city, Tokyo to (metropolis), Honshu, Japan, on the Tama-gawa (Tama River). The capital of Musashi Province about the 7th century AD, it flourished as a post town and regional commercial and administrative centre. Fuchu declined when it was bypassed by the railway between Tokyo and Tachikawa (1889), but it revived with the arrival of two other railways in the late 1920s and the construction of the Tokyo Race Course in 1933.

Having directed hit comedies like The Hangover trilogy, Old School and Road Trip, Todd Phillips might seem an unlikely choice to helm a gritty and grim origin story for DC’s iconic villain, the Joker. But armed with the ferocious talent of star Joaquin Phoenix and a more dramatic take on the character, Joker is not only one of the best films to feature Batman’s nemesis, it’s one of best films of the last decade.
“I love the complexity of Joker and felt his origin would be worth exploring on film, since nobody’s done that, and even in the canon he has no formalised beginning,” says Todd Phillips. “So, Scott Silver and I wrote a version of a complex and complicated character, and how he might evolve… and then devolve. That is what interested me – not a Joker story, but the story of becoming Joker.”
One of the themes the pair wanted to explore in Joker was empathy and, more importantly, the lack thereof in the world of clown for hire and aspiring stand-up comic Arthur Fleck – aka Joker.
“He starts out just wanting to make people laugh, trying to put a smile on their faces,” says Silver. “That’s why he’s a clown, why he dreams of becoming a stand-up comic. He just wants to bring some joy into the world. But then the toxic environment of Gotham breaks him down – the lack of compassion and empathy, the loss of civility… That’s what creates our Joker.”
Joaquin Phoenix concedes that, even during filming, “There were times when I found myself feeling for him, even feeling like I understood his motivation, and in the next moment I would be repulsed by the decisions he made.
Playing this character was challenging for me as an actor, and I knew he would also challenge the audience and their preconceived ideas about the Joker, because in his fictional world, like in our real world, there are no easy answers.”
“We often talk about the tip of the iceberg, but we rarely speak about what’s underneath – about what gets you there,” adds Phillips. “Arthur is the guy you see on the street who you walk right past… or over. With this movie we’re hoping to get a peek at what’s below the surface.”
Utilising the narrative device of an unreliable narrator that can never be fully believed gave Phillips an enormous amount of freedom when it came to crafting Joker’s backstory.
“He says in the comic book Batman: The Killing Joke, ‘If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.’ So, what really happened, and what you think he is by the end, just depends on the lens through which you watch the movie. You won’t walk away having all the answers and that’s what I think is intriguing about a character like this.”
Phoenix concurs: “There were times when I thought Arthur would enjoy altering his story because of the effect it would have on how someone might feel about him, and there were other times where I thought he’d alter it because it’s what he really believes. Usually with characters that is frustrating, not understanding their motives; but with this character it became liberating, realising it could go in any direction.”
Having resisted genre-inspired projects in the past, the actor was intrigued by Phillips and Silver’s script. “I thought it was bold and complex and like nothing I’d ever read before,” he says. “Todd has a unique way of looking at things that is really perfect, I think, for this movie. When I work with a director, I want somebody who has a singular take on the material, and nobody could have made this movie but Todd.”
And with Oscar buzz gathering momentum, the general consensus is that nobody could have played this incarnation of the Joker but Phoenix. Adept at inhabiting disturbed characters – most notably in The Master and You Were Never Really Here – his performance in Joker is a career best, accentuated by a painful physical emaciation that matches the character’s mental disintegration.
“I wanted the character to look hungry and unhealthy, like a malnourished wolf,” says Phillips.
In many ways, Joker feels more a part of Martin Scorsese’s universe than Batman’s. Robert De Niro’s supporting role notwithstanding, the spirit of Taxi Driver looms large, with Arthur’s gradual descent into madness mirroring Travis Bickle’s own tragic trajectory, just as the film’s squalid version of Gotham City evokes the mean streets of New York City in the 1970s and ‘80s.
Indeed, Phillips says he was inspired by the character studies he watched when he was younger, which included films like Serpico, Network and the aforementioned Scorsese classic.
“The look, the vibe, the tone of those films made sense for this story. We included a few elements from the canon and set it in a broken-down Gotham City around 1981, because that harkens back to that era and would remove it from the comic book world we’re so familiar with in film today.”

Authorities arrest man accused of setting ex-girlfriend’s mobile home on fire
YORK COUNTY — Authorities have arrested the 46-year-old man accused of setting his ex-girlfriend’s mobile home on fire.
Douglas Kesecker was taken into custody Friday evening, according to Newberry Township Police. Manheim Township Police, Northern Regional Police and the U.S. Marshal’s Service assisted with Kesecker’s apprehension.
An arrest warrant was issued on December 10 for Kesecker, who fled the Cassel Road residence in a Chevrolet Equinox minutes before witnesses reported smoke, police said. Surveillance video also showed Kesecker allegedly carrying a red fuel canister around the property.
Officers located Kesecker’s vehicle in the 3400 block of York Haven Road shortly after the fire but when they tried to pull him over, he took off.
Kesecker faces a charge of arson and fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, court documents show. His bail was denied.

Canada drops out of top 10 most developed countries list
The United Nations human development index now ranks Canada as 11th
Canada has slipped out of the top 10 countries listed in the annual United Nation's human development index — a far cry from the 1990s when it held the first place for most of the decade.
The 2013 report, which reviews a country's performance in health, education and income, places Canada in 11th place versus 10th last year.
A closer look at the trends shows Canada actually did better than last year, but other countries such as Japan and Australia improved at a greater rate.
When the numbers are adjusted for gender inequality, Canada slumps to 18th place. The United States fares even worse -- sinking from third to 42nd place.
"I think it's really sad to see that we've dropped so far under the Conservatives," said deputy NDP leader Megan Leslie.
"And I think it reinforces what the NDP has been saying, but also what organizations like the Conference Board of Canada have been saying, about the fact that there's a growing income inequality gap in Canada.
"That gap creates serious problems, and I don't think the Conservatives have been taking it seriously."
The Prime Minister's Office did not respond to a request for comment on the rankings.
Southern nations on rise
The main finding of the report, entitled "The Rise of the South," is a positive one on a global scale. It says that countries that had previously struggled with poverty and inequality are now on a steady developmental climb.
Brazil, China and India's combined gross domestic product is now about equal to the combined GDP of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States."
"When dozens of countries and billions of people move up the development ladder, as they are doing today, it has a direct impact on wealth creation and broader human progress in all countries and regions of the world," says the report.
Even the countries at the bottom of the development list, Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo, are among those who showed the greatest improvement.
'When dozens of countries and billions of people move up the development ladder, as they are doing today, it has a direct impact on wealth creation and broader human progress in all countries and regions of the world.'—United Nations report The Rise of the South
The UN Development Program credits three factors for the developmental gains. It says southern nations are being proactive and pragmatic in developing policies for their private and public sectors. The countries are also tapping into global markets, and investing in social programs.
Maurice Kugler, head of research and analysis for the UN Development Program's report, said the gains in human development do not signify an end to inequalities in these countries. The gap between the rich and poor is stubbornly resilient — Kugler says only in Latin America has it shrunk.
"If inequality persists, that engenders social and political instability, and it's very important to address this issue of inequality to be able to have sustainable human development in the future," said Kugler.
The report goes on to suggest that multilateral, international organizations should be reformed to include better representation from the southern hemisphere.
"If they are to survive, international institutions need to be more representative, transparent and accountable," said the report.
"Indeed, some intergovernmental processes would be invigorated by greater participation from the South, which can bring substantial financial, technological and human resources."

A new community en route to Forney will bring hundreds of new homes.
Houston-based developer Hines purchased the 600+ acre High Point Ranch property on US Highway 80.
The large residential project will be developed in nine phases from the end of this year and the beginning of 2022, according to Hamilton Realty Finance, which arranged the financing for the deal.
Hines has secured more than $ 12.9 million in financing to purchase the property and pay for pre-development costs, according to the lender.
The Forney area, just east of Dallas, has been one of the major new home sales and startup markets in North Texas for the past two years. The communities with some of the highest volume of home purchases are located in Forney.
Developer Hines is best known for its big projects, including the real estate company’s new Victor apartment tower near downtown Dallas and the iconic Dallas Galleria mall on LBJ Freeway.
But the international real estate company has also developed several D-FW residential communities over the past decade.
Hines’ new High Point Ranch development in Forney will be a welcome addition to the D-FW housing market where builders are unable to meet the demand for new homes.
In the first quarter of 2021, North Texas home builders started more than 15,000 single-family homes, a 41% increase from starts the year before.

Delta Dental Insurance, the country's largest dental insurance provider, offers coverage to 62,000 enrollees in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.The company contracts with dentists at approximately 348,000 locations. Delta Dental has been in business for over 50 years, with an "A-Excellent" rating from A.M. Best. Dental insurance that covers implants is available for all ages. It should be checked for pre-requisites in every age group to make sure that the teeth look good and the patient is given proper care to prevent any accident. The medical coverage available with dental insurance that covers implants is also excellent.
Dental savings plans are a better alternative to dental insurance that covers implants, and you can get a dental plan instantly without any waiting periods. In this post, I am going to explain to you why a dental savings plan or dental discount plan is your best option when looking to get dental implant services or have dental implant surgery.
What insurance covers teeth implants. With insurance coverage for dental implants from CarePlus, you can work with a trusted specialist to restore your smile. Total Coverage Unlike other insurances plans, our dental implants insurance covers all three parts of the implant, as well as treatment needed before dental implants, such as extractions. Additionally, dental insurance policies have annual limits, which typically range from $1,000 to $1,500. Even if your dental insurance covers dental implants, you’ll almost certainly reach the policy’s annual limit quickly. Finally, dental insurance companies often limit treatment for pre-existing conditions. If you have dental insurance, you may find it covers the crowns that replace natural teeth in implants. And if you require implants due to an accident, an insurance plan that pays for injuries may include dental implants in its coverage. Speak with your oral surgeon about the extent of the procedure.
Insurance Coverage and Dental Implants. In most cases, with most dental coverage plans, your insurance will not cover dental implants. The stipulation is that there may be a cheaper method for replacing lost teeth. The insurance will likely cover that cheaper method, be it dentures or bridges, but it isn’t likely to cover the dental implants. What it covers: Diagnostic and preventive procedures are covered at 100% while basic and major treatments are covered at 50%. Up to 80% of the cost of basic services are covered with certain plans. Depending on the plan, dental implants can be partly covered, especially if the procedure is medically necessary. Mini implants require the same care as natural teeth because they are a permanent tooth replacement option used with dentures. Unlike traditional dental implants that are replaced individually, mini implants actually involves the process of securing a set of dentures in place, using a mini implant system without screws.
Alternatives to dental implants include partial dentures and bridges, which insurance should cover. Neither bridges nor partial dentures last as long as a dental implant, so it is conceivable that an insurance company could pay twice for such a procedure rather than once for a dental implant. Dental Implant Coverage Restrictions. As insurance companies always have conditions and restriction in their fine print, it’s always best to make sure that your insurance policy covers dental implants.Don’t get caught in a trap thinking that you’re covered for cosmetic dentistry but you find out that it’s an exclusion to your policy. Dental implants are more important than simply a case of missing teeth. They strengthen and maintain bone structure, give patients the confidence to smile, and make it possible for them to chew solid food. Another underestimated value of dental implants is that they preserve bone mass and structure.
Best Insurance for Dental Implants. Insurance For Dental Implants; Dental Insurance for Dental Implants; Cost of Dental Implants With Insurance; Tooth implants are a costly investment and often exceed an individual’s budget. Generally the dental implant cost is about $1,000 per tooth. If you are currently covered by a dental plan, it is more than likely that dental implants will not be covered. If you’re thinking about getting a surgery for dental implants, you need to make absolutely sure that your insurance policy will cover the cost of the surgery, otherwise you will have to pay for the full amount yourself, and these surgeries aren’t cheap. Most dental insurance plans, nearly all in fact, don’t cover elective surgeries for procedures like implants. If your dental insurance policy covers dental implants, it is better to check the maximum allowable benefit before giving your dentist a go-signal. Most plans are only intended to cover basic care, emergencies, and maintenance, and for that reason, providers set an allowable benefit of $1000 – $5000 per year.
Consult an OMS: Anyone considering dental implants should consult with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Contact Insurance: Reach out to both medical and dental insurance plans to determine whether they cover dental implant surgery. Develop a Budget: Dental implants are a lifetime solution to missing teeth (edentulism), so their value cannot. Dental implants can be thousands of dollars. We highlight the best dental insurance companies for implants based on price, coverage, caps, and more. Getting your medical insurance to cover some of your dental implant costs could make replacing your teeth much more affordable. Many people do not have dental insurance, or their plan does not cover implants, or annual maximums leave thousands of dollars in unreimbursed expenses.
Dental implants provide a base for replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth. Dental implants have improved over the years and computer technology is being introduced. This is a privately paid for procedure. Although not cheap, the benefits of having your own teeth again is making this procedure increasingly popular. Implants that replace missing teeth can help maintain the structure of your jawbone, as well as keep your other teeth from shifting. Because implants are a long-term solution to tooth loss, this investment into your oral health will be more than worthwhile. But you don’t have to pay for it all out of pocket, as long as you have the right. Insurance helps lower the cost of implants Is it possible to find dental insurance that covers implants? The answer is yes, but the search isn't always easy. There are certain insurance companies that offer plans with implant coverage, such as Cigna, Delta, and others, but these plans also often come with high deductibles or limits and exclusions that leave the consumer with a hefty price to pay.
Dental Implant Insurance for Existing Teeth. Patients with unhealthy teeth still in their mouth have the best chance of getting individual dental insurance to pay for cosmetic procedures such as implants, dentures, crowns, bridges, and veneers. The missing tooth exclusion does not apply, making it possible to make the treatments much more. Looking for dental implant insurance that won’t break the bank? Dental implant insurance plans with no waiting periods and annual maximum coverage up to $3500. Instant online quotes for Dental Implant coverage – get quote from multiple companies so you know you’re getting the best deal for your money. Dental Implant Insurance plans start as low as $18.99 a month to fit anybody’s budget. Finding dental insurance that covers dental implants is challenging. This procedure is classified as cosmetic dentistry, which a lot of dental insurance plans will not cover. Below, learn more about dental implants, tooth implant cost with and without dental insurance and discover a dental implant insurance alternative that can help you save money.
The second most common question we get asked is if private health insurance helps. The answer is: Maybe. Everyone has a different level of coverage, but if your plan covers implants or, in many cases, major dental, insurance often covers a portion of the treatment cost.

The outgoing president said that “we have just been through an intense election and emotions are high, but now tempers must be cooled and calm restored.” His comments came a day after he told a massive crowd of supporters in Washington, which then stormed the U.S. Capitol, that he would “never concede” the election.
The crowd marched at Mr. Trump ’s urging to the Capitol, where thousands fought with police, stormed the building and forced their way in to stop lawmakers from counting the Electoral College results. Mr. Trump did not accept any responsibility for the episode, although his former attorney general has blamed him for inciting a mob.
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump, in a video message posted to social media, told supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in a chaotic protest aimed at thwarting a peaceful transfer of power to “go home” but kept up false election attacks and called backers “very special.” “After initially blocking any retweets, replies, likes or quote tweets, Twitter went on to remove the video altogether and locked Trump's account for 12 hours and said his account could be permanently suspended if there were other violations. The same video was posted to Facebook but was later removed by the company.
Facebook later announced it had placed a 24-hour block on Trump's page for “policy violations.” “We removed a video posted this afternoon to DonaldTrump's channel that violated our policies regarding content that alleges widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Election,” Far shad Shad loo, Head of Policy Communications, said.
The video was posted after President-elect Joe Biden called the violent protests “an assault on the most sacred of American undertakings: the doing of the people's business. Trump had urged his supporters to come to Washington to protest Congress's formal approval of Biden's win.
Several Republican lawmakers backed his calls, despite there being no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing in the election. Other Republican lawmakers and previous administration officials had begged Trump to give a statement to his supporters to quell the violence.
But Mr Trump also continued to promote his claims the election, won by Joe Biden, was “stolen” in the video, and added the protesters were “very special”. Mr Trump ’s claims of electoral fraud have been dismissed by independent observers and a number of legal challenges launched by his campaign were unsuccessful.
The Verge reported that while Mr Trump ’s video will be removed, other channels will be able to feature it in an “educational” or informative context. YouTube introduced a new context policy in December forbidding content that alleges voter raise without evidence in the wake of the US election.

In the wake of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, ABC News’ Kyra Phillips reports on multiple cases where President Donald Trump ’s words have been cited in acts of violence. Facebook and Twitter moved to suspend President Trump's accounts after the violence at the U.S. Capitol this week.
ABC News contributor discuss what led to the companies' decisions and what's next. Democrats said that President Donald Trump should be impeached for “inciting sedition” Wednesday and some Republicans in Congress are privately discussing his removal, according to sources.
President Trump has suggested to advisers that he wants to grant himself a pardon before leaving office, sources familiar with the discussions told ABC News. Some members of the Cabinet are considering invoking the 25th Amendment after the president’s refusal to call in the National Guard during Wednesday’s riots, sources told ABC News.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president following Wednesday's rioting at the Capitol. “If we're not going to use the 25th Amendment ... than I'm not clear what it's really for,” the Delaware senator said in reaction to the events that unfolded at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday.
Tom Pennington/Getty Images President Trump for the first time acknowledged a new administration would take over on Jan. 20 in a video released Thursday evening. The video comes after lawmakers called for invoking the 25th amendment and removing him from office, following the assault Wednesday by his supporters on the U.S. Capitol that left four civilians dead.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and at least one Republican led calls for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Mr. Trump from office. “The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden,” Zuckerberg said.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said she would be resigning effective Monday, saying what unfolded on Wednesday has “deeply troubled me in a way I simply cannot set aside.” A senior administration official earlier told CBS News that the D.C. National Guard was activated on Wednesday after Pence contacted Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Miller and acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller.
Donald Trump has been accused of lying about his response to Wednesday's riots after he claimed that he had called up the National Guard to quell the unrest, when it was widely reported to have been Mike Pence who took control. After more than 24 hours of public silence since his supporters stormed the Capitol, Trump released a short video where he blasted the 'heinous' attack and called for national 'healing' and an 'orderly' and 'seamless' transition to a new administration.
'I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. CNN, NBC, The New York Times and others all reported that it was Pence, not Trump, who spoke to the Pentagon and called up the Guard.
Kaitlin Collins, CNN's White House correspondent, tweeted: Trump did not immediately deploy the National Guard yesterday, as he claims in his video. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, member of the House representing New York, pointed to the Pentagon's statement about the deployment, which did not mention Trump but did say they had been in contact with Pence.
Protester Ash Rabbit, a 35-year-old Air Force veteran, was named Wednesday as the first casualty after being shot dead by an officer. The three other Trump fanatics who died were named Thursday as Benjamin Phillips, 50; Kevin Gleeson, 55; and Roseanne Boy land, 34.
Brian Sick nick, pictured, was named last night as the officer who died in the mob attack on the US Congress on Wednesday Sic nick collapsed in his division office on Wednesday and was hospitalized on life support before passing away at about 9.30pm Thursday, USCG said in a statement.
The force's union Chairman Gus Papathanasiou told WUSA9 that Sick nick suffered a stroke during the riots while the New York Times reported that he was also hit by the fire extinguisher. It is not known where in the Capitol Sick nick was stationed as hundreds of Trump loyalists violently forced their way into the building in a bid to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's election victory.
Trump's speech, despite his lie about the National Guard, marked an astonishing change of tone which came minutes after it was revealed that a cop had died after defending the Capitol from the MAGA mob. He tweeted the video after being banned from Twitter for dangerous rhetoric and as he faced new calls for his impeachment and for Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.
His press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, issued a brief statement about the situation at the Capitol about two hours earlier, speaking for only a few minutes and not taking questions. Flight information indicated he had nixed a possible weekend trip to Camp David that would have taken him out of Washington amid the turmoil.
Another push came in an editorial in the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal amid a flood of Democratic impeachment calls. 'If Mr. Trump wants to avoid a second impeachment, his best path would be to take personal responsibility and resign,' said the editorial.
Even on Thursday, Biden's nominee of Merrick Garland to be attorney general got overshadowed by blow back from the mayhem in the Capitol. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders.
America is and must always be a nation of law and order, the demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy. My campaign vigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results, my only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote.
The mayor of Washington has put the city on an alert footing through inauguration, Capitol police are expanding the security perimeter around the Capitol to prepare for inauguration, and some officials are warning of more potential mayhem from Trump's supporters, after the president's drumbeat of claims the election was 'rigged' and 'stolen' from him. 'This moment calls for healing and reconciliation,' said Trump, who spent using his tweeter feed to attack his political rivals.
It will require a renewed emphasis on the civic values of patriotism, faith, charity community and family,' said Trump. Pelosi applied pressure to Vice President Mike Pence and urged him to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
Special Envoy for Northern Ireland and former OMB Director and White House Chief of Staff Mick Juliana 'What we saw yesterday was a group of violent rioters undermining the legitimate first amendment rights of the many thousands who came to peacefully have their voices heard, in our nation's capital,' McEnany said in condemning the siege of the Capitol building by pro- Trump demonstrators.
'Speaker Pelosi and I tried to call the vice president this morning to tell him to do this,' Schumer told reporters in New York Thursday. She used stark language beyond even the tough talk of impeachment in last December and January, accusing him of crimes against the nation he leads.
'In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,' said Pelosi. Unlike 2019 and 2020 she has just days to force through an impeachment, but this time has a far greater chance that 12 Republican senators join the Democrats to convict after some openly expressed disgust for the president or his actions.
They mention his Jan. 2 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where he asked the official to 'find' 11,780 votes that would give him victory. Biden made the statement at the top of his announcement of his nominee for attorney general, explaining he wants to 'focus on the ideas today' instead.
Sen. Tim Scott stops to look at damage in the early morning hours of Thursday after protesters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution deals with presidential authority in the event of death or removal from office, and was ratified in 1967, in the wake of John F Kennedy's assassination.
Or another possibility is that the pool of 'principal officers' is considered to be bigger than the 15 and a majority of that group call Trump incapable. If either of both chambers fell short of that mark, Trump would retain his powers and likely embark on a wholesale housecleaning, firing Pence and replacing disloyal Cabinet members.
That commission could hypothetically include anyone from presidential historians to psychiatrists, entrusted to assess the president's fitness for office. In some departments' legislation appears to name not just the secretary but deputies and even undersecretaries as 'principal officers', so many more people could be called in to the assessment of Trump's fitness.
But installing a more loyal VP could be problematic since the 25th Amendment includes its own poison pill: Both houses of Congress must vote to approve a new vice president. Theoretically, a Democratic-controlled Congress could make life dramatically more difficult for the president if it came into power in the midst of the constitutional crisis.
One scenario has appeared to stump presidential historians, however: Firing Pence before the process is underway, and then leaving the vice presidency vacant, would give Congress no practical way forward. In December 1978, President Jimmy Carter thought about invoking Section III when he was contemplating a surgical procedure to remove hemorrhoids.
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush both voluntarily relinquished their powers while undergoing procedures under anesthetic. The PBS documentary 'American Experience' recounts how Baker and his team watched Reagan closely for signs of incapacity during their first meeting and decided he was in perfect command of himself.
Several Trump cabinet members serve on an 'acting' basis and have not been confirmed by the Senate, lowering the number from the threshold of 16 department heads who would take part in a 25th Amendment scenario. Half the cabinet would have to vote, and Pence would then submit information to the Congress, making him acting president while other processes go forward.
Former White House acting chief of staff Mick Juliana quit his diplomatic post in protest of the effort to 'overtake the government.' 'I can't do it,' said Juliana, who called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, another former House Republican, to convey his views.
I can't stay,' he said, relinquishing his post as special U.S. envoy to Northern Ireland in the final weeks of the Trump Administration. Agriculture secretary Sonny Purdue said he was not quitting and had not discussed the 25th Amendment with Pence or anyone else, CNN reported.
Thousands of DonaldTrump's most fervent supporters descended on Capitol Hill Wednesday to protest the results of the presidential election and obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory These violent actions are unconscionable, and I implore the President and all elected officials to strongly condemn the violence that took place yesterday,' Wolf said.
Supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol on Wednesday amid questions over how they breached security so easily A woman was shot in the chest on Wednesday afternoon after chaotic scenes broke out when dozens of Trump supporters breached security perimeters at the Capitol.
The siege brought a hours-long halt to what is usually the solemn democratic ritual of putting a final seal on the election result. When lawmakers eventually returned to their chambers, the Republicans trying to resist Biden's victory found that their numbers had dwindled, and all of their objections were voted down.
The spectacle of a violent gang rampaging through the legislature trying to overturn an election result prompted outrage and anguish from America's fellow democracies, with Britain's Boris Johnson condemning the 'disgraceful scenes' and Germany's Angela Merkel saying she was 'furious and saddened' by the chaos. It was also seized on by America's authoritarian rivals to mock the state of US democracy, with Iran calling it 'fragile and vulnerable' and Russia saying that the election system 'does not meet modern democratic standards'.
The president was banished from Twitter for 12 hours Wednesday due to violating the company's rules meaning he could not vent on his favorite medium. The ban was due to expire at 5am Thursday morning, but there was no immediate word on whether Trump's access had been restored.
Protesters broke windows to gain access to the Capitol as lawmakers were whisked to safety on Wednesday afternoon America's authoritarian rivals have delighted in the chaos at the Capitol, with Iran reveling in the 'fragility of Western democracy' and Venezuela mimicking the kind of criticism it usually receives from Washington.
'The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meet modern democratic standards, creating opportunities for numerous violations, and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle,' Sakharov said. And in Venezuela, parodying the kind of statements that usually come from Washington, authorities expressed 'concern' about the violence while calling for the US follow a path of 'stability' and 'social justice'.
Although Trump still refuses to accept he lost the election, his early-morning statement was the first time he had fully acknowledged that he will be leaving the White House on January 20. The president has spent the last two months refusing to concede and lobbing baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, even though his own Justice Department, federal courts and state governments have said repeatedly the vote was carried out freely and fairly.
Twitter has suspended DonaldTrump's account for 12 hours and for the first time deleted his tweets after he praised the mob who stormed Congress and said he 'loved' them. 'As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy,' the social media company said.
The vice president, who chaired the special joint session as provided under the Constitution, called it a 'dark day in the history of the United States Capitol.' 'But thanks to the swift efforts of the U.S. Capitol Police, federal, state and local law enforcement, the violence was quelled.
The most senior was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who claimed that persisting was proof that Congress was not cowed by violence. 'We may not disagree on a lot in America but tonight, we must show the world that we will respectfully, but thoroughly carry out the most basic duties of democracy, we will continue with the task that we have been sent here to do.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gaveled his request down, later explaining that he wasn't quick enough, saying it needed to happen 'exactly when the words are spoken.' Nearby, a scuffle among lawmakers nearly broke out involving Rep. Andy Harris, a Maryland Republican, and Rep. Colin Allied, a Texas Democrat, according to Capitol Hill reporters.
As 2 am neared, Rep Conor Lamb (pictured), a Pennsylvania Democrat who represents the Pittsburgh area, unloaded on the Republicans who objected to the vote from his state Speaker Nancy Pelosi reopened the House of Representatives Wednesday night with a vow to stay as long as it takes to certify the election and Joe Biden's victory.
'We know that we're in difficult times, but little could we have imagined the assault, that was made on our democracy,' she said in reference to the pro- Trump insurgents who tried to stop the Joint Session. Shortly before all House members were evacuated around 2.30pm, Capitol Police approached Pelosi, who was presiding over the chamber from the speaker's rostrum, telling her she had to leave.
Pelosi didn't make a fuss and turned over her duties to House Rules Chairman Jim McGovern. Some Republican senators backed down from the original plan to object after pro- Trump insurgents rushed the Capitol.
But House Republican Leader McCarthy said it was lawmakers' duty to conduct 'healthy debate' and to hear 'valid concerns about election integrity.' We may not disagree on a lot in America but tonight, we must show the world that we will respectfully, but thoroughly carry out the most basic duties of democracy, we will continue with the task that we have been sent here to do.
Among Republicans bailing on the plan to contest the results was Sen. James Lank ford of Oklahoma, known as an institutionalism before he signed onto the effort by Sen. Ted Cruz Among Republicans bailing on the plan to contest the results was Sen. James Lank ford of Oklahoma, known as an institutionalism before he signed onto the effort by Sen. Ted Cruz.
'Why in god's name would someone think attacking law enforcement occupying United States Capitol is the best way to show that you're right? Lank ford had been on the Senate floor defending the opposition to votes in states Biden won when officials evacuated the chamber and locked down the Capitol.
Georgia Republican Sen. Kelly Offer, who lost her race in the early hours Wednesday to Democratic Rev. 'Obviously the commission that we've asked for is not going to happen at this point and I understand that, and we're headed towards tonight towards the certification of Joe Biden to be the President of the United States,' he said.
'Having a commission chosen by Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell and John Roberts is not going to get you to where you want to go, it ain't going to work,' Graham said. Georgia Republican Sen. Kelly Offer, who lost her race in the early hours Wednesday to Democratic Rev.
The newly minted Sen. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, who had joined Sen. Ted Cruz's 'dirty dozen,' seemed to still back the effort in his debut floor speech. Marshall said he backed the creation of an electoral commission to give states to constructive suggestions' going forward, due to the 'jarring irregularities' he claimed took place in the 2020 race.
It's unclear if Marshall would back additional challenges in states going forward, as the Senate's discussion was only focused on Electoral College votes in Arizona. Republican Congressman Thomas Reed announced he is against the GOP objections to the certification, earning a round of applause from Democrats.
Reed walked to the Democratic side of the House to speak about his opposition, citing the day's violence in the Capitol as the reason. Gaeta cited the conservative newspaper The Washington Times when he spoke on the House floor to defend Republican objections to the electoral college votes in some states won by Biden.
'The Washington Times has just reported, some pretty compelling evidence from a facial recognition company, showing that some people who breached the Capitol today, were not Trump supporters, they were masquerading as Trump supporters, and in fact, we're members of the violet terrorist group Antifa,' he said as Democrats loudly booed him. Gaeta, a frequent guest at Trump's Florida residence Mar-A-Lago, also defended the president, who was criticized by many, including members of the Republican Party, for his lackluster response to the riots.
He had initially encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol after a rally earlier in the afternoon before asking them only to remain peaceful when violence broke out. Anyone inside a building at the Capitol complex was instructed to take cover in an office with doors locked.
But just before 8pm lawmakers who had been whisked to safety when the siege kicked off began arriving back at the Capitol to resume the Joint Session to certify the Electoral College count of the presidential election. A spokesperson for Vice President Mike Pence, who is residing over the Joint Session, said he was already in the building because he'd never left.
The chaotic scenes unfolded soon after Trump addressed thousands of his supporters and urged them to march to the Capitol. The protesters organized via far-right social media sites, including Gab and Parker, telling each other the best routes to avoid police on their way to the Capitol.
Minutes after Biden's address, Trump posted his own video telling his mob of supporters that he 'loves' them, but to 'go home'. The president then posted another tweet reiterating his false claim that the election was stolen and encouraging supporters to 'remember this day'.
'These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,' he tweeted. Capitol Police used tear gas as hundreds of people were seen climbing the marble steps outside the building.
Donald Trump told his mob of supporters that he 'loves' them, but to 'go home' after they rampaged past police barriers to storm the U.S. Capitol. But despite calling for his supporters to stand down, he continued to peddle the baseless claims that the 'election was stolen' in a video posted to Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
One video posted on TikTok appeared to show a group of about four officers standing by as protesters pushed past a barricade near the Capitol building. The chaos caused the Capitol to go on lockdown and disrupted the certification of the electoral college vote that would cement Biden's victory.
Meanwhile, the president continued to direct his rage at Pence, who earlier announced he would not single-handedly overturn the election results from his position of the chair. Protesters have routinely disrupted televised hearings while in progress and even events inside the House chamber.
There were occasions after September 11th when the building was placed on lockdown and people were ordered to leave, but this usually happened when suspicious packages were discovered. When the building is open, as it was before the pandemic, members of the public are not allowed to walk escorted on the second floor where lawmakers enter and exit the legislative chambers.
Police deploy a stream of tear gas a protester occupying the Capitol grounds on Wednesday Protesters swarmed into the Kansas statehouse in Topeka and gathered inside the first floor of the Capitol Rotunda, though the rally remained orderly, television station Kant reported.
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said on Twitter that he had instructed city agencies to close municipal offices early in Colorado's state capital 'out of an abundance of caution' after about 700 demonstrators gathered at the statehouse downtown. A major courthouse complex and two other government buildings in Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, were also ordered closed due to protests near the statehouse.
Among those whose daily routines were altered were aides to Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, the Republican election official pressured by Trump in a weekend telephone call to 'find' enough additional votes for the president to overturn the November victory of President-elect Joe Biden, due to take office in two weeks. Raffensperger's spokesman, Walter Jones, said staff left their offices after lunch out of an abundance of caution because of protests.
A Utah state police spokesman said security had been beefed up at the Capitol, though he said protesters there were 'very peaceful,' the Tribune reported. Several hundred Trump supporters also staged a 'Stop the Steal' rally at the Arizona state Capitol in Phoenix, cheering and jeering while exhibiting a guillotine.
Trump has tried to put the blame on Pence for his expected loss on Wednesday but the president also lacks support among the majority of senators in his own party, which dooms his efforts for a congressional overthrow of the results. Pence acknowledged Trump's allegations the election was rigged, of which there has been no proof and no court has upheld, in a likely peace offering to the president.
In a letter Wednesday, Pence said, 'It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution contains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not' 'As a student of history who loves the constitution and reveres its Framers, I do not believe that the Founds of our country intended to invest the vice president with unilateral authority to decide which electoral votes should be counted during the Joint Session of Congress and no Vice President in American history has ever asserted such authority,' Pence noted.
He added vice presidents in the past have conducted 'the proceedings in an orderly manner even where the count resulted in the defeat of their party or their own candidacy'. 'It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,' he said.
He concluded his letter with a prayer to God: 'When the Joint Session of Congress convenes today, I will do my duty to see to it that we open the certificates of electors of the several states, we hear objections raised by Senators and Representatives, and we count the votes of the Electoral College for President and Vice President in a manner consistent with our Constitution, laws and history. Pelosi reminded lawmakers that only 11 members from each party were allowed on the House floor at a time due to social distancing.
Democrats said we don't care what the law says they went to a court got an Obama appointed judge to extend in 18 days,' Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, a top Trump ally on Capitol Hill, complained of Arizona When the certification process got underway shortly after 1pm Wednesday, lawmakers got through Alabama and Alaska, two states that went for Trump, before the first objection was filed for Arizona.
Rep. Paul Goal, an Arizona Republican, objected to his state's Electoral College votes going to Biden and Harris. On the House side, during their debate on the Arizona objection, Republican lawmakers used their time to complain about the treatment of the president, particularly the impeachment process and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Democrats said we don't care what the law says they went to a court got an Obama appointed judge to extend in 18 days,' Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, a top Trump ally on Capitol Hill, complained of Arizona. 'Under some of the most trying circumstances in our history, our fellow citizens conducted a free and fair election vindicating our founders belief once again that we were capable of self-government, and a peaceful transition of power,' Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff said.
'We're debating a step that has never been taken in American history, whether Congress should overrule the voters and overturn a presidential election,' he said on the Senate floor, after Rep Goal and a batch of GOP senators, including Sen Ted Cruz, objected to Arizona's Electoral College vote count. McConnell ridiculed Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud in a five-minute speech, which will be one of his last as majority leader, and which he said was about the most important vote of his career.
Trump mocked his party's 2012 Republican presidential nominee, now-Sen. Mitt Romney, for conceded his own race back then. Trump's comments amounted to a declaration of war on elements of his party, after his lawyer Rudy Giuliani demanded 'trial by combat' against opponents of his claims of election fraud.
A stand was being erected at the base of the US Capitol as a pro- Trump supporter holds a flag, hours before Congress meets to certify the electoral college vote for Biden 'We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,' he said, speaking from behind a pane of bullet-proof material.
Trump acknowledged that he has tried to pressure Pence into rejecting votes from states he lost, quoting from a conversation he has denied happened.

Nice touch on the subtle embossed text.
almost 2 years ago
Looks nice. Although i'm kind of torn between the current and this one. I like the black leatherback binding....
Looks hot. This has also reminded me to give this app a go again.
Looks great. Ship it!
I like this one better :)
nice. like the lower profile.
wondering if the ribbon feels a bit big?
Looks great. (I miss the tidbit of black leather) Maybe show a touch of a back cover at the bottom?
Very crisp, refreshing. Love it!
Liking the symmetry of it. The paper looks a little like stacked sheets of aluminium because of the gradient though...
I'd love it if I weren't already so attached to the old icon. I'll really miss the leather binding if you move to this one.
Thanks for the feedback guys. By the way, this was created entirely in Fireworks.
One of my favorite apps. I love the new take on the icon.
I love this app. Keep up the great work.
yeah, great app and memorable icon. nice work!

Yoga Increases Healthy Brain Marker
The researchers used brain imaging scans (CT) to measure the cortical thickness of 42 Brazilian women older than 59. Twenty-one of the subjects had practiced hatha yoga regularly for at least eight years. These women were compared to 21 other women matched for age and education who engaged in other physical activity comparable to hatha yoga.
The researchers found that the cortical thickness in the yoga practitioners was significantly greater in the left prefrontal lobe of the brain. This portion of brain gray matter is linked to awareness, attention, executive function and memory, suggesting that hatha yoga practice may be associated with cognitive preservation.
The scientists added, “The present results parallel those previously reported in which younger yoga and meditation practitioners had greater gray matter volumes than non-practitioners compared to non-practitioners in the following brain regions: larger gray matter volume in the right anterior insula and right inferior temporal gyrus.”

Historic and bucolic scenes from the Tri-State area taken by Kaplan University students will be on display at the Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery Inc. at 4 West Franklin St. through the end of January.
While the works are for sale, one of the photographers said what he learned will be useful in his career.
“I can’t put a price on what I learned in digital photography,” Bill Shatzer of Sharpsburg, a graphic design student, said Friday at a reception opening the exhibit. “Whenever you’re doing web pages or any other design, it’s nice to be able to use your own photographs.”
The photos were taken during class trips to Harpers Ferry, W.Va., Antietam National Battlefield near Sharpsburg, and Gettysburg, Pa., Shatzer said.
“For our program specifically, we like to teach the career end of it,” said Cookie Redding, a graphic design professor at Kaplan.
“To take your own strong, composed shots, it will actually help your graphic design, because you can do your own images instead of using stock photos,” Redding said. “It makes you more versatile.”
“I’ve had an interest in photography since I was a little girl,” said Jennifer Toney of Hagerstown, an information technology student at Kaplan.
Toney said she learned much about how to compose a photograph in Redding’s class.
“I learned how to better frame the photos ... and use angles to give it a better composition,” Toney said. She pointed out a Civil War era home she photographed and how she used autumn foliage in the foreground and background to enhance the image.
A couple of the photos were sold within a few minutes of the opening of the reception, said Ron Lytle, the executive director of the Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery. The photos are already framed and matted and are reasonably priced, he said.
The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

The British Blind Sport Archery Section as it is today was not set up as easily as some people may think. To help paint a clearer picture here is a short history of the BBS Archery Section.
Archery for the Visually Impaired has been around since the early 1970's.
During the earlier years of V.I. Archery there were a few obstacles to overcome as it is not as simple as just picking up a bow and starting to shoot. How was anyone going to aim at the target?
One of the first tactile sighting devices consisted of a drip stand that someone acquired from a local hospital and fitted a cross piece on the top with bristles at the end. The hand holding the bow rested against these bristles and that was a good enough guide. This method called “the back of the hand” method is the most widely used aiming method, but the stands have improved, with most people using tripods with extending centre poles and top sections with fine adjustment, both up and down and left and right. In the beginning these stands were not personalized and many archers shared a stand with another archer and had to shoot one after the other.
Around 1977 and for many years following there were not many others shooting outside of St Dunstans in England and only one V.I. Archer in Wales but during the 1980’s a few clubs around the country started archery for their V.I. members.
In 1985 a group of V.I. archers got together and met with the Chairman of G.N.A.S. in Birmingham and formulated some rules for V.I. Archery. This meant that V.I. archery could be included in able-bodied archery events and shoot alongside them, without causing the organizers any extra problems. From this meeting the B.B.S. Archery Sub-Committee was formed and our first meeting was held in Blackpool where Roger Rees-Evans was elected Chairman, with Joe Prendergast elected as Secretary and Development Officer and for many years Joe went around the country demonstrating and talking about V.I. archery. He helped develop the Coventry Club and was instrumental in getting the clubs in the North East started. Sadly during the mid 1990’s Joe passed away.
Archery is a very expensive sport without the added expense of providing tactile aiming devices. Many people have copied the tactile sight and perfected it over the years and in 1994 a Technical College in South Wales made a couple of different stands with the help of some of the Welsh V.I. archers.
So before any V.I. archer decides to take up this sport they must have someone to help them every time they shoot and they must be prepared to pay out extra monies on additional equipment.
There is a second tactile method of shooting which is called “the long rod” method. This entails the same type of stand, but instead of using the back of the bow hand to sight you use the stabilizer that extends from the front of the bow. This fits up into a “U” shape extending from the stand and this gives you your aiming point. A few V.I. archers use this method and find it more comfortable and less constraining.
In the early 90’s the French developed the IRIS sighting device. This is an electronic device. You have a sender on the bottom of the target with a receiver on the bow. The receiver is connected to a battery pack and the archer has headphones so that he/she can hear a signal that is being received. The higher the pitch the nearer the centre of the target the person is aiming at. There are a lot of wires involved for the archer, but no stands to be stuck to. Coaches have said this is the best method of shooting as a V.I. archer can be coached in a similar way any able bodied archer with a sighting device on his bow and not fixed to the ground. The problem is the IRIS costs around £1,500.00.
Several of these were tried out in this country, but it was found that due to them only working over short distances and the amount of time it took to achieve an accurate aiming point, they were abandoned as a serious sighting method. They are still in use in France to this day. Also a laser device has been developed, but this has not been used extensively and the cost at over £3,000.00 is prohibitive to most V.I. archers.
Several invitation archery competitions for V.I. archers were held during the 1980’s, but the first truly national championships specific for V.I. archers was organised in Neath, South Wales in 1990 and they were held in South Wales for the next few years. In 1997 the V.I. Archers held their Championships in conjunction with the B.B.S. 21st anniversary festival of sport in Nottingham. This event also saw the first international competition in the U.K. for V.I. archers, where a team from France was invited to shoot against archers from the U.K. In 1998 the National Championships was held in Newcastle Upon Tyne. From 1999 a decision was made that the Championships would be moved to the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall, Newport, Shropshire which can provide full archery facilities and accommodation for those wishing to stay.
In 2000 it was decided that we would hold an Indoor Championships. St Dunstans hosted the first two competitions. In 2002 the Championships were held in Stafford and then in 2003 it was agreed that we would also move these Championships to Lilleshall Sports Centre.
Since 1977 V.I. archers have competed at the B.S.A.D. (British Sports Association for the Disabled), now known as Disability Sport England Championships, for all disabilities, shooting at 50 and 30 metres, but it is only in the last couple of years that V.I. archers have been able to compete on the same basis as their wheelchair counterparts. The introduction of the Burntwood equivalent round means that V.I. archers can now shoot the full FITA and longer Imperial rounds using the Burntwood equivalent. This round simulates distance by the use of different sized faces. The target is permanently set at 30 metres and therefore the V.I. archer doesn't need to adjust his tactile aiming device after the initial sighting arrows.
In 1987, 3 V.I. archers from the U.K. were invited to take part in the French Indoor Championships. This invitation was continued bi-annually until the mid 1990’s.
In 2001, four V.I. archers carried out a demonstration at the I.P.C., Indoor European Championships in Belgium and later that year did a demonstration at the I.P.C. World Championships in the Czech Republic. This was then followed by an invitation to take part in the 2002, I.P.C. sanction event in the Czech Republic where four archers from the U.K. took part. A further invitation was received to take part in the 2003 event in the Czech Republic.
In 2003 the B.B.S. National Outdoor Championships was combined with an international competition with teams from France, Belgium and Italy, alongside V.I. archers from the U.K.
In June 2004 a team of eight V.I. archers and their spotters from the U.K. took part in the 2nd V.I. Archery International competition held on the outskirts of Paris. Four countries again took part with two other countries sending observers. The team came back with four first places, one second and one third place. Three members of the team represented the U.K. in the team competition and came second, loosing by eighteen points to the French team.
Also during this weekend a seminar on agreeing rules for V.I. Archers competing at international competitions were agreed and these new rules will be placed before IBSA with the hope that the rules will then include archery as one of its recognised sports.
Since 2004 several more international events have been held and archers from this country have taken part in most of them.
In May 2005 at the IBSA World conference, in Beijing, the archery rules were proposed and accepted, making archery an official IBSA sport. This conquered one of conditions imposed by the International Paralympic Committee. The acceptance by IBSA then paved the way for VI Archery to finally be considered a Paralympic Sport.
In 2005 V.I. archers were invited to take part in the 5th IPC World Championships which were held in Italy from 29th July to 4th August. At the IPC conference held during this event, rules for V.I. archers were agreed so as to include V.I. archers in future IPC events.
Since the IPC rules were introduced in 2005, stating that All V.I. Archers must wear blackouts to compete in IPC Competitions. The Sunday following the BBS Archery National Indoor and Outdoor championships, has been used to provide a Blackout Round to allow members to practice competing wearing blackouts.
In August 2006, 2 archers were selected to represent GB as part of the British team at the European Archery Championships which were held in the Czech Republic and came back with a gold and a bronze medal.
In October 2007, a further 2 V.I. archers were selected to join the GB team at the 6th IPC World Archery Championships held in Korea, coming back with gold and bronze medals.
As at 2008 V.I. archers are not eligible for entry into the IPC Paralympics, but it is hoped that this might be achieved in the near future.
During 2008 VI archers took part in the newly restored Disabled Archery Championships and this event was then renamed the GNAS Disabled Archery Championships in 2009.
Also during 2009 BBS Archery had a complete overhaul of their rules so as to make them easier to fit into the GNAS Green Book. These rules will now be updated every April, as necessary.
Also in 2009 a set of classification tables for the VIIR1 round were introduced and it is hoped that further classification tables for other rounds will be added in future years. This will make it possible for VI archers to obtain a classification of First class, Second class, Bowman etc.

When MTV first aired Jersey Shore in 2009, no one realized the pop cultural phenomenon it was going to become over its six season run. Whether watching out of curiosity, actual fandom or because, like a car wreck, you just can’t look away, the eight “Guidos” and “Guidettes” selected to live together for the summer in the Jersey Shore became Hollywood stars really quick. The show’s popularity skyrocketed and in 2010 the cast was even named on Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People list and spawned three spinoffs in other countries. They tanned, they drank, they partied and they fought and millions watched it all, earning each and every cast member a rather large paycheck just for acting like fools for the summer. Since the show ended in 2012 and now has a reunion show, Jersey Shore: Family vacation, check out the list below to find out how much the stars of Jersey Shore are worth now.
9. Angelina Pivarnick
Estimated Net Worth: $2 Million. Angelina Pivarnick may not have been a part of the Jersey Shore cast, but she was on long enough to put quite a few bucks in her account. Pivarnick was not well liked in the house and had issues almost immediately. While she called herself the “Kim Kardashian of Staten Island,” her housemates took to calling her the “Staten Island Dump,” and after serious issues with Mike and Snooki, she left the house in Season 2. Regardless, she is still estimated to be worth between $1.5 million and $2 million. Aside from making $3000 per episode in Season 1 and $15,000 per episode in Season 2, she is also apparently a musician.


Samsung Galaxy A7

A tribute to the actor who has died aged 91, whose style possessed a deep mystery, and had a gentle singing voice that evoked great pathos, a version of a song by Fred Rose, sung by many from Roy Acuff to Elvis Presley, and best known as by Willie Nelson in Red Headed Stranger (1975), but here performed with perfection by Stanton in the documentary about his life, Partly Fiction (2012).
In the documentary directed by Sophie Huber, Stanton, interviewed by director David Lynch is asked, "How would you describe yourself?" "There is no self. Nothing," he replies, typically. Sam Shepard said that Stanton is an actor who knows that the whole story is on his face. Perhaps that's why he was so brilliant in Paris Texas, here of course with the fantastic music of Ry Cooder:
Stanton himself sung in many of his feature films and it wasn't until Paris, Texas that he played the lead at the age of 58. Perhaps though one of his great, forgotten renditions was in 1967's Cool Hand Luke, doing Just A Closer Walk With Thee.

Smyrna, GA – Murata Americas releases the SVK3 series, the world’s most precise surface-mount type rotary position sensors. This compact and low profile solution delivers a linearity of ±1%. The sensors also achieve twice the precision of previous products and can withstand temperature ranges required by the automotive market.
In recent years, electronic controls have achieved widespread adoption in the automotive market. As a result, electronic rotary switch devices are now used extensively for feedback control devices in drive motors and as temperature and airflow adjustment switches in automobile air conditioning systems. Further, rotary position sensors are used to detect the rotation state (angle) of motors or switches in these devices. As manufacturers aim to add improved, next generation functionality to their products, demand for finely tuned motor control and switch adjustments is on the upswing.
“Murata developed the SVK3 series in response to this increased demand,” said Geoff Brock, General Manager, New Products & Sensors, Business Development & Product Marketing, Murata Americas. “This solution raises control to a higher level, delivering the world’s most precise SM rotary position sensor.”
Its compact size, low profile (W11 × L12 × T2.1mm) and lightweight (0.4g) dimensions enable the products that incorporate them to be miniaturized. The physical parameters of Murata’s SVK3 rotary position sensors are identical to that of the preceding SV03 series, allowing them to be used as direct replacements without the need for additional design changes or performance degradation. Further, the sensors meet the temperature range (-40 to 125 degrees C) and service life (300,000 cycles) requirements for automotive applications. The SVK3 series rotary sensors also have a resistance of 10k ohms and provide an effective angle of rotary movement of 333.3 degrees.

The alternative and renewable energy sector has enjoyed a rekindled interest in 2014. After 2008 and subsequent years, this is a welcome sign for many of the established and speculative alternative and renewable energy players. For a speculative company like FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), this could be the perfect storm.
24/7 Wall St. has just featured FuelCell Energy in a larger industry piece on seven alternative and renewable energy stocks with massive upside potential. Again, this is potential. There are still many things that could go wrong against the company and the industry.
FuelCell Energy is in the business of making stationary fuel cell power plants for distributed baseload power generation. The subsector of fuel cells within alternative energy and clean tech has been more than volatile in 2014, thanks in part to Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG). Plug Power is a very controversial stock, and its $4.85 share price (and $810 million market cap) compares to a 52-week range of $0.26 to $11.72.
What is interesting about the Plug Power rally pulling up FuelCell is that FuelCell should really be the industry’s de facto leader rather than Plug Power. After all, Plug Power’s sales have been stagnant around $26 million to $27 million for the past three years. FuelCell’s revenues grew from $120 million in 2012 to $187 million in 2013, and the revenues are expected to be almost $194 million in 2014 and $245 million in 2015.
So, FuelCell is in a broader use of fuel cells with a larger base and likely a larger opportunity, yet its $640 million market cap is smaller than Plug Power’s, despite exponentially higher revenues.
With FuelCell Energy shares trading around $2.45, the 52-week range is $1.10 to $4.74.
We would be quick to point out that there is no straight line that goes endlessly higher here for FuelCell. Sales at FuelCell sputtered in the 2011 to 2012 period around $120 million. Like most speculative alternative energy players, its profitability is also still a ways out. The company even has a rising cumulative loss amount of almost $780 million, and it trades at a negative book value.
Zacks Investment Research recently was very cautious, saying of the companies in the segment, “For now, it is a wait and see situation to find out whether fuel cell can offer a realistic solution to power generation and greenhouse gas emissions or whether its potential is only good on paper.”
Our take is that the 50 worldwide locations in which the company has its FuelCell power plants installed is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. The company already has strategic alliances with POSCO, Enbridge, the Fraunhofer Institute, NRG and Abengoa.
The company services utilities, industrial operations, universities, municipal water treatment facilities, government installations and others. Its power plants are extremely flexible as well, using renewable biogas, clean natural gas or directed biogas. Its current statistics as of April are as follows: 2,323,772,800 total kWh generated by DFC plants, which is said to be sufficient to power approximately 210,487 average size U.S. homes for one year.
With so much of the world’s corporate activities being in very remote locations and with such a high demand for cleaner energy use, FuelCell literally could be sitting on top of a billion dollar business. If that occurs, FuelCell could easily become a target of larger industrial giants who want its market position.
Again, the alternative energy companies we have featured are very speculative. Many issues could crush their growth opportunity ahead. We would also point out that the handful analysts in the Thomson Reuters universe only have a price range target of $3.40 to $4.00. That being said, FuelCell shares already topped that in 2014, and this was the equivalent of a $10, $20 and even $40 stock back in 2000 or so before its stock fell from grace.

Eurasian Watermilfoil Control Removal in El Verano California
Eurasian Watermilfoil in El Verano, CA can be a real problem for municipal and home owners ponds and lakes as well as golf course ponds throughout the State of California. Now there is help with controlling and removing Eurasian Watermilfoil in El Verano. Check out our aquamogs by clicking here.
Water plants are plants that have adapted to living in marine conditions (saltwater and / or fresh water). Also they are known as hydrophytes or macrophytes. These types of plants need to have specific variations for existing submerged in water, or even at the water’s surface. The most common adaptation is aerenchyma, but floating leaves and very finely dissected leaves are also popular. Water plants can only flourish in water or in dirt that is completely soaked with water. They are for that reason a typical part of wetlands.
Water plants are typically a beneficial element of the water body, whether it’s a lagoon or a water-feature. The aquatic vegetation is a resource of nutrition, shelter and oxygen to the wildlife located in water-feature or lake. However left uncontrolled a majority of these aquatic plants may propagate speedily and decrease the activities within the water-feature or lake. That’s when these kinds of aquatic plants end up water weeds.
A fairly simple explanation of a water weed is a plant that grows (commonly too densely) within an area in ways that it prevents the value as well as enjoyment of that area. A lot of well-known examples of aquatic plants which will develop into unwanted weeds are water milfoil, duck weed, pondweed, hydrilla, water hyacinth, cattail, bulrush, ludwigia, and many others. They can grow throughout fish ponds, lakes, streams, canals, navigation channels, storm water basins and channels, wetlands and lagoons. Typically the growth may be due to a range of elements including excessive nutrients within the water as well as intro of rapidly-growing exotic species. The difficulties caused by water undesirable weeds are many, which range from unpleasant growth and nuisance aromas to constricting of waterways, flood damage, watercraft damages, perhaps even drowning and impairment of water quality.
Almost always it’s more efficient plus cost-effective to work with a qualified water weed control organization to eradicate and control your aquatic weed problems. Within California the most professional organization is DK Environmental. DK Environmental is located in the San Francisco Bay area yet carries out water weed eradication everywhere in the State of California. The machines that DK Environmental utilizes is incredibly different to the western U . S .. Featuring fleet of aquamog amphibians DK can access any kind of water body system.

Nail psoriasis usually appears in people that already have psoriasis on their skin. In rare cases nail psoriasis may appear before the skin manifestations. And in the rarest cases psoriasis will only appear on the nails of a person and will never appear anywhere else.
In the case when there are no psoriasis lesions on the skin of a person, and only the nails are damaged with psoriasis, it is sometimes difficult for a doctor to make a correct diagnosis. Nail psoriasis often resembles a fungal damage of the nails. In this case it is helpful if the person knows of her/his family history of psoriasis.

A Woolworths shopper has been left scratching their head after spotting a strange sign at their store.
Sharing on Facebook, Queensland resident Ryan spotted a sign next to the asparagus saying that it was grown in ‘Mexico or Australia.’’
Ryan was frustrated by the sign saying ‘“Eh … what’s the difference, hey Woolies?’
A Woolworths spokesperson said that there was a super simple explanation for the sign, saying “We have an Australian First Sourcing Policy for all our fresh food, which means we will always choose Australian grown fruit and vegetables first,” the spokesperson said.
“If produce is out of season in Australia or there’s not enough locally to meet our customers’ needs, we may source it from further afield from time to time.
“At the moment, some asparagus growing regions in Australia are not in season so we’re sourcing the product from a mix of local and northern hemisphere growers.
“This country of origin labelling lets customers know we’re currently selling a combination of both.”

Jordan: Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri addresses International Sirah Conference 2016
Attending the three-day International Sirah Conference in Jordan, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that the religious scholars, jurists and Muftis can play an important role to bridge the gap in the Muslim world. He said that the fires of sectarianism and hatred are being fanned under a political strategy with an objective to drive more wedges. He said that conspiracy is afoot to undermine the Islamic world politically, economically and military power of the Islamic countries.
The International Sirah Conference continued from October 23 to October 25 in the capital of Jordan. It was arranged by Royal Aal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, which was attended by leading scholars, Mashaykh, Muftis and intellectuals who presented their papers in different sessions.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri represented Pakistan in the Conference. He reached Oman, the capital, from London on October 22 one day before its formal start. The inaugural session of the Conference got underway on October 23 in which the participants exchanged views on the contemporary challenges facing the Islamic world.
Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri delivered his keynote address at the Conference under the subject of “Parallel status of the Holy Quran and Sunna in implementation of Commandments”. He said that the Muslim world can regain its lost glory by acting upon the teachings of the Quran and Sunna alone. He said that resort to the basic sources of Islam is inevitable in this regard.
Dr Qadri underlined the need of establishment of peace in the Muslim lands, stating that socio-economic progress cannot happen unless peace is restored on sustainable basis. He said that terrorist groups that were established in the name of Islam are distorting its teachings and bringing our great faith into disrepute. He said that these outfits are actually helpful to the anti-Islam forces in the fulfillment of their agenda. He said that there is a dire need of a great debate among the Islamic countries to fight off the contemporary challenges.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri also called on King Abdullah of Jordan. The matters relating to terrorism, evolving situation in the Middle East, and the challenges facing the Muslim world came under discussion in the meeting. Both leaders agreed that there is a need to make renewed efforts to eliminate the terrorism perpetrated in the name of Islam. They said that the Islamic world is duty bound to make sure that the name of our great religion is not abused by the terrorist and extremists organizations and that they are eliminated forthwith.

Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Shaykh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, Muhaddith Syria Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi, Abdullah bin Bayyah, Shaykh Ali Juma of Egypt, Mufti-e-Yemen Sheikh Muhammad bin Al-Hafiz, Sheikh Habib Ali Al-Jifri and other leading scholars called on Dr Qadri on the margins of the Conference.
While talking to the leading scholars, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri highlighted the imperative of forging brotherhood, and solidarity among the Muslim countries. He said that the Islamic countries need to rise above their local interests and work for greater causes. He said that Islam is under attack from several sources and it is everyone’s responsibility to protect it.
