the more just remarks of Mr. Gilbert Wakefield, who says of Mr. Gray's Pindaric Odes, that « They “ have a much greater resemblance to the Odes of “ the Theban bard than any thing of the kind in our “own, and probably in any other language. Wild“ness of thought and irregularity of verse, had usu“ ally been esteemed the only way to resemble Pin“ dar. The characteristic excellencies of Pindar's “poetry, are, sublimity of conception, boldness of “ metaphor, dignity of style, rapidity of composition, " and magnificence of phraseology. If a fair judg« ment can be formed upon those few specimens « which the desolations of time have spared, in gran“ deur of imagery and regularity of thought, he is “ surpassed by Mr. Gray.-These sublime and ela“ borate productions of genius chastised by learning, « and of learning invigorated by genius, are from “ their nature by no means calculated to please the “ generality of readers, especially upon a slight ac" quaintance.—That , spirit of lyrical inspiration “ which they breathe ; that divine glow of pathos, “ which at the same time melts and inflames the readser, cannot operate with their full effect, but on a “ congenial soul, attuned to the bold vibrations of en“thusiastic poesy. He who can continue amidst the “ blaze of splendeur that bursts around him, amidst “the torrent of sublimity that pours along, sedately “ speculating upon petty blemishes, is certainly a “ stranger to those sensations which animated Pindar “ and Mr. Gray."
A vacancy in the office of Poet Laureate was in 1757 occasioned by the death of Colley Cibber. The Duke of Devonshire, being at that time Chamberlain, made a polite offer of it to Mr. Gray, through the medium of Lord John Cavendish, his brother; but, whether on account of the disgrace that had been brought upon that office by the profligacy and inability of some who had filled it, or for what other reason we cannot now discover, Mr. Gray declined it, and it was conferred on Mr. Whitehead.
Our poet's life was now chiefly devoted to literary pursuits, and the cultivation of friendship. It is obvious, from the testimony of his letters, that he was indefatigable in the former, and that he was always ready to perform kind offices in the latter. Sir William Williams, an accomplished and gallant young officer, having been killed at Belleisle, his friend Mr. Frederic Montagu proposed to erect a monument over him, and with this view requested Mr. Gray to furnish the epitaph. His slight acquaintance with Sir William would have been a sufficient reason for. declining the task ; but the friendliness of Mr. Mon
tagu's disposition, and the sincerity of affliction with which he was affected, wrought so powerfully upon Mr. Gray, that he could not refuse him, though he was by no means able to satisfy himself with the verses he wrote.
The professorship of modern languages and history, in the University of Cambridge, becoming vacant in 1762, through the death of Mr. Turner, Mr. Gray was spirited up by some of his friends to ask of Lord Bute the succession. His application however failed, the office having been promised to Lady Lowther for the tutor of Sir James.
In 1765, Mr. Gray, ever attached to the beauties of nature as well as to the love of antiquities, undertook a journey to Scotland for the purpose of gratifying his curiosity and taste. During his stay in that country Dr, Beattie found the means of engaging his notice and friendship. Through the intervention of this gentleman the Marischal College of Aberdeen had requested to know if the degree of Doctor of Laws would be acceptable to Gray; but this mark of their attention he civilly declined.
In December 1767, Dr. Beattie, still desirous that liis country should afford some testimony of its regard ; to the merit of our poet, solicited his permission to
print at the University press of Glasgow an elegant
edition of his works; Dodsley had before asked the like favour, and Mr. Gray, unwilling to refuse, gratified both with a copy containing a few notes and the imitations of the old Norwegian poetry, intended to supplant the Long Story, which was printed at first only to illustrate Mr. Bentley's designs,
The death of Mr. Brocket, in the July following, left another opening to the professorship which he had before unsuccessfully sought. Lord Bute however was not in office, and the Duke of Grafton, to preclude a request, within two days of the vacancy appointed Mr. Gray.
Cambridge before had been his residence from choice; it now became so from obligation, and the greater part of his time there was 'filled up by his old engagements or diverted to new ones. It has been suggested, that he once embraced the project of republishing Strabo; and there are reasons to believe that he meant it, as the many geographical disquisitions he left behind him appear to have been too minute for the gratification of general inquiry. The like observation may be transferred to Plato and the Greek Anthologia, as he had taken uncommon pains with both, and left a MS of the latter fit for the press, His design of favouring the public with the history of English poetry may be spoken of with more certain. ty, as in this he had not only engaged with Mr. Mason as a colleague, but actually paraphrased the Norse and Welch poems inserted in his works for specimens of the wild spirit which animated the bards of ancient days. The extensive compass, however, of the subject, and the knowledge that it was also in the hands of Mr. Warton, induced him to relinquish what he had thus successfully begun.
Nor did his love for the antiquities of his country confine his researches to its poetry alone: the structures of our ancestors and their various improvements, particularly engaged his attention. Of heraldry, its correlative science, he possessed the entire knowledge. But of the various pursuits which employed his studies for the last ten years of his life, mone were so acceptable as those which explained the economy of Nature. For botany he acquired a taste of his uncle when young: and the exercise which, for the sake of improvement in this branch of the science, he induced himself to take, contributed not a little to the preservation of his health. How considerable his improvements in it were, those only can tell who have seen his additions to Hudson, and his notes on Linnæus. While confined to zoology, he successfully applied his discoveries to illustrate Aristotle and others of the Ancients.

An East Toledo man who lied to police searching for a man accused of shooting a dog entered an Alford plea today in Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
Gary Crawford, 35, of 840 Utah St., was then found guilty by Judge Gene Zmuda of a misdemeanor charge of obstructing justice. A charge of intimidation was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
In an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit to committing a crime, but acknowledges evidence is sufficient for a conviction that could result in a more severe sentence.
Judge Zmuda sentenced him to 90 days at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio but gave him credit for 75 days he already has spent at the Lucas County jail.
Charges were filed against Mr. Crawford and his cousin, Marcus Crawford, 26, of 3324 Blackstone Dr., after a black-and-tan female German shepherd was shot in the 900 block of Clark Street in East Toledo March 24.
Marcus Crawford is still wanted by police on a felony warrant charging him with carrying a concealed weapon and having weapons under disability.
Brad Smith, an assistant Lucas County prosecutor, told the court today that when police were investigating the incident, they went to a Clark Street home in search of Marcus Crawford and were told by Gary Crawford that he was not there. Gary Crawford later told a witness that his cousin was in the basement at the time.
Although Gary Crawford initially was accused of threatening to shoot up the witness’s house, that charge was dismissed, Mr. Smith said, because the witness recanted her story.

Author: John Akwasi Mawuli Atidigah
According to the BBC, he is collecting documentation
Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea.
Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea. Collapse in the European Super League. With just two days of life, it loses its first founding member. According to the BBC, Chelsea is compiling the necessary documentation to request their exit from the Super League. Unanimous protests from the world of football, threats from UEFA, FIFA and Premier and rejection from his own fans would have undermined the morale of the London club.
According to the BBC, the exit would be a fact, although it remains to be known in what circumstances it occurs, if the signed contract is binding or what type of penalty Chelsea could face if it is unchecked, just two days after its foundation, from the Super League.
His departure could encourage other clubs such as Manchester City, who would also have doubts as reported in the English media.
The Chelsea fans had packed the surroundings of Stamford Bridge to prevent the team’s bus from reaching the stadium, but when they learned about the club’s decision to leave the Super League on social networks, they exploded with joy.
Roman Abramovich decided Chelsea could not go ahead with joining the ESL and, together with the board, he gave the green light for the club to start preparing documentation to pull out.
Chelsea’s intention to pull out of ESL will be provided either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Chelsea withdrawing from ESL is NOT a reaction to tonight’s events. Wheels were in motion earlier today.

As we reported earlier this summer, St. Louis' Forest Park has been recognized as one of the most beautiful parks in the world, in large part because of its massive $100 million facelift.
Forest Park Forever -- the nonprofit group that works with the city to restore and maintain the site -- has launched a campaign this year to celebrate the park's 50,000 days in operation since it was first established in June of 1876. The "Recounting 50,000 Days" campaign is an effort to collect 50,000 memories of the park to share in the visitor center. Recently, the group shared some neat photos of the park's transformation over the last decade, offering a side-by-side look at how some sites have improved through various redevelopments.
"Forest Park is a great story of transformation," Jasmine Evans, spokeswoman for Forest Park Forever, tells Daily RFT.
Evans provides us with these "before and after" shots of some of the most notable landmarks in the park. Take a look below and see how far the park has come in recent years.

Well, we’ve been busy helping folks design and install their spring vegetable gardens. Out on the farm, our strawberries are ripe and delicious. As most of you know, we’re in our first year of organic strawberry production at Blue Bramble Farm and are thrilled to be harvesting our first crop. We’re also in the process of creating a new logo, website, farm label, and public outreach program so thanks for staying tuned as we go through this transition!

My friend Suzanne Reiss of Suzanne Reiss Photography took this shot a few years ago of some wild edibles I pulled out of my yard for my sandwich. It was the end of February – the same time I will be offering a wild edible plant class out at my farm in Wimberley. If you’re interested in checking out our farm-in-progress and learning about some wild edibles out here, send me an email to register for the class! Here are the details:
What: Wild Edible Plant Walk – Learn how to identify, harvest and prepare some of the most common wild edible plants in Central Texas. * We will probably look at two different sites out here in the hill country to get a good sense of what’s in season!
Date & Time: Saturday, February 23rd 1p-3p, rain or shine
Cost: $40 per person includes handouts and some wild edible snacks
Location: Wimberley, Texas

It is a great time to plan your new garden or re-design your existing garden. Growing food in Central Texas is challenging but with some guidance and a good plan, you can create a fabulous edible garden! An Edible Yards consultation is perfect for getting you started and on the right track – contact me if you’d like some help with your plan!

I suppose this is a good time to introduce you to Blue Bramble Farm. We’ve been busy preparing the ground and getting ready to plant strawberries. Our dear friend Cypress (also a farmer at Engel Farms in Fredericksburg) came out to help us lay mulch and drip tape.
We’ll be planting our berries this week and the blackberries will go in this winter. I’ve been working quite a bit on the farm but will continue to offer Edible Yards services. I’m just not sure how much time I’ll have for blogging over the next few months!

I do consultations for folks on a regular basis and want to share a bit more about my consultation process. I absolutely love consulting with people on their edible yard projects – I can help you figure out your next steps no matter what stage you are at in your food producing adventure. Many of my consultations last about an hour, but I am always willing to stay longer to cover more ground. To break it down, here’s what I cover during a consultation for:
The beginner: Many people I consult with prefer to install their gardens and do their maintenance work themselves and just need some guidance on designing their garden, developing a planting plan, and figuring out where to get materials. Many of these folks are new to gardening or have tried something for a season or two and have had a difficult time. During a consultation, I’ve helped clients lay out their garden and develop a seasonal installation plan. In addition to discussing options, I like to get lists and sketches down on paper for the DIY crowd so they can get started and follow through with success. It can be hard to know where and how to start as a beginning food producer and I spend plenty of time showing folks exactly how to get things growing in their yard – I’ve always believed that our gardens themselves are our best teachers.
The occasional gardener: Some folks I work with have a few growing seasons under their belts and simply need some advice on how their gardens can be more productive or better designed in their space. Believe it or not, I’ve showed up to some pretty amazing gardens complete with expensive boxes and irrigation systems only to find that they were installed in total shade! Yikes. I’ve actually helped some clients move their gardens during a consultation to take better advantage of their space. People with some experience often need a year-long planting plan or some suggestions on maintaining their garden for optimal fertility and best harvests.
The seasoned grower: I consider myself in this category and I am still constantly presented with questions in my garden -I love figuring out what new bug is nibbling my plants or how soil has changed over time or what new tricks I can try to achieve better harvests. I often arrive at consultations with seasoned gardeners prepared to identify pests, diseases, soil problems or design issues. Many times these growers will contact me with specific needs and I can determine whether I am able to consult with them on the subject – I will only consult with people that I am qualified to help. Sometimes, two vegetable gardeners are better than one when it comes to working out gardening problems!
Consultations are for the Edible Yards client that wants to grow good food. During a consultation, I will arrive at your site and get right down to what it is you need. I am hands-on, experienced and knowledgeable about local growing conditions and have been consulting with people on their food gardens for over 12 years in Central Texas. Let me know how I can help!

I’ve spent a lot of my gardening and farming days braiding onions and garlic. While I find onions harder to braid than garlic, it’s still a lot of fun and produces a gorgeous, edible bunch to hang in your kitchen or pantry. Since both onions and garlic need to be hung to cure after harvest, braiding them makes the bunches more presentable. Oh, and there are several braiding techniques printed on the web. Check this link out for one way to braid onions.

Garden design is a unique process with a wide range of methods, applications and results. I get a lot of questions about my process and would like to share a little bit about my own designs and how I work with clients to create their ideal vegetable gardens and edible landscapes. I spend a good amount of time observing, taking site inventory and conducting site analysis since every site is different and has its own special features and challenges. An edible garden has specific needs such as good, fertile soil, ample sunlight, decent drainage and easy access for maintenance and harvests. When designing, I am always looking at ways to best utilize the space and maximize food production.
Clients also have their own ideas and needs so I spend plenty of time discussing what the client wants to grow and what they like to eat, how much time they want to spend maintaining their garden and their budget and expectations. If a client wants an entire edible landscape and is starting from scratch with their yard design, I can draw up a complete design in cooperation with landscape architects. If a client simply wants a vegetable garden or small orchard, I usually do a simple sketch and seasonal planting plan that includes everything the client wants to grow. I also do a lot of site design which involves walking around the client’s space, marking off growing beds and paths, staking and stringing and poking around in the soil to find the best location for growing food. My design process involves a lot of back-and-forth discussion with my clients to make sure we understand each other and can work together. Good design involves great communication to achieve beautiful, productive gardens.
One of my latest design projects is working with the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts to create a 6000 square foot culinary and teaching garden at their campus in Austin. They have a unique farm-to-table curriculum that allows their students to gain credit by working on local farms. In addition, they are establishing a culinary garden on campus that will provide ingredients for the kitchen and will offer some space for teaching and dining. I am designing their on-site culinary garden for production, education and garden events and will include seasonal annual crops, culinary herbs, edible flowers and perennials such as asparagus and blackberries. After taking a site inventory and compiling all of their needs, I completed a basic sketch of their garden with a plan to install this fall. Check out the sketch:
I do not believe in wasting time or money on drawing up elaborate designs. I am a very practical person and think that a productive, gorgeous edible garden can be achieved through thorough site design and simple sketches. Ultimately, most people want a productive, edible garden and it is my goal to help folks realize their ideal gardens sustainably and efficiently. I love to work on designs and look forward to helping folks create their perfect vegetable gardens and edible landscapes!

OWI driver falsely accused of having stolen handgun
POSTED: Thursday, May 9, 2013 - 3:15pm
UPDATED: Thursday, May 9, 2013 - 4:05pm
SCOTT, LA (NBC33) — A simple oversight caused a 21-year-old to end up with a charge for a crime that he did not commit.
“The business owner who reported the gun stolen never called the sheriff’s office once he found the firearm,” Chief Chad Leger, Scott Police Department, explained. “When we ran the information on the gun, it came back stolen, but we later learned that it was obtained legally.”
It all started when Joshua Craft was involved in a car crash at the intersection of Apollo Road and Cameron Street on May 4, 2013 at roughly 5:30 a.m. When officers arrived on scene, they believed Craft was intoxicated.
“A standard field sobriety test was conducted and according to the results, it was determined that Mr. Craft was impaired,” Chief Leger noted. “He was then placed under arrest for Operating While Intoxicated second offense.”
The gun was located in his car during a vehicle inventory after his car was towed due to the damage from the crash. In accordance with policy, the serial number was run and it came back from the National Crime Information Center as being reported stolen by the West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office in November 2004.
“Originally we were told that it was stolen from a home, but it was actually reported stolen from a business,” Chief Leger explained.
The business owner eventually found the missing gun, but never called to say that it had been found. He then sold the gun to Craft’s father, who later gave it to his son.
“Mr. Craft had no knowledge that the gun was still listed as stolen,” Chief Leger said. “A bill of sale was provided to the Scott Police to bolster Craft’s claim that he obtained the weapon legitimately. On the top line of the receipt was the name of the complainant of the theft report from November of 2004.”
The charge of Illegal Possession of a Stolen Firearm has since been abolished. However, Craft still faces charges for Operating While Intoxicated (second offense) and Careless Operation of a Vehicle.

Report: Ahmadinejad Says Next President 'Already Decided'
23 Mar 2011 20:55
Press Roundup provides a selected summary of news from the Iranian press and excerpts where the source is in English. Tehran Bureau has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy. Please refer to the Media Guide to help put the stories in perspective. You can follow breaking news stories on our Twitter feed.
Iran Daylight Time (IRDT), GMT+4:30
8:30 p.m., 3 Farvardin/March 23 Bahrain's national airline, Gulf Air, has suspended service to Iran. Senior Shia clerical figures in Iran, including Grand Ayatollah Hossein Vahid Khorasani and Grand Ayatollah Yousef Sanei, have strongly condemned the intervention in Shia-majority Bahrain by forces from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in support of its Sunni-controlled monarchy. Gulf Air had been serving four Iranian cities: Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, and Isfahan. The airline has also canceled flights to Iraq and Lebanon, where Shia political groups and communities have also voiced support for the anti-government protests in Bahrain.
Our columnist Muhammad Sahimi compiled the following news items and commentary:
The Ansar News website, which is close to Ansar-e Hezbollah, the hardline group that supports the administration of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, reported that in a speech last Wednesday, March 16, Iran's president said, "It has been decided who the next president of Iran will be." The story was deleted from the website after a short time, but not before it was noted by several other websites. Iran's next presidential election will take place in 2013. Ahmadinejad has been promoting his chief of staff and confidant Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei. This has angered many among the hardliners and conservative clerics, who exerted great pressure to force Mashaei to cancel a trip to New York that had been scheduled for this week.
The European Union agreed on Monday, March 21, to impose sanctions against Iranian officials responsible for violations of human rights.
The declaration was adopted by the foreign ministers of the E.U., who stated that the union "will continue to address human rights abuses in Iran, including by swiftly introducing restrictive measures targeted against those responsible for grave human rights violations." They said that they are "alarmed by the dramatic increase in executions in recent months and the systematic repression of Iranian citizens," and that "human rights defenders, lawyers, journalists, women's activists, bloggers, persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities and members of the opposition face harassment and arrests for exercising their legitimate rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly." The foreign ministers called on Iran to immediately release all political prisoners.
King Hamad ibn Isa al-Khalifa of Bahrain claimed that a foreign plot against his nation had been foiled. "An external plot has been fomented for 20 to 30 years until the ground was ripe for subversive designs.... I here announce the failure of the plot," he was quoted as telling troops in a report by Bahrain's news agency, BNA. He also thanked troops brought in from other Sunni-ruled countries of the Persian Gulf to help quell weeks of protests calling for political reform. Many of those who participated in the protests were members of Bahrain's Shia majority. One thousand soldiers from Saudi Arabia and 500 police officers from the United Arab Emirates entered Bahrain to protect government facilities during the unrest. The king did not say who was behind the alleged plot, but his comments were widely interpreted as meant to indicate Iran. Abdulrahman al-Attiyah, secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, told reporters in Abu Dhabi, "We reject any intervention in our internal affairs and among these [intervening] countries is Iran."
Azim Aghajani, a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is being tried on charges related to a weapons shipment seized in Lagos, Nigeria. He acknowledged that he did not have a license to export arms, according to a statement read at his trial on Monday. In the statement, Aghajani said, "My IGTCC [International General Trading and Construction Company], registered in Gambia, does not have an import license from the Iranian government or the Nigerian government to import or export arms to Nigeria or Gambia or any other country." The statement was made at the secret police headquarters in Abuja on February 11, the court was told. Aghajani and his co-defendant Ali Abbas Jega, a Nigerian national, are accused of the illegal importation of rockets, explosives, and grenades seized at a Lagos port in October 2010. Despite the February 11 statement, both have denied the charges against them, and in particular the charge that they falsified the documents for the 13 containers seized at a Lagos port as building materials.
The incident created a diplomatic crisis for Iran. The Islamic Republic claimed that the weapons were intended for Gambia and were part of an agreement between that country and Iran. Gambia denied it was the intended recipient and, along with Senegal, cut ties with Iran. Aghajani is said to be a member of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Division, which operates outside Iran.
Several websites that support the Green Movement -- Kalemeh, Saham News, Jonbesh-e Rah-e Sabz (Jaras), Mizan Khabar, Tahavvol-e Sabz, Emruz, Neda-ye Sabz-e Azadi, Advar News, Taghir, Khat-e Sabz, Ra'y-e ma Kojast, Neda-ye Azadi -- along with the Rasa television network issued a joint statement pronouncing the new Iranian year "the year of knowledge and freedom." The statement declares, "One hundred years of resistance and struggle against dictatorship has taught us that knowledge is the Achilles' heel of dictatorship and the authoritarian demon. Today, spreading knowledge is also our most valuable asset for continuing on the green path of hope."
In a speech in Mashhad, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned officials of the Islamic Republic against publicly airing their differences and criticizing each other. Speaking from the shrine of Imam Reza -- Shiites' Eighth Imam -- the ayatollah said that the "enemy" benefits from such public squabbling. He declared the new Iranian year the year of "economic jihad" and criticized the West's intervention in the Middle East and north Africa. He said that whenever the United States claims that it supports the people of the region, it is lying, and that "the U.S. government does not even have mercy on its own nation."
In response to criticisms of the Nowruz festivities planned for Persepolis by Ahmadinejad and Mashaei, to which many foreign dignitaries had been invited, Mohammad Reza Forghani, head of the presidential office of international affairs, said, "The Nowruz diplomacy is an achievement of the tenth administration" (Ahmadinejad's second administration). Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Haeri Shirazi also voiced support for the celebration. Criticism had come from a broad spectrum of hardliners, ranging from Brigadier General Yadollah Javani, head of the Revolutionary Guards' political directorate, to conservative Majles deputy Ahmad Tavakoli.
A spokesman for the Turkish Foreign Ministry said that Turkey has confiscated from an Iranian cargo plane materials that are illegal under United Nations sanctions on Iran. The cargo plane had been forced to land at Diyarbakir in southeast Turkey on Saturday while en route from Tehran to Syria. The spokesman continued, "During routine controls it was determined that there was illegal material on the plane which fell within the scope of U.N. sanctions imposed on Iran and this material was confiscated. The plane was allowed to leave Turkey and return to Iran today without the illegal material."
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said that he has no particular concerns in the diplomacy arena in the new Iranian year. He said that his priority for the new year is expanding Iran's relations with its neighbors, the Islamic countries, and the European countries.
Ebrahim Raeisi, deputy to judiciary cheif Sadegh Larijani, has told Mohammad Reza Rahimi, Ahmadinejad's first vice president (Iran has eight vice presidents) that the corruption accusations against him are serious and he will need to respond to them in court. Rahimi has been accused, even by some hardliners, of masterminding an embezzlement scheme that reaped as much as $1.2 billion, using an insurance company. He has denied the accusation and claimed that the money was distributed among Ahmadinejad's supporters and spent on his 2009 reelection campaign.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, a conservative Marja (source of religious emulation) has harshly criticized the distribution of a documentary film, The Appearance Is Imminent. The documentary, which has been distributed free of charge as a DVD, purports to explain why the return of Imam Mahdi, the Shiites' 12th Imam and earth's promised redeemer, is nigh. As evidence the documentary, made by supporters of Ahmadinejad and Mashaei, claims that "Seyyed Khorasani" is Khamenei and "Shoayb ib-Saleh" is Ahmadinejad. The two mythical figures are supposed to emerge when the reappearance of Imam Mahdi is imminent. Makarem Shirazi said that such claims are no more than the filmmakers' hallucinations and hurt Shiism.
Sara Haj Bahrami and Ali Divsalar, two children's rights activists, have been arrested and imprisoned in the southern city of Kerman. They have been charged with working with the members of the Baha'i minority, whose faith is not recognized by the Iranian government. The two founded a charity in Kerman to aid children who lost their parents in the Bam earthquake of December 2004. Since December, Divsalar had also been a member of the management council of the Society for the Defense of Children's Rights. He is the second leading member of the society, after attorney and journalist Nasrin Sotoudeh, to be arrested.
During a visit by his daughter, outspoken reformist Mostafa Tajzadeh, who has been imprisoned since immediately after the June 12, 2009, presidential election, has asked his children not to seek any furlough for him. Tajzadeh has said that the entire process of his arrest and his show trial was illegal, and he does not recognize his conviction and his sentence. Just as he has never appealed his conviction, he has asked his family not to pursue his case either. He has said that furlough is a fundamental right of political prisoners that no one can take away from them, and that the hardliners will eventually be forced to recognize the right.
Ali Karroubi, son of Mehdi and Fatemeh Karroubi, and his wife were allowed to visit his parents on Sunday evening and have dinner with them. The younger Karroubi was released from detention after posting $100,000 bail. In a message to the nation, he said that his parents are healthy.
Dr. Mohsen Mirdamadi, secretary-general of the banned reformist Islamic Iran Participation Front, was granted a furlough and released from Evin Prison. Mirdamadi was a deputy in the Sixth Majles from 2000-2004 and chairman of its National Security and Foreign Relations Committee. He is also a professor of political science at the University of Tehran.
Mohsen Safaei Farahani, another imprisoned member of the central committee of the Islamic Iran Participation Front, has been granted a furlough. While in Evin Prison, he developed heart illness. He was hospitalized for the past five months, with his room sealed off to visitors by security agents. As his condition has improved recently, he was given furlough and allowed to go home.

“The Insider's Guide” Of Where To Go And What To Do In Chicago
Opened in 2005, Glenn’s Diner came about as a way to reinvent the diner experience. They did this by not only offering typical diner foods but also specializing in seafood dishes. They aren't just feeding you comfort foods but rather meals made with carefully selected ingredients and a dedication to their craft.
Located right off the Montrose Brown Line stop, Glenn’s Diner is an experience you wouldn't expect at a local diner. At first, the inside of the diner looks pretty ordinary with standard wooden tables and chairs, blackboards detailing the specials, and a bar sitting area in the front. What will immediately catch your eye, though, is behind the bar lies a wall shelved with over 25 choices of cereal. Your inner child will be delighted to see your old favorites and they serve them for both breakfast or dessert.
As for the seafood options, the diner carries over 16 different types of fresh fish including the Unique Gonzo Tiger Shrimp, Hawaiian Ruby Red Tuna, and Tazmanian King Salmon. Glenn's has more seafood choices than any other restaurant in Chicago. They also boast that they have the “best damn New England clam chowder West of the Atlantic Ocean”. Even their specials are dedicated to their love of seafood. On Tuesdays, they have an all you can eat Alaskan King Crab Leg option and Thursdays are devoted to shrimp. Hungry seafood lovers are also offered the first catch deal Tuesday through Thursday from 11 AM to 4 PM, which includes a half a pound of fresh fish and some sides.
Glenn's Diner has been rated and honored by many food publications, which isn't something a lot of diners receive. The Food Network gave praise to its uniqueness, Zagat called it one of the best diners in Chicago, and Check, Please showcased the BYOB restaurant.
For warmer weather days, Glenn's Diner has an outdoor seating area in the front. On weekdays, the diner is opened from 11 AM to 10 PM and on the weekends, Glenn's opens 2 hours earlier but closes at 9 PM on Sundays.

They stood poised at the beginning of his promising writing career, forming a circle of friendships that included a group of expatriates living a Bohemian life in Paris; among them were such notables as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and many others.
Ernest Hemingway had met and married Hadley Richardson in Chicago, a woman a few years his senior. He had already launched his writing life, and to finance his writer’s journey, Hemingway worked as a journalist for a time. His burgeoning writing career seemed to exist hand in glove with a hard-drinking and fast-living café life that did not celebrate traditional notions of family and monogamy. In these years, Hadley struggled with jealousy and self-doubt; ultimately, something major would smash their dreams of a lasting love.
A sometimes volatile relationship can still have, at its basis, a deeply abiding friendship, which overrides any great romance or grand passion, although they apparently had their share of those moments.
McLain has created a fictionalized version of factual events, digging deeper beneath the emotional layers of what other writers have chronicled about this first marriage of Ernest Hemingway. He would go on to marry four times in all, and his tragic demise was like the epilogue to a brilliant but captivating journey.
How Hemingway created his novels was also a fascinating exploration into the writer’s life. During his first marriage, he created and published The Sun Also Rises.
Throughout The Paris Wife: A Novel, I found myself wishing that events might turn out differently, that there might be a happy ending after all. What I found most satisfying throughout this story, however, were the playful and loving connections created at a tumultuous phase in the lives of these two, and how these connections would sustain them through some difficult times: bonds that would link them even after the marriage had ended. In a letter to Hadley, Ernest wrote of his admiration for her, and how she was the “best and truest and loveliest person I have ever known.”
Themes of loss, childhood trauma, and poor parental connections formed the foundation for what would unfold for these two, and for Hemingway himself in the years that followed. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about this fascinating writer in the early years, with his “first love.” Five stars.

SOUZA, Rogerio et al. Effect of adenosine on pulmonary circulation in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. J. bras. pneumol. [online]. 2005, vol.31, n.1, pp. 20-24. ISSN 1806-3713. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1806-37132005000100005.
BACKGROUND: The nucleoside adenosine is a potent vasodilator. Although its effect on the pulmonary arteries is well known, its influence on capillaries and veins has yet to be described. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pre- and post-administration effects of adenosine on arterial and venous resistance in the pulmonary circulation of patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. METHOD: The study involved 7 patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and presenting a positive response to adenosine on the acute test. Before and after adenosine administration, arterial and venous resistances were determined by estimating pulmonary capillary pressure through analysis of pulmonary artery pressure decay curves. RESULTS: Following adenosine administration, there was an increase in the cardiac index (from 1.71 ± 0.23 to 2.72 ± 0.74 L/min-1/m-2) and a decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (from 2924 ± 1060 to 1975 ± 764 dynes/s/cm-5/m-2) with no significant variations in mean pulmonary artery pressure (pre: 75.6 ± 16.8 mmHg; post: 78.1 ± 18.8 mmHg), pulmonary wedge pressure (pre: 15.3 ± 1.5 mmHg; post: 15.4 ± 1.9 mmHg) and pulmonary capillary pressure (pre: 43.8 ± 5.8 mmHg; post: 44.5 ± 4.9 mmHg). The ratio between arterial resistance and total pulmonary vascular resistance also presented a less than significant variation (pre: 50 ± 15%; post: 49 ± 17%). These findings suggest that adenosine affects the capillaries and veins as well as the arteries. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that the adenosine mechanism is not restricted to the arterial aspect of the pulmonary circulation, and that analysis of pulmonary capillary pressure could prove useful in the study of various drugs that affect the pulmonary circulation.

Addressing the Canadian Opioid Crisis: A Close Look at Recent Developments
Recently, an incident deepened our understanding of the extent and ramifications of the opioid crisis in Canada, specifically in Ontario. An article published by Kawartha 411 provided a detailed account of police raids that resulted in the seizure of firearms, ammunition, drugs, and cash. This event underlines the significant challenges we face in this ongoing crisis.
Impacts of the Opioid Crisis
The opioid crisis manifests itself not just in the surge of substance misuse but also in the associated increase in criminal activities. A growing number of individuals in Ontario, and throughout Canada, find themselves entangled in drug trafficking, with far-reaching implications for public safety and community well-being.
One of the immediate impacts of the opioid crisis is the increase in crime rates. Increased access to illicit drugs can lead to an escalation in petty crimes such as theft, as well as more serious offenses including gun violence, as individuals engage in activities to fund their drug habits. The recent raids in Kawartha Lakes serve as stark reminders of these ongoing challenges.
The opioid crisis also exacerbates homelessness issues. People struggling with substance misuse often end up facing housing instability, or worse, homelessness. The linkage between opioid misuse and homelessness is a complex and reciprocal one, with each issue intensifying the other in a vicious cycle.
Health and the Need for Naloxone
The health effects of the opioid crisis are profound. In addition to overdose deaths, long-term opioid misuse can lead to a variety of health problems and have severe physical and behavioral effects. Access to naloxone, a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose, is essential in providing immediate aid for overdose victims.
Efforts to Combat the Crisis
A myriad of efforts are ongoing to combat the opioid crisis. From enforcement action, public health initiatives, homeless support programs, and landmark legal cases, diverse strategies are in place to tackle this multifaceted issue.
As the situation in Kawartha Lakes highlighted, law enforcement agencies play a critical role in combatting the supply of illicit opioids. Raids and seizures are part of broader strategies to disrupt drug networks and curb opioid misuse.
Public Health Approaches and Naloxone
Public health initiatives target the demand side of the opioid crisis. National and local health agencies are working tirelessly to promote awareness about the dangers of opioids, provide access to treatment for individuals battling addiction, and ensure widespread availability of naloxone to help prevent overdose deaths.
Opioid Class Action
There is also the significant Canadian opioid abatement class action, where governmental entities in Canada have unified to hold opioid manufacturers accountable for their role in the crisis. This pending lawsuit has the potential to bring profound change in drug manufacturing policies and practices.
Key Points to Remember
- The opioid crisis is not limited to widespread opioid misuse – it is closely linked to increases in crime, homelessness, and health issues in Canadian communities.
- Efforts to combat the opioid crisis are multidimensional, involving enforcement action, public health initiatives, support for the homeless, and class action lawsuits.
- Access to naloxone remains a crucial measure in preventing opioid overdose deaths.
- The impending Canadian opioid abatement class action could bring significant changes in the pharmaceutical industry.
In closing, it is clear that the opioid crisis in Canada is a complex challenge with far-reaching social, health, and economic impacts. Comprehensively addressing these issues requires an integrated, cooperative approach and steadfast commitment from community leaders, law enforcement agencies, public health departments, and judicial systems. By recognizing and understanding these complexities, we can work towards creating healthier and safer communities in Ontario and across Canada.

As the Europa League is now at a close until the New Year, Arsenal fans have now had to get used to watching their team play in the league, where their form is noticeably different from the white hot standards they are setting in Europe.
Without a win since November, Arsenal have struggled to find anything even resembling form and their previous run-out against Southampton saw the team score their first goal from open play since October.
There were a few changes from the team that dramatically drew with Southampton; Gabriel Magalhães’ suspension meant that David Luiz was drafted in to replace him and the hapless Willian was brought in to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was out with a tight calf.
It didn’t take long for the misery that has long plagued Arsenal’s poor form recently to start once more; twenty-two minutes in fact as former-Gunner Alex Iwobi’s cross met Dominic Calvert-Lewin, only for the England international’s header to bounce in off of Rob Holding’s knee and give the home side the lead.
Everton did not lead for long however, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles ploughed his way into the box, he was brought down by Tom Davies and the subsequent penalty was quickly dispatched by Nicolas Pépé.
Though Arsenal dominated in possession, thy seemed unable to really penetrate Everton’s backline too much and soon the home side punished Arsenal for their lack of attacking sting and soon found themselves behind once more after Yerry Mina’s header was turned in following Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson’s corner, a hammer blow before half-time.
The second half was a more impressive showing from Arsenal, but once again, Arsenal failed to score. Though David Luiz came close with a shot that cannoned off the post, Arsenal were unable to produce anything resembling serious attacking quality.
The final-whistle was somewhat delayed in arriving, almost as a torment to Arsenal and their performance as they slumped to an eighth defeat in the league this season.
It is perhaps a testament to just how bad Arsenal’s performances have been or a signal of just how bad the results are just now that the highlight of Arsenal’s game was Gabriel Martinelli’s return to the team.
The Brazilian was hardly unlikely to change too many things in the team himself, but his presence in the side will be greatly appreciated, especially as Arsenal look to add some flat to a very dull attack.
However, the intriguing thing about Arsenal’s recent performances is the manner in which Arsenal have played. The team has not been overtly bad and performances haven’t been particularly poor, the issues seem to have stemmed more from Arsenal’s lack of ability to create or fashion many chances for themselves, which has also been coupled with poor finishing from the forward-line.
In terms of possession, Arsenal seem to be suffering an an embarrassment of riches, having dominated possession easily, the problem has been what to do with the possession when they actually have it.
Last night’s performance was however punctuated with the usual poor returns from certain players. Despite his goal, Nicolas Pépé was largely ineffective and unable to dance his way around Ben Godfrey, no matter how many times he tried, Willian was once again disappointing and Dani Ceballos was a contender for one of the worst players in the league for 90 minutes.
These individual performances have been the Achilles’ heel for Mikel Arteta in recent weeks and the Spaniard seems unable to turn things around and with a game against Manchester City on Tuesday night, it doesn’t look as though Arsenal’s fortunes will be turning around any time soon either.

Hector Bellerin says Arsenal’s victory against Chelsea to win the Community Shield is “a weight of our shoulders”.
The Gunners had not beaten Chelsea since 2011, when they won 5-3 at Stamford Bridge, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first-half strike on Sunday was enough to end the run.
Bellerin was delighted with the result and says it caps off a memorable pre-season.
"It’s a weight off our shoulders for the boss, for the fans, for the club in general"
“We knew it was going to be hard against the winners of the league,” Bellerin told Arsenal Player.
“We know that a Chelsea side is always physical and they have pace up front. We knew it would be difficult but the team responded well and we’re very happy.
“For a few years there have been a lot of games and we didn’t seem to get the victory against them. It’s a weight off our shoulders for the boss, for the fans, for the club in general. We’re very happy that we’ve started the season like this.
“I think pre-season, both in Asia and at the Emirates Cup, has been really good for the team. It’s been a great experience to finish the pre-season with a win at Wembley at Chelsea. I think that will be a big boost for the team."

Good morning. Good morning to you.
The morning breaking, breaking
Like some classical musical composition
And the serene atmosphere in ripples
With the echoes
Of good morning, good morning.
How are you, sir?

Two point what we need to notice in installation of magnetic level gauge
Author:vacorda Source:vacorda.com Date: 2016-11-01 15:13:43
Nowadays, the vast majority of factories in the production run, they need to equip the equipment with one or more sets of level gauge, however, because there are many types of liquid level gauge on the market, and the factory equipment measurement object itself has a variety of types, Including the different physical properties, different chemical properties, different functional requirements and installations, etc. and so it will result in the final choice of the choose of the level gauge. There are many types of level gauge in the market, include magnetic level gauge, glass tube level gauge, float liquid level gauge, glass plate level indicator, quartz tube level gauge, boiler level gauge, ultrasonic level gauge and so on, Here we mainly talk about what we need to pay attention to the installation of magnetic level gauge.
(Different installation ways of magnetic level gauge)
First, magnetic level gauge producced by Vacorda is the use of high temperature and magnetic components(permanent magnetic) of the magnetic float as the main components involved in the measurement. Because of the magnetic, the magnetic liquid level gauge can not be used around the magnetic device or the items interference the magnetic, otherwise it will affect the normal performance of the magnetic float, which led to the wrong level, so the environment is very important when installation of the magnetic level gauge, we must pay attention to the above things we talk about.
(Structure of magnetic level gauge)
Second, At the beginning, we said that the installation of the level gauge is different, whether you choose the top loading type(vertical insert tank), or side mounted type(side flange docking), or other installation ways, It is necessary to pre-open the tank and other equipment. Usually the magnetic flap level gauge is installed by the flange types, so for the hole in the device, we must meet the buyers flange standard.
(Process connection of level gauge)
The above two points is just about the installation of magnetic flap level gauge, and the selection considerations and post-use and maintenance considerations will report later. Please concerning our official website: www.vacorda.com, we will provide you more messe about the level gauge industry.
