Hardcover$50.00(English)

Academy Award-winning director Michael Curtiz (1886-1962)-whose best-known films include Casablanca (1942), Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), Mildred Pierce (1945) and White Christmas (1954)-was in many ways the anti-auteur. During his unprecedented twenty-seven year tenure at Warner Bros., he directed swashbuckling adventures, westerns, musicals, war epics, romances, historical dramas, horror films, tearjerkers, melodramas, comedies, and film noir masterpieces. The director's staggering output of 180 films surpasses that of the legendary John Ford and exceeds the combined total of films directed by George Cukor, Victor Fleming, and Howard Hawks.
In the first biography of this colorful, instinctual artist, Alan K. Rode illuminates the life and work of one of the film industry's most complex figures. He explores the director's little-known early life and career in his native Hungary, revealing how Curtiz shaped the earliest days of silent cinema in Europe before immigrating to the United States in 1926. In Hollywood, Curtiz earned a reputation for explosive tantrums, his difficulty with English, and disregard for the well-being of others. However, few directors elicited more memorable portrayals from their casts, and ten different actors delivered Oscar-nominated performances under his direction.
In addition to his study of the director's remarkable legacy, Rode investigates Curtiz's dramatic personal life, discussing his enduring creative partnership with his wife, screenwriter Bess Meredyth, as well as his numerous affairs and children born of his extramarital relationships. This meticulously researched biography provides a nuanced understanding of one of the most talented filmmakers of Hollywood's golden age.

Shocking video taken moments after the 2015 Charleston church massacre shows Dylann Roof, with blood on his shirt and a gun in his hand, leaving the scene.
The footage, taken from a camera at the front door of the church, shows Roof calmly exiting the church while holding the .45-caliber Glock.
The video was played at Roof's trial Wednesday, along with a haunting clip of parishioners at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church greeting each other and hugging as they arrived at the Bible study some 30 minutes before more than 60 bullets claimed nine innocent lives.
Among the arriving worshipers is Roof, seen adjusting his sweatshirt with the gun believed to be hidden underneath.
CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann said Roof's mother was so distraught during the prosecution's opening statement that she suffered a heart attack in the courtroom.
"I saw the EMTs bring in a gurney into the courthouse to bring her out. Apparently, she had a heart attack. I don't know how well she is doing," he told Inside Edition.
Amelia Cowles fell ill at the start of her son's federal death penalty trial Wednesday. She collapsed and repeatedly apologized as her family and court officials came to her aid, The Associated Press reported.
For the families of the victims, relieving the nightmare in court has been a mournful experience.
Strassmann recalled to Inside Edition: "When a couple of survivors testify, you can hear sobbing in the courtroom, some even had to leave the courtroom. It is horrific for these families to relive the last awful moments in the lives of their loved ones."
In a written manifesto and in his interview with the FBI, U.S. attorney Jay Richardson said the young man "confessed fully" to what happened inside the historic church.
"I went to the church that night. I did it. I killed them," Roof admitted, according to Richardson.

Q: Is a unified, enterprise-wide information system a feasible or worthy goal? Considering the vast amount of digitized information sitting in each department of a large organization, is it a worthy goal to refocus information systems development away from linking individual systems and start considering a single infrastructure that aspires to be flexible and extensible enough to meet all the current and future requirements of each department?
For example, sales has a CRM package but would like to integrate with a custom-built system that the legal department uses. Both refer to the product database that is managed by the engineering and business development departments. Business rules across departments abound.
This web of dependencies is messy- so I am wondering if there is any best practice in dealing with this. Is a single "system to rule them all" a practical approach?
Does this type of goal amount to a net positive for the business, or have you experienced net negative effects?
It would obviously be an iterative development process but should some pieces get rolled out without a full spec + implementation, or would it be better to run a parallel system and cut over at a certain time?
I still haven't mentioned the business requirements of the finance department...  :)

A: I've worked on a number of these... at early stages of just trying to get all the players in the same room to actually building out something that was "agreed" upon.  No matter what happens, who does it, how it comes about, etc, etc, it's painful.
The problem within an existing organization is that each group - sometimes department, sometimes product team - has developed their own tools and methods for getting the job done.  No matter how inefficient or out of date it might be, it's theirs.  If you can get these people willing to check out the system, that's a starting point.
The next problem you'll run into is that each team does things a bit differently, has different jargon for the same things, and wants to store/interact with the information a bit differently.  While this doesn't seem like a huge thing, it is.
The complexity compounds with each and every group you add to the mix.  And if you think "well, I'll start with this group and add more and more groups as I go!", it doesn't quite work that way.  Once you launch it with one group (sales?), the other groups will see it as the "sales system" and be adverse to doing it.
Trust me... there are reasons why ERP-type system runs into the 10's of M's... it's not all technical, lots has to deal with the willingness to put up with this crap.

A: As soon as you can construct a development organization that everyone who has profit-and-loss responsibility can agree will fairly balance everyone's priorities and understand their needs at least as well as the people under their direct control do, and will allocate resources as efficiently and responsively as they can acquire them from elsewhere, then it would make sense.  But I'm not holding my breath.

A: When you have one monolithic big-@$$ mainframe/etc, that becomes more do-able. However, in my experience, I fond that each department has its own priorities, wants and needs. Quite often, they are not compatible with each other. If you try and make these things fit together, you can never get total agreement on the end product, and probably never server your departments to the level they require.
This also leads to a secondary problem where the departments build their own ad hoc systems in secret (probably in MS Access or Excel); that you discover years down the line when the maintainer quits/retires/is_fired, and the department discovers it needs some kind of maintenance.
There's also a timing issue. You now end up with multiple departments waiting on the upgrades for another department before their can get their own. Sorry, F&A - you can't have your tax update until engineering gets their fizz-bang enhancement in, an they are 2 months behind schedule already.
I think it is saner to have multiple systems dedicated to the task at hand. If data needs to flow from one department to another; that's where glue code and interfaces come into play. Or in the worst case situation, you just add it to a humans task list. "Clerk Jane, on Monday, you are going to print report X and send it over to Dept. Y through inter office mail."

A: In short:

*

*an organisation in a growing market has better things to spend it's money on than this kind of global optimisation of costs

*in a stable or contracting market, it's unlikely to be financially viable unless it leads to real savings: i.e. job losses

*the people who would lose their job if it succeeds almost certainly have an effective veto over it's success.

A: Take a look at the concept of Enterprise Architecture, for which multiple frameworks exist in order to solve exactly the issues you mention.

Kongregate Labs is Kongregate's attempt to show its users how to make games themeselves.
It's a sensible strategy – user-generated games are hard to make compared to Wiki entries or home videos, and yet Kongregate's lifeblood is garage developers. Giving users a walkthrough on a basic Flash game has the potential to push more gamers/designers into the Indie space, in much the same way that home computers like the Sinclair Spectrum and the BBC Micro kick-started the games business in the UK in the 80s.
So a simple-to-follow tutorial that takes designers through building a sideways-scrolling shooter, including backgrounds, key commands and user interface design, is a welcome addition to the site. I confess I haven't been through it myself (if anyone has, please let me know), but initial comments around the web are promising.
Of course, being able to make a game technically is a very different problem from making an entertaining, addictive, just-one-more-go game. So hats off to Kongregate, now lets just see if the output lives up to the promise.

Euro banknotes and coins are legal tender in the euro area, and cash is the only form of public money to which everyone can have direct access. The ECB and the national central banks – also known as the Eurosystem – have a fundamental responsibility, together with the banking sector, to ensure the smooth supply of cash and facilitate the use of cash in payments by people and businesses. We are safeguarding the future of cash in several ways
We ensure the availability of euro cash
We work to ensure that euro banknotes and coins are available to the public at all times. The national central banks offer free-of-charge cash services throughout their countries and they also work to make the cash cycle as cost efficient as possible. We also take into account the needs of international markets since between 30% and 50% of euro banknotes circulate outside the euro area. And if a digital euro euro were to be issued in future, it would exist alongside cash.
We support access to cash services for everyone
We want people and businesses to have access to their money, whatever their preferences and payment needs. For this to happen, banks need to provide adequate cash services, including cash withdrawals that are free or incur only a reasonable fee. We also support retailers that provide complementary cash services such as "cash back" or facilitate limited cash withdrawals and deposits. We help banks to deal with sudden surges in demand for banknotes and make sure that cash can be used as a fall-back means of payment in case electronic payments are temporarily unavailable.
We make sure that cash is accepted everywhere
Most people in the euro area still prefer to use cash for retail payments. Ensuring that cash is accepted everywhere is therefore a vital part of the payment system and is also in line with its status as legal tender. It allows consumers the freedom to choose how to pay and means that people who do not have access to electronic payments are not disadvantaged. Retailers, traders and other private businesses cannot refuse cash payments, unless the two parties have previously agreed on other means of payment. Generally, public authorities and service providers must also accept cash, unless otherwise stipulated by law.
We develop innovative and secure euro banknotes
Euro banknotes are protected by the latest and most effective technologies to make them highly resistant to counterfeiting and easy to authenticate. We ensure the authenticity and high quality of euro banknotes in circulation and enforce strict standards for how banks and professional cash handlers check and authenticate them. The European Commission's PERICLES programme is also encouraging the development of security features for potential future upgrades of the current euro coin denominations. Last but not least, we aim for the design of euro banknotes to be one that Europeans can identify with.
We keep banknotes safe and sustainable
We make sure that banknotes are safe to use by researching the potential impact of euro banknote production and circulation on public health and carrying out scientific examination and testing. We also look at the environmental footprint of banknotes to identify opportunities to reduce their environmental impact via new products and processes. This ensures that euro banknotes and their production processes become as sustainable, green and environmentally friendly as possible.

FLDS has new president, but is Warren Jeffs still their prophet?
Sunday February 7, 2010 FLDS, Polygamy
A new president has been called to lead a controversial polygamous sect, replacing jailed leader Warren S. Jeffs in that post.
Wendell Nielsen, 69, is now president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and of the corporate entity that handles the faith's business dealings, according to a document filed with the state of Utah.
Theologically, the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) is a sect of Mormonism.
Theologically, Mormonism in turn is a cult of Christianity
Theologically, the FLDS is also considered to be a cult of Christianity
Sociologically, the FLDS is a high-demand, high-control, destructive cult. Among other things, it teaches and practices polygamy, breaks up families and marriages, and has engaged in arranged and forced marriages.
Explanation: Sociological vs. theological definitions of the term 'cult.'
In contrast to the Mormon Church, the FLDS practices a more original version of Mormonism. Mormonism's doctrines constantly change in response to outside pressure and realities.
Comments & resources by ReligionNewsBlog.com
Nielsen signed the document amending the corporation's status on January 9. It was filed with the Utah Division of Corporations four days later.
It is unclear what status Jeffs now holds. It is likely he remains the sect's prophet, a position the FLDS consider appointed by God.
"As far as whom the members look to for their spiritual leadership, that's a decision most people make on an individual basis," said Rod Parker, a Salt Lake City attorney who represents FLDS members.
But, "As far as who has the legal authority to act on behalf of the church, there's never been any question that the people I'm dealing with have that authority and this filing helps to clarify that," Parker said.
He said that group includes Nielsen, Willie Jessop and others.
Jessop, who acts as the FLDS spokesman, said Nielsen "has been running the day to day affairs of the church for quite some time."
The church has communities in Hildale; Colorado City, Ariz.; Bountiful, Canada; Eldorado, Texas; and in numerous other states.
Regarding Jeffs, Jessop said he would "rather not comment on who the prophet is out of fear there'd be retaliation by the government."
"It would be nice if the government respected people's rights to believe how, where and what they may," he said.
The corporate filing was made shortly after Bruce R. Wisan, a fiduciary overseeing the sect's $110 million property trust, filed a court document questioning who had authority to represent the FLDS in negotiations aimed at settling disputes over the trust. Wisan asked for a court order to depose Jeffs because he was still listed on corporate documents.
Jeffs issued a press release Dec. 4, 2007, saying he was resigning as president of the FLDS church's corporate entity. He made the announcement shortly after receiving two five-to-life prison sentences on rape as an accomplice charges.
At the time, the move was described as necessary to allow someone else to handle the church's business. But the sect did not file until last month any formal document noting who stepped into that void.
Nielsen was first counselor to Jeffs, as well as to his father Rulon T. Jeffs, who was the faith's president until his death in September 2002.
He started Western Precision, a high-tech machining company now located in Nevada, and numerous other businesses. Nielsen, said to have 21 wives, currently lives at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas.
Texas authorities have charged him with three counts of bigamy based on evidence found at the ranch during a 2008 investigation. The charges are related to Nielsen's spiritual marriages to three women, all of whom were in their 60s at the time of the 2005 ceremonies. Among the FLDS, such marriages allow women to be under the care and protection of men considered to be faithful priesthood holders.
Nielsen also allegedly witnessed other marriages that are the subject of criminal charges in Texas, including at least one involving one of his underage daughters.

A new law is becoming drawn up by the Panama City Beach City Council in Florida that makes catching some shade at the beach much more challenging. The plan has already carried out actions such as removing wooden stakes that illegally prevented bathers at 1 beach from getting into an region used by windsurfers, and fining private beach owners for failing to maintain their beach space sufficiently clean or safe.
However, beach umbrellas can come to the rescue here , giving you a appropriate location for storing all of your products as you seek shade or sunbathe close by. It'll be a lot safer than putting beach umbrella stand your gear in a tote bag that lies close by to a sun bed, particularly if you're preparing on chilling out with some headphones in.
Lands' End's All-natural Canvas Open Leading Tote is made of the exact same sturdy supplies as the model and has comparable develop high quality, but we in the end passed on it because its four interior pockets, whilst handy for day-to-day organization, will trap sand at the beach.
Buyers also get a 120-pound sand base that boosts its stability, a light 9-pound pack that you can carry easily to the beach and back, a two-piece 1.5mm thick aluminum pole that withstands everyday abuse, and 10mm fiberglass ribs that do not break and or lose their structural strength more than the years.
Along with applying a sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher — a shot glass's worth on your whole physique every two hours — it's a great concept to bring a beach umbrella on seaside escapes to deflect direct sunlight and help reduce your risk of sunburn.
The big bag we tested shipped with the standard eight-inch handles, long sufficient to fit over your shoulder and important for freeing up your hands for umbrellas and coolers. The beach umbrella itself is 60″ in diameter and produced of one hundred% sueded micro fiber polyester with a DWR water repellent coating.
When purchasing a beach umbrella, verify to see if the pole and fabric are nicely connected. Just remember that very few beach umbrella makers – if any – will offer guarantees in their warranty against damage to the product that has been caused by wind harm. Its aluminum-coated underside, on the other hand, filters harmful UVA and UVB radiations before they attain your body (SPF 50+) while the durable carry bag that it comes with has an integrated strap for easier transportation to the beach. You should also see whether or not or not a carrying bag for the beach umbrella is integrated in the box.
The new law, which will have to be voted on twice prior to becoming law, would ban tents, bay shades and umbrellas from becoming utilized within 30 feet of the shore. I know that somebody heat sensitive ought to perhaps not go to the beach in July but that's what fits our schedule this year. Even for slightly formal events, such as an outside company occasion, a beach umbrella can also be utilized for the same function. The Tranquility Chair is a heavy-duty, fold-flat transportable beach chair that has padded armrests and a large zippered pocket along the leading back edge of the headrest. Handy and simple to set up (no tools necessary!), the Beach Umbrella Table is adjustable and features 4 cup holders.
In many ways, this transforms your beach umbrella into much more of a tent – but this certainly should not dissuade you. This beach and patio market umbrella turns hot sunlight into cooler shade with UPF 50+ sun protection. Even though the carrying bag shouldn't be a deal-breaker when you have got your heart set on a certain beach umbrella, do not be afraid to ask the company what choices they provide.

Generating a Buzz on Campus
Designated as a 'Bee Campus USA,' in April, UConn pledged to educate and build a community that will aid in the fight to save the bee population, which has seen a decline due to the use of pesticides and rising temperatures.

The University of Connecticut recently joined a movement aimed at reestablishing the bee population worldwide.
Designated as a "Bee Campus USA" in April, UConn pledged to educate and build a community that will aid in the fight to save the population, which has seen a decline due to the increased use of pesticides and rising temperatures.
One of 29 institutions across the country and the only one in Connecticut, achieving the "Bee Campus" status was a project led by UConnPIRG as part of its "Save the Bees" campaign.
According to Emily O'Hara '20, a rising sophomore and bee campaign coordinator for UConnPIRG, the organization and its national branch, U.S. PIRG, have a history of pursuing environmental causes and pollinators were a next logical campaign.
"We have a 40-year track record of victories," said O'Hara. "We challenge special interests and fight for the causes students care about through grassroots organizing."
The bee decline has caught attention globally. The insects play an important economic role as pollinators helping sustain agricultural production for crops such as coffee, cocoa, nuts, berries and many other fruits. In the United States, that value reaches billions of dollars annually, according to a 2015 White House report.
As a designated campus, UConn agreed to pursue seven efforts, including establishing a committee to develop a Campus Pollinator Habitat Plan, offering a workshop or course on a pollinator-related topic and sponsoring service-learning projects.
"UConn has a low-toxic Integrated Pest Management plan, and we have pollinator-friendly plants on campus. I knew at such a green university, we would have most if not all of the requirements fulfilled," said O'Hara.
UConnPIRG had to secured the information for the application from several departments. "The seven-step application came together fairly smoothly, thanks to UConn's environmentally friendly track record," she added.
O'Hara and UConnPIRG then designed two service-learning projects, which will take place sometime in the fall 2017 semester, created a website and committed to annual renewal of the designation. Going forward, UConn's Office of Environmental Policy will handle the task of coordinating and applying for the designation, with the first renewal deadline being in January 2019, she noted.


As a result of his GCSE performance (8A*, 2 A, 1 B) in his GCSE examinations, his contribution to school life, his performance on the sports and athletic fields and his contribution to the wider community as a sports coach, Todd Lindley was awarded the Whitbread Memorial prize 2016. It is always lovely to win an Award, and as you can see from our announcement last term, both Todd and the school were pretty pleased.
Actually receiving the Award takes a huge bound forward in terms of prestige, as Todd, his mother Julia, sister Gabriella and grandparents Alan and Monica Sibley found out on Tuesday. The family party, accompanied by Headmaster John Rayer and myself were invited to the House of Lords by the President of ISA, the Lord Lexden to receive the award. As it happens, I have known Alastair Cooke for many years, from his previous professional life as the general Secretary of the Independent Schools Council. As soon as he read our submission in nomination of Todd for the award, he recognised the fact that Todd's sister had received the same award 3 years previously (item 10 on this ISA bulletin), and with extraordinary generosity invited Gabby to the House to enjoy the occasion.
It gets better, because we were invited to witness Question time in the House for 60 minutes or so, when the Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler made his noble statement on the failure of John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons to consult with him on the question of Donald Trump being invited to speak to the House. We witnessed real politicking in the making, something which was a main news headline later that day. It gets better still, when shortly after Lord Speaker's intervention, we witnessed former Claires Court schoolboy, Lord James O'Shaughnessy, now a junior minister in the Department for Health, defend the government's strategy to ensure we have sufficient nurses in our hospitals for the future. Boy, by even the Lords' gentle ways, James was given a grilling by home and opposition members. Filled with admiration for the work of the house, we descended from Strangers gallery into the main circulation square of the lords, only to be greeted by Lord O'Shaughnessy, like long lost friends! Whatever else happened then could only metaphorically put the 'icing on the cake', which actually happened, because Lord Lexden then invited us to tea with him in the Lords Dining Room! And of course there was the little matter of the presentation itself, which took place in one of the excellent meeting rooms, somewhere in the gods above the chamber.


Unlucky India went down 0-2 against UAE in their second match of Group 'A' in the Asian Cup 2019 on Thursday at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Blue Tigers struck the crossbar twice in the second half and forced couple of good saves from the UAE goalkeeper earlier but were punished for momentary lapses in cocnentration by the home team.
Speaking after the defeat, India head coach Stephen Constantine said: "Congratulations to UAE for their win. I think we created enough chances, especially in the first half, to have won two games, not just one game. The problem is, when you don't convert them, they tend to come back (at you) and you pay for it. Last game, we converted them. But in this game, we didn't. UAE had three shots on goal and one hit the post. I think we deserved a draw from this game but again, if you don't convert your chances, you will pay.
He further added, "The boys gave absolutely everything. Two or three of them ran themselves to the ground which is usual for us. I thought that we did not convert and we paid. There were a couple of chances we should have scored.
Constantine also revealed why he replaced Udanta Singh in the final few minutes of the match and fielded Jackichand Singh on the right flank.

I am extremely pleased to introduce to you the Hereditary Chief of Clan Sinclair....a man of true character and vision......... Meet the Hereditary Chief of Clan Sinclair, Lord Caithness, The Right Honorable The Earl of Caithness, Privy Councillor in Britain. We are indeed fortunate to have a person of such stature as our Chief at the helm. Don't forget to visit the "Photo Gallery" for photos of the Chief at the Stone Mountain Games in 2000 and 2001! What delightful visits. Hats off to you, Chief Malcolm, Honorable Sir!
Born on 3rd November 1948, Malcolm Ian Sinclair, the Lord Berriedale (the title given to the eldest son) he inherited the earldom and that title following the death of his father, Roderick, the 19th Earl of Caithness, in 1965.
Roderick (Roddy) was a distinguished soldier in the British Army with the Gordon Highlanders (now amalgamated with the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons). He rose to the rank of Brigadier and as such led his regiment (part of the 51st Highland Division) through France, Belgium, Holland and into Germany during World War II. He was decorated with the CBE and DSO and after leaving the Army was appointed the Regiment's Colonel. His first wife, by whom he had three daughters (Jean, Margaret and Fiona), died during the war and after it, in 1946, he married a widow Gabrielle Ormerod, whose husband had been killed on active service in Africa leaving her with a daughter (Susie). In 1947 while posted to Germany another daughter (Bridget), was born and the next year in Burma, Malcolm was born. Roderick's next posting was to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) where for three years he was given the position of Command of their Army with responsibility for the training of their officers to take over from the British ones following independence from a colony. On returning to the UK he was given various postings in England and Scotland before in 1955 being appointed factor (land agent and manager) of Her Majesty The Queen's private Estate at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire where he lived until his death.
Malcolm spent the better part of his childhood at Balmoral and went to the local village school before, in British fashion, being sent to a boarding school when aged eight. It was a very happy childhood in a large family and he was fortunate to have been brought up in such an attractive part of Scotland with so many outdoor sports and activities readily available. When he was thirteen, he was sent to another boarding school, Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England and which his father had attended. This was quite a contrast from what he had been used to in Scotland and so the holidays became even more precious. His father died when he was sixteen and Malcolm then became the Earl of Caithness. The title dates from 871 when Caithness, Orkney and Shetland were part of the Norwegian Realm and Rognvald, Jarl (Prince or Earl) of Moeri was granted the title of Earl of Caithness and Orkney by King Harald of Norway. In 1455 King James II of Scotland, with Caithness, but not yet Orkney and Shetland under Scottish rule regranted the peerage of the Earl of Caithness to William Sinclair. That is why Malcolm is both the 58th Earl (including the Nordic dynasty) and 20th under Scottish law and hereditary chief of Clan Sinclair.
Following his father's death his mother was granted a "grace and favor" apartment in Hampton Court Palace by The Queen and this became the new family home. Although originally destined for the Army, Malcolm decided that was not the career for him, but he would follow his father's latter career and become a factor in Scotland. Before going to the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, to be trained he worked for a year on the Duck of Buccleuch's estate at Drumlanrig, Dumfriesshire, on land that was probably once owned by his ancestor William, the Earl in 1455, when he was also Lord Nithsdale. He also spent a year traveling and working abroad in the U.S.A., Australia, and Africa. Having completed the three-year course at Cirencester, Malcolm worked for a firm of land agents in Oxfordshire, England, to obtain his final qualification. Following his marriage in 1975 he decided to carry on working in Oxfordshire and following a change of jobs, began working part of the time in London and soon shifted his business life full time to London. His hereditary peerage game him the right to sit in the House of Lords and politics soon became an important feature in his life, together with his business. In 1984 his career changed again when Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister, invited him to join her reforming government. He started as a Whip and Lord in Waiting to The Queen before progressing to an Under Secretary of State at the Department of Transport and then Minister of Sate at, successively, the Home Office, Department of Environment, the Treasury, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and back to the Department of Transport. He is the only hereditary peer this century to have served in the three great Department of State (Foreign and Office Offices and Treasury) and while in the Treasury was also Paymaster General. He was created a Privy Councilor to Her Majesty The Queen in 1990.
After his wife died in 1994, he resigned from Mr. John Major's government to spend more time with his children Iona and James. The Lady Iona Sinclair was born in 1978 and after schooling in Oxfordshire spent a year traveling and working in Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. She has finished her schooling at Edinburgh University where she received a zoology degree. James, The Lord Berriedale (known as Berrie) was born in 1981. After attending school in Wales he traveled to Bosnia , Africa, Australia and the U.S.A. Berrie then went on to Aviation School to obtain his private pilot's license.
Malcolm has once again taken an active part in politics from the backbenches in the House of Lords. Also, he is now dedicating much of his time to the Clan with the creation of the Clan Sinclair Trust for the preservation of Castle Sinclair/Girnigoe. He has attended many of the Highland Games in the USA as "Honored Guest" and as "Chieftain of the Games".


Message: I will always remember Morris as he was in the 1980's. A dynamic personality surrounded every summer by we musicians who occupied the Rowell household for rehearsals, he was full of good advice. My condolences go to Mary, Fran and the others who grew up in God's country!
Message: Morris was a very kind man and always very pleasant when I saw him. You could just tell when you met him that he was very caring. May God bless and sending condolences to his family and friends. May youfind peace.

Relief Reports Half-Year 2021 Results and Provides Corporate Update
RLFTF | September 24, 2021
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 24, 2021 / RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX:RLF, OTCQB:RLFTF) (" Relief "), a biopharmaceutical company seeking to provide patients therapeutic relief from serious diseases with high unmet need, today reported its results for the half-year ended June 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update.
"While we await the FDA's decision on the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for IV RLF-100 (aviptadil), filed by our collaboration partner NeuroRx, Inc. (NeuroRx), we have successfully transformed Relief into a fully-integrated, multi-product, revenue-generating biopharmaceutical company," stated Raghuram Selvaraju, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors of Relief. "A critical component of our success so far this year was the acquisition of APR Applied Pharma Research SA (APR), which expanded and diversified our specialty drug pipeline, added a number of key commercialized products, including the PKU GOLIKE(R) family of products for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU), provided a European based commercial infrastructure that we hope to leverage for future product launches, including ACER-001, and offers an internal R&D capability that we plan to use for the development our own products as well as for third-party products on a fee for service basis."
Dr. Selvaraju continued, "Through our collaboration with Acer Therapeutics, we recently filed a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ACER-001, a proprietary powder formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPB), designed to be both taste-masked and immediate release, for the treatment of urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). We look forward to the potential acceptance of the filing for regulatory review, which we expect to receive next month."
"Also important was our recent acquisition of AdVita Lifescience GmbH (AdVita), from which we gained key pending intellectual property that may cover an improved inhaled formulation of RLF-100 (aviptadil), in development for a number of lung diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and checkpoint inhibitor-induced pneumonitis (CIP). In parallel, IV RLF-100 continues to be evaluated as a treatment for severely ill COVID-19 patients, while the inhaled formulation is being tested in two clinical trials, one for patients with critical COVID-19 and another for moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. As we look ahead, and with a firm financial footing in place, we will maintain our commitment to pursuing additional strategic opportunities, both in-license and acquisition related, in order to aggressively expand and diversify our business."
Clinical Development Highlights:
RLF-100 (aviptadil), IV
In March 2021, Relief's collaboration partner, NeuroRx, Inc. (NeuroRx) announced top-line 60-day results for the phase 2b/3 trial of RLF-100(TM) for the treatment of patients with critical COVID-19 respiratory failure. These findings formed the basis for NeuroRx's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In April 2021, NeuroRx announced that RLF-100 had been selected for inclusion in TESICO (Therapeutics for Severely Ill Inpatients with COVID-19), an international, phase 3, multicenter clinical trial being sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In June 2021, NRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NRx), the parent company of NeuroRx, announced that NeuroRx had submitted its EUA application to the FDA for the use of RLF-100 in the treatment of critically ill COVID-19 in patients with respiratory failure. NeuroRx also reported that it plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA.
In June 2021, NRx announced additional positive results from the RLF-100 U.S. Expanded Access Protocol (EAP). These EAP data were then submitted to the FDA and were characterized by NRx as "real world" evidence in support of the findings from the phase 2b/3 trial.
In July 2021, NRx reported that it identified a statistically significant effect of RLF-100 in preventing the sharp rise in cytokines, commonly associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19. The data was collected as part of the ongoing U.S. phase 2b/3 trial and NeuroRx reported that it had submitted these findings to the FDA as a supplement to the pending EUA application.
In July 2021, NRx announced the successful validation of the commercial formulation of RLF-100 for IV use, allowing for high volume manufacture, with an anticipated one year or greater stability, under appropriate storage conditions.
In July 2021, NRx announced that the Nation of Georgia's Prime Minister and Minister of Health had issued an EUA for RLF-100.
In August 2021, NRx provided a safety update on RLF-100 which is being tested in the ACTIV-3 Critical Care phase 3 study sponsored by the NIH, designed to evaluate RLF-100 and remdesivir in critical COVID-19 patients, as a monotherapy and in combination against placebo. They reported that the study's Data Safety Monitoring Board found no new safety concerns in the trial and recommended continued enrollment.
In August 2021, NRx reported a new analysis showing that patients with acute respiratory failure due to Critical COVID-19 who were treated with aviptadil demonstrated improvement in blood oxygen, indicative of improved lung function, within a day of starting treatment. NRx noted that this analysis appears to support its plan to submit an application for Breakthrough Therapy Designation to the FDA and that, if granted, could confer Priority Review to the aviptadil NDA, when submitted.
RLF-100 (aviptadil), Inhaled
In January 2021, a clinical trial participation agreement for the inclusion of an inhaled formulation of RLF-100 into the I-SPY COVID-19 clinical trial was signed between NeuroRx and Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative(TM) (Quantum Leap) of San Francisco.
In January 2021, Relief and the former shareholders of AdVita signed a binding term sheet for Relief to acquire all shares of AdVita, giving Relief access to all of AdVita's assets including further pending IP rights that may cover RLF-100 inhaled formulation specifications for its potential application in the treatment of lung diseases such as ARDS, pulmonary sarcoidosis and CIP.
In April 2021, Relief and AdVita announced the initiation of an investigator-sponsored, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial evaluating the inhaled formulation of RLF-100 for the prevention of COVID-19-related ARDS.
In July 2021, NeuroRx and Quantum Leap began treating patients with inhaled RLF-100 in the I-SPY COVID-19 Trial (NCT04488081), a phase 2 adaptive platform trial aimed at improving treatment for severely and critically ill COVID-19 patients.
In July 2021, Relief and the former shareholders of AdVita closed a definitive agreement for Relief to acquire all shares of AdVita, under which Relief paid the AdVita shareholders EUR 25 million in Relief common shares.
In August 2021, Relief received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the FDA for inhaled RLF-100, for the treatment of sarcoidosis, adding to existing ODD designations for APR-OD031 for phenylketonuria (PKU) and APR-TD011 for epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
In September 2021, AdVita received regulatory clearance to commence a phase 2 clinical trial in Germany to evaluate inhaled aviptadil for the treatment of sarcoidosis.
ACER-001
In March 2021, Relief signed a Collaboration and License Agreement with Acer Therapeutics, Inc. (Acer) for the worldwide development and commercialization of ACER-001 for the treatment of Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs) and Maple Syrup Urine Disease.
In May 2021, Acer announced the outcome of its Type B pre-NDA meeting with the FDA for ACER-001, for the treatment of UCDs. Based on the FDA's feedback, both Relief and Acer noted that the proposed data package would likely be sufficient to support a Q3 2021 NDA submission under the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway.
Subsequently, in August 2021, Relief and Acer announced the submission of the NDA to the FDA for ACER-001 for UCDs. Relief anticipates submitting a Marketing Authorization Application for approval of ACER-001 for UCDs in the European Union before the end of 2021. Pending a positive decision by regulators, management believes that ACER-001 could be launched in both the U.S. and Europe during 2022.
APR Applied Pharma Research SA
In May 2021, Relief and the former shareholders of APR signed a binding term sheet for Relief to acquire all of the outstanding shares of APR, a privately held Swiss pharmaceutical company with over 25 years' experience in identifying, developing and commercializing known molecules engineered with drug delivery systems in niche and rase diseases on a global basis. The transaction closed in June 2021.
In May 2021, APR initiated a pivotal clinical trial with its novel nasal spray, Sentinox, a Class III medical device, in patients with mild COVID-19.
In September 2021, APR expanded its PKU GOLIKE(R) product line with the launch, in Germany and Italy, of PKU GOLIKE(R) KRUNCH, giving patients a convenient chewable tablet for on-the-go dietary management of phenylketonuria, a rare, recessive metabolic genetic disorder affecting approximately 350,000 people, globally. Management hopes to announce its plans to market PKU GOLIKE(R) in the U.S. before year end 2021.
Management and Board Additions
As part of the acquisition of APR, Paolo Galfetti, Chief Executive Officer of APR, has also assumed the position of President, Relief Europe, with overall responsibility for Relief's activities in the EU and UK.
The Board of Directors was expanded with the appointment of Patrice Jean, Ph.D., joining Raghuram (Ram) Selvaraju, MBA, Ph.D. (Relief's Chairman of the Board), Tom Plitz, Ph.D. and Paolo Galfetti to round out Relief's relevant life sciences Board level expertise.
Taneli Jouhikainen, M.D. was appointed to the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer.
Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
The operating loss amounted to CHF 14.5 million with operating expenses of CHF 15.4 million and a one-time gain of CHF 0.9 million following a third-party debt write-off.
The period is marked by a significant growth in operating and administrative expenses. Service expenses of CHF 8.3 million (HY2020: CHF 2.9 million) were mainly driven by development activities for RLF-100 and ACER-001. Personnel expenses increased to CHF 3.4 million (HY2020: CHF 0.2 million) as the conduct and oversight of development and administrative projects required additional skilled professionals. Legal and administrative services reached CHF 3.2 million (HY2020: CHF 0.4 million), reflecting the company's need of legal and professional services in relation to its business activities, including the acquisition of APR and AdVita.
Cash used in operating activities has ramped up to CHF 17.7 million from CHF 3.2 million over the same period last year.
Net loss for the period was CHF 14.7 million (HY2020: CHF 8.3 million profit)
Relief acquired APR in exchange for CHF 21.5 million in cash and CHF 45 million in Relief shares. The sellers are also entitled to receive contingent milestone payments of up to CHF 35 million in a combination of cash and Relief shares upon completion of pre-agreed milestones. APR was consolidated in the balance sheet of the group on June 30, 2021, and will contribute to the group's income statement in the second semester 2021.
Jack Weinstein, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Relief noted: "Relief remains well funded and, based on current programs, we believe we have sufficient reserves to support multiple clinical programs through key value inflection points. Since the beginning of the year to June 30, we bolstered our balance sheet with CHF 30 million in equity financings. We have also been able to take advantage of the flexibility provided by our additional share listing, giving the company, as of September 24, an available cash position of CHF 40 million."
Post Reporting Period
On July 26, 2021, Relief announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with two U.S. institutional investors to purchase in a private placement an aggregate of 71,428,572 shares of Relief common stock at a purchase price of CHF 0.21 per share, raising aggregate gross proceeds of CHF 15 million.
On July 27, 2021, the company issued and listed an additional 1 billion common shares. Relief used a total of 413,956,419 shares comprising 135,741,063, 206,786,784 and 71,428,572 shares, respectively, to meet its obligations to the AdVita sellers, the APR sellers and the provision of shares for the CHF 15 million private placement. The remaining shares can be used to support Relief's current and future business development activities, and to provide additional working capital.
On July 27, 2021, Relief acquired AdVita in exchange of EUR 25 million in Relief shares and possible future contingent payments of EUR 20 million payable in cash.

Gerald Loeb Award Recognizes Excellence in Business Journalism
by Dan Kazan May 15, 2011 October 4, 2011
Business and finance journalism is a specialty of the writing profession which is of utmost importance to anyone involved in business, investing, or even just trying to save money in a simple savings account in their local bank.Just as freedom of the press is one of the most important checks protecting democracy and freedom, so too ethical and courageous business reporting makes it possible for people to understand the world of finance that they are a part of so that they can make better choices about their hard-earned money.With this idea in mind a man named Gerald Loeb, who wrote several books on investing during the difficult financial times of the Great Depression, established an award which he hoped would "encourage journalists to inform and protect private investors as well as the general public," especially in the areas of business and finance.The Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism was first established in 1957, recognizing two winners in 1958. The award then expanded to three winners until 1973, when the UCLA Anderson School of Management took over administration of the award, which is sponsored now by the G. and R. Loeb Foundation. Ten journalists are recognized as winners in ten separate categories.Even recognition as a finalist for the Gerald Loeb Award is prestigious, as in the instance of financial writer Zachery Kouwe. Zachery Kouwe became famous for his reporting for the New York Times on the infamous Ponzi scheme of Bernard L. Madoff in 2009. Kouwe also reported on the massive insider trading going on within the Galleon Group hedge fund and its founder Raj Rajaratnam.Jack Dolan, Matthew Haggman and Rob Barry shared the Gerald Loeb award in 2009 in the category of 'medium and small' newspapers for the article they wrote for the Miami Herald entitled "Borrowers Betrayed." This meticulously researched piece of journalism was a four part series exposing the rampant fraud within the home loan business sector. The investigation conducted over an 8 month period revealed that Florida had handed over mortgage broker licenses to more than one thousand convicted felons. An additional two thousand felons were allowed to work as loan originators, no license needed.It is easy to see how journalists like Dolan, Haggman, Barry and Zachery Kouwe bring a great benefit to society; and recognition like the Gerald Loeb Award is a small way for society to say thank you.

Congrats are in order for Angela Simmons.
The daughter of Run–D.M.C's Rev. Run announced on Instagram Friday, May 27 that she is expecting her first child.
"We are overjoyed and super excited to receive a blessing this big! Starting a family was something that I could have only dreamed of," Simmons, 28, wrote alongside a snap of her growing baby bump.
In case you missed it, in April, the socialite, model and fashion designer announced she was engaged with a drool-worthy snap of her diamond sparkler. "YES!! I couldn't be more excited. This is only something I could of only dreamed of. I'm over the moon and feeling so blessed to be able to share my life with the one I truly love. Everything happened in the most perfect way," she wrote via Instagram.
Of course, the WeTV reality star is already a proud aunt to siblings Vanessa and JoJo's children. Simmons' older sister welcomed her first child, daughter Ava Marie Jean, in February 2014 while younger brother JoJo welcomed his first child, Mia KayLee, in February 2016.
We wouldn't be surprised if Simmons makes for one spectacular mom. Although a due date has yet to be disclosed, the "Growing Up Hip Hop" star's pregnancy appears to be coming along swimmingly. Show her some congratulatory love in the comment section below.

Uncategories Information about studying abroad @PG
Information about studying abroad @PG
Indian students can apply for study in many world-renowned universities abroad according to their wish and need. These days, there are many options for Indian students to study abroad. If you are a student who wants to get his higher academic degrees from a foreign university, then these days there are many courses available in colleges and universities in many countries around the world.
Many institutes or universities prefer to admit Indian students as foreign students and on the basis of some criteria, Indian students are also given concession. Due to tough competition in academy and job market in our country, most talented students in India want to get admission in a good foreign institute for their higher studies. Universities around the world appreciate the talent and activism of Indian students and want Indian students to take admission in their campus. Foreign degree holders get excellent job offers in India. There are also attractive career options available abroad for Indian students pursuing a degree from a foreign university. Therefore, in this article we are discussing about the study options available for Indian students abroad.
The availability of maximum options behind the choice of studying abroad.
That is, the availability of various courses and career options. In addition to the main stream's popular options (STEM courses - Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), the courses available at major higher education institutions in India are limited. This often forces students to turn to foreign universities. Some institutes or universities abroad also offer quality education programs in specific or less popular courses.
फाइल सेव लिंक निचे दी गई है
Education quality
Even in India's top colleges and universities, educational standards of international standards are not fully adhered to. By the way, the quality of higher education institutions of India is improving gradually and now these are also making efforts to meet the educational standards of international standard. There is still a lot of difference between practical and theoretical studies and special emphasis is given to theory while on the other hand, foreign universities and colleges have adopted more interactive and participatory methodology through case studies and experiential learning. This leads to proper development of students and also increases their interest in studies.
Research students get best facilities and opportunities
When it comes to research opportunities, Indian higher education institutions are far behind their foreign counterparts in this matter. For doctoral programs in India
There is still not enough arrangement for financial support and resources. Even now, despite the desire and talent, most of the students are not able to do research work due to lack of financial aid. Compared to Indian University
Foreign universities receive a large amount of money for the development of research facilities and invest in it, which provides sufficient financial support to the students and they are able to complete their research work.
Promising career and career prospects.
A degree from a foreign college or university makes a candidate's resume more effective. Generally speaking, if the students who have a degree from a foreign university are more likely to get job opportunities and good salary package, then students with degrees from an Indian university or institute are more likely to fall out of it.
Migration facility
Due to the facility to stay abroad after studying from a foreign university, most of the Indian students seek the option of studying abroad so that they can get the facility to apply there later without any hassle. Especially the graduation level students who are foreign Choosing to study in universities, often in the country where they study, but also want to do further jobs. In many countries like America and Canada, at the completion of studies, very favorable for students studying there to find employment. There are immigration policies.Indian students get the most facilities in these countries
As more and more students of India want to move abroad for higher studies. Therefore, nowadays some changes are being seen in the list of most preferred study places for Indian students abroad.Traditionally, countries like the United States, Britain and Australia have topped this list for the last decade but in addition to these, other countries have also joined this list.
The United States or the USA topped the list of study abroad sites for international students in general and is also the first choice for Indian students. Ivy League colleges attracting international talent such as Harvard, Stanford, Princeton and MIT. And because of universities, America is definitely the most preferred study destination abroad.

INTI RAYMI FESTIVAL OF THE SUN
24 abril, 2018 22 abril, 2019 itep_blog
The Inti Raymi Festival of the Sun in Peru
It makes perfect sense to worship the sun, After all, what is the true source of life giving energy on this planet, but, the sun? It helps plants grow, like the hundreds of different types of nourishing Andean potatoes. Sun nourished green, leafy life forms give us air to breathe and feed grazing animals like llamas, which are perhaps the coolest creatures on the planet. That many cultures actively praise this life giving behemoth of scorching gas is a testament to the undiluted awe our ancestors felt upon seeing the sun. The Incans were sun masters as they built their temples ever closer to the sun, and their festivals are a lasting tribute to that fireball in the sky.
The name of this is from Quechua "Inti" "Sun", "Raymi" "Festival", the Inti Raymi (festival of the sun) was a religious ceremony of the Inca Empire, dedicated to the divinity Sun, one of the most venerated gods in Inca religion. It was the festivity of the Winter Solstice and the Inca New Year.
During the Empire, the Inti Raymi was the most significant of four rites feasted in Cusco. The ceremony was also said to show the mythical descent of the Incas. It was crowded with colorific dances and processions, as well as animal sacrifices to thank Pachamama and to ensure a good cropping season.
In 1944, a historical reconstruction of the Intiraymi was directed by Faustino Espinoza Navarro and indigenous actors. The first reconstruction was largely based on the chronicles of Garcilaso de la Vega and only referred to the religious ceremony. Since 1944, a theatrical representation of this festivity has been taking place at Sacsayhuamán, two kilometers from its original celebration in central Cusco) on June 24 of each year, attracting thousands of tourists and local visitors.
A weeklong celebration begins prior to the new year festivities with concerts and street fairs. This part is less about tradition and more focused on fun. Lose yourself in song and dance at Cuzco's Plaza de Armas while sampling local Peruvian cuisine and just generally absorbing the good times.

When I found out passport fees were increasing on July 13th, I quickly filled out the paperwork to renew my passport. A quick stop at Costco saved me $4 on each set of photos (two photos for the passport, extras for Visa applications) and my passport was on its way!
My first passport was stolen at a train station in Italy, which gave me the opportunity to visit the US Embassy in Rome. The Embassy had a photo booth for passport photos...and they only cost 2 Euros! It actually ended up being a great thing - I got to visit Hard Rock Rome and check out our beautiful embassy. The woman that helped even gave us directions for some of the best pizza I've ever had.
That temporary passport was only good for a year, so I had to quickly send off for another passport. The photo on that one was...horrible to say the least. This passport earned a few stamps and two India Visas - one 1 year visa (used for my 2008 trip) and one 5 year visa (for my 2009 trip).
My most recent passport needed to be replaced, so July 8th I rushed to send off my paperwork and managed to save $30 before the rate increase! This time I was given the option to add a passport card (good for travel by car or boat to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda) for an extra $20. I weighed the pros (extra ID while traveling) and cons (limited to driving or sea ports) and decided against it.

I was successful in adding a header widget to the Thematic Child Theme (using the following method: http://bit.ly/jU5fIO) this morning but have a small problem. I need the widget to fall within the BRANDING <div> and not solely the HEADER <div>. Is this possible? The BRANDING <div>'s background image must span the entire 940px and when I add the widget, it kicks it down into the content area. If I adjust the CSS to float the BRANDING <div> to the right, the image (and <div>) is off centered from the rest of the site. Any thoughts?
Maybe just a little CSS will help.
Thanks for the reply, Scott. I had just got it to lay right and logged back in to close the post.
Is the "position:absolute;" method more stable?
If you are able to accomplish it with fixed widths, just keep it. I wouldn't look at it from the stance of stability, but more the "it just allows you to do other cool things".
For example if you needed that #header-aside to be 100% width and at the very top, absolute positioning will allow you to do that. I just look at absolute positioning like "Velcro", you can "stick" things places instead of floating them.
One last question. I have styled the <header> the way I need it to look and now the <main> div is farther down the page than it should. I can't find an obvious reason in the CSS that would cause this to take place. (I have been staring at it for 10 hours now, so it is probably right in front of my face.) Any ideas right off? Thanks!
There is a 520px height on the #branding div.
It is located in the 2c-r-fixed.css file.
If it is still too much, there is padding on the bottom of 44px in your style.css.
Scott, you are awesome man! Thanks again for all of your help!

Home AC Milan Why Bakayoko is set to return to Chelsea in the summer
Why Bakayoko is set to return to Chelsea in the summer
Diptanil Roy
Bildbyran
Gattuso has never been a player who could handle situations calmly. It now seems his hot head has got into his way of management as well as he publicly condemned a player on loan from Chelsea with a pre-determined mindset from earlier this week to make the footballer pay.
Yes, the incident we are talking about is about how Gattuso slammed Bakayoko and publicly accused the player without bothering to harmonise things behind the scene first, ahh Gattuso.
Bakayoko has now countered Gattuso's assessment of the incident in a tweet, saying: "It has been several weeks since I was spoken about in the press but I decided to say nothing and continue to work.
"What happened tonight and the interpretation people are trying to give to it compel me to react immediately, because I do not accept that I should be considered a player who refuses to enter the field when his coach asks him and who does not respect his club and his team-mates.
"I was ready to give 200 per cent even if I had to play only five minutes tonight. When Lucas started to suffer on the ground, I was asked to prepare myself in case there was a change. So I prepared myself immediately and went to warm up for 2/3 minutes maximum.
"Then I was asked to return to the bench. That all happened I think between the 23rd minute and the 26th.
"It's when I sit on the bench that the coach speaks to me in unexpected terms and I only repeat his words. Nothing more.
"Let it be clear: I have never refused to come on to play and I do not get overheated. It seems to me that the images speak for themselves.
"I had only one desire, to enter the field and help my team-mates as I have always done and as I will do until the end of the season."
The on loan midfielder found sympathy in AC Milan director Leonardo but it seems all but set that he will return to Chelsea because of Gattuso's childish behaviour as a manager. As committed and loyal as Gattuso is, the middle aged man needs to grow up if he wants to be a professional manager, otherwise Sunday football is always there for him behave as he wishes.

Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents in juices of three varieties of: strawberry (Senga, Ducat, Marmolada), raspberry (Beskid, Canby, Malling Seedling), black currant (Ben Lomond, Titania, Ojebyn) and red currant (Rondom, Jonker, Holenderska) were determined in this study. Furthermore, the juices were analysed for glucose:fructose ratios. Examinations were performed in three consecutive years: 1998, 1999 and 2000 with enzymatic methods. The achieved sugar contents and sugar ratios were compared with standard values specified in Code of Practice. Deviations from ranges in sugar contents established in the Code of Practice were found and changes of these ranges were proposed. On the basis of sucrose, glucose and fructose contents as well as the glucose:fructose ratio it cannot be judged whether the examined berry juice is authentic or adulterated with other berry juice.

My Word: Best Palco solution would be a compromise by Saul Steinberg
By Saul Steinberg
The Times-Standard
For the past 28 years, I have lived the saga of Pacific Lumber Co. as a special education teacher and vice principal of the Scotia Unified School District, and as a resident of Carlotta. I would like to weigh in on the present bankruptcy hearings.
I believe that the best solution is a compromise between the Mendocino Redwoods/Marathon plan and the Nature Conservancy/Save the Redwoods and community forest plans presently on the table before Judge Richard Schmidt in Texas.
The towns of Scotia/Rio Dell, Stanwood A. Murphy Elementary School, and the general Humboldt County community need the stability offered by the Mendocino Redwoods Plan. It maintains the town, the mill and the timberlands in a strategy consistent with the past 100 years.
At the same time, Save the Redwoods League has a long history of preserving old growth forests, and the Nature Conservancy has established itself as a worldwide leader in the ongoing struggle for carbon credits, forestland and landowners' rights.
The community interests represented by the Mattole Restoration Council, the Humboldt Watershed Council and the Van Duzen Community Forest groups have all spent decades defending the watersheds in which they live.
Presently, the bankers/investors own notes for the forest. It is immoral that Maxxam took $500 million from the federal and state governments and never reduced the loan while cutting over $2 billion worth of timber and devastating communities.
So, where do we stand? Mendocino Redwoods has done an admirable job with public relations. They have defined a situation in which jobs can be maintained, the Scotia community remains intact, the school functions and timber harvesting moves toward a sustainable level without clear cutting or removal of critical old growth habitat.
The sooner that this happens the better, as Pacific Lumber Co. has been harvesting residual old growth from the Van Duzen at Root Creek and Cummings Creek, as well as submitting new plans to CDF to harvest old growth adjacent to the parks near the Avenue of the Giants. Mendocino Redwoods is a very viable option!
Save the Redwoods and the Nature Conservancy also have capital to conserve key ecological forests in the Mattole, the Van Duzen, Elk/Freshwater, especially adjacent to county and state parks. Local community members who know their watersheds can contribute their knowledge to this process, and to sustainability, working community forests and restoration.
Mendocino Redwoods would become the major landowner of the most significant percentage of forestland up to 80 percent. Save the Redwoods and the Nature Conservancy would make purchases of 15-25 percent of the most pristine and vital forestlands. Then we have a working company and a future plan for conservation, preservation and restoration.
Payment could be directed to the creditors, the timber note holders and local companies like Steve Wills Trucking at the highest dollar level. If a half-billion dollars was good enough for Headwaters, another half-billion dollars or so more should put us back on track.
Forget the auction idea of giving the forests to the highest bidder. Who might these bidders be?
This concept is flawed because we've already had one horrific owner, and we need dependable stewards for our forests and streams. The concept of a bidding auction also shows a serious neglect for the town and the community of Scotia.
I think that everyone is ready to move on to a new era in Humboldt County history that does not include Maxxam! Lets hope they can reach decisions in Texas to bring positive change to Pacific Lumber Co. for the next hundred years.
Saul Steinberg is a longtime teacher and administrator in Scotia, community coordinator for Friends of the Van Duzen, field manager for the Van Duzen Watershed Project Water Quality Control Board State grant, and ran for Second District supervisor in 2004. He resides in Carlotta.
