Trump slams author of voter fraud study: 'He's groveling'
By Nolan D. McCaskill
President Donald Trump said Wednesday millions of people all voted illegally against him in the presidential election "in my opinion" and that there is "a lot to look into."
"There are millions of [illegal] votes, in my opinion," Trump told ABC News' David Muir in an excerpt from an interview set to air later Wednesday.
Trump revived his debunked claim of widespread voter fraud Monday during a private meeting with congressional leaders, claiming without evidence that up to 5 million people cast illegitimate votes.
He followed up Wednesday morning with a pair of tweets vowing to request "a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time)."
Trump's case to Muir of widespread voter fraud was that people are on voter rolls who are either dead, in the country illegally or simultaneously registered to vote in more than one state, alleging that the latter "vote twice."
"I want the voting process to be legitimate," Trump said.
He pointed to a Pew study that highlights outdated voter rolls, not illegitimate votes, and doesn't include any references to non-citizens registering or voting. David Becker, the study's author tweeted Tuesday, with a link to a New York Times report: "As I've noted before, voting integrity better in this election than ever before. Zero evidence of fraud."
Trump, however, questioned why Becker would publish the report then and suggested he's "groveling" by refuting the president's claim.
"Then he's — then he's groveling again. You know, I always talk about the reporters that grovel when they wanna write something that you wanna hear but not necessarily millions of people wanna hear or have to hear," Trump said. "We're gonna launch an investigation to find out, and then the next time — and I will say this: Of those votes cast, none of them come to me. None of them come to me. They would all be for the other side. None of them come to me."
Repeating his claim of dead people, illegal immigrants and concurrent registrations in separate states, he said, "We have a lot to look into."
White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at the daily briefing Wednesday that the investigation will look beyond the 2016 election. Trump's own attorneys wrote after his election victory that the entirety of "available evidence suggests that the 2016 general election was not tainted by fraud or mistake."
"This isn't just about the 2016 election. This is about the integrity of our voting system," Spicer said, hailing the investigation "to ensure that we know that every person's vote counts equally" as "probably one of the greatest things we can do."
According to reports, Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump and his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, are registered to vote in two states.

How do you know who's the hero (in British girls comics)?
15/11/2018 General, story structureAmanda Must Not be Expelled, authorial intent, emotional journey, Pat Mills, Slave of Form 3Bcomixminx
I have been thinking about how you can tell who is the hero, or at least the main character, in British girls comics. I'm sure that as readers most of us can tell who's the hero most of the time, but there are always some odd cases that test the boundaries. Perhaps we will learn something about some underlying rules of British comics storytelling if we have a deeper look?
Below I suggest five key tests to check who is the main character in a story. These tests aren't anything to do with how nice or kind the person is – they would apply to an anti-hero as much as to the most perfect hero. Rather, they should tell us whether or not the story is about that person.
Reference in title
You would think the title of the story would be a dead giveaway as to who the story is about – but it's not always as simple as that, of course. The main villain might be the one featured in the title ("Angela Angel-Face", "Wanda Whiter Than White") or, particularly in the case of Jinty, the title may be fairly allusive ("The Valley of Shining Mist", "Waves of Fear" and many others).
For most stories, though, it's true – the title does give away who the main character is. Often her name is right up front as the first element of the title along with the key struggle of the story: "Gwen's Stolen Glory", "Stefa's Heart of Stone", "Glenda's Glossy Pages", "Cora Can't Lose". But is Amanda Blay the main character in "Amanda Must Not Be Expelled"? And in "The Slave of Form 3B", is the main character weak-willed Tania or the villainous (and rather more interesting) Stacey?
Hearing their words
A more important test than the title of the story seems to me to be whether we know what the character thinks and says. Do we see the character's words (spoken or thoughts) directly on the page or not?
The sample episode of "Amanda Must Not Be Expelled" has Amanda's words showing (in speech or word balloons) in only 10 out of 28 panels in the episode. Her antagonists, Jane and Marty, have their words or speech reported in 22 of the 28 panels (including ones where Amanda also speaks).
The sample episode of "The Slave of Form 3B" does not include any words or thoughts of Tania's, but only those of Stacey (in the 26 panels shown, we hear Stacey's thoughts or words in all bar 5).
Seeing their face
Similarly to the test above of whether we hear their words directly, do we follow them on the page and see what they do, in each panel or the majority of the page?
You might think that it comes to a fairly similar outcome if you check how many panels the person appears in; I would expect the main character in a British girls comic to be in most of the panels (and that, by some way). However, in the same episode of "Amanda Must Not Be Expelled", Jane and Marty are visible in 23 of the 28 panels while Amanda is in 18 of the 28 panels. Amanda is visible in quite a lot more panels (18 panels) than just the ones where she says or thinks something (10 panels): she is a focus of the reader's attention without actually being the main person that you put yourself in the place of.
In the sample episode of "The Slave of Form 3B", Stacey appears in slightly more panels than she speaks in – there are only 3 panels that she does not appear in, compared to the 5 that she does not speak in.
Active doer, or passive done-to?
This can be a bit harder to determine, I think. Does the hero (or the person who might be the hero) kick off the actions and make things happen, or is she 'done-to' rather than actively 'doing'? In girls comics there is a definite theme of the downtrodden underdog hero, whose heroism lies in her endurance and persistance rather than in solving the world's woes, so this may be a less definitive way of singling out the hero of the story. What happens if we look at the two sample stories to check how active the characters are?
Jane and Marty ensure that Amanda gets back to the dorm without being spotted and expelled (foiling her intent), and even sneak back the gown and mortar board that Jane dressed up in, to remove all evidence of what they were up to. But Amanda is pretty active too, by the end of the episode: she takes a pair of scissors from the needlework room and sets out to pick herself a bouquet of the headmistress's prized tulips, as a way to get herself expelled. Honours are relatively even, though I think that on the showing of this single episode, Jane and Marty feel like the initiators of more action than Amanda does.
In "The Slave of Form 3B" Tania is unconscious throughout the whole sample episode and therefore as passive as she could possibly be. Stacey initiates the action throughout: she hides Tania out of sight of possible rescuers, and she makes it look as if Tania has run away. The teachers initiate a search of the grounds, but again Stacey's action is the decisive one as she lies to the other searchers to decoy them away from where she has hidden Tania.
Who has the emotional journey?
Pat Mills is currently writing a series of blog posts on storytelling, and one of the recent entries is on the Emotional Journey. Many thanks to him for this post, as it was something I nearly overlooked in this series of tests. We can sensibly ask, is there a shape to the story and if so, who does that story-shape belong to? There are a number of fairly well-worn story 'shapes' and these also help to identify the main character. 'Spoilt girl redeems herself' is one of them, and 'brave girl beats her bullies by enduring' is another – and by phrasing the story in this way you immediately understand who the hero is. But another way to think of it is, who undergoes the emotional journey – who is changed by the end of the story? Not all stories necessarily have change as part of their core structure, but many do, and it can provide an interesting contrast to the answers derived from the other tests.
To answer this question you need to think about the story as a whole, not just individual sample episodes, so it can be harder to determine unless you know the story reasonably well. I don't know "Amanda Must Not Be Expelled" very well but Mistyfan has provided a detailed synopsis. From this it does look very much to be the case that it is Amanda who has the emotional journey – going from desperately wanting to be expelled to being glad she never managed it, and from hating even being at school to being proud of it and wanting her team to win. Jane and Marty do not obviously seem to change throughout the story, their motives and psychology remain pretty consistent.
In "Slave of Form 3B" then again, when we look at the overall story, the sense of who is the hero is rather different from when we look at the details. Tania, who starts off the story weak-willed and very passive indeed, ends up still pretty 'done-to' rather than actively bringing about Stacey's downfall. It is Tania who is acclaimed by her schoolfellows due to her persistence and survivorship, so at least she is changed from being a timid outcast to being someone that all her fellows know and think well of. Stacey, in contrast, has not changed her motivation or aims at all; if anything she has just become more fixed in her ambitions. The arc of Tania's emotional journey is rather tacked-on in the final episode or two though, which dilutes the effect considerably.
I called the above 'five key tests' but of course most of the time it's hardly necessary to apply a series of tests to determine who is the hero or main character in a story. For more unusual cases like the two stories chosen here, it can however shed some interesting light on aspects of the story.
Is Amanda the main character in "Amanda Must Not Be Expelled", or are Jane and Marty the real heroes? If you just look at the sample episode then Jane and Marty are acting much more like the main characters – they are the ones that the reader sees and hears, and the ones who move the action forward more substantially. But taking the story as a whole, especially when you consider the intention signalled by the story title, it is Amanda who the story is most 'about', as the person who has the significant emotional journey. Perhaps if we re-ran the tests on who we see and hear, and who initates the action, based on a later episode, she would be more obviously marked as the main character?
Is Timid Tania, who is the Slave in question, the hero of "The Slave of Form 3B", or is it wicked Stacey? Stacey is by far the most active and most visible character throughout the story, though there may be other episodes where she does not dominate the action quite as fully as in this sample epsiode. The final part of Tania's emotional journey feels very tacked on at the end, though there are earlier points in the story where she stands up for herself to some extent. Even taking the story as a whole it does not feel like Tania is 'really' the main character; possibly the writer intended her to be so, but had much more fun writing the frankly rather evil Stacey instead!
Storytelling in Girls' Comics: Cliffhanger vs Non-cliffhanger Episodes
03/08/2016 Creators, Interviews, story structureBound for Botany Bay, Land of No Tears, Mandy, Mark of the Witch!, Maureen Hartley, Pat Mills, story structuremistyfan
In this post I will discuss two opposing points of view in regard to how the endings of episodes in serials were structured. I will also discuss the effects these had on story structure and resolutions.
Pat Mills advises that each episode of a serial should end on a cliffhanger or dramatic high point (personal email). So his stories, such as "Land of No Tears", have episodes that end on cliffhangers or dramatic high points. For example, in part two of "Land of No Tears", Perfecta hauls Cassy off for punishment at the end of the episode. The cliffhanger leaves readers particularly anxious because the episode had built up to Cassy expecting a cruel and merciless punishment. But they do not see what it is until part three. A multitude of stories at IPC were structured this way, with each episode ending either on a cliffhanger or being a self-contained episode that ends on a high dramatic point.
There were some IPC stories, such as Jinty's "Bound for Botany Bay" and Tammy's "No Haven for Hayley", that had a blend of cliffhanger and non-cliffhanger episodes. For example, in Botany Bay, Betsy's story has episodes that end mostly on cliffhangers, but some, such as the ones that depict her transportation voyage, are self-contained ones.
However, the Mandy editors took a completely different view to Mills in this respect. In an interview with former DCT writer Maureen Hartley, she reveals that their rule was "no cliffhangers":
"I learned that in every instalment the heroine must take some form of executive action. That may seem highly obvious, but it is easy to be distracted from the heroine by other facets of the plot or more interesting characters. Also there must be no cliffhangers. The editors felt strongly that the readers should get value for the money they had paid for the comic and should be given a full self-contained story in each instalment, interesting enough to make them want to read more but not blackmailing them with a cliffhanging ending into buying the next issue".
http://girlscomicsofyesterday.com/2016/06/maureen-hartley-writing-for-dct-girls-comics/
So in Mandy stories, each episode is a self-contained one, containing action that advances the story in some way. But with some exceptions, such as Mandy's "The Posy Princess", there are no cliffhanger endings for the episodes in the development of the story. The only real exception to this rule would be the penultimate episode, which often ended on a cliffhanger. This would be a signal to the readers that it is the penultimate episode, because its cliffhanger ending breaks the pattern of how the episodes are structured. The cliffhanger would be part of resolving the story in the final episode.
A good example is "The Truth About Wendy" from Mandy. In each episode we have a protagonist who tells us, in flashback, how they found out the hard way that Wendy Ware is a scheming girl who plays dirty to get whatever she wants and destroys anyone who stands in her way. They all think at the end of the episode that only they know the truth about Wendy; everyone else thinks she is a sweet girl. But in the penultimate episode, Wendy's latest victim does not think this way. Instead, she resolves to expose Wendy and get back the friend that Wendy stole off her. This tells us that this is the penultimate episode and not a regular one. So we are all extra eager to buy next week's Mandy to find out how the truth about Wendy will be revealed at last.
Non-cliffhanger ending to penultimate episode of "Bad Luck Barbara", Mandy #985, 30 November 1985.
Not all penultimate episodes in Mandy serials were structured this way. One example is "Bad Luck Barbara". The penultimate episode is a regular one, with no cliffhanger ending at all. The next episode could also have been a regular one. But instead it is the final episode, and it is entirely self-contained instead of resolving a cliffhanger from the penultimate episode.
And this type of story structuring can be seen in plenty of serials in other DCT titles as well. For example, Bunty's "Witch!" has self-contained episodes until the penultimate episode while the similarly-themed "Mark of the Witch!" in Jinty has a lot of episodes ending on cliffhangers. And some Bunty stories, such as "Captain Carol", have self-contained episodes all the way through.
This non-cliffhanger episode structure at DCT meant that their serials tended to be episodic. This did have the advantage of spinning the story out for as long as needed – or cutting it short if necessary. When the editor gave the word, the writer could just end the story in an episode or two because the episodic structure made it easy to end without tying up a lot of plot threads that had been spun along the way. There were some exceptions, where DCT serials were tied up in several episodes that were structured as a story arc. One example is Bunty's "The Guilt of Glendora", which is tied up in a span of three episodes.
One disadvantage of stories with non-cliffhanger episodes is that the structure could get boring, annoying and tedious. Sometimes the ending of each episode would end up pretty much the same, such as episodes that invariably end up with the protagonist being disgraced through no fault of her own. Using some variety with episodes ending on cliffhangers would make it more interesting. In this respect "The Posy Princess" was less boring because it often had cliffhangers.
The cliffhanger episodes favoured by Mills enabled the development of story arcs; for example, a conclusion that needed several episodes for it to develop properly. If the story was popular, more threads could be developed to spin it out more rather than just putting in more episodes for padding. But in some cases there could also be more tying-off that would have to be done before the story could end. And if the editor gave a sudden order to end the story, this could result in an unsatisfactory ending. One example is Jinty's "Worlds Apart". One gets the impression that towards the end, the story was meant to run for more episodes to really develop the final dream world and the lessons its protagonist learns from it. But instead the ending gives the impression that the story was cut short because of Jinty's upcoming merger into Tammy. So the conclusion came too soon and left the final dream world nowhere near as developed as it should have been. It all cries out to be reworked.
Cliffhanger ending to penultimate episode of "Witch!", Bunty #1754, 24 August 1991.
Mandy's rule non-cliffhanger endings for episodes apparently did not stop readers from buying the next issue. The editors counted on making the self-contained episodes interesting enough to encourage readers to keep buying. And it did work – readers kept buying Mandy and she became one of the longest-running titles at DCT. But the cliffhanger structure at IPC also worked well. And stories that combined cliffhangers and non-cliffhangers certainly added variety to the storytelling structure. They must also have been easier on the writers, who must have found it difficult at times to keep episodes self-contained or end them on cliffhangers.

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued a preliminary report on the June 30 plane crash at Addison Airport that killed all 10 people on board, but officials are still working to determine what caused the tragedy.
Most of the details in the report have previously been publicized. It could take 18 months for the full report to be issued on what led the twin-engine Beech BE-300 to hit a hangar shortly after takeoff.
The report provided further detail about evidence that the crew noted a problem. Eight seconds before the cockpit voice recorder cut off, the audio captured a comment about the left engine, the report said.

This past month, I found myself in some crippling post-holiday debt from spoiling my friends and family with gifts this year. Without a job at home, I ran into a problem: how was I going to pay off my credit card this month? I immediately started researching ways to make some fast cash and wound up making approximately $250. Here is how I did it!
A friend told me about Poshmark and I downloaded the app, but never got around to listing clothes and accessories for sale because I didn't think I had any to sell. When I got home for break last month, I found some things hiding in my closet that I had forgotten about: a Michael Kohrs wallet, rain boots I wore twice, a coat, and UGG boots I barely wore. With all the free time I had, I started listing the items and was shocked when I received hundreds of followers, all sharing, liking and commenting on my items. Everything sold in one week! I was pleasantly surprised and admittedly became a little addicted to the app. Poshmark does take a cut from the items you sell, but the prepaid shipping label that the customer pays for makes it worth it.
I knew of the sell-your-electronics-for-cash company Gazelle, but had never used the service. I decided to create an account recently and submit a quote for an old, broken, shattered iPhone 6 that would not even turn on but I had sitting in a drawer for a while. I ended up getting $40 for the phone! The whole process was easy. Get a quote online, print out the prepaid shipping label, and ship! I got paid through PayPal within a week and a half. I highly recommend the quick and easy service.
There are so many different Facebook pages where you can sell items to people who are local, if you're impatient. I had a bunch of sorority sweatshirts and t-shirts I have purchased over the years that I barely wore anymore. So I posted on a Facebook page specifically for buying and selling clothes that has over 50,000 members in my sorority across the United States. Before I knew it, I had made over $80 just from clothes that I didn't like as much as I thought I would.
This is probably the easiest money-making tip that I have. This website called missingmoney.com will find any unclaimed money you may have, such as security deposits you never got back. All you do is enter your name and location and the website will tell you if you have any unclaimed funds. Although I didn't find any missing funds for myself, when I searched for my Dad, he was listed as having unclaimed funds. He looked into it, and he found that he had an unclaimed stock that he purchased when he was in high school! It was only $50, but still a pretty cool find!
I just recently signed up to be an auditor through a website called Trend Source that hires most anyone to shop at a store and report findings such as customer service, products, etc. for about $10-15 a visit depending on the job and location. Companies will hire Trend Source to compile data on customer feedback so they can better improve their products and services. I don't have experience with this yet, but I'm excited to try it out when I shop my first location next week!
I have a Bank of America cash back rewards card that gives money back to me on purchases I make such as on groceries or gas. You can redeem the rewards in the form of a direct deposit or as credit toward your credit card payment once you reach a certain amount (mine is $25). I've used this feature countless times, and there are often local rewards deals valid for 30 days that give around 10% back to you. Pro tip: enable the VISA local rewards on your Uber app in settings for credit toward future rides!
Have any additional tips to make some fast cash? Comment ways you've made money below!

In this chapter I briefly map the terrain of a set of scholarly approaches that could be called a cultural analysis of law. A cultural analysis or a cultural studies of law generally starts with the dual premise that law is a set of meaning-making practices that exists within and is the product of a particular culture and that the culture is a set of meaning-making practices that exists within and is the product of a particular set of laws.
In this chapter I unpack and elaborate this foundational idea by exploring three routes along which a cultural analysis of law has been productively pursued: (1) narration, (2) identity, and (3) visuality. Narration is meant to embody a number of different approaches that apply a literary sensibility and critique to the language, interpretation, and rhetoric of law, legal arguments, and legal representations. It also seeks to capture the ways that law and representations of law (in novels, films, and other cultural artifacts) create certain kinds of enduring social narratives and tropes and perhaps teach normative lessons. Identity is a route paved by a robust scholarship that examines the role of law in developing, negotiating, policing, and enforcing certain kinds of individual and collective identities, including racial, ethnic, sexual, national and subnational identities that have been salient at different times. Lastly, I explore more briefly the smaller path of visuality, a recent effort to critically engage with the prominent portrayals of law and legal institutions in our pervasively visual culture as well as with the increasing use of visual arguments and iconography within law and legal practice.

The Broadway favorite is back in D.C. and still worth braving the cargo shorts and sandals crowd to go see.
by Rebecca Ritzel June 26th, 2015 August 29th, 2020
Credit: Handout photo by Joan Marcus
A parade of dudes in cargo shorts and Keen sandals schlepping to the Kennedy Center can only mean one thing: The Book of Mormon is back for another summer run at the Kennedy Center. The 2013 tour stop, you may recall, shut down the Kennedy Center's website not once, but twice when tickets went on sale in stages. The major difference between the debut run and this reprisal is that seats are easier to come by, although you'll still have to line up for a $25 standing-room-only ticket, or pay nearly $100 bucks to sit pretty much anywhere but the balcony.
Otherwise, it's not so much the musical that has changed, but that the tide of success continues for so many cast and creatives associated with the show. The original actors who played missionaries Elder Cunningham and Elder Price when the show opened on Broadway have gone on not to save hundreds of lost souls but to become major stars in film (Josh Gad, ever heard of Frozen?) and TV (Andrew Rannells, some show called Girls).
Even the lead's replacements seem charmed: Ben Platt, who spent a year sniffling and sputtering as Elder Cunningham, got to star in Pitch Perfect 2 and will also take the lead in the maybe-Broadway bound musical Dear Evan Hansen, which opens at Arena Stage next month.
Mormon's director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw continues to bemuse audiences with his codpiece fetish and penis joke prowess. He received a Tony nomination this year for Something Rotten!,a Shakespearean spoof that features an ensemble full of closeted gay Puritans instead of Mormons. In fact, seeing the two shows so close together, as I did this spring, and noting their similarities shed a divine light on why Mormon continues to be so popular. Both tackle novel subject matter (for musicals) and tap into nearly universal curiosities (What the fuck do Mormons believe? Who the fuck was Shakespeare anyway?) Both quote musicals from the past, from Wicked to Annie. Both are ridiculously profane, though Mormon was written by the creators of South Park while Rotten! was penned by a former contemporary Christian songwriter. Go figure.
But perhaps most importantly, they both follow very traditional formulas: really rousing opening numbers. Tap dance breaks with sequins and razzle-dazzle. A song in which the costumes totally jump the shark. A heartfelt buddy comedy. A budding romance. Great comic timing. People will keep coming to Book of Mormon because it gives audiences what they want, plus explains why those guys in black ties and white shirts keep knocking on your door. I mean, ring doorbells, as the ensemble members do in the memorable opening number.
If I had to put money on an actor in the current touring cast whose career is nearing a conversion, I'd go with Candace Quarrels, who stars as the Ugandan ingénue. She's just a sophomore at Belmont University, but has a sweet voice and naïve sincerity you never doubt. David Larsen, however, plays Elder Price with a tongue-in-cheek grin that becomes slightly grating, while Cody Jamison Strand, as Cunningham, is a charming physical comedian. The energetic ensemble playing the African villagers arguably outshines this particular bunch of clean-cut chorus boys playing the Mormon missionaries.
Production values are still reasonably strong, although lighting designer Brian MacDevitt, a University of Maryland professor who lives in the area, should probably check in to see why some of his cues appear to be off. The fake stained glass rimming the stage continues to blink purple and blue while a statue of the angel Moroni keeps blowing his trumpet at the proscenium's apex.
The story of Moroni is mockingly recounted in the musical, as is much of Mormon history, with members of the ensemble dressed like museum diorama mannequins. Elder Cunningham embellishes the good book in his attempts to save the natives. "Those Mormon stories are really fucking weird," remarks an elder in the Ugandan tribe. He's right. But as long as good theater is about good storytelling, Book of Mormon will keep selling out.

Dortmund vs Atalanta – Thursday, February 15, 18:00GMT/19:00CET – BVB Stadion, Dortmund, Germany.
The side unbeaten in 2018 host the side unbeaten in a month – Dortmund vs Atalanta witnesses the return of Borussia Dortmund to Europa League competition for the first time since a memorable fixture at Anfield back in 2016.
Borussia Dortmund have had an abysmal European campaign so far. Die Schwarz-Gelben are without a victory in eight European matches and have suffered three defeats in their last four at home. The German club registered just two points in their autumnal UEFA Champions League outing, making it the first time in 13 group campaigns that they failed to register a single Champions League victory. However, the protagonist in Dortmund's European downfall has gone – Peter Bosz was sacked in December, replaced by another Peter, Peter Stöger. Since the Austrian took charge at the Westfalenstadion he has overseen a turnaround in form. Unbeaten in seven Bundesliga games, their only defeat came against Bayern München in the DFB Pokal – narrowly losing out by two goals to one.
An inharmonious changing room has settled – the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal the catalyst for a change in atmosphere. Dortmund are bolstered by loan signing Michy Batshuayi and the return of local boy, Marco Reus. Mario Götze's continued recovery is also one for the list of positives. On paper, Dortmund are one of the strongest sides left in the competition – it should give them a genuine opportunity for a late trophy challenge.
Atalanta are enjoying their return to European competition for the first time in 27 years. The side from Bergamo are one of only four teams who came through this season's UEFA Europa League group stage undefeated, recording their biggest away win ever on matchday five – trouncing Everton by five goals to one at Goodison Park. However, this impressive victory on Merseyside was only their second win in 12 away games in all European competition – Thursday's test inside the caldron of Westfalenhallen will be a massive show of their credentials.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Nerazzurri arrive in Germany off the back of a one-one draw against fellow Serie A side, FC Crotone. A last-minute equaliser for Atalanta away at relegation-threatened Crotone salvaged a point, not the ideal preparation for their Round of 32 tie against Dortmund.
The 24-year-old Belgium international has made a dream start to life at Dortmund. Arriving on transfer deadline day in January he scored a brace in his first game against FC Köln just 24 hours later. If this wasn't reason enough to celebrate, the striker then went on to add an assist in the Köln game – he then notched another goal in his second match versus Hamburger SV. For a side who were worried about the departure of Aubameyang, the 'Batsman' has settled the nerves of the Dortmund faithful.
The Slovenian attacking midfielder is currently Atalanta's top scorer. With nine goals and eight assists in 30 games this season, he is a threat that Dortmund will have to counter should they wish to progress in the competition. Scoring and assisting twice in the Europa League group fixtures against Apollon Limassol the 30-year-old is a danger around the opposition penalty box. With a fondness for dribbling at speed he also has the capability to punish sides from set pieces.
Dortmund are without a victory in eight European matches (D2 L6) and have suffered three defeats in their last four at home.
Atalanta have won only two of their 12 away games in European competition (D5 L5).
BVB's knockout record against Serie A sides in UEFA competition overall is W3 L8.
Atalanta's only previous tie against German opponents came in 1990/91 when they ousted Köln 2-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup third round.
This is the first time the two clubs have met in European competition.

Columbia University to host Malaysia's Prime Minister, who claimed "hook-nosed" "Jews rule the world by proxy"
November 11, 2019 | Filed under: Europe,Malaysia,Women and Children in Sharia | Posted by: sabir
But would Columbia ever host a foe of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women and others? Not on your life! This invitation to Mahathir shows how mainstream anti-Semitism has become at universities and colleges today.
"Columbia U. to host antisemitic Malaysian PM," by Tamar Beeri,
Columbia University's World Leaders Forum will be hosting Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who has a history of making antisemitic statements.
The 93-year-old leader described Jews as "hook-nosed" last October, and blaming them for creating trouble in the Middle East. "They are hook-nosed," he said in defense. "Many people called the Malays fat-nosed. We didn't object; we didn't go to war for that."
In 2003, he said that "the Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."
He has also said that the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust is exaggerated and that, in reality, four million were killed rather than six million.
He has also previously denied Israel's connection to Jerusalem, claiming it is a Palestinian territory. "Jerusalem has always been under Palestine, so why are they taking the initiative to divide Jerusalem not belonging to them, but to divide the Arabs and the Jews? They have no rights," Mohamad said.
In January, Mohamad announced that he would not allow any Israelis to enter Malaysia. The comment was in response to criticism after the Southeast Asian nation banned Israeli participants in the Paralympic Swimming World Championship…

Latrodectus pallidus is a species of spider commonly found throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia. A common name in English is the white widow spider, and it is known in Russian as белый каракурт, or white steppe spider. It is a member of the genus Latrodectus, which includes species known as widow spiders, which is placed in the family Theridiidae. It occurs both in the steppes of southern Russia, Kazakhstan, and other southwest Asian countries, as well as in the desert regions of the Middle East. Compared to other widow spiders in the region, the white widow spider is comparatively rare.

Description
Unlike most species of widow spider, which are dark in colouration; the white widow spider is, as its name implies, light-coloured, with colouration ranging from beige to white, though with darker legs. The spider lacks the bright red markings found on other widow spiders such as the black widow, the redback spider, or L. tredecimguttatus. Other than colouration, the white widow is similar in appearance to other spiders of the genus.

When it comes to mating, widow spiders are a good example of high investment of males in a single mating. Males generally cohabit with a female for a long period of time, provide energy demanding courtship displays, and at times are cannibalized by the female after mating. Males are generally smaller than females because after they reach maturity, they do not feed and spend most of their lives searching for females.

Medical significance
Like all Latrodectus species, L. pallidus has a bite which is venomous and can injure humans. While not nearly as toxic as the bite of L. mactans or L. hasselti, the white widow's bite is medically significant and can kill children and the infirm. Toxicology studies have reported that the venom of the white widow is similar in structure to that of L. tredecimguttatus. However, a poster published by the Egyptian Society of Natural Toxins describes L. pallidus venom as "moderately venomous", whereas L. tredecimguttatus is described as the most venomous spider in southern Europe.

In a follow-up to its settlement with Focus Education, LLC in January of last year, the FTC recently entered into a $2 million settlement with Lumos Labs over claims that advertising and marketing for its Lumosity "brain training" games misled customers about cognitive benefits.
The FTC's complaint alleged that Lumos Labs' marketing campaign deceptively suggested that playing its games 5 – 10 minutes a few times a week could lead to mental benefits, including: delaying memory decline, protecting against dementia and Alzheimer's disease, improving school, work, and athletic performance, and reducing the effects of such things as ADHD and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, according to the FTC's allegations, Lumos Labs did not have sufficient scientific data to back up these hard-hitting performance claims. The FTC also asserted that Lumos Labs' failed to disclose to the public that many consumer testimonials had been solicited as part of a contest that offered users the chance to win valuable prizes.
As part of the settlement, Lumos Labs must pay $2 million and also notify and provide customers with an easy way to cancel any auto-renewal subscriptions. The settlement also includes injunctive provisions against any future misrepresentations, and provisions requiring human clinical testing before certain cognition claims may be made.
This case should be another reminder to game developers, game publishers, advertisers and agencies that video games and apps are very much on the FTC's radar. Game developers and game publishers should be mindful not to make overreaching claims about what their games can do. Any efficacy statements must be correct, truthful and backed by sufficient scientific research. Moreover, game developers, game publishers, advertisers and agencies must consider how they are soliciting testimonials from the public and how they are describing their relationships with the people providing the testimonials. Many of the FTC's recent FAQ's have specifically discussed video games and how advertising and marketing requirements apply to them.

My new show, "Let 'er Rip; Stories of Our Darkest Hours and Greatest Triumphs" filled the house.
I think parents need to be reminded as well! It was great to learn about little Rickey. Clearly he did not have a problem TALKING LOUD ENOUGH! Worked out pretty well I'd say!
The show was great, everyone loved it! Congrats!
I just wanted to let you know how WONDERFUL your show was…I was thoroughly engaged the entire time.
I captured similar ideas in this book and I love your perspective on the inverse curve on "happiness" vs. "what should be our most rewarding years"…How true and insightful….
Mostly, I love how you demonstrate that passion, excitement, purpose and meaning only grow with time. I truly want you to know the impact you have had on my life as well as so many others. Congratulations and I'm praying that there will be an ENCORE performance… any plans for that?
To get a flavor for the show, please watch this short, 7 minute ending sequence. It includes an amazing iron workers story about how they wrap up their work on a building project.
Soon, I'll have the entire show up on Vimeo.
Also, a new show is in works. Stay tuned.
So sorry that I missed this show. I promise not to be in Europe for the next one! Keep me posted.

Referring to an organism which feeds on wood.
The objective of the present study aimed to assess the natural resistance of four Amazon tropical wood species used in the production of sawn timber, against infection with xylophagous fungi.

These assays also enable corroboration of the type of wood rot caused by some species of xylophagous fungi, mainly the traditional Bavendamm test (with tannic or gallic acid), used for many years to distinguish between white- and brown-rot fungi based on the presence or absence of phenoloxidase production, respectively (Kaarik, 1965).
High insect diversity and the wide spectrum of ecomorphotypes represented (zooplanktivorous, herbivorous, carnivorous, scavengers, xylophagous, saprophagous) reflect the environmental mosaicism of wetland systems.

Taking the rail route, if you want my opinion, is not the most fun part of their expedition, unfurling the chromatic monody of gray wood beneath their six feet, its texture not particularly welcoming for anything not (as they are not) xylophagous.

Underground Flex: Exoshakeem
By Rosie Fawzi for BCN #134
EXOSHAKEEM, an 18 year old creator and member of the vast Boston Hip-Hop scene, has always been drawn to creating from within. As we talked of the importance of balance between influence and individuality, he shared that since a young boy he always sought influence from community centered artists, that fearlessly broke musical and social boundaries in the industry. While focusing on the meaning of balance in his own work, EXOSHAKEEM reflected on how by being a leader, everyone can create a more balanced environment; "real communities require everyone to be a leader, this understanding means self growth leads to community growth". But stigmas within the art community in Boston had caused EXOs own individuality to struggle when it came to facing the struggle every artist must go through; the outside pressure to sell an image rather than being themselves. Luckily with age, his desire to connect with those around him only grew as he continued making uplifting, experimental, music with other Boston creatives. This mindset has allowed him to belong to something bigger and more impactful than himself; a community. In the past two years of self discovery, EXOSHAKEEM has been building his pride and joy, Memorial Drive, his album coming out 4/02/21 on all platforms. To get to know EXOSHAKEEM, go listen to Memorial Drive as he takes you through the ride of his life.

Does Anavar Steroids Alternative ship internationally? Yes, Anavar Steroids Alternative offer worldwide shipping including Gambia. They are excited to offer free shipping to some countries.
There are Lots of Anavar Oxandrolone Alternative Products You Can Acquire in Gambia, Which is the Most Ideal for You?
Anavar (oxandrolone) is not very toxic, not extremely androgenic, slightly anabolic, and quite mild on the body's HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis). Those are its 4 significant points, and Id want to take a look at each one a bit additional; as usual, gym-rumors and web opinion has made this steroid the topic of numerous mistaken beliefs.
Anvarol from CrazyBulk is a safe, risk-free, and entirely legal alternative to the extremely popular steroid, Anavar, that is commonly stacked with testosterone-boosting supplements such as Winsol, Clenbutrol, and Trenorol. By stacking this supplement, you'll have the ability to promote some of the best muscle development that you've ever experienced. In addition to stacking the supplement, Anvarol is commonly used for cutting cycles, lean muscle retention, higher energy rates, and significant strength at the health club.
Anavar is an anabolic steroid belonging to the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) family of anabolic steroid derivatives/analogues. Other substances that belong in this DHT family of anabolic steroids consist of Winstrol, Primobolan, Masteron, along with a number of others which are all derivatives of the parent anabolic steroid DHT. The common aspect amongst all these anabolic steroids is that they are, in one way or another, customized types of DHT and hence DHT could be considered the parent hormone of these anabolic steroids.
Anavar itself has a distinct favor of anabolic strength over its androgenic strength (as seen by its anabolic score of 322-- 630 due to its androgenic ranking of 24). In contrast with Testosterone, which has an anabolic: androgenic ratio of 100:100 respectively, it is easily seen that Anavar is far less androgenic and possesses a more powerful anabolic strength of at least 3 times the strength of Testosterone, and research studies have actually shown anabolic strength as high as 6 times that of Testosterone with hardly any accompanying androgenic activity. Anavar does not have any measurable estrogenic activity (due to its nature of being a DHT derivative), nor does it hold any Progestogenic activity.
It can be easily seen how these qualities make Anavar a favorable substance among athletes and bodybuilders wanting to increase athletic efficiency, muscle gain, and strength gain where the extra water weight gain is unwanted. It is also an anabolic steroid utilized extensively by bodybuilders wishing to shed body fat and keep as much muscle as possible during a calorie deficit, where once again additional water weight and possible fat retention/gain is not wanted. As one might be able to quickly see, Anavar is quite a flexible substance in regards to its uses.
For an anabolic steroid typically promoted as being mild, it really possesses some really excellent anabolic strength as we can see from Anavars anabolic ranking of 322-- 630 versus Testosterones score of 100; when compared to the other popular moderate anabolic steroid Primobolan, with its anabolic score of 88, we can see how Anavar is not as mild in the sense of anabolic strength as numerous have made it out to be. In regards to its reported anabolic ranking of 322-- 630, the reason why it is given this variety instead of one solid number for its anabolic rating (such as Trenbolones rating of a strong 500 or Testosterones ranking of a solid 100) is because of Anavars nature as an oral anabolic steroid. It is understood that anabolic steroids show a really poor percentage of survivability through liver metabolic process when consumed orally.
As we understand that oral anabolic steroids are modified at the 17th carbon (known as C17 Alpha Alkylation) in order for the anabolic steroid to become more resistant to breakdown in the liver, this grants an extremely high portion for anabolic steroids to go through the liver into the blood stream, however this does not ensure that 100% of the anabolic steroid makes it through. Some percentage will still be sadly lost, and therefore that is the reason that instead of a strong number, a general variety is given for many anabolic steroids (mainly oral substances for the reasons mentioned, as strength can vary due to liver metabolic process).
So, Where Can We Buy Anavar Alternative in Gambia?
Most hunt for a specialized area to Buy Anavar Oxandrolone in Gambia associated with numerous site sale of a Anavar Oxandrolone products. There does not appear to be a particular web site where Anavar Oxandrolone Alternative sells to Gambia, and all searches go back to the typical website or to various other products. Anavar Alternative can be bought from the CrazyBulk main website from Gambia and also this seems like the only means to obtain it. As with any type of product, it might occasionally show up on eBay or Amazon, nevertheless this is not likely to be as trustworthy as from the CrazyBulk official site and it is usually advised not to buy from eBay or Amazon.com as the high quality or refunds could not be assured.
Can You Inform Me Where to Find Anavar Alternative for Sale in Gambia?
If you have a prescription, you can purchase Anavar Alternative for sale at almost any pharmacy in Gambia. In some countries where it is not controlled, you can purchase it legally nonprescription without a prescription. Lots of people choose to buy Anavar Alternative online rather than from street vendors. Prior to doing so, make sure that you put in the time to check out some reviews. This way, you can make certain that you get a quality item at a reasonable rate.
What to Look for When Buying Anavar Oxandrolone and Avoiding the Frauds?
Keep away From Free Trial Offers Pay very close attention to this one and avoid getting scammed by the supposed complimentary trials. These sites fool you into checking out their product with a free bottle but Exactly what you don't see is the threat hiding in the small print that says they will be billing your charge card for more items instantly each month. Then they'll make it exceptionally difficult for you to cancel your auto-ship subscription. Prevent these frauds by buying from a reputable online merchant that does not have a car ship program or charges any kind of ongoing fee.
Ensure they use an Assurance Does the company guarantee the quality of their product. Are they confident enough in their product that they're prepared to offer you a Refund Warranty?

Sox show flashes, but winning ways elude them in Toronto
TORONTO — Amid alternating moments of greatness and inconsistency, the White Sox simply couldn't find a time to make it all click.
Chicago (23-26) left Rogers Centre with three consecutive losses to the Blue Jays, capped by an 8-3 loss on Thursday afternoon that will send the team to another tough road challenge with many unanswered questions and one energizing emotion.
"What you do [after these losses] is you get angry," said White Sox manager Tony La Russa. "Don't get discouraged, don't get frustrated, don't pout. Get angry, do something about it and get ready to play Friday."
The White Sox could certainly use that jolt of energy after a series in which the trend was an apparent disconnect between pitching and hitting.
When the visitors finally got a quality start — Johnny Cueto pitched six innings and allowed three earned runs in the finale — the bats fell dormant for most of the day. In the prior two games, the offense was there, but reliable pitching was amiss.
And every time it looked like Chicago may have found a way to come back within reach, with timely hitting and good defensive innings, Toronto roared back with a handful of unanswered runs.
"That's been the tale of all three games. … All three games, we got a little taste of winning late," said La Russa. "Those [losses], they get at you the most. But I'd rather lose having a chance than not."
The White Sox put their best foot forward in their attempt to avoid a sweep, stacking up on left-handed bats against Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah, who entered Thursday's matchup allowing a .304 average and an .811 OPS to lefty hitters. It looked like it would work wonders when Leury Garcia and Luis Robert opened the first inning with back-to-back singles and Gavin Sheets walked with two out to load the bases.
But Manoah promptly struck out Yasmani Grandal to end the inning and the early threat. The righty, a Cy Young candidate through 10 starts this year, retired the next 16 White Sox batters. It took Chicago 7 2/3 innings to earn its first extra-base hit of the day.
On the other side, Cueto was solid. The veteran White Sox starter struck out five and allowed seven hits, including a home run, over six innings. Without any run support, however, Cueto took his second loss of the season and is still looking for his first win.
"He pitched very well … we didn't score enough for him," said La Russa.
It wasn't until the eighth inning, with two outs and the Blue Jays sporting a 4-0 lead, that the White Sox bats woke up. Robert, who looked fully healthy in his second game back from the COVID-19 injured list, drove in two runs on a double that knocked Manoah out of the game. He then sneakily stole third base and scored on a Yoán Moncada single. The rally fell short, however, when José Abreu flied out to end the frame.
One run behind the Blue Jays after trailing by four for most of the day, the White Sox turned to reliever Reynaldo López, who was charged with four runs without recording an out and hit Matt Chapman with a pitch on the back that grazed his helmet and sent him down.
"I hate that part of the game," said La Russa. "It was accidental, but it just leaves a bad feeling. I'm glad he got up and finished the game."
The Blue Jays had broken the game open by the time the inning ended, effectively negating Chicago's near comeback.
"We [need to] address what wasn't good enough and how to fix it," said La Russa. "And then you make sure that you don't lose the good stuff just because you lost the game."
The key moving forward will be aligning the good stuff and capitalizing on the winning chances. As the losses start piling up, Chicago can ill afford to waste big nights from the likes of Andrew Vaughn and José Abreu or quality starts from veterans like Cueto, especially with another tough opponent in the Rays awaiting in St. Petersburg.
"We need to forget about these three games that we lost," said Cueto. "There's four months left, and we have to keep moving forward."

In its 13 years of service. Fighter Squadron 54 (VF-54) spent much of its life flying attack aircraft. Known first as the Copperheads and after 1951 as Hell's Angels, VF-54 gained fame in the skies over Korea and off the hostile coast of China.
The squadron was established on 26 March 1945 as VBF-153 at NAS Wildwood, New Jersey, initially equipped with F4U-1 Corsairs. In September, the squadron switched to the F6F-5 Hellcat. The Copperheads joined the Pacific Fleet in August 1946 and were redesignated VF-16A on 15 November. VF-16A deployed on board the Antietam (CV-36) in March 1947 for the squadron's first of seven deployments to the Western Pacific.
In October 1947, VF-16A switched to F8F-1 Bearcats, and on 15 July 1948 were redesignated VF-152. After upgrading to the F8F-2 in May 1949, VF-152 switched to the F4U-4B Corsair in December. On 15 February 1950, the Copperheads were redesignated VF-54.


As the first recipient of the Jan Nathan Scholarship, I had the incredible experience of attending the 2009 Stanford Professional Publishing Course, where I spent an entire week learning from some of the best people in the publishing business and from my smart, interesting fellow students. We came from around the world, having published both books and magazines on a spectrum of topics, and shared our insights and challenges. Although we worked hard all day (and half the night), we were sorry to see our time together end.
This year, in what turned out to be its last session, the course focused on the intersection of social media and publishing. We explored many aspects of social media, from introducing ourselves on the course's Ning page, to the ins and outs of FaceBook and Twitter, to setting up our own group on Ning. We learned how to integrate interactive elements like videos into our Web sites and how to work with bloggers to gain exposure for our authors and books. We heard about the future of the Kindle and of print on demand. And since ink on paper has certainly not become passé, we also talked about choosing books, book covers, the importance of type, and the financial realities of running a publishing company. I will cover some of these topics in a later article.
Because I think the information will be useful to other IBPA members, I'm going to focus here on a process I learned at Stanford called design thinking. Its purpose is to allow you to develop something that meets the needs of your customers instead of designing something you think they should want. The process relies on getting out and talking with people who are going to be using your products, and quickly developing prototypes about which they can provide feedback.
Design thinking also involves creating teams of people across disciplines so you have a better chance of coming up with truly new ideas. It's best if you can have your interdisciplinary team all in one place so you can brainstorm together, but the most important aspect is to bring together a group of people who can approach the problem from a variety of perspectives. I know this sounds complicated, but it really isn't. Here's how they taught it to us at Stanford.
Our first assignment was to design a better wallet. We were given about five minutes to individually come up with a wallet that was going to save the imaginary company for which we worked. Guess what? We barely knew where to start, and it was hard to come up with anything better than the wallets we already had. After all, for the most part, currently available wallets pretty much do what we expect them to do.
Our second assignment was to individually design a better way of carrying cash, credit cards, and identification. This opened our eyes a bit because we were no longer locked into the concept of wallet. Instead, we were thinking about functions and benefits. But we were still designing something around a preconceived concept, and we had absolutely no idea whether what we came up with would be valuable to our potential customers.
Then it was time to be creative. Our next task involved working with a partner and getting to know our partner through the contents of his or her wallet. We each had five minutes for an initial interview, a minute to reflect on what we learned, three minutes to ask additional questions and get stories, and another minute to record our insights about what this person really needed. This is the point where you would be out interviewing your readers, booksellers, or whomever you had targeted.
Following these interviews, each person made an inventory of the partner's needs. What is the partner trying to do? What gives this person a sense of fulfillment and meaning? From that inventory, each person developed a problem statement for the partner using a fill-in-the-blanks form: [Name] needs a way to [need] in a way that makes them feel [insight/meaning].
Using this problem statement, each of us had five minutes to sketch three to seven radical ways to meet the needs of our partners. Then we got three minutes to share our solutions and capture feedback.
The feedback part was hard for some of us, and it may be hard for you. You have to just listen and not try to defend your idea.
After we got feedback, each of us reflected on what new things we had learned about our partner and the partner's needs. We redefined our problem statement, using the same form. Then we generated a new solution. First each of us sketched our big idea—in three minutes. Then, in eight minutes, we each built a prototype to share with our partner. This prototype was made from readily available items, since it doesn't make sense to invest a lot of resources in an item until you know it's going to be useful. We were provided with bins of paper, stickers, markers, aluminum foil, pipe cleaners, staplers, tape, paper clips, and other craft supplies.
The prototypes were something our partners could actually hold to get a good understanding of what our concepts would look like and feel like. If you're using the design thinking process for something like designing a Web page, you can provide a sketch, but whenever possible, something partners can see in 3D and manipulate is best.
This was where we ended our exercise, but in real life, of course, you'd continue developing your idea based on additional feedback from your target audience.
So what did people create for their partners? Remember we started by trying to build a better wallet. But no one really needed a better wallet. Instead, one person needed a way to get her expense sheets done in a timely manner. So her partner designed a system that kept all her receipts together and rewarded her for getting the report done. Another person needed a way to feel close to his family while he was traveling.
The needs were as varied as the participants, but since publishers are not in the business of designing unique products for our readers, we needed to think about how we could apply design thinking in a publishing company.
The key is to talk one-on-one with customers in your target market and to learn about their lives and how books fit in; ideally, you have face-to-face conversations so you can ask questions as your curiosity leads you to them. You're not trying to get more demographic information or to have customers tell you what they want. Instead, your aims are to talk about their hopes and dreams, their frustrations, and how they spend their time; and to listen for ways that you can help them meet a need. Can you save them time or make their lives easier by solving some problem for them? Can you do something to inform or entertain in a way that has meaning for them?
When the brainstorming session is over, sort through the ideas that emerged, combine them, and select one to sketch out for initial feedback. Then it's on to the prototyping stage. The feedback can come both from your team and from the market you plan to serve. You'll be able to develop meaningful ways to serve your readers that will earn their loyalty and help your bottom line.

Jeremy Corbyn has thrown Labour's controversial support for Britain's nuclear weapons programme Trident into question by failing to guarantee it will be in the party's manifesto. The Labour leader swerved the question in a TV interview today by saying the document was still being drawn up.
Mirror 23rd April 2017 read more »
Last month Labour, uniquely amongst British political parties, sent its shadow disarmament minister, Fabian Hamilton MP, to be an active observer at the United Nations negotiating conference for a nuclear weapons ban treaty, in which 130 countries participated. Jeremy Corbyn now has an opportune chance to build on Labour's trailblazing international disarmament tradition, committing Labour to put Trident nuclear submarines and weapons into multilateral negotiations, sending a strong message to nuclear outriders North Korea, Pakistan, India and Israel.

Jessica Ennis-Hill finishes third on comeback from giving birth at Great CityGames Manchester
By Nick Howson
May 9, 2015 15:26 BST
Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill marked her first competitive outing since giving birth with a third-place finish in the 100m hurdles at the Great CityGames Manchester.
Ennis-Hill gave birth to first child Reggie in July 2014 and began her preparation for the World Athletics Championships in Beijing in August with a solid performance against a strong field.
Tiffany Porter claimed victory ahead of Lucy Hatton, with Ennis-Hill finishing in 13.14 seconds ahead of fourth-place Serita Solomon in an all-British field.
"It was a nice feeling to be on the start line again. It's been different for me because I've not been away for anything disappointing," she told BBC Sport. "It's been mixed feelings but it is good to be back now.
"It's frustrating to hit one [hurdle] because I felt like I was catching up. It felt OK, I've not done a lot of hurdling; I've not been out of blocks a lot of times so I can build on that now.
"I want to run sub-13 but I've started now I can go away now and I know I can get race sharp. I'll go back home now train and prepare for Gotzis."
