The award number is 2012-38422-19825 for the amount of $295,000. The project proposed by the California State University, Bakersfield School of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering (NSME) will addresses all NIFA Priorities and HSI Program Goals through development of a new agricultural sciences concentration, the first step towards developing a comprehensive agriculture degree at CSUB. At least five new interdisciplinary courses will be developed and related sciences courses will be redesigned to integrate hands-on, problem-based learning with an emphasis on regional agriculture needs and academy-industry connections. As an exemplary HSI with a demonstrated commitment to increasing STEM participation, CSUB will provide local Hispanic and other underrepresented students the opportunity to earn a high quality degree that will also prepare graduates to be successful agriculture professionals. An interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on hands-on and experiential learning is necessary as agriculture is becoming increasingly complex, technical and science oriented. At least 20 students will enroll in the first cohort; four of them will be supported through scholarships and stipends. Current STEM outreach activities will be leveraged to inform service area Hispanic communities of the educational opportunities and rewarding careers in agriculture. Outreach efforts will reach more than 35,000 high school and more than 2000 community college students.
Expected Impact:
- New curriculum which better prepares STEM students for agriculture-related careers in the region and is a successful best practice model of accessible modern STEAM education.
- CSUB will be able to offer an agriculture-related degree, with enough students well qualified faculty to grow an outstanding modern agricultural education program.
- The region will begin to solve problems that threaten local agriculture and the local economy and quality of life. Many more Hispanics in the region will be able to complete college degrees and have meaningful local careers. The region will continue to be a major global food supplier.
- One full-supported scholarship student and 3 other students will be supported through stipends and will be engaged early in undergraduate research projects or placed in internship positions in local agricultural industries and/or USDA agencies.
- It is expected that 20 students (15 freshmen and 5 transfers) will be identified and enrolled to establish the first cohort of the new Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering emphasis.
- Outreach efforts will reach 19 local high schools (35,000 students) and 3 local community colleges (2,000 students) to conduct orientation events and establish the parameters for a seamless transition of interested students to the new CSUB Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering concentration.

Fantastic ACG. I'd love to see a few more founders/famous practitioners of the Japanese arts.. maybe Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu (founder of Iaido) or Miyamoto Musashi (everybody knows who he is, right?). Either way, this will certainly be a calendar I'm looking out for.
Cheers Damien – have you seen my other 'founders' ? I have them in my gallery here. But, Musashi, Sun Tzu, Bodhidharma are on my list… always keen to investigate suggestions from people

Gypsy preparation in full swing
One full day.
That's all the time Ravinia Master Carpenter Mike Robinson and his stage technicians have to transform Ravinia's pavilion stage from a relatively empty symphony-friendly space into a glitzy 1930's vaudeville theater.
The pavilion stage is in use daily for either shows or rehearsals, and so time to actually erect the set is limited. The crew is doing as much as possible ahead of time. They have been building the set for a month and the electric system has already been hung. Monday is the only full day the crew has the stage entirely to themselves, and according to Robinson it will be a 14-hour work day.
"This is the most complicated scenery we have ever done," Robinson says. "It is also the best." And that's saying something because Robinson has plenty of shows to his credit. If Tony-winner Patti LuPone and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were not enough to entice to come to Gypsy, you should consider coming just to see the miracle our stage technicians will perform in one day. But to quote Mama Rose, "That's show business..."
Catch Gypsy on Friday, August 11, Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13. All three shows start at 7:30 p.m., and the August 11 show will be preceded by a talk with Stephen Sondheim and Welz Kauffman at 6:45 in the Martin Theatre.

Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood, California between 1940 and 1957, when the animation unit was closed down. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Awards for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) seven times, tying it with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies as the most-awarded theatrical animated series. In 1960, MGM had new Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by Rembrandt Films, led by Gene Deitch in Eastern Europe. Production of Tom and Jerry shorts returned to Hollywood with Chuck Jones' Sib-Tower 12 Productions in 1963; this series lasted until 1967. Tom and Jerry later resurfaced in TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and Filmation Studios during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

"My husband used to migrate to faraway places in search of work before we got this land. Now, he works along with me in this land. Land has given strength to my family."
Landesa estimates that we were able to surpass our goal of training 30 paralegals for the project, training well over 200 paralegals in just the first six months.
Estimated girls & women affected
With each paralegal able to reach approximately 1,000 families annually, this funding has helped to increase the potential annual reach of the Barefoot Lawyers project by an estimated 200,000 families.
Estimated community members affected
Over the past year Landesa has worked to train paralegals to identify and provide support for poor rural Indian women who stand to benefit from secure rights to land. The paralegals have worked with the women and their families, helping them submit the necessary paperwork to receive a title to their land. With secure rights, these women are making investments in their land and are able to access government services, helping to lift their families out of poverty.
The beginning of the year brought unprecedented challenges and opportunities when the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, formally split into two states. With the creation of a new state, Telangana, the work of our paralegals became more important than ever. Having worked with rural families for the months leading up to the creation of a new state, the paralegals were uniquely positioned to advocate on behalf of the rural poor while a new government was formed. After conducting over 1,000 interviews with poor rural families, Landesa drafted the "Peoples Land Manifesto," later adopted by local political parties who pledged to protect land rights for the rural poor.
Thanks to the support of our donors, Landesa has been able to work directly with rural women and their families, while also advocating on their behalf at the highest levels of government during the creation of a new state. Our work continues, and we are now positioned to have a big impact and create sustainable change.
Get personal
"I heard people's strong aspiration for the Telangana state, their dream of 'Golden Telangana' and their hopes of a bright future….I'm wishing for a state where there are no landless poor and all have secure rights to land." - Sunil Kumar, Andhra Pradesh State Director
"My husband used to migrate to faraway places in search of work before we got this land. Now, he works along with me in this land. Land has given strength to my family." - Dharmarapu Pulamma
Risks and challenges
The creation of the new Indian state created some unique challenges for our project. Because our paralegals work to secure families' rights to their land through the government, any changes to the governing system requires us to change our approach. We need to refocus our efforts and adjust our model to work under a new government and new set of laws. While the creation of a new state may create new challenges, it also creates an opportunity to create broad sustainable change. By using our resources to advocate for the rural poor as the new government is built, we have the opportunity to help create land laws that are better tailored to protect the land rights of women and their families.
What we've learned
Reflecting on the past year, Landesa has learned to expected the unexpected. By responding quickly to the changing political landscapes that accompanied the creation of a new Indian state, our staff was able to work with government officials and ensure that the land rights of the rural poor were considered throughout this change.
Next steps
Landesa is thrilled that we are able to continue this project. By engaging at both levels, we are positioned to make broad, sustainable change that will impact women, their families, and entire communities for generations to come.
Landesa was able to stay on budget with the funding from our Catapult supporters! Even with the challenges that arose with the creation of a new Indian State, the funding from Catapult ensured that we were able to continue our work of advocating for the rural poor.

This project is in Andhra Pradesh, India where a recent cyclone has devastated the region. Our colleagues are focusing on helping the families impacted by the disaster.
Thank you again for your support and generous donations. This project is still active and doing well. We will report back to you as soon as we can.
Help 30,000 women obtain legal title to their land and as a result control over the income from their farms, increase access to government services, and improved status in their communities.
Why we care: Millions of people living in poverty in rural India—mostly women and children—depend on land to survive yet do not have legal rights to the land they rely on.
How we're solving this: Training paralegals to identify about 30,000 families who do not have title to their family land. The paralegals will help the women submit the necessary paperwork, and assist in processing claims. This is a highly leveraged program, amounting to about $3 per family.
Land is a fundamental asset and a primary source of income, security, opportunity, and status in rural India. Without land rights, women in particular remain marginalized and have lower status. With a legal land title, they are eligible for government services, have much greater access to credit, and can invest in their land to provide for their families without the risk of being thrown off the land they depend on.
Landesa will train and equip 30 paralegals who will work with village groups to identify families who do not have title to their land, or disputes over their land. These paralegals will receive training on basic land titling procedures and help poor rural women and their families effectively interface with the government bureaucracy to obtain a land title or resolve disputes over their land. Each paralegal could reach about 1,000 families annually. So with 30 paralegals we can help 30,000 families gain stability and security. Landesa is also working with local government officials to integrate the paralegals into their programs and services to reduce rural poverty on a wider scale.
An estimated 5 – 10 million rural poor families lack land titles in rural Andhra Pradesh. Landesa has been working on different paralegal and land issues in India since 1999, and has been working in Andhra Pradesh since 2004 on various aspects of paralegal activities.

sections create no new rights, nor do they prescribe any new remedy. The first two sections simply codify the law of nuisance as immemorially adjudged by the courts and stated in text-books. The remedy by injunction or abatement was known and practiced by the courts of this state long before the Code of 1852 was enacted. It simply recognizes the jurisdiction of courts of equity to enjoin a nuisance, or, after a judh'lllent at law, to order it to be abated. While aU legal and equitable rights were by the Code required to be enforced by a "civil action," and while such action, whatever itB nature, was triable by jury as an action at law, such practice never obtained in this court, and since 1881 it has not obtained in the courts of this state. Rev. St Ind. 1881, § 409. Since the enactment of the last-cited statute, issues of law and of fact in suits of equitable cognizance have been triable by the court without the aid of a jury. The question whether a suit shall be tried by the court sitting as a chancellor is now to be determined, both in the courts of the state and in this court, by the inquiry, has the plaintiff a plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law for the redress of the grievance£! alleged in his complaint? Suits in equity can only be brought when the court can give more complete and effectual relief in kind or degree on the equity side than on the common-law side. Where the right of a riparian proprietor to the use and enjoyment of the flow of a stream of pure and wholesome water, free from corruption and pollution, has been actually invaded, and such invasion is necessarily to be continuing, and to operate prospectively and indefinitely, and the extent of the injUriOUR consequences is contingent and of doubtful pecuniary estimation, the writ of injunction is not only permissible, but it affords the only adequate and complete remedy. High, Inj., supra; Lyon v. McLaughlin, 32 Vt. 423; Merrifield v. Lombard, 13 Allen, 16. The bill shows a clear invasion of the plaintiff's rights, and that the invasion is necessarily to be continuing, and to operate prospectively and indefinitely, and that the extent of the injurious consequences is conting-ent, and impossible of accurate pecuniary estimation. An action at law would afford no plain, adequate, and complete remedy for the injuries complained of. The demurrer must be overruled, and it is so ordered.

AppeaJ .from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Arkansas. In Equity. Suit by M;ary Smith, Richard A. SD1ith, and others against Isaac M. Worthington, in his own right, and as administrator of the estate of Elisha Worthington,deceased; Abner Gaines, administra-ror, substituted for W. W. Rose, deceased; William Starling; and William.- W. Ford.-for fraudulent and improper administration of deceased's estate. The bill was dismissed below, and complainants appeaJ. Affirmed. Statement by SHIRAS, District Judge:
It'rom the record in this it appears that Elisha Wortllington, for a number of years prior to November, 1873, resided in Chicot county, Ark., being the owner of three plantations in thatoounty. He died intestate, and on the 25th of November, 1873, letters of administration were duly issued to Edward 'r. Worthington and Isaac M. Worthlngtonby the probate cour.t of the county, the giving bond for the faithful performance of their duty, in the sum of $30,000, with W. W. Rose and Willism StarUng as Sureties thereon. The propertyofthe estate paSSing into their hands consisted of the three plantations abov/il niuued; certain mules, wagons, and other farming implements; moneys due;' aild other 1lke personal property. AbQut the titn,e the letters of administration w'ere granted a meeting of the heirs interested, who were quite
numerous, was held, at whIch. about four fifths of the interests were repreBented, and at which meeting It was agreed that Edward T. Worthington was to take the active control over the property, and that the administrators, in addition to the statutory commissions, were to be paid an extra salary in such sum as might be fixed by the probate court. In pursuance of this arrangement Edward T. Worthington had the Immediate charge of the property until April 1, 1875, when, by arrangement between the coadministrators, the active management Wll.\J assumed by Isaac M. Worthintgon. At the meeting in November, 1873, the general policy to be followed in handling the property was discussed, and seems to have been settled upon; the plan being to rent out small parts. to tenants for a cash rent. On the 13th of Dooember, 1873, there was filed in the probate court of Chicot county. the report of the appraisers appointed to value the personalty belonging to the estate, which r,eport Wll.\J approved; the value of the personalty being fixed at $2,160.75. On the same day was presented a petition of the administrators, asking authority to rent out Red Leaf plantation for the year 1874 in parcels to tenants, the administrators to retain the general management and control of the property; and an order was granted, authorizing the adminilltrators to rent all the realty belonging to the estate, the same to remain under the general management of the administrators, to which end one of the administrators was to remain upon the premises. On the same day an order was granted, directing the sale at auction of the personalty on January 5. 1874, with leave, however, to sell before that day, at private sale, to any tenant upon the property, holding for the year 1874, any mule belonging to the estate, for a sum not less than the appraised value, to be secured by a lien on the mule, or on the crop raised by the tenant. From time to time further orders were made by the probate court, for the renting of the lands; for the sale of notes and accounts due the estate; for the employment of counsel in defending suits against the estate; and other like matters. In each year the administrators filed a report of their doings, including an aecount of receipts and expenditures, to which in some instances exceptions were filed on behalf of some of the heirs. These accounts were finally adjusted, and ordllrs entered approving the same as corrected. At the October term, 1880, of the probate court a petition was filed by the administrators showing that there was then due trom the estate, including the expenses of administration, the sum of about $17,000. and that there was in the hands of the administrators, to meet the same, the sum of $12,500, including the rents of 1880, which were not then dUf> and that to pay the debts due a sale of the realty was necessary. Upon tills showing the court ordered that the three plantations, or so much as might be necessary, should be sold at pUblic auction on January 10, 1881. The sale was had, and reported to the court; it appearing that the lands were appraised at $21,038, and had been sold to W. W. }j'ord for the sum of $25,815, which sale was thereupon confirmed by the court. By the terms of sale one third was paid in cash, and the remainder in one and two years. On the 14th of January, 1884, the eighth annual account of the administrator was filed,showing all debts paid, and that there was left for distribution among the heirs the sum of $10,342.60. 'l'his account was approved, and distribution ordered of the balance in the hands of the administrator. For some reason, not made clear upon the record. the distribution of this sum among the heirs was not finally completed until in 1888; and at the October term, 1888, of the probate court, the follOWing order was made: "On this day was presented the receipts of Mrs. Sallie W. Dugan and of William Kinchloe, whose shares, of $258.67 each, remaining in the hands of the administrator at the time of the approval of the final account current of said administrator, approved at the July term, 1885, of this court, by the saId administrator, with the prayer that he be discharged as such administrator as to these items, as he had been as to all remaining portions of said estate at said July term, 1885; and the court being well and sufficiently advised in the premises, and being of the opinion that said administrator should be discharged as to these Items, it is ordered, adjudged, and decrero. that the said administrator be, and he is hereby, fully discharged as to the said two items of $258.57 each, as. well as to all other mattem collllected with said estate."
vol. 53.
the 14thotDooember, 1885, bill in cause was thEl United States circuit court for the eastern district of .Arkansas by Mary ..Sl)l1th and Richard A. Smith, bel' husband, on their own behalf and that of sucb othl:lr heirs of Elisha. Worthington as might join in the pl'oceedings,-the defendanta being Isaac M. Worthington; W. W. :Rose, William Starling, (these two being sureties on the bond of the administrators;) and W. W. Ford. The bill recites at length the acts of the administrators, and the making their annual reports to the probate court, and charges that these are false and fraudulent, because they contained charges for extra services in managing the property, improper commissions for traveling expenses,. and that the annual accounts contain items not properly allowable. It is further charged that there was no authority for the renting the plantations from year to year, as was done, that, when the order for the final sale of the realty was made, it was llIlD.ece8$8.l'Y, and therefore void, and that IS'aac M. Worthington was inter. ested in, and became a beneficiary of, the sale of the realty to W. W. Ford. By all. amendment to the bill the pOrtion thereof praying that the sale of the lands to, Ford should be set aside for fraud was stricken out. A number of the other hei1'$ of Elisha Worthington, by leave of court, were admitted as cocomplainants. The defendants.answered .the bill, and the case, upon the pleadings ,and proofs, was submitted to the court; and a decree for defendants was ordered, 'disD;llssing the bill for want of equity.
U. M., .lWse and G. B. Rose, for appellants. D. H. Reynolds, for appellees. Before SANBORN, Circuit Judge, and SHIRAS, District Judge. SHIRAS, District Judge, (after stating the facts.) Counsel for the appellants, in the brief and argument submitted by them, have very fully discussed the several provisions of the statutes of Arkansas regulating the method of administering the estates of decedents, and have pointed out the various proceedings had in the course of the administration of this estate, which, it is claimed, were without warrant of law. These may be grouped under five general heads, as follows: First, there was no authority in law for the orders made touching the renting from year to year the realty belonging to the estate, nor for incurring expense in repairing the fences and cabins upon the plantations, nor fot' any of the expense created thereby; second, the allowances made from year to year for the traveling ex· penl'les, commissions, and extra compensation to the administrators were and fraudulent; third, there was no authority in law for the order providing for the sale of the realty; fourth, there were omissions in the annual accounts of the administrators of property or money with which they should have charged themselves; fifth, the settlement of the estate, instead of being closed up within the statutory period, was prolonged for years, to the detriment of the heil's, and to the benefit of the administrators. To obtain relief in a court of chancery in cases of this kind, it is not sufficient for the complainant to show that in the progress of the administration. as conducted and controlled by the proper probate court, errors both of law and fact may have been committed. Thus in Jones v. Graham, 36 Ark. 383-·401, it is said that"All persons interested in the action of the administrator, to be affected by his settlemeut, arll charged with due notice of its filing. They are requ.ired to follow the regular statutory proceedings of probate court, and take notice of what may atfect them. Administrations must, perforce, go through these
SMITH fl. WORTHINGTON.
courts; and they would be attended with additional hardships, delays and expense, if,. special notIce to every one interested was required. * . . * There are manY allowances of an improper nature, especially concerning attorney's and agent's fees, and, as already noticed, commissions. The court seems to have been more liberal to the administrator than is consistent with a due regard to the rights of the heirs and distributees. These objectionable points. except as above stated, all range themselves under the class of errors. There is very little of a material nature which might not have been corrected at the time, or prevented, if the guardians of the children, or their mother, or any friend, had taken an interest in their affairs. The error should have been corrected by appeal, cr some other supervisory proceeding."
In Grocery Co. v. Graves, 43 Ark. 171, the court said:
"This is a bill in chancery to open an administrator's account, which has been confirmed by the probate court, for alleged fraud in obtaining credits for traveling expenses while on business. of the estate, and for excessive commissions. It was stated that the clerk had omitted to give notice of the filing of said account. The bill was dismissed on demurrer. It is the settled doctrine ()f this court that mere errors of the probate courts in making allowances to al1ministrators can be corrected only on appeal, and that they afford no ground for impeaching the settlements in a court of chancery. Ragsdale v. Stuart, 8 Ark. 268; Ringgold v. Stone, 20 Ark. 527; Mock v. Pleasants, 34 Ark. 64; Jones v. Ark. 383. There is no pretense that these allowances were obtained by misrepresentation, deception, or imposition upon the court, but only that they were illegal. It is a very great irregularity for the probate court to confirm an administrator's account before the notice prescribed by law has been given. But the clerk's omission of his duty does not render the account fraudulent."
Without attempting an exhaustive definition of the grounds neces· sary to exist to sustain a bill in equity to set aside the judgments and Drders of a court acting within the general lines of its jurisdiction, it may be said, generally, that it must appear that, in obtaining the judg· ment complained of, fraud has been practiced upon the court render· ing the judgment, or upon the party complaining of the judgment, Whereby he was prevented from appearing or being heard, or was kept in ignorance of some material matter, and thereby prevented from properly securing his rights; and, futhermore, it must appear that the party invoking the aid of the court of equity is himself free frOlIll fault or negligence. Insurance Co. v. Hodgson, 7 Cranch, 332; U. 8. v. Throckmorton, 98 U. 8. 61. . Under the provisions of the statutes of Arkansas regulating the administration of estates, the heirs and others interested therein are bound to take notice of the filing of the reports made annually, and the other statutory steps taken in the regular course of administra· tion. They have the right to appear and be heard in the probate for the protection 0[ their rights, and they can invoke the aid of that court in controlling the action of the administrator, and by appeal or otherwise can invoke, also, the supervisory control of the suo preme court of the state, so that ample provision is made for the pro· tection of the rights of all parties interested in estates. The provisions thus made for the benefit of those interested in estates are not, however, self-acting or self-executing. To be available they must be ,set in motioill by those for whose protection they are created; and unless prevented from so doing by some fraud, deception, accident, or mistake, a failure to avail one's self of these statutory methods will

the $evel'al W-ounds relied _upon by coinp1liin.a.nta for invoking equitable revision of the ,administration proceedings connected with the estate of, Elisha Worthington. It is said1\hat there was no aufor the ordersmadef()r the renting;, from year to year, thority to, ,the estate, nor for We incuITing the exof the realty penses caused thereby; that the power of the probate court is merely to subject the lands to the payment of the debts due at the time of the death of the and that the heirs, subject to the rights of creditors, are entitled'to the rents and profits of the realty. Granting that such is the law, the record shows that the complainants did not assert their righilll1t the proper time. ,The evidence shows that at the time Of the d,eatll of Elisha Worthington, the plantations The hwe(ls for their owned by h.tin were in protection were greatly injured, and no rents or, profits could be expected therefrom, unless outlays were made thereon, and care and supervision over,t1J.e strictly exetcis(ld., The record shows that the heirS. qf.' thedooeasoo were very numerous, numbering at least 40, and widely scattere4. It also appears that when the lettem of administration-were issuoo,·in November, 1873, there was a family meeting representatives ()f foul' Ififths' of the interests in the estate, and-at this meeting it was agreed that E. T. Worthington and Isaac M. Worthington should be appointed administrators, .one of-whom was to, reside upon the realty,andhave the thereof,&I).d' for his services was: to he paid such sum,.in 8.d.dition to the statutory commissions, as might be fixed by the pI'(lbatecourt. There certainly appears n.othing'illegal or in· equitable in the arrangement thus agreed upon.: Certainly those who were preli/ent, and consented thereto, should be bound 'by it; and those wh() were.. not then represented, but who have for years aequiesced in what was then done, and who never expressed dissatisfaction with the action then taken, should now be held· equally bound. Until, the bill was filed in the present case, in December, 1885, more than 12 years after this arrangement was made, not a single one of the heirs of Elisha Worthington made any objection to the action taken, or expreSsed even a wish· for a change in the management of the property of the estate. If no letters of administration had ever been taken out, but this family meeting had been held in November, 1873, and E. T. Worthington and Isaac M. Worthington had been selected to take of the proPerty in the interest of all the heirs, and they had in fact done· so, .and had continued such management for a period of 12 years, without Jet or hindrance, certainly a court of equity, if then appealed to, could not rightfully ignore the family arrangement thus entered into, and acquiesced in for so· many years, and treat the parties Who had undertaken the supervision'of the propertyas wrongdoers from the beginning. On the contrary, it would be the duty of the court to recognize this arrangement as valid, and to settle the rights of the parties accordingly. Certainly the legality of the arrangement made for the management of the property was not vitiated because the parties intrusted with the management of the

realty were appointed the administrators of the eliitate, and thereby became subject to the control of the probate court. The action of the probate court in regard to the renting of the realty, thus recognizing the family ap;reement entered into, cannot be excepted to on the ground of a want of authority in the court to control the real estate, and its rents and profits, as against the heirs, for in so doing it was simply recognizing the action taken by the heirs for the protection of their interests in the realty. In connection with this general subject, the action of the administrators in selling certain mules to the tenants on the realty, in order that they might be enabled to make a crop, and. the order of the probate court authorizing such action, are vigorously assailed as without warrant of law, because the statutes of Arkansas require the personalty to be sold at public auction. Such action could affect only two classes of perS()Qls interested in the estate, to wit, creditors and the heirs. All the debts of the estate have been paid in full, and the creditors have never objected to this action on part of the court and the administrators. By the family ar· rangement already referred to, the administrators undertook the man· agement of the realty. The cultivation of the plantations, whether done ilirootly by the administrators, or indirectly through tenants, would the use of mules. If the mules already on the plantations were sold at puolic auction to third paJ'ties, the administrators would be compelled to supply their places with others, or the crop could not be raised. It is not made to appear that any loss was caused to the heirs by the action complained of; and certainly the administrators, acting as trUstees for the heirs under the arrangement aJ.. ready described, cannot be held liable for the value of the mules, when it does not appeaJ' that the heirs have not received the full value thereof. The second general ground of exception to the action of the probate court and the administrators in the settling of the estate is that excessive comm.issions and allowances for traveling expenses and for extra compensation to the administrators were authorized by the court. The amounts to be allowed for commissions, traveling and counsel fees for defending the suits against the estate were all matters clearly within the jurisdiction of the probate court; and its action therein cannot be impeached in a court of equity, except it appears that the probate court was imposed upon, or that the heirs were fraudulenly misled or deceived in regard thereto, so that they were deprived of the opportunity to be heard in the probate court. There is nothing in the evidence upon which to found the claim that either the court or the heirs were fraudulently deceived in regaJ'd to these matters; and, as no appeal was taken from the orders of the court in readjusting and settling the annual reports of the administrators. the same aJ'e conclusive. In regard to the allowances made from time to time for extra compensation to the administrators, acting in the capacity of trustees for the heirs in the management of the realty, no wound for equitable relief against the same is shown in the evidence. It had been that the trustees should be paid such sum as the probate court would allow as proper compensation. From year
The evidence j:ustifies the finding that the heirs had to the payment o( a proper sum to be fixed by the probate court. That court has fixed the amount in settling the annual accounts, and no one has excepted thereto. It is a general rule of equity that in settling trusts the .court may allow proper compensation \for services rendered bya trustee. v. Howard, 89 N. Y. 179; Bendey v. Townsend, 109. U. S, 665, a Sup. et. Rep.. 482. The thirdgrqund relied upon for equitable relief is that there was no authority in1aw for the.order providing for the sale of the realty. In the amendrQ.e:nt filed to the bill the complainants withwew that part of the prayer for relief which asked that the sale the lands might beset aside for fraud, and that they be·sold direction of this COUi't,. and .that .the. administrators be charged with the reasonable rents of the landS while in their possession. In cases of sales actually ordered and had, but without authority. therefor, the owners of the realty; lllay waive the question of authority, and affirm the sale, a:Q.d this is the effect of the amendment to the bill in this instance.. The' sale being affirmed, it stands,as though, there had been originally. sufficient authority for making it,. and the owners of the realty are rew.j,tted t9 the proceeds realized, unless possibly in cases wherein .that the property wrongfully by the trustee, and where in fact it appears that the trustee was interested in the Pllrchase. It is chargediI/.;the bill that Isaac M. Worthington was in fact interested in the purchase made of. the realty by W.W. lford, aud that the t'lame WQl!l sold for less than its fair value, but. there is no sufficient. evidel;lce to support these allegations. The lands. were appraised by three appraisers at $21,038, and were sold to Ford for the sum of $25,815. Ford testifies that he bought the lands at the administrators' and that he afterwards sold Isltac :M:·.. tdn a half intel'ElSt therein.. The evidence wholly fails tOJlhows that the lands did not sell for all they were worth, or that theadministrator .was interested jn the purchase made by Ford. There is nothing, th,erefore, made to appear which would. justify a coprt ,9i equity in ch.:;lJ:'ging the trustee for any sum greaterthan that nein fact received from the. purchaser of the realty, .and which he. reported to, and .accounted tot' in his settlement of the estate in, the' probate ' court. In regard to the fourth and fifth groun<ls of attack upon the settlement of. the estate, to wit, that there. Were omis'e19ID3 in the accounts of the administrators, an<f that the settlement of the estate was prolonged beyond the statutory period, benefit of the administrators, itis sufficient to say tbfl,t there is.not evidence of any fraudulent omission to account for prQperty, of such a nature as to justify a court; of equity in opening vp the· adininistrators' acc:;ounts, and certainly no action can be '.taken in tbe courts of the United States to ,compel the closing .of an admiJ:!.istration. .' Whether there are circumstances which require the keeping open of. an estate is primarily for .the probate court to .deterUline, and its action can be controlled by courts ha.ving dire<}t supervisory power .over it.
to yea;r the allowance was made without objection from any one.
ministration of this estate, the way was open to them by proper iWtion in the state courts. Having neglected to avail themselves of the proper remedy, they cannot complain in this court of the results the delay, for which they are partly responsible. In fa<lt it may be said generally of the attack made upon the proceedings eonnected with the settlement of the estate now in question that· it is largely based upon matters which were entirely withi.I1 the control and discretion of the probate court in 'the first instance. It appears more than possible that many of the criticisms made upon the action of the administrators have good foundation, and if exception had been taken thereto at the proper time, and in the proper court, much that is now complained of might have 'been avoided. We agree in general with the views advanced by counsel touching the evil of allowing estates to remain open withont good reason, and in condemning the absorption of the property of estates in useless expenditures and .liberal allowances for commissions and the like; but the remedy for such evils does not lie in encouraging the parties interested in the estate to remain inactive for years, and then, when the estate has been finally wound up by the probate court, to maintain a bill in equity against the administrator and his sureties, which in effect oDly proposes to reinvestigate and resettle the accounts of the administrator, which have already been passed upon and approved by the court primarily charged with that duty. The remedy for these evils, as is pointed out by the supreme court of Arkansas. consists In the exercise of diligence and watchfulness on the part of those interested in the estate, whereby all mistakes or wrongs can be promptly righted, and an effectual remedy be provided against the recurrence thereof in the future. Under the facts developed in the evidence in this case, we find no suffichmt ground· calling for the interposition of a court of equity in setting aside the order of the probate court discharging the administrator and his sureties from further liability and in undertaking to restate the accounts passed upon by that court. The decree of the drcuit court. dismissing the bill on the merits, is therefore affirmed, at costs of appellants.

To begin with, congratulations on your debut in Japan!
First, tell us about each member's role or character.
Key: I'm SHINee's energizer?
Minho: I think my nickname "flaming charisma" fits me very well for my character who dislikes giving up.
Taemin: I'm team's maknae who is always adored by everyone? (laugh) I'll show my aegyo a lot in Japan too.
Jonghyun: I'm in charge of being joyful, a character helpng smooth, adjusting things to go well
Onew: And I'm in charge of SHINee's leader
That's very concise. How did you feel when you heard about your debut in Japan, and what did you do to prepare for it?
Minho: All our members were very happy. Frankly speaking, we got nervous but felt we'd love to show our music and performances to Japanese fans. While recording the debut song in Japanese we studied Japanese watching Japanese movies or dramas. I think it is part of the process of learning more about Japan.
Jonghyun: I'm glad we can study Japanese culture and contribute to cultural exchange between both countries
We saw Key's tears when you announced your Japan debut during your live in the Yoyogi stadium last year. Did you have lots of thoughts?
Key: First off, it was our fist time to perform on such a big stage. I couldn't see the audience well when we started our live, but when I was able to see fans at the ending I was touched very much. And at the happy news about our debut in Japan, I was moved into tears.
Minho: It was meaningful because it was our first solo live.
Jonghyun: The ending song was "One." When I glanced at Minho standing next to me, he was singing very sincerely. I got teary with lots of memories with members coming to my mind.
Do you have such moments of feeling with members during your live?
Onew: Yes, we do so when we have eye contacts with each other on stage. We try to adjust through talk while practicing, but at the end, we can feel what other members are thinking through our eyes.
While you spend time together, do you get influenced by each other, for instance, training or singing skills, or food taste?
Key: Yes! As for food, thanks to Taemin, I got to like meat, which I didn't like that much before.
Taemin: (Looking at Key) my way of thinking has changed a little. I thought I would change naturally inside when I turn 20, but now I think someone doesn't change like that simply because he gets older (laugh).
Jonghyun: Taemin now likes exercising at a gym thanks to Minho and me? (laugh)
Taemin: Right, we get to learn from each other. I learn about singing from Onew hyung and Jonghyun hyung, Minho hyung gives me advice. Key hyung gives me tips related to fashion.
You mention fashion. What is your fashion point as fashion leaders?
Key: I think our concept is 'contemporary boys' that is what SHINee are, natural, cool, and friendly.
What music and dance styles do you like?
Key: I listen to almost all the new songs I like. I like urban (modern dance music with rap) and pops.
Minho: I like R&B or ballad, and like tough dance performance.
Taemin: I think music and dance are the same in the end in delivering music. I like songs with strong beat I can show dance performance to.
Jonghyun: I listen to punky music like Maroon5 or T.O.P. Recently I'm learning guitar.
Onew: I like and listen to old pop a lot.
- You like different styles. What ritual do you have before recording?
Taemin: I do vocal exercises, pull my voice together, and drink lots of water
Minho: Before recording, I practice listening to the song several times. It makes me feel less nervous and feel like I can sing better.
Onew: It's important to practice listening to the song again and again.
Jonghyun: I try to understand the lyrics completely, and then to sing to express the feelings
Then, what do you do before your performance on stage?
Minho: We stand in a circle and shout "Fighting~"
Taemin: Shouting "Fighting!" helps clear our throat (laugh). So we can't skip "Fighting!"

Taemin learns a lot from his hyung, Thanks to them made Taemin change better and better. He grows well *tears like a mother saw his son's growing


text: The cut is merely an asset to the quiff; the real magic lies in its styling. The hairdresser might give you a top-notch style straight after a cut, but you have to be able to re-create it at home. Spray sea salt spray all through the hair until it feels rather wet. If your hair is already damp, make sure you work enough product into the strands. Blast a blow dryer on high and use your fingers to work the hair upwards while drying. Pull the hair forward and then bend it back so you get the quiff shape, and ensure you don't miss the roots while drying. The main trick is to keep working your fingers through the roots; this will create an insane amount of movement from within. You need that. If you want to stop here, make sure you've achieved the desired shape of the quiff before spraying the strands with hair spray. If you're after more precision with the styling of your quiff, however, keep going with the styling steps below. For thick, curly hair: Contemplate relaxing your curls / waves by first stretching out the hair whilst blow-drying. However you can wear it curly too, it all depends on how curly your hair is at the front. Defer to your hairstylist for advice if you're unsure what works best. For fine hair: To give definition to the locks, fine hair requires an incredible amount of volumising mousse and/or sea salt spray in the early stages of styling. Once you've created the desired shape, take a dollop of non-shine hair gel (our preference is with American Crew) and work it in the same motion as your quiff. The consistency of the hair gel will hold the style for a long duration. If needed, you can also use some hair spray, though keep in mind that when the hair spray and gel eventually dry up you'll be left with a brittle feel to the hair. For frizzy hair: Start with sea salt spray, shape the hair into the desired quiff shape and then work hair wax or clay from the roots upwards. The hair wax will keep the flyaway hair strands at bay, and it'll also last longer.

In case minute particles such as grime, gunk, and other unwanted properties ever infiltrate the air intake, this will mess up the valves and pistons. Thanks to your Kia Amanti air filter, contaminants are filtered to keep air that flows into the intake manifold dirt-free. As the air filter gathers more dirt, it will get clogged eventually and may need cleaning or removal and replacement to keep unfiltered air from being mixed with gas or diesel.
You will notice a dip in vehicle performance if you continue using a busted air filter. Fuel consumption and engine efficiency will be compromised all because of restrictive airflow, requiring the engine to use more fuel and to work much harder. Change the air filter if needed to enjoy efficient combustion and ignition and prevent engine parts from getting ruined. Buy a new filter that not only matches the specifications of your automobile but also features a high filtration capacity to keep air free from dirt.
You don't need to shop some place else to grab a high-grade Kia Amanti air filter at very low rates—we provide you with great alternatives from reputable aftermarket brands. What makes our store your best source of vehicle parts and accessories is the amazing deals we can give you like our low price guarantee, fast shipping, 24-hour customer care, and convenient payment options.

Hey lucky you, lucky me...
My parents recently returned from a fortnight in our smallest province, Prince Edward Island. While there, they did a number of very awesome things (of which they took very awesome pictures):
They also visited two wool mills. The first, Belfast Mini Mills, had a tearoom (with fresh cinnamon buns, which shut down any objections my father had to spending lots of time there). They got to see a variety of fibre animals and how their fibre is processed, including quivit (which my mum was quite taken by), and how the leftovers could be made into felt. Mum bought some really nice aran yarns there.
They also went to MacAusland Woolen Mills, which makes yarn and weaves blankets. Here mum got a baker's dozen of yarns there, which she had shipped home along with two wool blankets.
"How do you work with yarn in skeins?" she asked while she was on the island. "I tried to wind one off my feet in the car today and it didn't go so well. Your dad had to keep driving so I could finish."
My mum had never seen the ballwinder and swift before, so when I brought it home this weekend, she was amazed. By yesterday afternoon, she'd wound more than 30 hanks of yarn into balls.
I think my mom is a Knitter again.

(Reuters) - Following are some memorable quotes from the Pyeongchang Olympics on Thursday:
"One day when I went to buy some stuff from the shop I saw the cheese graters and thought, 'OK, why don't I put the cheese graters on the front of my old spikes, add some sandpaper for the heels and it looks like what I saw on the internet?'." - Spain's former track and field athlete Ander Mirambell on creating a pair of shoes for his first trial runs in skeleton back in 2005.
Kenyan skier Sabrina Simader on whether people at home think she is crazy: "Maybe some of them. My grandfather thinks so. Because he says it's a crazy sport and it's too risky."
"No, I'm OK, I'm OK. I asked the photographer if he was OK too and he said he was. I think it's getting scary to be a photographer on skiing hills." - Switzerland's Laura Gut on crashing into a photographer in the first run of the giant slalom at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre.
"It's a good thing that I got good results because I had showed a lot of confidence beforehand." - South Korean skeleton slider Yun Sung-bin on topping the standings after two heats.
"World Cup wins, I've been there a few times and know how that feels, but this is different. It's one of those things where you keep looking up the hill because I want to make sure it's real, like no one comes and skis faster." - Norway's Aksel Lund Svindal after his downhill gold.
"There's so much to do. Whereas I would normally take time to rest on my bed, here I went to the gaming hall in the park, playing table tennis, collecting pins. I've got a bagful and even twice as much in my room." - Dutch speed skater Esmee Visser on time spent away from competition at the Olympics.

I tried to be really clever (not) and use a button as a closure....it kind of worked, but I needed to think it through a little better. Here's front and back and the inside......

This is a piece of humor.
Short cropped hair, and weight just a kilo short of being classified as an overweight, and a rajput style moustache(Took lot of twirls to get it up !), i seemed to be looking as a picture of good living
A nice pair of goggles, (aviator style of course), and clad in jacket (uncharacteristic, but it is kind of chilly in Delhi, these days), I was waiting near Regal, to catch up with a school friend of mine.
Everybody has tied the knot that much I could understand, but she has a kid as well...! Suddenly I felt old, very old...but I was looking forward to meeting her, she was one of the few people who I bumped in BCL sporadically.
She walks in, and immediately recognizes me....for a mother she looks remarkably great...and I said" damm it you look great...very pretty...!!
Your attempt at diplomacy is not really great Srikant...but humor seems to be fine !
I do not need to diplomatic with you...I retorted, with a smile...!!
Chuck coffee (I was in no moods for a royal phatka !)...let's take a walk around, the weather is good. We made it to the open grassy space on top of Palika, and started reminiscing.
In walks, a punter policeman, a new recruit(just guessing here!), and looks at the couple(us).Immediately adopting the moral policing standard he walks with a gruff and menacing expression on his face...and uses some .........let's say Delhi words.
Not wanting to pick up a fight I just ignored...but he increased the decibel. Something snapped inside me, I stood up , jutted my chest out and said "Second Lt Srikant Rajan, 12 Rajputana Rifles, OTA Chennai...and that is my fiancée..., then for good measure in Hindi...your name, rank, commanding officer and taluka"
Balle Balle ho gayi...!!
Sorry sir, really sorry.....galti ho gayi...he almost made it to my feet...but I stepped back…… I wasn't sure if I would be able could contain my laughter...I just said....Dharamveer... aise parehan mat karo ...
Hearing his name, he gave a startled response, but I continued staring at his chest...on his name plate. His eyes caught my gaze, then almost in tears, he said....Sir, strict orders against couples here...there have been some cases here...and hum to bas apna kaam kar rahe they...but you can sit here sir...no problem.
But I had..., if punter got bada officer… the roles of me and punter would be reversed.
Ok, we will leave in a few minutes....ab aap jao yahan se.
Ok sire, bilkul sir…
The lady stared, and thankfully had a neutral expression…… I said in low tones we leave in 5 minutes, she nodded….
30 minutes later …in a CCD… (Pretty far from Palika !), Lady ji remarks…" That was wild ….but it was fun too...!"
If the babu was around the punter….it would have been hilarious…madam…!! And someone else would be having the fun part, I added wryly.
Journey back home, I walked a bit and then took the metro from Barakhamba Road, and adopted a clean shaven look :):)

Source Of All Suffering
If There Is A God, Why Is There So Much Evil?
Last night's television drama Grey's Anatomy swept us through a cataclysmic event that rattled the doctors of Seattle Grace to the core.[i] Their fellow doctor and close friend, Callie Torres, was involved in a near-fatal car accident that ejected her body out the windshield. To make things worse, she was pregnant. The entire team of doctors assisted in the surgery of the mother and her unborn child. Some worked on Callie's brain while the others delivered the baby. Everyone was on the verge of an enormous life-changing moment.
After the surgery, Dr. Meredith Grey joins her husband, Derek, in the hospital elevator. The couple is worn out after a long drawn battle fighting for Callie and her baby's life.
Meredith confides in her husband saying, "Yesterday at the baby shower, I was jealous of Callie because she got pregnant without trying. And we've tried. I get shots. I take my temperature. I put my legs in the air… and nothing."
"The universe says, 'Forget you Meredith,' and gives Callie a kid. And then puts Callie through a windshield."
She turns to her husband asking, "I mean what the hell is going on? What's the point? I mean, is there a reason for this? Because if you can think of a reason, any reason at all why the universe is so messed up and random and mean, now would be an amazingly good time to tell me because I really need some answers."[ii]
Meredith referred to the meanness of the impersonal "universe" as the source of all suffering in the world. It's the reason why her friend Callie is confined on a hospital bed in a coma. It's the reason why her premature baby fights for its life in an incubator. In all probability, pointing a finger of blame upon the universe was the political correct thing to do.
Yet somehow, we sense that underneath Meredith's verbal protest against the universe, it indirectly points to God as the source of all evil. Which is why the question has been asked oftentimes, "If there is a God, why is there so much evil?" In an attempt to discredit the Christian faith, people have asked, "How can an all powerful God allow evil and suffering to exist in the world?" And if Meredith addressed her rant to God, this is probably what she would say: "I can't think of any reason at all why God is so messed up, why He's not in control of His universe, and why He is just downright mean."
These questions have opened another theological can of worms when it comes to the person of God and the problem of evil. And aside from Christianity, every other religious worldview offers up a solution to any soul who suffers. The question is, "Who has got the best answer?"
When it comes to answering life's tough questions from the Christian point of view, it is best to go back to the beginning. In Genesis 1 and following, God created human beings with a free will—a free choice. God didn't create us robots or puppets wherein He could push a button or pull a string and make us say or do what He wants. That is not selfless love that is self-serving tyranny. Realize that a loving God created you and me. And the Creator equips the creature with the gift of free will in order that we may freely know, love, and enjoy God forever.[iii] God desires that we love and obey Him out of our own choosing.
In light of this God-given freedom to choose good or evil, "Is God responsible for the evil that men and women do when He created them?" Throughout history, human freedom reduced the good in this world through a wrong series of choices. Free will is the source of evil. Human beings are free to choose to mess with their fellow human beings, to randomly throw their neighbor under the bus, and to be just plain mean to everyone everywhere.
Free will, I might add, causes us to misinterpret or misunderstand our sorry situation. Rather than confess that we are part of the cause of evil in this world, we cry foul and wash our hands of any guilt. And if we're short of scapegoats, we conveniently place the blame squarely upon God's lap. We bite the hand that feeds us! We have turned the gift of free will given us into a curse of God inflicted upon us. In so doing, we have come up with this warped idea, this wrong conclusion that states, "Real love rescues from all the pain of suffering."
Suffering is seen as a threat to face until we see it in perspective. What we don't realize is that suffering is for our own good. Pain ushers us into the presence of God. The pain of suffering and the presence of God go hand-in-hand. They are intricately woven together. Pain pushes up against God and His purposes for us. God is a God of intention and meaning. God communicates to us through our life crisis, our pain and suffering, and our wounded and broken world.
God took it upon Himself to step down, become what we are, and live among us.[iv] The Creator of the universe made Himself vulnerable. He entered into the experience of our pain and suffering through Christ. And because our own free will drove us away from God in rebellion to His will, God took the initiative and drew near to us. God loved us so much that He gave up His only beloved Son Jesus to die in our behalf.[v] He did this in order to pay for our sins and bring us back to Himself.[vi] Under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.[vii]
Only a Holy God can overcome an evil problem. God set the laws of the universe in place. A Holy God cannot wink at our sin, short circuit the system, bribe the law, and rescue us from our sin. The Just Judge of all the earth plays according to the universal rulebook. Our free will to rebel against God demands punishment. We are found guilty and unable to pay the price for our sin.[viii] The payment of sin is death.[ix] It takes the Holy Judge to remove his cloak of justice, step down from his high court, and pay the penalty of our sin with His life.
The crucifixion was a most horrific, most horrendous execution ever. The crucified Christ was the sinless Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.[x] The problem of evil, pain, and suffering has been dealt with at the foot of the cross. The unspeakable evil of the cross was transformed into an unspeakable good for the human race. In spite of evil running rampant in the world, God did not forsake us. God Himself dies in Christ. Evil can never ever have the last word over God. God saved the last word on the cross when Christ cried out, "It is finished!"[xi] His mission to rescue sinful willful men and women who have gone astray in a world of pain and suffering is accomplished.
There are unfortunate souls in this world that do not know of God and his love. These are the ones who continue to live their lives in deep pain and quiet desperation.[xii] It was a grim discovery for the music world when Brad Delp,[xiii] 55, the lead singer for the band Boston killed himself in his home. Delp's fiancée found his body on the bathroom floor with his head on a pillow and a note that was paper-clipped to the neck of his shirt. He had sealed himself inside with two charcoal grills and committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.[xiv] The note read: "I am a lonely soul."[xv] In another note posted at the top of the stairs Delp wrote: "I take complete and sole responsibility for my present situation. I have lost my desire to live."[xvi] In spite of being surrounded by his adoring fans, musical fame, and big hits fortune, Brad Delp was reduced to a lonely soul that lost its desire for life. He exercised his free will to commit suicide.
We were not meant to live alone in this world but to live out our lives in relationship with God for all eternity. What's amazing is that you can drop in a parachute in the most remote part of the earth and you will still come upon people who are religious by nature. All the religions of the world are human made.[xvii] God in Christ is not offering us a religion made up of rigid rules and regulations to live by, but a relationship where we can know, love, and serve Him with all our hearts. In Christ, we will discover a desire to live in and through Him.
We can have a relationship with God through the death and resurrection of His Son. Now would be an amazingly good time to choose Christ as the ultimate answer to the problem of evil. By your own free will, "If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."[xviii] Choose to embrace His loving relationship today. Amen.

Bellator MMA has long been the number two organization in the North American MMA scene. Regardless of how many other organizations have come into the world of MMA, Bellator has maintained its position as a viable alternative to the UFC. However, the question has now become: Can Bellator ever draw even with the UFC, or surpass the UFC in terms of popularity and/or quality? To the first part of the question, I say no. The UFC is so ingrained in the world that it's almost impossible to replace it in the collective minds of casual and hardcore fans. So the second part of the question comes front and center: Can Bellator replace the UFC in regard to the quality of fighters/fights?
So, if at the top end of their respective talent pools, there isn't much of a gap between the UFC and Bellator, why isn't Bellator more of a contender against the UFC? Top-level talent is only one aspect of an organization, albeit the one that gets the most attention, headlines cards, draws eyes, earns big paydays, and generally pushes organizations and divisions to great heights. What defines the divisions and provides an organization with stability, however, is the second and/or third tier guys who fill out the divisions. In other words, the depth of the organization as a whole and the depth of the individual divisions within the organization are tied together, and this is where Bellator unfortunately falls short. This that will keep it from ever being a real competitor to the UFC, instead of just an alternative to it.
Because Bellator doesn't have this kind of depth, it won't be able to truly compete with the UFC. Until the promotion has roster of legitimate and competent fighters, it will never truly gain the goodwill of fans or of the sport as a whole. Without depth the organization can't provide consistency, without consistency the organization can't develop trust , and without the trust of the fans and the media, Bellator cannot be a legitimate competitor to the number one organization in North America, The Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Gazans launch 'Rubble Bucket Challenge'
Following the global success of the Ice Bucket Challenge, a campaign aimed at supporting the people of Gaza named the 'Rubble Bucket Challenge' has become a hit on social media.
Mimicking the viral craze, the premise is that instead of using frozen water, Gazans instead pour the rubble of destroyed buildings over their heads to highlight the spate of bombings in the region.
The campaign, exemplified below by journalist Ayman Aloul, has seen more than 3,000 tweets sent using the hashtag #rubblebucketchallenge since Saturday.
In Aloul's video, a translation of his comments read: "The use of water is more important than to empty over our heads, and even if the water is available it is difficult to freeze it."
"And when we tried to make the Palestinian version, we looked around us, we find the place as you see (destroyed buildings). Therefore I decided to use it instead of iced water."
Many others have now followed suit, with several from around the world posted on a Facebook page dedicated to the challenge.
Around 2,100 people, including more than 490 children, have been killed in Gaza since 8 July, when Israel launched an offensive aimed at ending rocket fire into its territory.
Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and four civilians in Israel have been killed during that time, and the country says it has warned citizens of Gaza to avoid areas "terrorist activities against Israel originate".
