You may be forgiven if the name George Scott fails to ring any bells in connection with Liverpool, Shankly, and those famous glory days of the sixties and seventies. However, here is a man who was an unseen 'cornerstone' of the fabulous cathedral that is Anfield.
George Scott emerged from the tunnel onto the Wembley pitch and into a wall of sound. "I remember walking up the Wembley pitch with Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Peter Thompson an hour and a half before the game. Bill looked at the masses of Liverpool fans behind the goal and said to Bob Paisley. "Bob we can't lose for these fans, it is not an option" The hairs still stand up on the back of my neck today when I think about it."
The date was May 1965, and that afternoon, Liverpool Football Club was about to claim the F.A. Cup for the first time in its history.
"In January 1960 at the age of 15 I travelled to Liverpool from Aberdeen to sign for Bill Shankly as one of his first young players. I remember getting off of the train at Lime Street Station and being met by Joe Fagan who was then the youth team coach. We got in a taxi and drove up the famous Scotland Road where Joe told me there was a pub on every corner and not to visit any of them ever. We soon arrived at 258 Anfield Road where I was to share lodgings with two other apprentices, Bobby Graham and Gordon Wallace, both of whom later went on to play in the first team.
My first wage as an apprentice professional was £7.50 per week of which I gave £3.50 to my landlady for my lodgings and sent £2.00 per week home to my Mum in an envelope to help the family out. I was left with £2.00 per week which was enough in those days for a young man to have a great time for a week in Liverpool, including being able to watch the Beatles start their career playing live in the Cavern in Mathew Street.
In May 1961 outside the secretary's office I found a complete record of the week's wages to be paid in to Barclays Bank in Walton Vale for every player and member of staff at Anfield. Unbelievably the total wage bill for every player and all of the coaching and managerial staff in the Liverpool Football Club was five hundred and thirteen pounds, thirteen shillings, and two pence old money.
After a two year apprenticeship, I signed full time professional forms on my 17th birthday on October 25th 1961. I made my reserve team debut along with Tommy Smith, Chris Lawler, Bobby Graham and Gordon Wallace as part of a very young Liverpool reserve team in the semi-final of the Lancashire Senior Cup against Manchester United reserves at Old Trafford in 1962 playing against some great old United players such as Albert Quixall, David Herd, Jimmy Nicholson, David Gaskell, Barry Fry and Noel Cantwell.
Alongside Tommy Smith, Scott became a key member of the 62-63 youth team, helping them to reach the final of the youth cup were they were beaten in a high scoring encounter by a West Ham side aided and abetted by one Harry Redknapp.
Scott's goalscoring performances saw him progress smoothly to the reserve side. "During the next three years 1963, 1964 and 1965 I went on to make 138 appearances in the reserve team at Anfield, scoring 34 goals."
George Scott today, proud of his memories
Scott was destined not to make the starting eleven on the historic day in 1965 when Liverpool won the FA Cup for the first time. Keith Peacock's appearance as the first ever substitute to see action in British football was still some three months away but Liverpool's 12th man, on that never to be forgotten spring afternoon, had good reason to look forward to the coming season as the one in which he would make his longed-for breakthrough. After three profitable years plundering goals in the Central League George Scott was on the brink of the first team after a run of form that had taken him within an ace of the '65 cup winning team.
"I can still remember the train journey home. We celebrated and drank champagne out of the cup and from Crewe onwards you couldn't see any buildings for the flags and banners. At the Town Hall reception Shanks addressed the mass of people who had come out to greet us and the noise was terrific. There must have been half a million people in the streets of Liverpool that day. I stood behind Shankly on the town hall balcony as he made his speech to the thousands of supporters congested in to Water Street below and it was absolutely electrifying. At the time I was in digs with the great Liverpool winger Peter Thompson and when we eventually got home to our digs that evening I found a letter from the club waiting for me from Mr Shankly. I opened it thinking that I had been permanently promoted to the first team squad and that 1966 would be my big breakthrough year. I was brought right back to reality when I saw that the letter stated that at a board meeting of the Directors of Liverpool FC it had been decided to place me on the transfer list."
"On the Monday morning I barged into Shanks' office distraught. He could see I was upset and asked me what was wrong. 'I've come to ask you about this', I said, and Shanks asked me what I was talking about. I showed him the letter and said: 'I'm the leading scorer in the reserves and I've just been to Wembley.' He replied, 'Pay no attention to that letter, son.' I was puzzled. Here I was absolutely shattered and Shanks told me not to worry. Then he added, 'I'll give you five good reasons why you should leave this club.' 'Five,' I thought, what's he talking about? 'Callaghan, Hunt, St. John, Smith and Thompson' said Shanks. 'If you want to progress, it's time to go.'"
Shanks' reference for George, written in 1966
It's a moot point whether Shankly, knowing the board were letting Scott go, deliberately made him 12th man in the cup final to soften the inevitable blow that was to follow. Certainly, he was full of understanding and sympathy for his young protege.
"He could see I was upset and he came round from his desk and put his arm round me. 'George, I want you to always remember that at this particular time you are the 12th best player in the world. Now go back to Aberdeen and prove it.'"
Scott had gone into the office devastated and received confirmation of what he had dreaded, yet had come out feeling 10 feet tall.
"It wasn't just the words, it was the total conviction in the way he delivered them that had the effect. Another thing he said to me was 'You're like the cornerstone of the Anglican Cathedral. Nobody ever sees it but without it the cathedral doesn't get built.' He was referring to the fact that I was one of his first signings. I don't know how he thought these things up, or whether they were off the cuff but he knew how to deal with people."
Liverpool had agreed a £12,000 fee with Aberdeen to transfer George Scott's services and Scott found himself back at the club he had initially turned down as a schoolboy to join Liverpool.
"Shanks had been on the phone to the Aberdeen manager Eddie Turnbull and done a real sales job on me. I was happy to go to Aberdeen as it was my home town club.
"In hindsight, the pivotal moment of my career came in the summer of '63. Liverpool went to the U.S. for a pre season tour and I'd got all kitted out with a club suit and so on. Then I got injured just before we flew out. Shanks was disappointed and told me I had to stay at home. He went and bought Phil Chisnall from Man Utd and I think really that was the moment my big chance came and went."
Scott's contemporaries from the youth and reserve team years, Smith, Lawler, Graham, Thompson, Byrne, Arrowsmith had all made it to the first team yet through a combination of bad luck and a lack of opportunity, Scott never did.
"He strode in, thumped the desk, smashed a cup and came round criticizing each one of us close to our faces. When he got to me, I just laughed out loud because I thought he was a madman. He went totally ballistic. I just couldn't take on board this man getting so worked up about football. I'd love to say I got swept along with the Shankly era at Liverpool, but really I can't say I learned anything. It's quite sad, but I didn't."
PAUL FAIRCLOUGH - was a 16-year-old in Liverpool's C-team in during the mid 60's. After one defeat, Shankly was livid and stormed into their dressing room to tell the youngsters off.

Lip enhancement is one of the most popular procedures world-wide for a reason. Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and voluptuous, natural looking lips are desired by women of all ages. Dermal fillers add volume to thin lips; decreasing lines and restoring your youthful pizzazz! Along with plumping the lips, lip augmentation restores balance to asymmetries, smooths lip creases and fills in vertical 'lipstick' lines.
Who administers Lip Enhancement Injections treatments?
Dermal Fillers, including all lip injections, are administered by trained, certified and registered medical professionals with years of experience in the medical aesthetics field.
What is the recovery time for a Lip Enhancement Injections treatment?
Mild to moderate redness and swelling is expected after a lip filler treatment. Slight tenderness and bruising may occur however, the healing time is minimal. Ice packets are supplied after treatment to reduce possible swelling and Sinecchi Arnica Remedy (available in-store) is recommended to aid the healing process.
The effects of Lip Enhancement Injections are immediate, and can last from several months to over a year.

Green and Violet depicts Ellen Cobden, wife of Whistler's onetime pupil Walter Sickert. Using wide and expressive brushstrokes, Whistler painted his sitter in a black and white dress, the texture and color of which contrast with the softened earth tones of her face and hair. Whistler's wife described the painting as "very pretty . . . It is exactly like her, a funny little fat lady — a very graceful one rather Dutch in character."
Whistler titled many of his portraits with the names of colors, emphasizing their dual nature as both formal studies and likenesses of the sitters. In Green and Violet, the sitter is almost secondary to the overall composition, her mass a counterbalance to the flattened sofa.

Michelle Ho grew up in Australia, the driest inhabited continent, with an appreciation for the value of having a clean glass of water to drink. Now, she conducts research for the Columbia Water Center on America's water systems—specifically the long-term history of water availability through river systems and aquifers. The United States has a well-developed system of dams, reservoirs, levees and other infrastructure that keeps us relatively well-watered. But there are problems, from the Oroville Dam spillway failure in California to lead contamination in Flint, Mich. The aging of our infrastructure points to the need for better maintenance and long-term planning.
In the latest in our video series about Earth Institute researchers, Ho says that while climate change certainly deserves our attention, we need to get moving on even more fundamental issues with our water systems.

'American Sniper': A Cowboys and Indians Tale
In 2006, Clint Eastwood's film Letters from Iwo Jima received many awards, some for Eastwood as the director, others as best picture of the year. Letters is told as a flashback to the battle of Iwo Jima in 1944, provoked when Japanese archaeologists exploring old battle tunnels find a cache of poignant, ambivalent letters written by a junior Japanese soldier, a kind of memoir or time capsule that he buried in the dirt. The film depicts Iwo Jima not from the usual point perspective — that of the Americans — but of the Japanese soldiers that fought it. Eastwood's open-mindedness, his empathy and compassion for people from other times, places and cultures, even our enemies, was, given his history in films, surprising and almost unprecedented in American war films. Almost all the scenes took place among the Japanese, almost none portrayed the Americans. Remarkably, filmed back to back with Letters, Eastwood (now 84 years old, then 75) directed Flag of Our Fathers (2006), the life stories of the six men who raised the flag in the iconic photo of American victory. Despite his skill, Flag was basically another stereotypical war story filmed from the American point of view.
Letters was not surprisingly welcomed by Japanese audiences and critics who thought Eastwood portrayed the Japanese war mentality as it was, for better and worse, at least not all bad. The young soldier's ambivalence about Japanese warrior intransigence (fanatical, no surrender, committing suicide to avoid it), implied that Japanese soldiers were not each and every one the ruthless torturer characters presented in Hollywood's imagined World War II. American audiences, on the other hand, stayed away. Letters, which cost $19 million to produce, failed even to earn back the production costs ($13.7 million) in American theaters, saved by $55 million revenues abroad. But American critics thought the film one of the best of the year, even a classic. Flag of Our Fathers, as to be expected, took American theaters by storm and the critics praised it heavily.
I thought of these Eastwood films after seeing his new runaway success, American Sniper, acclaimed by the public and the film critics. As everyone knows, this is the story of Chris Kyle, the most successful sniper in American military history, four tours in Iraq. He's a hero but not a simple one on a white horse. He knows his first responsibility is to protect his comrades and this means killing bad guys, not to worry about just war principles. Kyle's view of his part in the battle is or should be a source of at least some disquiet for American audiences though it hardly ever is. Kyle represents the long-time Eastwood character of the anti-hero (he played many in his time). He is our protector, simultaneously good and bad with the good outweighing the bad. Kyle does the right thing for the right reasons — war is war and its object is to kill the enemy. Nevertheless there's something a little raw in the fact that he has no regrets at all, or at least he says so. It should raise a moral intuition when he says that there's no problem in the killing, he doesn't really think about it. He's "proud of every shot he fired." He's doing a justified job, there's no dilemma for him even when those he kills (as in the film's initial sequence) are women or even children, because by carrying explosives they were putting his guys in mortal danger.
The fact is that Kyle really loves this war, its danger and battle and killing; that is, he loves war itself. War is the lyrical moment in his life, where he excels and has true purpose, the reason he can't be happy back in civilian life even with a loving family. (Post-traumatic stress disorder is another issue.) We understand this very well, it's the core of our classic depictions of war beginning with the Iliad. Some soldiers just love war and they must. They are warriors, they are courageous; they do what warriors do and are proud of it. It requires an act of imagination on our part to realize they would do the same if they were fighting on the other side.
War is the most extreme human situation, the place where the highest honor is to be won (as Aristotle said, among so many others) because war means facing the greatest danger. War is a normal if not continuous characteristic of civilization, not to dwell on it. Warriors represent the best among us at protecting the homeland and the character of our society. Yet, as J. Glenn Gray said in The Warriors: Reflections on Men in Battle, their very courage means the human damage done in war is worse than necessary, war lasts longer than necessary. But without its warriors a society "would lose heart."
Nevertheless, war is killing. It is justified killing, yet even justified killing constitutes a form of evil — but it's the lesser evil and living with it is the moral burden soldiers accept to carry for the rest of us. Killing the enemy in war is not murder either in international law or just war principles. Living with your part of the mayhem debilitates many veterans. Some can't deal with it; others commit acts of crime; a few even commit suicide
What's perplexing about Sniper is that, unlike his story of the Japanese army in Letters, Eastwood's empathy for the other side is nowhere to be seen or felt. The Iraqi jihadis, or just Iraqi civilians, have no memorable faces other than, perhaps (even though he's on stage for only a few seconds), "the Butcher," their ace sniper who is killed by Kyle. The jihadis attack or retreat, kill or are killed, seeming to run around in a kind of mad courageousness. How or why they fight in such apparent disorder is not a matter in which Eastwood is much interested. Sniper is disappointing because it's a throwback to the old cowboys and Indians films of the 1920s-50s in which the white guys, the settlers, circled the wagons and the Indians attacked on horseback riding around in a circle getting shot or in Hail Mary attempts to break through. Beginning in the counter-cultural 1960s and above all as a consequence of Vietnam, the sure-thing cowboy-Indian paradigm needed revision. At that historical moment, American hero films became anti-hero films: the Eastwood cowboy films, his Dirty Harry films, the Sergio Leone films, The Godfather or even the James Bond films.
So the American public needs another sequel from Eastwood. If he has the energy (and we wish him well) he ought to make another back-to-back film depicting the Iraq insurgency this time from the point of view of the insurgents obliged on the battlefield to deal with fearsome American military technology. Such men are capable of savage acts against people and of destruction of world-historic treasures. But they are also patriots in their own minds, purist fundamentalist warriors whether religious, nationalist or ethno-sectarian. And I include even Islamic State in Syria/Iraq, the current worst of the worst. Islamic State represents a descent into barbarian depths that we must investigate if only to fight them more effectively. It's not enough to ask about jihadis, in the stereotypical American way, "Why do they hate us?" and to answer "They hate us because of our values."
Eastwood or some other gifted director should focus the other side in constructed portrait shots, studies in character, as he did with Kyle, creating a story depicting the range and complexity of motivations and, where they exist, ambivalences. Bin Laden is an obvious choice. Is it unthinkable to suggest a film focused on the Butcher, or — an almost unbearable thought — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or even "Jihadi John"? No doubt. Public empathy has limits.


A main full-band LTE antenna combined with an Rx-diversity antenna which is used to resist the fall of signals caused by high-speed movement and multipath effect. Basically, it improves the receiving signal quality and this antenna directly fits Quectel EC25 Mini PCle 4G/LTE Module.
That has two LTE antennas at the same time in a single form. One of them is LTE primary, the other one is LTE diversity. The diversity antenna improves signal receiving sensitivity and signal quality. It's a kind of flex PCB (FPC) and can be folded for tight spaces. Also has adhesive tape on the back for fixing it on boxes/enclosures.
It will work perfectly with Quectel EC25 Modules.
Yes, it is compatible with EC25-AU.

United States adds India to steel tariff dispute at WTO

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has complained at the World Trade Organization about Indian tariffs imposed in response to U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs last year, a WTO filing showed on Thursday.
The dispute follows similar complaints against China, the European Union and others who retaliated in the same way, saying the U.S. tariffs were essentially "safeguard" measures that should be accompanied with a balancing cut in trade barriers on other goods. The United States says they are not safeguards.

Easy Like Sunday Morning [MINA]

Ophelia had been pleasantly surprised to receive Mina's text suggesting they should go out to brunch sometime. In fact, the girl couldn't have had better timing; she had been strolling the beautiful neighborhood of Notting Hill one morning, and she had found the most adorable cafe that served the widest variety of brunch she had ever seen. Pastries, doughnuts, crepes, waffles, pancakes, french toast, sausages, bacon, fruits, quiches….the menu seemed to stretch on and on, Ophelia could barely take it all in. She wondered if perhaps having such a large variety of menu choices would backfire on them, but upon glancing inside, she could see that people ordered something different from their dining partners each time, so that everyone could try a bit of everything. Knowing Mina also had a large appetite, Ophie made reservations for them here for the following Sunday, and that was before she had noticed the place boasted bottomless mimosas as well.
At eleven o'clock Sunday morning, Ophelia appeared at the restaurant. She had cut her hair short, just above shoulder length, to try something new. She had paired her new haircut with a red and white polka dotted shirtdress with short sleeves and black pumps. She had a white knit shawl draped around her elbows, in case the cafe was cold, but she didn't think she'd end up needing it. She waited eagerly to spot Mina, and found it rather ironic that she was excited to have brunch with the girl. When she had been Dakota's pregnant lover, she thought Mina had hated her. If only Dakota could see them now...wherever he was. She still worried after him of course, he had been a big part of his life. Hopefully, if something had happened to him someone would tell her.

The blaring alarm clock coming from her phone had Mina jolting awake, causing her dog to hop up and down on the bed a few times, excited for the sudden movement from her human. Pillow pulled over head to drown out the ringing, the snuffling of Titania's nose under the edge of the pillow finally forced Mina to flail for her phone in order to turn the alarm off. Except it wasn't an alarm, it was a notification. For brunch. With Ophelia. Swearing a few times under her breath, she groaned. This had sounded like a great idea earlier in the week, when she was starving at work and craving breakfast foods. The mere thought of food currently had her stomach reeling. The hangover was real, and feeling like it was not going to be going away any time soon. She had stumbled back into her apartment around four in the morning, which was only – looking at her phone's clock – six hours ago. In an hour, she was expected to be cleaned up and meeting Ophelia, and before that could be done, she had to manage the pounding in her head and take the dog for a walk. Moving quickly was going to hurt a lot.
Lying in bed for another ten minutes, Mina finally forced herself up and out into the kitchen, downing two glasses of water and eyeing the bottle of whiskey sitting in their bar area. It was called a bar, but it was mostly bottles of Cal's wine. If they were to ever compare how much alcohol the two of them consumed in a week period, Mina was positive her sister would be surprised by the outcome. Being a social alcoholic was far different from being a functioning alcoholic. Needless to say, Mina brewed a travel mug of coffee with her wand in a matter of seconds, filled the remaining quarter of the mug with the whiskey. Hair of the dog, or whatever it was they called it. People got trashed at brunch all the time, so if she could make it look like she was fine until that point, everything would go smoothly.
Forty-five minutes later, a concoction of coffee and whiskey in her stomach, a content pooch, and a still throbbing headache, Mina found herself at the agreed upon brunch place. Ophelia was easy to pick out, and Mina hoped desperately that the other woman wouldn't yell in her direction or come running up to her for a hug. That was the last thing she needed right now. Making her way over, she raised her hand in a half-assed wave. "Morning," Mina yawned, the action sending another throb through her head. This was one gnarly hangover.

Ophelia smiled as Mina came over, smelling the whiskey before noticing the tell tale signs of a hangover. Ah, perhaps her newly minted friend would not be partaking in the bottomless mimosas today. In usual Ophelia standard, she stepped forward and gave Mina a quick hug. "Interesting night?" she asked as she stepped back, though she knew the answer was likely 'yes'. Brunch food would be good for her right now, she decided. A nice greasy bacon sandwich with more bacon on the side likely. Eggs and toast wouldn't hurt too; carbs were much needed in a hungover state. "They have some wonderfully greasy options on the menu!" she exclaimed, trying to keep her voice at a low level so Mina's obvious headache wouldn't get much worse.
They entered the restaurant where Ophelia had made the reservation, and a maitre d led them towards the back corner of the room, which was mercifully more quiet than the front, where what looked like a small bridal shower had set up shop. They sat down, Ophelia giving Mina the booth seat which would likely be more comfortable to rest her head back up against than a chair, and pulled the menu closer to her. "To start, we'll both have water, and I'll do the bottomless mimosa," she decided; she hadn't had more than a glass of wine before settling into bed with a nice book last night, so she felt she was perfectly fine to indulge. She raised a brow towards Mina. "What are you thinking today?" she asked her, curious to see what direction she'd go in.
Post by mina pandora oliveira on Aug 28, 2018 21:56:18 GMT -7
Mina let out a weak laugh at the concept of having an interesting night. "Can't remember. I know I got back around four…and that's about it," she explained as she reciprocated Ophelia's hug, her voice coming out in a harsh rasp. That was one clue right there – loss of voice meant she had been in a club for a significant amount of time, possibly screaming at the top of her lungs while ordering more booze at the bar. The sudden realization that this hangover was going to take the entire day to go away made her groan, eyes slowly dipping as she yawned. Work was going to suck tomorrow. She could already tell. A wasted Sunday like this meant sleep was bound to be miserable, even if her entire body was exhausted from recovering. It happened every single time, and she had yet to learn from her mistakes. "Good. I need grease and fat." And more alcohol. The prospect of bottomless mimosas, which Ophelia ordered as they took their seats, Mina fluttering behind her the entire way there, was so enticing that she held up her index finger to the waiter to indicate that she wanted one as well. She was already a glass or two of whiskey in, mimosas wouldn't hurt her at this point. "Honestly, sausages and bacon. Pancakes too, maybe." Pulling the menu in front of her, Mina flipped from page to page, not really registering anything on it. Focusing on something only made the headache worse. "Yeah…the three pancakes with double sides of sausage links and bacon…" It hurt to walk, talk, and think. This sucked.

Ophelia smiled and shook her head. That sounded about right; the last time she had ventured out with Mina they had gone to a diner around three in the morning for pancakes and cheese fries, and the other woman had mentioned that it wasn't her first time in the diner that early. "Well I'm glad you were able to make it for brunch with little old me," she said with a big smile. The first round of mimosas came, garnished with raspberries and signalled for the waiter to give them a moment as she lifted her glass to clink with Mina's (gently of course). "To Sunday brunches with friends," she toasted, taking a refreshing sip of the drink.
Once their food was ordered, a small basket of pastries was brought over to supplement them while they waited for their food. Ophelia lifted the baskets' cloth cover and smiled a little. The pastries reminded her of her patient and new friend Aaron, whose mother had, according to him, owned the best bakery in Greece while she was alive. She decided on the currant scone, and plucked a pat of butter to spread on it before lowering the cloth back onto the basket. "I made a friend at work the other day, he came in for treatment but nobody was available so...I helped. IT wasn't super tricky or anything...but anyway, his mum was a baker, so these sort of remind me of him." She shrugged a little, then sombered up. "Sorry, it's not like we're dating or anything," she said quickly, not wanting to insult Dakota even though he was a million miles away at that point. Why shouldn't she date again? They had ended things after the miscarriage, and it wasn't like she owed him a lifetime of chastity. She took another sip of her mimosa and ate her scone in silence. "How is Callisto?" she asked conversationally, deliberately steering the subject away from her ex-partner.
Post by mina pandora oliveira on Nov 13, 2018 22:16:29 GMT -7
The most Mina could muster up was a weak smile in response to Ophelia thanking her for showing up, putting any more into it would only cause the headache to radiate through her jawline and up to her temples. She hated that the simplest of tasks became almost impossible to complete due to the pain. Waking up still drunk was way better, only because she could continue the drinking until she sobered up properly, avoiding the hangover altogether. All she could today was drink and drink, and drink some more, until it disappeared. She held her own glass up to Ophelia's, tapping it in return before succumbing to the drink. "I needed this," she sighed in relief as the faint taste of champagne hit her tongue. "If I hadn't had this today, I would have been nursing a glass of whiskey already." Unfortunately she was being honest about that, assuming Callisto didn't forcibly remove the bottle from her hands first.
Food orders out of the way, Mina eyed the basket of pastries that were added to the table. Hopefully this place wasn't the kind of restaurant that would take them away once the real food arrived. She hated that. She would go out of her way to hide all of the pastries (or bread) from the server if it came down to it. Even letting Ophelia go first was tough to do, Mina deciding to bide her time with a long sip of her mimosa. "Does the hospital know yet?" she asked as Ophelia finished her story. "About the thing?"
Mina's hands dove into the basket, not really caring what it was that they pulled out. Most food was fine in her books, her iron stomach used to years of eating junk to soak up the inordinate amounts of alcohol. Random pastries were nothing compared to her cheese fries-pancake combo. "Cal is doing well. The guy she's seeing is pretty funny. He's a professor at Hogwarts," she explained nonchalantly, biting down on her chosen pastry. She continued, through a mouthful, "Think he teaches Transfiguration or something…"
Post by Ophelia Mae Teller on Dec 18, 2018 10:33:59 GMT -7
Ophelia shook her head, still smiling at her new friend. "Champagne and orange juice is far better for a hangover than straight whiskey," she commented casually, daintily sipping from her own glass. "Plus, the food here is so delicious, it'll be sure to cure anything you have going on in your head," she said brightly, propping up the menu. "Mmmm. It all looks just so delicious," she said, wishing she could order everything on the menu and not vomit spectacularly on the pavement after. "I think I need to go with the sausage gravy and biscuits, they may look unappetizing but my word they're to die for," she decided, closing her menu with a sense of finality. She would also get a side of fruit and yogurt too, to balance out the calorie heavy laden meal she was about to consume.
Ophie gave the waitress her order and waited as Mina filed her own. She took another slow sip of her mimosa as the woman walked away, careful to pace herself so she could get home in one piece later. "Yes, the hospital knows about the 'thing', but they don't abuse it or anything of the sort. I just sort of know when I'm needed and when I'm not," she confirmed, making the quotation marks with her fingers and giggling. She wasn't about to mention Brandon Fisher, the one person who had been less than amenable to her gift than she had thought. She leaned her head to the side, mildly surprised to hear that Callisto was dating someone. Not that Callisto was undateable or anything like that. She was always kind to Ophelia, before, during and after everything that happened with Dakota. She did seem however to have a bit of a wall that went up sometimes; she was happy to hear that someone had made it through. "Transfiguration? Oh, hopefully he's better than the professor we had during our time at Hogwarts eh?" she said with a chuckle. After McGonagall had moved up to Headmistress, they had had an interim professor, and while he had been an excellent Transfiguration pupil, his teaching skills had been...less than adequate. "What about you? Seeing anyone lately?" she asked Mina, eyebrow raised with the faintest trace of a smirk gracing her lips.

Mina wasn't so sure that champagne was a better cure than whiskey was – the goal was to delay the hangover and she wanted to get it done quickly, not have to drink a lot for it. But today was different than normal and food was involved, so mimosas it was. A change of pace had yet to kill her, so there was that. Ophelia had the menu open and Mina mimicked her moves, not really caring what she put in her stomach. Food was food, and the heavier it was the better she was going to feel at the end of it. "You don't say?" She mused, refusing to pull her eyes away from the menu. Her interest was piqued by the gravy biscuit thing, but the menu had a lot going on and she liked her options. In the end it would probably be whatever Ophelia picked, only because she had yet to steer Mina in the wrong direction when it came to food. "Yeah I guess I'll do the same," she said with a finality, snapping the menu closed and handing it over to the waitress. Callisto would be proud of her, taking care of her body after totally abusing it the night before.
Ophelia answered the question about the hospital, explaining that they were respectful of her using the power, or whatever it was. Mina didn't really understand why things like they suddenly manifested, and why her only super power seemed to be the ability to drink way too much and still be alive the next day, usually only to repeat the process the following weekend. Her liver was going to kill her someday, if her sister didn't first. "He's the funny man in our comedy duo. I like him, but I had no idea Cal was into that. Apparently responsible funny is better than whatever I am," Mina shrugged. Irresponsible, immature, immoral, and a lot of other things. That was what Mina was. She wouldn't have it any other way though. "And no kidding! He was terrible. Like I wasn't the best student in the world, but not knowing how to transfigure a bird into a quill until fifth year? We didn't need to spend four years covering the basics."
She let out a snort when the other woman asked her if she was seeing anyone. "To what degree?" Mina teased. "No, nobody. Cal has a hard time differentiating the random hook-ups, so I think she thought there was someone for a little while. But nope! I don't have time for that sort of thing." Commitment to her meant giving up things she liked in life. Would a significant other let her booze all weekend? Probably not. Settling down wasn't her definition of fun in the slightest, nor was staying in when she could go out. Seeing someone wasn't in the picture at all.

Ophelia just smiled and took another sip of her drink as Mina ordered the same. "You won't regret it!" she promised. She listened as Mina talked about Callisto's new beau. She had to agree; while she hadn't known Callisto all that well before she started up with Dakota, she was a very serious, dry humor type of woman. "Well they do say opposites attract you know," she commented with a small shrug. A dose of the kind of humor Mina was talking about would do well for Callisto; she knew she had been taking care of Sebastian ever since Sarah had disappeared to who knows where, and Ophie...well, actually, she would be in the same position if it weren't for her miscarriage. A cloud passed over Ophelia's eyes for a moment, then cleared up. It wasn't worth bringing up the past; nothing could change what happened that day. "I'm glad Cal has found someone to spend time with, especially if he makes her happy." Ophelia meant it too; Callisto had always been supportive of her and Dakota, and she wasn't one to beat around the bush with anything. Ophelia appreciated that there was someone in her life that would do that for her. "And I'm glad he is a better than our old Professor, what an old toft he was," she added with a laugh.
Ophelia merely shook her head as Mina told her there was nobody in her life right now. "Ah Mina, don't ever go changing and go all boring on me please," she said, raising her glass in a toast before finishing it off. The waiter brought over their food and whisked off to get Ophelia another drink. "Mmm, smells so good!" she declared, picking up her fork and knife. She cut off a bit of the biscuit and blew on it a little to cool it off before popping it into her mouth. "Oh, that hits the spot!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening at the savory sensation her tastebuds were feeling. "So...hypothetical question," she began casually, taking a sip of her newly made mimosa. "If...I started dating again...would you be okay with it?" She wasn't going to mention Aaron; they weren't official or anything close. But she did find herself wanting to spend more and more time with him, so who knew where this would lead. She wanted to be respectful of Dakota and his family though; they had almost had a child together after all. Koda probably had found someone else at this point anyway, so hopefully Mina wouldn't have a bad reaction.

Maybe Ophelia was right and opposites did attract…or poor Callisto had a nasty case of Stockholm syndrome and only knew how to live when she was being stressed by a ridiculous person with a sense of humor. Mina like to think it was the latter, because then she felt better about herself. "Me too! Gets her off my back about a lot of things. She's finally learning how to relax a bit." Relaxation used to mean kicking her feet up and drinking a bottle of wine. Mina partook in that occasionally when her taste buds and stomach could handle the drink, but it was nice to see her sister actually becoming a human for once. Robo-Callisto was finally starting to disappear and it couldn't have been for a better reason. "Next thing you know she'll be kicking me out so she can have her space," Mina laughed, only realizing after she said it that it would mean her having to locate and pay for her own apartment. That was a scary thought and she sort of liked having her sister to lean back on when things got tough. Being yelled at was fine in those situations.
"I'll try not to," she tossed a wink at Ophelia as their food was placed in front of them. They were extravagant dishes; laid out in a way that made her head spin while she tried to decide what to put in her stomach first. Food like this was made for idiots like her - the ones coming off of a hard night that wanted to keep drinking but socially had to disguise it as a reason to eat as much as possible so they didn't come across as alcoholics. It was a perfect cover. She mumbled a few words of praise about the food through a full mouth, but didn't say much else while consuming it, opting to listen to Ophelia's question.
There was going to be a point where the other woman had to move on. Dakoda had abandoned her, if that was the right way to put it. He had abandoned all of them. Mina knew what being selfish looked like because she saw it staring back at her every morning in the bathroom mirror. Never in a million years did she think that her brother had the same bone in him. "Of course I'd be fine with it," she said honestly. "You're only young once. That's my motto," Mina offered before shoving another piece of food into her mouth.
Post by Ophelia Mae Teller on Jun 26, 2019 9:40:20 GMT -7
Ophelia smiled, reassured by Mina's words. "I know it's silly to think that Dakota would be angry but what we had was ...passionate," she said, delicately leaving out any details Mina would certainly NOT want to hear about her older brother. "I know I need to move on with my life though; I'm only twenty five after all, I'm not DEAD. I do seem to have a certain...affinity for wolves though, if you catch my meaning," she said with a wry chuckle. She had no idea what it was about werewolves; perhaps it was the dangerous, almost bad boy vibe they gave off. Whatever it was, it drew Ophelia to them like a moth to a light. "Who knows where it may lead though, possibly nowhere, or a night of passion before saying farewell." Ophelia shrugged again. Time would only tell what would happen.
The waiter came over with the check, which Ophelia promptly paid without a moment of hesitation. "This one is on me," she declared, narrowing her eyes as if inviting Mina to challenge her. "I'm sure you'll repay me when we go out clubbing again sometime soon," she added with a smirk.
go ahead and end this it's long past its' time!
Post by mina pandora oliveira on Jul 16, 2019 15:42:33 GMT -7
If she had been taking a drink when Ophelia said that she had a thing for werewolves, she probably would have spit it out all over the table. That was the first she had ever heard of that kink. Like yeah, werewolves tended to be in better shape and all that, but Merlin's beard she didn't need to know that sort of information. "Well, they have that hotel or whatever in Horizon. I don't think loitering around it trying to find your next piece is the best idea but…yeah," Mina said as she slowly lifted her fork up to take a bite of her food. "Or if you ever get a hankering for the friendly long toothed pale people, they're right next door." She spent enough time in the shopping districts that there were definitely the usual suspects always wandering around the hotel and blood bank. "I like my muggles," she suggested in between chewing. "Easy to avoid once you're done." Callisto probably hated hearing her talk like that, but it was better than having some undesirable hanging around all the time trying to get her attention. She had enough with weirdos sticking around the bookstore too much.
"Thanks. And you know I will," Mina said as Ophelia paid for the meal. There would be more than a repayment at the clubs, since she tended to gravitate towards getting as many free drinks as possible. "Well, you know where to find me whenever you want to go out again. Before and after the holidays, please. Because we're about to get slammed in the next month or so…" she shivered at the thought of the sales and crowds that Flourish & Blotts was about to be subjected to. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sleep the rest of this hangover off," Mina said as she gave the other woman a wave before leaving for home.
[The End]


China has kicked off war games simulating an invasion of Taiwan, witnesses and a Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper said yesterday, as military chief Jiang Zemin (江澤民) vowed to attack the democratic country by 2020.
China believes President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) will push for formal statehood during his second term, and is preparing for a possible showdown with Taiwan.
The week-long land, sea and air exercises started on Dongshan island off China's southeastern coast in the first half the month after months of preparation, the Ta Kung Pao newspaper said.
About 18,000 troops were taking part in the exercises, which would aim for the first time to demonstrate air superiority in the Taiwan Strait, the paper said.
But it was business as usual for Dongshan residents.
"I can see ships and soldiers, but it's far away ... I have no time to watch the exercises," a resident who would only give his surname, Chi, said by telephone from Dongshan.
"Why worry? There are exercises every year," he said.
A hotel employee said: "It's a secret. We're not allowed to watch or ask questions lest we're mistaken for spies."
Dongshan, 280 km from Penghu, has been the site of eight drills since 1996, when China attempted to interfere with the nation's first-ever presidential elections by launching ballistic missiles into the Taiwan Strait, before backing down after the US sent two aircraft carrier battle groups to the region.
The period "before or after 2020 is the time to resolve the Taiwan issue," military chief and ex-Communist Party chief Jiang told a recent expanded meeting of the Central Military Commission, the decision-making body of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po newspaper said.
The meeting also approved military, political, logistics and armament development plans over an unspecified period for the 2.5-million-strong PLA, the newspaper said. It gave no details.
Mainland Affairs Council Vice Chairman Chiu Tai-shan (邱太三) called for negotiations and peace.
"We need to sit down and discuss any problems concerning both sides. We must try to resolve our problems on the basis of peace and stability," Chiu told a news conference.
"The United States, Japan and the European Union have all said cross-Strait issues should be resolved through peaceful means," he said. "Communist China has pledged to focus on economic development. The report clearly violates its policy."
Taiwan is holding the annual Han Kuang, or "Han Glory" exercises later this month to test combat readiness in the face of what Minister of National Defense Lee Jye (李傑) has said was a significantly higher likelihood that China would use force to recover the island.
In Washington, Pentagon officials said a crisis-simulation drill based on a growing Chinese military threat to Taiwan was played out this week by US decision makers.
The exercise, called Dragon's Thunder, was held on Monday.

In a story Monday, Datebook reported that PBS television personality Robert X. Cringely had served as "acting assistant professor" at Stanford under his real name, Mark Stephens, after receiving his doctorate there in 1980.
It turns out that Stephens, who as Cringely hosted the 1996 PBS hit documentary "Triumph of the Nerds," inflated his resume. As Cringely, Stephens had claimed that he was a former Stanford professor both on his World Wide Web site at www.pbs.org/cringely/bob.html and on two book jackets. He told The Chronicle that he finished his doctorate in 1980 and taught at Stanford until 1983. When told last week that he didn't appear in Stanford records as either a former professor or a lecturer, he said that he had been an acting assistant professor.
Yesterday, a Stanford spokeswoman said Cringely received a master's degree in communication in 1979 but never completed his doctorate. Steven Chaffee, professor and chair of the department of communication, says Stephens "would have known he was a teaching assistant."
Stephens says he finished his dissertation and was asked to make changes to obtain his doctorate but didn't follow through. "Obviously, I should have fixed the paper," he says. "I was just so tired, and I wasn't aiming for an academic career."
At 8 p.m. November 25, Stephens as Cringely appears again on PBS with "Nerds 2.0.1," which traces the history of the Internet.

If randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are to fulfill their potential to allow health care providers to make informed inferences about the validity of the trials upon which they base their clinical practice, then the reporting of key methodological factors must improve. The revised Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT) were developed to improve the suboptimal reporting of RCTs. We aimed to determine the extent to which RCTs report key methodological factors included in the revised CONSORT recommendations following publication of these recommendations. We conducted an observational study of RCTs published between July 2002 and June 2003 in 5 leading general medicine journals. We determined the proportion and 95% confidence intervals of RCTs that reported sequence generation, allocation concealment, randomization implementation, blinding status of participants, health care providers, outcome assessors, and data analysts, sample size justification, method of analysis (e.g. intention-to-treat), and a participant flow diagram. We included a total of 253 RCTs. RCTs reported: sequence generation 80% (95% CI 75-80%), allocation concealment 48% (95% CI 42-54%), randomization implementation 55% (95% CI 49-61%), blinding status of participants 40% (34-46%), health care providers 17% (95% CI 13-22%), outcome assessors 47% (95% CI 41-53%), data analysts 15% (10-19%), sample size justification 83% (95% CI 78-87%), method of analysis 87% (95% CI 83-91%)), and participant flow diagrams 86% (95% CI 82-90%). Although reporting of some CONSORT recommendations is high, reporting of several essential recommendations remains suboptimal. Authors need to comply with and journals need to enforce reporting of the revised CONSORT recommendations.


They cite s climate of distrust after they denounced the sexual abuse of nuns by clergy.
VATICAN CITY — The founder and all-female editorial board of the Vatican's women's magazine have quit after what they say was a Vatican campaign to discredit them and put them "under the direct control of men," that only increased after they denounced the sexual abuse of nuns by clergy.
The editorial committee of Women Church World, a monthly glossy published alongside the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, made the announcement in the planned April 1 editorial and in an open letter to Pope Francis that was provided Tuesday to The Associated Press.
Scaraffia told the AP that the decision to leave was taken after L'Osservatore's new editor, Andrea Monda, earlier this year planned to take over as the magazine's editor. She said he backed off after the editorial board threatened to resign and the Catholic weeklies that distribute translations of Women Church World in France, Spain and Latin America, told her they would stop distributing if she weren't in charge.
In a statement, Monda denied having tried to weaken Women Church World and said that he merely tried to bolster other female voices and viewpoints on the pages of L'Osservatore. He said he always guaranteed the magazine's autonomy, and limited himself to suggesting ideas or possible contributors.
Scaraffia launched the monthly insert in 2012 and oversaw its growth into a stand-alone Vatican magazine as a voice for women, by women and about issues of interest to the entire Catholic Church. Women Church World had enjoyed editorial independence from L'Osservatore, even while being published under its auspices.
In the final editorial, which was sent to the printers last week but hasn't been published, the editorial board cited L'Osservatore's initiatives with other women contributors that they said constituted competing points of view "with the effect of pitting women against one another," with the magazine's editorial staff considered no longer trustworthy.
"Now it seems that a vital initiative has been reduced to silence and that there's a return to the antiquated and arid custom of choosing women considered trustworthy from on-high, under the direct control of men," read the open letter, signed by Scaraffia.
The departures are the latest upheaval in the Vatican's communications operations, following the abrupt Dec. 31 resignations of the Vatican spokesman and his deputy over strategic differences with Paolo Ruffini, prefect of the dicastery for communications.
Scaraffia, a history professor and journalist, was perhaps the most high-profile woman at the Vatican, an avowed feminist who nevertheless toed the line on official doctrine. She frequently ruffled feathers, though, with her lament that half of humanity – and the half most responsible for transmitting the faith to future generations – simply is invisible to the men in charge of the Catholic Church.
The articles on the religious sisters struck a chord globally, giving voice to suffering that has long been silenced because of nuns' vows of obedience, their ingrained deference to clergy, second-class status in the church and fear of shame, scandal and reprisal.


Ahead of the 2019 general elections, political activities have picked up with political parties and aspirants for the various elective positions at the state, and federal levels putting finishing touches to their strategies to emerge victorious in the elections.
But we are worried that the ground norm which will regulate the conduct of next year's poll, which is the Electoral Act has yet to become a legal instrument following the withholding of assent by President Muhammadu Buhari to the amendments proposed to the extant Act by the National Assembly.
Twice now, the President has refused to sign the amendment to the Electoral Act into law, first by opposing the sequence of elections as ordered by the National Assembly, and secondly, objecting to sign the amendment into law based on what he termed drafting issues in the document forwarded to him for assent.
What this means is that in the event the amendments to the extant Act fails to become law, then the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will have to rely on the provisions of the extant law with its perceived imperfections in conducting the 2019 elections.
We therefore, caution that the Presidency and the National Assembly should put their houses in order and do everything humanly possible to resolve the current impasse over the Electoral Act (amendment bill) to save the electoral process and democracy in Nigeria.
The declaration by the Presidency on Monday, that the Card Reader was not included in the latest Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill is baffling.
If card readers would not be used for the polls, then what becomes of the permanent voters' cards (PVCs) that INEC is issuing to potential voters.
According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, it was the omission of the card reader from the amendment bill that informed Buhari's not assenting to the bill.
He said, "For the avoidance of doubt, I hereby state expressly that the card reader provision addressed by Section 49 of the principal Act was completely, expressly and unequivocally excluded.
That it takes the Presidency almost a month to detect that the amendment bill didn't provide for the use of the card reader in the general elections and that it had drafting issues leaves room for speculation in certain quarters that there is an alleged grand design to consign the Electoral Act (amendment bill) to the dustbin and ultimately, jeopardize the conduct of free, fair and credible elections in 2019. But we are of the opinion that there is no evidence to back such a bogus claim.
We therefore urge concerned stakeholders to prevail on the Presidency and the National Assembly to end the avoidable logjam and uncertainty surrounding the Electoral Act (amendment) Bill by doing all within their powers to end the current impasse and restore the grey areas in our electoral process and save the nation's democracy in the national interest. A word is enough for the wise.


These Collage Ideas Are Fun and Creative.
Some Collage Ideas to Unleash Your Creativity!
Are you looking for some collage ideas to get you started with this interesting method of composing artworks?
The word 'collage' comes from the French verb 'coller' meaning to stick or to glue. An artwork can be built up using a mixture of coloured papers, fabric, paint and photographs, as well as found objects to create an artwork that has texture, depth, movement and a sophistication born of experience.
Here you see part of one of my large paintings titled 'From the Islands', a mixed media piece using paper, acrylic paint, dyed paper and silk, which captures a scene near Low Isles in tropical North Queensland, as brightly coloured mangrove leaves are carried out to sea on a waning tide.
Often mixed media artists will use a mixture of drawing, painting and collage techniques in the development of their artwork.
Collage making has the advantage that items such as pictures from magazines, your own paintings and drawings, newspaper cuttings, dried plant materials, in fact almost anything, can be played with and assembled, then changed around for the best effect before being glued into place. Creativity then comes as your collage ideas begin to form and you play with the subject, the colours, shapes and textures that have become your artist palette.
This painting is basically a collage with all the fish, a photograph of the dreaming woman, corals etc all being separate paintings, cut out and glued together for a three dimensional effect. The sarong worn by the dreamer is actual silk.
It tells another, more recent story. A group of artists had gone out on the island lagoon in a small dinghy to observe the coral spawning. Some of the more intrepid swam back for shore, in the dark, heading for the lighthouse.
It's not just the coral that spawns but fish, snails, oysters and all manner of worms. The water is luminescent and thick and cloudy with all this activity so Chris was ready for a good rest, which is how I photographed her after she had showered. See the fish nibbling her toe? This seemed a subject brimming over with collage ideas!
Try positioning your torn up magazines, photographs and drawings on top of a section of a painting. Does their juxtaposition enhance the point that you are trying to make? Is it now more meaningful or descriptive? Add your final shape or item – perhaps a seashell, feather, even a coin if these objects add to the meaning of the whole.
Change the positioning until the composition looks just right, de-clutter and…glue. Be sure to use an acid-free glue that is compatible with your other papers if you want your artwork to last.
Collage online: if you are comfortable with making digital art, what could be more fun than manipulating parts of photos, drawings and scanned paintings to make a virtual collage?
This painting, 'The Blue Table' examines the idea of the loneliness and isolation of lighthouse keepers' wives living on the island in by-gone days when communication was through passing sailing ships and the occasional letter from 'the old country' delivered overland by horses or T model Fords then by dinghy!
Collage techniques that I used involved photographing actual pieces of broken crockery found on the island's beaches, working into them with coloured pencil for a 3D effect, taking 'rubbings' from old bottles also found there, writing an imaginary letter and photographing it at an angle along with cut up pieces of a scanned and printed image of an old plate from my mother's youth. The whole was then arranged as part of a painting of the table and the ocean and mainland beyond.
Also known as montage (or photo-montage) various collage techniques were used by exponents of modernism, particularly by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.
Collage making could almost be considered as a form of bas-relief sculpture whereby collage ideas are used with to wood, found objects and bark. So the differences between a collage painting and sculpture become blurred.
Photo-montage or photo-assemblage is a variation on the collage making process. Cut up and cut out printed photographs are assembled, the final result then being re-photographed to make a finished piece.
This process is used, of course in advertising and other digital art through computer graphics programmes such as Adobe Photoshop.

Missouri Parents Who Watched Beating Can't Go to Their 'Demon' Child's Funeral, Judge Rules – Yahoo! Voices
Warning: This report has graphic descriptions of violence
The parents who allegedly looked on as their 4-year-old daughter was fatally beaten and dunked in icy water by neighbors bent on removing a perceived "demon" have been denied permission to attend the child's funeral.
Mary Mast, 29, and James Mast, 28, of Lincoln, Missouri, pleaded not guilty to child-endangerment charges on Monday related to allegations that they allowed their neighbors to conduct a "religious-type event" that resulted in the girl's death, according to local media reports. The couple's newborn and 2-year-old son were placed into temporary foster care after the Masts were taken into custody, according to a news release by Benton County Sheriff Eric Knox.
Neighbors Ethan Mast, 35, (no relation to the parents), and Kourtney Aumen, 21, were charged with second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree assault, and sexual abuse for the child's death last week. Both families are members of the same church, which has not been identified. None of the accused have lawyers, according to media reports.
Officials said Ethan Mast and Aumen told investigators that they used a leather belt and a wooden spoon to beat the child and her toddler brother in order to remove "the demon" before taking her to a nearby pond on a day that temperatures were barely above freezing.
Authorities say James Mast told investigators that the beatings had gone on for around two weeks and that they had been forced to perform "sexual acts" on their 4-year-old with a "foreign object" or they would be beaten or "go to hell." They say Ethan Mast and Aumen watched them on surveillance cameras inside the home but turned them off when they came over to beat the family they deemed "possessed." Ethan Mast and Aumen deny the charges and say the videotapes of the couple beating their own children prove their innocence.
According to court documents obtained by KRCG, Mary Mast said she also dunked her daughter in the icy pond in an attempt to get rid of her supposed demons after she had been convinced that she, too, was possessed and that her 4-year-old had essentially inherited the devil from her. When asked why she allowed this to happen, Mary Mast told investigators, "This has been a huge God thing that they convinced us of."
The sheriff's department listed the charges on its Facebook page. "Mary was charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First Degree Resulting in Death (Felony A) and Domestic Assault in the First Degree (Felony A)," the Benton County Sheriff Facebook page states. "James is being charged with Endangering the Welfare of a child in the First Degree Resulting in Death (Felony A) and Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First Degree Resulting in Serious Physical Injury (Felony B)."
Both individuals are being held without bond until a Jan. 5 bond hearing, the sheriff says.
Benton County Sergeant Chris Wilson investigated the scene and wrote in the probable cause statement that he asked the girl's father "how he could let people do this to his family and he stated that they were told his wife had a 'demon' inside her and her children would end up just like her if it was not taken care of."
The sheriff cautioned that the church did not condone the events leading to the child's death. "I have received many letters, calls, and emails of concern regarding this child's death and the surrounding circumstances to be the actions of a cult," the sheriff wrote in the news release. "During interviews with investigators and the media, there have been some references to God and demons… The investigation done so far indicates that this is an isolated incident, NOT the actions of a cult."
The dead child was found covered with dark purple bruises and ruptured blisters inside the parental home on Dec. 20, though it is unclear when the child died. The child's parents and her 2-year-old sibling were also beaten by the neighbors and told police that they were told they would be shot if they tried to intervene.

a) Describe how the object is translated (the brown one is the preimage and the pink one is the image). b) Is the image congruent to the pre-image? Transformations which produce an image congruent to the preimage are called "rigid transformations." That means if I transform (or move) a shape, but all of the measurements stay the same, it's a rigid transformation. Is translation always a "rigid translation?" Be prepared to discuss why or why not.
Use the line tool to draw lines connecting the points on the preimage to their corresponding points on the image (specifically, points A, B, C, and D). What is the slope of all of these lines?
Have you figured out a relationship between the lines and the transformation yet? Translations occur along lines that are ___________ to each other. This makes the slopes of the lines ___________.
Good work so far! You are well on your way to becoming a transformations wizard! Ready for your next spell? Check your answers, then move on to Exploring Translations 6.

Leo Szilard Boyhood House, Budapest
In a story-book house, in a prosperous kingdom, when a century was new, lived a unique little boy...
Leo Szilard later recalled it this way: "I was the oldest of three children, and we lived in a house which belonged... originally to my grandparents. Then it was inherited by three sisters, of whom my mother was one, and each sister had a whole floor. It was a house with a large garden in the cottage district of Budapest."
The house still stands, at 33 Városligeti Fasor. In English, the street would be called City-Park Esplanade. At that time, it was named simply Fasor (Esplanade). Larger image (49 KB)
The house was the result of a closely-knit family and an inheritance. In 1901, Leo's maternal grandmother decided to use a recent inheritance to build a house large enough that her three daughters, and their families, could live with her. The house also was intended to show the abilities of her son, struggling young architect Emil Vidor. He was instructed to create the best and most beautiful house possible. Larger image (32 KB) or Largest image (104 KB)
Construction of the house began in the fall of 1901 and it was completed in December 1902. Louis and Tekla Szilárd and their three children -- Leo, Béla and Rószi -- moved into the 3rd floor. Leo was 4 years old, Béla was 2, and Rószi was 1. In addition to serving as a family home, the house provided office space for the civil engineering practice of Louis Szilárd and the architecture practice of Emil Vidor. (Vidor's name still can be seen above the door to his office.)
Later years would bring financial hardship to the family, but the years of Leo's childhood were prosperous and happy. Behind the house, the large back yard provided a safe place for the children to play. In front of the house, the broad street was lined with chestnut trees and travelled by horse-drawn carriages.
A short walk up the Fasor to the north was the Városliget (City Park), with its amusement park, zoo, and lake. A short walk to the west was bustling Andrássy út, the widest avenue of the city. Larger image (60 KB)
A plaque on the front of the house commemorates its famous resident. "In this house," it begins, "grew up Leo Szilard..."
The house is no longer a private residence. It is now a dormitory for music students (Liszt Ferenc Zenemüvészetiföiskola, Bartók Béla Kollégiuma).
To visit the house, take the subway (M1, yellow line) to the stop at Bajza utca. You will be at the corner of Andrássy and Bajza. Walk southeast on Bajza 300 meters to Városligeti Fasor. The house, at number 33, is near the corner. Please do not disturb the residents.
Szilard quotation from Weart and Szilard, Leo Szilard: His Version of the Facts, Selected Recollections and Correspondence, page 4. Other details are based on interviews with Bela Silard, and on Louis Szilárd, Recollections (English translation by Bela Silard), unpublished manuscript courtesy John Silard.

Life is not practically loan. It is about household, health and fitness, wide range, legacy, profession, and also charity. This means having the available time to do these points. Devoid of having to go to a job each day, free from an employer regulating your time. It means spending even more time with household and individuals close to you, participating in charities and various other service chances, traveling, and also merely having a good time.

Escrow Home loan Definition Escrow accounts are commonly billed together with the home loan settlement. This payment enables the repayments to be spread out over a time period, such as YEAR. The debtor receives a complete expense monthly-- or biweekly, as established by the funding documents-- that consists of the settlement towards the home loan amount, interest as well as other costs, and also the amount due to the escrow account. A rise in escrow causes the general home loan settlement increasing, yet the portion of the expense that approaches the loan equilibrium and rate of interest will certainly not transform on a fixed-rate home loan.
