The dispute between Supreme Court President Štefan Harabin and the judges of the Constitutional Court has intensified. Constitutional Court justices Ľudmila Gajdošíková, Ján Luby and Ladislav Orosz objected to Harabin’s statement over the ruling issued in the case of so-called Ducký’s bills, which involves the Swiss company Gen Man Ventures AG, the SITA newswire reported on August 15.
“The statements of the Supreme Court president that our ruling from August 13, 2013 that it ‘smells of corruption and evident purposefulness and that this is a crime in the state of law’ are based on nothing and are obviously purposeful,” reads the statement of the judges, as reported by SITA.
Gen Man Ventures AG is trying to collect CZK1 billion based on the promissory notes signed by Ján Ducký, one-time boss of the gas utility SPP, the Sme daily reported. The Constitutional Court issued a ruling that the company’s rights had been violated earlier this week. Harabin has criticised the decision. The other nine judges of the Supreme Court have revolted against Harabin, condemning his attacks on the Constitutional Court, Sme wrote.
The so-called Ducký’s Bills of Exchange, amounting to Sk1.4 billion (now equivalent to approximately €46 million), were supposed to have been signed by Ducký, who was shot and killed in front of his house in Bratislava in January 1999. He served as economy minister in two governments under Prime Minister Vladimír Mečiar between 1992 and 1998. The bills are connected to the SPP and have become the bone of contention and the core of a protracted lawsuit since then. Ducký’s death is thus far unexplained.

WEST HAM look poised to lose Marko Arnautovic, and one superfan is not happy at all.
Dave Walker, host of The West Ham Way podcast on Phoenix FM, is furious with Arnautovic, who has been subject to a £35m bid from Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG.
The Austria international joined from Stoke in 2017 and has scored 19 goals in 53 Hammers appearances, converting from the role of winger to centre-forward during last season.
And Walker launched into an angry, but measured, rant while speaking to his co-hosts on the latest episode of The West Ham Way.
“On Twitter there are character restrictions, so I really have been keeping quite in-depth opinions on this subject that I want to have a little bit of time to air.
“It’s not often I create a few bullet points to remind me of what I’m going to say because I desperately don’t want to miss it, so I want your thoughts on this but I also want to have my say because I’ve waited a week and it’s killed me.
“With Marko Arnautovic, I do want to start by saying that any man or any woman in any walk of life that has the opportunity to treble their wage, you can’t hold against them - in any walk of life.
“So I’m a realist, I understand that, I accept it.
“But I have three main issues with Marko’s situation here and the reason I want to say this specifically, is I’ve seen quite a lot of support for Marko from sections of West Ham fans and it’s been quite frustrating to read at times so I just want to put this across.
“Firstly, Marko shouldn’t be telling West Ham fans or putting it out publicly that he’s leaving to win trophies and titles.
“He’s going to f*ing China! To win these titles and trophies, it means nothing to anyone, he might as well go to the power league and f*ing win trophies there, it means nothing to no one.
“Well maybe to Chinese players, with the exception of people living in China maybe, and supporters of the club that I can’t pronounce and have no idea who they are.
“But probably in two or three years time, everyone will forget who he is anyway.
“But don’t lie to West Ham fans, it’s clear that he’s going for a pound note so just be honest, tell us you’re leaving for money - that was the first thing, I don’t like being lied to.
“Second thing is, his tt of a brother has been a pain in the ae for this football club for probably best part of a year now.
“Every single transfer window he’s coming out saying ‘oh you know, Marko’s this, Marko’s that. He should be at a top four club, he’s been banging them in, West Ham should pay him more money. There’s interest from European clubs’.
“And understandably the West Ham fans are p***ed off with him for saying those things.
“But let’s not forget, Marko hasn’t asked him to stop saying those things, in fact I’d put quite a lot of money on him sanctioning him saying those things.
“So he’s got to take a big element of the blame for that as well, because publicly I think that takes the p*** out of West Ham and I’m fed up with it.
“The third point angers me because when he walked off against Arsenal, he waved goodbye to the fans.
“Who the f* does he think he is? Seriously? Who the f* does he think he is?
“Don’t even get me started on the phone signal [Arnautovic was spotted gesturing with his hand to the box where his family sit during the win over Arsenal].
“Now I’m desperately trying to avoid believing that that was some kind of gesture in relation to his agent forcing him a move.
“Now I don’t know what your thoughts are on that, but I’ve heard that from quite a few people, that’s the opinion and to be fair I don’t know what an alternative would be for what he meant by that.
“But he gets applauded off by West Ham fans, I don’t understand it?
“That’s like me walking into the family home and telling my wife I’m leaving her for another woman and then walking out the door waving a picture of my mistress - it’s taking the p*** out of West Ham, it is!
“The last thing is the timing of the departure, because you can’t tell me that he couldn’t negotiate successfully with the Chinese club and give West Ham the chance to agree a fee they’re comfortable with and leave at the end of the season.
“Because if he did that West Ham fans would pat him on the back, wish him the best of luck and that would be that.
“But he’s doing it at a time thats gonna leave us vulnerable - we’re a couple of weeks away from the closure of the transfer window.
“Why doesn’t he just stay for the rest of the season? Because there’s no way the Chinese club are gonna pull out, they’ll wait until the end of the season.
“He might claim he’s got love and respect for West Ham but he’s only got love and respect for Marko Arnautovic, make no mistake about that.
“So I don’t want to see him kiss the f***ing badge or cross his arms because he ain’t one of us, he’s proved he ain’t one of us.
“And this needled me a lot when [Dimitri] Payet left, and I’ve seen comparisons made and people are saying well Arnie is still turning up for training and still giving 110 per cent in games.
“Well yeah, but that’s because to my knowledge the club haven’t said to him you’re not going.
“When they said that to Payet, that’s when he decided to strike.

Welcome to Around The League's latest weekly feature. This series is an extension of the offseason's Top 40 "Making the Leap" candidates, with a nod to Baseball America's "Prospect Hot Sheet."
One of the most enjoyable aspects of following the NFL is watching young talents develop, injecting a playmaking element that takes opposing teams and casual observers by surprise. A perfect example from last year was Randall Cobb, emerging from special teams weapon and occasional slot receiver to Aaron Rodgers' go-to receiver as the season progressed.
The goal of this piece is to highlight part-time players making the leap to difference-makers or unproven young talents ascending to key contributors. Once players have truly made the leap, they will graduate from this running list.
Our first graduate is Harrison Smith, who has established himself as one of the NFL's premier safeties. He's made the leap.
Previous lists: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 prospects for Week 4.
You can be forgiven if you confuse the two. The Browns mistakenly placed a phone call to Jordan -- already selected by the Saints in the first round -- when they drafted Cameron with the No. 102 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Jordan was left off this list the first few weeks because he already had made the leap to elite run defender last season. Through three games this year, it's evident that he's also emerging as one of the league's most disruptive pass rushers in Rob Ryan's scheme. He's suddenly battling the Jets' Muhammad Wilkerson as the best young defensive end not named J.J. Watt.
Along with Dontari Poe of the Chiefs, this fearsome foursome is at the heart of the most improved defensive fronts in the NFL.
"Big Snacks" Harrison has been the NFL's premier shutdown run-plugger in the middle. For a man of his carriage (6-foot-4, 350 pounds), his athleticism stands out on Game Rewind. Harrison's former community college coach described one basketball dunk as "360 degrees at 360 pounds."
As I mentioned on the "Around The League Podcast" Week 3 recap, there's a strong argument to be made that Lotulelei should have been a top-three overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. "He's not a star," Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy said this week. "He's a superstar. And this superstar is a beast. I see some crazy things for his future. When and if he does keep developing, he's going to be unstoppable."
Tannehill showed pinpoint accuracy and the arm strength to squeeze passes into tight windows on the game-winning drive versus the Falcons last week (as seen in the video below). That should come as no surprise. According to Pro Football Focus, Tannehill's accuracy percentage is 78.5 on intermediate level passes -- in the air between 10 and 20 yards -- is the NFL's second best figure.
Your early favorites for offensive and defensive rookies of the year? Hopkins might have to shoulder the load in the passing game this week with Andre Johnson shaping up as a game-time decision Sunday against the Seahawks. Mathieu racked up 10 tackles and an end-zone interception of Drew Brees in Week 3.
Jay Cutler was sacked nearly three times per game last season. That number is down to once per game so far this year, as Long and fellow Bears rookie Jordan Mills have solidified the right side of the offensive line. Long has the look of a perennial Pro Bowl selection.
EJ Manuel took eight sacks last week, but the pressure largely came up the middle where left guard Colin Brown is battling Raiders counterpart Lucas Nix as the biggest swinging gate in the league. Glenn, meanwhile, is emerging as a reliable blindside protector as well as an asset in the running game.

WASHINGTON — Iran has established a drone airfield inside Syria not far from a U.S. military base, U.S. officials said Tuesday. The airfield may be the source of drones that have recently threatened U.S. troops.
According to two U.S. defense officials, the Iranian airfield near Palmyra, Syria, has a ground control station for operating drones. The U.S. and the coalition have a base in At Tanf, Syria, close to where the Iraqi, Jordanian and Syrian borders intersect, 80 miles south of Palmyra.
The Iranians have been basing Shahed-129 drones at the airfield, according to the officials. The Iranian-made drones can be armed or used for reconnaissance. Neither official could say for sure whether either of the two drones that the U.S. has shot down in southern Syria flew out of that base, but both said it was likely.
The U.S. has established a 55-kilometer de-confliction zone around the base, and warned that any craft entering it may be intercepted. They recently deployed rocket launchers, called HIMARS, at the base to support Syrian Democratic Forces operating in the area and to provide protection to the garrison.
On June 8, the U.S. shot down a drone that had fired on coalition forces near At Tanf. A second armed drone was shot down by a U.S. jet on Tuesday as it approached coalition forces in the same area. The U.S. also downed a Syrian government warplane earlier this week in northern Syria.
Neither official would speculate on who is operating the drones that have tried to attack U.S. and coalition assets, but both said the Iranians have been training the Syrians how to use them.
U.S. special forces have been training Syrian opposition fighters at the At Tanf base for more than a year.
"To try to make friends with the same interests I have and help as many people in the process."
About Me I am a mom and a person that likes to have fun and enjoy life and help others as much as I can.
Wild Fact About Me I keep those to myself.
My Philosophy I am a very liberal person. Not religious. I think my main philosophy is that a country's character should be measured by how it treats its weakest and least fortunate(through no fault of their own)such as the elderly and children. Our country is not doing so hot.
What Gives Me Hope It is hard for me to give up hope. As long as there are good people in the world there will always be hope.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Universal Health Care. Our infant mortality rate is horrible and our healthcare system is run by insurance companies with only their bottom line on their minds. I think insurance companies need to insure cars and houses. They don't care enough about people. And abolish capital punishment. This country has executed innocent people and would have killed more if not for DNA and some good people that work at places like the innocence project that cared enough to save lives. That is barbaric and does not belong in any civilized society. Well that isl just my beginning.I think I was only supposed to pick one thing, but that is so hard with so many things needing to be changed.
What/who changed my life and why Quantum Theory. Such a strange choice for me. When I was in school I hated math and thought most of it useless in my life. I could add,subtract and divide. What more did I need to know to lead my life of motherhood. When my eyes were finally opened that without the physicists work our world would not have so many of the things I liked. And when I read about it is was fascinating, but Quantum mechanics just blew my mind. I don't even understand all of it but I believe it explains so much. Very interesting.
Dearest Diane I wish you a happy Birthday !!

I hope you are OK dear Diane.
I wish you a happy weekend !!
