Coves Peel on LP
Coves released their debut album Soft Friday in March 2014 to critical acclaim. Now they're back with the 2016 follow-up Peel. "The transition between Leamington and London," Beck Wood says of the themes that emerged for Peel, "how our life is now compared to then, the journey, fallouts between friends, the growth you have in life. We were on a rollercoaster of living the life of professional touring musicians and then going back to the day job."
When their touring schedule wound up in March 2015, Beck ran into producer Cam Blackwood (George Ezra, London Grammar). Keen to work with the band, he took the home recordings that Beck and musical mastermind John Ridgard had made during "red wine holidays" at the latter's East London spare room studio to Studio Voltaire in Clapham and honed the pop side until it was as sharp as their psychedelic garage edge. The result was a second album, completed in October 2015 and due for release on 1965 Records in March 2016 that's cleaner, harder and just as fiery as ever.
First single "Stormy," has Beck declaring "you see nothing but thunder in my stormy eyes" over a slab of prime Coves road trip Americana. Fans of Beck's savage snipes won't be disappointed. The '60s disco garage tune "You're Evil" is aimed at "people that I used to know who shat on my dreams or were two faced," while "I Don't Care" is a primal howl of misanthropy.
The album isn't an all-out bitch-fest, though. "It's split between fury and misery," Beck explains. For instance, the grandiose space rocker "I'm Not Here" is, according to John, "a real depression song; when the wheels fall off and the plans come apart at the seams." "To The Sea" is their "Everyday Is Like Sunday," a musical trip to Whitley Bay – "the saddest place I've ever been," says John – while "Tripping Over Lust" finds Beck telling an abusive partner "why don't you go cry me a sea so I can sail away on it." Malicious melancholy at its most barbed.

In this second instalment, it's 1997 and Denise is now working as a successful DI in Brixton. In the era of 'cool Britannia' and 'Blair's Babes', she's ideally place to the ranks, but is struggling to find time for husband Ray and their young daughter. Ray and Denise's marriage is a functioning rather than loving relationship, while we get the impression that Denise is spending most of her time at work Meanwhile Ray and Denise's mother Rose are handling most of the childcare and keeping the family home together.
Denise is investigating another rape-murder, this time of a young girl named Lauren Hinds, whose body is found on an estate. Denise's world changes forever when DNA on Lauren Hinds is cross-checked on the 'all-new DNA database' and matches unknown samples found on Amy Reid back in 1985. Samples with no names attached.
This new evidence means that Mike Holland's legal team is able to push and make his original conviction 'unsafe' and he's released after twelve years in prison. Holland's release means that Denise is forced to reveal to a devastated Ray that she planted evidence in 1985 in order to avenge the young and vulnerable Amy Reid. Eventually Denise is facing not only a DPS enquiry into her actions, but also a court case for Holland's financial compensation.
Meanwhile Denise is still investigating Lauren Hinds' rape and murder. Denise eventually arrests a club bouncer called Stephen Forester, who quickly admits to the rape and murder. Though forensics does confirm he was with Lauren, Forester's DNA doesn't match the unknown DNA on Amy Reid from 1985. There's also evidence to suggest that Forester couldn't have raped Lauren as he's sexually impotent, though he did undoubtedly murder the young girl. This leads Denise to believe that there may have been two people involved in the deaths of both Amy and Lauren.

DAVID HORNING AND PATRICIA HORNING ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES AND THE CLASSES DEFINED BELOW, PLAINTIFFS,v.LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA DEFENDANT.
This matter comes before the court on the motion of Plaintiffs David and Patricia Horning ("Horning"), on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated to remand this case to the Circuit Court of Cook County. Defendant Laboratory Corporation of America ("Labcorp") moves to dismiss Count I of the Horning's complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). For the reasons set forth below, the Hornings' motion to remand the case is denied and Labcorp's motion is granted.
This action was originally filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on May 4, 2009. On June 5, Labcorp removed the case to this court under the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"), 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332(d) and 1453. Labcorp perceives that the Hornings, together with the putative class members, satisfy the $5 million amount in controversy requirement under CAFA. The Hornings resist Labcorp's position and responded with this instant motion to remand.
According to the allegations of the underlying action, Patricia Horning had laboratory tests performed by Labcorp under a United Healthcare Preferred Provider program ("PPO"). Pursuant to the PPO's explanation of benefits, the PPO paid Labcorp for the tests and Patricia was not required to make any additional payment. Shortly thereafter, the Hornings claim that Labcorp billed them and demanded payment in the amount of $322; a later bill was for $8.05. Asserting that Labcorp maintains a practice of accepting payment from an insurance company or PPO and later billing the patient for an amount greater than was specified in the explanation of benefits, the Hornings, as representatives of a putative nationwide class, filed a two-count complaint asserting a breach of contract claim and an Illinois Consumer Fraud Act claim.
A. Motion to Remand
Under CAFA, federal courts have diversity jurisdiction over class actions that satisfy the following criteria: (1) minimal diversity; (2) 100 or more class members; and (3) an aggregate amount in controversy exceeding $5 million. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2). As the proponent of federal jurisdiction, the removing party bears the burden of describing how the controversy exceeds $5 million. Brill v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 427 F.3d 446, 448 (7th Cir. 2005). Since the amount in controversy is a pleading requirement and not a proof issue, a removing party need not "confess liability in order to show that the controversy exceeds the threshold." Id. at 449. The proponent must show what the stakes of litigation could be as well as what they are given the plaintiff's actual demands. Id. Once the proponent has plausibly suggested that the relief exceeds $5 million, then the case remains in federal court unless the plaintiff can show it is legally impossible to recover that much. Spivey v. Vertrue, Inc., 528 F.3d 982, 986 (7th Cir. 2008).
B. Motion to Dismiss Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6)
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss is used to test the legal sufficiency of a complaint. Gibson v. City of Chicago, 910 F.2d 1510, 1520 (7th Cir. 1990). In ruling on a motion to dismiss, a court must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff, construe allegations of a complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and accept as true all well-pleaded facts and allegations in the complaint. Bontkowski v. First Nat'l Bank of Cicero, 998 F.2d 459, 461 (7th Cir. 1993); Perkins v. Silverstein, 939 F.2d 463, 466 (7th Cir. 1991). To state a claim on which relief can be granted, a plaintiff must satisfy two conditions: first, the complaint must describe the claim in sufficient detail to give the defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests; and second, its allegations must plausibly suggest that the plaintiff has a right to relief, raising that possibility above a speculative level. EEOC v. Concentra Health Servs., 496 F.3d 773, 776 (7th Cir. 2007); see also Ashcroft v. Iqbal, - U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1950 (2009); Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964-65 (2007). However, a pleading need only convey enough information to allow the defendant to understand the gravamen of the complaint. Payton v. Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Med. Ctr., 184 F.3d 623, 627 (7th Cir. 1999).
With these principles in mind, we turn to the instant motions.
The Hornings contest federal jurisdiction on the grounds that their complaint does not support Labcorp's assertion that the aggregate amount in controversy, i.e. the combined claims of the Hornings and the putative class, exceed $5 million. Labcorp argues that it has satisfied its burden of establishing federal jurisdiction by referencing the actual demands contained in the complaint. First, Labcorp asserts the Hornings' claim against Labcorp is typical of the nationwide class, which is that Labcorp charged Patricia $322 for laboratory tests without the right to do so. Next, the complaint alleges that Labcorp performs over 300,000 tests per day and Labcorp calculates this number to be 75,000,000 tests over the course of a year. Finally, Labcorp avers that the Hornings claim that overbilling is part of its practice, which Labcorp contends is relevant to estimating the potential aggregate amount of damages in this case.
When evaluating a motion to remand, the court assesses the amount the plaintiffs have placed in controversy, not the amount they are actually entitled to recover. Brill, 427 F.3d at 449. Taking the $330.05 overcharge in the Hornings' complaint, and multiplying it by 75,000,000 yields $24,753,750,000. Overcharges in 15,150 instances, or.02% of the tests Labcorp performs over the court of a year, would produce the jurisdictional amount needed to satisfy CAFA. Since the Hornings allege Labcorp's practice of overbilling patients extends nationwide, it is plausible to conclude that overbilling occurred in that many instances if not more.
Furthermore, the Hornings have not argued that it is legally impossible for the putative class to recover that amount. Instead, they suggest that Labcorp is required to supply an affidavit to support its argument that the plaintiffs have placed the jurisdictional minimum amount in controversy. However, suits are removed on the pleadings, before the presentation of evidence or other proofs. Id. at 448. Labcorp has established how the complaint inspires an amount in controversy exceeding the $5 million minimum and the Hornings have failed to assert such a recovery would be legally impossible. Therefore, we are satisfied that we have subject matter jurisdiction over this dispute and the motion to remand is accordingly denied.
Labcorp moves to dismiss Count I of the Hornings' complaint for failure to state a claim. In Count I, the Hornings allege that Labcorp entered into an accord and satisfaction when it accepted payment under the explanation of benefits and stated that Patricia owed no money. The Hornings allege that collecting or attempting to collect more from a patient than what is expressed in the explanation of benefits constitutes a breach of that contract. Under Illinois law, a plaintiff must set forth the existence of a contract, the plaintiff's performance of its conditions, a breach by the defendant, and damages as a result of the breach. Assoc. Underwriters of American Agency, Inc. v. McCarthy, 826 N.E.2d 1160, 1168 (Ill. 2005). Labcorp contests whether the Hornings have sufficiently pled the existence of a contract and whether they have pled the element of damages.
In their response, the Hornings first argue that they have pled the existence of a contract and the existence of their right to sue by virtue of their alleged relationship with the PPO and its contract with Labcorp. It is well-established in Illinois that if a contract is entered into for the direct benefit of a third person, then the third person can sue for breach of contract despite being a stranger to the contract and consideration. Olson v. Etheridge, 686 N.E.2d 563, 566 (Ill. 1997). The Hornings contend that their contract with the PPO provides that in return for the premiums they pay, the PPO makes payments to the providers on their behalf in accordance with the PPO's contract with the provider. Moreover, the contract the PPO has with the provider ensures that the provider accepts payment at a discounted rate in consideration of the PPO's referral of patients to the provider. In sum, a reasonable inference can be drawn from the allegations in the complaint that the Hornings were the intended third-party beneficiaries of the contract between Labcorp and the PPO. Therefore, the Hornings may sue for what they perceive as a breach of the PPO-Labcorp agreement.
The Hornings contend that the essence of the relief sought is equitable in nature because they seek a declaratory judgment stating they owe nothing to Labcorp, therefore they need not plead damages. However, to prevail on a motion to dismiss, a plaintiff is required to allege legally cognizable damages to maintain a cause of action for breach of contract. Doe v. Northwestern Univ., 682 N.E.2d 145, 149 (Ill. 1997). Nowhere in the Hornings' complaint do they state they paid the bill Labcorp presented to them. In their response, they concede never having paid it. Without contending that the Hornings sustained any damage arising out of Labcorp's alleged breach, their claim for breach of contract cannot lie. As such, Labcorp's motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim is granted.
Since Count I is dismissed for failure to state a claim, the Hornings do not have standing to pursue the putative class action. Plaintiffs seeking to represent a class must allege and show that the defendant injured them personally and not just that the injury was sustained by unidentified members of a class to which they belong and plan to represent. Warth v. Seldin, 422 U.S. 490, 502, 95 S.Ct. 2197, 2207 (1975). The Hornings have not established the requisite personal injury necessary to represent the putative class on the breach of contract action.
The remaining claim is one for relief under the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, a state law action. The Hornings case is before us pursuant to the minimal diversity requirement contained in CAFA. However, without standing to represent the putative class, the Hornings cannot satisfy the necessary amount in controversy under CAFA. Based on the Hornings' individual claim, it is beyond a legal certainty that they would be unable to recover the jurisdictional amount. See Anthony v. Security Pacific Fin. Servs., Inc., 75 F.3d 311, 315 (7th Cir. 1996). Therefore, the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain this case due to an insufficient amount in controversy.
Based on the aforementioned, the Hornings motion to remand on jurisdictional grounds is denied and Labcorp's motion to dismiss is granted. The case is dismissed on the grounds that the court lacks jurisdiction.

Very disorganised. Content heavy. Not impressed.Anonymous, Semester 2, 2015
Content-wise, although this unit is highly theory-based, it explores some very interesting concepts in different fields of psychology. However, I (and many other people) found this unit to be quite poorly organised - a prime example of this: the research hypotheses which we needed to test were not released until a week before the group presentation was due. Also, the last lecture (which was 4 or so days before the exam) wasn't even a revision lecture. Luckily, my tute class had a friendly tutor who tried her best to alleviate the stress that came with this unit. In terms of assignments, the research report was marked quite harshly given this is a first-year unit (around 2/3 either failed or, like me, got a pass). Don't let that scare you, though; if you study the content and know it, you can easily make up for the research report in the exam. TL;DR: interesting concepts, marred by very poor organisation and hard marking.Anonymous, Semester 2, 2015
Not the most organised or well structured unit, that's for sure. Don't let this scare you though. I definitely didn't study everyday (listened to all the lectures in the last week before the exam) but i managed a Distinction. You can do well, just make sure you do well in the research report which is worth 35%. Ask your tutor heaps of questions etc.. as they are the ones who mark it and know what they want to see. Not the best unit but definitely not as bad as some may suggest. You just need to take control of your own learning a little bit more and come to terms with the fact that you will not be spoon feed and some tasks (such as the group task) need to be done really quickly.Anonymous, Semester 2, 2015
The textbook is interesting. But I have to say this subject is really poor organised. For example, we didn't get the data for presentation until a week before it. And they expected us to cover such huge information in 11 minutes (the whole research!!!!). Also,four days before the final exam, we still had a lecture... You really have to work hard for this unit. Look through all the supporting materials. If you have to take this unit (like me), GOOD LUCK!!!Anonymous, Semester 2, 2015
Assessment (2015): Research Report (35%, very high fail rate), Group presentation (2 week preparation time), Multiple choice exam (50%). Tips: Study every day. Make a study group first thing. You have to pass this unit to continue with Psychology at Macquarie. It is very poorly run, information is not communicated well, by anyone, tutors even seem lost.

Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County in case of Selby Battersby & Company v. Van Cor, Inc. and Aetna Casualty & Surety Company and Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine and The General State Authority, No. 1693 April Term, 1974.
Michael A. Madar, Chief Counsel, with him Arnold L. Wainstein, Assistant Counsel, and Richard D. Holahan, Assistant General Counsel, for appellant.
Jerome Poltenstein, for appellees.
President Judge Bowman and Judges Crumlish, Jr., Wilkinson, Jr., Mencer, Rogers and Blatt. Judge Kramer did not participate. Opinion by Judge Rogers.
[ 27 Pa. Commw. Page 204]
The appellee, Van Cor, Inc., a builder, entered into a contract with the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine on January 28, 1971 to construct a building. On April 26, 1971, the appellee entered into a subcontract with the plaintiff below, Selby Battersby & Company, for the construction of certain flooring in the subject building. With the consent of Van Cor, Inc. the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine assigned its rights under the contract to the appellant, The
[ 27 Pa. Commw. Page 205]
General State Authority (GSA).*fn1 Selby Battersby & Company sued Van Cor, Inc. in assumpsit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County seeking damages for improper performance. Van Cor, Inc. then sought to join the College and GSA as additional defendants by filing third party complaints against each. It seeks judgment against GSA in excess of $238,000 for money allegedly due it by contract and unpaid by GSA.
This is GSA's appeal from an order of the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia County dismissing GSA's preliminary objections to Van Cor, Inc.'s complaint against GSA. GSA says that the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia County has no jurisdiction because Section 4 of the Board of Arbitration of Claims Act*fn2 gives exclusive jurisdiction of all claims against the Commonwealth arising from contracts to the Board of Arbitration of Claims. We agree, as we have previously. Kreider v. Commonwealth, 9 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 491, 308 A.2d 642 (1973).
"The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a sovereign entity and can be sued only as it consents to be." Alger-Rau & Associates, Inc. v. General State Authority, 7 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 71, 73, 298 A.2d 916, 917 (1973). When waiving its immunity with respect to contracts, the Commonwealth created statutory limitations, one of which was the establishment of the Board of Arbitration of Claims as the forum for such suits. In the instant case, Van Cor, Inc. consented
[ 27 Pa. Commw. Page 206]
to the College's assignment of the contract to The General State Authority in an agreement which stated in part:
And the undersigned contractor hereby agrees that in the case of all questions and disputes arising between The General State Authority and the Contractor respecting any matter pertaining to said contract or any part thereof, or any breach of said contract arising thereunder, shall be determined by the Board of Arbitration of Claims created by Act No. 193, approved May 20, 1937, P.L. 728, 72 P.S. 4651, its supplements and amendments and in the manner and under the terms and condition as provided therein.
Van Cor, Inc. could not have brought an original action against GSA on its claim as stated in the Court of Common Pleas. It cannot bring an action in that court for the same cause by joining GSA as an additional defendant:
A dispute between the contractor and subcontractor to a contract of which the Commonwealth is also a party necessarily affects the Commonwealth, and falls within the jurisdiction of the Board of Arbitration of Claims to arbitrate claims 'against the Commonwealth arising from contracts [hereafter] entered into [with] the Commonwealth.'*fn3
Brocker Manufacturing & Supply Company, Inc. v. United Bonding & Insurance Company, 8 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 110, 113-14, 301 A.2d 438, 440 (1973).
Van Cor, Inc. argues that, since GSA's preliminary objections said that the lower court had no jurisdiction without saying that the Board of Arbitration of Claims did, it may not point out to this Court that the
[ 27 Pa. Commw. Page 207]
Board had jurisdiction. The question is not who had jurisdiction other than the Court of Common Pleas, but whether that court had jurisdiction. It had none.
And Now, this 22nd day of November, 1976, the order of January 20, 1975 of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County is reversed and the complaint of Van Cor, Inc. against The General State Authority is dismissed.
Reversed. Third party complaint against General State Authority dismissed.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
Because of the private nature of the tradition and because the methods can range so greatly, it is difficult to adequately assess the details of female genital cutting in Africa.
The history of the tradition goes back thousands of years and is often (incorrectly) associated with religious dictates (von der Osten-Sacken & Uwer, 2007). It has long been associated with Islam, though there has been active opposition from many Islamic groups to prove otherwise; the procedure is not mentioned or sanctioned by the Quran (Abdelmagied, Salah, ElTahir, NurEldin, & Shareef, 2005; Abusharaf, 2001). However, it is mentioned in the Hadith, the oral tradition of Muhammad used by the Sunnah Muslim traditions; even here it does not advise for or against the procedure (von der Osten-Sacken & Uwer, 2007).
Still, many groups use religion as a way to explain female genital cutting. Dellenborg (2004) reports that clitoridectomy has been spreading as part of female cultural identity under Islam since the mid-twentieth century. Additionally, illiteracy and lack of access to information has led to the belief by many Muslims that some form of female genital cutting is prescribed for religious purity (von der Osten-Sacken & Uwer, 2007).
Whether a religion dictates the procedure or not, female genital cutting plays an extremely important cultural and social role in many areas. One common association with the procedure is that the removal of the clitoris and other genitalia is a symbol of chastity and purity (von der Osten-Sacken & Uwer, 2007). Theoretically, the removal of the external genitalia makes sexual contact less enjoyable so that a girl is less likely to be tempted by premarital sex. The most severe genital cutting and infibulation also proves a girl's virginity since she has been sewn shut (Morris, 2006). The implication of both of these arguments is that women participate in genital cutting to prove to men that they are virginal and chaste. This is partially true; chastity is, as in many cultures, valued in Muslim societies. However, Dellenborg (2004) and Abusharaf (2001) offer alternative views on the cultural need for genital cutting.
In sharp contrast to the assumption that African women are helplessly at the whim of male dominated society, Abusharaf (2001) argues that some female genital cutting empowers women. He points to the tradition of women carrying out the ritual, explaining that it is an important rite of passage rather than a forced patriarchal custom (Abusharaf, 2001). Along the same lines, Dellenborg (2004) points to the women of Jola society in Senegal, Gambia. These women use clitoridectomy as a rite, initiating women into a female secret society that actually established power for them within their social circle. Dellenborg (2004) explains Western conceptions of femininity and sexuality have difficulty understanding this choice, as our ideas of femininity and sexuality are so drastically different. Yet, male circumcision is common in most westernized nations and it, too, reduces sexual pleasure in efforts to conform to social norms. The Jola have told researchers that clitoridectomy does not relate to their sexuality in a negative way and in fact enriches their lives as women (Dellenborg, 2004). Other rituals, like smoke-bathing and deplation, use heat and pain for purification and do not meet with such adamant arguments (Boddy, 2006).
One account from Sudan explains that the cultural and spiritual importance of the purification ritual maintains the important of the community unit (Boddy, 2006). The woman explains that the Arabic word for womb (rihm) is not usually used; instead, the idiom baytal-wilada, meaning house of childbirth, is used. The implication is that the woman's body, like the high-walled domestic structure used for childbirth, is meant to enclose and protect the value of their kin and family (Boddy, 2006). In this way, the suturing or sewing of the female genitalia is symbolic of the protection of family and family values.
Perhaps the most problematic argument against female genital cutting is the physical issues. Women are physically at risk from the procedure, as are their infants during birth and pregnancy ("Female genital mutilation," 2006). Historically, primitive methods incorporated in the procedures have caused infection and death in many girls. Hemorrhaging from a poorly done surgery is still a major risk where female genital cutting is performed by untrained individuals. Because genital cutting can cause scar tissue around the vaginal opening, giving birth is often problematic for women who have had extensive cutting performed on them. This puts infants at risk if labors are longer and puts both mother and child at risk in cases where scar tissue is cut away by midwives (Boddy, 2006).
Finally, the political significance of female genital cutting should be mentioned, as it ties in to the cultural and social aspects of the rite. Over the past century, missionaries and other colonial powers have observed female genital cutting with concern. A number of attempts to outlaw the procedure, in particular the most drastic methods of infibulation, were instituted beginning in the 1920s (Boddy, 2006). Some, like the work of Mabel Woolf, aimed to create safer and less harmful ways to do the procedure; she tried to improve sanitation and introduce safer birthing methods for women who had genital scarring from cutting procedures (Boddy, 2006). While Woolf and others were moderately successful in improving conditions, outlawing infibulation seems to have exacerbated the problems.
As with many areas being colonized, Africa was resistant to "forced" modernism and considered the illegalization of any female genital cutting as an attempt to control and diminish their cultural identities (Dellenborg, 2004). As a result, many fiercely defend female genital cutting expressly to preserve cultural identity that is threatened by imperialism (Abusharaf, 2001). It is also possible that these attempts to get rid of the ritual have caused an increase in its use. According to a study of more than 28,000 women in Africa in 2006, 97% or arab women, 96% of Nubian Sudanese women, 99% of Embu women in Kenya, and 98% of Bini women in Nigeria have undergone some form of genital cutting ("Female genital mutilation" 2006). Because numbers for individual ethnic groups are not available for earlier periods, it is difficult to compare. However, UNICEF estimated that 93% of Sudanese women were circumcised in 2000-2001, compared to 89% in 1979. While this may or may not be related to the backlash from imperialist pressures, it is nevertheless obvious that genital cutting has persevered into the twenty first century.
3. Literature Review
What is the status of female genital cutting today? The answer depends on where and how it is performed and the level of genital cutting. The cultural, social, and religious risks and benefits must be considered together. Closely related to these is the psychological risk that the procedure has on girls. This, obviously, can be linked to the methods used and the social expectations. Physical risks and methodologies still range from abhorrent to strictly medical. Together, the outcomes for each individual girl are comprised of these numerous factors, addressed in the literature through scientific study as well as through individual or group case studies.
Most available literature argues that the cultural, social, and religious implications of female genital cutting do not contribute to the well being of girls as they enforce ideals of patriarchy, inferiority, and poor self-worth. However, the current climate of many individual communities and tribes is that self-worth is defined by their place as an important part of the group. Female genital cutting may be a part of that and young women who do not participate may suffer psychologically as a result.
Morris (2006) argues that the important differentiation between cultural and personal well begin should be that it is a choice of the individual. In most female genital cutting, the individual does not make the choice. Instead, parents make the choice for girls and subject them to the procedure at whatever level is available and deemed appropriate. In areas where medical advances are not available, Morris (2006) argues that the trauma of undergoing such pain at the hands of one's parents is psychologically damaging to young girls and has permanent effects. So concerned about their child and their family's place in their culture and social structure, parents are willing to risk legal repercussions in many cases just to make sure that their daughter meets the religious, spiritual, and cultural norms expected (Morris, 2006).
Due to the modernization of many areas, many families have access to medical equipment within the home or in their home village. Since regulation has not yet caught up with advancements in many areas, this makes it possible for surgical procedures like infibulation to be carried out in homes, by doctors even in areas where infibulation and other drastic genital cutting has been outlawed (Morris, 2006).
The research of von der Osten-Sacken and Uwer (2007) found that men are rarely involved in the process of female genital cutting. In fact, they cite that…[continue]

(Kalev, 2004, p. 339) Rarely does FGM simply involve a symbolic small cut on the hood of the clitoris, as it misnomer Female Circuscision would imply. More often it involves clitoridectomy. This is anatomically equivalent to amputation of the penis. Clitoridectomy is often followed by a more
Routine Infant Male Circumcision While female genital mutilation has garnered a great deal of attention in recent years, male genital mutilation or circumcision has been for the most part overlooked in research reports.

This will involve a summarization and critical analysis of the current literature and reliable published evidence in this area
Soldierly Perception of Masculinity in Imperial Germany 1880-1914 According to the researchers, from last two centuries shifts have been experienced in Germany's war system. New forms of masculinity arose in 1945, when Germany was totally surrendered and so did the regime of Nazi's. The regime of Nazi's was a heroic one and after World War II new forms of masculinity arose in Germans. War system is a vital determiner of masculinity;

CLAXTON - Heading down the home stretch of the regular season, the Claxton Tigers are once again in position to make a run at the state playoffs. The Tigers have fallen just one win shy of the postseason in each of the last four years, but they now have a weapon in junior running back Zachaeus Grant that is breaking many games in Claxton's favor.
CHULA - Bulloch Academy rolled up a 20-0 first-half lead and never looked back as the Gators notched their first region victory with a 40-7 beat down of Tiftarea Academy here Friday night.
SYLVANIA - In what was supposed to be a meeting of region powers, one team had its lights knocked right out.
CLAXTON - Zachaeus Grant ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries - all in the first half - and added an interception return for a touchdown as Claxton rolled past Savannah Country Day 54-0 on the Tigers' homecoming night.
"Red Dog! Red Dog!"
BROOKLET - For the first time this season, the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets will travel outside of Bulloch County when they face Brantley County in big game for SEB's playoff hopes.
SYLVANIA - The Screven County Gamecocks hope to keep their surprising season heading in the right direction as they host Westside, Augusta tonight.
PORTAL - Of all the things that the Portal Panthers have had to endure this season, the biggest test might still be in front of them.
When four-year starting quarterback Michael Peel graduated after last season, the Claxton Tigers knew that they would be in need of a new offensive leader.
The dream season of the Statesboro girls volleyball season came to an end Wednesday night in Forsyth as the Lady Blue Devils dropped a 2-1 decision to Mary Persons in the first round of the GHSA state playoffs.
SYLVANIA - What started off as a new beginning for Screven County football has quickly escalated into a full-blown Cinderella season.
For a team that was created less than two years ago, 12 goals is a pretty big list of expectations.
DUBLIN - Bulloch Academy won its first game in GISA Class AAA Final Four tournament Saturday at Southern Pines Regional Park but then saw its spectacular season come to a heartbreaking end by the slimmest of margins.
Bulloch Academy found out Friday night what the phrase "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" really means.
PORTAL - In a battle between Tigers and Panthers, only one looked like a fierce predator.
Southeast Bulloch's football season came to a somber close Friday night, being defeated 35-7 by Worth County in the first round of the 3A ...
Screven shocked the state of Georgia last week, leaving them a tough act to follow in this year's playoffs.
Even with a region championship slipping through their grasp, Southeast Bulloch still has one attainable goal from the beginning of the season.
Just as time always seems to do, football season goes by way too fast.
Welcome to the first ever Statesboro Herald All-County softball team! It's been a long time coming in my opinion.
There are lows, then there are low-lows - then there's rock bottom.
The Portal Panthers have been through a lot this season.
The Screven County Gamecocks (9-1, 7-0 Region 4-AA) defeated Jefferson County (9-1, 6-1 Region 4-AA) 49-35 Friday night to win the region outright and setup ...
Alexander 49, Douglas County 42, OT
Though not the oldest rivalry in the state of Georgia, Jefferson-Screven has come to mean more over the past two seasons.

With the right axe, she swung at his face, but the knife was on its way to point at her again, and he leaned back. The axe chopped at his wrist, cracking the ulna bone. He screamed and staggered back, dropping the knife, clutching the wound. Blood streamed out, splashing the floor and his trousers. Isabel came at him again, raising both axes.

This invention relates satellite attitude control, in particular, satellite attitude determination using GPS and intersatellite line of sight communications.
The attitude (roll, pitch and yaw) of an orbiting satellite is controlled to maintain a correct orientation of devices, such as solar panels to the sun and antenna to the earth or space craft. The common way to sense attitude is with object sensors, most commonly star sensors. Star trackers are expensive complicated devices.
An object of the present invention is to determine the attitude of a satellite without on board dedicated attitude determining devices, such as star trackers.
According to the invention, the position of two or more satellites in an orbit is transmitted to one satellite. The one satellite determines the azimuth and elevation to the satellites transmitting their position. The one satellite determines the difference in position in the orbit between it and each of the other satellites using its own position and the transmitted position. It then uses that difference and the azimuth and elevation to each of the other satellites to determine its yaw, pitch and roll.
According to the present invention, satellites determine their position using an on-board GPS receiver and transmit the position to the one satellite by a line of sight (LOS) intersatellite communications link, such as a laser communications system. The one satellite has receiver for each satellite that is oriented in two axis to establish the link and the orientation of the receiver provides the azimuth and elevation to the satellite providing its own position information.
A feature of the present invention, is that it can be deployed in satellite systems that already use an on board GPS and that transmit and receive data, telephony, over a line sight communications link to provide uniform satellite to earth links. Another feature, the invention eliminates the need for star trackers and considerably lowers the cost of each satellite by using information and equipment already on the satellite for other purpose, i.e., the GPS and communications link hardware.
Other objects, benefits and features will become more apparent in light of the following discussion of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a function diagram of a system embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a typical satellite and the two dimensional range of motion of an intersatellite line of sight communciations link to other satellites.
FIG. 1 shows a plurality of satellites Sn, assumed to be in an orbit. Each satellite contains its own on board GPS receiver and an intersatellite communication link ISL, such as a laser transceiver system, for relaying data and other information between the satellites that is transmitted from one location to another location on the earth. Each ISL comprises a plurality of gimbaled communication link input/output devices 10, such as a mirror or telescope with a laser based system. The devices 10 are located on the surface of the satellite, as depicted in FIG. 2. The input/output devices 10 can be pointed at a satellite, i.e., oriented in two dimensions (elevation and azimuth) relative to the satellite to establish communications with another satellite. It is assumed that the orientation can be resolved with a resolver to produce signals Eln and Azn. In practice each satellite Sn has a plurality of these lens or directional antennas 10 around its surface, as shown only for satellite So enabling communication with satellites three dimensionally simply by pointing the input/output or lens to make the communications connection without rotating the satellite, enabling the satellites attitude relative to the earth to controlled independently for communications and orientation of solar panels.
Each satellite comprises what is shown for satellite 0, which for this discussion is sometimes called the "home" satellite, the other satellites being the "reference" satellites. As stressed previously, in actuality each satellite is a home satellite in determining its own attitude using the GPS position of the other or reference satellites and the line of sight bearing to the reference satellite, which is provided by the orientation of the lens 10.
Each satellite transmits its GPS position, line of sight (LOS), by sighting another satellite with a lens 10. Using satellite SO as example, it receives, signals Pos,1-n, by an associated lens 10 for each satellite and likewise sends its GPS position back to the other satellites using the same lens. Each lens 10 produces an elevation and azimuth signal Azn, E1n, that represents the LOS to the other satellite. Those signals are applied to a signal processor 12, which is programmed, as explained below, to perform a coordinate transformation that yield the bearing B1-n, to each satellite. The GPS on satellite SO produce the local or home GPS position signal, Pos0, which, in addition to being applied to the lens 10 for transmission to the other satellites, is subtracted from received positions for the other satellites. The difference between the GPS position of the home satellite and the position of the remote or what may be called "reference" satellite, is position vector, signal rn, in earth or GPS reference coordinates to the reference satellite. The difference signal is applied to the signal processor 12 produce attitude signals (yaw, pitch and roll) that are supplied to an attitude control system 14 that uses those signals to control the satellite's attitude devices, such as momentum wheels, to regulate the satellite's attitude.
The signal processor 12 is programmed to carry out the following attitude determination process using the signals generated as described above. (Well known, signal processor components such as a central processing unit, memories, clocks and such are not shown.) The angles Eln, and Azn specify the direction to the target or reference satellite. This Cartesian coordinate conversion relates the gimbal azimuth (Az) and elevation (El) angle deflections to the line of sight (LOS) unit vector (b): ##EQU1## The direction to target satellites is also specified in an earth referenced frame by the position vector ri, which represents the difference between the GPS measured position of satellite 1 and satellite 0. The earth referenced position vectors ri are converted to unit vectors by dividing each by its vector magnitude: ##EQU2## The direction cosine matrix A that defines the spacecraft attitude is obtained by first forming two matrices--R and B. The matrix R is formed by concatenating the n earth referenced unit vectors:
R= r1 r2 r3. . . rn ! (3)
The number of unit vectors n is determined by the number of laser communication ("com") systems resident on a satellite. A minimum of 2 are required for attitude determination. Similarly, the matrix B is formed by concatenating the body referenced unit vectors (both R and B are 3�n matrices):
B= b1 b2 b3...bn ! (4)
Next, the matrices R and B are decomposed using the singular value decomposition (SVD). The singular value decomposition is a mathematical tool often used for analyzing a mapping from one vector space (such as an earth referenced vector) into another vector space (such as a body reference vector). The SVD of matrices R and B are given by the expressions ##EQU3## where U1 and U2 are 3�3 ##EQU4## are 3�n, and V'1 and V'2 are n�n. The matrices U1,U2,V'1, and V'2 are unitary (i.e. the columns are orthogonal and have unit magnitude). The matrices ##EQU5## are diagonal with real non-negative elements. The elements of ##EQU6## are known as singular values.
After the R and B matrices have been formed and decomposed using the SVD, the direction cosine matrix A can be obtained by multiplying the unitary matrix U2 with the transpose of the unitary matrix U1.
A=u2 u'1 (5)
The attitude or direction cosine matrix A has three row and three columns as shown in equation 6. ##EQU7## The elements of the attitude matrix can be used to derive the satellite roll, pitch, and yaw angles. The satellite pitch attitude θ is calculated using equation 7. ##EQU8## The satellite roll and yaw computations are defined by equations 8 and 9 respectively. ##EQU9## Alternatively, attitude can be described using quaternions. Quaternions are employed to avoid computational singularites when the pitch attitude θ approaches 90 degrees. An attitude quaternion q contains four parameters ##EQU10## where s,u,v,w are defined in terms of the attitude matrix A according to equations 11-14. ##EQU11##
With the benefit of the previous discussion of the invention, one of ordinary skill in the art may be able to modify the invention, and the functions and functional elements described above, in whole or in part without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention.

It could be next fall before a Kingston woman finds out how much time she'll have to spend in federal prison for her role in a pill mill case.
Stephanie Puckett pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute oxycodone last year.
She was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 13, but the hearing was reset on Monday to Oct. 10, 2017.
According to court records, Puckett worked at several pain clinics in and around Knoxville from mid-2012 to March 2015.
When Kayden Christopher was first diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, his family had little hope for his future.
Today, thanks to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, they had a big reason to count their blessings this holiday season.
Matt Christopher said his 15-month-old son's tumor, while still inoperable because of its location, has shrunk thanks to powerful chemotherapy treatment at the famous hospital in Memphis.
After spending nearly 14 months at the Roane County Jail, Tammy Rosado was moved to a state prison earlier this month to finish out her five-year sentence on a voluntary manslaughter conviction.
"I'm glad," Ashley Griffith said.
Rosado shot Griffith's father, James Cobb, on April 4, 2012. He died a few days later at a hospital.
Rosado, who had been in a romantic relationship with Cobb, was charged with second-degree murder.

After the sweeping Sunbright last Tuesday night, the Rockwood basketball teams return home to host the Tigers in Tigers vs. Tigers 2.
Here is more information on last Tuesday's games in Sunbright:
Rockwood 60, Sunbright 37: Rockwood wanted to put on a show against Sunbright, and its offense took center stage in the matchup.
The Oliver Springs Bobcats basketball squad found a flair for the dramatic as of late, rallying from a four point deficit at one point in the final period to eke out a 50-48 thriller over the Pigeon Forge Tigers on Wednesday afternoon to conclude the annual Bobcat Thanksgiving Classic.

A New England couple that hosts a "hit" cable television program on hunting has decided to make Roane County their home base.
Steve and Robin Dunshee were both introduced to the sport of hunting as children. When she was just 9 years old Robin's parents took her into the field for the first time to experience bird hunting near her New Hampshire home. In Steve's case a church elder in his hometown of Cape Cod, Mass., took him under his wing and invited him on a turkey hunt.
In the Bible, Jesus performed a miracle by feeding 5,000 men — not counting women and children — with only five loaves of bread and two fish.
Walnut Hill Baptist Church Outreach Leader Faye Daniels isn't necessarily performing miracles, but she is doing a lot with a little, as the small church in Harriman feeds and clothes hundreds of area residents each week with donations alone.
Former Rockwood Public Works Director Tom Pierce quietly entered a guilty plea on several charges this month related to both purchases he made while a city employee and his August arrest stemming from allegations he may be planning to harm a former Rockwood official.
"Given the facts of both cases and the offer being a diversion, it was something Mr. Pierce could not pass up to run the risk of conviction in all the cases," said John McFarland, a Kingston attorney representing Pierce.

The emergence of bacteria that are able to resist antibiotics has been damaging to medicine, which is made worse by the lack of new pharmaceuticals being developed to tackle these superbugs.
However, research conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could offer potential for treating these drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Using a gene-editing system that can disable any target gene, the team have demonstrated the ability to selectively kill bacteria carrying harmful genes. This could stop cells that spread antibiotic resistance or that trigger disease.
Reported in Nature Biotechnology, the study built on previous work conducted by Timothy Lu, an associate professor of biological engineering and electrical engineering and computer science. The research identified multiple genes that can work together to make bacteria more vulnerable to antibiotics as a different approach to combating the problem.
Professor Lu hopes that both technologies will lead to new drugs to help fight the growing crisis posed by drug-resistant bacteria.
"This is a pretty crucial moment when there are fewer and fewer new antibiotics available, but more and more antibiotic resistance evolving," he said. "We've been interested in finding new ways to combat antibiotic resistance, and these papers offer two different strategies for doing that."

michellem6 Review
love my new stools
These are great stools, especially for the price, have looked at similar ones in stores for twice the price & not as nice. Happy that the color was warmer with the bronze hi light, looks great in my kitchen when mixed with the wood stools.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? they are metal, grey but with bronze hi-lights
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. sturdy, heavy & not wobbly
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very good

Burger King Holdings Inc. (BKC) expects unfavorable foreign exchange rates, primarily related to the Euro and British Pound, to cut earnings for the fourth quarter of 2010 by 1 to 2 cents per share.
For the full year, currency exchange translation is expected to have a neutral to a slightly negative effect on earnings. This contrasts with the prior guidance of a beneficial currency impact on fourth quarter earnings and a slightly positive currency impact for the fiscal year.
Burger King is a global brand with $15 billion in sales, and 12,115 restaurants in 74 countries. Nearly 90% of Burger King's restaurants are franchised. Presently, the company is on an expansion mode eyeing big countries, such as Japan, Turkey and Russia. More geographic diversification begets more risk of currency translation.
During the third quarter of 2010, Burger King derived around 26% company-owned revenues from EMEA/APAC. Germany, Europe's largest economy, was the sole international market contributing 10% or more of Burger King's total revenues. Burger King has 20% company-owned restaurants in Germany.
Basically, with the German economy as well as other European countries reeling under the Eurozone crisis, management anticipates reduction in earnings. To battle it out, Burger King has been looking to refranchise several of its company-owned restaurants in Germany over the next several quarters.
However, we expect this negative impact of the Euro to be partially offset by currency strength in the Latin America segment, as the Mexican Peso (and others) remains above year-ago levels.
Burger King's closest competitor McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) derived around 42% company-owned revenues from Europe and more than 70% company-owned sales from outside U.S. during the first quarter of 2010. However, we expect McDonald's to face less volatility from exchange rate since the company has approximately 45% of its debt denominated in foreign currencies to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations.
Burger King lowered its restaurant growth target from the range of 250 to 300 to 230 to 250 due to the closure of 55 restaurants in Israel in May 2010. The shutdown is also going to hurt Burger King's fourth quarter results due to reduced royalties. However, management commented that closing down the stores in Israel has no relation with the growth plans in Europe and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Its worldwide net restaurant growth rate is one of the highest in the industry. Last year Burger King opened 360 net new restaurants around the world, over 90% were outside of the U.S.
Shares were down 2.3% at $18.67 on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. We think the stock provides relative safety and moderate growth while being exposed to faster-growing international markets. We currently have a short term Hold recommendation on Burger King.

System Map
I am looking for a script or software that will map my system on the php level. Kind of like a spider that follows includes() not html links. I would like to be able to select a file and see all files that are included/required in the file. Also be able to select a file and see what other files the selected one is included/required in.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

it sounds like all you'd need to do is parse each file for a include line, and then append the include line to the current directory.
How to implement this, I'm not sure. But I'm sure it can be done.fraudservers.com - for sale!
