[M]A trade unionist in the powerful Teamsters organization, Sheeran[/M] has long been suspected of having close ties to the Italian-American Mafia and of serving as a henchman.
"I Heard You Paint Houses: The Case of Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa" (English: I Heard You Paint Houses: Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa), and The translation "I heard you cleaned the house" is a 2004 memoir written by former homicide prosecutor, investigator, and defense lawyer Charles Blunt. The book chronicles the life of Frank Sheeran, an accused Mafia killer who admitted that he had worked for the Bufalino criminal family. The title of the book is based on Sheeran. His first conversation with Hoffa was by phone. Hoffa first said: "I heard you paint the house"-this is the meaning of the gang sign: I heard You killed someone, "lacquer" refers to the blood splashed when you fire a bullet at your body. Sheeran’s so-called confession of killing Jimmy Hoffa and Joe Gallo has been published by Bill Tonelli in the article "The Lies of the Irishman" written on "Slate" and Harvard Law College professor Jack Goldsmith published in the "New York Review of Books" "Jimmy Hoffa and'The Irishman': A True Crime Story?" questioned. The book’s publisher, Bill Tonelli, gave a detailed answer to that article, which was also published in Slate.

A few minutes after liftoff, the rocket experienced a serious anomaly; [M]the astronauts' Soyuz crew spacecraft safely made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan[/M].
Current International Space Station Cmdr. Alexander Gerst expected to be welcoming two additional crewmembers to the orbiting laboratory Thursday (Oct. 11) — but instead, he found himself photographing their failed launch. NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin launched aboard a Soyuz rocket at about 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. But just a couple of minutes after liftoff, a failure in the rocket's booster triggered a ballistic re-entry for the pair of would-be space travelers. Investigations into the Soyuz launch failure will be performed by NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos. [In Photos: The Harrowing Soyuz Launch Abort in Pictures] European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst captured this incredible view of a failed crew launch to the International Space Station on Oct. 11, 2018. (Image credit: A. Gerst/ESA/NASA) The astronauts landed safely and were picked up by a search-and-rescue team that was deployed as part of standard launch procedure. Although the dramatic launch barely made it to space before the capsule tumbled back to Earth, it was certainly visible from space. Gerst was able to spot the rocket's climb from on board its hoped-for destination, capturing a majestic streak of white piercing Earth's atmosphere.

NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin launched aboard a Soyuz rocket at about 4:47 a.m. EDT (0847 GMT) from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. But just a couple of minutes after liftoff, a failure in the rocket's booster triggered a ballistic re-entry for the pair of would-be space travelers. Investigations into the Soyuz launch failure will be performed by NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

Although the dramatic launch barely made it to space before the capsule tumbled back to Earth, it was certainly visible from space. Gerst was able to spot the rocket's climb from on board its hoped-for destination, capturing a majestic streak of white piercing Earth's atmosphere.

Six decades into the space age, exploring the final frontier remains a difficult and dangerous proposition. That basic truth was reinforced yesterday (Oct. 11) by the failure of a Russian Soyuz rocket during a crew launch toward the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket experienced a serious anomaly a few minutes after liftoff, and the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. Hague and Ovchinin are safe and in good condition, NASA officials said.

A few minutes after liftoff, the rocket experienced a serious anomaly; the astronauts' Soyuz crew spacecraft safely made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. (Image credit: Bill Ingalls/NASA) There will be an investigation into the incident, to figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again. And because this is spaceflight, the list of potential problems is pretty long. "We get lulled into a form of complacency when these things go off seemingly without a hitch on a regular basis," said John Logsdon, a professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs in Washington, D.C. "But that's a result of extreme care, and that hasn't changed," Logsdon told Space.com. "This is not routine, and it requires diligence and focus throughout the process — manufacturing and launch readiness, launch preparation, and the actual conduct of the launch," Logsdon told Space.com.

Six decades into the space age, exploring the final frontier remains a difficult and dangerous proposition. That basic truth was reinforced yesterday (Oct. 11) by the failure of a Russian Soyuz rocket during a crew launch toward the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket experienced a serious anomaly a few minutes after liftoff, and the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. Hague and Ovchinin are safe and in good condition, NASA officials said.

A few minutes after liftoff, the rocket experienced a serious anomaly; the astronauts' Soyuz crew spacecraft safely made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. (Image credit: Bill Ingalls/NASA) There will be an investigation into the incident, to figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again. And because this is spaceflight, the list of potential problems is pretty long. "We get lulled into a form of complacency when these things go off seemingly without a hitch on a regular basis," said John Logsdon, a professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs in Washington, D.C. "But that's a result of extreme care, and that hasn't changed," Logsdon told Space.com. "This is not routine, and it requires diligence and focus throughout the process — manufacturing and launch readiness, launch preparation, and the actual conduct of the launch," Logsdon told Space.com.

A few minutes after liftoff, the rocket experienced a serious anomaly; the astronauts' Soyuz crew spacecraft safely made an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. (Image credit: Bill Ingalls/NASA) There will be an investigation into the incident, to figure out what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again. And because this is spaceflight, the list of potential problems is pretty long. "We get lulled into a form of complacency when these things go off seemingly without a hitch on a regular basis," said John Logsdon, a professor emeritus of political science and international affairs at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs in Washington, D.C. "But that's a result of extreme care, and that hasn't changed," Logsdon told Space.com. "This is not routine, and it requires diligence and focus throughout the process — manufacturing and launch readiness, launch preparation, and the actual conduct of the launch," Logsdon told Space.com.

Leotards in shades of putty and slate were layered beneath billowy slips and silk dresses; tutu-esque, tulle midi skirts came under her now-signature structured jackets and utilitarian blazers; [M]netting[/M], part of a ballerina's daily training uniform, was abundant, either worn on its own and letting a triangle bralette peek through, or [M]as part of a more classic silhouette.[/M]
“Dance is at this collection’s heart,” Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri wrote of the French brand’s spring and summer 2019 runway collection in the show notes. “Dance as a liberating act, as an action of the body, a dimension that uses rhythm, movement and music to connect us with the deepest part of our being.” And, truth be told, if one looked long enough at the lithe-limbed, leotard-clad dancers who bent, bounced and bounded about in a shower of rose petals in the background of the runway show set at the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, it would have been hard not to feel moved, stirred or connected to something deep, something primal and something tribal. The actual clothes on the runway, though? Not so much. A ballet of black and beige with washed-out shades of blue and gray and a couple of unicorn-rare pops of bright accent color, the collection was heavy on the après-danse look — easy, breezy comfortable pieces wrapped and draped across the body, mesh layered over bodysuits, and the kind of simple tank tops, airy skirts and heavy coats a professional dancer might throw on before dashing from a stage door to a waiting car.

(Francois Guillot / AFP / Getty Images) The backstage bunhead vibe was heightened by the collection’s standout shoe silhouette: a ballet-slipper-like shoe with a transparent Plexiglass heel and ribbon braiding that crisscrossed up the ankle. The collection also included a range of sharp and smartly belted blazers that have been a runway staple the last several seasons — some in navy blue and others in beige — as well as an assortment of tulle dresses with faded floral embroidery and a handful of dashiki-like tops sporting the collection’s few pops of bright color, including yellow and purple. A washed-out kaleidoscopic motif meets tie-dye pattern was, almost by default, the most eye-catching pattern in the mix, turning up on baggy denim cargo pants and trousers, tulle skirts and kimono-like robes and a few pieces that melded it with out-size florals, resulting in a trippy, ’70s-infused festival look that is all but guaranteed to turn up in the VIP wristband section at Coachella.

The collection also included a range of sharp and smartly belted blazers that have been a runway staple the last several seasons — some in navy blue and others in beige — as well as an assortment of tulle dresses with faded floral embroidery and a handful of dashiki-like tops sporting the collection’s few pops of bright color, including yellow and purple. A washed-out kaleidoscopic motif meets tie-dye pattern was, almost by default, the most eye-catching pattern in the mix, turning up on baggy denim cargo pants and trousers, tulle skirts and kimono-like robes and a few pieces that melded it with out-size florals, resulting in a trippy, ’70s-infused festival look that is all but guaranteed to turn up in the VIP wristband section at Coachella.

Where [M]Dior's Fall 2018 collection[/M] was [M]stocked with Bohemian patchwork[/M], Chiuri's seasonal fabrication this time appeared to be the very on-trend tie-dye.
“Dance is at this collection’s heart,” Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri wrote of the French brand’s spring and summer 2019 runway collection in the show notes. “Dance as a liberating act, as an action of the body, a dimension that uses rhythm, movement and music to connect us with the deepest part of our being.” And, truth be told, if one looked long enough at the lithe-limbed, leotard-clad dancers who bent, bounced and bounded about in a shower of rose petals in the background of the runway show set at the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, it would have been hard not to feel moved, stirred or connected to something deep, something primal and something tribal. The actual clothes on the runway, though? Not so much. A ballet of black and beige with washed-out shades of blue and gray and a couple of unicorn-rare pops of bright accent color, the collection was heavy on the après-danse look — easy, breezy comfortable pieces wrapped and draped across the body, mesh layered over bodysuits, and the kind of simple tank tops, airy skirts and heavy coats a professional dancer might throw on before dashing from a stage door to a waiting car.
