Joe Weller helped kick off YouTube's obsession with boxing when he fought KSI and lost in front of an arena filled with fans last year. Earlier this month, he took another shot at sparring, and Jake Paul dropped him with a wicked-looking body shot.
But after the video was uploaded to Paul's channel earlier this week, some on the internet theorized that Weller took a dive for money.
After the requisite amount of trash-talking and dancing in the video, Weller and Paul strapped on their headgear and gloves and began sparring in a ring set up outside Paul's Team 10 house. Weller showboated. Paul tried to shove him over the top rope of the ring.
From the footage uploaded to the channels of Weller and Paul, it's clear that Paul has a much better technique than Weller. Then, Paul hit him with a left hook to the body at the end of the first round and Weller crumpled to the canvas.
Here's Weller's video.
And Paul's version.
In his video, Weller said Paul "fully winded me," and that it "hurt a lot." But some on the internet believe it wasn't real (and to be fair, Paul has admitted that many of his so-called past stunts were fake, so he hasn't exactly built up a ton of credibility on this platform).

But Weller and Paul have denied there was anything fake about their sparring session.

"Seeing far too many people genuinely believing I staged to lose in the first round against Jake ffs …" Weller wrote on Twitter. "So annoying cuz I fully wanted to do good but that shot that winded me just was killer even if it did look well pussy … I'd never take money to look bad and take a loss LOL I legit do that enough on my own hahah Wish I coulda done better but boxing just ain't my sport ffs."
KSI, who is supposed to fight Logan Paul in a rematch from their draw last summer but who also has been challenged by Jake Paul, said he was disappointed by the sparring session. Jake Paul, meanwhile, said he still wants a shot at Soulja Boy.
Paul did not immediately respond to a Daily Dot request for comment. But it seems unlikely to me that there was anything fake about the actual boxing in the sparring session. Paul is clearly a much better boxer than Weller, and there's been plenty of world-class boxing stars who have been legitimately dropped and knocked out by a well-placed shot to the torso that didn't look like much to those who were watching. And Weller certainly isn't world class.

BREAKING: Silver Senior League games cancelled on Thursday
Written by Dean Thompson on May 25, 2016
Silver City Little League President Amanda Martinez announced on social media late Tuesday that all Senior League (ages 13-16) games on Thursday have been cancelled due to "the situation happening with the Silver Schools situation."
The Silver Schools Board of Education will be holding a meeting at 6 p.m. this evening to discuss the contract and possible buy-out of Superintendent Lon Streib.
"In light of the actions that have been taken at Silver High School, I, as president of Silver City Little League, feel all of the kids in Little League have been affected," Martinez said. "With this being so, we have decided to take action in supporting our school coaches, principal and athletic director and have cancelled our Senior League games so that the voices of these athletes and fellow coaches can be heard.
"The kids are our future, whether it be in school, athletics or in the workforce, their voices matter," she said.
Martinez said that games in other divisions will be played, but "we know many coaches and players will be attending the meeting."

Q: Prove by tableaux that theory T' is unsatifiable I have to find a new theory by skolemization and prove that it is incosistent by tableau method.
My result:

My question is, if I have one true and one false sign with same relation and the elements are not in the same place, does it lead to contradictory? (right branch of the tree in the picture)

A: No, $p(c,f(c))$ is not the same statement as $P(f(c),c)$, so the two statements you circled in red do not lead to a contradiction.
I also note a mistake you make earlier in the tree: a statement like $\forall x (P(x) \lor Q(x))$ does not branch into $\forall x \ P(x)$ and $\forall x \ Q(x)$, but this is basically what you did when decomposing $\forall x \forall z (\neg R(x) \lor P(f(x),z))$. Instead, you should first instantiate the quantifiers with something, and then branch once you have isolated the $\lor$.

'Konda Polam' movie review: Life lessons from the wild
Krish Jagarlamudi's fable-like coming-of-age Telugu film is a rewarding visual and musical experience, but needed more depth
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo
There's something comforting and reassuring about fables that pack in life lessons through simple stories. It's like a throwback to a time when life was less complicated. At the heart of director Krish Jagarlamudi's Konda Polam (forest grazing) is a fable-like story, adapted from the Telugu novel of the same name by Sanupureddy Venkatarami Reddy. In the process of shepherding a huge flock of sheep into the hilly jungles to survive drought in the plains, a young man rediscovers himself and finds his purpose in life.

The story is set in the arid Rayalaseema region, in the vicinity of Nallamala forest, though the film has been mostly filmed in Vikarabad and Ananthagiri hills owing to COVID-19 restrictions. Konda Polam draws our attention to a lesser-known fact — of shepherds in a village where water is a luxury, having to venture into the wilderness to find food and water for their flock of sheep. The seasoned shepherds, weathered by vagaries of life and the terrain, know how to survive in the jungles and stave off predators of all kinds — animals, reptiles and devious men.
Konda Polam
Cast: Vaisshnav Tej, Rakul Preet Singh
Direction: Krish Jagarlamudi
Music: M M Keeravani
Krish leads us into this world through Kataru Ravindra Yadav (Vaisshnav Tej), born into a shepherd family but somewhat of an outsider, since he has had the privilege of being educated rather than being pulled into tending sheep. But Ravindra has been following the herd of another sort, becoming an engineer with the hope that he will get a well-paying job, while neither understanding nor having an aptitude for it.
He ventures into the jungle, accompanied by his father (Sai Chand) and fellow villagers that include Obulamma (Rakul Preet Singh), with his eyes reflecting his inexperience and guilt in not being able to earn to ease the burden of his elders.
Once the shrill initial excitement of some of the shepherds wears off and they venture deeper into the woods, there's an effort to make Konda Polam an endearing regional The Jungle Book , if you will.
There are no major surprises in the story. Since it unfolds as a flashback, we know the new responsibilities Ravindra is likely to take up and that the jungle has been a major influence on him. Threats from reptiles, tigers and smugglers are all part of the game.
The grandeur of the tagline 'an epic tale of becoming', emerges mostly from M M Keeravani's music and V S Gnanashekhar's cinematography. The aural and visual landscape try to elevate a simple story. The camera lingers lovingly on breathtaking visuals in the deep as well as captures the eeriness of the forest.
Once the lessons from the jungle are discussed, the adventures of the shepherds feel repetitive in the later potions. The duets and an underwhelming climactic portion also rob the film of its gravitas.
The story of Ravindra's transformation could have been so much more. Though the tale is well-intentioned and often compares the struggle for survival in the jungles to the survival of the fittest in concrete urban jungles, we don't feel its impact.
Vaisshnav Tej is effective in portraying the naivety required for his character. Surrounded by seasoned performers, he gamely immerses himself into the jungle milieu. In the emotional portions, particularly the scene where Obulamma confesses her love to him, his lack of experience shows. Rakul, sporting a tanned look, strikes a fine balance between being fun-loving and lending credence to who Obulamma is — a girl who had to make peace with the lack of opportunity for education. Her lip sync to the rustic Rayalaseema dialect is never out of place.
Konda Polam has a reliable supporting cast — Sai Chand, Hema, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Mahesh Vitta and Racha Ravi. Ravi Prakash shines in the telephonic monologue with his wife, where he puts forth his limitations and shows that he values her education and the stability she brings to the relationship. There are immersive and engaging segments such as this in the film but despite all that, it ends up feeling underwhelming, as though the fable has been stretched more than necessary.

Thermo Fisher Scientific was looking to drive a digital, self-directed learning culture that could scale across the organization. Historically, learning efforts have focused primarily on instructor-led training.
Thermo Fisher ultimately chose to partner with Big Think Edge due to the quality and breadth of videos as well as robustness of the online platform. To pilot the new learning model, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Big Think Edge developed a blended virtual instructor-led curriculum, using 25 videos, entitled "Leading High Performing Teams".
Participants loved the video lessons and platform. Due to the success of the program, Thermo Fisher Scientific is now adding more virtual instructor-led workshops to their internal offering, pairing Big Think Edge's video lessons and platform with internal virtual instructors.
"Absolutely think these tools will help to foster a better experience within myself and for my team. Knowing that several others from my organization are involved reassures me that collectively we can help drive the improvements learned here throughout the organization."
"The lessons learned will change my focus on how I go about motivating my team; making them feel connected to our purpose, showing they are valued member of the team, and providing feedback on their activities as far as hindering or helping the team meet our goals."
"I am on overdrive and excited to implement so many new ideas...Starting with Module 1, we have implemented team meetings to create a team environment that did not previous exist amongst a group of individual contributors."

Are deadly car crashes on a decline?
On behalf of Frails & Wilson Attorneys At Law | Dec 13, 2019 | Motor Vehicle Accidents
In late October, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, released its annual fatal crash data report for 2018. These most recent statistics show that the number of overall fatalities last year was 2.4% less than the previous one. There was a significant decrease in highway fatalities between 2016 and 2017 as well.
NHTSA data shows that 36,560 individuals died on U.S. roadways in 2018. This is 913 fewer deaths than those that occurred in 2017. Those same statistics show that the fatality rate per 100 million miles also went down 3.4% to 1.13 this past year. This is the lowest that the fatality rate has been since 2014.
Some other interesting statistics stood out when researchers analyzed the data. They found that the number of motorcyclists who died on U.S. highways declined 4.7% in 2018. Fatalities among minors 14-years-old or younger also decreased by 10.3%. The incidence rate of fatal crashes that could be attributed to speeding decreased by 5.7%. Deadly accidents caused by alcohol declined by 3.6%.
An NHTSA administrator pointed out that they believe that many of the decreases in crashes can be attributed to improvements in automobile technology over the past few years. He noted that even when crashes do occur, they tend to be less deadly than they once were thanks in large part to the onboard safety equipment that they have. The spokesperson noted that motorists should continue to buckle up, not speed and avoid distracted or impaired driving though.
While many positives stood out among the statistics, there were many negatives as well. There was a 3.4% increase in pedestrian fatalities in 2018. There was a 6.3% uptick in pedal cyclist deaths last year as well. Most of these incidents happened when it was dark outside.
Federal regulators are constantly looking into ways to make our roadways safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike. If you have been hurt while out navigating the streets in Augusta or elsewhere in Georgia, then an attorney can help you secure compensation for your injuries. Your lawyer can also help you file a wrongful death lawsuit if you've lost a loved one in such a crash as well.

Orchestra conductor Roberto Beltrán-Zavala talks about the music of Florent Schmitt and Rêves (1915).
March 14, 2016 · by Phillip Nones
Roberto Beltrán-Zavala (Photo: Lorena Alcaraz Minor)
In February 2016, the first orchestral music of Florent Schmitt ever to be performed in Mexico was presented by the conductor Roberto Beltrán-Zavala. He led the Orchestra of the University of Guanajuato in a performance of the composer's Rêves, Op. 65 (Dreams), a tone picture composed in 1915 — just over a century ago.
It was an interesting choice, considering that Rêves is not one of Schmitt's better-known works. It was equally interesting in that Maestro Beltrán, who is originally from Mexico but who has also studied and performed in Holland and other European countries, has chosen to devote attention to a composer who is so little known in Mexico and Central America.
Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Maestro Beltrán, asking him how he came to know the music of Florent Schmitt, and what attracted him to the music and to this piece in particular. Highlights of our discussion are presented below:
PLN: How did you first become familiar with the music of Florent Schmitt? What piece did you encounter first?
RB-Z: The music of Schmitt was brought to my attention by my former composition teacher and musical colleague, Jorge Torres. He had studied at the Paris Conservatoire and I guess it was there that he became acquainted with Schmitt's music. The first piece I listened to was Rêves. I was immediately drawn to it and fascinated by it.
PLN: What is it that attracted you to that particular piece of music?
RB-Z: I heard Rêves first in the recording by Leif Segerstam and the Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic. Later on, I also discovered the recording by David Robertson and the Monte Carlo Philharmonic. They are two completely different approaches to the work.
I felt attracted to the orchestral color, and also to the intangible nature of the work. It is highly polyphonic along with having masterful orchestration. And beyond what seems obvious to the ear, there is a whole other world that we can perceive but not completely define.
In the piece, Schmitt creates a multi-layered universe of sound — and no matter how much you study and work on the piece, when performing it one will always have the feeling of an aspect of the music that is somehow beyond one's grasp.
PLN: Could you share observations about Florent Schmitt's musical style in more general terms?
RB-Z: It fascinates me to think that Schmitt likely played a substantial role in history, but that he did it mostly unnoticed. For example, besides the obvious influence of the French school of orchestration, we can also find strong influences of Scriabin in Schmitt's music (particularly in Rêves).
And if we think of Schmitt as an influence on others, the first composer who comes to my mind is Takemitsu. I feel quite sure that Takemitsu must have heard and studied Schmitt's music — and if I am right, that makes Schmitt a very important link indeed.
PLN: Was your performance of Rêves with the Orchestra of the University of Guanajuato the first time had you performed the piece in concert?
RB-Z: Yes, my performance of Rêves with OSUG was my first Schmitt. Moreover, it was the first time this orchestra performed Schmitt's music — and actually, the first time any orchestral piece by Schmitt had been performed in Mexico!
An original edition of the full score to Florent Schmitt's Rêves, a tone picture the composer completed in 1915. Its premiere performance was in 1918 by the Colonne Concerts Orchestra conducted by Camille Chevillard.
PLN: It is interesting that you selected a lesser-known Schmitt composition for a "first hearing" in Mexico. What was your reason for selecting this piece for performance rather than a more famous work such as La Tragédie de Salomé?
RB-Z: La Tragédie de Salomé is an incredible piece. But I felt I had to start with something a bit more manageable as the composer was unknown to the audience, to the orchestra players, and even to me as a performer. Salomé is more than twice as long, and a considerably more complex work as well.
Furthermore, Salomé is much closer in language to the "French School," and that did not fit so well with the rest of the program which consisted of music by Javier González-Compeán and Tchaikovsky.
Actually, I consider Rêves itself to be a rather unique work within Schmitt's own catalogue.
PLN: What was it like to prepare this piece for performance? What challenges, if any, did the orchestra encounter with the music?
RB-Z: As much as you prepare, there is always a sense of "searching in the dark" with a composer you don't know. With Rêves it's even more so, considering the nature of the piece!
More fundamentally, intonation is very challenging in such a work, and it is very important to have a clear notion what do you want to do with all of that polyphony. Each line — no matter how small — must to have its own life and purpose. That takes time to work out.
PLN: How would you characterize the style and mood of Rêves? Is there anything in particular that you find unique about it?
RB-Z: I think the name of the piece describes its mood pretty clearly: You perceive something but when you want to focus on it, suddenly it isn't there anymore!
I consider it like the feeling you have when you are about to do something — to "execute an action" — but right at the moment you expect to "feel" and experience it, you realize you are dreaming and it all vanishes in a split second. I find that aspect of the music quite unique.
PLN: What was the reaction of the audience upon hearing Rêves in concert? What about feedback from members of the orchestra?
RB-Z: The orchestra enjoyed the melodic aspects of the piece very much — and of course, the bass clarinet player loved it!
On the other hand, they faced big intonation challenges; when you have a melodic line that passes through three and sometimes four different instruments, it becomes difficult to have a steady reference.
I believe the audience reaction was positive. We are fortunate that audiences in Guanajuato are very open to new things.
PLN: Have you studied any other scores of Florent Schmitt?
RB-Z: La Tragédie de Salomé, which I am working on in preparation for performing its Mexican premiere in 2017.
PLN: Tell us a little about your background and activities as a performer, teacher and administrator. Where did you study, and with whom? Where else, in addition to Mexico, do you perform?
Roberto Beltrán-Zavala (Photo © Valeria Cosi)
RB-Z: In brief, I studied composition at Mexico City's National Center for the Arts as well as conducting with Jorge Mester at Mexico City's Philharmonic Orchestra.
Later on, I emigrated to The Netherlands to study conducting at the Rotterdam Conservatory with Hans Leenders and Arie van Beek. I was assistant conductor of the Dutch National Youth Orchestra under Mark Wigglesworth and had lessons with Valery Gergiev and Jorma Panula.
In Europe I have worked in The Netherlands, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, Belgium, France and elsewhere. Upcoming engagements include debuts in San Remo, Westphalia and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.
Besides OSUG, I am music director of Rotterdam's re:orchestra, regarded as one of Europe's best chamber orchestras made up of young professional performers. We perform regularly in major halls and have a multi–record contract with the BIS label for a series called Essential Music.
Currently, I reside in Rotterdam with my Dutch wife who is a professional viola player. I hold dual Mexican and Dutch citizenship.
PLN: What kind of musical projects are next on your plate?
RB-Z: Upcoming concert highlights include performing Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 with USUG in April. In August I will make my Teatro Colon debut, and in October I will direct the Mexican premiere of Mendelssohn's Die Hochzeit des Camacho at the Cervantino Festival.
PLN: Are there any other comments that you would like to share about Florent Schmitt and his music?
RB-Z: I hope Schmitt's music attains the stature it deserves on orchestral programs. I plan to do my part — and I hope my music colleagues do so as well!
Maestro Beltrán deserves praise for introducing the music of Florent Schmitt to concert audiences in Mexico. His commitment to presenting the composer's scores — both familiar and rare — is enriching the concert-going experience for classical audiences there.
We hope that Rêves and Salomé are just the first of numerous Schmitt musical creations that help grow awareness and reputation of the composer in Latin America.

Chiniquy v. Catholic Bishop of Chicago, 41 Ill. 148 (1866)
April 1866 · Illinois Supreme Court
41 Ill. 148
Charles Chiniquy et al. v. The Catholic Bishop of Chicago
Charles Chiniquy et al. v. The Catholic Bishop of Chicago.
1. Acknowledgment op deeds—requisites of the certificate. The certificate of acknowledgment of a deed purported to have been made by the clerk of the County Court, and was formal in all respects except in the omission in the caption or margin, of the name of the county. The certificate concluded thus: " Given under my hand and seal of said court, this 13th day of July, A. d. 1851," with the delineation of a seal containing the words " Will County Seal." Held, the omission of the name of the county in the caption was a mere informality which did not vitiate the certificate, it appearing sufficiently that the acknowledgment was taken by a proper officer of Will county.
3. Names—variance therein. In making out his chain of title in ejectment, the plaintiff gave in evidence a deed to Mitchell Allen and a deed from Micheál Allaine, insisting the names represented the same person. It was held, there was no variance. The names were French names, and the difference in spelling Mitchell and Micheál would result from giving the name the English or the French pronunciation. The names Allan and Allaine are idem sona/ns.
3. In the same chain of title there was a deed to Otaine Allaine and a deed from Antoine Allain, claimed to be to and from the same person, and it was held, there was not a fatal variance. These names were also French, and it was presumed there was proof below that Antoine took by a misnomer and conveyed by his right name.
4. In the use of foreign names in this country, courts should be slow to pronounce that a variance, unless it is palpable, which may only be a misspelling or a mispronunciation by persons ignorant of the language in which the name is written.
5. Desobiption of premises in a deed. The description of land in a deed was as follows : " Being part of'the south half of the south half of the southeast quarter of section number four, township number twenty-nine north, range twelve west of the 3d P. M., beginning at the north-west corner, thence south twenty-six rods, thence east sixty-one and one-half rods, thence north twenty-six rods, thence west to place of beginning, containing ten acres more or less." On objection that the place of beginning was uncertain, it was held the description was sufficient.
6. Evidence —in ejectment. It is not competent, in an action of ejectment, to show who paid the consideration money on the conveyance of the premises to the plaintiff, with the view to establish a trust. In this action the legal title must prevail against every equity.
7. Conveyance to one for the use and benefit of another—right of the cestui que trust, at lam. In the premises of a deed, the party of the second part, to whom the grant was made, was described as follows: " The Right Rev. James *149Oliver Vandervald, Bishop of Chicago, and his successor and successors in office, in trust for the use and benefit of the Catholic population of the parish of St. Anne, in the county of Iroquois, State of Illinois, party of the second part." Held, that the naming of the cestuis que trust in the premises, with the bishop as the party of the second part, did not operate to make them the grantees of the title equally with the bishop. The legal title vested in the bishop for their use.
8. Catholic bishop of Chicago, as a corporation sole—requirements of the law creating such corpoi'ation. Under the law constituting the Catholic bishop of Chicago a corporation sole, his titles to real estate do not become forfeited by reason of his omission to file for record a statement of his appointment under his hand and seal and verified by his affidavit, within three months after the act became a law, nor is the performance of that requirement of the act a prerequisite to the organization of such corporation.
9. Ejectment—against whom the action will lie—who is an occupant within the meaning of the ejectment law. Persons who are in possession of land merely as the servants or employees of the party claiming title adversely, are not occupants of the land, within the meaning of the ejectment law, and an action of ejectment cannot be maintained against them.
10. So a clergyman who preaches on Sunday, or any other day of the week, in a church edifice, under the direction and employment of a religious corporation, is not liable to an action of ejectment, and Jo be mulcted in costs, at the suit of a person claiming the title against the corporation.
11. Corporation—its organization—in what proceeding it can he inquired, into. Where an action of ejectment is brought in the name of a party, as a corporation, matters relating to the organization of such corporation cannot be inquired into in such action. In a direct proceeding by quo warranto, proofs relating to its organization might be required.
Appeal, from the Circuit Court of Kankakee county; the Hon. Charles K. Stare, Judge, presiding.
This was an action of ejectment commenced in the court below, by the Catholic Bishop of Chicago, against Charles Chiniquy, Achilee Chiniquy, Augustine Fouche, Bierie Moráis, Gustave Demars, Lewis Mercier and Abram Peltier, a trial of which resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff. The cause is brought to this court for review by the defendants.
Among other questions arising upon the record, is one in regard to the validity of the deed from Antoine Allain and wife to the plaintiff. The portions of that deed to which objection is taken, are as follows: " This indenture made this *150twenty-sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, between Antoine Allain and Marcelline Allain, his wife, of the county of Iroquois, State of Illinois, party of the first part, and the Bight Bev. James Oliver Yandervald, Bishop of Chicago, and his successor and successors in office, in trust for the use and benefit of the Catholic population of the parish of St. Anne, in the county of Iroquois, State of Illinois, party of the second part," then follows the grant to " the said party of the second part, his successors anti assigns forever." The question presented is, whether the naming of the " Catholic population of the parish of St. Anne," in the premises of the deed, with the bishop, as party of the second part, constituted them the grantees in the deed equally with him, so as to vest in them the legal title.
The facts upon which the other questions in the case arise are sufficiently stated in the opinion of the court.
Mr. Walter B. Soates, and Messrs. Glover, Cook & Campbell, for the appellants.
, Messrs. Arrington & Dent and Messrs. Moore & Cauleield, for the appellee.
Mr. Justice Breese
delivered the opinion of the Coiu't:
The Catholic bishop of Chicago brought his action of ejectment in the Circuit Court of Kankakee county against Charles Chiniquy and others, to recover the possession of part of the south half of the south half of the south-east quarter of section four (4), in town twenty-nine (29), range twelve (12), west of the second principal meridian, in the county of Kankakee.
The defendants pleaded the general issue and also a plea denying they were in possession of the premises, and there was a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff, to reverse which the defendants have appealed to this court.
The record shows, that the south-east quarter of section four was patented by the United States to George W. Cassidy.
*151By deed dated July 12,1851, Cassidy and wife conveyed the land to one Mitchell Allen.
One Michael Allain conveyed the south half of the south half of this quarter, on which are the premises in controversy, to one Otaine Allaine. One Antoine Attain and Marcellain Allain, his wife, conveyed ten acres of the same to the Bight Beverend James Oliver Vandervald, Bishop of Chicago, and his successors in office, by metes and bounds, in trust for the use and benefit of the Catholic population in the parish of St. Anne, in the county of Iroquois. Thus was deraigned the title of the plaintiff.
It was stipulated on the trial of the issues, that there was at St. Anne, an incorporation of a religious society, by the name of the Christian Catholic Church at St. Anne, incorporated under the general law of this State. That said society is a Protestant religious association, not in communion with the Boinan Catholic Church, or having any connection therewith. That the defendant, Charles Chiniquy, for the last five years has been the minister of said religious society, incorporated as aforesaid, and regularly officiated in the building which stands upon the premises in controversy, and continuing to, up to the present time; that prior to April 11th, 1864, for the preceding five years, he kept a stable on a portion of the premises sought to be recovered, and kept his horses and stock there in said" stable; that prior to the commencement of this action he removed his stable and stock off of the said premises. That the other defendants are the trustees of said society, with the exception of Gustave Demars, and that the said trustees have the control of said premises, and employed the said Chiniquy as the minister of said church, and Gustave Demars as a teacher, and that he has taught a school in said building, from a time prior to the commencement of this suit until now, and that such possession and control of said trustees, is adverse to the plaintiff, and that the possession and control of said Chiniquy and said Demars (if any) is under said trustees, and is also adverse to the plaintiff.
There was no evidence of title in the defendants, to the *152premises in question, except the possession mentioned in the stipulation.
The jury, under instructions from the court, found a verdict in due form for the plaintiff, on which the court rendered judgment, to reverse which the defendants prosecute this appeal, and have assigned the following errors: The court erred in admitting improper evidence offered by said plaintiff in the court below; in refusing to admit proper evidence offered by defendants; in giving to the jury the instructions asked by said plaintiffs, and each of them ; in refusing to give the instructions asked by said defendants, and each of them; in overruling the motion for a new trial, and in rendering judgment in manner and form aforesaid.
Various points are made by appellants, on this assignment of errors, the most material of which we will notice.
The defendants objected to the admission of the deed in evidence, of Cassidy the patentee, to Mitchell Allen, for the reason, there was no acknowledgment of its execution, and the same was not proved.
The defect, in the acknowledgment, consists in the omission, in the caption, of the name of the county. It purports to have been taken by Oscar L. Hawley, clerk of the County Court, and is formal in all respects save this omission. The conclusion of the certificate of acknowledgment is as follows: " Given under my hand, and seal of said court, this 12th day of July, A. D. 1851," with the delineation of a seal containing the words, " Will county seal." It must be admitted that this acknowledgment is informal, but it is nothing more.
It is perfectly certain the deed was acknowledged before the county clerk of Will county, and it is so attested under the seal of that county. Naming the county in the margin would scarcely make it more certain. We do not think any appeal to the confirmatory act of 1853, is necessary to sustain this certificate, as the fact is patent by it, that the acknowledgment was taken by a proper officer of Will county.
It is next objected, that as this conveyance by Cassidy and wife is to Mitchell Allen, he only, and not Micheál Allaine, *153could convey the premises described in it; and the same objection is made to the deed from Micheál Allaine to Otaine Allaine, and from Antoine Allaine to the plaintiff in the action. The objection, as appears by the record, was, " that the name of the grantee in the first deed and of the grantor in the second deed was not the same; and the name of the grantee in the second deed and grantor in the third was not the same. Some evidence was introduced by plaintiff, tending to show that the name was French, and was variously spelled and pronounced, which was objected to by the defendants; whereupon the deeds were handed to the court for inspection. The court held there was no variance which should exclude them from the jury, and permitted them to be read to the jury, as showing a chain of title."
We do not profess to be stilled in the French language, but, from our slight knowledge of it, we are satisfied the names of the parties to the second and third deeds are French names. Being such, when pronounced by one familiar only with English names, he would give them an English pronunciation, and thus convert, by the simple act of pronunciation, " Micheál Allaine " into " Mitchell Allen;" and a Frenchman pronouncing the name of Mitchell Allen, would pronounce it as Micheál Allaine, since the pronunciation of the French prmnomen " Micheál" is "Meshale,"quite like the English name " Mitchell," while Allen and Allaine are idem sonans, or so nearly so as not to constitute a variance.
So with the name "Otaine Allaine." This is evidently a French name, and it is apparent Antoine Allaine took under it, for he made the deed to the plaintiff. He took the premises by a misnomer, but conveyed them by his right name. Of this there is no question. What evidence was before the court on this point, we are not apprised, but we are bound to suppose it was sufficient to satisfy the court there was no variance.
When we consider the great influx of foreign population into our country, and the great difficulty existing on the part of those courts as well as the people generally, who are not famil*154iar with the language of the country from which it comes, to understand the names, whether written or spoken, by which they are severally distinguished, we should be slow to pronounce that a variance in the name of any one of them, unless it is palpable, which may only be a misspelling or a mispronunciation of it, and that by 'persons ignorant of the language in which the name is written. Apart from any suggestion of fraud or personation of another, which is not claimed in this ease, it is evident under Cassidy's deed, Hieheal Allaine took and held the premises unquestioned hy any one, and under his deed to Otaine Allaine, Antoine Allaine took and held in the same way, his right being unchallenged, and he conveyed them by that name to the plaintiff in the ejectment.
We cannot think, under the circumstances, there was such a variance in the names in these deeds, as to exclude them as evidence, and the more especially in this case, since by the import of the stipulation in it, the defendants claim whatever title they may have, under the same deeds. This appears from the record, for that shows that " Antoine Allaine was introduced as a witness by the defendants, who offered to prove by him that the consideration of twenty-five dollars named in the deed to the plaintiff, was not paid by him, but by the defendants ; and they also offered to prove hy this witness that he refused to execute a deed to the bishop for the use of the religious society or congregation of Roman Catholics of St. Anne, but executed the deed in evidence instead of such deed which was furnished to him to execute. The defendants also offered to prove, that, at the time this deed was made, the defendants were members of the Catholic church of St. Anne, but the court refused to permit the defendants to make such proof."
It is next objected that this deed from Antoine Allaine to the plaintiff is void for the uncertainty in the description of the piece of land conveyed.
The description in the deeds, in the declaration, in the verdict of the jury, and in the judgment of the court, is one and *155the same, and it is as follows : " Being part of the south half of the south half of the south-east quarter of section number four, township number twenty-nine north range twelve west, of the 2d P. M., beginning at the north-west corner, thence south twenty-six rods, thence east sixty-one and one-half rods, thence north twenty-six rods, thence west to place of beginning, containing ten acres, more or less."
It is said the place of beginning is uncertain. We do not so think. The land out of which this parcel is to be taken is described as the south half of the south half of the south-east quarter, which would contain, by government survey, forty acres. It is out of this forty acre tract the ten acres are to be taken, and the beginning corner of the survey is the north-west corner of this forty-acre tract, which is the south half of the south half of the quarter section.
This is the tract described-as the tract out of which the ten acres are to be taken, by beginning the survey at its north-west corner. This seems to us quite plain.
It is next objected that the court rejected evidence to show who paid the consideration money for this piece of land.
We are not of opinion that proof to establish a trust could be gone into in this action to any greater extent than the deed itself might disclose, and, therefore, it was wholly immaterial who paid the consideration. That may be the subject of future inquiry by a court of chancery. It is sufficient for this action, that, by the deed of Antoine Allaine, the plaintiff was vested with the legal title, and being so vested, it must, at law, prevail against all and every equity.
We do'not appreciate the force of the objection under the fourth point made by appellant's counsel. It is this: " Where a gra.ntee is omitted in the premises of a deed, the grant is void for uncertainty." But the. name of the grantee is not omitted in;the premises of this deed. We suppose the counsel means to say, that, inasmuch as the Catholic population of the parish Of St. Anne are named in the premises, with the plaintiff as tiie party of the second part, they became the grantees of the tjitle equally with the bishop. As we construe the deed, the *156grant is made to the bishop of Chicago, and Ms successors in office. He and they take, by the terms of the deed, the legal title, and are the party of the second part, but they take it in trust for the use and benefit of the Catholic population of the parish of St. Anne, in the county of Iroquois. The plaintiff, and his successors in office, are the trustees for this population, for whose use and benefit he now holds it, and on his removal or death, his successor will hold it, for the same use and benefit, and this, independent of any statute. But, by the act of February 24, 1845, the legal title, and an estate in fee simple, were vested in the plaintiff, and his successors in office forever, and in no other person or persons. Scates' Comp. 984.
Whatever, then, may be the rights of these beneficiaries under this deed, they cannot be asserted in a court of law, and cannot prevail against the legal title.
The fifth point made by appellants has no force, since, so far as this grant is concerned, the plaintiff had no predecessor in office, and, of course, there could be no release. This grant is made directly to James Oliver Yandervald, bishop of Chicago, and the suit is brought by the Catholic bishop of Chicago, as a corporation sole, so erected and constituted by the act of February 20, 1861. By section four of that act, it is provided, that real estate intended to be vested by the act of 1845 above cited shall vest in the Catholic bishop of Chicago, and likewise, that gifts, grants, deeds, etc., heretofore made to any bishop shall be construed as conveying the property to such person as the Catholic bishop of Chicago, and that the title shall vest in this corporation sole. Private Laws, 1861, p. 78.
■Although this act required the Catholic bishop of Chicago, within six months after his appointment to office, to file for record a statement of his appointment, under his hand and corporate seal, and verified by his affidavit, and that the then Catholic bishop of Chicago should comply with such requisition within three months after the act became a law, it nowhere declares his titles shall be forfeited if he does not do these \ things, nor do we conceive the last provision was designed as ¡ a prerequisite to the organization of the corporation of which! *157lie was the head. In this action, these matters cannot be inquired into. On a direct proceeding by qiio warranto, such proof might be demanded, and, in its absence, the corporation might be dissolved. It cannot be assailed in this collateral proceeding.
It is also objected, that the instructions given on behalf of the plaintiff were improper, and should have been refused, and those given as asked by the defendants.
We have examined carefully, the instructions for the plaintiff, and find no substantial objection to them.
As to the defendants' instructions, we are of opinion they were all properly refused, except the last, which should have been given. It is as follows:
" The court instructs the jury for the defendants, that, if they believe from the evidence, that, at the time of the commencement of this suit, Charles Chiniquy and Gustave Demurs only occupied the premises for the purposes of a minister to conduct public worship, and as a school teacher, and that they so occupied the premises in the employ of the society or corporation known as the Christian Catholic church at St. Anne, and under their direction, and had no other nor further possession or control of the premises, and that the trustees of said corporation or society had the actual possession of the property, then the plaintiff can not recover in this suit against Chiniquy and Gustave Demurs."
This instruction excludes the idea that Charles Chiniquy and Gustave Demurs were in possession of the premises as tenants of the trustees, but is drawn on the hypothesis that they were merely their servants or employees performing their daily or weekly tasks upon the premises, and not the occupants in the sense of the ejectment law. It puts a case which, if believed by the jury, would no more render Chiniquy and Demurs liable to an action of ejectment, than would be the cashier and teller of a bank, if a suit was brought against the banking corporation to recover possession of the banking house. It surely cannot be said, that a clergyman who preaches on Sunday, or any *158other day of the week, in a church edifice, under the direction and employment of a religious corporation, is liable to an action of ejectment, and to be mulcted in costs at the suit of a person claiming the title against the corporation, if or is the hypothesis on which this instruction is drawn excluded by the stipulation in the cause, for that does not admit possession by Chiniquy and Demars. It is only on the ground that they are in possession, that such possession is admitted to be adverse to the plaintiff, leaving the question of possession debatable. The facts do not show it existed in them, but in the trustees by whom they were employed. As well might the claimant of a farm, bring his action against the men employed to cultivate the farm by the occupant in adverse possession. The action would not lie against such employees, they not being occupants in the sense of the ejectment law.
Refusing to give this instruction was error, and for the error the judgment must be reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.

CXCR3-dependent recruitment and CCR6-mediated positioning of Th-17 cells in the inflamed liver
Background and Aims: IL-17 secreting CD4 (Th17) and CD8 (Tc17) T cells have been implicated in immune-mediated liver diseases, but the molecular basis for their recruitment and positioning within the liver is unknown. Methods: The phenotype and migratory behaviour of human liver-derived Th17 and Tc17 cells were investigated by flow cytometry and chemotaxis and flow-based adhesion assays. The recruitment of murine Th17 cells to the liver was studied in vivo using intra-vital microscopy. Result...

Look Sharp, Sconnie - Midwestern Fashion Nerd, Chronic Over-thinker: WWWW?
Alas. It seems that I am powerless against Waldo-inspired attire [what would Waldo wear?].
Paired with florals here, might I add. An interesting and impromptu combination that I'm admittedly willing to try again - and with intention this time.
What if I wasn't joking.
love, love, love the striped jacket!! and thrift stores are so dangerous... i know i can never go in and not get anything!
thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog :) congrats on graduation!!
paris is super sunny right now so it's definitely time for dresses. just got to berlin. wee!
Thanks for the link! No question there - they certainly do convey similar sentiments. I think this one's a little more retro than the Burberry, and also about $2,990 less expensive.
But nothing in this world is as cool as the collar on that coat. A crocheted collar!!!? With that gold? Insane.
Love the coat! Definitely a Waldo-inspired piece, if I owned that I'd probably hide behind the couch or under the table and not come out until someone found me. Or is that just weird..?
Thanks again for your lovely comment! I love this jacket, I'm obsessed with black and white stripes at the moment. Love the skirt you're wearing as well. I'm exactly the same- I always intend just to browse but never have any willpower to stop myself from buying stuff.
Now following on blog lovin because the follow bar has disappeared!


Second only to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch's The Scream may be the most iconic human figure in the history of Western art. Its androgynous, skull-shaped head, elongated hands, wide eyes, flaring nostrils and ovoid mouth have been engrained in our collective cultural consciousness; the swirling blue landscape and especially the fiery orange and yellow sky have engendered numerous theories regarding the scene that is depicted. Like the Mona Lisa, The Scream has been the target of dramatic thefts and recoveries, and in 2012 a version created with pastel on cardboard sold to a private collector for nearly $120,000,000 making it the second highest price achieved at that time by a painting at auction.
Conceived as part of Munch's semi-autobiographical cycle "The Frieze of Life," The Scream's composition exists in four forms: the first painting, done in oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard (1893, National Gallery of Art, Oslo), two pastel examples (1893, Munch Museum, Oslo and 1895, private collection), and a final tempera painting (1910, National Gallery of Art, Oslo). Munch also created a lithographic version in 1895. The various renditions show the artist's creativity and his interest in experimenting with the possibilities to be obtained across an array of media, while the work's subject matter fits with Munch's interest at the time in themes of relationships, life, death, and dread.
For all its notoriety, The Scream is in fact a surprisingly simple work, in which the artist utilized a minimum of forms to achieve maximum expressiveness. It consists of three main areas: the bridge, which extends at a steep angle from the middle distance at the left to fill the foreground; a landscape of shoreline, lake or fjord, and hills; and the sky, which is activated with curving lines in tones of orange, yellow, red, and blue-green. Foreground and background blend into one another, and the lyrical lines of the hills ripple through the sky as well. The human figures are starkly separated from this landscape by the bridge. Its strict linearity provides a contrast with the shapes of the landscape and the sky. The two faceless upright figures in the background belong to the geometric precision of the bridge, while the lines of the foreground figure's body, hands, and head take up the same curving shapes that dominate the background landscape.
The screaming figure is thus linked through these formal means to the natural realm, which was apparently Munch's intention. A passage in Munch's diary dated January 22, 1892, and written in Nice, contains the probable inspiration for this scene as the artist remembered it: "I was walking along the road with two friends—the sun went down—I felt a gust of melancholy—suddenly the sky turned a bloody red. I stopped, leaned against the railing, tired to death—as the flaming skies hung like blood and sword over the blue-black fjord and the city—My friends went on—I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I felt a vast infinite scream [tear] through nature." The figure on the bridge—who may even be symbolic of Munch himself—feels the cry of nature, a sound that is sensed internally rather than heard with the ears. Yet, how can this sensation be conveyed in visual terms?
Since The Scream's first appearance, many critics and scholars have attempted to determine the exact scene depicted, as well as inspirations for the screaming figure. For example, it has been asserted that the unnaturally harsh colors of the sky may have been due to volcanic dust from the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia, which produced spectacular sunsets around the world for months afterwards. This event occurred in 1883, ten years before Munch painted the first version of The Scream. However, as Munch's journal entry—written in the south of France but recalling an evening by Norway's fjords also demonstrates—The Scream is a work of remembered sensation rather than perceived reality. Art historians have also noted the figure's resemblance to a Peruvian mummy that had been exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris in 1889 (an artifact that also inspired the Symbolist painter Paul Gauguin) or to another mummy displayed in Florence. While such events and objects are visually plausible, the work's effect on the viewer does not depend on one's familiarity with a precise list of historical, naturalistic, or formal sources. Rather, Munch sought to express internal emotions through external forms and thereby provide a visual image for a universal human experience.
