Guthrie’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a dark and reflective take in line with the times | White Cells Filter

71 Isaacs pointed out to Achmat the rumour emanated from one ‘KR’ and that the woman in question (‘KK’) was never an intern, never worked at the EE office, never had any formal role in EE, that Isaacs did not meet her at EE but through the 2009 UCT LLM Masters class, that he was never alone with her nor saw her socially, finally that there was never physical relationship at any point nor did he make any unwelcome advances.

“Just carry more water,” you say. Sure, you could, but if you know there are water sources along the trail, why not lighten your load by a few pounds and just bring a filter instead? As they say, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, give a man a water filter and he won’t have any fish, but he will have clean water.”

Late in its time with us, after we passed the 30,000-mile mark, some drivers noted a sense that there was more slop in the steering response, which was soon accompanied by a mild clunking noise. Our dealer confirmed the noise and tightened the pinion plug on the knuckle where the steering column connects to the rack. Problem solved, no charge. At the same 37,388-mile point, we also reported a noise that we suspected was coming from the rear suspension, but the dealer found the rear seat cushion was not properly latched down and was making the noise when crossing over bumps. It may have been loosened by someone hoping to find a way to make the rear seatback fold completely flat—it doesn’t, though the cargo space would be more useful if the cushion could be flipped forward out of the way.

These days, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are in the long, quiet process of codifying and consolidating. They are curating the 270-piece Surrounded Islands exhibition, which will travel to nine European museums (beginning with the Sonja Henie-Niels Onstead Foundation in Oslo in the fall of 1984) and eventually reach the United States; they are preparing two books on the Miami project and a small pocket paperback for German audiences on the Reichstag project. And they are choosing illustrations for a book on Christo by a French writer and for a monograph on the artist that will be published in Japan. All of which, in effect, is a long-term, culminative campaign against the enjoinder “no.”

403. I thus made it clear to both my colleagues that they were free to adopt one of a number of options. A Panelist could write “I agree” in respect of both results and reasoning; or write “I agree” with the result but not with the reasoning and then produce his or her own different Report which might become a minority dissent or a majority Report; or write “I disagree” with both reasoning and result and obviously then produce her or his own Report which also might become a minority dissent or a majority result.

124. Ultimately, a total of 19 written submissions have been furnished through the WLC to this Panel. Although none of these submissions have been furnished to any person interested in this investigation, I believe that it is important to indicate to both the general public and all interested parties that not all these submissions concern “sexual harassment or similar misconduct” and similarly not all these submissions concern either Doron Isaacs or Zackie Achmat or the persons involved in the 2011 Human Resources Subcommittee hearing.

The DualDaddy is what I use for my personal, “day-to-day” frying. I purchased mine about two-and-a-half years ago and have not had any issues with it. It heats the oil at a reasonable speed and produces delicious donuts, fries, beer-battered bacon, onion rings, and more. The slotted spoon it comes with has proven to be a terrific all-purpose utensil that I use for a variety of different tasks besides deep frying.

Since you’re in Advanced features, you may as well spend a few minutes to toggle some features on or off. Smart Stay is handy as it keeps the screen from dimming if it recognizes you’re staring at it; you can turn off the quick launch for the camera (double tap the power button) if you don’t like it; or you can turn on SOS messages for emergences (triple tap the power button). There are quite a number of neat features here worth a look.

In the last few days, the allies of the BJP, who once ate humble pie and remained in the coalition despite confessing in private that humiliation was a constant element in their relationship with the saffron party, have forced its leadership to come to the negotiating table and agree to the partners’ terms. Recent events within the ruling National Democratic Alliance indicate the changed equations within the saffron fold in comparison to 2014, when almost every party not in ideological opposition to the BJP was eager to be part of the bandwagon, and on the BJP’s terms.

“It would make no difference to me.” Korenkiewicz says quietly. “That’s the chance a defense lawyer always takes.”

93. But I do believe that it is necessary to express my greatest concern, serious disquiet and even disgust at persons who hide behind anonymity for themselves when making grave and reputational destroying allegations against persons whom they freely name and shame and deny the same opportunity for privacy before any investigation into the truth or otherwise of these allegations is conducted.
