Wishing With Reservation
Live Like a Stoic
After completing the assigned exercise for today, click here to access the prompt for tonight's reflection and to submit your 1-2 paragraph journal entry.
Try to persuade them; but act even against their will, whenever the principle of justice leads you to do so. But if someone forcefully resists you, change your approach to acceptance and don't feel hurt, and use the setback to express another virtue. Remember too that your motive was formed with reservation and that you were not aiming at the impossible. At what then? A motive formed with reservation. But you have achieved this; what we proposed to ourselves is actually happening.
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 6.50
At first glance, the Stoics' approach to the good life seems to recommend an attitude of resignation and helplessness in the face of obstacles outside our direct control. In a letter to his friend Lucilius, Seneca anticipates this criticism: "Come now," he asks, "do I really give you the impression that I advocate a life of inactivity?" (Letter 8). The Stoics historically were among the most activist philosophers of the ancient world. Seneca was deeply involved in the politics of Imperial Rome while Epictetus, who was born a slave, managed to secure his freedom and set up his own school. Marcus Aurelius himself, of course, had significant responsibilities during the almost 20 years of his reign as Roman Emperor. But how do the Stoics justify such civic engagement, given their views on accepting fate and focusing only on what's under our control?
In fact, a closer inspection of the Stoics' ethical views shows a notable emphasis on the need to effect change in the world, even among things over which we have no control. Their retreat to the internal space of the mind and how we respond to events does not entail a retreat from the external world altogether. Focusing on things within our control, particularly our intentions, allows for the development of motives directed at things outside our control—so long as these motives are formed "with reservation," as the Stoics put it, and the acknowledgement that we don't ultimately have power over how things turn out. What the Stoics stand against are attachments to outcomes that provoke unhealthy emotions (like anger or despair) when we fail to achieve a desired result. In the passage above, Marcus says that forming such attachments involves "aiming at the impossible." When we form a motive with reservation, by contrast, we do so with the understanding that our efforts may not succeed. If our efforts do succeed, we should accept the result graciously. If they do not, we can still carry on.
Today's Exercise
Yesterday you examined the difference between things within your control and things outside your control, and you may have been surprised at how many things fell into the second category. For your exercise today, try out the Stoic technique of "wishing with reservation." Throughout the day, but especially when you see that achieving something you want lies outside of your control, approach the situation with a "reserve clause" by saying to yourself: "I will achieve this, if nothing prevents it."
Consider whether this shift in focus from the outcome of a situation to your expectations changes your view of the obstacles in your path. Consider also whether it changes your view of the outcome itself. Wishing with reservation requires accepting how things are or how they've turned out and carrying on with equanimity. It requires knowing how to adapt to a difficult situation, determining what you can still do, and recalibrating your efforts given the circumstances. In the event that you're prevented from achieving what you wish today, can you "use the setback to express another virtue," as suggested in the morning quote above?

is a Japanese kickboxer, currently competing in the super lightweight division of RISE.

As of July 2022 he was the #10 ranked Super Bantamweight in the world by Combat Press.

Career

Early career

Career beginnings
Nakamura made his professional kickboxing debut against Sota Kimura at Hoost Cup Kings Kyoto 3 on July 9, 2017. He won the fight by a second-round knockout. Nakamura's next fight was likewise with Hoost Cup, as he faced Ryuya at their Kings Osaka 2 event on November 26, 2017. He won the fight by a third-round technical knockout.

Nakamura faced Shun Kongo at DEEP KICK 35 on April 1, 2017. He won his promotional debut by a first-round technical knockout. Nakamura next faced Daiki at NJKF West Young Fight 4th on August 19, 2018. He won the fight by a first-round stoppage, needing just 46 seconds to knock Daiki out with a well placed knee. Nakamura returned to DEEP KICK to face Ryo Sato at DEEP☆KICK 37 on September 23, 2018. He won the fight by a second-round knockout, as Sato's corner opted to throw in the towel at the 1:01 minute mark, following a knockdown. Nakamura faced YO$HI at RKS GOLD RUSH 3 on December 16, 2018, in his fourth and final fight of the year. He won the fight by a first-round knockout.

DEEP KICK champion
His undefeated record, as well as his two victories with the organization, promoted Nakamura to DEEP KICK's top contender at super featherweight and earned him the right to challenge the reigning champion. His fight with Yuki Tanioka was scheduled as the main event of DEEP☆KICK 39, which took place on April 7, 2019, in Nakamura's native Osaka, Japan. Nakamura captured his first professional title via a second-round technical knockout. He knocked Tanioka twice in the first round, first time with a left straight and the second time with a left high kick. Nakamura knocked Tanioka down once more in the next round, before forcing the referee to wave the fight off with a flurry of punches at the 1:31 minute mark.

Kumura made his Rizin FF debut against Itto at Rizin 16 - Kobe on June 2, 2019. Nakamura knocked Itto with a right straight in the first round, before stopping him with a head kick in the second round.

RISE
Nakamura was scheduled to participate in the 2019 RISE World Series super featherweight tournament, held on July 21, 2019, in Osaka, Japan. He faced the more experienced Ryuki in the semifinals of the four-man tournament. Nakamura lost his RISE debut by unanimous decision. Two of the judges scored the bout 30–28 in Ryuki's favor, while the third judge scored the bout 30–29 for Ryuki.

Nakamura faced Hirokatsu Miyagi at Rise on Abema on July 12, 2020, following a year-long absence from the sport. The fight was contested at 70 kg. He suffered his second professional loss, as Miyagi won the fight by split decision, with two judges scoring the bout 30–29 for Miyagi, while the third judge awarded an identical scorecard to Namakura.

Nakamura faced the former Krush Super Bantamweight and K-1 Super Featherweight champion Taiga at RISE WORLD SERIES 2021 Osaka on July 18, 2021, in a -62 kg catchweight bout. The two fighters were engaged in a brief onstage scuffle during the pre-fight face off, as Taiga shoved Nakamura after the latter stuck a middle finger in Taiga's face. Nakamura notched his first victory with RISE, as he won the fight by majority decision. Two judges scored the fight 29–28 for Nakamura, while the third judge scored it an even 28–28 draw. Nakamura came to the next day press conference wearing a cast and revealed that he had suffered a broken finger in training three weeks before the fight.

Nakamura was present in the audience during the RISE WORLD SERIES 2021 Yokohama event and entered the ring after the Naoki and Taiju Shiratori match took place, demanding a title fight. Although he was dismissed by Naoki, Nakamura was later called out by YA-MAN who offered Nakamura an fight in open finger gloves. The fight between the two was officially announced at a RISE press conference on October 13, 2021. It took place at RISE World Series 2021 Osaka 2 on November 14, 2021, and was contested at lightweight (62.5 kg). Nakamura lost the fight by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 29–28 for YA-MAN.

After amassing a 1–3 record with RISE in his first three years with the promotion, Nakamura was booked to face Tomohiro Kitai at RISE El Dorado 2022 on April 2, 2022. He won the fight by a first-round knockout. Nakamura floored Kitai with a left cross in the final minute of the opening round, who had to be carried out on a stretcher. He called for a place at THE MATCH 2022 in his post-fight interview.

At a joint press conference held by RISE and K-1 on April 22, 2022, it was announced that Nakamura would face the former Krush super featherweight champion in a 62 kg catchweight bout. The fight took place on the undercard of the Tenshin Nasukawa vs. Takeru Abema pay-per-view, which took place on June 19, 2022, at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan. Pettas was dismissive of Nakamura in his pre-fight interviews, stating: "Personally I thought I might fight Shiratori...When they gave me Nakamura, I watched his fights and he looked good, but his opponents were weak". Pettas was regarded as the second best kickboxer at 61.2 kg at the time of the fight's booking. Nakamura achieved the best win of his career up to that point, as he won the fight by majority decision. Two of the judges scored the fight 30–29 in his favor, while the third judged scored the bout as a 30–30 draw. During the post-fight interview, Nakamura revealed that he had suffered injuries to his hands.

Nakamura faced the RISE Super Featherweight (-60 kg) champion Chan Hyung Lee in a lightweight (62.5 kg) bout at RISE World Series 2022 on October 15, 2022. At the pre-fight press-conference, Nakamura stated that his fist hadn't yet fully healed from the break he suffered during the Pettas fight, but expected it to heal by October.

La Compagnie, a new business class-only airline that will connect Newark Liberty International Airport and Paris's Charles de Gaulle Airport, was officially announced in New York this week, with flights starting July 11. Founded by industry veterans Frantz Yvelin (L'Avion) and Peter Luethi (Swissair; JetAirways), the carrier will offer four to five weekly flights this summer, building up to daily flights by the end of the year.
The three pricing tiers, which depend on cancellation and change options, start at $1,800, $2,400, and $4,600; there will also be occasional promotions with the hope that the airline will appeal to both business and leisure travelers.
The carrier's only Boeing 757-200—painted in the company's signature blue—has a single-aisle configuration with 74 lie-flat seats, complete with a whopping 62 inches of pitch. (A second aircraft will join the fleet in December.) Other passenger perks include access to airport lounges, two free checked bags, Caudalie amenity kits, personal Samsung Galaxy tablets in each seat, and a menu by chef Christophe Langree of Paris's Hôtel Matignon; complimentary WiFi will be rolled out soon.
According to Luethi, Newark was selected for its proximity not only to Manhattan, but also business centers in New Jersey and Philadelphia. In addition, Terminal B was recently renovated, and immigration is more efficient than at JFK. La Compagnie is still awaiting official approval from the DOT and FAA, but Luethi says it should happen in the next couple of weeks.

John Krasinski Wept The First Time He Heard Emily Blunt Sing
'It was like finding out that your wife can levitate'
By Erica Gonzales
Emily Blunt has a stunning singing voice, but her husband John Krasinski apparently had no knowledge of her vocal chops until a few years ago, when she was filming the 2014 movie musical Into the Woods.
"I had literally never heard her sing a note," Krasinski, who married Blunt in 2010, said in his wife's new Vanity Fair cover story. "I thought that was such a cool gig, but, to be honest, I was really nervous for her." The Office alum even believed he and his wife were "at the same level of singing talent, which is low mediocre."
The first time he heard Blunt sing was during one of her recording sessions for Into the Woods, months after she got the part. When he told the director, Rob Marshall, he'd never heard his wife sing, Marshall was shocked.
"His mouth was wide open. He did not say anything. He just turned to the window, cued the song, the orchestra started playing, and Emily started singing, and I just immediately wept," Krasinski said.
"It was really wild. It was like finding out that your wife can levitate," he added. "It was just like, '"When were you going to tell me this?'"
Blunt has just wrapped up filming another musical, Mary Poppins Returns, which releases this Christmas. But she and Krasinski also worked on their first professional film together, A Quiet Place, which premieres in April. After co-starring with and directing his wife in the thriller, Krasinski had just as much praise for Blunt's acting prowess as he did for her singing skills.
"The air changes in the room when she starts doing what she does," he gushed to Vanity Fair. "It's so honest and so pure and so powerful. It's like a superpower that she can just unlock and do so specifically with not many attempts. For me, I love acting, and I'm so lucky to be doing it. But she's on another plane. This weird intersection happened while filming where I totally forgot I was her husband. I was just watching her performance and was lucky enough to be in the front row."
Excuse us while we swoon.
At the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2017
A Quiet Place also allowed for Blunt to spend more time with her and Krasinski's daughters, Hazel, 3, and Violet, 1. While her husband edited the film, she was able to take the girls to children's concerts and teach them to ride scooters in Brooklyn, where the family of four currently resides.

Massive impact crater beneath Greenland could explain Ice Age climate swing
The serendipitous discovery may just be the best evidence yet of a meteorite causing the mysterious, 1,000-year period known as Younger Dryas.
By Anna Groves | Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Topography under Hiawatha glacier in Greenland, mapped with airborne radar data (1997 to 2014, NASA; 2016 Alfred Wegener Institute). Black triangles and purple circles are elevated peaks around the rim and center. Dotted red lines and black circles show locations of additional sampling.
Kjæer et al./Science Advances
Most of Earth's surface has been plotted, mapped and measured. And along the way, scientists have turned up a plethora of craters big and small. But there was always one major crater missing.
12,800 years ago, during the Pleistocene, Earth was warming up from its last Ice Age. Temperatures slowly rose while glaciers retreated, that is, until something major happened that triggered a cold snap big enough to leave its mark on the geologic record. Over the course of just decades – the blink of an eye in geological timescales – the planet cooled somewhere between 3 and 11 degrees Fahrenheit (2 to 6 degrees Celsius). The resulting period is known as the Younger Dryas, a mysterious 1000-year blip in history.
Many scientists have suggested – with evidence – that the Younger Dryas was triggered by a meteorite impact. But others have held out, suggesting that volcanic eruptions or, what seems to be the leading favorite, some sort of massive freshwater flood temporarily disrupted climate cycles based out of the North Atlantic. But the main reason scientists have been slow to accept the impact hypothesis is simple: There's just no crater.
But research out today in the open-access journal Science Advances suggests that maybe we haven't looked everywhere.
The work, led by Kurt Kjær, professor at the Natural History Museum of Denmark and University of Copenhagen, describes a previously overlooked, 19-mile-wide crater that's been hiding in plain sight in northwest Greenland's Hiawatha Glacier. In fact, it's only about 150 miles from Thule Air Base – the U.S.'s northernmost Air Force base and the place where NASA's IceBridge planes took flight. You can see about a third of the crater's rounded outline on Google Earth.
Could this be the sought-after Younger Dryas crater? That depends on how old it is, but it hasn't been precisely dated yet. Right now, the researchers can only confidently say it's between 3 million and 12,000 years old – definitely from the Pleistocene.
Dating a crater like this is certainly possible, but because this crater is so deep below the ice in such a remote location, the team couldn't exactly stop by to pick up some samples. Kjær says they're working on raising enough interest to embark on the type of field expedition that would be required to core through the 3,000 feet of ice and into the crater itself.
This latest study describes the evidence used to verify that the strange circular feature is, in fact, a crater caused by an asteroid. But early age estimates show that it's at least possible that this is the 12,800-year-old crater that so many researchers have hoped to find for decades. We'll have to wait and see.

How They Found The Crater
The research team wasn't out scouring the globe for craters. They were in Greenland to map Arctic sea ice with NASA's IceBridge project when a string of serendipitous events led to the discovery.
Joe MacGregor, a co-author on the study who works for NASA's IceBridge project, says he was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get involved in the crater project.
To conduct the IceBridge surveys, MacGregor explains, a team flies an airplane over the ice and uses radar instruments to map the thickness. To do this, they must fly at a relatively low altitude. But when they're on their way to a survey, they fly much higher – 10,000 to 15,000 feet – to save fuel. Normally, their radar equipment doesn't work this high.
Hiawatha glacier, just north of their base at Thule Air Base, was a spot they flew over repeatedly while on the way out to their surveys.
"It just so happened that the guys who were running the radars were trying to test the performance at high altitude most of the time," says MacGregor. And, surprisingly, the instruments worked, mapping the glacier in the process.
While looking over the resulting radar-generated map, a few scientists from the team noticed the crater-shaped depression in the Hiawatha glacier.
"There was this big circular feature up in northwest Greenland," says Kjær. "We started to think, wow, could this be right? Could that be an impact crater?"
"Of course then we were faced with the big challenge of finding out if it was actually an impact crater," says Kjær.

As great as it would be to find a giant hunk of space rock or a baby Clark Kent to confirm a geologic indentation's extra-terrestrial origins, scientists are usually not so lucky when examining a prehistoric crater. But there are a number of tell-tale signs that a big round hole in the ground was caused by a meteor impact.
For instance, there are a number of minerals, like quartz, that undergo significant changes in their properties when exposed to the type of physical force and pressure brought by a meteorite. These changes make the minerals in a crater look different from those in the surrounding bedrock.
Andrew Glikson, an earth scientist at Australian National University who studies asteroid impacts, was not involved with this study but "found it to document a bona-fide impact structure."
But others, like David Kring at the Lunar and Planetary Institute remain skeptical. Kring comments that "it is difficult to fully assess the data in support of shock-metamorphism, so I am not yet sure convincing, diagnostic evidence of impact exists." Kring was foundational in confirming the role of the Chicxulub crater's impact event in the K-T boundary mass extinction.
A Younger Dryas link?
The authors, their critics, and their supporters were all very clear about one thing: It is too early to link this crater to the Younger Dryas. But assuming it's a real impact site and if it's later dated to be 12,800 years old, the implications will be far reaching.
If this crater could be dated to 12,800 years old, it could certainly be credited as the Younger Dryas instigator, and would end this decades-long debate.
What's more, because of the crater's location on Greenland's ice sheet, it's possible that the impact could've caused exactly the kind of massive influx of freshwater to the North Atlantic that the Younger Dryas-flood proponents stand behind.
Hitting an ice sheet with a meteorite could cause a number of water-related effects. According to Allen West, retired geophysicist, the impact could vaporize ice, releasing water molecules into the air that would eventually rain back down; it could destabilize the ice such that it slides into the water; it could create icebergs. Any of these, or a combination of them, could have led to a flood of freshwater into the North Atlantic.
There's still much to learn about the new crater, including its age and any impacts it may have had on climate at the time – Younger Dryas or not.
"There's a lot of new potential things to go after here after this discovery," says Kjær.
Regardless of the impact of this specific crater, Kjær says, he's thrilled that the discovery was still possible.
"I think it is just super exciting that given this day and age, 2018, you can still go out in the world and see something that is so big, that nobody has seen before," says Kjær. "The world's surface has been surveyed forth and back with all kinds of things, satellites or whatever, but you can still go out and make such a discovery. I think if I was a young scientist or person wanting to do science, I would say, wow, the age of discovery is still honorable."

The Associated Press reports that the mostly Christian Assyrian town of Bukafa, about 243 miles north of Baghdad, has been returned to the control of its residents. The town was one of 23 captured by ISIS terrorists over the summer. Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters came down from the north and fought house to house against ISIS, finally driving them from the village.
Many of the Christian families fled during the fighting, but now the Kurdish forces have helped about 70 villagers set up a Christian militia, called Dwekha Nahwasha, or "self-sacrifice" in Assyrian. The militia is patrolling the village around-the-clock to deter a further incursion by ISIS, in the hope Christian families will soon be able to return.
We must depend on ourselves to defend our land for now and the future.
His commander is Albert Kisso, 47. Kisso said the Kurds needed local support, and it only makes sense for Christians in the area to take responsibility for providing ongoing protection to the village.
Assyrian Christians are an indigenous group of Iraqi Semites, descended from the ancient Mesopotamians. They speak an eastern Aramaic dialect. Along with the Chaldeans, they comprise the largest group of Christians in the country.
It is the priority of Dwekh Nawsha to protect the sons of this region, as well as the region itself – including its monasteries, churches, artifacts.
We came here … to protect our Christian brothers and their homes. There is constant cooperation and assistance. We are always together.
The Dwekh Nawsha militia members patrol the streets wearing bullet-proof vests and their Dwekha Nahwasha insignia. In order to join, the men must own a weapon. Many in the group said their numbers would be much larger if weapons were available. As it is, they rely for support on donations from Christian charities overseas, and from wealthy Assyrians in Iraq.


The Ten of Wands represents the traveler bearing the last of his burdens. It is large, and almost more than he can bear, but his perseverance has bore him thus far, and it shall bear him over the last stretch.
At the end of his trek lay his reward, for the burden he carries are the fruits of his own labor, and that makes their weight all the sweeter. This tarot card represents the end of a cycle within the Minor Arcana of the Tarot, and thus the end of a journey.
You have reached the end of a journey, bearing your harvest to market. Your goal achieved, you must be careful to remain aware that when one harvest is reaped, you remain responsible for the sowing of the crop of the next season.
Sometimes this requires placing others in command seats, and ensuring that you maintain a balance between work and play lest you become overwrought.
Congratulations! You've recently passed a day of reward, and the completion of a cycle. You have received your rewards, and the moment of respite that follows. But be aware having achieved this, and it's moments past, that it's time to look forward to the future.
The burden is heavy, but you can carry it. This tarot card shows up here when it's crunch time, and it's time to gather your harvest to bring it off to sell at market. Continue on, and soon your period of rest and reward will come, to be followed by new beginnings.
Things may be moving along smoothly now, and they will continue to do so. But the difficult final crunch is about to come. You can handle the burden, but you'll need to buckle down and push through to reap your reward. Hold yourself together, prepare now, and you'll make it through another year.
Sometimes it is habit alone, or a feeling of obligation, that makes us continue to carry a large burden. The Ten of Wands card showing up in reverse position is a warning that you need to learn to delegate effort, or release responsibilities that are no longer yours to carry. It is especially worrisome if you are only continuing to carry these out of a feeling of guilt.
The burden has been carried long and long. Long past it's due, long past your responsibility. It's been weighing you down and doing you no measure of harm. Maybe you've already set it down, but if you haven't, it's long past time for you to do so.
Put down the cross, somebody needs the wood. Whatever this burden is you're carrying, it's no longer yours to carry. Set it down friend, your obligation to it has passed. Delegate it to others, or inform others that it's time for you to pass the torch. Do it without guilt, you have met your obligation.
The time is coming when someone will try to foist a responsibility upon you which is not yours. With the situation being what it is at this time, you're going to be inclined to take it up and carry it.
Do not fall for it, the burden is not yours, and this tarot card appearing is your calling to stand up for yourself and not carry burdens for which you are not responsible.

Former Officer Recalls Police Duty Assignment When Ali Visited Area
Last week, a former President, a U.S. Senator, entertainers, family, friends, and clergy leading various religious faiths said farewell to Muhammad Ali at his funeral fit for a head of state. The former world boxing champ and activist died earlier this month at age 75 of Parkinson's disease. Among the people still recalling memories of their personal and special encounters with the "Greatest" is John Wesley Hill of Norfolk.
Hill, at that time, was one of a handful of African-Americans who had been recruited and hired by the Norfolk Police Department (NPD). There was only one Black female Mary Stauton, he said. According to Hill, Black officers at that time were relegated to serve and protect only people in the Black community. He had served in the U.S. Army as a Green Beret and also had worked as a military policeman.
Four months after being hired and trained in the fine art of urban law enforcement, Hill recalled that he was summoned to the Police Chief's Office. He was told that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would be coming to town and needed a security detail and escort in May of 1966. Dr. King would deliver the installation sermon for his friend Dr. Milton A. Reid, who has been hired as the Pastor of New Calvary Baptist Church in Norfolk.
Dr. Reid was also a leader of the state and local units of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the civil rights group King founded in 1957. In May 1968, Hill again was summoned to the Chief's office and was told he had another special assignment. "I was told that Muhammad Ali was coming to town and the police department was providing a security detail," recalled Hill, who served with the NPD until 1970. "We were told to pick him up at the airport and escort him to various appearances at Booker T. Washington, NSU and other places."
Four years earlier in Miami, Florida, Ali, an Olympic Boxing Champion, had defeated Champ Sonny Liston and taken the heavyweight title. The Vietnam War was ongoing at the time and Ali was rejected by the military draft initially because he tested poorly on its aptitude entrance exam. In early 1966, according to his bio, he was reclassified and Uncle Sam summoned him to serve. But he refused.
At the same time, Ali had joined the Nation of Islam (NOI) and had changed his name from Cassius M. Clay to Muhammad Ali. The NOI's national leader, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, was his mentor, and for a while, he and Malcolm X were close friends. Ali was beloved by the Black community for standing up against the establishment and supporters of the war and exuding Black male confidence.
He was hated by Whites, and some Blacks, especially fellow Black boxers, because some people believed he was an athlete who was ungrateful for the opportunities his skills provided.
Near the end of 1967, Ali was stripped of his title by the professional boxing commission and would not be allowed to fight professionally for more than three years. He was also convicted for refusing induction into the army and sentenced to five years in prison which he appealed and later won.
Hill remembered, "In 1968, he was still a very controversial person and city officials and Black leaders did not want anything to happen to him in Norfolk. Dr. King had been killed in April (one month earlier) in Memphis. I was assigned with another Black officer (James Christmas) to escort and protect Ali and we were excited. But we knew he had a big responsibility because Ali was such a well-known person."
During his day-long visit in Norfolk, Hill recalled, Ali delivered a fiery speech to over 3,000 students and the public at Norfolk State and at several of the local public schools."
He also conducted a series of boxing exhibitions. "He was very thoughtful, humble and down to earth, talkative and friendly," said Hill. "Although he was not boxing, he was still famous. Despite the controversies about him, the people just loved him.
At the time, Hill carried a $2 bill around with him in his wallet. At one point during an exchange with Ali, Hill asked him to sign it and he was happy to do it.
Hill still has that bill in his possession. In 1970, Ali was allowed to fight again, and in late 1971, the Supreme Court reversed his conviction. In 1970, Ali was finally able to get a boxing license again. With the help of a State Senator, he was granted a license to box in Georgia because it was the only state in America without a boxing commission.
In October 1970, he returned to stop Jerry Quarry on a cut after three rounds. Shortly after the Quarry fight, the New York State Supreme Court ruled that Ali was unjustly denied a boxing license. Once again able to fight in New York, Ali fought Oscar Bonavena at Madison Square Garden in December 1970. After a tough 14 rounds, Ali won the fight in the 15th round. Almost a year later, he would lose to Joe Frazier in "The Fight of the Century" which did not end there.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and its commuter rail operating partner Keolis announced today that the Worcester Commuter Rail Line Improvement Project will begin on Saturday, Aug. 25, and continue through Saturday, Oct. 20. This project involves replacing 38,000 feet of rail along the corridor of the Worcester line.
This eight-week improvement project may lead to 5- to 10-minute delays for some trains operating on weekends and some trains operating after the morning rush hour on weekdays. No weekday morning rush hour trains will be impacted.
In addition, in order to accommodate the improvement project and assist customers with planning their trips, three mid-day weekday trains will be re-timed to depart 10 minutes later than the normally-scheduled time.
This work is in addition to 200,000 rail ties and 10 miles of rail that have already been replaced by Keolis and MBTA crews over the last four years. Improvements to this infrastructure help to improve service. For example, the previous work to replace rail ties helped to reduce the impact of heat-related speed restrictions during the summer by 97% from 2015 to 2017.

Mysterious death of Alan Jeal still unexplained four years after his naked body washed up on a Cornish beach
Despite a lengthy police investigation and public appeal, it is still not known how he came to be found in tragic and bizarre circumstances
This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of the mysterious death of Alan Jeal whose near-naked body was discovered on a Cornish beach.
His remains were found by a dog walker at Perranporth, wearing only his socks and one shoe, and with another sock and headphones stuffed in his mouth.
The 64-year-old who lived alone in Wadebridge also had multiple injuries which could not be explained.
Police launched a murder investigation and a public appeal, including on the TV programme Crimewatch, but the death of Mr Jeal still remains unexplained.

He was last seen on CCTV in Truro, Newquay and Perranporth on February 24, 2014. His remains were discovered the following day.
Without any identification, police produced an artist's impression of how he would have looked and his family then identified the remains as Mr Jeal.

The grim discovery sparked much speculation, including a theory that Mr Jeal died as a result of indulging in an act of auto-eroticism which involved putting the sock in his mouth.
The mystery was later featured on the BBC 's Crimewatch programme but police got no closer to solving it. Six months later the trail went cold, with police announcing that they were winding down their inquiries, coming to the conclusion that the death was "unexplained".
Police at the scene on Perranporth beach after the body discovery
For months officers centred their investigation on Mr Jeal's movements on Monday, February 24, 2014 - the day before his body was discovered.
He had travelled by bus through several locations in Cornwall late that day but the reasons for his visits to Truro, Newquay and Perranporth were unknown.
Alleged conman pocketed £37,000 from 'charity' style collection buckets around Cornwall
Monday, February 24, 2014 - 12.10pm: Mr Jeal is seen on CCTV withdrawing an undisclosed amount of money from the Barclays cash machine on Molesworth Street in his hometown of Wadebridge.
Alan Jeal outside Bridge Tools on Gonvena Hill
4.45pm: He is captured on camera again outside Bridge Tools on Gonvena Hill, this time wearing a light-blue raincoat, which has never been recovered, and carrying a rucksack on his back.
He is walking in the direction of the town centre, most likely having left his apartment at St Giles House further up the road. It is believed Mr Jeal then caught the number 594 bus from Wadebridge to Truro.

6.14pm: He arrives at Lemon Quay bus station in Truro.

6.30pm: Still wearing the same light-blue jacket and the rucksack, he is next seen walking towards the public toilets at The Leats. Police believe a man wearing shorts and a waterproof jacket may have seen him and appeal for him to come forward.
6.36pm: Mr Jeal is spotted walking in Boscawen Street.
The figure on the right is thought to be Alan Jeal, in Truro city centre
6.45pm: He is seen talking to someone back at the Lemon Quay bus station. Two other people are also waiting for the bus at the same time. Despite numerous appeals, the three men waiting with Mr Jeal never came forward, much to the disappointment of investigating officers.

Alan Jeal captured on CCTV walking around Newquay town centre
8.16pm: His next destination is Newquay, where he is again captured on CCTV getting off at the town's bus station.
Other cameras then spotted him walking around the town centre, along Bank Street towards Marcus Hill.
9pm: He returns to Newquay bus station.
9.15pm: Mr Jeal catches the bus to Perranporth.
Alan Jeal on CCTV in Perranporth between 10.25pm and 10.27pm, the last time he was seen alive
10.25 to 10.27pm: He is seen for the final time on CCTV. The cameras capture him walking along Beach Road, close to the spot where his body was found.
2pm (the next day): A female dog walker discovers Mr Jeal's body on the sand outside the Watering Hole pub at high tide.
He had suffered injuries to his chest, hand and head, including a flesh wound to his scalp, as well as significant internal injuries. Police said the head injury could not have been caused by drowning or being flung against sand or rock by the sea.
There were signs of possible drowning, although the post-mortem examination failed to establish the exact cause of death, compounding the situation further.
A set of white Apple iPhone/iPod-style headphones were found inside Mr Jeal's mouth, as well as a rolled-up sock. The headphones were looped around the back of the sock and were trailing out of his mouth.
A navy Regatta jacket was also found near his body. Inside the jacket pocket was Mr Jeal's wallet, containing a photograph of himself as a two-year-old boy.

The jacket was not believed to be the same one Mr Jeal was seen wearing on CCTV the previous day, leading police to believe it may have been inside the rucksack he was seen with in Truro.
It is not known if a rucksack and woolly hat, also found on the beach nearby, are linked to Mr Jeal, or if it was the same rucksack he was carrying the day before.
The rest of the clothing he was wearing, including the light blue raincoat, was never recovered.

Police were also unable to locate some of Mr Jeal's other belongings, including a Barclays Bank current account card, a Barclaycard credit card, a Nokia 1110i mobile phone and a third generation iPod shuffle, meaning he might have been robbed.
He had recently purchased a 10kg weighted training vest and 2kg ankle weights, but they were never located. Detectives were unable to establish why he bought the items but the possibility that he intended to use them to drown himself was not discounted.
The discovery of the sock and headphones inside Mr Jeal's mouth was particularly baffling. During the investigation police explored a theory that he died as a result of indulging in an act of auto-eroticism. Parts of the dunes at Perranporth are understood to be used as a site where gay men go to have sex.
Police said they had no evidence that Mr Jeal was gay but issued an appeal to the gay community in Cornwall for any information relating to the death.
A police officer covers Mr Jeal's body
Mr Jeal was born and bred in Cornwall and became a keen surfer while growing up in Polzeath. He spent a lot of time in Perranporth as a young man and had fond memories of the place.
Though unemployed at the time of his death, he had worked in the electrical trade and in scientific research in the past.
Alan Jeal as a young man
He lived a solitary life in Wadebridge, where he moved in 2004, rarely interacting with others.
Mr Jeal had played squash to a high standard in local leagues and was a member of the Oyster Catcher pool team. Other interests included sports cars, photography, bee keeping, mining and mineral collecting.
He read a vast amount of books and was a huge fan of science fiction and detective stories, also enjoying computing, online gaming and computer programming.
Herring gull sniper being hunted by police after third bird is shot down
A friend, Kathy Bassett, described Mr Jeal as a very intelligent man, who had been part of the technician team that helped Peter Mitchell in his Nobel Prize-winning research at the Glynn Research Institute in Bodmin.
In early September 2014, the investigation into the death was scaled back and Mr Jeal's body was released to his family for a funeral.
Four years on, the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Jeal remain a mystery. Investigating officers concluded that the death was "unexplained" and a file was passed to the coroner.

The War on Culture
March 9, 2016 by Ius Gentium	2 Comments
Kia Roberts-Warren
"The destruction of culture has become an instrument of terror, in a global strategy to undermine societies, propagate intolerance and erase memories. This cultural cleansing is a war crime that is now used as a tactic of war, to tear humanity from the history it shares," (Irina Bokova, head of UNSECO).[1]
The destruction and looting of art is a widespread and systematic attack to erase people's memories and identities. The Nazis destroyed and looted hundreds and thousands of books, art, and other cultural relics.[2] Paintings were vandalized during the armed conflict between Macedonia and the National Liberation Army[3] The siege of Dubrovnik, damaging the ancient Mostar bridge, and the Sarajevo national library during the Yugoslav wars.[4]
Terrorist organizations have put destruction of cultural heritage back on the war agenda. Since ISIS' has taken over territory in Syria and Iraq, they have destroyed and looted numerous World Heritage Sites that the group deems idolatrous and blasphemous.[5] A World Heritage Site is determined by United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and is defined as "belonging to all peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located."[6] By historical standards, ISIS' actions in Iraq are "on a rampage of destruction not seen since the Mongol's sacking of Baghdad in 1258."[7]
Temple of Bel (or Baal) in Syria. The Temple was one of the main attractions Palmyra, a Roman-era trading outpost in the desert, northeast of Damascus, Syria
In Syria, ISIS has destroyed the ancient cities of Palmyra, Mar Elian Monastery, Apamea, Dura-Europos, and Mari.[8] In Iraq, ISIS has destroyed the oldest Christian monastery (Dair Mar Elia), Assyrian Empire artifacts in the Mosul Museum, Nineveh archeological site, razed the Tomb of Jonah and other religious sites, Nergal Gate (an entrance to the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh, where the men use power tools to destroy a pair of massive statues of winged bulls with a human heads), and the Nimrud archaeological site.[9]
Moreover, the Sunni Muslim library, the Mosul Museum Library, and the library of the 265-year-old Latin Church and Monastery of the Dominican Fathers have also been heavily damaged. These libraries contained collections from the Ottoman Empire, Iraqi newspapers from the early 20th century, and other ancient texts were burned in the streets.[10] Irina Bokova stated that it was "one of the most devastating acts of destruction of library collections in human history."[11] (You can see video here)
A member of ISIS destroying an ancient Assyrian lamassu (screenshot from an ISIS propaganda video)
Intelligence officials say looting is the terror group's second largest source of income after oil.[12] ISIS encourages civilians to plunder historic sites and then charges a 20 percent tax on anything they sell.
Last February the UN Security Council adopted a new resolution, UNSCR 2199, which was drafted by Russia and co-sponsored by the United States.[13] The Resolution prohibits the trade of artifacts illegally removed from Syria since 2011 and Iraq since 1990.[14] The UN General Assembly, also, passed a resolution called "Saving the Cultural Heritage of Iraq," which states that ISIS' actions may amount to war crimes as well as details about ISIS's attacks on cultural heritage sites and demands its members be stopped and held accountable.[15]
In the wake of ISIS' cultural destruction, Italy has teamed up with UNESCO to create a task force.[16] This task force called The Peacekeepers of Culture, will be a 60-person team of art detectives from the art-squad police from Italy's Carabinieri military police, historians, and Italian-trained restoration experts.[17] The goals of the peacekeepers are to protect ancient artworks, artifacts, and archaeological sites in conflict zones from extremists, protect against "cultural cleansing" and the fear-mongering propaganda, and to cut off some of the Islamic State's funds acquired through the sale of looted artifacts, statues, and other antiquities on the black market.[18] It will establish facilities in Turin, where it will train cultural heritage protection experts. It aims to "assess risk and quantify damage done to cultural heritage sites, develop action plans and urgent measures, provide technical supervision and training for local national staff," as well as help move some objects to safety.[19] The task force has not chosen a country for its first mission but is ready to go where UNESCO sends them.[20]
In April 2013, the Smithsonian Institute created the Safeguarding the Heritage of Syria and Iraq (SHOSI) Project. It provides emergency preservation work, conservation materials, and training to Syrian and Iraqi museums to help salvage damaged collections and sites.[21] In the summer of 2014, SHOSI held an emergency workshop in Syria. One of the missions was to provide equipment and supplies for workshop participants to secure the immovable mosaics collection at the Ma'arra Museum in Idlib Province. This museum housed one of the most important collections of third-to-sixth century Roman and Byzantine mosaics in the Middle East.[22]
This may seem to be weak enforcement on the part of the international community. However, destruction of art is as war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Article 8 (2)(b)(ix) states: "Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives."[23]
Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, on trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague
The ICC is currently hearing its first ever war crime trial addressing the destruction of cultural heritage.[24] Malian Jihadi leader, Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi is accused of destroying ancient mausoleums in Timbuktu, specifically, medieval shrines, tombs of Sufi Saints, a 15th century mosque and over 4,000 ancient manuscripts were lost or destroyed all which were considered World Heritage sites.[25] This case is considered to be an important case at the ICC in fighting against war crimes directed at cultural heritage.[26] The last time a case like this was brought to trial was in 2013 when Balkan warlords were charged with the shelling Dubrovnik in the early 1990s, damaging the ancient Mostar bridge, and the Sarajevo national library by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).[27]
When we think of atrocious crimes committed by ISIS, destruction of art and cultural sites are not on the list. We think of targeting civilians, rape, and general pillage. However, it is important because these sites aren't just the destruction of Iraqi or Syrian history, but, rather history that belongs to the world. These artifacts and sites cannot be repaired or replaced. Once they are destroyed, they are gone completely. To let them perish at the hands of terrorists cannot go unpunished or unnoticed any longer.

During your research, did you form an opinion on why ISIS would tear down historic sites and buildings? Do you think by doing this, they create more fear into people than targeting innocent people and committing massive murders? I'm just curious now on what the purpose may be to loot and sell the paintings and art. Is it just to make a profit? Or do they have another purpose?
Well they claim they destroy what they deem idolatrous and blasphemous to the prophet Mohammed. As to selling it's just to make a profit. But honestly I do think it has to do with creating fear and dispair in people. These things can't be replaced or repaired so destroying these places.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (C.T.S.) is a condition when the median nerve becomes compressed in the wrist. Symptoms often include numbness and tingling into the thumb, index and middle fingers. Traditionally, many people get carpal tunnel syndrome from typing. Many people that apply pressure to the hands and wrists such as massage therapists, bicycle riders, and even chiropractors often developed carpal tunnel syndrome (C.T.S.).
Occasionally scar tissue adhesions can prevent the carpal tunnel from functioning properly. Specific chiropractic wrist adjustments and physical therapy modalities such as cold laser and the Graston Technique are great at removing scar tissue and myofascial adhesions that sometimes cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dr. Brandon Nevel has experience with carpal tunnel syndrome as a certified chiropractic extremities practitioner (CCEP) and sports chiropractor (CCSP). Many massage therapists and chiropractors from Jupiter and the Palm Beach area come to Dr. Nevel for carpal tunnel syndrome relief.
Heal tired and sore muscles with a 1-hour massage therapy treatment. Our licensed massage therapist is trained in various massage techniques. This special is available to new patients/clients only.
Dr. Brandon is so awesome. I had my first chiropractic experience here and it was better than I ever could've imagined. I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in but his warm and friendly staff made me feel right a home. After one treatment my pain was significantly reduced. I was blown away!
This office is outstanding! I thought it was my back from sleeping and it would just go away over time. I should have called sooner to make an appointment! I felt an immediate difference within the first visit. Dr. Nevel adjusted more than my spine, he adjusted my attitude towards chiropractic medicine.
My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Nevel for almost 5 years. He is excellent at identifying underlying problems and carefully resolving them (for me my lower back, for my wife her neck and upper back), providing quick improvement and eliminating any pain we experience. We highly recommend Dr. Nevel!
If you're second-guessing chiropractic this place will make you wonder why you ever did. Dr. Nevel is one of the best chiropractors that I've ever seen and he makes me feel comfortable every time that I walk through the door. He isn't your usual doctor where he just sits there and looks at his watch. He actually spends time with his patients and make sure that you fully understand your diagnosis and treatment. I see him once a month for maintenance to prevent any reoccurring issues. Love this place!
Dr. Nevel is the first chiropractor I have been to, I have always been weary of the practice as a whole. However, he listened to my concerns, and made a wonderful effort to put me at ease and explains everything prior to doing it – he puts up with all of my questions! His staff are very pleasant and always make me feel welcome and that they are genuinely happy to see me. The office is very clean, and beautifully decorated to put you at ease right when you walk in the door! I love the choice of office music – not typical, and I love it!
Dr. Brandon is Great. My wife's neck is always getting out of alignment and he fixes her. She comes home pain free again. That's says it all. Thanks Doc.
Dr. Nevel is the BEST! He was caring, knowledgeable and patient with me; he took it slow (I was afraid of the manipulation procedure) despite his plans to leave the office early for the holiday weekend.. I was visiting Memorial Day weekend when I had excrutiating neck pain and had limited mobility of my neck on Friday morning! I am so glad I found this office. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful; they seemed to truly care about me. I had gentle manipulation, stim, and was kinesio taped. The next day I felt AWESOME, and when the tape came off, no pain at all. When we move to Florida, I will NOT go anywhere else!!!!
If you are in need of pain relief this is where you should come because they AWESOME.
I started seeing Dr. Nevel for sciatica. I had a lot of pain in my leg (thigh, knee & calf) I noticed a big improvement after each visit! Dr. Nevel is professional, and he is also down to earth making you feel very comfortable in his care.
I'm an athlete and being injured was the worst. Dr. Nevel had me back doing what I love within 2 weeks! Staff is great and so is he! Highly recommended!


Gold leaching in thiosulphate media has attracted renewed interest of many researchers over the last three decades due to fast kinetics in the presence of some oxidants/ligands and its adaptability to gold ores which are unsuitable for direct cyanidation. The acidity (pH) and the concentrations of copper(II), ammonia, thiosulphate and polythionates produced by the reaction between copper(II) and thiosulphate and other added background reagents including chloride, carbonate, sulphite, sulphide, phosphate and cations such as silver(I), lead(II) and counter ions of thiosulphate salts affect the rate per unit area and extent (%) of gold dissolution. The literature data on the beneficial and detrimental effects of background reagents on gold dissolution from rotating discs, suspended foils and particles of gold ores/concentrates are reviewed. The reaction mechanism(s) with applications to leach systems are also reviewed and discussed on the basis of the Lewis acid-base and hard-soft properties and interactions of metal ions and anions. These interactions determine the ability of background reagents to affect the residual copper(II) concentration and E H, surface reaction with gold by catalytic action and/or by preventing the formation or removing the passivating layers on gold.
