GODS OF WAR! SWORD MASTER faces the fight of his life against a mysterious warrior woman in our time – and a horrifying battle against CHIYOU, THE GOD OF WAR, in the past! What's real and what's a nightmare – and what does it reveal about the true nature of LIN LIE'S terrifying sword? Meanwhile, in New York, Sword Master and SHANG-CHI face an entirely different God of War in a conflict that could precipitate a massive shift of power in Marvel's mighty pantheons!
Sword Master continues to be a hidden gem in the always-long list of Marvel publications, delivering a highly original and truly entertaining story that hinges on a dangerous family mystery.
The action horror genre is one that I personally feel doesn't get quite enough credit. While each of the Sword Master issues so far have been packed full of action, including this one, the horror elements are when series starts to truly shine. Honestly, who doesn't want to see an actual demon severed in half by a divine weapon of three Emperors?
We get a new character introduction and some dramatic developments, but the appearance of Chiyou the God of War is what makes this issue a real delight. We are thrust into a battlefield where Chiyou is slaughtering everyone in sight after the "crazy lady" who just saved Lin Lie plunged his father's magical sword into his chest. The visuals are nothing short of stunning and the implications are thrilling. Though we are only just introduced to this wild scenario, it's a critical moment for Lin Lie that will hopefully shed some light on his situation in the coming issues.
The pacing of this story so far lends itself toward the notion that this is a fully realized narrative that knows exactly where it is going. It isn't episodic or even all that concerned with hitting typical tropes for comics. It feels wholly focused on just telling this origin story at its own pace and it's all the better for it. There is a very interesting origin at the heart of this series, but hopefully it can remain focused on that aspect.
We also get another short story from Pak and company continuing the adventures of Lin Lie and Shang-Chi. I wouldn't say it's inconsequential by any means, because we are once again dealing with the God of War, just very much not the same one as the previous story. I have to say, seeing him as just another buff guy is a bit disappointing after his counterpart's rather epic introduction just a few pages back. However, the short story is still engaging and something I look forward to reading after the main story.
Overall, Sword Master #3 continues an intricately told origin story with all the right ingredients for something great. It still feels like it is on the verge of exploding into this gorgeously epic journey of self discovery, but hopefully the story begins to take us there sooner rather than later.
Sword Master #3 feels wholly focused on telling Lin Lie's origin story at it's own pace, and this issue is all the better for it.

Storytelling has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and discovering comic books opened up incredible worlds that I continue to explore today. A few of my own favorites include Alan Moore's Watchmen, Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and Geoff Johns' entire Green Lantern run. I look forward to offering opinions and insight on some of the best stories being told today.

President Obama is popular, but world leaders are finding it easy to say no to him.
The U.S. president is popular, but world leaders are finding it easy to defy his wishes.
And with the exception of the first year after 9/11—the era of good will toward America—it was indeed rather common for international players to follow Stieglitz's advice. "France and Germany dug in for another diplomatic battle when they rejected American proposals for a new UN resolution on Iraq"; "Saudi Arabia rebuffed President Bush's request to immediately pump more oil to lower record prices"; "NATO rebuffs Bush on troop restrictions in Afghanistan"; "Russia rebuffs U.S. call to rethink $1bln Venezuela arms deal"; "the Bush administration is neither loved nor feared in growing sectors of the international community—increasingly, it is simply being ignored." The list could go on and on.
Enter the Obama administration and the much-anticipated Obama effect on global public opinion. Even before the 2008 election, "the world" preferred Obama over McCain by more than a 3-to-1 margin, according to Gallup. Obama, concluded a June 2009 study conducted by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, "has the confidence of many publics around the world—inspiring far more confidence than any other world political leader." In 16 countries, approval of U.S. leadership has increased compared with last year (Gallup, again).
Obama had the advantage of stepping into the teeny-tiny shoes of his very unpopular predecessor. "Bush's popularity in the United States has sunk to the level of Richard Nixon's just before he resigned from office. The president's standing abroad is still worse," observed a report by the Pew Research Center. One blog post summarized the situation simplistically but succinctly: "Arab opinion: Bush bad, Obama good." So the stage was set for Obama to make his pitch and win over allies and foes. But as everybody knows by now, things didn't work out that way. World leaders accustomed to saying no monitored the new administration for a while and then resumed their old habits.
Russia kept placing obstacles on the road to tougher sanctions against Iran; Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu refused to freeze all settlement activities as the administration demanded; the North Koreans said no to repeated attempts at talks; at the Copenhagen climate-change summit, the "agreement the United States reached with Brazil, China, India and South Africa lacked commitments to achieve its stated goals"; the Iranians didn't show any sign of appreciation for Obama's attempt to have more civilized conversation aimed at curbing their nuclear ambitions; the Cubans, with whom Obama had also vowed to have more constructive dialogue, now call the president "imperial and arrogant." Not even Mahmoud Abbas, the very weak Palestinian president, was convinced to resume talks with Israel. This list is gets longer every day.
Of course, every no merits its own explanation. In some cases (Saudi Arabia, Israel), it was lack of preparation on Obama's side. In others (Iran), the naiveté or wishful thinking of an inexperienced president. With certain regimes (Cuba, North Korea), it was simply business as usual. And still other countries (Russia, Palestine) might still let Obama have some kind of progress to show for his diplomatic efforts.
The president has made many mistakes. Some were seemingly harmless—like his failed last-minute attempt to bring the Olympics to Chicago. And some were far more worrisome, such as Obama's disastrous meeting with Saudi King Abdullah, in which the king "launched a tirade" about refusing to "show reciprocal gestures to Israel," as Obama had requested.
Still, these mistakes don't explain the shift back to the all too familiar Bush-years pattern of saying no to the American president. It isn't just that that no one has cut Obama any slack. World leaders seem to be taking pleasure in rebuffing him, disappointing him, even, in some cases, mocking him. French President Nicolas Sarkozy famously called Obama an "inexperienced, ill-prepared" leader.
Obama can write—and he can speak—but if he can't fight, he'll find it hard to achieve his goals. If he can't fight, he isn't scary. And evidently, being popular didn't help him much. In fact, you might even say that being popular made it more difficult for Obama to succeed. He was too popular for his own good, annoyingly popular, distractingly popular. When a TV interviewer asked Sarkozy whether there was "competition for leadership" between him and Obama, the Frenchman responded, "there's no competition," but he was demonstrably annoyed.
Obama's popularity with the people of the world is something local leaders feel an instinctive urge to resist. No one is pleased when a foreign politician is more loved and respected than he is. And in many cases, opposition is the trouble. For Netanyahu and Abbas, resisting Obama was politically beneficial. Their "people" appreciated the leaders' newly discovered chutzpah. Unhinged by Obama's conciliatory tone, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez suggested that the president is the devil without worrying much about possible consequences. Iranians have more confidence in Obama than they had in Bush—only more reason for supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to point out that he can't tell the difference.
In fact, no world leader has paid a price for disappointing Obama. With Obama so nice and so conciliatory, risking retaliation by the White House doesn't seem all that dangerous. If resisting Bush's policies was a political necessity, encouraged and driven by the anger of the masses (ask Britain's Tony Blair about that), resisting Obama has become trendy, almost cool, because it gives world leaders the chance to stand taller, to be an equal member of the club of the clashing rock stars. Imagine the most popular boy in class asking a girl out. Imagine that after much consideration the girl says no. Not even you are good enough for me.


Former Assemblyman Chris Norby is out on bail Thursday after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment, Fullerton police said. This is just the latest in a series of domestic issues dating back to his days as an Orange County supervisor.
Fullerton police were summoned to Norby's home Wednesday afternoon. Norby, 64, was taken into custody the same day and booked at the Fullerton Police Department Jail. He was released a few hours later after posting a $10,000 bond, police said.
Though authorities have refused to release more information about the case, Norby said Thursday that he believes his wife, Martha Norby, allegedly went to Fullerton police with accusations that he abused her. Martha Norby is Norby's fourth wife.
The Republican served as councilman and mayor in Fullerton before joining the Orange County Board of Supervisors. He was elected to the 65th Assembly District seat in a 2010 special election, but he lost his Assembly reelection bid in 2012 to Sharon Quirk-Silva, a Democrat.
This incident is not Norby's first run in with the law. Norby was investigated in 2010 after a deliveryman called police to say he overheard an argument between Norby and his wife. Criminal charges were not filed in that case due to insufficient evidence. In 2012 the state Fair Political Practices Commission dismissed allegations that Norby had misused campaign money to pay for a motel stay in 2007, when he was experiencing marital troubles during his third marriage. The state's ethics watchdog agency found that the $340 charge was properly paid for because it served a governmental purpose by helping Norby study how the homeless and transient population relies on motels.
The current case against Norby will be forwarded to the district attorney's office, which will decide whether to file charges. His arraignment is scheduled for March 19.
No other details on the arrest were immediately released.

In Letter to Minister, Haryana Woman Confesses She Killed Husband 2 Years Ago, Says 'Hang Me'
The woman further wrote how she never spoke a word about this to anyone and has been suffering from guilt.
Ambala: In a bizarre event, a woman in Ambala handed over a strange letter to Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on Monday, 'confessing' that she killed her police officer-husband two and a half years back.
The woman named Sunil Kumari, met the home minister on Monday at his residence when he was listing public grievances and handed him the letter. Apparently riddled with guilt, she further said in the letter that she wanted to be hanged for the crime.
In the letter, Kumari described how she killed her husband Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Rohtas Singh, who, she claimed was an alcoholic. Acting upon the letter, a case has now been registered.
In the letter, the woman wrote how on July 15, 2017, her husband reached home heavily drunk and started abusing her, during which he fell down. He was about to vomit after the fall when Kumari gagged him with a piece of cloth, following which he choked on food.
The woman further wrote that she never spoke a word about this to anyone and has been suffering from guilt.
After her confession, the woman was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder under the section of the Indian Penal Code. Later, she was arrested and handed over to the Mahila Police station for further investigation.

Following a lengthy career in corporate finance and consulting, Dr. Shutters completed a PhD in Biology in 2009 at Arizona State University and went on to complete a postdoc in Applied Economics at the University of Vigo, Spain, and a postdoc on complex systems (urban systems focus) at Arizona State University. His research is focused on identifying and measuring interconnectivity in urban systems, particularly of more cryptic phenomena such as information networks and economic interdependencies. Focusing on countries with adequate data on their metropolitan areas, he uses big data analytics and complex systems science to map and analyze how interconnectivity not only enhances efficiency, but also increases fragility and leads to cascading effects. He works closely with community stakeholders to translate his research into decision tools for economic and workforce development. His secondary focus is on trade networks of primarily agricultural commodities and how the structure of those networks relates to social stability and vulnerabilities. His long term goal is to contribute to the founding of a new science of cities and to create novel decision tools that facilitate a city's transition to a more sustainable, resilient, and knowledge-driven economy.

The Party Wall: Buzz Lightyear Rocketship Featured by "Catch My Party"
Buzz Lightyear Rocketship Featured by "Catch My Party"
This Party Wall is really taking off (excuse the pun)!!
The rocketship from my son's Toy Story Party was featured by the Catch My Party Blog!
I saw that post! I am intrigued on how you made the ship?!
It's made with cardboard boxes, paint, glue and LOTS of love, time and effort! It was worth it to see one happy little birthday boy!
Please share how you did it? as i can not picture in my head how with boxes? mind freeze.
I was wondering how you got the SR with the rocket ship(on the wings) and the space rangers sign, was this borrowed from somewhere on the internet, or done by hand?

            }
        }
        private ObjectSet<Deliveries> _Deliveries;

In deliveries i havnt any null.
Where is problem ?

A: columns.Bound accept only primitive as int or string.
You can't aggregate or transform object as your example :
o.Deliveries.Sum(m=>m.deliveryTime)

You do create in Deliveries object a parameter as this :
public int SumDeliveries
{
  get { return this.Sum(m=>m.deliveryTime); }
}

and so you can bind this on grid.

A person's chances of surviving certain high-risk surgeries vary depending on the hospital, according to newly available data.
New Jerseyans weighing where to go for one of four types of surgeries can turn to a Leapfrog Group report released today, which is part of a broader effort to increase hospital quality and inform patients' decisions.
The report calculated patients' odds of surviving based on 2013 data reported by the hospitals. Both the survival rates for 2013 and the number of each type of surgery were factored into each hospital's predicted survival rate, which was also adjusted for the health of the patients.
While Leapfrog Group officials said the data would be useful to those making decisions about where to have surgeries, it also should be used with caution. The particular surgeons are essential to the success of a procedure, and the annual data for each hospital can be based on small numbers.
The four procedures considered in the report were: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, which treats an enlarged vessel that supplies blood to the body; aortic valve replacement, a heart surgery; surgery to remove all or part of the pancreas; and surgery to remove all or part of the esophagus.
These surgeries were chosen because they're relatively common, high risk, and their measurement has been endorsed nationally by organizations seeking to improve healthcare quality.
"There is such tremendous variation in hospital performance," said Erica Mobley, a Leapfrog Group spokeswoman.
For abdominal aortic aneurysms, the top New Jersey performer was Morristown Medical Center, where patients' predicted survival is 98.7 percent. The lowest was Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, at 94.8 percent, which was below the national average of 97 percent but well above the worst hospital nationally, which was at 86 percent.
For aortic valve replacements, eight New Jersey hospitals were rated as having better-than-average predicted survival odds, while three -- Cooper University Health Care in Camden, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden -- were worse than average. The report didn't provide more detailed data for most hospitals for this surgery.
For pancreas removal, Cooper University Health Care had the highest predicted survival odds, at 99.4 percent, while three hospitals tied for the worst, at 86.3 percent: Inspira Medical Center Vineland, JFK Medical Center in Edison, and Jersey City Medical Center. The national average was 91 percent, while the worst performer nationally was at 81 percent.
For esophagus removal, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick had the best predicted survival odds, at 94.1 percent, while six hospitals were tied for the worst, at 88.4 percent: Englewood Hospital and Medical Center; Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune; JFK Medical Center; Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen; University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro; and Virtua Memorial Hospital in Mount Holly. The national average was 91 percent.
Of 71 New Jersey hospitals asked to participate, 62 submitted data. But many of those didn't have enough surgeries to be included in one or more categories.
Leapfrog Group officials said hospitals with lower rates could learn from higher performers.
"Hospitals need to be following best practices for the performance of these procedures," and ensure that surgeons -- as well as the staff members who help patients with followup and recovery -- are well trained, Mobley said.
While a goal of releasing the report is to improve hospital performance nationally, the 2013 numbers didn't reflect an upward trend. For three of the surgeries, predicted survival odds were relatively flat, while the share of hospitals meeting Leapfrog Group standards actually dropped in 2013 for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
"We're also using this to educate the public in general that this information exists and that there is this tremendous variation, so they should be looking up a hospital before they have these procedures done," Mobley said.
Amanda Melillo, a research associate with the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, said institute officials are hopeful that publicly reporting the data will contribute to improvements.
"However, we think you need to be careful drawing state-based rather than national conclusions given the relatively small number of these procedures," Melillo said, adding that the institute appreciated the openness of the hospitals that reported their data. The institute works with the Leapfrog Group to encourage hospital participation.
"We think it demonstrates their commitment to transparency and improvement," she said.
The Leapfrog Group is a Washington, D.C., nonprofit started by employers with the goal of improving hospital quality. Castlight Health, a San Francisco healthcare data company, analyzed the information. The report is the second of a series of six, which began last month with a report on maternal health.

"The Happiest Show on Earth" art exhibition opens Saturday in Culver City
Posted by Fred (Fred Patten) on Thu 5 Sep 2013 - 22:30
Flayrah has published announcements of several art exhibitions at the WWA gallery in Culver City, California. The exhibition "The Happiest Show on Earth" will be on display there from September 7th through October 5th, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 7th from 7–10 p.m.
"The Happiest Show on Earth" consists of 89 paintings by 54 artists, showing their interpretations of famous Walt Disney characters including many anthropomorphic ones – Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, Robin Hood and Little John, Goofy, Bambi, and more. You can guess the general artistic approach by some of the artists' pseudonyms: Beast Brothers, GORElla, Kill the Giant, and Super Ugly. Would you pay three and four figures for these? Here they all are; you can buy them online at the link above.
The WWA gallery (WWA = Wonderful World of Animation) is at 9517 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, California 90232; (310) 836-4992; in the Culver City Art District, just a few blocks from the Culver Hotel where Judy Garland and the Munchkins stayed during the filming of the 1939 The Wizard of Oz. Look for metered street parking. The gallery's hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; closed Mondays.

You've got links to everything else. Here's one to the Culver Hotel. To add a bit more historical detail, real estate developer Harry Culver raced during the 1910s to lay out Culver City and Culver Boulevard while Los Angeles was expanding rapidly in his direction. Today Culver City is an independent city entirely surrounded by Los Angeles. (I lived in Culver City for thirty-five years.)

March 15, 2012 | Matthew R. Arnold, Esq.
According to a recent report by Fox Charlotte, there have been two teens hit by cars while walking home from a local high school in little more than a week. The accidents took place at one of the most dangerous intersections in the city and it has become a source of some concern for many of the residents of that area and the parents of the children who have to cross it.
The crosswalk is at the intersection of Matthews-Mint Hill Road and Swain Drive. A 15-year-old boy sustained minor injuries after he was struck by a car while walking along Matthew-Mint Hill Road. According to the parents of students at Butler High School, the intersection presents several dangers.
One of the students, Eddie Hudima, told Fox Charlotte that he knew of a lot of accidents at that intersection. Humida's parents did not know that there have been several accidents along that intersection and when Fox Charlotte told them about a young student being hit by a car there, they were very concerned. Humida crosses that intersection every day after he comes from Junior ROTC practice after school.
Residents of the area have noted that there are several problems with that intersection. One of the problems is that the intersection does not have a crosswalk sign or a warning sign for the students that cross the street. Another problem is that there is a "No U-Turn" sign that the majority of drivers ignore, which increases the risk of an accident. Residents believe that a stop light at that intersection will significantly decrease the chances of having an accident with a pedestrian.
After Fox Charlotte brought the matter to the attention of traffic officials, the North Carolina Department of Transportation promised that it would investigation whether the intersection could use some improvements. It is important that the state act after being made aware of the potential dangers of this intersection. Now that it has been made aware, the state of North Carolina and the North Carolina Department Transportation could face potential legal liability if there are no improvements at that intersection.
It is difficult to file a civil action against a municipality. The North Carolina Civil Tort Claims Act governs how an individual can file an action against a state or a state agency. It is complicated legislation. It is advisable that if you, or someone you know, believe you may have a potential claim against the state of North Carolina, please contact the personal injury lawyers at Arnold & Smith, PLLC at 704-370-2828 for a free consultation.

I need to have all MARKS (total of 33) on final table, but the query is only showing 23 due to there were no flight for any specific month / year (for ex: 7/2020).
I have got a join with table TT1 (that have a column with the last flight date log) together table AF (that have flight date column filled only if there are flights logged).
Please find below the query I have built so far:

A: As the question contains no specific test data and actual/expected query results, please have a look at the following demo, which may help.  Suppose we have 2 tables: one for "scheduled" flights, one for "actual" flights.
TABLES
create table TT (  -- "scheduled" flights
  scheduled date
, aircraft varchar2( 16 )
);

create table AF (  -- actual
  flightdate date
, aircraft varchar2( 16 )
);

-- actual flights
-- aircraft 1: every month
-- aircraft 2: months 2 and 3 only
-- aircraft 3: month 3 only
-- NO FLIGHTS in month 4
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-01-17', 'aircraft_1' ) ;
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-02-15', 'aircraft_1' ) ;
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-16', 'aircraft_1' ) ;
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-02-17', 'aircraft_2' ) ;
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-15', 'aircraft_2' ) ;
insert into AF ( flightdate, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-16', 'aircraft_3' ) ;

-- schedule for months 1-4:
-- every aircraft is scheduled to do one flight per month
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-01-10', 'aircraft_1' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-02-25', 'aircraft_2' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-07', 'aircraft_3' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-12', 'aircraft_1' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-01-25', 'aircraft_2' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-02-07', 'aircraft_3' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-02-12', 'aircraft_1' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-03-25', 'aircraft_2' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-01-07', 'aircraft_3' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-04-12', 'aircraft_1' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-04-25', 'aircraft_2' );
insert into TT ( scheduled, aircraft ) values ( date '2020-04-07', 'aircraft_3' );

Query
If you write a query containing a LEFT JOIN, and include the year/month in the ON clause (as you had mentioned "flight for any specific month" in your question), you may get closer to the solution eg
select
  to_char( TT.scheduled, 'YYYY-MM' ) tt_ym
, TT.aircraft tt_aircraft
, TT.scheduled
, AF.flightdate
, case when AF.flightdate is null then 'flight cancelled' end comment_
from TT left join AF
  on to_char( AF.flightdate, 'YYYY-MM' ) = to_char( TT.scheduled, 'YYYY-MM' )
    and TT.aircraft = AF.aircraft
order by tt_ym, tt_aircraft
;

     TT_YM    TT_AIRCRAFT    SCHEDULED    FLIGHTDATE            COMMENT_
__________ ______________ ____________ _____________ ___________________

Street market returns to Llanfyllin
By Sue Austin | Llanfyllin | News | Published: Jun 3, 2019
A new street market is being launched in Llanfyllin this week.
The Town Council is organising a seasonal Farmers Market on the first Thursday of the month during the summer.
Llanfyllin has traditionally always had a Thursday Market and councillors are appealing to traders to come forward to take a stall at the monthly event to boost numbers.
They say they would like the venture to boost trade, not only for the regular market stall holders but for shop owners within Llanfyllin.
The cost of hiring a stall, in the High Street, is just £5.
Organisers say that already many people have expressed an interested in having stalls throughout the summer and that the June market is already fully booked.
The first market will be on Thursday will others on July 4, August 1 and September 5.The aim is to help local producers and also to have a market to attract visitors to the town and boost trade in shops.
Councillor Jane Carrington said: "I'm sure that the community would all agree that it would be lovely to see more stalls return to the once thriving Thursday street market. At present we are trying to source particular stall holders selling cheese, plants/flowers, preserves, cakes and pastries so as not to infringe on custom throughout businesses in Llanfyllin too much.
Deputy Mayor, Councillor Tracey Windsor, said: "If you have a stall and would be interested in having a pitch, please send a message via The Town Council Page or ring me on 07967 996418. The Farmers Market will not only be good for local producers and stallholders but also Llanfyllin itself by increasing the number of visitors shopping in town. Let's put Llanfyllin back on the map."
Oscar Wiffen from local business, Wiffen's Tiffen, said the business was really looking forward to having a stall at the July market.
On the council's social media people have praised the council's initiative.
Nicola Moreton said: "Well done Llanfyllin council for the effort you are putting in to bringing this town together."
"It is somewhere that town folk can browse the stalls in the town, meet up with friends, have a cuppa with no transport needed and hopefully grab a bargain."

Bank robbery is the crime of stealing from a bank even though bank staff, and typically bystanders, are subjected to force, violence or the threat of violence.
With the increasing propaganda wars, we thought a reminder of just how naive a lot of Westerners are when it comes to their news-feed. As Arjun Walia, of , notes, Dr. Ulfakatte went on public tv stating that he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents below his personal name, also adding that noncompliance with these orders would outcome in him losing his job.
Soon after becoming wounded on June 16, 'Keefe disappeared. On August 1, 1954, he was arrested at Leicester, Massachusetts, and turned over to the Boston police who held him for violating probation on a gun-carrying charge. 'Keefe was sentenced on August five, 1954, to serve 27 months in prison. As a protective measure, he was incarcerated in the Hampden County Jail at Springfield, Massachusetts, rather than the Suffolk County Jail in Boston.
I've had to miss various days of operate and primarily put my life on hold. I haven't slept or eaten appropriately in days, and I'm exhausted. My strength is gone, and as I choose through the wreckage, clean up this mess and try to piece my life back with each other, I recognize the only thing that sounds attractive now is to go spend a few months near a beach, someplace calm and sunny. Someplace like Mexico, or Bali.
Even though a generation has passed, the investigation is no cold case. Amore and the FBI marked the heist's 23rd and 25th anniversaries by sharing their leading theory of the case—a tale of petty thieves in Dorchester and Mafia guys in Connecticut and Philadelphia. This year, as the 26th anniversary of the theft approached, Amore sat down with Boston for a much more forward-seeking conversation: on how the case may well end.

Paris Fashion Week is drawing to a close, after the likes of Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Balmain, Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant have shown off wonderful collections for the upcoming spring/summer 2016 season.
However it was British fashion brand, Alexander McQueen that had everybody talking, after a spellbinding collection which left many singing creative director, Sarah Burton's praises.
The show opened with a variety of sweeping dresses, covered in ruffles, tiered chiffon layers, sheer lace and beautiful embroidery. High neck collars gave a hint towards a Victoriana love affair while the amazing, and I really do mean amazing, level of hand embroidery could easily be carried off as Haute Couture rather than just a ready-to-wear collection. It was romantic and whimsical, with models wearing minimal makeup and their hair tied back in a loose bun; flyaway strands surrounding the face as though they were a modern day Tess of the D'urbevilles. Necklaces came softly layered over tiny white crop tops and jackets while the beautiful dusky pinks, neutral beige and off white colours looked so pretty against each.
There was a strong sense of unearthly beauty and a feminine feeling, with so many historical references and intricate detailing adding finishes touches. There were Indian influences too, with loose trousers worn underneath skirts with small jackets on top, embellished sleeveless tops with casual blue jeans which came with multiple rips down the front and bold red and white jackets. Sarah Burton presented a modern McQueen girl who still carried a sense of intrigue and drama.
A lot of the dresses were sheer, in either black or white which added a sense of mystery and while the floral maxi dresses which hung a-symmetrically were very majestic and regal. The show ended with various floral patterns decorated on dresses then came the show stopping feathered skirts, warrior style corsets in monochrome and yards of fabric gathered delicately across the bottom of the dresses. Not only were there longer dresses, but shorter prom styles were also presented adorned in more frills and high necks with large buttons along the middle.
A truly magical and stunning collection which it seems could very easily be the highlight of Paris Fashion Week.

Jays News
The Blue Jays select LHP Ricky Tiedemann with third-round pick
By Cam Lewis
The draft continues to roll!
Yesterday, the Blue Jays used their first-round pick on Gunnar Hoglund, a pitcher who fell a little bit in the draft due to having Tommy John surgery. Today, they used their third-round pick (they didn't have a second because of signing George Springer) on another pitcher, lefty Ricky Tiedemann.
Here's what MLB Pipeline has to say…
While the 2020 amateur season was cut short because of the pandemic, Tiedemann did manage to become a bit of a pop-up prospect who rose into MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prior to last year's Draft. The younger brother of Rangers Minor League right-hander Tai Tiedemann went undrafted in the five-round event and rather than head to San Diego State, he switched gears to Long Beach Junior College in order to be eligible this year. When Long Beach cancelled spring sports because of COVID-19, Tiedemann was on the move again, this time to Golden West College.
Tiedemann's overall profile of solid stuff, size and athleticism hasn't changed much in a year's time, but there's plenty to like. His fastball sits in the low-90s and will bump 93-94 mph at times, with more in the tank as he continues to add strength to his 6-foot-4 frame. His changeup flashes plus and his slider has gotten a bit tighter and more effective.
A good athlete who hit in the middle of his high school lineup, Tiedemann should be able to continue throwing strikes even if he starts throwing harder. He still hasn't been seen a ton, but given how hard it is to find projectable left-handed starters, scouts will be paying many visits to Golden West to see if Tiedemann is worthy of a top three or four round selection.
Here's a video from Prospect Pipeline of Tiedemann pitching in college…
And here's a video of him pitching from the New Balance Super Stars Series back in June…
