News article: CONCERNING HOBBITS AND PHILIP MARLOWE
THE LETTERS OF J.R.R.TOLKIEN Selected and edited by Humphrey Carpenter, with the assistance of Christopher Tolkien. 463 pp. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co. $16.95.
YOUR ideas of the natural and mine are different,'' J.R.R. Tolkien wrote to Time-Life International Ltd., declining to be photographed in 1968.
Of course, he would have been justified in writing that to anyone. To him what was natural was an order of life long ago abandoned by the majority in pursuit of progress, as well as a personal life of intellect, sensibility and imagination not easily accessible to most people at any time. The products of that life - whether some of the most subtly intuitive work ever done in philology or the great popular fantasies ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'' - seemed to Tolkien natural expressions of his quest for an understanding of human values.
Tolkien's biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and his son Christopher Tolkien have gathered 374 letters written over 60 years by the creator of all those elves, hobbits, orcs, ents, dragons, magicians and spooks. There are letters to his fiancee in 1914, later letters of advice to his children, a few about his scholarly work; but most are about his popular books - letters to publishers, friends, fans, critics.
For the serious students of the tales this is a trove worthy of protection by one of his dragons. (How that man loved dragons! His first story, written at age 7, was of a dragon. Dragons lurk about in these letters everywhere.) Here is Tolkien discussing sources, the development of his ideas, the meanings of incidents, the origins of words. Letters to his son while writing ''The Lord of the Rings,'' long letters to a man he wanted to publish it, others to the proofreader in the company that finally did publish it could be printed as a textual introduction to the book.
His fans wondered about him. ''I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size),'' he wrote. ''I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food....'' There he is, with cloth hat, tweed jacket, often a bright waistcoat, gray trousers, unpolished shoes, pipe in teeth, looking for all the world like an English farmer. He spent by far the greatest part of his more than 80 years at Oxford. As a youth he worked on the Oxford English Dictionary. When he was just past 30 he was elected professor of Anglo-Saxon and later, Merton Professor. So he was, by vote of his colleagues, the premier professor in English and Germanic philologies most of his life. His scholarly work would have elevated him without a vote.
Excited to rare but real anger by a column written by Harvey Breit in The New York Times Book Review in 1955 (Breit had quoted a fragment of a Tolkien description of his work in a way that he felt ended up misrepresenting him), he wrote to his American publishers that his work ''is all of a piece, and fundamentally linguistic in inspiration. The authorities of the university might well consider it an aberration of an elderly professor of philology to write and publish fairy stories and romances ... but it is not a 'hobby'. ... The invention of languages is the foundation. The 'stories' were made rather to provide a world for the languages than the reverse. To me a name comes first and the story follows.''
After he became famous, he was asked many times for his biography. In this volume a letter to W.H. Auden, who was about to make a BBC broadcast about him, gives a clear chronological account of how his immensely various literary interests fit together. To Christopher Bretherton he wrote what is really an interior history of his reading and imagination. Two of the most revealing insights occur in a 1953 letter to Robert Murray, a Jesuit priest:
'' 'The Lord of the Rings' is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out practically all references to anything like 'religion,' to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and symbolism.'' Farther on: ''Certainly I have not been nourished by English literature. ... I was brought up in the Classics, and first discovered the sensation of literary pleasure in Homer. Also, being a philologist, (I get) a large part of any aesthetic pleasure that I am capable of from the form of words (and especially from the fresh association of word-form with word-sense). '' Add to that his lifetime work on the old northern European languages and their sagas, and you have almost the entire foundation of his work.
In these letters we find him explaining that Middle Earth -the location of his stories - is merely our own round ball, but before human history. For some incidents he cited general sources in old legends. To a lady who asked about Smaug, the dragon, he wrote that the name is the past tense of an Old High German verb meaning ''to vent'' and confessed it was ''a low philological jest.''

The Powhatan People (sometimes Powhatans) (also spelled Powatan) are an Indigenous group traditionally from Virginia. In some instances, The Powhatan, may refer to one of the leaders of the people. This is most commonly the case in historical writings by the English. The Powhatans have also been known as Virginia Algonquians, as the Powhatan language is an eastern-Algonquian language also known as Virginia Algonquian.
In November 1609, Captain John Ratcliffe was invited to Orapakes, Powhatan's new capital. After he had sailed up the Pamunkey River to trade there, a fight broke out between the colonists and the Powhatan. All of the English ashore were killed, including Ratcliffe, who was tortured by the women of the tribe. Those aboard the pinnace escaped and told the tale at Jamestown. During that next year, the tribe attacked and killed many Jamestown residents. The residents fought back, but only killed twenty. However, arrival at Jamestown of a new Governor, Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, (Lord Delaware) in June 1610 signalled the beginning of the First Anglo-Powhatan War. A brief period of peace came only after the capture of Pocahontas, her baptism, and her marriage to tobacco planter John Rolfe in 1614. Within a few years both Powhatan and Pocahontas were dead. Powhatan died in Virginia, but Pocahontas died while in England. Meanwhile, the English settlers continued to encroach on Powhatan territory. After Wahunsunacawh's death, his younger brother, Opitchapam, briefly became chief, followed by their younger brother Opechancanough. In 1622 (Indian massacre of 1622) and 1644 he attacked the English to force them from Powhatan territories. Both these attempts were met with strong reprisals from the English, ultimately resulting in the near destruction of the tribe. The Second Anglo-Powhatan War that followed the 1644 incident ended in 1646, after Royal Governor of Virginia William Berkeley's forces captured Opechancanough, thought to be between 90 and 100 years old. While a prisoner, Opechancanough was killed, shot in the back by a soldier assigned to guard him. He was succeeded as Weroance by Necotowance, and later by Totopotomoi and by his daughter Cockacoeske. The Treaty of 1646 marked the effective dissolution of the united confederacy, as white colonists were granted an exclusive enclave between the York and Blackwater Rivers. This physically separated the Nansemonds, Weyanokes and Appomattox, who retreated southward, from the other Powhatan tribes then occupying the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. While the southern frontier demarcated in 1646 was respected for the remainder of the 17th century, the House of Burgesses lifted the northern one on September 1, 1649. Waves of new immigrants quickly flooded the peninsular region, then known as Chickacoan, and restricted the dwindling tribes to lesser tracts of land that became some of the earliest Indian reservations. In 1665, the House of Burgesses passed stringent laws requiring the Powhatan to accept chiefs appointed by the governor. After the Treaty of Albany in 1684, the Powhatan Confederacy all but vanished.

By. Daily Mail Reporter. Last updated at 7:15 PM on 14th July 2011. A stripper who went on the run with her lesbian lover after the children she left home alone were killed in a fire has handed herself in. Police were hunting Kiaira Pollard, 27, whose sons KiDonn, seven, and KrisDon, four, perished in a blaze that tore through her Pittsburgh apartment while she was at work. They believed Pollard was with her 33-year-old girlfriend Dayna Kenney, who works as her personal security guard. At large: Stripper Kiaira Pollard, left, is on the run with her lesbian lover Dayna Kenney, right, after the children she left home alone were killed in a fire. But she surrendered to police on Wednesday with her attorney who said she is "anguished by the loss of her children". Pollard was was charged with two counts of homicide, child endangerment and tampering with a fire apparatus, with police saying she often left the boys at home in an apartment without a smoke alarm. Fireman found straight-A student KiDonn dead under a pile of clothes while KrisDon was discovered under a crib. Pollard became a fugitive on Tuesday, a day after police filed charges against her in connection with the June 30 tragedy. She handed herself in at 3.45pm on Wednesday. Pollard's attorney, Fred Rabner, said: 'This is a tragedy for all involved.' He added that his client had been too distraught to provide many facts about the case. Both boys were killed when the fire took hold of the flat in North Versailles. Brothers in arms: The boys were never far apart. When Pollard eventually arrived from work on the fateful night she told officers a babysitter must have left the children home alone. Pollard then frantically tried to call the sitter to no avail. Witnesses said when she arrived she shouted: 'That's my apartment! My babies! Where's the babysitter?' Police later checked Pollard's record and found she never made a call. Talented: KiDonn was a straight-A student. They were first at the scene but could not get through the locked front steel door, which fire fighters had to break down. Neighbours, interviewed at the time, said Pollard was an attentive mother who would never leave her boys at home on their own. But police thought otherwise charging her with homicide, endangering the welfare of. children and tampering with a smoke detector. A maintenance man told officers the smoke detector was missing during an annual inspection two days before. the fire but he had replaced it. He added that Pollard told him. she had previously disconnected the device because the alarm would go. off when she cooked. Before she handed herself in Allegheny County Police Lieutenant Andrew Schurman said Kenney and Pollard 'travel as a pair'. He added: 'She's (Pollard's) girlfriend, and they share a residence.' Investigators believe the blaze started accidentally at 2.30am next to an air conditioner in the apartment. A friend of Pollard's told police she drove her to work at 10 or 11pm the night before the fire and didn't see a babysitter. Pollard refused to give detectives contact information for the babysitter when they requested it on several occasions after the fire. The boys' funeral took place amid emotional scenes earlier this month. Pollard sobbed and leaned on others as she walked toward the lone white casket holding her sons. Relatives cried out when the casket was closed. KiDonn was expected to join a programme for gifted pupils. KrisDon was said to be fond of Power Rangers and was known as 'Fatty'. His father, Christopher Williams, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the boys were 'beautiful'. He added: 'They were best friends.' Grandmother Carmen Pollard said the boys were never apart. 'You take one,' she said, 'you've got to take the other.' Cousin Ashley Burchette told the same paper that Ms Pollard will forever suffer the loss of her sons and should not be charged. 'She's paid enough,' Ms Burchette said. 'She's paid the ultimate price.'

Write an article that answers the following question: Who recieved land because of Article 27? | An important element the Revolution's legacy is the 1917 Constitution. It was pushed forward by populist generals within Carranza's government to undermine the popular support that Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata held. It was not written by liberal elites or the military itself, but rather young radicalized professionals, giving the document some authenticity for the peasantry. The document brought numerous reforms demanded by populist factions of the revolution, with article 27 empowering the state to expropriate resources deemed vital to the nation. These included expropriation of hacienda lands and redistribution to peasants. Article 27 also empowered the government to expropriate holdings of foreign companies, most prominently seen in the 1938 expropriation of oil. In Article 123 the constitution codified major labor reforms, including an 8-hour work day, a right to strike, equal pay laws for women, and an end to exploitative practices such as child labor and company stores. The constitution strengthened restrictions on the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. In the early 1990s, the government introduced reforms to the constitution that rolled back the government's power to expropriate property and its restrictions on religious institutions. Just as the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari was amending significant provisions of the constitution, Metro Constitución de 1917 station was opened. | 7 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |

Here is a question about this article: After the formal end of Reconstruction, the struggle over power in Southern society continued. Through violence and intimidation against freedmen and their allies, White Democrats regained political power in Tennessee and other states across the South in the late 1870s and 1880s. Over the next decade, the state legislature passed increasingly restrictive laws to control African Americans. In 1889 the General Assembly passed four laws described as electoral reform, with the cumulative effect of essentially disfranchising most African Americans in rural areas and small towns, as well as many poor Whites. Legislation included implementation of a poll tax, timing of registration, and recording requirements. Tens of thousands of taxpaying citizens were without representation for decades into the 20th century. Disfranchising legislation accompanied Jim Crow laws passed in the late 19th century, which imposed segregation in the state. In 1900, African Americans made up nearly 24% of the state's population, and numbered 480,430 citizens who lived mostly in the central and western parts of the state.

Alain Prost has revealed that he hopes to resurrect the French Grand Prix, a race he won six times during his illustrious Formula One career. The four-time world champion driver is meeting with F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone about reinstating the event, which was last held in 2008, at Circuit Paul Ricard near Marseille. "We were very close to organizing a French Grand Prix in Paris a few years ago and now I've been asked to advise and see if everything is correct," the former McLaren driver told CNN ahead of this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. "I have the opportunity to meet Bernie and we'll see what happens. It might be the right timing, that's all I can say. But in the end it is always a question of money." The Frenchman picked up the first of his 51 grand prix wins at his home race in 1981. That year it was held in Dijon, which was rotated as a venue with Paul Ricard from the early 1970s until Magny Cours took over in 1991. "We could have organized a race in Paris a few years ago which was really the best project," explained Prost, who also raced for Renault, Ferrari and Williams during a 13-year spell behind the wheel. "If we cannot do that, I think the Circuit Paul Ricard is really the best place ... in Europe, we are in a way missing Formula One. We still have some races but we miss the historical races. "We still have Monza, we still have Silverstone, but we see that it is not that easy to organize. We have been everywhere in the world for the benefit of Formula One but at the end of the day, the culture, the tradition of Formula One and motor racing is really in Europe." Prost has special attachment to the track in Le Castellet, where he took some of his first steps on the road to F1. "I feel a little bit nostalgic," he said. "In my heart I would be very pleased -- it became a fantastic track, a fantastic place and it would be a shame not to use it. "I have a lot of memories. It's like Silverstone in England. If you stop racing you lose almost all of the history from the country and that is not good." After this weekend's Abu Dhabi race, teams will stay at the Yas Marina circuit to take part in the annual young driver test event -- where a Prost will take to an F1 track for the first time since the 1993 Australian Grand Prix. Prost's oldest son Nicolas is a development driver for the Lotus team, formerly known as Renault. The 31-year-old is a latecomer to motorsport, instead deciding to attend university in the U.S. where he was a keen golfer. "I feel proud about what he's doing today," said Prost. "He's going to follow what the team want him to do, I know they are testing a few things for next year. It's exactly what he wants to do." Prost is unsure whether his son will follow him onto the grid, saying: "We'll wait and see. He's very realistic, that is his quality. So he's not going to be disappointed." Meanwhile, reports have suggested F1 teams face increased entry fees next season as the sport looks to increase revenue. Motorsport's world governing body, the FIA, will charge every entrant $500,000 plus further expenses for each championship point won this season. The constructors' champions -- likely to be Red Bull -- will have to pay $6,000 per point, compared to $5,000 for the rest of the teams, according to the Autosport website. If these financial rules had been in place at the start of the 2012 season, Red Bull would have had to part with $4.4 million to enter the championship after picking up 650 points in 2011. Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel's late-season charge towards a historic third successive drivers' title gathered pace as the Red Bull driver set the fastest time in practice ahead of Sunday's grand prix. The German, who holds a 13-point lead over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with just three races to go, pipped McLaren's Mercedes-bound Lewis Hamilton by 0.168 seconds on Friday. Vettel, the youngest double world champion in F1 history, has won the last four grands prix to derail Alonso's bid to win Ferrari's first world championship since 2007 and his third overall. The Spaniard struggled to match the frontrunners, finishing the final session seventh fastest.

The question has become live since the Swiss voted to introduce immigration quotas - contrary to the freedom of movement agreement it had signed with the EU.
And Brussels is aware that its response could have consequences in other countries which may seek to loosen their ties with the European Union.
"Switzerland has more free trade agreements with the big economies than we do," says the leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage. He seems to see Switzerland as a shining example of just how well a country can do outside the EU.
"Switzerland… has to pay into the European Union coffers, they have to obey all the European Union laws… they are utterly powerless," says Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, on the other hand.
He regards Switzerland's agreement to most EU policy as the worst of all possible worlds: accepting the legislation, with no say on how it is developed.
Switzerland has full access to the EU single market, and its economy depends on good relations with Europe - more than 60% of its goods are sold in the eurozone.
So although the Swiss government has negotiated some potentially very promising trade agreements with other countries - notably China - access to Europe's single market is crucial, and without it, the Swiss economy could not succeed.
The EU takes the view, though, that access to the single market, and to many other pan-European projects, depends on signing up to other common European policies, in particular free movement of people.
And that applies whether you are an EU member or not.
But on 9 February this year, amid growing concern that the rate of immigration from EU countries was far higher than anyone had predicted, the Swiss voted in a nationwide referendum to reintroduce quotas, effectively abandoning its free movement agreement with the EU.
The Swiss government had opposed the quota proposal. It warned that such a vote could trigger retaliatory measures from Brussels.
Within weeks the EU had excluded Switzerland from the Erasmus Plus student exchange programme.
Student Julia Hofstetter, who had spent the last six months preparing for an exchange year at the University of Copenhagen, said she was "shocked".
"I just can't imagine a life without being able to travel, work and study where I want," said Ms Hofstetter.
But those who oppose free movement think the difficulties now facing Ms Hofstetter and other Swiss students are a small price to pay for regaining control of Switzerland's borders.
"The disadvantages to us of keeping free movement of people are much bigger [than any problems for students]," said Luzi Stamm, member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People's Party and a key campaigner for the reintroduction of quotas.
"The Swiss system is such that you can change decisions relatively quickly, and I'm very glad we did so.
"I do believe any pressure the European Union uses now is less of a problem than totally open borders for immigration."
But that assertion may be tested by further consequences. The EU has also suspended Swiss participation in the Horizon 2020 research fund, and frozen talks on a long-awaited energy trading agreement.
Perhaps most worrying of all, multinational companies based in Switzerland are starting to feel uneasy.
The oil services giant Weatherford recently announced it would be moving its European headquarters from Switzerland to Ireland. The company told its shareholders in a blunt statement that recent votes on pay limits for top executives, and now on curbing immigration, had made Switzerland "unpredictable".
Switzerland's unique system, in which popular referendums can overturn government policy, can lead to a dangerous "uncertainty", admits Frederique Reeb-Landry, of Geneva's business association.
But the Swiss people have spoken, and their government is now spending long days and nights searching for what it calls a "compromise" with Brussels.
But the EU has already said free movement and quotas are incompatible.
To offer free trade without free movement to a non-member would be a huge political risk - perhaps prompting countries like Britain, which have made their doubts about free movement clear, to see life outside the union as more attractive.
"I don't think we will be able to square this circle," said Ivo Scherrer, founder of a new political group called Operation Libero, designed, he says, to offer a different, less isolationist vision for Switzerland.
"Our [current] strategy makes us vulnerable," he said. "Switzerland is bound to lose access to European markets and institutions."
So is the Swiss bilateral route not a strategy to recommend to big member states with big doubts about the EU?
"Britain would have to decide for itself whether such an isolationist strategy is worth the cost. I personally think it's not," Mr Scherrer said.
Others think differently. As the retaliatory measures from the EU keep coming, Mr Stamm warns Brussels' tactics could backfire.
"Switzerland is a little country, and it's not powerful," the politician said. "If the European Union wants to play a power game we will lose.
"But what kind of a European Union is this? I grew up with the conviction that the European Union is something positive, something for the future of Europe.
"If the European Union starts to play power games against little countries then that's the beginning of the end."

Be concerned when your secrets get out. Stay alert if you have suffered a recent burglary.
Article: | If secure information that only a small number of trusted individuals should know suddenly gets out, there might be some chance that the leak came about as a result of a phone tap, particularly if you have discussed the information over the phone at some point. This is of particular significance if you are in a position that makes you a valuable person to spy on. For instance, if you have a high-level position in a powerful company with many competitors, you might be in danger of falling victim to the underground information industry. On the other hand, your reasons for being tapped could also be as simple as going through a messy divorce. Your soon-to-be-ex-spouse might wiretap you if he or she wants to dig up information that could be useful during the divorce proceedings. If you want to test this out, you can do so by confiding a fake piece of information that seems important to someone you know you can trust not to tell. If that piece of information gets out, you know that someone else was listening in. If your home was recently robbed or broken into but nothing of value was taken, that alone should suggest to you that something is odd. Sometimes this can suggest that someone broke into your home for the sake of putting a wiretap on your phone. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Article:Sgt Emile Cilliers, 35, from South Africa, was questioned by police last week after his wife Victoria fell 4,000ft (1,219m) over Wiltshire on 5 April, the Press Association said.
Wiltshire Police described 39-year-old Mrs Cilliers' survival as "miraculous".
However she suffered "multiple serious injuries".
Her main parachute failed to deploy, while her reserve chute only partially opened - enough to slow her descent.
Det Insp Paul Franklin said she was an experienced parachutist but had "very nearly lost her life" in what should have been a "routine" jump.
"This woman would have been dead if her chute hadn't partially opened, this meant her descent was slowed enough for her to survive the fall," he said.
An investigation was launched after the parachute club at Netheravon Airfield, in Salisbury Plain, alerted police to concerns over what had happened.
Detectives said "slinks", or soft links, used to connect the canopy to the parachute harness, were "missing" and they were particularly keen to find them.
Mrs Cilliers, from Amesbury, was taken to Southampton General Hospital with "multiple fractures throughout her body" and was now recovering at home, police said.
Her husband, an Army corps training instructor, was bailed last week.

Trim toenails straight across. Cut toenails to the proper length. Watch for ingrown toenails. Clean under your toenails. Take a break from polish occasionally. Remove nail polish before 2 weeks is up.
Article: | Trimming straight across creates a pleasing effect, but it can also limit ingrown toenails. However, you can round off the corners with a file so you don't scratch yourself with your toenails. Trim your nails when they're dry. You'll get a cleaner cut. Pick out clippers meant for toenails, as they are less rounded and made to cut thicker nails. You may find that nail nippers work even better, especially if you have nail fungus, because they are sharper and easier to control. They look like small wire cutters. Skip cutting cuticles. They help protect you from infection. Your toenails should be about as long as your toes. If they're any longer, they may rub against your shoes. If they're too short, it can lead to infection. An ingrown toenail happens when the edge of your toenail pushes into your skin. You may notice your toe is red, some swelling, or some pain. To deal with an ingrown toenail yourself, bathe your feet in warm water for about 20 minutes, which can help relieve pain and swelling; acetaminophen and ibuprofen can also help with the pain. Place cotton or dental floss under the edge, to help the nail grow properly; put new pieces back in after each time you soak it. To keep it from getting infected, use antibiotic ointment and then cover the area with a bandage. It can also help if your shoes are loose-fitting or open around the toes. Proper toenail maintenance can help keep you from getting ingrown toenails, such as cutting straight across and keeping toenails at the proper length. You can deal with ingrown toenails yourself. However, you may need to see your doctor about one if you are having a great deal of pain. Also, redness moving up your toe or pus coming from the wound could be a sign of a more serious infection. Also, if you have diabetes, it's important to take action when you notice any problems with your feet. Run a manicure stick under your nails. Don't push too hard, as you can separate the nail from the nail bed. Running a manicure stick will help keep them clean and beautiful. While it's fine to use polish, you also need to take a break from it every once and awhile. Keep away from it about a fourth of the time, taking a week off a month. That will give your toes a breather and allow them to regain moisture. If you leave it on for longer, you can stain your toenails. However, adding a clear base coat before painting your toenails can help alleviate this problem. If you do have stained nails, check to see if they're also hard and brittle. If so, you likely have a toenail fungus. Ask your doctor about the condition. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Of much greater importance is the division of the city into 62 barrios: neighbourhoods or wards. Many of the city's barrios—such as Sayago, Ituzaingó and Pocitos—were previously geographically separate settlements, later absorbed by the growth of the city. Others grew up around certain industrial sites, including the salt-curing works of Villa del Cerro and the tanneries in Nuevo París. Each barrio has its own identity, geographic location and socio-cultural activities. A neighbourhood of great significance is Ciudad Vieja, that was surrounded by a protective wall until 1829.

As different content was considered in different legal systems, and in the absence of common definitions for "ISPs," "bulletin boards" or "online publishers," early law on online intermediaries' liability varied widely from country to country.

Being vegan and in Las Vegas the choices are minimal when it comes to pizza(other than Sammy's Woodire, there is nothing else really)..when I heard about this place opening last month I finally found time to make the trek to Anthem (where they are located in the strip mall next to Trader Joes,k--mart ,etc) When I arrived I was a little skeptical, as it appears small, in comparison to most places or chains, but there is signs posted all on the windows such as "eco this" "eco that", "organic",etc,etc - so I figured this sounds right up my alley of what I was hoping it would be When we arrived there was only one other table with two women having lunch, we placed our order and then suddenly the place got slammed busy, all tables were full, and i seen a couple guys actually turning away because there was no table -and since the place is quite small (only a handful of tables), the lone waitress could not bring the food out as fast as it was ready. Our food(and all other people's)sat for a good five minutes or more before she served it to us ( by the way I am not blaming her ..she was too busy and they were grossly under staffed) To boot it was 103 degrees and the air conditioner was not working, so she was spending lots of time(unsuccessfully) trying to get it up and running, we were sitting by the thermostat and it read 82 and climbing by the minute. For Vegans the menu has the option to sub the real cheese out for soy cheese or Daiya cheese. I chose the soy cheese, while my wife took the Daiya since she loves that stuff, (me i find it a bit tangy normally) so i figured i would try this soy cheese option. My pizza was very good, i am a big pizza sauce fan, and in my opinion can make or break a pizza-this had good sauce, perhaps too much for the average person, but i usually ask for extra anyways so that was fine for me, the crust was great(they do have a multi grain crust as well which i did no try)and i did eat my whole pizza so that is a good sign there. They also have as a topping , a gardein chicken which is unheard of to find at a pizza place, but it gives vegans an option besides just mushroom, black olive,and the other staples we are usually stuck with. I did try the gardein chicken, but probably would not the next time as its a bit too close to the real thing for my liking, and when i was not vegan i never did like chicken on my pizza in the first place. In conclusion the pizza was good, but I do not think I would drive a half hour to get it weekly, however, if you live in the area you may want to check it out for sure For desert one of the options was a vegan home made brownie which was quite good also, it was two triangle brownies for 4.00 which i thought was a good buy. They also have some orangic sodas, ice teas, which i did not try personally. For you non vegans, this review was biased mainly towards vegans so i apologize but i am sure you will like it just fine.

Read this article and answer this question Going for their fourth-straight win, the Dolphins traveled to Ford Field for a Thanksgiving fight with the Detroit Lions. This game would be marked as Dolphins QB Joey Harrington's return to Detroit, as he was constantly booed throughout the contest. In the first quarter, Miami trailed as Lions QB Jon Kitna got Detroit off to a fast start. Kitna would complete a 2-yard TD pass to TE Dan Campbell, while kicker Jason Hanson nailed a 52-yard field goal. Afterwards, Harrington started to get the Dolphins back into business as he completed his first-ever Thanksgiving touchdown pass on an 8-yard strike to WR Marty Booker. In the second quarter, Harrington acquired the only score of the period on a 5-yard TD pass to TE Randy McMichael. In the third quarter, kicker Olindo Mare nailed a 42-yard field goal, while Harrington and Booker connected with each other again on a 19-yard TD pass. In the fourth quarter, Mare managed to put the game away with a 28-yard field goal. RB Ronnie Brown only had 68 yards rushing (with 5 yards receiving), as he left the game early with a broken left hand. He is currently week-to-week and will likely miss the team's next game against Jacksonville. With the Dolphins victory, not only did the Dolphins improve to 5-6, but Harrington also got his second-ever Thanksgiving Day victory and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd touchdown pass ever on Thanksgiving Day.

Write some highlights for the following article:
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon handed President Clinton additional responsibility Wednesday for earthquake-ravaged Haiti, charging him with overseeing aid efforts as well as reconstruction. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the impoverished nation January 12, devastating parts of the country. More than 200,000 people died from the quake, a spokesman for the country's prime minister told CNN Wednesday. Ban asked Clinton "to assume a leadership role in coordinating international aid efforts, from emergency response to new construction of Haiti." "You have demonstrated extremely important leadership," Ban told Clinton, who is already the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti. Clinton will work with the Haitian government and the people of Haiti in recovery and reconstruction efforts, according to a statement released by Clinton's U.N. office. He will help coordinate the work of U.N. agencies and other international partners in Haiti, including government donors, private investors and non-governmental organizations, the statement said. "I cannot find any other better suited leader than yourself, Mr. President," Ban told Clinton at the United Nations on Wednesday morning. Clinton thanked Ban. "I will do the best I can," he said. "I think the challenges are great; we still have a lot of emergency problems to deal with," he said. "Almost all the infrastructure (is) gone there, so the trick is to get the Haitian people back where they can stop living from day-to-day and start living week-to-week or month-to-month." Clinton added, "The leaders there want to build a functioning modern state for the first time."

Read this article and answer this question In North America, the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) is the largest exhibition trade organization in the world. According to their figures, the top four chains represent almost half of the theater screens in North America. In Canada, Cineplex Entertainment is the largest and movie theater company with 161 locations and 1,635 screens. The studios once controlled many theaters, but after the appearance of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Congress passed the Matthew Neely Anti-Block Booking Act, which eventually broke the link between the studios and the theaters. Now, the top three chains in the U.S. are Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Entertainment Inc and Cinemark Theatres. In 1995, Carmike was the largest chain in the United States- now, the major chains include AMC Entertainment Inc - 5,206 screens in 346 theaters, Cinemark Theatres - 4,457 screens in 334 theaters, Landmark Theatres - 220 screens in 54 theaters, Marcus Theatres - 681 screens in 53 theaters. National Amusements - 409 screens in 32 theaters and Regal Entertainment Group - 7,334 screens in 588 cinemas. In 2015 the United States had a total of 40,547 screens.

Article:Overnight, it has been revealed that Trinity Mirror PLC has been in discussion with Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell about taking a minority interest in a new company which would - probably but not certainly - include the Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star, Daily Star Sunday and their websites.
Trinity's interest in the Express titles goes back years. But there is a much bigger story going on here.
The man behind a deal to potentially take these titles off Richard Desmond is none other than David Montgomery, the former editor of the News of the World and Today who went on to become a major investor in media.
Over recent months, Montgomery has been trying to raise the necessary finances, speaking to several banks, as well as equity partners.
Montgomery is being advised by Lloyds, Bank of Canada, and the familiar figure of Jonnie Goodwin of Lepe Partners.
Before Christmas, he had raised £125m. This comprises £60m of debt finance, £10m from Montgomery, £30m from other equity backers - and £25m from Trinity Mirror.
Mark Kleinman of Sky News has reported that the investors Montgomery is speaking to include Towebrook Capital Partners. I have not been able to verify this yet myself.
Richard Desmond, who bought the Express titles in 2000, spoke to me about his intentions.
In May last year, Express Newspapers, which is part of Northern & Shell, announced it had tripled pre-tax profits in 2015 to £30.5m.
Desmond told me that with OK! Magazine doing well, and his printworks in Luton owning assets now worth "around £100m", Express Newspapers was making around £50m.
I asked Desmond if he was intent on selling to Montgomery and had received an offer.
"There's a lot of talk, nothing has happened. I haven't had an offer." Asked specifically if he wished to sell Express Newspapers, Desmond said: "Why would I? You tell me, why would I?"
But he swiftly added that he was "interested in everything".
Asked if he would demand a five-times multiple of profits for Express Newspapers, he said: "Why wouldn't I?"
Desmond hasn't seen Montgomery since his Christmas party. "My people have been speaking loads to his management."
His preference, as things stand, is to consolidate back-office staff rather than sell Express Newspapers - though he would, of course, entertain the latter option if he was offered a suitable price.
"If we can bring in a minority partner to share back-office staff, that could save tens of millions," he added.
He specifically referred to "IT, ad sales" in reference to these back-office operations.
Using what were clearly ballpark figures on a deal that hasn't yet transpired, about an entity not yet clearly defined, Desmond told me the savings for Trinity Mirror of a combined company could be around £30m, and for Desmond they could be around £60m.
"If Trinity then owned 20% of the new company, which should make £80m, that's £16m."
I should urge caution about these figures, because Desmond himself did: when I asked what exactly would make £80m, he was open that this was a generalisation about a possible future company.
Desmond is a brilliant deal-maker who sold Channel 5 to Viacom for £463m in 2014, having bought it in 2010 for just £103.5m.
By the way, Viacom has had an excellent two years with Channel 5, with ratings up, in the years since that sale.
He didn't give me the impression he is keen to get out of media in a hurry.
I asked David Montgomery if the above figures were accurate and indeed whether he was being advised by those I mention above.
At the time of writing he hadn't responded to my queries.
I asked a Trinity Mirror PLC spokesman whether the £25m figure was accurate.
He offered no comment.
I have spoken to multiple sources across the industry about the likelihood of a deal going through between Montgomery and Desmond. As things stand, it is very uncertain.
Desmond won't sell for a knockdown price: after all, he has stable profits.
And any consolidation of back-office operations depends on a huge range of specifics that are yet to be hammered out.
But as I have repeatedly said on this blog, there is a coming consolidation in the media sector, and indeed in over-supplied sub-sectors such as that of national newspapers in Britain.
By over-supplied I simply mean we have plenty for an island with our population.
Expect more on this soon. And I will publish Montgomery's response if and when I get it.

Washington (CNN)Triumphant Republicans return to Washington Wednesday to prepare for a new era of GOP dominance on both sides of the Capitol. But first, they have to get through a short, final Senate session under Democratic control. The post-election lame duck session should be fast-paced as lawmakers work to clear leftover business, including a must pass bill to fund the government, and other bills to arm Syrian rebels and extend expiring tax breaks. Republican leaders are anxious to start the new Congress in January with a clean slate when they could control as many as 54 seats. Senators who were defeated in the last election must return to the Capitol to vote on these items. But newly-elected senators, excited after their victories, can't vote until they are sworn-in in January.

Arabic weddings (Arabic: zff, frH, or `rs) have changed greatly in the past 100 years. Original traditional Arabic weddings are supposed to be very similar to modern-day Bedouin weddings and rural weddings, and they are in some cases unique from one region to another, even within the same country. it must be mentioned that what some people today call "Bedouin" wedding is in fact the original true traditional Arab Islamic wedding without foreign influence. The marriage process usually starts with meetings between the couple's families, and ends with the wedding's consummation (leilat al-dokhla).
In Old Palestine, the henna night was a night used to prepare all the necessary wedding decorations and last minute arrangements. It was also a chance for the families to celebrate together before the wedding. The groom's family would sahij or dance through the streets of the village until reaching the house of the bride. Once there, the family would mix henna together, which would then be used to decorate the bride and grooms hands (with the groom's being merely the initials of his bride and himself), and then offer the bride her mahr (usually gold as it does not decline in value like other wealth). The families would then dance and sing traditional Palestinian music. In modern times, particularly those not living in Palestine, the henna night remains traditional in customs, but is very similar to a bachelorette party; the bride's female friends and relatives join her in celebrating, which includes food, drinks, and a lot of dancing. A women's group plays Arabic music, sometimes Islamic music, while everyone dances. A woman draws henna or mehndi, a temporary form of skin decoration using henna, on the bride and guests' skin -- usually the palms and feet, where the henna color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin there, which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna. The men will also have a party, in which the groom's family and friends will dance to traditional Palestinian music. In some village customs, the groom's face is shaven by a close family member or friend in preparation for his wedding. The tradition of giving the bride her gold is also still used. The groom will enter where the bride is, they well both get their henna done, and the groom will then offer the bride her mahr. Thus, the wedding being merely dancing and celebration. An important element of the henna night in both traditional and non-traditional henna parties, is the dress adorned by the Palestinian women and the groom. The women dress in traditional (usually hand embroidered) gowns, known as Palestinian ithyab. The brides thobe would be extravagant and exquistely embroidered. The groom will wear the usual traditional Arab men's thobe and hata (head covering).
