No two samples of Italian leather will be exactly the same because of the treating process and the individual hide used to make them. Keep in mind that these minor imperfections aren’t actually damage. They’re just marks caused by the natural tanning process used to make the leather. [2] X Research source Other leathers sometimes use chemicals in the treating process that mask or hide the smell of real leather, but Italian leather does not....

We’ve got everything from interactive movies to first-person indies, PS2 classics, and even one entry that is not a full game. There should be something for everybody here, with titles that can appeal to scaredy-cats and the most desensitized of gore hounds alike....

Nine-year-old Landon Melvin of Indiana recently learned this lesson for himself, when he was tasked with helping to clean out his family’s SUV. There, he found an enormous wad of cash tucked under one of the floor mats. “I was cleaning my dad’s car when I looked under the floorboard and I found a package,” Landon told WRTV Indianapolis. “I told my dad and he said, ‘whatever.’” His dad, Michael Melvin, confirmed his response to ABC7 Chicago....
“ATTENTION: The 911 lines are not operational nationwide,” tweeted the Minneapolis Police Department. “This is for phone calls and text messaging.” The outage lasted less than an hour. “Our policy is not to delete tweets, but we’ve pulled down the tweet about 911 being down,” tweeted the Hennepin County Sherrif’s Department in Minnesota. “It been restored and we do not want people to falsely think it is still down. Please do not call 911 to test the system, as it may interfere with real emergency calls getting through....
The planet, named Kepler-1704b, could also explain how certain planets end up orbiting their host stars in non-circular ways. Researchers have dubbed Kepler-1704b a “failed hot Jupiter” that orbits its host star, Kepler-1704, once every 989 days or so. It is around 2,690 light years away from Earth. The planet has a mass of around 4.15 times that of Jupiter but has a similar radius. Hot Jupiter-type planets are nothing new....
But when “Boyz N the Hood” opened to episodes of audience violence on July 12–just four months after the similarly bloody opening of “New Jack City”-it left the boom’s future up in the air. No one can blame either movie for the acts of its audience; Singleton’s film has a strong anti-violence message. But the trouble now suggests a disturbing pattern: films that address the violent element of urban America-from “The Warriors” and “Colors” (both made by white directors) to “New Jack City” and “Boyz N the Hood”-risk bringing that element out....
Painful as it sounds, that’s what many people used to think. But according to a study appearing Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it now seems that there is a biological basis for SIDS, which kills more than 2,100 infants a year in this country. SIDS was long regarded as a mystery disease. But the study by Dr. Hannah Kinney and David Paterson at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School provides the strongest evidence to date that babies who succumb to SIDS have specific problems in a part of the brainstem, known as the medulla, that helps regulate automatic functions like heart rate, breathing and body temperature....
A Black man born in a blue-collar family, Elder grew up in the Pico-Union and South Central areas of Los Angeles. He graduated from Crenshaw High School, the same school featured in the award-winning 1991 film Boyz N the Hood examining race, relationships and gang violence. Despite the racial prejudice that existed in the 1970s, Elder went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Brown University and a Juris Doctor from University of Michigan Law School in 1977....
The gunfire rattled throughout the capital as Albania’s armed revolt swept northward from the ravaged south. Almost overnight, the national police force, army and most of the government collapsed, leaving only chaos. In Tirana alone last week, at least 21 people died and 300 were injured, mostly from stray bullets. After government soldiers abandoned three state armories on the outskirts of the capital, thousands of residents–some as young as 8–carted off automatic rifles, hand grenades and fistfuls of ammunition....
Music is the least of it. The really remarkable change is so deep in China’s cultural fabric that a foreign visitor might never recognize it. The cacophony, the wild hair and the silly behavior are outward signs of an unprecedented transformation in Chinese attitudes. For roughly 2,000 years, from the Han Dynasty through the present rulers, Chinese have been trained to obey authority and to sacrifice personal desires for the communal good....
LEVY: What will be the impact of the Barcelona release? RUIZ: We entered what people call the enterprise space—these really high-end users of servers and workstations—in 2003 with Opteron, and Barcelona is the next step. It’s the same infrastructure, so customers will find it very easy to migrate. It brings a number of advantages in performance per watt, virtualization and other things, so we believe it’s going to strengthen our position in enterprise....
The former Hollywood heartthrob and star of shows like Joanie Loves Chachi, Charles in Charge and Scott Baio Is 45…and Single, Baio picked a fight with Sykes a week ago, pondering her support of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Sykes was late to discovering the tweet, but promptly clapped back at Baio while a slew of folks followed by dragging him through the social media mud and recalling Baio’s conservative views....
A journal: A quick tour of the playground, a concrete strip of landing-field proportions. Kids running, doing calisthenics, playing volleyball. Typical American scene except hardly anyone speaks English. The bell rings. Kids scatter to class. First item of business: Fabian Serrano, 9, returns after a three-day suspension for scrawling graffiti on a wall. Mother, sister and aunt come into my office, concerned and apologetic. “You must respect your school as much as your home,” intones vice principal Peter Riddal....
Trials are about casting and calculations, and Faneuil’s poised parrying on the stand last week offered surprises that are changing the course of this case. Going into last week, Martha was rolling, while prosecutors were stinging from a scolding from the judge for being slow to turn over key documents to the defense. Martha also could take some comfort in the jury. It is two-thirds women, a point in her favor, say jury consultants who contend men are more likely to find against a powerful woman....
Now that Warner Bros., a studio that has invested in both formats, has said it will abandon HD DVD by June, will sales take off? Not necessarily. Amid the speculation on whether the death of HD DVDs will be slow or swift, a third scenario has begun to seem likely: that the entire market for high-definition discs will wither as consumers download movies instead. In the bitter five-year struggle over formats, the technology for downloading movies has accelerated, and now a number of firms are poised to make discs irrelevant....
Today, he is a fugitive, in hiding in Pakistan. After spotting him at a funeral, NEWSWEEK’s Sami Yousafzai sought Jan out for an interview. Go-betweens instructed Yusefzai to take first a taxi, then a bus from the Pakistani city of Quetta. Aboard the bus, a guide told him to get off and change buses. The second bus stopped suddenly in the middle of nowhere on a lonely rural road, about 45 miles from Quetta....
