The well established Richmond Park Bowling Club, set in a suburb of Bournemouth, were the first opponents on the 2010 tour.
A scorching hot sun did not cool the enthusiasm of the two sides, but Pentyrch survived a late come back by the hosts to record a rare tour victory (120-86). Winning skips were Russell Howell, Margaret Farmer, Peter Neville & Don Wibley.
Next up was a trip inland to visit the small town of Downton who gave the tourists a great welcome, but the welcome ended when the match began !
(114-120). Undaunted by this defeat the tourists had an excellent post match reception and gained revenge by taking home a large selection of the raffle prizes !
(83-154). The only winning rink was skipped by Denzil Thomas, but just like the other hosting clubs Bath Bowling Club gave a fine welcome into their clubhouse for post match hospitality.
The much sought after Pentyrch Tourist of the Year trophy was presented to a delighted and hobbling Jim O'Dwyer.


April 28 -- This time of the year is almost always busy at the Centene Center. One example was seen on April 27, when the Mineral Area College held its tenth annual Athletics Banquet before a full house. During the evening it was noted that student athletes at the school tend to make higher grades than the student population at large. Four of those students honored scored a perfect 4 point average -- the highest attainable at the school as was noted in remarks by Jean Merrill-Doss, Dean of Students.

The Mesozoa are enigmatic, minuscule, worm-like parasites of marine invertebrates. It is still unclear as to whether they are degenerate platyhelminthes (flatworms) or truly-primitive, basal metazoans. Generally, these tiny, elusive creatures consist of a somatoderm (outer layer) of ciliated cells surrounding one or more reproductive cells. Decades ago, Mesozoa was classified as a phylum. But molecular phylogeny studies have shown that the mysterious mesozoans are polyphyletic. That is, they consist of at least two unrelated groups.
As a result of these recent findings in molecular biology, the label mesozoan is now often applied informally, rather than as a formal taxon. Some workers previously classified Mesozoa as the sole phylum of the lonely subkingdom Agnotozoa. Wikispecies places the mesozoans in kingdom protista.
In the 19th century, the Mesozoa were a wastebasket taxon for multicellular organisms which lacked the invaginating gastrula which was thought to define the Metazoa.
Mesozoa were once thought to be evolutionary intermediate forms between Protozoans and Metazoans, but now they are thought to be degenerate or simplified metazoa. Their ciliated larva are similar to the miracidium of trematodes, and their internal multiplication is similar to what happens in the sprocysts of trematodes. Mesozoan DNA has a low GC-content (40%). This amount is similar to ciliates, but ciliates tend to be binucleate. Others relate mesozoa to a group including annelids, planarians, and nemerteans.
The two main mesozoan groups are the Rhombozoa and the Orthonectida. Other groups sometimes included in the Mesozoa are the Placozoa and the Monoblastozoa.
Rhombozoa, or dicyemid mesozoans, are found in the nephridia of cephalopods (squid and octopuses). They range from a few millimeters long with twenty to thirty cells that include anterior attachment cells and a long central reproductive cell called an axial cell. This axial cell may develop asexually into vermiform juveniles or it may produce eggs and sperm that self-fertilize to produce a ciliated infusiform larva.
There are three genera: Dicyema, Pseudicyema and Dicyemennea.
Orthonectida are found in the body spaces of various marine invertebrates including tissue spaces, gonads, genitorespiratory bursae. This pathogen causes host castration of different species.
The best known of Orthonectida is the parasite of brittle stars. The multinucleate syncytial stage lives within tissues and spaces of the gonad but can spread into arms. It causes the destruction of starfish ovary and eggs to cause castration (the male gonads are usually unaffected). The stages of the plasmodium develop into more plasmodia by simple fragmentation; at some point, they decide to go sexual. The syncytia are monoecious (either male or female), but young syncytia can fuse to produce both male and female. The males are ciliated and smaller than the females. The females and the males leave the starfish and mate in the sea. Tailed sperm enters the female and fertilizes the numerous oocytes. Each oocyst produces a small ciliated larva which makes way to another star.

Il campo romano Hedemünden è considerato una delle prime fortificazioni romane, i cui resti si trovano vicino al corso inferiore del fiume Werra su una collina boscosa, detta Burgberg,  ai margini del villaggio di Hedemünden, un distretto di Hannover. Secondo le ricerche archeologiche, il ricco ritrovamento di origine romana suggerisce un campo militare romano all'epoca intorno alla nascita di Cristo.
Oltre a Kalkriese, il sito di Bentumersiel, il campo romano di Wilkenburg e l'area ritrovata sull'Harzhorn, è uno dei pochi siti romani della Bassa Sassonia.

Posizione
Il campo romano di  Hedemünden si trova circa 1,8 chilometri a nord-ovest del centro di Hedemünden sull'altopiano del Burgberg, alto 215 metri, una collina in gran parte boscosa sulla riva nord della Werra. Di fronte all'altro lato del fiume si trova la foresta di Kaufunger. In questo luogo si incontrano le propaggine collinari delle alture intorno al corso del Werra con quelle del bacino del Leine e del Weser.La collina del Burgberg, su cui è stato fondato il campo romano, offre una posizione strategica che domina su tutta la valle in cui scorre il fiume Werra. Direttamente sotto la montagna, il Werra era attraversabile attraverso un guado. Questo passaggio fluviale faceva parte probabilmente dell'antica via di comunicazione fra l' Assia settentrionale e la Bassa Sassonia meridionale, probabilmente già esistente fin dall'età del bronzo.

Scavo archeologico

Un muro circolare sulla collina del Burgberg è stata riconosciuta come tale nel corso del XIX secolo. Questa struttura considerato una fortificazione solitarie della recente età del ferro pre-romana, che, secondo alcune ipotesi, subì un riuso medievale nella stessa funzione nell'XI e XII secolo.

Già nel 1854 fu ritrovato un tesoretto di monete romane in un vaso di argilla fu realizzato nelle vicinanze della collina ad est di Hedemünden. Ad eccezione di due pezzi, la tipologia delle monete rimane sconosciuta, perché vennero fuse. Le due monete restanti sono datati all'epoca di Augusto.

Intorno agli anni novanta, dopo vari ritrovamenti fatti da tombaroli locali, furono iniziati a partire dal 2000 i primi sondaggi archeologici che portarono alla luce diversi oggetti metallici.
Gli scavi veri e propri iniziarono nel 2003 e hanno rivelato un totale di sei aree all'interno del sito. Tra il 2003 e il 2011 le 62 sezioni di scavo sono state raggruppate in macroaree, definite ciascuna come Campo (in tedesco Lager) I, II e IV su aree tra i 2 e i 90 m2. Scavi più grandi non sono stati effettuati, principalmente a causa delle difficoltà causate dalla copertura boschiva. Circa il 4,3% dell'area è stata archeologicamente esaminata, con la maggior parte di circa 1.300 m2 nel "Campo I".
Con i nuovi scavi furono trovati ancora oggetti militari romani, come proiettili di catapulta, frammenti di pilum e di fibule, ma anche monete sia romane che celtiche.

Significato storico
Secondo i reperti archeologici, il campo di Hedemünden fu fondato intorno all'11-9 a.C. Durò almeno fino all'8 o al 7 a.C., forse anche negli anni successivi a Cristo e fino alla battaglia di Varo. Alla fine, potrebbe aver avuto un ruolo di nuovo negli anni 15 e 16 d.C. durante le campagne di vendetta romane sotto Germanico. Il campo fu probabilmente costruito durante le campagne di Druso, la campagna dell'11 a.C. al Weser, su cui fu fondato il campo precedentemente non localizzato Aliso, e la campagna nel 9 a.C. verso l'Elba.

FYI, I was unable to actually build e-d-s from the release tarball, owing to some gtk-doc related problems – the install process refers to $(GTKDOC_REBASE), which is never defined anywhere, causing the install to fail with '–relative: command not found'.
I read somewhere that eog had the same problem, and had to put out a new release for it… I think it was relating to the gtk-doc version on the machine the release was made on.
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work… Sometimes progress is painful at first. So thanks for making evolution rock once again.
Glad to hear. About 2 month ago i just switched to gmail webmail, coz its just impossible to use evolution.
I hope u will hunt down memleaks as well as speed issue. Coz now it leaks a lot.
I'd love to give a recent version of Evolution a try so that I can drop Outlook once and for all even at work.


The member churches of the World Council of Churches (WCC) have been invited to make Sunday 24 April a day of memory of the Armenian genocide on its 90th anniversary.
This way of commemorating the tragic massacre of one-and-a-half million Armenians in Turkey and the deportation of another million from their homeland was recommended last February by the Council's central committee, following the report presented by its moderator, His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the See of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
In his address, Aram I called the church worldwide to rediscover the comprehensive ministry of healing and reconciliation, at the heart of which there must be truth and justice. With the painful story of his own people as an example, Aram I said: "The past haunts the victims; we cannot free ourselves from the past unless that past is duly recognized."
In its recommendation to commemorate what was the first genocide of the 20th century, the governing body stressed "the need for public recognition of the Armenian genocide and the necessity of Turkey to deal with this dark part of its history".
"I am personally in communion with you in prayers and in solidarity with the cause of your people," wrote the WCC general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia in an 11 April letter addressed to the Catholicos of All Armenians, Supreme Patriarch Karekin II.
Kobia also expressed his hope that the "intercessory prayers that the fellowship of churches will offer on Sunday, 24 April, will remind the world of the words of the gospel: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God".
In another letter sent to the Council's member churches on 14 April, the director of the WCC Commission of the Churches on International Affairs (CCIA) Mr Peter Weiderud voiced his hope that "services held all over the world on 24 April would encourage churches and Christians to reflect on truth, justice, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation and healing of society".

Eight Members of One Family Perish in Abu Dhabi House Fire
Phil Martin - Digital Editor
A 12-month-old infant, five children have died alongside two women in a fire that spread rapidly through a villa in the Baniyas area of Abu Dhabi on Tuesday 2nd October. Four other family members remain in a critical condition in hospital.
The fire is believed to have started around 0500 hours on the ground floor of the two-storey building and it is reported that those trapped were desperately calling for help as the fire developed.
Despite their best efforts, the fire was well established by the time Firefighters arrived on scene.
Following the tragedy, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Dubai's ruler and the UAE's prime minister and vice president, has said the country would install fire alarms in all citizens' homes.
An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.

Antarctica's grounding lines are retreating across the seafloor
April 2 (UPI) -- The grounding lines of Antarctica are on the retreat on the ocean floor. According to a new study by scientists at the University of Leeds, warm ocean water is shrinking Antarctica's underwater footprint.According to the new data, published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience, the Southern Ocean melted 565 square miles of underwater ice between 2010 and 2016.Antarctica's glaciers have been retreating at an average rate of 82 feet per year. But the rate retreat of the grounding lines of eight of the ice sheet's 65 largest glaciers is five times greater, roughly 410 feet per year.The most dramatic rates of grounding line retreat were measured along the coast of West Antarctica."Our study provides clear evidence that retreat is happening across the ice sheet due to oce...

Q: Twig - using variable I want to achive this is twig:
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.0.enabled) }}
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.1.enabled) }}
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.2.enabled) }}

....

but the number to be a variable.
I tried this:
{% set index = 0 %}
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.index.enabled) }}

Error: Method "index" for object "Symfony\Component\Form\FormView" does not exist

and this:
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.{{index}}.enabled) }}

Error: Expected name or number

and this:
{{ form_widget(form.orderItems.~index~.enabled) }}
Error: Expected name or number

It is possible to achieve this :(

A: Some digging suggests you use the 'attribute' function - see Accessing array values using array key from Twig.
I suppose that would be something like
form_widget(attribute(form.orderItems, index).enabled)

Unfortunately I can't easily test that at the moment, but it should get you on the right track.

A: I am solving the same problem now and getting "expected name or number error" when I want to access variable dynamically.
I can not find simple answer, how to dynamically replace some part of variable in twig.
But It works without first dot as was first comment here.
{{ form[othervariable value].vars.label }}

and NOT
{{ form.[value].name }}

110 Year Old British Woman Shares Her Secret To A Long Life
110 Year Old Northamptonshire Woman Shares Her Secret To A Long Life
Northamptonshire woman, 110, shares her secret to a long life
A 110-year-old woman said the secret to a long life was "healthy living, outdoor activities and fresh food".
Joyce Wooding celebrated her birthday on 6 September at Collingtree Park Care Home in Northampton.
She said she sometimes felt she was "too old".
"It's really too long to live because you've outlived your parents, your family – they've all gone – and my friends, most of them are gone now," she said.
Mrs Wooding was born in 1911, the same year as the coronation of King George V.
She is the 10th oldest person in the UK, according to the site Oldest in Britain, with Mollie Walker from Oxfordshire being the oldest at 112.

She has now received seven birthday cards from the Queen.
"You get one when you're 100, then you don't have another one until you're 105 – then you get one every year," she said.
image captionJoyce at Folkestone in 1928
Mrs Wooding – who had a sister and two brothers – said she lived "a real country life" growing up in the Northamptonshire village of Staverton with "the best parents you could wish for".
"My father was a farmer and we lived a very healthy life with a lot of homegrown food, our own pigs, hens and a big garden," she said.
"We spent a lot of time outside, not sitting with computers and things like they do today.
"We were out most of the time and had a very healthy upbringing with the best of food you could wish for – no takeaways or anything like that."

Mrs Wooding was too young to remember World War One, which broke out three years after her birth, but had memories of the Second World War.
"We used to do street warden [sic] and look for bombs with tin hats on and walk the streets to see if any had fallen," she said.
"You heard the roar of planes going over."
She married Leslie Scott Wooding in 1946, who had a manufacturing business in Northampton with a shop in the town where his wife worked worked for many years.
They lived in Wootton throughout their married life before his death in 1983.
image captionJoyce and her husband Leslie
Mrs Wooding said she had lost her independence reaching the age of 110.
"When you've been independent for so many years – you lose all that," she said.
"You rely on other people for everything.
"It's a long time to sit and do nothing when you've been used to being busy."

I have kind of a soft spot for the kinds of grassroots movements that are becoming commonplace in the world of gaming. Such movements have shown some success in recent history. Mass Effect 3 fans organized to get a somewhat competent ending to Mass Effect 3, while Operation Rainfall may have had something to do with the eventual stateside release of Xenoblade and The Last Story.
As reported by Destructoid, the latest fan movement focuses around Suikoden, a strategy RPG series that started on the PS1. The first two entries are hard to find PS1 titles, and the second could cost well over 100 dollars if you want to play it legitimately. Fans have banded together at the Facebook page Suikoden Revival Movement to try and convince Konami to release the game worldwide to the PSN. If you're a fan of the franchise, head on over to help out the cause. Good luck guys!
Might as well bring it over!


MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A legendary sportswriter in West Virginia is celebrating his 90th birthday.
Mickey Furfari started his writing career when he was a student at West Virginia University.
Furfari, a Morgantown native, is well known throughout West Virginia for his more than 65 years of writing about sports.
His career started in college at West Virginia University when he shared sports editor duties at The Daily Athenaeum with Jack Fleming from 1946-1947 and worked for the Associated Press in Huntington.
Furfari served in the U.S. Army in World War II from 1943-1946 and was the sports editor, during part of that time, for the Pacific Stars and Stripes.
Following his graduation from WVU's School of Journalism in 1948, he worked for the Charleston Gazette before returning to Morgantown in 1949 to fill a number of roles with Morgantown newspapers, mainly covering the Mountaineers, up until 1989.
Since then, he has worked as a special syndicated writer and columnist for newspapers throughout West Virginia. He produces four columns each week for five newspapers, even though he is hard of hearing and legally blind.
He said he still loves writing. "I have three (columns) for this week already," he said.
MetroNews affiliate WAJR-AM in Morgantown helped mark Furfari's 90th birthday with a special edition of "Morgantown AM" on Monday.
On the show, Furfari said he wants to keep writing about Mountaineers sports. "I have no plans to retire as long as the good Lord continues to give me good health," he said.
He said what motivated him at the beginning of his career is still the same. "I love people and the more I wrote, the more I just loved it," said Furfari.
Happy Birthday Mickey and give them hell.
It will make them work harder just like you have all these years.
His comments may have some negative overtones to them but can anybody really argue with the facts. That's really all he's doing is stating facts and asking questions.
Happy Birthday Mickey! I enjoy reading your column in the Journal here on the Eastern Panhandle. I especially enjoy reading about former athletes' lives.
Happy birthday Mickey and thank you for your years of service to West Virginia. My Dad and the rest of the family thinks the world of you.
Happy 90th birthday Mickey; I hope to read many more of your articles. As far as the people on here that whine because sometimes Mickey writes something they don't agree with.....well that is just too bad for them. They need to understand that Mickey is a journalist not a cheerleader.
Happy 90th birthday to a West Virginia legend.
Mickey is a True Treasure. 90 years of life,yes alot of things Change in ones life. If we all get to 90,there would be alot of things we don't like. Give Mickey a Break in some things he say's. I bought i think 8 copies of his book when he was at United Bank several years ago. Had him sign everyone of them for friends of mine. He has thousands of Great stories. Have him tell you the one how he told Coach Rupp at Ky. to stick it. He wouldn't give Mickey a Press Pass,because Mickey said something Rupp didn't like. Then Rupp told Mickey he would give him a press pass,and Mickey said keep your Damm Press Pass. Yes Mickey has done it his way for a long Time. Treasure Him,because there will never be another one like Him. He's alot like Beano Cook was.
Happy Birthday, Mickey! Keep on truckin'!
Pretty sure the point of the moment is a 90 year-old gentleman celebrating a birthday....not WVU, positive or negative.
I would like to see him write about the last 10 years or so. He goes too much in the past and his writing has hurt WVU . He seems to be extremely negative about Oliver Luck, Dana and Bob Huggins. I would like to see him write one article on postive things about WVU before he is no longer capable of writing. In the past three years he has destroyed all of his work in the past 62 years. I read his article to see if he has finally seen the light to write postive thoughts instead of negatively things.He must of have kinship with Big Larry as he only writes negatively about WVU.
@big JOHN - I GUESS THE TRUTH HURTS, but some WVU fans don't care about the TRUTH and people with GREAT CHARACTER. WVU just needs to hire people with GREAT CHARACTER to (FIX IT)!
At first, I was skeptical of William's comment, but then I saw all the capital letters and figured that must mean he really knows his stuff.
You tell me a better person for Athletic Director, football coach and basketball coach for the same money we are paying these three people.
As Mickey's granddaughter and WVU alum, I couldn't be prouder of his accomplishments throughout the many years of his career. He is still the sweet grandfather I know and love, and I will always appreciate & respect him for his passion of writing.
Well said Robyn. As a WV native and WVU alum, I really appreciate those with a passion for and dedication to the Mountain State. Your Grandfather is a staple of WV sports and an accomplished, wonderful man. I hope his 90th year continues to bring the excitement and love that have sustained his career all these years.
Your grandfather is one in a million. I grew up reading him & still love his column. He truly loves Mountaineer sports & Mountaineer traditions. He brings honor & respect to his profession & his community. You are so privileged to have him.
He is a damn good man, Robyn. Be very, very proud of a true WV institution. Happy Birthday Mickey!
People don't like Mickey anymore because he is truthful and tells it like it is.
People nowadays don't like or want that.
They want to hear someone like the staff of "Sportsline" (Tony and the gang)...who sugarcoats everything WVU does.
Mickey is more bitter than truthful. He wants us to stay in the past in terms of athletics. Every positive thing done by Oliver and President Clements has been bemoaned by Mickey.
We are in a far greater position in the Big 12 than we ever were in the Big East and before. Mickey needs to understand this.
Mickey Furfari is a TRUE MOUNTAINEER with GREAT CHARACTER. How many employees in WVU Athletic Dept. can you say that about? answer- NOT MANY, but BILL STEWART was that type of person!
A person of good character would not ask someone to dig up dirt on Dana like he did and he got lucky and kids were motivated because of actions of Rich Rod and Bill caused our recruiting to be awful while hel was coach at WVU.
Oh my dear God! You believed that crap about digging up dirt on Dana - that was put out by Ollie's mouthpieces. Ever wonder why in Stew's settlement agreement there was a strict confidentially rider? We sure couldn't have Stew out there telling his side of those events and bringing up evidence to back it up, now could we?
As to Stew's recruiting . . . T Austin, S Bailey, G Smith, Q Spain, just to name four - 3 of which are in the NFL and the other one will be very, very soon. Hell, Holgy's been winning with Stew's recruits and now that they are graduating out of the system, we'll see how it goes - and that's not negative, it is just saying we have to see how Holgy's recruits do.
WVU has been going down hill for the past 4 years? If so, do to the lack of good recruiting by the previous, aforementioned coach.
Would you prefer we still be in what has become of the Big East (i.e. the AAC) that has not future in the changes being made in college football.
I would much prefer playing in a conference with Texas, Oklahoma, and the rest over a conference that is not even good enough for Rutgers.
You may think it is about greed and money, but in reality it is all about relevance and the forward growth of this university. Of which I am a proud alum.

Chatfield's election as Michigan speaker pushed brothers out of House jobs
Beth LeBlanc
Lansing — Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield's younger brothers left positions in the lower chamber at the end of 2018 because of a rule that prohibits a supervisory relationship between family members.
Lee Chatfield, who became House speaker about 50 days ago, now oversees all business operations and employees for the state House, a position that would have placed the Levering Republican in a supervisory role over his brothers, Aaron and Paul Chatfield. He wasn't considered to have that administrative oversight responsibility as the House's No. 2 leader during the 2017-2018 session.
The brothers' departure was the "right thing for Michigan's taxpayers," Lee Chatfield's spokesman Gideon D'Assandro said in a statement.
"They decided together to go above and beyond to honor the intent of the policy and guarantee Michigan taxpayers peace of mind about their state government," D'Assandro said.
The Detroit News was unable to contact Paul or Aaron Chatfield.
The House has no policy that would prevent family members from working in the same chamber. But the House does prohibit family from being hired "if the appointment would create a supervisor-subordinate condition," House Business Director Doug Simon said.
Aaron and Paul Chatfield started working in the House in January 2017 and left Dec. 31, 2018 while Rep. Lee Chatfield served as speaker pro tempore to former Speaker Tom Leonard, according to the House Business Office. They are now in their mid-20s.
During his two years in Lansing, Aaron Chatfield worked as a legislative aide for Republican Rep. Aaron Miller of Sturgis, who chaired the House Elections and Ethics Committee. He started at a salary of $36,247 and received $37,300 in his second year.
Paul Chatfield worked for a few months in early 2017 for GOP freshman Rep. Sue Allor of Wolverine before moving on to caucus services. He made $40,000 his first year and $42,400 in his second year.
Allor said she met Paul Chatfield on the campaign trail and thought he'd be a good fit for her office. She said Rep. Lee Chatfield was not involved in his brother's brief employment at her office.
"Everything was good. He just had another opportunity come his way," Allor said of Paul Chatfield's eventual move to caucus services.
When Miller and Lee Chatfield started in the House together in 2014, the freshmen lawmakers were in their mid-20s, had similar backgrounds and had pulled off underdog victories in their respective districts. Miller said he formed a friendship with Lee Chatfield and got to know his family. When a position opened in Miller's office, Aaron Chatfield was one of four to apply.
"There was no influence," Miller said. "Aaron simply applied and was a good candidate."
Senate rules prohibit senators from hiring employees within "the first degree of consanguinity" — a parent or child — or in "direct affinity" to any elected senator. Siblings, nieces, nephews or aunts and uncles of senators may be appointed with permission from the Senate majority leader.
With strict budgets for legislative offices and a large workload, representatives would be disinclined to hire a family member or spouse just for the sake of family, said Jack McHugh, senior legislative analyst for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and a former legislative staffer.
That's not to say it doesn't happen, McHugh said, but there would be little incentive to hire a family member if they weren't going to put in an honest day's work.
House majority offices are allotted up to $104,000 annually for staff and other expenses, such as constituent mailings and phone bills, Simon said. House minority offices receive $101,000 annually. Pay to any one staffer within the office is limited to $60,000 a year, Simond said.
"They can't use their allotment dollars without it going through our finance department," Simon said.
Legislative aides and House staffers often put in a few years on the Legislature's staff before taking their experience to other public-sector work, nonprofits, unions or lobbying firms, McHugh said.
"If you're interested in policy and politics, there's no substitute for being in the belly of the beast," he said. "...An increasing number of legislators in the era of term limits start out on legislative staffs."
A chief of staff in the House from 1995 to 2001, McHugh took his experience to the Mackinac Center, where he runs MichiganVotes.org, a website that compiles bill summaries, amendments and votes.

Personalized Letter From Doctor Improves Cholesterol Control
By Daniel Weiss, Senior Editor
Patients who received a description of their cardiovascular risk factors were more likely to start taking statins and to significantly reduce their LDL cholesterol levels.
Patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are more likely to start taking cholesterol-lowering medication and to significantly reduce their LDL cholesterol level if they receive a personalized letter from their physician detailing their CVD risk factors, according to the results of a study published online on November 11, 2012, in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
Researchers at Northwestern University recruited 29 internal medicine primary care physicians at a large practice affiliated with an academic medical center to participate in the study. Patients of these physicians were included in the study if they were aged 40 to 79 years, did not have established CVD or diabetes, had a Framingham Risk Score of at least 5%, had LDL cholesterol higher than the guideline threshold for drug treatment, and had not been prescribed a lipid-lowering medication. Information on patients' risk factors was drawn from their electronic health records (EHRs).
The researchers randomized 14 physicians with 218 participating patients to the intervention group and 15 physicians with 217 participating patients to the control group, which received usual care. The average age of the patients was 60.7 years and 77% were male. Patients in the intervention group each received an individualized message from their physician with information on their personal CVD risk factors, in written and graphical form, and an estimate of how much their risk could be reduced by taking a statin. Those who smoked or had hypertension received information on the benefits of modifying these risk factors as well. In addition, the mailing encouraged patients to discuss options for reducing their CVD risk with their physician.
The initial study period lasted 9 months, from February to November 2011. At the end of this period, there was no difference in the portion of patients in the intervention group compared with that in the control group whose LDL cholesterol levels were reduced by at least 30 mg/dl (11.0% vs. 11.1%). However, patients in the intervention group were twice as likely to receive a prescription for a lipid-lowering medication during this period (11.9% vs. 6.0%, odds ratio of 2.13). In an extended 18-month follow-up, patients in the intervention group were significantly more likely to have their LDL cholesterol levels reduced by at least 30 mg/dl (22.5% vs. 16.1%, odds ratio of 1.59).
Among participants with hypertension, prescribing additional antihypertensive agents was more common and blood pressure was lower in the intervention group, and among those not taking aspirin at baseline, initiation of aspirin therapy was more common in the intervention group. In these cases, however, sample sizes were small and the differences between groups were not statistically significant. Overall, the researchers report, their efforts to detect differences between the groups were hindered by the fact that most participants did not have a follow-up LDL cholesterol test performed during the study's initial 9 months.
The researchers note that even in the intervention group a relatively small portion of patients received lipid-lowering medications. However, they point out that this small effect should be considered in the context of the limited resources required to carry out the intervention and the fact that only 1 message was sent to patients. In addition, patients may not have considered their risk to have been very high; the mean 10-year risk for any CVD event among participating patients was 24%. The researchers conjecture that focusing on patients' lifetime risk and sending multiple messages might be more effective.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Before POLITZ, RANDALL, and JOLLY, Circuit Judges.
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:
This admiralty jurisdiction litigation arises out of an allision between the M/V AMSTELVOORN and a dock facility, owned by Bayou Steel Corporation, and two barges, owned by Alter Barge Lines. Bayou Steel, Alter Barge Lines, and their insurers filed suit against the AMSTELVOORN and her owners and charterers, referred to herein collectively as "Nedlloyd."1 Nedlloyd filed third-party demands against Georgi Dimitrov Shipyard, a Bulgarian corporation which built the AMSTELVOORN, and Foreign Trade Enterprise Koraboimpex, a Bulgarian corporation which marketed the vessel. Both corporations are owned by the Bulgarian government and are hereafter referred to as "the Bulgarians."
The Bulgarians challenged the district court's in personam jurisdiction as violative of the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment and as improperly obtained under the Louisiana long-arm statute, La.R.S. 13:3201. Reserving its rights under this objection, the Bulgarians third-partied Zakalady Urzaden Okretowych Hydroster, a Polish corporation, secured service against it, and ultimately took a default judgment because it failed to respond.
Nedlloyd settled its claims against Bayou Steel, Alter Barge Lines and their insurers, becoming subrogated to their rights, advanced herein along with its own claims.
The district court denied the Bulgarians' jurisdictional challenge and, at Nedlloyd's request, sent most issues to arbitration pursuant to a clause in the contract of sale of the vessel. The trial court certified its jurisdiction and arbitration orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b); we accepted that certification and consolidated the two appeals. Finding the exercise of jurisdiction constitutionally impermissible, we reverse the court's ruling on that matter and vacate its arbitration order as it would apply to the Bulgarians.
Acting pursuant to the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4, Nedlloyd sought to secure service of process by using the Louisiana long-arm statute. Nedlloyd first contends that the Bulgarians waived any objections to in personam jurisdiction by impleading the Polish corporation which manufactured the steering system on the AMSTELVOORN. Prior to the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 1938, this argument would have prevailed. Merchants Heat & Light Co. v. J.B. Clow & Sons, 204 U.S. 286, 27 S. Ct. 285, 51 L. Ed. 488 (1907). Following adoption of the Federal Rules, the effect of the filing of a claim for affirmative relief on a jurisdictional plea became a matter of dispute, an outgrowth of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) which provides in pertinent part:
[e]very defense, in law or in fact, to a claim for relief in any pleading, whether a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, shall be asserted in the responsive pleading thereto, if one is required.... No defense or objection is waived by being joined with one or more other defenses or objections in a responsive pleading or motion. (Emphasis added.)
Relying on the emphasized language, it was early contended that the Federal Rules abrogated the long-standing waiver rule by permitting a defendant to seek affirmative relief without forfeiting an objection to jurisdiction. While some of the early cases rejected this position,2 and federal law on the issue has been described as being "in disarray,"3 the majority view supports the proposition that jurisdictional defenses are not waived by the filing of a responsive pleading.4 This court recognized but pretermitted a decision on the issue. Bangor Punta Operations, Inc. v. Universal Marine Co., Ltd., 543 F.2d 1107 (5th Cir. 1976).5 We now adopt what we consider to be the better reasoned6 and prevailing view, and hold that the filing of a counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party demand does not operate as a waiver of an objection to jurisdiction, whether that objection is raised by motion or answer, provided that the objection is not otherwise waived in the course of the litigation.
The Long-Arm Statute
Typically, the first inquiry in determining whether the Bulgarians are subject to the jurisdiction of the court a quo asks whether the Louisiana long-arm statute purports to reach them. On this point, Nedlloyd urges another waiver theory. During pretrial procedures the Bulgarians disputed whether the formal mechanics of the statute had been complied with, but to expedite the court's reaching their more serious challenge, they stipulated to sufficiency of the mechanics of service, preserving their substantive objection. Nedlloyd would now seek to parley that stipulation into a full-blown waiver of all objections to long-arm service. We find their contention borderline frivolous and summarily reject it.
Whether the Louisiana statute authorizes service against the Bulgarians posits a very difficult question under the present unsettled state of Louisiana law. A line of decisions by the Louisiana Supreme Court states that the Louisiana long-arm statute extended jurisdiction to the maximum point permitted by due process limitations. See, e.g., Fryar v. Westside Habilitation Center, 479 So. 2d 883 (La.1985). Adcock v. Surety Research and Investment Corp., 344 So. 2d 969 (La.1977). Recent decisions by Louisiana's intermediate appellate courts, from which applications for review were denied by Louisiana's highest court, have held otherwise. Alba v. Riviere, 457 So. 2d 33 (La.App.), writ denied, 452 So. 2d 194 (1984); Robinson v. Vanguard Ins. Co., 468 So. 2d 1360 (La.App.), writ denied, 472 So. 2d 34 and 472 So. 2d 924 (1985).
Sitting as an Erie court and mandated to apply state law as announced by the state courts, we recognized the dilemma and have sought guidance from the ultimate authority on the subject. We have certified the question to the Louisiana Supreme Court. Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. v. Avco Corp., 804 F.2d 1367 (5th Cir. 1986). This recently-placed request has not yet been acted upon.
Due to this uncertainty in the reach of the Louisiana long-arm statute,7 we have determined to pretermit statutory considerations and, finding the constitutional aspect dispositive, we proceed to resolution on that basis. While we are mindful of and fully support the rubric that constitutional decisions should be avoided if a statutory disposition may be made, the rule is not absolute. Bolden v. City of Mobile, 571 F.2d 238 (5th Cir. 1978), rev'd on other grounds, 446 U.S. 55, 100 S. Ct. 1490, 64 L. Ed. 2d 47 (1980). The present case warrants advancing the constitutional issue to the head of the line.
The Bulgarians invoke the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment, contending that they are not amenable to suit in federal court in Louisiana. Our consideration begins with the teachings of International Shoe Co. v. State of Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 66 S. Ct. 154, 90 L. Ed. 95 (1945), that due process will support in personam jurisdiction over a nonresident only in instances in which the defendant has sufficient contacts with the forum so that the exercise of jurisdiction "does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice." Id. at 316, 66 S. Ct. at 158. Notwithstanding the admiralty setting, the due process standard of the fourteenth amendment is applicable. We recently held that absent congressional direction to the contrary, Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure adopts the constitutional standards applicable to state courts for federal fora in settings such as here presented. Point Landing, Inc. v. Omni Capital Intern., Ltd., 795 F.2d 415 (5th Cir. 1986) (en banc), cert. granted sub nom., Omni Capital Intern. v. Rudolph Wolff & Co., Ltd., --- U.S. ----, 107 S. Ct. 946, 93 L. Ed. 2d 995 (1987).
A close examination of the activities of the Bulgarians reflects a paucity of contacts with Louisiana. The Bulgarians had neither office nor employees in Louisiana and transacted no business there. They did not contract to supply or service the AMSTELVOORN in Louisiana, committed no tortious conduct in Louisiana, and sent neither agent nor representative there. We find only the fact that ships built and sold by the Bulgarians made port calls in Louisiana.
Stripped to essentials, the position of Nedlloyd is that the court had jurisdiction because the Bulgarians introduced a product, the vessel, into the stream of commerce, that its presence in Louisiana was foreseeable, and that the Bulgarians reasonably could have anticipated being haled into court in Louisiana. In proper context, that stream-of-commerce principle provides guidance for it "is designed to encompass companies that purposefully serve markets broader than the states in which its initial or direct sales are made." Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. v. Avco Corp., 804 F.2d 1367, 1370 (5th Cir. 1986).
The leading and controlling case on the subject is World Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodsen, 444 U.S. 286, 100 S. Ct. 559, 62 L. Ed. 2d 490 (1980). In World-Wide Volkswagen, a regional automobile distributor for the northeast United States, and a New York area automobile dealer, objected to jurisdiction when they were sued in Oklahoma for an accident involving an automobile sold by them in New York. In finding no jurisdiction, the Supreme Court held that while it was foreseeable that cars sold by the defendants might be driven to Oklahoma and be involved in accidents there, foreseeability alone did not support jurisdiction.
(T)he foreseeability that is critical to due process analysis is not the mere likelihood that a product will find its way into the forum State. Rather, it is that the defendant's conduct and connection to the forum State are such that he should reasonably anticipate being haled into court there.
444 U.S. at 297, 100 S. Ct. at 567. (emphasis added)
As noted, the Bulgarians have had no intercourse with Louisiana, not even in the form of communications with anyone in the state. The visits to Louisiana ports by vessels built and marketed by them and the subject accident comprise the totality of their contacts. We perceive their visits and the accident in Louisiana legally indistinguishable from the foreseeability of the vehicle sold in New York being driven to Oklahoma and involved in an accident there. Neither suffices to ground jurisdiction.8 We conclude that to subject the Bulgarians to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Louisiana because of the fortuity of a purchaser taking the vessel they built for brief visits to Louisiana, unsupported by any other contact, would offend the principles of due process.
The trial court lacked jurisdiction over the Bulgarians and all orders and judgments adversely affecting or directed to the Bulgarians are accordingly vacated, and the matter is returned to the district court for entry of an appropriate judgment sustaining their challenge to the jurisdiction of the district court and dismissing the claims against them.
Nedlloyd Bulk, B.V., owns the vessel, and Nedlloyd Rederijdiersten, B.V. operates it. Both are Dutch corporations
See, e.g., North Branch Products, Inc. v. Fisher, 284 F.2d 611 (D.C. Cir. 1960)
Cargill, Inc. v. Sabine Trading & Shipping Co., Inc., 756 F.2d 224, 229 (2d Cir. 1985)
The leading case is Neifeld v. Steinberg, 438 F.2d 423 (3d Cir. 1971), following the "seminal" case of Orange Theatre Corp. v. Rayherstz Amusement Corp., 139 F.2d 871 (3d Cir. 1944). See also Cargill, Inc. v. Sabine Trading & Shipping Co., 756 F.2d 224 (2d Cir. 1985) (finding no waiver by filing counterclaim to action commenced quasi in rem) ; Chase v. Pan Pacific Broadcasting, Inc., 750 F.2d 131 (D.C. Cir. 1984); Knapp-Monarch Co. v. Dominion Electric Corp., 365 F.2d 175 (7th Cir. 1966); Hasse v. American Photograph Corp., 299 F.2d 666 (10th Cir. 1962); Happy Mfg. Co. v. Southern Air & Hydraulics, Inc., 572 F. Supp. 891 (N.D. Tex. 1982) (venue defense not waived); Lomanco, Inc. v. Missouri Pacific R.R. Co., 566 F. Supp. 846 (E.D. Ark. 1983)
All cases addressing the issue deal with the filing of counterclaims, rather than third-party actions. The reasoning advanced is equally appropriate in either situation.
Nedlloyd's reliance on Rubens v. Ellis, 202 F.2d 415 (5th Cir. 1953) and Kincade v. Jeffrey-DeWitt Ins. Co., 242 F.2d 328 (5th Cir. 1957) is misplaced. Neither involved personal jurisdiciton
We agree with the colorful language and similes of our colleagues of the Third Circuit, expressed soon after adoption of the Rules in Orange Theatre Corp. v. Rayherstz Amusement Corp., 139 F.2d 871, 874 (3d Cir. 1944):
Rule 12 has abolished for the federal courts the age-old distinction between general and special appearances. A defendant need no longer appear specially to attack the court's jurisdiction over him. He is no longer required at the door of the federal courthouse to intone that ancient abracadabra of the law, de bene esse, in order by its magic power to enable himself to remain outside even while he steps within. He may now enter openly in full confidence that he will not thereby be giving up any keys to the courthouse door which he possessed before he came in.
Were Nedlloyd's claims clearly within the purview of the statute as construed in the Alba and Robinson cases, we would proceed with statutory analysis, since our decision would be proper regardless of the ultimate holding of the Louisiana court. Whether the Bulgarians fall within the coverage of the long-arm statute as it read at the time of service, however, is unclear. Since 1984, service in this situation would appear to be proper under subsection (8) of the statute, dealing with manufacturers who introduce goods into the stream of commerce. That subsection provides:
Manufacturing of a product or component thereof which caused damage or injury in this state, if at the time of placing the product into the stream or commerce, the manufacturer could have foreseen, realized, expected, or anticipated that the product may eventually be found in this state by reason of its nature and the manufacturer's marketing practices.
One Louisiana appellate court has held this subsection to be retroactive, McBead Drilling Co. v. Kressco, Ltd., 490 So. 2d 674 (La.App.1986), but that holding has been cast in doubt by the Louisiana Supreme Court's decision to review the case. 494 So. 2d 1164 (La.1986). That review pends.
Our holding today is consistent with prior decisions of this court applying the stream-of-commerce analysis. See, Bean Dredging Corp. v. Dredge Technology Corp., 744 F.2d 1081 (5th Cir. 1984), and Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. v. Avco Corp., 804 F.2d 1367 (5th Cir. 1986). Each involved more direct and widespread distribution of products which came to rest in Louisiana

Lucky Kid
(before going into it, let me thank my friend Shrestha Ghosal who helped me clear this mess and make it presentable. Read on)
The rails lay long and firm on the ground. They always have, serving a higher purpose. Rails. Made of metal.
The wheels have been rolling on the metal rails for years. They seem small but their sizes disguise their strength. They have been rolling and rolling, humming to a rhythmical tune of their own. Wheels. Made of metal.
The enormous long trains proudly race up and down through our lands, with no particular destination in mind. They go where the metal wheels rolling on the metal rails take them. The deadlines set by humans do not matter to them. Trains. Made of metal.
The Railway Station at Iringalakkuda is not one of the prominent stations of the state but still it is big enough to cause the Parasuram Express, heading to Mangalapuram, to come to a screeching halt.
Jamsheed, his wife Neena and their young son Ijas alighted as the train obliged to the signal post which blinked red. It was not a particularly busy season and a fair portion of the seats lay vacant. Yet, Jamsheed had reserved their seats in advance. Jamsheed adored perfection and would not take chances in life. They were heading to his native place of Kozhikkode to attend the wedding of a relative.
It was early May when the sun burns hot and the rains are not at all expected. But the rain gods have not much regard for our seasons and our climates. On a hot and dry day, the skies had given way to a heavy downpour. Ijas ran up and took the window seat to himself. Like most of the kids, he too liked to watch the trees and the buildings run in the opposite directions. He liked to feel the winds and the raindrops on his face. Alas! Today it was not to be.
"Down the shutter, dear. It's raining." Ijas heard his father's voice.
"But I want to feel the rain vaapa." protested Ijas.
"Not today son. You might catch a cold." His voice had a sense of finality.
And so a pane of glass prevented the winds from hitting on his cheekbones. He could see the rains but not feel them. The trees and the buildings continued to run.
Soon he was bored. He turned to his father who was now watching a movie on his tablet. Neena was lazily turning the glossy pages of a magazine. Was it Femina? Or Star and Style? Ijas did not care.
"I'm bored, umma." She studied him for a moment and then gave him her phone.
"Find some games Ijju." He meddled with his mom's phone for a while. Angry Birds, Flappy Cow and Talking Cats… nothing made him happy. He soon kept it away and sat there blank faced.
As time passed, the sweet fragrance of a peeled orange found its way to where Ijas sat. He strained his neck to check the source. A family, quite like his own, were seated across the aisle. The mother was peeling oranges and sharing those among the three of them. The father looked relaxed and he rested one of his arms around his daughter's neck. When Ijas looked he could see a small family, a happy family. He tried to catch a glimpse of the daughter's face, but she was looking away.
"Lucky Kid" thought he.
It was a Saturday afternoon and the fourteen-year-old Viji and her parents were traveling by train to meet her grandmother. Being an adolescent, Viji was in such a phase of her life where people tend to lead their lives according to some invisible rules, striving to be labeled modern and smart. Hence she dressed modern, talked less, ate very cautiously and smiled seldom. To her dismay, her parents did not conform into such a pattern. They laughed loudly, even talked with strangers in their coach. It was too much. 'When would they learn manners!' she sighed.
Viji had noticed a family of three who had entered the coach at the Iringalakkuda Railway Station. Going by their dressing style and conduct, Viji was convinced that they matched the perceptions of her modern and smart family. She felt her father's hand around her shoulders. She shifted uncomfortably.
"Have these Oranges, dear", her mother said while offering her one. Viji felt embarrassed. She had read online that the rate at which a person has processed food is an indicator of how civilized he is. And here her mother had offered her the most unprocessed form of the fruit.
"I'm not hungry."
"Do try these, dear. They are real sweet. Let me peel one for you."
She was in a spot. She disliked taking them and yet she dared not to create a scene. Slyly, she shot a glance to where the young boy and his parents sat. She found the father all wired and glued to a tablet computer. The mother was reading something and the boy was playing some game on his phone. She couldn't catch his face as he was looking down at the screen.
"Lucky Kid", thought she.

Android News / Coolpad Unveils Cool M7 Handset, SD625 & 4GB Of RAM In Tow
Coolpad Unveils Cool M7 Handset, SD625 & 4GB Of RAM In Tow
Coolpad has just announced a new smartphone, the Cool M7. This is the company's new mid-range handset, though it's quite a powerful mid-range offering from this China-based company. The Coolpad Cool M7 is made out of metal, and its home button / fingerprint scanner is reminiscent of the one used by Apple in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, mostly because it's the same shape. The volume up, volume down and power / lock keys are placed on the right-hand side of the Cool M7, and this device not only offers dual SIM support, but you also get dual standby, and 4G VoLTE connectivity.
Having said that, the Coolpad Cool M7 sports a 5.5-inch fullHD (1920 x 1080) IPS display, while a 2.5D curved glass is implemented on top of it. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 625 64-bit octa-core SoC fuels the Coolpad Cool M7, along with the Adreno 540 GPU for graphics. This smartphone comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of non-expandable internal storage. A 12-megapixel shooter (Sony's IMX362 sensor, f/1.8 aperture) is placed on the back of the Coolpad Cool M7, along with an LED flash. The Coolpad Cool M7 comes with a 13-megapixel front-facing shooter (f/2.2 aperture, 79.8-degree wide-angle lens), while you're also getting a 3,200mAh non-removable battery as part of this package. It's worth noting that fast charging is also included in this package, though the source did not mention whether we're getting Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 here. Coolpad has decided not to include a 3.5mm headphone jack here, so you'll either need to get a Type-C dongle, or a pair of headphones which already come with a Type-C connection. Android 7.0 Nougat comes pre-installed here, and a number of LeEco apps are pre-installed on top of it, as Coolpad is a LeEco-backed company.
The Coolpad Cool M7 is priced at 2,699 Yuan ($404) in China, and those of you who are interested in getting this smartphone should know that the phone will become available on August 26. Chinese consumers will be able to purchase this handset through both online and offline channels in China, though exact shops have not been listed just yet, Coolpad will probably release more details regarding availability on August 26.

Read about the origin, history and celebration of Christmas (No�l) in France.
The Roman Catholics expanded Christianity in the ancient world by promising a new light (Jesus) in everyone�s life. Slowly the Orthodox Church people became successful in creating a new calendar of religious festivals which replaced all the rituals associated with ancient pagan celebration. Christmas, the festival of nativity and remembrance as the birth of Jesus Christ became the most widely celebrated festival of Christians. The customs that originated in the Middle East were slowly introduced in France by the Romans. Even though the Christmas celebration was introduced in France, it was confused with the New Year celebration until the Middle ages. Now Christmas has become the most widely observed secular and religious celebration of France.
In France Christmas is a time for special prayer services and family get-togethers. On Christmas Eve churches and cathedrals arrange for Masses and ring out the Christmas carols with awesome music. After returning home from the midnight mass, people have a late supper known as le r�veillon. It consists of delicious food such as turkey, oysters, cakes, foie gras, chestnuts and the list goes on. After having the dinner, people leave a fire burning and delicious food on the table for Virgin Mary. Children leave their shoes in the hearth for Pere Noel to fill it with sweets and gifts. Pere Noel is the French equivalent for British Father Christmas and the American Santa Claus. Another important part of French Christmas is the cr�che. Living cr�che in the form of puppet shows and plays based on nativity are usually performed to spread the customs associated with Christmas. On Christmas day the prayer and community meets are organized in the churches to thank Jesus.

Mail-Well Lowers Earnings Forecasts
Mail-Well Inc. lowered its projected earnings for the second quarter of 2002 by more than $10 million yesterday, citing lower-than-expected revenues due to an ongoing downturn in the commercial print market.
The company revised its projected sales for the quarter to $345 million, down from $380 million originally. Its earnings forecast was lowered to $16 million to $17 million, down from $26 million to $30 million.
In response, Mail-Well has decided to cancel the planned sales of PrintXcel, its printed office products unit. Keeping PrintXcel will result in approximately $6 million more in additional earnings for the quarter and an additional $50 million in sales, the company said.
According to Mail-Well chairman, president/CEO Paul Reilly, the market downturn has lasted longer than expected, and efforts to streamline the company alone were not sufficient to offset the fall in sales. Reilly also said that due to the present tight banking market the prospective buyer of the PrintXcel unit was unable to provide an adequate offer.
Mail-Well will release its full earnings for the second quarter of 2002 on July 18.

50 Cent's Son Marquise, 26, Invites Dad To 'Come Meet' Him As A Man & Says He Has No Way To Contact Him
Image credit: Jim Ruymen/UPI/Shutterstock
Next 50 Centsinterview on Breakfast Club with Charlamagne forgives God on October 19, the rapper's son, Marquise Jackson, 26, took to Instagram to ask his father to meet him while insisting that he had no way of being contacted. "Now you all see me trying to reach out to my pops as a MAN in front of me. [earth emoji] & behind the scene. I don't have your phone number and You have blocked me on social media for years so I can't send you a direct message and all the people who know each other are afraid to touch the topic bc they're afraid of you," Marquise captioned a reverse photo of himself and Fif.
More information about50 Cents
The 26-year-old, who had a feud with his father for many years, later went on to claim that Instagram was the "only way to reach" the "In da Club" rapper. "I don't like the attention, I had so many chances to get it and I didn't choose either [sic]. I saw breakfast club interview and there doesn't seem to be much accountability but just ego, blame and more about money as if you were the kid in the situation," his son continued. The end of his first paragraph ends with Marquise saying that Fifty "breaks his heart" but all is forgiven. "Those text messages are ME I was waiting outside for you, that day you broke my heart. I forgave you for that. I am available when you are ready to sit down and talk," he wrote.
Marquise's Instagram post comes a day after the 47-year-old musician appeared on the radio show to address the situation with his son. When Charlamagne asked Fif if his son wanted to sit down with him, the father replied, "No, he doesn't." "See, Charlamagne, you will call me. You don't call TMZ say you want to sit down. Think about it, man. You know, he wants some attention, and it's okay he can have as much of that as he wants," Fifty added. The father of two seems to be referring to the fact that his son talked to TMZ on October 13 to say that he wants to speak to his father face-to-face.
The five people then told the host that Marquise had been "trained" to believe what he said on the show. TMZ interviewed "a long time" and then called his son "enjoyed". Fifty continued, "When I say he has the right, it's really his mother's [Shaniqua Tompkins] permission but it is filtered. I told you I gave half a million dollars a year, they look at the paperwork they see half a million dollars a year. At that point, she still expected more. This is why I withdrew child support. You usually don't apply for child support, like I did myself. Because she didn't understand that I gave you more than you had to get. "
At the end of the interview, Charlamagne asked, "so you'll never open up to it?" and Five has made it clear that he is not. "I don't think this relationship works," Fifty told the host. He even shared that he was "running after" his son and would go to the places where Marquise went but his son was supposed to leave. On October 10, Marquise posted a photo of cash in the shape of "ENTITLED" with the caption, "Because you guys think $6,700 is too much money someone told me I would pay you 6,700 dollars in just 24 hours of his work so we could do everything I ever wanted to do with him as a kid Red Yellow Green whatever color he liked. Fifty hasn't posted on his Instagram about his son's post at the time of this writing.

Why some publishers are hiring Snapchat specialists

In the wake of the 'murder' of Jesus Christ, second Person of the Holy Trinity, an anarchy of depravity has overtaken our Godless, paganized society. Posing as legal, political, special rights, superior expert opinion, and hurt feelings, self-righteous hypocritical moralists furiously charge President Trump and mainly white socially conservative Christians and like-minded Americans with spurious and guilt-inducing accusations of homophobia, racism, sexism, xenophobia, intolerance, hate, and mental illness. As this unrelenting reign of terror gains a more complete hold over our society what follows in its wake is a mobocracy of absurdity, nihilism, paranoia, scapegoating, brutality, attempts at murder, chaos and tyranny.
Exemplifying some of this madness is a Huffington Post article, "Ethnic Minorities Deserve Safe Spaces Without White People." This twisted anthem of shameless self-pity was written by a weepy-eyed young black women, an oppressed and 'racialized' fourth year journalism student at Ryerson University. The self-adoring egoist who penned this drivel is so blinded by her self-gratifying self-pity and presumption that in her demand for safe-spaces she inadvertently confesses that she is paranoid, a delusion experienced by many narcissists.
The iniquity lurking beneath the paranoid suggestion that 'racialized people' need 'safe spaces' because of so-called 'systemic discrimination' by evil white racists is scapegoating.
After all of the sins of the people were symbolically transferred onto the scapegoat it was further burdened with all marks of reproach, imprecations, and hate. After this the people prayed that all those evils, which were due to themselves, might fall upon the goat rather than on the sinners themselves even though scapegoating cannot clean a depraved conscience.
Pride blinds the miscreant's vision of the evil thing he or she has become while scapegoating allows for the crucifixion of the scapegoat on the reprobate's own altar of self-adoration, presumption, and cruelty.
Inflated pride, a depraved conscience, and self-righteous hypocrisy are why so-called social justice warriors scapegoat millions of white people. It is also why men and women of Sodom scapegoat and crucify 'hateful homophobic' Christian men and women while pedophiles and pederasts scapegoat and crucify parents for trying to protect their children from sexual violation. It is also why liars scapegoat the truthful; thieves, rioters and murderers scapegoat society, and so-called 'faithful' 'Christian' social justice warriors and critical race theorists scapegoat orthodox white Christians.
The Decalogue shows that the beginning of idolatry is pride (preference for self over God and neighbor). The will of the idolater is not in submission to God but self, thus having made an idol out of himself he assumes he possesses honor and rights. This is why pride and a will turned toward wickedness (self) leads to contempt for and outright hatred of the Holy Triune God, neighbor, Truth, moral law, goodness, norms, authority, standards, rules, and institutions in favor of lust for power, greed, perverse sexuality, and dehumanization of other people.

"Revered like rock stars within the early music scene" (New York Times), Quicksilver brings together today's top North American historically-informed performers. Described as "drop dead gorgeous with a wonderful interplay of timbres" (Early Music America) and praised as "irresistible" (Fanfare Magazine), Quicksilver vibrantly explores the rich chamber music repertoire from the early modern period to the High Baroque. The ensemble has been featured at numerous music series and prestigious festivals, receiving critical acclaim and repeat invitations. Recent appearances include Carnegie Hall, Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center, CU Presents Artist Series (Colorado), Toronto Consort Series (Toronto), San Diego Early Music Society, Chamber Music in Historic Sites – LA, Boston Early Music Festival, Vancouver Early Music Festival, Berkeley Festival and Exhibition, Early Music Now – Milwaukee, Chamber Music Tulsa, Indianapolis Early Music Festival, San Francisco Early Music Society, Virginia Arts Festival, Miami Bach Society, Madison Early Music Festival, Dumbarton Oaks- DC, Houston Early Music, Early Music Hawaii and Music Before 1800.
Quicksilver's debut recording, Stile Moderno: New Music from the Seventeenth Century was described as "Breakthrough of the Year . . . breathtaking" (Huffington Post) and "convincing . . . terrific" (Early Music -Oxford Journal). Quicksilver's latest recording, Fantasticus: Extravagant and Virtuosic Music from 17th Century Germany has been named one of The New Yorker's Ten Notable Recordings of 2014, praised as "Fantasticus, indeed" (Gramophone) and a "recommended purchase" (Osterreichische Musikzeitschrift/Austrian Music Journal). Quicksilver's recording The (very) First Viennese School is forthcoming next season.
One of America's most prominent historical string players, Robert Mealy has been praised for his "imagination, taste, subtlety, and daring" (Boston Globe). A frequent soloist and orchestral leader, Mr. Mealy is principal concertmaster at Trinity Wall Street and the Orchestra Director of the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra; he recently received a Grammy for his work with BEMF. He has also led the Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble in performances here and in Moscow, accompanied Renee Fleming on the David Letterman Show, and recorded and toured with many distinguished ensembles both here and in Europe. Committed to education as well as performing, he directs Juilliard's distinguished Historical Performance Program. From 2003 to 2015, he taught at Yale, directing the postgraduate Yale Baroque Ensemble and the Yale Collegium Musicum. Prior to that, he taught at Harvard for over a decade, where he founded the Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra. In 2004, he received EMA's Binkley Award for outstanding teaching and scholarship. He has recorded over 80 CDs on most major labels.
Lauded for her "invigorating verve and imagination" (Washington Post), Julie Andrijeski is among the leading baroque violinists and early music pedagogues in the U.S. In addition to co-directing Quicksilver, she maintains an active performance schedule, playing with many diverse early music groups across the nation including the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra (Artistic Director), New York State Baroque (Concertmaster), Apollo's Fire (Principal Player), and Les Délices. As a full-time Senior Instructor at Case Western Reserve University and Teacher of Baroque Violin at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Ms. Andrijeski leads classes in historical performance practices, teaches lessons in baroque violin, and directs the baroque music and dance ensembles. Her combined skills in music and dance often culminate in workshops and special teaching engagements at schools such as the Oberlin Conservatory, Indiana University, Juilliard, the University of Colorado – Boulder, and at several summer workshops as well. Her recordings can be found on Acis Productions, Dorian Recordings, Centaur, Koch, CPO, Avie, and Musica Omnia.
A native of California, Dominic Teresi is principal bassoon of Tafelmusik Orchestra, Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra and Carmel Bach Festival, teaches at The Juilliard School and University of Toronto, is a member of Quicksilver and Juilliard Baroque and plays with American Bach Soloists and Toronto Consort.
