Review: The only other film besides Soylent Green that has such an air of hopelessness is On the Beach. Both films deal with the consequences for the species and the planet from man made cataclysms. On the Beach with nuclear war and Soylent Green with the environmental poisoning of the planet.
Maybe there's cause for some optimism because as of 2007 we haven't reached either of the worlds described in those films and we were supposed to by now. New York City still has about 8 million people not the 22 million by the turn of the millenia as described in Soylent Green. Environmentalists always hail this film as showing the consequence of global warming. For myself it also shows the Right to Life ethic run amuck. Obviously there's no family planning in this world either.
Charlton Heston is an NYPD detective who lives with room mate Edward G. Robinson who's old enough to remember the Earth before catastrophe struck. There's been a murder committed, Joseph Cotten an executive with the Soylent Corporation, a multi-national concern that has come up with a food product, some kind of wafer in many colors to feed the world's population. It's latest product is Soylent Green.
The investigation finds Charlton Heston getting his man, but also it leads to some horrifying truths about the Soylent Corporation and the future of mankind. As Heston shouts in the end that Soylent Green is made of people, that we've become a race of cannibals, the horrifying thing is that there is no alternative. We've exhausted the planet and we have to eat our dead to survive.
This was the farewell performance of Edward G. Robinson and in his memoirs Heston spoke movingly of Robinson even though they had differing political views. A few weeks after Robinson wrapped that final scene of his screen demise by consented euthanasia, he passed away in real life. Not many did, but Heston knew that Robinson was terminally and there was no acting involved in that final death scene between the two of them.
Though the timetable was off, it doesn't mean that the world envisioned by Soylent Green may not come to pass. Hopefully we'll have not just the intelligence, but the sense of shared responsibility to keep that from happening.

LONDON—Dow Jones & Co.'s top European executive resigned Tuesday following an internal investigation into two articles published in The Wall Street Journal Europe that featured a company with a contractual link to the paper's circulation department.
Dow Jones Andrew Langhoff quit Tuesday.
Andrew Langhoff, managing director of Dow Jones & Co. in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe, stepped down after an internal probe showed two articles in the paper's Special Reports section had been prompted by an agreement the circulation department struck with Executive Learning Partnership, or ELP, a Netherlands-based consulting firm.
"That relationship, overseen by a now-former employee, is no longer in place," Mr. Langhoff said in an internal email to employees. "Because the agreement could leave the impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial relationships, as publisher with executive oversight, I believe that my resignation is now the most honorable course," Mr. Langhoff said.
Dow Jones is a unit of News Corp., which owns all editions of The Wall Street Journal.
According to people familiar with the matter, an internal investigation at Dow Jones showed that Mr. Langhoff personally pressured two reporters into writing articles featuring ELP.
Related See the two special reports articles that now carry disclaimers. Investing in Women 3/14/2011 3/14/2011
A New Leaf 10/14/2010 10/14/2010
The Wall Street Journal Europe has appended disclaimers to two articles featuring ELP that ran in the paper's Special Reports section on Oct. 14, 2010, and Mar. 14, 2011. The disclaimer says the "impetus" for the stories was an agreement between The Wall Street Journal Europe's circulation department and ELP. It says "the reporting and writing were solely the responsibility of the News Department" and were not subject to review by the paper's circulation department or the firm. "However, any action that creates an impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial interests is a breach of the ethical standards of Dow Jones & Co.," the disclaimer says.
"I always understood that editorial had complete discretion and independence in writing these two articles," Mr. Langhoff said when asked to comment.
Between May 2009 and April 2011, ELP was a lead sponsor of the "Future Leadership Institute," an initiative of The Wall Street Journal Europe's circulation department, Nick Van Heck, a partner at ELP, said in an interview Tuesday.
Both Mr. Van Heck and a spokeswoman for Dow Jones & Co. declined to comment on the specifics of the contract. According to a person familiar with the matter, the agreement was a bulk-circulation deal in which discounted papers were sold to ELP for distribution to students and others, boosting the Journal's circulation in Europe.
People familiar with the matter said the contract included language suggesting ELP could receive some coverage in the pages of The Wall Street Journal Europe. A paragraph in the agreement gave the paper's news department final control over any article, including the possibility that no story at all would appear, one of the people said.
"It was made very clear to us that the editorial freedom, or the editorial independence, was not being infringed by this," Mr. Van Heck said. He said if executives from ELP were interviewed or included in the paper, that was the editorial staff's choice. Mr. Van Heck says ELP terminated the relationship earlier this year.
Still, last fall, Mr. Langhoff personally, and through people who worked with him, pressed for an article featuring ELP to fulfill the contractual obligation, people familiar with the matter said. A Special Reports reporter alerted the paper's then-editor, Patience Wheatcroft, who people familiar with the matter say reviewed the contractual language about editorial control. The article went forward and was published.
Ms. Wheatcroft left The Wall Street Journal Europe in late 2010 to join the U.K. House of Lords. She declined to comment Tuesday.
The following spring, Mr. Langhoff and others pressed for ELP to again be featured in an article, according to people familiar with the matter. The reporter didn't flag the assignment because he believed the practice was established policy, people familiar with the matter said.

The issue came to light after a former Dow Jones circulation employee in Europe lodged complaints about Mr. Langhoff and the ELP contract, people familiar with the matter said. An internal investigation was launched, leading top editors in New York to discover the editorial component of the deal and the two stories produced, according to the people familiar with the situation.
The Wall Street Journal Europe has a circulation of about 73,250. The paper runs themed Special Reports regularly.
New York-based News Corp. has been reeling from a scandal at News of the World, its now-closed British tabloid that intercepted voice-mail messages in pursuit of scoops and allegedly paid bribes to police.
Mr. Langhoff is the second top Dow Jones executive to depart in recent months. Les Hinton, chief executive of Dow Jones and before that executive chairman of News Corp.'s U.K. newspaper unit, resigned in July amid the backlash over the voice-mail hacking scandal at a now-closed tabloid. Mr. Hinton said he didn't know about the phone hacking but resigned because it occurred on his watch. Mr. Hinton is scheduled to appear before a parliamentary committee via video link Oct. 24.
Dow Jones said it will begin a search for Mr. Langhoff's successor. Kelly Leach, senior vice president and head of strategy for the company, will oversee Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the interim.
"Andrew has played a number of important roles at Dow Jones since 2003 and has been instrumental in successfully growing our businesses in Europe over the past several years," Todd Larsen, president of Dow Jones, said in a statement. Mr. Larsen said Mr. Langhoff built a strong team and left the paper with strong momentum in Europe.
Write to Paul Sonne at [email protected] and Bruce Orwall at [email protected] ||||| One of Rupert Murdoch's most senior European executives has resigned following Guardian inquiries about a circulation scam at News Corporation's flagship newspaper, the Wall Street Journal.
The Guardian found evidence that the Journal had been channelling money through European companies in order to secretly buy thousands of copies of its own paper at a knock-down rate, misleading readers and advertisers about the Journal's true circulation.
The bizarre scheme included a formal, written contract in which the Journal persuaded one company to co-operate by agreeing to publish articles that promoted its activities, a move which led some staff to accuse the paper's management of violating journalistic ethics and jeopardising its treasured reputation for editorial quality.
Internal emails and documents suggest the scam was promoted by Andrew Langhoff, the European managing director of the Journal's parent company, Dow Jones and Co, which was bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in July 2007. Langhoff resigned on Tuesday.
The highly controversial activities were organised in London and focused on the Journal's European edition, which circulates in the EU, Russia, and Africa. Senior executives in New York, including Murdoch's right-hand man, Les Hinton, were alerted to the problems last year by an internal whistleblower and apparently chose to take no action. The whistleblower was then made redundant.
In what appears to have been a damage limitation exercise following the Guardian's inquiries, Langhoff resigned on Tuesday, citing only the complaints of unethical interference in editorial coverage. Neither he nor an article published last night in the Wall Street Journal made any reference to the circulation scam nor to the fact that the senior management of Dow Jones in New York failed to act when they were alerted last year.
The affair will add weight to the fears of shareholders in Murdoch's parent company, NewsCorp, that the business has become a 'rogue corporation', operating outside normal rules. Some shareholders have launched a legal action in the US, attacking the Murdoch family after the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World and following lawsuits in which NewsCorp subsidiaries have been accused of hacking into competitors' computers and stealing their customers.
The Journal's decision to secretly purchase its own papers began with an unusual scheme to boost circulation, known as the Future Leadership Institute. Starting in January 2008, the Journal linked up with European companies who sponsored seminars for university students who were likely to be future leaders. The Journal rewarded the sponsors by publishing their names in a special panel published in the paper. The sponsors paid for that publicity by buying copies of the Journal at a knock-down rate of no more than 5¢ each. Those papers were then distributed to university students. At the bottom line, the sponsors enjoyed a prestigious link to the Journal, and the Journal boosted its circulation figures.
The scheme was controversial. The sponsoring companies were not reading the papers they were paying for; they were never even seeing them; and they were buying at highly reduced rates. The students to whom they were distributed may or may not have read them; none of the students paid for the papers they were being offered. But the Audit Bureau of Circulation ruled that the scheme was legitimate and by 2010, it was responsible for 41% of the European edition's daily sales – 31,000 copies out of a total of 75,000.
In early 2010 the scheme began to run into trouble when the biggest single sponsor, a Dutch company called Executive Learning Partnership, ELP, threatened to back out. ELP alone were responsible for 16% of the Journal's European circulation, sponsoring 12,000 copies a day for which they were paying only 1¢ per copy. For the 259 publishing days in a year, they were sponsoring 3.1m copies at a cost to them of €31,080 (£27,200). They complained that the publicity they were receiving was not enough return on their investment.
On 9 April 2010, Andrew Langhoff emailed ELP to table a new deal, explaining that "our clear goal is to add a new component to our partnership" and offering to "provide a well-branded showcase for ELP's valuable services". On 30 April, ELP agreed to continue to sponsor 12,000 copies at the same rate. But that deal included a new eight-page addendum, which the Guardian has seen.
The addendum included a collection of side deals: the Journal would give ELP free advertising and, in exchange, the ELP would produce "leadership videos" for them; they would jointly organise more seminars and workshops on themes connected to ELP's work; but, crucially, Langhoff agreed that the Journal would publish "a minimum of three special reports" that would be based on surveys of the European market which ELP would run with the Journal's help.
It is this agreement that is now being cited as the reason for Langhoff's resignation on Tuesday. It led to the Journal publishing a full-page feature on 14 October 2010 that reported a survey conducted by ELP about the use of social media in business, quoting ELP's chief executive at length. The story carried no warning for readers that it was the result of a deal between the Journal and ELP, nor that ELP were sponsoring 16% of the paper's European circulation. Similarly, there were no warnings attached to a second story, published on 14 March 2011, which consisted of an interview with one of ELP's senior partners, Ann de Jaeger, about the role of women in company boardrooms.
The ELP deal continued to cause more serious problems. Some Journal staff complained the agreement to run stories promoting ELP was unethical. On 12 July 2010, one London executive emailed that "some elements of the deal do not fit easily within best practice, brand guidelines and company policy". Others warned about the quality of the surveys on which the stories were to be based.
By the autumn of 2010, ELP were complaining that the Journal was failing to deliver its end of the agreement. They threatened not to make a payment of €15,000 that was due at the end of December, for the copies of the Journal which they had sponsored since April 30. Without the payment, the Journal could not officially record the sales and their circulation figures would suddenly dive by 16%, undermining the confidence of advertisers and readers.
So Langhoff set up a complex scheme to channel money to ELP to pay for the papers it had agreed to buy – effectively buying the papers with the Journal's own cash. This involved the use of other companies although it is not suggested that they were aware they were taking part in a scam.
The best-documented example involves an Indian technology company, HCL, who had separately agreed to pay the Journal €16,000 to organise a special event at the Grosvenor House hotel in London on 30 September 2010. Langhoff proposed that instead of paying the Journal, HCL should pass some of this money to a middleman – a Dutch publishing company – who would then pass it on to ELP.
Invoices and emails seen by the Guardian show that in November 2010, ELP sent two invoices, for €2,000 and €6,000, to the Dutch publishers of a magazine called Banking and Finance. The Dutch duly paid €8,000 to ELP, even though ELP had not provided any goods or services for which they owed this money. According to the invoices, however, the magazine were paying ELP sponsorship money for an event run by the Journal in the Belgian towns of Bree and Schilde in November 2010.
The Dutch magazine was sent €2,000 by HCL. A second payment of €6,000 was never made because HCL fell into dispute with the Journal. In December 2010, as part of an attempt to persuade the Journal to pay them the missing €6,000, the Dutch publishers' managing director, Michel Klompmaker, signed a formal letter that "hereby states that there has never been a contract between us and ELP regarding the sponsorship of a Wall Street Journal Bree/Schilde summit for €6,000. We agreed to be a facilitator in a payment process between the Journal, HCL and ELP per request of the Journal".
An email from Andrew Langhoff on 26 November 2010 includes a diagram that indicates money was channelled to ELP through two other middlemen. This suggests that Langhoff wanted €15,000 sent to ELP via a Belgian company called Think Media, which sells space on billboards. An invoice dated 2 December 2010, shows that ELP invoiced Think Media for €15,000. An email from 20 December shows that Think Media had paid the €15,000 to ELP. In a series of phone calls and emails to Think Media, the Guardian put it to the company that ELP had provided no goods or services in exchange for this payment, and that the payment was made at the request of the Journal. Think Media declined to respond.
The same diagram suggests Langhoff wanted a further €2,000 channelled to ELP through a Belgian technology company, Nayan, which had occasionally sponsored Journal events. Nayan confirmed to the Guardian that they had paid ELP €2,000 in December 2010. They say they understood that ELP were owed this money by the Journal because they had put in some work on a Journal event, and that Nayan paid it as part of their agreement to sponsor the event. A Journal source with direct knowledge of the event says that Nayan were misled by the paper, and that ELP provided no services at the event for which they were due to be paid.
While these payments were being made, a whistleblower from the Journal in Europe contacted the management of Dow Jones in New York and alerted them to the circulation scam and to the controversial agreement to publish articles promoting ELP. Emails seen by the Guardian indicate that the whistleblower's complaint was seen by New York executives, including Les Hinton – then the chief executive of Dow Jones and a close confidant of Rupert Murdoch. Hinton resigned in July in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World.
The emails show that the chief human resources officer for Dow Jones, Gregory Giangrande, organised a meeting in London on 14 December at which the whistleblower detailed his allegations to a Dow Jones lawyer from New York, Tom Maher, and Dow Jones' European human resources executive Carol Bosack.
After the meeting, Bosack emailed the whistleblower: "You are expected to keep details and your reaction or beliefs about the recent events confidential and not shared with anyone external or internal to the business. This matter is to be kept between us, Andrew [Langhoff], Internal Audit and Corporate Legal." No action was apparently taken at that time on the whistleblower's allegations. The whistleblower, who had worked for Dow Jones for 9 years, was made redundant in January.
According to one source, recent Guardian inquiries among former Journal staff and companies who were involved in the payments to ELP "caused a panic" at Dow Jones, resulting in Andrew Langhoff's resignation on Tuesday.
The Wall Street Journal last night reported that Langhoff's resignation "following an internal investigation into two articles published in the Wall Street Journal Europe that featured a company with a contractual link to the paper's circulation department."
It quoted an email sent to staff yesterday by Langhoff about the agreement to publish the ELP stories: "Because the agreement could leave the impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial relationships, as publisher with executive oversight, I believe that my resignation is now the most honorable course." Disclaimers have now been added to the two stories, warning readers that the "impetus" for the stories was an agreement between the Journal's circulation department and ELP.
Asked about the payments from the Journal to ELP via the various middlemen, the chairman of ELP, Nick van Heck, said it was the company's policy not to make public comment on their contracts. He added: "I am confident that every member of our staff is fully aware of the European norms, which are very rigid when it comes to accounting. I'm pretty confident that what we did was in line with the law."
On Tuesday afternoon Dow Jones issued a statement saying said it initiated the original investigation into the deals in question and the employees involved in late 2010. "The circulation programs and the copies associated with ELP were legitimate and appropriate, and the agreement was shared with ABC UK before the deal was signed," the statement said. "All circulation periods during the ELP arrangement have been certified."
"We came to the conclusion that ELP was only compensated for valid services; however, we were uncomfortable with the appearance of these programs and the manner in which they were arranged. We subsequently eliminated the position of one of the employees responsible for those deals in January 2011.
"At this point, we no longer have relationships with the employees or third parties directly involved in these agreements, and we continue to believe that these deals were valid. They were however of poor appearance. We were not fully aware of the details of the editorial component of the relationship until last week, when we immediately took action."
• This article was amended on 24 October 2011. The original described Banking and Finance as a Belgian magazine. It is based in Amsterdam, although it publishes an edition for Belgium and Luxembourg. This has been corrected. |||||Summary: |
– A top executive in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has quit after questions were raised about possible manipulation of circulation figures of the Wall Street Journal's Europe edition. Andrew Langhoff resigned as publishing chief of Dow Jones & Co. after the Guardian reported that the newspaper had devised a scheme allowing European companies to secretly buy thousands of copies at bargain rates. In a written agreement one company reportedly agreed to buy copies in exchange for positive articles. The arrangement was reportedly orchestrated in London and focused on the Journal's European edition, which is distributed in the EU, Russia, and Africa. A Wall Street Journal article announcing the resignation said Langhoff quit following an "internal investigation into two articles in the Wall Street Journal Europe that featured a company with a contractual link to the paper's circulation department." Because the agreement "could leave the impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial relationships, as publisher with executive oversight, I believe that my resignation is now the most honorable course," Langhoff wrote. In the circulation arrangement revealed in the Guardian, the Journal's Europe edition printed the names of companies that sponsored student seminars. In exchange they purchased up to 41% of the daily European editions for as little as 1-5 cents. | 7 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |
In Christianity, an archbishop (, via Latin "archiepiscopus", from Greek , from -, "chief", and , "bishop") is a bishop of higher rank or office. In some cases, like the Lutheran Church of Sweden, it is the denomination leader title. Like popes, patriarchs, metropolitans, cardinal bishops, diocesan bishops, and suffragan bishops, archbishops are in the highest of the three traditional orders of bishops, priests, also called presbyters, and deacons. An archbishop may be granted the title, or ordained as chief pastor of a metropolitan see or another episcopal see to which the title of archbishop is attached.
Episcopal sees are generally arranged in groups in which the bishop who is the ordinary of one of them has certain powers and duties of oversight over the other sees. He is known as the metropolitan archbishop of that see. In the Roman Catholic Church, canon 436 of the Code of Canon Law indicates what these powers and duties are for a Latin Rite metropolitan archbishop, while those of the head of an autonomous ("sui iuris") Eastern Catholic Church are indicated in canon 157 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches.
As well as the much more numerous metropolitan sees, there are 77 Roman Catholic sees that have archiepiscopal rank. In some cases, such a see is the only one in a country, such as Luxembourg or Monaco, too small to be divided into several dioceses so as to form an ecclesiastical province. In others, the title of archdiocese is for historical reasons attributed to a see that was once of greater importance.

All I had was an incredible urge to slam my head against the theatre wall to help me forget about the last hour and a half. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Honestly, this movie has nothing to recommend. The humor was at the first grade level, at best, the acting was overly silly, and the plot was astronomically far-fetched.

Here is a question about this article: As war broke out, Maglione, Tardini and Montini were the main figures in the Vatican's State Department, as despatches originated from or addressed to them during the war years.[page needed] Montini was in charge of taking care of the "ordinary affairs" of the Secretariat of State, which took much of the mornings of every working day. In the afternoon he moved to the third floor into the Office of the Private Secretary of the Pontiff. Pius XII did not have a personal secretary. As did several popes before him, he delegated the secretarial functions to the State Secretariat. During the war years, thousands of letters from all parts of the world arrived at the desk of the pope, most of them asking for understanding, prayer and help. Montini was tasked to formulate the replies in the name of Pius XII, expressing his empathy, and understanding and providing help, where possible.

(CNN) -- Chris Froome conquered Mont Ventoux at the Tour de France to extend his overall lead with a week remaining in cycling's most prestigious race.
In a fascinating battle Sunday, Team Sky's Froome caught and then passed Nairo Quintana during the steep 13-mile climb to give him a four-minute cushion over his nearest rivals.
A spent Froome had to be given oxygen when the 15th stage -- the longest of this year's Tour at 150 miles -- ended but he'll get a chance to recover during Monday's day off.
On Bastille Day French hopes were dashed, as Sylvain Chavanel lost his lead to Movistar's Quintana before the Colombian faded and Froome charged.
"I thought he'd be less strong than he was," Quintana told the Tour's website.
Froome has now won both stages with summit finishes.
"I didn't expect to win," Britain's Froome said after nearly six hours of racing. "I wanted to get more of a buffer on the general classification but I didn't think I could go for the win.
"Quintana is a very strong climber and I wasn't expecting him to go from as far as he did but hats off to him. He did a great ride and he showed how strong he is."
Despite the gruelling end to the stage, Froome and Quintana -- one to watch for the future -- had time for a quick chat.
"In the last (1.2 miles) he was fading a little and I still had a little bit left," said Froome. "I was just trying to say, 'Man, come on just a little bit more, we're almost there.' But he was slipping behind.

Nathan Phipps, 34, was taking his newly-bought Renault Clio for a test drive. He was stopped and told he was being charged for driving without insurance. Police officer slapped a sticker on Clio saying 'No insurance means no car' He then posted a photo of the car on Twitter - before seizing the vehicle. Charges were dropped next day when Mr Phipps proved he had insurance. But father-of-one, from Earby, Lancs, still had to pay to have car released.
Article: | A driver had to pay £150 to have his car released after police wrongly accused him of driving without insurance - and tweeted a photo of the seized car before he could prove his innocence. Nathan Phipps, 34, was left stranded at the side of the A19 near Skipton, North Yorkshire when police pulled him over as he was taking his newly-bought Renault Clio for a test drive. The security guard, from Earby, Lancashire, was questioned by officers and told he was being charged with driving without insurance - an offence which carries a £300 fine and six penalty points. Nathan Phipps, 34, from Earby, Lancashire, pictured left, was furious when police posted a photo on Twitter, pictured right, claiming he was driving without insurance - despite him proving his innocence the next day. Mr Phipps insisted he was covered by third party insurance but was left standing at the roadside when police seized the vehicle. He and his girlfriend Jane Jarvis, 39, who were with their two dogs, then had to find their own way home. But before leaving, the officer slapped a sticker on the Clio, saying 'No insurance means no car!'. The officer then took a photo of the car and posted it on Twitter with the message: 'finished the day as started, another no insurance £seized'. The next day, Mr Phipps took his insurance documents to the station, proving he had third party insurance and the charges were dropped. But Mr Phipps still have to pay £150 to have his car released - despite it being unfairly seized. And his colleagues knew all about the incident the next day - become someone had seen the post online. Now the father--of-one has lodged an official complaint against the North Yorkshire officer who stopped him on September 18. He said: 'I'm absolutely disgusted. It was my girlfriend's car and we had just bought it. 'I've used the garage a lot so they said I could take it for a drive and if I wanted any extra work doing on it, they would carry it out and I could pick it up the next day. Mr Phipps had to pay £150 to retrieve the car after police seized it at the side of the A19, near Skipton. North Yorkshire Police confirmed that no action was being taken with the no insurance. The force added that Mr Phipps' complaint was being investigated. 'I knew I was covered by my third party insurance and I was absolutely positive I had all the documents at home to prove it. I told the officer this when he stopped me but he wouldn't listen. 'He was very arrogant and he just kept playing with his phone. I told him to ring my insurance company to check it out and he said he would. 'But he came back a few minutes later and told me he'd phoned and they said I had no insurance.' After being left stranded on the side of the road, Mr Phipps had to ring his father to pick him up from the side of the road. He continued: 'I knew at the time it was a mistake. I don't know why they told him I had no insurance but I'm sure that was just a misunderstanding. 'But what really annoyed me was when I saw what he was doing on his phone. 'When he started taking the picture of my car, I asked him what he was doing and he said he had a Twitter account and he and a few of the lads had a good laugh about it. I said I didn't find it funny at all. 'A few minutes later, when I looked at the screen I saw him send the Tweet with a picture of my car. 'When I told him I was not happy about it he just told me 'it was done' and there was nothing he could do about it.' He added: 'Once I proved I had insurance they decided to drop it so I haven't had to pay the £300 fine or had the six penalty points. 'But the police said if I want get my £154 back I have to go to a solicitor. I haven't received a single apology either. 'When I got into work the next day, my colleagues knew about it because someone had seen it on Twitter.' After lodging his complaint, Nathan has been told that police regard tweeting as a useful public relations exercise. He added: 'I don't think it is good PR at all - I think it is highly unprofessional. 'The officer should not have been on his phone Tweeting when I was standing there, and he put it out that I was uninsured when I was. 'I am totally disgusted. I wouldn't do it at work and I don't think he should have done it either. Plus all my colleagues were aware of it and so I looked really bad. 'I don't know what I'm going to do next but they've picked on the wrong person.' North Yorkshire Police confirmed that no action was being taken with the no insurance. The force added that the complaint was being investigated. A spokesman said: 'As this issue is the subject of an investigation by the force's professional standards department, it is not appropriate for us to comment at this time.' | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |
Abdali invaded the Mughal Empire seven times from 1748 to 1767. According to Jaswant Lal Mehta, Durrani aroused the Afghans "religious passions" to fire and "sword into the land of infidels India." He crossed the Khyber pass in December 1747 with 40,000 troops for his first invasion of India. He occupied Peshawar without any opposition. He first crossed the Indus River in 1748, the year after his ascension - his forces sacked and absorbed Lahore. The following year , the Mughal ruler was induced to cede Sindh and all of the Punjab including the vital trans Indus River to him, in order to save his capital from being attacked by the forces of the Durrani Empire. Having thus gained substantial territories to the east without a fight, Durrani and his forces turned westward to take possession of Herat, which was ruled by Nader Shah's grandson, Shah Rukh. The city fell to the Afghans in 1750, after almost a year of siege and bloody conflict; the Afghan forces then pushed on into present-day Iran, capturing Nishapur and Mashhad in 1751. Durrani then pardoned Shah Rukh and reconstituted Khorasan, but a tributary of the Durrani Empire. This marked the westernmost border of the Afghan Empire as set by the Pul-i-Abrisham, on the Mashhad-Tehran road.

So Ryan Giggs has taken his leave, in his 41st year, from the playing ranks of the only club he ever served. The hosannas ring loudly. Rio Ferdinand, his comrade in many Manchester United glories, joked that Giggs collected so many gold medals he puts BA Baracus, of A-Team fame, to shame. His c.v. includes two European Cups, 13 Premier League titles, four FA Cups and four League Cups, making him the most decorated player in the history of the English game. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Ryan Giggs and Thierry Henry. A myth: Ryan Giggs can't be considered the greatest player in Premier League history, despite being the most decorated - his long career has been clouded by sentiment and wrapped in hyperbole. Mr Consistent: Giggs made a record 963 appearances in Red, scoring 168 goals. The best: Arsenal's former talisman Thierry Henry is the best ever player to grace the Premier League. Also to be. applauded was his quiet yet fierce work ethic. He husbanded his physical. gifts in a way redolent of the long careers of the old knights, Sir Tom. Finney and Sir Stanley Matthews. When he put on his suit for the first. match of his short stint as interim manager last month, he was as svelte. a figure as any seen on the touchline. The wiry, teenage Giggs had. preserved himself as if in aspic to play nearly 1,000 games for United. No. wonder the sportswriter Kevin Garside observed that Giggs was the rare. player ‘to evoke a sense of nostalgia while still on the pitch’. That, however, points to the problem with any critical appreciation of the man. He has become a myth. The facts have been clouded by sentiment and wrapped in hyperbole. Nothing demonstrated this more clearly than his being named 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He did not deserve the award on the evidence of those 12 months. It was bestowed on him in a fuzzy, sepia-tinged urge to recognise his longevity. Myths are not always outright lies, though. They are often fact embellished by fiction. So, even though Giggs only retired from playing yesterday, we should perhaps start to try to disentangle fact from fiction. And one fiction, it seems to me, is the assertion that he is the greatest player in the Premier League’s 22-year history. Winner: Giggs won 34 major honours in a glittering career at Old Trafford. Honours: They included 13 titles, four FA Cups and two Champions League titles. Invincibles: Arsenal players celebrate winning the league at White Hart Lane during their unbeaten season. Trademark: Henry scored 175 goals for Arsenal, the most by a player for a single club in the Premier League. I would contend that Thierry Henry, Arsenal’s most brillant light when they went uniquely unbeaten all season, is worthy of that accolade. His graceful speed, his incisive runs, his nerveless finishing have imprinted themselves most vividly on my mind. He scored 175 Premier League goals, more than anyone else at a single club. There are other worthy contenders: the miserly Keane, the footloose Ronaldo, the balletic Bergkamp, the forceful Vieira, the lethal Shearer, the ingenious Zola, the imperious Cantona, the skilful Scholes, the cottage industry of Gerrard. Giggs is worthy of comparison with them all, but we are left to ponder whether he entirely delivered on the promise that thrilled us when he was a 17-year-old winger with scampering feet. Undeserved: Giggs won the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year as a nod to his longevity. Long game: Giggs burst on to the scene as a wiry teenager at the end of the 1990-91 season - before the formation of the Premier League. Match-winners: Eric Cantona (left), Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney (below) were always bigger stars when they played alongside Giggs - the Welshman was never the club's main man for any sustained period. He played on longer than any. contemporary, helped by his move from the wing to deep midfield in his. later years, yet he failed to become United’s star man for any sustained. period in any single phase of his career. There were always more. dependable game-changers, the likes of Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo,. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie. Even David Beckham deployed his more. limited attributes as a footballer to more clinical effect as a maker of. goals, from the right-side of midfield. Giggs. was bizarrely ineffectual in the final third of the pitch, too often. crossing in hope, as if happy to waft the responsibility on to others. rather than to seize it himself. The fact he did not often enough take. command of a game is reflected by his failure to win, or come close to. winning, the individual European or world honours that were handed to. Ronaldo and the young Michael Owen. He failed to move into the class of. the truly, global greats. (In. the spirit of fairness, I should acknowledge that my choice as the. Premier League’s greatest, Henry, did not win the Ballon d’Or either.) Lengthy: Sir Alex Ferguson converted Giggs from a flying winger to a crafty central midfielder. Better: Both Dennis Bergkamp (left) and Alan Shearer had a bigger impact on the Premier League than Giggs. Impact: Even David Beckham, with a more limited skill-set, was able to score and create more than Giggs did. Brilliant: Giggs scored a superb goal in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal but too often he was ineffectual. As for Giggs representing the best traditions of our national game, the verdict here is split. He was never sent off in a Manchester United shirt (though he was once for Wales). He withstood the sirens of riches and celebrity. But there were black marks against his saintly image: most notably, his long affair with his brother’s wife, of all people. He was a fine player, and even a dazzling one in his mop-haired youth. We are just saying, beware the myth.
What are highlight points for this article? | The Manchester United legend may be the most decorated player in Premier League history but his legacy has been clouded by sentiment. Thierry Henry is still the best to grace the league in its 22-year history. Roy Keane, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Cristiano Ronaldo and others can all claim to have had a bigger impact than the Welsh wizard. Giggs was never Sir Alex Ferguson's star man for any sustained period. | 3 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama will rack up plenty of frequent flyer miles this summer with planned trips in Africa, Russia and Italy. President Obama will travel to Ghana for two days after the G8 Summit in July. Obama, along with his wife, Michelle, will visit Accra, Ghana, on July 10 and July 11, the White House said Saturday. It will follow Obama's trip to the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy, from July 8 to July 10. Obama will address various bilateral and regional issues with Ghanaian President John Atta Mills, the White House said in a news statement. "The President and Mrs. Obama look forward to strengthening the U.S. relationship with one of our most trusted partners in sub-Saharan Africa, and to highlighting the critical role that sound governance and civil society play in promoting lasting development," according to the statement. Obama announced a week ago that he will visit Egypt on June 4 to deliver a speech on America's relationship with the Muslim world. Egypt is "a country that in many ways represents the heart of the Arab world," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said at the time. Gibbs deflected several questions at his daily briefing about whether Egypt is a wise choice given President Hosni Mubarak's resistance to making his government more democratic. Obama originally promised to deliver the speech during his first 100 days, but senior administration officials say the date slipped in part because of security and logistical issues. Obama has visited Africa before as a senator. In 2006, he received a hero's welcome in his father's native Kenya. Before the G8 summit, the president is scheduled to travel to Moscow from July 6 to July 8 at the invitation of Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev. The G8 is made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, England and the United States.

Call them the not-so-friendly skies. A flight attendant cursed out passengers, grabbed a beer then triggered an emergency chute Monday at a JFK Airport terminal, authorities say. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said it "appears" Steven Slater was quitting. "It's a strange way to quit, let's put it that way," he said. "I don't think he'll be able to come back." Share your dramatic work exit story. Police arrested Slater for allegedly triggering the emergency escape chute, a spokeswoman for the district attorney said. Slater was arrested at his home and charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and criminal trespass, said Helen Peterson at the Queens District Attorney's Office. The incident took place just after the Jet Blue flight landed when a passenger stood to remove a bag from the overhead bin while the plane was still taxiing, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge said. A flight attendant exchanged words with the passenger, and the conversation escalated. Slater picked up the intercom and used expletives directed at the passengers, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. It is not clear exactly what was said on the intercom. The source said that when the plane at stopped at the gate, Slater then grabbed some beer from the beverage cart before deploying the emergency slide and using it to leave the plane. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that it "appears" the flight attendant quit his job in a very dramatic way. "I know the facts that have been related to me -- the plane was taxiing in, some passenger got up to take their bag down, the steward -- flight attendant -- approached, told him to not do that," said Kelly. "He called him an expletive and apparently hit him or pushed him in some way. The story got on the radio based on a statement that 'I've been doing this for twenty years and I'm out of here.'" "It's a strange way to quit, let's put it that way," he said. "I don't think he'll be able to come back." The law enforcement source said that Port Authority police did not learn about the incident for about 20 to 25 minutes after it took place. Jet Blue public affairs would not respond to that claim. The airline also would not confirm any details of the incident but said that the evacuation slide was deployed on a plane that had parked at the gate after arriving from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The identity of the passenger involved in the altercation has not been confirmed. As a rule, passengers are required to stay in their seats with their seatbelts fastened until the pilot has reached the gate and gives the all clear sign. Peterson said the second degree criminal mischief and first degree reckless endangerment charges are felonies that could land Slater in jail for up to seven years. The criminal trespass charge and two other lesser mischief and endangerment charges are misdemeanors. CNN's Doug Gross contributed to this report.

Nice venue with 3 different chapel sizes to fit the needs and capacity allowance for anyone getting married. Located in the Augustus Tower. It's the newer tower and such a plus is that it has its own valet so if they have room to take your car, you are mere steps and a short elevator or walk up one flight of stairs to the wedding chapel on the 2nd level. Close friends of ours recently picked to renew their vows after 10 years of marriage at Caesars. It was a really nice ceremony, the person officiating the vow renewal & the wedding coordinator did a great job. They do not allow any photography or video during the ceremony but I didnt mind that. You're there to witness an exchange of wedding vows and it should be taken in and held special. No need to be trying to get the photo or video at the expense of missing the ceremony. The chapel was elegant. I cant remember the name of the chapel we were in but it was the biggest one of the 3. It had more chairs, a longer center aisle and had a nice stained glass circular centerpiece that looked great. This larger chapel was the one nearest to Guy Savoy restaurant (2 star Michelin!). There are restrooms on the floor and this particular chapel also had a bridal room right before the entrance. It was a beautiful ceremony in a really nice venue orchestrated by seasoned professionals. I'd say that was a success and recommend it highly to those thinking of taking the plunge there. It was a very memorable ceremony to witness for all my friends & I.

It could have been a better film. It does drag at points, and the central story shifts from Boyer completing his mission to Boyer avenging Wanda Hendrix's death, but Graham Greene is an author who is really hard to spoil. His stories are all morality tales, due to his own considerations of Catholicism, guilt and innocence (very relative terms in his world view), and the human condition.
Boyer is Luis Denard, a well-known concert pianist, who has sided with the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. He has been sent to England to try to carry through an arms purchase deal that is desperately needed. Unfortunately for Denard he is literally on his own - everyone of his contacts turns out to be a willing turncoat for the Falagists of Spain. In particular Katina Paxinou (Mrs. Melendez) a grim boarding house keeper, and Peter Lorre (Mr. Contreras) a teacher of an "esperanto" type international language. Wanda Hendrix is the drudge of a girl (Else) who works for Mrs. Melendez. The local diplomat, Licata (Victor Francken) is already a willing associate of the Falangists.
The Brits (Holmes Herbert, Miles Mander, and best - if not worst - of the lot, George Coulouris) don't give much hope to Boyer's cause (which he soon grasps may be Britain's before long). Herbert and Mander just retreat behind the official policy of neutrality ordered by the Ramsay MacDonald's and Stanley Baldwin's governments during the Civil War. Coulouris here is a typical Col. Blimp type - always impeccable in his native English diction, he is sharp in showing his dislike for foreigners in general.
The one ray of hope is Lauren Bacall (Rose Cullen), here trying to play her role as well as she can - but she can't really. She's an aristocrat - the daughter of a Press lord. It was Bacall's second film, and (sad to say) almost sank her long career. She does act well, but the spark she showed in her first film was due to the dual effect of starring with Humphrey Bogart and being directed by Howard Hawks. Boyer is a fine actor, but he's not Bogie, and Herman Shumlin is not Hawks. Her next film returned her to Bogie and Hawks again, and her star resumed it's ascendancy.
It's a bleak film (as was the novel). Boyer's mission never succeeds, as he has too many hidden foes all over the place. But the villains are likewise also losers - frequently with their lives.
With Dan Seymour as a suspicious foreign tenant of Katina Paxinou (and the man who destroys her). It is well worth watching to catch the Warner's lot of character actors doing their best given the weakness in direction.

Article:Only minor work will take place along a contested section of the route near the home of Seamus Heaney, which is set to face a further legal challenge.
The development of a stretch of the A6 at Toomebridge was the subject of an unsuccessful court case over concerns about its environmental impact.
The £160m road was a flagship project for the former NI Executive.
Work will begin on sections between Randalstown and Toomebridge and from Moyola to the Castledawson roundabout.
The A6 Hillhead Road in Toomebridge will be closed from 20:00 BST on Friday until 18:00 BST on Saturday for work on a 350m-stretch from Blackpark Road to the Creagh roundabout.
Environmentalist Chris Murphy lost a court case challenging part of the route around Toomebridge on the basis that a proper assessment had not been completed in to its impact on protected swans.
The part of the route he challenged runs close to the key wetland of Lough Beg, which has internationally protected status.
Mr Murphy plans to lodge an appeal next week.
The authorities have said the project will reduce peak journey times by a quarter and improve safety on a busy road used by 18,000 vehicles a day.
They hope the entire scheme will be substantially complete in early 2021, with the Randalstown to Toomebridge section open to traffic by 2019.
The Department of Infrastructure said it had met all of its environmental commitments to ensure no adverse impact on protected flowers or animals, including the whooper swans.
It said that along the contested section of route only "essential work involving alterations to utility supplies, minor archaeology/geotechnical testing and ground preparation to the south of the existing bypass will be completed at this time".
It added that it would work to conclude any further legal challenges as soon as possible.

When Marilynne Robinson published her first novel, Housekeeping, in 1980, she was unknown in the literary world. But an early review in The New York Times ensured that the book would be noticed. "It's as if, in writing it, she broke through the ordinary human condition with all its dissatisfactions, and achieved a kind of transfiguration ," wrote Anatole Broyard, with an enthusiasm and amazement that was shared by many critics and readers. The book became a classic, and Robinson was recognized as one of the outstanding American writers of our time. Yet it would be more than twenty years before she wrote another novel.
During the period, Robinson devoted herself to writing nonfiction. Her essays and book reviews appeared in Harper's and The New York Times Book Review, and in 1989 she published Mother Country: Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, criticizing severely the environmental and public health dangers caused by the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in England--and the political and moral corruption . In 1998, Robinson published a collection of her critical and theological writings, The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought, which featured reassessments of such figures as Charles Darwin, John Calvin, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Aside from a single short story--"Connie Bronson," published in The Paris Review in 1986--it wasn't until 2004 that she returned to fiction with the novel Gilead, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, came out this fall.
Her novels could be described as celebrations of the human--the characters in them are unforgettable creations. Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her sister Lucille, who are cared for by their eccentric Aunt Sylvie after their mother commits suicide. Robinson writes a lot about how each of the three is changed by their new life together. Gilead is an even more close exploration of personality: the book centres on John Ames, a seventy-seven-year-old pastor who is writing an account of his life and his family history to leave to his young son after he dies. Home borrows characters from Gilead but centers on Ames's friend Reverend Robert Boughton and his troubled son Jack. Robinson returned to the same territory as Gilead because, she said, "after I write a novel or a story, I miss the characters--I feel like losing some close friends."

2. When was it written?

Setting strong boundaries with abusive adult children is essential, but don't do so at the risk of your safety. If you feel threatened or think you may be in immediate danger, get yourself out of the situation before trying to come up with a solution. Ask your child to leave if you feel unsafe. Or, leave the environment yourself and go to a friend or neighbor's home. If you have been hurt or have been threatened, contact the local police or County Adult Protective Services. If you need medical attention, call emergency services right away. Learn to tactfully put your foot down when your children are being abusive. This helps demonstrate that you will not tolerate the behavior. If they yell or call you names, say “Please don't yell” or “I will not tolerate name-calling.” Explain what will happen if the inappropriate behavior occurs. Do this clearly and thoroughly so there is no question regarding what steps you'll take if the boundary is crossed. For example, you might say, “If you yell or call me names, I will discontinue the conversation” or “If you come to my home drunk, I will call the police.” If it's necessary, refuse to open your door and change your locks if they have a key. Show your adult children that you mean business and will not allow the unacceptable behavior to continue. You can do this by actually enforcing the consequence you said you would. For instance, if you said you would not engage in conversation if there is yelling or name-calling, disengage and leave the room. If you said you'd call the police when your child comes by under the influence, do so. Be sure that you only verbalize consequences that you are ready and willing to follow through with. That way, you can be consistent every time a boundary is violated.

Most arteries carry oxygenated blood; the two exceptions are the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it. The effective arterial blood volume is that extracellular fluid which fills the arterial system.

Interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour sent a letter to the family of jailed Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy on Sunday telling him that Fahmy "will enjoy all his rights guaranteed by Egyptian law." Mansour also ordered Egypt's interior minister to follow up on Fahmy's health condition and "to provide all possible care." Fahmy, a former CNN producer, injured his shoulder before his arrest in December while working as bureau chief for Al Jazeera English in Cairo. He's complained about not getting proper medical treatment while in prison. He says that because of the lack of treatment, he no longer has full use of his right arm. On Saturday, Fahmy, escorted by heavily armed, balaclava-wearing guards, arrived at a civilian hospital for the first time for a shoulder scan. Friends and family talked to him through the steel mesh of a prisoner transport vehicle before he was taken inside, where they had more access. The visit by family and friends "put him in a good mood," said Fahmy's fiancee, Marwa Abdel Magid. "It's the first time I've seen him smile since he got arrested." Fahmy, who was seen barely able to lift his arm during his examination, had MRI and CT scans at the hospital. He said he and his colleagues -- Al Jazeera correspondent Peter Greste and producer Baher Mohamed -- were in good spirits. They also now receive daily newspapers to alleviate the boredom while they wait for their trial to end. Fahmy said he wanted more time outside his windowless cell with his colleagues. He also wants his case resolved faster and more time with his lawyer than the 45 minutes he receives before each session. In the letter, the interim President promised to "make sure the case is resolved quickly and that justice is achieved according to the law." Fahmy, Greste and Mohamed have been detained for almost three months after security services raided their workspace at the Marriott hotel. The Egyptian government says they distorted their coverage in favor of ousted President Mohamed Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood, which is designated a terrorist group in Egypt. They are on trial, charged with spreading false news and belonging to a terrorist organization, which Al Jazeera strongly denies. The case has been widely condemned internationally as an attack on free speech. Their trial will resume on March 31.

Igor returned to Kiev keen for revenge. He assembled a large force of warriors from among neighboring Slavs and Pecheneg allies, and sent for reinforcements of Varangians from “beyond the sea.” In 944 the Rus' force advanced again on the Greeks, by land and sea, and a Byzantine force from Cherson responded. The Emperor sent gifts and offered tribute in lieu of war, and the Rus' accepted. Envoys were sent between the Rus’, the Byzantines, and the Bulgarians in 945, and a peace treaty was completed. The agreement again focused on trade, but this time with terms less favorable to the Rus’, including stringent regulations on the conduct of Rus’ merchants in Cherson and Constantinople and specific punishments for violations of the law. The Byzantines may have been motivated to enter the treaty out of concern of a prolonged alliance of the Rus', Pechenegs, and Bulgarians against them, though the more favorable terms further suggest a shift in power.

An effort to persuade the University of Missouri to stop using live pigs to train emergency room doctors has failed.
On Thursday, the Washington, D.C.,-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine brought national advocates and local activists together outside University Hospital to bring public pressure to bear to end the use of swine in physician training. The demonstration was organized after MU declined to agree to the group's call to abandon the use of pigs.
The university’s Animal Care and Use Committee, in a vote earlier this month, approved continuing the protocol governing their use through November 2020.
MU is the only one of five emergency residency programs in the state that still uses pigs, said Kerry Foley, a retired emergency physician who worked for Georgetown University and other hospitals for 26 years. Only 16 of 211 emergency residency programs in the U.S. and Canada use pigs to train doctors, according to a survey conducted by the organization.
“They were used originally because the technology wasn’t available and now the technology is available,” Foley said as she picketed the hospital with about a dozen others. “You can now obtain things called perfused cadavers, which are very lifelike and true to the experience of working on real patients.”
In a statement to the Tribune, MU defended the use of live pigs as an important supplement to training done in simulation labs.
“Our goal at the University of Missouri is to provide our emergency medicine resident physicians the skills and procedural knowledge necessary to save the lives of our patients,” spokeswoman Jennifer Coffman wrote.
It is not possible to do complete training through simulations, she wrote.
“In the extremely rare instances (approximately six animals per year) when we need to train emergency medicine resident physicians on life-saving measures that are not adequately replicated through simulation, we use humane and strict protocols that are reviewed by the university’s Animal Care and Use Committee.”
According to the protocol, pigs provide training a simulated patient cannot to practice life-saving techniques.
“These procedures when required on humans need to be performed rapidly and accurately,” the protocol approved in 2015 states. “Allowing physicians to train on pig models allows this to happen.”
According to the protocol, the eight residents accepted each year for the three-year program need six pigs for every six month session to complete the training. Each pig is anesthetized before training begins and then subjected to eight procedures. The first is to cut through the skin to a vein for access, followed by inserting a deep line to administer fluids, opening the abdomen to determine if fluid is accumulating and inserting an electrode through a vein to reach the heart.
The next steps are inserting a chest tube to remove fluid, opening the chest to reach the heart and cutting an airway into the throat. After the pig is dead, the residents learn a technique to drain fluid from the sac around the heart.
“Procedures will be performed multiple times by multiple residents on the same animal,” the 2015 protocol states.
None of that training requires a pig, Foley said.
“We would put forward that the use of baby pigs to teach surgical airway techniques to these residents or chest tube insertions to these residents, it is not true to human anatomy,” she said. “It is much more germane for the students to be learning on actual clinical anatomy models.”
Columbia registered nurse Nestor MacKno took part in the demonstration. He said he has been a nurse for 30 years and opposes all research using animals. He said he eats meat but won’t purchase any product that has been raised in a manner he considers inhumane.
“I think they need to modernize medical training to bring it in line with the rest of the country,” McKno said. “I have been involved in this for a long time. We organized in 1989 to stop the killing of dogs in the physiology labs.”
Social worker Lisa VanHoose, who said she is a vegetarian, said she has had a pig as a pet and would feel hypocritical if she didn’t participate in the demonstration.
“I am just a big animal lover and I think the university likes to be on the cutting edge and I don’t understand why they are behind on this issue,” she said.
In the statement, Coffman wrote that the university has a strong commitment to human and animal health and that it has worked to expand the adoption of research animals after they are used in experimentation.

573-815-1709 ||||| COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri says it will continue to use live pigs to train emergency room doctors, despite protests involving national and local advocates.
Last week, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine organized a rally outside University Hospital to advocate ending the use of swine in physician training. The demonstration was organized after the university's Animal Care and Use Committee voted earlier this month to continue the practice through November 2020, The Columbia Daily Tribune reports .
Kerry Foley, a retired emergency physician for 26 years, said Missouri is the only one of five emergency residency programs in the state that still uses pigs. A survey conducted by the physicians committee found only 16 of 211 emergency residency programs in the U.S. and Canada use pigs to train doctors.
"They were used originally because the technology wasn't available and now the technology is available," Foley said as she picketed outside the hospital. "You can now obtain things called perfused cadavers, which are very lifelike and true to the experience of working on real patients."
In a statement to the Tribune, Missouri officials said live pigs were an important supplement to training in simulation labs.
"Our goal at the University of Missouri is to provide our emergency medicine resident physicians the skills and procedural knowledge necessary to save the lives of our patients," spokeswoman Jennifer Coffman wrote, adding it isn't possible to complete training only with simulations.
The protocol used by the university says the eight residents accepted each year for the three-year program need six pigs for every six-month session to complete the training. Each pig is anesthetized before training begins and then subjected to eight procedures, which include opening the chest to reach the heart and cutting an airway into the throat. Multiple residents perform procedures on the same animals, the 2015 protocol states.
But Foley said none of the training requires a pig. She said it would be more helpful for students to learn on clinical anatomy models.

What is a summary? | – The University of Missouri says it will continue to use live pigs to train emergency room doctors, despite protests. Last week, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine organized a rally outside University Hospital to advocate ending the use of swine in physician training. The demonstration came after the university's Animal Care and Use Committee voted earlier this month to continue the practice through November 2020. The protocol used by the university says the eight residents accepted each year for the three-year program need six pigs for every six-month session to complete the training. Each pig is anesthetized before training begins and then subjected to eight procedures, which include opening the chest to reach the heart and cutting an airway into the throat. The Columbia Daily Tribune reported in July the pigs either die during the course of the procedures or are killed before the last part by the residents, who perform a post-mortem technique in which fluid is drained from the sac around the animal's heart. But retired ER physician Kerry Foley said none of the training requires a pig. She said it would be more helpful for students to learn on clinical anatomy models. "You can now obtain things called perfused cadavers, which are very lifelike and true to the experience of working on real patients," Foley said as she picketed outside the hospital.

Cyril Almeida said on Twitter he had been told his name was on the "exit control list", a border control system.
The row erupted over an article saying the government bluntly warned military chiefs Pakistan faced isolation unless it acted against homegrown militancy.
The government rejected the report, calling it "a fabricated news story".
Relations between Pakistan's civilian government and the military have often been tumultuous with three coups since independence. Nawaz Sharif's government took office after Pakistan's first ever civilian transfer of power.
But the timing is sensitive because it comes just weeks after India blamed Pakistan-based militant groups for an attack that killed 18 soldiers in Indian-administered Kashmir, the deadliest assault on the army there in years. Pakistan has consistently denied any links to the attack.
India has long accused Pakistan's ISI spy agency of secretly supporting jihadi groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, saying they wage attacks against India, particularly over Kashmir - which is claimed by both countries.
The ISI is a military intelligence organisation, seen as a central organ of Pakistan's army and run and staffed by military officials.

The 6 October article by Mr Almeida, published in the English-language Dawn newspaper, quoted unnamed sources who said they were present for a meeting chaired by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the director general of the ISI spy agency, Rizwan Akhtar.
It claimed that the prime minister, Punjab's chief minister and other members of the government raised concerns about a lack of military action against certain militant groups because of their ties to the spy agency. They allegedly warned military chiefs present that Pakistan risked facing international isolation.
The prime minister's office and the Punjab chief ministers office have strongly denied the report saying there was no conflict of that nature at the meeting.
However Dawn stood by the story, saying it had repeatedly fact-checked - and accused the government of "scapegoating the country's most respected newspaper in a malicious campaign".
Mr Almeida was scheduled to travel to Dubai on holiday on Tuesday, but said on Monday evening that he had received word he would not be allowed on the plane.
"I am on the list - I have seen it and I have been told not to go to the airport," he said on Twitter.
Later he wrote: "Puzzled, saddened. Had no intention of going anywhere this is my home. Pakistan."
Differences between civilian officials and the powerful military may be rarely reported, but they are as old as Pakistan itself.
The country's first elected Prime Minister, Zulkifar Ali Bhutto, was overthrown by the military and hanged following a controversial trial in 1979. A decade later, his daughter Benazir Bhutto was dismissed from office barely 18 months after coming to power.
Since 9/11, the military has sought to control government policy either through direct rule (under former army chief Pervez Musharraf) or later, critics say, by indirectly controlling civilian rulers.
Pakistan's military is accused of using various militant groups as armed proxies against India and Afghanistan, and repeatedly undermining attempts by elected civilian governments to promote trade and normalisation in the region.
However, with behind-the-scenes expressions of unease about this policy by China, civilian leaders feel more empowered, analysts say. They also have an opportunity to be more vocal following the recent rise in tensions with India.
China is the only friend Pakistan has left in the neighbourhood, and it is preparing to sink tens of billions of dollars into an economic corridor it proposes to build through Pakistan.
With Western funding drying up, Pakistan's military is eagerly looking forward to Chinese investment, and may feel responsive towards Chinese concerns.

Alyssa Riggan hasn't dwelled on being the first person in the U.S. to successfully receive part of a liver from a living donor 25 years ago, a medical procedure that paved the way for routine live-donor transplants. The anniversary falls on Thanksgiving this year. Riggan was 21 months old when her mother, Teri Smith, donated more than a third of her liver to save her daughter from a disorder called biliary atresia. Its success has enabled her to live a normal life, almost completely untouched by what was an often-fatal disorder.

Both sides had forces that did not arrive at Sekigahara in time to participate due to other battles. Ieyasu's son Hidetada led another group through Nakasendō. However, Hidetada's forces were bogged down as he attempted to besiege Sanada Masayuki's Ueda Castle against his father's direct orders. Even though the Tokugawa forces numbered some 38,000, an overwhelming advantage over the Sanada's mere 2,000, they were still unable to capture the strategist's well-defended position. At the same time, 15,000 Toyotomi troops were being held up by 500 troops under Hosokawa Yūsai at Tanabe Castle in present-day Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture. Some among the 15,000 troops respected Hosokawa so much they intentionally slowed their pace. Due to these incidents, a large number of troops from both sides failed to show up in time for the battle. If either of these armies participated in the conflict, it could have ended quite differently.
