The law and the uprising
What explains Israel's public apathy, and judicial inaction, over its army's "excessive" use of force?
Mar 1st 2001 | jerusalem
An Israeli asks the question that all Arabs are asking
THIS week the American State Department accused Israel of committing "serious human-rights abuses" in combating the Palestinians' intifada. In its annual report on global brutality, the department found that Israel's security forces "sometimes used excessive force, in contravention of their own rules of engagement". However, added the official responsible for the report, "We're confident that the democratic institutions in Israel will get that country moving in the right direction."
Not all of Israel's own human-rights activists share that confidence. They point to a pervasive apathy that seems to affect much of Israeli society, left as well as right, in the face of the wanton acts of cruelty by soldiers and settlers that sporadically reach the media. During the first intifada, from 1987 to 1992, a stream of prosecutions, several involving senior field commanders, spurred public controversy over the legality and morality of the army's actions. Today, after five months of much more intense violence than in the earlier uprising, only half a dozen soldiers are under investigation by the military police for illegal use of firearms.
One of them was filmed, by chance, by a television cameraman in Hebron on new year's day, speaking to a middle-aged Palestinian and then suddenly shooting him. The whole country saw the man, Jaabari Jadallah, lying for long minutes in a spreading pool of blood as the soldiers looked on unmoving. His leg was later amputated.
The army's initial reaction was to justify the soldier's action. Subsequently, the line changed and the chief of staff, Lieut-General Shaul Mofaz, described both the shooting and the failure to give first aid as "very grave". But neither this soldier, nor any other soldier involved in the many alleged excesses, has yet been brought to trial.
Two recent events have triggered a certain amount of criticism. Both concerned the killing of Palestinians by settlers several years ago. In March 1993, Yoram Skolnik of Kiryat Arba, a settlement near Hebron, shot and killed Moussa Abu Sabah, who was lying motionless and tied-up on the ground. Mr Skolnik was convicted of murder and received the mandatory life sentence. This was later commuted by the then-president, Ezer Weizman, to 15 years and later to 11 years. After serving two-thirds of this 11-year term, Mr Skolnik applied for parole. The parole board concurred and leading rabbis and religious politicians wrote letters of support. Last week, after an unsuccessful appeal by human-rights activists to the Supreme Court, Mr Skolnik walked free.
Nahum Korman, who chased, kicked and beat to death a 12-year-old Palestinian boy in November 1996, was sentenced in January to six months of community service. This followed a complex legal process that included the Supreme Court, lower courts and plea-bargaining. Betselem, an Israeli human-rights group, condemned the sentence as giving "a message that Palestinian lives are cheap". It accuses the legal authorities of "an undeclared policy of absolution, compromise and mitigation for Israeli civilians who attack Palestinians."
Concerned Israelis see a connection between the Skolnik and Korman cases and the pall of judicial inaction and public indifference that seems to envelop the current intifada. Eyal Gross, a law lecturer and executive member of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, discerns a clear link "between the Korman sentence and the fatal shootings of hundreds of unarmed Palestinians by soldiers operating under a policy of riot dispersal that permits excessive use of force in incidents where the soldiers' lives are not in danger." He also argues that the army's policy of "terminating" Palestinian commanders, and the killing of 12 Arab-Israeli citizens last year, reflect "the judicial legitimisation of a norm of contempt for Arab lives."
But the silence and seeming insensitivity of the Israeli mainstream in the face of all this is not merely a case of judicial or even moral flaccidity. Most Israelis feel they are at war. Whereas the previous intifada was clearly a rebellion, largely unarmed, by a subjugated population in areas under military occupation, this time the Palestinians are seen as living under their own rule and deploying armed forces who shoot to kill. General Mofaz suggested this week that the Palestinian Authority was becoming a "terrorist entity".
Government lawyers have argued this distinction in civil suits involving Palestinians' claims for compensation for destroyed or sequestered property. They say the army is not engaged in "belligerent occupation" under the 1907 Hague Convention, but rather in "hostilities" against the Palestinian Authority and its paramilitary forces. A piece of casuistry perhaps, but it authentically expresses the mood of the nation.
In one way at least, that mood could perhaps be shifting. Public hearings are now being held by a commission of inquiry into the killing and wounding of Arab-Israelis during protests last October. People are shocked to learn at first hand, from police witnesses and from their victims, how quickly and easily the policemen opened fire, hardly bothering with non-lethal methods of riot control. They are stirred, too, by the quiet sobbing of bereaved mothers and sisters on the public benches, citizens like themselves who suddenly became enemies of their state.

NOAH attends its first international regulatory VICH meeting
By Simon King on	 November 26, 2020 Brexit, News
The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) said it was pleased to have been invited to attend the 39th meeting of the VICH (International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Medicinal Products).
Joining as a guest alongside the Veterinary Medicines Directorate, NOAH said that this marked a significant step as the transition period for the UK to leave the European Union comes to an end.
VICH promotes the establishment of safe and effective veterinary medicinal products across the world through wider international harmonisation of technical requirements for the registration of veterinary medicinal products.
Now in its third decade of activity, the 39th VICH Steering Committee and 13th VICH Outreach Forum (VOF) annual meetings took place online from November 16-19.
Until now, the UK has been a part of the EU team, represented through the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and AnimalHealthEurope, the European animal health association.
Dawn Howard, NOAH's chief executive, said: "Whilst NOAH remains an active member of AnimalHealthEurope, theUK Veterinary Medicines Regulations, which have been linked to the EU regulatory process for many years, will be independent from January 2021. We look forward to working jointly with VMD to represent the UK within VICH.
"It is very welcome to be involved in these global discussions to be able to share expertise and reach global consensus on how animal medicines are regulated."

Brian Moore Barnard: A different kind of lawyer
Brian Moore Barnard was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He worked his way through college as a mail carrier and earned his degree from Claremont Men's College. Brian attended Loyola Law School and graduated in 1969; with a passion for Constitutional law and social justice. He taught law at George Washington University for a short period after law school. Brian came to Utah on a Reginald Heber Smith fellowship given to young attorneys interested in community-oriented legal work and began working at Utah Legal Services. He was not planning to stay in Utah, but he soon determined he could make a difference here.
Brian opened the doors to his own law office, Utah Legal Clinic, in 1973. He chose the name Utah Legal Clinic rather than a traditional law firm name because he wanted all people to feel as though he was their advocate and his door was open to anyone. Brian was not a stereotypical lawyer, he could be seen walking to and from work picking up garbage or trimming trees that hung in his path. He didn't have a briefcase but a handmade leather bi-fold that an inmate had made for him. He very seldom wore a tie; if he did it often sported Mickey Mouse. He kept a suit jacket at the office to slip-on for hearings and liked to tell people about the time a judge told him to get a haircut. He often took cases pro bono, on contingent fee or sometimes traded his legal assistance for goods or services.
Utah's Gadfly
Not everyone agreed with every case, even his staff, and some of his clients were unlikable but his unwavering resolve and consistent dedication to the Constitution earned him respect. Many of Brian's peers as well as politicians and judges respected Brian's skill and unabashed willingness to take on unpopular causes. Brian took pride in being called Utah's gadfly after a magazine article assigned him the title. Brian stood up for any person's rights; a few specific cases are women who wanted access to men's private clubs, Native Americans whose Oil Trust money was being mismanaged by the State of Utah, people with AIDS who were told their marriages were void, ordinary citizens prosecuted for consensual sex, panhandlers whose free speech was infringed, prayer givers, atheists, animal rights activists, inmates, jailers, polygamists, religious leaders, bar owners and even other attorneys when he sued for the right for attorneys to advertise their services. Yes, you can thank Brian if you are an attorney who advertises. He was not afraid of any establishment. He brought suits against the Utah State Bar, government entities, judges and the LDS Church. Brian was a devoted defender of civil liberties for all, regardless of social, political, ideological or economical standing and treated people with dignity and humanity.
Give Education
Brian believed in education. He did what he could to ensure his staff were able to pay for and attend college or classes that would benefit them. He also established perpetual college scholarships in his parents' names at their Canadian and California high schools. These scholarships are not given to sterling scholars, they are awarded to the most improved student each year. He also established a scholarship for law students interested in civil rights law at the University of Utah and invested money for the children of his staff for future college expenses. Brian was compassionate and treated his staff like family. Brian was a lover of the arts, he donated to many organizations and supported them by taking his employees on "office outings" to a wide variety of events.
Stuart Ralphs, Executive Director of Utah Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake once said "it will be a long time before another Brian Barnard comes along in our profession." Brian's way-of-thinking and his philosophy for his law office is still moving forward at the same humble location where he worked for more than 40 years. He left a significant legacy in Utah and Utah Legal Clinic continues to operate moving his legacy forward.

Hi, I have a 2002 Wakesetter with a 325hp monsoon engine in it. The last couple of years I've had a recurring problem. When the weather and lake get hot I can feel the engine surging, mostly at low RPMs when I turn to pick up borders. This continues to get worse until the engine dies and won't start. Engine backfires like crazy when I try to start it. Have drained gas and used 91 octane or higher with still the same problem. Would appreciate some Ideas.
Sorry, rookie here, check where for the vapor lock?

Sony's MASTER Series TVs offer a Netflix Calibrated Mode that will bring the film creator's vision to life.
Sony announced its new MASTER Series of TVs at IFA 2018 this year, with the A9F OLED and the Z9F LED models. These actually debuted a few weeks ago, but Sony shared pricing and availability and opened pre-orders at the German event. These are not your average TVs and are not going to be cheap either, as they start at no less than $4,499 and go up a fair bit.
The Sony A9F is an OLED TV that is available in two sizes - 55 and 65-inches. It comes with Sony's latest image processor, the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate. That image processor is responsible for delivering a high-quality picture to the user. Sony has been developing its own image processors for a few years now, and they continue to get better. What this means is that if you put this OLED TV next to one from LG or another company's, Sony's TV is still going to have a better image. Now what's new here is that this also includes a Netflix Calibrated mode. This is something that Sony worked with Netflix on to develop, and it was made to help the TV give the same picture quality as you would see in a studio. The A9F also comes with Acoustic Surface Audio+, which is going to provide some of the best sound you've ever heard from a TV. This brings an additional actuator in the center of the screen and an extra subwoofer channel. What this means is that you are going to get louder audio, but also stronger bass, and bass that won't drown out the mids and highs.
Now the Sony Z9F is an LED TV, but it does feature all of the same specs as the A9F here, the only difference is the panel is an LED instead of an OLED. Typically that would mean that it would be a bit cheaper, but instead of going cheaper, Sony went bigger. Offering it in 65-inch and 75-inch models. It also sports slim bezels, like you'd expect from a TV in 2018. On top of that, Sony is using Android TV on both of these TVs, so you're going to get all of your favorite Android apps and games here, in addition to Google Assistant.
These two TV models are really going to push the envelope on picture quality, not just for Netflix, but for all content that is consumed on these TVs. Which is why these stood out to AndroidHeadlines and thus is receiving a "Best of IFA 2018" award. These are some of the best TVs that were displayed at IFA, even though there were some others announced, many were 8K and/or concept TVs that will never go on sale, and these are on pre-sale right now, with general availability coming next month. Instead of Sony following the crowd and going to 8K, the company decided to perfect its 4K lineup, with even better picture quality and sound quality.


CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Jeff Joniak's latest obsverations on preparations for this Monday's Bears-Seahawks game.
While excited about Monday in another primetime game -- this time against Seattle -- the first mission is to get the bad taste of the Packers' loss out of their collective mouths.
One bad loss cannot be the reason for a second.
After watching the game for a third time, I keep finding plays executed properly, or without a foul, or without a mental error, or with a better decision, in all three phases that "could" have or "would" have led to a win instead of a loss. All they needed to do was make "one" clutch play in any of the four quarters.
There is a reasonable expectation that rookie inside linebacker Roquan Smith will, at a minimum, get more than the eight snaps he picked up in Green Bay. He is ready for more.
Smith's speed, range, and explosiveness sideline to sideline and excellence dropping into coverage may be the way to go with Danny Trevathan at inside linebacker against Seattle's pesky and mobile quarterback Russell Wilson.
Texts from friends and family swamped his cell phone after his first NFL snap turned into his first NFL sack of Packers backup quarterback DeShone Kizer.
Meaning Smith recognizes Khalil Mack's dominance at the line of scrimmage as Kizer moved out of the outside linebacker's path, allowing Smith to drop him for a nine-yard loss late in the first half.
Smith is confident. While the NFL is more complex in terms of schemes and how to use them, it doesn't sound too big for him making the jump from Georgia.
Smith said he felt ready to play physically and mentally. He knew the game plan cold. Knowledge is always power in the NFL.
Gus Bradley was Allen Robinson's first NFL head coach in Jacksonville. He practiced against the Jaguars defense for parts of three seasons. Doug Marrone took over for the fired Bradley during the 2016 season. Bradley was Seattle's defensive coordinator from 2009-2012, retained by head coach Pete Carroll for his 2010 debut season. It means Robinson has a good feel for what to expect from the Seattle scheme next Monday night.
Ken Norton, Jr. coordinates the defense for Carroll, but the "Legion of Boom" is a memory. Free safety Earl Thomas, linebackers Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright (knee injury) are about all that is left of the once-dominant defense. However, to Robinson's point, they do have speed to respect at each level of the unit.

Things To DoOntario
You Can Watch The Summer's Most Stunning Meteor Shower At Its Peak Across Ontario In August
The Perseid meteor shower is back.
Lisa Belmonte
Published July 31 2019
Updated July 31 2019 at 03:30 PM

The Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak in August. But, in order to have the best chance of seeing some shooting stars, you should probably look to get out of the city and away from light pollution. Since the meteor shower can be seen with the naked eye, all that will be left to do is get outside and look up.
The annual meteor show started on July 17 and will continue through August 24, but the celestial event will reach its peak the night of August 12-13. According to The Weather Network, this is the very best summer meteor shower and one of the best for the entire year.
If you really want to see meteors - and a lot of them, at that - it's recommended that not only do you get away from light pollution but that you let your eyes get used to seeing in the dark. Once your eyes have acclimatized to the darkness it will be easier to spot meteors streaking through the sky.
And there are some perfect places to do just that. Ontario is home to three Dark Sky Preserves, national parks that are designated by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada as having no artificial light. If you're willing to make the trek, these three national parks would be ideal locations to watch the meteor shower because of the absence of light pollution.
Point Peele National Park is near Windsor and Bruce Peninsula National Park and Fathom Five National Marine Park are both located in Tobermory.
There is one hitch, though.
Since the moon will be almost full during the peak of the meteor shower, the number of meteors that can be seen is less than usual.
But don't let that deter you.
The Perseids can bring about more than 100 meteors per hour and most viewers see one each minute.
"The Perseids are rich in fireballs, so you'll still see Perseids; you just won't see the show you've seen on nights when the moon has not been around," NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke told Space.com.
To see the meteor shower while the moon isn't hogging the spotlight, check out the skies this weekend during the new moon.

Airgun Hunter - Spring Airguns
There are many great spring guns and I have been lucky enough to have owned a few! I was recently sent a Walther LGU to use and I'll admit I was a little sceptical, as it looked like Walther had cherry picked aspects from the TX200 and the HW97 and made their own variant. However, my interest in the LGU started to build when Germany's Jan Henrik Homann took one to victory in the spring piston class for the 2017 WFTF in Wales. So, I was more than happy to see what it offered.
This is not a light rifle and I would defiantly need my three Weetabix before a day out in the field with this bad boy. Weight is often a good thing for springers, as it allows them to sit well and recoil naturally. However, if you can't handle lugging it around all day then it's not for you! However, it's something you get used to and if a heavier gun is no stranger, shooting with this model should be no problem.
But first, zeroing. A Hawke Airmax would be my glass of choice. I bolted it on and used the arrestor pin provided with the Sports Match mounts to ensure that there would be no scope creep and placed my target at 25 yards. Most apparent was the smooth cocking stroke, with no noise from the spring or other moving parts as I cycled it. I was prone, with the forend rested on a soft bean bag cushion to allow the recoil to do as it pleased. I squeezed the trigger and the shot was away.
I wasn't overly fussed where the pellet landed at this stage. I was more interested in how the shot cycle felt. I played it back through my mind. The trigger could do with some work, compared to the CD unit found on the Air Arms and the Rekord on the Weihrauch. The first stage could have been a lot smoother and the creep on the second was initially unpleasant. This was not something I expected from a rifle in this league. I did some research on this and discovered there is an aftermarket adjustable trigger available to buy from Walther, which will hopefully do the trick. It would have been nice as a standard though.
The rest of the process left me 'wowed'! What an impression! The bad trigger trouble was soon forgotten because when that gun went off, it was the smoothest model I had ever shot out of the box, by a long way. It really did shoot like it had been tuned. The recoil was minimal, the soft adjustable butt-pad just nudged the shoulder with muzzle flip being non-existent (probably partially thanks to the hefty silencer/muzzle weight on the front end). I fired more shots, eager to get it zeroed, so that I could head out into the field for some hunting. Needless to say, it was as accurate as it was smooth; ideal characteristics for some spring action pest control.
Unwelcome guests
I arrived at one of my favourite permissions, one that I was almost guaranteed not to blank. They have lots of animals here, most of which you don't find at any ordinary farm. Visitors come and feed the animals with food bought from dispensers. As this farm is a well-known, popular, local family day out, the opportunity of feeding the animals is handed to the children. That's all well and good, but from what I have observed, only a percentage of it feeds the animals as intended. A fair amount ends up spilled on the ground, providing a wonderful feast for some of the less welcome farm guests.
I decided to just go for a walk and stalk round the property. The evenings were starting to draw in and it was already late in the day, so I needed to get on with it. I started off in a location that probably has the highest number of pests. It is where the larger animals, like the sheep, lamas and ostriches are kept. I would guess that the high pest numbers here are also down to them spreading the food around. With many of the smaller animals, including the birds of prey, their food is given to them precisely and it is very rare that any gets wasted but not with the larger species, as it's often sloshed out of the troughs and onto the ground, making an ideal feeding site for corvids, pigeons and rats.
Sit 'n' wait
story continues below...
I sat myself down in an area where I had a good view of some 'sitty-trees' and the trough that fed the animals in the main field, which had provided some good hunting in the past. I had only been out 15 minutes and already the LGV was starting to weigh a bit and without a sling, I decided a static hunt would be enjoyable.
Thankfully, before much time had passed, a very young magpie flitted down from a thick leaved sycamore and came to rest on the fence, just above the feeding station. From my position, I couldn't risk a shot, there was a car park behind, obscured by a hedge and even though the park was closed, I couldn't take the risk. I needed the bird to drop onto the feeder or onto the grass. As suspected, the temptation of a free meal soon became too much; it glided to the floor and began strutting around, as they often do. It found some grub and began to tuck in.
I knew the gun was zeroed at 25 yards and that it would need some holdover for this slightly longer 36 yarder. The familiar AMX ret' allowed me to precisely hold ¼-mil-Dot above its chest, as a head shot was off the cards, due to the constant pecking. With the same pressure as when I was zeroing, I squeezed that trigger that I had somewhat got used to. The creep that I experienced earlier that day was still a little irritating but at least it was predictable. With a minute addition of pressure to my index finger, the pellet was away. When it struck the magpie, it was like all the muscles in its body tensed up, its wings drew tight into its body and it keeled-over, belly-up on the grass.
Passing trade
A passing crow soon spotted this, as they often do, and swooped down for a closer look. Unlike my HW100, where just a silent cock of the sidelever was needed, this took a bit more effort and a whole lot more movement. I decided to use the crow's focus on the dead magpie to my advantage, I ducked behind a nearby shed and cocked the LGU as quickly as I could, and I did it silently by pressing in the anti-bear trap lever to stop any clicking as it passed over the steep edges of the grooves. I loaded a pellet and slowly re-emerged, hoping the crow was still be there. It was. With the bird's gaze still transfixed on the magpie, I positioned myself so that I could rest on the fence next to the shed. The crow called out in alarm one last time, before the 8.4-grain pellet impacted its skull for a swift dispatch.
I left them where they lay and just stood there in the hope for another opportunity. From behind me, I heard the scraping and scratching of bark. It was the unmistakable sound of a squirrel. I spotted it coming down a pine tree behind me and positioned myself for a shot. In a dash, it reached the thick undergrowth and was out of sight. I could still hear it though and it sounded like it was getting closer. Suddenly, it emerged at the edge of the path and kept coming towards me, any closer and I wouldn't be able to see it though the scope. I let off a slight squeak and it stopped dead. If it wasn't aware of me before, it was now. Before it had chance to realise I was bad news, it was dead.
Close of play
It was no more than 6 yards, so a fair bit of adjustment was needed. I couldn't tell you exactly how much, I just used 'experimation' and pulled the trigger, which is my word for a good mixture of experience and estimation in unusual situations, which creates a confidence that feels right.
The evening wore on and I managed to terminate a rat and jackdaw, to go alongside the other three. It was most definitely a successful outing. For the first time out with the LGU, I couldn't really have been happier. Will it (or any improved version) ever be considered among the great springers? Time will tell. The way it handled for me straight from the box was just superb and I'm looking forward to more testing and hunting with this fine springer in the future.

Reading, writing, and publishing is morphing like crazy thanks to the Web's evolution along with social media innovations such as news feeds, "likes" and sharing. Word that an iPad-only newspaper from Apple and News Corp. is on its way further amplifies just how much things are changing for digital content. But perhaps an even more transformative development, albeit lesser noticed, is already here. Scribd Stats, which quietly began rolling out last week, is an analytics tool– a social dashboard–built specifically for reading.
Now anyone who uploads written content to Scribd, a social reading and publishing site (think of it as "the YouTube of reading,") can get insight on how their content is being read and distributed across the Web. The free tool is designed to helps authors, journalists, bloggers, students, teachers and publishers gain real-time intelligence on their books, magazines, comics, recipes, spreadsheets, scientific papers, court documents, and the like. For instance, the online dashboard details how many total reads each document gets, where content is being read (Web sites and geographical regions), how it's being embedded, and how many social "shares" it's receiving on Facebook and Twitter.
One standout feature is a graphical "heatmap" showing where readers are spending the most time. The "map" appears as a color-coded sidebar running vertically alongside each document. Scrolling down the bar automatically shows which sections are the most popular: orange means it's a "hot," heavily visited area; blue indicates a "cool" or rarely visited section (a blank page for instance); and violet means "moderate" viewership.
Tyler McMullen, one of the engineers behind Scribd Stats, says he personally appreciates knowing exactly which areas of text readers find most interesting. After checking out the rich analytics on a speech he gave to the Scottish Ruby Conference in Edinburgh, McMullen decided he would re-work his presentation to emphasize topics that people found most appealing. It's precisely this opportunity to tweak, geo-target, and micro-market content to better suit fickle and unpredictable audiences that Scribd is betting will be a boon for old-school publishers and authors. "Nowadays," Adler explains, "Publishers can upload a file, and instantly get real-time stats on how people are discovering and reading and sharing that content." And, if the live feedback isn't to publisher's liking, or matching their expectations, well, they can use that real-time intelligence to influence social traffic patterns and demographics, and thought leaders. "It can change how people write and publish books," he says.
With one billion pages of text in its digital coffers, Scribd claims it's probably "the largest and fastest growing corpus of text online." Some 60 million visitors go to Scribd each month to share, discuss and rate what they're reading. A big part of Scribd's surging growth can be attributed to recently-added social features, including one called "Readcasts," which lets readers share what they're reading by posting to their Twitter and Facebook profiles. There have been over 40 million Readcasts since being introduced six months ago. And, Scribd reports its content – all HTML5 – is getting over 30,000 "likes" on Facebook every day.
Beyond advertising, Scribd derives revenue from premium accounts. The company is considering offering more premium stats with premium accounts.
Today, Scribd works with over 150 professional publishers including Random House, Simon & Schuster, the New York Times and Wiley. While the professional content is growing, it's still a relatively small fraction compared to all the user generated content. With 15% month-over-month growth, one can easily imagine the company's homegrown fare increasingly blurring with professionally-produced works. It will be interesting to see how that mix shifts over time.
When writers visit their own published docs at Scribd, their visit is added to their total visits. Thus writers who have a lot of time on their hands can click on their browser's reload button a thousand times a day — and make their documents appear to be very popular!
I was told a month ago that Scribd would fix this.

After watching Brady get bullied, battered and bruised by the Broncos, who hit him 23 times during the AFC title game, I had only one thought: Donald Trump, the candidate Brady once called "remarkable," is now in a tightening race and looking for all the help he can get.
My boy Tawme could do it in Brady is signed through , but at 39 it might not hurt for him to start planning for retirement. Bledsoe bought the land for his winery just a few years after he was severely injured, then cold-heartedly replaced by Bill Belichick in As Brady is about to find out, a lot can happen in 30 days away from the game.
Michigan concluded the regular season against Ohio State ; this was a dramatic game with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line. With five minutes left, tied 17—17, Brady led Michigan to the winning score.
He threw the game-winning score on a bootleg to tight end Shawn Thompson. Michigan won the game when Alabama missed an extra point following its own touchdown.
In the two seasons that Brady started at Michigan, he posted a 20—5 record, including his two largest victories at the Citrus Bowl and the Orange Bowl Brady finished his career ranking third in Michigan history with attempts and completions, fourth with 5, yards and A lightly regarded prospect coming out of college,   Brady was selected by the New England Patriots with the th overall pick in the sixth round of NFL Draft and has since spent his entire season career with the Patriots.
Since Brady became their starting quarterback in , the Patriots have never had a losing season and have won 15 division titles. The Patriots played in twelve AFC Championship Games from to —including seven in a row from to —and won eight of them.
Although Brady and the Patriots continued to win often, they did not return to the Super Bowl until the season. That year, Brady not only set an NFL record with 50 touchdown passes  but he would also lead the Patriots to a 16—0 finish,  the first perfect regular-season record since the Miami Dolphins finished in Brady missed virtually the entire following season due to a knee injury in the season opener.
Bledsoe was again the starter; in the fourth quarter, he suffered internal bleeding after a hit from Jets linebacker Mo Lewis.
New York would hold on to win, 10—3, and the Patriots fell to 0—2 on the season. Trailing the visiting San Diego Chargers 26—16 in the fourth quarter, he led the Patriots on two scoring drives to force overtime, and another in overtime to set up a winning field goal.
Then kicker Adam Vinatieri converted a yard field goal as time expired to give the Patriots a 20—17 win and their first ever league championship.
In the season opener, Brady had passing yards and three touchdowns in the 30—14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn his third AFC Offensive of the Week title.
The victory over the Jets set an NFL record by winning 26 consecutive regular-season home starts. Brady threw for 3, yards with 36 touchdowns and only four interceptions on the season.
Early reports suggested that Jackson was the first to suspect the ball was deflated, but Jackson said he did not notice anything wrong with the ball he caught.
At halftime, NFL officials inspected the footballs. Former NFL referee Gerry Austin initially, and incorrectly, stated that 11 of the 12 balls used by the Patriots were measured to be two pounds per square inch below the minimum amount,   but later reports refuted this allegation, citing only a single ball was two pounds per square inch below the minimum, while others were just a few ticks under the minimum.
They know a lot more than I do. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady initially referred to the accusations as "ridiculous".
He denied any involvement and stated that the National Football League had not contacted him in regard to their investigation.
The judge posted the letter to the official court docket on September 10, The Wall Street Journal reported on Mr. The letter summarized how it claimed the Exponent appendix to the Wells report provides sufficient proof of the deception and that the fundamental conclusion that the Patriots ball pressure could not be explained by science was a lie on the part of Exponent.

Maybe this year I will organize a trip with some friends here. Probably not better than you. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut. Well, I consider your interest for the language as much more than average, given the fact that German is dwindling fast in the USA.

The Ever Expanding Role of Trade Agreements: Human Rights
By Simon Lester
For years, I've been fighting what feels like a rearguard battle to keep free trade agreements focused on free trade. It can be a real struggle. Labor issues, environmental issues, and intellectual property are all solidly part of U.S. trade policy. Next up might be human rights.
The European Union has had human rights in its trade agreements for a while now, in the form of a provision that allows the EU to suspend the trade agreement if its partner does not sufficiently protect human rights. Recently, in their trade talks with the EU, both Canada and Japan have raised objections to such a provision, based on the view that they are developed countries that already protect human rights, and thus shouldn't be subject to the EU's scrutiny on this issue.
It will be interesting to see how the United States reacts if the EU demands such a provision as part of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks. Many lawmakers and commentators would object, I think. On the other hand, there might also be some U.S. support for the provision. Consider this from the Financial Times:
In a move that will cause concern with some US negotiating partners such as Brunei and Vietnam, [Senator Ron] Wyden says he would also like to see trade agreements address human rights, something advocated by fellow Democrats.
"I think it's the responsible thing to do and I think it will bring more support for the cause of trade expansion," Mr Wyden says.
I have a number of objections to the inclusion of human rights in trade agreements. One is that, contrary to what Senator Wyden suggests, including these issues will, in my view, make it much harder to achieve the trade liberalization that is at the core of these agreements. It moves the debate away from the basic issue of how we are better off with free trade, and in the process adds new opponents to such agreements.
Another is that people don't really agree on what constitutes human rights. Are we talking about the right to free speech or the right to food? There are very different implications from the different conceptions.
I think it's important to have conversations about rights at the international level. Even if we don't all agree, we can learn a lot from each other. But as a condition for negotiating free trade agreements, adding in human rights probably just means we are less likely to achieve freer trade.

All of them came down from KL to attend my cousin's wedding which is TODAY, but i couldnt go. =( It's been ages since I attended my cousin's wedding and now i couldnt attend. How doleful i am!
My dad, mummy and sis sent me to the bus station. I tried to control my tears when i hugged all of them. I didnt want to leave them so fast cause i hadn't spend much time with them yet. But ......... That's what i can do now- reminiscing the past.
Sorry for not being able to visit you.
and thanks for the small token you gave.

Wherefore A Bullpen Prospect For Saarloos?
By Nico Jan 23, 2007, 4:35pm PST
Share All sharing options for: Wherefore A Bullpen Prospect For Saarloos?
What surprises me about the Saarloos trade is not that Kirk was traded, as he was one of several "back-end-starter types" on the current roster and likely already had his "career year". The A's probably felt they couldn't afford enough mirrors to squeeze another solid year out of Saarloos.
What I would not have anticipated was that the A's would acquire another reliever. If you think Oakland has too many "back-end-starter types" in the current mix, look at the cast of characters vying for middle relief attention. When you make your list and actually forget about Witasick (which, by the way, is a nice feeling), you know you're knee deep in repetitive parts.
The A's farm system is not in good shape. Saarloos was not going to net the kinds of prospects that could single-handedly change this fact. But while rolling the dice with some lower-level prospect who could turn out to be a hidden gem, looking at a farm system and 40-man roster that is rich in relievers but not much else, why pick up yet another middle relief guy? That's the part that has me puzzled.


Description: this term for writing I am in words for writing and we had to make a piece of writing ( any kind ) that is about life I am with Kate for words and she is teaching me a lot I chose to make a comic with my favorite book character telling a speech about life!
My goal for writing is precise nouns. Precise nouns are words describing the place that they are in, in this school.my main character of my comic strip is Alex treveny from a graphic novel called night school.
But I think I did well on it making sense and giving out a good message!
Feedback/Feedforward:I like how you made a comic an its your own creation and it's different to normal comics people make. but I don't understand how it relates to your life and I think you need to make the pic bigger.
I love the creativity and originality you have used to produce your writing. It is great that you can use your own interests to help you with your writing. I think you have done well with your writing goal and you just to need to continue to work on this with your next pieces of writing.


It's overcast today; the leaves are starting to accumulate in the back yard, covering the mossy tree trunks. There's dampness in the air when I walk my dog, Morgan. The butterflies and cardinals are gone, so there's not much to occupy her attention other than the obvious reason we take our dogs outside. While she is disinterested, I get excited this time of year.
While it's generally authors that select their pen names for various reasons, I've got a nickname at the library – the List Lady. Armed with authors I found for my genre, I searched at four local libraries and was disappointed that I couldn't find the authors. Apparently, not a lot of readers in Georgia share my taste. The names on my last list came from What Should I Read Next, and while helpful, it didn't give me any option but to buy the books from Amazon, which required leaving one site and going to another.
I not only get better selections at Thriftbooks but can order directly, which saves me time, and most hard backed books are $3.79. Are some of you leaving the article right now to check it out?
Wait, please, I'm going to tell you about wonderful teas in a minute.
For those of us who value and treasure books – the kind you hold in your hand, breathing in the sometimes musty smells of often-read volumes, well we know how exciting it is to find a site that lets us isolate our favorite genres.
I also get coupons from making $50 in purchases. The other added feature of the site is the Wish List. I've got several books on there now, and with Christmas just around the corner, I know what to tell my kids to get me. I'm like all other Nanas; I've got enough bathrobes, but never enough books or teas to try. I've got all my leisure books neatly arranged for the fall reading on a trunk in my bedroom. That's why I love Thriftbooks. They get me.
After walking Morgan, I made some tea, and while it was steeping, I checked the mailbox. I'm pleased with free shipping and the typical four-day delivery of my books. So what authors did Thriftbooks find for me?
I met Kate Diete like we meet almost all people today – online. She's a serial entrepreneur challenging herself to create 12 start-ups in 12 months. She's doing an admirable job; traveling all over the world, so I'll leave adventuring and starting new businesses to her.
One of her start-ups is Tea Witty, and she graciously sent me some tea samples after I edited a few of her articles. Compensation and perks – got to love 'em. Now the tea is done, chair is inviting, Morgan is napping and I don't have to be anywhere for several hours. This means I can read.
So I'll check my shelves, look for something that intrigues me, and sit by the window and read. It's not just pleasure reading that excites me about Thriftbooks. I've also ordered some "Reading to Write Better" books. Again, at $3.79 for the following writers, I think it's a great deal.
Reality, Relic or Writing Day?
While I enjoy the connect the dots, ancient customs, secrets and maps to produce a good read, I'm also a fan of reality and leaving the comfy chair. So, I'm headed to The DaVinci Machines Exhibition, to see what he created and interact with the displays.
The good news is that I don't need codes for this DaVinci, but there is a coupon.

Lets have a piccy please.
565 miles achieved today - was perfectly enjoyable up to the last 100 miles or so. Still, the bike was sewing machine smooth and i got 61.5mpg on a 'keep up with motorway traffic' stretch and 55 mpg on a 'belt past everything but stay below 100' stretch. Was really impressed with the handling too, much better than i remember. the addition of earplugs and a quality lid certainly helped.
520 miles done yesterday, first 200 miles was 80mph motorway to Milton Keynes to send Liz off - god her coffin was amazing. It was painted with this image on all the sides of it.
Then did 200 miles to my dads along the A15, at night, with no heated grips, managed a few overtakes on speed cameras without getting caught (was doing the limit while overtaking) on the way to my dads, then did another 100 miles home in an hour 10mins but that's also including the 50mph speed limits during the roadworks.
Fitted the MRA Vario Screen I purchased from Ceejay on this Forum and which He was kind enough to deliver while passing the area. Thanks Chris, you're a Top Bloke. Test ride tomorrow.
Yesterday, Had a spin out with the Vario screen and really pleased with it. Starting to gel with the bike now after all the teething toubles. It replaces a much loved Moto Guzzi 750 Breva. The Old Girl had survived eight and a half years of my mate trying to kill her and when he failed at that he threw her down the road and broke a few bits off her. I did get her for a knock down price and she is looking much better after a few hundred pounds and some TLC lavished on her. Back in the 1960s I owned a 305cc Honda CB77, one of only two brand new bikes I have ever owned (the other was a 350 CZ) and the CB500 seems very much like an evolved version of that. If it delivers half as much pleasure as that old CB77 did I will be a very happy man.
Went out today venturing into the Hebden Bridge area, my sprocket carrier bearing as now had it's last and the replacement has been ordered. Great area with some nice suprise corners just to keep you on your toes such as a random very tight (20mph) switch back hair pin just into a national speed limit. That and sudden gusts of wind.
Sounds like a great day Busby.
Absolutely sallivj, we are fortunate to live here! Busby.
2 refurbished wheels, with Tyres, Chain and Sprockets, new rear Disc.
Was going to take it for MOT, but noticed front brake light switch not working, so have ordered one off eBay, will be hear Friday.
Changed the Plugs, Changed the Coolant and balanced the Carbs. It's like a caged beast now.
My bike has been in a partly disassembled state for the past 3 weeks until now; what started as a handlebar swap (with grips and bar-end weights for good measure) became a more in depth servicing.
Prior to this, I had tinkered with the mixture screws on the carbs to try and see at what setting they were, in the process I partly destroyed the head of one of them (tiny brass head plus hard-turning screw = disaster), and it was left screwed in 1/3rd of a turn more than the other which was enough to make the engine run a bit rough.
While putting on my new handlebar, I took time to clean and check the switches and cables and found out the accelerator pull cable was just holding by a thread of wire, time to change!
But to change this cable, you need to remove the carbs (unless you have very long and flexible fingers), so I decided to take this opportunity to service them and change that broken mixture screw.
I ordered a set of new seals, a new mixture screw, as well as a full screw set replacement (stainless steel, allen heads) and proceeded to disassemble and clean the bits in contact with fuel and the passage ways with brake cleaner and compressed air. Was not so bad, apart from some deposit at the bottom of the bowls and a bit around the mixture screws, the jets were a bit corroded but clean.
I finally put everything back together today, I set the mixture screws 3 turns out (vs 2.5 originally) since I have an aftermarket LeoVince exhaust and it pops quite happily on overrun. The battery was a bit too weak after cranking for a while to refill the carbs bowls so I charged it back up; the engine then started easily and running way smoother than it has ever been (to my ear).
I adjusted the idle to 1200 RPM warm and Voilà! Will take her for a spin tomorrow to see if everything is good (will need to get used to that new OEM style handlebar, the previous one was wider).
Let me see. I bought my CB500S and joined this forum maybe 4 or 5 years ago and the battery that was in the bike - which I think may have been the OEM has just died. Graciously, at home after a run, and not stranding me miles away. I love this bike.
Had that test ride today, what a blast! The engine is now purring like a kitten from idle to low revs before turning into the lion we all know (I might get carried away there ;P).
No more jitter at very low revs, sharp throttle response, I just wish I had done that carb cleaning and mixture adjustment way sooner. And this is without any carb balancing, which I'll keep for when I proceed to check those valves clearances sometime in the future.
Well that was yesterday, I bought a Christmas present for the bike a Delkevic 420mm oval silencer and a K&N air filter on line from eBay.
Both were posted out the same day, and today I received an email from Delkevic that it had already left the Uk, great service, so both should be here by Thursday latest!
Today I changed the plugs and reset the idle. The old plugs were suprisingly old!! given the condition of the bike in general, gone is the stutter at low speeds and the pick up has significantly improved and the bike is a lot smoother.
Also The screen had some nasty scratches in it not obvious from the photos, but I saw a full S frontal fairing for sale on eBay for £55, with an almost new MRA touring screen in it and the pocket box was complete with lid. On the basis the MRA screen new is about £100 and a new box £30 (I Think) I thought it was a good buy, which it was, that arrived today so I fitted the screen and swopped the box over. I can now sell the Front fairing here for about 35 euro + as they are rare over here. Will let you know how the rest of the improvements go.
The salt is down now, sun is low early evening so less fun on two wheels..
Gave mine a quick run out today, only 30 miles but brought a smile to my face.
I did like the Triumph vibe. Lot of £'s for their kit mind and I'm sure there's a lot of buying-into-the-brand a la Harley, just with decent bikes.
Felt Honda were trying too hard, their one man and his amp playing Lynard Skynard and assorted 70's American rock gave the game away for their target audience. Did notice the lack of sports bikes generally too. The other japanese makers stands were ok if a little flat.
Most bizzare was the number of old-name brands popping up, Matisse (very nice hand made kit), Norton (got the 70's look sorted and even Brough at £60k a bike for something TE Shaw would have been proud of.
Little for the bargain hunters I thought but a good day sitting on bikes and taking pictures of bikes my cb5 would run rings around.

The Taskforce, made up of representatives from across these sectors was created at a Chief Executive summit convened by HRH The Prince of Wales in early 2017. Its mandate was to address the practical dynamic of how to design better multi-sector collaboration to innovate fintech solutions for sustainability. The 10 recommendations in its report, Catalysing Fintech for Sustainability: Lessons from multi-sector innovation, represent insights gathered from an intense six-month period of collaboration. The findings are most relevant to these sectors but also to governments, entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
The report proposes that every 'Fintech for Sustainability' catalyst would support a portfolio of innovation projects, each focused on a specific challenge. Each round of innovation would be anchored by at least one organisation with the commercial motivation, and the ability, to implement the solution at scale and each would specifically aim to help more capital to become available to deliver at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Taking the time to design for industry-wide scale would be paramount.

Metroid Dread Studio hits with poor organization and management allegations
Image: Nintendo
Following a controversy over the in-game credit policy of Metroid Dread developer Mercury Steam staff, further allegations suggesting suspicious management practices and employee treatment in the Spanish studio of Castlevania Lords of Shadows maker Has surfaced in the last few days. Games, Metroid: Samus Returns, and, of course, the latest entry in the Metroid series.
Spanish website Anait Games After talking to several ex-staff about their time in the studio working on Dread, we released more information. Programmers and artists working on the game will talk about management and organizational issues on Mercury Steam, as well as a negative and stressful culture.
This article details various complaints throughout development. In one area, an "overscope" that required a cut on the Nintendo side was involved. The period from April to July 2020, when Nintendo checked the progress of the game and made various cuts to address possible bottlenecks in the art pipeline. "There were about 120 movies to do, but they were too big. Overscope"A former programmer says ( Google Translation) The person who left the studio immediately after. Another significant reduction from the previous year is also mentioned.
The development of Metroid Dread is "quite chaotic. Many times, giving me instructions, my lead and game director were inconsistent with each other," says another programmer. Another artist tells Anait about the management style that is being practiced in the studio.
They don't trust the workers at all, which shows that. You don't feel the value. There is always a bad atmosphere and is generally very tense.
The punishment in the studio is said to range from "isolating workers to turning the group into the same sudden dismissal."
Elsewhere, there are allegations of improper treatment of staff and contractors regarding payroll negotiations and a negative assessment of the studio's response to the pandemic. "The pandemic isn't well managed. It was a complete and complete mess," said one programmer about the unsafe anti-COVID measures adopted at work because staff couldn't work on the project remotely. I will explain.
A disagreement in the affairs department's response to employee dissatisfaction is cited, one example of which is the right of workers to leave the office to vote in Madrid's community elections, which are questioned due to current development status. It is detailed. At that time.
The article also touches on the credit debate, suggesting the fear of speaking in public as a factor that has so far silenced people.
I think they are playing a bit with the fact that many people don't dare to speak in public.I know two people who aren't properly credited, but I understand they're afraid to complain because they seem to be trying to sink your career
Another worker details:
The main leaders know a lot of people and if they have problems with you, they can destroy your career.They talk bad about you and don't mind ruining your career, and that's why people don't talk
The Metroid Dread was launched on October 8th and recorded overwhelming popularity and strong sales. The credit controversy and these new claims don't seem to affect the momentum of the game, but it's certainly annoying to hear stories like this, especially if you're mirroring. Similar claims About the management and culture of Mercury Steam, created many years ago Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Released.
We discussed the issue of credit in a talking point article on the subject that was written before these new claims surfaced. Mercury Steam has responded to previous credit issues, but has not yet commented on these latest claims. We will update this article when the statement is released.
