Former international Guard Decosta Walbrook (G) had an amazing evening in the last round for Yorks Crushers and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 6.
The guard had a double-double of 32 points and twelve rebounds, while his team crushed Freetown T. (#8, 1-4) with 23-point margin 90-67. Yorks Crushers maintains the 7th position in Antiguan ABBA. Yorks Crushers is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-3 record. In the team's last game Walbrook had a remarkable 61.9% from 2-point range. It's his second year at Yorks Crushers and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Decosta Walbrook averages this season 15.4ppg and 8.6rpg.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was Canadian center Torey Fassett (198-C) of second-ranked Flyers. Fassett impressed basketball fans with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course Flyers cruised to a 85-73 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Stingerz (#6, 2-2). This victory allowed Flyers to move up to second position in the standings. His team lost just one game this season, while they won 5 matches. Fassett is a newcomer at Flyers and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.
The third best performed player last round was American Joshua Minner (198-G-90) of Cutie Ovals Ojays (#4). Minner scored 28 points and grabbed ten rebounds. He was a key player of Cutie Ovals Ojays, leading his team to a 99-53 easy win against the lower-ranked HS Outlaws (#9, 1-5). Cutie Ovals Ojays is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 4-1 record is not that bad... Minner has a very solid season. In 5 games in Antigua he scored 27.0ppg.

Judge Hanen, however, showed his hand by explaining that the president had engaged in a “complete abdication” of the law. Rather than enforcing the law, Hanen saw Obama’s actions as making law: The executive is “is not just rewriting the laws; he is creating them from scratch.” This is the role of Congress, not the president.
So Blackman thinks that Judge Hanen’s real objection to DAPA is based on the Constitution, not the APA. He may well be right. But then why didn’t Judge Hanen rule on the constitutional merits? Probably because if he had, the opinion would have been even weaker than it was.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela formally protested to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana for the incursion into its jurisdictional waters of two seismic exploration vessels, Ramfor of the Bahamas flag and Delta Monarch of the Trinidad and Tobago flag, both hired by the transnational ExxonMobil and whose crew claimed to have a permit from the Guyanese government.
Through a Note of Protest, the third so far this month, the Venezuelan Executive reiterated on Thursday its categorical rejection of unilateral and arbitrary activities of exploration in maritime areas of Venezuela, which the Republic of Guyana has been facilitating to transnationals of hydrocarbons.
The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela informed on Monday that the Bolivarian National Navy, carrying out its customary patrols for the Venezuelan Atlantic facade, corresponding to the day 12/22/2018, in charge of the Kariña Oceanic Patrolman (PO-14), spotted the unprecedented presence in jurisdictional waters of Venezuela of two seismic exploration vessels. The referred ships were at the coordinates Latitude 09 ° 17 ‘4 “N Longitude 058 ° 15’ 7” W and Latitude 09 ° 15 ‘0 “Longitude 058 ° 17’ 3” W, in the maritime projection of the Orinoco Delta being indubitable under sovereignty of Venezuela.
Faced with this flagrant violation of national sovereignty, the corresponding international protocols were applied, acting with the prudence which abbandoned the Guyanese government when unduly authorized such exploration, the General Secretary of the United Nations, António Guterres, was notified.
Previously, the Government of Venezuela expressed to Guyana its strongest protest for the Notice of the Navigators N ° 31 (2018) dated December 6, 2018, which indicates that the company ExxonMobil through its subsidiary Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (Eepgl) that day and until December 31 began, in what they falsely call the maritime zone of Guyana, a seismic survey campaign with the presence of two vessels.
In this regard, the Venezuelan Executive reiterated its categorical objection based on the most elementary principles of international law. In that sense, Venezuela proposes to the government of Guyana, the resumption of direct negotiations, by mutual agreement for the coming year and with the assistance of the Secretary of the United Nations.

Ndudi Godwin Elumelu: Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, was born on the 23rd of February, 1965. He hails from Onicha-Ukwu in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. He had his education at the popular Yaba Tech (Yaba College of Technology), Yaba, Lagos where he obtained a National Diploma in Business Administration in 1989. He later bagged a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Accounting & Finance in 1993 before his Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) with specialization in finance in 2001. Mr. Elumelu has attended many courses both locally and overseas, some of which are credit analysis course by H. Pierson Associates Ltd., Finance Africa summit in South Africa organized by Philip Consulting, 2nd Nigeria International Insurance Summit and other courses in Europe. He is a member of the board of directors in many companies, some of which are Tenoil Petroleum and Gas Company Limited, Structural Trust Fund Limited, Exchange Trade Limited, MunGen Consults Limited, Transglobal Communications Limited, Pet – Jibson & Company Limited, Peton Engineering Limited, and Pet – N Chemicals amongst many others. He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Bankers.
As a result of his knack for excellence, he left to set up Transglobal Investment Ltd., an outfit which consists of eminent Nigerians and seasoned businessmen of proven integrity. The firm handles all classes of insurance business amongst other services. Before engineering the incorporation of Transglobal Investments Ltd., he was a staff of Gulf Bank where he was saddled with the responsibility of management of credit, marketing, treasury and other services. On leaving Gulf Bank Ltd., he joined Inter Capital Ltd., an investment outfit where he was the Head of Credit.
He was elected into the Federal House of Representatives in 2007 to represent the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Costituency. However, prior to his election, Hon Elumelu had tried his luck first in 2003, but some high wire politcal intrigues had not only pitched him against the then Governor of Delta state, Chief James Ibori but had equally caused him to lose to Hon. Pascal Adigwe. He returned in 2007, much wiser and more determined, but met with the same old forces, which not only pitched him against his own blood brother, Peter Elumelu, but also tried to deny him the opportunity to represent his people, on the alleged grounds that he had snubbed a lucrative offer from the godfather himself, Chief Ibori, to serve in the Delta State cabinet. Part of his problems with the then establishment had also allegedly emanated from the fact that he was seen as an Abuja politician and had equally been regarded as a major fixture of the then Godswill Obielum political structure, which gave the Ibori machinery a real scare in 2007. After the defeat of Obielum at the Ogwashi Uku governorship primaries, the structure was allegedly taken over by Mrs Mariam Ali, wife of the former PDP national Chairman Ahmadu Ali, who was herself humiliated at the Senatorial elections by the Ibori machinery which returned incumbent Senator, Patrick Osakwe on the platform of the Accord Party.
Hon. Elumelu suddenly found himself alone and had to proceed to the Court where triumphed as INEC declared him the winner of the April 2007 Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency seat. However, all that is in the past now, as Hon. Elumelu enjoys a very cordial relationship with the present administration in Delta state as indeed he does with all and sundry and even Godswill Obielum himself has already settled his old scores with Governor Uduaghan and is now one of the strongest campaigners of a second tern for the governor in Delta North.
Sice his election, he has been a member of several high brow committees in the House including: Committee Membership: Diaspora, Drugs, Narcotics & Financial Crimes, Interior Affairs, National Security & Intelligence, and the House Committee on Power, where he served as Chairman).
His anti-corruption stance to expose the ill perpetrated in governance, which is the cog in the wheel of development of our great country is in line with the sermon of zero tolerance on corruption by the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
He was seen by many as a role model, a catalyst for change and a likely whistle blower on malpractices and injustice in the system at the initial stages of his Power Committee activities. He and his team appeared to be passionate and resolute to ensure that through their probe of over $16 billion expended on electricity projects between 1999 and 2007 without tangible outcome, will bring about positive solutions in addressing our problems. Hon Elumelu had stood upright in his performance as Chairman of the Committee on Power where he demonstrated a high level of patriotism, and brought his managerial acumen and intellectual prowess to bear on the assignment.
This was evident in the manner he moderated the probe on the power sector, where he deposited logical and tasking questions and occasionally guided those in the box from derailing in their presentations. He accommodated the contributions of others with high sense of humility, integrity and sincerity to ensure that they were on track and focused in making a positive difference to correct the mistakes of the past.
He was well admired in those days that he was even nicknamed by admirers as “Mr. Due-Process and Transparency”, but it was also reported that he also received several death threats to his life as a result of his progressive actions, but this did not deter him from carrying out his legislative duties and freely relating with all and sundry with equanimity, which depicts his moral upbringing.
However, it was this same Power Committe assignment that was to cause Hon Ndudi Elumelu a lot of nightmares as he was suddenly accussed from both within the House of Representative and outside of connivance, fraud and high handedness amongst others.
Hon Elumelu, Senator Nicolas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon. Jibo Mohammed, amongst 9 others were originally arraigned on Friday October 30, 2009 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a 130 count charge over an alleged N5.2billion Rural Electrification Scam The charges were separated thus: The three lawmakers among them were originally and jointly facing a 62 count charge while the other six accused are jointly facing a 68 count charge.
The three lawmakers are: Hon. Godwin Ndidi Elumelu, Senator Nicholas Yahaya Ugbane and Hon. Jibo Mohammed. The other accused are Engr. Samuel Ibi Gekpe, Dr. Abdullahi Aliyu, Simon Kirdi Nanle, Engr. Lawrence Kayode Orekoya, Abdulsamad Garba Jahun and Barrister Kayode Oyedeji.
In 2010, The EFCC, presisely on Thursday October 14th, 2010, re-arraigned former Senate Committee Chairman on Power, Senator Nicholas Ugbane, his House of Representatives counterpart, Hon. Godwin Elumelu, and Hon Jibo Mohammed at the Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court, Abuja, before Justice Abimbola Banjoko on a fresh 65 count charge bordering on defrauding the government in the Rural Electrification Agency project. They were reprtedly granted bail and the case is said to still be on-going but that has not deterred Hon. Elumelu from seeking for re-election in the April 2011 polls, despite reports in some quarters that the EFCC is poised to scuttle the political ambitions of those still under investigation or in litigation with the Commission.
Infact because of his great interests in youth and women empowerment, and the Energy sector in particular and nation building in general, he has been propelled to remain courageously vital in legislative activities in the hallowed chambers which has distinguished him as a leader with the interest of the downtrodden at heart.
To be sure, the Hon. Godwin Ndudi Elumelu campaign has been hinged on four themes, which have featured prominently in his electioneering campaign prior to his election into the House of Representatives in April 2007 and this time around. The themes according to Elumelu’s manifesto listed Economic Empowerment of Underprivileged Women, Youths and Farmers; Moral Probity Through Respect For Traditional Institutions; Determination to Improve Living standards of the People; as well as Infrastructural Transformation of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
Amongst all these, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) projects is the one that has visibly spread across many parts of his constituency and gulped a large chunk of the constituency project funds. The others are not far behind.
Elumelu in his stewardship publication tagged: ‘The Elumelu Stewardship” is said to have influenced the following constituency projects in the federal budget.
It is indeed rare to see a politician who will come out to list his constituency projects and even add costs to them as Hon. Elumelu has done with his own projects and for this, he is well endeared by the people of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, even though there is an important school of thought which still believe that some of his project costs were highly inflated.
In fact his popularity amongst his constituents led recently to his being confered with the prestigious title of Odozi Ani (meaning ‘the one who makes things better’) of Oko, in Oshimili North LGA of Delat State, in recognition of the good works he has reportedly done for the people of Oko. This is in addition to the titles he has received from Idumuje-Ugboko, Okpanam and other communites in the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
Incidentally, his main challenger for the position, Alanza Uche Ugbomah, himself a staunch PDP stalwarth, now contesting under the platform of the Accord Party and a strong ally of the PDP, Delta state chairman Chief Peter Nwaoboshi, is from Oko. Many analysts have opined that the entrant of Mr. Ugbomah into the race may not be unconnected with the expectation that the EFCC may spring a suprise on the outcome of the election, but with the seeming decision of the anti-graft Commission to remain silent on the fate of those in Court and under investigation, especially at this election period, it remains to be seen how far the gamble to challenge Hon. Ndudi Elumelu will go, because he is by far the most favored candidate to win the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency again.
Yes I have read the things he has done but in all the places he emssioned I still not satisfied because he did not do anything to the town where the Mother come from I am surprised that he can not even menssion any from there and where he and his siblings were brought up I wish my people will remenber that this man who happend to be their son too did not regard them pls I am useing this midium to ask Mr Elumelu that ebo na bi a mu nwa do not forget Onicha Ugbo is also your town look my dear brother if you are being chased out of Onicha Uku there is no other place you will run to if ont Onicha Ugbo so pls if you are voted again which I know my people will not abandon you pls try to help us. Thanks and God bless you.
The Constituency projects Ndudi Elumelu claim to have sited at Ogwashi – Ukwu is fruadulent, falsehood intend to deceive the people. where, in the name of God, did he bulit one block of computer lab with accessories?
Elumelu has done nothing for the people of Ebu Oshimili North, it time to vote for the man that will recognise us, Alanza Uche Ugboma.
I have tried repeatedly to get intouch with ndudi Elumelu all the way from US but all in vain.In United states of America,in a second I will get to speak to all those that I voted for .Why is Nigeriann democracy different from other parts of the world.Elumelu needs to visit Ebu and see how my home town is left with nothing.the hospital is in shamble and schools have no chairs or laboratory for the students.Ebu is being marginalised .Elumelu you have done nothing for my home towne.
please my dear fellow deltans, i am beging IG to come and prosecute Fred Ajudue, for the killing of our youth in Ibusa, please this man has finish us with criminal tricks.

incidentally, his main challenger for the position, alanza uche ugbomah, himself a staunch pdp stalwarth, now contesting under the platform of the accord party and a strong ally of the pdp, delta state chairman chief peter nwaoboshi, is from oko. many analysts have opined that the entrant of mr. ugbomah into the race may not be unconnected with the expectation that the efcc may spring a suprise on the outcome of the election, but with the seeming decision of the anti-graft commission to remain silent on the fate of those in court and under investigation, especially at this election period, it remains to be seen how far the gamble to challenge hon. ndudi elumelu will go, because he is by far the most favored candidate to win the aniocha/oshimili federal constituency again.
yes i have read the things he has done but in all the places he emssioned i still not satisfied because he did not do anything to the town where the mother come from i am surprised that he can not even menssion any from there and where he and his siblings were brought up i wish my people will remenber that this man who happend to be their son too did not regard them pls i am useing this midium to ask mr elumelu that ebo na bi a mu nwa do not forget onicha ugbo is also your town look my dear brother if you are being chased out of onicha uku there is no other place you will run to if ont onicha ugbo so pls if you are voted again which i know my people will not abandon you pls try to help us. thanks and god bless you.
the constituency projects ndudi elumelu claim to have sited at ogwashi – ukwu is fruadulent, falsehood intend to deceive the people. where, in the name of god, did he bulit one block of computer lab with accessories?
elumelu has done nothing for the people of ebu oshimili north, it time to vote for the man that will recognise us, alanza uche ugboma.
i have tried repeatedly to get intouch with ndudi elumelu all the way from us but all in vain.in united states of america,in a second i will get to speak to all those that i voted for .why is nigeriann democracy different from other parts of the world.elumelu needs to visit ebu and see how my home town is left with nothing.the hospital is in shamble and schools have no chairs or laboratory for the students.ebu is being marginalised .elumelu you have done nothing for my home towne.
please my dear fellow deltans, i am beging ig to come and prosecute fred ajudue, for the killing of our youth in ibusa, please this man has finish us with criminal tricks.

Safety bars are standard on all Houdini hatches.
The world renowned and instantly recognisable Houdini deck hatch has been in production for over 50 years.
There are few marinas in the world where you cannot find boats fitted with Houdini hatches. Houdini hatches are robustly constructed using quality materials and are fitted with toughened glass. When compared to acrylic glazing, used in most deck hatches, toughened glass will not scratch as easily or suffer UV degradation.
This means that the hatch will maintain its appearance and give many years of trouble free service. Houdini hatches enjoy a reputation for being functional, watertight and economically priced. The most popular sizes are Model 3, often referred to as the ‘Mini Hatch’ and Model 5, the ‘Super 50 Hatch’. With an above deck height of a mere 25mm these hatches are extremely streamlined and cause minimum obstruction on the deck.

The course aims at providing knowledge, skills and competences to develop qualified human resources, specialised in animal care, husbandry and welfare, able to operate in international different contexts.
Attendance to teaching activities is mandatory: to take the final exam, the student must have attended at least 50% of the lecture hours and at least 75% of the laboratory hours.
Courses of the 3rd year are organised in study plans focused on the wild animal’s and the lab animal’s care. Specificity of the two study plans are presented in this video: how to choose the curriculum.
Analyze, understand and apply the relevant laws on the welfare of wild and laboratory animals. Learn and develop skills to understand and discuss the ethical dimensions of animal care and welfare in all different fields.
The development of essential theoretical and basic practical knowledge and skills in general and organic chemistry and biochemistry, enabling students to follow the subsequent courses.
To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to deal with theoretical and formal problems. To understand the foundation basis of calculus, physics and data management systems.
Learn the concepts of general biology and genetics necessary for the understanding of topics related to the management of animal genetic resources. Acquire the capability to recognize the major animal groups, and understand the evolutionary processes that generated the current diversity of phyla. Acquire knowledge on control of inbreeding and preservation of genetic variability in small groups of animals.
The purpose of the course is to give students a useful knowledge of apparatus and organs of the most common species of wild and laboratory animals. Students will be able to describe and identify as well as understand relationships between organs and the adaptive changes they have undergone during evolution.
To learn the basis of the circulatory, renal, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, reproductive systems physiology in the different vertebrate classes. To understand the main regulatory mechanisms of the oxygen distribution, water and electrolyte balance, acid/base balance. Students will acquire theoretical and practical tools to understand the physiological animals’ adaptation to environmental changes and stressors.
To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize pain and distress in vertebrates. To understand the foundation basis of vertebrate behavior. Students will acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in addressing animal ethological needs and animal training.
The course will provide students with basic knowledge of the main features of virus, bacteria and parasites agents of animal diseases and zoonoses. Students will also acquire basic principles of epidemiology, prevention and biosecurity applied to animal transmissible diseases and zoonoses. Basic general aspects of main infectious and parasitic diseases, even of zoonotic nature, of laboratory and wild captive animals will be presented.
According to the principles of the “5 freedoms”, students will be address to understand what Animal Welfare means. Moreover, they will develop knowledge and skills allowing them to identify the needs of the animals in order to improve their living environment (housing system, environmental conditions, cleanliness) and management. Moreover, they will be skilled to identify rearing conditions that can cause pain and distress and develop strategy to remove them. To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize the environmental impact of animal husbandry and individuate possible control strategies.
To develop theoretical knowledge on the basis of animal nutrition in vertebrates. The course will provide students with opportunities to get knowledge and practical tools useful to assess energy and nutrients requirements of laboratory and wild animal species, feed evaluation and feeding management.
Provide students basic concepts on pharmacology (e.g., pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics) and toxicology (e.g., cellular and target-organ toxicity, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and reproductive toxicology). Provide students basic concepts on anesthesiology, equipment for anesthesia and monitoring, perioperative management, anesthetic emergency management and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
To develop theoretical knowledge on the pattern of reactions of animal organisms to injuries and practical skills to perform the main diagnostic ancillary techniques.
To understand the causes of animal diseases and the mechanisms of cellular and tissue damage and reaction. Students will be able to understand how animals show sign of disease and to follow the main diagnostic ancillary techniques.
To develop skills and knowledge throughout all the sequence of reproductive events in the male and female gender, with emphasis to differences among target species of vertebrates.
Student would also be trained to newborn care and management, neonatal resuscitation, hand rearing techniques, growth evaluation, first care and aid of orphaned animals.
Student would be qualified to assist veterinarians in clinical and surgical procedures and techniques useful in the control of animal reproduction and newborn care.
This course is focused on wild animal behaviour and zoological medicine, addressing the individual and herd medical management. The course incorporates clinical settings, principles of veterinary internal medicine, principles of newborn assistance, and applies them to wild animals in natural and captive environments. Students will also acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in assisting veterinarians during clinical and surgical procedures in wildlife, implementing veterinarian indications for management of wild animals during trauma and in critical condition, provide basic evaluation and first aid to different species of vertebrates.
To recognize relevant behavioral features of the wild species, which could affect their management. To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize problems in adapting to the provided environment in wild animals and to address them. Students will acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in addressing wild animals ethological needs and training.
Students will be able to: transfer the knowledge on the requirements of wild species in nature to the captivity condition, in order to maximize their welfare and health; acquire basic skills on handling, transport requirements, containment methods and enclosure design and management for animals belonging to different taxa; interpret and use cost-accounting models widely used in private and public enterprises directly involved in the management and care of animals, as well as to understand key issues relating to the more common tools of business management control.
To develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling students to recognize presence of main infectious diseases in wild animals as well as possible nutritional and management problems. To evaluate any possible interaction with human activities (i.e. hunting, killing, mistreatment). To apply specific protocols for samples and evidence collections and preservation.
Students will acquire the capability to execute a dissection and/or necropsy aimed to collect information, biological and pathological data as well as samples for ancillary exams. Elements to perform dissections aimed to preserve skeletons will be also explained.
Through this course students are expected to: acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and tools to manage husbandry and welfare of species (among rodents, lagomorphs, birds and fish) involved in scientific research under laboratory conditions; understand the ontogenesis, function and the determinants of the behaviour of species involved in scientific research (rodents, birds and fishes – example species will be given for each taxa); develop theoretical and practical knowledge and skills enabling them to identify normal and abnormal behaviours expressed by species involved in scientific research; acquire theoretical and practical tools useful in addressing laboratory animal ethological needs and training.
The aims of the course are i) to briefly describe the main animal models (e.g. mouse, rat, zebrafish) and how to obtain them (spontaneous vs induced models, transgenic models) and ii) to outline the proper procedures for assisting and performing a necropsy in laboratory animal species. Specific theoretical knowledge and practical skills will be provided to enable students collection of specimen performed avoiding the occurrence of artifacts or post mortem change in the collected tissues, collection of samples appropriated for the intended purpose (i.e. histology, cytology, microbiology, virology, cell cultures, banked tissue, RNA and DNA samples) and adequate in number and amount to provide valid results.
- basic concept on laboratory animal health status monitoring, clinical management, practical handling, drugs and fluids administration, elements of biomedical imaging, record keeping and occupational health and safety. Part of the course will focus on pain assessment, pain score systems, pain management, emergency care, humane endpoints and euthanasia.
- an introductory but solid background to basic surgical principles and procedures, to establish basic surgical skills, to gain knowledge and skills about care of surgical environment and equipment, to acquire basic knowledge about the most common used surgical models.
- basic concepts on in vivo methodologies used in in vivo pharmaco-toxicological preclinical studies. Give students an overview of alternative in vitro methods.
The work opportunities vary depending on the area considered: from the care of wildlife in a controlled environment, for educational, research and preservation purposes, to that of coadjutor in support of veterinarians or expert in the monitoring and care of animals intended for recreational, research, educational, sports and assistance activities. In addition, the training received will allow graduates to connect and integrate the actions promoted by more specialized professionals (veterinarian, biologist, zoologist, etc.) who work in the field of animal care.
2. SAT score report with a score greater or equal to 1500 (50%) for the score scale up to 2400 or a score greater or equal to 1000 (50%) for the score scale up to 1600 (newly revised SAT); this certification is required by 28 February and mandatory only for EU citizens and non-EU citizens legally residing in Italy. Non-EU citizens not residing in Italy may opt for a Skype interview with the assessment commission, if they haven’t taken the SAT test. However, priority will be given to candidates with a SAT test score.
Should there be any available places after this selection, a new admission notice will be published in May 2019.

On “The Conservative Conscience” podcast Wednesday, Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz explained why Americans need to get beyond the false dichotomy of either believing in Russian collusion or supporting Russia by default.
“Russia, at the end of the day, still has nuclear weapons. There are some theaters where they could be helpful, there’s theaters where they’re neutral, and there’s theaters where they’re hurting us. And we need to combat them where they’re hurting us,” he explained.
Horowitz laid out a strategy to use the Democrats’ current anti-Russia sentiment to force a much-needed policy change.

The woman's scream still ringing in his ears, Des collected himself again.’¿Qué está pasando? ¡Qué juego tan enfermizo!’ thought Des. “Are you alright?”, Des addressed the woman. “I’m Desmond by the way.” He stepped besides her keeping the naked guy, or was it even a guy, in his sight. He scanned the room for anything heavy and blunt that could be used to take that abomination down.
Vivien noticed the guy they’d just met bending over to her. Seconds ago she saw through him, he being a skeleton to her. And just before that she saw things even worse. Her world was broken into pieces for now. Like far away and under water she still noticed his question with a good delay.
Vivien was still too shocked to form a reasonable sentence, but after a brief moment, still trembling and with wide open eyes, she gave a subtle nod.
Meanwhile at Gavin’s outer body experience. In his drugged, natural behavior. Floating around and still no idea where to go. But .. he knows the structure of these surroundings. He touched a huge flat area, what would be a wall between rooms. The area around of his fingerprint was now in a state of a pulse mode. The whole environment began vibrating and all exploded in a huge color matrix, like a newborn star. Colors, unicorns, space dust and other thing in your weird dreams.
He wasn't accustomed to his speed yet. He flashed right over the outline. The room walls were bursting like a jet hitting the sound barrier, in different shades of purple. “Damn. This went fast .. ”, he giggled. Testing the flight speed needed some more adjustments. Gavin floated back to the outlined thingy.
“Well. What is this outlined cat looking thing doing here?” He reached out to touch the shiny thing - like a child. Touching any- and everything. His mind slipped black again .. nano seconds later .. Gavin opened his eyes, blinked.
“What the heck is going on?” He looked around. “Office building? Check.” “View angle? Bit off, looks normal for now. All a bit huge and the colours are not here. Who gives ..” “Acoustics? I can hear the grass growing. Mkay. Voice? Check One. Check Two.” “Meoow!”, he meowed and started to clean his face, out of natural behavior.
“Percival. Percival Riley, you know the guy who does the electronics around here. Uhhh no?”, Percival tried to jumpstart Desmond’s memory. Responding to the his question. Percival sighed at what's going on and scratched his head in frustration. “This is just clearly a bad dream and at any moment I'll wake up in my bed,” Percival banged his head on the wall attempting to wake up. But it just hurt. The pain felt pretty real. Even though it subsided quickly. Despite being dead not 5 minutes ago, he felt fine again. Well, physically at least.
Des didn’t understand what Percival was trying to say. For him it were just incoherent words. And then the thing even started banging his head on the wall. At that moment it looked more like a robot that had some sort of system crash, then a human being. The scene was not without its comical aspect, as an apparently naked human man banged his had on the wall while mumbling incoherent words. Then Des remembered that this thing moments before was nothing but a burned crisp, and all that was here now reformed out of nothing. Des grabbed the chair and advanced on that headbanging thing.
As soon as Gavin spirit transitioned into his new hull, his earthbound body had dropped with a loud noise on the floor.

Late US senator John McCain will receive his final public sendoff today (Saturday) in a nationally televised ceremony featuring eulogies from two ex-presidents, but with current commander in chief Donald Trump conspicuously absent from the proceedings.
Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama will deliver remarks honoring their friend and former White House challenger, at a memorial service in Washington’s National Cathedral that McCain planned himself in recent months as he battled brain cancer.
That the men who vanquished McCain in their presidential battles were asked to speak is testament to the former war prisoner’s commitment to looking beyond party and signalling that Americans, regardless of political affiliation, are rowing together in the same boat.
Amid today’s inflammatory political environment the message could serve as a soothing balm for a nation bruised by two years of divisive discourse.
And the absence of Trump, whose bitter feud with McCain has wrangled US politics during that time, will serve as a final rebuke of the president, highlighting the clash between a Republican elder statesman and the current president from his own party.
McCain’s last public event, before he is laid to rest Sunday in a private ceremony at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, comes a day after he was accorded the rare recognition of lying in state in the US Capitol.
While members of Congress honored one of their own in a touching ceremony that featured an address by Vice President Mike Pence, Trump was again not there.
Instead he holed up in the White House and remained uncharacteristically silent on Twitter during the ceremony, before flying to a political event in North Carolina later in the day.
McCain’s widow Cindy, his seven children and his 106-year-old mother Roberta McCain joined scores of members of Congress, state governors, diplomats and other dignitaries at the somber Rotunda ceremony.
It was an awkward message to deliver from a president who has studiously refrained from praising McCain, either during his illness or since his death.
Their feud took root during Trump’s 2016 campaign, when he questioned the notion McCain was a war hero — because he had been captured after his navy fighter jet was shot down over Hanoi in 1967.
McCain pushed back in the following months, calling Trump’s behavior petty and “disgraceful,” and in one of his final acts in the Senate blocked the Republican effort to repeal Obama’s health care law known as Obamacare.

republican george w. bush and democrat barack obama will deliver remarks honoring their friend and former white house challenger, at a memorial service in washington’s national cathedral that mccain planned himself in recent months as he battled brain cancer.
that the men who vanquished mccain in their presidential battles were asked to speak is testament to the former war prisoner’s commitment to looking beyond party and signalling that americans, regardless of political affiliation, are rowing together in the same boat.
amid today’s inflammatory political environment the message could serve as a soothing balm for a nation bruised by two years of divisive discourse.
and the absence of trump, whose bitter feud with mccain has wrangled us politics during that time, will serve as a final rebuke of the president, highlighting the clash between a republican elder statesman and the current president from his own party.
mccain’s last public event, before he is laid to rest sunday in a private ceremony at the us naval academy in annapolis, maryland, comes a day after he was accorded the rare recognition of lying in state in the us capitol.
while members of congress honored one of their own in a touching ceremony that featured an address by vice president mike pence, trump was again not there.
instead he holed up in the white house and remained uncharacteristically silent on twitter during the ceremony, before flying to a political event in north carolina later in the day.
mccain’s widow cindy, his seven children and his 106-year-old mother roberta mccain joined scores of members of congress, state governors, diplomats and other dignitaries at the somber rotunda ceremony.
it was an awkward message to deliver from a president who has studiously refrained from praising mccain, either during his illness or since his death.
their feud took root during trump’s 2016 campaign, when he questioned the notion mccain was a war hero — because he had been captured after his navy fighter jet was shot down over hanoi in 1967.
mccain pushed back in the following months, calling trump’s behavior petty and “disgraceful,” and in one of his final acts in the senate blocked the republican effort to repeal obama’s health care law known as obamacare.

The government has just announced the postponement of work to electrify the Great Western rail network in south-west England, a £2.8 billion project.
This summary of measures could have been taken straight from the Osborne playbook, with cuts to social security, pensions and other entitlements that all hit working people again combined with further cuts to investment. The only thing that is new is this security and immigration-obsessed government has provided a small amount of funding to conduct cyber-warfare because it feels it is falling behind. If the Osborne approach was completely mimicked in the upcoming Autumn Statement, there would also be a new tax giveaway for big business.
There is a fundamental reason for this. The Tories have not implemented austerity because they are ‘the Nasty Party’, although they are. The entire austerity programme, the cuts to public services and pay, cuts to social welfare, cuts to business taxes, further privatisation and cuts to public sector investment all have one central purpose. This is not, as stated, to eliminate the deficit, otherwise the Corporation Tax rate would not have been cut and costly privatisations made.
The purpose of austerity is to restore profitability. And this has been a failure. Even before taking rising prices into account, the level of profits in the second quarter of this year was lower that it was in the third quarter of 2014. Profits are not sufficiently recovering to allow any major reversal of austerity for a government wholly committed to driving down wages and the social wage while giving big handouts to big business.
Of course, some tinkering and publicity-seeking measures are likely, as the government pretends to be on the side of working people. No doubt it will be aided by the extremely compliant media. But anti-austerity activists should be clear. This will be the same old austerity Tories as before.
