help protect Hunter Biden's employer.
At the time, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings while Biden's son Hunter was on the board earning as much as $50,000 a month.
"Biden was acting not like a U.S. vice president, but as an individual," he said to ABC News, "like the individual interested in having me removed — having me gone so that I did not interfere in the Burisma investigation."
The connection was first revealed in author Peter Schweizer's best-selling book Secret Empires and was featured in reports by Breitbart News.
In 2018, during a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden bragged about strong-arming the Urkanian government.
"If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money." Biden recalled saying, "Well, son of a bitch, he got fired."

, in Shinto and Japanese Buddhism, is the equivalent to the soul or spirit in western culture.

Japanese tradition
When a person dies, it is believed that their reikon will remain in a type of purgatory until they are given proper funeral rites. After which, the reikon will join their ancestors in the afterlife and only returning to the living world every August for the Obon Festival.

Yūrei
When a person dies in an unexpected, violent or traumatic way, the reikon remains amongst the living as a yūrei, or ghost, who must complete an unfinished duty amongst the living or be given a proper ritual to ease its passing into the next world. A yūrei is thought to be produced by violent means such as murder or suicide. These tend to take on a fixed desire emotion such as revenge, love, jealousy, hatred, or sorrow while carrying out their hauntings.

I was looking to see if I could find TFL London bus live times module but there isn't one available! There is a bunch of others for all buses around the world but not for London! There's a tube one but that doesn't help me.
Could there be a particular reason as to why no one has done this yet? I would've tried myself if only I were that savvy.
Could someone please help me with it.
@yawns Thank you so very much. Thats exactly the one. Didn't really occur to me to search for uk, only searched for London. Apologies, should've been more thorough before I posted on to the forums.
No worries, sometimes search does not find threads or posts and I knew this module exists.

The Olympic Men's Singles competition has been decided and a new history was created. Ma Long is now the fifth Grand Slam champion while Zhang Jike settles for silver. As the Olympic Team competition commenced, Ma Long and Zhang Jike proved that there is no bad blood between them. Both of them, together with Xu Xin, started off with an imposing sweep against Nigeria.
Even before the Games started, the head coach of the Chinese Team, Liu Guoliang has been expressive about pressure in the Olympic Games.
"Our pressure for this Olympic Games is extremely big. Its the largest ever," said Liu Guoliang.
China has already established a very strong presence in the sport. Since 2008, their men's team has already practiced sweeping all the golds. So, what's with the pressure?
Liu Guoliang answered that pressure comes from all aspects, not just from the expectation of the outside world but also from the demands of the team. Of course, pressure also comes from upholding the glory of the Chinese Team.
"People who don't understand us will think that it is easy. Actually, the moment that all people would think that there are no problems, that's the time pressure becomes larger," the head coach added.
Last August 11, after the penultimate round of the Men's Singles, Liu Guoliang felt relieved from pressure knowing that he has already completed his mission.
"Whoever wins will still create a new history," he said.
The new history created was the fifth Grand Slam champion in the name of Ma Long, who imposed his authority and power over his compatriot and also a Grand Slam champ, Zhang Jike in four straight games in the highly anticipated Olympic finals.
Despite the reassuring feeling of knowing that both of his players sealed the final seats, Liu Guoliang was aware that there is a certain hint of cruelty in such situation. "It is a kind of happiness, and its also cruel," He admitted.
Following the Singles, the Olympic Team competition commenced and the Chinese Men's Team achieved a successful start, scoring an imposing sweep over Nigeria.
Xu Xin pulled off a 3-0 against Segun Toriola while Ma Long gave away one game to Quadri Aruna in 11-6, 11-3, 5-11, 11-2. Zhang Jike and Xu Xin partnered for the Doubles and ended the round to their favour in 3-0.
He also clarified that he and Zhang Jike are prepared for this situation and they will continue to support each other in the team competition.
China will face Great Britain in the quarterfinals. It is worth nothing that the latter surprised the French Team in an action-packed opener. Would Liam Pitchford and company be able to come close to challenging the defending champions?
Stay tuned with the latest results here.


When you've been involved in a car accident, it is important to find the right Tampa car accident lawyer for your case. It is essential to know your options when searching for the right lawyer to represent you.

Does the law firm I'm interested in specialize in the type of case I'm involved in?
