MS Dhoni retires from international cricket for India | Cricket News
by Cory Weinberg August 15, 2020 Top News
Suresh Raina announces international retirement on same day
Last Updated: 15/08/20 5:36pm
Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain discuss the glittering career of former India captain MS Dhoni after he announced his retirement from international cricket.
MS Dhoni, who captained India to victory in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, has announced his retirement from international cricket.
The 39-year-old announced his decision in an Instagram post, saying: "Thanks. Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired."
Every cricketer has to end his journey one day, but still when someone you've gotten to know so closely announces that decision, you feel the emotion much more. What you've done for the country will always remain in everyone's heart…… pic.twitter.com/0CuwjwGiiS
— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) August 15, 2020
Dhoni played 90 Test matches for India, averaging 38.09 and scoring six hundreds, before retiring from the longest format in 2014.
He is India's most successful captain in limited-over internationals, having won three ICC trophies – the 2007 World T20, that 2011 World Cup win on home soil and the 2013 Champions Trophy.
Dhoni played a staggering 350 ODIs, averaging 50.57 and scoring 10 centuries, with his 10,733 runs placing him fifth on India's list of all-time run-scorers, behind only Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid.

Shortly after Dhonis announcement, former India batsman Suresh Raina also said he was retiring from international cricket in a post on Instagram, saying: "It was nothing but lovely playing with you (Dhoni). With my heart full of pride, I choose to join you in this journey. Thank you India."
Raina played in 18 Tests and 78 T20Is, while the the 33-year-old had the greatest impact in ODI cricket, playing 226 times, averaging 35, including 36 half-centuries and five hundreds.
Sky Sports cricket expert Michael Atherton led the tributes to Dhoni, saying: "When a player retires, what do people remember about that player? Not the average or the numbers but how they played the game and the iconic moments that they were involved in.
"I would remember the hitting of that six at the Wankhede Stadium to win that World Cup in 2011. What a fabulous player he was."
Shane Warne makes a plea for MS Dhoni to join the London Spirit for The Hundred next year after his retirement from international cricket.
Dhoni also played in 98 T20 internationals for India and has enjoyed great success captaining Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League – winning the competition three times since its launch in 2008.
Dhoni did not specify if he had retired from all cricket, so he might yet feature in the rescheduled 2020 IPL tournament that is set to take place behind closed doors in the UAE from September.

His last appearance in international cricket came in India's semi-final defeat to New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup.
Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain also commented on Dhoni's incredible career as the news of his international retirement broke, adding: "Great captain, probably the best white-ball captain there has ever been and also a cool, calm customer under pressure.
"A great finisher of a game, the game wasn't won until you got Dhoni out. That is a good combination when you're a great captain, cool and calm under pressure."

Dave Tinglof steps down as Westborough football's head coach to spend more time with his family
By Ethan Winter/@EWints
"I didn't want to miss any of his games," Tinglof said. "And with my twin girls who are both seniors, I wanted to be there for them. When it comes to family, family always comes first."
The Westborough football program will head into next season with a new head coach.
Dave Tinglof is stepping down from the position after five seasons because he wants to spend more time with his family.
He has three children, all of whom attend Hudson High School. His twin daughters are seniors on the Hudson cheerleading team and his son will be a junior on the football team next year – and will be playing on Friday nights.
"I didn't want to miss any of his games," Tinglof said. "And with my twin girls who are both seniors, I wanted to be there for them.
"When it comes to family, family always comes first."
Tinglof told his players about his decision at the Rangers' postseason football banquet.
"I felt like it was important that I told my players before they heard it from someone else," he said. "I wanted them to hear it from me first and let them know that it was because of family reasons."
While the decision certainly came as a shock to his players, they respect his decision.
"We were all caught by surprise, because we know the tremendous amount of time and effort that he's invested in us and how much he cares about us," junior linebacker and running back, Kevin McCarthy said. "But we all know how important family is to him so we all respect his decision."
Players who are particularly close to Tinglof knew his resignation was a possibility.
"A lot of us that were close to him kind of had that in the back of our mind of what he might do next year with his son being a junior at Hudson High and expected to play football," senior quarterback Luke Lentine said. "We know how much he values family too.
"He constantly preaches day by day how important family is and how it comes before football," McCarthy said. "And that we should all look out for them."
Despite stressing the importance of family to his team, stepping down as head coach wasn't easy.
"It was a tough decision," Tinglof said. "Our junior class is a great junior class."
It was my pleasure to work for a school community with great student athletes, teachers, staff and administrators. It is time for my family to have my full attention. I look forward to watching the future Rangers excel next season and beyond.#Familyfirst#rangerpride
— David Tinglof (@DavidTinglof)December 18, 2019
Westborough Athletic Director, Johanna DiCarlo said through the @WestboroRangers twitter account, "Thanks to Coach @DavidTinglof and his staff for a tremendous 5 years at WHS. We so appreciate all your efforts and dedication to our program. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger!"
During his five years at Westborough, Tingloff met, mentored and befriended many people, while compiling a 20-35 record. He took a team that was 2-9 in his first season as head coach in 2015 to a 6-5 record and a playoff berth in 2017. He went a combined 9-13 in his last two seasons at the helm.
"I have made great relationships with a bunch of people at Westborough over the years," he said. "With the football players, their families, teachers and the administrators. I'm going to miss them."
DiCarlo has already begun the search for the Rangers next head coach posting the job listing through schoolspring.com on Twitter saying, "While we are sad to see Coach T go, we are also excited to open the search for the next Rangers' head football coach."

— WHS Rangers (@WestboroRangers)December 18, 2019
McCarthy – who will be a senior next year – hopes that the next head coach is able to continue the culture that Tinglof started and left behind.
"I want a coach that is able to make us better every day," McCarthy said. "I want a coach that will teach us and show us how to win and what it means to compete."
Tinglof leaves a lasting impact on the football program, according to his former players.
"Coach Tingloff has definitely made a huge impact on my life," Lentine said. "He helped me develop my skills of hard work and what it means to commit to something."
Even though that meant Tinglof pushed his players past their comfort zone when necessary.
"In practice he'll get on us but he would then explain to us that he is getting on us to make us better, not only as a football player, but as a person," McCarthy said.
"When I started as a junior he was really hard on me and broke me down and it made me into a better player," Lentine added.
It is also clear to the players that Tingloff leaves a more competitive Westborough football program than it was five years ago.
"He's leaving the program in much better hands than when he first got here," McCarthy said. "He has changed the culture for the better."
While Tinglof is stepping away from the game for now, he isn't stepping away from coaching for good.
"I'll be back on the sidelines at some point soon," Tinglof said. "It just won't be on Friday nights for the next couple of falls."

Digital Command Control with Jim Providenza
Jim Providenza is one of the few people in the country who has always used command control. This wasn't a desire to be first. Despite being a cynic in his profession as a police officer, where people don't always tell the truth, he really does believe people, especially in the hobby. When he first heard about the General Electric Astrac system, it was from a modeler who had started using it. The brand had already gone out of business but another firm had picked it up and developed the compatible system. As he started building the original Santa Cruz Northern in 1977, he had already made the decision at that point to go ahead and use command control. He started with it then and never went back. Although he calls it "Stone Age stuff," it really worked for him.
Allen Keller asks Jim how much he works on the layout now. He tries to average a couple hours a week at least. He has a round robin group that meets once a week, going to each other's layouts and getting in an equivalent of 16 to 20 man hours in a single evening. By himself, he likes to work on something on the railroad every day, even if it is only for 15 minutes or so. Although he might have been able to do all the work on the railroad himself, he wouldn't want to and he learned a lot more modeling it with other people. The people are what he likes most about the hobby. When he started out modeling he was a bit of a lone wolf. Although he would be perfectly happy to pick up a copy of a modeling magazine and learn things himself, but he wouldn't have met any great people. For an introduction to Digital Command Control or tips for wiring your layout for Digital Command Control, visit the Model Railroad Academy archives.
Adding Details to Model Railroad Backdrop Scenery
There are a number of ways to add realism to your model railroad layouts, and one of the easiest and most useful is to create lifelike model railroad backdrop scenery. With a well made backdrop, the elements of your layout appear to continue off into the horizon and convince the viewer that there's more to…
Hide Holes with Model Railroad Landscape
When building a new model railroad scene, you may encounter a situation where your track must travel outside the backdrop. This might be because you want to create the illusion of a tunnel or you need to change levels for some reason. No matter why you want to put in the hole in your railroad…
Build Model Railroad Scenery for Depth and Realism
Here's some great news for all you artistically challenged builders out there: adding realistic backdrops to your model railroad doesn't require a degree in the arts or a great eye for detail. You no longer need craft lessons or expensive equipment to build model railroad scenery; thanks to photo-editing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, adding…

NSF awards grant to professor
Carnegie Mellon professor Jacobo Bielak was awarded $1.6 million by the National Science Foundation PetaApps program to help reduce seismic risks by developing earthquake computer simulations.
For over 10 years, Bielak, a professor of civil and environmental engineering, in conjunction with David O'Hallaron, a professor of computer science and electrical engineering, has led a team of researchers from several campuses of the University of California in developing important computer models of earthquake behavior that push the limits of existing technology.
His research will provide much needed details as to how urban environments behave in large earthquakes and reveal what is necessary to improve disaster.
Creating such models should simulate how important infrastructures of an urban city such as buildings and bridges will be impacted and provide key information as to how to build them.
In collaboration with researchers at the Southern California Earthquake Center, Bielak and O'Hallaron have produced realistic 3-Dmodels of basin geology as well as the sources and ground motion of earthquakes.
This team, using special algorithms and simulation structures, and with continued collaboration, hopes to further improve their projection of earthquakes and with it public safety.
This ongoing research project is meant to create an accurate picture of earthquakes and use this information to build infrastructures in a way that will least likely result in catastrophe.
Boss takes charge in Las Vegas
Carnegie Mellon's Tartan Racing Team continues to make headlines. Last November, Boss, the team's sport utility vehicle, won the DARPA Urban Challenge. The award came with a $2 million prize and national and international media attention.
Last week, Boss arrived in Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show, where thousands of people and members of the press came to see the unveiling of the latest technological advancements.
Boss stood out amid the latest thin-panel TV screens, video notepads, smart car designs, and other high-technology products.
Rick Wagoner, the CEO of General Motors, gave a speech at the show, sharing his company's plans to invest millions to develop a car inspired by Boss. General Motors' ideal car will prevent accidents by braking and accelerating on its own.
In anticipation of the conference, Boss appeared in television and in print. On NBC's The Today Show, the world saw Al Roker climb into the vehicle in which he was robotically chauffeured around a parking lot.
The vehicle went on to appear on CBS Evening News and The Early Show, where correspondent Daniel Sieberg took a spin similar to Roker's.
Boss was also covered recently in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times in discussion of Wagoner's upcoming speech and General Motors' plans.
Students can learn more about Boss and Tartan Racing's plans for the future at TartanRacing.org.


A duck named Buttercup has been given a new lease on life after its owner printed it a custom made webbed foot to replace its backward appendage that left the bird unable to walk.
Buttercup's Nashville-based owner Mike Garey fitted the duck with the prosthetic limb last week and was able to post a video of it online by Sunday night, the Tennessean reports.
The video shows Mr Garey fitting Buttercup with a sock for comfort, before sliding on the artificial limb that looks just like a duck's webbed foot.
After the fitting the bird tests out the new limb and appears to take to it like a duck to water.
"Look at him go," Mr Garey yells excitedly in the video as the duck waddles around.
Buttercup was born in a high school science lab with a backward leg and could barely walk.
In February the bird had its left foot amputated, leading Mr Garey to consider a replacement limb.
He designed Buttercup's prosthetic and sent the plans to a local 3D printing company, which completed the job.
The firm is planning to hold a meet and greet with Buttercup to showcase the technology.

HERE, IN THE HEAVY SILENCE OF PRAYER, THE PERFUME ASSUMES A SPIRITUALLY ELEVATED SIGNIFICANCE.
40 Knots by Xerjoff JTC is the Italian sailing Club you leave from, destination: the Mediterranean, for an incredible course that Xerjoff has studied, uniting the pleasure of navigation with the charm of slices of life suspended in time. The feeling of freedom in a sailboat allows you to think about the Mediterranean from an unusual perspective, temporal and olfactory. An undefined time, guided only by the wake of aromas that this extraordinary sea highlights and makes powerful in a jubilation of colour, light and mystery. The Mediterranean brush becomes a palette declined into a thousand colours that the sun brings out in an emotional and highly effective abstract.

How To Use Instagram Guides In Your Marketing
Technical Guides · 10th March 2022·Hosting and DNS
Hosting and DNS
Estimated read time 6 minutes
In this advanced age of technology and e-commerce, everyone is in a hurry to complete their tasks, even shopping and eating have gone online, which shows the extent to which we have started relying on the internet, and social media.
Instagram and Facebook are the top names when it comes to social media marketing.
Instagram has introduced Instagram Guides to keep the users updated on Instagram marketing tips and updates. These Guides are a cross between Instagram carousels and Instagram blog posts. With a cover image, title, introduction, and optional description entries, these Guides can be pre-published posts, places, or products either from the creator's account or public accounts. However, the inspiration for these Guides was travel. However, it was later expanded for all users and topics.
Carousel Marketing
Instagram Guide is a string of consecutive Instagram posts created to share one's product, brand, business, or just tips and information. Each post guides to some Instagram products page or post where users can select, and complete the purchase, or just bathe in the colors of multiple other products and services on the display of the Instagram carousel. Clicking on each product, tip or service can lead to different public accounts or to an admin's account.
Instagram launched three diverse types of Guides: posts, places, and products, with the intention of promoting travel and shopping consistently. The travel and shopping industry holds huge marketing potential in Instagram Guide carousel. From world-famous brands to global drop-shipping, social media has been used for marketing for over a decade now. Instagram Guide is just another step towards reaching that goal.
Product Guides are linked to shops operating on Instagram, whereas Places Guides are connected to Tourism pages. Instagram Guides have opened a new world of social media marketing, from home improvement brands creating repair and renovation guides to cosmetics brands uploading step-by-step guides and pictures for different makeup looks. Clothing brands and fashion brands also display an array of colors on their Instagram Guides. This is an opportunity in which no one gets left behind.
Cooks, cooking brands, chefs all are reaching new heights of fame and success by uploading their secret tips, secret ingredients, and centuries-old methods of making delicious dishes. Jewelry brands and electronic instruments are also some of the most popular products clicked and bought on or through Instagram.
Travelers, local influencers, and vloggers can use Places Guide to give local tips, tour guides, restaurant recommendations, dos, and don'ts of a place, or a list of hidden wonders that a place has to offer. This can help in garnering not only those much-coveted followers but helping other fellow tourists as well. More followers mean more popularity, which in turn means more revenue. So, yeah, an excellent form of marketing, Instagram Guides are.
Instagram Guides offer brands a chance of creating long-form content for their users, i.e., scrollable Guides offer users more details and features of brands and services and keep the users on your Guide longer, arousing their curiosity and interest, both essential and beneficial when it comes to successful marketing strategies.
Once content format has been finalized, place your images, posts, and most importantly your links in your Instagram Guide, so that you can both be seen and analyzed by Instagram users. Instagram posts had the flaw that for more details users had to follow one type of link or another, the link followed either to their official Instagram page, or their own separate website. But Instagram Guides are a scrollable Guide or a shop in their own self. Although links can also be added to these Guides, but one does not necessarily have to follow them for more information, all the information is present on Instagram Guide.
Because Instagram content has gone long-form after the introduction of Guides, just like a blogging website, so, users are able to search for content by keyword now, which then surfaces Instagram Guides on search engines. This means discovering content on Instagram has gotten a whole lot easier and accessible. Users no longer have to know brand name or search by hashtags on Instagram to get their desired results, typing a few keywords on search engine directs the users to Instagram Guides, which obviously makes them much more marketable and popular.
The constant flow of tips, recommendations, and updates is a sure way to keep users hooked and build brand loyalty as well as a massive fan following. When users are kept engaged and in touch with the brand it not only boosts sales and popularity but also forms a bond between brand and consumers.
This bond is the most important element in increasing sales and marketing. Instagram Guides have been substantial in creating and solidifying this bond between brands, old and new, and utilizing this bond is the best way to succeed in all kinds of marketing.

Did you know that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month?
Now, factor a large truck or commercial vehicle into the collision.
It's true that any type of crash has the potential to be traumatic. But those involving bigger vehicles like big rig trucks, buses or commercial vehicles are almost always severe due to the sheer size and weight of those types of vehicles.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported that in 2015, 3,852 people died in large truck crashes.
While you can't control another driver's actions, you can prepare yourself potential problems and learn how to avoid them. Distracted Driving Awareness month is the perfect time to do just that.
Though each examples listed above is dangerous and potentially deadly, texting while driving yields some of the most devastating results. DistractedDrivingAccidents.com revealed that 78 percent of all distracted drivers are distracted by their cell phones.
You can't stop a truck driver – or anyone else on the road – from using their cell phone while driving, or keep them from dozing off while operating 40 tons of steel at 65 mph. Yet, you can be proactive about your own behavior behind the wheel.
If you see a commercial vehicle, bus or large truck driver driving erratically, pull over until they pass far enough ahead of you to avoid them on the road. Don't risk your safety. Instead, put your vehicle into park and call 9-1-1. By alerting the authorities of a dangerous truck driver on the road, you could help prevent a collision.
Driving while distracted comes with high risks, from a fine to life-altering injuries or death. You might think that truck, bus and commercial vehicle drivers have a greater responsibility to focus on the road since their vehicles can cause significantly more damage than cars, but this is not always the case. The mere penalties for truck and commercial vehicle drivers for unruly driving are serious, including costly fines, license suspension and in some instances, disqualification for operating a large truck or commercial vehicle.
When truck drivers allow themselves to become distracted while driving, the consequences can be fatal. Unfortunately, this fact still doesn't keep accidents of this kind from happening. Be mindful of what's happening on the road around you, and do your part to ensure safety for all.
If you or someone you know has recently been involved in a wreck with a truck, you could benefit from speaking to an attorney.
At Fried Rogers Goldberg, more than 95 percent of our practice is dedicated to handling truck, bus and commercial vehicle accident cases. We possess more than 75 years of combined legal experience and have the skills and knowledge to be your best advocates. We will make phone calls, collecting medical records, manage appointments and take care of every aspect of your case.

Whatever real estate the couple decides on, it will serve several purposes. John Kimmich will soon announce a second beer that the company will can. The additional brewery will allow him to create different varieties and experiment with smaller batches. These will be served in the tasting room, but will primarily be for retail. Kimmich also envisions an outdoor as well as an indoor space.
Kimmich says the tasting room will likely serve snacks, such as cheese plates, along with a rotating lineup of beers. However, don't look for another brew pub. "We don't ever want to have a full restaurant again," she says.
Beyond that, Kimmich says to expect the unexpected. "Our creativity has been stifled [by lack of space]. But soon we'll have a lot of space that will allow us to do all the fun things we want to do."


Part of Women and Girls Lead and Why Poverty?, Solar Mamas follows Rafea, a beautiful, strong-willed 32-year-old Jordanian mother of four, traveling outside of her village for the first time ever to attend Barefoot College's solar engineering program. India's Barefoot College, where rural, poor and often illiterate women from around the world are offered the rare opportunity to receive an education that teaches them how to make their communities self-reliant and sustainable. Once there, Rafea will join women from Guatemala, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Colombia in a life-changing six-month job-training program that will transform her into solar engineer — and change her life.


The Piano Sonata No. 8 was composed during the early few months of 2017. The opening movement seeks to represent "travel" to view examples of visual art in a museum. While at the museum, there is much "contemplation" while viewing the many examples of visual art, and the second movement represents this experience. Having concluded the viewing, there is a "return" to the place of lodging, and the concluding movement is represented thereby.
This sonata has a bit of influence from the Mussorgsky work Pictures at an Exhibition. The work is performed attacca.

Iraqi Interim Government Declares State Of Emergency
7 November 2004 -- The interim Iraqi government has declared a state of emergency for 60 days throughout the country except for Kurdish-run areas of the north.
The announcement was made at a Baghdad news conference today by government spokesman Tha'ir Hassan al-Naqib. This is the translation of interim Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's statement on the state of emergency: "As a result of the escalation of violence and the daily mass killings that have included even children and women -- these crimes which are being committed by criminals and terrorists -- and for the continuous crimes carried out by these individuals trying to derail the efforts of the government; and also as a result of these activities of deliberate destruction of the infrastructure in
Iraq as a part of their plot to derail the process toward the general elections, and since the government has tried all peaceful solutions and carried out all possible connections and communications in order to establish a peaceful solution, we have decided to declare a state of emergency throughout Iraq, except for Kurdistan in the north, for 60 days."
Al-Naqib did not give any details about how the emergency rules would be applied but said they would be announced tomorrow. Asked whether this signaled an imminent attack on Al-Fallujah, the spokesman described the rebel enclave as an obstacle to elections in January. He said all obstacles will be removed by the Iraqi government. The city has been bombarded by U.S.-led forces.
The interim government reserved the right to declare a state of emergency when it introduced the National Safety Law on 7 July. Under the National Safety Law, a state of emergency can only be declared for a period of 60 days, but may be
renewed with the approval of the interim cabinet and presidential council. The declaration of a state of emergency has been expected, as the interim government takes steps to establish security ahead of the January elections. Iraqi media
reported in recent days that the elections have been scheduled for the last week in January.
During the past 24 hours, Iraqi insurgents launched attacks on police installations, using suicide car bombs, mortars, and rocket attacks. High casualties were reported.
At dawn today, insurgents attacked police stations in western Anbar Province, leaving 22 people dead, at least seven of them policemen.

The commitment to technology and innovation in regulatory compliance is a key focus area for 2016 and 2017. The article describes how the FCA's progressive approach to oversight is based on collaboration as opposed to fear. "When it comes to regulation and technology, everyone wants a level playing field," said Mr. Tyfield. "However, the trouble is that a 'level playing field' means different things to different people: banks want regtech to be regulated and regtech thinks reg(ulators) should eliminate barriers to entry." But this is a positive step and a welcoming development, "especially given the technical requirements under Mifid II," adds Tyfield.

International boycott of Pakistan cricket hurting country says fast bowling legend Wasim Akram
The boycott has led Pakistan to host their home series in the United Arab Emirates.
By Arjun Devgan
August 10, 2016 05:59 BST
Legendary fast-bowler Wasim Akram has voiced his sentiments on the continued exile of international cricket in Pakistan, claiming it will affect the growth of cricket in the sub-continent nation. Akram agreed with the concerns of current Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who last week feared for the future of international cricket in Pakistan.
Akram, who took 414 wickets in 104 Tests and 502 scalps in 356 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for Pakistan over a 19-year career, was spotted by former cricketer Javed Miandad and went on to make his national cricket debut at the tender age of 19. Such a situation he said is not feasible now, considering the disconnect between the crowds and the players due to Pakistan playing cricket at the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

My issues with bowling legend Wasim Akram affected Pakistan cricket, says Waqar Younis
Misbah-ul-Haq fears for future of cricket in Pakistan amid international boycott
"It's impossible now. My fourth game was a Test match, and that won't happen now. Javed Miandad saw me, then Imran Khan met me when I went to play for Pakistan and took me under his wing, then Waqar came along and we ruled the world for ten years. But that opportunity is not there for youngsters anymore", Akram told ESPNCricinfo.
Barring Zimbabwe, who visited the country for a brief tour in 2015, Pakistan have not witnessed other national teams land on their shores, with many cricket boards refusing to let their teams play in the country. Over the past years, Akram feels that youngsters are slowly losing interest in cricket as they do not get to watch their heroes and top players in person.
"There's been no cricket in Pakistan for seven or eight years and cricket is struggling in Pakistan in general. Imagine when I was young, I used to go to Lahore's Gadaffi Stadium. They motivated me but for Pakistan's budding cricketers, there's no cricket there. Everything is played in the UAE on bland, placid wickets and nobody is watching cricket there. One-day cricket gets a bit of support, and T20s over three hours, but for Test cricket it is mostly empty stadiums, so it has affected Pakistan cricket big time."
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are in talks to host some part of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at home, but much would depend on whether the big stars would be willing to visit the country. West Indian T20 superstar Andre Russell admitted he would be willing to go, but would be "scared" due to the situation in the country.

Thundercats (2011) Episodes 1 and 2 – A Cold Omen?
To be diplomatic, a word that could be used to describe the reaction to the upcoming ThunderCats Roar is… spirited. For the majority part it is negative in outlook, but like any cartoon final judgment ought to be made once episodes premiere. Another major consequence of this news is the pining for the 2011 iteration of the franchise, cancelled before its story completed, like other unfortunate Cartoon Network shows Sym-Bionic Titan and Beware the Batman (although unlike them, it wasn't written off). Now the outlook on THAT show is the diametric opposite.

The idea of beauty has caused varied and extensive debates over many centuries. Beauty is studied in many scientific fields such as sociology, psychology, and culture. However, for the purpose of our beauty school and the way we deal with and perceive beauty, we decided to remain bound by the confines of our industry and the work of beauticians when addressing the notion of beauty.
A small survey was sent around campus and many students and instructors were able to participate. When it was done, we read and filtered out many answers until we came to the conclusion that most of our beauticians feel that beauty is found in a work well done.
To work in the beauty industry you need to have passion for what you do. For those of you who have finally graduated and are out there looking for jobs, here are a few tips that will help you along the way. First, you need to be persistent. When writing your resume remember to incorporate skills from all aspects of your life because companies are usually interested in learning how you think and what motivates you.
Working at a beauty salon can give you lots of flexibility. Many graduates either start working at a salon as either an employee or as an independent contractor. While working at a salon you are able to socialize with clients which makes work fun and the times passes by easier.
This line of work is very much like working at a salon. However, the clientele can be very different. The clients you will have at a hotel's salon will be guests who are there on vacation or on business. This gives you an opportunity to engage with people from many different places in the world.
It is very common for beauticians who have experienced working at a salon or a Hotel spa to want to open their own salon after a while. Being a salon owner will give you the opportunity to do things your way and offer the services you want to your clients. This can be a very liberating experience.
If the confines of a salon are not something you enjoy, then being a mobile stylist might be exactly what you need. Mobile stylist offer their services on-site. They usually get hired to style at weddings. However, wherever there is a big event, mobile stylist are usually called to beautify the scene.
These are the behind the scenes heroes which make the artists we love look amazing. If you get to be the stylist in a movie you will be surrounded by actors and actresses and will get to style them according to the demands of the scene. Don't forget that working for the television industry can also be very demanding, but it is also fun.
This work is similar to that of a television stylist. The work you'll do will often times be more theatrical and the makeup will need to withstand the strong stage lighting.
As if meeting actors wasn't enough fun, as a fashion industry stylist you will have the opportunity to make models beautiful. Hair and makeup are also a big part of the fashion industry and when those models step into the catwalk, they will be showing off your handy work.

Q: How does my system understand if data got masked? I was trying to understand the difference between encryption and masking
Below statement says that real data replaced and gone!

Masking protects your data by transforming it into a readable format that's useless to anyone who steals it. The actual data is replaced by fictional information. There is no encryption solution to revert the data to its original state. The real data was replaced and is gone forever.

What does it mean? If real data are gone, then how do I use it in my system?
For example:
I might masked EMAILID and my system wants to do some logic based on the email ID, then how do I compare the email ID in code?
Basically, if I am not using the sensitive data, why do I store it in my database in the first place?

A: Data masking occurs just before the data is sent to the client (your program, SSMS, etc).  In that sense, it is "replaced and gone" by the time it gets to a client that is requesting the data to view it (assuming the user accessing the data doesn't have the UNMASK privilege).  Thus, you can perform logic on it in your queries (apply where clauses to it, update it, etc).  But you won't see the real data if you include it in a SELECT statement.
However, the data is still stored on the server unencrypted.  And in fact, you can use this knowledge to figure out exactly what data is in the table - even if you don't have the UNMASK privilege.  See Joe Obbish's great post on that topic here: Dynamic Data Unmasking
The difference between that and something like "Always Encrypted" is that only the encrypted version of the data is stored, and a key must be used to decrypt and use / view the data.

A: Id addition to Josh's reply:
In some cases, it makes sense to store the data as masked. This is in contrast to using the "Dynamic Data Masking" functionality in SQL Server (as described by Josh).
For instance, you export data from a production database into a development database. Some information shouldn't be available to the developers. So we replace a group of numbers in the credit card number series with asterisks before that data arrives to the development server.
It is of course impossible to get to the "real" data on the dev server, since it was never there in the first place - and that was our very purpose!

Three Emperors' Corner (, , ) is a former tripoint at the confluence of the Black and White Przemsza rivers, near the towns of Mysłowice, Sosnowiec and Jaworzno in the present-day Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. During the Partitions of Poland, from 1871 to 1918, it marked the place at which the borders of three empires that had divided Poland – the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary and the German Empire – met.

History
It developed in the aftermath of the Partitions of Poland as a result of the border shifts and regime changes in the 19th century, including the annexation of the Free City of Kraków by the Austrian Empire after the unsuccessful Kraków Uprising in 1846. The left bank of the White Przemsza now belonged to the Austrian Grand Duchy of Cracow (part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy from 1867). While the Upper Silesian right bank of the Black Przemsza had been within the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire since 1335 and passed in 1742 over from Austria to Prussia, the land between the two tributaries was part of Congress Poland, a de facto protectorate of the Russian Empire according to the Final Act of the 1815 Vienna Congress. However, the spot did not become a Three Emperors' Corner until Prussia merged into the newly created German Empire in 1871. It remained as such till the dissolution of all three empires in the aftermath of World War I and the establishment of the Second Polish Republic in 1918.

A less famous tripoint of those three powers had already existed near the village of Niemirów following the 1795 Third Partition of Poland, which ended the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Here the Prussian province of New East Prussia and Austrian West Galicia bordered on Russia. The creation of the Duchy of Warsaw on former Prussian territory by Napoleon I in 1807 erased it, and the Duchy's transformation into Congress Poland and the condominium of Kraków in 1815 led to a more stable tripoint at a new location, which lasted for over a century. The Congress Kingdom of Poland would however lose most of its autonomy after the November Uprising in 1830/31 and the January Uprising in 1863/64, later becoming incorporated as Russian Vistula Land (Privislinsky Krai). Finally, until the creation of the German Empire in 1871, the spot was known as the Three Countries' Corner ().

From 1871 it assumed its most famous name: the Three Emperors' Corner. Until World War I, the tripoint was a popular tourist spot, particularly from the German Empire. Two riverboats toured its vicinity, and in 1907, the German authorities had a -high Bismarck tower erected on the Przemsza shore according to the standard Götterdämmerung design by Wilhelm Kreis. As reported in contemporary newspapers, between 3,000 and 8,000 people visited the spot every week.

The tripoint was abolished with the establishment of the Polish voivodeships of Kraków and Kielce on the former Austro-Hungarian and Russian territory in 1919. The German territory also fell to the Polish Silesian Voivodeship upon the Upper Silesian plebiscite in 1921. Finally, in the place of the corner, there was a border of three Polish voivodeships in the interwar period: Silesian voivodeship (Mysłowice), Kraków voivodeship (Jaworzno) and Kielce voivodeship (Sosnowiec). The Bismarck tower survived for a little over a decade, and was briefly renamed the Freedom Tower, before Silesian voivode Michał Grażyński had it demolished from 1933 onwards; the stones were used to build the Cathedral of Christ the King in Katowice.

Currently located in an industrial area, the tripoint is a minor tourist attraction in Poland. Since 2004, it was marked by a memorial plaque, which—slightly incorrectly—referred to the spot as where three territories annexed in the Partitions of Poland met. A new plaque was amended in 2012.

Between 1774 and 1877, a similar imperial tripoint existed by the city of Novoselytsia on the Prut River: the one between the Austrian (in Bukovina), Russian (in Bessarabia) and Ottoman (in the United Principalities) empires.

/ Mouse study claims plastics pose cancer risk
Mouse study claims plastics pose cancer risk
May 27, 2005 By Roxanne Khamsi This article courtesy of Nature News.
Oestrogen-like compound shown to alter breast development.
A chemical found in plastics may put women exposed to it at greater risk of developing breast cancer, it seems. A study in mice has found that minute doses of the oestrogen-like substance increase breast tissue development, and higher density breast tissue is a risk factor for cancer.
Many hard plastics contain the compound bisphenol A, which can leach into food after heating. The chemical also appears in some dental fillings and the linings of tin cans. Industry began using bisphenol A in the 1950s, but in recent years scientists have documented how it mimics the hormone oestrogen.
Some scientists worry that because oestrogen plays such a crucial role in the development of a fetus's reproductive system and other organs, exposure to bisphenol A in the womb could cause problems. A recent study of mice exposed in this way found that the artificial compound caused abnormally high levels of growth in the male animals' prostate glands1.
Now, another team of researchers has investigated the effects of this chemical on female mice: the results are reported in the journal Endocrinology2.
Sensitive study
" It's the first time someone's showed that prenatal exposure to bisphenol A causes alterations in mammary gland development."
Sohaib Khan
University of Cincinnati, Ohio
The scientists hypothesized that bisphenol A could make breast tissue more sensitive to the effects of oestrogen. So they exposed mouse fetuses to a daily dose of 250 nanograms per kilogram of their body weight, less than 1% the amount deemed safe for humans in the United States.
Four days after birth, the scientists stopped administering the chemical to the mice. They then waited until the animals reached puberty at 30 days of age, and removed their ovaries. This allowed them to deliver the mice's oestrogen themselves, so that they could measure its influence in a controlled way.
The mice exposed to bisphenol A while in the womb developed significantly more tissue in parts of their mammary glands than their control counterparts. The exposed mice had a fourfold increase in gland structures known as terminal end buds, according to Ana Soto, a cell biologist at the Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, who led the study. "This is important because increased [breast tissue] density in humans is an established risk factor for breast cancer," she says.
"It's an important study because it's the first time someone's showed that prenatal exposure to bisphenol A causes alterations in mammary gland development," says Sohaib Khan, a molecular endocrinologist at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has studied the chemical's impact on breast-cancer cells.
Although the findings focus on laboratory animals, they may have implications for people, Soto says.
"We have to be careful in the way we extrapolate," she says. But this research, along with previous studies, leads her to believe that bisphenol A probably increases the risk of breast cancer in humans, she adds.
Soto says that testing the effects of the chemical in humans would be difficult, as the study would have to monitor exposure over 50 years from birth to the age at which breast cancer more commonly occurs.
Lawmakers in California are currently considering legislation that would ban bisphenol A from children's toys. Soto believes that action is needed now. "Do we want to wait those 50 years?" she asks.

DALLAS – Two Dallas police officers were critically wounded in a shooting Tuesday outside a home improvement store, authorities said.
In a tweet about the shooting Tuesday evening, the Dallas Police Department said the officers were critically wounded. During a news conference Tuesday night at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, Hall declined to give an update on their conditions, citing consideration for the privacy of the officers' families.
"We're asking you to continue praying for our officers," Hall said.
Police arrested Armando Luis Juarez, 29, on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer and felony theft. He was taken into custody shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday after a lengthy car chase involving officers of various law enforcement agencies.
"I continue to be upset at the lack of respect of our police in this city and in our country," said Mayor Mike Rawlings, who also attended the hospital news conference.
In 2016, four Dallas police officers and a transit officer were shot dead by a sniper in an ambush that came toward the end of a peaceful protest over the police killings of black men that had occurred in other cities.

On behalf of Law Office of Robert Braverman, LLC posted in Personal Bankruptcy on Tuesday, October 29, 2013.
As the recession slowly comes to an end, many in New Jersey have found that they still owe more on their home mortgages than what the house is worth. In some areas, this is because of overbuilding, a recent report asserts. For others it may be due to unfavorable mortgage terms. However, some homeowners in these situations are seeking an alternative to these terms, including a personal bankruptcy.
In a personal bankruptcy in New Jersey, homeowners can forestall a foreclosure action in most cases. This effort gives people time to renegotiate loans or terms of their mortgages. This effort can also allow people to decide of they need to make other living arrangements due to their inability to pay their home mortgage.
In addition to a home, many find that they are able to retain much of their property during a personal bankruptcy using our state's exemptions. These allow for a limited amount of assets to be protected from a Trustee whose job it is to sell as much as possible to repay debts. This is especially the case for some types of personal bankruptcy such as a Chapter 7.
Filing for a personal bankruptcy can lead many in New jersey to have questions abut the benefits of the process. To make a good decision about the filing, it is often helpful to review a financial situation with an experienced professional who is familiar with the process. This effort can pay off when a foreclosure is avoided or assets are retained and debts are discharged.


Every army has a strategy rating. This value represents the assembles forces' response time, aggressiveness, and the competency of their assigned field commander.
In the strategy phase, at the start of each turn, both armies make an opposed strategy test by rolling a D6 and adding their strategy rating to the score. The army which scores higher can choose to go first or second in the action phase. In the case of a tie, the side that failed to win the initiative last round gets it on this turn.
In the action phase, the armies take turns to carry out actions with their unbroken formations. Each unbroken formation can take one action per turn. The army that won the strategy roll can choose whether to go first or second.
The army going first then carries out an action with one formation, and then their opponent does likewise, and so on until all formations have taken an action. If one side runs out of formations to activate, then the opposing side may keep on activating formations one after the other until all of its formations have taken an action.
Note that both the formation and the action it will carry out must be determined before taking the Action test. Selection a formation without declaring its action before rolling results in an automatic failure due to communications error.
Advance: Make one move, then shoot.
Engage: Make one "charge" move, then begin an assault.
Double: Make two moves, then shoot with a -1 modifier.
Marshal: Either shoot with a -1 modifier or make one move, then regroup. Regrouping can restore morale.
Overwatch: Stay still and enter Overwatch. A formation on overwatch can interrupt an enemy formation's action to shoot it. Requires all units to be in formation.
Sustained Fire: Stay still, do not turn, but shoot with a +1 modifier. Requires all units to be in formation.
Hold: Move, shoot, or regroup. If out of formation, the only option is move. This action is the only one available to formations that fail an action test.
Special: Some formations can carry out special actions, which are detailed elsewhere.
In order to carry out an action, formations must complete an action test. Broken formations cannot attempt actions, but instead make a rally test in the end phase.
To succeed on an action test, the formation must roll under or equal to its command rating on a D6. A successful test means the formation may proceed with the action. Failure, however, means it can only take a Hold action and that the formation gains a point of Shock. There is a -1 modifier on the action test if any unit in the formation is suppressed, and a further -1 modifier if trying to retain the initiative.
An army to have successfully acted with a formation may try to retain the initiative and take two actions in a row. To do so, it repeats the process of selecting an unactivated formation and its action, but that action suffers a -1 modifier on its action test. Once again, this can only be attempted if the first formation was successful in its own action test.
The initiative cannot be retained twice. After resolving the action test for a formation attempting to retain the initiative, it passes to the opponent. The only exception to this is if one army has no formations left to activate. In this case, the opponent may keep on activating formations without suffering the -1 modifier for retaining the initiative until all of the opposing formations have taken an action.
The End phase takes place once both opponents have taken an action with each of their unbroken formations. The armies must attempt to rally any formations and then check the scenario victory conditions to see if either side has won.
Both armies take turns to rally formations that have Shock or that are broken. Rally the formations one at a time, starting with the player with the higher strategy rating. To rally a formation, the controller must make an action test. There is a -2 modifier to the test if the formation is broken, as well as a -1 modifier if enemy units are within 8 tiles of a unit in the formation.
If the test is a failure, broken formations must make a withdrawal, while formations that are unbroken must remain in place but may not remove any Shock.
If the test is successful, remove half the Shock points from the formation, rounding down to a minimum of 1. A broken formation that rallies is no longer broken. It counts as having as many Shock points as units, half of which will be removed for passing the Rally test.

It all goes back to MySpace (for younger readers that was…. oh, never mind) – that's where Bridge 19's frontwomen Audrey Cecil and Amanda Lucas came across each other's music – and soon started working as a duo. They'd actually know each other as kids, but had headed off to different colleges and unbeknownst to each other had taken up songwriting. As their sound grew they expanded from a duo to full band status, and thus Bridge 19 came into being. Bridge 19 has had some band members come an go over the years; the current lineup consists of Cecil on lead guitar and Lucas on rhythm guitar or handheld percussion, Joey Thieman (horns, accordion), Meg Samples (drums), Jeff Faith (bass) has been in place since 2014.

Matthew Mark Luke John Acts Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James 1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude Revelation
Luke Chapter: 11
11:1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
11:2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done as in heaven, so also on earth."
11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread."
11:4 And forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
11:5 And He said to them, "Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;"
11:6 because, a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him';"
11:7 and he will reply from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?"
11:8 I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs."
11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
11:10 Because, everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
11:11 If a son shall ask for bread from anyone of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?"
11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?"
11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
11:14 And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the people marveled.
11:15 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."
11:16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.
11:17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls."
11:18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub."
11:19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges."
11:20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you."
11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace."
11:22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils."
11:23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters."
11:24 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'"
11:25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order."
11:26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."
11:27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which You have sucked!"
11:28 But He said, "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
11:29 And while the people were tightly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet."
11:30 Because, as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation."
11:31 The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
11:32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, because, they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here."
11:33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light."
11:34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is single, your entire body also is full of light. But when your eye is corrupted, your body also is full of darkness."
11:35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness."
11:36 If then your entire body is full of light, having no part dark, the entire body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."
11:37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.
11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.
11:39 Then the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness."
11:40 You fools! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?"
11:41 But rather give charitable deeds of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you."
11:42 "But woe to you Pharisees! Because you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone."
11:43 Woe to you Pharisees! Because, you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces."
11:44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because, you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them."
11:45 Then one of the lawyers responded and said to Him, "Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also."
11:46 And He said, "Woe to you also, you lawyers! Because, you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers."
11:47 Woe to you! Because, you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them."
11:48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; because, they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs."
11:49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,'"
11:50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,"
11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Truly, I say to you, it will be required of this generation."
11:52 "Woe to you lawyers! Because, you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
11:53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to contest Him vehemently, and to provoke Him to speak about many things,
11:54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.

Rome: Empire of the Eagles, 753 BC – AD 476
PLATE 1 ♦ Myth-history. The Low Ham mosaic in Somerset depicts a thousand-year-old myth that has the Roman race founded by the Trojan hero Aeneas, a story immortalised for Roman (and Romanised) audiences by the great Latin poet Virgil.

PLATE 2 ♦ Myth-history. Though the twins, Romulus and Remus, were added in the Renaissance, the 'Capitoline Wolf' is an archaic bronze that reminded contemporary viewers that the Romans were spawn of Mars and sucklings of the She-Wolf.

PLATE 3 ♦ Ceramic, and occasionally bronze, hut-urns were used to inter the cremated remains of Rome's 8th century BC dead. Presumably they show something of the appearance of the wattle-and-daub houses of the living – inhabitants not of a city, but of an Iron Age village.

PLATE 4 ♦ An Italic hoplite of the Early Republican period. Ancient polities were essentially armed bodies of men; military service was the defining duty of the citizen male.

PLATE 5 ♦ Temple of Hera at Paestum. The Greeks had colonised half the Mediterranean, but the city-states of the 5th century BC had morphed into the pawns of kings, dictators and warlords by the 3rd, making them vulnerable to easy Roman conquest.

PLATE 6 ♦ The quinquereme, essentially a muscle-powered ram, was the battleship of the 3rd century BC. To defeat the mercantile empire of Carthage, and win an overseas empire, Rome had to become a naval power.
Source: akg-images Ltd/Peter Connolly
PLATE 7 ♦ Strategic mobility was the key to victory over lightly equipped, fast-moving guerrillas like the Numidians. Roman general Gaius Marius abandoned carts and made his soldiers carry their equipment on their backs: part of the growing professionalisation of the army under the Late Republic.

PLATE 8 ♦ Coin of the Social War rebels. The revolt of Rome's Italian subjects meant a revolt by half her army that could have brought the empire down. The rebels were defeated – but were granted Roman citizenship.

PLATE 9 ♦ Pompey the Great. The Late Republic was dominated by a succession of great warlords whose power eclipsed that of their senatorial colleagues and presaged that of the emperors.

PLATE 10 ♦ Luxuria (the extravagant and conspicuous consumption of wealth) became more socially acceptable among the elite under the Late Republic.

PLATE 11 ♦ The Roman Forum. Late Republicam warlords invested much of their plunder in monumentalising the city – building a downtown symbolic of slaughter and slavery.

PLATE 12 ♦ Cicero. Though a 'new man', he became the leading representative of senatorial reaction in the middle of the 1st century BC, attempting to build a conservative bloc against the popular forces behind politicians like Caesar, Antony and Octavian.

PLATE 13 ♦ Julius Caesar, the greatest politician and general of the Late Republic, and the man who finally destroyed the power of the senatorial aristocracy and inaugurated the regime of the 'new men'.
Source: akg-images Ltd
PLATE 14 ♦ The siege of Alesia, 52 BC, was an apocalyptic climax to Caesar's eight-year conquest of Gaul. The war made Caesar the most powerful player in Roman politics – at a cost of a million dead and a million enslaved.
PLATE 15 ♦ Octavian-Augustus. A murderous civil-war faction leader is transformed into a heroic monarch in all but name by the spin doctors, in-house poets and court artists of the new Augustan regime.

PLATE 16 ♦ Augustus's image-makers portrayed him both as a paternalistic 'father of his country' (wearing a toga) and as a statesman-like commander-in-chief who guaranteed national security and internal order (wearing a cuirass).

PLATE 17 ♦ The Res Gestae – Augustus's political testimony – was inscribed in stone and placed on public view at various places across the empire. Today he would tour the TV studios.

PLATE 18 ♦ The Ara Pacis (Altar of Peace) in Rome is rich in political symbolism. Augustus, Rome's new military dictator, claimed to have 'restored the Republic'. Here, then, to make the point, are Rome's senatorial aristocracy.

PLATE 19 ♦ The Ara Pacis again, but now we see the imperial family, women and children included – the new power of the dynasty and apparently a complement to the old authority of the Senate.
PLATE 20 ♦ Behind a mask of constitutional rectitude was the fist of military power. The Praetorian Guard was stationed in Rome, and, as events in AD 41 proved, it, and not the Senate, was the final arbiter of power.

PLATE 21 ♦ The enemy within. Onto the floor of this room fell the debris – benches, tables, writing implements – of the first-floor scriptorium where the Dead Sea Scrolls were inscribed: a call to revolutionary holy war against the Roman Empire.

PLATE 22 ♦ A Roman base in the Judean Desert outside the Jewish fortress of Masada, where the last of the revolutionaries of AD 66–73 defied the might of Rome. Classical civilisation was sometimes bitterly contested by its victims.
PLATE 23 ♦ Nero the lyre-player had laid out a pleasure park here, but the 'blood and iron' Flavian dynasty preferred an amphitheatre for the games. The Colosseum is Rome's Auschwitz: built for the mass murder of slaves as a form of public entertainment.
PLATE 24 ♦ Hadrian's Wall. For more than half a millennium, Rome had expanded. But the wilderness was unconquerable, and by the early 2nd century AD the frontiers had become permanent.

PLATE 25 ♦ Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens. Built by Hadrian, the temple symbolises the emperor's policy of constructing a commonwealth of the civilised behind the frontier walls he was also raising.

PLATE 26 ♦ The ride turns. The Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome has the form of a traditional victory monument – but this had been a war to eject Germanic invaders after the frontier defences on the upper Danube had collapsed.
PLATE 27 ♦ A return to normality? On the Arch of Septimus Severus at Leptis Magna in Libya, the new emperor, victor in civil war, appears with his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, in a conventional scene. In fact, the developing 'military monarchy' represented a radical break with the past.

PLATE 28 ♦ A victory monument with a difference. The Sassanid emperor (mounted) receives the submission of the captive Roman emperor Valerian (kneeling) on a rock carving at Naqsh-i-Rustarn. Defeats were many in the mid-3rd century AD.

PLATE 29 ♦ The end of the pax Romana. Portchester Castle, a Roman fort on the 'Saxon Shore' – one of many new frontier defences built by the embattled empire of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.
PLATE 30 ♦ Roman towns were also walled by the Late Empire – even as urban life within declined – turning them into the strong points of a developing system of defence-in-depth.
PLATE 31 ♦ A bureaucratic empire. The Notitia Dignitatum of c. AD too, with its titles, lists and badges of office, bears testimony to a bloated centralised state expanding at the expense of civil society.

PLATE 32 ♦ Theodosius the Great, the last emperor of a united empire, whose political authoritarianism and Christian militancy was not enough to reconstruct a viable polity.

Lehigh Valley Phantoms goalie Alex Lyon finished with 94 saves on 95 shots as his team beat the Charlotte Checkers 2-1 in five overtimes, making it the longest game in the 82-year history of the AHL.
Alex Krushelnyski scored 6:48 into the fifth overtime period, giving the Phantoms the Game 4 win of the Calder Cup playoff series between the AHL affiliates of the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes.
Krushelnyski's score came at 1:09 a.m. local time, more than six hours after the game started.
Lyon, 25, who started seven games for the Flyers this season, stopped the last 79 shots he faced while shutting out the Checkers over the final 119:56 of the game.
He said Thursday that he was up early as usual to take a walk and stop for a breakfast sandwich and his morning coffee.
"This morning I'm feeling happy, obviously," Lyon said. "The saves aren't as big a deal to me as us getting the win. To win after basically playing two-and-a-half games is such an emotional ... oh, a relief. The human body wasn't meant to do that."
He went through a range of emotions during the marathon contest. At times Lyon savored the atmosphere, especially the fast pace of regulation and the early part of the first overtime. But the game slowed, and he admitted to getting irrationally frustrated as his teammates struggled to score. He also fought boredom.
"You're standing in the crease for so long," he said, "and you're seeing the same thing over and over again. It really blends together."
Lyon's 94 saves weren't a record, though. The AHL mark for most saves in a game belongs to Michael Leighton, who stopped 98 shots for the Albany River Rats in a 3-2, five-overtime loss to the Phantoms on April 24, 2008.
"Someone rubbed that in my face," Lyon said, laughing. "You think you're in the record book, and you're not."
Lyon said his 94-save feat shouldn't overshadow the work of his teammates.
"I wish I could act like the warrior in this situation, but we had one of our defensemen go down with a knee injury halfway through the first period," he said. "So we were playing with five defensemen [instead of six], which is totally mind-blowing to me.
"At least I can try to recover and take a knee when the puck's down at the other end. Sometimes you go through four or five minutes of a lull where you're standing around. Five defensemen? It doesn't seem like a big deal to maybe a common fan. I'm sure you know it's so much more ice time, just so much more, so that was really impressive."
Charlotte's Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 51 of 53 shots in the loss.
The Checkers' 95-53 advantage in shots on goal included a 54-29 edge during sudden-death overtime.
The game surpassed the previous longest AHL mark, a 2008 first-round meeting between the Philadelphia Phantoms and Albany River Rats. It also was longer than all but three NHL games ever played.
Fortunately for both teams, Game 5 isn't scheduled until Saturday in Charlotte. The Phantoms have a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
