Research had previously shown that eating honey turns on detoxification genes that metabolize the chemicals in honey, but the researchers wanted to identify the specific components responsible for this activity. To do this, they fed bees a mixture of sucrose and powdered sugar, called bee candy, and added different chemical components in extracts of honey. They identified p-coumaric acid as the strongest inducer of the detoxification genes.

The competition between Walter Chrysler, John J. Raskob, and the team behind 40 Wall Street to see who could build the world’s tallest building pushed the status quo forward. Competition pressures us to be the best we can, to face our fears and step outside of our comfort zone allowing us to unlock our full potential. Competition has driven the human race forward since the dawn of time. Whether it was Michelangelo vs. Leonardo da Vinci who inspired millions with their art, Nikola Tesla vs. Thomas Edison who feuded over whose electricity would power the world or the United States vs. the Soviet Union’s race to see who could be the first to put a man on the moon. Without competition we are idle and stagnant, we don’t dream as big or fight as relentlessly. While the Chrysler Building and 40 Wall Street may not have held the title of world’s tallest building for as long as its builders may have hoped, they without a doubt succeeded in shaping history. Even though the Empire State Building was a financial flop for nearly its first 20 years, it is undoubtedly one of the world’s most famous buildings. We should not fear competition. We should embrace it. We should shoot for the stars – just like they did.

On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the tenuous peace between Europe’s great powers collapsed. On July 29, Austro-Hungarian forces began to shell the Serbian capital, Belgrade, and Russia, Serbia’s ally, ordered a troop mobilization against Austria-Hungary. France, allied with Russia, began to mobilize on August 1. France and Germany declared war against each other on August 3. After crossing through neutral Luxembourg, the German army invaded Belgium on the night of August 3-4, prompting Great Britain, Belgium’s ally, to declare war against Germany.

“It’s pretty self-explanatory,” Grace said of the album’s title. “I’m a person who’s going through gender transition and a lot of the record was written leading up to the decision to embrace that and to go public with that — in my private life and in my public life.”

Claire was a hallucination. Everything I thought that I knew about her is what my mind had made up to make me believe she was real (which is probably why we got along so well). It turned out that the combination of painkillers that I was on could cause small seizures in your brain that can result in vivid hallucinations. Obviously, this was not good and had to be dealt with fairly quickly, since seizures can cause permanent brain damage, but it was not as if I could just stop taking my pain medications either. Not only would that have been borderline torture given my level of chronic pain, but it can be dangerous to your health to come off of multiple, powerful narcotics too quickly (i.e. stroke, heart attack, death, etc.). At the same time though, I could not just go through life with my imaginary girlfriend either (just imagine taking her home to meet the folks). Even though I knew that I had to fix this issue or risk brain damage, the negative stigma associated with having an addiction kept me from admitting and accepting my problem. It was only after Beth gave me the ultimatum of getting help or finding a new nurse, that I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss my options.

It took a ton of hard work on my end, of course, but I really do credit my daughter with inspiring me to play at such a high level. That inspiration was one of the very first gifts that she gave me, and, since her birth, she’s provided countless more. She’s six months old now, so her teeth are coming in, and she’s rolling over on her own. When she’s on her back, she can sit up by herself. It’s all pretty cool. We play peekaboo together all the time, and she smiles at me constantly — especially when I tell her she’s cute and smart, her two favorite words. Every day with her is a gift, and I don’t take a single one of them for granted.

Orders from on high precluded indictments and operations designed to hinder Hezbollah. Ali Fayad, a Lebanese arms dealer who was indicted on charges of planning the murders of US government workers, had been captured in the Czech Republic. But, bowing to Russian pressure, the US made no effort to extradite him and Fayad was allowed to evade justice and go back into business in Lebanon.

The winners in the fan equity analysis include the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, Cardinals and Twins. The Red Sox and Yankees placing at the top of the list is simultaneously unsurprising and interesting. It is unsurprising because these are two of the league’s most prominent teams, and interesting because the two teams are bitter rivals. The intense competition between these two teams provides an added factor that may be lacking for teams like the Cubs or the Phillies. And yes, we do know that Cardinals fans love to beat the Cubs.

“He was always there, and I’d always had this draw to him,” Katerina recalled. “And he didn’t talk. I’ll sit down next to him and be like, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ and he would literally not say a word to me, and I would tell him, “I just love these deep conversations we have together.””

Mastering Wide-Angle Mastering Wide-Angle The problem with wide-angle photography is that it's... wide. That is, if you point your camera at a random subject, you'll get a lot of things inside the frame. Some of them will very likely be dark, others will be light, some will be near, some will be far. This introduces all kinds of complications, and in fact turns many of the usual rules, techniques, and even desirable lens characteristics on their heads. Lens characteristic Telephoto Normal-range Wide-angle AF speed, accuracy Critical Highly important Unimportant Bokeh Important Important Unimportant Performance wide-open Critical Important Relatively unimportant Performance stopped-down Unimportant Important Critical Flare characteristics Unimportant Important Highly important Relative importance of some lens characteristics at different focal lengths. With telephoto, depth of field is narrow, the long focal lengths make hand-holding tricky, and you're often shooting subjects that don't stand still. This means that fast and precise focusing is critical, bad bokeh has a really unpleasant effect on most pictures, and you'll be shooting your lens wide-open most of the time, to minimize camera shake. On the other hand, the narrow field of view means that you can use deep hoods to very effectively cut out glare and reduce flare. In other words, when shopping for a telephoto lens, you might want to trade off some optical quality for focusing speed and accuracy -- or pony up the extra for the snappier of two otherwise equal lenses (e.g. Canon 70-200/2.8L vs Sigma EX 70-200/2.8). With wide-angle, the situation is largely reversed. We will soon see why. What's so special about wide-angle? Wide-angle lenses see the world very differently from normal-range or telephoto lenses. The differences have to do mostly with two things: perspective and depth of field. In addition, wide scenes present special challenges for exposure. A note on terminology Before we go any further, I'd like to get a pet peeve of mine out of the way: perspective. The fact is that actually lenses have nothing to do with perspective -- it's purely a function of subject distance. That is, if you set your camera on a tripod and photograph the same subject twice at two different focal lengths, then crop the wide one to match the long one, perspective will be identical on the two pictures. However, as a photographer, you're unlikely to do this (other than as an experiment, that is): instead, you'll be thinking in terms of the subject. With the wide lens, you'll move closer to the subject, with the long one, you'll back up. This changes the relation between the subject, background, and foreground. So, in this strictly practical sense, wide-angle lenses will give you a different "perspective" than telephoto ones. When I'll be writing about "lens perspective" in this article, it'll be in this sense. If someone can come up with a better term to preserve the distinction, please let me know! Another question of terminology relates to expressing width or length of lenses. With the crop-factor DSLR's, this is problematic. I'm going to stick with the convention of using 35 mm equivalent focal lengths for the purpose, even if this risks offending the "35 mm is for tourists" club or other sticklers for accuracy -- simply because these are familiar units. If someone says "a field of view of 86 degrees" to me, it's technically accurate, but leaves me scratching my head until I do the math and realize "ah, he means a 24 mm." So, whenever speaking of focal lengths in general, they'll be the 35 mm equivalents. However, I'll list the corresponding physical focal length for the 1.6x crop factor in [brackets]. (If any Nikon, Fuji, Pentax, or Sigma users make it this far, no discourtesy is intended; I'm sure that if you'd be writing the article you'd use 1.5x or 1.7x. Besides, 1.6x is rather neatly between the two.) Finally, I'm restricting this discussion to rectilinear wide-angle lenses: that is, lenses that render straight lines as straight (or mean to, anyway). This is because including fisheyes would complicate an already complicated picture even further -- and also because it appears that in the days of Panorama Tools, most people shooting fisheyes end up de-fishing them afterwards anyway, in which case the complications are the same as for rectilinears. What's a wide-angle? There's no hard limit between a "normal" lens and a "wide-angle" one, of course. As technology develops, and wider and wider lenses become available, even the soft limits shift. However, to make things clearer, we'll draw a couple of lines in the sand anyway. We'll draw one line at 35 mm [22 mm]. Anything wider than this is wide-angle. We'll then draw another at 24 mm [15 mm]. Anything wider than that is ultra-wide. By this, I mean that from 35 mm down, you will encounter many of the complications and creative possibilities characteristic of wide-angle photography, and from 24 down, you won't be able to get decent results without being aware of them -- except maybe every once in a while by accident. It's often said that the 50 mm [32 mm] lens most closely approximates the way we humans perceive the world. While this is certainly controversial and, I think, impossible to demonstrate one way or the other, there is a certain truth to it. Within the normal range of, say, 35 to 90 mm [22 to 56 mm], scenes generally contain about as much stuff as a person can take in at any one time, without moving his head. The relationships between foreground and background objects appear "right" or "natural" (although I suspect that this is more of a learned artistic convention than anything intrinsic to how we experience the world), and objects aren't generally distorted much, except for the usual distortion you get from rendering three-dimensional objects on a flat plane -- perspective. Wide-angle scenes are bigger. They correspond to a real-life scene that you have to turn your head to take in. They can contain a large number of things at different distances. This means that wide-angle photography has immensely rich creative possibilities -- it can reveal connections and juxtapositions that aren't obvious to the onlooker; at its best, a wide-angle photograph can "pull in" the viewer in a very special way, quite unlike the feeling of "seeing through the eyes of the photographer" that you can get from a really good normal-range photo. Perspective The most obvious characteristic of a wide-angle lens is its "exaggerated" perspective. This means very simply that background objects appear to be further from foreground ones than they actually are. This exaggeration has to happen when a wide scene is projected onto a flat plane, and straight lines are rendered as straight. (Incidentally, the fisheye projection, where straight lines are allowed to bend, is no less "realistic" than a rectilinear projection -- we're just not used to it, and it jumps at us more.) However, this characteristic has some not-so-simple and sometimes counterintuitive consequences. If your camera is even slightly out of the horizontal, verticals will converge. Buildings will develop leans. Personally, I particularly like this characteristic: it gives all kinds of creative possibilities. However, there are times when you'll want to photograph a building without this perspective effect. Of course, you can correct the distortion in post-processing, but it's always best to get it right in-camera: the way to go is to place the horizon in the center, shoot, and crop out the extra foreground later. You'll end up with vertical verticals. Helsinki Cathedral, Finland. The camera's pointing up, making the verticals converge. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D) Flat objects perfectly perpendicular to the camera come out undistorted. Place a life-size cardboard cut-out of Boba Fett in the corner of your frame, take care to position yourself so that you're exactly perpendicular to Boba, and shoot. Boba will come out looking totally himself. However, if you placed a friend dressed up as Boba Fett in the opposite corner, he would come out seriously stretched. That because he's three-dimensional, while the cut-out isn't. A building photographed exactly face-on at 19 mm [12 mm]: no perspective distortion. (Sigma 12-24 with 10D.) Depth of field "Short focal lengths have lots and lots of depth of field." They sure do. However, the other side of the coin is that the attendant wide scenes tend to be very deep, so you're going to need all of it, and more, if you want to keep everything sharp (even if nothing will be really, attractively soft.) Furthermore, people look at wide-angle photos much as they look at the actual scenes -- their eyes move from one part to another. This means that areas that are slightly soft even though they should be sharp are way more annoying than with normal or tele scenes, where the out-of-focus areas are a part of the composition. On balance, it takes way more thought and effort to focus a wide-angle scene than a normal or telephoto one. More about that later. Flare Flare is particularly problematic for wide-angle photography. Because of the wide field of view, you can't use deep hoods. For the same reason, it's not unusual to get a bright light source either in the frame or just outside it. This results in flare spots and loss of contrast. In other words, a wide-angle lens that handles flare ungracefully is badly crippled in many situations -- and you as the photographer have to take flare into consideration anyway; either work it into the composition or try to minimize it while composing. For example, if you intend to crop, you might as well shade the lens with your hand, even if this puts the hand in the part of the picture you'll crop out. Phoenician seawall in Batroun, Lebanon. The sun's directly in the frame. There are some flare spots visible, but they're not badly distracting at all. Most lenses would've had a seriously hard time coping with this scene. Note the low-key detail retained in the very dark areas of the wall. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D.) What's it good for? While the "traditional" uses of wide-angle lenses are in landscape and architectural photography (and, in fact, most of the technical tips below will be best applicable to that type of work), wide-angles are by no means limited to this. In particular, WA's are excellent for interior and situational/street photography, and have their uses even in portraiture. Landscape "Fenland." A bog in Nuuksio, southern Finland. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D.) In my opinion, nothing can capture the majesty of a landscape quite as well as a really good wide-angle photograph. Landscape photography is immensely challenging and immensely demanding, both of technique and equipment: landscapes are often best appreciated as large prints, which are merciless with technique and technical deficiencies. For serious landscape photography, a tripod and cable release (or self-timer) are critical. However, good light and a creative eye for simplifying the complex are even more important: never let the lack of a tripod stop you from shooting a beautiful landscape -- if you take some care, chances are that nobody but you will ever notice the technical trade-offs you had to make. For serious landscape photography, the critical lens characteristic is performance stopped-down: in particular, evenness across the frame, and resolution. For example, the Sigma 15-30 excels at this type of work -- it's razor-sharp, and the greater-than-average barrel distortion won't matter for this application. Architecture Courtyard of the palace of Emir Amin, Beiteddin, Lebanon. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D.) An architectural photograph is a joint creation by the architect and the photographer. Wide-angle is indispensable for the purpose: nothing else can capture an architectural whole. As for landscape, stopped-down performance is critical. However, because of the "larger" detail in architecture, contrast becomes more important than resolution, and because of the abundance of straight lines, lack of distortion is highly important. (However, this has become a good deal less critical now that we have utilities like DeBarrelizer and Panorama Tools to correct this out-of-camera.) Even more than for landscapes, nothing is too wide for architecture: the Sigma 12-24 would suggest itself for this application, at least for the crop-factor cameras. Situational Wide-angle lenses have two major advantages in situational photography. One, they can encompass enough of the scene to make the picture about interactions between people or their environment, even when you as the photographer are participating in the scene. And two, by putting your subject off-center (which you would probably do anyway), your subject won't realize s/he's being photographed. Don't try to be sneaky about it, though; it's not nice and could get you into trouble. For situational photography, many of the "wide-angle specific" rules don't really apply: you'll be shooting much as you'd shoot with any lens. However, wide-open corner performance still isn't such a big deal, as in a situation like this you won't have time to tweak focus to perfection, and in a real, three-dimensional scene, the corners will almost certainly be at a different distance than your subject anyway -- that is, out of focus. Wide-angle situational photography means available-light photography, almost inevitably. You need a quite an elaborate flash set-up to give even illumination to a scene much wider than 28 mm [17 mm]. Without this, a flash will only make things worse. Therefore, for situational photography, lens brightness is very valuable. My pick for this purpose would be the Sigma EX 20/1.8. However, lens darkness isn't as much of a limitation as it may initially appear: you can effectively hand-hold short focal lengths much better than long ones, and the excellent high-ISO performance of most DSLR's can make up for a lot. Maximal technical quality isn't as critical for situationals anyway, and properly treated, noise can even add to the atmosphere. I've gotten quite nice results with my fairly slow wide-angle lenses even in very low light levels. Not that I'd mind having a faster one... Street artist in Helsinki, Finland. (Tokina 17/3.5 on Tri-X 400 pushed to 3200.) Portraits The normal recommendation for a portrait lens is something between 80 mm [50 mm] and 135 mm [85 mm] or so. This is, in fact, good advice -- if you want a classical head-and-shoulders shot, with natural-looking features, nice background blur, and so on. However, that's not the only kind of portrait, and for some of these, wide-angles come in very handy. One thing you need to take into account when shooting WA portraits is distortion. If you shoot it like you would with an 80 mm [50 mm], you'll get a Dr. Evil-like forehead and Pinocchio-like nose. This can actually be quite effective for a humorous portrait, assuming your subject has a sense of humor, but may not be quite what you're looking for. The trick is to step back and treat your subject as an element in the scene. This can make for unusual, original, and extremely evocative portraits: a picture of a craftsman in his shop, with a good deal of the shop left in, can convey far more of his character than just a picture of the craftsman. Use your imagination and make use of context, and you'll get very memorable pictures. And if you do step back, the distortion will mostly go away. Farmhand in the Camargue, France. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D.) Technique With normal-range or tele photography, exposure and focus is pretty straightforward: basically, you point your camera at the subject, meter and focus on it, then recompose and shoot. If you have to deal with backlight, an unusually light-colored or dark subject, bright subject on dark background or vice versa, multiple subjects etc. it's pretty easy to know what to do -- dial in exposure compensation, expose for the subject and allow the background to blow out, pick which subject to focus on and allow the secondary one to go out of focus, recompose slightly to leave a hot spot out of the frame, and so on. In fact, creative use of background or foreground blur is one of the most fun things to do in this range. With wide-angle, things get considerably trickier, both technically and composition-wise. Because the scene is so "big," you're going to have to juggle a large number of variables -- there's going to be a lot more going on in it than you'll notice while shooting. Technically, the two main concerns are exposure and focus. Exposure and post-processing The problem (especially with digital) is that because there's so much in your scene, the dynamic range will often exceed the DR of your capture medium. Of course, ideally you should look for scenes where this isn't the case, yet the light has a nice quality to it -- the "magic hour" rules. Drystone shelter in the Luberon, France. (Tokina 17/3.5 with 10D.) Unfortunately, having to sacrifice some of the dynamic range, especially in the highlights, usually makes for pretty boring pictures. I don't think I have any real keepers among my WA pictures where this is the case... except maybe a few "people pictures". There are a number of ways to approach the problem. Look for scenes with low dynamic range. "Magic hour light" and other "interesting weather light" is best, of course, but wide-angle works surprisingly well for "boring light" -- for example overcast, noonday or front-lit sunlight: the inherent richness of the scene can greatly make up for the lack of interest in the lighting. Wide-angle is great for winter photography: snow cancels out (sometimes reverses) the usual brightness difference between sky and ground. Senate Square, Helsinki. (Tokina 17/3.5 on Provia 100.) Expose for maximal dynamic range, then correct in post-processing. Use as low ISO as you can, if shooting in JPG, use the low-contrast setting, shoot in RAW if you're up to it, and expose just below the point where you lose the highlights. Then restore tonal balance in post-processing. If you shot at ISO100 or ISO200, there are at least two or three stops of room to pull up the tones without boosting noise badly enough for it to be distracting in even quite large prints or introducing other major gremlins. If you shot in RAW, you'll have a few aces up your sleeve in post-processing: more about that below.

In September, just a few weeks before the beginning of FY 2017, President Obama announced that he intended to set the ceiling for the number of refugees who could be resettled at 110,000–a 29 percent increase from the previous year. Under the Refugee Act of 1980, the President announces an intended ceiling, but the number of refugees actually resettled is determined by Congress when it finalizes the budget for the year. More than halfway through FY 2017, Congress has only funded a total of 48,000 refugees for resettlement under the Continuing Resolution that expires on April 28.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside and explore the world around him. One day, he was walking in the park when he saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. He was amazed by all the colors and wanted to touch it. Suddenly, it started to rain and Timmy got wet. He saw a lady sitting on a bench and asked her for help. "Can you heal me, please?" he asked. The lady smiled and gave him a big hug. "You will feel better soon," she said. Timmy waited for the rain to stop and looked up at the sky again. The rainbow was still there, shining bright and colorful. "That's amazing," he said. "I love rainbows!" The lady smiled and said, "Me too. They always make me feel happy." Timmy smiled back and ran off to play, feeling much better thanks to the lady's healing hug.

The British government is currently going further by “suspending” the rights of any citizen to return to the country if they are “reasonably suspected,” on the say-so of intelligence agencies, of “involvement in terrorist activity.” Similar citizenship or passport measures have been introduced in Canada and New Zealand.

Clarke went on to ask whether "no" meant the "Norwegian option" or the "Swiss model", or whether eurosceptics wish to go into the wide blue yonder and leave the trade area altogether. Needless to say, he did not refer to Flexcit, but then neither do many of the eurosceptic "aristocracy". They, as we have

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily loved to play outside in the sunshine. One day, Lily went for a walk in the forest. She saw a big tree that was very dry. Lily said, "Oh no! Poor tree, you look so thirsty. I think you need a hug." So, Lily hugged the tree tightly. Suddenly, the tree began to grow leaves and flowers. A little bird saw what happened and said, "Wow, Lily! You are so kind. You showed love to the tree and now it is happy again." Lily smiled and said, "I learned that hugs can make things better. Everyone needs love and kindness." From that day on, Lily hugged everyone she met, and she made the world a happier place.

That phrase, “good guys,” has a double meaning. It could be taken as “those who do not want innocent people to die.” At the same time, it can mean “people who fight for civil liberties and the Constitution.”

Art was a passion from the start and although Burningham went to other lessons, only French and literature stick in his mind. "People outside thought we'd find it hard to earn a living, but among my peers are professionals and academics, as well as batty artists like me."

Scores of U.S. lawmakers are converging on tiny Selma, Alabama, for a large commemoration of a civil rights anniversary. But their ranks don’t include a single member of House Republican leadership – a point that isn’t lost on congressional black leaders. None of the top leaders – House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy or Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was once thought likely to attend to atone for reports that he once spoke before a white supremacist group – will be in Selma for the three-day event that commemorates the 1965 march and the violence that protesters faced at the hands of white police officers.

In addition – British SAS have been caught training insurgents in Iraq to carry out hi-tech bombings that are later blamed on Iran.

Temple Grandin sees her autism as a gift, not a disability. The professor at Colorado State University, who has become a prominent animal rights activist, spoke at TED about how people's brains work in different ways -- and how that's something that should be appreciated, not stigmatized. Grandin, for instance, thinks in pictures, "like Google for images," she said.

“Hi all – I work for Andrew Leigh MP, the Shadow Assistant Treasurer who is responsible for Labor’s tax policy leading up to the next election. I’d be interested in hearing your views on what a future Labor govt could do to support startups in Australia. If you’d prefer to email them, [email protected].”

Increased production for the quarter was primarily driven by completion of planned maintenance at the company’s International , Aikhal , and Mir mines, which are ALROSA’s 4th, 7th, and 10th largest mines by volume, respectively. Grade also played a factor as the company realized a company-wide average carat-per-tonne (cpt) grade of 1.45 compared to 0.75 cpt in Q3.

Moff ironically initially managed to find the perfect balance for the series. Enough sci fi, enough romance between the companions, not the Doctor who was a completely asexual, professorial, crazy old uncle character in Matt Smith’s first series (which is why he is my favourite New Who Doctor in that series.)

They also follow a nice flow of “simple defense” to “simple attack” to “complex attack/defense” to… well, we’ll get to that fourth one in a minute.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and jump on her bed. One day, her aunt came to visit her. Lily was so happy to see her aunt because she always brought her candy. Lily's aunt looked around her room and said, "Your room is so tidy, Lily! Did you clean it all by yourself?" Lily shook her head and said, "No, Mommy helped me." Her aunt smiled and said, "Well, it looks great! Do you want to come with me to the park and play?" Lily nodded her head excitedly and said, "Yes, please! Can I bring my teddy bear?" "Of course, you can!" her aunt replied. So, they went to the park and played on the swings and slide. Lily had so much fun with her aunt and couldn't wait for her to visit again.

"I never said anything because I knew Lee adored her and I thought her fantasies were harmless."

Place the Graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Add the butter and process until well combined and has a moist sand texture. Press Graham mixture evenly and firmly into the prepared pan using the bottom of a glass. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Going into this, not only did I look at Fiverr as a curse rather than a blessing, but I looked down on Fiverr voice talent, thinking to myself, “Why in the world would anyone work for five dollars (four dollars after you factor in commission)? Are these people that amateurish that they would be willing to work for pennies? Don’t they realize that they are devaluing the voiceover industry, and making things harder for all of us (themselves included)?”

Billot added that the latest developments of the investigation that involved the Aviation Club the France and the Cercle Cadet forced the management to cancel the upcoming FPS as "it was impossible to find, in such a short time, another trusted partner that would allow us to organize the FPS in Paris and in optimal conditions."

“Ok sure, but if I asked about it I would ask a doctor. Or whenever I have a colleague who knows about that stuff […] I have the internet and I read medical journals, of course.”

The draw for the Third Round of the 2015 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup was unvealed by the US Soccer Federation on Thursday, the day after the tournament’s First Round came to a close.

Calling the sadness you feel because your are fighting or calling your entirely understandable boredom at a “mental disorder” is not just naming. The causes of your “disorder” are being ascribed without anyone saying anything overt. The DSM tells a secret, silent, never-explained story as it gets from “a restless child who gets up six times at school but never gets up when he visits his grandmother who lets him play video games” to “ deficit disorder.” How did it get there? Just by using language in a way that too many people find plausible and seductive.

Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many roots. The roots are like long arms that hold the tree up. "Look, Sara, the tree is so strong!" Tom says. "It can support many birds and squirrels and leaves." "Yes, Tom, the tree is strong, but it also needs water and sun and soil," Sara says. "The roots help the tree get water and soil. They are like its mouth and feet." Sara and Tom touch the roots and feel how hard and rough they are. They wonder what the tree would say if it could talk. "Hello, tree, can we be your friends?" Sara asks. The tree does not answer, but it makes a mild sound, like a sigh. Sara and Tom think the tree is happy to see them. They decide to make a gift for the tree. They find some flowers and stones and make a necklace. They wrap it around one of the roots. "Here, tree, this is for you," Tom says. "We hope you like it." The tree makes another mild sound, like a thank you. Sara and Tom smile and hug the root. They feel the tree hug them back.

Vashovsky bought the fifth-floor walkup at 21 East 115th St. in May 2014 and almost immediately launched a campaign of harassment against the tenants, authorities said.

If the company doesn't reach its goal, the phones will not be produced and customers will get their money back, according to Omer.

La syndique a raconté comment M. Perreault a utilisé tous les moyens imaginables pour entraver son travail : il a menti, fabriqué de faux documents, falsifié des signatures, utilisé des prête-noms, caché du matériel, refusé de passer un test de dépistage de drogue. Son recours aux faux documents n'est d'ailleurs pas nouveau, selon Mme Chartrand : elle dit avoir découvert récemment que M. Perreault avait falsifié sa fiche d'inscription à un stage et produit un faux rapport de maître de stage, afin d'obtenir son permis de pratique en 2005.
